Tottenham Hotspur took the lead in the two-legged tie with a 4-2 win over Parma in the UEFA Cup, a match that attracted the attention of the British media after the game!

"Three musketeers, Tottenham beat Serie A!"

The Guardian focuses on Tottenham's victories in this game: Chen Xi, Morientes and Robbie Keane. They believe that it was thanks to the cooperation of three top attackers that Tottenham Hotspur was able to overcome the mighty Parma team! He also said that Tottenham's "three musketeers" have become the most powerful attacking combination in the Premier League and even in the whole of Europe!

"Tottenham beat Parma at home, and the Premier League is gradually catching up with Serie A!"

The newspaper elevated the match to the elevation of the league between England and Italy. It is believed that the match between Tottenham and Parma is a good proof of the strength of the two leagues, the Premier League and Serie A. And came up with the fact that in recent seasons, Premier League teams have frequently blocked Serie A teams in the European arena. Just to prove one point: the Premier League has gradually completed the catch-up with Serie A, and it is only a matter of time before it becomes the number one league in Europe!

"Contribute six goals together, White Hart Lane will play a goal battle!"

The Post followed the six goals scored by both teams in this game. They believe that both teams are offensive and defensively weak, and both have a group of talented attackers. And said that he will continue to look forward to the second leg of the match between the two teams!

"The supernova is unstoppable, and breaking the team's all-time record is just around the corner!"

The Telegraph is still happy to discuss Chen Xi's record. Although Chen Xi only scored one goal in this game, the author of the article discovered an important reality, that is, Chen Xi is only one step away from Tottenham's single-season personal goal record!

Tottenham's single-season goal record is held by the team's legendary goalscorer Jimmy Greaves. The legendary goalscorer scored 37 goals in the league in the 62-63 season, and with the addition of European competitions and domestic cups, his total tally reached a terrifying 43. Chen Xi has now scored 29 goals in the league, seven in the UEFA Cup, three in the League Cup, plus one in the FA Cup, and he has now scored 40 goals in all competitions, just three goals short of Jimmy Greaves' record. And now that the schedule is only three-quarters of the way through, and Tottenham Hotspur is now moving forward on all fronts, it is only a matter of time before Chen Xi breaks this record!

The Telegraph's report caused an uproar in Britain.

Because most of the media and fans have only noticed Chen Xi's terrifying goal rate of one goal per game in the league. But they didn't notice that he had scored so many goals in the cup as well. Although this is related to the fact that Tottenham Hotspur has encountered opponents in the cup before are generally weak, as a fullback, Chen Xi's scoring ability is still staggering!

Because of this report in The Telegraph, the Spurs hold the record for individual goals in a single season in a single season, and Jimmy Greaves data has also been excavated. The legendary goalscorer, who ranks first in England's top flight and third in England's national team, is a truly efficient goalscorer. He scored 44 goals for the England national team in just 57 games. At the club, his efficiency is even more amazing! With 357 goals in 516 appearances, he has a single-game goal rate of nearly 0.7!

His 220 goals at Tottenham also made him the all-time top scorer for Tottenham!

Such a legendary figure has held a record for more than 40 years, and it looks like it is about to be broken by Chen Xi. This has naturally attracted the attention of many parties!

In addition to Jimmy Greaves, many people have also compared Chen Xi to Manchester United's legendary winger George Best. One of the greatest stars in the history of the Red Devils is also a winger, but he has been the top scorer for Manchester United on several occasions, leaving a total of 179 goals for the Reds!

Obviously, Chen Xi doesn't seem to be doing any worse than the legendary superstar this season! Although Tottenham Hotspur has played a lot more games this season than in the period of George Best, Chen Xi's goal efficiency is still very terrifying!

This also made more media begin to revisit the old things, re-hyping Chen Xi's transfer to Manchester United and becoming the news of the new No. 7 of the Red Devils. In their opinion, Chen Xi, an efficient wing scorer, is obviously the best thing to take over the mantle of George Best!

Regarding the media's approach, Chen Xi seemed very helpless. This matter has just been suppressed, but it has been brought up again. However, he himself did not expect that he would be so close to making history! After all, Jimmy Greaves's age is very long, and Chen Xi naturally has no way of knowing this history!

There are still three goals left to set a team record, and Chen Xi is naturally very excited. After all, it's always a joy to be able to put your name in the history of a club!

As for the Tottenham club, they also seized this opportunity and found Chen Xi to hope that he would renew his contract. Their reasoning is that Chen Xi is about to make history, so why not stay and surpass the team's records for more?

For such a reason, it really made Chen Xi very moved. Playing for a club for a long time and breaking all the records in the club's history seems to be a very exciting thing!

However, Chen Xi still did not give his answer immediately. His reason is still that he wants to concentrate on the game and doesn't want to think about it for the time being.

In fact, he really wants to think about these issues after the season, when he calms down! ――

Tottenham have one more league game ahead of the next leg against Parma. The opponent is the same city team Fulham!

It stands to reason that there is still a crucial battle to be played in a few days, and Hoddle should rotate the main players in this game. However, the fact that the league is now only one point away from the top of the table has made him dare not take the league lightly.

What's more, Fulham had put Hoddle and his Tottenham side to shame in the first half of the season.

In that game, after Tottenham Hotspur took a two-goal lead, the complacent Hoddle once replaced Chen Xi and several other main players off the field in one go, but the Fulham team chased two goals in the second half, and even almost reversed Tottenham.

After that game, Hoddle was criticized by the media. Therefore, in this game, with a bit of selfishness and a desire to win the league, Hoddle still sent many main players including Chen Xi!

He simply replaced Morientes with Sheringham up front to give the Spanish striker a good rest.

With a tight game just played three days ago, the Tottenham players were somewhat tired in this game.

In addition, the Fulham team also sent heavy troops to guard Chen Xi strictly, which made the Tottenham team unable to organize too threatening attacks.

However, Fulham, who are playing away, did not cause much trouble for Tottenham. They put more of their attention on defending, and taking a point away from White Hart Lane is their ultimate goal!

As time goes on, the Fulham team seems to be getting closer and closer to completing the goal!

However, in the 82nd minute of the game, a foul by Junichi Inamoto, a player in the front of the penalty area, made their previous more than 80 minutes of defensive efforts come to naught!

Junichi Inamoto's foul gave Tottenham a direct free kick opportunity of around 28 meters on the left side of the penalty area!

This game has been strictly guarded, and Chen Xi, who is indeed a little tired, finally saw the hope of scoring a goal!

The Tottenham fans in the stands of White Hart Lane were also excited, they had all seen the skill of Chen Xi's free kicks, and his free kicks always helped the team build miracles at critical times. In the eyes of the fans, this time will not be an exception!

At the same time, many fans who have paid attention to the recent media reports are also paying attention to Chen Xi's goal. After all, he is only three goals away from the team's all-time record, and if this goal is scored, it will be only two goals away!

Chen Xi didn't think about it so much at this time, he only knew that the team needed to score their own goals to win this game! Keep biting the Manchester United team in front of you!

After setting the ball, Chen Xi withdrew from a normal distance.

Fulham's Dutch goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar was also fully focused on Chen Xi, who had already denied Tottenham a number of dangerous shots in this game. He didn't want to let his previous efforts go to waste in the last ten minutes!

Beep~~~ The referee's whistle sounded!

Chen Xi also started his dashing run, and the moment the inside of his right foot hit the bottom of the ball, the fans of White Hart Lane began to pray sincerely!

When Chen Xi kicked the ball out, Van der Sar reacted and flew towards the near corner!

Chen Xi's free kick drew an exaggerated arc, and after crossing the human wall, it did fly towards the near corner!

However, Van der Sar was still helpless to find that the ball was not under his control!

Chen Xi's free kick finally flew into the goal at the intersection of the post and the crossbar, which was an absolute dead end!

The moment the ball went into the net, the White Hart Lane court became a sea of joy.

And the Fulham players, who had been trying to defend for more than 80 minutes, fell down!

Chen Xi has once again become the savior of the team!

Although in the last few minutes, the Fulham team frantically mobilized their troops and began to attack. But Tottenham didn't give them a chance!

The score remained 1-0 until the end, with Tottenham picking up the three points as they wished. And Chen Xi is far from the team history record...... One step further!
