The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 610 Cut ahead!
Many people said that Ye Qiu prefers versatile players.

Indeed, there are indeed many versatile players in the current Tottenham Hotspur team, just like Franck Ribery and Messi, who can play left, center and right. Cesc Fabregas can also play multiple positions, such as forward , Front midfielder, midfielder and defensive midfielder, except for the central defender who cannot play on the central axis, he can do everything else with ease.

The comprehensiveness of these versatile players makes Tottenham Hotspur's offense very diverse. Whether it is the running position or the cooperation between players in the frontcourt, there will often be some links that make opponents hard to defend, just like Ribe Li and Messi cross positions, and the way to defend these two players is completely different.

There is also David Silva, he takes the ball more in the center and advances with the ball, but when he gets to the side, he starts to take the ball and cut inside, acting as an organizational wing player, which makes him play in the center and the side The effects are very different.

Ye Qiu usually pays great attention to the overall quality of the players, so in training, he often changes the positions of the players. On the one hand, it is for the players to better adapt to the environment of their teammates and help the team integrate better. Help players develop versatility so that they can adapt to the situation and play different positions in the game.

It seems that now, the reason why Ye Qiu dared to let David Silva play on the left and let Ribery and Messi actively change positions in front is because he has high confidence in the comprehensiveness of his players Heart.

Moreover, one of the benefits of such an adjustment and transposition is that no substitution is required, so it is carried out very secretly.

The position and movement of players on the court are very vague concepts. When the head coach stands on the sidelines, they often cannot see through the change of the opponent at the first time, because it is not as intuitive as making adjustments through substitutions. .

For example, let David Silva pull the side and let Messi go up. If you change to normal times, you should replace David Silva with a wide player like Neymar or Hazard, and then put Messi Go to the front, so that Ferguson can see through your arrangement at first sight.

But through this kind of player transposition, Ferguson may not be able to see through it immediately.

But after the start of the second half, Tottenham Hotspur played more actively, and immediately gave Manchester United a note of Mawei.

In less than a minute from the start, Tottenham Hotspur actively ran and pulled in the frontcourt, creating an unguarded central area for Yaya Toure who inserted in the back, and the Ivorian's offense The desire has always been very strong, and active forward penetration is already his most conspicuous label, so he did not hesitate at all. As soon as he came up, after receiving the ball, even if he was more than 1 meters away from the goal, he directly swung his right foot It's a heavy shot.

It was a thunderous long-range shot across the entire United penalty area. Van der Sar reacted by throwing the ball with both hands, but the shot was so hard and hard that Van der Sar couldn't get the ball at all. Pulling out the crossbeam, there was a loud bang in the end, hitting the crossbeam, and after bouncing high, it fell off the bottom line.

This long-range shot made the fans in the entire Old Trafford stadium exclaim. Many fans even stood up from their seats nervously. They obviously felt that it was a fluke. On the crossbar.

But before the fans at Old Trafford recovered, Tottenham Hotspur once again passed David Silvara on the left side and pulled the ball straight to the left Messi with the ball on the road, the Argentine took the ball on the left to face Rafael, and was going to eat the opponent in a one-on-one situation, but Rafael blocked the ball from the bottom line and took a corner kick.

David Silva took a corner and landed at the near post, going for Kompany, but Vidic was firmly in position, headed the ball out of the box and landed in the At the top of the penalty area, Yaya Toure came up from behind again, and before the ball landed, he volleyed vigorously again.

This shot was so powerful, fast and fierce that all the Red Devils players in the penalty area had no time to stop it. Even Carlos Tevez at the front of the penalty area had no time to interfere with Yaya Toure.

But it is a pity that this kick was very powerful and angled, but it just failed to hold the ball, which directly led to this high-level long-range shot that should have been called the world wave, and it almost hit the crossbar. Bottom line, high!
Attacking twice in a row and creating two threats in a row, Tottenham Hotspur wanted to use their momentum to suppress their opponents as soon as they came up.

"We noticed that Tottenham Hotspur began to be more active after the second half, especially Yaya Toure, who inserted two long-range shots in a row. The quality was very high, but the luck was a little bit worse! "Andy Gray somewhat regretted it.

Similar to Yaya Toure's two shots, it should be said that it has nothing to do with technology and skills. In all likelihood, the ball will be there.

Therefore, when scoring goals in football matches, luck is often the key!

But Tottenham were not at all sorry for the two missed chances and they quickly began to reorganize.

"We saw that in the second half Tottenham Hotspur played very aggressively, the attack was rejuvenated, and the game strategy seemed to change, it seemed more aggressive to complete the rapid progress through the wings, and more use of the pass. I don’t know if Ferguson has also seen this change.”

Everyone knows that if you look down at the entire stadium from a mid-air perspective, you can see all the changes on the stadium, the positions of the players, and the changes in the team formation, but the head coach is standing on the edge of the field Yes, sometimes their understanding of the situation on the court is not as clear as that of the fans in the stands.

That's why Andy Gray has such doubts.

"Actually, Tottenham Hotspur's tactic is a bit like a double striker. Messi and Cavani both withstand Manchester United's defense, while Ribery and David Silva play two wings. Fabre Gass and Yaya Toure form a double midfielder, which is a typical 442 tactic, but Tottenham Hotspur's players are more interchangeable and fluid."

While Andy Gray was speaking, he saw a very interesting change in the situation on the court.

Alves went forward!
…………

…………

Ye Qiu said during the intermission that the defense cannot move.

The meaning of these words is actually very clear, that is, the defense line will continue to maintain the tactics of the first half, so before the start of the first half, Ye Qiu's tactics are that the full-backs can only play when they are sure that they have enough confidence and certainty. Forward insertion is allowed.

Obviously, Alves is very confident now, because in front of him and beside him, there are no Manchester United players.

Tottenham Hotspur attacked aggressively after the start of the second half, making Carlos Tevez, the opponent's left player, drop back very deep, basically playing in midfield, so Alves was confident enough to go forward and back able to come back.

But even if he had this certainty, he didn't just go up if he wanted to, he had to observe.

Franck Ribery can deal with Evra alone in the front, but if there is another Carrick who is in the way, Ribery is obviously a little bit overwhelmed. Breaking through the opponent's defense is purely a joke, and Messi has no such assurance.

Therefore, in many cases, Ribery protects the ball, brings it back, hits it back, and rushes up to find opportunities by himself.

This is a common attacking tactic and the one most often used by wingers after losing full-back support.

Alves has not moved. It seems that he may still ensure the team's defense as he did in the first half, consuming time without seeking merit but seeking nothing. Therefore, Manchester United's players have somewhat ignored this Brazilian player. After all, Tottenham Hotspur's Yaya Toure was too eye-catching after the opening of the second half. When he came up, he didn't care about 21 [-], and he swung his feet directly. It was too dangerous for Manchester United not to block this gap.

Therefore, Tevez retracted and retracted in order to block Yaya Toure.

Alves saw an opportunity when he saw Ribéry face Evra after receiving a pass from Cesc Fabregas in front, and cover the ball with his back, but Manchester United players are not stupid, see through Following Franck Ribery's usual trick, Carrick pulled to the wing, intending to take advantage of Franck Ribery's return to dribble the ball, attacking the scarred face of France one after the other.

At this moment, Alves rushed forward, very fast, and directly entered the 30-meter zone of Manchester United. At this time, Ribery happened to be leading back. When the two met, the distance was a bit far, but they knew each other After all, they have cooperated for so many years, and the two of them can guess each other's thoughts with just a look.

Ribery passed the ball to the left side of Alves, that is, the side close to the center. This pass avoided Carrick, and Alves made an oblique run and cut directly at Carrick. Franck Ribery's pass was caught behind him.

This made the Manchester United players a little restless. After all, the threat of Alves cutting inside is no less than that of a winger. This Brazilian right back has very good attack power. Alves' Evra rushed up immediately, and was going to block Alves.

After entering the 30-meter area, there are many options for offensive players, and with Alves' footwork and technique, whether he kicks himself or advances to the front of the penalty area to find Messi and Cavani to cooperate, it is very effective. Threat, so Evra blocked the first time, it was the best decision he could think of.

But as soon as Evra came up, Alves pushed the ball with his right foot, and the ball passed by Evra's side. At this time, Ribery was fighting for speed with Carrick along the right line.

In terms of speed, Carrick couldn't even catch up with Ribery, so he was left behind by Scarface from the beginning, and Evra also reacted immediately and realized that he had been fooled, so he To chase back.

But after receiving a pass from Alves on the right side of the penalty area, Ribery made a low pass with his right foot.

The quality of this pass is good, and it lands in the middle of the penalty area.

This has to mention another group of cooperation, that is, Cavani and Messi.

When Ribery and Alves attacked from the side, Cavani consciously blocked Vidic with his body, and Messi, who was originally in the penalty area, consciously crossed from the right side of Ferdinand. Right upright.

Because Vidic was blocked by Cavani, he was a little slower when he caught up again. Messi easily in front of the goal. In the unguarded state, he will come from Ribery on the right. The foot passed the ball and pushed it into Van der Sar's goal. Although the Dutch goalkeeper made a save, it was of no avail.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!"

Andy Gray exclaimed in excitement, and in response to his exclamation, Messi quickly rushed out of the penalty area, bypassed the field, and together with Ribery, who was rushing from the right, shot through the goal After the net, excitedly ran wildly to celebrate.

1:0, Tottenham Hotspur finally knocked on Manchester United's goal in 6 minutes!

"A very sudden goal, just like the sudden tactical adjustment that Tottenham Hotspur made in the second half, we all noticed that after the second half Tottenham Hotspur played more proactively, more openly, with a better rhythm. Come on, Manchester United still wants to play according to the rhythm and situation of the first half, this is too passive!"

Andy Gray was also surprised by this goal. Strictly speaking, although Yaya Toure's two long-range shots created threats, they were not considered good scoring opportunities. The first truly threatening scoring chance Tottenham created in the second half went straight to the goal.

"We have to admit that Tottenham Hotspur's ability to seize opportunities in offense is indeed very good. It didn't take long after the start of the second half to score a goal. For Tottenham Hotspur, it is definitely a A huge encouragement, but it's difficult for Manchester United at home."

"Ferguson didn't respond to Tottenham Hotspur's adjustments in time, which made Manchester United a little passive in the second half. Now they are 0:1 behind. He has to make a choice, whether to press out and play, or choose to continue to defend and counterattack ?”

Before Andy Gray had finished speaking, Ferguson had already walked to the sidelines and grabbed Benzema, who had just run out to warm up. It was obvious that a substitution was about to be made.

Sure enough, when Tottenham Hotspur returned to the pitch after celebrating the goal, Manchester United made the first substitution adjustment of the game, replacing the sluggish player with Benzema. Sneijder, the latter's state has not been very satisfactory after the World Cup. Ferguson even pulled Rooney back to play Sneijder's position several times this season.

In fact, this time Ferguson played Benzema and replaced Sneijder to strengthen the offense.

"Ye Qiu's adjustment is very smart. Since you are trying everything possible to suppress me in the midfield, I will let go of the midfield and not fight with you. I will go to the side. Ferguson now realizes that he will continue to play the third place in the midfield. Players, it's a bit of a waste, and now the home team is behind, so he wants to counterattack, so he takes a midfielder and a striker."

Andy Gray didn't say that Manchester United actually returned to the 442 tactics, which is also Manchester United's traditional tactics, but Ferguson has kept pace with the times and adopted more modern tactical formations such as 433 over the years.

Seeing that Ferguson was going to kill him, Ye Qiu chuckled and waved his hand at the players on the field. Messi returned to the right, David Silva returned to the middle, Fabregas stepped up, and Thor Turnham Hotspur returned to the 433 tactic.

This change made Ferguson so angry on the sidelines that he just wanted to scold his mother, but he also had a contingency strategy, which was to pull Rooney back, but in this way, the offense was weakened, but there was no way around it.

If you put Rooney in the front, there are only two players in the midfield, Lars Diarra and Carrick, but Tottenham Hotspur have three players in the midfield, plus Carrick has to fall back. Only then can they play a threat, so Manchester United's midfielder is very weak. Tottenham Hotspur will definitely use this opportunity to regain possession of the ball, and then use the organization and creativity of the midfielder to create threats.

In this case, Ferguson can only let Rooney come back and strengthen the midfield.

Even so, after a goal, the situation on the court has been completely broken, and there is no possibility for both sides to continue to be content with the status quo, so Manchester United also began to actively attack, hoping to equalize the score, even It's a reversal of Tottenham Hotspur.

After Ye Qiu brought the team back to the 433-[-]-[-] tactic, the overall formation did not shrink back. Ferguson often said that Tottenham Hotspur was a team that played aggressively, and Ye Qiu himself felt the same way. Since it was a team that played aggressively, Then there is no reason to directly give up the initiative and the hard-won advantage to the opponent when the first goal is scored.

The two sides played a live attack, and the happiest thing is Andy Gray.

The Premier League celebrity was smiling and overjoyed during the commentary. He seemed even happier than Ye Qiu who scored the goal.

"In fact, we have to admire Ye Qiu. This is how many times he has scored goals through substitutions and adjustments in stalemate situations. In the past, when Tottenham Hotspur were still relatively weak, he did it. This is often the case, but with the prosperity of Tottenham Hotspur, it is becoming more and more difficult to see Ye Qiu's genius."

"This time against Manchester United, it was his adjustment during the intermission, which worked again, and let everyone see his ability to command and adjust the team on the spot, as well as his excellent and keen tactical sense."

The two sides played more and more actively, and the game gradually evolved into a confrontational battle.

As Ye Qiu said before, what Tottenham Hotspur are most afraid of is head-to-head battles, because in the entire European football world, no team can beat Tottenham Hotspur when playing head-to-head games .

Of course, this refers to under normal circumstances.

Therefore, when Manchester United, which was behind, played against Tottenham Hotspur, which was ahead, Ye Qiu was not to mention how happy he was, while Ferguson on the sidelines kept calling the players and making adjustments. .

But now the Manchester United players on the football field are wild horses that have run free, and they can't be pulled back.

Soon, Tottenham Hotspur got a chance to counterattack. Yaya Toure intercepted the ball in midfield, David Silva got the ball and passed through, Messi passed behind and gave Cavani, The latter was assigned to Ribery on the right, and then rushed forward by himself. After using Ribery to attract the attention of Vidic and Evra, he ran out of the gap in front of the goal.

Scarface used his personal ability and speed to flash a gap, and was assigned to the middle. The unguarded Cavani easily scored the ball into Van der Sar's goal, 2:0!
