The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 481

When Tottenham Hotspur chose to travel to Asia, and when many wealthy teams chose to travel to North America, Manchester United chose to travel to Africa.

But there is an obvious problem. Manchester United's trip to Africa is not perfect. Of course, if incompleteness is also a kind of beauty, then it is another matter, but at least Ferguson will definitely not be satisfied.

Not to mention the poor results in the warm-up match, the bumpy and tiring schedule, and the team's top star Cristiano Ronaldo injured his ankle in a warm-up match in Africa and was also sent to the operating table, but his condition is worse than that of Ribéry It is much lighter, and it is estimated that it will be able to return to the game in mid-September.

The absence of cristiano ronaldo has left ferguson feeling a little awkward for this community shield game, especially up front, and after the champions league final he is well aware that tottenham may take Especially after David Silva joins, Ye Qiu's tactics will become more mature.

The defense line is not a big problem. Van der Sar is still the starting goalkeeper. Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand and Gary Neville have no big problems in the defense line, but there are many problems in the midfield. Greaves and Carrick, the two main midfielders of last season, are currently injured.

In the end, Ferguson played out the midfield combination of Fletcher, O'Shea and Scholes, but he no longer dared to play Berbatov in the frontcourt. The Bulgarian handsome brother on the field made Tottenham Hotspur The ball possession rate was as high as 65%, which made Ferguson hate him, and he still has lingering fears.

So, after thinking hard, Ferguson came up with the combination of Giggs, Carlos Tevez and Park Ji-sung.

Compared with Manchester United's lineup, Tottenham Hotspur's lineup is also problematic. After all, apart from Ribery's absence due to injury, there are still four players in the team who are going to participate in the Olympic Games, so this game The starting lineup of Tottenham Hotspur in the game was also very embarrassing.

Petr Cech in goal, Arbeloa, Ziglinski, Thiago Silva and Alves in defense, David Silva, Yaya Toure and Fabrega in midfield The combination of Gareth Bale, Robin van Persie and Cavani in the frontcourt.

Judging from Tottenham Hotspur's formation, everyone can see that Ye Qiu still has no reservations and wants to adopt a proactive offensive style of play. After all, Hangeland is gone. , Kompany went to the Olympics again, Tottenham Hotspur's midfielder was indeed a little tight, but Ye Qiu quietly introduced Ziglinski from Ukraine.

In the coaching bench of the home team at Wembley Stadium, holding Tottenham Hotspur's starting list in his hands, Ferguson couldn't let go of his brows, "Mike, what is this Ziglinski?"

Mike Phelan, who used to be a player of Manchester United, entered the coaching echelon after retiring. In 2001, McLaren was promoted to the first team after leaving Manchester United. Ferguson really couldn't find an assistant, so he promoted him.

Being Ferguson's assistant is not an easy task. This old Scottish man has a bad personality and likes to mess around with the hair dryer, and he has almost stopped intervening in training. Therefore, being his assistant has to do a lot of things, such as being in charge of team training, Let the players meet Ferguson's game requirements, but also help him wipe his ass and deal with some aftermath of turning on the hair dryer indiscriminately.

"Shakhtar Donetsk from Ukraine. I collected a lot of information and game videos from the player database. His ability to take and play the ball is not weak. His defense is good at anticipation and one-on-one. His ability should not be weak. , is said to be called the Beckenbauer of Ukraine by the Ukrainians."

"Beckenbauer?" Ferguson laughed after hearing this, but his smile was a bit playful, and people couldn't tell that it was because Ukraine was a small country with few people, and he had never seen the world, so he casually gave his favorite players Put on a big hat?Or, does he think the characteristics of this central defender are very interesting?

"Then how do you feel after watching the video in the player database?" Ferguson asked again.

"It's not bad. The passing ability is really good, and the defense is relatively stable, but there are also common problems with this type of players. They are afraid of being entangled with smart forwards." Mike Phelan said with a smile.

Ferguson nodded. He didn't have the slightest doubt about the information in the player database.

Although the player database belongs to Ye Qiu's industry, it is two completely different companies from Tottenham Hotspur. As for the player database, the foundation of their survival in the football field is fairness and rigor. If they prefer Tottenham Hotspur, then they can't even hope to survive in this industry.

This is like the OPTA data company that was acquired by Ye Qiu's brokerage company not long ago. It used to belong to Sky TV, but their data was sold all over the world, including many potential competitors of Sky TV. They all sold it. Because they are an independent company.

This summer, Ye Qiu's agency also acquired the production team of FM Football Manager, announcing that it will absorb the advantages of this game in terms of player data, improve the use of the database and user experience, and the game will also use the database The rigor of the company further strengthens its own core data and enhances its selling points.

After all, in the past, the player data of the game was collected by amateur fans, but now it is collected and analyzed by professional scouts. Naturally, the selling point is different, but for the player database, the most important thing is to improve the user experience, and the game is just taking care of it.

But numbers are still numbers, and the player data in the database cannot represent the living player standing in front of you, because the data is dead, but people are alive, and living people are always full of unknowns.

There is one thing that Ferguson is very worried about, that is, I heard that this central defender named Ziglinski only participated in three Tottenham Hotspur training sessions before Ye Qiu arranged him into the main starting list. When Toure plays central defender and performs well, does Ziglinski really have the strength to play the main force?
Ferguson didn't dare to be careless about this at all. At the very least, no one dared to underestimate Ye Qiu's ability to discover new talents.

Tottenham Hotspur's start was not conservative at all. Ye Qiu's team took the lead in attacking Manchester United amidst the cheers of [-] fans in the packed Wembley Stadium.

After the kick-off, it was passed directly to the backcourt, but Thiago Silva quickly diverted it with a diagonal pass and passed it to the right side of the frontcourt to Cavani. After the Uruguayan blocked Evra with his body, he stopped He held the ball and passed it back to Alves who plugged in.

After the Brazilian right back got the ball, he quickly cut from the right to the middle, but when he wanted to cooperate with Cesc Fabregas, O'Shea destroyed it and passed it directly to the front after stealing the ball.

Tevez held the ball in the front court, but he just stopped, but saw Ziglinski block Tevez with his body and interfere with his turn, and Tevez was disturbed for a while, when he turned The ball was a bit big, Yaya Toure jumped out from behind quickly, intercepted the ball and passed it back to Thiago Silva, the ball was still at the feet of Tottenham Hotspur.

After losing the ball, Tevez rushed towards Thiago Silva fiercely, but the Brazilian pulled a little closer to the right side. When Tevez approached, he passed directly to the left side. Ziglinski was steady Steadily stop the ball and move forward. When Park Ji-sung also rushed over, he passed it to Yaya Toure, and Yaya Toure quickly split to the left. Arbeloa got the ball forward and continued to dribble forward. .

"Tottenham Hotspur's continuous inversion in the midfield is very smooth, skillful, and fast. This team has a strong desire to attack. As long as they seize the opportunity, they will want to launch. Attack." The on-site commentator analyzed.

This time after Arbeloa passed the midfield, he did not go to Gareth Bale, but gave it to David Silva in the middle. In the 30-meter area of ​​Manchester United, Van Persie also retreated from the front, seemingly trying to meet David Silva.

After Tottenham Hotspur entered the key area, Manchester United's defense immediately moved. After being pulled, the focus was naturally on the ball, but just when everyone thought that David Silva would play with Van Persie and Fabregas When looking for cooperation, the Spaniard suddenly sent a through ball, which went directly to the bottom line on the left side of the penalty area.

Gareth Bale was very fast. He used his speed to crush Gary Neville. He got a chance on the left and passed the ball directly with his left foot. However, the pass was a bit high and floating. The point is at the back point, and Cavani who followed was just a head shake, but Van der Sar steadily blocked the angle of the shot, and Cavani's header was also high.

"Tottenham Hotspur took the lead in hitting the first shot of the game. Gareth Bale's breakthrough on the left was very fast. Gary Neville was a bit struggling. After all, one was only a teenager, and Gary Neville Weir is 33 years old, and Gareth Bale's sprint is more dominant."

With the first shot, Tottenham Hotspur firmly controlled the ball and the game, but Manchester United was not reconciled to losing the initiative like this. The Red Devils did not adopt a conservative strategy. Choose to press out and grab.

Ferguson knew very well in his heart that once the combination of Vidic and Ferdinand retracted and faced dexterous offensive players in the penalty area, their weaknesses would be exposed, and they lost Hargreaves and Cary in the midfield In the case of Ke, he was not sure that the team's midfielder could prevent Tottenham Hotspur from passing the ball into the penalty area.

In the case of being unable to prevent Tottenham Hotspur from passing the ball into the penalty area, adopting a shrinking defense is simply asking for death. Thorn entanglement.

And Tottenham Hotspur didn't seem to be conservative either. The three players in the frontcourt all pressed very high. Once Tottenham Hotspur got the ball, they were almost close to Manchester United's defense, and Ye Qiu obviously wanted to Cavani's attack on the right was used to suppress Evra's insertion, so after the opening, Tottenham played hard on the right.

But if you think that Tottenham Hotspur is going to focus on attacking the right side just because of this, you are wrong. They often make a sudden big-foot transfer, just like Alves is doing now. The right is too dense, there is no chance, a big kick directly, and the ball is transferred to the left.

After Arbeloa stopped the ball with his chest, he quickly moved forward and passed the ball to Gareth Bell. Gary Neville kept close to Gareth Bell to prevent him from stopping the ball and turned around. Gareth Si Bell obviously couldn't hold the ball smoothly under Gary Neville's close body, so he stopped the ball directly to David Silva.

Just now, because Tottenham Hotspur focused on attacking the right, Cesc Fabregas leaned to the right, so David Silva was close to the center. At this time, he ran to the left. ? Neville also let go of Gareth Bale for the first time, and rushed towards David Silva, trying to form a double team.

Gareth Bell's pass was not good. If his basic skills of stopping the ball were better, he should directly give a ground ball, or simply give a high ball to David Silva. The incoming ball was diverted with a header, which was also very good, but he stopped a half-high ball, an embarrassing half-high ball.

Because it was a half-high ball, both Fletcher and Gary Neville felt that David Silva was going to lose the ball, so they formed a double team immediately, but David Silva faced the incoming ball and directly He raised his left foot and picked it up, reaching a place where neither Fletcher nor Gary Neville could reach, and took another step to catch up with another pick.

This pick directly picked the ball from between Fletcher and Gary Neville, and directly to the front of Gareth Bell. The Welshman just threw away Gary Neville. When he saw the ball coming, Immediately, he quickly chased after him, crossed to the front of the penalty area on the left side of the penalty area, and gave it to Fabregas who inserted in the back.

The latter directly passed the ball with a straight kick. Van Persie rubbed his left foot in the penalty area and shot the ball across an arc, and gently got into the goal!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

All the Tottenham Hotspur fans rushed out of their seats and cheered loudly!

"Less than 8 minutes into the game, Tottenham took the lead in knocking on Manchester United's goal, 1:0, the goal from Van Persie, Fabregas's through ball was very calm and very sharp. , almost like a scalpel, passed through the gap between Manchester United's two central defenders, it was almost the only gap, and he caught it!"

Van Persie was the first to run to Cesc Fabregas, and then all the Tottenham Hotspur fans rushed up to congratulate Van Persie on his goal, and all the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the audience were also there Shouting Van Persie's name.

"From the slow-motion playback, we can see that during the whole scoring process, I think David Silva's two consecutive kicks are also very critical. Gareth Bale's speed is very fast. Just like Lightning, but his stopping and some basic skills are indeed not as good as Ribery, so this kick is a bit big, making it difficult for the receiver to catch the ball, and David Silva simply has a quick wit and directly challenges The ball, picked Fletcher and Gary Neville, and then picked the ball to the bottom line, it is indeed a very clever pass, very creative!"

"Tottenham Hotspur played amazingly in the opening game, almost crushing Manchester United. The Red Devils didn't have a very effective way to deal with it. They were a bit passive, especially in the midfield. They couldn't block Tottenham very well. Tottenham's organization and possession!"

"It is useless if you can run. You must not only be able to run, but also be able to cut the opponent's passing and organization. But Manchester United's current situation seems to be able to run, but it cannot effectively cut Tottenham Hotspur. Organization and passing."

"Conceding a goal in just 8 minutes is really not a happy thing for Manchester United. It depends on how Ferguson adjusts. If we continue to adopt the same tactics, Manchester United will suffer a big loss in this game. !"

With the restart of the game, as the game progressed, Tottenham Hotspur quickly played a wave of offensive.

This time, after Ziglinski got the ball from the backcourt, he made a long diagonal pass directly to the ground, and transferred it to Gareth Bell in front of the left sideline. The pass was very precise and comfortable, Gareth Bell. With his back to the sideline, Bell used his speed abruptly after getting the ball, and directly rushed past Gary Neville's defense, but then made a low cross, and Van Persie volleyed in front of the goal, but the deviation was a bit outrageous.

"Tottenham Hotspur's tactics in this game have been very clear, use Cavani and Alves on the right to suppress your attack from Evra and Giggs on the left, and then use the team as a whole Pulling, creating one-on-one opportunities for Gareth Bell and Gary Neville on the left, and finally using Gareth Bell's sprint and speed to eat Gary Neville hard."

"Ye Qiu's tactics are very targeted. I don't care how strong your Manchester United is. I'll hit you one point, blow up one point of yours, and disintegrate your entire defense line. If you want to use your troops to block this point, then I will adjust the direction of attack and hit you in other positions."

"Manchester United's problem is still in the midfield. Not to mention they can't hold the ball, they can't defend it. Tottenham Hotspur can pass through the midfield too easily, and they can't give the defense strong protection. This is also related to Hager. The absence of Reeves, Carrick has something to do with it."

But Ferguson is not a fuel-efficient lamp. As Tottenham Hotspur's overall tactics gradually became clear, he also responded immediately and strengthened the team's defense through adjustments. Although the offense was sacrificed because of this, it was useless way things.

If Gareth Bale is allowed to attack the team's right flank so recklessly, what awaits Manchester United will be threat after goal. Maybe once or twice can be defended. If there are too many times, sooner or later Goal scored again.

After Ferguson made adjustments, Ye Qiu did not adjust the team's tactics. Instead, he asked the players to stay steady, maintain patience, and continue to use the tactical play after the opening game, because he knew very well that as long as the two wings of Manchester United were contained, the overall pressure Manchester United, in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, United's attacking threat is not much.

The point is, with Manchester United adopting such a tactic, as the game progresses, the physical fitness of several veterans in the team will be even worse. By then, Tottenham Hotspur's advantage will be more obvious, especially Gareth Bale and Gary Neville's side is enough to kill Ferguson!

At certain times, the tactics don't need to be varied. If you hit a snake and hit seven inches, you can directly blow him up as long as you hit his vital parts.
