Chapter 66

There was an accident on the Internet, which forced yesterday to be no update, depressing...

Few people know that Ferguson and Capello talked on the phone and initially reached some consensus.

Naturally, no one doubted that there was something wrong with Ferguson's use of Thirteen.

It's like many Manchester United people didn't take the bad news about Thirteen after that game seriously.

There are no doubts within Manchester United. Of course, several people who can raise doubts have already got what Ferguson said, such as Van der Sar, Meulensteen and McPhelan.

As for Tony, forget it!In his eyes, as long as Thirteen is allowed to play, the sky in England will be wonderful.

But during this period, only the other two coaches who were laughing knew whether Ferguson took the opportunity to rip off Tony.

In the first game at the beginning of December, Ferguson really put Thirteen in the starting position.

Although Ferguson's plan in mind is to give Kushchak a chance, it's not just about money, he hopes that the Pole can stay. Although this man owes something as a main force, he can't do what a substitute should do. missing.

At the beginning, Foster was let go not only because he was relatively expensive, but also because Foster had been unlucky in the goalkeeper position. There was no such thing as a buttery hand, but there would always be inexplicable conceded goals. , either the defender's own goal or the opponent's shot was weird, which gave Ferguson a bad impression to a certain extent, but Kushchak is obviously better in this regard. Although he also conceded goals, these should be normal no matter what. acceptable.

However, the decisive appearance of thirteen in this game is also a statement, a response after talking with Capello.

This is the quarter-finals of the 2009/10 English League Cup. The game was played at Old Trafford. Manchester United played against Tottenham Hotspur at home.

This is not the first time the two teams have met in the League Cup. In the League Cup final last season, Manchester United had a goalless draw with Tottenham within normal time, and finally reached the top 4-1 in the penalty shootout. To a certain extent, Ferguson is still quite afraid of Tottenham. Of course, no matter what kind of mentality he is, the old man will never let it go. If you are afraid, you should follow your own rules.

Although people can see that Manchester United is dominated by relatively young players in this game, but not many people dare to underestimate this lineup that has been held back for a long time, because in Manchester United, being relatively young is only relative, not necessarily Young players, their references are Van der Sar and Giggs.

Berbatov, who missed nearly 5 games due to a knee injury, recovered from his injury and played against his old team again.

Dratt, Park Ji-sung, Gibson, who rarely played this season, and long-term fixed substitutes Anderson, Obertin and Welbeck played in rotation. Owen entered the bench. As for Mike Taylor, he seems to be used to the position of the substitute. His current position is very Contradictions, say Giggs's substitute and Obertain, say it's replacing Scholes, Carrick and Fletcher have performed well, now he is more competing with Anderson for a midfield position, But I don't know what kind of considerations, Sir Alex always put him on the bench. He has been on the bench in recent games. Whether it is the Champions League or the league, he is treated the same. I didn't expect it to be the relative's turn. The easy League Cup is also still a substitute position.

Such an arrangement even made many people wonder whether Ferguson is cultivating another super substitute.

However, Ferguson himself is very satisfied with the current lineup. This is the main lineup of Manchester United in the next few years. No matter what lineup the opponent sends out, Ferguson intends to use this team to go to the end in the League Cup. He believes in the strength of these boys , and use more high-quality games to temper the bench lineup, Ferguson is also happy to see the results.

But no matter what the arrangement is, Manchester United's goal of winning will not change.

As soon as the game started, Manchester United gave the visiting Tottenham a bad start in the first attack. In only 52 seconds, the kick-off Tottenham had not passed the center line. Anderson, who jumped forward, snatched Palacios near the center circle Then Dawson broke through and shot 20 meters away from the goal. At this time, Foster was not prepared at all. Seeing the football fly to the right side of the goal, his mind was in a mess. I don't know if he was lamenting himself. He was unlucky, and he had to be humiliated by his former teammates before he even touched the ball when he returned to Old Trafford.

But today, at least for now, he is still lucky. The football flying towards the goal is too powerful. When Anderson shoots, the football is moving at high speed, so there is nothing to do about some unexpected deviations.

Fans behind the goal can even hear the crisp sound of the football scraping against the left post.

But it is clear that Manchester United players who have not been able to start for a long time have an offensive desire at this time.

Taking advantage of the opponent's unsteady foothold, Manchester United fired consecutive shots. Redknapp on the sidelines was terrified. He was also very depressed to meet Manchester United in the quarter-finals, and because of the rules He has to fight away. He is really helpless. As a sniper at Old Trafford, he has little hope. Although he is really not convinced by Ferguson, there is not much he can do at this time. All he can do is to do his best. .

However, Tottenham's improvement is astonishing. They have always performed well in England's domestic cup competitions, and now they and Manchester City are also a new force in the top four of the league. Such a team is indeed a very strong team, especially theirs. When the main force is exhausted.

Ferguson's idea is actually not complicated. It is to use his new force to attack the opponent, press the opponent to fight, and try not to give them a chance.

The actual situation of Manchester United is actually very difficult, especially in the defense line, the injury has been constant and has not been complete.

Therefore, Manchester United did not dare to relax at all in this game. Shots are a deadly means. Of course, the opponent can still resist!
Berbatov received the ball with his back to the goal near the penalty area line, and he wanted to pass it to Gibson who was in the middle. The Irish midfielder just hit the ball with a strong shot. I don’t know if Foster’s face is green, but everyone can understand , if they are continuously bombed by Manchester United, Tottenham will not last long. After all, their advantage is offense, and defense is still not up to standard.

Fortunately, although the players on Manchester United's side were full of anger, they were a little eager after all. A lot of flowers bloomed, but they didn't bear any fruit. Naturally, Tottenham would also take the opportunity to sneak attack.

After Lennon received the pass from the backcourt from the left, he relied on his speed to overwhelm Gary Neville and then made a low pass to the center. Bentley stepped in to block Brown and shot the goal, but Thirteen, who was about to pounce, looked bored at Wei Dickie blocked it for him.But obviously Tottenham didn't just rest like this, and it was rare to fight back, so it had to make Manchester United nervous.

The ball blocked by Vidic was kicked out by the returning captain, but the football did not fall to the Manchester United players. Palacios, who received the ball, unloaded the ball and passed it directly to Robbie Keane in the frontcourt. , the Irishman moved to the side, and when Anderson lost his position, he suddenly knocked the ball to Defoe at the top of the penalty area. Defoe, who stabbed Manchester United once last time, obviously has not found the feeling. A player like him It makes people feel that some people are crazy, they can score five in a game, but he may not be able to score when he is needed.

Shisan easily confiscated his shot, and this was Shisan's first touch of the ball in this game. He may not have felt anything, but he didn't know that this was the beginning of his real journey to the world football stage.

All previous performances and all data can only be regarded as a warm-up.

Of course, there are not many such opportunities. Although Tottenham's offense is still strong, they encountered normal players today, a group of dissatisfied guys.

And the trend of the game was also shown in this way. Manchester United took the lead in the 16th minute.

After Brazilian midfielder Anderson and Obertan cooperated on the left, they attacked near the Tottenham penalty area. Facing Houton who was defending, Anderson suddenly crossed the front of the penalty area. The Irishman Gibson stepped in and shot the ball.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLL, Darren Gibson!"

Thirteen was blocked from his sight, but he felt that the ball was relatively good, and the football on the opposite side did go straight to the bottom left corner of the goal and into the net.

It was the Irish midfielder's first League Cup goal.

Seeing the teammates celebrating in front, Thirteen, who had felt a little cold, became eager. Of course, he was looking forward to the opponent's attack, but he couldn't say such thoughts.

And one goal behind, Tottenham did play a more skilled offensive routine.

Baier went down from the left. There were Defoe and Bentley in front of Manchester United. The Welsh youth passed the ball across the small penalty area and found Defoe in the back. Thirteen did not attack, but the England striker shot He didn't make any effort, because there are many people who helped him plug the bullet hole today. Of course, Thirteen can't say that his teammates did something wrong. No matter how good it is, there are not many dramas, so why do you work hard, you have to miss two if you have nothing to do!
And Shisan's secret slander is not over yet. Tottenham defender Hutton, who inserted an assist, received the ball on the right side of the Manchester United penalty area and made an assault, entangled with Vidic who was defending and fell to the ground. Seeing this situation, Thirteen He was calling for a penalty kick, but he can only fantasize about it today. There is really nothing wrong with him, and the referee simply ignores it. This is Old Trafford, not just any referee who dares to award a penalty kick when he comes of.

Then the two sides got back on track, switched offense and defense, and fell into a brief stalemate.

Half an hour later, Tottenham counterattacked and became a threat. Defoe stepped back and took the ball. After seeing the situation in the frontcourt, he passed it straight to the penalty area. Robbie Keane slashed out and received the ball on the right side of the penalty area. Slow down, keep up, under such circumstances it is not easy for Thirteen to attack, seeing that the opponent is about to break through to the small penalty area, Vidic suddenly fell to the ground and shoveled diagonally, the Irish striker staggered, but the football was shoveled out of the baseline by Vidic.

Thirteen was very depressed, but he still wanted to express his gratitude to Vidic for his efforts with an expression of "brother, don't do it".

Manchester United did not slow down their attack. With less than 10 minutes left in the first half, Berbatov retreated again to receive the ball, and then elegantly distributed the ball in the middle.

After receiving the ball, Gibson, who was active, made a two-for-one cooperation with the retreating Welbeck before cutting to the top of the arc in the penalty area.

“Darren Gibson, GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!” This time the Old Trafford commentator shouted over the cheers of the fans as Gibson scored his second League Cup goal.

This time his run-up was quite sufficient, Welbeck's pass was in place, the arc of the penalty area kicked his foot, and the instep directly collapsed on the football. Although Foster in front of the goal was well prepared, he faced this kind of fast running. Shooting to the blind corner, you can only do your best and obey the destiny.Obviously, this time he was unlucky, and the football went into the net against the inside of the right post.

"Tsk..." Ferguson was also a little helpless in the trouble of happiness. He originally arranged Gibson to play to give this young player some hope, but he didn't expect that some hope is too high now. With two goals, is it possible to let him play more in the future. "Aubertin, Gibson, Anderson, Mike, alas..."

Ferguson looked at Mike who was sitting on the bench chatting with Kiko again. He was a little depressed. He had prepared the opportunity for Mike, but he didn't expect Darren to snatch it first.

"It seems that you should make the rotation of the midfield more thorough. Who knows which of these guys is better than whom?" Tony felt that his back was hurting when he stood up, and said sarcastic remarks to the old man.

But the old man seems to be in a good mood now. Of course, it is a kind of psychological relaxation to get the advantage of two goals in the first half. "These kids didn't get the chances they wanted to play. Of course I hope to give them more opportunities to play, but they should face the pressure of competition. If they keep the rotation, they may not really score [-] points." s hard work."

"That's what I said, but you can't keep guarding some old guys!" Feilan also stepped in.

"How old are Carrick, Anderson, Fletcher, and Mike? Besides, Scholes and Giggs can still handle the game, even more useful than these little guys. Many times I don't feel at ease and just hand over the game like this." Let them play. But then again, there are many opportunities for Carrick and Fletcher to partner this season, and it is time to try other combinations. I don’t know if Mike and Fletcher will start together. Affect the defense!"

"Okay, we all know you want to use Mike, but we didn't say anything. Don't keep mentioning him in front of us. Be careful and get tired of hearing it. We will deny him that day!" Don't change the subject indiscriminately.

For Gibson, who has renewed his contract until 2012 before the season, Ferguson is still very supportive of him, but in terms of Manchester United's current midfield configuration, Mike's chances are greater than Gibson's.Moreover, Mike's ability to control the game is more mature than the other young people, and with Ferguson's iron support, Manchester United's future midfielder must have a place for Mike.

However, in the near future, his chances may not be more than Thirteen. If Hargreaves comes back, Manchester United will transform into a technical midfielder. The chances of Mike and Anderson may change, but in the Premier League, the technical flow will eventually Still at a disadvantage.

After the [-]-[-] lead on the field, Manchester United's appropriate contraction gave Tottenham a lot of opportunities, but today Thirteen seemed to be more repulsive to football, and the shots of Tottenham's frontcourt players continued to miss the goal.

The first half ended in Redknapp's helplessness. What adjustments will he make to deal with Manchester United's defense at halftime?
