Chapter 91: No Temptation
When the players from both sides took the hands of the little caddies and walked into the pitch together, the Notts County players were extremely depressed, because even the young players they were holding were focused on the Tottenham stars next door, and this unequal treatment was really frustrating for them, who already boasted of being big stars.
The referee blew the whistle, and the 01-02 League Cup final officially kicked off.
Fans on both sides erupted in cheers that seemed to destroy the planet, and David even worried about whether the sounds would resonate and collapse the solid stadium.
Tottenham, who won the right to kick off, did not have any intention of tentating after the kick-off, and directly opened the formation to attack, and they had their own pride.
And Notts County was not frightened at this time, maybe he was a little nervous before, but after the game started, there were really no superfluous thoughts in his mind, and all his attention was focused on the game itself.
"Veteran striker Sheringham flicked the ball to Les Ferdinand, and Tottenham showed a strong desire to attack at the beginning, and they were not conservative because it was a final! Defender Ledley King found Sheringham with a long ball and the former Manchester United star used his excellent experience to take advantage of the Notts County backline and stabbed God first! Notts County goalkeeper Diego Lopes made a god-level save! He saved Notts County! The commentator on the commentary bench was just about to introduce the starting line-ups of both sides, but was interrupted by Tottenham's sudden killing, and the game entered a tense climax from the beginning.
'Tottenham got into form very quickly, with a strong overall quality and two great strikers, who put Notts County under a lot of pressure in the opening stages, is this the difference between the Premier League and League Two? Oh my god, Notts County is coming back! Spanish commander Alonso cut off Tottenham's pass, and Iniesta on the side rushed forward with the ball, and it was like no one on the left, and Tottenham's wide players couldn't be restrained at all, and such excellent skills were never seen in England. ”
"Andres Iniesta has passed the ball! Hubnell shoots! GooooooL! It's actually a side net! From this point of view, it really looks like a goal, the Italian striker misses the goal! ”
The commentators didn't even have time to take a sip of water after the opening, and began to explain nervously and passionately, which made them a little uncomfortable for a while.
If it is a normal cup match, especially the final, the two sides who attach great importance to it will not start with a real confrontation, they need to adapt to the game, and get familiar with the opponent, after a few minutes or even ten minutes of testing, and then show their sharp fangs, sometimes the whole first half of the scene is not uncommon.
But this game completely overturned this situation, from Tottenham to Notts County, from the first second straight into the rhythm of the game, without hypocritical temptation, as if they were going to give the opponent a dismount.
Not only are the commentators a little confused, but even many professional football personnel are also very puzzled.
To say that Tottenham and Notts County have never played each other before, the two teams don't know each other, why did they fight so fiercely from the beginning, is there any secret that no one knows?
This doesn't make sense!
And looking at the current situation on the court, you kick yours at all, I kick mine, both sides are walking according to their own familiar rhythm, regardless of how the other party is, it feels like it is not at the same rhythm point at all.
Perhaps it would be better to describe it as a different scenario, Tottenham are playing against one team and Notts County are playing against another team, but the two games are on the same field, and the scene is so weird.
Loew and Hoddle both looked at each other in surprise, with a hint of sympathy in their eyes.
And David next to him is a little confused, as an unreliable assistant coach, although he has the vision of a hardcore fan, but in terms of technical and tactical ability, the gap with Loew is incomprehensible, so he is completely blinded by the situation on the field!
"Yua, is there really no problem with playing so unrestrainedly?" David watched Notts County attack when even the central defenders were about to press through the half, and when defending, even the forwards had to return to the half, he was shocked by this almost all-attacking and defensive style of play, and asked a little worriedly.
However, Loew did not speak, because his full attention was focused on the game, and he was not completely sure about the game, so he could not be sloppy in the slightest.
David, who did not get an answer, sat back on the bench and could only do it alone, but when he saw that Tottenham's tactics were similar, he was relieved, at least the other party was not conservative, so that Notts County would not suffer at a tactical level.
If you want to talk about Tottenham's forward line, maybe the combination of Sheringham and Les Ferdinand is not the most famous, but it is a real powerhouse, Sheringham was the main player of the England national team and Manchester United before.
Of course, Les Ferdinand was not bad, but more people would later know him because of his nephew, Leo Ferdinand......
This pair of strikers is also Tottenham's main capital in the Premier League, and in the other two lines, Tottenham can't take too dazzling stars.
David looked at Tottenham's mediocre lineup, and then thought of Tottenham's heroic lineup in the future, and snickered in his heart, the current Tottenham is really a civilian team!
In the future, it is estimated that Ribery's value alone will not be a problem to buy all the players on the field at Tottenham, but the key is that the present is not the future!
The two sides played evenly on the field, and the game went on until 20 minutes, and the two sides still spared no effort to attack, and the game was evenly divided.
Tottenham players did not despise Notts County before the game, but the game went on to this extent, they still felt that they underestimated the strength of this League Two team, you know, if Tottenham chose such an aggressive style of play, the opening bombardment of the onslaught, I am afraid that Manchester United, a Premier League giant, will have to retreat, temporarily avoid the edge, but today Notts County made them feel the unparalleled shock.
Isn't it just an attack?
Who's afraid of whom!
It is with such a wild mentality that Notts County are playing against Tottenham, and most importantly, they are not yet at the bottom of the game!
Isn't such a team worthy of their respect?
Tottenham fans in the stands saw their team in such good shape, and the infinite accumulated excitement in their hearts could only be released by shouting through the sky, while the Notts County fans saw that the team was still stubborn in the head-to-head confrontation with the Premier League team, and they cheered even more, and the sound in the stands was higher and higher.
