winning hand

After Rooney was unable to open up the situation in the frontcourt, the balance of the game also slipped towards Tottenham. Rooney is Manchester United's strongest point. He cannot defeat Tottenham's defense here, and it is even less possible elsewhere.

——It's not because Tottenham is better than Rooney in every aspect, but because Tottenham's tactical arrangement is more balanced, and Manchester United has made some local sacrifices in order to strengthen Rooney.

With Rooney as the core, Manchester United's tactics are obviously sliding towards Rooney. Ferguson is very clear about Rooney's problem: his overall view is not false, his small skills are poor, and he basically cannot play a very good role when placed in the attacking midfielder position.

.However, Ferguson moved him to the center position: because Manchester United played 433, their attack never

Starting from the wing, Rooney does not need to back up to get the ball, nor does he need to turn around. His poor back-up skills are covered up. Rooney is in front, and does not need to make too many short passes to coordinate, nor does he need to organize the scene.

, his poor short passing skills have also been concealed. In the past few friendly matches, Rooney has gotten better and better, and his level has become higher and higher.

However, what is the price paid? Because Rooney does not have a very good breakthrough ability with the ball, so Nani needs to get the ball more, but because no one at Manchester United can keep up with his rhythm, Nani often cannot find a response.

point, it is even very likely that he will be kicked down directly by the opponent. If Rooney is in the frontcourt, then the midfielder

There must be a Scholes who can control the rhythm. But Scholes is too old and cannot do too many runs. In order to add vitality to the midfield, the wide players have to keep repeating

Sprinting, running back and forth. These problems determine that Rooney plays well, which is basically achieved by sacrificing the wings.

In fact, such sacrifices have happened before: in the 2006 World Cup, Ribery was treated like an animal and repeatedly attacked on the wing. Even with his peak physical strength, he could only last 75 minutes. What's more, Nani and Ribery

It's different here. Ribery's repeated attacks activate Zidane, who basically never makes mistakes, but Nani's kick activates Rooney!

To expect Rooney to have Zidane's level of consciousness is something you can't do even if you kill him.

High-level players, as well as slightly lower-level players, can play very good football with appropriate tactical packaging. Cristiano Ronaldo can score more than 40 goals in a season at Manchester United, and Rooney's package of goals will not be better.

He is much less. However, a player of Ronaldo's level can also make his teammates look good while playing well. He

Being able to drive the three-headed monster in the frontcourt and play brilliantly together earns praise. But when Rooney plays well, he always makes his teammates look bad. Basically, none of the teammates who cooperate with him are praised.

Praise. Sadly, when they play like this, it always creates the illusion that 'he is saving the team alone'.

Now Manchester United is facing this situation: because Hargreaves is absent, Fletcher is the only one with sufficient defensive ability in the Manchester United midfielder, and it is already difficult to defend against Di Maria's constant intrusion harassment, and Coentrao.

, Yaya Toure repeatedly intervened, and their defense had to shrink in order to block Tottenham's attack. Moreover, because of too much running on the two wings, their physical strength was also very high. Manchester United is now

They can't resist Tottenham, and as time goes by, they will become even more unable to resist.

Looking at Coentrao opposite, Nani is also a little envious: he does not think that Li Bin's tactical ability is better than Ferguson. As a Manchester United player, he still admires Ferguson very much. However, he can see that Coentrao

When playing football, there are more teammates to cover and more details. Li Bin designed tactics for Coentrao. He did not sacrifice other players in order to highlight everyone or extremely strengthen one person.

For his own benefit, he managed to make a bowl of water even.

And this approach is enough to make Nani envious.

The way Tottenham's players play is to ensure that everyone has a little bit of offensive power. None of them has a tactical status like Rooney and can make sacrifices for himself as a team. However, each of them

They all made some sacrifices and received help. This way of playing is better than Manchester United.

Manchester United must have made a mistake somewhere? But where did they go wrong?

Nani didn't understand, but Li Bin understood Ferguson's mistake very well: Ferguson got a lot of rewards for using Ronaldo. From then on, he mistakenly thought that he would get enough rewards by trying his best to build a top player. It's a pity.

The only thing is that Rooney does not have the ability of Cristiano Ronaldo to feed back the whole team. Compared with the top players, there is still a big gap between him and top players. Even if this is already his peak period, he cannot achieve the effect that Ferguson wants at all.

Li Bin knows very well that the requirements for Ronaldo are too high. Rooney can't do it, and none of the Tottenham players can do it. Not to mention that it can't be done now, it will be difficult to do it in the future, even if it is

At his peak, Bale could not help the whole team - so in my memory, Tottenham's results have always been poor. Suarez, at his peak, was able to help the whole team, but he did so at the expense of himself.

. It takes a very high level for one person to lead the whole team. It can be said to be the watershed for the world's footballer. Who in Tottenham has that ability now? Fortunately, Tottenham players can't do the same as Rooney.

To package them into the world's top strength, Li Bin did not think about packaging them, he just wanted them to insist on playing overall football. This is the difference between him and Ferguson.

Ferguson is now dazzled by the transfer victory of Ronaldo for a high price. He believes that Rooney can package it. Li Bin also believes that Ferguson can do it. However, in this way, Manchester United's reconstruction will be

We've taken a detour.

On the court, the confrontation between the two teams also intensified. After Manchester United's lineup began to retreat, Tottenham's attack came as promised.

"Manchester United has now given up the offensive, and Tottenham has gained the upper hand. However, this should have been expected by Manchester United. They have adjusted three players in the backcourt. Compared with what they originally wanted to see,

It depends on whether your defensive ability can withstand the opponent's attack."

The commentator's conclusion was correct. In this game, Ferguson really had the attitude of giving it a try. After losing Cristiano Ronaldo, he was also aware of Vidic's decline. He wanted to know whether Evans could make up for it.

First, whether Manchester United's defense can regain some flexibility.

Tottenham was the touchstone he chose for Manchester United.

Yaya Toure in the midfield initiated the first step of the attack. When he got the ball, he immediately passed the ball to the left, and then inserted himself towards the frontcourt. In his

Next to him, Gustavo immediately made up for it, and in the backcourt, Coentrao dribbled the ball past half-court, passed the ball forward to Di Maria, and made up for the midfielder in the middle.

Location.

The change in the position of the defender allows Tottenham to have a better attack on the left side. They can let Coentrao participate in the midfield rotation, freeing up manpower for the frontcourt attack line. He rushed forward with the ball.

Di Maria and Yaya Toure gradually moved closer, and Raul in the frontcourt also withdrew at the same time. The three of them formed an attacking triangle on the left, and in the midfield, Tottenham Hotspur

The defensive power has not dropped much, and this rotation has greatly increased Tottenham's strength.

Di Maria dribbled the ball and wanted to rush through the middle, but Fletcher and Carrick were in good positions, and he did not find the opportunity immediately. However, this made Di Maria too hesitant, and he kicked it

The ball was given to Raul next to him, and he ran forward and rolled it over from the baseline on the left wing. He knew that Raul could lead this attack, and what he needed to do was to distance himself and cooperate well.

As the former captain of Real Madrid, Raul is very familiar with how to combine the wings and the center to form an offensive. He has played on the wing and in the center, and has cooperated with various top wingers. He is very experienced and knows

How to bring out the advantages of his teammates and guide this attack from the rib position? He can definitely do a good job.

Manchester United's recovery was very timely. Not only the two defensive midfielders and three defenders, but also Park Ji-sung had recovered into the penalty area. Seven people gathered in the penalty area to defend, making it difficult for Tottenham's attack.

Raul took the ball, looked at the situation, and rushed towards the center. Fletcher came over immediately to steal, but Raul immediately leaned on him and did not give him any chance.

Next to Letcher, Carrick also rushed over. The two wanted to form a pincer attack to stop Raul.

However, Raul missed the ball and kicked it to Yaya Toure behind him. Yaya Toure immediately stepped in from the right side of Raul, and Park Ji-sung also made up for it in front of him, trying to stop him.

Long shot attempt. He had to come over because Ferdinand and Evra had been attracted by Cavani who was running to the right. At this time, he was the only candidate who could come over to organize!

But Yaya Toure didn't choose to take a long shot. He picked the ball to the left!

The cooperation between Raul and Yaya Toure in the middle has reduced the pressure on Di Maria a lot on the left. Because Raul and Yaya Toure attracted a lot of Manchester United's defensive power, Di Maria only had

Evans and O'Shea were watching him. Yaya Toure passed the ball in time, and Di Maria immediately stepped forward to meet him. O'Shea followed too closely, preventing Di Maria from going offside.

, he received the ball, and under the attack of two people, he kicked the ball toward the center!

Cavani's movement attracted the attention of Ferdinand and Carrick who were returning to defense. During the entire passing process, Ferdinand did not play any role. The disconnection of the back line made Raul at the front almost untouched.

If there was any obstruction, he rushed in front of the football. He stood on the line of the small penalty area, faced the ball rolling on the ground, and directly kicked the ball up!

Foster, who was guarding the goal, never thought that Tottenham would penetrate into Manchester United's defense like this. Manchester United's layered defense was forcibly divided into three parts by the cooperation of the four Tottenham players. Kawa

Ni's involvement, Di Maria's breakthrough and Raul's movement were all in full effect.

And he never expected that Raul could kick such a beautiful shot, so close to the goal, but this shot went straight to the crossbar of the goal. He originally thought it must be a ground ball.

, at this time, his preparation for taking off was insufficient and he was simply not good enough to catch the ball!

He still jumped up, but he watched the football slide over his fingers. Foster watched in pain as the football slid against the crossbar and into the goal. Tottenham took the lead 1-0. Raul scored for Tottenham.

Scored the first goal of the new season!

"Tottenham scored! Leading 1-0, Raul scored the goal for Tottenham! Beautiful penetration, Tottenham used a ground ball attack to directly break the door of Manchester United! Manchester United paid the price for their youth

, at critical moments, veterans still play a greater role!"
