Giggs, Henry, and Gerrard sat in the stands and moved the fans.

In that era of Premier League hegemony, as the captain of a traditional giant, the three-person team contributed countless classic games.

In the Champions League, they are also regulars in the top eight, and even occupied three of the top four in one season.

Nowadays, these once brilliant stars actually go to White Hart Lane to watch the game in person. This is the greatest affirmation for Tottenham's upstart.

"Ryan, do you Manchester United pay attention to this humble game?"

Gerrard and Henry knew in their hearts that Giggs' purpose of coming here was not just to watch a game.

After retiring last year, Giggs served as Manchester United's acting head coach for a period of time.

After Moyes officially became the head coach, he served as an assistant coach.

David Moyes, who has the aura of being Ferguson's successor, led the Red Devils to only fourth place, treading on thin ice every step of the way.

He had not reached the heights desired by the club and fans and was dismissed in April last year.

Now that Giggs is assisting Dutch coach Louis van Gaal, his inevitable goal is to inspect Rossi, a newcomer who has suddenly emerged this season.

The team's main forwards include Rooney, Robin van Persie and Falcao.

The first two are over 30 years old, and Falcao is also 29 years old. He has only a few years left in his prime, and someone must take over.

Although Januzaj is young, he does not seem to be capable of taking over this responsibility.

Ashley Young often recovers from injuries. Although the newly added Di Maria is very capable, he is somewhat incompatible with the team's tactical system.

Manchester United must prepare for the future of the team.

Back to the game.

After Tottenham kicked off, they concentrated their forces in the center.

The four of Kane, Eriksen, Townsend and Shazley formed a small area of ​​​​cooperation in the middle and used skillful passing to mobilize Leicester City's defense.

These four players not only have outstanding foot skills, but are also very comprehensive and can be interchanged in any position in the frontcourt.

Flexible position changes allowed Leicester City's defense to lose focus.

Acting coach Craig asked the players to press high and focus on intercepting and interfering with the opponent's passes.

Today's Tottenham Hotspur are experiencing a youthful storm, with high impact and concentration on the game.

If you want to use the high position to press, you must first run better than them.

Pearson has been focusing on the team's physical fitness, because today's high press has gradually become a defensive tactic favored by many teams.

If you want to play defensive counterattack, the team must have players with speed and strong finishing ability, as well as a core midfielder.

But there are too few such players.

Craig requires the players to run actively to make up for their technical deficiencies, so as to prevent the opponent from advancing easily.

As the two sides concentrated their forces to fight in the middle, the two wings were very open. Tottenham's two full-backs moved forward and acted as full-backs to attack both sides of Leicester City.

Tottenham's defensive midfielder Bentaleb retreated to the back line and formed a three-centre-back system with his teammates.

The three of them are relatively spread out in the backcourt and can receive back passes from teammates to break the opponent's high-position press.

The two full-backs can then fill the space behind the two full-backs.

This is the change in Tottenham's attack led by Pochettino.

And this change will continue to change with the situation of the game.

In the 8th minute, Rossi retreated to increase the numerical advantage in the midfield, and he and his teammates suppressed Tottenham's attack on the right side.

Eriksson wanted to move the ball safely.

However, Schlupp's interference caused his pass to make a mistake and was intercepted by Matthew James.

After losing the ball, Tottenham's four frontcourt attackers quickly dispersed and pressed and counterattacked Leicester City on the spot.

The two full-backs also quickly returned to their defensive positions, and the formation changed to 5-3-2.

Under such circumstances, even if Leicester City succeeded in stealing the ball, they would not be able to launch a counterattack immediately.

Craig mused that although the opponent could not counterattack, the opponent also failed to cause trouble for his defense.

As he strives to be on the safe side, he still wants to maintain a balance on the scene first, without making any rash advances or clinging to any defensive positions.

To take away a point at White Hart Lane, he has completed his task well.

But the effect of the high-position press at the beginning was far beyond Leicester City's expectations.

In the 10th minute, Leicester City used high pressure, causing the defender to make a ball error, and passed a long ball to the left midfielder Shazli.

Nugent took off and competed for the top, overpowering Shazley and tipping the ball to Matthew James.

Tottenham immediately counterattacked, with defensive midfielder Ryan, attacking midfielder Eriksen and Townsend double-teaming him.

Matthew James took the ball and took a step toward the open space on the left. Seeing Rossi on the far end, he passed the ball to the wing without hesitation.

Full back Kyle Walker, who was supposed to be guarding Rossi, saw Matthew James moving laterally and was still hesitating whether to step forward to defend or retreat when the ball had already been passed behind him.

Rossi quickly moved forward, and while running at high speed, he gently took the ball with his right foot and took it forward.

Kyle Walker was very fast as he chased back, but he never dreamed that Rossi would start so quickly.

Fortunately, it is far enough away from the goal and can be chased back.

[Beautiful, Luo's stoppage is perfect, he has already entered the penalty area, and the defender is chasing him.]

【Shoot!】

Oops!

Amid the screams of the home fans, Rossi shot before Walker could catch up.

The ball slid past the goal, grazed the far post and rolled out of the baseline.

Fortunately, I didn't get in.

Walker, who was still frightened, broke into a cold sweat and almost lost the ball because of his own mistake.

After the attack, Craig also applauded Rossi.

After the first two games, the team has gradually matured in its tacit understanding of counterattack.

In this attack, from pressing to counterattack, the players understood and executed the tactics very thoroughly and played very resolutely.

Pochettino rushed to the sidelines and reminded the players to pay attention to defense, especially the two wings, and not to hesitate at all when attacking and defending.

After being sneak-attacked by their opponents, Tottenham players began to stabilize their minds and look for opportunities on the wing through passing passes.

Although Leicester City uses a 5-4-1, in many cases, Schlupp, as the left-wing back, needs him to run actively and open up the situation for the team after breaking through vertically.

In the 20th minute, Leicester City once again took advantage of their numerical advantage to suppress Tottenham's attack on the left and caused them to make mistakes.

Tottenham also counterattacked on the spot. Kane and Townsend pressed forward step by step. Eriksen and Shazli pulled aside respectively, forming a 2-2 position in the frontcourt, forcing Leicester City to return the ball.

Own half.

Craig's face changed slightly, Tottenham really dared to play and put so many people in the frontcourt.

Captain Morgan passed the ball forward to Rossi who was retreating to receive the ball.

But center back Verhentong actually followed Rossi to the center circle to cover the gap left by Shazli, and Tottenham's formation changed to 3-2-3-2.

Without the space and opportunity to pass the ball, Rossi could only return a safe ball to his teammates.

Through this counterattack, we can see that Tottenham's flexible formation changes during the game can suppress the opponent's counterattack at all times.

Even though Craig was aware of the opponent's tactical pressure, he failed to make reasonable adjustments immediately. He could only ask the players to strengthen defense after losing the ball.

In the first 35 minutes, Leicester City used a wide range of runs to limit Tottenham's offense.

With such a strong defensive rhythm, the players' physical fitness also began to show signs of crisis.

As the game entered the 40th minute, Tottenham's advantage finally became more and more obvious.

In the 42nd minute, Tottenham attacked and Eriksen retreated to get the ball. At this time, full-back Walker moved forward and turned into a right winger to receive the pass.

After Walker got the ball, he used his speed to advance the ball. After attracting Schlupp and Upson to defend, he passed the ball diagonally to Eriksson who came in behind.

This side is Leicester City's strong defensive side, but because of Walker's forward penetration, the defense was too tight, leaving Eriksen unguarded in the ribs.

Eriksen, who was unhurried, looked up to see where his attacking teammate was at the far end and made a pass to find Harry Kane in the middle.

Upson's previous defense put his team's defensive numbers in the penalty area at a disadvantage.

Morgan and Huth alone cannot guard Kane, Shazley and Townsend.

Kane, who is 188cm tall, leaped high without anyone guarding him.

Huth wanted to rush to make up the defense, but was a step too late and watched the ball fly into the net.

The long-awaited goal at White Hart Lane has finally arrived.

The goal was scored by the future star they had high hopes for, Harry Kane.

White Hart Lane is boiling.
