One to zero! After narrowly escaping, Chelsea immediately gave Tottenham a blow with a standard quick counterattack. This was the bitter result of Drogba's missed opportunity to score.
"Damn!" Looking at the Chelsea players who were celebrating the goal at the other end of the court, Drogba punched the turf, his tone full of reluctance and regret, "If I could have controlled the ball just now, I wouldn't have Something like this is going to happen..."
Until this time, Drogba hated himself for not honing his skills while playing in France. However, there is obviously no regret medicine for sale in this world, so Drogba can only accept this slightly cruel reality for him.
"Get up, Didier." Robbie Keane walked over and patted Drogba on the shoulder. He did not criticize the Ivorian for wasting opportunities before, but comforted him. "Instead of feeling sorry for yourself here, why?" Even if I can’t help you, it’s better to cheer up quickly and take practical actions to redeem the mistake you made.”
When no one has wasted an opportunity, even the famous Roberto Baggio has a record of missing a penalty kick, which caused Italy to miss the Hercules Cup. "Crazy striker" Palermo even created a penalty in a game. The record of missing three consecutive penalty kicks caused Argentina to lose 3-0 to Colombia in the Copa America. Therefore, in Robbie Keane's view, Drogba's matter is nothing at all. It can only be said that the Ivorian was very unlucky. He just wasted a shooting opportunity and was caught by Chelsea in a counterattack. The most annoying thing is that Chelsea actually scored a goal in this counterattack, which immediately made Drogba's situation extremely embarrassing.
"Yeah." After hearing what Robbie Keane said, Drogba nodded, stood up from the turf, sorted out his bad mood, and prepared to make up for it with practical actions in the next time!
"By the way, if Tottenham can't beat Chelsea in this game, then Coach Nelson's situation will become quite dangerous." Seeing that Chelsea scored a goal less than two minutes into the game, Layley Inker commented. The former World Cup golden boot knows that the Blues have not only got a dream start, but have also pushed Tottenham Hotspur to the edge - if Tottenham still cannot win a victory in this round of the league, even If they lose at the hands of Chelsea, then George and the Tottenham players will definitely receive more criticism from the British media after the game!
For the English media, which has always regarded fueling the flames and fanning the flames as their job, they will not care about the hidden story behind Tottenham's consecutive winless run. They will only launch more frenzied criticisms against Tottenham, which has been winless for four consecutive rounds. !
Therefore, Lineker is worried that Tottenham players and George will collapse under the attack of the media after losing to Chelsea, and return to the half-dead team that only knew how to hang around in the Premier League before George took over.
However, Lineker was gratified that in the face of the unfavorable situation of falling behind by one goal at the beginning, Tottenham players did not lose their position because of this. Instead, they withstood Chelsea's offensive after the game restarted, allowing their opponents to There is a chance to pursue victory!
After all, after the training in the previous games, especially after the head-to-head confrontation with Liverpool, the confidence of Tottenham players has been greatly improved - they can compete with a wealthy club like Liverpool. Up and down, and even the fact that they were leading the Red Army for a time in the game, it would be really strange if the confidence of Tottenham players cannot be improved.
As for the team's recent cycle of consecutive draws... Although most players in the Tottenham team know that there are factors in this that the team's offensive tactics are too monotonous and can be seen through by opponents, but they also know that as a regular team For a team in the rebuilding period, it is quite good for Tottenham to achieve its current results. You must know that unlike Chelsea, which mostly recruits famous stars who have already adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League and are ready to fight, Tottenham introduced mostly young players in the summer who lacked experience in top leagues. Even those with similar experience have basically not played in the Premier League. The experience of playing football and the change of players are much greater than that of the Blues, so it will naturally take more work for this team to get into shape.
Precisely because they were aware of this, Tottenham were not in a hurry to counterattack and regain the score after the game restarted. Under Carrick's command, the players carefully dealt with Chelsea on the court, taking solid defense as the top priority and resolutely not giving Chelsea players a chance to expand their lead!
After all, being behind by one goal and being behind by two goals are completely different situations for the side that is behind. The former only needs to wait patiently and look for opportunities to equalize the score. After all, a football match lasts for ninety minutes. Unless the strength of the two sides is extremely different, or the goal occurs at the end of the game, it is impossible. There is no chance at all; and the latter's situation is quite dangerous, because even if the lagging team can come back, they are still lagging behind their opponents on the court and still need to continue to struggle. Therefore, if a team falls behind by two goals in a game, it will undoubtedly be a great challenge to the mental endurance and willpower of the players on the trailing side!
Therefore, neither the Tottenham players on the field nor George on the sidelines wanted to see Chelsea lead by two goals.
However, reality always backfires. When the game progressed to the 24th minute, Chelsea once again seized the opportunity of Tottenham's offensive failure to launch a quick counterattack. Glen Johnson received Joe Cole's ball and rushed forward along the right side of the pitch. Facing Heinze's defense forced an overtake, and without waiting for Heinze to take any remedial measures, he directly made a high ball pass!
Although he has been criticized for his insufficient defensive attitude and frequent leaks, Glen Johnson can give Chelsea considerable help on the offensive end. Especially when Duff takes a rest tonight and Chelsea can only count on two full-backs for wing offense, Glen Johnson's advantage is naturally maximized!
Facing the flying ball, Crespo suppressed Vidic who was guarding him, blocked the Serbian and Montenegro central defender behind him, and then found the ball's landing point five meters in front of the goal and directly hit the goal with a flick of the head. !
Because Crespo's shot was too close, even if Cech made a save, there was no way to keep the ball out of the door. He could only watch in despair as the ball flew into the goal he was guarding for the second time!
Two to zero! With a header from Crespo, Chelsea once again expanded their lead just halfway through the first half!
Seeing that the goal guarded by Cech was once again broken by Chelsea, George couldn't sit still. After all, although George focused on inspecting the players' training results in the past two weeks tonight and did not make too many demands on the game results, if Tottenham loses too badly in this game, it will be difficult for the players to establish If their confidence is severely damaged and even makes them doubt this tactic, then George's hard work over the past month will be completely in vain.
The most important thing is that Drogba seems to be a little constrained by the missed opportunity at the beginning. After getting the ball, he will basically pass it to his teammates immediately, as if what is under his feet is not a ball but an explosive bag; Since the start of the new season, Vidic, who has been beaten 360 degrees by all forwards without blind spots, also has psychological problems. This can be seen from the fact that he was suppressed by the Argentinian when he defended Crespo before.
So, while the Chelsea players were celebrating their goals on the sidelines, George called Drogba and Vidic to the sidelines. In a relatively hidden corner, he used a hair dryer copied from Sir Alex Ferguson to blow them hard. Sprayed all over his body from head to toe, he used an angry curse to cheer up the two people who had performed poorly in this game: "Didier (Drogba), Nemanja (Vidic), I I didn’t bring you two to Tottenham just to watch your poor performances on the court! If you still want to prove yourself, just recall to me what you have learned in training these days... You must learn to move Brain! Don't always let your body act before your brain! And, Didier, if you let me see you get the ball again, it will be like getting a bomb. Believe it or not, I will never touch the ball again. ?!”
"Tell other people, especially Michael, that everyone will attack next, just like we did in training these two weeks!" Knowing that continuing to defend will definitely not save the situation of being two goals behind, George made made a decision, "I believe Ranieri, this guy who plans to hold on to the lead once he takes the lead will never let me down at this time!"
George's judgment was very accurate. On the other side, seeing that the team was already two goals ahead, Ranieri's conservative mentality once again took over. As a result, the Tinker made a decision that was regarded as "brainless" by countless media experts after the game: only Crespo, Mutu and Joe Cole were left in the frontcourt to prepare for counterattack, while the others shrank to their own side. Focus on defense in the half!
Although Chelsea used to focus on defensive counterattacks, Glen Johnson and Bridge on the wing also often participated in the offense, so the Blues' offense was still quite three-dimensional. But now, Ranieri's decision has abolished Chelsea's wing attack, and also freed up Heinze and Stephen Carr who did not dare to intervene easily!
The result of Ranieri's doing this was that Tottenham, whose defensive pressure was greatly reduced, held Chelsea in the half and beat them hard for the rest of the first half. Even Heinze and Karl repeatedly advanced to within thirty meters of the Chelsea goal to participate in the attack. One can imagine how vigorous Tottenham's offensive was during this period!
Faced with Tottenham's fierce offensive, Chelsea's defense inevitably showed a crack - in the 38th minute, Bierovka broke through Glen Johnson's defense for the nth time and sent a cross, followed up from the center. Drogba beat the 35-year-old Desailly with a header to help Tottenham regain the victory!
In this way, after Webb blew the whistle at the end of the first half, Tottenham Hotspur successfully recovered a point and entered the halftime break with a temporary one-goal deficit!
