Chapter 238: Unexpected Joy
"Goooooooal!goal scored, it was Frank Lampard!" Andy Gray yelled in disbelief. www.biquge.infoClearly, the Sky TV ace commentator was surprised by Chelsea's last-minute equaliser – when was the last time Tottenham failed to win by two goals?
While Andy Gray was raving his stomach and praising the indomitable Chelsea with every word he could think of, the Chelsea players were celebrating with excitement on the pitch – and like Andy Gray, they didn't expect to do it!
Seeing Frank Lampard score the equaliser at the last minute, Mourinho couldn't hide his excitement, hugging the coaching staff one by one on the sidelines!
'Frank Lampard's long-range shot was indeed beautiful, but it was Zlatan Ibrahimovic who was the biggest contributor to Chelsea's equaliser. Martin Taylor, meanwhile, began to analyse Chelsea's goal in the live broadcast room, 'The Swede pulled a point back for Chelsea with a brilliant turn in the 75th minute, then calmly faced Nemanja Vidic and Mascherano in stoppage time before cleverly setting up Frank Lampard, who had come in the back row...... Therefore, Chelsea were able to retire from the White Hart Lane stadium today, and the main credit is Ibrahimovic!"
"But then again, Tottenham had a chance to kill the suspense of the game. Unfortunately, Drogba was unable to capitalise on that golden opportunity, giving Chelsea a breather. Andy Gray said in a tone of great regret. As a Tottenham fan, he naturally regrets the result.
Andy Gray's words are not unfounded. Indeed, if it hadn't been for Drogba's missed one-on-one goal, Tottenham could have extended the score to three to one. That way, even if Frank Lampard scores another goal in stoppage time, it won't have any impact on the bigger picture of the game!
It was because of this realisation that Drogba was in a rather depressed mood as the Chelsea players celebrated their goal: "Captain, it's all my fault. If only I had been able to score that one-on-one goal before......"
"Don't say it, Didier [Drogba]. None of us here will be so stingy as to blame you for this draw. To put it this way, we who didn't keep Ibrahimovic out of the game were also one of the culprits in the draw that Chelsea held to a halt. Ledley King waved his hand to stop Drogba's subsequent apology, "No one can never miss a goal, even great ones like Roberto Baggio and Platini don't miss key penalties? ”
"Okay, Captain, I'll definitely remember the lesson of this time!" Hearing Ridley King's words, Drogba's originally low mood finally improved. The Ivorian Warcraft secretly decided that in the future, after every team training, he would practice shooting again, and he would never let this kind of thing happen to him again!
Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great. Drogba's success in his previous life was certainly due to his physical fitness, but the Ivorian people's tenacity and good habit of correcting mistakes are the most important reasons for his success!
The most typical example of the opposite is Inter Milan's Adriano. The Brazilian centre-forward, who was dubbed the new king of Meazza by Inter fans after Vieri grew old, also had excellent physical qualities, but the Inter king was willing to fall after becoming famous, immersed in the glitz and wine of the fashion capital, and his competitive form dropped again and again, and finally had to say goodbye to European football early, away from the mainstream football circle.
Although the Chelsea players' celebrations were forcibly halted by Webber's intervention, the three-minute stoppage time was effectively long behind the scenes. So after the game restarted, the Tottenham players didn't even organize a wave of attack, and Webber blew the whistle to announce the end of the game!
In this way, after 90 minutes of fierce competition, Tottenham Hotspur, who once led by two goals in the game, lost a good game, was equalized by Frank Lampard at the last moment, and finally shook hands with Chelsea, missing a golden opportunity to extend the lead in the table!
'Congratulations to Chelsea for being able to equalise at the last minute. "It's a pleasure," George said at the post-match press conference to the long guns and short cannons set up by the reporters on the spot, "Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a very good young player, and in time he will become another top centre-forward. Chelsea were able to walk away from White Hart Lane today with a draw and should be thankful for Ibrahimovic's excellent performance in this game. ”
Hearing that George had such a high opinion of Ibrahimovic, the reporters were all excited to write the sidelines. After all, there aren't many young players who can be so praised by George. Even Dean Ashton, who is on loan and is regarded by the English media as the next Alan Shearer, has not received this level of praise.
In addition, some sharp-minded reporters have heard another meaning in George's words. That is, if it were not for Ibrahimovic's savior, Chelsea's game would have been dismantled by Tottenham Hotspur, how could it still get a chance to get out?
'Coach Nelson's words do have a point, and it's Chelsea's fortune to have such a good centre-forward as Zlatan [Ibrahimovic]. Mourinho also heard George's words, and naturally had to refute it at this time, "However, I also envy Coach Nelson. Robben's pass and shot in the first half put us down 0-2 early. If it weren't for the Dutchman's physical exhaustion and being replaced by Franck Franck Franck, we wouldn't have been able to equalise. ”
Seeing Mourinho talking about Robben, even if George was no longer convinced, he could only choose to terminate the topic. While the specifics of Arjen Robben and Ibrahimovic are not the same, in terms of results, there really is no difference between the two who also scored a goal and provided an assist once in this game.
However, a message from another stadium then swept away the gloom on Tottenham, who were regretting the draw. That is, although the battle between Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea ended in a draw, third-placed Arsenal failed to close the gap - the Gunners at the Reebok Stadium suffered in front of Sam Allardyce's Bolton Wanderers and were beaten 0-1 by Jennerkopoulos before half-time.
Arsenal's surprise defeat at home meant that Tottenham could not achieve their goal of being four points ahead of Chelsea after this draw, but they extended their advantage over third place!
