Chapter 219: Wonderful Battle (3)

After the restart, Tottenham's tactics did not make any changes because of the lead, and it seems that the new manager Jacques Hotspur has not made any changes to the game. Mr. Santini still has a lot of confidence in the team, and the same is true for Chelsea, Mourinho thinks that the goal just now does not mean anything, in this kind of attacking battle, there are always goals, but the opponent is a little bit more lucky.

In fact, when the game resumed, the two sides began to compete again in terms of attacking ability, but at this time, the difference in the tactical thinking of the managers of the two teams was reflected in the details of the game.

As the best manager of last season's treble, Mr. Mourinho has always adhered to the idea of focusing on defense, 'defense is the only way to win', which is what he has always emphasized in the team, so Chelsea's midfielders and backfield players want to get the starting position and be recognized by the Portuguese, and the defensive ability is the most fundamental and fundamental, such as the team's main Claude. Makellele, Frank. Frank Lampard, Thiago, who has just joined the team this season. Mendes, Ricardo. Carvalho and others, their individual abilities are more defensive than others.

In the current Chelsea team, it is difficult to get the attention of manager Jose Mourinho with slightly weaker defensive midfielders and backfielders, although they are valuable and very good, they are still a supplement to the Portuguese tactics, such as Robert. Hutter, Damien. Duff et al. Of course, among them Joe. Cole is an exception, but he's playing more as a guest striker.

After falling behind by one point, the Chelsea team still maintained the original attacking range without hurrying, and did not attack aggressively because of the lag. While defender Ricardo. Carvalho also often stepped forward to assist the assists, but captain Claude Makelele was sure to keep the other defenders near the halfway line to prevent Tottenham from coming back after the ball was broken.

In Jacques. Mr. Santini's tactical thinking is more about attacking and defending, and the Frenchman is trying to put that in the blood of Tottenham, just as he did in Ligue 1 with Lyon.

However, it is clear that Mr. Santini has been in the team for too short and his tactical philosophy has not yet been fully embraced by the team, with the Tottenham players only understanding half of it, yes, only half of it. Tottenham Hotspur were originally an attacking team, and when Mr. Santini arrived in London, his attacking thinking was quickly 'completely' understood by the team. Under Santini's tutelage, Tottenham's attack has become more versatile and the means to produce goals have been more abundant.

All-offense and all-defense tactics, generally in the defense of this tactic, it is more about using the full-court pressing method to achieve the goal. And now on the field, Tottenham Hotspur is more 'all-in', but the defense is becoming more and more slack, and after the players attack, in the Chelsea team's counterattack, they do not participate in the defense, of course, sometimes because some players attack too forward, but more because of an alternative thinking - wait for teammates to break the ball, and then continue to attack.

Perhaps this would make the team's attack more threatening, but it would not hide the great danger involved, and Tottenham Hotspur were quick to pay the price.

In the 41st minute of the game, Tottenham's No. 32 striker John Hotspur. Czechsen made a one-two with striker Canute on the right and the ball was cut off by Thiago midway through, who passed the ball directly to captain Claude. Makellele. After Makelele won the ball, he passed to Gremi next to him without thinking, and for the former, it was safer to leave the attack to his teammates, even if Gremi was only a substitute for the team.

At present, only Geremi, Claude Makelele and Mendes are the only ones in the Chelsea team's midfield, and it is clear that only Geremy has the strongest attacking outlook of the three. So when Geremi got the ball, he didn't choose to make a short pass, but looked up at the front, and then drove the ball to the left with a big foot.

On the left, Altyn. Robben was unguarded, and although Grammie's pass was not very accurate, Robben ran to the landing point easily, unloaded the ball, and waited for him to take two more steps forward before encountering a Tottenham defender to grab the ball.

After seeing the dribbling ability of this Dutch star, the Tottenham defender may have been a little worried that Robben would use his speed to eat him, so he has been standing about a meter away from Robben and pushing his offensive line to prevent Robben's sudden start. However, this time Robben did not choose to break through with the ball, and in the quick counter-attack, this approach was obviously a waste of time, and in the consternation of the defender, Robben pushed the ball to the right with a kick.

In the middle of the lane, Mutu interjected!

At this time, the ball has reached the front of the penalty line, even if Tottenham's defense is not good, but it feels irrational to break through from this position. Mutu, who had been 'sleepwalking' all the time, seemed to be a little more awake now, he didn't waste time, and passed the ball to Wang Li on the right side.

After Wang Li got the ball, he looked at the situation in the penalty area: Tottenham had two defenders in the big penalty area, and on the right side, in front of him, Jin Zheng was going to come over and steal, on the left side, Robben was running towards the penalty area, followed by a defender, and after Mutu passed the ball, he stood on the line of the big penalty area, as if he was going to step forward.

There is no room for much consideration in the game, and when Wang Li is still thinking, Ridley on the right side. Jin has already posted it, the main defender of the England team, already knows a little about Wang Li, when Jin ran to Wang Li's side, he planned to stick to him, not to let Wang Li easily kick, Jin will not recklessly stretch out his foot to break the ball, so the result will definitely be easily shaken.

However, in the next moment, the choice of the black-haired kid in front of him still surprised Jin Da!

Passing, Wang Li chose to pass!!

Ridley. Jin couldn't figure out when the black-haired kid in front of him had developed the ability to pass accurate through balls. …… This ability is really something that can be learned through practice!?

Under the gaze of everyone in the field, the black-haired boy in the field looked up at the penalty area after receiving the ball, and then made a forward breakthrough action, but his right foot kicked directly behind the football, and the ball passed through the left side of Kim, stuck to the turf, and flew towards the penalty area.

At this time, there are only two defenders in the Tottenham Hotspur penalty area, and one of them is still watching the 'sleepwalking' Mutu on the sideline, even if Mutu's performance is not good, but at this time, Tottenham Hotspur will not give up defending him. Another player was also looking in the direction of the right side, but Wang Li's pass was too unexpected, coupled with the speed of flying against the turf, the defender did not react at all, and when he subconsciously stretched out his foot to intercept, the ball had already flown into the penalty area from the left side of his body!!

Altun. Robben!

Robben's pace was so fast that by this time, he had already rushed into the box from the left. Wang Li's pass is really just right, when the ball flies to the middle of the penalty area, the speed has slowed down, and it just rolls in front of Robben, in the face of this comfortable pass, Robben has to do is to push the ball into the goal - the football is pushed by Robben's left foot, change direction and fly towards the right corner of the goal!!

Paul. Robinson could only look at the ball and sigh - a shot of this speed, unless there is a prediction, the goalkeeper is unlikely to react.

“gooooooooooooooal!! Robben, Altyn. Robben! The Dutchman scored the equaliser for Chelsea! However, most of the goals this time are due to Allen who passed the ball, let's take a look at the big camera replay ......, this long-distance straight stopper, flying past two Tottenham players, the speed is really fast, sure enough, it is Allen, who can always surprise us!! ”

After the goal, Robben was very excited, he wiped the raindrops on his face with his soaked jersey, and then gave Wang Li a warm hug. However, Wang Li doesn't feel very good, anyone who is embraced by such a man who is soaked in sweat and rain will not feel too good...... Seeing the team score, the head coach on the bench, Mr. Mourinho, also smiled with satisfaction, he is still very optimistic about Robben as a player, fast speed, good body, coupled with accurate passing ability, although Robben's personal skills are not very outstanding, but the above points are enough to make him a top player.

Mourinho is still very satisfied with the 2-2 draw in the first half with the direct confrontation with Tottenham Hotspur with this substitute lineup, he has prepared the tactics for the second half, and he believes that after the change of formation in the second half, the team will definitely be able to win easily.

When the game restarted, it was the 44th minute of the game, and most of the players were already waiting for the whistle to be over, and after 45 minutes of confrontation, they wanted to rest for a while.

Tottenham kick off and Canute kicked the ball past his team-mate and ran towards Chelsea. After Defoe got the ball, he turned and kicked Redknapp in the back, and then ran towards the front court.

At this time, the fourth official on the sidelines also held up the stoppage time card, with a red '2' on it, telling the players to have two minutes of stoppage time in the first half.

Tottenham Hotspur at the back.

Naibet kicked the ball to Ifil, who passed to Edman, who in turn kicked to Ledley. King, who kicked the ball back ......, and the Spurs players were still on the back of their feet, seemingly intent on using the pass from the back to kill the time.

At this time, what he didn't notice unconsciously was that Wang Li was only two meters away from the opponent's defender Edman, and he pretended not to care and watched the ball roll around in the backfield, but in fact, he hid himself like a cheetah and waited for the perfect opportunity to explode!

In another pass, Sean. Davis passed the ball diagonally to Edelman......... Wang Li suddenly started, rushed straight towards the ball with 'Lingbo microstep', and stopped the ball directly in front of Edman!!

Dangerous!

By the time Tottenham Hotspur's defenders realised this, it was too late, how fast was the newly launched Cheetah? After Wang Li grabbed the ball on the outside of the penalty area, he directly dodged and took the ball into the penalty area, and Edelman next to him could only follow him to eat dust...... Paul. Robinson struck, and as England's backup goalkeeper, he had a headache at the thought of the brunette kid in front of him, but he could only rush out.

Thankfully, Wang Li took good care of Paul, and instead of opting for the most horrific volley, he completed the attack with a light high lob and helped Chelsea score the goal that led to the game.
