Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 214 Wonderful Battle (2)

After the game resumed, under the command of sideline coach Jacques Santini, the lagging Tottenham Hotspur team once again launched a massive attack. Facing Chelsea's substitute lineup, Santini believes that Tottenham Hotspur With excellent offensive ability, he will definitely be able to break through the goal and score goals.

As for the goal just now, the experienced Mr. Santini knows that it was just an accident. The sudden explosion of the personal ability of such a powerful star is difficult for Tottenham's defense to stop.At this time, the Tottenham team also arranged for a defender to defend Wang Li closely. In this way, the black-haired boy's offense can be limited, the threat of the opponent's counterattack can be reduced, and the efficiency of the offense can be increased.
That black-haired boy's ability to steal the ball should not be underestimated. Tottenham have suffered enough losses!
In terms of the game format, Tottenham have gradually mastered the rhythm, their offense is very fast, and their cooperation is very smooth.The Chelsea team went first, which seemed to make the lagging Tottenham players even more energetic, especially the dribbling breakthroughs and through balls from the two wings created excellent scoring opportunities for the Tottenham team time and time again. .

It is worth mentioning that the 31-year-old veteran Jamie Redknapp is extremely active on the wing. His body is very strong. When he dribbles the ball on the wing, he is like a tank. Even after Makelele kicked him hard, it only made Jamie's feet unsteady, and finally let him step over.

Seeing the scene like this, Mr. Mourinho, who was sitting on the sidelines, frowned. After analyzing the Tottenham team before the game, he knew that Chelsea's substitute lineup would definitely not be able to prevent the opponent's attack. prevent their goals.But what disappointed the Portuguese the most was the performance of the players on the field, especially forward Adrian Mutu. He didn't seem to be playing a game at all, but was doing simple morning exercises——
'Did all his strength stay on the woman's belly? ' he said secretly annoyed.

Now, what Mourinho wants to see most is that Mutu can show his strength instead of sleepwalking all the time. Although most players will have ups and downs, Mutu's current performance can no longer be judged by "ups and downs". described.

However, after Mourinho thought about it, he still did not replace Mutu. Now the game has just lasted about a quarter of an hour, and Chelsea is still ahead by one goal. In this case, it is unwise to replace Mutu, and it is very possible It caused great resistance to the replaced players, which must not be worth the candle.Chelsea in the new season has only just taken a step forward. In the tactics of this 'madman', Mutu is still very important. At least he can be the main striker after the team's rotation.

.........

.........

While Mourinho was still secretly evaluating the performance of the players on the field, Tottenham had already attacked near the penalty area, while Chelsea, except for Wang Li and Gremi wandering around the midfield, waiting for a counterattack at any time , Almost retreated across the board, which made the Blues fans in the stands feel a bit disappointed. They don't want to see the team being suppressed at Stamford Bridge.

At this time, the midfielder Jackson on the right was dribbling the ball, and he played tricks. He turned his back to Paul Ferreira and bounced the ball twice in a row with his right foot, then suddenly picked the ball and turned around and ran forward. After opening Ferreira, a through ball with the precision of a scalpel was passed, and the ball was delivered to the forward Canoute on the penalty area line. He bypassed his head and hung towards the restricted area.

In the restricted area, Defoe, a 22-year-old teenager, suddenly threw off Brigid, who was defending close to him, and pressed his heel against the lower edge of the falling ball. When the ball flew in front of him, there was a volley on his right heel!
Everyone exclaimed! !
Thomas, who set foot on the Premier League for the first time, was a little nervous, but this time he still did not abandon his reaction speed. Thomas threw himself to the left, and the football was hit by his arms out of the goal, which made the stands The Blues fans on the bench were greatly relieved, and Mourinho on the bench nodded in satisfaction. However, the crisis was not resolved. The next moment——
Kanoute appeared in front of the ball. He swung his right foot and slapped the bottom of the football. Facing the supplementary shot, Thomas, who was already lying on the ground, could do nothing but watch the football fly into the net against the right post. .

In the 19th minute of the game, striker Kanoute made a supplementary shot to level the score for Tottenham.

.........

Tottenham didn't spend too much time celebrating the goal, and after a while, the referee blew his whistle and the game restarted.

At this time, 20 minutes had passed in the first half, and the players of the Chelsea team gradually regained their form. Even Adrian Mutu, who had been in a state of 'sleepwalking' in this game, also finished in the chaotic army. A shot, in this case, the balance of the situation on the court slowed down again, and in the situation, the two teams seemed to be evenly matched.

However, it can be clearly seen that in Chelsea's offense, the cooperation between the offensive players is still not very good, but the strength of Chelsea's players is very strong. On the left and right sides, Wang Li and Robben's dribbling is very threatening , Although Mutu's performance on the middle road is not satisfactory, Gremi and Thiago often put in assists in the midfield, which still allows Chelsea's offense to connect left and right.

In the team's offense, Wang Li basically took over all the firepower on the right, dribbling the ball, making long passes and lobbing, and shooting from long distances, making the Blues fans secretly say 'he is almost omnipotent'.

In fact, Wang Li also hit a few precise through balls during this period of time, which scared the Tottenham players into a cold sweat every time, but Mutu in the middle was really weak, and missed the goal several times in a row timing.This completely contrasting performance in peacetime makes Wang Li secretly annoyed. There is no difference between having such a teammate and not having one! ?

On the other hand, Tottenham's players are not famous big-name stars. Of course, these players cannot be compared with Chelsea's level in terms of personal ability. Totally incomparable.Especially the strikers Kanoute and Defoe, the cooperation between the two is very tacit, coupled with their good personal ability, it is no wonder that in the evaluation of the English media, Tottenham's striker can be ranked third in the Premier League !

If it weren't for Tottenham's lack of midfield strength, perhaps the team's offensive ability would be stronger than Arsenal's!

.........

During this period of time, the two teams almost focused on offense. Tottenham advocated offense, while Chelsea played at home. The two teams joined hands to perform an exciting game for all the fans and friends in the audience. Fight against each other!

The two sides come and go, the fight is very enjoyable, and the fans in the audience are hooked. On the football field, the most eye-catching game is of course the offensive battle, but it would be better if it becomes a goal battle it's -
Of course, Blues fans hope that Chelsea will score first, and Tottenham fans do the opposite.

In the 29th minute of the first half, Tottenham's offense first achieved results. Several offensive players of the Tottenham team made 13 consecutive passes in the frontcourt, which made Chelsea's stars feel a little overwhelmed At this time, the 34-year-old Moroccan veteran Naibet assisted in from the backcourt. After receiving a pass from his teammate on the left side of the penalty area, Naibet hoisted the ball in. Small restricted area.

At this time, there was chaos in Chelsea's penalty area, and a group of people gathered together, all watching the football falling from the sky.At this time, Jamie Redknapp's strength was shown. The 31-year-old veteran is still young and strong. Of course, he is most proud of his strong figure. You know, on the football field, the player's Strength and size are very important, and Jamie is one of the best.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Mr. Redknapp jumped up suddenly, facing the incoming ball with his head, and swung his head vigorously towards the goal, and the football was pushed to the far corner of the goal.

At this time, Thomas stood at the end of the crowd, with his hands raised high, his posture was mighty, but his face looked bewildered. However, the referee had already signaled that the goal was valid, and no matter how much he played, he was powerless. .

Thomas could only turn his head and look at the football in the goal, then lowered his head and was secretly annoyed at his own performance.

In the 30th minute of the game, Tottenham took the lead.

The small group of Tottenham fans in the southeast stand were obviously elated. They didn't expect that after 40 minutes at Stamford Bridge, their team actually took the lead!

You know, after watching Chelsea's record in the previous rounds before the game, many loyal fans who came to watch the game with the team have even reported the mentality of losing 4:0 or 5:0.
I have to say that in the first few rounds, Chelsea's results were indeed very deterrent...

.........

"Thomas, it's okay, this is just an ordinary Premier League game, come on!" Taking advantage of the opportunity of Tottenham's goal celebration, Wang Li ran to the goal, patted his friend on the shoulder, and comforted him.

With Thomas' current defensive ability, the opponent's header just now was sure to be picked. Wang Li saw Thomas' face in doubt, and he realized that the tall man was too nervous.

However, Wang Li still understands his friend's mood. You know, this is Thomas' Premier League debut, and he is still starting the game. Under such circumstances, some nervousness is inevitable. Only 19 years old.

"Thank you, don't worry, I won't let them score easily again." Thomas forced a smile, then said firmly.

"The goal depends on you." Wang Li smiled and clapped hands with Thomas tacitly, and ran towards the frontcourt.

Wang Li knows that although his good friend always likes to play tricks, he is still very capable in the goalkeeper position. If he becomes serious after soothing his emotions, it is conceivable that in the next game time, If Tottenham want to score goals, it will become much more difficult.

As for Wang Li himself, as a striker, all he has to do is score goals, yes, only goals, and now that the team is one point behind, he doesn't want to suffer a defeat at Stamford Bridge. All you want is victory!
