Van Gaal noticed this scene and his eyes lit up.
"Smart choice."
Chen Huan's passing idea was consistent with his. It was obvious from Tottenham's tactics in this game that they carried out targeted defense against Chen Huan.
Although defense can concentrate the abilities of several players to limit a player with superior personal strength to a certain extent, it is not without negative effects.
The players on the field who are responsible for defending a certain player will definitely pay more attention and energy to the designated player, and in this way they are bound to ignore other opposing players on the field.
Just like now, several players of Tottenham surrounded Chen Huan. They all left their defensive positions, which put other players of Manchester United in an open position without anyone to defend or restrict them.
And for a championship team like Manchester United, every player on their field has excellent ability to create threats.
Mata stopped Chen Huan's pass comfortably in the open space. The midfielder, whose playing style is getting better and better with age, transferred the ball to Manchester United's top of Tottenham's big man before Tottenham shifted the defensive center. In front of Wilson, one of the two center forwards at the front of the penalty area.
Wilson is just an ordinary player in the star-studded Manchester United team, but at this moment, the Englishman used his body to hold the Tottenham center back behind him and passed the ball to Falcao on his side.
Wilson's ability to play above the passing line is the reason why he can find a chance to play in this Manchester United team.
Fazio, the Tottenham center back behind Falcao, tried to break the ball with his hands and feet, but Falcao's skillful ball control skills made him useless. Falcao swayed to the left, and at the moment Fazio stretched his legs, the ball was transferred to his right foot again, and then followed by a hidden and fast goal.
This was a low arc shot, and the ball rubbed the grass in the penalty area and rolled towards the lower right corner of the goal.
Vertonghen tried to stretch his legs to break the ball, but he couldn't touch the ball.
Just as the ball was about to roll into the goal line, Lori quickly reached the bottom, blocked the ball with his arm, and then pressed the ball under his body before the Manchester United player who rushed to the ball to try to make up the shot.
""Ha!" The French goalkeeper, whose arms were obviously shorter than his height, got up from the ground and shouted.
Falcao couldn't help but shake his head slightly, secretly lamenting that his luck was so bad.
""Be careful!"
When the Manchester United players were lamenting that Falcao's shot failed to equalize the score for their team, Chen Huan suddenly noticed that Harry Kane, who had just jogged to the center circle, had moved between Manchester United's two central defenders at some point, and he immediately yelled. The three central defenders on Manchester United's back line clearly heard Chen Huan's yell, and beside them, Harry Kane suddenly started to move forward towards the gap between McNair and Evans.
The football was already in the air, heading towards Manchester United's penalty area.
Lori made a long pass directly to hit Manchester United's back!
McNair secretly pulled the corner of Harry Kane's clothes with one hand, ran a few steps, and after judging the landing point of the football, the two entangled again. In the end, McNair took advantage of his position to take the lead and headed the ball to Evans on his side.
"Wake up."Chen Huan pointed to his head and yelled to McNair.
Manchester United took possession of the ball and launched a counterattack, but soon the ball changed hands in the midfield. Tottenham controlled the ball and began to cooperate in a small range to try to"fish" out Manchester United's defense.
The two teams were similar in strength last season, and this season both teams have continued to make saves on the original basis. The combat effectiveness of both sides is almost the same. Now it depends on which side has a better ability to seize opportunities.
The game time then came to the 45th minute. After an attack by Manchester United was disrupted, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
Tottenham ended the first half of the game at home at White Hart Lane with a 1:0 advantage.
……
Longguo Sports Channel
"Okay, the first half statistics for both teams are out. First, Tottenham Hotspur had a total of 5 shots in the first half, 3 of which were on target, scoring a goal."
"Manchester United had a total of 6 shooting opportunities, 2 of which were on target, but failed to score.
From the data, the offensive opportunities of the two teams were similar, but Tottenham Hotspur was better at seizing opportunities.
"At this time, a picture of Manchester United's starting lineup appeared on the screen, and then light red lines appeared between the players.
Among them, the No.
30 player representing Chen Huan was covered with red lines, and the depth of the color was even two colors from Mata.
"From this pass heat map, we can see that the majority of Manchester United's front and back court coordination and linking work was done by Chen Huan. Chen Huan's short pass success rate and dribbling success rate were the highest among the players of both teams. From these data, it is not difficult to see that Chen Huan was in good shape in this game, but I also have a question, Coach Zhang, do you think Manchester United has developed a"Chen Huan dependence syndrome"?’?"
Coach Zhang did not respond immediately. He organized his words for a moment and then said,"Yes. Manchester United still has difficulty passing the ball in the midfield and backcourt, so Chen Huan needs to repeatedly retreat to the midfield and even to the backcourt to assist Manchester United players in organizing the ball and completing the forward advance."
"But we all know that Chen Huan is a player who is more threatening the closer he is to the goal. At present, Manchester United’s priority in the winter window is not to strengthen the front line, but to strengthen the midfield and backcourt positions, at least to make it difficult for the midfield and backcourt to pass the ball.���Solve this stubborn problem, and then free Chen Huan, allowing him to participate more in the attack."
……
The second half started with the referee's whistle fifteen minutes later.
Neither Manchester United nor Tottenham made substitutions in the midfield, and the positions of the players of both teams were roughly the same as in the first half. In the 62nd minute of the game, Tottenham's main striker Harry Kane suddenly pulled back from the front line, received a pass from his teammate, and passed the ball to Eriksen before the Manchester United players could get close. After the ball was passed, Harry Kane immediately started to move forward.
As if with telepathy, Eriksen shot a high ball to the back of Manchester United's defense the moment Harry Kane pushed McNair away.
"Referee, he pushed someone!" Mata shouted in protest to the referee while returning to his own defense.
