Chapter 127, The Last Applause

If Tottenham were scattered in the first half, then Tottenham in the second half became scattered.

The whole team lacked any spirit, fighting spirit and desire to win.

Jin Taige was a little puzzled: "Although Tottenham are only one goal behind, why do they seem to have no fighting spirit at all? Don't they have any plans to tie the score?"

Phelan also saw the problem, and he said firmly: "If Tottenham follow this style of play, let alone an equalizer, even if they want to keep the 0-1 result, it will be impossible!"

Kintag said happily: "No matter what happens to Tottenham, the three points in this game are decided!"

At 62 minutes into the game, Jin Taige made substitution adjustments.

He replaced Giggs, who was exhausted, with Carrick, and now the team is leading by one goal. He replaced Carrick and asked him to assist Kanter in the backcourt to defend and organize and dispatch. Next, try to expand the score; then he replaced Evra with Alonso, and asked Alonso to go up and sprint the listless defense of Tottenham.

Then Kintag's team got another chance in a row.

"The new Alonso was very active, he and Riyadh Mahrez firmly controlled the left corridor. This time Alonso moved forward, past a defender, and gave the ball to Riyad Mahrez. Si, Mahrez took a long shot! The ball went high, what a pity."

"Carrick's long pass finds Rooney, look how he handles the ball! Rooney dunks the ball, past Kirikesh, he faces the goalkeeper one-handedly! Push! The ball sticks to the post and goes out of the baseline! "

Manchester United's offense was one wave after another. Although it was always a little short of the goal, Kintegger was not in a hurry. He knew that according to this style of play, scoring a goal would happen sooner or later.

Sure enough, when the game lasted 74 minutes, Manchester United finally expanded the score.

This time it was Carrick, who came on in the second half, who scored the goal. He found that his team was unable to start the game, so he assisted and stepped forward. From a distance of about 30 meters, he shot a strong long-range shot, and the ball directly blasted Goal.

"Carrick assisted and stepped forward, look at this opportunity, Carrick's long shot! The goal is scored!!!"

"Manchester United lead 2-0, they can almost say they have sealed the victory!"

"The 31-year-old Carrick scored a wonderful world wave! I'm sure this goal is definitely the best goal of this round of the Premier League!"

After the goal, Carrick was very excited. He yelled and rushed to the stands of the visiting team fans on the sidelines to celebrate with the fans under the stands. Vidic, Van Persie and other players also rushed up, hugging Carrick and celebrating the goal.

The "old footballer" banner appeared on the visiting team's stand again, which caught a lot of attention for a while.

Scholes waved his arms excitedly in front of the coaching bench of the visiting team: "Leading by two goals, this game is stable!"

And Jin Taige smiled and said calmly: "Facing such a team with no fighting spirit, it is inevitable for us to win. No matter how much money they spent this summer or how many excellent players they bought , unable to knead these people together to form a whole, even if Real Madrid and Barcelona encounter such a situation, they still have to lose!"

Now Boas is completely desperate. When the first goal was conceded just now, he kicked the lawn angrily on the sidelines; this time, Boas did not respond. In the direction of the court, his gaze remained motionless, as if he were a wooden sculpture made of clay.

Next, Kintag made another substitution adjustment. He replaced Rooney with Icardi, and then asked him to cross positions with Van Persie. Icardi stepped forward, and Van Persie lagged behind.

In the remaining ten minutes, Manchester United got some chances, but they all missed the goal. The final score of the game was fixed at 2-0.

Manchester United has consolidated its fourth place in the league, firmly biting Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool in front of it.

After the game, Kintag led all the Manchester United players to the visiting team stand, applauded the fans in the stands together, and expressed his gratitude to these lovely fans who followed the team to London.

And the "old footballer" banner is still hanging in the stands.

But at this time, Jin Taige did not expect that on the left side of the banner, the fat Rodney suddenly took out another banner prepared in advance, and unfolded it on the left side of "old footballer".

All players carefully watch the words on the banner, and there is only one word on the banner.

"Salute!"

"pay tribute!"

Putting this word together with "old footballer" on the left immediately became the words in the hearts of fans.

"Salute old footballer!"

"Salute to the heroes!"

Giggs looked at Jin Taige, and Jin Taige waved his hands again and again: "This is not my idea, and I don't know what's going on."

At this time, Cook, the chairman of the "King of Demons", shouted loudly in the stands: "Tiger, this is the idea of ​​all of us, thank you veterans for everything you have brought to Manchester United! Thank you! Salute!"

All the visiting team fans in the visiting team stand stood up and applauded the Manchester United fans in the field, expressing their deep respect in their hearts.

At the same time, even the many Tottenham fans in the adjacent stands stood up and applauded their opponents in respect.

A Tottenham fan said with emotion: "Giggs has publicly announced his retirement at the end of this season. Today is the last time I saw him at White Hart Lane. Let's applaud this respectable opponent for the last time..."

Seeing this scene, the Manchester United players came to the stands of the home team and the visiting team respectively, applauded and expressed their gratitude to the stands.

The Tottenham players not far away saw this scene, and they felt very awkward. They did not expect that the Tottenham fans were dissatisfied with them. Instead, they gave applause to the visiting Manchester United, which made it very difficult for the Tottenham players to accept.

From the moment the team fell behind 0-2, Villas-Boas already knew his fate. When the final whistle sounded, Villas-Boas was very calm. He stood on the sidelines, waiting for the Tottenham players to leave. The players were a little uneasy, they didn't know how the head coach would be angry. But when the Tottenham players walked off the field, Boas hugged them one by one, which was very rare, and then said to everyone: "Thanks for your hard work, keep working hard in the future."

The Tottenham players were a little flattered, why the head coach who was furious during the halftime break was abnormally calm after losing.

Boas said nothing more. He turned and walked towards the press conference hall. When passing by the stands of the home team fans, there were sporadic applause dedicated to him in the stands, and Boas also applauded in return, more sincere than ever before.

Because he knew that this was his last applause at Tottenham...
