Volume 1 Chapter 397 This Is Football!
"Come on, brave Tottenham Hotspur warriors"
"We only need to win, we only need to win"
Thunderous shouts rang out at Goodison Park, and although there were very few Tottenham Hotspur fans who came to the stadium, their shouts were heard throughout the stadium, and everyone was shocked by the tenacity of their fighting spirit.
The players on the pitch saw this scene, saw the manager on the sidelines who had become hideous because of his roar, looked at the group of coaches who stood on the sidelines to give them support and encouragement, and the group of teammates who fought side by side with them and shared the glory and disgrace, and then looked at the group of Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stands who always supported the team.
"Damn, we fought with them"
I don't know who shouted such a sentence first, and I saw that all the Tottenham Hotspur players on the field rushed up, and the players who seemed to be unable to run just now are now gritting their teeth and rushing, grabbing, and running.
Beckham is the calmest, he is the only veteran in the team, he does not listen to the running, but at the same time keeps reminding his teammates not to blindly mess with themselves, but to continue to play in order.
During a frontcourt scramble, Messi collided with Phil Neville and fell on the pitch, he was covered in sweat, and his long hair was soaked with the Argentine player's signature long hair, he had never been so tired, and he had never felt this kind of despair, without even a trace of strength in his body.
Will it be a draw?
He looked at the night sky at Goodison Park, with no stars in sight, only glare lights, and asked himself.
He was not reconciled, he was not willing to let his team draw like this, because he felt that Tottenham Hotspur could win and should win
Why is it a draw? For what?
No one noticed Messi lying on the ground, the Tottenham Hotspur players were crazy, they were all fighting red-eyed, and the Everton players were also crazy, they felt that they were facing a group of crazy lions, and they could only follow the madness.
All that was left of the stadium at Goodison Park was the shouts of everyone up and down Tottenham Hotspur.
"Don't give up, there's still time, come on" Ye Qiu's shout reached Messi's ears.
The voice of the man, who was supposed to have a little magnetism, was now hoarse, perhaps because he had shouted too much and shouted too loudly in the few minutes just now, so his vocal cords were damaged
Turning his head sideways, Messi saw Ye Qiu, who was stopped by the fourth official, but kept shouting at the field, he suddenly remembered something, he played under Ye Qiu in Chelsea for two years, and the picture of Ye Qiu's guidance to him appeared in his mind like a movie.
"Remember, boy, never blame yourself for what you lost, because you can always lose for one reason, and that is that you are not good enough, as long as you do well enough, no matter what you are facing, you can win"
"Do you know the truth? The human body is the strangest, because no one knows what the limit of oneself is, and many times, we feel that we can't do it, we really can't do it, and we are going to die. For what reason, you will feel like you are going to die if you run two more steps
"It's your laziness that deceives you, it's telling you that you've done well, that's enough, it's time to rest, but now we should ask ourselves, is it really enough? Are we willing? If you feel that enough is enough, if you feel willing, then so be it, let laziness control your mind, and over time, you will become a bunch of lazy people."
"If you don't feel enough, if you feel unwilling, then you should remove laziness from your mind, stand up bravely, and tell yourself that I am okay"
"No one knows where our limit is, because many times, when we think we have reached the limit, as long as we grit our teeth, as long as we don't compromise with slack and laziness, bravely tell ourselves, and continue to persevere, then we can break through the limit and go to the next limit."
"Promise me, guys, don't give up easily, no matter what time of day, no matter what difficulties you encounter"
I don't know what Lu Dao is about, Messi's words came to Ye Qiu's mind, recalling all the help Ye Qiu had given him in the past, and even when Messi didn't get a chance at Chelsea, couldn't get a game, and wanted to transfer to Barcelona, but he was said to have no place and refused to pay the pitiful transfer fee of more than three million euros for him, when he desperately called Ye Qiu for advice, he kept encouraging the Argentines not to give up
Don't give up
Yes, he did not give up
So he survived that season without the ball, he waited for Ye Qiu, waited for Tottenham Hotspur, waited for the opportunity to regain the light, he felt that he had finally survived, and he could finally get the opportunity to prove his strength again and again.
Now, he is used to starting, but he is a little slack.
At this moment, lying on the grass at Goodison Park, he recalled his past, and in less than a dozen seconds, all this past appeared in his mind like a slide.
"Don't give up on what I can do"
Messi shouted out of his mouth and got up from the ground, he could feel his legs shaking because of the weakness, but he didn't listen to tell himself that these were all hallucinations, all the feelings that the brain was deceiving him, and he could overcome them
Soon, he stood up straight, and then he saw that his teammates were all fighting red, and Alves in the distance seemed to have turned his feet, sitting on the ground and struggling to get up, but he fell back again, holding his right foot, his face was covered with sweat, and he couldn't tell whether he was crying or not, but his expression was very painful.
In this trance, a shout suddenly came from the side, "Leo"
Fabregas was forced by Everton's midfielder Osman to run to the right and seek support.
Messi raised his hand, and the ball passed from the feet of Cesc Fabregas to Messi's feet, and then Cesc Fabregas fell to the ground, looking like he could no longer get up.
The ball is very light, but as soon as it stops at Messi's feet, it makes him feel very heavy and heavy, and he seems to feel that the heavy ball is not full of gas, but hope, from Fabregas who fell to the ground, from Alves who hugged his leg and cried, from Ye Qiu, who shouted hoarsely on the sidelines, and from all the hope of Tottenham Hotspur.
The ball is like sticking to Messi's feet, the moment he stops the ball, there is only one thought in his mind, to continue this hope, no one wants to snatch the ball from his feet, not even to kill him.
Phil Neville and Osman wanted to join forces, but Messi grabbed ahead of Phil Neville, gently slammed the ball to the left with his right foot, avoided Neville's tackle, and then quickly cut forward from his side.
Osman also reacted quickly, immediately attached Messi, and ran forward with him, but what Osman didn't expect at all was that Messi suddenly made a sharp stop and buckled the ball to the inside after starting the explosive power and passing Phil Neville.
Messi accelerated again after deducting Osman, and rushed forward with the ball diagonally, very fast, directly leaving Osman and Phil Neville behind, and Osman, who reacted, didn't even have time to pull his jersey.
Soon Messi hit the front of the penalty area, facing the snatching of Yabo, the Nigerian central defender spotted an opportunity, judged Messi's rhythm and step point, and wanted to cut off the ball with his feet, but who would have thought that Messi suddenly changed direction and dunked the ball, dunking the ball past Yabo, and his left foot was to take advantage of the situation to dunk the ball, avoiding Lescott who was next to Yabo.
The short Messi is like a small but slippery loach, passing between the two strong men of Yabo and Lescott, and entering the penalty area, and even now, everyone is still dumbfounded, unable to accept what they see in front of them, this little man in a Tottenham Hotspur shirt, is it really the Messi who has fallen to the ground just now?
entered the penalty area and formed a single knife, but Messi had no way to think about what was around him, he stared ahead, what he saw was Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard, so he deliberately beat Howard into thinking that he was going to get up, but in fact he pulled the ball to the right with his right foot.
Howard, who fell to the ground, watched Messi take the ball past him, and he wanted to pull Messi's leg, in this case, he was a single knife to stop him, maybe a penalty, but there was still a chance
But Messi quickly swept past him, didn't give him a chance to shoot, and then paddled the ball with his right foot
Even if Everton's midfielders and defenders were quick to return to the defensive position, they could only choose to watch the ball cross the goal line and hit the inside side net on the left side of the goal.
There was a deathly silence at Goodison Park, and everyone, including the referee, watched in amazement, and in the last minute, a miracle suddenly befell Tottenham Hotspur
No one can imagine what kind of force made the Argentine teenager Messi, who was still on the ground and couldn't get up just now, suddenly seemed to be possessed by Maradona's soul, passing five Everton players in a row, and scoring such a goal that was almost enough to ⊥ him go down in history.
Messi apparently didn't notice if he had scored or not, he collapsed on the sidelines after his last shot, never to get up again, and the game was actually over after he scored
Beep
The referee's whistle sounded crisply at Goodison Park, and at this moment, everyone in the audience suddenly remembered that they had scored, and they had scored
As a result, all the fans in the stadium, whether it was Tottenham Hotspur fans, or even many Everton fans, rushed out of their seats, cheering with great excitement and excitement, and bursting out into the most enthusiastic cheers since the opening of the game.
Perhaps, their positions are relative, but their love for football, their appreciation and admiration for football skills, are the same, so Messi's five-man goal not only conquered Tottenham Hotspur fans, but also completely conquered all Everton fans.
Ye Qiu on the sidelines suddenly came to his senses at the moment when the whistle sounded, and he kept waving his fists with an extremely excited expression, shouting and cheering loudly with his mouth wide open on the sidelines, and all the assistants around him also rushed up in one go, surrounding him in the middle, and everyone let out a cry full of surprise and amazement.
The Tottenham Hotspur players on the pitch rushed to Messi one by one, and no one expected that the Argentine youngster was lying on the ground, and the first thing he said after seeing his teammates was, "Did the ball go in?" ”
Presumably, even now, his mind is still blank, and he has even forgotten whether he has scored a goal or not.
Van Persie fished the ball out of the goal and gently put it next to Messi, "Take it back, frame it, it will be the proudest goal of your life, our Maradona"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, and then it was Ribery who pulled Messi up and punched him hard, "You stinky boy, when did you learn such a hand, five people in a row, oh my God."
And just when everyone was excited, they saw Beckham suddenly break away from his teammates, rushed to the sidelines, lying on the billboard with both hands, and spit out, this scene made the surrounding teammates frightened and hurriedly ran up.
"It's okay, it's okay" Beckham spat out tears and snot, which Beckham, who has always loved beauty and took care of his image, must not be exposed, so he still faced the billboard, not letting people see it, and not letting his teammates approach.
But everyone saw from behind him that he kept throwing up.
Ye Qiu was a little far away, and he asked the team doctor to rush up to take a look, while he himself stood on the sidelines and took the lead in applauding.
This applause is not only for Beckham, for Messi who scored the goal, but also for all the Tottenham Hotspur players, for all the Tottenham fans, for all the Tottenham Hotspur people.
The applause spread from Ye Qiu to the coaching staff and substitute players, to the stands, and then to the whole field.
Both Tottenham Hotspur fans and Everton fans applauded Tottenham Hotspur, and even Everton's coaching staff, including David Moyes, applauded Tottenham Hotspur in a game they lost convincingly.
Perhaps, the score of the game is won or lost, perhaps, the league ranking is high, but there is one thing, both teams have done it, and that is never say die, so they have not lost
The referee saw the situation between Beckham and Tottenham Hotspur, and the stoppage time had already passed, and then asked the captain of Everton, and after getting a positive answer, he directly announced the end of the game.
"The game is finally over" The on-site commentator also felt relieved, there was so much in this game, "Tottenham Hotspur beat Everton away, but we should all see that this is a game without losers, and even I personally think it is the most exciting game in the Premier League so far this season"
"What we see is that two excellent teams are playing selflessly, even at the end of the game, they have not given up their dedication and pursuit of victory, even in the last second of the game, they have not slackened at all."
"In this game, we saw Tottenham Hotspur's attacking football, we also saw Everton's tenacious will formed by the defensive forest, we saw both Leo Messi's five men possessed by Maradona, and Beckham fought to the last moment, vomiting on the sidelines."
"Perhaps, there are many people who think that Beckham is a star more than a star, but I believe that as long as everyone sees this scene, as long as they watch this game, they will not have such a feeling, because in this game, we see no star Beckham, only a dedicated professional player Beckham
"Tottenham Hotspur is a good team, we can't forget, in the final stage of the game, Ye Qiu rushed to the sidelines, full of hideous, hoarse shouting at the players in the stadium, cheering for them, telling them not to give up the scene, we can't forget the scene of all the Tottenham Hotspur coaching staff, substitute players and fans in the stands cheering for the team."
"Perhaps, everyone has a different concept of a strong team, some people are based on the number of champions, some people are based on the game scene, and some people are very casual, as long as they like it, they can be said to be a strong team, but this game, Tottenham Hotspur's football style, and their never-say-die fighting spirit from top to bottom, everyone emerges, in my opinion, they are a strong team"
'Of course, Everton have reason to regret the defeat, they are also a very good team, Moyes has spent a few years to build Everton really good, so we also hope that Everton can get out of this defeat soon and try to bring us more and better games.'
"Here, we also wish Tottenham Hotspur, hope that Ye Qiu and his team can achieve their dream this season and finally reach the top four in the league, and even we hope that Ye Qiu can lead his team to become stronger and stronger, and eventually become the top team in the Premier League."
Even though it's at Goodison Park, even though it's playing away from home, no one thinks there's anything wrong with the on-field commentators praising Tottenham Hotspur like that, because when you're really beaten by a team and you're convinced, any praise for that team is a recognition of you.
But that doesn't mean Goodison Park will be out of spirit, at least in the stands after the game, Everton fans unfurled their own banners and slogans, which read, "Next time Goodison, this will be your hell"
"Wait, Tottenham, we'll get revenge"
"Someday, we'll drop you at White Hart Lane, a shame on you"
That's football
That's football
