118 King of Highbury
After the game restarted, the Arsenal team launched a frantic counterattack, as the commentator had expected.
Relying on their formidable midfield, Arsenal almost completely pushed Tottenham back into their own half.
Arsenal's attack was more concentrated on the left flank, with Ljungberg and Thierry Henry taking turns attacking Karl's right flank, and even Ashley Cole frequently pressed for assists.
Even though Simon Davies and Friend will take turns to defend on the right side, Arsenal's left trio can easily tear a crack on Tottenham's right side!
In the sixth minute, Ashley Cole suddenly sent a through ball to the ribs of Tottenham's box near a 45-degree angle on the left flank.
After Henry received the ball, he directly pushed the ball with his right foot into the far corner, and the ball went straight to the bottom of the net!
Highbury was instantly overwhelmed by the cheers of the Arsenal fans!
But the linesman's raised whistle, as well as the referee's whistle, put an end to the Arsenal celebration!
"Yes! Henry's goal is offside! The referee's decision was very accurate! β
Knowing that the opponent's goal was invalid, the Tottenham fans, who were still depressed just now, immediately broke out into a huge cheer, which overshadowed the Arsenal fans who were happy for a while.
Naturally, the Arsenal fans were reluctant to let the Tottenham fans cheer in front of them, so they quickly overshadowed the cheers of the Tottenham fans with boos dedicated to the referee.
"The rivalry between the fans on the sidelines is no weaker than the confrontation on the pitch, and this is the hot north London derby!"
A goal was blown out of action and it clearly affected the mood of the Arsenal players. Tottenham also took the opportunity to regain some of the initiative. The two teams began a close confrontation!
"Pires breaks through Ziggy's defense!"
"He chose to knock on the door before ......"
"Patrick Vieira keeps up with the long shot! Shoot high! β
β¦β¦
"Redknapp goes straight to the left......"
"Edison used his speed to shake off Lauren and directly received the ball and crossed!"
"Sheringham beat Campbell's header!"
"Oh~~~ The ball was put on top of the stands!"
β¦β¦
"Ljungberg cut down the middle and played the ball into the box!"
"Henry leaned on Ledley King and caught the ball!"
"Henry chose to turn and shoot straight away!"
"Brilliant save! Keller keeps the gates open!! β
β¦β¦
"Edison hit Vieira and Lauren and knocked the ball down the middle!"
"Redknapp shook off the gap and shot straight away!"
Saban pounced on the ball...... Robbie Keane follows up with the follow-up shot! β
"Oh~~~ Sigan's timely sliding tackle made Robbie Keane's follow-up shot to the bottom line!"
β¦β¦
Although Tottenham Hotspur had a one-goal lead, they still played against Arsenal without reservation! It's not about winning or losing, it's just about the dignity of the derby!
Even in previous seasons, Tottenham, which is obviously inferior to Arsenal, will go all out to fight against strong opponents, not to mention today's Tottenham team that is second in the standings!
"This is a derby! It's so exciting!! Yang Xu, who was sitting in the stands, did not stop for a moment.
"Yes! It's even better to be back in White Hart Lane! Lao Zhang said with a smile on the side.
In this way, the two teams played against each other for a full fifteen minutes, and although they both had good chances, they failed to change the score!
In the fifteenth minute, Tottenham were awarded a corner. Big men like Ledley King, Richards and Flender are in the box ready to go for the ball.
Arsenal also have big men like Patrick Vieira, Campbell, Sigan and Lauren.
Although Henry is also 1.88 meters tall, his header ability is almost negligible, so he only symbolizes his surname to defend near the penalty line.
Looking at the stalemate in the penalty area, Chen Xi really couldn't find a good opportunity. Pires standing nearby also put an end to the possibility of Chen Xi taking a tactical corner.
Therefore, Chen Xi simply decided to try his luck and drove a flat and fast ball into the penalty area.
The quality of the corner was very high, and it went straight to Ledley King at the front post!
It's a pity that it is the super air bully Campbell in the England backline who defends Ridley King!
Facing this little brother of the old club, Campbell didn't leave him any face, and directly pushed the ball out of the penalty area!
Henry saw Campbell grab the penalty and sped towards the outside of the box, where the ball landed right in front of him.
"This is an opportunity to fight back!"
Stopping the ball, Henry lay down with the ball at high speed. High-speed dribbling with the ball for a long distance, but his specialty!
Seeing Henry take the ball, Redknapp, who was ambushed outside the penalty area, chased after the Frenchman with all his might.
It's a pity that no matter how hard Redknapp tries hard, he can't catch up with Henry. The ball at the Frenchman's feet seemed to be glued to his feet, and it didn't affect his sprint speed at all!
Almost in the blink of an eye, Henry took the ball across the midfield. Redknapp had been dumped by him.
With the tall Zieg also fighting for the top in the box, Tottenham's left-hand defence was very empty at this time. Stephen Karl, who stayed at the back, had to make up for it.
But the Irish couldn't stop Henry, who had already sprinted with all his might, and saw Henry's several centroid shakes shook off Carl and continued to rush towards the penalty area!
As Campbell pushed the ball out, Simon Davis, who was also outside the box, began to run back with all his might.
After Henry passed Stephen Carr, he just made up for it!
Seeing that Henry was making the ball wide and far away from his body, Simon Davis decisively stepped up.
But he overlooked the fact that the tall Henry had two long legs. Although Simon Davis was well in time to get on the scavenging, Henry was able to poke the ball away before he could.
After shaking off Simon Davis, Henry was already on the edge of the penalty line. Without any hesitation, he directly got up with his left foot and pushed it into the near corner!
Despite Keller's timely save, there was nothing he could do in the face of Thierry Henry's awkwardly angled shot, and the ball grazed the near post and flew into the back of the net!
βwhat~a~~~~goooooooooal!!! Henry! Henry! Henry!!! Unbelievable goal!! The King of Highbury defended Highbury's dignity with a long-distance run that lasted through the field!! β
Boom~~~ Highbury is in a frenzy!
After a wild cheer, the Arsenal fans sang their Henry song.
"If you come to Highbury, you will see St. Henry! There are so many stars I have seen in this life, but he has always been the most wonderful one! Because he has a name - Thierry Henry! β
"He used to play for Italy, and the Juventus team, known as the 'Old Lady', a call from Highbury, brought him here!"
"We love the style, we love the smile, we love the way he speaks, he dresses like he's from New York!"
"He's such a person, the best guy on the land, the guy who made this sport so beautiful!"
"If you come to Highbury, you will see St. Henry! There are so many stars I have seen in this life, but he has always been the most wonderful one! Because he has a name - Thierry Henry! β
β¦β¦
Accompanied by the singing of the fans, Hyung completed his celebration with a slippery knee.
Is this how kings are treated? Although he was equalized by Henry, Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the whole stadium singing for him alone.
Hoddle on the sidelines was very unhappy with the team's entire defense being torn apart by Thierry Henry alone. He obviously forgot one point, that is, Chen Xi in his team had also torn apart the opponent's defense line many times.
"1-1, only a third of the way through the first half, both teams each contributed a world wave that was enough to be named the goal of the week! Now the scores of the two teams are back on the same running line, and the scorer dialogue between Henry and Edison is back to a draw! This makes me look forward to the next games even more! There's a good chance we're going to witness a classic north London derby! β
It wasn't until the referee intervened that Arsenal ended their celebrations and returned to their own half!
After the game restarted, the two teams still did not intend to stop, but continued to attack!
The fierce confrontation scene not only excited the fans in the stands, but also made them nervous!
In the twentieth minute, Chen Xi launched a very threatening attack!
After breaking through Pires' defense on the left, he suddenly went to the middle!
In the face of Vieira's frontal defence, he suddenly sent the ball to the right!
Simon Davis, who was high there, got the ball before Ashley Cole did, and he sent the ball straight away after the ball was stopped!
The ball went straight to the front and Robbie Keane shook off Sigan's defence and finished with a lion flick!
It's a pity that his head shake was not in place, and finally the ball was pushed into the side netting!
Oh~~~~ This made the Tottenham fans in the stands sigh of regret!
Tottenham squandered a chance, Arsenal created another!
Five minutes later, Tottenham switched from defence to attack and Ledley King passed the ball to Redknapp!
After the Tottenham captain received the ball and turned around, he found that Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira had rushed in front of him!
"Vieira broke the ball! This is an opportunity! β
Vieira grabbed the ball directly from Redknapp's feet and then dribbled forward!
With Tottenham just switching from defence to attack, the players were pressing forward, so they were a little unprepared for Patrick Vieira's break.
Vieira obviously knew this too, so he didn't slow down, but went straight with the ball!
Ledley King, who was behind Redknapp, quickly stepped up to the defense!
Vieira didn't slow down in the face of Ledley King, but poked the ball straight forward and forced an overtake!
