Wang Ai spent another five days in London safely and orderly. In these five days, he received the news that the 87 National Youth Team 2:1 UAE and 1:0 Thailand. They won all three group matches. Seeing that there seemed to be no crisis.
.
Wang Ai took the time to browse the domestic reports online. Although there were still voices of concern, the overall response was positive. Wang Ai touched his chin in front of the computer and wondered, does this mean I don’t have to go back? But then I thought about it.
Are you crazy? It’s all agreed upon. Besides, if the knockout rounds bring me back, I’ll still be watching the show in London. This big pot is in good order!
As the old saying goes: Give up your illusions and prepare to fight!
On the morning of November 5th, Wang Ai took his luggage to an apartment near Stamford Bridge, and went in to look around. I bought this apartment impulsively, and I haven't lived here for more than a year in total.
Because I don’t like the depressing, dull, damp and cold conditions in West London, and prefer to go to the countryside of Cobham to breathe fresh air, this rather spacious apartment has been unused. The original idea was to live here before and after the game day, so I considered it.
Cobham is half an hour's drive from the stadium. But then I bought a car, especially when I didn't have to drive myself. Well, distance was no longer an issue.
In Wang Ai’s words: I’m not tired anyway!
After making final technical and tactical preparations that afternoon, Wang Ai boarded the bus with the team and headed to the White Hart Lane Stadium in North London to start a London derby.
Objectively speaking, the intensity of this derby is actually far less intense than the East-West London derby, that is, the battle between Chelsea and Arsenal; and it is also far less intense than the West London derby, that is, Chelsea and Fulham. Judging from the historical record, Chelsea's 16-year
I have never lost, and at Tottenham's home court, I haven't lost in 20 years.
Therefore, the whole team went north without any psychological burden. I heard that Wang Ai would go directly to India after the game. Some people kindly warned Wang Ai not to go out alone at night. The reason was that a Swiss female diplomat was raped in the Indian capital three years ago...
While chatting and laughing, the bus drove into the parking lot of White Hart Lane. A large number of "white lilies" crowded outside the parking lot and launched magic attacks on Chelsea. Everyone did not take it seriously and entered the away team's dressing room under the guidance of Chelsea staff.
.
Wang Ai wore a thick black windbreaker with a full set of equipment inside. Although there was a high probability that he would not get a chance to play, he had to show his attitude to save the boss from worrying. After his teammates were guided into the field by the staff, Wang Ai followed the other staff in a low-key manner.
Entering the field, he sat down next to Little Wright, with Mourinho's gray head in front of him.
Wang Ai doesn't watch football very much, so he just stared at Mourinho's head in trance: It's not round-headed, it's more fun when it's furry. Yes, he wants to have such a silly hairstyle.
, where are the sponsors that would like him?
Occasionally taking a look at the game, there seems to be something wrong with the referee's penalty, but Chelsea is obviously better in terms of strength and confidence. There is nothing to worry about. Wang Ai started to slip away again, until Makelele made a rare assist to the frontcourt, and
Wang Ai felt a little more energetic after missing a long shot and hitting it in one fell swoop.
He just didn't expect it to be Makelele. Jose in the front row also laughed and turned around to explain to Wang Ai: The last time Claude scored was a year and a half ago.
In Chelsea, Makélélé's role is to be a destroyer, which is the same position as Deportivo's Mauro Silva. He and Essien serve as midfielders at the same time. He is the one who defends, and Essien is the one who assists.
Which one of them, I didn’t expect that I don’t know what kind of medicine Makelele took today, but he actually inserted himself into such a close position. Maybe he also thinks that White Hart Lane is Chelsea’s “home field”?
Even Makelele scored, Wang Ai couldn't help but yawn secretly, he would have to fly long distance in a while. Wang Ai started to suffer from jet lag yesterday, and the game was not interesting, so he was getting sleepy now, but after all, he was
I dare not sleep. Thousands of eyes are staring at me, and close-ups are sweeping over me from time to time. What if someone catches me sleeping on the bench? What did you do last night to make you so tired?
Unexpectedly, just when Wang Ai was distracted, Tottenham actually equalized less than 10 minutes after Makelele's goal: a simple free kick in the frontcourt. The reason was that Ferreira fouled first and then lost the ball.
bit, Jose roared for this. Wang Ai watched carefully for a few minutes and found no flaws in Chelsea as a whole, so he was confused again until the stoppage time of the first half. At this time, Tottenham gained a frontcourt
During the free kick, Ashley Cole and Makelele formed a wall and waited for the penalty kick. The referee Bohr waved them to continue to retreat. For some reason, Ashley Cole seemed to argue, and Bohl suddenly took out his hand.
He was given a yellow card and raised twice.
Makelele opened his eyes in disbelief: Why is there still me? I didn’t even say anything!
Ashley Cole was even more unbelievable: I was at Arsenal last season and it was not like this.
At halftime, Cole explained to Jose: "At that time, I said that I had already retreated, why should I retreat? He said, 'Because I asked you to retreat', and then I said that I was already in position, why should I retreat?
Retreat? Then he played his cards."
As soon as Cole finished speaking, Lampard, who usually only smiled and said nothing in the locker room, also said dullly: "I also argued with him during the game. He told me that you need to learn a lesson and you need to be severely punished.
so!"
Wang Ai was a little puzzled. The referee's attitude was quite arrogant. He made it clear that he wanted to deal with you, and he didn't even try to cover it up. Who did Chelsea offend again? It seems that many games this season have similar problems, and the standards of law enforcement are obviously wrong.
Chelsea is different. And some small teams go crazy when they play Chelsea...
Fortunately, everyone's confidence is quite high. After all, they have not lost at this stadium in 20 years. Moreover, Jose also made adjustments, replacing the underperforming right back Ferreira and replacing him with central defender Boralu.
This is a guest appearance.
In the second half, Wang Ai was a little more energetic and wanted to see if the team could seal the victory as soon as possible. As a result, during the period when Wang Ai was a little more energetic, Tottenham actually took the lead, and Boraluz, who had just come on, was easily shaken away.
As a result, the opponent successfully completed the outflank and scored.
Chelsea lost their voice for a moment, was it fake? Then, the players became anxious. Less than two minutes later, Essien was deliberately elbowed during the attack, and the elbow attacker only received a yellow card.
Jose was roaring, and Wang Ai tried to keep his eyes open. This time, it was really not the fault of Jose's temper. The scale of this black whistle was no weaker than that of the Chinese Super League and the A and B fakes.
After spitting on the fourth official, Jose turned back angrily, hesitated, and pointed at Wright.
