Chapter Twenty-Seven: Three Consecutive Draws
On August 20, the second round of the 2016/2017 Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur VS Crystal Palace.
White Hart Lane Stadium.
"This ..........."
Lawrence, the on-site commentator, looked at this 'anti-aircraft gun' in amazement, and roared wildly in his heart.
Can you not be so outrageous!
Another single knife!
Again!!
How many opportunities do you want to waste!!
Sun Xingmin knelt on the ground and shook his head regretfully and got up.
Dele. Ali stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Don't care, I know how it feels. β
Dele. Ali also wasted a one-on-one chance in the 15 minutes of the first half.
The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Suddenly, the two of them felt chills in their vests, and they always felt a pair of eyes staring at them, making their bodies stiff as if they were on pins and needles.
Looking at Torres, who was slowly walking towards the two, Sun Xingmin asked worriedly, "Yi, are you staring at us?" β
Dele. Ali also looked nervously at Torres.
Torres looked into the middle circle, and saw the boy with his waist tucked up, motionless, and a pair of eyes staring at the two men.
Torres shrunk his neck and grinned, "Yes, your hunch is not wrong. β
Sun Xingmin and Dele. Aliden was even more depressed.
......
If you want to say depressed, who has easy to be depressed.
How many exquisite passes he made in these two games, but all of them were wasted by these three guys.
Yi Le felt that these three people were messing with his mentality, no matter how good his temper was, Yi Le also had a feeling of being angry and about to explode.
Even Yi Le had the idea of kryptonite.
The most outrageous thing is that this time Krypton is not because the other party is too strong, but because his own forward line is too special and fucked.
At this time, Yile was surrounded by the atmosphere of no one entering, and these two games directly kicked Yile into an explosion of mentality.
The game started again, and the game lasted 74 minutes.
Yi Le held the ball up front, but this time he didn't pass the ball, but a clever escape that went straight into the opposition penalty area.
Yile's choice surprised everyone, and he rarely made a breakthrough in front of the opposition penalty area.
The opposing player began to mark Yile, but he resolutely did not pass the ball, broke through to the right baseline in the penalty area, used a speed change, opened up half a body, and then hit the goal with a bang.
This kick was not in the right position, the power was insufficient, and he was held in the arms of the opposing goalkeeper.
After knocking on the door, Yi Le was expressionless and didn't speak, and ran towards the middle circle with a straight face.
The Tottenham players looked at each other, especially Torres, Dele. Ali and Sun Xingmin looked embarrassed.
Do they dare to give an opinion on Yile's non-passing behavior?
Can't!
And they've wasted too many opportunities.
......
PP Sports, Premier League live broadcast room.
Zhan Jun witnessed this attack and said with some embarrassment; Yi Le's expression was a little serious, and he was very unhappy with his teammates' behavior of not scoring in these two games.
Director Zhang Lu also nodded and said: "The main thing is that too many opportunities have been wasted, and the performance of the Tottenham midfield is not to be said, but the state of the forward line is not good." Torres and Son Heung-min couldn't find their form, and Ali was a little too anxious. β
Zhan Jun nodded and said, "That's right!" And Yi Le is only 20 years old this year, and when his teammates don't score, there are some problems in his mentality. β
'Kane is injured, the form of the other strikers is sluggish, and Tottenham are in big trouble at the start of the season.
There is also a lot of discussion on the barrage.
"Ali was in too much of a rush to perform, he was squeezing Torres' space too much."
"Sun Xingmin pulls across! That's a waste of balls. β
"Yi Le: I'm too difficult."
"Absolutely, forcing Yi Le to shoot, this forward state is too inferior."
"Kane is still injured at this juncture, who can save Tottenham!"
"The performance of Tottenham's forward trio is really unsatisfactory, and Kane is not on the field, Tottenham can't make a goal to boost morale, and now Tottenham is relying on Kante and Yile to support in the midfield, but what if they concede a goal? Maybe there will really be a crash. β
"Don't! I also want to see Yile kill all sides in the Champions League! β
"Waste front, eat shit!"
......
Tottenham had problems up front and the lack of goals became a sharp point of contention for Tottenham.
In the dugout, Boas and Michelle were standing together, and the two were talking.
"There's something wrong with Yi's mentality." Michelle said with some solemnity.
The most frustrating of these two games was none other than Yi Le, who played well, but the lack of strength in the front line, which put him under a lot of attacking pressure, and Yi Le is not the kind of midfielder who can score goals.
Boas also frowned deeply, he took a deep breath, and said: "Let Elkeson play, replace Kante, and see if he can change the situation." β
With 80 minutes of play, Elkeson came off the bench.
However, Elkeson's introduction did not turn the situation around, but Tottenham were somewhat unable to withstand the attack of Crystal Palace, and there were several threatening shots on goal.
Fortunately, Alderved still played bravely and managed to keep the draw at Tottenham.
After two league games, Tottenham have drawn twice.
In the standings, Manchester City are on top of Chelsea.
With two wins, he finished first and second with six points.
Manchester City temporarily lead the standings due to the lead in goal count.
Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool are all one win and one loss.
Tottenham, on the other hand, suffered two draws and finished outside the top 10 with two points, a start that worried Tottenham fans.
Crucially, Tottenham's problems have not been resolved, and the form of the strikers is a big problem.
London Sport newspaper issued a report: "Tottenham started badly, their competitive form was poor, against Crystal Palace and Everton, Tottenham did not show their dominant performance in the warm-up, if this form continues, when they meet Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and other strong teams, what will happen to them?" β
'Mr Villas-Boas is going to get moving, he can't sit still, as things stand, Tottenham's recruitment this season has not been successful.
Tottenham did not reply to the heated discussion from the outside world, and the only thing they did was to hold an internal emergency meeting.
This time even Chairman Levy was alarmed by the internal meeting.
Levy even offered a hefty prize money to motivate Tottenham's strikers, but he clearly overthought the problem.
On August 27, the third round of the 2016/2017 Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur VS Liverpool.
The fable was verified, and they encountered Uncle Scum's Liverpool.
In this game, Tottenham played an exceptionally difficult game.
Villas-Boas's line-up went awry in the first half and almost resulted in a goal, but he was quick to correct himself and brought N'Golo Kante on again to stabilize the midfield defence.
Yile's rhythm in the midfield is still very good, but he can't score.
The two sides come and go.
In the 60th minute of the second half, Liverpool scored first.
This made Tottenham even more impatient, and Yile kept passing the ball to the front line, but these guys really couldn't help it.
In the end, Yi Le gave up on them and switched to positional warfare and encirclement tactics, which was very tiring to kick down, but the effect was very good.
In the 85th minute of the second half, near the end of the game, relying on a corner kick from Yi Le, full-back Alderved headed the goal to pull back the score.
Aldved couldn't stop roaring after the goal, looking extremely excited.
And a full-back's goal also put Tottenham's forward line on the cusp again, and everyone can expect that after the game, Tottenham's forward line will once again attract a wave of scolding and accusations.
In the end, Tottenham managed to hold on to the draw.
So far, Tottenham has ushered in a wave of three consecutive draws.
After the game, the topic of 'Tottenham Hotspur collapse' was particularly hot, if last season, Tottenham relied on Yile's sudden comeback success, then this season, where is their turnaround?
Everyone pondered and finally found out.... No!
......
Tottenham Hotspur Club Premises, inside the Sports Director's Office.
Fox sat in an office chair with a trash can between his legs and was cutting his nails.
Suddenly, there was a slam opening the door, startling Fawkes.
When he saw the person who came, he couldn't help but complain: "Sir, no one has taught you to knock on the door first when you enter the door?" β
Boas was in a bad mood, he didn't care about this, waved his hand impatiently and said, "I want to buy someone!" β
WHATοΌοΌ
Buying people?
No way!!!!
Fox said solemnly: "Sir, you must know that we don't...."
"I don't care!" Boas brutally interrupted.
Fox: "??? β
What the hell... Don't nod your face.
Bang!!
Boas slapped his hands heavily on the desk, leaned forward, and said in a deep voice: "I only need to buy one person, it's not expensive!" β
"Many... How much? Fawkes' eyelids jumped.
Boas said in a deep voice: "To be precise, there is no transfer fee, we only need to pay his salary. β
When Fox heard that he didn't want a transfer fee, he couldn't help but frown and said, "Free transfer? β
"That's right!"
"Are you sure you can convince the other party?"
"No one can say no to Tottenham, no striker can say no to Yi!"
The latter sentence is the point.
"How much do you want to give?"
"200,000 pounds!"
Foxden's eyes widened.
Now Tottenham's Β£200,000 salary has three origins in the past.
Yile's maximum salary is Β£300,000.
N'Golo Kante's Β£250,000.
In order to keep Harry. Kane, the club pays a salary of 280,000 pounds.
Plus 200,000 pounds, you're a hell of a loser!
Fox was about to refuse, only to hear Boas say in a deep voice: "He can help us win the Champions League!" β
Fox: "......"
