heir to the red devil

Chapter 1044 One blow kills!
When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the score was still 0-0.

The players of the two teams all returned to the locker room with unwillingness, ready to listen to the latest instructions from the head coach.

In the Tottenham dressing room, Pochettino looked at his players, his brow furrowed.

Sun Xingmin and Eriksson were sitting on chairs, gasping for breath; Captain Kane was also very tired, and the other teams also looked tired to varying degrees.

Pochettino knew that after his team fought continuously, their physical fitness had a big problem.

In fact, before this game, Pochettino had anticipated this situation, but he had no other choice.

Pochettino gritted his teeth secretly: If I can have the depth of the bench like Kintag, I can also break my wrist with Manchester United!
But seeing this situation, Pochettino has nothing to do.

He had no choice but to make substitutions and adjustments.He replaced Sun Xingmin and Eriksson, replaced Lamela and Sissoko, and the team also changed from a 4-3-3 formation to a 4-4-2, leaving only Kane and Lucas.

At the back, Pochettino replaced the slightly injured Alderweireld for a young Davinson Sanchez, who cost Spurs €4000m in the summer transfer window. , is also one of Pochettino's new favorites.

In this way, Tottenham have used up three substitutions with 45 minutes left in the game. If they have any injuries in the future, they will have fewer people to fight.

At this time, Pochettino felt a little regretful. He felt that his arrangement for this game was a bit sloppy. If time can be reversed, he will definitely rotate some players so that the main lineup can have more impact, and it will not be early. Three precious substitutions were used up.

But time cannot be turned back. Pochettino's own choice can only be borne by himself.

In the mobilization before the game, Pochettino's tone now appears to be much calmer: "You were able to hold the game at Old Trafford and did not let Manchester United score. I am very satisfied. I hope you will continue to maintain this in the second half of the game. As long as we can take one point away from here in a game, we have achieved our goal."

Pochettino set the tone for the counterattack in the second half, while in the home dressing room, Kintag did the exact opposite.

"Alonso, Kimmich, in the second half, feel free to step forward!"

"De Bruyne and Kroos, both of you should step forward as much as possible and participate in the offense to the greatest extent. The defense can be safely handed over to Kanter."

"Guys, Tottenham will definitely play a defensive counterattack in the second half, and even replace the main players. You can press forward boldly and don't have too many scruples. We must take advantage of the home court and strive to score as soon as possible to win this game. Game win!"

As soon as the second half of the game started, the eyes of the Manchester United players suddenly lit up!
What Jin Taige said was true. Tottenham replaced three players in one go, and also recovered their formation and played a defensive counterattack!
Especially after replacing Sun Xingmin and Eriksson, Tottenham's offense suddenly dropped a notch.

In the first half, Alonso, who was tortured by Sun Xingmin and had a headache, suddenly felt a lot less pressure. Facing the newly replaced Sissoko, Alonso was not afraid of him!
After breaking the ball off Sissoko, Alonso began to perform.He went all the way along the left for half the field, facing Lamela's approach, Alonso passed the ball to Kroos in the middle, the two made a two-for-one, and then Alonso dribbled the ball straight in Tottenham's restricted area!

"Alonso got past Sissoko and he was in the danger zone of Tottenham!"

"Tottenham's right-back Kieran Trippier went up and Alonso cut inside and came to the edge of the box!"

"A volley! The ball hit the crossbar! What a pity!"

"Just now Alonso's shot was heavy. Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris tried his best to save it, but it still didn't help. Fortunately, Tottenham were lucky today, otherwise Manchester United would have already led the score!"

Alonso, who lost his chance to score, kicked the turf hard: "It's so depressing!"

At this time, both Salah and Griezmann applauded him again and again, expressing their admiration for his shot.

A few minutes later, Alonso's attack came again.This time it was a continuous pass between Salah and De Bruyne. Salah suddenly inserted into the penalty area and attracted most of Tottenham's defense, and De Bruyne suddenly distributed the ball to the left.

"Salah inserted into the penalty area, he and Griezmann formed two attack points in the penalty area!"

"The Tottenham defender is very nervous, watching the Manchester United striker closely!"

"Lamela returned to the defense, just sticking to De Bruyne, preventing the Belgian from taking a shot. De Bruyne flicked his ankle and the ball flew to the left!"

"Alonso goes in at high speed and gets the ball! A precise cross! Griezmann grabs the goal! The goal is in!!!"

"In the 67th minute of the game, Manchester United finally broke the deadlock! They passed a wonderful frontcourt cooperation, assisted by Alonso on the left, and Griezmann's astute grabbing goal was a fatal blow!"

"This ball is a credit to the Manchester United team. Salah's forward movement and De Bruyne's wonderful side-division are all due!"

"1 to 0! Manchester United finally leads the score!"

Griezmann, who scored a key goal, rushed to the sidelines excitedly to celebrate the goal with the fans.

Mbappé, Salah and other players also rushed towards him and hugged the Frenchman.

Alonso, who assisted, has also become the object of everyone's praise.

"Maxie, your pass is amazing!"

"Maxi, this year's best left back must be yours!"

Off the court, Jin Taige also applauded and smiled on the sidelines.

Although he has experienced countless victories and goals, he is still excited every time he breaks the opponent's goal. He smiled and said to Scholes and Ferran beside him: "Although Alonso's defense Not as good as Kimmich, but Alonso's offensive ability is definitely the top in the world!"

Scholes also agreed: "In fact, I think the best team selected by FIFA last year, the left back should not be given to Marcelo, but to Alonso. After all, from all aspects, no matter the honors obtained, In terms of personal performance, Alonso has surpassed Marcelo, and he is only 27 years old, which is the golden age of a player."

And Phelan was very excited about this goal: "We finally broke the deadlock, great! Now Tottenham are playing a defensive counterattack, and their main offensive points Sun Xingmin and Eriksson have also been replaced. The number of players has also been used up, even if we counterattack now, there is no chance, we are stable in this game!"
