The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 464 Same as Ye Qiu

"Gary Neville got the ball, passed it to Scholes, a long pass and found Cristiano Ronaldo!"

"Beautiful, Cristiano Ronaldo drove the ball into the penalty area, one against three, dangerous, kicked the goal!!!"

"Peter Cech flew to save the ball, a beautiful save!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo's shot was too straight, it hit Cech directly!"

"Tottenham Hotspur just pulled back a goal, but Manchester United was not to be outdone, and immediately changed colors. Cristiano Ronaldo's personal ability is still quite strong. Facing the opponent's three defensive players alone, there is nothing Fear, he just relied on his personal ability to get a chance to hit the goal in the penalty area."

When the on-site commentator spoke highly of Cristiano Ronaldo, Cruyff on the side shook his head, "At that time, he attracted the defensive attention of three players by himself, but he didn't notice the two behind him. All teammates, be it Berbatov or Carlos Tevez, are obviously in a better position than him, but he chooses to hit the goal himself."

Mourinho also felt the same way, "Hitting the goal by himself was the worst choice, because at that time the three defensive players had already blocked the angle of the goal. At this time, he barely kicked, and Cech blocked the only one. So we would think that it was Cristiano Ronaldo's shot that was too direct, but in fact he had only this choice!"

"It can also be seen from this point that Cristiano Ronaldo is a little impatient. I don't know if this is his personal feeling or the collective feeling of Manchester United. If all Manchester United players think so, then the situation is not good. !” Cruyff also analyzed the psychology of Manchester United.

The on-site commentator asked with a smile: "Is this the pressure that Tottenham Hotspur puts on the opponent?"

"Of course!" Cruyff nodded, "Actually, during a game, we can all find that both sides are under the same pressure, and this pressure will change with each other's performance, as if We thought it might be a big victory in the first half, because Manchester United could play more relaxed after 3-0, while Tottenham Hotspur was crushed by the pressure, so it might be a big victory. Big win!"

"But now the situation has been reversed, Tottenham Hotspur firmly took the initiative at the beginning of the second half, and they kept using the backcourt to torture Manchester United's players and wear down their spirit and morale. .”

"I think if a game is compared to a duel, and the ball is the only weapon that can kill each other, then you can try to think about it, if this weapon that can kill you anytime, anywhere, has always been used. How would you feel if your opponent held it in your hand? Especially when you accidentally got stabbed by your opponent, would you be afraid? Would you be in a hurry? Even, anxious to regain the weapon return?"

Mourinho felt that Cruyff's description was very appropriate, "Ferguson should have realized the problem now, Park Ji-sung and Giggs are going to play, I don't know who he plans to replace?"

"This is a difficult choice. Manchester United's lineup for this game has been carefully considered, just like the frontcourt. Cristiano Ronaldo is the chief scorer and cannot move. Carlos Tevez has an obvious pressing effect in the frontcourt. The only one who can move is Berbatov, but the question is, without Berbatov, how will the team's offense play?"

"There is also a midfielder. Hargreaves' sweeping has ensured Carrick's safety, and Scholes' ability to pass the ball has ensured the quality of the team's midfield pass. The trio is the most ideal. If you want to change Giggs, how to adjust?"

"I think Ferguson should not be in a hurry. After all, Manchester United's lineup has matured after a season of running-in. Specifically, it is about the players. It is not a very wise choice to make major changes too hastily. It is more like The choice he made after being cornered by the opponent is like Ye Qiu changing two people in midfield."

While they were talking, the game did not stop at all. Tottenham Hotspur still adopted the tactical play after the opening of the second half. Attack.

Fabregas just saw the opportunity. He noticed that Van Persie was between Ferdinand and Vidic. The gap between the two central defenders was a bit wide, so after Fabregas got the ball, he directly made an overhead pass and landed on the spot. Just at the front of Manchester United's penalty area, and as long as Van Persie rushes forward, it is an opportunity.

Ferdinand's reaction is also very fast, his physical fitness is also very good, and he has rich experience. He blocked Van Persie with his body at the first time, and directly fought with strength. After suppressing Van Persie, when the ball came, he directly headed it. Hargreaves, but before Hargreaves stopped the ball, Arshavin came out from the side and made a hook.

The Russian's speed is very fast and his reaction ability is also very strong. As soon as he hooked the ball, he immediately led to the center, while Van Persie leaned to the left at the first time, and directly pulled Ferdinand away for Arshavin.

At this time, Ferdinand had no choice. If he didn't follow Van Persie, then Arshavin must pass into the penalty area. Van Persie would go in alone, so he chose to follow Van Persie and let Vidic watch and defend Arshavin.

However, the distance between Vidic and Ferdinand was a bit large before. At this time, he reacted and quickly rushed to the left side of the arc of the penalty area, standing still, trying to block Asavin.

But what Vidic didn't expect was that Arshavin made a fake move to break through from the left side. After tricking Vidic into losing his center of gravity, he passed the ball from his right side, and Messi passed the ball from the top of the penalty area. He rushed up, got ahead of Carrick, and pushed the ball directly. The ball went from the goalkeeper Van der Sar's hands into the lower right corner of the goal, 2:3!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The on-site commentator uttered an almost suffocating shout, and all the fans in the audience were silent for two or three seconds, and then there was a thunderous cheer.

"Messi! Leo? Messi, in the 64th minute, once again knocked on Manchester United's goal. After a very wonderful frontcourt press, he stole the ball and counterattacked. A wonderful pass from Russian star Arshavin. Messi for Todt Naham Hotspur scored the second goal!!!”

"My God, the situation has turned around. Now the score is 2:3. Tottenham Hotspur saw the hope of equalizing the score again. Manchester United played too passively after the start. This goal is completely Manchester United's own. Mistakes, especially Hargreaves, stopped the ball too carelessly, completely without consideration of Arshavin behind him!"

I saw that everyone in Tottenham Hotspur, including the staff on the coaching bench and the substitute players on the bench, rushed out of their seats and rushed to the sidelines as soon as they saw Messi scoring a goal. Huge cheers and cheers.

"All the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the audience are chanting Messi's name, 2:3, there are still nearly half an hour, Tottenham Hotspur still have a chance, as long as they score another goal, they will We were able to equalize the score!!" The commentators on the scene also began to change their tune a bit, because with the current situation of Tottenham Hotspur, who dares to say that there is no chance?
After Messi's goal, he stood in place to celebrate, and was soon surrounded by swarming teammates, but soon, he shook off his teammates, rushed into the Manchester United penalty area, and fished the ball from the goal line , run back quickly.

"Tottenham Hotspur's game desire and fighting spirit are very strong. Now they are more confident and more fighting. Now it is Manchester United who are beaten in a bit of a mess!"

Mourinho nodded and said: "In fact, football games are like this. All players and even the head coach rely on the feedback on the field, so many times we adapt to the situation and it is difficult to reverse the situation. Therefore, those who are stronger It is often difficult for a weak team to beat a strong team, because it is difficult for them to create a favorable situation when their strength is at a disadvantage."

"Manchester United did this very well in the first half. They scored consecutive goals because they suppressed Tottenham Hotspur in the situation, but the half-time break changed everything. Now Ye Qiu has adjusted. Well, the situation changed completely in the second half, if Ferguson fails to block the momentum of Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United will be in danger!"

While talking, Manchester United made a substitution immediately after kick-off.

"Ferguson is going to replace Park Ji-sung and Ryan Giggs, who will be replaced?" the on-site commentator was talking.

The fourth official on the sidelines immediately raised the jersey number electronic board, and saw that No. 9 and No. 4 were clearly written on it.

"Hey, Ferguson actually replaced No. [-] Berbatov and No. [-] Owen Hargreaves. What's going on?" Even the on-site commentator was a little puzzled.

Hargreaves' performance in this game is actually not bad. If you don't count the mistake that caused the teammate to concede the ball too carelessly just now, his performance in the whole game is remarkable. The first goal He's done so well, he didn't even make any mistakes, and if it wasn't for his timely positioning, Tottenham Hotspur would have won a corner.

"I don't understand, I don't know what Ferguson is going to do?"

Mourinho understood Ferguson's character better, "He's competing with Ye Qiu, he's a bit angry!"

When Cruyff heard this, he also laughed, "I'm really a little angry. You, Ye Qiu, used the attack to turn the situation around. Then I will stick to the attack to kill you. Let's see who can attack who!"

The three narrators laughed lightly, apparently amused by Ferguson's childish temper.

"Actually, the team is an extension of the willpower of the head coach, and the style of the team often depends on the personality of the head coach, so we see that Tottenham Hotspur is more tactful and always insists on attacking football, while Manchester United is more tactful. It’s about practicality, but a lot of times Manchester United’s performance on the pitch is just like Ferguson’s personality.”

"Arrogant and unreasonable!" Cruyff dared not say, but Mourinho was not polite.

The three of them laughed again. Ferguson's character does have this aspect of the problem, even Mourinho himself has it.

"But sometimes, Ferguson's temper made him suffer a lot!" Cruyff laughed.

It's as if the substitution this time was a bit of a prank, and no one knows what the effect will be.

"We have noticed that Tottenham Hotspur seem to be adjusting!" The commentator's eyes were sharp.

"Yes, they are also adjusting according to the adjustment of Manchester United. The backcourt returned to the four-back formation, and the midfield was three players. Arshavin still played the midfielder. Van Persie and Messi played double strikers to form a new trident. combination."

"Ye Qiu seems to be waving at his players and making detailed arrangements, as if asking the two central defenders to pay attention to Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese has now moved to the center."

Both sides made substitutions one after another, especially Manchester United, who changed two players, while Tottenham Hotspur adjusted the team's formation, full-backs returned to the defense, and Mascherano returned to the center. In this field, the adjustments of both teams have brought some adjustment periods. During this process, neither team has been able to play an effective offense.

Although the offense failed to pose a threat, this does not mean that the game was dull. After all, as Tottenham stimulated and revived its offensive firepower, Manchester United was also on the point of attack, adopting aggressive tactics without showing weakness. The game was very open and the rhythm was fast. The game process was very enjoyable for the fans in the stands and in front of the TV.

And with Manchester United's Park Ji-sung playing, Tottenham Hotspur's backcourt possession has been weakened, and Tottenham Hotspur's ball possession time can no longer be like the beginning of the second half. In the first 25 minutes of the second half, Tottenham Naham Hotspur's possession rate is as high as 65%, which is an amazing possession time, especially against a strong team like Manchester United.

The ball possession rate has declined, but it has not fallen too far, and it is still maintained at around 60%. After all, Tottenham Hotspur should play more patiently now, rather than rushing with Manchester United's impatience.

On the other hand, Manchester United, with Giggs on the field, Park Ji-sung replaced Berbatov, their style is doomed to be quick, especially Evra on the left, who actively advances to form a cooperation with Giggs , and soon after the adjustment was over, a dangerous situation was created.

In a counterattack, Evra dribbled the ball from the left and passed it to Giggs. The two plus Scholes immediately attracted the attention of Tottenham Hotspur's defenders, but Giggs Suddenly a diagonal passed into the restricted area.

Cristiano Ronaldo rushed into the penalty area quickly. After seeing the ball coming, he blocked Thiago Silva with his body, aimed at the ball, stopped, and wanted to get the ball down. Complete a powerful volley, this is Cristiano Ronaldo's signature lore.

But Thiago Silva entangled the Portuguese tightly, which directly caused Cristiano Ronaldo to stop the ball too much, and the ball lost his control, and Thiago Silva took the opportunity to suddenly step forward , directly broke the ball, and then rushed forward with the ball.

But Cristiano Ronaldo was a little unwilling after losing the ball. He quickly caught up from behind, desperately trying to hold Thiago Silva, but failed, so he made a shovel from behind and directly Will Thiago? Silva knocked to the ground.

This obviously malicious foul immediately aroused the anger of the Tottenham Hotspur players. Mascherano, who was the closest, rushed up immediately and yelled at Cristiano Ronaldo. It looked like an angry pampas lion.

The Manchester United players also rushed up immediately, blocking the angry Tottenham Hotspur players, and Cristiano Ronaldo who was yelling at the Tottenham Hotspur players. The Portuguese obviously felt that his actions were completely ineffective The problem, the problem is this bunch of damn London players.

"This is indeed a very dangerous tackle from behind, a very irrational behavior, because if they are sent off with a red card at this time, Manchester United will be completely at an absolute disadvantage. For Tottenham Hotspur, it is undoubtedly absolute. Great opportunity!"

Cruyff nodded in agreement with the commentator's analysis, "This also has a lot to do with Manchester United's consistent style. Ferguson even indulged Cristiano Ronaldo's temper a little bit. The team's offense almost revolved around him. , gave him the power to fire unlimited fire, causing his personal desire for performance to go a little too far."

The referee Michel quickly ran to the scene of the incident, separated the players of the two teams, hesitated again and again, and finally gave Cristiano Ronaldo a yellow card, gave him a stern warning, and at the same time appeased Thomas Turnham Hotspur's group of disgruntled players.

"This is also a referee's art of law enforcement. After all, the situation is so fierce now. If a Manchester United player is suddenly sent off, especially the most important scorer, Cristiano Ronaldo, the weakening of Manchester United is very fatal. , especially considering that Ferguson has changed players twice, so he chose a yellow card and a warning, hoping to make the Portuguese restrain his temper."

Mourinho thought of another level, "I now feel that most of the pressure has fallen on Manchester United. From 3:0 being chased to 3:2, as long as one more goal is conceded, the final result may be Rewriting, this is a huge pressure on everyone at Manchester United, so Cristiano Ronaldo's loss of control is not just as simple as his inability to control his temper, but also a manifestation of Manchester United's pressure."

"On the contrary, Tottenham Hotspur still has enough time. Their fighting spirit is high. Although they consume a lot of energy, they have a stronger desire to win, especially after chasing two goals in a row. This desire has completely defeated the body. fatigue, and they have gotten used to the rhythm of Manchester United and firmly grasped the situation, so they are more confident and more patient!"

The situation, advantages, and even goals of the game are all accumulated on the pitch. There are no goals for no reason, no advantages for no reason, and there will be no pie that suddenly falls from the sky. Let you have endless possession of the ball, and those are all accumulated by you bit by bit, from every detail.

Now, Tottenham Hotspur have accumulated their own advantages, and everyone is obviously more confident. It depends on whether they can knock on Manchester United's goal again at the last critical moment.

If they can chase three goals in a row, finally equalize the score, and drag the game into overtime, with Manchester United's mental state at that time, the best chance of winning may be Tottenham Hotspur!

Obviously, Ferguson also realized this, but he was thinking hard about countermeasures, because he found that the situation was a bit beyond his expectation, and he couldn't control the psychology of the team and players.

Just like Ye Qiu in the first half!
