Chapter 238 Unexpected joy
"goooooooooa1! The goal is scored! Frank Lampard is the goal!" In the live broadcast room, Andy Grey yelled in disbelief. Obviously, the ace commentator of Sky TV was quite incredible about Chelsea's equalization at the last moment - when did Tottenham fail to win the final victory while leading two goals? I'm afraid that it was the era when Levi and Joe Lewis took charge of White Hart Lane?
Just as Andy Gray scoured her stomach and praised the persevering Chelsea with all the words he could think of, the Chelsea players celebrated excitedly on the court - like Andy Gray, they didn't expect to really do this!
Seeing Lampard scored the equalizer goal at the last moment, Mourinho couldn't hide his excitement and hugged the coaching staff members one by one on the sidelines! Just looking at the expression on the crazy man's face, those who didn't know would probably mistakenly think that Chelsea had won a victory at the White Hart Lane Stadium!
"Lampard's long shot is indeed very beautiful, but in fact, Ibrahimovic is the biggest contributor to Chelsea's equalizer." At the same time, Martin Taylor began to analyze Chelsea's goal in the live broadcast room. "The Swede first used a wonderful turn to score a point for Chelsea in the 75th minute, and then calmly faced the attacks of Vidic and Mascherano in the injury time period, and finally cleverly assisted Lampard in the back row to score... So, Chelsea was able to escape from the White Hart Lane Stadium today, and the first result was Ibrahimovic!"
"But then again, Tottenham had the chance to kill the suspense of the game. Unfortunately, Drogba failed to seize that excellent opportunity, which gave Chelsea a chance to breathe." Andy Gray said in a very regretful tone. As a Tottenham fan, he naturally felt quite regretful about this result.
Andy Gray's words were not aimless. Indeed, if Drogba had not missed the single shot before, Spurs could have expanded the score to 3-1. In this way, even if Lampard scored another goal in injury time, it would not have any impact on the overall situation of the game!
It was precisely because of this that when Chelsea players celebrated the goal, Drogba's mood seemed quite low: "Captain, it's all my fault. If I could score that single goal before..."
"Stop talking, Didier (Drogba). No one here will be so stingy that he blames you for this draw. As you say, we who have not defended Ibrahimovic are also one of the culprits of the team being tied by Chelsea in this game." Ridley King waved his hand and stopped Drogba's subsequent apology. "No one can never fail. Even great things like Robert Baggio and Platini will also miss the key penalty? The important thing is that we learn from it and try to eliminate the possibility of making the same mistake again."
"Okay, captain, I will definitely remember the lesson this time!" Hearing the words of Ridley King, Drogba's originally depressed mood finally got better. The Ivorian Warcraft secretly made up his mind that he would practice shooting more every time the team was training in the future. He must not let alone fail to get into it again!
It is no better to know the mistakes and correct them. Although Drogba's success in his previous life was due to his physical fitness, the most important reason for his success was that the Ivorians had was tenacious psychology and the good habit of correcting them when they knew the mistakes.
The most typical negative example is Inter Milan's Adriano. The Brazilian center who was named the new king of Meacha by Inter Milan fans after Vieri grew old, also has extremely outstanding physical fitness. However, the Inter Milan king became frustrated after becoming famous, immersed in the bright lights and wine of the fashion capital, and his competitive state has been declining again and again. In the end, he had to bid farewell to European football early and stay away from the perspective of the mainstream football circle.
Although the celebration of Chelsea players was forcibly terminated with Weber's intervention, after such a tossing, the three-minute injury time had actually passed. Therefore, after the game restarted, the Tottenham players did not even organize a wave of offensives, and Weber blew the whistle to announce the end of the game!
In this way, after 90 minutes of fierce competition, Tottenham Hotspur, who once led two goals in the game, lost a good game and was equalized by Lampard at the last moment. He finally shook hands with Chelsea and missed an excellent opportunity to expand his lead in the standings!
"Congratulations to Chelsea for being able to tie the score at the last moment. I'm very happy." At the post-match press conference, George talked about the long guns and short cannons raised by reporters on the scene. "Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a very outstanding young player. In time, he will definitely become another top center. Chelsea was able to take a draw from White Hart Lane today. I should be grateful for Ibrahimovic's outstanding performance in this game."
When reporters heard George's comments on Ibrahimovic were so high, they all excitedly wrote on the court. After all, there were not many young players who could be praised by George. Even Dean Ashton, who was loaned out and regarded by the English media as the next Alan Hiller, had not received such praise.
In addition, some keen-minded reporters also heard another meaning in George's words. That is, if Ibrahimovic had not saviored the owner, Chelsea would have been dismantled by Tottenham in this game, so how could he get out of it?
"Coach Nelson's words are indeed very reasonable. It is indeed Chelsea's luck to have an excellent center forward like Zlatan (Ibrahimovic)." Mourinho also heard the implication of George's words, so he naturally had to refute it at this time. "However, I also envied Coach Nelson. Robben's one pass and one shot in the first half made us fall behind by zero to two early. If it weren't for the Dutch's physical strength and being replaced by Ribery later, we might not have been able to equalize the score."
Seeing Mourinho Narobon talk about it, George had to choose to end the topic even if he was not convinced. Although the specific situations of Robben and Ibrahimovic were not the same, in terms of the results, there was indeed no difference between the two people who scored one goal and assisted once in this game.
However, a message from another field later made Tottenham, who was regretting the draw, swept away the haze on his body. That is, although the battle between Tottenham and Chelsea ended in a draw, Arsenal, ranked third, failed to take the opportunity to narrow the gap. The Gunners, who were away from Reebok Stadium, suffered a lot in front of Bolton led by Alledes, and before the end of the first half, they scored the only goal in the game by Jenner Copolos, and finally lost to Reebok Stadium by zero-to-one!
The result of Arsenal's unexpected and upset away loss caused Tottenham to fail to achieve the goal of leading Chelsea in four points after this draw, but it further expanded its points advantage with the third place!
