166 Damn Record.... To hell with it!
Even Morientes, who is very confident in his ability to score goals, probably did not expect that his first goal would come so quickly!
At this time, it was only fifteen minutes since his first start for Tottenham!
What's more, it was a crucial winner!
With only a few minutes to go until the end of the game, his goal could well help the team win the final victory, breaking the embarrassing record of not beating Chelsea in more than a decade!
So, while all the Tottenhams on the scene were celebrating wildly, Morientes, who was the hero of the goal, was stunned!
Soon after, though, he came to his senses. At this time, the first thing he thought of was not how to celebrate wildly, but to thank Chen Xi who had assisted him just now!
Thinking of this, Morientes rushed directly to Chen Xi near the sideline!
"Thank you, your pass is beautiful!" Morientes gave Chen Xi a hug and said directly to Chen Xi in Spanish.
"You've got a pretty run, man!" Chen Xi is also very excited at this time, this goal can be said to be planned by him, although it was not him who completed the fatal blow, but the excitement in his heart was no less than beating the Chelsea team with his own hands!
"Morientes, who scored the crucial goal, did not celebrate, but rushed to Edison, who assisted him! Indeed, Edison also took a large part of the credit for this goal, and it was his precise free-kick assist that helped Morientes complete the fatal blow! Tottenham Hotspur, which is already full of attacking power, now has such a striker, and it seems that the backline of other teams in the Premier League should be careful! ”
Soon, the other teammates also came to Chen Xi and Morientes excitedly!
"Well done, Fernando!"
"Beautiful header! Fernando! ”
…… Although Morientes' English was not very good, he knew that his teammates were congratulating him on his goal, so he just kept repeating the word "thank you" in English.
"Maybe you should learn your English, Fernando!" After the celebration, Chen Xi said to Morientes in Spanish.
"Well, I will. But you speak Spanish really well! "Morientes is clearly excited to have such a teammate in the team who can communicate with him in Spanish.
Of course, you worked hard before I crossed over to study in vain? However, Chen Xi also felt that it was a good thing to know a few languages at this time, no, it was the third time that he had used this trick to sneak attack his opponent!
The first time was during the trial, I used Chinese to play a few good matches with Qu Bo.
The second time was to communicate with Tarico in Spanish and complete a wonderful tactical corner!
This time, he came to such a hand with Morientes again.
This reminded Chen Xi of a sentence he had heard before crossing over, hooligans are not terrible, they are afraid that hooligans are cultured. Lao Tzu is not a hooligan, but it seems terrible to be cultured?
At this time, players in the Chelsea team who had played for Spanish teams like Petit and Cendon suddenly realized the "conspiracy" that Chen Xi had just had.
Especially Petit, who had just been involved in the defense in the penalty area, regretted that he did not react quickly to make up for Morientes. In fact, in the rush just now, how could someone like Morientes, who is very sensitive to Spanish, pay attention to Chen Xi's words?
At this point, regret is clearly useless, Tottenham have regained the lead, and there is not much time left for the Chelsea people!
Ranieri on the sidelines was also depressed, he had coached in Valencia, Spain and Atletico Madrid, he heard Chen Xi's words just now, and he immediately ran to the sidelines and shouted loudly to remind the players to pay attention to the back point. It's just that at that time, the players in the penalty area obviously couldn't hear him screaming so far away, and even if they did, I am afraid it would be too late to react!
In addition to being frustrated, Ranieri also decisively called up young center Carlton Kerr from the bench. The 19-year-old black striker showed some quality in the pre-season warm-up. So Ranieri kept him in the first team and with Gianfranco Zola injured and the strikers strained, he also put the youngster's name on the squad.
'Chelsea have called for a substitution, with young striker Carlton Cole coming on for veteran Petit and Claudio Ranieri is going to give it a go. Carlton Cole is 1.91m tall and Ranieri is clearly hoping to use Carlton Cole's height to attack Tottenham's goal. ”
Ranieri, who has always focused on defense, also had to give up defense and attack with all his might in this situation!
Seeing the opponent's substitution, Hoddle also decisively called Benjesevic and Clemens from the bench, ready to strengthen the defense in the final minutes.
After the game restarted, the Chelsea team also put down the so-called tactics and just let the two wing-backs play the ball again and again on the flanks, hoping that Carlton Cole and the other two strikers could put the ball in!
After a dead goal, Hoddle also used up his remaining two substitutions in one go.
Clemens replaced Redknapp to strengthen the defensive depth at the edge of the box, and Benjessevic replaced Robbie Keane and returned to the penalty area to participate in the defense!
Hoddle's substitution drew boos from the Chelsea fans in the stands, but he didn't care. It's only a few minutes before a fool can't live with victory!
Tottenham's high-intensity defense naturally didn't leave the Chelsea people with any chances, but Chen Xi took you to seize a counterattack opportunity.
Gardner pushed out Zenden's cross, and Clemens, who was outside the penalty area, sent the ball directly to the feet of Chen Xi on the left!
After Chen Xi ran wildly with the ball, he rushed to the penalty area before Galla's supplementary defense, and directly crossed to the penalty area at a 45-degree angle!
It's a pity that this time Morientes headed over the crossbar under Terry's interference and missed the opportunity to score a brace!
Even so, Tottenham had the last laugh!
With a cross from Glen Charles pushed out of the box by Benjessevic, the referee on duty blew the whistle for the end of the game!
"It's over! Congratulations to Tottenham on their victory! Not only did it mean they took the three points away from Stamford Bridge, it also meant that Tottenham's embarrassing streak of not beating Chelsea for more than 12 years since 1990 came to an end! ”
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the stadium at Stamford Bridge became a sea of joy for Tottenham!
Chen Xi and his teammates gathered together excitedly, and the substitute players on the sidelines also rushed into the field.
"Finally stop looking at the faces of the Chelsea people!"
"Yes, it's been more than ten years, and I finally won them!"
"They don't have a chance to sing that damn song now, do they?"
…… The Spurs fans in the stands were also jumping around with excitement as they finally stopped putting up with the taunts of the Chelsea fans. Some of the team's long-time fans even shed tears of emotion, having supported the team for more than a decade but not seeing a win over Chelsea.
Chelsea fans had no choice but to leave the stadium, which was in stark contrast to their pre-match arrogance!
"To hell with that damn record, it's finally gone! Ha ha! Chen Xi couldn't help but say excitedly.
"Yes! Today's game was not in vain! Robbie Keane was also excited.
Morientes was also excited, after all, he participated in such a meaningful game and made his own contribution. It will undoubtedly help him a lot to integrate into the team!
Soon, a group of reporters gathered around. The subjects of their interviews were obviously Morientes, who scored the winning goal, and Chen Xi, the biggest contributor to the victory of this game.
'Morientes, how was it like to score on your first appearance for Tottenham?'
"It's an amazing feeling! I'm glad I made a contribution to the team on my first appearance! ”
'It's been a week since you joined Tottenham, what do you think of this team?'
'It's a very strong team, every team-mate is very kind to me and I'm sure I'll have a really good time here. More importantly, I want to be able to bring the championship to the fans, bring glory and be as ...... as I did at Real Madrid."
…… After several Spanish-speaking reporters interviewed Morientes, everyone turned their attention to Chen Xi.
"Edison, you scored a very wonderful zero degree lob today, did you consciously shoot that goal?"
'Yes, it was my intention to shoot because I saw that Cudicini was close to the near post and there was a lot of space behind him. Happily, I did, and I have to admit it was a beautiful goal! ”
'How do you feel about today, when you finally broke the embarrassing record of 12 years without a win against Chelsea?'
'Honestly, the singing of the Chelsea fans before the game was a great 'inspiration'! We don't want to continue to hear that sarcasm, so we worked hard today. Thankfully, we've finally put an end to the damn record! It's a day to celebrate! ”
"We seem to hear you shout 'back point' in Spanish for the last goal, is that what you said to Morientes?"
"That's right, considering that there is only one Spanish player on the field, Morientes came up with this idea, which should be considered a 'code', and obviously, this 'code' works very well, Fernando [Morientes] scored a very beautiful header!"
"Your Spanish is so good, is it because you are ready to play in La Liga?"
"This ...... I'm still a member of Tottenham and I love the atmosphere of the Premier League and I don't plan to go to any other league just yet! ”
"So which Premier League club are you going to go to at the end of the season?"
...... "I'm sorry, I'm a little tired, that's all for the interview, goodbye, everyone!" Seeing that the media asked about the transfer again, Chen Xi decisively chose to slip away.
