192 Desperate for Life
Hoddle was also relieved to see the performance of the players, because he was worried about how to motivate the players at this time. Chen Xi has already helped him solve the problem!
Standing in his position, looking at the sunshine that had weakened a lot, Chen Xi suddenly felt that this might be a good sign for the team!
Manchester United had to intervene with the referee to end their celebrations and return to their positions.
After both teams have been grouped together, the game resumes!
After the restart, Tottenham's attack became even more frenzied, with two full-backs providing timely assists in addition to a few players in midfield.
In the 68th minute, it was with Zigger's insertion and assist that Chen Xi tore through the defense of Manchester United on the left side!
With the addition of Ryderknapp, Tottenham also have three attacking players in the local area.
Manchester United also only had David Beckham, Gary Neville and Roy Keane in defending, and Scholes had to stay near the penalty area to defend Flender!
After a continuous pass between the three, the ball came to the feet of Chen Xi on the left side!
Facing Gary Neville, who had caused him a lot of trouble in the last encounter, Chen Xi did not have any fear, and after stepping on the bicycle twice, he chose to force overtaking with the ball accelerating.
Although Gary Neville quickly pasted Chen Xi, he couldn't stop him from moving forward!
After Chen Xi accelerated again, he finally got rid of Gary Neville's defense temporarily, and took advantage of this opportunity to pass the ball directly to the penalty area with his left foot!
The ball was flat, fast, of excellent quality, and flew straight to the goal!
Morientes at the front post failed to get his hands on the ball under Ferdinand's entanglement, and the ball began to fall at the back post.
Robbie Keane quickly flanked in place to get ahead of Wes Brown and kicked the ball towards Butters!
Butters reacted quickly and saved the ball in time, although it slowed down but still rolled towards the goal.
The moment the ball crossed the goal line, Butters made a tiger pounce to get the ball back!
Boom~~~ The stands erupted in cheers from the Tottenham fans, and in their opinion, the goal had been scored!
Robbie Keane also quickly raised his hand to signal that the goal had been scored, and then he was ready to start celebrating!
"Did the goal go in? What will the referee decide? ”
At this time, everyone's eyes were on the referee, and he was also a little nervous at this time, because his vision was disturbed just now, and he couldn't see the ball clearly, so he could only run to the sidelines to ask the linesman's opinion!
"Of course it went in! We can see it clearly in the stands! ”
"I~, this stupid~ forced the referee, I can see that the ball has crossed the line, and he hasn't seen it yet!"
"The referee didn't see it, the linesman should have seen it, right?"
Yang Xu in the stands said a few words, they were chased by Manchester United just now, they have been silent for a long time, and now they finally have a chance to celebrate, but the referee is grinding there, they are naturally a little impatient!
"From our slow motion, the ball did cross the goal line. Of course, the next thing to do is to see how the referee will decide! Paul Mortenson also gives the answer in combination with slow motion.
While the referee was discussing with the linesman, several Tottenham players had expressed their opinions in the past. I hope to be able to make an accurate decision from the referee!
However, the referee did not listen to them at all, and made a move to continue the game. Seemingly...... The linesman didn't see the situation clearly!
"Oh my God! The referee signaled that the game continued, that is, that the Tottenham Hotspur goal was invalid! This is definitely a miscalculation! The opponent came from behind, reversed the score, and now the referee blew off another goal. Hopefully the emotions of the Tottenham players will not be affected! ”
When a goal was inexplicably blown away, how could the emotions of the Tottenham players not be affected? Robbie Keane and Chen Xi both rushed to the referee's side.
"Referee, the ball just now has clearly crossed the line, I can see it clearly, didn't you and the linesman see it?" Robbie Keane said excitedly.
"Yes, referee! The goal was scored, didn't you see the reaction of the Manchester United players? Because they also know that the ball is over the line! Chen Xi took out the performance of the Manchester United players just now as evidence.
However, this referee seemed to be stunned, and he was determined to punish him like this, and he said righteously: "I hope you calm down, otherwise I will have to take out the cards!" ”
"But......" Robbie Keane was about to continue arguing, but was hugged by Chen Xi.
"Forget it, Robbie. Let's get another one later! Chen Xi obviously heard from the referee's tone that his decision could not be changed. They know that if they continue to argue, they will get nothing but one card.
"But I'm not reconciled!" Robbie Keane said unwillingly.
"There's still time! We'll score another goal later and leave them speechless! Although Chen Xi was also very unwilling, he still comforted Robbie Keane.
Robbie Keane didn't speak, just nodded!
When Chen Xi and the two of them were theorizing, the stands where the Tottenham fans were also bursting into boos and scolding, and Yang Xu and the others even greeted the referee's family in their respective dialects.
Hoddle on the sidelines also scolded and vented, and his actions almost led him to the stands by the fourth official, but in the end, Chris acted as a peacemaker to avoid such a thing.
After the resumption of the game, it was clear that the mood of the Tottenham players had taken a big hit.
Manchester United also took the opportunity to regain the initiative on the pitch and launched several waves of extremely threatening attacks!
In the last fifteen minutes of the game, Manchester United played a very tacit cooperation!
After two one-twos with David Beckham and Ruud van Nistelrooy, Paul Scholes sent the ball into the box with a fake pass!
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer once again ghostly appeared on the path of the ball, catching up with Keller and calmly pushing the ball into the far corner!
Boom~~~ The Manchester United fans in the stands erupted in a tsunami-like cheer. In their opinion, Manchester United's goal was undoubtedly the seal of victory.
However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had just started to celebrate when the referee's whistle was stopped!
"The referee signalled that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's goal was invalid! Could it be that he was offside? ”
The flag in the hands of the linesman gave the answer, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was indeed offside, and the goal was invalid!
This time it was Tottenham Hotspur's turn to rejoice, and Manchester United fans were happy for nothing!
Manchester United's players also reluctantly continued to devote themselves to the game after making some arguments.
Ferguson, who was on the sidelines, also sat back in his seat stupidly.
And Hoddle almost had a heart attack at the moment of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's goal. Fortunately, the ball was blown invalid, and Tottenham still had a chance!
'Let's look at the slow motion of that goal, is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer really offside?'
The TV screen was fixed on the moment Paul Scholes hit the ball, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer did lean out slightly halfway.
'Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was a little offside and the referee was really aware of it. Of course, it is also possible that the referee is looking for a balance, after all, he just blew off a goal for Tottenham! ”
Regardless of whether the referee finds a balance or not, Tottenham Hotspur has escaped after all!
In the next deadball, Hoddle replaced Ziggy, who was already a little exhausted, with Argentine Tarico. He is also changing direction to increase the team's attacking power. After all, Ziggy no longer has the physical strength to support running at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and Tarico's attack power is also stronger than that of the Germans!
After Tarico came on the field, he did help Chen Xi a lot, he frequently inserted assists, which attracted a lot of defensive firepower for Chen Xi, and also allowed him to break through the right side of the Manchester United team more calmly!
In the 78th minute, Chen Xi made a wonderful one-two with Tarico on the left side!
After passing the ball to Tarico, Chen Xi inserted it towards the baseline at high speed, and Tarico picked up the ball and hoisted it behind Gary Neville.
In the empty run, Gary Neville was no match for Chen Xi at all. After Chen Xi caught up with the ball, he swept the ball directly to the middle!
The footwork used by Chen Xi in this ball is somewhat similar to the volley, so the force is very large, the speed is very fast, and the ball goes straight into the middle of the penalty area!
Anyone who touches this kind of ball can complete the fatal blow!
In the end, Ferdinand, who was in front of the point, bravely hit the ball, and the ball he hit did not fly out of the penalty area, but flew directly towards the goal!
Fortunately, at this time, Butters was in an excellent position and knocked the ball out of the baseline with one punch!
Oh~~~ There was a sigh of regret from Tottenham fans in the stands. Manchester United fans gasped!
After this wave of Tottenham Hotspur's attack, Manchester United also significantly strengthened their defence. Tottenham's attack couldn't have been as easy as it had been before.
Seeing that time was getting less and less, Hoddle on the sidelines could only pace back and forth anxiously. Because at this time, he is already his most powerful attacking lineup on the field, and he has no good substitution options at this time!
Chen Xi was even more guarded by Manchester United at this time, whether he took the ball or not, Roy Keane and another player would pinch him, and it was difficult for him to even connect the ball once, let alone attack with the ball.
Soon, the 90 minutes of regular time were coming to an end, and the fourth official on the sidelines was already adjusting the electronic cards in his hand, ready to announce the stoppage time!
It was at this point that Tottenham used the most humble throw-in to create a chance
