Chapter 890

Gao Xiaodong's goal changed the situation of the game.

Tottenham can't accept the result of defeat. After losing the ball, Tottenham players quickly increase the input of troops in the attack, and the forward passing is also significantly increased.

Manchester United have a lot of experience. They didn't shrink immediately after the goal, but continue to keep the pressure on Tottenham in the penalty area to see if they can take advantage of the opponent's unstable morale to expand the score.

Manchester United's experience has brought them opportunities. Spurs are eager to fight back. They pass the ball too hastily in the back court. The ball is broken by the diligent Rooney. Rooney steps forward and crosses the front of the penalty area under the pressure of the opponent.

In Rooney's expectation, even if Gao Xiaodong and Scholes didn't have time to plug in, Berbatov would have a chance to grab the pass, but Rooney didn't expect that Berbatov was really slow, the ball slid through the gate and flew out of the sideline before Berbatov arrived.

Rooney is not satisfied with Berbatov's follow-up. He feels that no matter Gao Xiaodong or Xiao pea partner with him, he will get an assist.

However, Berbatov is also dissatisfied with Rooney's pass, he thinks Rooney can take a deeper pass, rather than blind pass with eyes closed.

Spurs were quick to send a foul, and bell made another spurt to Manchester United's right.

Rafael in Gao Xiaodong after the goal has reduced the plug, stay behind the defense, but still did not block Bell's attack.

Bell broke through Rafael in less than 10 meters and crossed the ball across the penalty area on the baseline.

Maybe the pass was too quick. Bell didn't control the ball well. Crouch, who is more than two meters tall, didn't touch the ball either. The ball flew directly out of the sideline.

In the 25th minute of the game, Manchester United made a quick counterattack. After passing the ball continuously by Scholes, Gao Xiaodong and Fletcher, they dropped the ball from their own half to Spurs' half, and Scholes went straight to Berbatov.

Berbatov is not fast, but he plays very smart. When he catches the ball in the middle, he stops to the side, pulls the side and then pulls it back to pass to Wayne Rooney, who is obliquely in the penalty area.

Rooney followed with a powerful volley, but the angle was a little positive, goalkeeper Gomez fell to the ground and blocked the ball with one hand.

Gallas did not dare to neglect, snatched the ball to go out before Gao Xiaodong's supplementary shot.

Berbatov saw Rooney miss the ball, looked at Rooney, as if to say, the ball is going to pass like this, then shrugged and walked back.

Rooney was angry when he saw Berbatov's expression, but he didn't shoot well. He couldn't do it even if he had fire. He could only get angry.

United's tactics are very right. They took advantage of Spurs' psychological ups and downs to get two chances to shoot, but they failed to grasp them. Then spurs increased their force of closing down, and the formation was also raised forward. United gradually contracted the formation back, defended the half court, and hit Spurs' counter attack.

At this time, Gao Xiaodong's position recovery is more powerful, almost parallel to Fletcher's, mainly to protect his center back and give the ball, and the main task of passing the ball to three strikers in the counterattack is Scholes.

The last time Tottenham lost at Old Trafford, they also summed up the lesson of losing to Manchester United, that is, they can't let Manchester United master the rhythm of the game and can't let Manchester United score first.

However, after returning home this time, Tottenham still didn't defend Gao Xiaodong, who scored another goal.

Now it's time for Manchester United to fight back. If United continue to control the rhythm, Spurs will get a big defeat like last time.

If you don't want Manchester United to control the rhythm, you must strangle the ball, so that the three strikers can't get the ball and can't afford to fight back. Once the three strikers of Manchester United can only keep one Berbatov in the front, and the remaining two go back to defend and get the ball, Tottenham will be safe, because they have two fast wingers, bell and Lennon, on the side road, who can quickly catch up with Manchester United's counterattack It's not that big a threat.

United's goal points are Gao Xiaodong and Scholes. When Tottenham lost the ball, they asked van der Vaart to limit Gao Xiaodong's goal and used Modric to mark Scholes. They would rather foul than let Gao Xiaodong and Scholes pass the ball.

Tottenham's targeted defensive effect is good. Gao Xiaodong and Scholes are greatly affected, especially Scholes. When he is old, his reaction ability is slow. When he is targeted, his mistakes multiply immediately, making Manchester United unable to fight back quickly.

Defensive counterattack is the most afraid of no counterattack, the opponent repeatedly impact the back line.

Tottenham's attacking power is actually quite good. They have several attacking talents in the middle and front court. What limits the further development of Tottenham is their back line and goalkeeper. Now that Manchester United can't fight back quickly, their back line is under too much pressure.

In the 35th minute of the game, Scholes got the ball and was cut off by Modric. Scholes tried to break Modric's second attack with a foul. However, Modric was quick, and Scholes didn't touch Modric with a foul.

However, Gao Xiaodong always pays attention to the position of Scholes. After Modric steals, Gao Xiaodong makes up for it quickly. Modric just avoids Scholes. Gao Xiaodong thinks it's a good opportunity to steal quickly.However, Modric's control of the ball is really excellent, his body center of gravity is also fully adjusted, but the ball a set, and swayed past Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong can't let Modric go over again. He will face the defender in the past.

Vidic and Ferdinand are powerful, but it's too dangerous to face Modric, van der Vaart and crouch.

Gao Xiaodong swept Modric down from behind without hesitation.

This is an obvious tactical foul. The referee whistled and gave a yellow card to Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong's yellow card won't lose. Gao Xiaodong didn't plead and went to defend directly.

Although Tottenham have a high point like crouch in the middle, and even two centre backs come, United's air defense ability is one of the best. Tottenham's free kick did not create too much threat this time.

Ferguson is a coach with decades of professional experience. He quickly saw the intention of Tottenham and told his defender not to rush to pass the ball to Gao Xiaodong and Scholes. He passed the ball to two flanks and launched a counterattack directly from the flank without the control and organization of the midfield.

Ferguson's idea is very correct. United have Nani and Rooney on the wing. They are two. Nani has good technique, fast speed and can break through. Rooney's technique is a little rough, but he has strong impact and fast speed. They can launch a counterattack on the wing.

Ferguson's change just fell into Redknapp's calculation.

Tottenham are not afraid that Manchester United will not take the side road. As long as Manchester United take the side road, no matter Nani or Rooney carry the ball forward, bell and Lennon have the ability to return to their restricted area and reduce the threat of United's two wings flying together.

Even if bell and Lennon can't come back sometimes, except for Gao Xiaodong and Scholes, other people are not as accurate as Gao Xiaodong and Scholes in handling the ball.

Without a reasonable ball and accurate footwork, fast counterattack is not out.

In other words, as long as Gao Xiaodong and Scholes are controlled, the quality of United's counterattack will be greatly reduced.

In fact, 25 minutes before the first half, United controlled the game, Gao Xiaodong also scored a goal, 25 minutes later, the game was in accordance with the idea of Tottenham coach Redknapp, Tottenham has been attacking, but United's counterattack has never been able to play out.

However, Tottenham's ability to grasp the opportunity is general. Their continuous attack has created a lot of shooting opportunities, but they are still unable to send the ball into Manchester United's gate.

The 45 minutes of the first half passed quickly. Tottenham had the advantage of the scene, but failed to turn it into a goal. They had to go back to the dressing room to have a rest with the result of 0-1 down.
