Chapter 79 Covering the sky with one hand! (Fourth update, please subscribe)

In the Manchester United dressing room at this time.

Mourinho briefly reviewed the first half of the game, and then said in a deep voice: "Tottenham's pressing is very physical and almost regardless of time, which will make them show fatigue after a period of time!"

"."

Chu Feng looked at the tactical board carefully, listened to Mourinho's explanation, and gradually came to his own understanding.

Tottenham's tactics mainly have three cores, namely unlimited pressing, front and back attack and keeping the ball away from the core area.

Pochettino has used it to the extreme and achieved great results, but it also carries great risks, which is equivalent to walking a tightrope at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

If tactics fail, there is little room to make amends.

It only takes a player with superb skills and good vision, such as Willian, De Bruyne and others, to penetrate Tottenham's defense with a wide range of transfers during the transition between offense and defense.

And you can try to play this role yourself

In the away locker room at this time.

Pochettino was not too anxious and conveyed his calmness to the players.

"In the second half, we continued to increase the intensity of the pressure and exhausted the physical energy of the Manchester United players as much as possible."

"Remember, we must learn to move in advance and predict the opponent's offensive intentions. This is what we have practiced on weekdays."

"At the same time, when the opponent plays the ball, everyone must try their best to interfere in a practical sense."

"Finally, use physical confrontation to make our opponents fear us!"

Despite Pochettino's honest and simple appearance, in fact he has South American blood flowing in his bones, and his unrestrained and roughness have long been integrated into his tactical concepts.

Sun Xingmin was sitting in the corner of the locker room, his head lowered and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The fifteen-minute break passed quickly. Players from both sides returned to the green field, and Old Trafford resumed its bustle.

Beep!

At the referee's whistle, the second half of the game officially began.

Tottenham's overall formation quickly moved forward and launched a surging high pressure, without any regard for the players' physical fitness.

In this situation.

The Manchester United players couldn't control the ball at all, so they simply gave the ball away and retreated to defend fully.

Fortunately, they have experienced Klopp's "crazy running flow" and have more or less experience in dealing with it, which is to firmly occupy the offensive third zone.

Relying on their own "beautiful" goalkeeper De Gea, Tottenham allowed Tottenham to take long shots in non-dangerous areas.

This is very tiring for De Gea.

When the situation on the court reached a stalemate, Zhan Jun took the opportunity to educate the fans.

"Based on Manchester United's recent games, De Gea's PSXG is as high as 12.5, which is a full 4 points higher than Lori."

"By the way, PSXG means 'the goalkeeper's expected number of goals conceded - the actual number of goals conceded'. The higher the value, the higher the goalkeeper's level!"

"Beautiful! De Gea, another save!"

"The current Premier League record for saves in a single game is 14, held by Krul and Manno."

"It looks like De Gea is expected to break the record!"

As the barrage flashed across the screen, the Chinese fans were in love and began to praise him.
-

【Covering the sky with one hand! 】
-

【A magical duck descends from heaven! 】
-

[The front court is picturesque, and the back court is De Gea! 】
-

[Manchester United seems to have never been short of good goalkeepers, Schmeichel, Edwin van der Sar, De Gea. 】
-

[This is the tradition of the Red Devils! 】
-

[As an Arsenal fan, I am so envious! 】

At this time, the Tottenham players on the green field were also a little confused. They felt like NPCs, brushing up De Gea's save data.

According to Pochettino's arrangement, he originally wanted to use pressure to accumulate enough advantages and then seize the opportunity to equalize the score.

But Manchester United didn't control the ball at all and stayed within the 30-meter area.

Mourinho on the sidelines was vaguely aware that the situation had changed. After all, Tottenham players were not robots and would certainly not be able to sustain 90 minutes of high-intensity pressure.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime "fatigue period."

So he quickly made a gesture to signal the Manchester United players to wait for an opportunity to attack.     The 67th minute of the game.

After receiving the ball, Son Heung-min cut in the middle, made a simple wall-to-wall coordination with Ali, and then directly took a long shot.

The football roared towards the goal, but Phil Jones used his body to block it from the penalty area on the way.

Tottenham players immediately double-teamed back and forth, trying to delay Manchester United's counterattack even if they couldn't win the ball.

But after nearly 70 minutes of high-intensity exercise, their physical fitness has declined rapidly, and the speed of pressure has slowed down a bit.

Matic seized this moment to turn around and pass the ball to Chu Feng in front of him.

But Tottenham players seemed to be prepared and immediately changed their direction of movement.

Trippier went from back to front, Dembélé went from right to left, and Eriksen went from front to back, forming a tight line of pressure and quickly surrounding the target.

Chu Feng had a panoramic view of the three people's movements, and at the same time observed Mata with his peripheral vision, he suddenly made a decision in his heart.

After several months of targeted training, his vision has improved a lot compared to before.

So he made a move to dribble the ball forward and break through.

Upon seeing this, Eriksen immediately moved inside to cover Dembele's area.

At this moment, Chu Feng suddenly pulled the ball backward.

If we don't advance but retreat, doesn't this slow down the offensive rhythm?

We haven’t waited for the fans to understand this issue.

With a crisp sound, the football spun and fell to the right. Tottenham's high pressure was shattered, and even the entire formation was in chaos.

"Pretty!"

Mata subconsciously sighed in admiration, thinking that Chu Feng's practice with Carrick was really not in vain. This long pass was just right in terms of power and timing.

Manchester United instantly shifted their offense to Tottenham's defensive weak side and formed a numerical advantage in a small area.

Lukaku moved forward like a tank, suppressing Tottenham's defense.

Ibrahimovic follows up along the middle, ready to respond at any time.

The right side of Tottenham's penalty area.

When Mata faced Danny Rose, the full-back who would be fired by Tottenham in the future, he didn't bother with him at all and simply knocked across the center.

Ibrahimovic stopped and passed Winks, stopping the ball half a meter in front of him.

He seemed to recall the scene where he once dominated the green field, and infinite confidence reverberated in his chest without any hesitation.

Shooting furiously!

The football went straight to the goal like a cannonball.

Lori stretched his body to the extreme and blocked the ball with one fist.

"A powerful shot!"

"Oh, world-class save, Lori kept Tottenham's goal intact!"

The sounds of regret at Old Trafford were immediately heard, and Manchester United fans covered their heads in disbelief. They could not accept that such a high-quality long-range shot failed to score.

Tottenham fans breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they also had a goalkeeper they could trust.

"Hey, whose is it at two o'clock?"

As the camera moved rapidly, the football fell to the left rib area. Since Tottenham players moved closer to the right side, it was very empty.

Suddenly a red figure entered the screen.
