297 Goal Shootout

The beautifully named White Hart Lane stadium is sunny and Arsenal goalkeeper Lehmann wears a cap and looks around the stands in front of the goal line.

He hates White Hart Lane, not only because of the hatred between the clubs, but also because of the location of the pitch, like today, after the second half of the second half, the pitch is blocked by half of the sunlight in full light, making the light and dark areas in the stadium more obvious, and he stands in this position with dazzling light, and he must wear a hat to improve the situation slightly, in any case, for the goalkeeper, the situation of disturbing the vision is always the most disgusting, which will affect his goalmouth play.

Cunning Tottenham!

Damn, when Robinson was standing here in the first half, the Suns were clearly in a different position than they are now.

When it was Lyman's turn to stand here, he would be exposed to the harsh sun.

Hell too.

In the UK, where it rains an average of 10 days a month, even if it doesn't rain, it doesn't necessarily have the pleasant sunshine it has today.

Although God is helping Tottenham, it's a pity that you don't fight for yourself.

No matter how dazzling the sun is, I am afraid that it will not sting the hearts of Tottenham fans more than the 4:1 score on the scoreboard.

On this sunny afternoon, Tottenham fans were simply tormented, and their inner world was full of lightning and thunder!

Arsenal deceives people too much!

The celebration after every goal is so arrogant!

As if Tottenham were weak and could be bullied, they took what they wanted, scoring a few goals if they wanted.

Just as Tottenham fans were starting to get disheartened, what they saw as a turning point in the stadium took place.

In the good situation of leading 4:1, Vieira is still the Vieira who took the lead and "left his post without permission".

But in this attack for 73 minutes. Patrick Vieira missed. His pass was not sent to Bergkamp's feet. Intercepted by Carrick in the middle of the way.

Carrick immediately instigated a counter-attack, and he fed Defoe a pass that was not clever and still dominated by steady.

Defoe burst forward with the ball on the left side of the pitch, his diminutive stature was extremely agile, and he dribbled the ball left and right at high speed to confuse the Arsenal back line.

Yes, Arsenal simply didn't have a midfielder to intercept him.

This puts Arsenal's defenders in an awkward position, on the one hand, Defoe is more flexible in dribbling. On the other hand, he has to be afraid of him passing Keane through the ball.

All in all, this kind of scene where the back line faces at least two attacking players directly can be very uncomfortable for defenders.

Defoe didn't plan to pass the ball at all, he held back most of the game, and finally took the opportunity, how could he give it to others?

The moment he stepped into the box, he suddenly got up and fired a powerful shot of great quality, and the ball flew over the defender's head, hung in the top right corner of the goal, and flew into the net against the underside of the crossbar. Corner!

Lehmann didn't make a save at all, which he blamed on the light disrupting his vision. In fact, even if he makes a save, there is no possibility that he will touch the football, and Defoe played it so beautifully!

'Tottenham pulled a goal back! Defoe has made a meritorious service, Arsenal's defenders have been retreating, no one has stepped forward to intercept, they are afraid of being used when the space behind the guide is used, but Defoe has just stepped into the big penalty area and shot decisively, and penetrated Lehmann's ten fingers! Brilliant goal! 2:4, Tottenham still has a chance! ”

Defoe's goal rekindled hope among Tottenham fans, who cheered for Defoe with excitement and screamed for Tottenham to keep up the good work!

Arsene Wenger shook his head slightly from the sidelines.

He's going to be replaced.

He doesn't blame Vieira, and in fact he can't stand Reyes' invisible appearance on the pitch any longer.

The facts are in front of us, and when Reyes can't keep the offense going time and time again, he can't trust his teammates.

So in disguise, Vieira will not choose to pass the ball to him, and after a long time, Tottenham will also find this, so Vieira or Qin Xiong, the choice of the direction of the forward pass will be reduced, only the middle and the right side, in other words, the probability of Tottenham's defensive success will also be improved, and it will be easier to predict and react in time.

Reyes went off the pitch disappointed, and Pire, who was injured but still in doubt, returned to the field.

Tottenham thought their pull back was a good sign and after the restart, they aggressively launched counter-attacks in midfield.

However, Arsenal also actively counter-attacked in the midfield, and everyone's reaction to the ball after a successful local defense determined the quality of the attack.

In the 77th minute of the game, after Vieira's bold forward pressure gave Brown the pressure to play the ball, Brown made a mistake in passing!

The ball he passed to Carrick was directly cut off by Qin Xiong, and after the ball was broken, Qin Xiong passed the ball out almost in the next second!

Straight ball!

Patrick Vieira rushed straight forward, Bergkamp was stared at and Thierry Henry was stared at and the two of them were in fact providing Vieira with cover.

For Patrick Vieira's bold and decisive move forward came as a surprise to the Tottenham defence.

After receiving Qin Xiong's through ball, Vieira strode forward, directly wading through Tottenham's back line, and then facing Robinson, Vieira came to shoot.

Robinson made another mistake in his judgment when he thought Vieira was going to shoot the ball and fell to the ground, only to have the ball fly over his body and into the goal behind him!

“5:2! Oh my God, how many goals are Arsenal going to score? What exactly is Tottenham's defence doing? The whole game is like sleepwalking! ”

It's not that they're sleepwalking, it's their high-pressing tactics that are simply self-defeating when they encounter a technical team like Arsenal!

Patrick Vieira roared into the stands, even in the face of the boos of the Tottenham fans, he was a menacing declaration of pride.

This open competition shocked everyone!

Three minutes later, Tottenham pulled another goal back!

Toure again!

Tottenham's simple cross from the wing was actually played!

Toure once again rose to the top in the fallback, allowing King to score a goal, and it was the lob shot that was formed after the header that left Lehmann to sigh at the ball!

Qin Xiong will confirm the idea that has been buried in his heart for a month.

There is a problem with the air defense of Arsenal!

Yes, despite the tall centre-backs like Toure and Campbell, air defense should have been absolutely fine.

But air defense is not only a question of whether you can compete for a header, but also the ability to deal with the header, Arsenal will often see these two central defenders after the header is cleared but give the opponent a second chance to attack, and Yan Zòng mistakes belong to the two fatal headers like Toure today to give the opponent the opportunity to score a goal.

The reason why Qin Xiong has this idea, in addition to seeing many times in the game Arsenal defenders after dealing with high-altitude balls, also includes the most fundamental training content, compared to Ajax's somewhat self-contained systematic and rigorous training system, Wenger's Arsenal training system established single-handedly seems to be indifferent to set-piece defense and targeted high-altitude ball defense, Wenger probably copied his offensive creation of creative free play to the defense, in other words, With Arsenal's own attack, they tested and honed their defence in training.

This in itself may be fine, because Arsenal have a strong attack, but in fact Arsenal does not represent or cover all the attacking styles of the entire game, especially in England, they play football that is completely different from the traditional British style, so their own backline will rarely be tested by long passes in training, and naturally there is not much experience accumulated in training.

Qin Xiong shook his head and didn't think about it anymore, after all, a team's defense or offense can't always be perfect, both offensive and defense-watertight, it is estimated that there are few teams in the world, no, there should be no team that can do it, there will always be more or less flaws and imperfections.

"Goal shootout! It's definitely going to be a classic north London derby, Tottenham 3-5 Arsenal, there have been eight goals, will there be? Will there still be? There are 10 minutes left in the game! ”

Tottenham fans in the stands were excited, they saw the bloodiness of the Tottenham team, the spirit of not giving up, and also saw the flaws in Arsenal's defense, there are still 10 minutes in the game, miracle, why can't it happen?

Arsene Wenger made a second substitution on the sidelines before Arsenal restarted the game.

Cesc Fabregas came on to replace veteran Bergkamp.

Martin Joel also made a substitution, with Canute coming on for Defoe. (To be continued......)
