Born to be a coach [soccer]

Chapter 159

Tottenham's home stadium, White Hart Lane, is not considered a big stadium among the home clubs of the Premier League. It can only accommodate 36000 fans, which is much smaller than the Stadium of Light-but this does not prevent Tottenham from becoming another Premier League home stadium. "Devil" home.

The structure of the stadium is very compact, but the Tottenham fans are very enthusiastic and very excited to meet the game.In addition, White Hart Lane has its own "curse" aura. Northwest giants such as Liverpool and Manchester United have always been unable to please White Hart Lane. The "mortal enemy" Arsenal has won only a handful of games on this land. .

So Tottenham fans are not afraid of Sunderland at all-don't tell them that Sunderland is an upstart in the Premier League, they are not afraid of whoever comes.

Before the start of the game, van der Vaart came to the court to warm up.A huge banner was displayed on the Tottenham main stand, with the Tottenham logo painted on it, and Van der Vaart's name "Raphael" was written on it. The fans shouted together into the field: "We love you!" Excited and excited, people frequently reached out and blew kisses to the stands.

Van der Vaart transferred from Real Madrid to Tottenham at a price of 800 million pounds, largely because he could not play the main force in the star-studded Real Madrid, was gradually marginalized, and was eventually purged.But when he arrived at Tottenham, he won the love of the fans in just a few games. How could the Dutch not be excited?

The visiting team fan area is in the northwest corner of the stadium, an inverted triangle, there are not many people in the front row seats, and everyone sits together in the back row.Sunderland fans feel that there is no sense of presence at White Hart Lane.

The neutral fan area is mostly fans who came to see Messi, a group of three, a group of five, slightly scattered.

After a while, the referee blew his whistle and the game started.The two famous mouthpieces of Sky Sports chatted while watching the game.

"Hey, I think Van der Vaart has a very strong desire to win today, and he is in a hot state!" At the beginning of the game, Richard Keys had a hunch that Van der Vaart would definitely score today.

"Sunderland has Messi!" Andy Gray's face was indifferent - in his eyes, a Dutch player transferred from La Liga for 800 million pounds could not be compared with the Golden Globe winner.

Keith took a look at the field. Messi seemed to be strolling around the midfield, "Yeah, Messi always feels calm and not panicked at all." But no matter what, he seemed to be No van der Vaart excitement.

"Defoe and Bale look positive too -" added Richard Keys.

"Hey, why don't you look at who is in Sunderland's formation." Gray was still very indifferent.

Sunderland's offensive formation today is a very successful formation that has been verified several times: Vardy is at the top, Messi is behind him as a false nine, Royce and Shaqiri are preparing to fly together on the left and right wings.No matter how you look at this formation, it is an "upgraded version" of the Sunderland team that defeated Tottenham in the FA Cup last season.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Gray hugged his head and yelled.

"Oh no--"

Tottenham even scored.

So fast?

The game only went on to the first 4 minutes.

It was van der Vaart who scored the goal. The Dutchman received a second pass from Modric and volleyed vigorously from outside the penalty area.Sunderland goalkeeper Gordon's line of sight was blocked, and it was too late when he wanted to react with a save.

The ball crashed into the net.Tottenham fans instantly went crazy.

——Perfect start!

Van der Vaart has already quickly ran into the goal, fished out the ball, held it in his arms and ran towards the middle circle.This kind of situation generally only occurs when the game is about to end, and the trailing side is eager to equalize the score, so they will rush to kick off.

But now the game has only been going on for 5 minutes.Could it be that Van der Vaart wants to score more than just one goal today?

In the live broadcast room, Andy Gray became silent visibly. He might feel that Tottenham's home court is too strong, and his 20 pounds are a bit in jeopardy.

Sure enough, the game progressed to the 25th minute in the first half.Bell went down and cut inside to the left side of the penalty area.Gordon originally thought that Bell would shoot directly, but Bell stretched out his foot and knocked horizontally, and the cross was passed to Van der Vaart who stepped forward to outflank the goal.Van der Vaart swung his left leg back and volleyed the ball with the heel of his left foot.The ball slid past Gordon, who made an emergency attack, and slid into the net.

This goal was so wonderful that the fans at White Hart Lane almost went crazy. They just stood on the seats and sang and danced on the seats.

This is the legendary "scorpion wagging its tail"!Van der Vaart became famous a few years ago with this shocking kick.

In the live broadcast room of Sky Sports, Richard Keith yelled, and Andy Gray thumped the table heavily, and then buried his head under the table.

Such a wonderful goal is really rare.

Lao Lei, who introduced Van der Vaart, is indeed a senior coach with sharp eyesight and discerning eyes.

Although he is still a shrewd businessman who lowers the price at the last moment.

Sunderland is in trouble today.

Because Van der Vaart's goal was so wonderful, the broadcast screen replayed this "scorpion wagging its tail" several times from various angles.

"What's going on?" Richard Keith, who heard the voice at the scene, felt something was wrong.

"My God—, it won't...it won't be..."

When the director hurriedly cut back to the scene of the stadium, the two commentators were a little confused: Why did Sunderland gather together to celebrate?

In White Hart Lane, in the small fan area of ​​the visiting team, all the Sunderland fans also stood up, arms crossed arms, shouting while jumping——

Don't underestimate us, the game will never end so early!

It turned out that in less than a minute of playing Van der Vaart's "scorpion tail" just now, Sunderland launched an attack from the center circle. With Vardy's assist, Messi scored a goal and pulled back a goal. .

Today's director's reaction was a little slow, but Sunderland's actions were too fast, and the goal was completed before the screen cut back-naturally, the TV audience could only see Sunderland celebrating.

In the center of White Hart Lane, Sunderland players stepped forward and hugged Messi.

Sunderland has had a very good start this season. Sunderland is also leading more often than lagging behind.Being scored two goals so quickly by the opponent is an extremely damaging thing for self-confidence.If it cannot be recovered in time, the mentality of the players will be affected immediately.

Messi stood up at this time, caught him off guard by surprise, and while the opponent was still immersed in the excitement of the magical goal, with his skills and talent, he completed a goal like lightning.

Captain Garner was especially grateful to Messi, who was the first to rush to hug Messi.

Messi has never used words to motivate his teammates, yelled and waved like he and Henderson. Messi rarely even speaks on the field; but when the team is difficult, he can use his extraordinary Ability to break the deadlock for the team and give the whole team a shot in the arm at the most critical time.

The score was tied at 2:1.

Richard Keith reached out his hand: "20 pounds, here!"

Andy Gray gave him a blank look: "Who promised to bet with you?"

Tottenham fans feel that their heads have been poured with cold water.

Sunderland fans regained hope of an equalizer.

But everyone has a hunch that this will be a crazy game, and it is likely to be a goal shootout.

In the 32nd minute, Bell scored Tottenham's third goal, extending the gap to two goals.

In the 34th minute, Royce broke through with the ball and reached the front of Tottenham's penalty area. Everyone thought he would shoot by himself.Reus knocked the ball to Vardy - he scored an assist and Vardy scored a goal.

The development of the situation is faster than expected.In the 39th minute, Sunderland launched an attack again and reached Tottenham's goal. Unfortunately, the ball was confiscated by the goalkeeper.Tottenham goalkeeper Gomez drove the ball into the frontcourt with a big kick. Modric broke through after taking the ball, but was helplessly brought down by Godin.Sunderland likes to mention the yellow card plus free kick package.

Van der Vaart showed his beautiful free-kick footwork, and it was done overnight.The score rose to 4-2.

All Tottenham fans are crazy about it again-the first half is not over yet, Van der Vaart has completed his first hat-trick in the Premier League.

However, for the players on the field, the score is no longer important.At this time, everyone's eyes were already red-eyed, and no one cared about the score.

After Sunderland re-kicked off, they slowly looked for opportunities near the midfield.At this time, both sides on the field ushered in a low point of physical fitness. The overall age of Tottenham players was older than that of Sunderland, and their running speed on the field had slowed down.

Sunderland's players were still running tirelessly, repeatedly pulling Tottenham's defense.

Finally, in the 43rd minute, Sunderland scored again, chasing the score to 4 to 3, and Messi scored twice.No one at White Hart Lane could believe that they had seen seven goals in the first half alone.

In the live broadcast room, Andy Gray slumped on a chair and sighed: "I think I've been squeezed out at halftime..." This game was too fierce, with goals kept scoring and conceding goals, Gray's voice Almost shouted dumb.

The same is true for Richard Keith, softly said: "Who am I, where am I, and why did I watch this game?"

On the sidelines coaching bench, Anton folded his arms as usual, pacing repeatedly in the command area.

The whole court was ignited by this fierce competition, but he felt inexplicably anxious.

Within 45 minutes, the two sides scored a total of 7 goals. This is of course because their respective forward lines are very strong, but from another perspective: both sides are scumbag defenses. Under the pressure of each other's attack lines, Both were beaten into a sieve in a tacit understanding.

He couldn't help taking a look at Lao Lei, only to see Lao Lei sitting on the coach's bench, with his back to Anton, discussing something with the assistant coach, while the Tottenham assistant coach was nervous, listening and talking quickly. Diary.Lao Lei should have also realized that something was wrong with the team's defense, and he was arranging the tactics for the second half in order to make a difference.

It may be that the Tottenham assistant coach noticed Anton's gaze and reminded Old Lei.Old Lei suddenly turned around and glanced at Anton.

Anton made up his own brain, and Lao Lei should be saying: Young man, the fight is not over, the second half will continue.

The author has something to say: Speaking of goal battles, there is a Premier League goal battle that is particularly impressive: Arsenal vs. Chelsea, the two teams scored 5-3, and Van Persie scored a hat-trick.I was deeply impressed because I was watching the ball at the Stadium of Light at that time, and squatted in the rest area of ​​the stadium to watch the TV broadcast before the game started.At that time, everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the successive goals.I saw 4:3 at the time, and then I went in to watch the Sunderland game, and only after I came out did I realize that the game here was 5:3, and the last goal of Van Persie’s hat-trick was missed/(ㄒoㄒ)/~ ~
