Chapter 20: A Fierce Derby! Lore!
After the referee blows the whistle for the start of the game.
The fans at White Hart Lane Stadium were singing and dancing, and it seemed that they had already begun to celebrate the victory in advance.
Commentators have also praised Boas's tactics.
The camera showed Boas on the sidelines.
'Villas-Boas has clearly found a way to deal with Arsenal, with five defenders plus three midfielders, plus super-fast strikers like Bale and Defoe, two counter-attacks, two goals! And now that Tottenham are ahead, they can be more assured and bold to shrink at the back and look for opportunities to counterattack! β
Andy Gray on the commentary bench said loudly.
In the stands near the stadium, Tottenham fans collectively shouted at the Arsenal players: "Sissies, we fucking fucked you twice in the back of your ass!" β
The sound is so loud.
So much so that many broadcasters didn't have time to silence it.
Many families who are watching this game, mothers are hurriedly covering their children's ears.
But it can't be helped.
On the football field, sometimes swear words are unavoidable.
Such shouts drew a collective cheer from the Tottenham fans in the stadium.
But.
The next second, they had to shut up.
Yelo received the ball when he was forty meters from goal.
Whether it's in the middle or on the wing, there are Arsenal players running.
But Ye Luo took a step forward, and about thirty-eight meters away from the goal, he directly came with a powerful volley!
"Ye Luo shot straight at the goal!"
The narrators roared in surprise.
In the midst of a "sissy" mockery.
The soccer ball flew straight through the air like a cannonball, and there was hardly any spinning soccer ball floating left and right in the air.
Shots from such a distance are not usually considered a threat.
So when Yelo shot, the team building of the Tottenham fans continued.
They didn't feel worried.
It wasn't until the ball was flying in the air that the sound was much quieter.
Syllable!
When the soccer ball hits the crossbar.
All the sounds came to an abrupt end.
Ye Luo shook his head slightly, but he didn't regret that his shot hit the crossbar.
He turned, in the direction of the stands, raised his right hand and raised his index finger, placing it to his mouth.
"Shut up, bastards!"
Yelo unceremoniously made this move towards the Tottenham fans.
Of course.
He was greeted by shrill boos.
But Ye Luo doesn't care.
He doesn't necessarily have any ill feelings towards Tottenham, but he is now Arsenal's captain.
People always have to do something that is in line with their identity.
"Ye Luo! It's dangerous!! The Tottenham Radio commentator exclaimed, relieved to see the ball blocked by the crossbar.
"Leaf beam!! Ahh!!hhhh "Your commentator on the Gunner Radio is holding his head in his hands, which is much more regretful than Ye Luo on the field!
"Nearly forty meters of long shot!! This ball speed, this power, this angle!! Just a little bit!! Anyway, Loris can't do anything about this ball! β
"At the beginning of the second half, Yelo almost helped Arsenal pull a goal back! They had a killing chance at the start of the second half, and it was actually Arsenal's most threatening attack so far! β
'Arsenal seemed to have changed a bit in the second half, they played completely differently than they did in the first half. It may have been what happened in the dressing room at half-time, but we may never know what happened in the Arsenal dressing room for this game."
The locker room is one of the most mysterious places for a team.
Anything that happens in the locker room is usually over in the locker room.
Even if it is a conflict, it will not be allowed to be revealed.
Most of the players who leak the secrets of the locker room are ostracized by the rest of the dressing room.
The commentators were speculating about what was going on in the Arsenal dressing room, and at the same time, they were also regretting that Yelo's shocking long-range shot was blocked by the crossbar.
If the goal goes in.
That's good enough to be at the top of the rankings like "Long Shot of the Year".
The White Hart Lane stadium was silent for several seconds.
At the time of seeing this ball hit the crossbar.
The hearts of many Tottenham fans seem to have been beaten to a halt at this moment.
Many people have cold sweat on their backs.
The smugness on his face turned into horror.
The rest of my life!!
Quite a few people forgot to continue to boo and scold in response to Ye Luo's provocation.
So when Yelo turned to celebrate with his teammates, many Tottenham fans patted their thighs in frustration.
Damn!
He pretended it!
However, Tottenham fans also know that it is not too late to make amends.
After the game restarted, as long as Ye Luo took the ball, the boos of the entire White Hart Lane were so sharp that the eardrums of many reporters in the media seats were trembling, and many people had to open their mouths to relieve the discomfort caused by the huge boos.
Even the onlookers in the stands.
One can imagine how sharp the boos heard by the players on the pitch surrounded by the stands, and how high the decibel levels were.
But Ye Luo behaved as usual.
Perhaps the Tottenham fans at White Hart Lane feel that the atmosphere they have created at this moment is enough to scare all the players.
But this does not include Yelo.
Ye Luo is not a player who has not seen much of the world.
Camp Nou, Bernabeu, Allianz Stadium, San Siro
Which is not higher than White Hart Lane.
Ye Luo was there to give what he wanted.
So the boos of Tottenham fans are basically ineffective against Ye Luo.
It's just Tottenham fans venting their frustration β what's the hell, you're just two goals behind! Just hit the ball on the crossbar and go crazy, hit the crossbar and don't count as a goal, you're still the side behind!
If the previous boos were to vent dissatisfaction, the next boos are said to be anxious about the stress response - the same boo, but can express different emotions.
"Yelo. Cut into the box, pass? No! It's a shot!! GOOOOOOOOAL!!!β
Accompanied by the roar of the narrator.
The Yelo croquettes in the penalty area passed between Vertonghen and Dawson, and then shot straight away!
At this moment, Yelo seemed to be a master of Stoke, and in the dense crowd he found the only way, the ball stuck to the ground and came out of the gap between the players' legs, and by the time Lloris found it, the ball had already slammed into the post.
Unlike the previous shot that was ejected on the crossbar, Ye Luo's push shot hit the inside edge of the post and bounced into the goal!!
"The ball is in!! The ball went in!! Pretty!! Yelo helps Arsenal pull a goal back! β
"Yelo's sudden breakthrough changed the pace of the game, Vertonghen and Dawson closed the door too slowly, Yelo drilled between them, and then pushed a clever kick!"
'Now Arsenal are only one goal behind! Yelo opened his goal account! Mr. Scorer Probably won't be satisfied with just scoring a goal! β
"Yelo finally started to exert his strength, but his breakthrough was not without warning, before this Arsenal players almost turned the Tottenham defence upside down with their flexible movements, and when the Tottenham defence was in disarray, Yelo seized the opportunity to complete the breakthrough and shoot and finally score! Pretty!! This is the perfect organic combination of the team's overall and individual abilities! β
After the goal, Yelo did not celebrate, but rushed directly into the goal, when the goalkeeper Lloris bent over to pick up the ball, he snatched the ball from Lloris, Lloris was unhappy, he was just about to go to Yelo's trouble, but found that Yelo had run away - even Tottenham's fastest Bale may not be able to catch up with Yelo, let alone Lloris.
France is aggrieved.
He could only watch as Arsenal's No. 10 ran back to the centre circle with the ball and pressed the ball on the tee-off.
Ye Luo put the ball on the tee point and clapped his palms vigorously, signaling his teammates to hurry back and not lose time.
In this game, they are still behind!
Tottenham fans were also a little panicked at this time.
The mentality of leading by two goals is completely different from being one goal ahead.
When we're two goals ahead, there's the mentality that even if they score, we're still ahead.
But one goal ahead is different.
On the football pitch, the situation of the game can change quickly, and the opponent may score a goal to equalize in the next moment.
A one-goal lead, the sense of security is too low.
And for Tottenham fans, they can't just go down to help the team, so the way they help the team is to make their voices heard as much as possible.
When Tottenham had the ball, it was a huge cheer.
When the Arsenal players got the ball, there was a sharp boo.
As the situation is now, Arsenal get much more possession than Tottenham.
So there were very few opportunities for Tottenham fans to cheer, most of them were booing.
And if you want to boo loudly, you have to use all your strength, and not all Tottenham fans are sopranos, so many fans don't know if they are hoarse and hoarse.
As the shrill level of the boo decreases, the boo sounds completely intimidating.
In Yelo sounded.
This kind of boo.
It's like a wail of despair.
Because this sound sounds, it means that his team has the majority of the advantage.
Meaning Arsenal are on the onslaught!!
And that's exactly what happened in the game.
But Arsenal began to reflect on their mentality, looked at the quality of their opponents, and kept in mind the opponent's threatening attacking routines.
Arsenal's burst of attacking strength almost completely suppressed Tottenham.
After scoring the first goal, Arsenal completely took over the game.
They played where to play to the advantage, completely overpowering their opponents.
Boas stood on the sidelines frowning, and finally he decided to defend himself!
Now Tottenham is still one goal ahead of Arsenal, as long as they can hold on to this lead, Tottenham will still win!
So Villas-Boas made a quick substitution.
Midfielder Sigurdsson replaced Defoe.
Tottenham played in a 541 formation, leaving one Bale in front of them for a harassing attack.
Arsenal, on the other hand, know what their opponents are up to.
After Tottenham completely shrunk back.
Arsenal's attacking approach has been adjusted accordingly.
To break through the dense defense, there are only two methods: long-range shooting and high ball.
So Arsenal's side took turns in two ways.
In the 60th minute of the game, Yelo hit a long-range shot, and the football hit Dawson's foot and refracted slightly off the baseline.
In the sixty-second minute of the game, Ye Luo once again made a long-range shot, and the knot made the Tottenham players make a conditional launch blocking action, but this time Ye Luo only feintmed, he picked the ball to the side, and then directly advanced into the penalty area at high speed!!
Cazorla on the wing understood and passed the ball directly to the back post!!
Jumping forward to the back post, Ye Luo jumped high and smashed the ball towards the goal with a header.
Lloris did what he could, blocked the near corner, reached out and blocked the ball into the six-yard box.
The ball landed right at the feet of Wilshere in the six-yard box.
Wilshere, of course, was not welcome, he lifted his foot and kicked the ball towards the goal.
Facing such a big goal.
Wilshere kicked off the ground a lot harder than he kicked in.
So the ball flew into the goal without a hitch.
βGOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Wilshire !! β
"Two to two!! Arsenal equalised! Yelo's header allowed Lloris to make a save, but then Wilshere's follow-up shot was unstoppable! β
"The second half was less than twenty minutes into it! Arsenal scored two goals on their own!! Tottenham's two-goal lead is in vain! They're going to fall short!! β
In the shouts of the narrator.
Wilshere, who inherited Thierry Henry's No. 14 shirt, opened his arms to pounce on Yelo to celebrate the goal.
By Premier League standards, this goal can also be regarded as Yelo's assist.
In fact, it is somewhat controversial whether the goal is counted as the assist of the previous shooter after the shot is saved by the goalkeeper.
FIFA originally only stated that "the last passer before a goal is scored counts as an assist goal." β
The definition of passing is also unclear: for example, how to determine whether it is a pass or a shot, what are the boundaries and criteria for this, and if you run into another player in the passing (shooting) line and refract and then score, is this not an assist?
So rules are rules, but the understanding of rules can have many "own interpretations".
The rules are not very clear, so many leagues have their own understanding.
For example, "does a follow-up goal after a shot is saved count as an assist".
In the Bundesliga, it doesn't count as an assist.
In the Premier League, it counts as an assist.
Of course.
Later, FIFA also improved the rules in response to this, and later this situation was uniformly regarded as an assist.
But now it's still the stage where the rules are understood.
Therefore, whether it counts as an assist or not can only be a matter of opinion.
In fact, there were only two rules of football at the beginning: 1. Players other than the goalkeeper could not touch the ball with their hands (this rule could also be ignored before rugby and football were separated); 2. Do not maliciously attack opponents.
At first, there was no offside rule.
Maybe it's because the rules are simple enough.
That's why football is the most popular ball game in the world.
However, with the development of the professional football league, the rules have become more and more detailed.
But even so.
Among the mainstream ball games, the rules of football are also the simplest - basically except for an offside rule that requires a special lesson, the other rules are easy to understand.
When Wilshere was ready to go to Yelo to celebrate the goal.
He turned his head, but he couldn't see Ye Luo's figure.
When he looked at the goal again, Ye Luo had already rushed into the goal.
But this time Lloris had already prepared, he first held the ball in his arms, and Ye Luo was not polite to grab it directly.
The two tugged and tugged.
Lloris holds the ball with both hands, lowers the center of gravity,
At this moment, the two are like basketball players competing on the basketball court.
However, Lloris was crushed by Ye Luo in terms of strength and confrontation, and this is not really playing basketball, there is something that violates the rules of the cylinder, so Ye Luo started very unceremoniously, and directly wanted to pick up Lloris, and then snatched the ball from Lloris's hand.
Just an equaliser, in Yelo's opinion, is not worth celebrating.
But by this time the other Tottenham players had quit.
How could they watch Loris being bullied by Yelo.
So Vertonghen was the first to make a move, and he rushed directly to push Ye Luo away: "You'd better be polite!" β
Ye Luo directly waved his hand and pushed it back: "You're welcome, what can you do?" β
Suddenly!
There was a lot of boos in the stands.
The other players were suddenly attracted to magnets.
Wilshire also gave up the celebration and went straight to the warband.
Then came the rest of the Arsenal players and the Tottenham players, and the two sides were huddled all at once.
Mutual Zuan output.
That's the derby!
If there is no conflict, how can it be called a derby.
"Oh, oh, oh! Yelo clashed loudly with Lloris and Vertonghen, and players from both sides quickly joined the penalty area, and the conflict quickly expanded! β
'Yelo wanted to serve quickly, Lloris stopped him, but it was clear that Lloris overestimated his strength, he was bullied by Yelo, and as a result, Vertonghen wanted to give his team-mate a head and ignited the conflict.
"Ye Luo doesn't seem to be satisfied with the equaliser, he is not satisfied with the draw! Although Arsenal equalized after falling behind by two goals, it is actually quite remarkable! β
The referee blew his whistle and rushed forward.
A shrill whistle was accompanied by a shrill boo
After the referee intervened, the players on both sides did not move, but spoke.
The two sides split up after each other's outputs.
Although Ye Luo failed to complete the kick-off quickly, the time of the conflict will also be counted in the injury time, but he took the initiative to celebrate the wasted time will most likely not make up for it.
So Arsenal still earned it.
The premise is, of course, that there will be no red cards - but everyone is conflicted, but they are all rational and know what actions will lead to red cards.
Really.
After the clash subsided, the referee gave Yelo, Vertonghen and Lloris a yellow card each.
It's kind of put this to rest.
But the narrator was very excited: "This is a north London derby!" β
The derby was different.
After a conflict.
The players on both sides moved bigger.
Both sides are playing with fire.
The north London derby is considered one of the most intense derbies in England.
Clashes, red and yellow cards and the like are not uncommon.
The rivalry between the two teams is very sharp.
The players on both sides didn't like each other in the first place.
As long as a little spark can detonate the anger in everyone's hearts.
And this conflict obviously played the role of a fuse.
Inside the next game.
Fouls on both sides are not uncommon.
The referee also had to play his cards frequently.
The almost hand-to-hand match between the two sides made the game very intense and anxious.
Maybe to outsiders.
The score was unacceptable against Tottenham.
Because it's not just their home stadium, but they've had a two-goal lead.
The two-goal lead was equalised, which was unacceptable for many people.
And for Arsenal, the score should be acceptable.
They were once two goals behind, and it was not easy to equalize.
But the reality is that neither side accepts the scoreline.
Tottenham had a two-goal lead and there was no reason for them to accept a draw that would be levelled by two goals at home.
Arsenal, for their part, will never think they only need a draw to account for their supporters.
So both sides are still trying to launch a threatening offensive.
In the 83rd minute of the game, Tottenham had a chance to counterattack, Bale was brought down by Mertesacker at the edge of the box, and Tottenham won a free kick in front.
Bale's free-kick hit the crossbar and went off the line.
All the Arsenal fans were scared out of a cold sweat by the free-kick.
But soon.
Cazorla returned the favor with a long-range shot.
At that time, it was Ye Luo who dribbled the ball to the inverted triangle near the bottom line, Cazorla followed directly with his foot and shot angrily, the ball ran towards the goal against the ground, slightly off the left post!!
Both sides had chances, but it seemed like they were a little bit away from scoring.
Many people thought that this game might end in a draw.
But in the eighty-ninth minute of the game.
Arsenal launched an offensive.
The football quickly passed to the front, Wilshire advanced with the ball and distributed it to Cazorla, who directly squeezed the ball to Yelo, who was diagonally inserted into the ribs of the penalty area on the side!
Yelo has defensive players around him.
Kyle Walker, Sigurdson, Gallas and others were all by his side, but at the moment of Cazorla's pass, Yelo suddenly activated!
He started too fast.
Even Kyle Walker, who was equally fast and explosive, was thrown away by him.
He got the ball before everyone else and then drove it into the box!
"Yelo !!"
On the commentary bench, almost all the commentators stood up at this moment, leaning forward to look at the court, because at this moment, only Vertonghen and Dawson were left in front of Yelo.
In fact, if Lloris is counted, Tottenham still has three players.
Three to one, it stands to reason that it is very safe.
But know that they are facing Ye Luo!!
The boos at White Hart Lane became sharper.
Tottenham fans also seem to know what the situation means in front of them.
Belgian centre-back Vertonghen is physically strong and experienced.
He's one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League.
And Dawson next to him is a veteran who has been selected for the England team, and he has a lot of experience and wealth.
As for Loris.
He was Lyon's first-choice goalkeeper last season.
In the round of 16 of the Champions League last season, he was stunned by Ye Luo's shot.
Of course, he also has a certain understanding of Ye Luota.
All three Tottenham defenders are now all focused on Yelo.
Vertonghen didn't hesitate to crash into Yelo.
He raised his hands in the air, and hit them with the torso of his body.
If it's another player who comes in with the ball now.
He really didn't dare to do that.
Because if there is physical contact, what if the opposite side rolls on the ground for seven and a half weeks with a scream, and the referee decisively awards a penalty?
But if it's Yelo
Vertonghen is really not afraid of the opponent - as an opponent, you must study your main defensive object before the game.
Vertonghen knows.
Yelo wasn't that kind of person.
Even if there is physical contact, he will not fall to the ground easily.
Really.
But when Vertonghen collided, Yelo chose to spread his hands, maintain his balance, protect the football, and then fight against Vertonghen.
Everything ahead.
Vertonghen was right.
Ye Luo really didn't scream, nor did he cover his ankles and roll on the ground to death.
But what happened next was not foreseen at all.
His impact didn't make Ye Luo's center of gravity change, and even the other party didn't shake much.
Instead, he was bounced off and fell to the ground on his back!
Of course.
Vertonghen's impact wasn't without effect, and while he mispredicted what happened after the impact, at least he bought his team-mate time.
Dawson seized the opportunity and rushed up as soon as possible.
He stretched out his foot and almost poked the ball away!
Moment of truth.
Ye Luo took a step and directly separated the football from Dawson, and then suppressed Dawson with his body, and Religion hooked the ball to the small penalty area!!
But by the time he turned, Lloris had already rushed up, and he quickly pounced on the ball, and it looked like he was almost going to succeed.
At this time, Ye Luo stabbed the tip of his left foot with incredible agility!
Loris knew what his opponent was going to do when he saw Yelo poke forward on his toes.
He immediately changed his save, stretched out his hand, spread his foot, and pressed his whole body on the turf in front of the goal, expanding his defensive range as much as possible.
The soccer ball hit his thigh and bounced out!
All the Tottenham fans were almost going to be cheering for Lloris' successful defence at this moment.
But Ye Luoke did not give up.
He saw the ball bounce to the right of his body, so he turned and chased after it.
As soon as he turned, midfielder Parker pounced and picked up his right leg.
When Ye Luo saw this scene, he was immediately furious!
The meat is all in his mouth, how can he let him fly away!
He also was ruthless, sweeping directly to the football, and wanted to kick the ball in the direction of the goal!!
Parker, who picked up his big foot to clear the ball, successfully kicked the football.
But instead of being kicked away, the football stayed in place!
Bang!
The two played football almost at the same time!
Parker felt like he wasn't playing football, he was kicking a rock!
Football doesn't move!
Parker himself flew forward.
Ye Luo's sweeping leg left the ball in his control!!
But it's too late to get up and shoot.
The people on the other side are about to come back, and when he finishes getting up and shoots again, the daylily is cold!
So he simply exerted his right foot directly, let himself rush out like a torpedo, and hit the ball towards the goal with his head!!
Lloris's second reaction was also a bit incredible.
His well-developed thigh muscles exerted force, allowing him to bounce off the ground with a thud and complete the second save.
But alas.
He was still a step too late.
Before his hand pounced.
The soccer ball has passed through the tips of his fingers!
Left-back Sandro, who had retreated to the goal line, could not use his hands again.
So he could only make a flying tackle and try to block the goal, but unfortunately if he was the goalkeeper, he really had a chance to fish the ball out with his hands, but the control range of his feet was still too small.
The soccer ball scraped his spikes and swirled and rolled into the goal line!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa."
Almost all the commentators, no matter what their native language is, now it seems that there is only this one sentence left, because the process is so fast, with twists and turns in a short period of time, people are dizzy, and they don't know what to say, so they have to exclaim in amazement.
The language of Homo sapiens has some vocabulary that is almost incomprehensible, after all, everyone is the same species, and there is no reproductive isolation.
But soon.
Commentators from all over the world began to explain the goal in their own languages.
"Lore!! Lore!! The eighty-ninth minute of the game! Yelo scored twice! He scored the game-winning goal for Arsenal!! He kicked Tottenham into the abyss! β
"Beautiful goal!! Tottenham had a number of chances to clear the ball, but none of them were able to win in a power match! β
'Tottenham's entire backline has not been able to stop Yelo! It was a goal full of individual heroism! Ye Luo once again dominates the game!! β
On the sidelines, Arsenal's coaching dugout and bench were boiling.
This time, Yelo did not rush in to grab the ball, and the Tottenham players did not hold on to the football.
Lloris looked at the football spinning behind the goal he was guarding in a daze, and his face showed helplessness.
Tottenham's players had a look of dazed and frustration on their faces.
They led by two goals at one point but in the end. They don't kill them!
Such a blow caused an avalanche in the morale of Tottenham's players.
Even if the game resumes, they may not be able to launch any effective attacks.
After the goal, Yelo plunged headlong into the players on the bench on the sidelines, and the Arsenal players cheered and celebrated together.
After the resumption of play.
Tottenham, for their part, failed to launch any threatening attacks.
Tottenham's players did not have the courage to continue attacking, but were a little annoyed.
Ninety-second minute.
Parker's vicious flying tackle on Cazorla detonated a clash between the players on both sides.
During the conflict, captain Ye Luo was shown a yellow card in order to give his teammates a head, and two yellows turned into one red and was sent off.
This made the commentators of Arsenal TV quite unhappy.
"It was Parker who should have been sent off!"
Unfortunately, Parker was not sent off, but his team-mate Vertonghen and Yelo were sent off after accumulating two yellow cards.
The game is now.
Most of the players on both sides were almost always yellow cards: Tottenham had eight and Arsenal had seven.
Plus two red cards.
This game can be regarded as full of red and yellow cards.
However, apart from the clashes and fouls, the score of this game did not change much.
The fourth minute of stoppage time.
The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game!
Arsenal won their first north London derby of the season.
