Once the game resumed, Chelsea also wanted to emulate Tottenham's post-serve attack. But they failed.

First, they don't have a player like Chen Xi who can destroy the opponent's defense by himself, and secondly, Tottenham Hotspur is also ready and didn't give them such an opportunity!

In the end, the score remained 2-1 until the end of the first half. Tottenham went into the dressing room with a one-goal lead!

In the dressing room, Hoddle praised Tottenham's first-half performance. However, he also criticised the lack of concentration at the back and re-emphasised the need to strengthen the team's marking of dangerous Hasselbaink.

In the home team's dressing room, Ranieri, a seemingly good-tempered little old man, was directly angry at the players. Clearly, he was unhappy with the defensive attitude of the team when they conceded the second goal.

"Is that Chinese kid's corridor on your right? Let him come and go as he pleases? ”

"I've stressed the danger of that guy more than once, but you're still letting him run free. Now you're being punished, aren't you? ”

"Foul! You can't stop that guy, won't you foul it? As long as it's not in the danger zone, it's better for us to give him a set-piece or even a yellow card than to let him pass, right? ”

Ranieri's words caused the Chelsea defenders to bow their heads in shame.

However, they still have some resentment in their hearts. Because in their opinion, the Chinese kid was not as easy to deal with as Ranieri said. Sometimes, even if they made up their minds to foul, Chen Xi's speed didn't give them a chance to foul!

"All in all, I don't care what means you use, I don't want that Chinese kid to be as easy as the first half in the second half! Do you understand? ”

"Understood!"

...... "Okay, welcome back to the TV and join us in the second half of the game. Both teams have returned to the pitch and judging by the situation on the pitch, neither coach has opted to make substitutions in midfield......"

Chen Xi returned to the pitch, and this time he didn't hear the Chelsea fans sing that sarcastic song again. This satisfied him, but he was not satisfied, after all, the game was still half a time to end!

Chen Xi didn't notice that after returning to the field, the Chelsea defenders looked at him with obvious fierceness.

However, after the game officially started, Chen Xi felt the changes in the opponent's defense.

As soon as he gets the ball, the Chelsea players behind him will immediately stick to him, regardless of whether there is any hope of breaking the ball, he always has to kick a few kicks behind him, it is naturally good to be able to kick the ball, if he can't kick the ball, sometimes they even kick directly to Chen Xi's feet.

Although doing this would not hurt Chen Xi, it made Chen Xi feel very uncomfortable.

At best, the referee only awarded Chelsea a foul, which did not affect Chelsea much.

In the face of the opponent's rogue defense, Chen Xi can only reduce the time of possession of the ball, and often choose to hand over the ball to other teammates when there is no good chance after receiving the ball.

Ranieri was very satisfied with this change on the sidelines, and in his opinion, while Chen Xi had less ball, this guy would be much less of a threat to their team.

Tottenham's attacking setbacks have also emboldened Chelsea to step up their attacks, as they are still one goal behind.

Chelsea's two wing-backs, Zenden and Glen Schal, are no longer blindly crossing the ball, but will choose to cut inside from time to time. Either play with Frank Lampard and the two strikers who came in, or simply shoot straight at goal.

In the sixth minute of the second half, Cendon cut inside and directly completed a high-quality long-range shot with his right foot, which he was not very good at!

The heavy ball forced Keller to pounce on the ball, but Gardner broke the ball off the touchline before Gudjohnsen could get there.

Three minutes later, Chelsea were back in action. This time it was Glen Charles on the right who cut to the edge of the box.

After a successful cut-in, the Dane fired a long-range shot that actually slotted the ball across to Frank Lampard, who was cut in behind!

Frank Lampard didn't hesitate to pick up his right leg and slam it down on the ball, which roared towards Tottenham's door!

'Frank Lampard shoots straight from distance......

"Miraculous save!! Kathy Keller! American goalkeeper denied Frank Lampard's brilliant long-range shot! ”

Oh~~~ Sighs of regret from Chelsea fans were heard from the stands at Stamford Bridge.

Ranieri's face on the sidelines was also full of depression. The substitutes who had already risen from their seats had to sit back in a huff.

Lampard also covered his face in disbelief, after the ball was kicked, he still thought that the ball was there, but he didn't want the American to react so quickly!

"Give me focus, don't give them an easy shot!" Rising from the lawn, Keller yelled at his teammates in his American English. He didn't like this hectic situation. The busier he is, the more dangerous the team's goal is!

I watched Chelsea launch threatening attacks on their own goal again and again. Chen Xi was also thinking about what he should do.

In the next wave of attack, Chen Xi chose to forcibly turn around in the face of Petit's dishonest interference behind him after receiving the ball. Petit was still tugging at his jersey behind him, not letting him get rid of him.

Chen Xi did not force an acceleration breakthrough, but after scanning the situation in the front court, he directly hoisted the ball to the Chelsea team's penalty area.

With Chelsea's squad pressed so high, there was a lot of space behind them.

Chen Xi's own movement is a little limited, but he knows that he can still create opportunities for his teammates!

In the face of Chen Xi's long pass, Robbie Keane chose to plug in in time. It's a pity that the speed of Garra is not slow to defend him, and he often plays as a full-back, and he has a clear turning and running speed that is better than that of the average central defender.

In this way, Gara has been dragging behind Robbie Keane, not giving him an easy chance to go alone!

Although Robbie Keane got the ball before Galla, he wasn't very comfortable.

Eventually, after stumbling into the box, he opted to shoot straight at goal.

The moment Robbie Keane shot, Gala gave Robbie Keane a shot in the back. This undoubtedly affected the crosshairs of Robbie Keane's shot, and the ball ended up deflecting off the line!

"Oh~~~ Robbie Keane wasted a great opportunity! Edison's long pass was very accurate. But Robbie Keane couldn't get rid of Garra's entanglement and finally squandered this opportunity! ”

There were also sighs from Tottenham fans in the stands. The Tottenham coaches and substitutes on the sidelines were also excited.

After being annoyed, Robbie Keane didn't forget to applaud Chen Xi, who had just sent him a beautiful pass, and then gave him a thumbs up.

Chen Xi also gave Robbie Keane a smile back, and although the goal was not scored, he taught the Chelsea man a lesson.

Ranieri on the sidelines also suddenly discovered that even if Chen Xi reduced the number of times he sought individual breakthroughs, it still seemed that he could still cause problems for the Chelsea team.

Although Chen Xi's long pass counterattack surprised the Chelsea people, they had to continue to maintain the offensive after falling behind by one goal.

Hasselbaink was also treated similarly to Chen Xi, and every time he got the ball, he would be taken care of by Tottenham defenders, and even turning around was difficult.

However, this Dutchman is not a reckless man, and he, like Chen Xi, decisively chose to create opportunities for his teammates when he encountered key markings!

About a third of the way into the second half, Gudjohnsen picked up the ball and passed it to Hasselbaink.

Hasselbaink turned his back to the goal and did not stop the ball, but directly rubbed the ball into the box, and the ball went over the head of the Tottenham defender into the box!

The Icelandic striker cut in at high speed after passing the ball and as he burst into the box, the ball fell in front of him.

It's a pity that in the face of the incoming ball, Gudjohnsen had some garlic under his feet, and when he adjusted the ball, Gardner, who was defending him, had already caught up and blocked his shot from the bottom line!

Gudjohnsen was annoyed as he made an apologetic gesture towards Hasselbaink. The Dutchman, on the other hand, shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

Just when the Chelsea were still regretting the destruction of a coordination between the "black and white" combination, the two staged an even more wonderful combination!

Petit in the back field launched an attack with a direct long pass, and the ball was passed to the front of the penalty area!

Gudjohnsen stuck his position and gave the ball to Hasselbaink behind him, and he immediately turned and rushed into the penalty area!

In the face of Gudjohnsen's header, Hasselbaink did not choose to stop the ball, but continued to rush forward and then pushed the ball directly into the penalty area!

"Beautiful! It was a one-two header! ”

After the ball crossed Gardner's head, it fell into the penalty area, and Gudjohnsen, who had been inserted just now, did not grind again this time, adjusted his pace, and volleyed his right foot directly into the ball!

The ball bounced off the ground and flew straight to the far corner!

In the face of Gudjohnsen's close-range shot, Keller in front of goal could only subconsciously jump up, spread his hands and feet, and expand his defensive area, hoping to touch the ball.

Unfortunately, Gudjohnsen's shot was just outside of his defensive area and the ball flew into the net from his right side.

"The ball went in!! Goodjohnsen!! It was a perfect combination between two of Chelsea's strikers as their headers tore through the Tottenham defence! The Icelandic striker didn't waste another chance this time and sent the ball into the Tottenham goal! The score is 2-2! Once again, the two teams are back on the same page! ”
