On the second day after such an exciting battle, the major British media also showed their abilities and covered the game from various angles.
"Best's Scimitar vs. Chen's Scimitar"
That's the headline of The Telegraph, and it's clear that the focus of the article is on the two free-kicks between Chen Xi and David Beckham in this game.
The article mentions that the era of "Bettle's scimitar" being the only one in the Premier League has ended, and the "Chen's cutlas" has launched a strong challenge to "Betle's cutlass". Even, judging from the performance in this game alone, Edison Chen's assist and a free kick are more exciting than Beckham's pass and shot!
Of course, the author of the article also pointed out that "Chen's scimitar" really wants to surpass "Pei's scimitar", and it can't rely on the performance of this game alone. Only when Edison Chan plays like David Beckham for a long time and steadily, can he really make his own signature!
The Post focused on the handsome faces of Chen Xi and Beckham.
In the newspaper's sports section report on the game, the author believes that Beckham's long-standing title of "heartthrob" has now been attacked by Edison Chen, a handsome Chinese man! The article said that although Edison-Chen was an Oriental, his tall and strong figure and delicate but masculine facial features were very much in line with the aesthetics of Westerners. There is no doubt that the Premier League has given birth to another idol star with both strength and appearance!
The Guardian headlined "Shake Hands and Make Peace", accompanied by a photo of David Beckham and Chen Xi shaking hands as they exchanged jerseys.
In their view, the key battle between Manchester United and Tottenham was, like the final scoreline, an absolutely evenly matched game. Although Manchester United once pressed Tottenham, Tottenham was also blown away by the referee for a valid goal. Beckham and Edison Chan, the focal points of both teams, both played a pass and a shot, and even the way they scored goals was much the same. As in the photo, the result was a handshake.
The sports edition of The Sun featured photos of David Beckham and Chen Xi as they took off their shirts and left the game. The half~naked~ photos of the two handsome guys can obviously help them attract readers with female surnames.
As for their sporting editor-in-chief, Howard, he didn't directly slam Tottenham this time, but only repeatedly highlighted the fact that Tottenham have come down from the top spot they have been entrenched for several rounds.
Because the Gunners won the Bolton team cleanly in this round, their record is the same as that of Tottenham, with five wins and two draws, and they surpassed Tottenham Hotspur with two goal difference and successfully reached the top!
Howard compared the line-ups of Tottenham and Arsenal, and Arsenal, with stars such as Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, Campbell and Ashley Cole, almost have an all-star squad, which is much stronger than a Tottenham team with a group of veterans plus a few strong players and young stars like Chen Xi. According to Howard's analysis, Tottenham will struggle to regain the defending champions after losing the lead this time.
In addition to these newspapers, the Guardian, Reader, British Press, Everysay Mirror and even BBC television have covered the game at great length.
Although they only got a draw at Old Trafford, Chen Xi and Tottenham Hotspur clearly used their actions to defeat the pre-match media doubts about them. It proves that they will not be at a disadvantage even against a strong team like Manchester United now.
Some pro~ Tottenham London newspapers also mentioned that misjudgment in the game, and in their opinion, if it wasn't for the referee's erasure of Robbie Keane's goal, Tottenham would have even had hope of taking away three points from Old Trafford, not just a draw!
Tottenham fans are also crying out for the team, and in their opinion, if it wasn't for the referee's misjudgment, Tottenham would not have lost the top spot. For the Tottenhams, anyone can reach the top, and they only don't want to see their century-old rivals Arsenal step on them.
For so many years, the team has been trampled under the feet of the Arsenal team because of its poor strength, and now it is hard to occupy the top position, but because of the referee's misjudgment and the leader position is given to the Arsenal people, Tottenham fans are naturally unwilling.
But complaining aside, Tottenham fans also know that the result of the game cannot be changed, and they can only hope that the team will regain the top spot with a better performance in the next games!
Unlike other media, Sky Sports seems to be obsessed with dissecting Chen Xi's free kick!
Maybe it was the free kick that took half of the football program to analyze Chen Xi's free kick that was well received and tasted the sweetness. This time, the program analyzed Chen Xi's weird arc free kick in the game.
In order to analyze Chen Xi's free kick that "violates the laws of physics" to the greatest extent. The program team even invited a group of physicists. This also includes a physicist who studied the strange arc of Carlos' shocking free kick.
In the program, Chen Xi's free kick was replayed over and over again: at that time, Chen Xi took the free kick at a position about 25 meters away from the goal, and the French international Butters lined up a five-man wall, and Chen Xi pumped the inside of his right foot to the bottom of the ball after a short run; The ball looked like it was about to fly out of bounds, and the slow motion also showed that a ball boy 10 meters to the right side of the goal subconsciously dodged, but the ball turned at the last moment, drew a strange trajectory and went straight into the net!
Several physicists used the famous "Magnus effect" to explain the arc of the banana ball in Chen Xi's free kick. This theorem is mainly about how the rotation of an object affects its path in the air or water.
In the end, the physicist who worked on Carlos' free-kick finally came to the conclusion: "Edison's arc is more difficult than Carlos's arc back then." Because Carlos' goal was 35 metres away from goal, the ball had plenty of time and distance to 'turn', while Edison's free-kick was nearly 10 metres closer, which meant that the ball had to be 'turned' in a shorter time and distance. ”
At the same time, the physicist also said: "Theoretically, such a free kick can be replicated. But that person had to be able to have enough power like Edison and give the ball a strong spin! ”
A bunch of boring physicists, a show full of terms and equations, turned out to generate very high ratings for Sky Sports.
I really don't know if it's because Chen Xi's current reputation is too famous, or because British fans are idle......
