Chapter 412 Second Offensive Chance
Portsmouth had no choice but to defend.Although this is Fratton Park and their home court, they don't think they have the same offensive power as Manchester United or Barcelona, ​​and they are qualified to play against their opponents.Portsmouth's defense line this season is beyond recognition. It is the first time that the four defenders have been kneaded together. The iron barrel array may not be able to block the hot Spurs players.

All Portsmouth players can do is to foul, keep fouling, keep breaking, and open their feet. Only one fast striker David Newtkin is left in front, and only the best technology is left in the midfield. Brown with the widest vision.These two men are the only hope for Portsmouth's defensive counterattack. Their technology and vision have always been the key to Portsmouth's victory. The player with the most balls is not only competent as a striker, but also retreats to connect the midfield.

But today, Redknapp, who is very familiar with Portsmouth's offensive routines, sent a double midfielder combination of Joel Luka and Huddle Stone to firmly restrain these two men. The counterattack immediately fell silent.

Under Portsmouth's constant fouls and big-foot clearances, Arsenal's free kicks and corner kicks continued to appear. For a while, Portsmouth's goal was in danger.Seeing that there is no danger in their backcourt, central defenders Dawson and Gallas are like high centers, constantly rushing to Portsmouth's penalty area to compete for headers.

However, Portsmouth's players had been prepared for a long time. Several of their central defenders were tall and good at defending against high-altitude balls, and they did not give Gallas and Dawson a good chance.Portsmouth's only big name, the former England goalkeeper David James is also in a brave state. It is his high catch and low block that resolved most of Tottenham's shots when the defender was weak in defense. Keep the goal clean.

However, the strength gap between the two sides was too obvious. Under the continuous onslaught of Tottenham's turbulent waves, Portsmouth resisted until the 25th minute of the first half, and finally a loophole appeared in the patchwork defense.

After Tottenham got another corner kick, Mo Fei, who had been hanging the corner kick into the penalty area, suddenly made a change when taking the corner kick this time, passing the ball to the front of the penalty area.Modric did not enter the penalty area to grab a header this time. His body is not very strong and he is not outstanding in size. After so many headers, he ended up being overwhelmed by the opponent's central defender, so he ran outside the penalty area. Hope to get a second chance to attack.

Could it be that he frowned when he saw the crowded Portsmouth restricted area? Such aimless passing to the restricted area created chaos, but the actual threat was very small.Could it be that he simply swept the football to Modric on the edge of the penalty area.

Seeing that Mo Fei actually passed the football to him, Modric was so excited that his eyes almost got wet.Several midfielders in the team this season have all turned into goal ambassadors. Even Lennon, who is a substitute, has scored more goals than him. It would be a lie to say that he is not jealous.Although he is an organizational midfielder, organization and passing are his main duties, but which player does not want to score goals!
Without further ado, Modric swung his right foot and volleyed the football flying diagonally!
I have to lament the good luck of the Croatians today. Modric's volley was originally impossible to score, because there are at least ten people fighting inside the penalty area at this time, and there is no way to pass, but it is chaotic. In the penalty area, Tottenham striker van der Vaart was shoved by someone, staggered and almost fell to the ground.And the football shot by Modric just flew over Van der Vaart's short head.

The football is like a monster that suddenly appeared. James, whose vision was blocked, didn't even see the football flying before it hit the net. When he reacted, a white dot from small to large rushed past him. Finally rushed into the goal!

Modric himself didn't expect that this volley would be "a blind cat met a dead mouse". After being stunned for a while, he immediately lifted his jersey, covered his head, and ran wildly to celebrate, yelling: " GOAL! GOAL! Goal! Goal!"

"GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! 1:0! Tottenham scored. In the 25th minute, Tottenham midfielder Modric scored a goal with a long shot! It was a beautiful ball of luck! Of course, this The goal is also the inevitable result of Tottenham's crazy attack. Portsmouth has no power to fight back against Tottenham's attack! Portsmouth must be careful, what is waiting for them is likely to be a game like A massacre like Chelsea!" The football commentator at the scene fanned the enthusiasm of the fans with a passionate voice.

He was greeted with thunderous applause and cheers like thunderbolts.Although this is Fratton Park, the more than 8000 Tottenham fans present still tried their best to create a fanatical atmosphere. Their momentum reached its peak after the team took the lead, and completely suppressed the home team fans who were twice as many as them. up.

Fratton Park became a sea of ​​Tottenham fans laughing heartily. The dancing white jerseys were like clusters of pure lilies, which were spotted at first, and then completely turned into a sea of ​​pure white, so gorgeous...

[[[[[[[Chapter [-] Defeating the Pompeii Army ([-])

The Tottenham players rushed up to Modric who was running wildly, grabbed the opponent's body, slapped Modric on the back and head vigorously, and celebrated his goal.Van der Vaart's attack was the darkest. Anyway, Modric covered his head and didn't know who did it. He muttered while laying down the "black hand": "I told you to mess up my hair and beat you to death!"

The grievance in Modric's heart, he wanted to escape from the clutches of his teammates, but his head was also covered, and he couldn't see the road ahead, and he was "beaten" by the crowd and kept moaning: "Take it easy, ouch, take it easy... "

Redknapp walked out of the coach's bench and gave his team a symbolic applause with a calm expression.It is a happy thing for the team to lead, but facing his old club, Redknapp is not yet able to celebrate wantonly.In his original plan, the team was likely to face a bitter away game, but in fact, he overestimated the opponent, and the Portsmouth in front of him was far from the tenacious team in his impression , Many new faces in the lineup even he doesn't know, it seems that the other party has indeed fallen into an irreparable situation.

The Portsmouth players stood where they were and didn't complain. The backwardness was already in their expectation, and they only had unwillingness in their eyes.They were not convinced. Tottenham, like them, could barely be regarded as a mid-range team in the Premier League at best. They were also a team led by Redknapp. Why should the opponent be so popular now? Beat like a turtle?
Even if Tottenham now have an absolute advantage on the pitch, they want to try it!
After kick-off again, Portsmouth is still defending, but the defense line has advanced a lot, which increases the possibility of offense and can also provide more support for teammates who counterattack.They know that Tottenham's offensive ability is very strong, but the defense has always been unstable, and they hope to find Tottenham's flaws.

However, the Portsmouth players were disappointed. The current Tottenham defense line is known as the most stable defense line in Europe, and it can be called solid.Dawson is tall and good at defending high-altitude balls. His turning speed is not slow, his feet are flexible, his position is full, and his defense area is huge.Although his partner Gallas is not young, he has maintained a very good state. His experience and awareness can benefit the Tottenham defense line a lot. The real Dinghaishenzhen needle behind the defense.

As for the full-back position, the left side guarded by Bell can be described as "a thousand mountains and a bird fly, and a thousand paths and people disappear", and no one dares to pass here.Bell, who is excellent in offense and defense, almost covered the entire offense and defense on the left, and he did it all by himself as a fullback and avant-garde.

The only weak point of Tottenham in this game is the position of right back, because Joel Luka switched to playing as a midfielder, and Kabul, who can play both left and right sides, was injured and missed the game. Redknapp could only use The long-abandoned veteran Aso Hector came on the field.However, Mo Fei has a huge range of activities on the right, and Portsmouth's limited ability does not pose much threat.

Facing such a strong defense line, Portsmouth will inevitably feel desperate.And less than 5 minutes from the last goal, Tottenham expanded the score here.

Portsmouth finally sent out a counterattack. Brown had just controlled the football and before he had time to observe his teammates' running positions, Could it be that he quickly returned to the defense, took the football away from behind, and then led the ball directly along the sidewalk. bottom line.

Could Fei originally wanted to go down the side, but seeing that the opponent's penalty area was full of people and there was no chance to cross and shoot, he brought the ball back and then passed the ball to Modric, who was pulled to the center to respond. .

Modric took a few steps forward, and after attracting the opponent's attention, he immediately distributed the football to Mo Fei again.This kick fully reflects Modric's excellent passing skills. He actually passed the ball from the left back Ward's inside line to Mo Fei's back.

Could it be that he did not disappoint Modric's just-right pass, he caught up at a high speed, and kicked the football directly into the penalty area.

Could it be that when he made the second pass, to the surprise of many people, Modric had already distracted the attention of many defensive players when he pulled the ball just now. At this time, the penalty area had already begun to panic.Just as the players on both sides were pushing and shoving each other, a blond and elegant head rushed into the penalty area, like gliding, and headed the football into the opponent's goal.

England's former goalkeeper James was stunned by this header that looked like a magic soldier from heaven. The ball was too fast and too close. He only made a save gesture and gave up with a wry smile—because the football had already rushed into the ball. You guys are jumping in the net nest at the moment.

It was the Dutchman van der Vaart who was pushed up the front line to score the goal. After changing his new position, Van der Vaart broke out completely and scored almost every game.

After Van der Vaart scored a goal, he didn't celebrate like Modric with his head covered. He was afraid that his teammates would also beat him as a pig's head.He quickly covered his ears and ran to the stands of the fans of the visiting team, waving his arms up and down like a concert conductor, and kept gesturing for the Tottenham fans to come and applaud him.

The Tottenham fans at the scene naturally gave warm applause to the heroes who contributed wonderful goals for them, and kept shouting: "Rafael! Rafael..."

"GOAL! In the 29th minute of the first half, Tottenham scored another goal from forward van der Vaart, extending the score advantage to 2:0! The feet of the Tottenham players are so smooth, how can they play! Ha, ever since he transformed from an avant-garde player to a striker, the state of the Dutchman has been getting better and better. In recent rounds of the league, including European games, he has performed well in almost every game! Redknapp is worthy of being a famous European coach. It's amazing to train such a young Tottenham team into top players!" The live commentator shouted loudly.
