Chapter 114 Tottenham's Left Wing
Arsenal's goal brought silence to White Hart Lane. For Tottenham fans, the last thing they wanted to see was the Arsenal people showing off their power.
And they celebrated wildly at their home stadium.
Shh!
!
! ——
Huge boos rang out as Tottenham fans responded to Arsenal's goal.
At the same time, Tottenham fans also feel a sense of urgency.
Conceding the first goal at home is not good news.
After they drew with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in the first half of the season, they thought about completely suppressing Arsenal in this season's North London derby.
Spurs now do have this ability.
But who would have thought that after entering the second half of the season, Arsenal's competitive state would become better and better.
Although they have also been squeezed by multiple events, Arsenal's overall state is showing an upward trend.
It can be seen from this game that Arsenal's game thinking is very clear, but Tottenham has been unable to feel it since the beginning.
"Steady the rhythm! Don't give Arsenal a chance to counterattack!"
Tottenham head coach Pochettino shouted anxiously from the sidelines.
Arsenal's sharp counterattack ability has always been the key to their fear.
And Arsenal also told them with a goal that once they are given a chance to counterattack, Arsenal can turn it into a goal.
In this case, Tottenham cannot give Arsenal any chance to counterattack.
Even a more conservative style of play is needed.
And now Pochettino is very anxious, and Tottenham's midfield rhythm is a bit slow.
After playing the entire season, Eriksen's state has fallen into a relatively loose state. He cannot ask a player to remain mentally tense for a total of 38 rounds throughout the season. This is something that no one can do. things.
Even Lucai, who is known as an iron man, will have ups and downs in his state, although the ups and downs are short-lived, and based on external stimulation, Lucai can quickly adjust his state.
However, Eriksson obviously cannot make such an adjustment as Lucky. He needs his teammates to help him share the pressure.
"I will drop back more often to catch the ball, and you can give me the ball without reservation!"
Harry Kane took the initiative to retreat to find Eriksen and said.
Eriksen also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Harry Kane's words.
He also knows very well that the current situation is not the time to be stubborn, and he really needs the help of his teammates.
Soon, Spurs were back in action.
When Tottenham fell behind, they naturally wanted to counterattack and score.
After the kick-off, Tottenham also launched a fierce attack, hoping to open a gap.
Harry Kane kept dropping back to play the ball, and his fulcrum role helped Tottenham open up many offensive opportunities.
But the effect is not particularly good.
Eriksson is still in a situation where he is being watched closely.
The only thing Tottenham can rely on is Son Heung-min on the left.
But can Korean stars take on big responsibilities?
Sun Xingmin wiped the sweat on his face. From Germany to England, from substitute to main player, Sun Xingmin was recognized by head coach Pochettino and became one of Tottenham's starting lineup.
He is also Tottenham's offensive arrow player.
Since joining Tottenham, Son Xingmin's condition has been getting better and better.
Although he cannot keep up with Lucky's fame and ability, he has firmly established himself in the Premier League.
In Sun Xingmin's mind, the choice made in this situation is the difference between players and stars.
Want to smooth out the transition? Or break through yourself?
Son Xingmin obviously does not come to Tottenham to hang out and wait for retirement. He still has a long career.
Thinking of this, Sun Xingmin immediately raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Son Xingmin knows very well that his advantage lies in speed, and the only thing he can rely on is speed.
Seeing Son Xingmin asking for the ball, Kanter also rushed over immediately.
Slow down slightly and defend at a position close to two meters.
But this time, Sun Xingmin had no intention of stopping and went straight in, using his powerful explosive power and speed to eat Kanter alive.
Kanter didn't expect that Sun Xingmin would be so determined, and he couldn't keep up for a while.
"Stop him!
Kante shouted to teammate Bellerín.
Bellerin stepped forward quickly.
At this time, Son Xingmin tapped his left foot horizontally and knocked the ball to Harry Kane in the middle. The latter turned around and volleyed, but suddenly took a step and missed the ball.
Eriksen on the other side quickly rushed towards the ball.
But there is Lucky beside him.
Lucky didn't give the opponent a chance to touch the ball, and easily knocked the ball to Hummels, who passed it to Wilshere who dropped back to receive the ball.
"Tottenham played a wonderful offensive combination from the left. Sonny's speed and explosive power gave Tottenham an opportunity to attack from the left!"
"However, Eriksson failed to catch up with the ball during the transfer. Kai's positioning is very delicate. He will not give such a gap!"
After Lucky intercepted, he immediately ran forward. Although he could not participate in the counterattack, he could still protect and support.
Sure enough, the ball was cleared by the opponent's defender. Lucky made a judgment and easily knocked the ball to Aubameyang.
The ball and the tempo fell into Arsenal's hands again.
Seeing Lucky's performance, Paul Mossen shook his head and said, "This is the importance of the midfield. Lucky's presence can help Arsenal keep getting the ball in the midfield, and the forwards can attack without worries. Even when defending, Arsenal's midfield line has enough strength!"
"On the other hand, Tottenham's control in the midfield has gradually slipped. I admit that Ali is a good player, but facing the pressure of Lucky, it is difficult for him to perform. At least from the current position, he has not been able to pass a good ball!"
Ali's performance in this game was somewhat unsatisfactory.
Many people expect Ali and Sun Xingmin to touch the spark and come up with wonderful cooperation.
But in fact, it is more of Sun Xingmin fighting alone on the left wing.
On the other hand, Ali was suppressed by Lucky.
His passes are mostly safe balls, with no intention of actively attacking and no concept of controlling the ball.
This also puts more pressure on Eriksen.
A central midfielder cannot perform his duties and even needs Eriksen to help him relieve the pressure.
One person does two jobs, how can Eriksen not be angry?
Fortunately, the attack on the left wing began to show some results.
Son Heung-min used his dribbling again and again to constantly threaten the left wing.
And Tottenham also benefited from Son Heung-min's breakthroughs and got several opportunities to threaten the goal.
"Tottenham began to become threatening on the left wing. We always thought that the Korean star played more of an auxiliary role in the Tottenham team, but now Sun has proved with practical actions that he can also help his teammates create breakthroughs in difficult situations!"
Son Heung-min's breakthroughs again and again did cause Arsenal a lot of trouble.
Lucky also saw this situation, but he had no choice.
One must be placed on the left and right wings. Compared with Eriksen, Son Heung-min's threat is lower.
At this time, Son Heung-min dribbled again, and the Arsenal players continued to retreat.
Son Heung-min faced Bellerin's defense again. He pretended to cross the ball, suddenly dribbled the ball, wiped Bellerin and cut directly inside.
Running along the bottom line, Son Heung-min finally poked the ball in front of Arsenal's small penalty area with his toes.
And there, Harry Kane gently cushioned the ball, and the ball went into the gap between goalkeeper Martinez and the goal post.
"Harry Kane!
Goal!
!——"
"Tottenham equalized the score!
This goal was very abrupt, even the Arsenal players could not have expected it.
But Sun Xingmin's cross from the bottom was really wonderful and threatening.
The most important thing is that everyone thought he would pass the ball to Harry Kane and let the other party pass the ball.
But Sun Xingmin chose to believe in himself.
It can be said that this goal was fought by Sun Xingmin.
Wow!
!
!
!——
The Tottenham fans at the scene cheered.
They got the goal to equalize the game, which is good news.
The connection between Sun Xingmin and Harry Kane also made them see the Sun Kai combination that has always been highly supervised.
In the 34th minute of the first half, Tottenham equalized the score.
The suspense of the game remains!
