Chapter 138: Hurricane Kane
Ryan Giggs, Thierry Henry, and Steven Gerrard sat in the stands, which moved the fans.
In that era of Premier League hegemony, as the captain of the traditional giants, the team represented by the three of them contributed countless classic games.
In the Champions League, they are also regulars in the quarter-finals, and even occupy three of the top four in one season.
Now, these once brilliant stars will actually go to White Hart Lane to watch the game, which is the biggest affirmation of Tottenham's upstart team.
"Ryan, you guys at Manchester United are also keeping an eye on this humble game?"
Gerrard and Thierry Henry knew in their hearts that Ryan Giggs had come here for more than just to watch the game.
After retiring last year, Ryan Giggs spent some time as acting manager for Manchester United.
David Moyes became the official head coach, and he became an assistant coach.
David Moyes, who has the aura of Ferguson's successor, led the Red Devils to a fourth-place finish, and every step is like walking on thin ice.
He has not yet reached the heights that the club and the fans would like.
Giggs's purpose is also to look at Rossi, a newcomer who has risen to prominence this season.
The team's main strikers include Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and Falcao.
The first two are over thirty years old, and Falcao is also twenty-nine, and there are not many years left in their prime, and someone must take over.
Although Januzayin is young, he does not seem to have the ability to take on this burden.
Ashley Young is often recovering from injuries, and the new signing Di Maria, although he is very good, is somewhat out of step with the team's tactical system.
Manchester United must prepare for the future of the team.
Back to the game.
Tottenham kicked off and concentrated their forces in the middle.
Harry Kane, Christian Eriksen, Townsend and Sazley formed a small close-knit interplay in the middle, using skilful passing to move the Lyicester defence.
Not only are these four skilled at their feet, but they are also very versatile, interchangeable in any position up front.
The flexible change of position allowed Lyrc City's defense to have no focus.
Acting coach Craig, let the players press high and intercept and interfere with the opponent's passes.
Today's Tottenham is blowing a storm of youth, and the impact and concentration of the game are very high.
If you want to use the high press, you have to be able to run better than them.
Pearson has always been working on the team's physicality, as high pressing has become a defensive tactic favored by many teams.
If you want to play defensive counter-attack, the team needs to have players with speed and finishing ability, as well as a central playmaker.
But there are too few such players.
Craig asked his players to run aggressively to make up for their technical deficiencies and achieve the goal of making it difficult for opponents to move forward.
As the two sides concentrated their forces in the middle of the battle, the two wings were very empty, and Tottenham's two full-backs stepped forward to act as full-backs to attack both sides of Leicester City.
Tottenham's defensive defender Bentaleb retreated to the back line and formed a three-centre-back system with his teammates.
The three of them are scattered in the backcourt, and they can receive the ball back from their teammates to break the opponent's high pressing.
The two full-backs can fill the gap behind the two full-backs when they press up.
That's how Pochettino's Tottenham have changed in attack.
And this change will continue to change with the situation of the game.
In the 8th minute, Rossi retreated, increasing the numerical advantage in midfield and suppressing Tottenham's attack on the right with his teammates.
Eriksen wanted to get the ball out safely by moving it.
But Schlupp's interference caused him to miss the pass and was intercepted by Matthew James.
After losing possession, Tottenham's attacking four players quickly dispersed and pressed and counter-attacked Lyicester City on the spot.
The two full-backs also quickly returned to defensive positions and the formation changed to 5-3-2.
In such a situation, even if Lyicester City succeeds in the steal, they will not be able to launch a counterattack opportunity at the first time.
Craig pondered, although he couldn't hit the opponent on the counterattack, but the opponent couldn't cause problems for his own defense.
Trying to be safe, he still wants to maintain the balance on the scene first, not to rush forward, not to defend to the death.
To be able to take away a point in White Hart Lane, he has done his job well.
But the effect of pressing at the beginning of the game far exceeded the expectations of Stert City.
In the 10th minute, Lyicester City pressed high and let the defenders miss the ball, and a long pass to the left midfielder Shazli.
Nugent jumped to the top of the ball to beat Shazley and head the ball to Matthew James.
Tottenham immediately counter-attacked, with Ryan at the back, Eriksen at the front, and Townsend at the front, to make a bag for him.
Matthew James took a step towards the left side of the space with the ball and saw that Rossi had stepped forward at the far end and did not hesitate to pass the ball to the wing.
Kyle Walker, full-back who was supposed to defend Rossi, was still hesitating to defend or retreat when he saw Matthew James moving laterally when the ball was already behind him.
Rossi stepped forward quickly, and in the high-speed run, he gently collared the ball with his right foot and carried it forward.
Kyle Walker, who was chasing back, was very fast, but he never dreamed that Rossi would start so fast.
The good thing is that it is far enough to chase it back.
[Beautiful, Luo's stop is perfect, he has entered the penalty area, and the defenders are chasing him. 】
【Shoot!】 】
Ooh!
To the exclamations of the home fans, Rossi scrambled to shoot before Walker could catch up.
The ball slid past the goal and rolled off the baseline against the far post.
Fortunately, I didn't get in.
Walker, who had more than one season, broke out in a cold sweat and almost lost the ball because of his own mistake.
At the end of the attack, Craig also gave Rossi a round of applause.
After the first two games, the team gradually matured in the tacit understanding of counterattacks.
In this attack, from pressing to counterattacking, the players understood and executed the tactics quite thoroughly, and played very resolutely.
Pochettino rushed to the sidelines to remind his players to be mindful of defending, especially on both wings, and not to hesitate in the slightest when attacking and defending.
After being attacked by their opponents, the Tottenham players began to settle their minds, playing through passing and looking for opportunities on the flanks.
Although Lyicester City played 5-4-1, Schlupp was often the left wing-back and needed him to run aggressively and open up the situation for the team after breaking through vertically.
In the 20th minute, Lyicester City once again took advantage of the numerical advantage to suppress Tottenham's attack to the left and caused them to make mistakes.
Tottenham counter-attacked, with Kane and Townsend pressing forward, Eriksen and Shazley each pulling on the side to form a 2-2 position up front, forcing Lyrcester to return the ball to their own half.
Craig's face changed slightly, this Tottenham really dared to play, and he actually invested so many people in the front.
Captain Morgan passes the ball forward to Rossi, who retreats to pick it up.
However, centre-back Verhengton followed Rossi close to the centre circle to make up for the void left by Shazli, and the Tottenham formation changed to 3-2-3-2.
With no space or opportunity to pass the ball, Rossi could only give his teammates a safe back.
Through this counter-attack, it can be seen that Tottenham Hotspur has a flexible change in formation in the game, and can suppress the opponent's counterattack at all times.
Even though Craig was aware of the opponent's tactical pressure, he was not able to make reasonable adjustments at the first time, and could only ask his players to strengthen their defense after losing possession.
In the first 35 minutes, Lyicester City used wide range of runs to limit Tottenham's attack.
With such a high defensive rhythm, the players' fitness has also begun to be in crisis.
As the game entered the 40th minute, Tottenham's advantage was finally becoming more and more apparent.
In the 42nd minute, Tottenham attacked, Eriksen retreated to get the ball, and at this time, full-back Walker stepped forward, turned into a right winger, and received the pass.
After Walker got the ball, he used his speed to dribble forward, and when he attracted Schlupp and Upson, he passed the ball diagonally to Eriksen, who was cut in behind.
This side was supposed to be the strong side of Lyicester City's defense, but because of Walker's forward insertion, the defense was too tight, resulting in Eriksen in the ribs being unguarded.
The unhurried Eriksen, looking up at the position of his attacking team-mate at the far end, crossed to Harry Kane in the middle.
Previously, Upson's forward defense put his own defenders in the penalty area at a disadvantage.
Morgan and Hutter alone can't keep Kane, Shazley and Townsend on the line.
Kane, who is 188cm, jumped high unguarded.
Hut wanted to rush to make up for it, but after all, he was a step too late, and watched the ball fly into the net.
The long-awaited goal from White Hart Lane is finally here.
It was their hopeful future star, Harry Kane, who scored the goal.
White Deer Lane, boiling.
This defense, the reaction of the Lyicester City players, obviously dropped a notch, and was accurately caught by Tottenham.
I thought it would be over, but Tottenham still refused to relax.
Heading into stoppage time, Eriksen was comfortable on the right and unmarked.
The Lyicester City defence retreated to the penalty line.
Eriksen distributed the ball to Wall, who was cut in on the right flank, and after moving the defence to the wing, Walker returned the ball to him in time.
Once again unguarded, Eriksen picked up the ball with ease and passed to the back post.
It's Kane again.
At the moment of Eriksen's pass, he went around to Hut and grabbed the goal.
2:0!
In the last five minutes of the game, Lyicester City suffered a series of blows and were scored twice by their opponents.
Pearson in the stands had a black face and walked back to the locker room in a rage without waiting for the whistle to sound.
Kane, who scored twice, could no longer suppress the ecstasy in his heart, rushed to the fans, and roared filial piety.
"Hurricane" Kane, bound to England, hangs a strong gust of wind.
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
