heir to the red devil

Chapter 501 Because I'm Not There!

At half-time, in the home dressing room, Pochettino criticized the performance of the team's defense, which should bear a lot of responsibility for the goal just now.

In the second half, Pochettino made substitution adjustments. He replaced Ben Davis with Danny Rose. Davis was in poor form today, and he was the biggest responsibility for the conceded goal just now.

Then Pochettino replaced Paulinho with the young Dell.Paulinho has been underwhelming since his move from Brazil's Corinthians to Tottenham in the summer of 2013.The head coach Boas, who was very optimistic about Paulinho at first, has already left the team. Now that Paulinho has not seized this precious starting opportunity, it seems that his time at Tottenham may have entered the countdown.

In the locker room of the visiting team, Kintag did not make substitution adjustments, he made changes to the team's tactics.The changed position is left.

In this game, Ashley Young replaced Mahrez. He worked hard on the left and played very hard, but he did not perform well.Whether it is dribbling or speed, he is incomparable to Mahrez, and his precise pass also lost his sight today. His greatest contribution in the first half was to serve Manchester United through active running and fighting. Many opportunities have been won.

When Jin Taige saw this characteristic of Ashley Yang, his heart moved immediately.At present, there is no one available on the left side of the Manchester United team. If Ashley Young is replaced, then the midfielder can only be used as a left midfielder.

Therefore, Kintag made a bold adjustment during the halftime break, so that the positions of left back Alonso and Ashley Young were exchanged. Ashley Young retreated to play left back, and Alonso pressed up to play full-back.

At the beginning of the second half, this tactical adjustment immediately had an effect.

Although Alonso has always played the position of left back, his offensive ability is also very outstanding. In cooperation with Mahrez, he often assists the frontcourt to help the team's offense.And his free kick skills are getting better and better, and now most of the team's corner kicks are given to him to take the penalty.

In the second half, he came to the position of the left midfielder, and his offensive ability was well utilized.

He crossed after many breakthroughs from the left, and Lewandowski got several very threatening shots.

And Griezmann also slowly moved to the left in the second half to cooperate with Alonso.

In the 66th minute of the game, Alonso and Griezmann played an exquisite cooperation.

After Alonso broke through from the left, he crossed the ball to Griezmann next to him, and then ran to the side. At this time, Tottenham's right back Kirikesh followed Alonso to the side. .But unexpectedly, Griezmann stuffed the ball directly to the edge of the penalty area.

At this time, Alonso suddenly cut inside knowingly and received the ball.He took a long shot directly from the penalty area line on the left, and the ball flew to the goal against the turf.Lowry fought hard to save, but still missed the ball.

2 to 1!Manchester United lead the score away!
After scoring the goal, Alonso was very excited. He rushed to the coach bench of the visiting team not far away, and hugged Kim Teg tightly. Kin Teg was also very happy. He shouted in Alonso's ear: "Ma Kos, you are the best player of the day!"

"Boss, thank you for bringing me to Manchester United!" Alonso also shouted loudly.

At this time, Pochettino kicked the water bottle on the ground hard.

Lost the ball again!Another mistake by the defense!
Then he was relentless and immediately used the third substitution: Kyle Walker replaced right back Kirikesh. It was Kirikesh who failed to mark Alonso just now, which caused the The team conceded the second goal.

Since Danny Rose and Kyle Walker came on the field, Tottenham's defense has improved a lot. Manchester United's wing breakthroughs have gradually quieted down, and they have fewer opportunities in front of the penalty area.

Although Tottenham's defense has improved, their offense still cannot open the situation.

Especially after Ashley Young came to the position of left-back, through his running without hesitation and experienced experience, he made Manchester United's defense on the left side impeccable, making it impossible for Tottenham to penetrate the left side; Under the leadership of Nemanja Vidic, it is like a copper wall and an iron wall, which cannot be penetrated at all.

The game ended 2-1.Manchester United scored two goals in the away game, and they have already stepped into the door of the League Cup final with one foot.

After the game, a reporter asked Jin Taige: "In the last league game against Tottenham, Manchester United only got a draw; but this game won an away game. Has your team changed?"

Jin Taige showed a confident smile: "We didn't win the last game because I wasn't there; but we won today's game, which is what we deserve."

A reporter with good deeds edited and misinterpreted Kim Taeg's words and released them.For example, Wolfe of the "Sun" wrote in his column.

"Kintag said: As long as I'm on the sidelines, Pochettino can't beat my team!"

This sentence was extremely provocative, and Jin Taige was a little dissatisfied after reading it.These English media always hope to seize a sentence or a move, and then make a big fuss, creating conflicts and news.

Jin Taige wanted to say something at first, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. It was just a sentence. If he deliberately explained it, it would seem that he was afraid of Pochettino.

This matter is over.

But when Pochettino saw the news, he was furious!
This Jin Taige simply didn't pay attention to me!

So when he was interviewed by the media, he vowed: "In the next round of the game, Tottenham will definitely be able to defeat Kintag and Kintag's team at Old Trafford!"

Pochettino's words are no longer "Manchester United", but "Kintiger" and "Kintiger's team".

Between the two semi-finals, there was an FA Cup fourth-round match between Manchester United and Cambridge United.In this game, Kintag let the main players rest to prepare for the second round of the next League Cup semi-final match, and he sent a substitute lineup.

This League Two team faced the mighty Manchester United. They had no way to fight back. They were beaten 3-0 by Manchester United at their home court. Their hopes of advancing to the next round of the game were completely shattered.

The most outstanding performance in this game was Icardi, who scored two goals and one assist, becoming the best player in the game.He used his own efforts to fight for the position of the main force from Jin Taige.

But winning the underdogs in the second division is not very convincing to his strength, so Icardi still needs to continue to prove his worth...
