Attacking transition:
José instructed his team to aggressively press MU when:
-immediately after losing the ball.
-while MU build up from the back.
-in 50/50 situations.
to win quickly and counter press them, relying on his players sharpness, unity, aggressivity and knowledge.

Attacking transition:
In some occasions where Spurs won the ball in deeper areas/positions, they were really quick and sharp in transition after that,
where you’ll find an attacking player running towards the opposition half waiting for an accurate long pass from his teammates

Defensive phase:
Spurs players were clearly aware of what they’ve to do when MU beat the high press and project with the ball to spurs half.
When that happened , the team defended with an organized mid-block system to keep it tight and prevent MU from playing through them.

Possession phase:
José organized his team into a 3-4-3 formation in which Sanchez, PEH and Dier formed the first line to build play. PEH withdrew into the central of defense so Sanchez and Dier could move wider and allow the full-backs to advance and drag MU fullbacks forward.

Possession phase:
- Kane withdrew into midfield to combine with Tanguy and Moussa and drag a CB with him.
- Sonny exploit the space left behind.
- Lamela/Lucas cut inside which drew Shaw infield and it gives Serge acres of space to attack.
Tactically, Spurs were well prepared

Defensive transitions:
When losing the ball, 9 outfield will create IMMEDIATELY a compacted block (in 4/5/1 shape) to keep it tight so the creative players in the opposition team won’t have the time or space to receive the ball in dangerous areas or create clear-cut chances.

Talking points:
• Spurs were on top since MU scored and missed 3 big chances before martial was sent off.
• Spurs players tactical awareness improved massively since Mourinho arrived.
• Kane, Aurier, Hojbjerg and Tanguy were tremendous for 90 minutes.
• Lamela was vital.
