Chapter 814 Tottenham’s Counterattack

After scoring the goal, Gao Xiaodong raised one hand in the air like a scissor, covered his ears with the other hand in a listening position, and ran slowly towards the stands.

This is obviously an opportunity for teammates to come up and celebrate.

Teammates were also very considerate. Rooney, Nani, Rafael and other players who were close to Gao Xiaodong immediately came over to celebrate with Gao Xiaodong. Veterans like Giggs and Ferdinand also came over to touch Gao Xiaodong. Head, even players such as Fletcher and Berbatov who were far away from Gao Xiaodong applauded, and there was harmony in the Manchester United team.

The stands were already in a frenzy. More than 70,000 Red Devils stood up and waved their scarves and shouted loudly. The entire stand was like a volcano erupting, and the atmosphere was extremely heated.

"goalgoagoal! Beautiful!"

"Sky Sports" on-site commentator Martin cheered loudly for Manchester United's goal.

"The previous series of cooperation was smooth and smooth. The frequent changes of positions between Giggs and Gao Xiaodong disrupted Tottenham's defense. Rooney's last hit was a little missed, but Gao Xiaodong helped Rooney make up for the mistake. 1:0, the start was not good. By ten minutes, this is a pretty good start! It seems that it will be very difficult for Tottenham to change their destiny of not winning for 21 years!"

Ferguson clenched his fists and jogged on the sidelines. Although his thousand-year-old celebrations were often criticized by fans, there was no sense of disobedience when he scored. Ferguson also moved the fans when he high-fived and hugged the substitutes and coaches. More violent cheers.

Tottenham manager Redknapp was stunned. Now he finally figured out why Ferguson, who was 6 years older than him, took such risks when setting up his formation. It turned out that when Manchester United was attacking, Giggs was more likely to attack. They organized in the middle, and let Gao Xiaodong attack from the side and use his strong body to beat Lennon. When defending, Gao Xiaodong returned to the middle and Fletcher guarded the middle.

Ferguson dared to arrange his troops in this way because Giggs and Gao Xiaodong were both geniuses and could play in the middle and wide. However, Tottenham and Redknapp were not able to respond properly in time and were defeated by Manchester United. Scored the goal early.

It's a bit of a problem for Tottenham now. Tottenham are equipped with the strongest counterattack weapons in the Premier League, Bell and Lennon on the wing, Van der Vaart in the attacking midfielder and Modric in the defensive midfielder. But now they are surprised by Manchester United and concede the goal. Manchester United will definitely To recover the compressed space, Tottenham can only engage in positional warfare, and it will be very difficult to counterattack Manchester United.

But Tottenham was fourth last season and already has the strength to compete with teams such as Manchester United and Chelsea. Now that the score is behind, it is of course impossible for them to continue to wait for Manchester United to attack like a relegation team.

With a cold face, Redknapp called captain Gallas over and asked him to tell the players his instructions, strengthen the attack, focus on Manchester United's right side, and attack Manchester United's left side with a cold attack.

Redknapp's arrangement is very targeted. Manchester United's right back Raphael is young, and Nani is stronger offensively than defensively. Using Bell to attack Manchester United's right wing is more likely to tear open the defense.

Of course, if the main attack is on the right, Manchester United's forces will definitely tilt to the right. At this time, Lennon's speed can be used to impact Giggs and Evra, and wear down the physical fitness of the two veterans. Maybe something can be gained in the second half. .

When attacking the two wings, if Crouch is put in the middle, the effect will definitely be better. However, Manchester United's goal was too early. It was only ten minutes and Redknapp could not make a substitution at this time. , we can only use Robbie Keane first and see. Van der Vaart also has a strong scoring ability, so he cannot make substitutions in the second half.

Of course, Ferguson is also a master of tactics. Since he made the arrangement for Gao Xiaodong and Giggs to switch positions, he naturally also considered the possibility of scoring a lead and subsequent tactics.

After returning from the celebration, Gao Xiaodong continued to return to the center, but moved back almost ten meters. Berbatov stayed in front and Rooney moved back ten meters. Manchester United's formation basically became a 4411 formation. .

This change in formation not only brings Gao Xiaodong closer to his penalty area, but also brings Rooney closer to the midfield.

Rooney is a very active forward. When facing strong opponents, he will even return to his penalty area. He was once dubbed a defensive forward by fans.

Rooney's retreat of ten meters not only allows him to exert his impact, but also allows him to assist Gao Xiaodong in controlling the midfield.

Ferguson was well prepared. After Gao Xiaodong scored, Tottenham launched a fierce attack from the right wing, but with Fletcher assisting on the wing, Bell could not get into the penalty area even if he penetrated Rafael. , could only pass from the bottom, and after Gao Xiaodong assisted Fletcher in guarding the wing, he recovered a lot and stared at the real killer Van der Vaart hidden behind Robbie Keane, almost completely strangling Tottenham's offense.

Tottenham's best chance came from their attack down United's left flank.

Tottenham continued to attack Manchester United's right wing. Although Fletcher assisted in defense, the right wing was still full of threats. Manchester United's formation also continued to tilt to the right in order to strengthen its defense.

At the beginning, Manchester United always paid attention to their left wing when defending, but Tottenham resolutely attacked Manchester United's right wing and ignored the left wing, which gradually made Manchester United lose their alertness.

In the 30th minute of the game, after twenty minutes of rapid attack and defense, Manchester United almost forgot about the existence of Tottenham's right midfielder Lennon. At this time, Modric, who was assisting Bell in attacking from the left, accurately found the ball with a long pass. Lennon on the right.

Lennon took the ball and ran quickly towards Manchester United's bottom line.

Giggs came to intercept, but Lennon changed direction and accelerated to throw him away.

In fact, Lennon's change of direction was a waste of time. All he had to do was speed up and rush forward. Giggs, the son of the Welsh wind, has now become Wang Laoji and cannot keep up with him.

As Tottenham were attacking on the right, left back Evra almost moved to the penalty area. Seeing Lennon rushing over quickly, he quickly ran to the wing.

Seeing that Evra was running too fast for defense, Lennon stopped and dunked the ball, as if he was going to cross into the penalty area. When Evra stopped suddenly, Lennon moved lightly and headed towards the baseline again.

Evra was at a disadvantage because he quickly ran to the side, adjusted his center of gravity continuously, and sat down on the ground.

Lennon went down to the baseline, did not cross, and then cut across to the penalty area.

There was no choice now. Center defender Vidic could only go over to fill in. Gao Xiaodong had been keeping an eye on Van der Vaart, but Modric stepped in from the backcourt. Lennon saw the opportunity coming and kicked it. The ball was passed back to the front of the penalty area.

When Gao Xiaodong was staring at Van der Vaart, he saw Lennon's pass through the corner of his super glasses. He didn't need to look anymore to know that someone must have intervened. Gao Xiaodong decisively gave up on Van der Vaart and turned around in the direction of the ball. Pounce.

Modric was already ready to hit the goal, but Gao Xiaodong reacted so quickly and blocked his shot.

Modric is also a talented midfielder with a strong ability to adapt to changes. He gave up the shot, flicked the back of his foot and passed the ball to Van der Vaart.

When Gao Xiaodong turned around, Van der Vaart also turned around. Modric passed the ball to him. He showed his strong shooting ability. Without stopping the ball, he half-turned and volleyed along the ball.

When Gao Xiaodong gave up marking Van der Vaart, Rooney quickly came over to cover, but Van der Vaart handled the ball too quickly. Before Rooney arrived, Van der Vaart had already completed the shot.

Not to mention Rooney, even goalkeeper Van der Sar, who had been staring at the ball and Van der Vaart, did not expect it. After Van der Vaart completed the shot, Van der Sar made a move to save the ball.

Van der Sar made a late save and the ball flew past his hand. However, Van der Vaart also had bad luck today. The shot he was bound to score was blocked by the ball.

Van der Vaart covered his face, his face full of frustration.

Tottenham's players and coaches also sighed with regret.

The on-site commentator Martin sighed: "Van der Vaart's shot is quite imaginative. It reminds us of the "Scorpion Tail" he scored. Unfortunately, it was a bit unlucky! Tottenham has many players who can compete with Manchester United. Genius, Modric's long pass, Bale and Lennon's extraordinary breakthrough, they are all top-notch. If they are polished well, they can definitely compete for the Premier League championship, but now their overall performance is still a bit worse than Manchester United."
