The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 24 Guidance
  At the beginning of the second half, neither team made any substitutions.

The scene is almost identical to the second half of the first half.

Facing the iron barrel formation, Tottenham couldn't find a way at all.

The home team's penalty area was full of people. No matter how fast Bell was, no matter how clever the shot was by Brother Xiaosa, no matter how imaginative Leo's passing was, it was all in vain.

Bell's long shot was blocked, Leo's direct pass was blocked, and Robbie Keane shot again, but was blocked again.

Soon, the Lily Army's offensive had to slow down. Anyway, they were leading the score now. Even if they couldn't attack for a long time and fell down in the middle and backcourt, they would still win the game in the end.

In the 70th minute of the game, the score was still zero to one, with Bolton trailing Tottenham at home.

Martin Jol replaced Berbatov and Leo with Darren Bent and Tenio.

In fact, when they were replaced, both of them were still physically fit, but sometimes they gave the impression that they were exhausted on the court. Otherwise, why wouldn't they be willing to run even when they were playing football?

But just when everyone thought Tottenham had won this game, something happened on the field again!

Anelka dribbled the ball up front, and Tottenham defender Rosa, who was returning to defend, tackled the French forward with the ball outside the penalty area.

The referee of this game, Marina, whistled for a free kick and showed Rosa a yellow card.

Even at this time, Tottenham's players on the field did not pay much attention, but it was this carelessness that caused them to make fatal mistakes in the defense of free kicks!

Diouf's corner kick went into the penalty area, and the unmarked Bolton midfielder Campo scored with a header!

This time it was Tottenham's turn to be speechless. The home team equalized the score in the 88th minute of the game!
  The Lily Legion, which had led for almost a whole game, was equalized by its opponents near the end of the game.

This made the Tottenham players on the field a little confused, let alone them, the head coach was also stupid.

"Attack! Attack with all your strength!"

Martin Jol waved his hand, trying to get the boys to seize the last moment and score another goal.

However, Bolton once again retreated to its own penalty area, and Tottenham's attacks could only return in vain.

At the end of the game, Tottenham Hotspur tied with Bolton Wanderers 1-1 away from home.

It was obviously a draw, but Bolton was as happy as if they had won, while Tottenham was as frustrated as if they had lost.

The three points he got turned into one point, and it was hard for Martin Jol to feel good about it.

"There's nothing to say now. Let's talk about it when we get back to the training ground tomorrow!"

Although he failed to win the game, Leo had some unexpected gains.

Leo broke through with the ball from the wing, passed the ball and passed with the instep of his outside foot. Berbatov volleyed and scored!
  Their wonderful goal was also selected as the top five goals of the Premier League this week and was played repeatedly on TV.

"Of course, I saw that ball. Leonardo is a very talented young man."

Even Arsene Wenger, the head coach of Tottenham's rival Arsenal, was full of praise for Leo when he mentioned him in an interview.

What is Leo doing at this moment?

"The ball contact point is incorrect! Try again!"

"Not enough strength! Haven't you had enough to eat? Come again!"

"The position of the supporting foot is wrong, look at how I kicked it! Do you see it?"

On the Tottenham training ground, Berbatov was sweating profusely and coaching Leo.

Of course, this is neither hot nor tiring. The highest temperature in London at the end of September was only 20 degrees. This was a worry for the handsome brother who never likes to sweat. “I usually look pretty smart, but why can’t I learn?”

Leo smiled and said nothing.

It's not that he really couldn't teach it, but when the "enthusiastic" Berbatov asked him to teach him how to kick the outside instep, Leo found that the matching degree of his Berbat template was slowly increasing.

So Leo not only stalked Beiba to stay and train with him, but also deliberately pretended that he couldn't learn the instep when he was learning it, and let Brother Xiaosha teach it over and over again until the growth stopped.

During the run-up, place your left foot behind the ball to leave space, swing your right leg, tighten your ankle, raise your toes, exert force quickly, and hit the outer middle and lower part of the ball with the outer instep.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the ball draw an arc and fly across half the stadium and into the upper right corner of the goal!
  "Beautiful! Wouldn't it be over if we kicked like this earlier!"

Berbatov took the towel handed by Leo and wiped the sweat from his forehead, wondering when had my handsome brother ever been so embarrassed.

Obviously the technical essentials have been clearly explained to Leo a long time ago, and he has demonstrated it many times in person. Every time Leo's movements are not standard, he has pointed out one by one, but this kid just can't learn it.

It was almost getting dark before I finally made some progress.

"Oh, it's all my fault for being too slow in learning. Thanks to your patient teaching. Why don't Dimita go back and rest first, and I'll practice for a while by myself."

Berbatov took a swig of water and nodded.

"Okay, memorize all the essentials I told you. If you don't know how to do it, just send me a message and ask me."

At the end of today's training, Berbatov couldn't resist Leo's request and rarely stayed to practice with him.

The main content is about outside instep passing and shooting.

That's right, since you have practiced the outside instep, you can't just practice a cross, and shooting is also indispensable. To put it bluntly, whether it is passing or shooting, it is the use of the outside instep technology, which complements each other.

Leo has found the right person. Don't look at Ribeba who usually shows off his appearance. Occasionally he shows his hands and is amazing enough. When it comes to the skills of the outside of the instep, there are really few people in the Tottenham team who can compare with him. of.

Leo, who originally just wanted to practice the outer instep, unexpectedly got the wool from Berbatov. After practicing for a while, he ended the training and went home with satisfaction.

If you don't leave the base, the gatekeeper will come and scold you.

Three days later, Leo did not play in the League Cup in midweek, and Tottenham coach Martin Jol made extensive rotations.

Facing Middlesbrough at home, Tottenham, who played a rotating lineup, defeated their opponents 2-0 with goals from Defoe and Huddlestone and successfully advanced to the next round.

The League Cup win was completely ignored because it was nothing compared to the next game.

On Monday, October 1st, the highlight of the eighth round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur will sit at White Hart Lane to usher in the first round of the North London Derby of the season!

Compared to the Lily Legion, which has had ups and downs in performance, their archrival Arsenal is in hot shape since the start of the new season.

Wenger's team remains undefeated so far. Except for the one-to-one away draw with Blackburn Rovers, the Gunners have maintained a winning record!
  In the next game, Tottenham will face a rival that is in such great form.

You must know that since November 1999, Tottenham have never defeated Arsenal in a total of 11 encounters between the North London rivals.

Defeating the archrival at home is also the ardent expectation of countless Tottenham fans.

Martin Yoel knows very well that as long as he can win this game, his coaching position will be temporarily stable, but if he loses, it will be difficult to say.

"Strengthen the interception in the midfield, cut off the connection between Cesc Fabregas and the forwards, and keep a close eye on Adebayor. This Togolese has performed very well recently!"

The only good news may be that Tottenham captain and English defender Ledley King has returned from injury.
