Ferguson did his best to win this victory, and George was naturally unambiguous. Eager to win this master-disciple duel, and also to stabilize Tottenham's ranking in the standings, George also had no intention of letting the team stay or let go in this game, and sent out the strongest lineup at hand!
Of course, after learning from the experience and lessons learned in the previous game with Newcastle, George made certain changes to Tottenham's starting lineup tonight to avoid the recurrence of midfielders not being aggressive enough to insert and cut inside. The situation of Ba alone struggling on the front line.
The goalkeeper is still Petr Cech. Although the Czech national goalkeeper's performance after coming to White Hart Lane was not as amazing as when he moved to Chelsea in his previous life, it has also greatly enhanced Tottenham's defensive quality and goal safety factor. Tottenham have only conceded 12 goals in the league as the season is about to end, and Cech, as the main goalkeeper, can be said to have contributed a lot.
You know, in the Premier League last season, Tottenham conceded a total of 62 goals! The defensive quality is only slightly better than West Bromwich Albion and Sunderland, who are ranked at the bottom two in the standings, and not even as good as West Ham United, which is ranked third from the bottom in the league!
The starting full-backs were Heinze and Stephen Carr, with Phil Neville sitting on the bench. After all, although the latter performed well at the right back position, George was worried that Neville, who was a member of the Class of 1992 along with Giggs, Scholes and others and had played for the Manchester United first team for nearly ten years, would be difficult to deal with. Former teammates who knew him inside and out.
The central defender is a combination of Ledley King and Vidic. When there are no injuries, the Tottenham captain will always be the most reassuring gate in the defense; although the latter has been repeatedly abused due to his age and experience, he was once the most unstable in the Tottenham defense. However, the growth rate of Serbian and Montenegro central defenders is quite gratifying. In less than half a year, Vidic went from a defensive colander bullied by everyone to a rising central defender in the eyes of fans. The British media even lamented that George had a vicious vision, allowing Tottenham to make a deal this summer that was comparable to Stam's transfer to Manchester United.
In the midfield, George sent Mascherano as the single midfielder, and Carrick and Basturk formed a dual-core midfielder, instead of the commonly used configuration of double midfielders and a single core; Darren Anderton was removed, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who cut inside more frequently, took over as the starter, echoing Bierovka on the left.
On the forward line, just like against Newcastle, George only arranged for Drogba to advance forward. But this time, the Ivorian is no longer alone. His task is not to attack the city from the front, but to attract Manchester United's defensive power and create scoring opportunities for his teammates behind him!
"This kid George, it seems like he really used his true skills today." After receiving Tottenham's starting lineup for this game, Ferguson couldn't help but smile bitterly. Obviously, Sir Alex Ferguson has seen that Tottenham's change of formation is prepared to restrain Manchester United!
Sir Alex knew very well that if it was a frontal interception, Keane and Bart would not be afraid of any opponent. In comparison, their ability to assist defense is much worse. Tottenham sent the dual-core team of Carrick and Basturk, which undoubtedly took advantage of Manchester United's lack of ability to assist defense and used passing and cooperation to create Chance!
After the game started, Tottenham players took advantage of their home advantage to launch an offensive against Manchester United's goal. Manchester United, under the leadership of Keane and Butt, set up defenses layer by layer, intending to withstand the home team's three opening blows and look for opportunities to counterattack. !
Manchester United players are quite confident about their own defensive capabilities. Although Keane is one year older and Ferdinand's competitive state has been affected by the drug test incident at the beginning of the season, Manchester United's defensive quality this season has inevitably declined, but even so, it is not something that Tottenham can easily break!
With this mentality, Keane rushed forward with confidence, ready to intercept Basturk who was dribbling the ball forward. Although Basturk achieved impressive results in Leverkusen and the Turkish national team last year, in Keane's eyes, the guy in front of him is just taking advantage of his powerful teammates, and his ability is basically Not as strong as the media says!
However, something unexpected happened to Keane. Facing Keane's interception, Basturk first pushed the ball, then suddenly accelerated, forcing the Irishman to shift his focus to defend himself, then suddenly stopped and changed direction, and rushed over with the ball from the other side!
"Roy's confrontation ability and movement speed have declined significantly. Two years ago, Basturk would never have been able to break through Roy's defense so easily." Looking at being beaten by Basturk After Keane suddenly stopped and changed direction and accelerated, leaving behind him, Ferguson couldn't help but sigh to the new assistant coach sitting next to him, the Dutchman Meulensten, "It seems that, as George said, we must Find a reliable successor for Roy."
"Aren't Nicky (Butt) and Darren (Fletcher) both outstanding? Wouldn't it be enough to let them take over from Roy?" Meulensten asked with some confusion about Ferguson's thoughts. "Even if their individual abilities are not as good as Roy's at his peak, there shouldn't be much of a problem if they work together. Moreover, double midfielders are now the mainstream configuration in European football, and it won't be easy for us to follow suit. It’s surprising.”
"Allow me to think about it again." Ferguson agrees with Mullensten's point of view to a certain extent. But he still didn't want two people to be responsible for the work that Keane could have done alone. Moreover, George's transformation of Veron last season also successfully expanded Ferguson's thinking, giving Sir Alex Ferguson a new concept for Manchester United's team building plan.
At the same time, Basturk, who had broken through Keane's defense and was facing Manchester United's defense, was rapidly using his brain to consider his next action plan!
"Howard is indeed an excellent goalkeeper. It can be said that he is the most reliable goalkeeper that Manchester United has had since Schmeichel retired. At least, I think he is better than the one who is completely better in the national team and club. The French bald man was much better in both states." Basturk tried to recall George's analysis of Howard before the game. "However, this is only a relative theory. In fact, Howard's performance was not He is considered stable and is a very capable knife. Therefore, I ask you to shoot more cold arrows at the beginning of the game. If the opponent's response is not stable enough, then this is an opportunity for us to take advantage of!"
If that's the case, then I'll give it a try. Anyway, the game has just started, so nothing big will happen if you try it. With this in mind, Basturk made a slight adjustment and volleyed directly outside the penalty area!
Facing Basturk's sudden shot, Howard, who was obviously ill-prepared, subconsciously aimed in the direction of the ball and blocked it with both hands, narrowly blocking the ball out of the door!
Seeing Howard blocking Basturk in front of the goal line, there were sounds of regret from Tottenham fans in the stands, as well as the sounds of rejoicing from a few Manchester United fans. If Manchester United fell behind at the beginning of the game, then this game would be difficult to play.
After all, every fan knows that the most terrifying thing about Tottenham Hotspur is their defensive counterattack!
Unlike the Manchester United fans who breathed a sigh of relief in the stands, Howard did not relax his vigilance because of this successful save. The impact and touch from the gloves told the American goalkeeper that although the ball did not fly into the goal behind him, it did not leave his own penalty area either!
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Howard to find the ball that bounced back into his own penalty area. However, before he could rush over and collect the ball in his arms, Drogba rushed to the position first and shot the ball into the door in front of him, one to zero!
Although Tottenham were lucky enough to score a goal in the first attack of the game and established a lead in the score, I don't know if Tottenham has run out of luck or if Howard is under pressure. Due to the explosive properties of the nerve knife, Tottenham failed to further expand the score in the following time. Drogba and others repeatedly missed the goal, which attracted sighs from Tottenham fans in the stands.
Seeing that the time left is getting shorter and shorter, the team is still unable to open up the situation on the offensive end. Ferguson also began to mobilize his troops off the court. It didn't take long for Solskjaer to replace Butt, and use a forward to replace a defensive midfielder to strengthen the offense - after all, in Sir Alex's view, since There is definitely no point to be gained if you lose, so there is no difference between losing one goal and losing two goals in this kind of game. Therefore, it is better to let the team give it a try and see if it can create another reversal miracle.
Facts have proved that Ferguson's substitution was an extremely wise decision. After the game entered stoppage time, Manchester United received a corner kick. Since there is not much time left, this is basically regarded as Manchester United's last offensive opportunity in this game. So, Ferguson simply waved his hand and drove all the Manchester United players on the field into Tottenham's penalty area!
Therefore, after Giggs took the corner kick, the Tottenham penalty area immediately became chaotic. Everyone is desperately trying to touch the ball, complete the final blow against Tottenham, or help Tottenham beat Manchester United and narrow the gap between them and the top team!
However, at this moment, an unknown foot suddenly stretched out from the chaotic crowd, hit the ball that was passing in front of the goal, and then kicked the ball into the goal guarded by Cech!
The Tottenham players hadn't fully reacted or even realized it. They only saw Boll, who was the referee of this game, pointing to the center circle of the court with one hand, indicating that the goal was valid!
"Solskjaer! It's Solskjaer again! His goal once again saved Manchester United and brought the Red Devils back from the brink of defeat!" Seeing Solskjaer help Manchester United equalize the score in the last minute, as Andy Gray, the commentator for this game, roared passionately. After all, this kind of last-minute goal always makes people feel excited.
"Solskjaer's super substitute attribute is really frustrating." Seeing the three-pointer he was about to get fly away, George had to accept this reality with a wry smile. George also feels very troubled about Solskjaer, the super substitute. After all, the Norwegians are just like Italy's Inzaghi. They usually have no presence on the court, but whenever a scoring opportunity arises, they will always appear in the most dangerous place and give their opponents a fatal blow!
In the end, when referee Boll blew the whistle for the end of the game, Tottenham Hotspur, playing at home, drew one to one with the leader Manchester United in the focus of the 17th round of the Premier League. The Premier League hegemon got a valuable point!
