The Godfather of Football

Chapter 414 Dreaming!

Beckham made a diagonal pass and quickly passed it to the right. Messi, who was still close to the right side, stopped the ball with his chest and skillfully dribbled it under his feet. Ashley Cole, who had made a mistake just now and accidentally slipped and fell to the ground after being pressed, was the first to get close to Messi.

Close to the side, Messi had no way to break through after getting the ball, so he had to dribble the ball while carrying it back.

Alves immediately rushed forward when he saw this situation, while Messi passed the ball back along the right boundary line. Joe Cole immediately pressed Alves. The Brazilian right back passed the ball to Thiago Silva without stopping, avoiding Joe Cole's pressing.

After Thiago Silva got the ball, Drogba approached him immediately, and at this time Fabregas reached out for the ball in front, and the Brazilian central defender immediately kicked the ball forward and passed it to Fabregas' feet.

The Spanish midfielder turned around directly after stopping the ball, because he had already observed the situation around him before receiving the ball. There was no one around, so he turned around directly after stopping the ball and dribbled forward. At this time, Messi's position was not too high, because he had to keep a certain distance from Fabregas and support his teammates.

But at this moment, Fabregas suddenly stopped and sent the ball forward directly.

This kick passed through the distance of at least 20 meters between Boulahrouz and Ashley Cole, and at this time Van Persie was ambushed beside Boulahrouz. When he saw Fabregas pass the ball, he rushed forward immediately.

Fabregas's pass was very accurate, and there was also a very clever part in the rebound after landing.

This was to avoid the interception of Boulahrouz and Ashley Cole in the middle, and also to make it easier for Van Persie to receive the ball after the ball entered the front court, because the ball slowed down at this time and there was no rotation. Van Persie could directly move forward after rushing up, without connecting the ball.

However, Van Persie probably didn't notice that Fabregas' pass would be so comfortable. When he first touched the ball, he took a big step. As a result, although he quickly caught up, he barely stopped the ball before the bottom line. At this time, Terry had returned to the penalty area, and Boulahrouz also arrived in front of Van Persie, blocking his cut.

Van Persie took the ball and faced Boulahrouz before the bottom line. This made him see that Ribery, who was supposed to be ambushing on the left, had run to the middle to respond, perhaps because he saw that the distance between him and Van Persie had lengthened, and was rushing forward quickly, so Van Persie immediately made a choice and passed the ball to the middle with his left foot.

This was a very fast ground ball, but it was close to the ground. Goalkeeper Hilario was guarding against Van Persie's shot, close to the post, and did not dare to relax at all. When he realized that the ball had rolled over, it was too late to stop it, and Terry reacted immediately and wanted to put the shovel.

But Terry was still a step too slow in his tackle. Ribery, who quickly came in from behind, got ahead of everyone and passed the ball into Chelsea's goal, because there was almost a large empty goal in front of him!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Accompanied by Andy Gray's exclamation, Ribery opened his arms and rushed towards Van Persie, who was laughing loudly with his mouth wide open. The two hugged each other tightly on the sidelines, and Messi, Fabregas and other players also rushed up quickly. All the Tottenham players gathered together on the sidelines to celebrate the team's goal.

"Ribery, Frank Ribery, scored a goal for Tottenham in the 81st minute!"

"It was a very, very beautiful ground ball from Van Persie, and it was very comfortable. Ribery only needed to push the ball in front of the goal and it went in. After Van Persie came on the court, Tottenham's offense was really lively and flexible. Chelsea was a little bit beaten and completely lost!"

As Andy Gray was talking, the big screen in the stadium kept replaying the whole process of the goal, from Messi holding the ball close to the right, to passing it back to Alves, to giving it to Thiago Silva, to Fabregas, and then a straight pass, which was really just right.

"Fabregas's straight pass was indeed very comfortable and penetrating, and the distance between Boulahrouz and Ashley Cole was indeed lengthened."

Richard Keys was also very excited, nodding his head and smiling, "It was lengthened, because we noticed that during the entire offensive process, Messi noticed that Ashley Cole was staring at him, so he simply did not participate and stayed close to the wing. Didn't you want to stay close to me? Come to the wing!"

"Right!" Andy Gray also thought so, "Ashley Cole probably wanted to avenge the interception just now. He didn't consider that he and Messi were close to the wing, which would inevitably lead to a lengthened distance between him and the central defender, and this was not a big problem for the attacker. Messi could still receive the ball on the wing, but for the defender, it was a loophole!"

"Yes, Tottenham's attack was really smart this time!" Richard Keys kept praising.

"Whether it's Messi pulling wide or Cesc Fabregas' through ball, if you look at Robin van Persie's ground ball after he finally stopped the ball, the passing route is very clear, very precise and fast, but It is almost not difficult for Ribery to follow up and hit the goal, but if it is a defensive player, it is really not easy to intercept such a ball. "

Andy Gray laughed after hearing this, "If Terry had shoveled earlier, maybe it would have been an own goal!"

"And Hilario, what are you doing right next to the post? You should expand your defensive area. This is a lack of confidence in your ability. If he stands further outside, he can fly and save the ball. Stop, but he stayed close to the post, obviously making the wrong judgment that Van Persie would hit the goal directly. "

Richard Keith couldn't help but smile after analyzing this: "Tottenham Hotspur's offense is indeed very impressive. If you look at them throughout the game so far, they have only made a few attacks. And almost every attack can create a threat. Just now, Van Persie hit the crossbar with a powerful volley, and now he assisted his teammates to score with another kick. "

"The performance of this Dutch striker is indeed very impressive. Let's look at the slow motion again. Only then did I realize that when he first touched the ball, it was obviously too big!"

Richard Keith's discovery made Andy Gray laugh.

"It was indeed a big move, but he reacted very quickly. He immediately caught up to stop the ball and then passed the ball across. The cooperation between Ribery and Robin van Persie was also very interesting. After Van Persie pulled to the right, he immediately pulled from the left to the center. , and at this time, left back Vargas has rushed forward, and Tottenham Hotspur's entire offensive system is very three-dimensional and very tight."

During the analysis of the two on-site commentators, all the Chelsea fans at the scene were booing in dissatisfaction and calling for the team to make substitutions quickly. Many fans were chanting to attack and score goals. It can be said that The crowd was furious.

"The current situation is very unfavorable for Chelsea. If they can't get points from Tottenham Hotspur in this game, then even if Manchester United loses, they still won't win the championship!"

"Yes!" Richard Keith took over Andy Gray's words, "I remember Ye Qiu once jokingly said to Ferguson before the game, we will give you a league championship if Manchester United loses this game. , and Tottenham Hotspur defeated Chelsea, then Tottenham Hotspur really gave Manchester United a championship!”

Andy Gray laughed. This statement is indeed a bit far-fetched. After all, the championship is not decided by one game, but it does make some sense, because if Manchester United fails to live up to its expectations and loses to Portsmouth, then no Is it equivalent to handing over the championship to Chelsea?

Tottenham Hotspur defeated Chelsea, which is equivalent to becoming an unsung hero and giving the championship to Manchester United!

"I guess Ferguson is going crazy with joy at this time!" Andy Gray laughed.

Richard Keith noticed that Mourinho was yelling furiously on the sidelines, obviously very angry about the game, and Kalou was also waiting to come on the sidelines, and there was also Ah Lennon, Mourinho is planning to make two substitutions at once.

"Now is the last ditch effort for Chelsea. There should be about ten minutes left. If they can't score Tottenham Hotspur's goal in these ten minutes, they will give up the league championship. Trophy!”

As expected, Mourinho was making substitutions, replacing Kalou and Aaron Lennon successively, and replacing Boraluz and Ballack, obviously to further strengthen the team's frontcourt offensive capabilities.

Tottenham Hotspur also made substitutions immediately. Ye Qiu replaced Cesc Fabregas, who was a little physically weak, with Yaya Toure, but he did not replace him with a full-back, but asked the team to shrink the defense. Strategy to block Chelsea's attack.

Therefore, after the restart, Tottenham Hotspur's midfield and backfield were closely connected, and even the frontcourt trident actively participated in counterattacks and defense. Because the team as a whole was deep, Chelsea's The attack is no longer a mobile battle, but a critical battle.

One thing I have to admit is that once Chelsea attacks like crazy, the momentum is still very threatening. Tottenham Hotspur are also suppressed and find it difficult to play threatening attacks. On the contrary, they are created by Chelsea time and time again. Fortunately, Cech performed very steadily.

One of them happened in the 87th minute. Drogba returned a header. Lampard followed up and hit the goal directly. Cech quickly shot the ball out with one hand, and then Duff followed up with a volley. Cech blocked the ball out of the baseline again with his leg.

Both saves resolved Tottenham Hotspur's goal crisis, and also allowed Tottenham Hotspur to quickly re-stabilize the situation and position. The Chelsea fans at the scene were bombarded. Obviously Cech played better. Well, they will feel even more unhappy.

And Abramovich, Pini Zahavi, Grant and Mourinho on the sidelines in the VIP box felt very uncomfortable when they saw Cech's performance and saves like a miracle. Because this player originally belonged to Chelsea, but because of Ye Qiu's intervention, Cech finally switched to Tottenham Hotspur.

On the other hand, Chelsea sold Edwin van der Sar and failed to bring in Cech, which directly led to serious problems with Chelsea's goalkeeper position. They even had to rely on a goalkeeper who was not even well-known in the Portuguese league this season, Sheila. Leo.

Thinking of this, the Chelsea management felt very uncomfortable.

But there was another person who couldn't help but praise Ye Qiu in his heart, that is Peter Kenyon who was sitting in the business district.

For the current situation of Chelsea, Peter Kenyon felt that it was completely beyond his expectations, because the internal conflicts and consumption of the team had seriously affected the team, and Abramovich's excessive interference also made the team more and more chaotic.

As the extension of Abramovich's will, Pini Zahavi, Grant and Arnesen obviously formed two factions with the head coach Mourinho and the agent Jorge Mendes. The two sides repelled and attacked each other, and in the end no one was able to get the benefits. At least from the transfer and lineup of Chelsea in the past two years, the team's strength has not improved at all.

The arrival of Mourinho and Mendes allowed Chelsea to introduce many Portuguese players, but there is probably only one player who can play the value and effect from Chelsea, Carvalho. The other players are basically priced high, and a bit outrageous, but the most important thing is that they have not been able to play the strength.

A strong winger and a goalkeeper, this is what Peter Kenyon suggested to Abramovich this season, and it is also what Mourinho wants, but who could have thought that the player introduced was Alan Lennon. Is there any difference between this player and Duff and Wright-Phillips?

More importantly, Ye Qiu is too black-hearted. Alan Lennon cheated Chelsea of ​​25 million euros. Although Alan Lennon performed very well in the World Cup, it shouldn't be so expensive, right?

There is also Ledley King, one of the best central defenders in the Premier League last season. It is said that he is worth 30 million euros, plus he is a local star in England, so this price is not too high, but the problem is that after coming to Chelsea, he has been injured constantly and has almost never played two consecutive complete games.

On the other hand, Ribery, Messi, Van Persie and Fabregas, who left Chelsea this season, have been activated in Tottenham Hotspur. This group of young players has become the core force of Tottenham Hotspur.

Moreover, as the owner of the team, Ye Qiu obviously knows how to run a team better than Abramovich. At least he will not rashly intervene in areas he is not good at, such as business, which he has handed over to Eliza Moon to take charge of, and he focuses on the competitive field.

But Abramovich is different. Whether it is business or sports, he wants to intervene, but the problem is that he is not familiar with these businesses. If he intervenes rashly, plus he is the boss, it will bring some bad effects to everyone.

Thinking of this, Peter Kenyon suddenly felt that from the current situation, it seems that Tottenham Hotspur has more prospects and a better future than Chelsea. At least for a professional manager like him, Tottenham Hotspur will have better space and opportunities to display his talents and strengths.

But no one in Stamford Bridge cares about what Peter Kenyon is thinking, and even Arnesen, who is sitting not far from him, will not bother to guess, because everyone is focused on the game.

Tottenham Hotspur actively stabilized its defense, which made it difficult for Chelsea's offense to create threatening opportunities, and Cech's performance also made Tottenham Hotspur's goal very solid.

In this case, not only the fans were irritated, but the players and even the coaching staff on the sidelines also became irritated.

As time entered the final stage, Chelsea could almost be said to be pressing forward, because now for them, losing one goal is also losing the championship, losing ten goals is still losing the championship, but if they can score one goal, they will be the league champion.

Therefore, Chelsea played to the end, and even the goalkeeper pressed forward to participate in the attack.

Tottenham Hotspur retreated across the board, and the three lines remained very compact, which made Chelsea, who were not good at teamwork in a small range, unable to find an effective means of attack. Even Joe Cole could not hold the ball stably.

And just after a pass error, Thiago Silva suddenly kicked the ball forward with a big foot.

Tottenham Hotspur's Van Persie rushed out of the crowd, while Ribery and Messi also rushed in from both sides. The opponent's goalkeeper Hilario followed Van Persie closely, and the two were competing in speed.

Van Persie finally stopped the ball, but he couldn't turn around and knocked it back to Messi who was following behind him.

The young Argentine player didn't hesitate at all. He faced the ball and kicked a curve ball at least 30 meters away from the goal, trying to hit the empty goal directly.

The ball was spinning in the air. All the fans and coaches at Stamford Bridge, all the fans and viewers in front of the TV, and even the live broadcast of the game were aimed at this shot. It was a bit slow, but no matter how slow it was, it was not something that people in the field could catch up with. Everyone watched the ball, watching it climb and fall.

Just when everyone realized that this shot would go in, they heard the ball hit the crossbar and bounced to the ground. At this time, Hilario returned to the penalty area and hugged the ball tightly in his arms.

For a moment, everyone felt a sense of surprise at having survived a disaster. Everyone was secretly celebrating and breathing a sigh of relief.

If the ball had gone in, the game would have been completely over.

Messi was regretful and waved his fist hard there, but considering that the shot was so far away and was shot in a hurry, it was pretty good to be able to hit it like this.

Then Chelsea's offense didn't seem to dare to press forward rashly anymore, because Tottenham Hotspur's counterattack was so powerful. They almost scored a goal just now, but they still don't know how to close it now?

After entering stoppage time, Tottenham Hotspur first fell to the ground after Ribery suffered a foul. He was angrily reprimanded by the home team fans and head coach Mourinho for deliberately delaying time, and then Ye Qiu made another move. Substitution also meant delaying time, which made Mourinho on the sidelines furious, pointing at Ye Qiu and scolding him.

"Just save it. I've been attacking for ninety minutes but couldn't score. Can you score now?"

Ye Qiu fired back at Mourinho with a sneer, "If you want to win the Four Crowns, go home and dream of your dreams!"

In this way, amid the verbal battle between the coaches of the two teams, the referee finally blew the whistle to end the game.
