After a short break on the national team's match day, the League started again.
Manchester United are on their way to White Hart Lane for Tottenham's favorite free throw.
Tottenham have been unbeaten at home for 10 years and away from Manchester United for 21 years. However, Tottenham's strength has been limited in the past two years. With their strength greatly increased in the past two years, they are not willing to be a "send points boy", and it is more and more difficult for Manchester United to win.
As the early start of the game of Chelsea beat Blackburn 2-0, so for Manchester United, this game must be won, otherwise they and Chelsea's point gap will narrow to seven points.
Ferguson is also the main force, and discharged a 433 attack lineup, goalkeeper: 1 - van der Sar, guard: 21 - Rafael, 5 - Ferdinand, 15 - Vidic, 3 - Evra; avant-garde: 24 - Fletcher, 18 - Scholes, 10 - Gao Xiaodong; striker: 17 - Nani, 9 - berba, 7 - Rooney.
This is the first appearance of new technology Golden Ball winner Gao Xiaodong and captain Gary. United's first game after Neville retired.
There is no doubt that Gao Xiaodong has been questioned in the selection of the Golden Globes. He must show his ability through the competition and prove that he is worthy of the Golden Globes.
Manchester United's big men and upstarts are all in high spirits in order to fight for the position of Manchester United captain. They just want to win Tottenham to show their strength.
Tottenham have star players such as Modric, bell, van der Vaart and crouch, as well as experienced coaches such as Redknapp, but they have been unable to beat Manchester United. They are also eager to break the curse of beating Manchester United at home.
Redknapp has a balanced 4-4-2 formation: goalkeeper: 1 - Gomez: Guard: 32 - ektor, 20 - Dawson, 12 - Galla, 2 - Hutton; forward: 3 - bell, 12 - Palacios, 14 - Modric, 7 - Lennon; forward: 15 - crouch, 11 - van der Vaart.
In the first leg against Manchester United, Tottenham lost 3-0, which was a complete defeat.
Compared with the first leg, Redknapp changed three starters this time, one was center back Kable replaced by Dawson, one was midfield Jenas replaced by Palacios, and the other was forward Robbie Keane replaced by high man crouch.
This is basically a change of the central axis, which shows Redknapp's dissatisfaction with the last round.
However, Ferguson basically did not change the players, only Giggs was replaced by Scholes, and the formation changed from 442 to 433.
generally, Ferguson will leave a veteran on the field to help Gao Xiaodong control the game with their experience.
After the game, Manchester United serve first.
The ball transited to Gao Xiaodong's feet. Gao Xiaodong showed a strong aggressiveness when he took the ball for the first time. After he passed back, he immediately took the initiative to withdraw for the ball. After Rafael gave the ball to him, Gao Xiaodong immediately dribbled the ball from the back court to the midfield quickly.
Although Tottenham's backcourt formation remains very complete, midfield's Modric and Palacios dare not neglect and quickly come forward to wrap Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong seems to pass the ball back to Fletcher. It's the safest way to pass the ball back to his back when facing two players. Of course, Gao Xiaodong can also pass the ball to Scholes.
However, Gao Xiaodong is very excited today. After he pretends to pass back, he suddenly turns 180 degrees and runs through the middle of Modric and Palacios with the fastest speed while Modric and Palacios start to disperse.
The assault was very sudden and very risky.
It's a beautiful way to get rid of it, but it's not cost-effective to take such a risk in his own half. Ferguson just looked at it without cheering, but his face sank.
The fans can't control so much. They just come to watch the game. As long as it's good-looking, it's OK. It's more exciting to take risks. Seeing Gao Xiaodong's sudden fake action to get rid of the two midfielders' traps, the United fans who came to White Hart Lane to cheer on all of them cheered.
"See, after winning the golden ball award, Xiao Dong's style of playing has also become coquettish."
"It's a beautiful operation!"
"It seems risky, but in fact it is stable, because Gao Xiaodong has the strength."
……
In front of Manchester United's three forwards are looking at Gao Xiaodong, see Gao Xiaodong get rid of spurs midfield interception, Rooney, Nani, Berbatov began to speed up running, looking for attack opportunities.
After Gao Xiaodong showed off his midfield breakthrough technique, he didn't stick to the ball any more. He immediately passed it to Berbatov, who was stretching sideways in the middle to ask for the ball. He stepped forward and began to change from a midfield organizer to a terminator.
In Manchester United's attack, Berbatov is the slowest and has not strong impact, but what he is good at is not this at all, but imaginative passing.
Gao Xiaodong passed the ball. Berbatov didn't stop the ball. He had known and observed the surrounding situation before and passed the ball to Nani with one foot.
The dribbling Frenchman Nani didn't stick the ball this time. He took a few steps and saw Gao Xiaodong catch up with him. Regardless of Scholes who was closer to him, he immediately passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong.Gao Xiaodong now also has the hope to become Manchester United captain, Nani naturally wants to support Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong continued to push forward with the ball.
Gao Xiaodong just passed the ball when he began to forward, he forward speed is very fast, Modric and Palacios has not caught up with Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong has entered the 30 meter area, and may come to the door at any time.
Tottenham in the back of David Dawson had to top, not let Gao Xiaodong long-range.
Gao Xiaodong drove straight in, and Berbatov blocked Gao Xiaodong's way in the middle. Berbatov immediately ran to the side to give Gao Xiaodong space, and also wanted to help Gao Xiaodong take a guard.
Gao Xiaodong is very fast with the ball, leaving Modric and Palacios behind, and they can't catch up with each other.
At this time, someone must delay the speed of Gao Xiaodong. As long as the speed of Gao Xiaodong comes down and Modric and Palacios come back, the crisis of the defensive line will be solved.
When Berbatov went to the side, the Spurs centre back didn't follow him. Dawson and Gallas met Gao Xiaodong.
After winning the golden ball award, Gao Xiaodong's pressure on the opponent has also been significantly improved. Whether in the midfield or in the backcourt, Tottenham's defensive players are two, and even prefer to empty Berbatov for a short time with a slow speed.
Gao Xiaodong didn't show himself blindly. He grasped the rhythm very well. When he saw Berbatov being emptied, he immediately crossed the ball to Berbatov.
At the moment, Tottenham winger bell and full back are already moving towards the middle. Bell pounced on Berbatov with the fastest speed to prevent Berbatov from breaking through the penalty area.
Berbatov knew that he was slow, he didn't break through the penalty area, saw the opponent come to attack him, and immediately passed to Rooney.
Rooney is also in an unguarded state at the moment. He quickly cuts across the ball and reaches the line of the forbidden area. Without waiting for Gallas to block it, he shoots at the near corner.
Tottenham goalkeeper Gomez flew to save, but Rooney's foot was a bit off the side net.
The net was hit straight swing, scared Spurs fans screamed, thought the ball into.
The opening less than 40 seconds, Spurs have not touched the ball, Gao Xiaodong has directed a threatening attack, and Rooney completed a shot.
