Chapter 427 Make Red Devil No. 7 great again!
“The ball went in!!!”
“GOAL~~~GOAL~~~GOAL~~~”
“Martial was the first to break the deadlock! This is His fifth goal in the league this season!”
“It was our Super No. 7 who assisted him!”
Unsurprisingly, Manchester United, playing at home, took the lead in penetrating Tottenham's goal through a fierce offensive!
After scoring the goal, Martial rushed to the corner flag area with open arms, jumped up, and celebrated with an uppercut.
After completing the celebration, he did not forget to turn around, put on what he thought was the friendliest smile, and pointed with both hands at the oncoming Ling Feng.
"Ling, thank you for the instant transmission!"
"Great job! Anthony!"
After that, the two of them hugged each other.
As a talented prodigy who emerged from nowhere and the "new Henry" touted by the media, Martial once thought that he was Manchester United's chosen son.
So, when Mourinho forced himself to give up the No. 9 jersey and Ling Feng took away his own tactical position, he became dissatisfied.
It’s actually not bad to give Ibrahimovic his jersey number.
After all, the opponent is a long-established superstar in football and a senior.
Whether it is status or qualifications in football, nothing he can compare with.
Who is Ke Lingfeng?
Even if he has the Premier League championship and the Europa League championship, he still has the European Cup Golden Boot.
So what?
He is a golden boy and I am a golden boy.
I'm no worse than him!
However, as the team made rapid progress in the league and the Champions League, the arrogant Martial gradually realized a fact that he was reluctant to admit:
Whether it is talent, In terms of ability, Ling Feng is much stronger than him!
Moreover, he gradually discovered that instead of going against Ling Feng, it would be better for him to be good to him, which would be more beneficial to him.
Because, playing football next to Ling Feng is so relaxing and comfortable!
As long as he is willing to run into the open space, Ling Feng will always send the ball to his feet comfortably, and then he will get more space to shoot.
There is no need to dribble too much to break through and confront the opponent's defender head-on.
In this way, I can play more easily, and goals and assists can come easily.
As his game attitude became more positive and he ran more on the court, he gradually regained Mourinho's trust and became the team's first choice as a left winger.
However, as a treasure of the team's youth training, Rashford still shares his playing time to a certain extent.
Moreover, Rashford has shown a relatively high scoring efficiency whether in lineup rotation or when coming on as a substitute.
In order to stimulate healthy competition between the two, Mourinho called the two to the office and said frankly:
"Whoever of you is in better condition, I will start. !”
Looking at the scene of Martial and Ling Feng hugging each other, Mourinho on the sidelines also smiled with wisdom.
This season, with the arrival of Ling Feng, Manchester United finally has a real organizational core in the frontcourt, and the offense also has a structure.
In addition to the biggest beneficiaries, Ibrahimovic and the rejuvenated Rooney, frontcourt players such as Rashford, Martial, Lingard, Mata, etc., all played more easily under Lingfeng's team. , more confident.
Because they know that as long as they run out of space, Ling Feng will pass the ball.
It is precisely because of Ling Feng that they are more willing to run more.
According to statistics, so far in the league, Manchester United has averaged more running distance per game this season than last season. A whole six kilometers!
And these six kilometers are equally divided among the four frontcourt players and two defensive midfielders who cover a huge area.
This is equivalent to everyone running an extra kilometer in every race!
You know, football is played while running, not standing.
Only by running can you create more opportunities!
Although he lost the ball first.
However, the young people of Tottenham were not discouraged, but instead inspired their inner courage.
What about Manchester United?
What about the top spot?
I, Tottenham, are fearless!
Ever since, after kicking off again, Tottenham launched wave after wave of offensives.
With Pochettino's training, the front four move very frequently, and each one has the ability to attack the goal, making them completely undefeable.
The two wingers on the left and right of the frontcourt are both inward-cutting types.
Both Son Heung-min and Eriksen are accustomed to leaning towards the center, and then leaving the wing space to Walker and Rose, the most powerful wing combination in the Premier League.
The two full-backs' assists made Tottenham's offense more layered and more diverse.
"Eriksson's long shot was slightly higher!"
"Ali shot! De Gea made a wonderful save!"
"Kane! Unfortunately, this header hit the goal post"
Facing the attacks of Tottenham's youth team, Manchester United's defense was obviously not used to it.
Although Smalling and Bailly were able to cope with the high ball crosses from the two full-backs and Kane's grab in the middle.
However, they gave too much space to Ali, who came from behind Kane like a loach.
Just five minutes later, Eriksen put the ball in the middle. The ball split wide, and Walker, who came in at high speed from the right, made an unreasonable move. After passing Luke Shaw, he went down and completed an inverted triangle pass.
Ali, who came in at high speed, completed the follow-up push shot in the area slightly in front of the penalty spot before Kanter could return to defense!
Bang!
The ball shot out and got into the lower right corner of the goal before De Gea went to the ground.
“GOAL!!!”
“Dele Alli!”
"This White Hart Lane genius scored again! Helping the team equalize the score!"
The next second, as Ali ran to the corner flag area and kneeled gracefully, the visiting fans in the stands, He also gave him warm cheers.
Within thirty minutes of the first half, both sides scored a goal.
Moreover, the scene is exciting and the rhythm is full.
Both sides held nothing back and staged a passionate battle for the fans!
Under such a fast rhythm of offensive and defensive transitions, Manchester United's disadvantages gradually became apparent.
After all, compared to Tottenham’s frontcourt quartet, who are all in their twenties, Manchester United’s frontcourt quartet includes Ibrahimovic and Rooney, both of whom are over 30 years old. veteran.
In the team's frontcourt pressing system, the tall Ibrahimovic has certain privileges, and the pressure does not need to be too strong.
On the contrary, Rooney takes on more defensive tasks in the frontcourt.
This results in his physical energy consumption being greater than that of Ibrahimovic.
Fortunately, with his physical fitness, he was able to persist in the first half of the game.
Finally, the first half of the game ended with the back-and-forth between the two sides attacking and defending each other.
The two sides returned to the locker room with a score of one to one.
When the Manchester United generals returned to the locker room, they immediately took off their wet jerseys and wiped their bodies with towels. From Rooney, Luke Shaw, Martial and others who were gasping for air, we can see how big the pace and intensity of this game is.
It can be said that this Tottenham team is the third team that can make Manchester United feel the most pressure this season, besides Chelsea and Barcelona!
They are young, impactful and aggressive.
The most important thing is the desire to win!
In just ten minutes of the second half, Tottenham once again showed the offensive vitality of Youth Storm!
Son Heung-min took the ball on the left and made a breakthrough.
Taking advantage of Rose's high-speed rimming behind him, which distracted Valencia's defensive attention, the Korean king suddenly cut inside, widened the angle, and fired a long shot!
Fortunately, De Gea was focused and flew to make a save, blocking the ball.
However, the ball bounced off the goalpost, then bounced and landed in front of Kane in the penalty area.
Of course Tottenham No. 10 was not polite and directly pushed into the empty goal to overtake the score!
"Harry Kane!"
"Tottenham overtook the score again at the Theater of Dreams!"
"This is the third goal of the game, and the game is not over yet!"
"We may continue to witness more Goal!”
De Gea was very angry about this goal and even hit the ball in the goal with a vent.
He was not angry at his teammates, but at himself for the save.
Why didn't you save the bottom line directly, or save the dangerous area!
Manchester United's offense has improved significantly this season, and the number of goals conceded ranks among the top in the league.
However, defensive attention has become a loophole in the team's defense.
Especially the tall Smallin, who always misses people.
If this ball is played, Smalling can concentrate and move to Kane's side in advance to provide some interference.
Instead of stupidly watching De Gea make a save instead of grabbing the second point.
Perhaps, Kane's follow-up shot in front of the goal will not be so easy
After leading the score again, the morale of Tottenham as a guest was high.
Under Pochettino's wave from the sidelines, the White Hart Lane youth army continued to maintain a sharp offensive momentum.
Obviously, they do not think that they can win the opponent if they lead by one goal!
When the game reached the 60th minute, seeing that Rooney's physical fitness could no longer keep up with the opponent's fierce attack, Mourinho waved to Lingard who was warming up on the sidelines without hesitation:
"Jesse! Get ready to play!"
Hearing this, Lingard immediately ran back to the bench, and then began to take off his warm-up vest and training clothes.
Three minutes later, a dead ball appeared .
“Seeing that the situation on the field was at a disadvantage, Mourinho took the lead in making substitution adjustments.”
When seeing the number on the substitution card, not only the commentator, but also Manchester United legend Neville, who was the guest commentator on the scene, showed doubts:
"Huh? Rooney was replaced. (Wayne)? "
"Replaced the captain on the field during the crucial chasing stage?"
"What is Mourinho doing?"
< br>It is worth mentioning that this is also the fifth time Rooney has been replaced early in the league this season.
Although I am unwilling to do so.
However, Rooney didn't have any, he just silently took off the captain's armband from his arm and handed it to Valencia.
Although the Manchester United captain does not feel old at all, his body is honest.
Whenever he made consecutive starts and played for sixty or seventy minutes, he obviously felt that his whole body was tired and his steps became heavy.
He knew very well that this was his body telling him that he was thirty-one years old!
It is also time to step aside and give more playing time and training opportunities to young people.
. .
After taking the lead again at Old Trafford, Tottenham did not control the rhythm, but continued to launch wave after wave of attacks against Manchester United.
In addition to putting greater pressure on Manchester United's defense, it also caused the entire formation to be pushed too far forward, exposing more space behind them.
When Lingard came on the field, he quickly used his abundant physical fitness and active running to inject vitality into Manchester United's frontcourt.
It was also when he returned to his own half a few minutes later, and after he and Kanter intercepted Son Heung-min's ball, Manchester United got a chance to counterattack!
Kante immediately passed the ball to Ling Feng in front.
With a [pull the ball back], Ling Feng passed by Wanyama, who was guarding him tightly behind him.
Seeing that Ling Feng was about to start the push, Wanyama, who had already lost his position, remembered Pochettino’s instructions before the game, and without hesitation stretched out his hand to hug Ling Feng and Manchester United. This is a chance to fight back.
The price for doing this was a yellow card and a free kick thirty-six meters away from the goal!
"Manchester United won a 36-meter free kick in the frontcourt."
"This distance is a bit far for other teams. But for Ling Feng, it is just right!"
“This season, he has scored two wonderful direct free kick goals. Let’s see if this will be the third one.”
Following, Ling Feng's powerful free kick has become his signature skill.
The heavy bombardment full of violent aesthetics has also become a nightmare for the goalkeepers of the other 19 teams in the Premier League.
Even the French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris stared at him as if he were facing a formidable enemy
The wall of Kane, Alli, Dier and Dembélé looked nervous and apprehensive. .
In this wall, three of them are Three Lions internationals, and they all know Ling Feng's free kick power very well.
They could only pray silently in their hearts:
“Don’t shoot me. Don’t shoot me”
At the same time, from the moment Ling Feng picked up the ball and arrived at the foul spot, the Tottenham fans at the scene tried their best to boo, trying to influence the Red Devils No. 7.
However, this does not help at all.
I saw him take a few steps back, without looking at the position of the goal. The moment the whistle sounded, he took decisive steps and rushed towards the ball!
Bang!
With a crisp sound, the ball shot out instantly and turned into an afterimage that was difficult to capture, drawing a strange trajectory over the Old Trafford Stadium!
First left and then right, in the blink of an eye, he flew into the goal guarded by Lori!
The white waves are rippling!
Lori, who was standing on the goal line, just remained motionless and shook his head helplessly.
Not to mention the weird path of Ling Feng's free kick, which is difficult to catch at all.
Even if he caught the flight of the ball.
However, just when his body was about to react, the ball had already flown into the goal.
Why do you fight this? !
“biu~~~Special!”
“A direct free kick from 36 meters away!”
“The Red Devils No. 7 scored again at Old Trafford De performed the violent aesthetics of long shot! ”
"It's not too much to call him the master of free kicks!"
At the same time, Sir Alex Ferguson and many old Red Devils fans in the stands had only one thought in their minds when they saw this free kick:
“This free kick is too unresolved!”
Even if they have seen Beckham’s full moon arc in this great stadium, they have also seen it. After Ronaldo's sudden drop in the elevator
And now, they saw Ling Feng's violent heavy artillery!
In the past, they always thought that this Red Devils No. 7 jersey seemed to have great heritage and magic.
No matter who puts it on, he will become a superhero of the Red Devils, leading Manchester United to overcome all obstacles and become invincible!
However, since Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid in 2009, they have discovered that not every "genius" and "superstar" can shoulder the weight of this jersey.
I also gradually realized that it is not the No. 7 jersey that makes players great, but the superstars of every era that make this No. 7 jersey great!
Best, Robson, Cantona, Beckham, Ronaldo.
Now, it's Ling Feng's turn!
And this high-spirited black-haired young man used his dominant performance on the court to turn the temporarily dim Red Devils No. 7 into a great one again!
