Chapter 216 Exploding Demons
"goooooooa1! Two-to-one! The goal was Didier Drogba! A very beautiful turn and volley!" For this goal full of strength and beauty, Andy Grey naturally praised it. "Faced with Sendros' defense, Drogba forced the Swiss to complete the attack, helping Tottenham successfully reverse the score! If it weren't for the big difference in skin color, I would even think that Vieri came to the White Hart Lane Stadium to play for Tottenham!"
Andy Grey's praise for Drogba is extremely high. Although Vieri, who is over 2018, is no longer the Apennine tank that could destroy everything, in the minds of most fans, Vieri is still the world's number one power center and is still the invincible shooter!
And now, Andy Gray actually said that Drogba looked like Vieri. With such a high evaluation, he suddenly shocked his glasses all over the floor!
Although Tottenham fans will definitely agree with this, in the eyes of most people, comparing Drogba and Vieri is undoubtedly a big deal!
Who is Vieri? The representative figure of the power center, the winner of the Golden Boot of La Liga and Serie A, the old generation of King Meacha, the killer who scored nine goals in the World Cup! And what about Drogba? It's just a rough big man from Côte d'Ivoire!
Of course, in Andy Grey's opinion, his evaluation of Drogba is actually not an exaggeration - like Vieri, Drogba is also outstanding among players of the same type in terms of strength and mobility. Moreover, Drogba is indeed a bit rough in terms of shooting accuracy and personal skills, but the Ivorians' contribution to the team on the defensive end is beyond the reach of other centers.
Therefore, Andy Gray can be said to be quite optimistic about Drogba's prospects and believes that he has the hope of becoming a new generation of power centers after Vieri grows up!
"Now, Arsenal's situation has become quite dangerous." While Andy Gray strongly praised Drogba, Martin Taylor focused more on the current game situation. "Drogba's goal gave Tottenham a lead in the score. If Coach Wenger still wants to win this North London derby, then Arsenal must take the initiative in the next time. Otherwise, Tottenham can use their strong defense to hold the lead of this goal until the end of the game!"
Obviously, after witnessing the performance of both players in this game, Martin Taylor is not optimistic that Arsenal will win this derby. Compared with Tottenham, which is very well-organized on both offense and defense, it is always led by Tottenham. Arsenal, who can only rely on his cleverness to score, has very little hope of winning today!
As Martin Taylor expected, after the game restarted, the Arsenal players who were unwilling to suffer a defeat were pressed down on the goal guarded by Cech. Their purpose was very clear, that is, they planned to equalize the score as soon as possible, and they must not let the team be further widened by Tottenham in the standings!
However, in this way, Arsenal's originally not very reliable defense has become more loopholes. You should know that before, Arsenal players shrank their formation and squeezed Tottenham's offensive space, and their defense line could be cut into several holes by Tottenham. Now, when the Gunners take the initiative to attack under pressure, it is naturally conceivable that Arsenal's defense line will be destroyed by Tottenham to look like something!
As expected, just five minutes later, Tottenham once again knocked on the goal guarded by Lehman and changed the score on the field to 3-1! And this time, the player who scored the third goal for Tottenham was still Didier Drogba!
It was also a cross from the wing, but this time, the person who assisted Drogba was replaced by Robben. The Dutch Pans cross accurately found Drogba's head. Sendros, who was trying to compete with the Ivorian Warcraft for the ball, was directly squeezed and staggered by the former. Before the Swiss stabilized, the cheers from the stands clearly told Sendros that Tottenham had broken through Arsenal's gate for the third time!
"Hat trick! 3-1! Arsenal is already in a desperate situation!" Seeing Drogba score for the third time in this game, Andy Gray yelled excitedly, the volume was so loud that it could lift the roof of the entire live room. "This is Drogba's first hat trick this season! Hat trick in the North London derby! Drogba's performance today can be regarded as the level of a top superstar!"
For Tottenham fans, it is certainly a welcome thing for the team to lead the league standings, but in terms of personal relationships, what they most hope to see is that Tottenham can beat Arsenal in a head-on confrontation, and the more miserable the enemy in the city, the better!
This is like the relationship between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Fans of both sides can accept the reality that the team is empty at the end of the season, but they will never tolerate the team they support being double-killed or massacred by opponents in the national derby. Therefore, as Andy Gray said, at this moment, Drogba, who scored a hat-trick in this North London derby, undoubtedly became the hero in the minds of Tottenham fans!
However, Drogba's wonderful performance did not end because of the birth of this hat trick. Especially after George replaced Bastulk with Klose and changed the formation to 4-4-2 and changed to double centers, the alarm in front of Arsenal never stopped!
In the 81st minute of the game, Alonso made a long pass to instigate a counterattack. Ribery, who was inserted along the left side, received the ball and advanced quickly. After getting rid of the defense of Lungberg and Lauren with his extraordinary qualities, he directly made a high ball pass near the baseline!
After looking at the ball flying from the air, and then looking at the two high centers, Klose and Drogba who were eyeing each other in front of him, Sendros and Krolo Toure's hearts were broken at this time - You Tottenham are too bullying. You are too bullying. You are chasing Campbell's weakness of lack of air defense. You have the ability to fight with us!
Although Sendros tried hard to jump and wanted to clear Ribery's cross from his own penalty area in advance, Drogba once again defeated the Swiss young player in the air confrontation and topped the ball towards Klose's position. Klose on the other side once again showed his amazing bounce ability in front of the audience, directly pressing Klose Toure under his body, like a bomber entering the dive bombing posture, smashing Drogba's pass into the goal guarded by Lehman!
Four to one! With this wonderful header relay by Drogba and Klose, Tottenham completely locked in the North London derby victory!
