Chapter 79: Covering the sky with one hand! (Fourth update, please subscribe)

At this time, in the Manchester United locker room.

Mourinho briefly reviewed the first half of the game, and then said in a deep voice: "Tottenham's pressing is relentless and almost regardless of the time of day, which will make them look tired after a while!"

“.”

Chu Feng looked at the tactical board carefully, listened to Mourinho's explanation, and gradually formed his own understanding.

Tottenham's tactics mainly have three core elements, namely unlimited pressing, front and back double-teaming and keeping the ball away from the core area.

Pochettino has used it to the extreme and achieved great results, but it also involves great risks, which is equivalent to walking on a tightrope at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

If tactics fail, there is little room for recovery.

All it takes is a technically superb player with good vision, such as Willian, De Bruyne and others, to use large-scale transfers to penetrate Tottenham's defense during the transition from offense to defense.

And I can try to play this role In the away dressing room at this time.

Pochettino was not too anxious and conveyed his calmness to the players.

"In the second half, we continued to increase the intensity of the pressure and try to consume the energy of Manchester United players as much as possible."

"Remember, you must learn to move ahead of time and predict your opponent's offensive intentions. This is what we practice on a daily basis."

"At the same time, when the opponent passes the ball, everyone should try to stretch their feet to interfere in a practical sense."

"Finally, we use physical confrontation to make our opponents fear us!"

Although Pochettino appears to be honest and simple, he actually has South American blood flowing in his bones. The unrestrained and rough style has long been integrated into his tactical philosophy.

Son Heung-min sat in the corner of the locker room, with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

The fifteen-minute break passed quickly, the players from both sides returned to the field, and Old Trafford returned to its bustle.

Beep! With the referee's whistle, the second half of the game officially began.

Tottenham's overall formation moved forward quickly and launched a fierce high-pressure attack, without paying any attention to the players' physical fitness.

In such a situation.

Manchester United players couldn't control the ball at all, so they simply gave it up and retreated to defend.

Fortunately, they have experienced Klopp's "crazy running style" before, and have some experience in dealing with it, which is to firmly occupy the offensive three zones.

Relying on their "beautiful" goalkeeper De Gea, Tottenham allowed long shots in non-dangerous areas.

This really made De Gea very tired.

When the situation on the field was at a stalemate, Zhan Jun took the opportunity to give the fans some scientific knowledge.

"Based on Manchester United's recent games, De Gea's PSXG is as high as 12.5, which is 4 points higher than Lori."

"By the way, PSXG means 'the goalkeeper's expected number of goals conceded minus the actual number of goals conceded'. The higher the value, the higher the goalkeeper's level!"

"Beautiful! De Gea, another save!"

"The current record for saves in a single Premier League game is 14, held by Kluer and Manno."

"It looks like De Gea has a chance to break the record!"

The screen was filled with comments, and Chinese fans also began to praise him. - [He can cover the sky with one hand!] - [A divine duck descended from the sky!] - [Beautiful frontcourt, De Gea in the backcourt!] - [Manchester United seems to have never lacked good goalkeepers, Schmeichel, Van der Sar, De Gea.] - [This is the tradition of the Red Devils!] - [As an Arsenal fan, I am so envious!]

At this time, the Tottenham players on the green field were also a little confused. They felt like they were NPCs, helping De Gea to get good save data.

According to Pochettino's arrangement, he originally wanted to use pressure to accumulate enough advantages and then seize the opportunity to equalize the score.

But Manchester United didn't control the ball at all and stayed in the 30-meter area.

Mourinho on the sidelines vaguely realized that the situation had changed. After all, Tottenham players are not robots and certainly cannot maintain high-intensity pressure for 90 minutes.

This is the "fatigue period" that comes once in a lifetime.

So he quickly gestured, signaling the Manchester United players to wait for an opportunity to attack.

67th minute of the game.

After receiving the ball, Son Heung-min cut inside the middle, made a simple wall pass with Ali, and then took a long shot directly.

The football flew towards the goal, but was blocked by Phil Jones' body halfway out of the penalty area.

Tottenham players immediately double-teamed the visitors, trying to delay Manchester United's counterattack even if they couldn't get the ball.

But after nearly 70 minutes of high-intensity exercise, their physical fitness has declined rapidly and the speed of compression has slowed down a bit.

Matic seized this opportunity to turn around and pass the ball to Chu Feng in front of him.

But the Tottenham players seemed to be prepared and immediately changed direction.

Trippier moved from back to front, Dembele moved from right to left, and Eriksen moved from front to back, forming a tight pressure line and quickly surrounding the target.

Chu Feng took in all the movements of the three people, and at the same time observed Mata with his peripheral vision, and he immediately made a decision in his heart.

After several months of targeted training, his vision has improved a lot compared to before.

So he pretended to break through with the ball.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Seeing this, Eriksen immediately moved inside to defend Dembele's area.

And at this moment, Chu Feng suddenly pulled the ball back.

Instead of advancing, they retreated. Isn't this slowing down the offensive rhythm? Before the fans could figure out the problem.

With a crisp sound, the football spun and fell to the right side, Tottenham's high pressure was broken, and even the overall formation was in chaos.

"pretty!"

Mata subconsciously exclaimed in praise, thinking that Chu Feng's practice with Carrick was not in vain, this long pass was just right in terms of power and timing.

Manchester United instantly shifted the attack to Tottenham's weak defensive side and created a numerical advantage in a small area.

Lukaku moved forward like a tank, suppressing Tottenham's defense.

Ibrahimovic followed along the middle, ready to respond at any time.

Right side of Tottenham's penalty area.

Facing Danny Rose, the future full-back who would be fired by Tottenham, Mata did not get entangled with him at all and simply passed the ball across the middle.

Ibrahimovic stopped and dribbled past Winks, and stopped the ball half a meter in front of him.

He seemed to recall the scene of dominating the football field, with infinite confidence echoing in his chest, without any hesitation.

Shoot with all your might!

The football flew straight towards the goal like a cannonball.

Lowry stretched his body to the extreme and blocked the ball with one punch.

"A powerful shot!"

"Wow, a world-class save by Lori to keep Tottenham Hotspur safe!"

There was a constant stream of regrets at Old Trafford, with Manchester United fans covering their heads in disbelief. They could not accept that such a high-quality long-range shot missed the target.

Tottenham fans breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they also had a goalkeeper they could trust.

"Hey, whose is the two o'clock?"

As the camera moved rapidly, the football fell into the left rib area. Since the Tottenham players all moved to the right side, this area was very empty.

Suddenly a red figure entered the picture.
