This game is very important for Soskjaer, last week they were slaughtered by Liverpool at home 0-5, now every game will be related to the coaching position of Soskjaer, in the middle of the week Sir Alex Ferguson had traveled to the Carrington base, but it is understood that he went to the event, Manchester United was training at the time, Soskjaer also denied that Ferguson had come to coach chess, but when you see tonight's Manchester United's squad and the final result, it is difficult not to associate these two things.
Home team Tottenham Hotspur row 4231, defenders Dier Eric Dale, Romero Christian Romero, Emerson Emerson Sousa, Ben Davies, back Hojbjerg Pierre Hoyber, Skipp Oliver Skipp, attacking midfielder Lo Celso Giovanni Lo Celso, two wings Son Heung-min, Lucas Moura Lucas Mora, forward Harry Kane Harry Kane.
The key was United's presence, with United scoring 352, with Soskaya throwing in all the centre-backs in hand, Varane Rafael Varane, Lindelof Victor Lindelof, Maguire Harry Maguire playing three centre-backs, full-backs Wan-Bisaka Aaron Wanbisaka, Luke Shaw, back McTominay Scott McTominay, Fred Santos, attacking midfielder B. Fernandes Bruno. Fernandez, forwards Cavani Edinson Cavani, Ronaldo.
It's almost all the defenders that United have been available since the start of the season, bailly Eric Baii and Dalot Diogo Dalot on the bench have barely used it, Matic Nemanja Matic may be the last remaining back-up, Soskjaer is really out of the way, once someone is injured, his only action is to change the formation back to the four, no one can rotate into the defense.
But Tottenham hotspur have obviously been affected, they have not played well since the beginning of the season, and now Manchester United is equivalent to setting up five defenders in the rear, so that Spurs, who are very dependent on Son Xingyu, only he has one stormtrooper, and he can't get over the side anyway, and Wan Bisaka looks like he is responsible for keeping an eye on him, the whole game is dead with Sun Ball King, at 34 minutes, Son Xingyu won a one-handed opportunity and was finally blown offside, but Wan Bisaka rushed all the way back to the box to shovel the ball away is also quite amazing.
Both Kane and Lucas don't seem to know what to say, Kane has been back in midfield to pass, but Tottenham Central Celso is not attacking midfield at all, they have always wanted to use the destructive power of the center plus Kane's retreat to divide the ball between the two wings, but the Manchester United defender has always stood up, Spurs seem to have no second move.
But Manchester United is actually not very good, this 352 is obviously in a hurry, Manchester United has not actually had a really beautiful attack, the central running position can be seen that there is no tacit understanding, but they do do according to the arrangement, as long as the middle road once can hold the ball, the winged full-backs come forward, especially Wanbissaka is particularly active, they go up is a foot cross, and then let Cavani force the ball in the penalty area, Spurs' defense is too poor, C Ronaldo and Cavani to the center of a stop, Spurs' defense line immediately shrank, As a result, the two wing defences were empty and the Tottenham midfielder did not follow to the end, which allowed Manchester United to form a pressure in the first half, Cavani got several headers, and the Spurs centre-back kept him on top like a fool.
Fernandez in the first half has been pretending to play attacking the midfield, in fact, he is a kick to find C Ronaldo when he counter-attacks, if he pushes up, he will run to the wing to assist the wing-back cross, in fact, he did not organize the ball in the center at all, because Manchester United put cavani and C Ronaldo two centers, there is no winger to let him pull, so this is actually a fake attack on the real back of the midfield.
In fact, Manchester United can only keep crossing, but Tottenham is too bad to deal with, in the first half Manchester United controlled the situation and the initiative, in the first half of the 38 minutes, Manchester United from Luke Shaw's cross began to fight in the Tottenham hot spot in the penalty area, C Ronaldo, Cavani, Wan Bissaka took turns to swing the stick and shoot did not kick, and finally Fernandez from the middle of the road to a direct pass to the right side of the small penalty area, C Ronaldo chased up, his explosive power completely broke through Davis, on the right side of the small penalty area line directly volley small jump shot through the far post.
The ball contained a major mistake by Tottenham defender Davis, who was first broken by Ronaldo with explosive force, after all, Ronaldo's anti-offside position of taking a step back into the defensive line and then rushing out was too beautiful, but Davis still had the opportunity to use his head to go to the top of the ball at the last moment, and he completely missed the ball and let the ball fall to C Ronaldo's feet.
Not long after the start of the second half, Spurs let Son Xingyu turn to the right, he was in a better position to this side, at least for Manchester United, but others are too wasteful, and Harry Maguire can stand slightly to the left under the three-centre-back system, which allows him to successfully clear the ball on the left a few times, he looks better and more focused in defense.
Spurs' chances in the first half were also driven by Son Heung-min, Lucas Mora was unable to rush behind the Manchester United defenders, plus Kane has been retreating, the forward running is not fast, Tottenham's players in the penalty area are often stared at by Manchester United defenders, and no one can have a long-range shot that is really targeted, Spurs do not hit the ground penetrating Manchester United behind or pick up leaks after pumping, because they have no such players.
Finally, at the 63rd minute, Spurs exchanged balls in the middle line, the back Skip did not handle it when he saw Fernandez suddenly rushing towards him, he stopped the ball into the air, Fernandez immediately lifted his foot to take the ball and began to counterattack, C Ronaldo rushed up, Fernandez handed the ball to C Ronaldo, C Ronaldo directly an oblique pass to Cavani to form a single knife, and finally Cavani easily scored a refreshing shot on the 18-yard line.
Tottenham's soldiers were defeated, the attack was completely paralyzed, but the defensive absurdity of the board was only called to spit rice, several times in the game Tottenham Defenders did not seem to be in charge of the offside line, Manchester United actually made many times to get the space behind Tottenham Hotspur, and Several Tottenham defenders did not chase back fast enough, simply could not defend.
Finally, on 86 points before the end of the game, substitute Nemania Matic gave a direct pass to Marcus Rashford, his good anti-offside action formed a single knife, and he played a small arc to break the goal.
In the end, Manchester United won 3-0 away to Tottenham.
Soskjaer's change of formation is really good, but in fact, I think this 352 has no effect, a big factor in this game is Tottenham's mess, Manchester United can not cause the situation of pressing on the middle of the road and then can shoot in this formation, even if it is a counterattack, it is not playing high speed, if Manchester United appears close to a single knife situation, it must be the Tottenham Defender's own mistake, in fact, this 352 may not be able to play against the strong team, and in fact, C Ronaldo scored a goal and an assist, and manchester United still relies on C Ronaldo to solve the problem, This is most likely a situation where blocking Ronaldo can destroy most of United's attack.
And this is indeed an open-minded game, it is really necessary to improve the defensive situation of Manchester United, now in addition to the defenders of the thicker defensive line, Soskia does not seem to be able to adjust them, this is not impossible, the problem is that Manchester United now has only these three reliable central defenders in the squad, and now all three are on, this is completely unable to have any injury Oh, and Maguire and Rafael are not very healthy now, if injured again, I see that Soskaya only has to change back to four defenders, or called Scott ... McTominay or Nemanja Matic went to play centre-back (Fre was too short) and there was a problem with positioning.
The three defenders can only solve the urgent need, if this position is really to be established, Manchester United must at least buy one more center-back, and then both full-backs must be able to form a rotation, and in actual combat, attack and defense must be supported, I think Luke Shaw is unlikely to last a whole season like this, this game Spurs is sent to Manchester United, the next schedule is still hard.
