"Coach Ranieri, hopefully we can join forces today to give the fans a good game. During the pre-match handshake, George said to Ranieri with a smile on his face, "To be honest, I'm really happy to get the chance to play against Ranieri again.www.biquge.info I've always believed that you're the best of all the 20 Premier League managers, and even Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Robson are not as good as you. ”

"Where, Coach Nelson, you're exalting me too much, I'm not as good as you say. Hearing George's words, Ranieri had a very happy expression on his face, but in fact, the tinkerer did not really take George's words to heart. In the pragmatic Ranieri's view, the praise from his opponents may sound cool, but the team wins first. If a pre-match hype of their opponents would have led to an easy victory, Ranieri would not mind taking all of Chelsea's opponents to the skies.

George and Ranieri didn't have to last long, as the players were already in their respective halves, waiting for referee Webb to announce the start of the game. Therefore, as the head coach of the team, George and Ranieri also need to obey the relevant regulations and operate in the specified technical area.

Watching George and Ranieri walk into their respective technical areas, Webber, who was going to go over to remind the two, retracted his steps, then looked down at his watch, and blew the whistle in his mouth, announcing that the highlight of the fifth round of the Premier League has officially begun!

Chelsea, who won the kick-off, were the first to launch the attack to the cheers of the crowd. Thirteen seasons of unbeaten home defeat against Tottenham, combined with a huge confidence in their own quality, combined with Spurs' streak of draws, gave the Blues players confidence from the start that beating their local rivals could not have been easier.

And just like that, the ball was driven out of the middle circle by Crespo, and after a transition between Joe Cole and Frank Lampard, it came to Glen Johnson, who was cut along the right-hand touchline and now advanced to the feet of Glen Johnson, who was within 30 metres of the Tottenham goal!

Seeing Heinze in front of him, Glenn Johnson smiled confidently, first dunked the ball to the left, made a feint to cut inside with the ball, and then turned the ball back to his right side, accelerated suddenly, and with his superhuman speed and explosiveness, he forced the ball to rush past Heinze's side!

What a scumbag...... Looking at Heinze, who was powerless to break through and could only eat dirt behind him, Glenn Johnson couldn't help but glance contemptuously at the Argentine who had been left behind him, and then turned his head and began to look for the position of his teammate in front of him.

Next, just look for an opportunity to pass the ball down the middle and let Crespo and Mutu solve the problem...... Wait, what about my balls?

It was only then that Glenn Johnson noticed the anomaly - it turned out that just when Glenn Johnson thought he had successfully broken through Heinze's defense, the latter had unwittingly let the ball out of Johnson's grasp and captured it at his feet!

"Gabriel, well done!" Seeing Heinze's clean kick without the slightest muddy steal, George waved his fist excitedly in the coach's seat, shouting even the players on both sides of the field could hear it clearly, "Now give me a counterattack!"

'Bridge and Glen Johnson are both strong full-backs who often get involved in the opposition half of the pitch in the game, which means that when Chelsea are blocked, the large amount of space behind them can be exploited. So, I ask you, whoever you are, to take advantage of that as much as possible when you fight back. After stealing the ball at Glenn Johnson's feet, Heinze's mind immediately remembered what George had said to them in the locker room before the game. So, the Argentine left-back decisively passed the ball to Carrick, who ran to pick up, so that the latter with a long pass was more accurate to launch a counterattack!

Carrick, who received Heinze's pass, obviously took George's instructions to heart, and picked up his right foot to send a long pass over the top towards Bierovka, who was cruising on the left side of the frontcourt!

Although Carrick's role and tactical positioning at Tottenham Hotspur are very similar to those of AC Milan's Andrea Pirlo, both of which are similar to the team's metronome, there is obviously still a certain gap between Carrick and Pirlo in terms of footwork and overall view. So, the long ball he handed to Bierovka was a little bit stronger, and if the German didn't take extra steps, the ball would fly straight off the left touchline!

Fortunately, Bierovka was in good shape today, and he used a not very skillful outside instep to stop the ball to unload Carrick's slightly stronger pass from mid-air, and then turned around with a pull ball to avoid Geremi's pressing, adjusted his posture, and rushed towards the direction of the bottom line!

While they had been prepared for Tottenham to take advantage of the gaps left by Johnson and Bridge's assists, the Chelsea players clearly did not expect Tottenham's counter-attack to be so impressive, with the ball coming from the Tottenham half to the vicinity of the Chelsea box in less than ten seconds. So, when Bierovka broke through the Geremi defence with the ball, the Chelsea players were still in place.

Seeing Bierovka's movements, Makelele hesitated, but only adjusted his position, and did not go over to make up for Grami, who had failed in defense. Because the French noticed Carrick and Kompany, who were cutting in at high speed from the middle circle of the field, if Makelele dared to defend Bierovka at this time, then the next moment, the German would pass the ball to the top of the arc of the penalty area without the protection of the French, creating opportunities for Carrick and Kompany to shoot from distance!

Seeing that Makelele didn't come over to make up for the defense, but used a seemingly simple position to seal his pass route to Carrick and some space to dribble inside, Bierovka's heart couldn't help but raise the vigilance coefficient of the French midfielder by a level. He realised that the unassuming French midfielder, despite his low profile, was definitely an extremely difficult opponent!

However, Bierovka has raised his alarm against Makelle. However, with Carrick and Kompany in check, there is only so much Makelle can do now, and he cannot take further action against Bierovka. As a result, Bierovka's actions have not been affected much, except for some restrictions on breakthrough space and offensive options.

So, after observing the running position of his teammates, Bierovka made a sharp stop and changed direction, cut directly into the Chelsea penalty area with the ball, and after attracting the defense of Geremi and Desailly, passed the ball to Drogba, who had just been let go by Desailly and was temporarily unmarked!

"Don't think about it!" Terry was very accurate, as soon as Bierovka passed the ball, he decisively let go of Robbie Keane's defense, and appeared behind Drogba, who was receiving the ball with his back, in time to interfere with the Ivorian's next move!

Although it is also very dangerous to let Robbie Keane go, Terry can't do so much at this time. After all, if Drogba receives the pass and turns smoothly, then the opponent can go directly to Cudicini to go head-to-head, and then it will be useless for Terry to defend Keane Jr. well. And if John Terry can hold Drogba back for a while so that he can't turn around or pass the ball to his team-mates in time, then Chelsea may have a chance to stop Tottenham's attack.

For this task, Terry thinks it is still possible. In his opinion, Drogba, who is a little stumbling even in the penalty area, is clearly not a qualified striker. With his ability, it's not a matter of holding a handle to deal with such a rough brother with developed limbs and extremely clumsy skills?

It stands to reason that although Drogba's strength is strong and his flexibility exceeds that of most power centers, it is not a big problem to suppress Drogba who is not yet fully mature in one-on-one defense with Terry's physical condition and defensive skills. However, the problem is that Terry, who doesn't know enough about Drogba's skills, was a little underestimated after seeing Drogba's clumsy foot work, and did not use his full strength in this defense, so when facing the immature version of the Ivorian Warcraft that went all out, he naturally suffered a big loss!

So, after a physical confrontation with Drogba, Terry, who was not prepared, was surprised to find that he was actually pushed back several steps by Drogba!

In this way, Drogba used his body to push away the ill-prepared Terry, and with the little space created, he completed the turn, and then rushed in the direction of Cudicini, single-handedly!

What happened next, though, made the frightened Chelsea fans put their hanging hearts back to rest - Didier Drogba accidentally slid the ball too wide when adjusting his shooting stance, and the quick-eyed Cudicini went straight to the ground to make a save, pressing the ball under him!

Tottenham fans regretted that Drogba had been squandered in this hard-won scoring opportunity, and at the same time complained a little in their hearts about George, who had placed Drogba in the starting line-up - if Toney, who was in good form and had better shooting skills, would have been able to celebrate the goal now.

However, just as Tottenham fans were lamenting the team's passing and the goal, the nearly 40,000 Chelsea fans in the stands at Stamford Bridge erupted in cheers louder than when Cudicini made a successful save in front of the goal - it turned out that Cudicini's ball fell right at the feet of Joe Cole, who immediately sent a through ball and passed it to Mutu who had successfully countered offside to form a single knife, and finally the Romanian shook the ball past the attacking Cech and pushed the empty goal!
