The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 605 Don't let them get out of here alive!

Regarding Ye Qiu's long-term plan to return to the top of Europe after three years of adjustments proposed by the coaching staff, Tottenham Hotspur still have full confidence in this. This is not only because the team's management is getting better and better. More importantly, the team has a group of outstanding stars.

It was as if after two weeks of national team matches, the eighth round of the Premier League reignited. Tottenham Hotspur played an away game against Fulham on the afternoon of October [-], but Ye Qiu did not The arrangement includes David Silva and other players who played the whole game in the national team, and the front center also arranged for Raul to start instead of Cavani.

It's just that Messi, Ribery and other players also all started, because this time they all returned to the team early, and Ye Qiu had already negotiated with the Argentine and French national teams before, so he took care of several players in the team. Use it.

This round is the grave of a strong team, because after a two-week national team game break, the team's state and rhythm have been disrupted, so Manchester United, West Ham United and Chelsea have all encountered draws. Many people are worried, wondering if Tottenham Hotspur will be like Manchester United and other teams.

But Ye Qiu made it clear before this game that he was satisfied with the current state of the team.

Tottenham Hotspur's rotation in this game is not small, the goalkeeper is Cech, the defense is Alba, Kompany, Thiago Silva and Kyle Walker, and the midfielder is It is Coutinho, Yaya Toure and Fabregas, and the front trident is Ribery, Raul and Messi.

At Craven Cottage, as referee Mike Dean blew the whistle to start the game, Tottenham Hotspur's Raul kicked the ball in the center circle to Messi, who passed it back into midfield Yaya Toure, who knocked back to Kompany at the back, and the whole process was exactly like all the games in the past.

Fulham's players quickly penetrated into the Tottenham Hotspur formation, ready to put pressure on Tottenham Hotspur at the first time, it is best to make it difficult for the North London team to immediately It formed a fierce offensive. After all, Tottenham Hotspur's offense is a nightmare for all opponents.

Many people praise Chelsea's offense, but in fact Chelsea's offense is very dependent on Drogba, but Tottenham's offense is different. This team has many offensive points and rich offensive routines, whether it is ground ball or Set-pieces, they all have enough means to score goals. This team's offense is more difficult to defend than Chelsea.

The ball fell to Kompany's feet, and then passed to Coutinho who retreated to the left area to take the ball. About 20 seconds passed.

I believe that at this moment, Fulham's players must still be adjusting their rhythm, guessing when, from what angle, and in what way Tottenham Hotspur will attack.

But at this moment, Coutinho suddenly made a long pass with a short, low and flat ball, and saw that the ball crossed a large area of ​​the court at a very fast speed, almost touching the ground, with a slight arc, and directly Fly to find Ribery who is pulling to the left.

Fulham's Northern Ireland right-back Baird reacted, but it was impossible to get close to Ribery, so he quickly made a scissors slide shovel, hoping to use his legs Tinho's through ball was intercepted, but his foot did touch the ball, but he only wiped it lightly, and he didn't even change the direction of the ball.

It was a real risk for Coutinho, but it worked out, so it's beautiful.

Franck Ribery rushed to the front, wading the ball quickly, and inserted it obliquely into the penalty area. At this time, the two central defenders of Fulham had quickly returned to the penalty area and settled down. Ribery watched himself kick The angle of hitting the goal has been blocked, so he chose to stop the ball, and knocked the ball horizontally to the middle from the side of the opponent's central defender.

Raul's speed is slower than Ribery's, but this slowness is reflected on the court, at best it is only a matter of a second or two, so when Ribery's pass came to the middle of the penalty area, Raul was already in place But in front of him is the Fulham goalkeeper Schwarzer who has opened his arms and is ready. There are defenders around him, so he seems to have only one choice, which is to force a kick, and this shot Will definitely be given to the Fulham defender and goalkeeper.

Fulham's defensive players seem to see this prospect, so they are all waiting for Raul to kick.

But just when they thought that Raul would force his kick by himself, they saw that Raul suddenly passed the ball, and the heel of his left foot knocked the ball behind them, while they rushed forward without stopping. He directly blocked the sight and direction of movement of the goalkeeper Schwarzer and the opposing two defenders with his own body.

In this case, Schwarzer couldn't see the situation behind Raul at all, and the two defenders of Fulham couldn't rush over in time and effectively. Even now, they haven't had time to figure it out. How did Paul find out that Messi was behind him, and how did he ensure that Messi would appear?

Perhaps, this is a secret that belongs to Raul, but Messi appears in the worst place at the best time.

Raúl's heel came in front of Messi. The Argentine stopped to his left, took a step forward, and shot a clever shot with his left foot directly to the left of the goal. The ball hardly deviated from Messi. The track scheduled by West hit the goal against the goal post, 1:0!

Messi raised his left hand excitedly and rushed towards Raul at the first time, while Ribery, Coutinho, Fabregas and others also rushed up at the first time, and they were directly at Fulham Celebrate in the restricted area.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

Andy Gray exclaimed excitedly, because this goal came too fast and too suddenly.

"The game has only started less than 40 seconds, my God, less than 1 minute, Tottenham Hotspur turned away and scored Fulham's goal first. This is undoubtedly a blow to the home team Fulham. Oh, I'm so surprised, this game will be very, very difficult for them to play, after all, conceding the ball in less than 1 minute of the opening, it's too bad for morale!"

The live TV broadcast and the big screen in the stadium are repeatedly showing the goal just now. Judging from the slow-motion playback, Messi and Raul obviously had an interaction before. When Coutinho passed the ball, Raul moved forward. So he rushed to the front, and Messi deliberately slowed down, because he expected that Ribery would pass a cross if he didn't kick himself, so he had to form an offensive depth with the two teammates in front of him, If you also rush forward, you will squeeze your own people instead.

Facts have proved that Messi's decision is correct. Fulham's defensive players obviously expected Ribery's cross, but what they didn't expect was that Raul would choose to knock back with his heel. Nice assist!

When many people mention heels, they must think of Raul’s best friend Guti, but what they never thought of is that Raul also had many heel assists and even goals in his career, and this is just one of them. once.

And as Andy Gray said, conceding the ball just after the start of the game undoubtedly plunged into a very embarrassing passive situation for the home team Fulham, especially for Mark Hughes, who has returned to work this season Speaking, he has always wanted to prove himself again in Fulham, and at the same time tell everyone that Manchester City's failure was not because of his ability.

This season's Fulham start gave the impression that there were too many draws. They had a total of six draws and one victory in the previous seven rounds, so Mark Hughes can proudly say that his Fulham Keep the league unbeaten, this is the only unbeaten team in the Premier League this season except Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, and this also gives Mark Hughes the opportunity to take advantage of the home court to challenge Totten Hotspur's confidence.

Unexpectedly, Tottenham Hotspur gave Mark Hughes a sap as soon as they came up, which made the English people very angry and dissatisfied. This is the Craven Farm Stadium, not Tottenham Hotspur White Hart Lane!

So, after seeing the goal lost, Mark Hughes walked to the sidelines and yelled at the players on the pitch, "Fuck me with those North London bastards, don't let them walk out of this stadium alive!"

"Give me an attack, keep attacking!"

Mark Hughes, who is wearing a suit and leather shoes, has obviously lost his original demeanor. He cannot accept such a loss willingly, so he must regain his face and continue to win the confidence of the Fulham fans. Need to score.

After Tottenham Hotspur scored the first goal, they played without rush, especially after seeing Fulham take the initiative to attack. Fulham pulled out.

"Mark Hughes should keep calm, especially the players on the court, don't be too aggressive, they are facing Tottenham Hotspur in this game, the strongest attacking team in Europe!" Ann Di Gray said a little worried for Fulham.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Tottenham Hotspur counterattack with a long pass from the backcourt. Thiago Silva made a long pass with a big foot. Messi quickly threw away the left defender who defended him. The defender rushed to the right side of Fulham's penalty area. After catching up with the slowed down ball, he passed the ball directly with his right foot.

Franck Ribery, who was on the left side of the opponent's goal, quickly caught up with Messi. He swung his left foot to meet the incoming ball. His lob shot was also very smart, slightly past the goalkeeper Hit the right inner side net of the goal, 2:0!

"Let me tell you, you are too anxious and too aggressive. When you meet a team like Tottenham Hotspur, you will lose if you are anxious!"

"2:0, Fulham's start was simply terrible, we saw Mark Hughes' team couldn't stop Tottenham Hotspur's attack after attack after attack, three shots and two goals, that's it. How can Fulham stop this kind of game with such scoring efficiency? Especially Mark Hughes also adopts the offensive tactics of pressing forward, isn’t this courting death?”

Andy Gray hates iron and steel. After all, it was so fast, conceding two goals in less than 7 minutes. This has almost sentenced Fulham to death in advance, because it is difficult for Fulham to win against Tottenham Hotspur. It is almost a nightmare to get these two goals back and not be scored by Tottenham Hotspur!
"Perhaps now, for Mark Hughes, the safest tactic is to stabilize the situation first!" Andy Gray suggested.

But obviously, Mark Hughes has no such intention, or the Fulham players on the pitch do not have such an idea.

In fact, Tottenham Hotspur now has enough experience in the game. They are smart and know how to use their advantages, and they are also very good at using the opponent's psychology to defeat their opponents.

Therefore, after the team scored two goals in a row, they continued to maintain the offensive pressure on Fulham, but they were not as sharp as before, and the pressure was not so high. Instead, they patiently used their technical advantages to control the game. .

It's like two people are fighting a duel, one is impatient and the other is calm. The former is trying to kill each other in the shortest possible time, but the latter is sure to win, playing guerrilla warfare with you patiently, grinding and exhausting with you, slowly Slowly wear down your patience and drain your energy.

At No. 15 minutes, Fulham, who finally couldn't bear it, once again exposed a problem that shouldn't have occurred at all.

Messi dribbled the ball on the right side and wanted to make a personal breakthrough, but the Mexican left back Salcido got stuck very well. After breaking the ball at Messi's feet, he kicked directly forward, anxious to clear the ball Dangerous 30-meter area, but at this time Kyle Walker followed up, got the ball and rushed forward. After attracting Salcido's attention, he passed the ball directly and sent the ball to Salcido, who had already run to Salcido. Behind Sido, at the feet of Messi who entered the penalty area.

Faced with such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the Argentine directly used his right foot to hit a strong volley about 17 meters away from the goal, and his angle and strength of this shot were well controlled. The right post entered the net, and the goalkeeper Schwarzer made a good position, squatting down to hug the incoming ball.

But when Schwarzer made a move, the ball bounced a little, causing the ball to pass through the only slight gap between his side and the goal post, and crashed into the goal line. 3 :0!

"Tottenham Hotspur is playing how it is now, and it's just playing the state!" Andy Gray is a little helpless. He has scored three goals. Judging from this trend, maybe Tottenham Hotspur can play a game. Great victory.

"I believe that if you are a Tottenham Hotspur fan, you will find a very interesting thing, that is, since last season, Tottenham Hotspur's players have obviously improved a lot in their footwork. Great progress, let's pay attention, the three goals in this game, the footwork is very good!"

"Last season Tottenham's centre-forward was Rodamel Falcao, the most impressive thing about the Colombian centre-forward was his unrivaled finishing skills, which obviously irritated Tottenham. This group of superstars in the Tottenham team, so each of them also practiced their footwork. We saw Ribery's lob shot just now, and now Messi's footwork is very good in this shot. Very reasonable!"

Andy Gray's commentary has a certain professionalism, which is also his most popular style, and he is now full of expectations for the outbreak of Tottenham Hotspur's game. Perhaps, if he can appreciate a A wonderful feast of goals, he will also feel good, especially when the scoring side is Tottenham Hotspur, which has always been gorgeous.

The development of the game was also as Andy Gray expected. After Tottenham Hotspur's state went smoothly, the goals were really scored. Although Fulham tried hard to stop it, they still failed. It can prevent Tottenham Hotspur from scoring again, even if they shrink into their 30-meter area.

When the game progressed to No. 306 minutes, Tottenham Hotspur's frontcourt attack was contained. Messi rushed into the penalty area and shot was blocked by the opponent's defender. After Raul received the ball from the front of the penalty area, there was no chance. After protecting the ball and knocking back, Fabregas retreated to catch the ball and crossed it to Kyle Walker on the right.

After the England right back got the ball, he stepped forward with his big feet. After catching up, he saw Messi blocking the opponent's left back Baird with his body in the penalty area, so he directly passed the ball vigorously and sent the ball to the goal at the fastest speed. The ball is passed to Messi.

The Argentine has been asked by Ye Qiu to strengthen his upper body strength in the past few years, which can really help him complete the physical confrontation. After he blocked the left back Salcido with his body, the latter interfered and ran It didn't affect him, but it was also difficult for Messi to turn around, but when Kyle Walker's pass came to Messi's feet, the Argentine received the ball very firmly, barely letting the ball bounce off his feet .

When Messi catches a pass in the box, it's a nightmare for any defensive player in any team, so the surrounding Fulham defenders rushed towards him with little hesitation. Messi, but the Argentine failed to turn around, but chose to knock the ball back to Raul who inserted into the penalty area from outside the penalty area.

The Spanish veteran faced Messi's pass, and the Argentine's calmness was reflected in the direction of his pass, which happened to pass to Raul's left side. This angle made it easy for Raul, whose main foot is left, to hit the goal directly. , so the Spanish veteran didn't waste the opportunity, swung his left foot and it was a clever shot.

Raul's shooting technique is also very good, the angle is so good that Schwarzer is desperate, he almost smashed into the goal by rubbing the post, 4:0!

As Andy Gray said, when Tottenham Hotspur played smoothly and played crazy, they scored goals almost as they played.

Watching Tottenham Hotspur make another victory, Fulham goalkeeper Schwarzer has conceded four goals in a row in just over half an hour, which made him feel ashamed. The man arched his back, with the turf on his head, and kept hammering the ground. He really had the feeling of digging a hole and going straight down to bury himself.

I believe that at this moment, many players in the Fulham team are still puzzled, what happened to this game?
How could I have a well-organized defense on weekdays, but this game was broken so easily under the attack of Tottenham Hotspur?
Perhaps, this is a question that even Mark Hughes failed to find the answer to!
