211 Premier League top scorer in a single season
In the face of Chen Xi's goal, the Manchester United players looked a little helpless, after all, their backline today was not very neat, and they did not expect to be able to completely watch Chen Xi.
You know, even when the team was full of lineups before, this guy didn't cause them a lot of problems.
At the same time, Manchester United do not want to give up on winning the game, although they can enjoy the title at home if they win the next league round. However, they have not been able to take advantage of Tottenham in their previous two meetings this season, and they do not want to miss the last chance to play against Tottenham this season.
Maybe Chen Xi will transfer next season, and then he won't be able to enjoy the thrill of revenge if he wins against Tottenham.
So, in the next game, Manchester United launched wave after wave of attacks!
After Chen Xi's goal, in Manchester United's first attack, Ryan Giggs formed a continuous breakthrough on the left flank.
After passing Simon Davis and Redknapp in a row, Giggs also dribbled to the middle like Chen Xi just now!
However, he didn't choose to shoot directly, but knocked the ball to Scholes in the middle!
Scholes received the ball and looked like he was about to shoot, and after attracting Friend Defence, he flicked to the right and shook Friend away.
Just as he picked up his right foot again, Gardner pounced again.
Scholes flicked the ball to the right side once, shaking off the reckless young man, and this time, there was finally no defense in front of him, and he picked up his right foot directly!
The ball was powerful and heavy, but unfortunately the angle was a little right, and it was knocked out of the penalty area by Keller's double fists in excellent position.
A few minutes later, United were awarded another free-kick from around 30 yards from goal.
This is clearly within Beckham's range, and United fans have their eyes on Beckham with anticipation. You must know that the heartthrob came off the bench to score a brilliant free-kick against Real Madrid last week.
David Beckham's free-kick made a beautiful arc in the air, went around the wall and into the near corner of the goal!
The ball looked like it was about to fly into the goal, but Keller hit the ball halfway through the way and hit the ball with a perfect side pounce, and finally the ball hit the outside of the post and bounced off the bottom line!
"Brilliant save! Keller is trying to keep the gates open! ”
Tottenham fans in the stands also gave their own applause for Keller's save.
Beckham covered his face in disbelief, originally as soon as the ball came out, he felt it, and the quality was very high, but he didn't want to be saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.
At the thought of the possibility of leaving the Red Devils this season, where he had played for more than a decade, Beckham was sad and hoped that he would leave too much for the club, such as scoring goals, such as the title.
was almost shot by Xiao Beiyan~, Chen Xi naturally wanted to fight back in time.
In the ensuing attack, he broke through the bag of the two fierce men of Bart and Brown as if he were strolling, and once again hit the middle.
didn't give the opponent a chance to make up for the defense, Chen Xi directly picked up his right foot and volleyed vigorously!
The ball flew straight into the near corner of the net at breakneck speed, but Manchester United's Carroll also made a world-class save to keep Chen Xi's shot straight into the corner.
Since this guy was able to be poached from the third division by Ferguson, it seems that he still has some ability.
Soon, Manchester United also exchanged Tottenham for a brilliant long-range shot.
This time it was Manchester United left-wing Ryan Giggs who completed the shot, and he did not face much more resistance on the left side than Chen Xi, as a veritable first left midfielder in the Premier League, Giggs naturally did not want to be left behind before his juniors.
He also managed to break through the pack between Redknapp and Karl and make his way to the middle.
After the breakthrough was successful, Giggs picked up his right foot, which he was not very good at, and slammed the ball towards the goal.
His shot was just as powerful as Scholes's previous shot, but it wasn't angled, which gave Keller another chance to perform, and the American goalkeeper flew sideways to scoop the ball off the crossbar.
The back-and-forth offensive battle between the two sides made the fans in the stands addicted.
In fact, there was not much utilitarianism in this game, although Tottenham wanted to stop Manchester United and let them delay the title, but even if they did not succeed, they would not be good. Although Manchester United wants to win the championship two rounds in advance, even if they lose this game, they will only win the championship one round later, after all, the opponent in the next game Charlton Athletic is a team that has no desire.
In this context, the two teams are able to give the fans the purest football!
Halfway through the first half, United played another brilliant team game.
After a few passes at the back, the ball found its way to David Beckham on the right side of the pitch.
Beckham didn't look for a breakthrough when he got the ball, but knocked it to Scholes, who was plugged in the middle.
Scholes didn't stop the ball in the face of Beckham's pass and knocked the ball straight to Ruud van Nistelrooy, who retreated into the box.
Ruud van Nistelrooy received the ball and forced a turn, looking like he was about to shoot, but he actually knocked the ball across to his striker partner Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer saw Ruud van Nistelrooy's high-speed cut-in, so he didn't stop the ball and stuffed it straight into the box.
A wonderful two-over-two combination!
Ruud van Nistelrooy had already shaken off Ridley King's defence by this time, and he was already a one-man when he caught up with the ball.
Facing the attacking Keller, the king of the penalty area ...... in the simplest way Push the hand to the far corner!
"The ball is in! Van Nistelrooy! Manchester United equalised with a brilliant team combination! It was Ruud van Nistelrooy's 25th goal of the season. If it weren't for the magical Edison, the Dutch goalscorer would probably still be fighting with Henry for the league scorer king at this time! ”
For Ruud van Nistelrooy's goal, the few Manchester United fans on the scene were also excited.
Ferguson, who was on the sidelines, also left his seat with a smile, he still hoped that the team could win this game and win the championship early. He's also a stubborn old man, and the stronger Tottenham Hotspur plays, the more he wants to win this game!
Manchester United, who have equalised the score, also see hope of winning and then winning the title early.
Therefore, after the resumption of the game, Manchester United's attack is still strong.
Chen Xi and his teammates obviously will not allow Manchester United players to go wild in White Hart Lane, and they have not forgotten the goal before the game, which is to prevent Manchester United from winning the championship in White Hart Lane in advance!
Before the end of the first half, Tottenham also played a wonderful team play up front.
After Dribbling down the right flank and moving near the box, Simon Davies knocked the ball across to the edge of the box.
Redknapp, who was following him, picked up his feet and was ready to shoot from distance, but after looking at the dense Manchester United penalty area, he changed his mind and rubbed the ball to the right instead!
Chen Xi had already shaken off Brown's defense at high speed at this time, and after catching up with the ball, he directly swept the ball to the middle of the penalty area!
The ball is so fast that anyone who touches it can score it!
Morientes at the front point failed to grab the landing point under the interference of Ferdinand, and the ball flew to the back point!
Robbie Keane is already outflanked in place, and O'Shea behind him is using eighteen martial arts to organize Robbie Keane's shooting.
In the end, Robbie Keane was finally unsteady by O'Shea's tossed center of gravity and fell headlong in the box.
Shh
"Red card! Give that guy a red card! It was a deliberate foul! ”
"Red card plus penalty! There is no doubt about it! ”
…… The invective of the home fans resounded in the stands of White Hart Lane.
The referee also saw O'Shea's movements, so he decisively rushed into the box and pointed to the white dot twelve yards from the goal.
"Penalty! The referee awarded a penalty! ”
However, for the foul O'Shea, the referee may have considered that he didn't want to make the game lose suspense too early, he just gave a yellow card!
After the referee awarded the penalty, there was a huge cheer from the stands as they thought they were about to witness history.
Obviously, Tottenham fans want Chen Xi to take the penalty, which will bring his Premier League goal tally this season to 35, and in doing so, he will break the records of Alan Shearer and Andy Cole and become the Premier League's top scorer in a single season!
"It's an opportunity, and if Edison scores this penalty, he's going to make history!"
After falling to the ground, Robbie Keane was also very excited, and he rushed directly to Chen Xi with the ball.
"Edison, get in and you'll break the record!" Robbie Keane handed the ball to Chen Xi and said happily, as if he was about to break the record!
"Kick it off, Edison!" Redknapp, as the captain, also walked over and said, for this Chen Xi, he appreciated it very much.
Just when everyone in the White Hart Lane stadium thought that Chen Xi was about to take the penalty, Chen Xi made an unexpected move.
I saw him push the ball back in Robbie Keane's hand, and said seriously: "Robbie, you created this penalty, or you took the penalty yourself!" ”
"Hey, buddy! Don't come with me, let's share what you and me, I haven't received any assists from you this season! Robbie Keane thought it was Chen Xi who was polite to him, so he said with a smile.
"That's not what I meant, Robbie! I just didn't want my record-breaking goal to be a penalty! You punish it, there will be a chance later! Chen Xi said a little stubbornly, and after speaking, he walked out of the forbidden area!
At this time, only Robbie Keane, who was holding the ball, stood there a little overwhelmed.
"Well, Robbie, go take this ball yourself! This is perhaps Edison's principle! Redknapp knew Chen Xi's surname better, so he said to Robbie Keane.
Indeed, Chen Xi has a habit of not punishing penalties created by others. So, this season's goal is basically a goal in the open field, a free-kick from outside the box.
Of course, there is an exception. That is, when it is a critical time, when the team gets the decisive penalty, and his teammates dare not bear this pressure, Chen Xi will choose to take the penalty created by others!
To some extent, Chen Xi is such an incomprehensible paranoid!
In this way, Chen Xi, who was expected by the Tottenham fans in the audience, did not appear in front of the penalty spot, and it was Robbie Keane who created the penalty kick who took the penalty!
"Oh~~~ Oh my God! I read that right! Edison actually turned down the penalty! In other words, he turned down an opportunity to easily break the Premier League's single-season scoring record! ”
In the stands of White Hart Lane, in front of TVs around the world, all Chen Xi fans were waiting to witness the record, but Chen Xi released their pigeons!
The turmoil did not affect Robbie Keane, who took the penalty, and as a goalscorer, he naturally would not let go of such an easy opportunity to score from a penalty.
His penalty went straight into the bottom left corner of the goal, but Carol in front of goal pounced on the other side!
"The ball went in!! Robbie Keane!! Although we couldn't see Edison break the record, Tottenham took the lead with this penalty opportunity! ”
After the goal, Robbie Keane still showed his 100-year-old celebration, and Chen Xi also joined the attack, and his mood did not seem to be affected in any way. What a scary calm guy!
At this time, Tottenham fans also forgot about the so-called record problem for the time being, and happily celebrated the goal of Tottenham. After all, they've now regained the lead. If that score is held up until the end, the United will have to leave White Hart Lane in disgrace instead of celebrating their damn title here!
Yes, no Tottenham fan would be willing to watch someone celebrate on their home turf!
In the final minutes of the first half, the score could not change again as Tottenham entered the dressing room with a 2-1 lead.
In the dressing room at half-time, Ferguson inevitably turned on his high-powered hair dryer to spray the Red Devils' stars.
In another dressing room, the Tottenham players were discussing the scene where Chen Xi had just conceded a penalty.
When Chen Xi said the reason, his teammates were speechless for a while.
No penalty for a penalty created by someone else! This habit is really a bit of a pretense!
However, when I think of Chen Xi, even if he has not taken a penalty kick this season, he has scored so many goals, and at the same time, he still hopes to break the season goal record in the league and the League Cup. Everyone was relieved again. This guy is a pervert, and he does have the capital to pretend to be forced!
Hoddle later reiterated the goal of the game, which was to prevent Manchester United from winning the title, but he also told the players not to fight too hard to avoid injury, after all, there are still two titles waiting for them to win!
Chen Xi and his teammates also nodded understandingly, they naturally didn't want to miss the next two finals!
In the second half of the game, the two teams fought again, and the Manchester United players who were scolded by Lord Fu in the midfield launched a ferocious attack on the hinterland of Tottenham as soon as the game began!
Even Beckham, who is not good at passing in the impression of fans, staged a good show on the right side to connect two people, but unfortunately his cross was finally destroyed by Gardner first!
For the next 10 minutes, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Ruud van Nistelrooy fired from outside the box.
It's a pity that their shot either missed the goal or was blocked by Tottenham goalkeeper Keller!
Tottenham Hotspur was not completely passive, and about a third of the way through the second half, Chen Xi's successive breakthroughs on the left side tore apart Manchester United's right side of the defense.
It's a pity that his final cross was put in the stands by Morientes!
Halfway through the second half, United had a good chance to equalise!
Tottenham's attack was cut off, and Scholes sent a long ball directly to the front of the right!
Beckham is not at a loss in the speed contest with Tarico, although the heartthrob is not known for his speed, but as a wide player, his speed is naturally not much slower!
Beckham, who was already a few positions ahead, got the ball first without any suspense, and after receiving the ball, he didn't give Tarico a chance to defend it, and directly hit a cross to the middle!
The ball made a wonderful arc in the air, bypassing Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ledley King at the front and coming to the back post!
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who had been plugging in at high speed, successfully received the ball, but unfortunately he stopped the ball and did not handle it well, and was chased by Gardner behind him!
After staggering into the box, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fired a low shot into the far corner!
Keller in front of the goal was already ready, and in the face of the Norwegian's shot that was not big this time, he fell to the ground and pounced on the side, and fished the ball out of the bottom line!
This made Ferguson on the sidelines depressed, originally he thought that this counterattack would be successful!
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who missed the opportunity, was also depressed, he knew that if he had stopped the ball just now, Gardner behind him would have no chance at all, and his next shot would be much easier.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and the Manchester United team that wasted the opportunity was quickly punished!
In the seventy-sixth minute of the game, Chen Xi received the ball near the corner of the penalty area on the left side!
He still has Bart and Brown by his side, even in the face of the two, Chen Xi still leisurely stepped on the bicycle!
His approach was obviously to record two defensive players, but just when they were a little impatient, Chen Xi moved!
I saw Chen Xi flick the ball forward with his right foot, as if he was about to break through in the direction of the bottom line, but the ball had just been kicked out, but it was blocked back by his left foot!
In just such a time, Chen Xi showed that he shook off Bart on the right side, and then passed through the small gap between the two before Brown blocked it.
"Beautiful! Edison performed his magic trick for us again, and he broke through the bag between the two in the blink of an eye! ”
After breaking through the defense of the two, Chen Xi has already entered the penalty area!
In the face of this dangerous element, Ferdinand could only put down Morientes and make up for him!
The world's most expensive central defender came to make up for it, but Chen Xi still had no fear. He didn't wait for the Englishman to post it, he accelerated directly towards the baseline, and then after catching up with the ball, the outside of his right toe stabbed the ball towards the goal!
Chen Xi's movements were very fast, Ferdinand didn't have time to keep up with his footsteps, and Carol in front of the goal didn't realize that Chen Xi actually shot.
Knowing that the ball was rolling towards the goal at a very fast speed, Carroll subconsciously made a save. By this time, it was obviously a little late, and the ball got under his armpit and into the goal!
“what~a~goooooooooooooal!!! Edison ~~~~~~~ Chen !! A brilliant toe stab not only sealed the win for Tottenham, but also Chen Xi's 35th league goal of the season, meaning he successfully broke the records of Andy Cole and Alan Shearer to become the Premier League's all-time top scorer in a single season!! ”
Boom~~~ The stands of White Deer Lane also instantly erupted in a tsunami-like cheer. At this time, they seemed to suddenly understand Chen Xi's practice of giving up that penalty just now, because such a wonderful goal to break the record can obviously bring them greater enjoyment!
Even Hoddle, who didn't care much about the outcome of the game, couldn't help but rush to the sidelines for Chen Xi's goal!
Chen Xi, who scored the goal, rushed to the stands excitedly, he took off his jersey and rushed to the billboard!
The huge number "35" on the white vest and the small print "Salute to Shearer and Cole" on the line below are so eye-catching!
"Shooter King! Shooter King! Shooter King! ”
The stands resounded with the neat cries of Tottenham fans, obviously, in their eyes, Chen Xi is a veritable top scorer, not only this season, but also the entire history of the Premier League!
Chen Xi also enjoyed the cheers of White Hart Lane very much, because he knew very well that there might not be many opportunities for him to stay here and play!
Soon, Chen Xi's teammates frantically surrounded him!
Chen Xi, like a god at this time, is accepting the worship of the entire White Deer Lane!
Even the players of the opponent Manchester United have to admit that the young man in front of him is too tough, and with ten minutes left in the game, the idea of Manchester United players winning the championship in advance has also been put out of their minds, after all, they need to score three goals in the last ten minutes to ensure three points, which is too difficult!
The celebration lasted for nearly two minutes before the referee intervened in the penalty area and ended the celebration.
In the final ten minutes, Manchester United continued to try to attack.
Although they pulled a goal back from distance before the end of the game through Paul Scholes, they could not avoid the result of the loss.
3-2, Tottenham managed to win Manchester United at home, and the news of Arsenal's victory over Bolton Wanderers came from another stadium, and Manchester United's victory celebration had to be postponed to the next round!
