Chapter 154: Battle White Deer Lane
On January 21, 2013, in the 23rd round of the 2012/13 English Premier League, a key match was fought at White Hart Lane, against Manchester United, who are currently in first place in the Premier League standings, and Tottenham Hotspur, the second in the league.
Tottenham have won away from home for the first time in 23 years this season, their only win in their last 27 meetings with the Reds, with 20 wins and six draws in their other 26 games.
Tottenham are also looking to beat Manchester United twice in the league for the first time since the 1989/90 season, having last beaten them at home in 2001.
Although it was the focus of the championship, when the game began, the two teams did not play conservatively at all, and Tottenham Hotspur at home took the lead in the sixth minute, and a long-range shot from front of the Degan penalty area was blocked by Frei on the goal line.
It's a pity that he didn't score a goal, but Digan felt that he was in very good shape today after completing this shot, in the eleventh minute, Parker, who started the game, broke through and passed the ball to Modric, after Modric got the ball, before he could turn around, he was hit by Ferdinand who pounced from behind him and knocked him down, and the referee directly awarded a free kick, but refused to show Ferdinand a yellow card, which made the Tottenham players on the field and the Tottenham fans in the stands very dissatisfied, For a while, there were boos.
It's a pity that the referee's decision could not be changed, and then Degan's free kick, although it bypassed the human wall, even Frei basically gave up, but it hit the corner of the goal crossbar and the post, popping up the bottom line, and Tottenham missed another good opportunity to score.
After withstanding Tottenham's onslaught after the opening kick-off, Manchester United also began to fight back, and in the thirteenth minute of the game, Phil. Jones took the ball on the side, ran more than ten meters later, and then crossed, this season's top scorer of Manchester United Van Persie went around to Gallas, jumped high to head the goal, but unfortunately the angle was there, the power was insufficient, and Lloris got it.
After Lloris got up, he threw the ball directly to attack, Hutton passed, Lennon's left-footed shot at the top of the box after cutting inside on the right was saved by Frei, and Degan, who tried to make up the shot, was ruled offside, but in slow motion, when Lennon shot, there was at least two positions between Deegan and Vidic, who was dragging behind.
In the 21st minute, Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick, who faced his old club again, tackled Modric from behind when he was defending, and this time the referee did not relent, and directly showed a yellow card.
Probably the referee also saw that if he didn't give a little color to look at, the game would go in a direction that no one could estimate.
On the field, the speed of both teams is very fast, and on the kang, it is completely a real knife and a real gun, and the scene of people turning over on their backs is constant, it can be seen that for this game, the players on both sides are holding back a lot of energy, once this strength evolves into a full martial arts, it will be difficult to clean up.
The exciting battle between the two sides continues, and for neutral fans, such a game is undoubtedly a great enjoyment, but for fans on both sides of the game, it is a thrilling special experience.
When the game reached the twenty-fifth minute, the deadlock on the field was broken, the first goal was scored by Manchester United, Welbeck made a diagonal pass on the side, Cleverley crossed from the right side of the penalty area, at this time Tottenham's defense had a serious mistake, Gallas, who should have been next to Van Persie, suddenly crashed in his head, and the unguarded Van Persie went out of the edge of the small penalty area from afar, and directly headed the goal, although Lloris's reaction was very fast, but Van Persie's header was too close, He is also powerless.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!”
Smith immediately showed off his hand, and then sang his praises to Van Persie, who was celebrating with his teammates on the court.
"Glory! Glory to Tottenham! Glorious! Glory to Tottenham! ”
The Tottenham fans at the scene did not show any disappointment when they saw the team conceding the goal, but sang the Tottenham team song loudly to encourage the players.
With the score behind, Tottenham immediately began to counterattack, and in the 27th minute, Lennon passed the ball and a cold shot from the right side of the Degan penalty area was saved by Frei again in the near corner.
In this game, Frei's form came very quickly, perhaps because he faced an old friend again, the last time at Old Trafford, Frei lost to Degan, and since then, he has been unwilling, and now the time has come to fight back.
After taking the lead, Manchester United also began to consciously shrink the defensive line, Ferguson is now finally sober, and can no longer look at the Tottenham team with the old eyes of the past, and now Tottenham has the ability and confidence to compete with BIGFOUR.
Against Tottenham, Ferguson must also be careful!
In the 40th minute, Lennon's cross was cleared, but Bale was very fast, rushed over before the Manchester United defenders got the ball, and after holding the ball, he volleyed directly with his right foot in the arc of the penalty area, but unfortunately the power was there, but the angle was a little too positive, and after being blocked by Ferdinand, Frei easily got the ball.
In the ensuing game, although Tottenham tried their best to attack in the hope of equalising before the end of the first half, but Manchester United's defense was too tight, and their attacks were all in vain.
Entering the break, Digan was furious as soon as he returned to the dressing room, and his anger burned directly at Gallas, who made a serious mistake in the first half and caused the team to concede a goal: "You feel that the accolades are enough now?? Is that right? I don't know what you were thinking at the time, but all I can tell you now is that I need team-mates who can be on the pitch, always focused and working hard to win, to go with me to get that damn trophy back for Tottenham! Instructor! I think it's time to make a substitution! ”
Although Digan said this with some suspicion of overstepping, Antienes did not refuse, in fact, he was also a little dissatisfied with Gallas's performance in this game, and there was nothing to hesitate to replace him.
Gallas didn't refute from beginning to end, he knew it was all his fault, if it was when he was at Chelsea or Arsenal before, he would have made a fuss, but at Tottenham, he really didn't have the guts, although he was much older than Degan, but I don't know why, he just had a fear of Degan.
At halftime, Antienes replaced Gallas with Dawson, and the two sides changed sides in the second half, only 35 seconds into the beginning, Lennon dribbled the ball on the side, and after encountering a block, he sent a direct through pass, Modric pulled to the side, received the ball on the right side of the penalty area, and then crossed directly, although Digan followed up in time, but Frei's reaction was also very fast, and the ball was snatched away halfway.
The Reds, of course, were not on the defensive, and in the 47th minute, United's Japanese star Shinji Kagawa returned a pass and Welbeck's shot from near the penalty spot was blocked by Dembele who had returned to the box.
In the 49th minute, Bale's left-footed volley from the edge of the box on the left side was deflected wide again.
In the 51st minute, after Dembele and Digan collided with the wall, they broke through the pass, and Modric, who followed up, stabbed the shot and was blocked by Frei with his legs.
In the 52nd minute, Welbeck broke through from the left and crossed, Shinji Kagawa fired a low shot from the edge of the box, and then Van Persie fell into the offside trap in succession.
In the 63rd minute, Ferguson replaced Shinji Kagawa, who had been inactive for half the game, and immediately after coming on the field, Rooney got a good chance, he took the ball, turned and burst into the right side of the penalty area, fell under Vertonghen's defense, and the referee ignored it, which caused Ferguson to be very dissatisfied, waving his arms and shouting on the sidelines, it was clear that he thought it was a penalty, an undisputed penalty.
It's a pity that the old man's protest did not get enough attention, the game continued, in the 66th minute, Dembele passed, Digan shot on the edge of the penalty area was blocked, and the continuous shot did not score, so that Digan also looked very depressed, he felt very good, but unfortunately the luck was really bad, this is also a helpless thing, his recent performance, Ferguson just wants not to pay attention to it, this game specially arranged Ferdinand to guard him tightly.
When the game entered the 78th minute, the score was still 0:1, and the Tottenham team at home was behind, this is a battle related to the final title of the season, Antienes can not afford to lose, if he wants to win the long-awaited league title in his first season in charge of Tottenham, this game must not be lost.
At this moment, Digan retreated to the midfield to get the ball, and Modric saw this, and immediately passed the ball to the feet of Digan, who received the ball and turned and pounced towards the United penalty area.
Ferguson was shocked when he saw this scene on the sidelines, of course he knew that Degan was terrible, a Degan who fully exerted his speed advantage, and no one could stop him.
"Stop him! Stop him! Can't let him shoot! ”
Ferdinand pounced on him at the first time, but unfortunately although his speed was not slow and his body was still strong, he was super big. Change. In front of Di Gan, Ferdinand's little reliance was not enough at all.
Swinging the ball sideways and getting rid of it, Degan's movements appeared unusually chic, and Ferdinand was shaken so that he lost his center and almost fell to the ground.
As the most valuable centre-back in the history of the Premier League, such a scene is really embarrassing.
Ferdinand was also annoyed, and while turning around, he directly rounded his arm and hit Digan, although he failed to hit Digan, he hooked Digan's clothes, and dragged him to the ground with a force on his hand.
Beep~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The referee's whistle sounded, not allowing Ferdinand to distinguish it, and sent a red card directly, although Ferdinand's foul action was not bad, and he was not the last defender of Manchester United, but when Digan broke through just now, there was no one in front of him, which was a great opportunity to score.
Seeing that he was shown a red card, Ferdinand, who was already hot, couldn't hold it back, snatched the red card from the referee's hand, and then threw it in the referee's face.
Cow B!
Degan's eyes were straight, he was crazy, but he had never behaved like this! This name is the rhythm of looking for death!
Rio Ferdinand was ejected from the pitch and the riots on the pitch were quelled, Deegan stood in front of the ball, and with the referee's whistle, Deegan ran a few steps before kicking the ground with his left foot, rounding his right leg, praising his strength and volleying hard.
At that moment, it was as if a bomb had been detonated on the field, shaking people's eardrums, and the speed of the football was so fast that it went directly around the top of the human wall, and then fell rapidly, and Frey had no way to make a correct judgment about the ball, so he could only pounce on the left side of his body like a gamble.
Frey was right, but so what?
Degan's free-kick was so fast that before Frei's hand could reach for it, it grazed the post and spun in.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!” Smith's duplicitous man started yelling again, "Deagan! Degan! Degan! Degan! Degan! It was Deegan who scored the goal, and it was Degan again, who saved Tottenham Hotspur again at the end of the game, a wonderful free kick, even if Frei judged the right direction, but Degan's shot was too fast! Pretty! Pretty! ”
After the goal, Digan did not celebrate, but rushed directly into the Manchester United goal, grabbed the ball in front of Frey, held the ball in his arms, and then ignored Frey's obstruction, held the ball to the center circle and put the ball away.
"Referee! It's time to get started! ”
The referee has froze, and he has already equalized the score, why are he still so eager!?
Is it not satisfied with a draw, you must know that the opponent is Manchester United!
Is Deegan trying to seize the moment, score another goal, and seal the rhythm of the win?
At this time, the stoppage time sign was also displayed on the sidelines, a total of three minutes, which was enough!
Manchester United was also taken by Degan's momentum, and in the next game, a comprehensive retrenchment defense began, and the injury time was about to come to an end, at this time, Lennon suddenly broke the ball in the front, and then drove straight into the heart of Manchester United.
Dangerous!
