Looking at Zola, who was celebrating the goal with his teammates, Chen Xi felt a kind of respect from the bottom of his heart.

The Italian bantam, who is only 1.68 meters tall, was dismissed from Italian football in the summer of 1997 as old, but no one expected that the 30-year-old veteran would "unexpectedly" achieve great success in a foreign country and become one of the best Italians in the Premier League.

Before Chen Xi crossed, he had studied Zola's free kicks and studied them.

Of course, Chen Xi knows very well that now is not the time for him to chase stars. The team is behind and as the team's most important attacker, he has to step up.

After the restart, Chen Xi launched a very threatening attack.

After winning the ball on the left side, facing Glen Shire, who is also known for his speed, Chen Xi deceived the Danes with a series of dazzling feints, and then went directly to the middle!

Frank Lampard made up for Chen Xi in time, but Chen Xi did not continue to seek a breakthrough, but suddenly sent a through ball into the penalty area!

"Beautiful! It was a scalpel-like through ball ......"

Sheringham broke free from Desailly, who was also in his thirties, and received the ball on the left side of the box.

After stopping the ball, Sheringham went straight to the far corner with his left foot and fired a low shot into the far corner!

As a result, the ball grazed the post and went wide of the goal!

"Oh~~~ Sheringham missed the opportunity!"

The stands at White Hart Lane also resounded with the sighs of Tottenham fans!

Soon, Tottenham made a comeback.

The ball came to Chen Xi's feet after several turns, and this time Chen Xi went directly to the middle.

After beating Frank Lampard in a one-two with Redknapp, Chen Xi faced the blonde-haired Frenchman Petit again.

Chen Xi learned through the pre-game information that this guy, who is very elegant and handsome in appearance, is actually a defensive midfielder with a tough style and fierce steals.

Although he is already 32 years old, Chen Xi can still not hold it up, but pass the ball to Sheringham, who retreats to receive the ball.

Sheringham protected the ball, and after seeing Chen Xi plug it in, he gave the ball back to Chen Xi.

In the face of Petit's interference behind him, Chen Xi did not choose to shoot directly, but picked the ball into the penalty area with a light rub of his toes.

"Oh~~~ beautiful pick! Opportunity! ”

Robbie Keane got rid of Garra's defense, inserted into the penalty area at high speed, and after unloading Chen Xi's pass, he directly picked up his right foot and volleyed!

The ball went straight into the far corner of the goal, and although Cudicini made a save, it was still beyond the reach of the whip!

“goooooooal！ Robbie ~~~~ Keane!! The Irish striker helped the team equalize! Of course, we can't forget Edison's clever kick! ”

Boom~~~ The White Hart Lane stadium was soon drowned out by the cheers of the Tottenham fans.

After scoring the goal, Robbie Keane beckoned Chen Xi behind him to rush to the stands together, and the two once again performed a passionate machine gun fire!

Ranieri on the sidelines waved his hand helplessly, although he had already arranged the defense of Chen Xi well before the game, but Chen Xi made a cameo in the middle this time and caught them off guard.

1-1, the two teams returned to the same running line.

In the ensuing period, despite Tottenham's hopes of taking advantage of the victory, Chelsea strengthened their defence under Claudio Ranieri and did not give Tottenham too many chances.

The retraction of the two centre-backs also left Chelsea with the pace of two wing-backs to launch counter-attacks. This single attacking approach also eased Tottenham's defensive difficulties.

The game gradually came to a stalemate.

The first half of the game went by in this stalemate.

As the first half was about to end 1-1, a foul on the left side of the box broke the deadlock!

'Friend brought down Zenden and gave Chelsea a free-kick on the edge of the box, which is a very dangerous area and Chelsea's Italian player Gianfranco Zola is a free-kick master!

Chen Xi, who was standing in the human wall, once again got the opportunity to observe the free kick master at close range, but Chen Xi didn't like this kind of opportunity, he still preferred to go home and watch the video.

After the referee's whistle, Zola began his short run, and after the ball was kicked on the inside of his right foot, as if by magic, it flew over the head of the wall, and then drew a beautiful arc and fell directly into the near corner of the goal!

Although Keller was very attentive and made the first save, he still couldn't stop the ball from getting into the snare!

Boom~~~ Some Chelsea fans who had made the way from south-west London erupted in loud cheers.

Ranieri on the sidelines waved his fists excitedly and celebrated with his assistants.

Gianfranco Zola began his celebrations with excitement as he jumped high after a sprint before smashing his right fist into the air. This slightly retro-tinged celebration has already appeared twice in the White Hart Lane stadium at half-time. This little man who is only 1.68 meters seems to have become a giant in White Hart Lane!

Facing the sudden outbreak of Zola, Chen Xi also felt helpless. Some veterans may struggle to stay in good form throughout the season, but a flash of brilliance at a crucial moment can make the difference between the races!

Of course, Tottenham also have veterans like Sheringham. It's just that he hasn't been able to shine in this game yet!

The first half ended shortly after the restart.

Tottenham could only enter the dressing room with a 1-2 scoreline.

This time, in the face of a backward situation, Hoddle did not scold the players again, because he knew that an experienced veteran like Zola was indeed difficult to defend when he was in good form.

In the second half, the two teams played again.

From the start, Tottenham launched a wave of extremely dangerous attacks. This time, though, it was Simon Davies on the right who attacked.

He found the top of Sheringham's head with a cross after a series of breakthroughs down the right!

Sheringham slammed the ball into the goal!

Just as the Tottenhams were about to cheer, a big hand saved the ball off the line!

"Oh~~~ Cudicini denied Sheringham's header!"

Hoddle patted the roof of the bench depressedly, perhaps he sighed in his heart, why don't the veterans of our team fight?

Rising from the turf, Cudicini was treated like a hero, with Desailly giving him a deep hug as the Italian saved to save a defensive misalignment.

Narrowly missed Tottenham's second-half equaliser at the start of the second half, giving Ranieri, who has the Italian's conservative style to his bones, smell a hint of danger, so he pressed his hands on the players and signaled them to hold on, after all, the team is now ahead.

After three years of building by Claudio Ranieri, Chelsea's defensive ability is still good.

Therefore, with Chelsea defending carefully, Tottenham did not find any good opportunities in the next period!

However, Chelsea took advantage of Tottenham's heavy pressure and launched several dangerous counter-attacks.

Had it not been for Hasselbaink's failure to take the chance, Chelsea would have overtaken the scoreline.

In the face of this unfavorable situation, Chen Xi has tried to make personal breakthroughs many times. However, after the adjustment of Ranieri's midfield, the Chelsea team has become more targeted against Chen Xi's defense.

Therefore, Chen Xi has not been able to create any good opportunities!

Ranieri stood there with his hands folded on the sidelines, a slight smile on his face.

Defending Chen Xi is equivalent to stifling Tottenham's attack, and everyone understands this truth. But since the start of the Premier League, teams that have actually done it have not.

Even Ferguson's Manchester United team was deflated by Chen Xi!

And his team seemed to have done that in the second half. At least, that's how it is from now!

The second half was a bit boring because of Chelsea's all-out defence.

The situation was clearly very upset for the fans who paid to watch the game, and there were boos from the Spurs fans in the stands.

"Italians, get out of the Premier League! The Premier League doesn't need your Italian defense! ”

"Ranieri, go back to Italy and mend your pot!"

……

All of a sudden, Tottenham fans took their frustration out on Ranieri, who in their opinion was the Italian coach who made the second half so boring.

Ranieri, as an old sparrow who has been in the coaching circle for more than ten years, will naturally not be affected by this kind of booing.

Most of the Chelsea players on the pitch are also experienced veterans, and they are used to booing their opponents!

Just when everyone thought Tottenham were on the verge of their first home defeat of the season, a frizzy foul by Chelsea centre-back Gara from outside the box gave Tottenham a chance.

'Galla put in Robbie Keane from behind and Tottenham got a free-kick in front! It will be a turnaround for Tottenham! Gianfranco Zola scored the second goal for Chelsea from a free-kick in the first half, but could Edison do the same? ”

Chen Xi took the ball and put it at the foul site, and when the team couldn't find a chance, this kind of free kick was definitely a rare good opportunity.

The free-kick was located near the corner of the penalty area on the right, slightly off, but it was still within range of Chen Xi.

Several of Tottenham's big men also came into the box, leaving the Chelsea players unsure whether Chen Xi would choose to shoot or pass.

Tottenham fans on the sidelines focused their attention on Chen Xi, hoping that the Chinese kid could save the team again.

"Chen Xi, this goal is going to be scored!" Yang Xu, who bought Tottenham's package tickets for this season, and other international students also secretly cheered for Chen Xi in the stands.

After the Chelsea team lined up the wall, the referee blew the whistle in his mouth!

After a period of running, Chen Xi slammed the outside of his right foot on the ball!

The ball flew past the left side of the wall and headed for the bunch of people in the box!

Cudicini, who didn't see Chen Xi's touch footwork, judged that it was a pass from the route, so he rushed out and prepared to knock the ball out of the penalty area with both fists!

When he noticed the strong outspin of the ball, he realised something was wrong and immediately stepped back.

However, Chen Xi's outside instep hit the goal with great force, and after drawing an exaggerated arc in the air, he crossed Cudicini, and then drilled into the goal at a very fast speed from the intersection of the far post and the crossbar!

“what~a~fantasy~goooooooooal!！！ Edison ~~~~~~~~~ Chen !! It's an incredible arc and it's an incredible goal!! Edison equalised with a free-kick that was even more brilliant than the veteran Zola!! ”

Boom~~~ At the moment when the ball touched the net, the stands of White Deer Lane also boiled like boiling water!

"It's so~ amazing!"

"World waves, barrage!"

"Oh I~, it's so beautiful!"

"Pu you old ~ mother, tell you to defend it!"

"I'm a mother, this goal is in!"

"I'm so beautiful!"

"Chen Xi, rise up!"

……

The international students in the stands couldn't help but vent their emotions in dialect.

'The Chelseaians paid the price for their conservatism and Thomas Edison saved the team with a classic free-kick. He has the upper hand in conversations with some of the Premier League's biggest free-kick specialists! It is no exaggeration to say that Edison was already a top free-kick master! ”

After scoring the goal, Chen Xi excitedly rushed to the stands, and when he walked to the side of the stands, he once again showed the "space walk" that he had performed at Anfield before.

"Edison Jackson! Edison Jackson! Edison Jackson! ”

His graceful steps made the stands resound with a neat cry again! And this time, it's obviously much more spectacular than at Anfield.

Chen Xi's teammates also rushed over excitedly, although it was only a draw now, but it was obviously very relieved to knock on their door after the opponent had been holding on for so long!

Hoddle, who was on the sidelines, also waved his fist excitedly. With Chen Xi's accurate free kick, the team will have one more nirvana when breaking the dense defense in the future!

After a little celebration, Chen Xi and his teammates returned to their own half, and although there were only a few minutes left in the game, Chen Xi and his teammates still hoped to try to win a victory.

It's just that in the following time, Ranieri didn't give Tottenham a chance. Although the three points turned into one, in the last few minutes, the Italian old man stubbornly defended to the end.

In the end, the score was locked at 2-2. This score is obviously not a good result for both teams.

After the game, the veteran Zola took the initiative to find Chen Xi and exchange his jersey: "Young man, your free kick is great!" ”

"Hehe, I've learned a lot from your free-kick video!" Chen Xi also generously took off his jersey and handed it over and said.

"Now that you young people have grown up, old guys like us are going to be eliminated!" Zora said helplessly.

"How can it be, depending on your form, you can play for at least a few seasons!" Chen Xi vaguely remembered that after Zola left Chelsea, he seemed to have returned to Serie A to play for a few seasons, so he was not flattering.

"Haha, I'm going to be forty years old if I keep playing!" Zola smiled heartily, he really wanted to play for a few more years.

The two figures who dominated the game in this game talked cordially here, and the reporters on the sidelines naturally did not let them go and surrounded them one after another.

Naturally, the two of them were inevitably attacked with long guns and short cannons......
