Football King Bale

In fact, in the Premier League era, Chelsea was Tottenham's biggest sufferer. In 35 games between the two sides in 18 seasons, Tottenham's record was a pitiful 2 wins, 12 draws and 21 losses. The winning rate was even worse than the 3 wins, 7 draws and 25 losses against Manchester United.

In people's impression, Chelsea is an upstart who suddenly rose up after the Russians took over. In fact, this is a prejudice. In fact, before Abramovich took charge of Chelsea, Chelsea, led by Hasselbaink, Zola and others, was already a strong team in the Premier League. They reached the top six in the Premier League in the 1996-1997 season, and It has remained stable and stayed in the top four most of the time.

In front of such a strong team, Tottenham's record against them will naturally not be much better.

Because they only won Arsenal at home three days ago, this greatly improved the morale of Tottenham players. Therefore, even when facing the bitter host Chelsea, Tottenham played very proactively after the start.

Especially the left wing where Bell is located has become the launching point of Tottenham's offense.

………………

After defeating Arsenal in the last game, Bell, who scored a goal, received two lottery opportunities, and ended up winning one experience card each from Lampard and Ashley Cole.

Bell also had some bad taste. He simply used the experience cards of Terry and Vidic, plus the experience card of Ashley Cole, and exchanged them for a two-star Ashley Cole experience card, and then used in this game.

Of course, Bell did this not just for bad taste, but also to take advantage of Ashley Cole's ability. In this strong dialogue with Chelsea, Tottenham's defense is under great pressure. Bell must frequently return to defense during the game to help Hector. In this case, Ashley Cole's attributes as an authentic left back can play a big role.

At the same time, Ashley Cole also has strong offensive capabilities. Known as the world's number one left back, he is not only super fast, but also has good dribbling ability.

Of course, the Chelsea star is best known for his love story, his wife Cheryl, but her sweet appearance and hot figure have made her a goddess in the eyes of the British people, plus the smile on her cheeks Dimples, very flattering. Ashley Cole has also become the envy and jealousy of thousands of British men because of the beauty he brought home.

However, the left-back has been in constant trouble recently. Not only did he have to recuperate for two or three months due to injury, but his relationship with Cheryl also experienced a major crisis due to frequent cheating. As a time traveler, Bell knew that Cole would soon be divorcing his British sweetheart wife.

………………

Bell's activity on the left caused Chelsea's defense on this side to be frequently in trouble, and subsequently the entire defense line became somewhat unstable.

In the first ten minutes, Tottenham made 5 crosses and 4 shots.

However, Chelsea's defense is the strongest in the Premier League and is not inferior to the Manchester United defense combination of Vidic and Ferdinand, so Tottenham failed to score during this period.

Of course, this is also related to the looser penalty standards of referee Dodd. Because of some of Chelsea's heavy-handed defense, Dodd did not call a foul, which also caused the home team fans in the stands to boo.

In particular, Defoe and Bale were brought down by Chelsea defenders in the Chelsea penalty area one after another, but Dodd showed no sign of it. This made the home team fans even more angry, with shouts and boos resounding throughout the White Hart Lane stadium.

As the saying goes, people walk by the river;

How can we not get wet shoes? Chelsea was eventually awarded a penalty kick for a foul in the penalty area.

This time it was Bell's cross from the left. Tottenham's Russian high center Pavlyuchenko headed the ball from the left side of the penalty area to the goal. When Terry was defending Defoe, he secretly batted the ball with his hand. He thought he could escape punishment by carrying Dodd on his back, but the linesman saw it and told the referee Dodd.

Dodd did not hesitate to impose the penalty and award Tottenham a penalty.

Chelsea players naturally disagreed with this penalty. Among them, Alex reacted the most violently and made rude remarks to Dodd, which resulted in a yellow card. Naturally, the penalties for penalty kicks will not change.

At this time, a very heartwarming scene happened on the court. Defoe, the team's first penalty kicker, walked up to Bell and motioned for him to take the penalty kick.

The battle between Bale, Drogba and Rooney for the Premier League Golden Boot has yet to be decided.

Currently, Bell leads the list with 27 goals, followed by Rooney with 26 goals, and Drogba has also raised his goals to 25.

Defoe now has only 17 goals and is unlikely to compete. So he gave Bell the penalty kick opportunity so that Bell could score one more goal and expand his lead.

However, Bell did not agree. This was not because he was afraid of taking penalty kicks, but because he believed that he was a wall hanging and it would be too bullying to take penalty kicks.

In the end, Defoe took the penalty kick. He easily hit the penalty kick to help Tottenham take the lead.

………………

This penalty gave Chelsea a breath of relief. After the game restarted, they finally stabilized their position and launched a threatening offensive.

In the 19th minute of the game, Chelsea passed the ball continuously in the frontcourt and sent the ball into Tottenham's penalty area. Joe Cole suddenly moved forward, got the ball in the penalty area, and shot.

However, Tottenham's defensive players were very focused, and Dawson immediately came up to block Joe Cole's shot. However, Joe Cole reacted quickly and immediately grabbed the ball's landing point and made a pass near the left line of the penalty area.

In the penalty area, Drogba once again grabbed the spot, but because the shot was too hasty, not in the right position, and the ball speed was not fast, Gomez easily confiscated the shot.

Because they took the lead early, Tottenham players played very confidently today. They competed with Chelsea in the midfield and did not fall behind at all.

This Chelsea team is indeed very strong, but the mark left by Mourinho is too obvious. Even after Ancelotti took over, he still couldn't change much. Therefore, Chelsea's positional offensive ability is very average. It is okay to bully a weak team, but if they really want to open up a position to attack a strong team, it will be difficult for them to take advantage.

The two sides went back and forth, but it was Tottenham who once again took the lead in threatening Chelsea's goal.

In the 25th minute, Bell broke through Chelsea's defense on the left and sent a very beautiful pass. Pavlyuchenko easily received the ball from outside the edge of the penalty area on the left, turned and volleyed.

This kick was powerful and heavy. Even if the kick was very positive, Cech did not dare to catch the ball and chose to throw the ball over the crossbar.

Five minutes later, Tottenham made a comeback. Modric passed Ferreira on the left side of the penalty area and passed in. Bentley's shot from the edge of the penalty area missed the near corner.

………………

The passivity on the court made Ancelotti unable to sit still. Only half an hour into the game, he played the first card in his hand: he replaced Mikel with Ballack to strengthen the team. attack.

Replacing a defensive midfielder with an organizational midfielder, Chelsea strengthened its ability to control the field, and the disadvantage in the situation was gradually reversed. Moreover, in the 39th minute of the game, Chelsea almost equalized the score.

The ball came from Ballack's dispatch in the midfield. He suddenly passed the ball to Zhirkov on the left. Zhirkov made a pass from the bottom and Malouda scored with a low shot from the left side of the penalty area.

Chelsea players excitedly ran to the bottom of the stands where Chelsea fans were, preparing to celebrate the goal. However, the referee's whistle did not sound to indicate that the goal was valid. Instead, the linesman on the wing made an offside signal.

The slow motion shows that Malouda was indeed in a more obvious position when he received the ball. The referee in this game finally did not make the mistake made by the referee in the Dream Theater two rounds ago and dismissed a goal that was more than one meter offside.

Chelsea had a great opportunity but failed to score. Soon they were hit again and they conceded another goal!

When the first half was about to enter stoppage time, Tottenham played exquisite cooperation in the frontcourt. Modric passed the ball from the middle to find Pavlyuchenko at the front of the penalty area. After receiving the ball, the latter did not choose to dribble the ball into the penalty area. Instead, he suddenly distributed the ball to the left, where Bell was already advancing at high speed.

Bell, who was running, received the ball from Pavlyuchenko.

Today, Chelsea's defensive strength is very weak. The three-back system often leaves gaps in their defense on the wing, and it is difficult for a single defensive midfielder to take care of both sides. After receiving Pavlyuchenko's pass, Bell could directly face the Chelsea goal.

Chelsea players are very aware of how big a threat Bell is. Seeing Bell receiving the ball, Ferreira rushed over in a hurry, trying to prevent Bell from shooting. But he pounced too quickly and was easily passed by Bell with a fake shot and a real dunk.

At this time, there was no defensive player in front of Bell. He pushed the ball forward, entered the small penalty area, and shot before Cech arrived at the near corner. As a result, the ball had already missed Cech before he could reach it. He hit the inside of the goal post and entered the goal.

2:0!

Bell's goal helped Tottenham take a two-goal lead in the first half!

This situation made the more than 30,000 Tottenham fans at the scene so excited that they couldn't believe it. When did Tottenham actually lead Chelsea by two goals at half-time?

Not only the Tottenham fans couldn't believe it, but even the Tottenham players couldn't believe the result. This caused their mood to fluctuate greatly, and they played a little absent-mindedly in the next game.

Facing a strong team like Chelsea, any relaxation is very dangerous. This time Tottenham almost lost the goal at the last moment of the first half and were pulled back by Chelsea. Zhirkov created a breakthrough on the left, and then made an easy cross under the protection of Kabul's eyes.

What's even more fatal is that Tottenham's defense actually missed Lampard, allowing him to easily get a shot in the penalty area. The unguarded Lampard volleyed. Fortunately, goalkeeper Gomez was in excellent condition today and flew to save Lampard's shot.
