Once the game began, Fulham took advantage of the home momentum to take the lead.

Their French right-back Malblanco flicked off Tarico on the flank and sent in a cross that was flanked by two French strikers in the middle and eventually headed in by Saha at the back post!

It's just that maybe the game has just started and he hasn't found his form yet, so Saha directly put the ball on the top of the stands.

However, the combination between the three French players won the applause of the fans in the stands at Craven Farmer Stadium.

For the dismount sent by the Fulham team, Chen Xi naturally wanted to make a counterattack in time!

In the next attack, Chen Xi received a pass from Redknapp on the left side of the midfield. It was Malblanco, who had just almost completed an assist.

Through the information collected by the coach before the game, Chen Xi knew that the Frenchman born in Belgium was somewhat similar to himself, an attacking full-back, and basically did not have any defensive ability.

Therefore, after Chen Xi just used a simple shaking to change direction, he accelerated to shake off the other party and continue to move forward.

Chen Xi, who was advancing with the ball at high speed, faced the opponent's right-back Fennan again.

The Irish defender has been described as having good defensive ability but average physicality in previous sources. Chen Xi knows that with his brilliance, there will be more and more opponents to study him. Then he naturally has to know something about his opponent, and the so-called knowing himself and knowing that the other side can win all battles.

Even through visual inspection of Chen Xi, it is not difficult to find that this guy's physical fitness is indeed not very good, he is more than 1.8 meters tall, but his figure is relatively thin, estimated to be less than 70 kilograms. Compared with the strong Chen Xi, the thickness of his body feels "thinner" by half.

Knowing the other person's weaknesses, it is natural to make good use of them.

I saw Chen Xi slow down slightly and calmly stepped on the bicycle.

This "provocative" gesture caused the home fans in the stands to boo themselves.

In the face of boos, Chen Xi was not impatient or impatient, still calmly paddling his "beautiful legs" there.

Chen Xi was not in a hurry, but Fennan, who was defending him, was a little anxious. Although this is his seventh season in England, it is only his second season in the Premier League, and Finnan is still lacking in the right side of the iron gate for the Reds.

Therefore, in the face of Chen Xi's bicycle, Fennan couldn't help but steal.

How could Chen Xi give him this opportunity, just when he was about to stretch his feet, Chen Xi suddenly started, took the ball forward, and accelerated the breakthrough!

Finnan's reaction was also very fast, he quickly retracted his center of gravity, and then leaned towards Chen Xi.

His quick reflexes proved that his defensive qualities were really good. If you are an ordinary wide player, even if you don't get the ball off by him, you have to be glued by him.

But Chen Xi is not an ordinary wing player, in addition to speed, he also has a tank-level figure!

Facing Fennan who was leaning over, Chen Xi only accelerated, and after using a little strength from his shoulder, he knocked it away.

The emaciated Finnan was almost knocked off the ground in the face of this force. He could only fall to the ground exaggeratedly, hoping that the referee could blow for Chen Xi's foul.

But the referee saw very clearly just now that although Chen Xi used his body, it did not reach the level of a foul...... In the Premier League, this collision is normal.

So he raised his hands and motioned for Finnan to hurry up and the game continued!

Shh

Chen Xi, who caught up with the ball, passed the ball directly into the penalty area before the opponent's midfielder Sean Davies came to make up for it.

The ball went past Knight at the front point and went straight to Sheringham's head!

Faced with this comfortable pass, the England veteran only had to head the ball to the angle he wanted.

Sheringham made a header flick and flicked the ball straight into the far corner!

Hoddle on the sidelines has already stood up from the coach's bench and is ready to celebrate!

However, a miraculous save from Edwin van der Sar halted the Tottenham celebration!

He was right in the right direction, slotting Sheringham's header out with a single palm, before another centre-back, Goma, lifted the ball straight out of the touchline.

Boom~~~ The stands resounded with the enthusiastic cheers of the Fulham fans.

Sheringham, who landed on the ground, looked annoyed, and it was obvious that he had lost in this direct dialogue between the two veterans.

Chen Xi was also a little helpless, although he had expected that the gate guarded by Van der Sar would be difficult to break, but he didn't expect that such a close shot would still be saved by him. He had to sigh, Van der Sar is really an old demon goalkeeper!

For the next period of time, the two teams were still playing against each other.

Chen Xi sent a couple of side crosses in quick succession, but they were either saved by Van der Sar or squandered by the two veteran strikers.

On Fulham's side, two French strikers, Saha and Malay, are also squandering their chances.

Faced with this situation, the two managers on the sidelines were helpless. They know very well that in an offensive battle like this, whoever has the ability to seize the opportunity will be able to seize the opportunity.

Hoddle looked at Robbie Keane on the bench and withdrew his gaze, he wasn't going to put his weight on the Irishman who had just been training with the team for a week.

In addition to delivering wonderful assists as always, Chen Xi on the field also tried to shoot a few times.

Although his shot posed a certain threat to the Fulham team, Van der Sar's guard was still very solid and was not shot through by Chen Xi.

In the back-and-forth battle between the two teams, the first half of the game has come to an end, and the score on the field has not changed.

Both managers' managers have come to terms with the half-time draw and are wondering what adjustments should be made in midfield to take advantage of the second half.

This is true for both coaches, let alone the players of both teams.

After fighting fiercely for about 40 minutes, their bodies were somewhat tired, and they slowed down their rhythm, waiting for the halftime break.

However, they all seem to have overlooked one point. The five minutes before half-time is one of the most likely periods of time in football!

I don't know if Chen Xiqing doesn't know this, but at least he is physically energetic and not ready to finish the last few minutes of the first half like everyone else.

Always on the left side of midfield, seemingly careless, he is actually always looking for opportunities.

The opponent has been on the back of the field and has not given Tottenham any chance, after all, there are two old men over 35 years old on the front line of Tottenham, and they can't be expected to press in the front at this time.

But Chen Xi is different, although his defensive ability in the backfield is negligible. But with his speed and physical strength, he can be a secret weapon when pressing up front!

No, watching the ball being gradually passed to their right by the Fulham players, Chen Xi was ready.

Just as Junichi Inamoto in the middle passed the ball to Malblanco, who retreated to receive the ball, Chen Xi, who had been "strolling" near the midfield before, ran towards the ball route like a cheetah that had found its prey!
