"Hello to the audience in front of the TV! Join me for a highlight of the Premier League Round 18 between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal on Sky TV, which we call the north London derby! I'm Paul Mortenson! Paul Mortenson's familiar voice was once again featured on Sky TV's broadcast screen.

"Hi everyone, I'm Martin Taylor!" Paul Mortenson's partner is also still Martin Taylor.

"The two teams met once at Highbury Stadium a month ago. In that game, both teams scored four goals each, and it was a great goal shootout! Among them, the top two scorers on the list, Edison and Henry, scored a hat-trick and scored a brace respectively. This undoubtedly makes fans look forward to this game, and they can once again dedicate a wonderful game to everyone! ”

"A month ago, Tottenham and Arsenal were tied for the top two in the table. But a month later, Arsenal are six points behind Tottenham with two defeats. Tottenham, on the other hand, emerged as the new league leaders. This is a win-only match for both teams. Tottenham need a win to keep their league top spot, while Arsenal need a win to keep their title hopes alive! ”

"Before the game, it was raining in London. Although the rain is not heavy, since it has been raining for nearly three hours in a row, the turf in White Hart Lane will definitely be relatively slippery, which may have a certain impact on the performance of both teams. Especially the Arsenal team, which is known for its smooth coordination, their ground attack may be greatly affected! ”

"Today will also be Arsenal's centre-back Campbell's return to White Hart Lane after a year and a half. The player, who has been dubbed 'traitor' and 'Judas' by Tottenham fans, will undoubtedly face a huge challenge. ”

……

Before the players came out and the game began, the two commentators analyzed the game as usual.

Boom~~~ Suddenly, a huge cheer erupted in the stands!

"Okay, the players from both teams are playing, let's take a look at the starting line-up for this game......"

Tottenham starting line-up (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: Keller

Defenders: Karl, Richards, Ledley King, Tarico

Midfielders: Simon Davis, Redknapp, Flender, Edison Chan

Forwards: Sheringham, Robbie Keane

"Tottenham Hotspur except for Zigger, who was absent due to injury and replaced by Argentine left-back Tarico, the other main players are all on the field."

Arsenal starting line-up (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: Seaman

Defenders: Lauren, Keown, Campbell, Ashley Cole

Midfielders: Ljungberg, Vieira, Gilberto Silva, Pires

Forwards: Bergkamp, Thierry Henry

'Compared to the previous leg, the two veterans of Arsenal's backline, Keane and Seaman, were in the starting line-up. Patrick Vieira missed the last round of the game with a groin injury. In this north London derby, he paid in time, which is obviously good news for the Arsenal team! ”

The players of both teams walked out of the tunnel side by side and onto the pitch.

After the initial cheers, the Tottenham fans booed the Arsenal team with their own enthusiasm. And began their punishment of the "traitor" Campbell.

The lyrics are along the lines of "Campbell, you're a same-name lover!" The song floated in the stands of White Hart Lane.

Some radical fans even directly lit Campbell's poster in their hands.

Such a move was very relieved for many Tottenham fans, but there is no doubt that it will cause huge controversy after the game. After all, their songs already have a bit of a personal attack.

The players on the pitch did not change anything because of what happened in the stands, and they went through a series of pre-match rituals as usual.

When all the ceremonies were over and the players of the two teams returned to their places, Chen Xi, who was doing stretching exercises there, watched the performance of the fans in the stands and couldn't help but have a thought in his heart: If I leave White Hart Lane one day, will they do the same to me?

You must know that Campbell was the captain of the team before he switched to Arsenal, and his reputation among the fans can be seen.

At least, they won't sing for me like they do now, will they? Listening to the "Edison Song" sounding in a nearby stand, Chen Xi thought with some sadness.

Whatever! Now I'm part of Tottenham and I'm a Tottenham! I should help the team beat the Arsenal and win one honour!

If you can't figure it out, you don't bother to think about it. Chen Xi only knew that he should do what was in front of him!

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

After the team kicked off, the ball came to the feet of Chen Xi on the left side. Chen Xi did not take the ball forward by himself, but pulled the ball to his side, and then transferred the ball to the right side with a long pass with his right foot!

"Beautiful long balls, do Tottenham have to play a rush like in the last game?"

Indeed, Hoddle once again set up a strategy of attacking before the game. But Chen Xi knew that he would be closely guarded by his opponent, so he chose to hit the ball to the other side.

Sure enough, there was no one to defend Simon Davis on the right at this time, and after calmly winning the ball, he was ready to seek a breakthrough.

It's just a pity that in direct dialogue with Ashley Cole, the Welshman doesn't have the upper hand. After the breakthrough failed, the ball was passed back by him and turned into a positional attack. Tottenham's scramble failed.

For this, Hoddle on the sidelines didn't care. This kind of thing is a sudden surname, and the success rate of playing often is naturally not so high.

The blocking of the opening attack also seemed to indicate that Tottenham Hotspur will face a much stronger defensive intensity in this game.

Chen Xi on the field quickly felt this, as soon as he passed the front court, a big black man would appear beside him, regardless of whether he had the ball or not.

Frolic! You look up to me too much! Looking at Vieira, who was inseparable from him, Chen Xi thought in his heart.

The guy in front of him is tall, has excellent physical fitness, has both confrontation and flexibility, and is not slow, but he is the number one defensive midfielder in world football today! He was actually sent by Wenger to mark and defend himself!

However, this inspired Chen Xi's fighting spirit...... This guy has always liked to challenge the high!

In the eighth minute, Chen Xi received the ball on the left side of the front, and Vieira was close behind him.

Chen Xi, who faced the incoming ball, knocked the ball to his left side, and then completed the turn, ready to use his speed to break through!

However, as soon as he turned around, Chen Xi felt a huge force, and it turned out that Vieira had quickly pasted up!

The French not only used their strong body to collide with Chen Xi, but also did not idle their hand movements, constantly "groping" on Chen Xi's body. This makes Chen Xi, who has always been accustomed to only taking the initiative to grope for women, very awkward!

Seeing that his first breakthrough failed, Chen Xi started his second breakthrough!

He had been dribbling the ball forward and jumped forward lightly, while the heel of his right foot knocked the ball towards Vieira's left, and then suddenly braked sharply and changed direction!

Feeling Chen Xi's thoughts, Vieira also hurriedly braked, changed direction, and prepared to stick to Chen Xi again.

The slippery field made both of them a little unstable under their feet, but compared with Vieira, who was passively changing, Chen Xi, who actively braked and changed direction, was naturally more prepared.

So Chen Xi temporarily got rid of Vieira's entanglement, but just as he caught up with the ball and was about to accelerate away from Vieira. One foot stabbed the ball away before he did!

"Beautiful defense, Vieira still made a timely tackle when his feet slipped, and ruined Edison's attack!"

Although Vieira failed to poke the ball away this time, it disrupted Chen Xi's rhythm. When Chen Xi regained control of the ball, Vieira had already gotten up.

What a tough guy to deal with! Controlling the ball at his feet, looking at Vieira standing in front of him again, Chen Xi couldn't help but think in his heart.

He was about to look for another angle to break through, but he suddenly caught a glimpse of a white figure rushing towards the penalty area.

Almost subconsciously, Chen Xi took the ball directly with his right foot and hoisted the ball into the penalty area!

"Edison suddenly passed a long ......"

Robbie Keane nimbly got rid of the veteran Keown, inserted into the penalty area, and the ball flew right over Keown's head and towards Robbie Keane!

Seeing that a beautiful anti-offside combination was about to succeed, a guy with pigtails grabbed Robbie Keane before he held the ball in his arms!

"Oh~~~ Seaman made a timely attack to defuse a single chance for Robbie Keane!"

Although Seaman's reaction speed has slowed down a lot due to his age, he has a lot of experience. Just now when he saw Robbie Keane step forward, he was ready to attack at any time, and the moment Chen Xi passed the ball, he started.

The old goalkeeper's attack made Chen Xi have nothing to say. In recent seasons, Arsenal have won a lot of fans with their beautiful attacking football, but in fact, their experienced defensive ability in central and back is what guarantees their results!

Offense wins games, defense wins championships, this saying is often mentioned in the NBA, and it actually applies to the football field.

Chen Xi suddenly felt a little envious, if Tottenham also had such an excellent defense, how good would it be?

Frolic! Why do you want to do so much! If you want me to say, defense is like a woman's bra~ mask, just waiting for a man like me to tear it open! Chen Xi's thoughts suddenly changed, and he thought of narcissism!
