"ESPN! ESPN! Welcome everyone to turn your attention to the beautiful White Hart Lane stadium. What we will bring you next is a focus game in the 17th round of the 2010-2011 English Premier League, also known as the London Derby. Tottenham's game against Chelsea. I am the commentator Zhan Jun, and next to me is my partner Zhang Lu Zhang."
"Good morning, viewers, I am Zhang Lu!"
"In the last round of games, Tottenham drew 1:1 away from Birmingham, while Chelsea beat Everton 2:1 at home. Although the game had some twists and turns, the result was a victory for the Blues."
"The most recent match between the two teams was eight months ago. In the 35th round of last season, Chelsea visited White Hart Lane and lost to Tottenham 1:2."
"I still remember that game. It was Jermain Defoe and Gareth Bale who scored two goals in the first half, taking the lead in establishing the victory. Although Lampard pulled a goal back in the 90th minute, but It also failed to save the defeat.”
"The 17th round has completed 6 games. Chelsea currently leads the standings with 16 games, 14 wins, 2 losses and 42 points. Manchester United has one game less, 11 points behind Chelsea, and Arsenal is in second place. 32 points is 10 points behind Chelsea."
"It can be said that Chelsea still has a big lead. Before this game, Redknapp also shouted to Ancelotti that he would stop the Blues at White Hart Lane so that the Blues could only return defeated."
"I don't think Ancelotti will let him succeed easily."
"Well, that's natural. Let's first introduce the starting lineups of the two teams. For the home team Tottenham, the starting lineup is 4-4-2.
Goalkeeper No. 1 Gomez,
The four defenders are No. 2 Alan Horton, No. 20 Michael Dawson, No. 19 Sebastian Basson, and No. 32 Esu Ekoto.
The four midfielders are No. 7 Aaron Lennon, No. 12 Palacios, No. 14 Luka Modric, and No. 3 Gareth Bale.
The double forward combination is No. 9 Pavlyuchenko and No. 18 Jermaine Defoe. "
"Tottenham also have many good players in their squad, such as Crouch, Gudjohnsen, Danny Rose, and Kyle Walker. These are all veterans and can pose a threat to Chelsea."
"Indeed, Tottenham are currently ranked fifth. Although there is no hope of competing for the championship, there is still hope of qualifying for the Champions League next season."
"Actually, Tottenham can also shift their focus this season towards the Champions League. After all, they also qualified for the top 16 as the first in the group."
"Well, let's introduce the visiting team Chelsea's starting lineup. Ancelotti arranged a 4-3-3 formation today.
Goalkeeper No. 1 Petr Cech,
The four defenders are No. 3 Ashley Cole, No. 26 John Terry, No. 6 Van Dijk, and No. 2 Ivanovic.
The defensive midfielder position is still No. 5 Essien.
The two central midfielders are No. 10 Toni Kroos and No. 12 Mikel.
The forward trident is No. 15 Malouda, No. 39 Anelka, and No. 21 Salomon Kalu. "
"Xiao Yu did not play today, but his name appeared on the substitute list."
"I noticed Lampard's name on the substitute list. It seems that the injury of the 'Magic Lamp' has indeed healed this time. Otherwise, Ancelotti will not easily put him into the starting lineup."
"However, during the days when Lampard was absent due to injury, Toni Kroos has gradually firmly occupied the main midfield position. I am curious how Ancelotti will balance the playing time of these two players. "
"Do you think the two of them are compatible?"
"Hey! This is a great thing. After all, their styles are completely different."
"Let's focus on this game first."
"The referee of this game is Dean, who is known as the "North London Sniper", and he is a die-hard Tottenham fan. This game will be difficult for Chelsea."
"We still have to believe that the referee is fair."
Xiao Yu sat on the bench like Drogba. Xiao Yu also saw many familiar people, such as Modric and Bale, both of whom had contributed to Real Madrid's four championships in five years in their previous lives.
In this life, Xiao Yu brought Ah Kuan to Lanqiao, which can be regarded as changing the trajectory of time. He was the little butterfly flapping its wings, but he didn't know whether he would have a great impact on the entire world.
Beep! ~
Referee Dean blew the whistle to start the game.
It also brought Xiao Yu's thoughts back to the court.
Chelsea took the lead in this game, but the ball was quickly intercepted by Modric.
Then, just one minute into the game, Modric and Palacios made a mistake in cooperation. Chelsea stole the ball and attacked. Anelka's shot was barely received by Tottenham goalkeeper Gomez.
In the 8th minute, Essien volleyed hard from outside the penalty area and the ball deflected from the goal.
In the 12th minute, Chelsea got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt, and Ivanovic missed the shot from 28 meters away from the goal.
In the 13th minute, Gareth Bale volleyed hard in the penalty area and the ball went high.
In the 15th minute, Defoe cleverly got rid of Ivanovic's defense on the left and accurately sent out assists.
Pavlyuchenko flexibly controlled the ball in the penalty area, moved laterally, and created shooting opportunities.
There were obvious holes in the defense of Mikel and Terry, allowing the Russian forward to hit a low shot into the near corner near the penalty area line.
Although Cech responded, he failed to make a successful save due to his blocked vision.
"The ball went in! Pavlyuchenko shot a low shot from the penalty area line and accurately hit the near corner. Although Cech tried his best, his line of sight was blocked and he couldn't save it." Zhan Jun said about Cech's failure to block the ball. Regret.
"In this way, Tottenham leads 1:0. This is also Pavlyuchenko's fifth goal this season. Chelsea fell behind again. I don't know what adjustments Ancelotti will make next. "Zhang Lu felt helpless about Chelsea's lagging situation and expressed her expectations for Ancelotti's next tactical arrangements.
In the 22nd minute, Toni Cross threw away the defense from the right and made a pass. Kalu outflanked the goal from the front of the penalty area.
In the 25th minute, Van Dijk made a long pass from the backcourt. Malouda made a pass from the left. Kalou's header in the penalty area was blocked by Gomez.
In the 30th minute, Tottenham got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt, and Pavlyuchenko outflanked the goal from the back of the penalty area.
In the 34th minute, Ekoto committed a defensive foul on the right and was shown a yellow card by the referee.
Malouda gave a free kick to the back of the goal. Kalu headed the ball towards the goal and the ball missed the post.
In the 42nd minute, Toni Cross passed the ball diagonally from the right and Anelka scored, but the linesman signaled that Anelka was offside.
"This ball is obviously not offside. You can't just focus on Chelsea's goals and blow it off. It's too unfair." Zhan Jun expressed doubts about many Chelsea goals that were blown away in recent games.
"Actually, it's understandable to keep an eye on Chelsea. After all, they are now the league leader." Zhang Lu joked with a smile.
At the end of the first half, the Blues Chelsea were temporarily trailing Tottenham 0:1 away from home.
