Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 124 With the addition of new members, Manchester United faced Tottenham again, scoring a goal in the first 11 seconds!

On January 1, in the fourth round of the FA Cup, Manchester United played against Yeovil, a League Two team.

In the end, Manchester United won the game 4-0 with an all-substitute lineup, and it was even Faria who directed the game on the spot.

Time flies by, another four days have passed, and it is one hour before the winter window transfer period ends.

Manchester United's official website signed David Luiz and Kovacic at the buzzer for 3500 million euros and 3900 million euros respectively, which did not even reach the expected amount.

As for Umtiti and Evans, because they could not reach an agreement, Manchester United finally had no choice but to give up.

Manchester United held a simple welcome meeting. David Luiz is an old acquaintance of Matic, so basically there is not much running-in required.

As for Kovacic, his personality is also very cheerful.

By the way, his idol is Modric, but if he can't play in Real Madrid, he will only waste his youth in vain.

Real Madrid originally wanted to loan him to Inter Milan, but he would rather go to the Premier League, where the level of competition is higher. When Manchester United made an offer, he would naturally choose to agree.

Before, Kovacic was a little uneasy about the unknown.

However, after arriving at the Carrington training base, he found that his Manchester United teammates were not only handsome, but also spoke nicely.

Especially the Chinese named Chu Feng, whose serious attitude during training is not too similar to him.

The two quickly became familiar with each other, and Kovacic took the opportunity to integrate into the team. He recalled the dark days at Real Madrid and thought that he was in the right place.

The next day.

Manchester United embark on a journey to London with a brand new squad, their destination is White Hart Lane.

As the famous "devil's home court", it has suppressed too many teams.

Since the inception of the Premier League, Liverpool have won just twice and city rivals Arsenal only three.

The most pitiful thing is Manchester United. They have been plagued by the "Curse of White Hart Lane" and it was not until April 2003 that they defeated Tottenham here for the first time.

But Chelsea love White Hart Lane.

Because they have been undefeated for 18 years, it is no exaggeration to say that White Hart Lane is their home stadium.

Moreover, Tottenham have started a renovation and reconstruction plan. Today is the last time Tottenham will play at White Hart Lane. Next, Tottenham's home court will be temporarily moved to Wembley Stadium.

So the number of people watching today's game has exceeded 37,000, and the stands on all sides are packed with Tottenham fans wearing white jerseys.

They want to witness Tottenham defeat Manchester United and leave the final glory to White Hart Lane.

In the player tunnel at this time.

Sun Xingmin stared at Chu Feng in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a great sense of crisis. He was not the main player a few months ago, but now he has put on the Manchester United No. 7 jersey that symbolizes heritage, and his personal number of Premier League goals has reached 18. .

Recently, he has developed a bad habit of paying attention to Chu Feng's statistics after each league round, and even watching the highlights of Manchester United games.

Although he clearly knew that this would affect his mentality, he just couldn't help it.

Soon, under the leadership of the referee, the players from both sides walked out of the tunnel.

The drill was introduced with endless white, and a giant TIFO was spread out in the south stand.

A big proud rooster steps on a football.

Also written underneath is "Harry Hotspur", a character in Shakespeare's "Henry IV" who owned an estate in Tottenham, north London.

Oh, and there's a fighting cock.

The name and crest of Tottenham Hotspur comes from this.

Chu Feng suddenly realized after seeing it.

No wonder Harry Kane, who played 416 games with 267 goals and 62 assists but no championship, did not leave easily, but stuck to it for several years.

To be honest, Chu Feng admires him a lot, but he probably couldn't do it himself. Harry Kane listened to the cheers of the fans and strengthened his belief in filling Tottenham's empty honors room with trophies.

"Good evening, viewers, and welcome to the 2017th round of the 18-25 Premier League season."

"Tottenham vs. Manchester United!"

"Manchester United currently tops the league standings, with a 13-point gap with Tottenham, so Manchester United players should have a certain psychological advantage."

"For Tottenham, this is a "three key battle". If they lose this game, they will be surpassed by Arsenal."

"Okay, now let me introduce you to the starting lineups of the two teams."

"Wearing white jerseys, Tottenham is attacking from left to right. Pochettino formed a 4-2-3-1 formation. The goalkeeper:."

"Tottenham's frontcourt has not changed much, but their defense has been greatly strengthened. They spent 4200 million euros to sign Davinson Sanchez from Ajax."

"This 21-year-old Colombian star not only has comprehensive defensive skills, but also has excellent ball-playing ability."

"Looking at Manchester United's starting lineup, it is also a 4-2-3-1 formation. The goalkeeper:."

"After Mkhitaryan moved to Arsenal, Manchester United had a vacancy in the attacking midfielder position."

"According to past situations, Matic and Herrera should be paired with a double midfielder, with Pogba as the first priority, but the effect in the game was not good."

"So Mourinho chose to let Lingard play as an attacking midfielder. He gave up the frontcourt organization and used Lingard's running to disrupt the opponent's defense and create offensive space for Chu Feng and Lukaku."

"Okay, the game has started -"

Zhan Jun's voice stopped suddenly. He had just finished reading the starting lists of the two teams. Why did he look up and the score became 0-1?

The goal began to be replayed on the screen.

Lukaku kicked the ball back to Phil Jones, and then Manchester United's formation quickly pressed forward and rushed towards Tottenham's penalty area.

Seeing a good opportunity, Phil Jones made a long pass directly from the backcourt.

The football spun and fell towards the edge of the penalty area.

Lukaku carried Vertonghen's header and sailed into the penalty area. Lingard's follow-up shot was bravely blocked by Lori.

The football bounced back to the left side of the penalty area again and landed in front of Manchester United's No. 7.

Chu Feng didn't have any thinking process at all. He jumped in front of Sanchez and stabbed him hard, directly through the door guarded by Lori.

The time in the upper left corner of the screen is frozen at 11 seconds.

11 seconds!

At White Hart Lane, the crows and magpies were silent.

Before the fans of the two teams entered the state of watching the game, they seemed to be struck by lightning and were so numb that they could not move.

The hot dog someone was holding stopped at his mouth, and the zipper of someone's down jacket stopped halfway.

Chu Feng couldn't care less, he ran tens of meters excitedly and fell to his knees passionately.

Sometimes luck can't be stopped when it comes.

However, if he had stopped when Lingard shot and did not choose to follow up and enter the penalty area, this goal would definitely not have been possible.

“Opportunities are not something you wait for, but are earned.”

He now understands the meaning of this sentence more deeply.

The Manchester United players also ran over frantically to join in the celebration.

This may be their easiest game of the season.

Only Phil Jones stayed there stupidly. He thought about countless possibilities before passing the ball, but he really didn't expect to score.
