spn Before the start of the Champions League semi-finals, Manchester United still has to go through a Premier League series. The opponent is not weak. Tottenham led by Lao Lei will challenge Manchester United away from home in the 34th round.
A focus battle is about to begin. Ferguson's intention to score three points at home has become very obvious. Li Yu and Rooney will appear on the team's front line. Ronaldo will return to his familiar wing. The three killers will appear together.
Ferguson's intentions have been exposed in the starting lineup.
Tottenham must have a deep understanding of how powerful the Red Devils are.
Domestic fans in China always like to call Tottenham led by Lao Lei a nerve-wrecking team. If they play well, they can do whatever they want. If they don't play well, it's not uncommon for them to collapse by a big score. It all depends on who can take the lead.
Manchester United remains unbeaten with 13 wins and 5 draws in the past 18 meetings between the two sides. The last time Tottenham won at Old Trafford dates back to 1989, when Lineker scored the only goal. Later, Manchester United won at Old Trafford.
They have played 21 home games against Tottenham with 17 wins and 4 draws and remain unbeaten. The two sides have met in 33 Premier League games in history. Manchester United has an absolute advantage with 23 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses, including 13 wins and 3 draws at home.[
There have been 168 historical encounters between the two sides, with Manchester United having the upper hand with 77 wins, 45 draws and 46 losses. Giggs, who is about to play for Manchester United for the 800th time, is absent from this game. Rafael, Ferdinand, Carrick and Nani have taken turns to win the chance to start.
Both sides played a fast-paced game at the beginning, and neither team held back. It was an offensive battle from the beginning. Rafael and Rooney passed the ball continuously, but Tottenham goalkeeper Gomez confiscated it before Li Yu.
In the 8th minute, Lennon made a pass from the right, and Darren Bent's header from the left edge of the penalty area hit the side net. Tottenham's offense mostly came from two wings, especially the right wing where Lennon was.
This is Tottenham's main attack direction now.
In the 10th minute, Rafael made a pass from the right, and Rooney missed a header from the edge of the penalty area. One minute later, Rooney missed a long shot from 30 yards.
In the 16th minute, Carrick passed the ball, and Nani's long-range shot from 30 yards also missed.
In the 20th minute, Li Yu used a breakthrough to cause a foul by his opponent and won a free kick in front of the penalty area. Ronaldo shot directly from 30 yards. The ball was blocked by Tottenham goalkeeper Gomez and confiscated.
In the first 20 minutes, Manchester United firmly held the advantage on the field. It takes courage to attack Manchester United at Old Trafford. It not only requires courage, but also the consciousness to accept a big score loss.
In the 24th minute, Nani made a pass from the left, and Ronaldo's header from 10 yards only missed slightly.
In the 26th minute, Woodgate fouled Nani in front of the penalty area. Ronaldo's free kick from 25 yards was blocked by the wall. Maybe Manchester United should consider letting Li Yulai take the free kick. Ronaldo's free kick performance today was really good.
Not a compliment.
In the 27th minute, Carrick passed the ball and Rooney shot high from 25 yards from the right.
Manchester United, which had already had 7 shots, failed to open Tottenham's goal, but Tottenham took the lead in the 29th minute. Joel Luka made a pass from the right, Vidic overturned, and Darren Bent got the better of Ferdinand.
Previously, after heading the ball, he shot from outside the edge of the small penalty area and scored.
Manchester United trailed Tottenham 0:1 at home, and Tottenham's second shot blasted away Manchester United's goal. It has to be said that Tottenham's bet was right, but Manchester United was a little unlucky.
However, Manchester United's misfortune seemed not to be over yet. Just 3 minutes later, Tottenham expanded their lead again in the 32nd minute. Lennon broke through on the right and passed in. Modric shot into the near corner with his left foot from 10 yards away.
0:2, the score is not consistent with the real scene at all. Manchester United, who mainly attacked, fell behind by 2 goals.
Who would have thought that instead of taking the lead, Manchester United, which had been onslaught, would be scored twice by Tottenham. Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar was yelling angrily, and Ferguson could not sit still anymore. He rushed to the sidelines and waved vigorously.
Team members should stabilize first.
Li Yu once again stood in the center circle and was ready to kick off. He was actually a little annoyed that he had not scored a goal before. Just look at Manchester United's previous shots and you will know that almost all of them were long shots. They could have passed it again, but they chose long shots.
shot, but Li Yu himself did not take a shot. The offensive came out, but it always started but ended.
"Pass the ball more and shoot again when you have a good chance!" Li Yu finally reminded Rooney beside him before kicking off.
The little fat man looked up at Li Yu and nodded, indicating that he understood that Manchester United's attack was smooth at the beginning, and Rooney was somewhat casual. Now that he is 2 goals behind, he must cherish every opportunity to attack. In fact, Li Yu is not needed
Remind him and he will pay attention.
After losing two goals in a row, Manchester United launched a wave of offensives, but unfortunately, they were still unable to change the score. Manchester United fans were also shouting hard to cheer for the home team Manchester United. Old Trafford was completely occupied by the deafening roar of cheers.
.[
Such fans, for their sake, the Manchester United players also wanted to catch up with a goal in the first half.
The forwards began to cherish opportunities, but the defenders were still showing off their poor shooting skills.
In the 36th minute, Rafael's long shot was confiscated by the Tottenham goalkeeper again. One minute later, Woodgate fouled Ronaldo and received a yellow card. The Portuguese's free kick was blocked, and his volley was saved by Gomez.
Li Yu has been holding back his breath. No wonder he is angry. Manchester United's cooperation today has not been smooth. Li Yu was on the front line in the first half and did not get support from his teammates at all. He ran out of good positions several times, but his teammates were
Long shot was chosen.
He originally wanted to take the latest free kick, but Ronaldo didn't even give Li Yu a chance to fight for it, so he took the penalty himself.
"It's so hot!" Li Yu gasped for air. This was not because he was physically exhausted, but because he wanted to calm down with a deep breath. At this time, there should be no discordant voices in the team. The overall situation was the most important thing.
I can bear it.
Entering the final stage of the first half, Li Yu still had no chance to perform. In the first half, he almost disappeared from the court and had no chance to perform at all. In such a game, who is playing and who is not in a hurry?
In the 41st minute, Janus fouled Fletcher and was given a yellow card.
In the 45th minute, Robbie Keane passed the ball and Palacios' volley in front of the penalty area was slightly higher than the crossbar.
Manchester United seemed to be on the offensive in the first half, but no real threatening shooting opportunities appeared. They were all long-range shots and free kicks. Ferguson walked into the locker room first with a bad look on his face. The players also realized that the boss was extremely dissatisfied in the first half.
Under normal circumstances, Ferguson would stay at the door of the players' tunnel, shake hands with his starting teammates, wait until all players have entered the tunnel, and then go in last.
"Are you playing a game?" Ferguson yelled as soon as the starting players entered the door, "A Premier League game? Shit, this is an amateur game, a game played by a bunch of amateur players, shit! That's an offense,
Don’t let me see any more crappy long shots in the second half.”
"Bah!" Ferguson knocked on the tactical board angrily, and the old man's temper grew.
"There was no shot in the penalty area. What did you do on the woman's belly last night? Don't you have the strength to enter the penalty area again?"
Rooney never raised his head, and Ronaldo looked down at the floor like a child who had made a mistake.
It was the first time that Li Yu saw Ferguson angry. Compared with his own anger, it was incomparable. At this time, Ferguson was like an erupting volcano. Whoever got close to him would be in trouble. Li Yu was also honest.
He looked at his sneakers and acted like a good boy.
"Lee!! Are you a striker or a mute?"
A sudden roar made Li Yu almost slip out of his seat. It was so scary, "Boss, I'm not mute!"
"So you're a striker?"
"Yes, boss!" Li Yu never dared to raise his head to look at Ferguson. He lowered his head and spoke with a trembling voice.
"Tm, like a woman, answer my questions loudly!"
Li Yu raised her head and repeated loudly, "Boss, I am a striker, not a woman!"
"Okay, then play like a striker for me!" Ferguson then began to call out names in turn. The people who were called were all excited before they started to answer the questions.[
However, with Li Yu's experience, they all answered loudly, for fear that the old man would mistake them for women.
Rooney and Ronaldo didn't escape either. Even though they seemed to be very hot-tempered outside, they were still like little sheep against Ferguson, honest and honest.
"Since you all are what you are doing, then play well for me in the second half, use your brain to play, fall in front of the penalty area, and patiently look for opportunities. Tottenham are also lucky. What I want to say in the second half is, let Tottenham
Take away the bad luck and give me an attack!" Ferguson said all the general tactics. The only one that Ferguson focused on was Tottenham's right wing player Lennon, and Carrick would focus on defending this side.
At the beginning of the second half, Tevez replaced Nani, who also performed poorly in the first half. This gave Li Yu a little peace of mind. At first, he thought he was the one who was going to be replaced, but now it seems that the old man still left him.
It saves face, but if we don’t perform well in the second half, we won’t be sure.
Ferguson is risking his life. All the strikers are sent on the field. After the Manchester United players come out, they are not like children who have just been scolded, but more like warriors who want revenge. They appear in the stadium with murderous intent. They want to use their anger.
Let it all out on Tottenham.
The Chinese fans are very optimistic. They have also found a gimmick. I don’t know which fan posted such a post on the forum, "Manchester United’s f4 forwards are all playing this time, not to watch the meteor shower together, but to watch it together."
