The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 511 Black Eat Black

Some people say that Tottenham Hotspur's offense is like flowing water, bypassing high places, flowing to low-lying areas, and gathering more and more.

Ferguson made adjustments to the lineup in the second half. He was obviously dissatisfied with the game, so he wanted to further strengthen the team's offense and use offense to resolve the team's defensive weaknesses. This was his one choice.

You must know that in a football game, every choice made by the head coach has two sides and risks.

If it is also in this half, I believe that quite a few head coaches will choose to defend and replace the guards, but Ferguson chooses to strengthen the offense, and there is no way to say which option is good and which one is bad.

Berbatov replaced Park Ji-sung, Ferguson still did not dare to move Cristiano Ronaldo, then Giggs replaced Anderson, Ferguson made two consecutive substitution adjustments during the intermission, obviously to Give it a go.

After the start of the second half, Manchester United's offensive was a bit fierce. Ye Qiu immediately replaced David Silva with Lucas, pushed Beckham up to play as a central midfielder, and partnered with Cesc Fabregas again, while Lucas was in charge. rear.

Beckham plus Cesc Fabregas, Tottenham Hotspur's central midfielder combination that achieved a half-season leap two years ago, is now reappearing, making many Tottenham Hotspur fans scream.

Originally, in Ye Qiu's eyes, he wanted to keep Mascherano and Yaya Toure and sell Lucas, but after Mascherano left Barcelona, ​​Ye Qiu chose to promote Yaya Toure and Yaya Toure. Lucas, the Brazilian defensive midfielder has got more performance opportunities this season, and his defensive strength has also steadily improved. Sitting in the backcourt, Tottenham Hotspur's defense line was immediately stabilized.

Beckham, Cesc Fabregas, Lucas, Tottenham Hotspur's midfield in the second half, in front of Manchester United's midfield, still has a certain advantage in terms of physical fitness, especially considering the team It's still a three-goal lead.

Ye Qiu kept urging the players to relax during the intermission, but he couldn't be careless, because Manchester United never lacked classic cases of reversal, and he didn't want to be the victim of the next Luzhniki miracle.

Defensively solid, Tottenham regained possession.

It turns out one thing is that when berbatov and cristiano ronaldo are on the pitch at the same time, manchester united's offense is indeed quite dangerous, but their frontcourt pressing is also the worst, because apart from one tevez , Almost all of them use eyes to defend, coupled with poor physical fitness and state, the strength of the frontcourt pressing can be imagined.

In the current football tactical system, if the frontcourt does not put enough pressure on the opponent, the pressure on the midfield and backcourt will increase exponentially.

In the No.703 minute of the game, Thiago Silva made a long pass from the midfield again. Cavani crossed Evra in the frontcourt and rushed forward with the ball.

As early as when Ye Qiu was still coaching Ajax and Chelsea, he once said that full-back offense is a double-edged sword. It must be based on one premise, that is, your team has enough control. Otherwise, if the full-backs attack, the defensive loopholes left behind will be extremely huge.

Ye Qiu attaches great importance to the midfield. The reason is very simple. The midfield is always the source of the team's control. Without the midfield, a team will lose the minimum control.

In Ye Qiu's previous life, he had seen Real Madrid in the second phase of the Galacticos. From Pellegrini's period to Mourinho's period, he once thought about a question, that is, why Real Madrid's games always seem to give people a kind of The indescribable feeling is that you obviously think that they are full of stars and should be very strong, but they have never shown enough convincing performances on the court?

Now he understands, because the midfielder!

The strength of Real Madrid lies in the frontcourt. Pellegrini's tactics during the Pellegrini period were to quickly pass through the midfield and hand over the ball to the frontcourt players in the shortest possible time. .

During the Mourinho period, it was claimed that the offense was fast and the defense was secret. In fact, this is a contradiction in itself, but why can this be done?

Because it directly missed the midfield, it was either attacking or defending, lacking a buffer zone!
Why is Xabi Alonso so important to Real Madrid?
The reason is simple. His precise long pass is an important core element for fast attack and close defense. He can ensure that the team does not need to go through the midfield and pass the ball directly to the frontcourt.

This kind of tactical play is not to say that it is completely ineffective, because it exists, it proves that it has a reason and value, so Real Madrid can play hearty offensive football when they encounter a weaker team. If they fail, or encounter a strong opponent, they will suffer a lot because they lack a midfielder.

In the whole set of tactics of Real Madrid, whether it is from Pellegrini or Mourinho, they are almost heavy at the two ends and light in the middle. This is completely a deformity in the current football world. The reason is very simple. Policy, to ensure the appearance of superstars!
The current football tactics are moving toward integration, with the midfield as the center, and everything revolves around the midfield, so forwards retreat and defenders press forward, they are all moving closer to the midfield, and the reason is very simple, five fingers hold together. The fists are powerful, and if they are scattered, they are easy to be broken one by one. The same is true for football tactics. The formation must be kept compact to be powerful, and it will be finished if it is loose.

Manchester United's current tactical formation is actually a bit of Real Madrid's route, attacking fast and defending closely, allowing Cristiano Ronaldo, Carlos Tevez and others to rush and run in the frontcourt, while the backcourt is based on stable defense , midfielder Carrick is equivalent to Harvey Alonso, but the difference is that Manchester United also has Giggs, Scholes, Anderson who performed well this season, and Hager who performed very well last season Reeves et al., were able to mask this problem to the greatest extent.

But when you are not in good shape, when your players' physical fitness is not sustainable, when you do not have enough control over the game, all your problems and shortcomings will be completely exposed, leaving nothing behind.

So when Evra pressed forward and Thiago Silva made a long pass, Cavani took the ball very easily from the front and back, and rushed forward on the right.

Vidic posted it at the first time, but Messi was very close to him, cruising behind him, and Ferdinand rushed over immediately, preparing to protect Vidic's back and mark Messi.

Cavani entered the 30-meter area of ​​Manchester United and knocked across before Vidic. Messi quickly stepped in and caught the ball behind Vidic. Taking advantage of the trend, he was about to pass Ferdinand with a fake move. The English central defender had no choice. , In front of Messi, who is tall and tall, he was a little bit overwhelmed, but it was impossible to watch him pass through his defense zone, so he hugged Messi from behind.

The referee blew his whistle without hesitation, a tactical foul, a red card, and a direct free kick!
This is almost an uncontroversial penalty, and even Manchester United's players did not protest, but only symbolically put pressure on the referee, because they knew very well that this was Ferdinand's choice.

From the point of view of position, this is Gareth Bale's best free throw area, but in this game the Welshman didn't play, and Beckham stood in front of the penalty spot without hesitation.

No one knows how the Manchester United fans at Old Trafford are feeling at this moment, and no one knows whether they will resent Beckham, but the Englishman stood in front of the penalty spot, without the slightest hesitation, all His thoughts were swept away, and after hearing the referee's whistle, he rushed forward quickly, swung his right foot, and directly kicked the iconic full moon scimitar.

The ball crashed into the net, cleanly!

All United fans were in disbelief, visibly overwhelmed by Tottenham's attack.

What is the concept of beating Real Madrid by a big score, Sporting Lisbon by a big score, and now they beat Manchester United with four goals in an away game?
This is definitely the concept of defending the Champions League!

"Ye Qiu is too familiar with Ferguson and Manchester United. From the very beginning, he used Gareth Bale to confuse Ferguson. He made Ferguson think that Ye Qiu was going to use him in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final. , but Ye Qiu starts with Ribery, which is definitely beyond Ferguson's expectations!"

"Gareth Bale and Franck Ribery are two completely different types of players. The former is a typical British winger, while the latter is a continental winger. The former goes straight and confronts head-on, while the latter pays more attention to speed change. Change of direction, and Ribery is small and technically slender, and he can still play very well in a narrow range."

"Ferguson was fooled, O'Shea, Vidic, Ferdinand, the three tall players were sitting in the back line, but they were facing two short players, Ribery and Messi, and Ye Qiu had a very big one in this game. The interesting change is to move Cavani to the right, and draw the original main right winger Messi to the center to get the ball, which is quite terrible!"

"In Manchester United's entire defensive system, almost no one can block Messi, and let him get the ball between the central defender and the midfielder. This is not equivalent to letting Tottenham take a knife on themselves. In addition, Cavani pinched Evra on the left, Manchester United played very badly throughout the game, as if their hands and feet were tied, and it was difficult to play according to their most comfortable rhythm. Instead, Tottenham Hotspur broke through the defense time and time again."

Andy Gray has now seen it clearly. Physical fitness is one aspect, but the more important aspect is Tottenham Hotspur's tactical changes and adjustments in this game, and this is definitely not a loss to Luzhny. Based on Miracle's tactical innovation of midfield adjustment, after Ye Qiu pulled Messi to the middle, it played a greater tactical role.

"Messi is in the middle. Although there are people around, Messi is very calm on the ball and almost never loses the ball. This makes Tottenham Hotspur's frontcourt have a very stable point of holding the ball, and the players around them can play. Feel more at ease and more fluid.”

"Tottenham Hotspur today really showed the arrogance and strength of a championship team, and the confidence and calmness of this team are also impressive. This is indeed a team that looks like a champion. !"

After a four-goal lead, it can almost be determined that Tottenham Hotspur will reach the final early, and there is no need to play in the second round, because Manchester United wants to reverse the four-goal reversal in Tottenham Hotspur's stadium. Almost impossible.

Following the referee's whistle, the focus of this match, which attracted worldwide attention before the match, was finally presented to the world with a score result that almost no one could have imagined, even the gaming companies could not have imagined.

Tottenham Hotspur showed their strong offensive power with four goals in the away game against Manchester United. At the same time, it also made everyone realize that this team is conquering powerful opponents one after another and is taking a step towards the legend of defending the title. step forward.

Ferguson didn't go back to the coach's bench throughout the second half. He always stood in the command area. After the whistle sounded at the end of the game, he obviously had enough mental preparation for the result, so he looked a little calm and walked towards the home of the visiting team. The coach commanded the area and stretched out his hand towards Ye Qiu.

"Although I'm not very willing, I still have to congratulate you!" If the expression is calm, then the tone is very sour.

It's sour, just like unripe red bayberry, it will make people's teeth fall out.

"Thank you!" Ye Qiu smiled and shook hands with him.

After a pause, he smiled quickly and said, "You will congratulate me again soon!"

Ferguson is also a smart person, he was used to fighting Ye Qiu, so he immediately guessed what Ye Qiu meant, he was talking about the league champion.

"That's not necessarily the case!" Ferguson also smiled.

In the remaining four rounds of the Premier League, Manchester United's schedule is an away game against Middlesbrough, a home game against Manchester City, a home game against Arsenal and an away game against Hull City, while Tottenham's schedule is not easy, with a home game against West Bromville Oddly, playing Everton away, Manchester City at home, and Liverpool away are all tough opponents.

From the perspective of the schedule, Manchester United is indeed much more favorable, because the only two strong opponents of Manchester United are Manchester City and Arsenal, but they are both playing at home, and now Ferguson can fully devote himself to the league.

But Tottenham Hotspur is different, because the last round of the Premier League this season will not be until the afternoon of May 24th, while the Champions League final is on the evening of May 27th, Tottenham Hotspur will definitely be disturbed, and the last round The opponent in the round is Liverpool, and Benitez has always been Ye Qiu's biggest headache.

Ferguson is not an idiot either. The reason why he tried his best to fight for the No.30 four rounds of the league and shorten the points to one point is because he bet that Tottenham Hotspur would lose points again in the last stage of the schedule, but he really did not expect that Ye Qiu really dared to fight for the Champions League with all his strength.

But I still have to say, purely from the face of the cards, whether Tottenham Hotspur meets Barcelona or Chelsea in the Champions League final, the chances of winning are very high, but if it is affected by the league, then I really don't know.

"Sometimes, people are too greedy, which is not a good thing!" Ferguson hit Ye Qiu with a smile.

Ye Qiu pouted, "But I've always looked down on people who don't pursue things very much, as if..." Ye Qiu pointed everywhere, but always pointed around Ferguson, and the answer was self-evident.

Ferguson started laughing, "Whether I pursue it or not, you will know this summer. Next season, I will definitely show you a brand new and different Manchester United. I want to win another Champions League!"

At the last sentence, Ferguson showed an extremely strong desire. He even said in private with Ye Qiu that as long as he wins another Champions League, he can retire with peace of mind.

In fact, if Tottenham Hotspur hadn't turned out last season and intercepted Ferguson's Hu in the Champions League final, Manchester United's strength last season would have swept the other European giants and won the Champions League. There is almost no suspense.

But it is precisely because of the emergence of Tottenham Hotspur that Ferguson has further seen the weaknesses and shortcomings of the current team. He has also thought of a way to reorganize the team's offensive and defensive system, so this time he is very confident. We must strive to be highly competitive in the Champions League next season.

The reason is simple. Ferdinand will be 31 years old next season, and Vidic will be 28. Ferguson himself has no idea how long this pair of central defenders can maintain their peak form. Once these two players go downhill, Manchester United is bound to usher in a new round of turmoil and anxiety again.

There was Stam when the team won the Triple Crown, but after Stam left, Manchester United's central defenders have never been stable. It was hard to run into Ferdinand Gavedic's central defender combination. Ferguson naturally hopes to be able to In the case that this set of central defenders still maintains top strength, strive for more team honors.

He even did not hesitate to sell the number one superstar in the team again, because only in this way can Manchester United have a chance to be reborn!
"This old guy is really old-hearted, and his fighting spirit is still very strong!" Roland and Ferguson also have a good relationship, and there is no taboo in speaking. It's not that he dares to speak behind his back after Ferguson is gone. Even if Ferguson is here, he Dare to say.

Of course, this is not a bad word!
"Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer has been decided, but Ferguson seems to be making a big move, and I always feel that he should not keep Berbatov." Ye Qiu said.

Ferguson valued Berbatov mainly because of the Bulgarian striker's front court ball and turn, the purpose is to play out the strength of Cristiano Ronaldo, and in fact, in the past three seasons, Cristiano Ronaldo has been very strong , proving that Ferguson's strategy was successful.

It's just that Berbatov has fallen out of favor this season, because he is too lazy in the frontcourt, and Ferguson can't tolerate him anymore!

"I heard that Ferguson has reached an agreement with Lyon to introduce the talented French striker Benzema!" Roland said.

Ye Qiu, the player of Benzema, has also noticed it, and De Weiser also recommended it, but Lyon is a well-known black shop. As the shopkeeper of another black shop, Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu doesn't like being hacked He is black, so he is indifferent to Benzema.

And Ye Qiu has always had a feeling that Benzema is undoubtedly a genius, and it can even be said that apart from his speed and explosive power, he really has the shadow of Ronaldo, but Ye Qiu doesn't like Benzema very much because he is too Expensive.

However, Ye Qiu didn't know that Ferguson had directly asked David Gill to finalize several transfers after this match, and there were many transfers that surprised Ye Qiu.
