Tottenham (4-2-3-1)

Goalkeeper: Lloris

Guards: Aurier, Davinson Sanchez, Dier, Ben Davis

Midfielders: Moussa Sissoko, Ramla, Winks
Forwards: Son Heung-min, Harry Kane, Steven Bergwijn
Head Coach: Mourinho
Tottenham's lineup wasn't entirely their starting eleven, as several players tested positive.

Manchester United also didn't field their full starting lineup.

Rodri, who was highly anticipated, did not start but instead sat on the bench.

"Following the pandemic, FIFA made a series of changes to the rules of football, including VAR rulings for handballs in the penalty area and the issue of substitutions in cases of brain injury."

"We'll analyze those matches in more detail later. Let's take a look at today's match first!"

Top post on Dongqiudi: Tottenham Hotspur vs. Manchester United, Premier League Round 30, currently 0-0.

It's quite interesting that both sides hadn't played any official matches for a full three months before this game started.

Yesterday, Arsenal, one of the BIG6, had a poor performance. Will Tottenham and Manchester United, also members of the BIG6, encounter the same problem?

"Let's go!"

boom!
A through ball was precisely delivered to Dembele, who cut inside to receive it.

Tang Ye passes to Dembele; this is a very standard attacking combination for Manchester United.

Dembele gets the ball!
He was preparing to cut inside further, but encountered Sissoko's defense midway, so he had to pass back.

For De Jong who came up next!

De Jong gives Wan-Bissaka another chance!

First, get hold of the ball.

In this situation, a long pass to Rashford would be the best option, but players familiar with Wan-Bissaka know that the Manchester United defender would never do that.

Snapped!
He passed the ball to De Ligt next to him, who took a step to adjust and then launched a long kick.

The target is Rashford!

Stop the ball!

A very poor first touch; Rashford didn't even touch the ball.

But Rashford was smart; he quickly chested the ball forward and managed to stabilize it.

Just then, Martial arrived to provide support.

Snapped!
The pass is delivered, and Martial stops abruptly with a touch of the ball.

Rashford makes a run down the wing!

It seems Martial is looking for Rashford, but his real target is Tang Ye, who just came up next to him.

Give it to Tang Ye first, and then Tang Ye will give it to Dembele in front of him.

Dembele lifted his left foot, letting the ball roll in front of him.

At this point, Dembele was already a shadow striker.

Adjustment……

Cut inside!

Snapped!
He took a shot with his left foot; the ball bounced in the six-yard box before going into the net.

The ball went in!
"The ball is in!"

"Dembele!"

"Manchester United scores in the 18th minute!"

Dembele went to the sidelines to celebrate.

He originally intended to be arrogant, but finding no fans in the stands, he turned to the camera and yelled at it.

"Barvo! (Beautiful!)"

Tang Ye hugged Dembele.

"Oh dear, Lori made a super, super, super huge mistake!"

"Yes, you shouldn't have been unable to save that shot, because the ball wasn't actually that fast."

"The ball wasn't fast, but the angle was tricky! This is a complete display of Dembele's individual ability!"

Manchester United's first league goal since the restart!

From Osman Dembele!

"Beep!"

They hadn't scored in a long time, so the celebration took a while and only stopped when the referee blew his whistle.

In just over a minute, Mourinho berated the Tottenham players from beginning to end.

The match has resumed, and after the series of adjustments just now, Tottenham is now clearly much more stable.

Sissoko's position is very deep, which means that from a bird's-eye view, Tottenham's team is basically in a five-defender formation, like a long bus parked in front of the goal.

Tottenham seems a bit timid!
With the first half reaching the 32nd minute, Manchester United still led by one goal, and Ten Hag made his substitution early on.

"Here it comes! Manchester United's first substitution!"

"Rodri replaces McTominay! Haha, the Red Devils' midfield trio is finally complete, just as the fans have been waiting for!"

"Yes, that's what I told Coach Zhan at the start of the game. FIFA rules have changed since the restart. The number of substitutions has increased from 3 to 5, which allows coaches to make more frequent changes to the players on the field!"

The increase in the number of substitutions is essentially FIFA's way of protecting players after the pandemic.

What if running too hard causes myocarditis? The best solution is to increase the number of substitutions, which would allow players who have lost control of their running distance to catch their breath.

Rodri handed De Jong a note as soon as he came on the field, and then quickly got into the game.

Snapped!
Son Heung-min delivers a cross from a 45-degree angle!
Find Kane in the mid lane!

Kane easily stopped the ball.

At this point, the Tottenham striker was still quite a distance from the goal, so he had to be careful.

However, Kane soon encountered a problem.

De Jong and Wan-Bissaka come up together!
Manchester United applied intense pressure, forcing Kane to find passing options.

However, the only two return routes have been locked by Tang Ye and Rodri respectively.

boom!
De Jong and Kane collided, and Wan-Bissaka ultimately made the steal.

"Pretty!"

"Manchester United's defensive execution was flawless!"

"Let's take a look at the attack..."

The counter-attack was launched, and Wan-Bissaka dribbled the ball all the way to the middle.

He is one of the few Manchester United players who has never been positive for COVID-19, so his running speed is beyond question.

After advancing more than 30 meters, Wan-Bissaka finally delivered his pass.

Rashford has the ball!

clap clap!

After a one-two with Tang Ye, Rashford arrived near the baseline.

Snapped!
The cross was delivered, targeting Martial in the penalty area, but Martial's shot was easily caught by Lloris.

It was really disappointing, because from God's perspective, Martial's shot was no different from simply passing the ball to Lloris.

"..."

"Kane!"

"Hey, I can't get the ball at all!"

"Yes, I feel that Ten Hag must have prepared specifically for this match."

Manchester United under Ten Hag are stereotyped as reckless, but this match proved to be a far cry from those stereotypes.

After Rodri came on, Kane's performance was immediately dragged down a level, and he didn't even have a chance to touch the ball.

Just before the end of the first half, Kane was about to run back to receive the ball when De Ligt suddenly rushed up and kicked the ball away.

fuck!

Kane has absolutely no chance to get the ball; that's the situation he's facing right now.

……

Halftime report: Manchester United lead Tottenham 1-0 at halftime in their first match after the restart, with Dembele scoring his first goal since the restart.

"Huffing and puffing, huffing and puffing"

"Whoosh whoosh"

The away team's locker room was filled with the sound of players panting.

"Damn, damn, this is exhausting."

Wow!
Tang Ye washed his hair with mineral water.

Others may not know the effects of infection on the body, but Tang Ye, who has a health panel, knows all too well.

Losing 2 points of stamina on the first day of infection, and not being able to recover it for more than ten days, is really frustrating.

But Tang Ye has Red Bull to boost his stamina, while the other players are having a harder time.

"Those full-backs of theirs seemed to be just standing there the whole time, not running an inch. I'm really fed up."

Tang Ye and Dembele were talking.

These two Manchester United players talked for a while on their way back to the locker room.

In short, Tom and Osman have already planned how to play the second half! "Tom, how are you feeling right now?"

Van der Gach walked over: "I saw your heart rate was over 140 at the 40-minute mark."

"it's okay no problem"

When do you want to change it?

"I want to finish the game."

Tang Ye answered decisively.

Having not played professional matches for too long, he needed to relieve his craving with 90 minutes of high-intensity play.

"What!?"

"Finished kicking? What about your myocarditis then?"

Tang Ye shook his head: "Nothing will happen, trust me, go ahead and do whatever you want."

"..."

Van der Gach remained silent, only retreating further: "Aren't you afraid?"

"I'll be fine in a day."

"..."

The second half has begun!
"Son Heung-min!"

"Take the corner kick!"

Tottenham's corner kick was won by Sissoko at the near post, who immediately passed it across.

De Ligt and Bailly sat down at the same time!
boom!
Block the ball!
Aurier tried to get a follow-up shot, but he didn't make contact with Tang Ye, and the ball naturally went to the latter's feet.

"Go! Go! Go!"

Manchester United launched a counter-attack!

Unlike Tottenham's counter-attack from a corner kick, Manchester United's counter-attack was much more aggressive.

Why is Manchester United considered reckless?

Because in many cases, Manchester United's counter-attacks will not exceed 3 shots!
Snapped!
[De Bruyne's Standard Long Pass Level 6: Unashamed to Ask Questions]

A long pass was precisely delivered to Dembele.

"Oh my god!"

The commentator wasn't surprised by Tang Ye's pass, because such a pass wasn't unusual for him.

The commentator was surprised by Dembele.

When did Dembele run out?
Dembele dribbled the ball forward, his feet moving rapidly, and you could even see afterimages in the shot.

Dembele's dribbling with both feet is so fluid, he can even switch between his feet faster than Hazard!

Run forward!

Dembele wanted to create a one-on-one opportunity, but Tottenham didn't give him that chance because Dier effectively marked the inside.

If you can't get in, then there's nothing you can do but slow down.

Thanks to Dembele's long run, Manchester United now only need one pass to keep the ball in possession just outside the penalty area.

Wan-Bissaka came up from behind!
Dembele stopped the ball in place and suddenly accelerated toward the right byline.

Wan-Bissaka came up from behind and played a through ball to Dembele.

Snapped!
A cross is delivered!
Wan-Pysacca!

boom!
The ball went in!
"Oh! Wan-Pissaka!"

"2:0!"

Everyone says Wan-Bissaka isn't a good shooter, but he still managed to score in the very first game after the restart.

[Awesome!!!]

[England's First Bulldozer!]

[Even his shots were slid in, Wan-Bissaka, he really... I cried.]

【Ha ha ha ha】

Why has Tang Ye disappeared? Where is Tang Ye?

[Are you looking for a scolding? You couldn't see that powerful long pass, you only saw the goal?]

Today's match undoubtedly generated the most buzz since the resumption of the top five European leagues. Manchester United fans and Chinese fans, who had been cooped up at home, could finally engage in a battle of wits in the comments section again!
Mbappe fans?
kill!

Are you a Ronaldo or Messi fan?
Kill them all!
There can only be one king of football!
His last name is GG!

In the 70th minute of the second half, the fourth official raised his substitution board, with a total of six players from Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur standing next to him, making for a rather spectacular scene.

"Hey, Tom!"

Hearing his teammate call his name, Tang Ye turned around and looked in the direction De Jong was pointing.

He's been substituted!
"Eh?"

Tang Ye pointed to himself and expressed his confusion to Teng Hahe: "What is this? No, wait!"

Ten Hah didn't speak, but simply beckoned to Tang Ye.

Come down here, Tom!

"..."

Dongqiudi live match report: In the 71st minute, Manchester United and Tottenham made 6 substitutions, with Rashford being replaced.

Tang Ye and Rashford walked together and waved to the camera.

"get off work"

Tang Ye was helpless; to be honest, he really wanted to score a goal in the first game of the restart.

But it doesn't matter anymore, Manchester United's first win after the restart is already a done deal!

Mr. Eric

Tang Ye hugged Teng Hah: "You have to get down and rest, no question about it."

"Okay, I understand."

Tang Ye shrugged helplessly, pinched Ten Hag's shoulder, and then went back to the bench to rest.

"..."

"Beep, beep beep!!!"

The match ended with a final score of 3-1. Except for conceding one counter-attack goal, Manchester United almost completely dominated Tottenham.

The game wasn't perfect, but considering the score and the fact that Manchester United hadn't played for three months, it was still pretty good overall.

……

Premier League official: Dembele named MVP of the Tottenham vs. Manchester United match.

"Well, thank you"

Tang Ye and Dembele attended the interview together.

Due to epidemic prevention and control requirements, there were not many people in the press conference room today.

"Dembele was the MVP of this match, without a doubt, I don't think that's a question."

Tang Ye was asked many questions, including his evaluation of the performance of several Manchester United starters, which is something he should do as captain.

"And what about Kane? Many fans believe Kane was the worst-performing starter in this match."

"..."

“Harry is excellent, he’s a very strong center forward, you know that better than I do, and we have a lot of experience playing against Tottenham, their attacking line is very good.”

After asking questions about the players, the reporter then turned his attention to Manchester United's upcoming schedule.

It's been a month, and Manchester United still has eight Premier League games left to play.

"I know, you said it yourself, it's hell. We're all in hell, we're all the same, so I think all we can do is prepare ourselves."

Tang Ye shrugged: "But I think we do have some advantages because we don't have any players currently infected, and... well, I think we're very good at handling a tight schedule."

A packed schedule?

Eight Premier League matches in a month is indeed exaggerated, but you have to remember that this is Manchester United.

Tang Ye has been doing this ever since he joined Manchester United in 2017.

As Sky Sports commentators have said: TY is the player in the top five leagues who can adapt to a tight schedule, bar none.
