Chapter 192: High-Speed Duel

"Toot!"

Webb's whistle blew, and the second leg of the League Cup semi-finals officially began, and the third north London derby of the season!

Tottenham kicked the ball first and the ball was quickly at the feet of Luka Modric.

With the rise of Tottenham's results, Lao Lei's position is stable, and Modric's position is unshakable.

And the Croats have also proved with their performance that they are qualified to be their command tower, commander.

At this time, Tottenham Hotspur is different from the previous two north London derby, they have the backbone, and there is no random fight.

Under Luka Modric's guidance, Tottenham had a threatening attack in the third minute.

Ramsey and Nasri made a mistake and the ball was picked up by Jenas, and the Englishman handed the ball to Modric as soon as possible.

The Croatian took two steps across the board and didn't get tangled with the Arsenal players, flicking the outside of his left foot and the ball quickly through the midfield and into Sagna's back.

With a frequency conversion under his feet, Palacios, who has just joined Tottenham, is like a tiger, strong but fast.

Sania didn't follow the first step, trying to suppress the other party, but he couldn't resist him and was eaten alive.

Palacios took advantage of the situation and quickly cut into the penalty area, Galla had to press out, and at this moment, Xiang Hao had to retreat to fill the position of central defender.

At this time, the Honduran suddenly lost his speed, and instead of choosing to pass Gala, he took advantage of the situation and pushed with the arch of his left foot.

Outside the Big Forbidden Zone!

Instead of cutting inside and volleying in, or with a low cross, he played an inverted triangle.

Modric waved his hand and signaled to this side, and his teammates found him.

Facing the ball, Modric followed!

"It's dangerous, Modric has a world wave!"

"This spot is empty!"

"Arsenal is coming back slowly, Hao is too deep!"

In the exclamations of countless people, Modric took off his right foot and slammed his left foot, "Bang! ”

"Whew~~~"

The audience gasped.

"This ball missed, it's a pity, the power is really great."

"It's a little bit worse, it's a little bit worse, it's a pity."

'Tottenham won a corner and Modric should have taken the penalty.

"This ball, fortunately, Hao came out fast enough, and blocked it with his foot, otherwise it would have been picked up, and Almunia would have been hard to say."

"It's also dangerous, it's hard for Almunia to make a move on this line."

All the live broadcast rooms felt sorry for Modric's ball, just when the Croatians shot from a distance, Xiang Hao blocked it in the middle, causing the ball to refract and slightly higher than the crossbar, which also shocked all the cold sweat.

Modric waved his hand a little unwillingly, glanced at Xiang Hao, and regretted the corner kick in the past.

Tottenham's attack is not over.

"Smack!"

The ball arced and spun towards the Arsenal penalty area, with a big face beyond the ordinary.

Woodgate, who was once the hope of England's defense and was valued by Real Madrid, has now been injured and is about to become a middle-aged uncle.

However, as he gets older, he has more experience and experience, and he intends to go between Galla and Toure, and he is a solid throw.

"Oh~~~"

"Damn, the Arsenal guys are so lucky."

"God, scare me to death, scare me to death."

Almost rubbing against the crossbar, the ball flew out, the spurs fans were frustrated, and the Arsenal fans were lucky.

Woodgate patted his head, feeling frustrated at his mistake.

Under the camera, Wenger had a solemn expression, and the language of the camera was self-evident, dissatisfied with Arsenal's entire defense this time.

Tottenham's attack can be regarded as giving Arsenal a dismount, telling the Arsenal players that they are here to smash the field, and they are definitely capable of smashing this field.

How could it be so easy for Arsenal players to let Tottenham Hotspur go wild on their own turf.

Soon, they organized an offensive and responded.

This time it was also in the midfield, but it was replaced, and it was replaced by Xiang Hao, which was also a steal and a delivery.

In the sixth minute of the game, Jenas tried to pass Arsenal's midfield like Modric, but he faced Xiang Hao, not Nasri.

Tall and long-legged, when Jenas pulled the ball and changed direction, Xiang Hao grabbed the defense, pressed the opponent, followed the trend, and made another steal.

Saving the ball from the feet of Jenas, Xiang Hao did not rush forward like in the previous game, because he is now sitting in the middle and back, and it is Ramsey who charges into the field.

After the power ran over Janas, Xiang Hao looked at the situation on the field, his long legs flung to the left, his slender body was extremely chic, and at the same time, this long pass was also extremely clean and accurate.

Tottenham's attack was also launched on the left side, and most of their energy was also focused on this side, while on the right side, they were on the offensive end and did not convert attack and defense in time, which allowed Xiang Hao to seize the opportunity.

Bella chested a little, took advantage of the situation, and lightly picked it in front of Joel Luca, instantly accelerated, and passed the other party.

Lennon wants to block Bella, just kidding, in the Arsenal team, Bella's speed is not inferior to Walcott.

He was two more positions ahead, and even if the distance was getting closer, it was enough for Bella to get into the box.

Woodgate had to block out, forcing Bella to stop.

In fact, Vela also stopped because two of his team members had arrived, especially his good friend Bendtner, who was standing in the box like a telephone pole and fired a high cross.

Like an uncontrolled tank, Bendtner threw himself out and rushed out of Dawson's pull, "Bang! ”

The top of his head was firmly pressed against the ball, and he pierced the goal like a sharp arrow.

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, the longitudinal ball shifted laterally.

In the process of the ball's flight, a big hand cut through the clouds like a mountain, blocking all this.

Cudicini was not a dry eater, he stood in the right position, and at the same time he was not slow to react, almost subconsciously reaching out to complete the save.

"Well done, Carllo!"

"Carllow, well done!"

It was a perfect save from close range that drew a roar from the Tottenham fans as if they had scored a goal.

On the Arsenal side, the fans regretted not mentioning it, and Bendtner angrily hammered the turf and burst an F-word.

But no matter how angry he was, the game had to go on, and with almost full time left, Bendtner wasn't upset, and it was only the sixth minute.

The six-minute game says a lot.

Lao Lei tried to take advantage of Arsenal's mistakes to counterattack at high speed, and hit the key point with one shot, and Arsenal was not like this, Wenger demanded that his players must score as soon as possible, and what was needed was also Tottenham's mistakes to bring the game to the temporary.

So this game also fits the definition of a north London derby, high tempo, it depends on whether it can be high-scored.

And the current Tottenham is no longer the Tottenham of previous years, and Arsenal is also not the previous Arsenal, which has the absolute strength to crush the opponent.

The strength changes up and down, so they are constantly getting closer, so this kind of rhythm of the game is what many Arsenal fans like and fear.

Like, that rhythm allows Arsenal to play their own attacking game, but the fear is that Tottenham are getting stronger and the stakes are higher, and they don't want to lose to their rivals, especially at home.

They hope that their team can have a few more players like Xiang Hao, so that their team will not only have no problems defensively, but also be equally good offensively.

But this is destined to be disappointing, the definition of genius has always been unique. If there is one more 'Xiang Hao' coming out, Xiang Hao will not be happy, what should he do if he is separated from himself.

In fact, Arsenal fans have nothing to regret, although Ramsey is not as bizarre as Xiang Hao, but he is also very well-rounded, with outstanding technique, excellent awareness and, most importantly, he can run better than others.

Although it is inferior to Xiang Hao, it is still a little better than others.

It was Ramsey's sprint at the expense of physical strength that made Xiang Hao unnecessary to insert too much forward and take more responsibility for direct attack.

And Ramsey is a little better than Xiang Hao, his movement in the box.

Xiang Hao has entered the penalty area before, but it is more of a break in the middle, which is quite direct.

Ramsey, on the other hand, is not, not only able to cut straight in the middle, but also in the ribs, which is also coquettish. This has a lot to do with Ramsey's debut as a winger.

In any case, with Ramsey playing an effective role on the offensive end, Xiang Hao can focus more on defense and take on the role of connecting the upper and lower levels.

And Tottenham has one person who must be defended by Xiang Hao, and that is Modric's.

Similar to Ramsey now, this technique is excellent, the physical fitness is also very good, and he can also enter the penalty area, but his organizational skills are much stronger than Ramsey, and he has an extremely coquettish long-range shot, which can be said to be Tottenham's thigh-shaped player.

Such a player is naturally the object of Xiang Hao's focus on defense, in fact, in the last match, the entanglement of the two people always ran through the entire game, and this time was no exception.

'Damn, this can keep up!' ’

After running a big lap and being pasted up by Xiang Hao again, Modric was annoyed, but no matter how annoyed he was, Modric would not let himself lose his sense of proportion.

With a buckle and a flick, Modric shook off Xiang Hao's entanglement in the shortest possible time, sent the ball out at the same time, and then continued to run again.

This is the tactic that Lao Lei formulated for Modric to avoid Xiang Hao's defense, using the whole to deal with individuals.

The ball was quickly upside down, and Modric himself was running empty, so that even if Modric could not stagger Xiang Hao's marking, it was enough to make Arsenal's defensive position wrong.

As long as the opportunity is right, hand it over to Modric immediately and deal with it again.

It's the same high-tempo operation, the North London derby, it's in this kind of running to the fullest, fighting together.
