Chapter 666 The ball is in again!

"Oh, Tottenham Hotspur's offensive is here again"

"Evans made a mistake in passing, Messi intercepted the ball, passed it to Cavani in a diagonal way, and ran to the middle."

"Cavani knocked back, Messi received the ball, Tottenham Hotspur's advancement was very fast, and then passed to Ribery at the front of the penalty area."

Ribery was very smart. He chose to dribble the ball to the left of the penalty area. Because he saw that Manchester United players were all back to defend in the penalty area, he chose to go to the side to pull up Manchester United's defensive formation, and also attracted Rafael and Ferdinand to the left.

To be honest, if one-on-one, Manchester United is not at ease with letting Raphael deal with Ribery alone.

But as soon as Ribery took the ball, he immediately passed the ball to the front of the penalty area, giving Messi to the left side of the arc, who pulled his left foot.

"Arc ball, the ball is in"

"A curve shot from Messi, Tottenham Hotspur's trident in the frontcourt, three-for-four, broke through Manchester United's goal again. This is simply to completely capture Old Trafford Stadium, 40."

Andy Grey was indescribable insanity. He felt that all the blood in his body was activated by Tottenham Hotspur's attacks one after another. He felt that his whole body was now boiling, and he had the urge to cheer loudly and cheer wildly.

"40 four goals, Manchester United, Manchester United, what's going on? It's only less than twenty-three minutes in the first half, you're actually four goals behind. This is the rhythm of being slaughtered by Tottenham Hotspur."

Richard Kees also seemed very excited from the side, "I can only say that the pressure given by Tottenham Hotspur is indeed too great. Cavani forced Ferdinand and Evans in the front, midfielders Ramsey and Vidal pinched Manchester United's pass route, and Ribery and Messi, no matter how they pass, the routes available are very small."

"Evans's kick was indeed not good, but we have to consider that if he doesn't give it, he may be intercepted by Cavani, which is definitely a fatal mistake. If you pass the ball forward, whether it is to Carrick or Las Diyala, there are great risks, and the distance between them is a bit large."

Andy Grey nodded, "Yes, if you pass a long time, you basically give the ball to Tottenham Hotspur, so Evans chose to be assigned to the wing, but no one expected that this pass would become the beginning of Tottenham Hotspur's counterattack."

"The current situation is very unfavorable to Manchester United." Richard Keith also seemed helpless. "The four goals are behind. Although the game is still more than an hour, the blow to the morale and fighting spirit of Manchester United players is really too big, and Tottenham Hotspur's condition has indeed been adjusted well in this game."

"Look at the midfielders in this game, Vidal, Ramsey and Pirlo, they didn't seem to be working together for the first time. They seemed to be very tacit and responded in time to shout and respond. It's obvious that they had been practicing together for a long time before this game, and the communication between them was very smooth."

"It should be said that Manchester United's strength has indeed declined a lot, especially Vidic's absence, Ferdinand and Evans' central defender combination problem is too serious, and there is a lack of a person in the midfield who can hold the ball. After the current and backcourts are widened, there is a lack of an effective transition."

"We noticed Pirlo's data. His game was very easy. His passing success rate has so far been 100%. There is another assist. It can be seen that Pirlo is indeed very comfortable in the midfield. Manchester United did not put pressure on him at this point, which made Tottenham Hotspur's offense very well organized."

The live TV footage gave Pirlo a close-up. His scheduling and sorting in the midfield in this game really showed the strength of the top midfield organizers. He made outstanding contributions whether it was offense or defense.

"I believe that after this game, AC Milan fans will regret it so much that their intestines are blue, because they found that they had sent away such an outstanding midfield organizer for nothing. Pirlo's current football accomplishment has really reached the master level. He is light in weight and is very easy to make, and he controls the rhythm to perfection in every move."

Andy Grey gave high praise to Pirlo's performance in this game, especially his passes and combing in the midfield.

"Actually, I don't think Manchester United had never thought of suppressing Pirlo, but the problem is that they can't suppress it." Richard Keess has his own other view, "You see, Pirlo has excellent technical skills. He is not afraid of you being oppressed. As long as there is a goal point, he can get the ball. As long as Manchester United oppresses Pirlo, one of Ramsey and Vidal will come back, one of the full-backs on both wings will also go up, and two central defenders will follow along. Pirlo has too many choices and can't stop it at all."

"Indeed, Tottenham Hotspur players are indeed very good in terms of running and passing and receiving. Not to mention in the Premier League, even in the entire European continent, they are second to none."

"Yes," said Richard Keith again, "Ye Qiu is a head coach who attaches great importance to touching the ball. Look, as soon as Manchester United players force a continuous touching pass, Tottenham Hotspur quickly transferred the ball out, making your forced look more like useless work and waste physical energy in vain."

"However, Tottenham Hotspur's ball control is very different from Barcelona's ball control. Barcelona's running position is more focused on series connection, while Tottenham Hotspur's running position is mainly based on penetration and advancement, so Barcelona has a lot of crosses and horizontal runs, while Tottenham Hotspur is more trying to pass vertically and straightly."

While talking, I saw Pirlo pass another diagonal long pass, from outside the arc of the middle circle, and it fell accurately to the left side of Manchester United's penalty area. Rafael and Ribery were fighting for speed, but this time Ribery failed to compete with Rafael. The Brazilian right-back steadily stuck the favorable position and kicked the ball out of bounds before Ribery.

"Tottenham Hotspur attacked very fiercely. I know there is no chance, but I still have to continue to put pressure on you. At least I have earned an out-of-bounds ball." Andy Grey was analyzing Ribery's mentality now

"Sometimes this kind of pressure will be a great stimulation for the side who is behind or the side who is at a disadvantage, because they will feel very annoyed and frustrated. In addition, when the fan atmosphere is stimulated, it is easy to make some unsatisfactory measures, let alone perform abnormally."

He saw Ribery running quickly to the outside world and grab the ball, but Alba ran over at this time and signaled him to send the ball out of the outside world, so that Ribery would run over and prepare to catch the ball.

"Jordi Helba, this game replaced Marcelo, who played almost the entire game in the Copa America this summer, so at the beginning of the season, Ye Qiu arranged for Alba to start two consecutive games, and we can also see that Alba's performance is indeed very good. In this game, the old Spanish coach Bosque also sat in the stands, and it is said that he was coming to inspect Alba."

Richard Kees nodded after hearing Andy Grey's words, "Alba is from Barcelona, ​​and later went to Valencia, and was introduced by Ye Qiu at a low price. However, judging from his past performance, he is indeed very outstanding. He is small, but his feet are good, fast, and has a wide impact. He is a very good full-back."

"Ye Qiu is very interesting. He is very good at introducing players who are slightly emerging. After introducing at low prices, he has a little craftsmanship, performs well, and then sells it. In the past few seasons, Tottenham Hotspur has been a big winner in the transfer market. Almost every season's transfer market has to make tens of millions of euros, and is known as a black store among black stores."

After hearing this, Andy Grey laughed, "Didn't someone criticize Ye Qiu for taking all the money he earned in the transfer market to invest in real estate? Now Manchester United also wants to invest in real estate. There is a project around the Old Trafford Stadium. But Manchester United has no money, and Grezer can't even get the money for the transfer. How can he invest like Tottenham Hotspur?"

"I was interviewing Scudmore, CEO of the Premier League not long ago, and he said something that impressed me deeply. He said that if we evaluated the value of current Premier League teams, Tottenham Hotspur would be the most valuable team, even far exceeding Manchester United."

"I don't understand this sentence, so I asked why. He said that the properties and projects that Tottenham Hotspur have invested in over the past few years are all golden chickens that lay eggs, and the annual rent is a considerable income. Especially as the Olympics approaches, London's overall economy has basically improved, which makes the office rental market and the real estate market generally bullish."

"Skudmore expects that by summer, Tottenham Hotspur's property will be worth more than Tottenham itself, plus a Stratford stadium, which will be a very surprising number."

After hearing this, Andy Grey smiled, "I'm not surprised, because Tottenham Hotspur itself is a golden chicken that lays eggs. Look at it for half a year, I have sold Yaya Toure, Fabregas and David Silva and made more than 180 million euros, but Ye Qiu only spent 12 million euros when introducing Vidal."

"I heard that the remaining money is basically invested in some real estate projects, and over the past few years, Tottenham's profit in the transfer market has definitely been an astronomical figure, but I think there is a premise, that is Ye Qiu."

After hearing this, Richard O'Kiss loudly agreed, "As the head coach and chairman, Ye Qiu, I think he handled it very well. Although the team sells people every year, they sell people at high prices. Moreover, the team's performance has always been very stable. Although they performed poorly in the European arena in the past two seasons, they have also entered the knockout round and won the league championship."

"And according to Tottenham Hotspur's style of play this season, I think there is total hope. Of course, as long as you maintain this style of play in this game, there is a lot of hope to win the Champions League again in the next one or two years. This is a four-game winning streak this year. This is a history of four consecutive championships.

After leading four goals, Manchester United was a little frustrated, and Tottenham Hotspur also slowed down the offensive and rhythm appropriately.

This is a very effective way to fight with battles. In the game, you can get a chance to breathe and adjust the players' physical fitness through fast-paced and slow-paced switching. This set has been well-known in Tottenham Hotspur's performance in the past few seasons.

Pirlo seemed at ease in the midfield and backcourt of Tottenham Hotspur, but in fact it was not just because of his outstanding personal strength, but because the entire team of Tottenham Hotspur had a tacit understanding from front to back. Often, he only had one move and shouted, and everyone knew his thoughts and intentions.

This is because they have strong and excellent game understanding skills. They are very clear and consistent when they should be fast and when they should be slow. This makes Pirlo adjust the team's rhythm and sort out the midfield, and it also makes it easy.

As Ye Qiu has always said, controlling the rhythm of a team depends on eleven people, not

As time passed by minute by minute, Manchester United is gradually pulling Rooney back to the midfield to participate in the battle for control of the game.

Just as time entered forty minutes, the pace of the game quietly became faster again.

Alba failed to get a chance when he was driving forward. After cooperating with Ribery, he chose to take it back and knocked it back to Pirlo, who was dragging it back to Pompany, who then knocked it back to Pirlo, who then passed it back to Thiago Silva, and the Brazilian was assigned to Alves on the right.

In this continuous pass, Tottenham Hotspur quickly moved from the left to the right.

Alves dribbled the ball forward. Before Teves approached him, he passed by a diagonally to find a place with Vidal and retreated to Ramsey who was receiving the support. Carrick was behind the Welshman, so after Ramsey saw the ball coming, he knocked back Pirlo, and did not let the ball stay on his feet, and then chose to run away by himself.

Carrick followed Ramsey and left some areas slightly. Pirlo made a straight pass and gave Messi's feet behind Carrick.

With three players around the front and back, Messi stopped the ball and turned around and rushed forward, dribbled the ball directly, which was obvious that the carriage and horse were going to attack Manchester United's entire defense line alone, so Evans and Evra, who were the first to be hit, staring at Messi as if they were facing a big enemy, for fear that they would accidentally give the Argentinian another chance.

Cavani quickly approached Evans. He was obviously watching everywhere, paying attention to Manchester United's defense line, and it seemed that he was observing whether he was in an offside position. His posture was to wait for Messi to pass the ball behind him before running over to catch it. So Ferdinand didn't dare to be careless and approached Cavani as soon as possible.

But just when Ferdinand left his position a little, Raphael was trapped on the left side of the arc top by Ribery. France's scar face did not move, and Raphael did not dare to move, which led to the entire top of the arc of Manchester United's penalty area being exposed.

Messi took the ball close to Evans and Evra, and chose to pass the ball at the first time. He saw Vidal rushing up from behind in the middle of the arc top area. After stopping the ball, he adjusted and swung his right foot directly, and a powerful shot. The ball was like a shell that broke out of the chamber and penetrated into the goal behind De Gea like lightning.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

"The ball is scored again from Chile international, Arturodal's goal, 0"

"Tonight's Tottenham Hotspur was really crazy. Manchester United's entire defense line could not keep up with the rhythm and pace of Tottenham Hotspur. They were completely led by Tottenham Hotspur, and they had no choice but to find an effective way to defend the opponent's attack. They were broken again and again."

The TV broadcast was replaying in slow motion. Judging from the game process, Vidal's back insertion was indeed a bit sudden, but Manchester United's defense was indeed pulled out a lot of gap, and Ras Diyala did not return to the right place at the first time. Instead, he wanted to keep up when Vidal rushed over, but it was too late.

"Crazy Tottenham Hotspur is a crazy team. They completely captured the entire Old Trafford Stadium tonight. They definitely have a chance to celebrate their great victory in front of their mortal enemies fans."

Richard Keith was a little sad, "If you continue to play like this, Tottenham Hotspur will score a goal in the second half. I think Tottenham Hotspur's mentality and morale are better now. They play very relaxed and very confident."

The game started again, Manchester United made a mistake during a pass. Vidal scrambled Carrick and Pirlo successfully intercepted it and handed it to Alba on the wing. The latter advanced quickly and passed it to Ramsey.

Ramsey faced Rass Diyala at the outside of the penalty area, and was very calm and crossed the ball with an easy pass. Messi rushed up quickly from behind, and the goal headed the ball back to the penalty area with the right post.

"Dangerous" Andy Grey exclaimed.

But this time, De Gea finally made an excellent save, snatched the ball that Messi had returned in advance, and before Cavani, he shot out of the penalty area with one punch, resolving the crisis of scoring.

Tottenham's tide offensive made Manchester United's defense seem riddled with holes, and in front of the goal there was a panic of panic.

The live TV camera also gave Ferguson to the sidelines, but saw the Scottish coach sitting in the coach's seat without any expression and looking very serious. I don't know what kind of thought he is now.

Before the game started, everyone even thought that Manchester United had a great chance of winning, but who would have thought that the first half had not ended, Manchester United had already conceded five goals in a row at home.

If we continue to play at this pace, Manchester United may even encounter a tragedy similar to last season's North London derby, where Arsenal lost to Tottenham Hotspur at home in 2009. At that time, Ferguson will become the sinner in Manchester United fans' mouths, and may even resign and retire directly.

Fortunately, referee Howard Webber blew a life-saving whistle and ended the collapsed first half.
