Chapter 115: Costa's Performance
Tottenham are celebrating with excitement.
On the other hand, Chelsea manager Guus Hius shook his head helplessly.
This ball can't be helped!
At the beginning of the game, the two sides were still exchanging punches, but Tottenham said that if they didn't kick, they wouldn't kick, and they made Chelsea uncomfortable with a change of pace.
And Tottenham dare to play like this, this is the capital given to them by a strong midfield!
At the end of the day, Chelsea lost to Tottenham in midfield, unable to gain an advantage in midfield, so it was often Chelsea who suffered when it came to the tempo.
Don't look at Chelsea's previous offensive tide, but their attack was very reluctant, and there was no such thing as Tottenham's one-shot effect.
......
Hiddink looked inside the pitch, his eyes not on the scorer Son Heung-min, but on Yi Le, who was standing next to him.
Perhaps in the eyes of the layman, Son Heung-min is the scorer and deserves to be praised and cheered.
But in the eyes of a manager of his level, the key to this goal is the Chinese.
Guus Hiddink has to admit that Yile is dominant in midfield, his big picture and vision are too good, and he is particularly good at changing the tempo, and at the same time has a good ability to break through.
This kind of talented midfielder... Gee... Boas is lucky to be able to recruit Yi.
Hiddink thought sourly.
He didn't lash out at his teammates, but instead cheered them up.
It's not Chelsea's problem, Tottenham's midfield makes it difficult for Chelsea to limit them, and that's what was discussed before the game.
In order to block the front line and thus limit Tottenham's midfield, they have focused on Harry. Kane too.
But who would have thought that Sun Xingmin stood up at this time.
Hiddink saw some problems with the goal and he walked to the sidelines and shouted a loud wake-up call that they couldn't put all the defence on Harry. Kane, Son Heung-min also needs to be restricted.
Hiddink was no longer able to sit in the dugout, he was standing on the sidelines ready to take control of the game.
What he regrets most now is that he didn't intervene to slow down the tempo of Tottenham Hotspur when they were playing against Chelsea ten minutes ago.
The foreshadowing of this goal was laid back then.
Chelsea are playing steadily, and with their tactical set-up, it will be difficult for Tottenham to get on the scoresheet.
But a sudden change of pace caught Chelsea off guard, and that's what led to that goal.
Guus Hiddink knew he needed to be tougher and he had to tell the players on the pitch how to play this game.
Since Chelsea's midfielders can't take on that responsibility, it's up to him to do it.
......
Tottenham are a youth force with an average age of 23, and this type of youth army represents a lot of energy, but sometimes it has the recklessness and mistakes that are unique to young people.
For example, the next game.
When Tottenham scored first, their choice was not to defend, but to continue attacking.
Truth be told, Tottenham are giving it a chance.
If they play defensively and defend this point, Hiddink will really go crazy.
Fortunately, Tottenham chose to attack.
Hiddink glanced at the man in the suit squatting on the sidelines, and couldn't help but sigh:
What a man!
Chelsea's desire to attack is now more intense than Tottenham's, so Hiddink has made adjustments accordingly.
He called Hazard over and rubbed his shoulders to instruct him to contingency tactics.
Then, he patted Hazard on the shoulder, spat to the side, and secretly said fiercely: "The game has just begun!" ”
......
Diego. Costa is in great form and despite being behind, he is incredibly involved in the attacking end.
When the game restarted, the tactical style of the whole Chelsea changed.
Instead of relying on Eden Hazard, they began to play the traditional 'long pass and rush' in England.
They stuffed the ball into Tottenham's big penalty area and let Diego. Costa relied on his individual ability to create a goal.
At the same time, they will also allow Hazard to break through, but his task has changed from attacking core to tool man for breakthrough.
With a strong performance in the Tottenham midfield, Hazard was unable to replicate his form, so Chelsea changed tactics decisively.
They started kicking Diego. Costa this point.
Played 41 minutes, Diego. Costa was carrying Ben in the big penalty area. Davis and Ver Hengtong unload the ball under pressure.
Alderved couldn't come back in time to make up for it, and Tottenham's defence can't rely on Alderved every time.
Without Aldved's body, Diego. Costa became comfortable in the penalty area, and he even carried two Tottenham players to stop the ball safely.
Diego. After Costa stopped the ball, he pushed his ass against Ver Hengtong, no matter how desperately the opponent interfered, Diego. Costa stands as immovable as a reef in the sea.
Looking at Ben who was squeezed away by himself. Davis, Diego. Costa finally had a starting angle.
He didn't think about it, he turned and volleyed!!
"Costa shoot!!"
"Pretty!!"
"Lori!! Our captain saved the goal and he kept the Tottenham goal!! ”
Accompanied by Lawrence's praise and the exclamations of the fans in the stands.
Diego. Costa lay on the ground in frustration.
Shit!
None of the goals were scored!!
......
didn't score, which made Verhengtong breathe a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but rub his shoulder with a faint pain, this Brazilian is a cow? So strong!
In a collision just now, Diego. Costa nearly knocked him away.
At the same time, Verhenton's expression became more and more unhappy, and he glared at the Brazilian with hatred.
Diego. Costa noticed this, too, and his eyes rolled, and an idea vaguely formed in his mind.
In the corner, Eden Hazard prepares to take a corner.
At this time, in Tottenham's big penalty area, the players were huddled together.
Diego. Costa was on the outside of the penalty area, and Ver Hengtong was with him.
Diego. Costa glanced at Verhenton in front of him, his eyes fixed on the flat back of his head, only to see that he looked in the direction of the referee and saw that the opponent was not looking here.
Diego. Costa decisively raised his slap and slapped it the back of the head.
Syllable!!!!
The crisp movement made many people around turn their heads in amazement.
Diego. Costa looked confused.
On the other hand, Wei Hengtong was stunned, and then his face turned red and angry!
He turned to glare at Scarlet Eyes and nudged Diego angrily. Costa.
The latter took advantage of the situation to hide his face and fall to the ground...
Vertonghen bent over and scolded angrily!
Pushing people is still so rampant?
Chelsea players are gone!
They all gathered around, looking like they were going to beat Ville Hengtong.
The Tottenham players were also taken aback, and they also surrounded Verhengton.
The players on both sides argued, and Verhengtong was still pushed several times under the protection of the Tottenham players.
As for Diego. Costa was lying on the ground, covering his face, looking through his fingers at the mess, and wailing from time to time.
Beep beep !!
The referee came running with a shrill whistle.
He was the first to show a yellow card to Virhengton.
The Tottenham players were about to make a statement when the referee ran towards Diego. Costa also showed a yellow card and shouted, "Get up! Are you blind to me? ”
Diego. Costa froze, he pointed to his face and said, "I'm hurt." ”
The referee said coldly: "He didn't attack you in the face, give you ten seconds, if you don't get up, you will be sent off!" ”
Diego. Costa shook his head and quickly got up, feeling a little depressed.
The two sides each played 20 boards, and this farce was over.
.......
Fans watching the live broadcast restored the facts from the replay.
"Diego. Costa and Vir Hengtong are grabbing positions, both of them have small movements in their hands, and Vir Hengtong keeps pulling Costa... Ouch! Zhan Jun looked confused and said, "Diego. Costa slapped Virhengton on the back of the head, and the angry Virhengton turned around and pushed the other party, Diego. Costa covered his face and fell to the ground. ”
"This ......" Zhan Jun sneered: "The acting skills are superb!" ”
The fans who saw the replay were also in an uproar.
"The wicked sue first?"
"Costa is here again, ancestral acting?"
"Poor Virhengtong!"
"It was a good slap, even though I didn't hear it."
"I finally know why Vir Hengtong is so angry."
"It's not right for Wei Hengtong to push people, but it's excusable, no one can bear it, this punishment is very fair, and the two sides are on the top 20 boards!"
"It's just that Verhengtong inexplicably memorized a card, and his defense is no longer so decisive."
"So, it's Chelsea who made it!"
......
On the sidelines, Villas-Boas was also pressuring the fourth official.
The penalty has come down and cannot be changed, but he can use this method to exert some pressure and affect the referee's penalty scale.
Of course, this point is over, and looking at the fourth official's increasingly unkind eyes, Boas kept closing his mouth and turning away.
It's almost there!
TChelsea's free-kick from near post outside the box.
It was a position where he could directly threaten the goal, and the penalty taker was Eden Hazard.
The referee's whistle sounds.
Penalty taker Eden Hazard made an unexpected decision when he didn't shoot straight at goal, but instead sent in a cross.
By this time, the Chelsea players were in a good position.
Several people rose together, and everyone was competing for the top.
At this moment, a beastly figure came first, and a lion shook its head.
Bite!!!!
The ball struck the post with a crisp sound, and the header hit the inside of the post and bounced into the net.
Beep!!
With the referee's whistle, he pointed to the centre circle.
The ball is in!
On 44 minutes of the game, Chelsea's Diego Brown. Costa scored with a header in front of goal to equalise for Chelsea.
Tottenham 1:1 Chelsea!
