Chapter 109: Not Becoming a Savior
"The direction of the game is starting to become unfriendly to Tottenham, Tottenham can do anyone, but they can't lose to Liverpool."
"That's right, in the league standings, Tottenham are fourth with 60 points and Liverpool are fifth with 59 points, and a loss in this game will further shorten the points for Liverpool, with only one point separating the two teams."
'It's not just about the league standings, it's about qualifying for next season's Champions League and Villas-Boas needs to think about it, he can't put Yi on the bench anymore.
Two English TV commentators talk about a brief analysis of Tottenham's current situation.
Tottenham can lose to any team at the top, but not to Liverpool.
With just four points separating the two teams, with eight league games remaining, a loss for Tottenham could see them lose next season's Champions League qualification.
......
"Tottenham are in a worrying situation!"
Duan Xuan said with a worried face, as a football commentator, he is still knowledgeable.
Now it is Liverpool's home stadium, Tottenham Hotspur lost a point in the first half, let alone a draw, if it is still adjusted, it is likely to be extended by Liverpool.
Huang Jianxiang also frowned and said: "It's easy to play, Tottenham's midfielder can't bear it, and Sissoko has made too many mistakes." ”
"And if it goes on like this, it is likely to cause the disconnection of the midfield, and it will be too late to go to Yile then."
Listening to the analysis of the two, Lu Han and Peng Yuyan leaned over and asked, "Is Tottenham's situation difficult now?" ”
Duan Xuan smiled bitterly: "It's not just difficult, at Anfield, Liverpool scored first, their home advantage will not be magnified, not only the team, Liverpool fans will also put home pressure on Tottenham players." ”
"What then?" Lu Han looked at the field and found that Liverpool's offensive was like a tide and he was playing extremely unrestrained.
"Shang Yi Lebei!" Huang Jianxiang said; "Let Yile play, rely on the bonus of the midfield to control the rhythm, first stabilize the form on the field, and then wait for the opportunity to prepare for a counterattack."
Lu Han's eyes lit up and said, "In other words, Yile may play?" ”
"There's a big possibility!" Huang Jianxiang said: "In this game, Tottenham can draw, but not lose! ”
Duan Xuan glanced at Tottenham's coach's seat and said, "However, Boas doesn't seem to have any intention of going to Yile!" ”
"Hehe, someone is going to put pressure on him." Huang Jianxiang said with a smile.
As soon as the words fell, I saw a neat shout from the stands of Tottenham.
Easy!!
Easy!!
Easy!!
Easy!!
Easy!!
In the stands of the away stadium, Tottenham fans chanted Yile's name.
They also feel the situation of Tottenham.
Tottenham have faced difficulties on a number of occasions in the past and each time Ile has been able to step up.
Just like that saying, you can always trust Yi!
And at this moment, Tottenham fans began to call out their heroes!
The deafening cheers resounded at Anfield, and even the boos of the Liverpool fans could not be hidden.
Duan Xuan, Huang Jianxiang and others also shouted with Sa Huan.
Their purpose this time was to watch Yile.
"Tottenham fans are calling out their heroes!" Commentator for English TV. Kenny said with a smile.
At this time, the camera also looks like Boas.
Boas's expression was not good-looking, he looked at Tottenham Hotspur, who was extremely passive in the field, couldn't help sighing, turned around and shouted: "Easy! Go warm up! ”
Yi Le had been waiting for this moment, he immediately got up and ran to the sideline, while assistant coach Michelle also ran over to accompany Yi Le to explain the tactics.
Yi Le suddenly gets up and attracts the camera's attention, and they give Yi Le a close-up.
When the image of Yi Le warming up on the sideline appeared on the big screen, the Tottenham fans erupted in loud cheers.
Liverpool fans, on the other hand, booed wildly.
The voices of both sides intertwined, causing a loud noise.
Even the players who were playing in the stadium looked over in surprise, and when the Liverpool players saw Yile, they subconsciously shivered.
Tottenham's players, on the other hand, were in good spirits.
'Our hang is coming!' ’
Yi Le warmed up along the touchline, deaf to the wild boos of the Liverpool fans.
Michelle accompanied him to explain the tactics, and Yile nodded from time to time.
With 40 minutes into the game, Boas beckoned to Yi Le, and the two got together to talk about tactics.
Yi Le just ran over, only to see a burst of exclamations from the stands behind him.
It was an exclamation from a Liverpool fan.
Yi Le and Boas also looked up and saw Harry. Kane unexpectedly shook Lovren, went straight into the penalty area, and faced the goalkeeper alone.
Everyone held their breath, even Yile and Boas stopped talking and craned their necks to look over.
Matip is harassing Harry. Kane, but the latter was unfazed, making slight adjustments to the ball and volleying hard after observing the position of Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet.
The shot went past Joel Matip and crotched Mignolet again and drilled straight into the Liverpool goal.
After 40 minutes of the first half, Tottenham equalised.
Harry. Kane was celebrating excitedly, and the goal was entirely thanks to Harry. Kane's personal abilities.
Tottenham's players also ran over and put Harry on the side. Kane pounced and played Arhat.
It was a morale-boosting goal.
On the other hand, Yile and Boas on the sidelines were dumbfounded.
Yi Le scratched his head a little embarrassed and asked, "Boss, am I still playing?" ”
Boas; “... You go back and sit down. “
Yile: "......."
......
Harry. Harry Kane's goal saved Tottenham.
But the problem remained unresolved, and after the equaliser, Liverpool's attack became sharper and sharper.
Villas-Boas also saw this, calling for Tottenham to defend with all their might with the remaining five minutes.
Liverpool's attacking intensity is high and Tottenham are not a team known for defensiveness, so just five minutes were particularly difficult.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the Tottenham players couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
They felt that if Liverpool were on the offensive for five minutes, they would really be conceding a goal.
Successfully stabilizing the situation into the second half was the best news for Tottenham.
When the players entered the dressing room, Musa. Sissoko looked a little trembling, he was ready to be scolded.
But Boas only glanced at him lightly and did not criticize, which made Sissoko even more uneasy.
It's like the calm before the storm, and the unknown is the most terrible thing.
"In the second half, I won't make any adjustments!"
Boas's first sentence ordered Moussa. Sissoko was stunned, and only heard Boas say lightly: "Sissoko, in the second half, I don't want to see those low-level mistakes, you still have two chances to make mistakes, this is the trust I can give you, whether you can win the starting position, it depends on your performance, you know, Tottenham does not have a fixed starter, who is in good shape, who is on!" ”
Musa. Sissoko was stunned for a long time, then took a deep breath and said, "Boss, I won't let you down!" ”
Boas nodded, then clapped his hands in encouragement; "Cheer up, guys, it's just a normal game, we've played a lot of times, haven't we? Don't put too much pressure on yourself, believe in yourself, believe in your teammates, and win this game! ”
Boas's face was full of confidence, and he said sonorously: "Just like before, we are here, then we have to take away the three points!" ”
Boas silently added in his heart that the draw was not bad!
......
At the start of the second half, it was clear that Tottenham's style of play had changed.
If Tottenham was a supercar when Yile was there, then Tottenham is a chariot now.
Without too much ground coordination, after a successful interception in the middle, it was passed directly to the frontcourt, allowing the forwards to rely on their individual ability to advance.
Although this style of play is simple and violent, the effect is very good, and Son Heung-min and Harry. Kane is in good shape, and with frequent insertions, he actually began to suppress Liverpool.
The two sides played back and forth, threatening each other's attacks, but there was no goal.
Jurgen Klopp wanted to step up his attack and made a substitution.
Not to be outdone, Boas wants to play against the attack, let's play against the attack.
Both sides were attacking each other's players, but they couldn't find a goal.
Harry. Kane had a good chance but the goalkeeper was brilliant enough to save the ball.
Tottenham Hotspur were the same, with Mane and other Liverpool strikers all having their shots blocked by Lloris.
The protagonists of this game have evolved from players from both sides to goalkeepers from both sides.
Wonderful saves again and again, tense and exciting, and under this confrontation, the two sides never scored again.
After 90 minutes, Tottenham got their wish for a draw.
......
After the game, Jurgen Klopp expressed a hint of dissatisfaction with Liverpool's forward line.
At the same time, he also said that he would restructure the configuration of the strikers, which made Liverpool's strikers a little uneasy, fearing that they would be the ones to be purged.
The next day, Liverpool responded, approaching Chelsea Football Club for a purchase.
The target of the search is Mohamed Salah, who is known as the 'Messi of Egypt'!
