Chapter 89
Let’s make a fuss first. When I woke up in the morning and read the news, I found out that Manchester United was blown up by Leeds United***, which made me quite passive today. I originally wanted to set a Premier League to blow up in this round*** Yes, they were disappointed in the end.After hesitating for a long time, I finally decided to write according to the plan. Anyway, I was blasted by others, so I just took it as following the historical trend. Losing the FA Cup and winning the Premier League is still a good deal.

~! @#￥%……&*()——+
In the League Cup in the middle of the week, Ferguson eliminated Manchester City with a rather indomitable formation, and Manchester United reached the League Cup final again.

The team's lineup is gradually becoming complete. Ferguson, who was speculated by the world years ago to make a big move, did not make a move. On the contrary, the current Manchester United is not a question of whether there is a shortage of people, but how to make good use of these people.

Manchester United will face Tottenham here at White Hart Lane on Saturday.

Teams like Tottenham in England's domestic cup competition are very competitive. This is a shortcut for them to enter the European arena. Tottenham is also the only team in the history of the FA Cup to participate in a non-league club and win the championship. Of course That was at the beginning of the last century, when there were not many so-called league clubs.

Of course, what cannot be ignored is Tottenham's love for the FA Cup. Although Tottenham have never got involved in this championship since the establishment of the English Premier League, this does not mean that they have expended energy on this event.

They are also the third most successful team in FA Cup history, ahead of Manchester United and Arsenal.

However, since Manchester United won the championship in 04, they have reached the final twice but failed to win the championship.

Of course, it is still too early to talk about the championship. If you want to win the championship, you need to win at least seven games in a row. If there is a draw in the middle, it will have a huge impact on this season's games.

Ferguson failed to solve the psychological problems of the Manchester United players. All he could do was to constantly rotate and let players in good condition play as much as possible, so as to make up for the players' psychological inaction.

Perhaps because the veterans played too many games, this time Ferguson sent a lineup dominated by young players.

In addition to Gary Neville and Brown in the defense, Evans and Fabio started the game. Mike continued to be the goalkeeper. The goal conceded in the last game did not shake his position much.

The midfield consists of four pure young players, Mike, Anderson, Obertin and Gibson. Although Ferguson is avoiding making Mike a jack-of-all-trades player, it seems that when he chooses players, he first considers Mike.

The striker is Welbeck and Rooney partnering, and Owen rests.

Today's Manchester United striker Beba's injury is unknown, and Welbeck is difficult to take on the big job, so Rooney and Owen can only rely on Rooney and Owen to attack the city. Quite gratified.

For Tottenham, Foster has already lost his main position. The Brazilian goalkeeper Gomez, who was injured at the beginning of the season, soon gained the trust of the head coach Redknapp after returning from injury. Let his love rest, and send Foster, who has been suppressed for a long time, on the stage. It seems that he doesn't want those millions of pounds to be wasted.

Defenders Bell and Hutton were on the left and right, England international Ledley King and Huddlestone partnered in the center, and Dawson was placed on the bench.

The front midfielder is Kranjica, who has been in the limelight recently, and he is surrounded by Palacios, Lennon and, well, Modric. Although this guy has some entanglements with Kranjica, they are relatively close. A reasonable division of labor in the frontcourt will be a big plus for Tottenham.

And the old coach Redknapp will not let the treasure he found be abandoned on the bench.

Forward Keane partnered with Defoe. The two have no problem in terms of offensive power, not to mention that there is Crouch, who is not in bad condition, on the bench.

The game started and Manchester United kicked off.

Michaela is on the right side. This position is a bit unfamiliar to him, but it is not impossible to play. It looks the same as the left side. Besides, he has changed positions with Valencia for a short time before, so although it is unfamiliar, it is not impossible to adapt. .

After the kick-off, Manchester United did not rush to attack and first controlled the ball. The football was passed in the Manchester United half. In this way, under the tentative press of Tottenham, the two sides fell into a brief stalemate.

The only difference is that the football has been passed back and forth at the feet of the Manchester United players, in other words, the Tottenham players at home have not touched the ball.

However, Manchester United is only letting most of the young players move their hands and feet, not to say that they will continue to play like this. Besides, the fans at White Hart Lane have already started booing everywhere. The rosy right hand swung to the court and attacked.

Welbeck received the ball from the frontcourt and knocked it back to Anderson. After taking the ball, Anderson directly dribbled the ball to face Lennon, feinted a shot and passed it to the right.

Mike received the ball with his left foot and unloaded it, then sprinted down the sidewalk, seeing that he was about to reach the bottom line. Bell, who was defending him, had no intention of making a move, but his body got closer to Mike, as if trying to force him out of the bottom line.

However, Mike has also experienced a lot of such scenes. He took two quick steps and made a pass, so Bell had to block it. However, just as his foot was lifted, Mike's right foot turned outwards, buckling the football. As soon as his left foot stood firm, he quickly dialed the ball with his right foot and walked back. It was because he was not fast along the sidewalk that he could change direction steadily at this time.

After dribbling the ball into the penalty area, he made a pass, and after attracting the attention of the defenders, he changed his arch and pushed the football horizontally to the top of the penalty area.

Because Mike's offense was a bit slow, most of Tottenham's players had already buried in the penalty area. At this time, the penalty area was already chaotic, and Mike would never pass the ball in.

Football is passed to the outside world, so there are more choices in scheduling.

However, Gibson, who was following up, didn't have that kind of thinking. He had a good long-range shot at that position, so he would shoot as soon as he wanted to.The football runs towards the goal with a powerful momentum.

Foster was full of players from both sides standing in front of him. When he shouted badly, the football had already appeared in front of his eyes. His reaction was also dissatisfied. When he raised his hand to block it, he saw a leg in front of him, and the football hit hard. Fly up that leg.

Foster didn't care who did it, he watched the football fly out of the baseline before turning his head to look at it. It was a joy to see it, but it was Rooney who hugged his head and sighed in annoyance.

After the corner kick was taken, Manchester United did not take advantage, and the possession rate of nearly 50.00 balls at the beginning of the game quickly dropped to around [-]%. Five, Kranica and Modric are indeed the most threatening players. I feel more deeply about the matchup, but Anderson, who is in charge of defending Kranica, is quite embarrassed.

After the initial test was over, the two sides started to attack each other. Tottenham’s players had some experience dealing with Manchester United’s young midfielders. They seemed to lose possession of the ball last time, but the fans who watched the game could find that , As far as the efficiency of the midfielders of both sides is concerned, Manchester United is at least dominant, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are at a disadvantage.

No.12 minutes, under the pressure of Hutton and Palacios, when Gibson gave the ball to Obertin, the power was light. Hutton stabbed the football to Palacios before the French rookie, Honduras After receiving the ball from the field, he quickly passed the ball to Lennon in front of him.

Lennon didn't stop, and after crossing the center line, he immediately made a two-for-one cooperation with Kranjica, and after getting out of Fabio, he quickly made a pass from the bottom.

The football quickly flew to the right side of the Manchester United penalty area.

Thirteen didn't dare to hit the ball, but when he looked at the opposing player, he almost broke into a sweat.

Except for Brown and Evans, the other players are far away.

In other words, Manchester United's defense diverged when it was offside, and Tottenham played four against two in the frontcourt.

But Thirteen was a little relieved that although the football was taken by Keane in the latter point, this guy didn't seem to notice his teammates behind him.

Sure enough, when Thirteen took a step forward, he almost shot straight away.Thirteen, who had already stepped out, retracted his feet, bent his body slightly, and then jumped up. He blocked the ball with both hands, and then quickly reached out to grab the football, holding the football in his arms, regardless of the Tottenham players. , Quickly kick the ball out with a big foot.

Manchester United fought back.

Gibson passed the ball to Mike after receiving the ball, but Mike passed the ball too big in the pass after hitting the bottom, allowing Hutton from the back point to clear the ball.

The offensive and defensive exchanges between the two sides were frequent. After half an hour, although there were not many shots, Shisan and Foster never let up, because the football was flying back and forth in front of them. .

In such a seemingly fierce game that actually did nothing, Manchester United, which had been relying heavily on attacking from the right, suddenly distributed the ball to the left.

Welbeck and Rooney, who followed one after the other, both missed the football.Irving looked helpless on the sidelines. He has always liked this kind of pass, but he rarely encountered it when he was on the court.

Bell at the back point did not let the football go out of the baseline, but kicked the ball with a big foot. Gibson in the frontcourt grabbed the chest before Kranjica stopped and hoisted the football to the penalty area. Rooney, who had already retreated, turned and ran back. The header near the penalty spot was too high, but Foster jumped up and confiscated the football.

The football was driven into Manchester United's backcourt by Foster.

This time Gibson had lost the chance to grab the ball, but Anderson stepped in behind him to prepare for the attack. For a while, Kranica, who received the ball, was emptied.

It was this seemingly normal mistake that gave Tottenham the lead.

Kranica, who received the ball, dribbled the ball forward easily. After attracting the unhesitating Brown, he dunked and pushed the ball to the right penalty area.

Faced with such a situation, Thirteen moved forward slightly in order to reduce the passing space while preventing the opponent from shooting.

However, there are not only low balls on the football field, but also high balls such as lobs, lobs, and lobs.

Defoe, who was catching the ball from the right, was not greedy for merit at all. He kicked his toes and made a posture of poking and shooting. Thirteen had no choice but to lower his center of gravity.

However, when he squatted down slightly, the football flew back under his eyes, and he couldn't hook the football even if he jumped up.

Without much thought, he turned half sideways and threw himself behind him.

It's a pity that manpower is exhausted. Although his reaction is extremely fast, he is tall, but he is not as tall as Yao Ming. The football flies into the goal at least one palm away in front of his fingers.

"GOALLLLLLLLLL, Robbie, Robbie Keene!"

The cold wind in North London keeps blowing, and White Hart Lane is full of enthusiasm. After experiencing the wind and rain, the former Irish genius looks so chic and calm, but full of passion.

At that moment, Ferguson felt that his defender was weak, and his feet seemed to be filled with lead.

Whether it was Fabio, who was not letting go, or Evans, who was marking Keane, they were all left behind.

Keane was so calm at the top, Thirteen's save was so embarrassing, but the defenders seemed to be walking.

"Damn, is it so easy!" Thirteen stood up speechless and looked at his teammates. If the opponent's attack could still be tolerated before, then this time his teammates' continuous loss of position made him feel like crying. However, the goal of the professional league is not so unbreakable, and his once-high self-confidence has finally been continuously destroyed.

Although it was not his fault, including conceding the goal against Manchester City, he has tried his best, but it is only when he tries his best that he feels powerless.

Although after conceding a goal at the last moment last year, he has learned to accept and accept the somewhat bitter feeling of conceding a goal, but whenever such a moment occurs, he feels that his heart is bleeding, and he feels like being surrounded by someone holding his limbs and beating him. The feeling, even though his eyes are burning, he can't resist.

"Calm down!" He calmed himself down again and again. He knew that there was no reason to blame his teammates, because when anyone makes mistakes, he should give his teammates enough trust. I have a great illusion, because they are defending the goal and protecting the goalkeeper.

The game restarted, Thirteen stared at the front court with [-] points of energy, and then Tottenham had begun to shrink in a planned way. They would no longer invest most of their players in the offense. The offense and defense should be balanced. After taking the lead, most of them will have this tendency. Even a team like Tottenham, which is used to fighting to the death, is quite good at defense. Otherwise, Ledley King would not be more popular in England. Leo, Huddlestone will not occasionally enter the national team.

Manchester United is trying to counterattack, but the young midfielder who rarely plays against the wind has little to do when facing professional teams that feint and defend.

Even Rooney retreated to the midfield, even if Mike and Welbeck switched positions, the result of the game did not change.

Thirteen did not show a god-level performance that surpassed several people, and Mike did not have the ability to save the suffering from the water and fire bodhisattva.

Gibson, who was once able to dominate a game, seems to have yet to hit home with his long-range shots, and Rooney, who is striving to become the Premier League's top scorer, seems to have no extra energy to affect the cup.

Giggs, whom the fans were looking forward to, did not play, because Ferguson would rather lose the game than let the young players become dependent.Experience needs to be imparted, but more is to be understood by oneself. If you can't get rid of the influence of veterans, you will never be able to provoke the leader.

Although Irving was replaced in the second half, the overall situation is the same. Manchester United's young players lost their rare game. There are too many things left for them to sum up in this game, whether it is mistakes or the impact of the game. control.

Zero to one, an away loss, and also lost the opportunity to play in the FA Cup. What awaited them was Ferguson's silent punishment, although Sir Alex Ferguson was already furious in an interview after the game.

This is the first loss in Shisan's career, and the most intuitive thing for him is the first consecutive goal loss.

The only good thing is that when his teammates are pressing heavily, he is still able to keep the goal clean, which can be regarded as a kind of mental experience.

The road is still very long!If you lose, you lose, and if you win next time, you will come back.

What is lacking on the football field is to start all over again, and what is not lacking is to start all over again. As long as you dare to attack, there is no obstacle you cannot overcome...
