Chapter 194: Captain, Stay Close to Me

As a shot from outside the penalty area went wide, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

In the final period, Arsenal did not score and Tottenham did not counter-attack, and the two sides ended the first half peacefully, although this result was not satisfactory for both sides.

After more than 20 minutes of good football each, Tottenham began to take the initiative and also scored the Arsenal goal with home advantage, but everything changed with Quaresma's goal as Tottenham became the pressed side.

Back in the dressing room, Hoddle went into a rage and sprayed the Tottenham player with a bloody head.

"Shit, are you all sleepwalking on the field?"

"Look at your performance in the first half, don't you feel ashamed of yourself?"

"Obviously took such a big initiative, not only failed to completely crush Arsenal, but also allowed Arsenal to get the score back, are you worthy of the fans in the stands who have been cheering for you?"

"If you just want to mess around with Tottenham, then fuck me off now!"

"It's the hottest north London derby, and if you don't have the consciousness to do it, you won't get anything!"

"In the second half we have to win the opponent, at all costs, if anyone thinks they can't do it, give me the game now!"

"Win, I'm going to win!"

......

In front of such an excited Hoddle, the Tottenham players all blushed and wanted to refute, but they didn't know how to speak.

They also want to play well, like in the first half, to take Arsenal out of breath.

But Quaresma's goal, like a needle, directly popped the balloon, and all the momentum exploded and dissipated in the air.

"If you feel that the midfielder can't stop Arsenal, then use foul tactics, this is White Hart Lane, and the referee will definitely consider the impact of the home field, anyway, you must not back down! Do you understand? ”

Hoddle roared with hatred, as if he wished he could play in person.

I have to say that the effect of Hoddle's roar is obvious, and at the beginning of the second half, it can be seen that Tottenham seems to have changed back to Tottenham at the beginning of the first half.

Fortunately, Arsenal is also prepared accordingly, and Tottenham Hotspur has been fighting in the midfield without backing down, and the popularity of the derby seems to have reached an unstoppable level.

Quaresma saw anger in Reid's eyes, thinking that this guy must have been sprayed by the Tottenham manager in midfield because of his poor defense.

So, you're looking for trouble with me now?

However, in the following period, Quaresma did not encounter any small movements, and Reid was as inseparable from himself as in the first half, and he was more determined.

In the 51st minute of the second half, Quaresma raised his hand on the left side to ask for the ball, and Ashley Cole handed the ball to Quaresma, and at the same time he also stepped forward and crossed the halfway line.

Quaresma turned around and wanted to wipe Reid, and the moment he finished the turn, he pushed the ball back into Ashley Cole's path, and at the same time he wanted to accelerate forward and hit Tottenham Hotspur with a wave of ruthlessness.

But at the moment when the ball came out, the force that surged from his side pushed Quaresma to the ground, and it was obvious that Reed was forced to use the foul action when there was no way to stop Quaresma.

Unfortunately, the ball had already been picked up by Ashley Cole, and although Quaresma fell to the ground, the referee moved his hands forward and signaled for the game to continue.

Quaresma's fall was quite uncomfortable, Reid pushed too hard, making Quaresma quite embarrassed, and by the time he got up and glared at Reid, Arsenal's attack was over, and Ashley Cole's cross was wasted by Reyes.

The referee hurried over at this time, he was afraid that Quaresma would clash with Reed at a loss, after all, Reed had definitely committed a deliberate foul just now.

After staring at Reed for a long time, watching the referee warn Reed a few words, Quaresma walked towards his own half, muttering a few words, but he did not give up on Reid.

It's barely a tactical foul, and it's not too dangerous, it's very common on the court, and if you can't stand it, then Quaresma doesn't have to kick the ball.

However, in the next few attacks, Reed used this kind of innocuous foul to prevent Quaresma from continuing to move forward when there was no way to restrain Quaresma, which made Quaresma irritable.

"Are you going to do this kind of tricks?" As he waited to catch the ball, Quaresma glared at Reid.

Reed shook his head disdainfully, looking like what could you do to me.

Quaresma took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, if he couldn't stay calm, then Quaresma would have had a hard time thinking of a way to get rid of Reed's entanglement with him.

This is really very helpless, after all, Reid's foul positions are near the side of the midfield, even if there is a free kick, it can't directly threaten the goal, and because Tottenham's defensive formation is complete, even if he doesn't foul, Quaresma can't face the Tottenham goal, so Reid won't even get a yellow card.

Sure enough, it's an old fritter!

Quaresma couldn't help but sigh slightly, it seems that this kind of defensive style can limit his play more than the offer, after all, a foul alone is enough to disrupt his breakthrough rhythm.

What to do?

Although Tottenham are not leading the way, Quaresma is far from content with a draw, even if it is the home of Tottenham, and he wants to lead Arsenal to victory in the north London derby.

Standing in place, staring at the Tottenham goal, Quaresma did not move, as if he had lost his way by Reid's foul, but in fact, his eyes suddenly bloomed with a strange brilliance.

"Captain, get close to me and help me pull the opponent's defense!" Before another attack, Quaresmara held Henry in check, but did not deliberately keep his voice down.

Henry nodded, after all, he didn't have many chances to get the ball when he was crouching in the box, so it was better to see what surprise Quaresma would bring him.

The Tottenham players also heard Quaresma's words and couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

What do you call a whisper?

We hear you so clearly!

As a result, while Henry's position was slightly retreated, Tottenham full-back Pamarot and central defender Ledley King were also slightly forward, and on the left side of Quaresma's attack, the personnel of both sides suddenly became dense.

Seeing this scene, Wenger couldn't help frowning, no matter what Quaresma and Henry said just now, now Tottenham has completely put the defensive focus on this side, even the Tottenham goalkeeper has moved a lot towards this side in the small penalty area, even if Quaresma breaks through sharply, it is difficult to break through Tottenham's current airtight defense, right?
