The cheers of the Chelsea fans echoed through Stamford Bridge once again. Against today's formidable Tottenham team, they no longer think they can win easily, as they did before the game. In their opinion, even if it is a draw, as long as they can maintain their unbeaten record against Tottenham at home, they can continue to sing that song satirizing Tottenham, which is already satisfying!

Hoddle's face on the sidelines was full of depression, and after the adjustment of the midfield, the team's defense against Hasselbaink was indeed much tighter, but it gave the opponent's other striker Gudjohnsen a chance.

Why can't this backline give me peace of mind? Hoddle thought depressedly. At the same time, he also called Morientes from the bench.

Yes, he is ready to give the former Real Madrid striker a chance when the team is tied by their opponents again!

Although the Spaniard has only been training with Tottenham for about a week, Hoddle believes his individual qualities can make a difference.

What's more, Hoddle clearly felt that the veteran Sheringham on the pitch was a little overwhelmed. The 36-year-old veteran showed signs of exhaustion after battling out a young and muscular Terry for more than an hour.

Morientes, who had been instructed by Hoddle, also seemed very excited at this time. He has yet to play a game since his move to Tottenham. Although he knows very well that this is because the coach considers that he has just joined the team and has not had time to get along with his teammates. But he's still hungry for the game.

In fact, it was the desire to play that made him choose to leave his beloved Real Madrid temporarily and come to this strange team!

While Morientes was warming up, the game was restarted.

Chelsea, fresh from the scoring, will be hoping to take advantage of the win and try to overtake the scores. Tottenham, who were equalised, will also be hoping to regain the scoreline. As a result, the game turned into a sparring battle.

"Glen Charles used his speed to force a breakthrough and crossed ......"

"The ball was pushed out of the box by Gardner......"

'Frank Lampard showed up on the ball line and volleyed it straight away!'

"Oh~~ The ball was drawn into the stands!"

...... "Simon Davis got the ball, he didn't have many opportunities to play in this game......"

'Nice feint, the Welshman got past Barbayaro and crossed ......' 'Sheringham...... Header! ”

"Oh~~ The top of the ball is weak, it seems that this veteran is a little tired!"

...... "Zenden cut inside and passed to Hasselbaink ......"

"Hasselbaink knocked the ball to the left side of the penalty area, a beautiful one-two......"

"Cendon catches up with the ball and shoots straight at goal......"

"Oh~~~ The ball hit the side-netting, and the Tottenham fans had a false alarm!"

...... "Redknapp passes to the left ......"

"Beautiful...... Edison shook off Frank Lampard after a brilliant leak and he was at high speed! ”

"A direct cross from a 45-degree angle...... No, it's a feint, he cut inside! ”

"Beautiful, shook Petit again, shot straight at goal!"

"Cudicini! The Italian goalkeeper didn't act as a puppet again this time around, and he made a nice side save to keep out Edison's shot......"

…… For a while, Paul Mortenson became the busiest person. Because almost every few minutes two teams create a dangerous attack!

In the 72nd minute, when Friend broke Glenschal's breakaway with a tackle out of bounds, the fourth official on the sidelines held up a substitution sign showing the two numbers 11 and 10.

"Tottenham Hotspur opted for a substitution, and former Real Madrid striker Morientes, who joined in the winter, was sent on by Hoddle, and he replaced the veteran Sheringham!"

Although he was well aware that his place in the main team could be gradually replaced by the Spaniard, Sheringham showed his demeanor as a veteran, giving Morientes a hug on the way out.

The Tottenham fans at the scene also gave their own applause, which was not only to Morientes who played the game, but also to Sheringham, a veteran who contributed to the team!

On the pitch, Morientes drew a cross on his chest. He clearly hopes he can make the most of the next twenty minutes or so.

Regarding Morientes' play, Chen Xi also felt refreshed. Because the Spanish striker is more well-rounded than the veteran Sheringham, and he has no shortage of experience as a member of Real Madrid's Champions League trophy lift, he will definitely help the team more when he comes on.

Even if Chen Xi's personal relationship with Sheringham is better so far, from the team's point of view, Chen Xi still feels that Morientes has a bigger role.

After coming on the field, Morientes did not simply wait for opportunities on the field, but would take advantage of his excellent physical fitness when he first came on the field and actively scramble in the front court!

Morientes' positive performance also made a good impression on Hoddle on the sidelines and Tottenham fans in the stands. Some of those who feared that the former Real Madrid striker would put on a big pitch have also put aside their fears.

Morientes is over 1.85 meters tall as a centre-forward, but his feet are not as rough as some tall centre-forwards. After a short period of adaptation, he also played a couple of good ground games with his teammates!

In the seventy-sixth minute, a through ball he made for Chen Xi made a wall allowed Chen Xi to successfully shake off Melchiot's defense and successfully cross!

It's a pity that when he was outflanked later, he was interfered with by Terry and deflected the ball!

However, Morientes was not discouraged by this, and through these days of joint practice, he had already seen Chen Xi's strength. He was very impressed by Chen Xi's footwork. He believed that Chen Xi would definitely create a chance for him!

For the next ten minutes, the attacks of the two teams were still wave after wave. The head coaches of both teams have not made any more personnel adjustments, and it seems that they don't want to disrupt the rhythm on the field!

As time went on, the fitness of some of the veterans of both teams dropped significantly. And some of the players with excellent physical fitness showed their advantages at this time!

At Chelsea, Frank Lampard, known as the Iron Man, had a clear advantage against his cousin Redknapp. Fortunately, Friend was behind Redknapp to fill in the void, otherwise it would have been dangerous to let Lampard calmly get a long-range shot from the edge of the box.

Compared with Redknapp, the older Petit is also obviously starting to be a little incapable when helping to defend Chen Xi.

Chen Xi, who is still in a burst of physical condition, is active again, and he has sent several threatening crosses on the left side in a row!

If Terry hadn't played in form today and was not at a disadvantage against Morientes, Tottenham would have regained the lead!

The frenzied attacks of both teams seem to be on the verge of scoring at any moment, but at the same time there is a delicate balance.

This balance was finally broken in the 86th minute of the game!

Chen Xi faced Petit's assistance on the left side and chose to forcibly turn around and break through!

The French defender knew that he could not stop Chen Xi's breakthrough, so he remembered what Ranieri said in the middle of the field, and decisively pulled Chen Xi from behind.

It also gave Petit a yellow card, but he didn't really care, and he felt that his foul was still valuable. Because he knows very well what it means once Chen Xi is let go!

Now, Tottenham just got a free-kick from a position on the left, almost forty metres from goal. In his opinion, no matter how good Chen Xi's footwork is, it may be difficult to break through the gate guarded by Cudicini from such a distance, right?

Indeed, after setting up the ball, Chen Xi gave up the idea of hitting the goal directly. If it is a sports battle, in this position, if he chooses to shoot unexpectedly, he still has a chance to catch the opponent's goalkeeper off guard. However, when the set-piece opponent has precautions, it is not easy to do!

At this time, in the Chelsea team's penalty area, the players of the two teams have already stood in two rows near the penalty area line, waiting for Chen Xi to take a free kick!

Morientes was in the front post at this point, as it seemed to him that it was the place where he had the best chance of getting a shot on goal. John Terry is not far from him, and as soon as Morientes steps into the box, he will do everything he can to entangle the Spaniard and not give him an easy chance to fight for the top!

After the referee blew the whistle, Chen Xi started to run, and at the same time, he suddenly shouted in Spanish: "Back point!" ”

Chelsea did not have Spaniards in the squad and although some of the players understood Spanish, they did not react for a while.

Only Morientes, who was about to accelerate to the front point, noticed this familiar native language, and he almost subconsciously chose to turn around and rush towards the back point!

In doing so, he inadvertently formed a fake action that was full of confusion!

Terry, who was waiting for him to rush over, was thrown off by Morientes in an instant!

At this time, Chen Xi also kicked the ball out with his right foot!

The ball was extremely fast, straight to the back of the penalty area!

At this time, the players of both teams almost rushed to the middle of the penalty area, and it was too late to brake when they saw the path of the ball in the air.

Only Morientes, who heard Chen Xi's shouting, came to the back point, because the Chelsea team's defensive division of labor is very clear, so no one made up for him for a while!

"This is an opportunity! Morientes has no one to defend at this time! ”

At the same time as the Morientes arrived, Chen Xi's pass also came! All he had to do was jump high and head the ball towards the goal!

The ball went straight into the top right corner of the net and Cudicini couldn't make a timely save.

“goooooooooal！！！ Morientes !! The Spanish striker scored a goal on his first appearance for Tottenham! And it's a very crucial lore ball! He helped Tottenham Hotspur to once again surpass the scoreline!! ”

Boom~~~ The stands where the Tottenham fans were also instantly erupted in huge cheers!

Hoddle on the sidelines also waved his fists excitedly, and Tottenham's bench fell into jubilation!
