"After the game started, Sunderland quickly took advantage of the field./qΒ5 and Tottenham started to defend. However, Sunderland should not have any carelessness, because Graham is best at defensive counterattacks. His ball
Teams can win with only one or two shots a game."
Mortensen looked at the situation on the field and explained it to everyone.
Indeed, Sunderland quickly took the initiative on the field five minutes after the start of the game. The midfielder completely became Sunderland's world.
Tottenham, on the other hand, returned to defence.
Only Les Ferdinand, Iverson and Ginola on the left were left in front to fight back.
"As we have learned, Coach Graham is really a defensive-oriented head coach. Such a style of play is too negative."
Huang Jianxiang looked at Tottenham's defense with disdain and sarcasm.
At present, there are teams in Chinese football that value defense. However, it is rare to see a defense like Graham's with all players retreating at the beginning of the game. Even in Serie A, their defense is not like Tottenham's defense.
Serie A's defense pays more attention to defensive quality and technology.
In addition, the skills of Serie A players are better than those of English players. Therefore, there will be no feeling of negative play like Tottenham.
Huang Jianxiang is an avid Serie A fan.
Serie A's defense looks like art, but Graham's Tottenham defense looks like a rogue.
"This is a turtle shell."
Han Qiaosheng next to him also responded to Huang Jianxiang with a smile.
Yes, it's a turtle shell.
Graham's specialty was making turtle shells.
His turtle shell was a huge success at Arsenal.
Won two top league championships, two League Cup championships, one FA Cup championship and one Cup Winners' Cup championship.
Because Arsenal's turtle shell was too powerful at that time.
It is precisely because of this that many teams hated Arsenal at that time.
Because Arsenal didn't have any shots in the whole game. They were all defensive, which can almost make you depressed. Then with one or two counterattack opportunities, Ian Wright scored the only goal of the game.
One to zero.
This was the most common scoreline for Graham's Arsenal that year.
When he arrived at Tottenham, Graham still couldn't forget about making turtle shells.
In the League Cup final, Graham wanted to win the game by relying on his turtle shell and his best defensive counterattacks.
ridiculous.
Su Yun was very nervous before the game. But he was nervous. Su Yun didn't fall behind at all when he needed to analyze and understand.
If it were Arsenal in the past, Su Yun would be really worried.
Too bad this isn't Arsenal.
This is Tottenham.
Turtle shell?
How can a turtle shell be so easy to make?
In the last league match with Tottenham, Su Yun's understanding was limited because the schedule was too tight. And because it was an away game, Su Yun's strategy at that time was to stabilize the defense, especially the strategy of targeting Ginola.
But this time in order to play in the League Cup final, Su Yun analyzed and analyzed everything about Tottenham.
Su Yun didn't know how many Tottenham games he had watched this season.
Su Yun is now well aware of the loopholes in Tottenham's defense.
Tottenham's defense doesn't depend on the number of players, but there are a lot of loopholes.
The first is the defense in the middle of the midfield.
As a defensive midfielder, Freund can be regarded as a good defensive midfielder in England. But he is only good. He cannot be compared with Keane, Vieira, and Wise, or even compared with David Batty.
, Haman, and Bart are all far behind.
And Sherwood himself is not a player who does dirty work.
How could there be no loopholes in the defense formed by the two of them?
But Su Yun was not looking for their loopholes.
Su Yun was targeting Tottenham's loophole on the left.
Tottenham's left back is Tarico from the English League One. Although his strength is good, this is his first season in England. And he just joined Tottenham in the winter transfer. In addition, left midfielder Ginola
He is also a player who cannot return to defense, so there is a lot of pressure on his side.
Su Yun targeted his loophole.
Turtle shell?
See how I break a turtle shell.
"Karel, Karel!"
Su Yun shouted Boboski's name loudly. Today, more than 87,000 fans poured into Wembley Stadium, and the stadium that accommodates 89,000 people was almost completely full. Some of the remaining seats were to prevent
The space left vacant by accident.
So many fans cheered loudly.
Su Yun's voice was simply not worth mentioning under such circumstances.
Fortunately, Boboski was not far from Su Yun's position and heard Su Yun's voice.
But it's too noisy.
Su Yun didn't say anything else.
He just kept making gestures of pressing forward, and then shouted: "Breakthrough! Breakthrough! Breakthrough forward!"
Boboski nodded.
Because Tottenham gave up the midfield, almost all players were in the 40-meter area in front of their own goal. Therefore, it was very easy for Sunderland to control the ball in the midfield.
Savage handed the ball to Williams again.
Williams runs very actively. Of course, he is a runner. In the latest statistics, Williams is the best runner in England. So far, Williams' average running distance per game is
Passed 12,000 meters. Reached 12,600 meters.
It's slightly lower than at the beginning of the season.
But he is still the best.
Williams dribbling doesn't look good at all.
Straightforward.
But no one will underestimate Williams. After nearly a season, no one will ignore Williams. So Sherwood stepped forward to block Williams.
Although Sherwood's defensive ability is limited, he still has to look good.
Although he made a show of it, Sherwood was not a defensive player after all, and his defensive actions were very amateurish. Williams was about to add from the left. Sherwood also moved with Williams. But just as Sherwood moved, Williams moved the ball.
Dunk. Break through from his right.
"Hahaha, Sherwood's defense is so amateurish."
Mortensen couldn't help laughing.
"Yeah. As long as the defensive player was fooled by Williams' fake move just now, Williams' passing was very amateurish, and Sherwood's defense was even more amateurish."
Alan Hansen also shook his head.
For a defensive player like Alan Hansen, Williams' passing move was completely childish. It looked like a fake move. Sherwood was even fooled by such a childish passing move. This made Alan.
Hansen could only smile bitterly.
Alan Hansen wished he was on the field.
If it had been him and Williams doing such a childish extraordinary move just now, Alan Hansen would have burst into laughter.
After passing Sherwood, Freund blocked the front.
Tottenham's defense is one after another. Although Freund's defense is not very good, Williams' passing skills are average. It is simply difficult for Williams to pass Freund.
Williams.
Williams was self-aware, so he never thought about making a breakthrough.
Just after Sherwood, Williams passed the ball to the right before Freund.
"Williams... passes the ball, from the right!"
After a season of cooperation, Bobosky and Williams have a good tacit understanding. As soon as Williams makes a move, Bobosky knows that the ball is passed to him. Therefore, he has already started running in advance.
.
Tarico also reacted.
Williams' pass was passed between Boboski and Tarico.
Boboski, who still reacted quickly, came to the ball first, and Tarico's reaction was not slow either. He was already very close to Boboski.
Bobosky saw that Tarico's attack was not slowing down. Facing Williams, he directly picked up the ball with his left foot, and then continued to run.
"Boboski...the ball flew over Tarico's head...Boboski, he passed Tarico, he got the ball!"
Bobosky's beautiful left-footed pick made Tarico completely lose his position.
The 27-year-old Bobosky has already been playing in British football for three seasons.
Get used to handling the ball cleanly.
After passing Tarico, there was no extra movement, it was just a cross.
"Boboski...cross!"
Sunderland's best aerial player is Quinn.
Defending Quinn is Tottenham captain Campbell. Campbell is the best central defender in England in recent years. His physical fitness is extremely good. If anyone in the current English football world can physically compete with Quinn, then it is only Campbell.
.
Campbell looked at Quinn.
But when Bobosky passed the ball, Campbell immediately gave up on Quinn.
Because Campbell judged that the ball's landing point was not in the penalty area, but near the penalty area. Campbell is not a player who only looks at people but not the ball.
Campbell's corner already found Williams.
Everyone knows about Williams's late shot.
Campbell didn't believe that Freund would be able to withstand the impact of Williams' back attack.
So Campbell moved quickly and jumped high into the air.
"Williams...Campbell!"
Campbell jumps backwards, while Williams jumps from behind. There is not much difference in height between the two. However, Williams is better than Campbell in jumping ability, plus he jumps from behind. So before Campbell
It hit the ball.
Unfortunately, due to Campbell's interference, the shot failed.
The ball just went into the penalty area.
"The ball went into the penalty area...Phillips, this is Phillips!"
The ball just landed in the penalty area, and there was a melee inside. The ball was bouncing, and everyone was running towards the ball.
And only one person responded the fastest.
The sense of smell is the most sensitive.
Kevin Phillips.
He is a player who lives in the penalty area and relies on his sense of smell.
Before the ball hit the ground from the air, Phillips had already determined where the ball would land. Before all the players could react, Phillips was already waiting for the ball to hit the ground.
As soon as the ball hit the ground, Phillips didn't give Tottenham's players any chance to react. He just fired with his left foot.
