When Steven Gerrard slotted the spot-kick cleanly into the Tottenham goal guarded by Gomes, there was a sense of pessimism at White Hart Lane.

No Tottenham fan will be able to face this game calmly.

Trailing by a goal?

Some chase!

Two goals behind in 33 minutes?

There are still some chasing!

But Jehovah Almighty, tell all those who regard Tottenham as their beloved, how to chase them?

I didn't even have a decent shot!

If you don't shoot, where will you score?

The elder Redknapp was completely aware that the game would not go as expected.

He didn't expect Liverpool's burst of combat power to be so amazing!

Until he can make the right substitution, Tottenham must admit it!

So Tottenham began to retreat all the way, slowing down the pace of the game, very slowly, as if they had resigned themselves to their fate, delaying the smooth flow of the game, letting the time pass silently, and then ending the game.

Tottenham's lack of momentum and fighting spirit on the pitch made Tottenham fans even more frustrated, and the cheering atmosphere in the stands at White Hart Lane turned into Liverpool overshadowing the home team.

In the 38th minute of the game, Qin Xiong set up a gun for Gerrard on the left side in front of the penalty area, and Gerrard completed a high-quality shot under the cover of Torres's running to contain the defenders!

Gomez made a world-class save as he made a lateral save to keep the ball out of bounds.

Tottenham fans shook their heads slightly.

"Oh hell, he didn't let the opponent score again, but why after 0:2? What was he doing at 0:0? ”

Gerrard's corner kick created chaos in the penalty area, and the football was blocked by Héctor outside the box, where Qin Xiong lay in ambush, not expecting to get a godsend. He rushed forward to shoot at the goal, Modric desperately blocked with his body, Qin Xiong nimbly dipped the ball past Modric, and then took advantage of the situation to rub his left foot into the far post.

In order to deliberately bypass the dense human flesh wall in the penalty area, Qin Xiong's rubbing shot made the football arc and bypass the heads of everyone.

However, the ball eventually grazed the outside of the goal post and flew out of the bottom line.

"What a pity! Qin Xiong's shot missed the goal, just a little bit! If the goal can be scored. Liverpool will completely destroy the confidence of Tottenham! ”

'It's a pity it didn't go in, I don't understand what Redknapp is doing, Tottenham is not that kind of team, they can play an earth-shattering goal battle against Arsenal and they won't surrender on their knees, the opponent is Liverpool, and they have no reason to retreat when there is still time.

"Maybe Redknapp has his own calculations, we'll just have to wait and see."

Tottenham's retreat left Torres with little room to play, while Liverpool's midfield was freed. Alonso could have run up and play long-range shots, but unfortunately he lacked goalscoring luck.

Lennon and Defoe were able to get one of the few counter-attacking opportunities up front, but they would be drowned in Liverpool's frantic defensive strangulation at the back, with isolation being the biggest problem, dribbling to a dead end without a target or simply irresponsibly crossing to make Tottenham's counter-attack unthreatening.

Before the end of the first half, Qin Xiong crossed 45 degrees from the left, and the ball was hoisted into the back of the box again, and Kuyt fell in the box when he stepped forward to nod the ball into the back of the goal.

He knelt on the ground and complained to referee Dodd that he had been pulled by Palacios and that his shirt had been pulled and his body was unbalanced. But the referee Dodd chose to turn a blind eye, as if he had not heard his accusations.

Two fouls in the box at White Hart Lane? And within 45 minutes. It also requires a lot of courage on the part of the referee and the ability to control the emotions of the players on both sides of the game.

Obviously, Dodd, the youngest enforcer in the Premier League, is still a little tender, he doesn't want to be yelled at by Tottenham fans at White Hart Lane to tear him apart, and Liverpool is already two goals ahead, whether Kuyt's fall in the dense crowd just now was fouled. Just open one eye and close one eye, the right eye that opened didn't see it.

The first half was over, and in the first round of the new Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur was 2-0 down to Liverpool at White Hart Lane, with Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard scoring goals each. We'll give you a detailed review of the first half later, and I have to say that I would expect a decent performance from Tottenham in the second half, otherwise they will be Liverpool's first trophy after a series of revolutions such as a change of manager at the club. ”

Tottenham fans left the stands in a state of apprehension and disappointment, with the elder Redknapp giving the order before entering the tunnel.

Crouch goes to warm up!

Koeman, on the other hand, walked back to the dressing room with his head held high with his head held high.

As the Reds players walked into the visiting dressing room one by one, assistant coach Sammy Lee patted each player on the shoulder with palpable excitement and silently praised their first-half performance.

Sitting in the dressing room, Coman began by saying to Torres: "Fernando, the first half was a great goal, but you have to run harder, find a space and take advantage of it, trust your team-mates, they will create countless chances for you, I believe you feel that. ”

Torres smiled confidently and with a little shyness, and nodded firmly.

'Steven, good but a little bit more laterally in front of the box, the faster we move laterally in attack, the more difficult it is for Tottenham, we almost smashed the Tottenham defence to smithereens, we can do that, I believe you!'

Gerard said solemnly, "No problem! ”

Koeman turned his gaze to Kuyt and said seriously: "Dirk, you missed a chance, I won't talk about that anymore because your aggressive defence provided a strong dominant contribution to our midfield, continue to work hard in the second half, and if you don't have a sure shot, look at your team-mates' positions before that and create chances for your teammates is also a great quality and ability. ”

Kuyt took a sip to wipe his sweat and nodded without hesitation.

'Xavi, you made our midfield run like a perfect machine, flawless, and held on in the second half.

Alonso silently accepted it with a look of honor and disgrace.

When Coman looked at Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong was also looking at Koman.

Perhaps Qin Xiong was curious about what Coman would say to him, and his teammates thought the same way.

But Coman and Qin Xiong did not speak, forcing Qin Xiong to take the initiative to make an inquiring expression, Koeman's lips moved slightly, as if he was a little helpless and said: "Qin Xiong, be more careful in the second half, the players of the Tottenham team are eager to drag you into the dark alley and punch and kick you until you are dying." ”

Qin Xiong was dumbfounded, and when his teammates burst into laughter, he almost wanted to burst into foul language! (To be continued.) )
