131 Dense defensive nemesis

bought a new car, although it couldn't be driven yet, Chen Xi still called Yang Xu and they had a meal together to celebrate.

Hearing that Chen Xi spent 120,000 pounds to buy a luxury sports car, this made Yang Xu, David Marvin and Danny Weir shout that Chen Xi is a luxury guy.

Yang Xu is okay, his father is the boss of the group, and he is also a rich second generation. David Marvin and Danny Weir both came from poor backgrounds, and although both signed professional contracts, neither had very high incomes.

Especially David Marvin, as a reserve player, his annual salary is much worse than Chen Xi's, and he has no other bonuses, let alone endorsement contracts and the like.

At the dinner table, his envy was overflowing: "Edison, with a sports car, you will be even more invincible in the future!" ”

"Hehe, then you have to wait for me to get my driver's license!" Chen Xi said with a wry smile.

"Damn! I bought a car without even a driver's license! It's better to buy such an expensive car, rich people are different! Yang Xu also despised Chen Xi on the side.

"After buying a car, I'm motivated to get a driver's license! I've already signed up! Ha ha! "Chen Xi returned to London yesterday, and the first thing he did during the day today was to register for the driver's license test.

"Edison! What a wise decision to switch to football! It's only been a long time since I bought a brand-name sports car! Look at me, I'm still slowly messing around on the team's bench! "Danny Weir is also envious.

"Hehe, don't worry, Danny! Sooner or later, your talent will be discovered by the coach. You're the most talented runner besides me! "According to my memory, this Danny Weir is indeed a very talented runner, not to mention fast, and his body is extremely flexible. Although it is worse than himself, he is definitely outstanding among his peers. Not surprisingly, playing as a regular for the Hornets or even being selected for the England team in the future is not a big problem.

After a meal, Chen Xi's good mood was also passed on to a few friends.

There are good things, you can share them with your brothers, and when you are bored, there are also beautiful women on a date, Chen Xi's life is really comfortable! ――

These days, Chen Xi has been practicing for the driver's license test in addition to training.

Since he had a good driving skill before the crossing, he also learned very quickly in the car. He just had to overcome some of the differences in the rules of the road between the UK and China.

The UK is now one of only a handful of countries that drive on the left-hand side, contrary to China's right-hand driving rule. And the British are all right-hand drive cars. This is the biggest difference between China and the UK in this regard. This difference is naturally not a big problem for Chen Xi, who has an extremely developed large and small brain. So he learns his driver's license very quickly!

However, due to the British regulations that he must complete the required class hours, and Chen Xi usually has to participate in training every day, there are not many opportunities to participate in learning, so it will take him about two months to pass the exam!

In the middle of the week, Tottenham Hotspur, who played as substitutes and reserves, defeated League One (later Championship) Princeton in the UEFA Cup to advance to the quarter-finals.

In the quarter-finals, Tottenham will face Wigan in the same division as Princeton.

Tottenham's League Cup draw has been a good season this season, with a number of lower-tier teams always drawn, which has allowed the team to reach the quarter-finals even though they have not sent many main players.

For this result, Hoddle still feels like a sweet annoyance.

Of course, he doesn't mind his luck until the final if he can. After all, in this kind of cup competition, the difficulty of winning the championship is much lower than that of the league. Hoddle has yet to win a championship since he coached Tottenham, so he will not "dislike" even the most frivolous League Cup.

At the weekend, Tottenham Hotspur ushered in the 17th round of the league and hosted West Bromwich Albion!

West Bromwich Albion, who were promoted last season, are aiming for relegation this season. But even such a simple goal is difficult for them to accomplish. Towards the halfway point of the season, they have only managed three wins and three draws, sitting in the penultimate position.

If they don't make a significant improvement in the second half of the season, a return to League One could be their destination for the season!

At White Hart Lane, West Bromwich Albion, who are aiming for a point against Tottenham, put on a bucket formation.

Dense defense has always been a problem that many giant teams are difficult to solve, but for Tottenham, they have the best weapon to break through dense defense - Chen Xi!

Chen Xi not only has excellent skills, but also has an excellent set-piece kung fu.

Therefore, whether he uses his personal ability to make a strong breakthrough or uses excellent footwork to threaten the opponent's goal with a set-piece, it is a good weapon to break through dense defenses!

And in this game, it was Chen Xi's two weapons that helped the team open the door to victory!

In the first half, West Bromwich Albion's stubborn defense worked very well as they were about to retire heading into the break.

Chen Xi suddenly broke out on the left side and pried a hole in West Bromwich Albion's iron pass!

Chen Xi's 45-degree angle cross was pushed out by the opposing central defender, and the ball flew towards Chen Xi again.

He first met the ball with a light pick past the defenders who pounced on the strong landing point, and then went down the left side towards the middle of the box!

Facing the opponent's right-back, Chen Xi broke through to the bottom line in the penalty area after a fake fax buckle!

This caused chaos in the West Bromwich Albion penalty area, and Chen Xi found a gap in the chaos and pushed the ball sideways to the goal.

Veteran Sheringham stabbed the ball into the back of the net first, but despite a touch from the defender, he couldn't stop the ball from rolling into the goal!

Tottenham took the lead before half-time!

Tottenham fans, who have been booing West Bromwich Albion, can finally cheer to their heart's content!

This is obviously a huge blow for the West Bromwich Albion team!

The players were all dejected as they entered the dressing room at half-time.

At the start of the second half, West Bromwich Albion unleashed a wave of attacks that almost broke the door held by Keller.

As a result, their striker's shot grazed the post and went wide!

This also made the Tottenham fans at the scene gasp!

Seeing this situation, the West Bromwich Albion team, which originally thought that it was backward, would give it a go and play against Tottenham.

Who knew that after this wave of scrambles, they started to defend again, just sending two or three players in the front court to force Tottenham's inverted feet!

It was clearly a good move and showed the tactical skills of their coach Smith. Tottenham have civilized the Premier League with a frenzied attack this season, and with half time to go and only one goal ahead, Tottenham have to continue attacking even for the sake of the home fans.

Even if Tottenham can put down their feet at the back, their players may be able to press their chances up front!

Hoddle didn't care about his opponent's tactics, and he motioned for his players to continue attacking.

This is also more in line with the West Bromwich Albion team's thinking, as long as Tottenham attack, they will have more opportunities to counter-attack!

But their wishful thinking is obviously wrong, although Tottenham continue to attack, but their attack is not blind, in the absence of opportunities, they will just patiently look for opportunities in the midfield!

When you find a good opportunity, you will launch a real attack!

In this way, there are naturally not many opportunities left for the West Bromwich Albion team to counterattack.

Being so surrounded by Tottenham Hotspur that even the West Bromwich Albion players, who had made up their minds to defend at the beginning, couldn't stand it anymore and were obviously impatient.

Their defensive moves have increased significantly, and fouls have started to increase.

At first, their foul positions were still 40 meters away, and they could not pose much threat to them, until the 28th minute of the second half, when they committed a foul less than 30 meters away from the edge of the penalty area, but the stands of White Hart Lane resounded with cheers from Tottenham fans!

When the offender saw Chen Xi holding the ball and preparing to take the ball, he seemed to realize that he had made a big mistake.

You must know that Chen Xi is the player who has scored the most free kicks in the Premier League this season, even surpassing the free kick master David Beckham and the veteran Zola!

Chen Xi, who has been looking for an opportunity, obviously also found an opportunity to give the West Bromwich Albion team a fatal blow!

I saw him set the ball, and after a long run, his right foot hit the ball heavily!

The ball kicked by Chen Xi barely had any spin, but rushed past the human wall at a very fast speed, and then fell sharply, straight into the lower left corner of the goal!

Although West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Holt was fully prepared and focused, he was still powerless in the face of Chen Xi's powerful and strange free kick!

The ball goes straight to the bottom of the net, 2-0! Tottenham basically sealed the win!

The enthusiasm of the Tottenham Hotspur fans also exploded further, and they shouted Chen Xi's name loudly! In their eyes, Chen Xi is an omnipotent god, who can always lead the team forward at a critical time!

Although there were nearly 20 minutes left in the game, the two-goal deficit left West Bromwich Albion demoralized and unmotivated.

Tottenham didn't beat the Reservoir Dogs either, and the score remained 2-0 until the end!

Not only did this win give Tottenham three valuable points, but it also gave a warning to all teams that are ready to defend heavily against Tottenham!

That is, Tottenham are not afraid of dense defense, because they have Chen Xi, a natural nemesis of dense defense!
