Chapter 522

Some people say that Tottenham's attack is like flowing water, around high places, flowing to low-lying, and gathering more and more.

Ferguson made adjustments to the team in the second half, and he was obviously dissatisfied with the game, so he wanted to further strengthen the team's offense and use offense to resolve the team's defensive weaknesses. This is his choice.

You should know that in a football game, every choice the head coach makes has two sides and there will be risks.

If it was also in this half, I believe that a lot of head coaches would choose to defend and replace the defender, but Ferguson chose to strengthen the offense. There is no way to say which choice is better or which choice is worse.

Berbatov replaced Park Ji-sung, but Ferguson still dared not touch Cristiano Ronaldo, and then Giggs replaced Anderson. Ferguson made two consecutive substitution adjustments during the break, obviously he wanted to give it a try.

After the start of the second half, Manchester United's offensive was a bit fierce. Ye Qiu immediately replaced David Silva with Lucas, pushed Beckham up and played the central defender, and partnered with Fabregas again, and Lucas was in the rear.

Beckham and Farbregas, the central-range team that Tottenham Hotspur achieved a half-season leap two years ago has now reappeared, causing many Tottenham Hotspur fans to scream.

Originally, in Ye Qiu's eyes, Mascherano and Yaya Toure were left behind and Lucas was sold, but later as Mascherano went away from Barcelona, ​​Ye Qiu chose to promote Yaya Toure and Lucas. Brazil's midfielder got more opportunities to perform this season, and his defensive strength steadily improved. He sat in the backcourt and Tottenham Hotspur's defense immediately stabilized in front of the defense line.

Beckham, Fabregas, Lucas, Tottenham, this midfielder in the second half still has a certain physical advantage in front of Manchester United's midfield, especially considering that the team is still leading by three goals.

Ye Qiu kept calling on players to relax their mindset during the break, but not to be careless, because Manchester United has never lacked classic cases of reversals, and he does not want to become a victim of the next Luzhniki miracle.

As defense became firm, Tottenham Hotspurs won back possession.

One thing has proved, that is, when Berbatov and Cristiano Ronaldo were on the court at the same time, Manchester United's offense was indeed quite threatening, but their front-court pressing was also the worst, because except for one Tevez, almost all of them used eye defense, and coupled with poor physical fitness and condition, the strength of the front-court pressing can be imagined.

In the current football tactical system, if the front court does not put enough pressure on the opponent, the pressure in the middle and back court will increase exponentially.

In the 73rd minute of the game, it was from the midfield and backcourt again. Thiago Silva passed the ball with a long pass, and Cavani crossed Evra in the frontcourt and rushed forward.

As early as when Ye Qiu was coaching Ajax and Chelsea, he once said that the full-back attack is a double-edged sword. It must be based on one premise, that is, your team has strong enough control. Otherwise, if the full-back inserts the attack, the defensive loopholes left behind will be extremely huge.

Ye Qiu attaches importance to the midfield, but the reason is very simple. The midfield is the source of control of the team. If you lose the midfield, a team will lose the minimum control.

In Ye Qiu's previous life, he saw Real Madrid in the second phase of the Galaxy Battleship. From the Pellegrini period to the Mourinho period, he once thought about a question, that is, why Real Madrid's game always seems to be indescribable, that is, you clearly think that they are full of stars and should be very strong, but they never show enough on the court, which makes people feel convincing in the game?

Now he understands, because the midfielder

Real Madrid's strength is strength in the frontcourt. Pellegrini's tactics were to quickly pass the midfield and hand the ball to the frontcourt players in the shortest time, exerting the personal abilities of the frontcourt players, and playing offensive cooperation.

During the reign of Mourinho, he claimed to attack quickly and defend closely. In fact, this is a contradiction in itself, but why can this be achieved?

Because I missed the midfield directly, either attack or defend, lacking buffer zone

Why is Xavi Alonso so important to Real Madrid?

The reason is very simple. His precise long pass is an important core element for attacking quickly and defending closely. He can ensure that the team does not need to pass the ball directly to the frontcourt without going through the midfield.

Such tactical style does not mean that it has no effect at all, because its existence proves that it has its own reason and value. Therefore, Real Madrid can play a refreshing offensive football when encountering a weak team. Once the game is not smooth or encounters a strong opponent, they will suffer a lot because they lack a midfielder.

In Real Madrid's entire set of tactics, whether from Pellegrini or Mourinho, they are almost all heavy at both ends and light at the middle. This is completely a deformity in the current football world. The reason is very simple. The superstar policy is to ensure the appearance of superstars.

The current football tactics are to integrate, with the midfield as the center, and everything is around the midfield. Therefore, the forward retreats and the defender presses forward, and they are all moving towards the midfield. The reason is very simple. Only when five fingers are clenched into fists can they be strong, and only when they are dispersed can they be easily broken by each one. The same is true for football tactics. The formation must be kept compact to be strong, and if it is loose, it will be done.

Manchester United's current tactical formation is actually a bit like Real Madrid's route, with fast attack and close defense. Cristiano Ronaldo, Tevez and others rushed and ran in the frontcourt, while the backcourt is based on stable defense. Carrick is equivalent to Xavi Alonso. The difference is that Manchester United also has Giggs, Scholes, Anderson, who performed well this season, and Hargreaves and others who performed well last season, can cover up this problem to the greatest extent.

But when you are in poor condition, when your players are not physically stable, and when you do not have enough control over the game, all your problems and shortcomings will be completely exposed without leaving any trace.

So when Evra pressed forward, Thiago Silva made a long pass, Cavani took the ball very easily after the frontcourt and rushed forward on the right.

Vidic posted it as soon as possible, but Messi was very close to him and was swimming behind him, while Ferdinand rushed over as soon as possible, preparing to protect Vidic behind him and mark Messi.

Cavani entered Manchester United's 30-meter area and beat Vidic before Vidic. Messi quickly inserted it and received the ball behind Vidic. He took the ball with a fake move and had to pass Ferdinand. The English central defender had no choice. In front of Messi, who was so powerful that he could not resist it, but he could not watch him pass through his defense zone, so he hugged Messi down from behind.

The referee blew the whistle without hesitation, a tactical foul, a red card, and a direct free kick

This was almost no controversial penalty, and even Manchester United players did not protest, but just put pressure on the referee symbolically because they knew very well that this was Ferdinand's choice.

From the perspective of position, this is the free throw area that Gareth Bale is best at, but the Welsh did not play in this game, and Beckham stood in front of the free throw point without permission.

No one knows how the Manchester United fans at Old Trafford are feeling at this moment, and no one knows whether they will resent Beckham, but the Englishman stood in front of the free throw point without any hesitation, swinging all his thoughts out. After hearing the referee's whistle, he rushed forward quickly and swung his right foot and directly kicked the iconic full moon scimitar.

The ball came into the net with a net flaw

All Manchester United fans felt incredible and were obviously shocked by Tottenham's attack.

A big score win against Real Madrid, a big score win against Sporting Lisbon, and now a four-goal away goal win against Manchester United. What does this mean?

This is definitely a concept of defending the Champions League

"Ye Qiu is too familiar with Ferguson and Manchester United. He has been very confident in his smog bomb from the beginning and used Gareth Bale to confuse Ferguson, making Ferguson think that Ye Qiu is going to use him in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, but Ye Qiu starts with Ribery, which is definitely beyond Ferguson's expectations."

"Gareth Bale and Ribery are two completely different types of players. The former is a typical British winger, while the latter is a mainland winger. The former goes straight and faces head-on. The latter pays more attention to changing speeds and directions. Moreover, Ribery is small and has a delicate skill, and can still perform very well in a narrow range."

"Ferguson was fooled, Osheim, Vidic, Ferdinand, three tall players were in the back line, but they were facing two short players, Ribery and Messi. In this game, Ye Qiu had an interesting change, which was to transfer Cavani to the right and pull the original main right winger Messi to the middle to get the ball, which was quite deadly."

"In Manchester United's entire defensive system, almost no one can block Messi, and letting him get the ball between the central defender and the midfielder is not equivalent to letting Tottenham Hotspur take a knife on his neck? In addition, Cavani grabbed Evra on the left, Manchester United played very badly throughout the game, just like his hands and feet were tied up, and it was difficult to play at the most comfortable pace. Instead, Tottenham Hotspur broke through the defense line again and again."

Andy Gray has seen it clearly now. Physical fitness is one aspect, but more importantly, the tactical changes and adjustments of Tottenham Hotspur in this game. Moreover, this is definitely a tactical innovation in midfield adjustment that is not inferior to Luzhniki Miracle. After Ye Qiu pulled Messi to the middle lane, he played a greater tactical role.

"Messi is in the middle, although there are people around him, Messi's hand-held ball is very calm and he has almost never conceded the ball. This makes Tottenham Hotspur have a very stable ball-taking point in the frontcourt, and the players around him play more reassuringly and smoother."

"Tottenham Hotspur today has indeed shown the domineering and strength of the champion team, and the confidence and calmness of this team are also impressive. This is indeed a team with a very championship appearance."

After leading four goals, it is almost impossible to determine that Tottenham Hotspur reached the final early, and there is no need to play in the second leg, because it is almost impossible for Manchester United to reverse the four-goal in Tottenham Hotspur's stadium.

With the referee's whistle, the focus of this pre-match game was finally presented to the world with a score result that almost no one could imagine, even a gambling company could not imagine.

After defeating Manchester United for four goals away, Tottenham Hotspur showed its strong offensive power, and at the same time made everyone realize that this team is conquering one strong opponent after another and is stepping towards the legendary road of defending the title.

Ferguson did not walk back to the coach's seat in the entire second half. He always stood in the command area. After the whistle sounded at the end of the game, he was obviously mentally prepared for the result, so he seemed a little calm and walked towards the visiting team's head coach's command area and reached out to Ye Qiu.

"Although I'm not very willing, I still have to congratulate you." If the expression is calm, then the tone will be very sour.

It's sour, just like unripe bayberry, making people's teeth fall off.

"Thank you" Ye Qiu shook hands with a smile.

After a pause, he quickly laughed and said, "You will tell me congratulations again soon."

Ferguson is also a smart person. He is used to fighting with Ye Qiu, so he guessed what Ye Qiu meant at once. He was talking about the league championship.

"This may not be true." Ferguson also smiled.

With four rounds left in the Premier League, Manchester United's schedule is to play Middlesbrough away, Manchester City at home, Arsenal at home and Hul City away, and Tottenham Hotspur's schedule is not easy, they are playing West Bromwich away, Everton away, Manchester City at home, and Liverpool away, are all difficult opponents

From the schedule, Manchester United is indeed much more favorable, because Manchester United's only two strong opponents are Manchester City and Arsenal, but they are both fighting at home, and now Ferguson can devote himself to the league.

But Tottenham Hotspur is different, because the last round of the Premier League this season will be on the afternoon of May 24, and the Champions League final is on the evening of May 27, Tottenham Hotspur will definitely be disturbed, and the opponent in the last round is Liverpool, Benitez has always been Ye Qiu's most headache-inducing object.

Ferguson is not a fool either. The reason why he tried his best to fight the 34th round of the league and shortened his points to one point was because he bet on the last schedule, Tottenham Hotspur would lose points again. But he really didn't expect that Ye Qiu would really dare to fight and compete for the Champions League with all his might.

But it still has to be said that from the perspective of the cards, Tottenham Hotspur's Champions League finals have a great chance of winning, whether it encounters Barcelona or Chelsea, but if it is affected by the league, then I really don't know.

"Sometimes, people are too greedy, it's not a good thing." Ferguson smiled and hit Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu said, "But I have always looked down on those who have no pursuits, just like." Ye Qiu's hand was pointing around, but always pointed at Ferguson, and the answer was self-evident.

Ferguson smiled and said, "Do I have any pursuit? You will know this summer. Next season, I will definitely let you see a brand new and different Manchester United team. I want to win another Champions League."

In the last sentence, Ferguson showed an extremely strong desire. He even said in private that as long as he wins another Champions League, he can retire with peace of mind.

In fact, if it weren't for Tottenham Hotspur's emergence last season and intercepting Ferguson in the Champions League final, Manchester United's strength last season swept through other Europa League giants and won the Champions League, there would be almost no suspense.

But it is precisely because of the appearance of Tottenham Hotspur that Ferguson has further seen the team's weaknesses and shortcomings. He has also thought of a way to reorganize the team's offensive and defensive system, so this time he is very confident and must strive to have strong competitiveness in the Champions League next season.

The reason is simple. Ferdinand will be 31 years old next season, and Vidic will be twenty-eight. Ferguson himself has no idea how long this central defender combination can maintain its peak state. Once these two players go downhill, Manchester United will surely usher in a new round of turmoil and uneasiness.

There was Stam when the team won the triple-tall championship, but after Stam left, Manchester United's central defender had never been stable. Finally, he got Ferdinand Garvedic's central defender combination. Ferguson naturally hoped to win more team honors while this central defender combination still maintained its top strength.

Even if we don't hesitate to sell the top superstar in the team again, because only in this way can Manchester United have a chance to be reborn

"This old guy is really old and has a strong fighting spirit." Roland and Ferguson have a good relationship, and there is no taboo to speak. He doesn't dare to talk about people behind his back until Ferguson leaves. Even if Ferguson is there, he dares to say it.

Of course, this is not a bad thing

"Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer has been decided, but Ferguson seems to have made big moves, and I always feel that he shouldn't leave Berbatov," said Ye Qiu.

Ferguson values ​​Berbatov mainly because the Bulgarian striker took the ball and turned around in the frontcourt, with the purpose of exerting the strength of Cristiano Ronaldo. In fact, Cristiano Ronaldo has been very strong in the past three seasons, proving that Ferguson's strategy is successful.

But Berbatov fell out of favor this season because he was too lazy in the frontcourt and Ferguson could not tolerate him.

"I heard that Ferguson has reached an agreement with Lyon to introduce the French genius forward Benzema," said Roland.

Ye Qiu, the player Benzema, has also noticed it and De Visel has also recommended it, but Lyon is a well-known black store. As the shopkeeper of another black store, Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu doesn't like being black-tongued, so he respects Benzema for being unrestrained.

And Ye Qiu has always had a feeling that Benzema is undoubtedly a genius. It can even be said that in addition to speed and explosive power, he really has the shadow of Ronaldo, but Ye Qiu doesn't like Benzema very much because he is too expensive.
