"Friends, viewers, this is Sky TV Sports Channel. Now Andy Grey and Richard Keith are at Old Trafford Stadium to explain to you the focus battle in the second round of the Premier League season. The Red Devils and Manchester United face Baili Tottenham Hotspur at home."

"The Red Devils Manchester United's home record has always been very ideal, and the Old Trafford Stadium has been a nightmare for Premier League teams for a long time, but in the past two seasons, Tottenham Hotspur has performed very well against Manchester United, and they have achieved an overwhelming advantage. Not only that, Tottenham Hotspur has won three consecutive championships in the past three seasons of the Premier League."

When Andy Grey said this, he couldn't help but sigh, "A very excellent team and the strongest team in European football are now regarded by many people as the number one favorite to win the Premier League this season. If Tottenham Hotspur wins the championship again this season, they will create four consecutive championships that have never been seen in the Premier League in the past century."

Richard Kees immediately took the conversation when he heard this, "Yes, Tottenham Hotspur's performance is indeed very good, and this team has always been known for offensive football and has always been the team with the strongest attack power in the Premier League. But what is surprising is that Tottenham Hotspur's chairman and head coach Ye Qiu, in the past six months, has sold three midfielders including Yaya Toure, Fabregas and David Silva in one go."

"These three players are all top players in the world. After selling them all in one go, Ye Qiu introduced Pirlo, but the 32-year-old veteran has lost his main position in AC Milan last season. Many people even say that AC Milan without Pirlo won the Serie A championship, and Allegri also said that Pirlo is no longer indispensable."

"The other player is Chilean midfielder Arturodal from Leverkusen. If introducing Pirlo and people can understand Ye Qiu's intentions, then introducing Vidal is very strange, because this player seems to be inconsistent with the midfielders who focus on delicate skills and creativity in the past.

"That's right" Andy O'Grey took over, "And Vidal has never made a debut since joining the game. Some people say he is injured, but judging from the starting roster we got before the game, Ye Qiu finally has to take him out in this game."

Richard Keith smiled, "This season is a big bet for Ye Qiu. If he is not the team's chairman, even if he is Ferguson and Wenger, he will sell the three world-class midfielders in the team in one go. The fans' saliva will be enough to flood him, and the board of directors will definitely expel him."

"So, this season is very stressful for Ye Qiu. Before this game against Manchester United, he also said in a low-key manner that the team did have problems, but he did not answer directly what the question was. According to my guess, he was still in the midfield position."

At this moment, players from both sides appeared one after another, and the live TV screen also played the game rosters of both sides and the starting lineup list, according to the order of home first and then away.

Manchester United's starting lineup, goalkeepers are De Gea, defense are Evra, Evans, Ferdinand and Rafael, midfielders are Tevez, Carrick, Las Diala and Nani, and frontcourts are Benzema and Rooney.

Tottenham Hotspur's starting lineup, goalkeeper is Cech, defense is Alba, Kompany, Thiago Silva and Alves, the three midfielders are Ramsey, Pirlo and Vidal, and the trident in the front court is still the world's top combination of Ribery, Cavani and Messi.

"From Tottenham Hotspur's starting lineup, the three midfielders Ye Qiu relied on this season should be Ramsey, Pirlo and Vidal. We should all know that although Ramsey performed well last season, he definitely has not reached the level that can replace Fabregas and David O'Silva," Andy O'Grey analyzed.

"Yes," Richard Kees said immediately. The two have been together for many years and have already had a tacit understanding with each other. "Ramsey is called the New Fabregas, but we should note that he has different characteristics from Fabregas. Our Sky TV station once specialized in a program by Ramsey. His skills are indeed excellent, and his passing is also very distinctive. There is no problem with long and short passes, but our scouts have the highest praise for him. Protecting the ball and turning around to get rid of it."

Andy O Gray nodded. He is a professional player. "Our scouts have a high evaluation of him, and he is the kind of player who has excellent left and right feet. This type of player is very popular. Ye Qiu likes such players very much. You see, Ribery, and his left and right feet are very good. Eden O Hazard and Neymar are all the kind of players who have excellent left and right feet."

"There is another thing that impressed me very much about Ramsey is that he is very good at running. I remember when he was interviewed by me, he once said that he won the pentathlon championship in the Wales primary school group at the age of nine. His endurance is excellent. After working in football, his physical fitness is very outstanding, which makes him often able to find opportunities through this kind of constant running and constant movement. I think this is a better place than David Silva and Fabregas."

After hearing this, Richard Keith nodded and said, "But you must also see that he has a certain gap with the two Spanish midfielders, whether in terms of creativity, permeability passes, or even personal footwork skills."

"Yes, he still lacks a transformation. He needs to become more confident, especially when dealing with the ball. With his skills, neither in the Premier League nor in any other giant team, he will not be a weakness, and the stopping is also very good."

While the two commentators were talking, both sides on the field had completed guessing the side. Tottenham Hotspur, who played away, took the lead in kicking off. Cavani and Messi appeared at the center serving point, while Ribery stood a little further away.

"From the current overlooking shot, we can see more clearly that Tottenham Hotspur's arrangement of troops wearing white jerseys is interesting, Ramsey and Vidal are obviously more forward, Pirlo plays a single midfielder, and the defense line is still in a shallow disc-shaped position. It seems that Ye Qiu is obsessed with Pirlo playing a single midfielder."

Tottenham Hotspur’s defensive team is a wavy position. Although both fullbacks are in front, they still have to wait until the game starts before they can see the wavy position. The game has not yet begun, and at first glance it looks a bit like a shallow disc position.

Richard Kees smiled, "In the game against Everton, Pirlo's single midfielder was not ideal. In addition, with the Phil Jones in the front, Tottenham Hotspur's midfielder obviously did not play an effective rhythm and operation mechanism. I wonder if this game would be better if it was replaced by Vidal?"

This highlight game was scheduled to kick off on time at 20 o'clock in the evening, which can be said to be a prime time period. It can be seen that the FA attaches great importance to this game. It can be predicted that this game will definitely be the highest ratings in the UK and even Europe tonight.

Who doesn't want to see the strong showdown between Tottenham and Manchester United?

"The referee of the highlight of the law enforcement is Howard Webber, our bald referee in England," Andy Gray said with a smile, "Although there have been some controversies in his law enforcement, his ability is unquestionable."

With the whistle of referee Weber, Cavani quickly kicked the ball to Messi. The latter directly knocked back the long pass and gave it to Thiago Silva who was at the end of the head. The Brazilian central defender passed it to Kompani. The latter had a clear chance and directly passed it to Ribery on the left.

But the long pass of the kick was a bit big. Raphael retreated to the left side of the penalty area. After using his body to block the position, Ribery kept pushing forward. In the end, there was no way, so he turned around and kicked the ball to Ribery and went out of the sideline.

"Marteau United's out-of-bounds ball, Manchester United regained the ball in less than 11 seconds. Kompany's long pass was a bit too hasty. The game has just begun, so we should stabilize our rhythm first."

With the camera switching, it was given to the sidelines, first to Ferguson in the home team's coaching seat, and then to Ye Qiu standing in front of the visiting team's coaching seat. Both of them came up with a large close-up to the two. After seeing Kompany's long pass, Ye Qiu raised his hand to the field.

"The 70-year-old coach Ferguson and the 35-year-old young coach Ye Qiu, he seems a little dissatisfied with Kompani's long pass, and thinks you shouldn't be so anxious, you should stabilize the rhythm first."

Richard Kees smiled after hearing this, "Maybe Kompany is a teammate who doesn't trust his front midfielder."

Manchester United sent out an out-of-bounds ball, but Tottenham Hotspur forced it fiercely in the front. Ferdinand made a long pass directly, trying to find Benzema and Rooney in the front. However, Thiago Silva stepped forward steadily and intercepted Ferdinand's long pass with his chest, and took two steps forward.

Teves forced him up immediately. Thiago Silva made a pass and wanted to find Vidal in front, but Vidal was blocked by Carrick. It was not high enough when he jumped up. The ball fell to Evans behind Carrick, and the latter passed the diagonally to Ras Diarra's feet.

Las Diara took the ball and led it forward, but soon, Ramsey rushed over from the side and formed a close-fitting press on him. Las Diara wanted to pass a pass to Rooney, but Pirlo headed the ball to Alba on the left.

Alba took the ball and quickly led it forward. Before he reached the center line, he had a chance to pass the ball directly from a distance.

"A beautiful straight pass, Ribery competed with Rafael on the wing, Ferdinand quickly returned to defend and took the ball down. Ribery pressed Ferdinand. Tottenham Hotspur forced him very fiercely after the opening, and seemed to have the idea and intention to swallow Manchester United in one breath."

Manchester United is not a fuel-efficient light. Ferdinand knocked back at goalkeeper De Gea, who passed the front to Carrick.

Soon, Manchester United's ball was passed into Tottenham's half again.

"Tottenham Hotspur didn't play conservatively in this game." Andy Grey had a feeling, "This game should be very good, it depends on who can overwhelm the other side."

"Yes" Richard Keith was also a little excited. After the game started, the pace of the game was very fast, but it only took a little more than a minute, but the ball had changed hands several times. Both sides were not conservative at all. "Look, Tottenham Hotspur's defense line did not retract at all, and it was directly placed at the front of its 30-meter area, and then through the rapid retracement of the midfield and the frontcourt, it formed a front-and-back attack of the defense."

"This kind of defense has become a label for Tottenham Hotspur, and we must note that this is a away game. Manchester United played at home has no reason to be conservative, but Tottenham Hotspur played away game, but it is true that he dares to push out like this when he loses three world-class midfielders. It really makes people admire Ye Qiu's courage."

Both sides fought fiercely after the opening game, and the key area of ​​the fight was in the midfield. Manchester United's attack this time still failed to send into the penalty area. Kompany intercepted the ball from the front and poked the ball out. After Las Diyala followed up and passed it straight to the side, but no one went to respond.

However, Tottenham Hotspur's attack once again broke into Manchester United's 30-meter area, and it was still on its left side, looking for Ribery, but Manchester United seemed to be ready and saw that Tottenham Hotspur would use Ribery to play Rafael, so they strengthened their defense on the right and took the ball down again.

After returning to the middle, Ferdinand gave Evans, who was assigned to Evra on the left, but Evra quickly passed to Carrick. But just as Carrick dribbled the ball forward, Messi, who was retreating from the front, suddenly came out from the diagonal stab from the back and stabbed the ball to his teammates, and Pirlo, who was in the middle.

"Pirlo got the ball, a long pass over the top, beautiful"

Andy Grey exclaimed at this moment, and even Richard Keith oh oh.

I saw Carrick just now about to drive the ball forward and prepare to organize Manchester United's attack, so Manchester United's entire defense line was obviously a little relaxed. After all, the ball is in his own hands and Raphael is also in front of him, but who would have thought that Messi suddenly retreated, stole Carrick's ball, and gave Pirlo, while the Italian midfielder directly passed the ball with a long pass.

Ribery was like a flash of lightning at this time. He rushed through Ferdinand's defense zone with almost no disturbance. While watching the incoming ball in the sky, he swept the young player De Gea who was abandoning the goal. He quickly made a judgment. Just as he rushed into the penalty area, he jumped high and headed the ball towards the landing point of the ball.

This shot just pushed the ball back, over the attacking De Gea and landed behind the young Spanish goalkeeper. After Ribery landed, he rushed forward quickly and rushed forward before Evans who was playing, and directly pushed the empty goal with his right foot.

"The ball is in"

Andy O'Grey gave a cheer, "In less than two and a half minutes of the opening, Tottenham Hotspur took the lead in knocking on Manchester United's goal, 0 from France's left winger, Frank O'Ribery's goal."

There was a sigh of disappointment at the entire Old Trafford Stadium, even with a strong boo. They obviously did not expect that the start of this game would be like this. Manchester United was suppressed by Tottenham Hotspur at their home court in such a embarrassing manner.

Conceding the ball in less than two minutes, which is a huge blow to Manchester United, who plays at home.

"A very beautiful goal" Andy Grey was watching the slow-motion replay, "We saw that Messi suddenly returned to defense and broke Carrick's ball. Carrick was careless at this time. He did not notice Messi behind him, and his teammates' reminder was too late. Messi intercepted the ball and gave Pirlo. Pirlo would not waste such an opportunity. He directly passed the ball with one kick, with a very good arc and a very well-controlled landing point. This is the pass that veteran Pirlo is best at."

"Ribery also responded very quickly on the spot. Before De Gea, he headed the ball and then chased after him and pushed the empty goal. This reaction really made De Gea helpless. It can only be said that the personal abilities of Tottenham Hotspur players and their on-the-spot reaction were too fast."

Richard Kees laughed loudly, the ball was very satisfying, "I think Tottenham Hotspur has hit Ribery many times since the opening game, such as Kompany's straight pass just now. If Ferdinand had not returned to defense in time, with Ribery's strength, as long as you hold the ball in the frontcourt, it would be useless for you to defend two or three people."

"Yes" Andy Grey nodded, "If Cavani and Messi come up behind you again, the possibility of scoring will be very high. So Ye Qiu should be consciously trying to play this point in this game."

Looking at the court, he rushed out of the court with excitement. Ribery, Messi, Cavani and others celebrated outside the court. When he saw Pirlo rushing up, Ribery opened his arms and hugged the Italian tightly. This pass was really comfortable. It can be said that Pirlo made an indelible contribution to this goal.

Of course, if you want to make a contribution, Messi's sudden return to prevent the ball from intercepting the ball will also make a great contribution.

"Just less than three minutes after the opening, Tottenham Hotspur took the lead in knocking on Manchester United's goal. This was indeed a big blow to the home team, but Ferguson should stabilize his position as soon as possible. Tottenham Hotspur is playing so fiercely now, and Manchester United should organize their own defense first."

While Andy Grey was talking, referee Weber walked to the sidelines and shouted that Tottenham Hotspur players would return to the field, and the ball had been placed at the center-circle kickoff point. The game started again less than three minutes before, which was indeed a painful blow to the home team.

Ferguson was helpless on the sidelines. He could only say that the oppression and attack after the opening of Tottenham Hotspur caught him and his Manchester United a little off guard, and Tottenham Hotspur's oppressive ability seems to be stronger and better.
