Football King Bale

With the attention of the whole world, the second leg of the 2009-2010 North London Derby season began at White Hart Lane.

In fact, before the start of the game, all parties were not optimistic about Tottenham. In addition to the historical record of the two sides being unfavorable to Tottenham, this is also related to the preparations of both sides.

Before this game, Arsenal's most recent game was a week ago, when they lost 1:4 to Barcelona at the Camp Nou and ended in the Champions League quarter-finals. Spurs, meanwhile, had played Portsmouth in an FA Cup semi-final just three days earlier, when Redknapp's side battled for 90 minutes at the new Wembley Stadium. They defeated the deputy squad leader of the league with a score of 2:0 and successfully advanced to the FA Cup final, but it also caused a lot of consumption for the team. Judging from the preparations of both sides, Arsenal is completely waiting for work.

Because there was only a fierce battle with Portsmouth in the middle of the week, and there were many injuries in the team, Lao Lei's formation for this game seemed a bit stretched.

In the end, he formed a 532 formation. However, there are actually two teenagers born in the 1990s among the five defenders, and these two teenagers are starting for Tottenham in the league for the first time. They are Danny Rose on the left of the three central defenders and Kyle Walker on the right.

As for the other three defenders, they are center back and field captain Dawson, right center back Kabul and left back Asou Ector.

This is a very young defense line. The oldest captain, Dawson, is only 26 years old. The other four are Hector, 26 years old, and Kaboul, 24 years old. As for the two brats, Ross and Walker, they were born in July 1990. They were not even 19 years old in May 1990!

As for the three midfielders, they are also very young, 24-year-old Modric, 23-year-old Huddlestone and 20-year-old Bale!

Relatively speaking, the two players on the front line are slightly older, Pavlyuchenko is 28 years old and Defoe is 27 years old.

………………

Perhaps bullying this Tottenham team that was too young, Arsenal turned away from home after the game started, took the lead in launching an offensive, and almost scored in the second minute of the game.

Arsenal's offense was disrupted by Tottenham defenders and gave Arsenal a corner kick. Nasri took a corner kick from the left, and Arsenal center back Campbell shot in the penalty area. Hector blocked the ball on the goal line, and Arsenal almost succeeded in their first shot.

Campbell, who was born in the Tottenham youth training camp and played for Tottenham for 12 years, switched to North London rival Arsenal in the summer of 2001. He did not have the good luck of team legend and best goalkeeper in team history Jennings. Every time I return to White Hart Lane, I will be booed by the fans. This time was no exception. More than 30,000 Tottenham fans at the scene booed Campbell, mixed with some curses.

The second shot from both sides was still contributed by Arsenal. In the seventh minute of the game, Arsenal midfielder Eboue passed the ball, and Nasri's shot from 25 yards from the right was blocked by the Tottenham defender.

After overcoming Arsenal's opening attack, Tottenham also launched a counterattack and quickly scored.

In the 9th minute, Kabul dribbled the ball all the way from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and then made a cross at a 45-degree angle near the upper right corner of the penalty area. Pavlyuchenko's shot from 10 yards in front was blocked by Vermaelen. beam.

Originally, according to the team's arrangements, Bell was always the first choice for set kicks, including corner kicks and free kicks, and this time was naturally no exception.

In fact, Bell has no intention of staying on the court to grab points, because Henry is good at dribbling, passing and shooting.

As for grabbing points and headers in the penalty area, they are a bit unsatisfactory, which is a waste of his 1.88-meter height.

Both Bell himself and Henry had very good passing skills. His corner kick accurately reached the scheduled penalty spot. However, Pavlyuchenko was defeated in the confrontation with Campbell and the ball was Campbell's clearance pushed the bottom line.

Bell continues to take corner kicks on the right.

After Bell took the second corner kick, Almunia hit the ball out of the penalty area with one palm. Just when Bell thought that this corner kick had no effect, what happened in the next moment made Bell's eyes widen.

I saw that Danny Rose, who had been staying on the outside, preparing to block Arsenal's quick counterattack through Tottenham's corner kick, appeared in front of the ball hit by Almunia, and volleyed the ball from 30 yards. The ball roared The ball flew towards the goal. Although Almunia blocked it, it was to no avail. The ball hit the lower edge of the crossbar and then fell into the net.

It can be said that this is a super world wave and an unsolvable magic ball!

Rose, who scored the goal, was so excited that he ran around on the court like a child and made strange noises.

Perhaps the goal came so unexpectedly that he didn't even think of any action to celebrate it. After all, starting against a powerful enemy like the Gunners, Danny Rose, as a defensive player, would definitely not have thought that he would score.

Looking at the headless Danny Rose, Bell showed a knowing smile on his face. When he scored the first goal after crossing against Burnley, his mood should be similar to Danny Rose at the moment.

In the end, Danny Rose was knocked down on the court by several Tottenham teammates and played a game of Jenga.

………………

Arsenal were very annoyed by conceding the ball early and falling behind. After the game kicked off, they suppressed Tottenham with better ball control than Tottenham and continued to score goals.

In the 11th minute, Arsenal took possession of the ball and came to the frontcourt, and then suddenly separated. Clichy made a pass from the left, and Bendtner's header missed the left post.

In the 15th minute, Arsenal again controlled the ball and passed it to the frontcourt. Rosicky tried to shoot from 18 yards, and the ball again missed the left post.

Continuous offensives gradually improved Arsenal's morale, and their advantage on the field became more obvious. However, Arsenal's luck today was obviously not good. They did not score a goal to equalize the score, but instead lost a general first.

In the 20th minute, Arsenal was besieging Tottenham in the frontcourt, but their center back Vermaelen suddenly sat down on the lawn. Seeing that Vermaelen was still unable to stand up, the referee Clattenberg stopped the game.

Arsenal's team doctor came on stage to examine Vermaelen and then made a substitution signal to the sidelines. Vermaelen accidentally strained a muscle and was unable to continue playing.

Wenger was scolding his mother on the sidelines. The team's offensive was in full swing, but Vermaelen's injury interrupted the rhythm. It was really speechless.

Although he was annoyed, Wenger had no choice but to replace Vermaelen with Sylvester.

In the following game, Arsenal relied on their advantage in possession of the ball and still had the absolute upper hand on the field. Their possession rate was far ahead of Tottenham, and they also produced several extremely threatening shots.

Especially in the 27th minute of the game, Arsenal almost equalized the score. Arsenal played exquisite coordination, and then the Czech star Rosicky, known as the Mozart of football, sent a through ball, completely penetrating Tottenham's defense.

Confident Bendtner successfully countered offside and won a single opportunity. However, when the confident emperor faced the attacking Gomez, his confidence was too high. He chose to use his left foot to shoot into the far corner of the right goal post. As a result, the ball missed the goal post and went out of the baseline.

Facing such a good opportunity, he failed to seize it. The Confident Emperor was so ashamed that he covered his face with his hands and squatted on the spot, not daring to look at his teammates, let alone the fans on the stage.

………………

Seven minutes later, Arsenal once again came close to breaking through Tottenham's goal. They caused Modric to commit a foul in the frontcourt. While Modric was given a yellow card, Arsenal also received a free kick from the right side of the frontcourt.

Nasri came to handle the free kick. He chose to pass the free kick. Tottenham goalkeeper Gomez made a mistake and was caught by Campbell first. Campbell headed the ball from the left side of the penalty area. Rosicky's shot was barely blocked by Tottenham captain Dawson. Tottenham escaped again.

Seeing that the team was in continuous crisis, Bell felt that something was wrong and decided to fight back against Arsenal. So when Gomes took the kick and Huddlestone passed the ball to Modric, Bale leaned over and motioned for Modric to pass the ball to him.

Modric had great trust in Bale and immediately passed the ball over. After Bell got the ball, he walked forward with the ball. Denilson came to defend him, but Bell passed the ball past him. Denilson felt a little embarrassed and chose to bring Bell down from behind.

Clattenburg's whistle sounded, awarding Tottenham a free kick in the center circle and giving Denilson a yellow card.

The free kick was too far from the goal and Bell's free kick did not pose any threat. On the contrary, Arsenal immediately launched a counterattack, causing a foul by Tottenham center back Kaboul. While receiving a yellow card, Arsenal was given a free kick from a better position.

Nasri chose to take a direct free kick, but failed to control his power and fired the anti-aircraft cannon directly.

………………

After Arsenal attacked for a period of time, Tottenham also formed a sustained counterattack. Kaboul and Hector shot consecutively, but neither of them posed much of a threat. Kabul's shot from a small angle was easily confiscated by Almunia, while Hector's lob shot was higher than the goal.

The biggest threat came from Modric. After continuous breakthroughs in the frontcourt, he formed a single shot. His shot in the penalty area was blocked by Almunia.

After being attacked by Tottenham three times in a row, Arsenal formed another threatening attack near the end of the first half. Clichy passed the ball to the young Kyle Walker on the left, but when he caught the ball again, it was near the baseline. Clichy chose to shoot from a small angle, but the ball hit the side net. .

Subsequently, Clattenburg quickly blew the whistle to end the first half. With Danny Rose's unexpected and shocking kick, Tottenham led Arsenal 1:0 into the halftime break.
