Chapter 189: Klose's Change
Seeing Frisker signal that the goal was valid, Klose was stunned for a moment, then ran to the sideline with his fist and celebrated the goal with a trademark somersault!
It wasn't the prettiest goal of Klose's career, but it was the German's first goal in the Champions League. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 With such a memorable goal on his debut in the Info Champions Cup, it's no wonder that Klose was so excited that he forgot the old Charlie's previous advice!
"George, don't look at me like that. I swear I talked to Klose about it after that day, and he said at the time that he would try to avoid using it during celebrations. Seeing George staring at him suspiciously, old Charlie hurriedly patted his chest and made a stern statement, and at the same time excused Klose, "I think Klose may have been too excited this time, so he accidentally forgot about it, not that he didn't take this promise to heart." ”
After listening to old Charlie's explanation, George put away his skeptical gaze, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. You must know that since ancient times, those who are good at riding fall from horses, those who are good at water are drowning, those who are good at drinking are drunk with wine, and those who are good at fighting have died by killing. Therefore, he was really worried that Klose would suddenly encounter an accident while celebrating, which would bring irreparable regret to his career.
At this time, Klose, who had recovered from the excitement after the goal, finally remembered what he had promised Charlie Sr. before. For a while, the German, who was in a cold sweat behind his back, quickly glanced cautiously at George's position, and found that his coach did not mean to be angry, but made a reassuring gesture to him, and then he was slightly relieved - for Klose, who has always focused on the team and the overall situation, breaking the agreement is a rather disgraceful thing. What's more, Klose also knew very well in his heart that George did make such a suggestion out of his personal safety considerations.
"Goooooooal!1-0! It was Miroslav Klose who scored the goal!" At the same time, Andy Gray was also high-fived Martin Taylor in the live broadcast room, "Very decisive shot! From the slow-motion replay, it can be seen that Klose has made very obvious progress in the past few months at Tottenham! When Kaiserslautern was playing, he would never have been able to do this kind of unobtrusive pull and pass action, let alone control the shot so accurately!"
Although Andy Gray's evaluation is unfair, after all, in the years when Bremer coached Kaiserslautern, Klose's performance was quite comprehensive, but this also largely shows what kind of image Klose was in people's hearts before!
Therefore, tonight's Champions Cup group stage between Tottenham and Bayern Munich is Klose's battle for his name!
In the following time, Klose, who had opened his goal account, became more and more comfortable on the pitch. His nimble off-the-ball movement, all-round technical ability and his ability to pull out of the box from time to time to receive the ball not only made Lucio feel miserable for the accustomed head-to-head confrontation, but also vividly reflected Thomas Link's ageing!
The best scene came in the 41st minute of the game, when Bayern failed to attack, and Tottenham, who had the ball, seized the opportunity to launch a quick counter-attack. Klose, who stepped forward in time, faced Thomas Link's defense after receiving a long pass from Alonso, and actually flexibly made a feint to break through to the right, and then after tricking Link to move his center of gravity, he dunked the ball back with his right foot, and even dribbled the ball past Link's right hand!
"me, when did Klose learn this trick?"
Seeing Klose actually shake off the defensively experienced Link again with his foot skills and feints, he almost helped Tottenham further extend their lead. Not only were the fans watching the game stunned, but Drogba and others on the bench were also shocked - obviously, they didn't expect that Klose would be able to pass Thomas Link directly on such an occasion!
Although he has only been training with the team for just two months, Klose's progress is something that everyone in the Spurs squad can see. Drogba remembers vividly that at the beginning of the team's summer training camp, Klose was a striker who liked to work at height and use headers to solve problems. And now, just over two months later, Klose has grown to the point where he can outperform Thomas Link with his feet!
'There's nothing strange about Didier [Drogba], Klose didn't use it in his training matches. What you didn't expect was that he would apply this trick so quickly, and it was against Bayern. Drogba's expression amused the old Charlie sitting on the sidelines, who looked at the Ivorian who was so surprised that he seemed to be able to put a fist in his mouth, and said funny, "So, if you still want to compete with Klose for the starting position, then in the future, it is better to practice your shooting skills more, at least don't make jokes about not scoring goals." ”
"Robert [Kovac], go and warm up now, get ready to play after half-time!" After seeing Klose actually break through Link's defense directly in a one-on-one situation, almost giving Tottenham a two-goal lead, Magath finally realized that he should no longer look at Klose with the same old eyes as last season!
Who would have imagined that Klose would have made such progress in just a few months?
Compared to Klose, who is gradually leading Tottenham to their first win in the Champions Cup, the Bayern players played much worse in this game. In addition to Ballack and Mackay, as well as Kahn in front of the goal, the performance of the three is remarkable, and Hargreaves and Frings can be called unsatisfactory, the performance of other Bayern players on the field can only be described as a cheating father.
If it weren't for Kahn's excellent performance in this game, the high and low blocks blocked many dangerous shots from Tottenham players, and even Klose's one-on-one ball was rejected by him, I am afraid that Tottenham would have sealed the victory in advance without waiting for the game to enter the halftime stage!
In this way, when Frisker blew the whistle at the end of the first half, Tottenham Hotspur, who were playing at home, unexpectedly temporarily led Bayern Munich 1-0 with Klose's goal!
