The Godfather of Football

"Oops, Tottenham's attack is coming again!"

"Evans made a mistake in passing the ball. Messi intercepted the ball, passed it diagonally to Cavani, and ran towards the center!"

"Cavani knocked back, Messi received the ball, Tottenham advanced very quickly, and then passed it to Ribery at the front of the penalty area!"

Ribery was very smart. He chose to dribble the ball diagonally to the left side of the penalty area. Because he saw that Manchester United's players had returned to the penalty area to defend, he chose to go to the wing to open up Manchester United's defensive position and also pull the ball forward. Phil and Ferdinand drew to the left.

To be honest, in one-on-one situations, Manchester United are not worried about letting Rafael deal with Ribery alone.

But as soon as Ribery caught the ball, he immediately passed it diagonally to the front of the penalty area and passed it to Messi on the left side of the top area of ​​the arc. The latter twitched his left foot.

"Curve ball, the ball goes in!!!!!!"

"A curve ball shot from Messi, Tottenham Hotspur's front three, three on four, once again broke through Manchester United's goal. This is simply to completely capture the Old Trafford Stadium, 4:0 La!!!"

Andy Gray was indescribably crazy. He felt that all the blood in his body was activated by Tottenham Hotspur's offensive one after another. He felt that his whole body was now boiling with passion. There is simply an urge to cheer loudly and cheer crazily.

"4:0, four goals, Manchester United, Manchester United, what the hell is going on with you? It's only less than twenty-three minutes of the first half, and you are four goals behind. This is simply about to be defeated by Tottenham. The rhythm of Tottenham’s slaughter!”

Richard Keith also looked very excited on the sidelines, "I can only say that the pressure given by Tottenham Hotspur was indeed too great. Cavani forced Ferdinand and Evans in the front, and the midfielder Ramsey and Vidal are blocking Manchester United's passing routes, plus Ribery and Messi, no matter how the ball is passed, the options are very small. "

"Evans's kick was indeed bad, but we must also consider that if he didn't give it, he would probably be intercepted by Cavani. This is definitely a fatal mistake, and passing the ball forward If it is, whether it is given to Carrick or to Ras Diarra, there is a big risk, and the distance between them is also a bit big.”

Andy Gray nodded, "Yes, if you make a long pass, it basically gives the ball to Tottenham Hotspur, so Evans chose to distribute it to the wing, but no one expected that this pass But it became the beginning of Tottenham's counterattack."

"The current situation is very unfavorable for Manchester United!" Richard Keith also seemed a little helpless. "Four goals behind. Although there is still more than an hour in the game, it is really a huge blow to the morale and fighting spirit of the Manchester United players. ”, and Tottenham Hotspur’s condition is really well adjusted in this game.”

"Look at the players in the midfield of this game, Vidal, Ramsey and Pirlo. It doesn't look like they are cooperating for the first time. They seem to have a tacit understanding and respond to each other's calls in a timely manner. It is obvious They had been training together for a long time before this game, and the communication between them was very smooth!”

"It should be said that Manchester United's strength has indeed declined a lot, especially with Vidic's absence. The problem with the central defender combination of Ferdinand and Evans is too serious, and the midfield lacks someone who can hold the ball. Currently, After the court and backcourt were stretched, there was a lack of effective transition.”

"We have noticed Pirlo's data. He is very relaxed in this game. His passing success rate is 100% so far. He also has one assist. This shows that Pirlo is indeed very good in the midfield. Comfortable, Manchester United did not put pressure on him at this point, which made Tottenham's offense very well organized!"

The live TV camera gave Pirlo a close-up. His scheduling and arrangement in the midfield in this game really showed the strength of a top midfield organizer. Whether in offense or defense, he made great achievements. Outstanding contribution.

"I believe that after this game, AC Milan fans will regret it so much that their intestines are green, because they found out that they gave away such an outstanding midfield organizer for nothing. Pirlo's current football attainments are really He has already reached the level of a master. He lifts the weight with ease, is very relaxed and freehand, and controls the rhythm with every move he makes! ”

Andy Gray spoke highly of Pirlo's performance in this game, especially his passing and grooming in the midfield.

"Actually, I don't think Manchester United has never thought about suppressing Pirlo, but the problem is that it can't be suppressed!" Richard Keith has another opinion of his own, "Look at Pirlo's technical ability. Very good, he is not afraid of you pressing, as long as there is a point for the ball, he can play the ball, and as long as Manchester United presses Pirlo, Ramsey and Vidal will come back, and the full-backs on both wings will also come up, and the two midfielders will come up. The defender followed suit, and Pirlo had too many options to stop him!"

"Indeed, Tottenham Hotspur players are indeed very good in terms of movement and passing and receiving. Not to mention in the Premier League, even in the entire European continent, they are second to none."

"Yes!" Richard Keith said again, "Ye Qiu is a head coach who attaches great importance to one touch of the ball. You see, when Manchester United players press, Tottenham Hotspur's continuous kicks Touching the ball and passing it will quickly move the ball away, making your pressing look more like a useless effort and a waste of physical energy. "

"However, Tottenham Hotspur's ball control is very different from Barcelona's ball control. Barcelona's movement is more based on series, while Tottenham Hotspur's movement is more It focuses on penetration and advancement, so Barcelona has a lot of cross passes and horizontal runs, while Tottenham Hotspur tries more vertical and straight passes.”

As he was talking, he saw Pirlo making another long diagonal pass from outside the center circle, accurately landing on the left side of the Manchester United penalty area. Rafael and Ribery were Fighting for speed, but this time Ribery failed to beat Rafael. The Brazilian right back firmly blocked the advantageous position, got ahead of Ribery, and kicked the ball out of bounds.

"Tottenham Hotspur are attacking very fiercely. I know I have no chance, but I still have to continue to put pressure on you. At least I earned a throw-in!" Andy Gray is analyzing Ribery's current situation. mentality.

"This kind of pressure can sometimes be a great irritant for a team that is lagging behind, or a team that is at a disadvantage, because they will feel very annoyed and aggrieved. In addition, the atmosphere of the fans is stimulating, and it is very exciting. It’s easy to make some irrational moves, let alone perform abnormally.”

I saw Ribery quickly running out of bounds and grabbing the ball, but Alba ran over at this time and signaled that he would serve the out-of-bounds ball, allowing Ribery to run over and prepare to catch the ball.

"Jordi Alba replaced Marcelo in this game. The latter basically played the entire game in this summer's Copa America. So at the beginning of the season, Ye Qiu started Alba for two consecutive games, and we can also Seeing that Alba's performance is indeed very good, Spanish coach Vicente del Bosque was also sitting in the stands in this game, and it is said that he came to inspect Alba."

Richard Keith nodded after listening to Andy Gray's words, "Alba is a player from Barcelona, ​​and later went to Valencia, and then was introduced by Ye Qiu at a low price, but judging from his past performance, it is indeed He is outstanding, small in stature, but has good foot skills, fast speed, and has great impact from the wing. He is a pretty good full-back.”

"Ye Qiu is an interesting head coach. He is very good at bringing in budding players. After bringing them in at a low price, he polishes them a little, performs well, and then sells them. In the past few seasons, Tottenham Hotspur They are all big winners in the transfer market. They make tens of millions of euros in the transfer market almost every season, and they are known as the black shops among black shops!”

After Andy Gray heard this, he laughed, "Didn't some people criticize Ye Qiu before for investing all the money he earned in the transfer market into real estate? Now Manchester United also wants to invest in real estate, around the Old Trafford Stadium. There is a project, but Manchester United has no money, and Glazer can't even come up with transfer money. Where can they invest like Tottenham Hotspur?"

“When I was interviewing the CEO of the Premier League, Scudmore, not long ago, he said something that impressed me very much. He said that if we evaluate the value of the current Premier League teams, Tottenham Tottenham will be the most valuable team, even far more than Manchester United!”

"I couldn't understand this sentence very much, so I asked why. He said that the properties and projects Tottenham Hotspur has invested in in the past few years are all golden chickens that lay eggs. The annual rent is a large amount of income, especially As the Olympics approach, London's overall economy is basically improving, which makes the office rental market and real estate market generally bullish."

"Scudmore expects that by the summer of 2012, Tottenham Hotspur's property will be worth more than Tottenham Hotspur itself, and with a Stratford Stadium, it will be a Very surprising numbers.”

After Andy Gray heard this, he laughed, "I'm not surprised, because Tottenham itself is a golden chicken that lays eggs. You see, in the past six months, they sold Yaya Toure, Cesc Fabregas and David "Silva earned more than 180 million euros, but Ye Qiu only spent 12 million euros on the introduction of Vidal."

"I heard that the remaining money is basically invested in some real estate projects, and in the past few years, Tottenham Hotspur's profits in the transfer market are absolutely astronomical, but I think there is a premise for this, and that is Ye Qiu!”

After hearing this, Richard Keith loudly agreed, "As the head coach and chairman, Ye Qiu, I think he handled it very well. Although the team sells people every year, they always do so at a high price, and the team's The results have always been very stable. Although we performed poorly in the European competition in the past two seasons, we have reached the knockout rounds and won the league championship!”

"And according to Tottenham Hotspur's style of play this season, I think there is absolutely hope. Of course, as long as we maintain this style of play in this game, we are very hopeful that we can win the Champions League again in the next one or two years. And this year I believe their biggest wish is to win four consecutive Premier League championships, which is a history-making four consecutive championships!”

With a four-goal lead, Manchester United was a little frustrated, and Tottenham Hotspur also appropriately slowed down their offense and rhythm.

This is a very effective method of fighting to support fighting. By switching between fast and slow tempo during the game, you can gain yourself a chance to breathe and adjust the players' physical fitness. This method was used by Tottenham in the past. Tottenham have already mastered it in their performances in several seasons.

Pirlo appears to be comfortable in Tottenham Hotspur's midfield and backcourt. In fact, it is not just because of his outstanding personal strength, but because the entire Tottenham Hotspur team has a tacit understanding from front to back. Often he only needs to make a move or shout, and everyone will know his thoughts and intentions.

This is because they have a very strong and excellent ability to understand the game. When to be fast and when to be slow, they are very clear and consistent. This allows Pirlo to adjust the team's rhythm, sort out the midfield, and change the situation. Very relaxed.

As Ye Qiu has always said, controlling the rhythm of a team relies on eleven people, not one person.

As time passes, Manchester United is now gradually pulling Rooney back to the midfield to participate in the battle for control of the game.

Just as the time had just entered forty minutes, the pace of the game quietly became faster again.

When Alba dribbled the ball forward, he failed to get a chance. After cooperating with Ribery, he chose to dribble back and passed the ball back to Pirlo who was trailing behind. The latter then passed the ball back to Kompany. Kompa Ni then knocked back to Pirlo, who then passed the ball to Thiago Silva. The Brazilian assigned it to Alves on the right.

In this continuous pass of Tottenham Hotspur, the ball quickly moved from the left to the right.

Alves dribbled the ball forward. Before Tevez could get close to him, he passed the ball diagonally to find Ramsey, who switched positions with Vidal. He retreated to receive the ball. Behind the Welshman was Carrick, so Ramsey saw After the ball came, he directly knocked Pirlo back without letting the ball linger on his feet, and then chose to run away.

Carrick followed Ramsey and left some areas slightly. Pirlo directly passed the ball to the feet of Messi behind Carrick.

With three players around him, Messi stopped the ball, turned around, and rushed forward with the ball. He made it clear that he wanted to attack Manchester United's entire defense line alone, so Evans and Evra were the first to bear the brunt. They all stared at Messi as if they were facing a formidable enemy, fearing that the Argentinian might accidentally catch another opportunity.

Cavani quickly approached Evans. He was obviously looking everywhere, paying attention to Manchester United's defense. He seemed to be observing to see if he was in an offside position, and judging from his posture, he was trying to After Messi passed the ball, he ran over to catch it, so Ferdinand did not dare to be careless and approached Cavani immediately.

But just when Ferdinand left his position slightly, Rafael was pinned to the left side of the top of the arc by Ribery. The French scarface did not move, and Rafael did not dare to move, and this led to The entire top of Manchester United's penalty area was exposed.

As soon as Messi approached Evans and Evra with the ball, he immediately chose to cross the ball. He saw Vidal rushing up from behind. He stopped the ball in the middle of the top area of ​​the arc and adjusted it. , directly raised his right foot and fired a powerful volley. The ball escaped like a cannonball and flew into the goal behind De Gea like lightning.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!"

"The ball has been scored again!!! Goal from Chilean international Arturo Vidal, 5:0!"

"Tottenham Hotspur really played crazy tonight. Manchester United's entire defense could not keep up with Tottenham Hotspur's rhythm and pace. They were completely led by Tottenham Hotspur. There was no way at all, and we couldn’t even find an effective way to defend the opponent’s attack, and we were beaten again and again!”

The live TV broadcast was replaying in slow motion. Judging from the game process, Vidal's late insertion was indeed a bit sudden, but Manchester United's defense was indeed pulled out of a big gap, and Las Dia La did not immediately return to defense, but waited until Vidal rushed over before he wanted to follow up, but it was already too late.

"Crazy Tottenham Hotspur! This is a crazy team! They completely captured the entire Old Trafford Stadium tonight. They will definitely have a chance to celebrate their welcome in front of the fans of their arch-enemy. Have a great victory!”

Richard Keith was a bit sad, "If we continue to play like this, Tottenham Hotspur will score goals in the second half. I think Tottenham Hotspur's mentality and morale are better now. They play well." Very relaxed and very confident! ”

The game restarted. Manchester United made a mistake when passing the ball. Vidal interfered with Carrick. Pirlo intercepted successfully and handed it to Alba on the wing. The latter quickly advanced and passed to Ramsey.

Ramsey faced Lass Diarra on the outside of the penalty area. He dribbled the ball very calmly and made an easy pass. Messi rushed up from behind and headed the ball back to the penalty area from the right post of the goal.

"Danger!!!!" Andy Gray exclaimed.

But this time, De Gea finally made an outstanding save. He pushed the ball back from Messi in advance, before Cavani, and punched out of the penalty area, resolving the crisis of a goal.

Tottenham Hotspur's onslaught made Manchester United's defense look riddled with holes, and there was a turmoil in front of the goal.

The live TV camera also showed Ferguson on the sidelines, but he saw the Scottish coach sitting in the coaching bench without any expression on his face. He looked very serious. I don’t know what kind of thoughts he had in his mind right now. .

Before the game started, everyone even thought that Manchester United had a great chance of winning, but who could have thought that after the game, before the first half was over, Manchester United had already lost five goals in a row at home.

If the game continued at this pace, Manchester United might even encounter a tragedy similar to the North London derby last season, when Arsenal lost 0:9 at home to Tottenham Hotspur. At that time, Ferguson would become a sinner in the mouths of Manchester United fans, and he might even resign and retire directly.

But fortunately, the referee Howard Webb blew the life-saving whistle and ended the collapsed first half.

This also gave Manchester United a chance to adjust. It depends on what kind of adjustment Ferguson will make in the midfield.
