Chapter 887: Difficult Goal

While the players were resting in the locker room, Ferguson analyzed the gains and losses of the first half to his disciples, and focused on the issue of counterattack.

During the game, Ferguson and his assistants were thinking about how to break Tottenham's tactics and create high-quality counterattacks.

Obviously, it is difficult for Scholes to successfully deliver the ball to the forward. Scholes is older and his speed and reaction are slower. His physical fitness is not very strong to begin with, and now he cannot easily get rid of it by himself. Tottenham’s tangle.

Before the goal, Gao Xiaodong and Scholes cooperated, and the midfield organization and transition were relatively smooth. After the goal, Gao Xiaodong retreated to help defend, and it was difficult to rely on Scholes alone.

The score is leading and the opponent is also very strong. It is not cost-effective to leave Fletcher as a single defensive midfielder. After all, it is much safer to counterattack than to attack.

Ferguson's countermeasure was simple. He replaced Anderson and the slower Berbatov. The formation changed to 442, allowing Anderson and Fletcher to play as a defensive midfielder. Gao Xiaodong moved forward and played with Skoll. Si organized and dispatched together.

Except for Berbatov, the players of Manchester United are all in favor of this change. After the first half of the contest, they did not think that they could easily defeat Tottenham. Using defensive counterattacks to deal with the extremely fast Tottenham would be a good idea. Good idea.

Berbatov was unhappy not just because he was substituted at halftime, but more because his tactical status in the team had declined this season.

Last season Berbatov was the absolute main force. This season he scored a lot of goals, even more than Rooney. He was Manchester United's second goalscorer, but his starting time was not as good as Rooney's. New aid Hernandez Will share his playing time regularly.

In Berbatov's view, this is mainly because Gao Xiaodong, the midfielder, scored too many goals and turned away from home, making him, the main forward last season, useless.

Therefore, Berbatov hates Gao Xiaodong more and more.

15 minutes passed and the second half began. Although Tottenham were lagging behind, they played very well in the second half of the first half, so Redknapp did not make any adjustments to the starting lineup or tactics.

Tottenham players soon discovered that the pressing tactics in the first half were ineffective.

After Anderson came on the field, Gao Xiaodong's position was no longer a defensive midfielder. He moved to a position parallel to Scholes. Nani often retreated, Rooney also had a wide running range, and there were many contact points around Manchester United players. It is not so easy to force the Manchester United player with the ball to pass back or make a mistake.

Just over five minutes into the second half, Tottenham made continuous large-scale moves. Lennon made a cross from the wing. Crouch and Ferdinand competed for a header. Ferdinand made a mistake in clearing the ball and the ball hit Anderson.

Anderson stopped the ball and quickly passed it to Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong received the ball and moved forward. Rooney and Nani quickly walked to the side, leaving the space in the middle to Gao Xiaodong.

At this moment, Tottenham are in the transition between offense and defense. There are fewer players returning to defense, and the players in the center are taken away by Rooney and Nani. Gao Xiaodong has a lot of space to break through in the center, which is very conducive to Gao Xiaodong's speed.

Seeing Gao Xiaodong go straight into his own 30-meter area, Tottenham center back Dawson let Nani go, quickly moved to the center to top Gao Xiaodong, and midfielder Palacios attacked Gao Xiaodong back and forth.

Gao Xiaodong immediately passed the ball to Nani and continued to advance.

Nani passed back to Scholes who was following up. Scholes went straight behind Dawson, giving Gao Xiaodong a chance to score a single goal.

Dawson was too late to turn around and follow Gao Xiaodong, but Gallas was experienced. After Nani passed the ball back to Scholes, he realized that Scholes might pass through. He left Rooney in advance, preparing to intercept Scholes. This pass from Coles.

Tottenham goalkeeper Gomez did not see Scholes' intention, but when Scholes passed the ball, he immediately went out to get the ball.

Gallas had already made a prediction in advance, and Gomez also attacked in time, but Gao Xiaodong's speed was too fast. Gallas and Gomez were both a step slower, and the ball was touched by Gao Xiaodong first.

But Gallas came to grab the ball on one side, and Gomez was in front of him. Gao Xiaodong didn't have the angle and time to shoot, so he could only poke the ball towards the baseline and dodge the pinch of Gallas and Gomez.

In order to avoid Gallas and Gomez, Gao Xiaodong used a little more force. By the time he caught up with the ball, he was almost at the baseline and the angle of the shot was already very small.

Gao Xiaodong can stop the ball and pass it back to the front of the penalty area to find a teammate who can intervene, but Gao Xiaodong doesn't know if there is anyone behind him. If he stops the ball and the opponent comes over to destroy it, this excellent offensive opportunity becomes A corner kick.

In a flash, Gao Xiaodong didn't have time to think too much about his kick. He caught up with the ball, forced a half-turn with the outside instep of his right foot and whipped the ball towards the goal.

This half-turn shot while running was too difficult. After Gao Xiaodong shot, he turned 360 degrees like a top and fell off the baseline.

Gao Xiaodong was very lucky. This difficult forced shot actually drew a small arc, hit the goal post on the other side and bounced into the goal.

When Gao Xiaodong shot, fans and players from both sides thought that Gao Xiaodong was going to pass the ball across the goal. Nani, who was in the back, tried his best to grab the landing spot, but he was still far away from the goal, and the ball was almost close to the goal. Flying in line, where can he grab it?

There was an uproar in the stands when the ball bounced into the net.

"In!"

"Hold the grass! Enter again!"

"A shot from almost zero angle!"

"This must be a trick!"

"Gao often enters the world wave!"

"Two goals!"

"2:0, Manchester United will definitely win!"

…

"The ball went in?!" The on-site commentator stood up in surprise, "Goal from zero angle! Gao scored again! But was he trying to pass the ball or shoot? It should be a shot, because he used the outside With the instep, the ball is spinning towards the baseline, so it can only be a shot! If it were a real shot, it would be a zero-degree goal comparable to Basten! Gao Zhen is a professional wave player in the world!"

Tottenham coach Redknapp hugged his head, God! This can all score goals! Did this guy named Gao eat clover? This angle is too small! Is this God not letting Tottenham win? We have the advantage, but we can't score. Manchester United doesn't have the advantage, but they can score no matter what the goal is. This is really unfair!

Redknapp was very angry, but Ferguson was overjoyed. He raised his fists and ran out. This was a game to seal the victory. Tottenham is not easy to win. Now Tottenham is a top four team. Yes, winning against them is something worth bragging about.

In the stands, Monkey, Xiao Le, Pogba and Beibei were sitting together. When they saw Gao Xiaodong entering the World Wave, everyone jumped up to congratulate him.

After the celebration, Monkey said to Pogba and Beibei: "See, this is a star. If you are as good as Fatty, you can play as the main force of Manchester United."

Pogba said sincerely: "This shot is really awesome. I can't do it even if I practice for ten years."

Beibei said: "The shooting skills are really good. Brother Gao is so good and famous, why can't he be the captain?"

Monkey said: "Your Majesty is stubborn and doesn't know how to adapt. He only cares about his qualifications."

Pogba said: "Looking at Brother Gao's contribution to Manchester United, he can convince the public without the accumulation of qualifications. Besides, Brother Gao has many friends at Manchester United."

Monkey said: "The captain has not been selected yet. I hope Xiaodong's goal will impress Sir Alex."

Both Pogba and Beibei repeatedly said that Gao Xiaodong's performance would definitely impress Ferguson and make Sir Alex Ferguson change his mind. nt
