Chapter 667
During the intermission, a burst of music was played at Old Trafford Stadium, and some bands and dance troupes soon appeared in the stadium. They performed on the stadium to liven up the atmosphere for the fans on the scene.
Since Tottenham Hotspur took the lead in starting home operations and achieved quite good results, many teams in the Premier League have followed suit, such as Manchester United and Arsenal. They are also inviting the band to perform pre-match, during and after-match performances, which can not only activate the home atmosphere, but also please fans.
But at this moment, the band's explosive performance with obvious joy seemed more like a gloating to the Red Devils fans on the scene, because the big red scoreboard at Old Trafford Stadium showed a shocking number.
No one expected that the first half of the game would be such a one-sided situation. Tottenham Hotspur was able to slap the Red Devils and Manchester United in just 45 minutes at Old Trafford. This was definitely a shocking performance.
There were many Red Devils fans in the stands that couldn't help crying while covering their faces, but there were also many fans who obviously couldn't stand it and chose to leave their seats. I don't know if they would appear in the stands at Old Trafford Stadium again in the second half.
After Ye Qiu explained some things to the substitute player, he walked into the player channel at Old Trafford Stadium.
The Red Devils fans in the stands at the top of the passage were not polite to him, and gave him ruthless booing. Some even wanted to spit at him, but were soon controlled by the police who maintained order on the scene.
Ye Qiu walked into the player passage and passed the home team's locker room soon. Even with the door closed, he could hear the furious Ferguson's thunder coming from the home team's locker room, and there should be even the sound of falling things. It is estimated that the Scottish coach must have the urge to demolish the entire Old Trafford Stadium at this moment.
To be honest, Ye Qiu was also surprised to play in this way in the first half. His original guess was to take the lead in the first half, but who would have thought that the team would be smoother and better, especially the team's midfield operation and the oppression of the midfield and frontcourt made Manchester United seem very uncomfortable.
Ye Qiu got the data. In this game, Tottenham Hotspur players have many running distances that exceed Manchester United players at the same position. Even veteran Pirlo has a running distance of more than Las Diyala and Carrick, not to mention iron-pulsed players like Ramsey, Cavani and Vidal.
Some people say that opportunities on the football field are all produced, and Ye Qiu has always believed in this.
In fact, Manchester United's problems have always existed. They tried to play the 433 tactic before, but with Sneijder's state sluggish, Lars Dyyala's problems continued, which caused problems in Ferguson's entire midfield operation. Benzema, who had a trident in the frontcourt, seemed to have encountered a bottleneck in development, so Ferguson tried to change the lineup.
Nani's performance has been very ups and downs. When he performs well, he can show the level of a first-class or even top winger. Unfortunately, he often performs poorly, and even basically at some critical moments, it is difficult for him to be satisfied. This is a reason why Nani is not popular or popular now.
Ye Qiu had a feeling that Ferguson probably had been hesitating and exploring.
Just as Wenger said, he saw from Jack Wilshere a brand new type of playing style after English players were integrated into the European continent's tactical system. But in fact, how to formulate such a playing style and how to organize the team around Wilshere, Wenger himself was also confused.
Strictly speaking, Ferguson's confusion should start when Peron joined. The purpose of introducing Peron was to introduce mainland tactical play and start controlling the ball. After all, before Peron arrived, although Manchester United won the triple crown, he was indeed at a loss in the European game and was terrified.
But Peron's frustration at Manchester United, or it should be said that this has nothing to do with Peron's own strength, but was caused by some internal contradictions within Manchester United's team, but it did make Ferguson's exploration frustrated.
Looking at the players introduced by Ferguson in the past few years, there are successes and failures. Of course, the most successful ones are Cristiano Ronaldo, Tevez, Rooney, Carrick and others. It is believed that many people are confused about some of Ferguson's signings or the transformation of players.
For example, Nani and Anderson, and similar to Valencia and Evans.
Nani was introduced as the label of a future top winger, while Anderson played as a midfielder and was called Ronaldinho II. It can be seen that the technical characteristics of these two players are. However, after coming to Manchester United, Ferguson transformed them, and Anderson became such a player who could not go up and down, and there was no breakthrough at all.
The training of Nani can only be said to be a failure, because since joining Manchester United in 2007, Nani has played more than 30 games in almost every season, whether in the league or the cup, with at least 31 of them. It can be said that Ferguson attaches much more importance to and cultivates Nani than other young rookies.
But Nani has never played as a top player for so many years. Although she performed well last season, she was the best player in Manchester United and was selected into the best team in the Premier League, Nani has not completed her transformation, and he has not been able to successfully make himself a top star, let alone a top superstar.
Some people say that Manchester United's frontcourt trident, Tevez, Rooney and Benzema decided Manchester United's lower limit, while Nani's performance determined Manchester United's upper limit, which is indeed interesting.
In addition, Valencia and Evans also have problems.
Sometimes Ye Qiu really feels that as a giant team, players like Valencia and Nani are more like being substitutes, and you can't rely on them to be the main players. In Ye Qiu's rating, they are not even higher than Di Maria and Sanchez, let alone top stars such as Gareth Bale, Ribery, Messi, Robben and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Of course, Ye Qiu didn't think Nani or Valencia and others had no strength, but felt that they were still a little short of the strength requirements of the main players who were positioned as giant teams like Manchester United, who were positioned as major players, were a little short of the strength requirements of Manchester United.
And if you want to talk about potential, Nani is now twenty-five years old and is about to be twenty-six. If he really has any potential, he should have shown it a long time ago. Valencia is twenty-six, and it can basically be determined that the upper limit of the two of their players is almost the same.
Evans, who is 23 years old this year, is understandable as a central defender, but at the age of 23, if he doesn't play again in the next two years, the player will basically be ruined.
Perhaps Ye Qiu is not incomprehensible about Manchester United's current dilemma. The Glazer family forcibly acquired Manchester United through debt. Although it was finally successful and through their operations, Manchester United's market value has soared, but the heavy debt burden has made Manchester United almost breathless.
Now, Ferguson has to be a signing player, even the salary structure of the players must be carefully considered, which shows how serious the financial situation of Manchester United is. Especially after the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, the Glazer family, as the hardest hit area, can almost be said to be the first to bear the brunt. It is estimated that Ferguson sold Cristiano Ronaldo and was able to introduce Rooney. It is unknown how much it cost to do.
When the team was in a financial crisis, Manchester United's signings were basically based on quality and low prices, but in many cases, low prices do not necessarily have good quality and good things. You get what you pay for. This world is fair.
During the intermission, Ferguson made two substitutions.
Once, Fletcher replaced Las Dyara who already had a yellow card. The French midfielder had a bad temper. Ferguson was obviously worried that he would lose control in the second half, so he replaced him in advance. However, from Las Dyara's face sitting on the bench, he probably would have to continue making trouble next.
This is why Ye Qiu doesn't like to introduce players with this personality
Another substitution was that Sneider replaced Nani and returned to the 433 tactical system. Tevez, Benzema and Rooney played the frontcourt trident, Fletcher, Sneider and Carrick formed three midfielders, and the defense line remained unchanged.
Manchester United's adjustment has both defensive purposes and counterattack. After all, in the first half, the team exposed that Carrick alone could not support the team's counterattack. Therefore, Ferguson must play another player to share Carrick's offensive responsibilities, that is, Sneider, and the Dutch's defensive ability is also good.
You know, Sneider was a typical Dutch midfielder known for his comprehensiveness back then.
After the second half of the game began, both sides played relatively stable.
Tottenham Hotspur has already led by five goals. Ye Qiu asked the players to remain vigilant during the break and not be careless at all, especially against the possible counterattacks from Manchester United in the second half.
Manchester United used the frontcourt trident to oppress Tottenham's defense line, disrupting Tottenham's midfield and backcourt in order to get some opportunities, but Tottenham's backcourt shots were cleaner, and began to go more on two sides to complete the promotion, and even directly passed the front foot.
The game time did not slow down due to the deadlock between the two sides, and it still passed very quickly. It took 60 minutes soon. One-third of the time had passed in the second half, but Manchester United still failed to find an effective opportunity to create a threat, which made Manchester United players look a little impatient.
During an attack, Rooney took the ball with her back, received Sneider's pass, and turned around and shot directly.
Although the shooting angle was right, it was too far away from the goal. Cech hugged the ball steadily and ran forward quickly. At the front of the penalty area, he directly kicked the ball forward with a big foot.
At this time, Tottenham Hotspur's entire midfield and frontcourt were rushing forward. Vidal judged the landing point of the ball, seized the advantageous position, blocked Carrick behind him, jumped high, and headed the ball.
The ball hit Vidal's head and landed on the outside of the penalty area. Cavani blocked Evans with his body. The latter always had problems with the landing point of the high ball. The Uruguayan stopped the ball directly to Messi nearby. He turned around and rushed forward. Messi directly pushed the ball forward, forming a straight pass, tearing open Manchester United's defense line.
"Come on, Tottenham Hotspur's straight pass, single shot"
Just as Andy Grey finished speaking, he saw Ferdinand coming out from the stalker. When he was about to stop Cavani, he chose to fall to the ground and put the shovel and tackle the ball from behind, but did not scoop the ball. Instead, he shoveled Cavani to the top of the arc of the penalty area, while the Uruguayan fell into the penalty area.
"Is it a penalty?" Andy Gray said first, but soon he noticed that when referee Howard Webber ran over, Ferdinand obviously wanted to rush forward to defend himself, but Webber waved his hand at him, "It was a red card, tackle behind the back, and it was a one-on-one opportunity. The red card was indisputable, and Webber said that this was not a penalty kick, but a direct free kick opportunity at the top of the arc."
After listening to the side, Richard O'Kiss shook his head and said, "This time it was a tackle behind the back, but Cavani was obviously a one-on-one player. The red card cannot be escaped. Ferdinand was also unlucky this time and took the blame for Evans. If he didn't turn around and rush forward so easily, Ferdinand wouldn't need to be so embarrassed at all."
Perhaps, this confirms the saying: I am not afraid of opponents like gods, but I am afraid of teammates like pigs.
"Ferguson was also very angry on the sidelines. He really had reasons for being unhappy, because Manchester United is now behind five goals at home, and the referee sent off Manchester United's players with a red card. Isn't this going to cause Manchester United to suffer a catastrophe? And Ferguson has used two substitutions, and he still wants to use the last one?"
Richard Keith sighed and said with a wry smile: "Now Manchester United has no trustworthy central defender at all. O'Shea and Brown left the team, with only one Smalin left, but like Evans, he may not be able to stop Tottenham Hotspur's group of offensive players, and whether the last substitution is now is still worth considering
There are still half an hour before the game time, and some unexpected problems may arise anytime and anywhere. If all the substitutions are used now, if some players collapse in physical fitness or suffer injuries, then wouldn’t Manchester United play the game with two fewer people?
"Tottenham Hotspur got a good set-piece opportunity in the frontcourt position. Who will take the penalty? Will Pirlo?"
"Pirlo is indeed a top free kick expert. Tottenham Hotspur is indeed Pirlo to take the penalty. Let's see how the quality of Pirlo's free kick is this time. This is also the first time he has taken a free kick since he came to the Premier League."
"Manchester United lined up a wall of people, and De Gea was also facing a great enemy. This young player encountered the most painful nightmare in his life today. I hope he can get out of the shadow quickly after this game."
"The referee told Pirlo that you have to wait until I blow the whistle before I can get the free throw. Pirlo agreed.
"Come on, Weber blows the whistle, Pirlo's free throw... The ball is in."
"0 Pirlo scored a wonderful direct free kick, a typical Pirlo-style elevator ball, pierced through De Gea's goal, 0 Tottenham Hotspur temporarily led the Red Devils Manchester United away score in a big away game
After scoring the goal, Tottenham Hotspur players rushed to the sidelines quickly. A group of players seemed very excited and hugged each other on the sidelines. They felt that their condition was really good tonight, and they seemed to have endless strength to use. They still wanted to continue to strive for goals and continue to suppress Manchester United.
"This is definitely a shameful night for the Red Devils Manchester United, even more humiliating than they were reversed by Tottenham Hotspur in the half at Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, because they were almost powerless to fight back by Tottenham Hotspur at their Old Trafford Stadium."
"Ferguson was obviously mad at the performance of the players. He fell behind six goals and now lost the main central defender Ferdinand. This is definitely a nightmare for Manchester United. Now Ferguson should find a way to stabilize the team's defense as soon as possible."
"It seems like Ferguson is going to make the last substitution. He decided to replace Smarin and replace Benzema. This is an obvious signal. The only purpose of all the remaining games in Manchester United is to defend. They cannot give a shameful score by Tottenham Hotspur at their home court."
"The biggest loss score in Manchester United's history is 0 three times, in the League One in 19 and 1930, and in the League Two in 1931, both lost to their opponents at home 07. In the past eighty years of history, Manchester United has never lost such a shame."
"In the history of the Premier League, Manchester United suffered 0 bloodbaths in Newcastle in 1996, and Chelsea suffered 0 bloodbaths in 1999, but both games were away, but now Manchester United has allowed Tottenham Hotspur to score six goals at its home court, which will undoubtedly refresh Manchester United's Premier League shame list.
"All players who will play for Manchester United will appear on this shameful list tonight, and they should be responsible for their poor performances."
"The Red Devils fans at the scene were very dissatisfied and were booing their team. They may be very dissatisfied with their team's performance, but we must also admit that there is indeed a lot of accidentality in playing such a high score, especially in this strong dialogue. I believe that even Ye Qiu would not have such an idea before the game."
After listening to Andy Grey's words, Richard Keith sighed, "Tottenham Hotspur is still continuing to strengthen its offense. For this game, we can only say that Tottenham Hotspur's performance is too good and excellent, especially their high-intensity pressure in the midfield and frontcourt, and their offense and defensive transition that quickly forms a counterattack after intercepting the ball, which is indeed impressive."
"This Tottenham Hotspur has played more impact and faster than in the past few years, but they have not become rough because of this. On the contrary, while improving the impact and offensive speed, they also retain their passing stability and teamwork ability, and often have delicate technical highlights. This is very difficult to do."
