Volume 1 Chapter 421 There Can Only Be One Winner!

Beckham took a few deep breaths of air, trying to stabilize his breathing and heartbeat, this is the experience he has accumulated when taking free kicks all year round, because even the heartbeat and breathing may affect the quality of a free kick, so it is necessary to rely on practice, repeatedly, and accumulate more experience over time.

Only in this way can we find a way to maximize the power of free kicks.

After Beckham took a few deep breaths, the referee slowly retreated, and the opponent set up a human wall in the penalty area, while everyone at Tottenham Hotspur was strangled with Chelsea players in the penalty area, making the entire narrow penalty area completely turned into a muscle forest and a meat grinder.

Not only all the fans in the stadium, but all the fans who watched this game in the world were looking at Beckham, watching the England superstar wearing the Tottenham Hotspur shirt to see how he would make a choice, whether to play himself or pass the ball?

As the referee's whistle blew, Beckhanham rushed forward quickly, and all the Tottenham Hotspur players in the penalty area, including Hangrande, Thiago Silva and others, quickly pressed back.

This is a logical idea, because the penalty position of this set-piece, because of the existence of the human wall, so the maneuverability of hitting the back point is higher than the front point, so when all the main set-piece attack points of Tottenham Hotspur are pressed to the back, Chelsea players including goalkeeper Hilario, Terry, Bolaruz and others are disturbed.

John Terry reacted the quickest, and he was the first to realise that something was wrong, because he felt that Ruud van Nistelrooy was not pressing back, so he wanted to rush in and block Ruud van Nistelrooy, because his instinct told him that something was wrong with the Dutch striker.

But just as he wanted to move, he saw a figure flash in front of him, Ribery shook in front of him, blocking his way, and Vanney next to him quickly ran to the front point.

What happened next left everyone stunned, as David Beckham's free-kick passed over the wall and plummeted to the near post, where Ruud van Nistelrooy rushed up and fired a shot straight into the bottom right corner of the net.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL”

'Ruud van Nistelrooy was assisted by a free-kick from David Beckham, who scored his 32nd league goal of the season in the 43rd minute to equalise for Tottenham'

In an exclamation from Andy Gray, Ruud van Nistelrooy quickly rushed out of the Chelsea penalty area and rushed to Beckham, who had already rushed out of the pitch with his excitement, and the two directly exchanged warm hugs on the sidelines, and all the players up and down Tottenham Hotspur also rushed up and celebrated around them, even including goalkeeper Cech at the back.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, the arc of this kick is really beautiful, the landing point is also very good, the speed is just right, as soon as Vanney comes up, he directly sweeps his legs, and the ball goes in, and just now Tottenham Hotspur obviously has a move to cover for Vanney"

Andy Grey seemed equally excited, because the goal from Tottenham Hotspur made the game full of suspense again and made everyone rediscover the passion of the game.

Since Tottenham Hotspur lost the goal, the game has been deliberately pulled by Tottenham Hotspur, and the atmosphere in the stadium has been controlled very depressingly, and everyone seems to feel a breath in their hearts, as if their fists have been raised well, and all their strength has been gathered, but this fist is not able to swing it for a long time.

Now, the punch is out of the way, and it's a one-hit hit

Richard Keith was watching the slow-motion replay of the game, "We saw that Tottenham Hotspur was a conscious free-kick combination, and when Beckham made a free throw, everyone pressed back together, but Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was originally standing in the middle of the back, suddenly rushed forward, which was indeed a big surprise to everyone." ”

"Yes" Andy Gray also thought Tottenham's free-kick combination was interesting, "Goalkeeper Hilario was clearly disturbed by Tottenham's defenders, otherwise he would have been able to get the ball when he attacked, and Terry seemed to be aware of Ruud van Nistelrooy's move, but Tottenham's Ribery went to block him and delayed. ”

Richard Kiesharuha smiled and praised: "It's this time, it's too good to block, Terry's defense of Vanney in this game is very good, almost no chance for Vanney to get the ball, but this time Ribery blocked, Vanney was alone, and he shot directly, the Dutch center's ability to grasp the opportunity is indeed very, very good, it doesn't need more, one chance can score, so the name of the king of the penalty area is not blown out"

Andy Gray nodded, "Ruud van Nistelrooy's efficiency is indeed very high, in the top scorers of major European leagues this season, Ruud van Nistelrooy's scoring efficiency is really high, getting a total of 98 shots on goal, scoring league goals for the team, and even in many of Tottenham's more difficult games, Ruud van Nistelrooy may just use two or three shots to score." ”

"Relatively speaking, we see other top goalscorers in Europe, whether it is Samuel Eto'o in Barcelona, Diego Forlan in Villarreal, Totti in Serie A Roma, etc., if you look at shooting efficiency, they are far inferior to Ruud van Nistelrooy, and the Dutch center forward is indeed the most ferocious predator in Europe at the moment."

"It is reported that after the sale of Ronaldo this season, several teams such as Real Madrid, who are desperately short of strikers, and AC Milan in Serie A, are hoping to bring in Ruud van Nistelrooy, and the Dutch centre-forward, who will turn 31, has indeed had a surprisingly good performance at Tottenham Hotspur."

Richard Keith smiled after hearing this, "I think Tottenham Hotspur will not sell their leading striker casually, at present, Van Nistelrooy is in such good shape, Van Persie, Carroll, Cavani and other players are generally young, especially Van Persie, who is performing very well, but needs to be further matured, so Van Nistelrooy is undoubtedly the guarantee of Tottenham Hotspur's score at present." ”

"At least, Tottenham fans won't want to see the team sell Ruud van Nistelrooy," Andy Gray added with a laugh.

The slow motion of the game kept replaying the celebration of the players and managers of the two teams after Tottenham Hotspur equalized just now, and one of the very interesting scenes was that Ye Qiu turned sideways after the team scored, and shook his fist at Mourinho not far away and roared, his expression was rarely full of provocation.

Relatively speaking, the Portuguese looked angry after the team scored, and when he shook his hand angrily, he saw Ye Qiu clenching his fists in celebration, and angrily compared his middle finger to Ye Qiu, and the fourth official saw it and immediately ran over to warn him, thinking that this was obviously beyond the scope of the head coach, and he must have written it into the game report.

In this way, the Portuguese were so angry that they turned around and kicked the level in front of him far away, venting the anger in their hearts.

"The situation is really good for Tottenham Hotspur, as long as they draw and they can secure a top-four qualification and position, so I believe that after the equaliser, the pressure will be eased

Andy Gray was talking when he apparently received the news all of a sudden, "Eh, we received the news, we were so surprised, Manchester United, Manchester United were temporarily behind Portsmouth at 0 away, and Redknapp's side were two goals ahead of Manchester United in the first half, which is really surprising."

"Really? What happened to Manchester United? At the crucial moment of winning the championship, he conceded two goals in the first half? Is it too stressful? "Richard Keith couldn't believe it because it was a crucial moment to win the championship.

"Maybe it's really too much pressure, Manchester United has been entangled with Chelsea this season, the points of both teams have been very tight, especially after being reversed by Chelsea in the second half, Manchester United has been under a lot of pressure, but Ferguson's team has been chasing Chelsea, and now it's the last moment, maybe it's really a little unbearable." Andy Gray sighed.

Everything can happen on the football field, this kind of collapse at a critical moment in the last round, Manchester United is not the first, and it will not be the last, so there is nothing to explain, the only thing that can be given may only be regret.

'If the current situation continues, Chelsea can win the title with a draw, and Tottenham Hotspur obviously don't need to try to score anymore because a draw is acceptable for them, so will the two sides play more relaxed in the second half?'

Andy Grey's wording is more cautious, he will not say that it is a tacit goal, because in the current situation, whether it is for Chelsea or Tottenham Hotspur, it is acceptable to accept a draw like this, so the two sides will adopt a more cautious and conservative strategy.

As for Manchester United, you can only say that you are not angry, who made you the most decisive winner in the last round, and you actually fell behind by two goals in the first half? Isn't this a bargain for Chelsea?

With Andy Gray's analysis, news soon came one after another.

'Oh my God, in the last moments, in the worst stoppage time of the first half, Reading equalised, and a shot from midfielder Gunnarson helped Reading temporarily draw Liverpool at home, which is really a twist and turn."

"But at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal were also at the bottom of the first half, when West Ham striker Carlos Tevez scored a goal for the Hammers to give the visitors a 0-0 lead over Arsenal in the first half."

"The whole situation in the Premier League is completely messed up now, according to the real-time standings of the first half, Chelsea are undoubtedly ahead of Manchester United, temporarily at the top of the table, Manchester United second, Tottenham Hotspur third, Liverpool fourth, and Arsenal are still fifth, except for the top substitution in the league, nothing else has changed"

"Oh my God, this season's Premier League is going to be suspenseful to the end," Richard Keith said with a smile on his excitement: "I have been commenting on football for so many years, and I have never seen a season as chaotic and complicated as this season. ”

"Now the key to all the games depends on this game between Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, if it is drawn like this, Chelsea's title is secure, Tottenham Hotspur is also the first time in its Premier League history to qualify for the Champions League, and Manchester United is in the last round, unlucky to lose the league title"

Andy Gray laughed after hearing this, "I also think it's a mess, but it's only the first half now, although Ferguson's team is two goals behind, but with Manchester United's attacking power, it is not difficult to come back in the second half, and even Liverpool and Arsenal may turn the situation around, so the pressure is a little tilted towards Chelsea now." ”

Tottenham Hotspur will now qualify with a draw, while Chelsea will have to worry about whether United will be able to reverse or even equalise, and if they equalise, the title will still belong to Manchester United.

"We have no way back"

In the dressing room of the home team at Stamford Bridge, Jose Mourinho's powerful words reached the ears of all the players present.

Everyone looked up at the Portuguese, no matter how unconvinced they were with Mourinho, no matter what opinions they had about Mourinho in their hearts, but at this moment, all of them were destined to resolve all grievances and grievances and work together to fight for the team's fourth consecutive title.

'Don't expect Manchester United to lose like this, because that's the Red Devils, it's not a dead fish to be slaughtered, they're going to resist, they're going to do everything they can to fight against the opponent, to equalise or even to reverse, so a draw is not safe for us, it's not even acceptable.'

Jose Mourinho mobilised all the Chelsea players as soon as he came in because he knew that the last 45 minutes were the key and everyone had to work together to play the last 45 minutes well for the team to win.

"We don't think that the opponent will give us the title for nothing, we have to work hard to fight for it, so in the second half we have to continue to insist on the midfield pressing tactics, we have to continue to strengthen the attack, we have to break the Tottenham Hotspur goal in the shortest possible time, and play the last battle for our four consecutive titles."

"Believe me, I know that you are all tired, I know that you are under a lot of pressure now, but as long as we get through, as long as all of us grit our teeth and get through, the final victory will definitely belong to us

"If you get through this, all of you here will be the great heroes who will make English football history"

'Trust me, Chelsea won't be willing to settle for a draw'

In the away team's locker room, Ye Qiu also stood in the center of the locker room, surrounded by sweaty players, but his expression was not as excited as Mourinho, and his tone was relatively calm, giving people a very confident feeling.

"I know Jose Mourinho too well, he can't accept losing, so he has to make excuses when he loses, and this game for them, even if it's a draw, can't find any excuses, and Mourinho never likes to give his fate to others, he likes to take the initiative."

Ye Qiu was also analyzing the current situation and situation, especially the current situation of the enemy and us.

'David and Lut's set-piece in the first half took all the pressure off us and we just need a draw to make sure we reach our goals for the season, so I hope all of you don't have too much pressure and no mental baggage when you get back on the pitch.

'The pressure is on our opponents, they have to worry about the situation at Manchester United at all times, they have to be distracted by whether Manchester United will turn the tide, so they will continue to put pressure on us, and all we need to do is continue to use the tired tactics, continue to use possession to move the opponent to run and drain their energy.

Some people may say that Tottenham Hotspur's set-piece score in the last moments of the first half was very coincidental and lucky, but in fact, Ye Qiu's set-piece tactics have always been in his planning in the past week's preparations, just because in the past week, Tottenham Hotspur refused all interviews, so the outside world did not know at all.

The foul of Bora Luz at the last moment, maybe he didn't mean it himself, but his reaction was a little slower, because his physical consumption was too serious, which was also an important reason why Ye Qiu changed his tactics in his second season in charge of Chelsea.

Adopting this tactic of high-intensity pressing in the midfield is often accompanied by physical exertion, so even a midfielder like Davies has only performed amazingly for more than half a season at Chelsea, and in the second half, his physical fitness began to be insufficient, and even in the second season, his form has declined a lot.

Everything that is good must have disadvantages, and nothing is completely risk-free.

"In the second half if they want to press out, then let them press out, we make sure the team defends and has the ball, if they don't make substitutions, we continue with the tactics of the first half, and if there are substitutions, I will make substitutions as well."

Ye Qiu has even prepared a targeted substitution strategy, if he is not wrong, once Chelsea start the second half is unfavorable, Mourinho will definitely choose to replace a winger, and no matter who he replaces, it will inevitably lead to the weakening of Chelsea's midfield suppressive tactics, because they will have due to excessive physical exertion and lead to a decline in oppression, and one less person will inevitably cause a further rapid decline in oppression.

Mourinho must also understand this truth, so he will not make substitutions at the beginning of the second half, but will adopt a wait-and-see strategy, not as a last resort, he will definitely not shoot, because he can also guess that Ye Qiu also has a targeted card in his hand, that is, Arbeloa, this Spaniard was put on the bench by Ye Qiu, he can play left and right, and can play central defender at the same time.

Ye Qiu talked about his understanding and analysis of Mourinho, and he seemed confident and calm.

'You have to believe me, no matter what the problem, no matter what the situation, even in the second half we were unlucky, it didn't matter if we conceded the goal not long after the start, don't panic, I just watched from the sidelines, I will be able to lead everyone out of Stamford Bridge with my head held high as a winner."

'Because when I decided to go back to the Premier League, when I led you, everyone at Tottenham Hotspur into this stadium, I told myself, I'm not going to lose, I'm not going to draw, I'm going to win'

"I'm going to use a win to tell everyone, to tell Mourinho that even if it's eleven or eleven, he's a loser, a doomed loser"

"So, there can only be one winner in this game, and that's us, Tottenham Hotspur"
