Chapter 212 Small Changes

With the referee blowing the whistle to end the first half, the ups and downs of the first half of the game came to an end.

2-2, when Tottenham was leading with a 2-0 advantage after more than minutes, apart from Manchester United fans who chose to believe it, who else could have thought that the Red Devils could equalize the score in less than ten minutes?
Therefore, even after the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the Manchester United players did not choose to return to the locker room immediately, but came to the stands together and interacted with the fans on all sides.

Qin Hu and Van Persie stood at the front, and as the two tall and handsome players waved their hands up and down, the whole Old Trafford started to play the Mexican Wave.

It was not until the human wave ended that the entire Manchester United team disappeared into the player tunnel amid the loud cheers of the fans.

……

"I can't say your performance was very good because you almost ruined the game."

Entering the locker room, Ferguson no longer gave face to his disciples like he did outside. He swept his eyes over the players present, and those who were directly related to the loss of the goal were a little uneasy.

"Luck may be part of the game, but what you have to do is to kill the opponent's chance to use their luck. Obviously, you didn't do that."

"..."

In fact, apart from the fact that Kane's shot was deflected and had a bit of luck, Bale's volley can really be said to be a top-notch shooting skill. Tottenham definitely had opportunities, but the Red Devils' defense was still a little slow facing the extremely fast and aggressive young opponent.

All in all, they really didn't do well enough.

"All the defenders should thank Qin and Robin. Without them, you would be the recipients of my great wrath now."

Fortunately, these words were not said in the form of a hair dryer, because the team equalized the score before the end of the first half, and Ferguson was in a good mood.

"In the second half, I hope you guys, who are already familiar with the opponent's offensive pattern, won't run into any more problems."

"Definitely not a BOSS!"

Ferdinand took the lead in responding to Ferguson, and young Evans finally stopped lowering his head and responded loudly.

As for Evra and Giggs, they were still breathing heavily because they had been defending Bale in the first half, so they just nodded.

"We must defend with all our strength. It doesn't matter if we run out of energy. There are plenty of people on the bench. As long as we can stifle the opponent's threat, everything will be worth it."

After tapping the tactical board that had been pulled to his side, Ferguson spoke to Giggs and Evra, which dispelled the last concerns of the two generals.

"Well, the focus of defense in the second half will still be on their left side, there is no doubt about that. As for offense, we will add some variables."

This was a small change Ferguson made after thinking for a long time, that is, Nani's position was pushed forward a distance from the wing forward.

"Since the opponent's threat on the right is very limited, then we should directly increase the intensity of attack on the left. Luis, you should also not be stingy with your physical strength."

"Understood, Boss!"

With Nani's nod, Ferguson's halftime arrangements were completed, and the Manchester United team was able to spend the rest of the rest time in peace.

When the door of the locker room was knocked again, Ferdinand stood up and led the team out again.

The two teams returned to the field one after another, and the confrontation between the large red and small white areas in the stands continued, but it seemed that the Tottenham fans' momentum was much smaller.

Zhan Jun, who was sitting in the commentary booth, knew clearly that during the half-time break that had just passed, Manchester United fans and Tottenham fans had a shouting match, and the visiting Bai Baihe fans ultimately failed to win even after shouting their throats out.

"Okay, welcome back to the game. Both teams are already on the field. Manchester United will kick off the second half."

“Shh! Shh!”

The long whistle sounded again, and Qin Hu pushed the ball out on the court. During the first part of the second half, perhaps because both teams had consumed too much energy in the first half, the two teams played quite peacefully.

When Manchester United had the ball, even Tottenham's front four, who pressed high in every game, did not come up to interfere in the first place.

It was not until the Red Devils controlled the ball for a while that the two sides came into close combat again, but this encounter did not pose much threat.

The ball possession kept changing hands in the next ten minutes or so, and Manchester United, who played steadily, gradually showed their advantage - rich experience.

Whether in terms of ball possession or the ability to create opportunities, the Manchester United midfield led by Scholes is better than Tottenham.

Moreover, Bai Baihe's team also discovered the problem, that is, their previously tried and tested tactic of launching attacks from the left was becoming increasingly difficult.

Giggs and Evra almost blocked Bale's route every time. Even if Bale forced a breakthrough with speed or simply separated the ball and ran along the sidelines, the young man still could not escape these two experienced players.

Although Evra and Giggs were also running out of breath.

When the game reached the 60th minute, Manchester United had accumulated enough advantage on the field. This time, anyone could see that Tottenham's three-pronged strategy was over.

After failing to provide adequate support in the middle and on the wing, the young Kane almost disappeared from the field. Having not yet grown up, it was difficult for him to take on more responsibilities in this situation.

Villas-Boas on the sidelines also began to become anxious because he saw that it seemed difficult for the team to break through the opponent's goal.

However, even more painful things are yet to come.

"Manchester United attacked again, this time it was Carrick who carried the ball forward. This player played very well in the defensive midfielder position in this game, moving forward from the left. Oh, Nani ran to the left winger position, and Manchester United's forward line became a trident configuration."

Qin Hu took the lead, Van Persie moved completely to the side, and with Nani's sudden intrusion, there was a brief chaos in Tottenham's defensive arrangement and personnel arrangements.

So, when Carrick faced the oncoming Sandro and easily passed the ball to Scholes in the middle, the Red Devils had a very threatening opportunity.

"Scholes rushed forward with the ball, and Dembele chose to tackle directly! He passed the ball without hesitation, and the ball was sent to the right!"

"Boom!"

Scholes fell, but the referee did not stop the game because Van Persie had already got the ball. While the referee indicated that the attack was favorable, the striker attracted the attention of two defenders and directly made a 45-degree cross.

"Shu~"

"Oh!"

Under the combined pressure of Gallas and Caulker, Qin Hu's header was not directed towards the goal. He used his scalp to create a strange and puzzling route.

When people shifted their attention to the end of the route, Nani and Walker, who was still half a body length behind him and was chasing him frantically, appeared in the picture.

"Nani, he got off the mark early and shook off Kyle Walker! Shot with the outside of his foot!"

"Oh!"

The strange arc of the shot with the outside of the foot made it impossible for Friedel to save it, not to mention that the shot was so close to the goal that the ball flew directly into the upper right corner of the goal.

"Goal! Nani! In the 67th minute of the game, he got in position early and scored the third goal for Manchester United!"

This was a victory in a tactical game. No one could have expected that Manchester United would suddenly change to 433 in an attack. The result was also clear. Boas, who was standing aside, covered his face in pain.
