Chapter 299 Not satisfied

Although Manchester United suffered three consecutive draws in the league and was overtaken by Arsenal, Ferguson still made a lot of rotations in this game. Ferguson surprisingly sent goalkeeper Carroll and forward Forlan to start. In addition, Ferguson

Skjaer also got a chance to start after being out for 6 months.

Manchester United has only won 3 games in the past 6 games. Tottenham, which has not beaten Manchester United in the past 7 seasons, hopes to use the opponent's sluggish state to end the embarrassing record. Former English footballer Redknapp, who has recovered from injury, appears on the bench.

Like London, strong winds are blowing in Manchester today.

After the game started, Tottenham took the lead and launched the offensive first. Although they were quickly pushed back by Manchester United, Bai Baihe's mentality was obviously different.

The first shot of the game came from Tottenham. Malny passed in front of the goal, but Robbie Keane missed the opportunity.

Van Nistelrooy then passed the ball to Forlan in the penalty area, but Gardner made the first clearance. Roy Keane also made a beautiful tackle on compatriot Robbie Keane in front of the penalty area.

In the 8th minute, Ruud van Nistelrooy's powerful volley went over the crossbar.

………………

In a fast-paced game, time flies by quickly, and 30 minutes are up in a blink of an eye.

David Pleat sat in the dugout, unfazed even though his team was under siege by Manchester United.

Yin Jun took the ball in the middle, and Manchester United moved back and forth in front of Tottenham's penalty area, but failed to find a suitable offensive path.

Ruud van Nistelrooy came out to meet him, and Yin Jun passed the football to him.

"Ruud van Nistelrooy controlled the ball outside the penalty area. As a center forward, he did not stay in front of the goal, but pulled it out." Lineker said.

In today's game, Ferguson made appropriate rotations for the team, and he is already preparing for the next Devils schedule.

Because it was expected that Tottenham would adopt a relatively conservative strategy, Ferguson arranged a 433 offensive formation, with Ruud van Nistelrooy, Forlan and Solskjaer forming a front trident. In addition, the three midfielders were Yin Jun and Giggs.

A combination with Keane.

In order to open Tottenham's defense, Ferguson required the offensive players in the frontcourt to keep running, looking for opportunities, and weaving back and forth.

This time, Ruud once again pulled outside the penalty area.

Tottenham's central defender Gardner rushed out and built a defense line in the penalty area.

Anthony Gardner is 1.96 meters tall and weighs as much as 90 kilograms. He is super strong in confrontation.

Ruud was in possession of the ball, and he tried to pass the ball. Gardner extended his foot to intercept, but Ruud was just a fake move.

Ruud van Nistelrooy suddenly tried to break through, and Gardner came up to entangle the opponent. He thought he could use his excellent physical fitness to squeeze away Ruud van Nistelrooy and steal the ball. However, Gardner soon realized how difficult his opponent was: "

This guy is really good at protecting the ball!"

Van Nistelrooy held Anthony Gardner, who tried to steal the ball twice to no avail.

Suddenly, Fanny tried to turn around forcefully, and Gardner quickly moved his body to intercept. However, Fanny pulled his body back and twisted his butt to the other side. Gardner was squeezed away by the twisting of his butt.

Tottenham full-back Christian Ziege quickly came over to cover the defense.

This was the opportunity that Van Nistelrooy was waiting for. Before Ziege and Gardner could encircle each other, Van Nistelrooy passed the ball. He pushed the football through the gap between the two defensive lines.

………………

"Nice through ball!"

"Yin Jun!"

Yin Jun received the ball on the right. He did not choose to dribble the ball to continue the breakthrough or shoot. Instead, he directly pushed the football to the left side of the penalty area.

"Giggs!"

The attention of Tottenham's defense was attracted by Ruud van Nistelrooy's penetrating pass and Yin Jun who got the ball. Everyone thought that Yin Jun would choose to directly dribble the ball into the penalty area or choose to shoot.

I didn't expect him to pass from the right to the left.

The ball passed in front of the goal. Giggs suddenly ran forward, passed through the entire Tottenham defense and appeared behind them.

"Giggs! Not offside!!" commentator John Mortensen shouted at the top of his lungs.

There was an exclamation at Old Trafford, and some Manchester United fans could not wait to stand up, ready to cheer for Giggs' goal.

Giggs, who succeeded in countering offside, was very excited. He knew this was his chance.

When faced with the attacking Tottenham goalkeeper Keller, Giggs showed commendable calmness. He did not look forward or backward, did not hesitate, and directly shot into the far corner.

He rubbed the ball with the outside of his instep and the ball drew an arc and went around the left side of the attacking Tottenham goalkeeper Keller.

Keller had nothing to do with such a close and decisive shot. He could only hope that Giggs' shot missed. Then, he heard cheers.

Behind the goal on this side are the stands where Manchester United fans sit.

The Tottenham goalkeeper felt cold, he knew it was over.

In fact, this is the case, the football almost stuck to the inside of the far goal post and spun into the goal!

………………

The iconic roar of veteran BBC commentator John Mortensen rang in the ears of countless fans.

"GOOOOOOOOOAAALLLLLLL!!!!!!!!"

"Giggs! Giggs! Giggs! He scored, Manchester United scored!

"In the 30th minute of the game, Manchester United scored. 1:0! They took the lead!!"

"Beautiful!! Giggs' shot! Manchester United takes a one-goal lead!"

"A key goal. Facing a densely defensive team, the first goal is the most critical. This is the goal that breaks the deadlock."

"1:0, this goal means that Tottenham's stubborn tactics have failed. They are now behind in the score, and there is no point in retreating to defend. Once Tottenham presses out, it will mean more trouble for them.

Big, because Manchester United is one of the teams best at counterattacking quickly."

…

The Tottenham players obviously thought of this too, so at this moment, the Tottenham players seemed very frustrated, standing in the field in a daze watching the Manchester United people celebrating.

Giggs, who scored, opened his arms and ran towards the corner flag area. He waved his fist towards the stands in celebration.

In the footage, Manchester United fans rushed forward like a tide, celebrating excitedly.

"Come on! Red Devils!" the Manchester United fans in the stands of Old Trafford shouted loudly.

In the stadium, other Manchester United players also gathered around Giggs to celebrate together.

This goal was so timely and crucial, it was like piercing the window paper.

The game has been going on for half an hour, but due to Tottenham's conservative tactics and the strong wind on the field, Manchester United's passing accuracy has been affected, and Manchester United has not won many absolute scoring opportunities.

This will be the goal that opens the door to victory.

On the sidelines, Ferguson stood up from his seat, but he just applauded symbolically, and then stood there looking at the court. He did not celebrate wildly. He used this way to tell the players: It's just a ball, it doesn't mean anything.

Make him satisfied.
