181 Shocking Kill
Morientes' goal clearly put Parma in a desperate situation. However, at this time, Prandelli did not have any cards in his hand, and several of the team's most threatening attackers were on the field, so he could only come to the sidelines and wave his hand, signaling the players to continue to attack!
Parma's players are also clearly aware that they have reached a point where there is no way back. So although they have been fighting for nearly seventy minutes, they have not shown fatigue, but their fighting spirit has become more vigorous!
When kick-off was restarted, it wasn't just the two strikers and two wing-backs who were involved, but even the two central midfielders and left-back Júnior were involved in the attack.
Only two central defenders remained at the back, while right-back Bonella was ready to defend against Chen Xi's counterattack!
In the seventy-second minute, Mutu suddenly accelerated in a straight line after winning the ball on the right side of the penalty area and burst into the penalty area!
As he dribbled to the ribs of the box, he played a half-high ball into the Tottenham penalty area in great concealment.
Gilardino was already in place, and just as he was sideways to volley, Richards was just in time to head the ball out before he could shoot!
"This is a brave relief! Richards risked being kicked to the head by Gilardino and pushed the ball out of the box! Fortunately, Gilardino also stopped in time! ”
Richards' defense is also a true portrayal of the hard work of the Spurs backline players in the coming period!
Tottenham's defensive quality is not great, but the fighting spirit of their backline players is not bad. In fact, with the team's attacking power unusually strong, Tottenham's defenders are not willing to drag the team back!
Soon, Mutu made a comeback, and he used his speed on the right to get rid of Tarico (Ziggy was injured, Tarico started, and the 178 chapter bug has been fixed) and went straight to the bottom cross!
The ball swept in front of the goal at such a fast speed that neither the attacking player nor the defender could touch the ball, and the ball flew to the back post!
"Bresciano...... Directly volleyed from a small angle! ”
"Oh...... The ball was blasted into the stands by him! ”
Three minutes later, Parma created another good chance. After Ramucci dribbled the ball past the midfield, he directly hoisted the ball in front of Adriano near the penalty line!
The Brazilian used his strong body to lean Ledley King behind him, then picked up the ball to the left and then quickly turned for a direct volley!
Ledley Kim has been fighting Adriano for nearly two games, and is somewhat familiar with his surname, and after discovering Adriano's intention to turn, he dishonestly held Adriano with both hands, and at the same time his own feet reached for the ball at his side, hoping to destroy the ball.
The two were entangled like a pair of tango dance partners, and as a result, they fell directly into the penalty area, and the ball was kicked directly out of the sideline by Richards not far away!
"Penalty! The Englishman has committed a foul! ”
"This~ is just wrestling!"
"It's a foul! It's so obvious, it's a penalty! ”
The stands burst into the shouts of Parma fans!
Adriano fell in the Tottenham penalty area and the referee ruled ...... He motioned for the game to continue! ”
The referee had just seen clearly that Richards did have a movement on his hands, but it did not make him decide to award a penalty. The Czech referee obviously knows that in the Premier League this is a normal defence.
Shhh~~~ The stands instantly erupted in earth-shattering boos from the home fans.
Adriano, who got up from the ground, was also angry, and several other Parma players nearby were also surrounding the referee.
"Referee, this goal should definitely be a penalty!"
"Referee, there is no doubt that it was a foul just now! They're all hugging! ”
"The referee, they ruined a chance for us to attack with a foul, it should be a penalty......"
In the face of the arguments of the Parma players, the referee gracefully withdrew from their encirclement, and then said: "I can see very clearly, it was a reasonable defense just now, please keep playing!" ”
Prandley on the sidelines was also angry at this time, but he retained a bit of demeanor and did not go to the sidelines to scold!
Having been pressed by Parma for so long, Tottenham Hotspur is also struggling to find opportunities to counter-attack.
When the game entered the last ten minutes, Chen Xi launched a counterattack, and after he got the ball on the left side, he dribbled the ball past the midfield, and without waiting for the opposing player to wrap it up, he directly sent a long pass to the right side of the penalty area.
It turned out that Simon Davis came to a position close to the middle, and in the face of Chen Xi's pass, he steadily unloaded the incoming ball, and then picked up his right foot and volleyed directly!
The ball went straight to the far corner of the goal like a cannonball!
"Simon Davis shoots straight from distance!"
"Beautiful! Frey flew sideways, lifted the ball off the crossbar with a light lift! ”
Simon Davis looked depressed, his long-range shot just now was of very high quality, but it was still saved by the goalkeeper. While he was depressed, he didn't forget to give Chen Xi a thumbs up!
With less and less time on the table, Parma also turned their goal to score another goal and tie the aggregate score first. In that case, the two teams will play overtime!
These young players of Parma have shown their immature mentality at this time!
Seeing that there is not much time, they are no longer patiently organizing the attack, but blindly increasing the number of long-range shots, whether it is a striker or a midfielder, and even the full-back Júnior, who inserts an assist, is a direct long-range shot at the first opportunity!
A long-range shot with a chance that is not particularly ripe is a complete waste of possession!
Prandelli, who was on the sidelines, was unhappy with the situation, but he didn't bother to correct it, apparently hoping that the players would "mess around and make a fortune".
In the eighty-sixth minute, Lamouchi, who was inserted in the back, received a pass from Mutu and shot directly from a distance! It's a pity that his shot is very lacking in both angle and power, and he was directly caught in Keller's arms!
Keller didn't waste time after holding the ball, but drove directly to the front court with a big foot!
Keller's kick was flat and fast, quite a bit of a South American goalkeeper's style, and the ball flew directly to Morientes in the frontcourt!
Morientes leaned on Cannavaro Jr. and directly returned the ball to Chen Xi, who had already plugged in!
After Chen Xi received the ball, he rushed directly towards the middle lane at high speed!
Since Lamouci has not had time to return to the defense after inserting the attack, there is only one defender in the middle of the Parma team at this time!
Chen Xi strode into the opponent's forty-meter area, and Barone had to defend himself!
Facing the Italian midfielder, Chen Xi calmly stepped on the bicycle twice, and then suddenly took the ball to his right front and temporarily shook off the opponent.
After shaking off the angle, Chen Xi did not choose to continue to break through, but took advantage of the situation and directly picked up his right foot!
The outside of his right foot hit the ball heavily, if you give the ball a close-up at this time, you will definitely find that the ball was obviously distorted at the moment when Chen Xi's right foot touched the ball, which shows the power of his shot!
After colliding with Chen Xi's right foot, the ball flew directly towards the opponent's goal like a cannonball!
When Chen Xi shook off the angle and picked up his right leg, Frei was ready to save, and the moment the ball came out, he flew towards his left side!
Judging from the path of the ball, Frey didn't seem to have much of a problem catching the ball, but it didn't take long for him to change his mind with a sharp arc drawn by the football!
At this time, the fans behind the goal had a more intuitive impression of the trajectory of the shot, and they found that the ball that originally seemed to fly towards the middle of the goal drew an arc in the air and actually drilled directly into the upper right corner of the goal!
In the face of such an exaggerated arc, Frey's save became useless, and he could only watch the ball fly into the goal in the air!
“it`s~a~gooooooooal!!! fantastic~~gooooooal!!! Edison! Edison! Edison! His outside volley sent the ball in an unbelievable arc and flew straight into the corner of the goal! This goal made Frei helpless! 3-3, Chen Xi helped Tottenham equalize, and the total score became 7-5, Tottenham Hotspur has locked the win in advance, this is a stunner! ”
The moment the ball went into the net, the 2,000 Tottenham fans in the stadium erupted in crazy cheers, while the Parma fans fell into despair!
The Tottenham Hotspur coaches and players on the sidelines also got up from their seats and rushed to the sidelines to celebrate wildly!
Chen Xi, who scored the goal, rushed to the sidelines, and at the same time took off his jersey, revealing a white vest on his body, only to see two huge numbers "43" written on it.
"Oh~~~ It seems that Edison came prepared, he wrote the number 43 on his vest, which is the total number of goals he scored this season after scoring this goal, and this goal helped him tie Jimmy Greaves and become the player with the most goals in a single season in Tottenham history!"
Soon, Chen Xi's teammates rushed up and joined in the celebration!
"Congratulations! Edison, one more one will break the record! ”
"It's so beautiful! We won! We're in the quarterfinals! ”
…… Everyone sent their congratulations to Chen Xi.
After the celebration, Chen Xi put on his jersey again, and the confident smile was still on his face. In fact, he was originally going to write 44 before the game, after all, scoring 44 goals is his real record. It's just that considering the difficulty of completing a hat trick against a Serie A team, Chen Xi still wrote 43 in a low-key manner. Well, he was ready to score a brace before the game, and he was really low-key!
Compared to Tottenham, who were celebrating wildly, Parma's side was in a state of gloom. They are now two goals behind on aggregate and, more importantly, Tottenham are ahead of them in away goals. If they are to progress to the quarter-finals, they will have to score three goals in the final minutes, which is undoubtedly an impossible task.
Prandelli on the sidelines was also quiet at this time, he knew that the game had ended early. His 424 formation finally lost the bet and lost to that Chinese kid alone!
The final minutes were completely garbage time, with both teams in a careless affair and the referee blowing the whistle for the end of the game after two minutes of stoppage time.
The Ennio Tadini Stadium became a sea of celebration for the Tottenhams...... "Congratulations to Tottenham, who had the last laugh and managed to qualify for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup. Congratulations to Dickson, who became Tottenham's all-time top scorer in a single season. Of course, there are still many games left for him, and he has plenty of opportunities to break and expand this record! ”
