Football King Bale

At three o'clock in the afternoon on December 12, 2009, the 16th round of the Premier League started seven contests at the same time, namely Burnley vs. Fulham at home, Hull City vs. Blackburn at home, Bolton vs. Manchester City at home, Chelsea vs. Everton at home. , Tottenham vs. Wolves at home, Birmingham vs. West Ham at home, Sunderland vs. Portsmouth at home.

Among them, the games between Chelsea and Everton and Tottenham and Wolves are undoubtedly the focus of attention, because now the two teams have 36 points together, and Chelsea tops the list with a two goal difference advantage. In this game, whoever makes a mistake will fall behind.

Having just rested for a week, Lao Lei naturally sent a full main lineup, goalkeeper Gomez, back four Hector, Bassoon, Dawson, Joel Luka, Huddlestone and Palacios as double midfielders , Bell and Lennon are separated left and right, and the two forwards are naturally Crouch and Defoe.

Modric, who performed well as a substitute in the last game, did not enter the squad today. The Croatian has a cold and is recuperating at home.

The opponent is a newly promoted team, and it is still in the relegation zone. Tottenham are full of confidence in winning the game. After all, it's not just that Tottenham are much stronger than their opponents now, but the historical record of the two sides' battles also favors Tottenham's victory. Tottenham have achieved 7 wins and 1 tie in the previous 8 games between the two sides and remained unbeaten. The last time the Wolves defeated Tottenham was in 1981, and the away win against Tottenham dates back to 1973.

However, after the start of the game, the Wolves caught Tottenham by surprise and took the lead early.

In the second minute of the game, Wolves' first attack caused a foul by Palacios. The referee Atwell awarded the Wolves a free kick on the right that was 40 yards away from Tottenham's goal.

Tottenham didn't pay too much attention to such a free kick that didn't pose much threat. They only set up a one-person wall. The two strikers didn't come back in the middle circle. They planned to wait for the defenders to defend successfully and fight back against the Wolves. . As for the other Tottenham players, they are not too focused.

After the referee Atwell blew his whistle, Wolves midfielder Millias made a cross. In the middle, amidst the tug and pull of the players on both sides, the front line was quickly moving towards the Tottenham goal.

In the crowd, Wolves striker Kevin Doyle grabbed the ball in the crowd and headed it into the far post. Tottenham goalkeeper Gomez looked at the ball and sighed, there was nothing he could do.

In the third minute of the game, Tottenham fell behind at home!

……………………

Conceding the ball so easily made Tottenham coach Harry Redknapp furious. He came to the sidelines, yelled at the players on the field, and then waved for the team to attack aggressively and equalize the score as soon as possible.

Although there is a saying that there are no underdogs in the Premier League, things happen from time to time that relegation teams overwhelm strong teams in the gutter, but it has to be said that relegation teams like Wolves have limited strength. If Tottenham are against them, they will not be able to If they get points, even if they can't get three points, what will the team do to compete with other strong teams?

In particular, the Wolves not only have poor offensive firepower, they only scored 14 goals after 15 rounds, averaging less than 1 goal per game, ranking second to last in the Premier League after Stoke City; at the same time, their defense is also very bad. Conceded 28 goals in 15 rounds, almost two goals in every game, ranking sixth in the Premier League.

The reason why Lao Lei dared to let Tottenham attack across the board is because the Wolves' offense is poor and their defense is poor. Fighting against the Wolves, with Tottenham's most powerful attack line in the Premier League, he has full confidence.

After 15 rounds, Tottenham scored 46 goals, averaging more than 3 goals per game, 8 goals more than the second-placed Gunners Arsenal. Tottenham players ranked first and second in the scorer list: Defoe scored 13 goals and ranked first, Bell, who scored 11 goals, was tied with Rooney and Drogba, but because there were no penalties in his goals,

To be ranked second.

Tottenham's offensive power is indeed powerful. After Lao Lei got angry, they launched an overwhelming attack on the Wolves' half, completely suppressing the Wolves in the half.

In this kind of comprehensive suppression, Tottenham also got a lot of chances to hit the goal. Unfortunately, Tottenham's attacking players seem to have forgotten to wear shooting boots today. One by one, the shots either hit the plane or missed the goal.

Of course, Tottenham also had a lot of shots and hit the target, but the Wolves' defense was poor before, but today's defense exploded. Not only did the defenders perform well, but their old American goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann seemed to be on the hook today, keeping Tottenham's offensive players away again and again.

At the end of the first half, Tottenham had 13 shots, 4 hits on target, and 0 goals. As for the Wolves, they had 1 shot and 1 goal. The number of balls is still 1!

Among Tottenham's 13 shots, striker Defoe contributed the most 5 times, but the embarrassing thing is that he only hit the target once in these 5 shots!

Followed by Crouch, Gao Lao also contributed 3 shots, and his shot hit the goal frame only once!

In addition, Lennon had two shots, one on the post. Tottenham's remaining three shots came from midfielder Huddlestone, Palacios and central defender Dawson.

Something seems wrong? Why didn't Bale take a shot?

That's right, throughout the first half, Bell didn't get a chance to shoot. As the best player in the Premier League last month, he also performed well in the first two games of this month, so he was the most closely guarded by the Wolves. The head coach of the Wolves not only arranged for a player to closely mark Bell, but also made other players near Bell ready to help defend at any time. In addition, the Wolves players also used killing tactics against Bell. Forty-five minutes in the first half, Bell suffered a lot. Statistics show that the number of times Bell was violated in the first half was as high as 6 times!

Today, the Wolves players are worthy of their team's name, each and every one of them seems to have transformed into ferocious wolves, constantly pounce and bite Bell, as if they want to destroy Bell at any time.

Under such a frenzied defense, Bell still wants to play well, that is simply delusional.

While the Wolves put a lot of defensive energy on Bell, the defensive strength in other positions is insufficient. This is why other Tottenham players can get so many shooting opportunities.

It's a pity that Bell's teammates were too disappointing. Out of 13 shots, they only hit the target 4 times, and they didn't score a single goal!
