The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 544 Heading
"I'm so glad you're still alive and well!"

On the night of September [-]th, at the White Hart Lane Stadium in north London, Ye Qiu had just walked out of the player tunnel, and immediately above his head was a burst of cheers pouring down, this is the way Tottenham Hotspur fans have always greeted him .

In this stadium, he is the supreme king, because everything here belongs to him!

And every time, Ye Qiu would have a feeling that it feels good to be in charge of his own family, especially when he thought of coaching at Ajax and Chelsea and being squeezed out everywhere, he would feel , I should cherish it more.

Ferguson is still wearing the iconic white shirt, but today he is accompanied by a very coquettish red tie, paired with his rosy nose and red old face, the whole feeling is not very pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it. Arrived drunk.

"You may not be much happier than me, are you?" Ferguson retorted.

Two weeks after the national team match day, Manchester United's situation is not good. First they played Tottenham Hotspur away, and then they played Manchester City at home. Both games were bitter games. But for Manchester United, who didn't get along very well in the summer, it is not a good thing to encounter such difficult opponents one after another.

"No, I think I'm in a good mood!" Ye Qiu replied with a smile, "At least I'm at the top of the list now, how about you?"

Ferguson was so angry that he couldn't help laughing, "After the game, you'll be out of the top four!"

"Let's talk about it when you have this kind of ability!" Ye Qiu also replied with a smile.

Two old rivals have fought against each other for so many years, and they have learned a lot from each other. They look more like rivals, but at the same time they are also teachers and friends. Tit for tat.

Ferguson's biggest problem now is actually in the midfield. According to the card, the midfield of Carrick, Sneijder and Lars Diarra is indeed a perfect match, a very good combination , but sometimes, people's hearts are unpredictable, and such a set of combinations just can't make up one piece.

So now Ferguson has to dismantle this combination and use it in turn, sometimes with Carrick Gas Ned plus Fletcher, sometimes with Anderson, sometimes with Scholes, in short, it depends on which one Xiaozheng went to anyone who was too pleasing to the eye, but Las Diarra, who had high hopes at the beginning of the season, was sidelined.

Of course, Ye Qiu knew that this was Ferguson's hawk trick, but Lars Diarra was a thorn in his previous life. If used well, he could indeed improve a team's midfield strength, but once used Not good, it may in turn hurt yourself.

Pellegrini and Mourinho haven't used him well, so I don't know if Ferguson can use him well.

"Ha, sir, it's a bit cold tonight, you old man be careful!"

Seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Qiu said goodbye to Ferguson with a haha, turned around and walked towards the home team's coaching bench.

Don't look at how he usually quarreled with Ferguson fiercely, and don't look at the outside saying that Tottenham Hotspur has already won, but in fact he knows very well that Ferguson's team is now short of one chance, one Opportunity to thrive.

Sometimes the internal problems of the team are difficult to solve internally, but if there is a little impact from the outside, it may help them resolve internal conflicts, and this is the case with Manchester United now, they need to play a game The victory that belongs to them, and then sounded their horn of the Red Devils.

Ye Qiu knew very well that Ferguson wanted to step on Tottenham Hotspur's shoulders, because doing so would not only boost Manchester United's momentum, but also dampen Tottenham Hotspur's fighting spirit. Can't give Manchester United such an opportunity, at least he is not the kind of activity that hurts himself and enriches others.

Ferguson stared fiercely at Ye Qiu's back, his eyes seemed to say, you kid, just go ahead, keep going, you'll feel better later!
The fans in the stands were so powerful that when the referee blew the whistle to start the game, they all excitedly raised their scarves and club souvenirs from their seats to show their support and loyalty to the team , and all Tottenham Hotspur fans also hope to take advantage of the head start after the opening, and severely give their rivals a blow.

In the first round of the league, even Liverpool, which has always been iron-blooded, was intimidated by us. Can't you scare your sickly Red Devils Manchester United now?What an international joke!
Ye Qiu didn't notice what the fans were thinking, and neither did the players, because now everyone's thoughts were on the game, and no one would think about such things.

Andy Gray just took a sip of water, and when he heard the whistle, he cursed inwardly, what's the rush?
"Friends of the audience, welcome to the White Hart Lane Stadium."

"The game has started, the Red Devils away at Manchester United took the first kick-off, Benzema passed it to Wayne Rooney, and Manchester United quickly returned the ball to the back, to the defence, to Carrick. "

Andy Gray hadn't fully entered the state for a while, he felt that his commentary was a bit boring, even less exciting than the loud voice of the Tottenham Hotspur live commentator, at least the latter coaxed the whole White Hart There are more than 3 fans in Lane Stadium, no matter they are men, women, old or young, all of them are excited like a festival.

Just when he was planning to have a climax to grab white, the situation made him speechless.

Carrick quickly passed the ball forward, trying to find Benzema in front, but such an attempt could not stop Thiago Silva, the Brazilian central defender firmly blocked Benzema with his body , He didn't even need to jump, he directly pushed the ball back and gave it to Fabregas who retreated to respond.

Fàbregas took the ball with his back to the attacking direction, split it to the right, and gave it to Alves. Marking, the Brazilian right back quickly assigned to Messi, but Messi had no chance. After stopping the ball, he knocked back to Alves.

Alves took the ball close to the right side, observed the situation, and found that Manchester United's defense was still as stable as ever, and Marcelo on the left side had already come up, so he made a big kick directly and quickly transferred the ball from the right side to the left.

Marcelo stuck to the left line, and stopped directly in front of the incoming ball. The ball deliberately stopped a little too big, and then quickly caught up.

Rooney defended deep and entangled Marcelo, who took advantage of the situation with a big pass forward, and the ball came to Ribery's feet.

One-on-one, Ribery faces O'Shea!

It may be the shadow left by Franck Ribery or Messi before. The tall O’Shea always has no idea when facing short players. When he sees Ribery holding the ball, he feels confused for no reason. First I panicked, and then I saw that Ribery wanted to make a move, and he wanted to play in the middle, which was in line with Ribery's usual way of taking the ball and cutting inside to find a way to cooperate.

Here we must mention the benefits of both feet. Franck Ribery is very skilled with both feet. Whether he chooses to cut inside or bottom, he can create opportunities naturally and casually, because he is excellent with both feet, and if If you only have one foot, the difficulty of defense will be weakened a lot.

As soon as O'Shea saw that Ribery was about to cut inside, he immediately tried to block him, but Ribery made a sudden spike, which changed from the original inside cut to the bottom, and he stabbed the ball first, and then chased Going up, he broke through O'Shea's defense all at once, forming a breakthrough on the left side of Manchester United's penalty area.

The whole process happened almost in an instant, and after Ribery broke through, Ferdinand rushed up quickly to intercept, but the French scarface was faster, passing the ball directly and hoisting the ball into the middle of the penalty area.

The placement of this pass is very sensitive. Van der Sar dare not attack at will. Vidic is slightly to the right. If Falcao does not appear, maybe he can easily wait until the ball enters his defensive range. , and then directly clear the siege.

But the terrible thing is that Falcao, who is quite a bit shorter than Vidic, jumped out from behind, grabbed Ribery's cross ball in front of Vidic, and shook his head like a lion. Van der Sar's goal, 1:0!

From the kick-off to the end, the whole process took place in less than 50 seconds. Tottenham took advantage of this less than 50 seconds to create the first attack of the game and achieved The first shot, the first goal, and more importantly, Falcao's header!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!"

Andy Gray was screaming, he realized that if he continued to follow Tottenham Hotspur, sooner or later he would scream, because this north London team is always on the way. The ball keeps creating surprises.

"Romedal Falcao, the ninth league goal of the season, happened to Manchester United!"

After Falcao's goal, he was the first to run towards Ribery, and the two hugged on the sidelines, and Falcao seemed to keep thanking Ribery for him. Pass the ball.

"Judging from the whole process of scoring, Falcao's header awareness is indeed very good, but more importantly, Ribery's cross is very comfortable and the point is very accurate. Especially for the judgment of Vidic's position, if it is to the right, it is impossible for Falcao to take advantage of Vidic, but because of such a small difference, Vidic has no choice but to take advantage of Falcao. Watching this little guy head the ball in front of me."

Andy Gray was also amused by this interesting scene on the football field. In fact, the most important thing in a header is not height, nor is it strong or not, but the position.

As long as you have a good position, you will often have an advantage when fighting for the header.

Of course, if you are too short and weak, and you lose your position once you are hit by someone, then you can say that, but in general, the most important thing in competing for a header is to judge the position of the ball. Fighting for the first point is the key factor. As long as you get stuck, let alone Falcao, Messi can head the ball in front of Vidic.

Ferguson on the sidelines might have planned to go to the coach's bench to sit, so his back was facing the field. He originally expected that there would be nothing to be nervous about after the opening, but before he got to his seat and sat down, he turned his head. Found that Romedal Falcao behind him had happily rushed out of Manchester United's penalty area, and the goal was scored? !
This surprised Ferguson, his mouth was opened wide, and he was speechless for a long time.

Not to mention him, even his group of assistants are now so surprised that they could stuff an egg into their mouths, and they conceded the ball in less than a minute. How can they play such a game?
If Manchester United were a mature and stable team, then there might still be a chance, but the problem is that now that Manchester United has just undergone reorganization, it is very unstable in itself. Remember Sap, how can this kind of game continue?

The Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stands also looked at the players celebrating on the field in disbelief. At least they all felt that this goal came a little too fast, a little early, a little too fast, but it was very, very enjoyable !
So, after a few seconds of silence after scoring the goal, there was a burst of thunderous applause and cheers, dedicated to Romedal Falcao, who scored his ninth league goal this season, The Colombian center also received applause and cheers from the fans under the support of his teammates.

The long journey obviously did not affect his state, because Ye Qiu had a tacit understanding with various national teams before, that is, some players including Messi and Ribery only played half of the national team's warm-up match .

The good relationship between everyone who comes and goes on weekdays has shown its value at this critical moment. At least the mental state of Tottenham Hotspur players is not bad. It's okay.

With the team's opening goal, the next thing became much simpler and more straightforward.

Tottenham Hotspur, which took the lead in attacking the Manchester United fans, quickly took advantage of the home court advantage and the advantage of the first goal to play against Manchester United. The Red Devils, who are not doing well recently, have never been able to find an effective means of resistance, especially their central team. On the field, it was almost impossible to organize an effective offensive. This also made Ferguson furious on the sidelines and almost vomited blood.

However, Manchester United's defensive skills are still worthy of recognition. Although the midfield has lost order, at least the Red Devils have not messed up like Liverpool, but still organized an effective defense. This is the same as Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic. There is a certain relationship, so Tottenham Hotspur will not be able to take advantage of it for a while.

Until the No. 208th minute of the first half, Vidic fouled Messi who dribbled the ball in from the right during a defense. He was warned by the referee with a yellow card and gave Tottenham Hotspur a forward. Opportunities for set-pieces.

Tottenham used to take free kicks from Beckham, Gareth Bale and van Persie, but now Beckham is on the bench, Gareth Bale and Van Persie are gone, so this time Messi stood up without hesitation.

This surprised all the fans in the stands, Messi can still score a free kick?
I saw the Argentine superstar slowly step back a few steps with great posture. After standing still, he waited until the referee blew his whistle, rushed forward quickly, and rubbed his left foot lightly against the ball.

At a distance of about 22 meters in front of the goal, Messi's free kick turned a coquettish arc and turned into the upper right corner of Manchester United's goal, and the upper right corner happened to be Van der Sar's dead corner. His only dead end.

Scoring the first direct free kick in his life in an official match, Messi jumped up on the spot with excitement, and rushed to the sidelines quickly. He rushed to the bench in one breath, following the Beckham gave him a hug, thanking the big brother for guiding him with free kicks for a long time in the past, then shook hands and hugged Ye Qiu, and then ran to his teammates.

"This game is too surprising!" Andy Gray's heart beat a little faster.

Just now Falcao scored a header in front of Vidic, he was still mentally prepared, but now Messi has come out to take a free kick, what kind of world is this?Could it be that each of these star players are going to be omnipotent now?

"It can be seen that Messi's free kick was influenced by Beckham to a certain extent. The arc is very wide. It mainly focuses on skills rather than strength. It is a different path from Cristiano Ronaldo."

"But I'm surprised now. If Ribéry also takes a free kick later, I believe it will be more interesting."

But it is obvious that Andy Gray's hope did not appear, not because Ribery did not get a chance, but the chance of this French scarred face was not a direct free kick, but an assist.

This time was on the left side of the top of the arc in the penalty area. After taking the ball and breaking through Carrick and O'Shea consecutively, he stopped in front of the baseline and knocked back to David Silva who inserted in the back. The latter kicked easily to the left Foot push, pierced Van der Sar's goal again, 3:0!

This goal happened in No.40 two minutes before the end of the first half, and this goal was also the last goal of the game, and then in the second half, no matter how Tottenham Hotspur attacked , How to find opportunities, Manchester United did not give Tottenham Hotspur any chance to score.

In the end, this high-profile focus game came to an end with Tottenham Hotspur's 3-0 victory over Manchester United at home.

This battle also made Tottenham Hotspur's position as the leader of the season golden and full of gold, because they have won five consecutive victories after killing Liverpool, West Ham United and Manchester United. The Premier League standings, that is well deserved.

However, after the game, Ferguson was not convinced at all. He said that Tottenham Hotspur played smoothly mainly because they had a good start. If they hadn't scored in less than a minute, Manchester United would not have fallen To the situation where the army was defeated like a mountain, so for this defeat, Ferguson attributed it to luck.

For Ferguson, who is stubborn, Ye Qiu won the game and was in a good mood, so he didn't bother to argue with him. Anyway, everyone has eyes and knows how to read. If they are lucky, they can score a 3-0 against Manchester United. Too sad, right?

Or is Manchester United's strength just a disguise?
