1026 This is not Tottenham
When Gerald sent the penalty to the Tottenham goal guarded by Gomez, a pessimistic atmosphere began to fill the White Hart Lane.
Without Tottenham fans, you can still face this game calmly.
One ball behind?
Some chase!
Two goals behind in 33 minutes?
There are still some pursuits!
But the Almighty Lord, let me tell all those who regard Tottenham as their beloved, how to pursue it?
There wasn't even a decent shot!
If you don't shoot, where will you score?
Old Redknapp completely understood that this game could not be played as expected.
He did not expect that the combat power that Liverpool burst out was so amazing!
Before he can perform a substitution at the right time, Tottenham must admit defeat!
So Tottenham began to retreat, slowing down the pace of the game, as if he had accepted his fate, delaying the smooth progress of the game, allowing time to pass silently, and then ending the game.
The Tottenham Hotspur, which seemed to lack motivation and fighting spirit on the field, made Tottenham fans even more depressed. The cheering atmosphere in the White Hart Lane stands turned into Liverpool overshadowed the home team.
In the 38th minute of the game, Qin Xiong set up a fort for Gerald on the left side in front of the penalty area. Gerald completed a very high-quality shot under the cover of Torres' running position and restraining the defensive forces!
Gomez made a world-class save, and he saved sideways to block the ball from the bottom line.
Tottenham fans shook their heads slightly.
"Oh, damn, he finally didn't let his opponent score again, but why after 0:2? What was he doing at 0:0?"
The corner kick taken by Gerrard formed chaos in the penalty area. The football was blocked by Ector and Qin Xiong was ambushed there. Unexpectedly, he could get a god-given opportunity. He rushed forward and shot against the football. Modric desperately blocked it with his body. Qin Xiong flexibly dunked the ball over Modric, and then rubbed his left foot to the far post.
In order to deliberately bypass the dense human city walls in the penalty area, Qin Xiong's shot made the football drew an arc and bypassed everyone's heads.
But the football finally flew out of the bottom line against the outside of the goal post.
"What a pity! Qin Xiong's shot missed the goal, just a little bit short of it! If this goal can be scored, Liverpool will completely destroy Tottenham's confidence!"
"It's a pity that he didn't make it. I don't understand what Redknapp is doing. Tottenham is not such a team. They can play a shocking goal battle with Arsenal and will not surrender on their knees. The opponent is Liverpool, and they have no reason to retreat with the whole army when there is still time."
"Maybe Redknapp has his own calculations. We can only wait and see."
Tottenham's retreat made Torres lack room to play, and Liverpool's midfielder was liberated, and Alonso could run up to display his long-range shooting ability, but unfortunately he lacked the luck to score goals.
Lennon and Defoe can get the few counterattack opportunities in the frontcourt, but they will be submerged in Liverpool's crazy backcourt defense strangle. Isolation is the biggest problem. Dribbing the ball to a dead end without a target or simply crossing irresponsibly makes Tottenham's counterattack unthreatening.
Before the end of the first half, Qin Xiong made a 45-degree cross from the left, and the football was once again hung into the back point of the penalty area. Kuyt fell into the penalty area while heading the ball forward while preparing to head the ball back.
He knelt on the ground and complained to referee Dodd that he had his jersey pulled by Palacios and caused his physical imbalance. However, referee Dodd chose to turn a blind eye, as if he had not heard of his accusation.
In White Hart Lane, Tottenham Hotspurs were awarded two fouls in the penalty area? And it was within 45 minutes, which also required the referee to have great courage and the ability to control the emotions of both players on the game.
It is obvious that Dodd, the youngest law enforcement officer in the Premier League, is still a little tender. He doesn't want to be clamored by Tottenham fans in White Hart Lane to tear him. Besides, Liverpool has already led by two goals. Is Kuyt's fall in the dense crowd just now being fouled? Just turn a blind eye to the eye, just pretending that the open eye didn't see it.
"The first half is over. In the first round of the Premier League in the new season, Tottenham Hotspur team fell 0:2 to the Reds Liverpool in White Hart Lane. Torres and Gerrard scored one goal respectively. We will bring you a detailed review of the first half. I have to say that I will look forward to the decent performance in the second half, otherwise, they will become Liverpool's first spoil after a series of revolutions such as club change of owners and change coaches."
Tottenham fans temporarily left the stands amid worries and disappointments, and Redknapp, the old man issued a military order before entering the player's passage.
Crouch goes to warm up!
Koeman walked back to the locker room with a serious expression and raised his head and chest.
As the Reds players walked into the visiting team's locker room one by one, assistant coach Sammy Lee Hongguang slapped each player's shoulders with obvious excitement, silently praising their first half performance.
Sitting in the locker room, Koeman first said to Torres: "Fernando, the goal in the first half was wonderful, but you have to strengthen your running and find the opportunity to use it decisively. I believe your teammates will create countless opportunities for you, and I believe you feel this."
Torres nodded firmly with a confident and a little shy smile.
"Steven, he performed well, but the lateral transfer speed in front of the penalty area is faster. The faster we move horizontally on the offensive end, the harder it will be to Tottenham. We almost smashed the Tottenham's defense into pieces. We can do this, I believe you!"
Gerald said seriously: "No problem!"
Koeman turned his sight to Kuyt and said seriously: "Dirk, you missed an opportunity. I won't talk about this anymore because your active defense provides a strong dominance for our midfield. Keep cheering in the second half. If you are not sure about shooting, look at your teammates' positions before that and creating opportunities for your teammates is also a great quality and ability."
Kuyt took a sip of water to wipe his sweat, and nodded without hesitation.
"Havi, you make our midfield run like a perfect machine, flawless, and hold it in the second half."
Alonso silently accepted it as if he was calm in honor and disgrace.
When Koman looked at Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong was also looking at Koman.
Perhaps Qin Xiong was curious about what Koeman would say to him, and his teammates had the same idea.
But Koman looked at Qin Xiong without saying anything, forcing Qin Xiong to take the initiative to make an inquiry expression. Koman's lips moved slightly, as if he said helplessly: "Qin Xiong, be more careful in the second half. Tottenham players want to drag you into the dark alley and punch you until you are dying."
