Midfield bombing.
A typical DONG opening.
Therefore, as soon as the game started, the fans' enthusiasm reached its peak.
Inter Milan has already tasted reaching the top of the league, and Moratti asked the team to shift their focus to the Champions League; Tottenham are returning to the Champions League after many years and are in full swing.
When two teams eager to prove themselves met each other, both wanted to step on the corpse of their opponents.
But this is White Hart Lane, Tottenham’s home ground.
Cesar met the ball with both hands, blocked the ball from the air in front of him, and then caught the ball after it bounced once.
Although Wang Xiaodong's shot was not directly caught, this defensive method is undoubtedly much more robust.
Before Robbie Keane and Berbatov went too deep, Cesar threw the ball directly to Maicon.
Maicon stepped on the ball and pulled it back, frowning as he faced the frontcourt.
Tottenham are already pressing forward.
It's not just Bale who is facing him.
There are also Berbatov Berbatov, Robbie Keane, Modric and Wang Xiaodong in the middle.
The mighty white is like a chain, advancing forward from the midfield.
Inter Milan wants to control the situation and play a slow-paced attack... This idea is obviously out of sight.
At this moment, Maicon needs to pass the ball out.
Otherwise, when Bell comes up, he might be in trouble.
Seeing Bell bursting forward with great speed, Maicon frowned, but he was very confident in his own strength.
Maicon, who was born in 1981, is 8 years older than Bell, who was born in 1989. This is 8 years of football experience.
Maicon believed that as long as he swayed a little, the rookie in front of him would be thrown away.
The fact was just as Maicon expected. When Bell, who rushed in front of him, saw himself swinging his legs and kicking, he subconsciously turned sideways, hoping to block the ball with his body.
Uh-huh!
The ball passed.
Maicon deceived Bell with his very professional feints.
Bell opened a gap and the chain immediately retreated.
Bell, who did not believe in evil, pressed several times in succession, but Maicon turned around, protected the ball, fake kicks and other methods to get rid of them all.
At this moment, the fans in the visiting team's stands were already choking and laughing.
Fortunately, Wang Xiaodong is there to control the midfield, so it won't be a big deal if Bell's side misses.
Seeing that the frontcourt press could not achieve the intended effect, Tottenham immediately retreated the pressing line to the midfield.
At this point, Tottenham's fighting intensity finally made Inter Milan irritated.
...
La Liga focuses on technology, Serie A focuses on defense, and the Premier League focuses on physical confrontation.
Different styles lead to different habits. When seeing Tottenham knocking his teammates off their feet, not only Ibrahimovic, but also Figo on the bench was a little stunned.
When Wang Xiaodong used an unreasonable side collision to knock Stankovic over twice, but the referee on the side was indifferent, there was a denunciation from the Inter Milan bench.
"These guys are still so barbaric! Do they really know how to play football? If they weren't wearing uniforms, I would have thought they were primitive people!" Figo said with a look of disgust.
After high-profile performances at Real Madrid and Barcelona, Figo is no longer a strong player in Inter Milan, but more often plays the role of Inter Milan's ambassador.
During his time playing for the two giants of La Liga, Figo played countless times in the Champions League for Real Madrid and Barcelona, and naturally had contact with Premier League teams.
Even so, when I saw Tottenham's fighting intensity, I couldn't help but grin.
"This is the Premier League." Former Gunners captain Vieira said while sitting upright and looking at the field.
At this moment, Boateng, a fool, made an "suspicious" elbow attack in defense, overturning Santa Cruz on the spot.
The referee only blew the whistle as a warning and did not show the yellow card that the Inter Milan players strongly requested.
"In the referee's opinion, such an action is already very 'light'." Vieira said calmly.
There were many reasons why he left Arsenal, including his relationship with the professor.
Even so, he still stared at the field intently.
His piercing eyes exuded unparalleled desire.
He debuted in Ligue 1 in Cannes, briefly joined Milan for a year, and then came to Arsenal in the Premier League to become a gunner.
Vieira spent the most glorious nine years of his career in the Arsenal, the ancient city of London, which carries countless precious memories of the French.
In "his" era, Tottenham were little more than a slightly larger reptile next to them.
Every time there is a North London derby, Arsenal crush their opponents as easily as they crush a bug.
Now, both he and Henry have left the Gunners.
The professors and some youth players barely held up Arsenal's backbone, and the sky in the North London Derby gradually turned white.
After years of derby grudges, the hatred gene in Vieira's body was immediately aroused as soon as he returned to this stadium.
This is him not playing.
If he starts the game, there will definitely be a lot of curses in the stands.
"Yes, this is the Premier League." Crespo on the side also shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Crespo has always been a phenomenal player, and some people still say that his move to Chelsea was a big failure.
The Argentinian simply did not adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, and even his life under Mourinho was not satisfactory.
Crespo was exhausted after two years in the Premier League and had to move to Inter Milan and return to the familiar Serie A to find his form again.
He scored 14 goals for Inter Milan in all competitions last season, which is already a good statistic.
But putting such data on a forward of the level of "Crespo" is a bit unbearable.
This season, the Argentine hopes to rediscover himself in the Champions League.
In the stadium, people were on their backs again.
This time it's Modric.
Looking from the sidelines, Cambiaso's big bald head just emerged from under Modric's kneecap, like a funny balloon.
The reason why the two of them were in such a position was also very simple. They were just colliding with each other and fighting for a header.
Although the Croatian is small in stature, he contains unlimited energy.
When he collides with others, the opponent will not think that this is a "dwarf" that is easy to bully, but will only think that it is an iron nail that can hurt him at any time!
"That's why I don't like the Premier League!" Maniche also muttered.
Nuno Ricardo de Oliveira Ribeiro was given this nickname by fans just because his playing style was very similar to Michael Maniche who played for Benfica in 1980.
As the only player who has followed Mourinho at Benfica, Porto and Chelsea, Maniche's ability is beyond doubt.
He also had a bad temper before, but under Mourinho's guidance, he finally recognized his shortcomings and regarded the Magic Bird as his godfather, and he has achieved what he has today.
Although he only briefly played for Chelsea for one season, the level of competition in the Premier League still flustered the Portuguese golden generation.
"The games between Premier League teams sometimes feel like they are not playing football, but fighting and brawling! They have always been like this!"
After several players who had played in the Premier League expressed their emotions, Toldo, Burdisso and others on the side were trembling and did not dare to say anything.
Just as the Inter Milan bench continued to complain about the Premier League's brutality and backwardness, there was another wailing on the court.
"Alas! Who is the unlucky guy this time?"
On the Inter Milan bench, everyone looked up again and subconsciously prayed for their teammates in their hearts.
However, this time, they did not see the fierce-looking "Tottenham hooligan" who climbed up from his teammate's body and cursed at the same time.
What caught his eye was a blond man over 1.9 meters tall, walking past Robbie Keane as if nothing had happened.
