Although everyone does not believe that Wang Xiaodong will finally win the Golden Boot in the Premier League this season, the current situation on the scorer list reminds everyone all the time.
After 17 rounds of the league, Wang Xiaodong has scored 18 goals for Tottenham, ranking first in the scorer list; second is Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, who only has 11 goals.
There is a 7-goal difference between first and second place. Even Manchester United's own fans know that such a big gap will be difficult to recover.
Unless Wang Xiaodong is injured or sick, it will be difficult for Ronaldo to close such a big gap.
But will Wang Xiaodong be injured or sick?
Looking at the shirtless poster of Wang Xiaodong posted outside the gym, no one thought that such a muscular man would suddenly collapse due to illness.
So other fans often laugh and say: "Even if all Manchester United's penalty kicks are given to Ronaldo, they still can't catch up with China DONG."
Not only that, more and more fans have begun to call the position in front of the goal in front of the top of the penalty area the "Wang Xiaodong Zone."
This area is about 75-80 square meters, and most of Wang Xiaodong's goals come from here.
Whether he is dribbling the ball himself, receiving a pass from a teammate or taking a free kick, Wang Xiaodong has scored most of his career goals here.
Once Wang Xiaodong controls the ball in this area, it means that the opponent's goal is already facing a major threat.
No matter who the defender is marking Wang Xiaodong, or which goalkeeper is standing in front of the goal.
At least so far, apart from fouls, there is no effective defensive method that can ensure that Wang Xiaodong is prevented from kicking and scoring.
When Wang Xiaodong gets the ball in this area, all the stars will lose the effect of his halo.
The only thing that greeted Wang Xiaodong's opponent was a devastating cannonball.
Judging from the stadium plan, this area includes the rectangular area from the distance between the two points of the penalty arc to five meters outside the penalty area. Such a wide range is enough to crowd all the players on both sides.
But in fact it is impossible to completely deploy dense defense in this area, which is why so many Premier League clubs are extremely afraid of Wang Xiaodong.
Other players such as Robin van Persie and Inzaghi obviously have very small areas and ranges. As long as they are guarded at specific locations, it is very likely that their performance will be restricted.
But Wang Xiaodong can't.
This area is too big.
Not only is it bigger, it also increases the threat range of the goal.
In other words, in terms of tactics to defend Wang Xiaodong's goals, the coaching team needs to go through more research and calculations before they can come up with a relatively reasonable defensive method.
But this method may not be effective yet.
Now, Wang Xiaodong's long-range heavy artillery has affected the defensive layout of every Premier League team.
Whether it is a winger, a full midfielder, or even a full-back, there is a subconscious tendency to move closer to the center when defending.
If Wang Xiaodong's shot flies to the goal, it will be too late.
Unless the goalkeeper uses his torso to block Wang Xiaodong's shot, even if his wrist and ankle touch the ball, it may not be able to prevent the ball from entering the net.
Such heavy artillery has become a top problem in the Premier League.
For a time, "DONGDONG GOAL" has become the belief of power players.
Like "Batti GOAL", such a powerful shot has become the object of imitation by countless powerful forwards.
...
After Christmas, Tottenham will face Fulham at home.
Fulham is currently deep in the relegation zone, and the entire team is working hard to avoid relegation.
Before meeting Tottenham, they had not tasted victory in 6 games.
In these 6 games, Fulham only scored 2 points.
Facing such a "big" team, all Tottenham fans are full of confidence.
What fans are discussing is how many points Tottenham can beat its opponents at home and how many goals Wang Xiaodong can score.
With the fans singing loudly, the game started.
Fulham naturally knew that they were definitely not blocking Tottenham, and this was basically a battle for honor.
Therefore, Fulham did not play conservatively at all after the kick-off. After the kick-off, they launched a fierce attack on Tottenham's position, seemingly trying to catch the home team off guard.
Tottenham likes such desperate "mad dog" opponents the most. With the interceptions of Wang Xiaodong and Modric, they calmly opened up the formation in the midfield and attacked the opponent.
Fulham is not as strong as Tottenham, but that doesn't mean there is no chance.
After three passes and two downs, the Tottenham defenders found an opportunity to pass through the midfield while the Tottenham defenders were still hot, and hit the attack to the front of Tottenham's penalty area.
Fulham's goal is very clear, which is to target the defensive area of Lee Young-pyo's side and launch a fierce attack.
The South Korean players usually perform quite well, but occasionally perform brilliantly.
But under heavy pressure, South Korean players often develop loopholes on their own.
Seeing this scene, Martin Joel on the sidelines kept shaking his head.
Tottenham have not added full-back defenders this season. It seems that this weakness has been understood by everyone.
In desperation, Dawson fouled while covering up outside the penalty area, giving his opponent a chance to take a free kick outside the penalty area.
Although it is still a little far away from the goal, it is actually a good chance to score for those players with strong feet and other ideas.
It is easier to hit the goal directly with a free kick than to disintegrate Tottenham's defense layer by layer.
Tottenham arranged a human wall up and down, and Wang Xiaodong stood in the center of the human wall without giving up.
Fulham forward Tyrande stood in front of the ball. He is the player with the best footwork in the team and Fulham's most likely threat to the goal behind Robin Xu.
In normal training, Tyrande's free kicks often score directly into the goal. Tottenham know this very well, so the players are also prepared.
Wang Xiaodong covered his vitals with both hands. Even if he trained to the last layer of the Golden Bell Mask, he would never be able to learn the trick of shrinking the Yang into the abdomen.
You can build muscle anywhere, but not there.
Coupled with the lessons learned from Fabregas, of course Wang Xiaodong moved all protective measures here.
Seeing Tyrande getting ready to attack, Wang Xiaodong shouted in his heart: "Come on, shoot me!!!"
Perhaps the other party heard his prayer, and their eyes collided with each other from a distance of 9 meters.
Wang Xiaodong looked stern and frowned.
This guy's eyes are a bit unfriendly!
What do you want to do?
Revenge for Arsenal players?
Just as Wang Xiaodong was tightening his abdomen and tensing up his nerves, Tyrande had already started his run-up and hit the ball hard with his right foot.
boom! ! !
A powerful and heavy shot.
At that moment, seeing the ball flying towards his face, Wang Xiaodong felt that time had frozen.
Good guy, it really is!
bring it on!
Let the storm come more violently!
Wang Xiaodong roared, facing the ball, and jumped high into the air without even blinking.
How can you avoid getting your shoes wet if you often walk by the river?
I hunt birds all year round, but today I was blinded by magpies.
I want to see how much you weigh!
PENG! ! !
The ball hit Wang Xiaodong hard in the face and shot into the sky.
After landing, Wang Xiaodong spread his legs and held on to the turf on the ground with both feet, but did not take a step back.
Tyrande, who kicked the ball, was also dumbfounded. He had never seen such a tough player.
Your face is suffocated from the front, so what's the harm in falling down to delay and take a breath?
Just when Tyrande was surprised, he suddenly saw a pair of red and swollen eyes staring at him.
Those are the eyes that spot prey.
not good!
Tyrande was shocked.
He had an ominous premonition.
The next second, the ball in the air fell straight down and met Wang Xiaodong's swung right leg.
boom!
A brutal reverse output.
The distance of 9 meters passed in the blink of an eye, and the ball hit Tyrande's abdomen like a lead bullet, knocking him to the ground.
Tyrande, who curled up into a giant shrimp shape, used her last strength to look forward. What caught her eyes were still those eyes that looked at the dead.
That's right, I'm going to kick you!
