The Godfather of Football

The red old face has almost become Ferguson's symbol.

Chewing gum with a stubborn and stubborn look is also Ferguson's symbol.

And every time when he feels that he is in trouble, he can't sit still. He can only go outside and keep walking back and forth, sometimes looking at the court, sometimes looking down at the grass under his feet. If anyone wants to persuade him to sit down at this time, he will slap you without hesitation.

So, no one in Manchester United's coaching staff will come up to disturb him.

Ferguson felt that Ye Qiu had seen through all his cards, but not before the game, but during the game.

Perhaps some people would think that his previous substitution of two players at a time was questionable, especially the substitution of Hargreaves who performed well in this game. This is a very debatable substitution, but Ferguson knows very well what the purpose of his substitution is, which is to suppress Tottenham's momentum again.

Those so-called experts and football journalists are a bunch of guys who like to fart, and the fans listen to them all day long, but the head coach can't think so, especially considering that many times the head coach must consider the overall situation instead of the local situation every time he makes a decision, so it is inevitable that he will make mistakes in the local situation.

Every time a substitution is made, no one knows whether it is right or wrong, so there is no need, and no one is willing to make a substitution.

He said that Tottenham Hotspur is a team that plays with momentum. You must not be weak when you meet such a team. Once you are weak, they will take advantage of you. So the stronger they perform, you have to be stronger than them and suppress them thoroughly.

Tottenham Hotspur chased from 0:3 to 2:3. The situation was completely reversed. The pressure was all on Manchester United. Tottenham Hotspur had the advantage. At this time, Ferguson had two choices for substitutions. One was to become stronger and fight strong with strong, or simply strengthen defense, show the enemy weakness, and then defend and counterattack.

Ferguson dared not say which tactic was effective, but he was sure of one thing, that is, the latter might not be effective, because once the Tottenham Hotspur players pressed forward, their offensive coordination in a small area would be a nightmare for Manchester United's midfield and backcourt.

Hargreaves is a good defensive player, but Ferguson had to admit that he had overestimated him a little bit before. In terms of his ability to defend and cover the area, he might be a little like Keane, but in terms of passing, he was not comparable to Keane at all, too rough.

In the Bundesliga, his problem in this aspect was not very obvious, which made Ferguson miscalculate him a little bit, but in the Premier League with a faster pace and stronger impact, his problem and shortcomings were fully exposed.

Yes, Hargreaves does have a very good ability to fight for the ball, and he is also very good at marking people, but the problem is that it is useless to only be able to grab the ball, because if you lose it after grabbing it, it is even worse than not grabbing it at all, and once you lose it after grabbing it, the effort you put in to grab it back is not doubled, but multiplied several times.

It can be said that the ability to pass the ball is a very important criterion for measuring a top defensive midfielder. A midfielder who can't pass the ball is not a top midfielder at all, but can only be regarded as a ball-grabbing machine, just like Liverpool's Mohamed Sissoko, who is always destined to be a passerby.

Therefore, when Tottenham Hotspur reversed the situation, Hargreaves continued to stay on the field, which was equivalent to burying a mine in its backcourt for Manchester United, which could be detonated at any time and anywhere.

Ferguson also had an idea to replace Berbatov. Park Ji-sung could provide more running and coverage in the frontcourt. Therefore, after the Korean came on the court, he could directly reduce Tottenham's possession rate to less than 60%, which was impossible to achieve if Berbatov stayed on the court.

But after Berbatov was taken down, who would play in the middle was a problem.

Looking at the trident, Tevez and Park Ji-sung were not suitable for playing in the middle, only Cristiano Ronaldo.

When replacing Berbatov and letting Cristiano Ronaldo play in the middle, Ferguson had already noticed that Ye Qiu directly changed the formation back to the four defenders and let Thiago Silva entangle Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portuguese's basic skills are not ideal. Of course, the so-called unsatisfactory is for top superstars, so Ferguson has always arranged him to play on the wing, because relatively speaking, the wing has lower requirements for basic skills, just like stopping the ball. There are densely populated people in the middle, and if the ball is stopped a little bit, even ten centimeters, it may cause him to lose control of the ball.

Just like Cristiano Ronaldo's stop when he received Giggs's pass on the left, it was obviously a little big. If the same stop was on the wing, Cristiano Ronaldo's speed would allow him to catch up. So, he has no problem on the wing, but in the middle, the problem is obvious.

It can be said that the two substitutions of Manchester United were not effective, and even had problems, but perhaps someone would ask, is it okay not to make substitutions?

Ferguson can only say that if he didn't make substitutions, Manchester United would have been reversed by now!

Ye Qiu's substitutions were not positional substitutions, but conscious adjustments, and two of the changes made Manchester United suffer a big loss.

Many people have focused on Beckham, but they have not noticed that Ashavin played as an attacking midfielder after coming on the court. He and Cesc Fabregas formed a midfield dual-core, plus the frontcourt Messi, who is very capable of taking the ball, makes Tottenham Hotspur's entire midfield and frontcourt very stable in taking and delivering the ball.

The first and second goals conceded were typical examples of their small-scale cooperation to tear apart Manchester United's defense. They tell you with a clear attitude, I am smaller than you and more flexible than you. I just hit you higher and slower. If you have a time difference, can you bite me?

At the same time, after Arshavin came on the field, he not only had a good sense of coordination with Messi and Cesc Fabregas in offense, but also had good coordination in defense, especially against Hagry. Jeffs and Carrick, both players lack the ability to escape and are afraid of pressing.

Another change is that Mascherano retreats to the defensive line. This retreat ensures that Mascherano and Thiago Silva will be able to face Tevez and Cristiano Ronaldo. At all times, they have strong anticipation and forward defense to ensure that Hangeland stays behind to form a defensive depth, which makes it difficult for Manchester United's frontcourt to get the ball.

Manchester United couldn't get the ball in the frontcourt and couldn't pass the ball in the midfield. This was how Manchester United was suppressed. Therefore, Ferguson's replacement of Giggs and Park Ji-sung was not a grudge against Ye Qiu, but was purposeful.

But just like what happened to Ye Qiu in the first half, Ferguson is now also encountering a situation where the players are a little out of control, causing his tactics to be greatly compromised. In addition, Tottenham Hotspur are now following Manchester United's Changes come with changes, making it always difficult for Manchester United to reverse the situation.

After Giggs came on the field, Manchester United's midfield disadvantage became even more obvious because their interception ability was gone!

Cristiano Ronaldo moved to the center, his offensive ability is gone!

Tottenham Hotspur are now in an adjustment period, and Ye Qiu must have realized this, so he has to adjust the team. Manchester United has no way to make more substitutions now, because Ferguson only has one substitution in his hands. And he also has to consider, who should he replace?

Scholes? Carrick? Tevez? Gary Neville? Evra?

And now he is anxious to make substitutions, because Ferguson doesn’t know whether Tottenham Hotspur’s adjustments will be effective. If Tottenham Hotspur’s adjustments fail to have an effect and he makes rash substitutions, it might be the opposite. It's self-defeating.

Therefore, he decided to delay, wait and see how Tottenham Hotspur's adjustments would be, and then adapt accordingly.

However, he immediately walked to the sidelines and shouted at the players, especially Cristiano Ronaldo, asking the Portuguese to stay calm and rational and stop making those stupid and terrible mistakes.

Since his outstanding performance last season, Cristiano Ronaldo's temper has indeed improved this season, and his mentality can easily become irritable. This is indeed not the mentality that a top superstar should have. At least he should be able to respond at critical moments. Make yourself more at peace.

Messi's mentality is very peaceful at this moment, although he will raise his head from time to time and look at the time.

81 minutes and 36 seconds!

But the strange thing is that he doesn't seem to have much anxiety, as if he has no doubt that he and his teammates can score again. That is a very, very strange kind of confidence.

They played very poorly in the first half. They completely forgot that they were Tottenham Hotspur and what they relied on to win the game in the past. But as the second half progressed, as they gradually Taking control of the game, they started to realize it.

The more the game plays, the more confident they become. This is something that cannot be described in words, and there is no way to tell you why, but really, the process of playing the game makes you feel confident.

He is not unfamiliar with this feeling. Every time Tottenham Hotspur perform well, they will feel this way. In Ye Qiu's words, it is a kind of control that you have over the game. To a certain extent, the competition gives you a feeling that makes you believe that you are invincible!

He is very calm, and his Tottenham Hotspur teammates behind him are also working hard to maintain a calm mind.

Many times, when your mind is relaxed, you will discover many details that you missed when you were impatient.

It's like when Messi saw Evra rushing forward and once again moved forward to cooperate with Giggs on the left, and when Giggs wanted to try to transfer the ball to the center again, Hangeland headed the ball After making a clearance, Beckham got the ball and prepared to counterattack. At this time, Messi was thinking, I should pull to the wing to get the ball.

There is no doubt about Evra's strength, but as he keeps running and as the high-intensity competition continues, his physical fitness can no longer guarantee that he can quickly retract after every attack.

Messi pulled to the right and raised his hand to ask for the ball. Beckham passed the ball to his feet. He stopped and ignored Vidic who took the initiative behind him. About 25 meters away from the goal, Messi took the ball horizontally. The ball quickly rushed from the right to the center. When Vidic and Carrick were about to form a circle, Messi passed the ball behind Carrick.

Arshavin appeared behind Carrick, but the Russian did not stick to the ball and passed it diagonally to the left side of the penalty area.

Messi quickly rushed to the back post because he believed that Van Persie, who quickly pulled to the left to get the ball, would be able to find him and pass the ball out. This is a tacit understanding between him and his teammates, as well as the mutual understanding between them. Confidence that was finally built up.

After Van Persie stopped the ball on the left, he immediately passed the ball, and it was indeed Messi who was behind the goal. Moreover, he passed the ball low and flat, because with Messi's height, high ball No advantage at all.

But what everyone didn't expect was that this time Van der Sar decisively threw the ball away and jumped in front of Messi. He blocked Van Persie's pass with one hand and the ball turned in one direction. Sliding outside the penalty area.

Vidic, who was defending with Messi just now, and Carrick, who was guarding Asavin, both wanted to fight for the ball immediately, but just when the two were about to make a clearance, suddenly a white figure emerged from the He rushed up from behind and stopped the ball saved by Van der Sar to his left.

Carrick reacted immediately and made an emergency stop to block the white figure. Even now, he had not seen clearly who it was, but as soon as he made the move, he saw the white figure. The Tottenham Hotspur player dunked the ball to the right with his left foot. It turned out that the move to the left was a fake move.

Carrick was deceived by this fake move, which caused a gap between him and Vidic. After the man dunked the ball, he gently rubbed his right foot and shot a half-high ball, which was achieved smoothly. left side of the goal.

Van der Sar stood up again as soon as he landed. When he saw someone taking a shot, he had already reacted as quickly as possible to save the ball again, but this shot was very accurate. And there was a little distance between him and the goal, so even if he made a save, he still couldn't stop the ball from falling into the goal.

At the moment the ball crossed the goal line, Giggs and Scholes arrived belatedly. They could only see that Cesc Fabregas scored the equalizer goal for Tottenham Hotspur. 3:3!

"Wow!!! Cesc Fabregas! A shot from outside the penalty area from Spanish young midfielder Cesc Fabregas!"

"Tottenham Hotspur finally equalized the score! Oh my God, in the 82nd minute of the second half, Tottenham Hotspur completed a miracle. They scored three goals in a row in the second half and tied the Red Devils with Manchester United!"

Fabregas turned around and rushed to the sidelines with joy, but he did not have time to rush out of the court. He was directly stopped by Robin van Persie, Ashavin and others and fell to the court. Soon, his teammates one after another They rushed forward, and even the players on the sidelines rushed over immediately to celebrate with them.

Everyone surrounded Fabregas in the middle, everyone surrounded this group of players.

"A miracle, this is definitely a great miracle!!"

"Being behind by three goals in the first half, who would have thought that Tottenham Hotspur could turn the situation around in the second half and score three goals in a row to equalize the score again. This is definitely a great miracle that has never happened in the history of the Champions League final. !”

"It is indeed a miracle!" Cruyff also looked very excited, "Tottenham Hotspur's performance in the second half completely demonstrated the strength of this team. They are very good and full of creativity, and they have no Being frustrated by being three goals behind really makes everyone admire the fighting spirit of this team!”

All the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stands stood up, and everyone could clearly see that there were many empty seats in the stands. There must be many Tottenham Hotspur fans because they didn't want to I saw the team being slaughtered in the second half, so I chose to leave the Luzhniki Stadium during the halftime break.

"Let us feel sorry for the fans who left the stadium early, because they missed the greatest game in the history of the Champions League final, and they also missed a great battle that will surely go down in the history of football!"

"Tottenham Hotspur, let us remember this team and this group of young players, they are creating miracles!"

All the Tottenham Hotspur players and all the Tottenham Hotspur employees hugged each other tightly on the sidelines.

When the camera swept over, it was not difficult to find that many of them had tears in their eyes, and in the stands, many fans could not help crying. Such a game and such a reversal were so touching. Got it!

"Head!" Someone in the crowd shouted first.

They saw the Tottenham Hotspur players disperse immediately. Everyone saw Ye Qiu standing not far behind them, nodding at them with a smile, obviously proud of their performance. With pride.

"Head!" The players ran over quickly.

"Well done!" Ye Qiu's eyes were a little red, but he still looked calm. Only the trembling voice when he spoke revealed the excitement in his heart at this moment, "But there are still nearly ten minutes left in the game, and we still have a chance. !”

Ye Qiu's words made all the players realize once again that yes, the game is not over yet. If extra time is added, there are still nearly ten minutes left. They can still score, continue to score, and complete a reversal!

"I'm proud of your performance!" Ye Qiu said loudly, "But I believe you can do better. We don't want a draw, we want to win, and we want everyone to see with their own eyes how we use our My strength makes the superior Manchester United spit out the championship they thought they had swallowed! "

"Goal again!!!"

The players were moved by Ye Qiu's words, and they all huddled together on the sidelines, ignoring the linesman who came over to urge them to get back to the game. "Score another goal!!!" They all shouted together before returning to the game.

At this time, the situation had completely reversed. Tottenham Hotspur had completely taken the upper hand in morale, fighting spirit and situation, while Manchester United's players looked full of frustration, and they had completely lost the high-spirited look they had during the half-time break!
