Chapter 72 The Romance of the Three Premier League Countries

Successfully won the League Cup, Tottenham celebrated grandly after the game. Moreover, Lao Lei then gave the team a three-day vacation and did not resume training until Thursday.

The season has entered the most critical March, how does Lao Lei have the confidence to give the team a holiday like this? It's not just because the team has won the League Cup and has no other pursuits, but because Tottenham will not have a Premier League game in the following weekend.

Because Tottenham broke into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup this season, and this weekend happened to be the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, Tottenham's away game against Manchester City in the 29th round of the Premier League was forced to be postponed.

And because Tottenham's top management has determined that the team will hit the league championship this season, Lao Lei has decided to strategically abandon the FA Cup. So, this weekend, he will send a bench lineup to Craven Farm to give the main players a rest.

Now that they are planning to give up the FA Cup game, there is no need to prepare for this game too seriously.

Sure enough, in the match against Fulham at Craven Farm on the weekend, almost all the main players such as Lao Rayjean Bell, Modric, Crouch and Defoe took turns.

However, in order to show the team's unity, Bell, Modric and others still went to Craven Farm, but they watched the whole game from the stands.

However, the result of this game made Lao Lei a little dumbfounded, because Tottenham, who played as a substitute, actually played 0-0 against Fulham in the away game, and the two sides had to choose another day to fight again.

Of course, Lao Lei didn't worry too much. When the rematch happened, he would just send a substitute lineup to play. Whether he was promoted or eliminated, everything was up to fate.

………………

In the 29th round of the Premier League, Manchester United was out early in the FA Cup, and the league went on as scheduled. In the end, Scholes scored the only goal of the game, helping Manchester United beat Wolves 1-0 in the away game, chasing the points to 63 points, only one point behind Tottenham.

In addition, Chelsea's league match with Portsmouth was forced to be postponed due to the FA Cup match. As a result, Chelsea was overtaken by Manchester United and fell to the third place in the standings. Their motivation stayed at the number of 61 points.

After another week of rest, on March 13, Tottenham finally ushered in their opponents in the 30th round of the league, playing against Blackburn at home.

This is the first game of the 30th round of the Premier League, and the start time is 12:45 noon.

Tottenham, who have been resting for nearly half a month, can be said to be the main force, and Bell still appears in the position of left midfielder.

But on the other side it wasn't Lennon, the kid got injured in mid-week training and had to rest for a week, so Bell was partnered with Kranjja.

Bell used Robben's experience card in this game, which he got in a lottery after the League Cup final. In that game, Bell won four lucky draw opportunities, and the four experience cards he got belonged to Robben, Giggs, Joe Cole and Gary Neville.

After nearly half a month of rest, although Bell lived a shameless life with Bond girls during the period, but the body of the 20-year-old is really good, he feels that he is full of energy, so he did not exchange for two stars in this game Or a three-star experience card, just using Robben's one-star experience card.

Blackburn is not a strong team, it is time for him to learn the experience of the game.

Perhaps because the rest time was too long, the Tottenham players were a little slow in this game,

Unable to enter the state for a long time. Fortunately, the opponent Blackburn is not a very ambitious team. They are now ranked 11th in the league. They have no worries about relegation and no hope of entering the European theater. Therefore, the entire first half was in a state of no fire. carried out below.

However, at the end of the first half, Tottenham unexpectedly took the lead.

In half-time stoppage time, Joel Luka's header went wide from Kranjca's corner, but Blackburn's substitute goalkeeper Jason Brown went out of position and Defoe scored an empty goal from close range.

However, Defoe's goal is of no use in competing for the scorer list. Because of the consecutive non-goals some time ago, Defoe has basically withdrawn from the scorer list. His current number of goals is only 16. Bell opened the gap by double digits.

If nothing else, the battle for the top scorer in the Premier League this season will start between Bell, Rooney and Drogba. From the current point of view, Bell, who scored 25 goals, is undoubtedly in a clear advantage. In addition, Rooney, who has scored 23 goals, is also very competitive. Drogba, who has only 19 goals, is undoubtedly in the most disadvantaged position.

………………

After the start of the second half, Tottenham gradually entered the state. They completely suppressed Blackburn in the situation, and in the 55th minute of the game, they expanded the score advantage.

The goal was launched by Bale on the left flank. He used speed to force Blackburn's right flank and then passed the ball forward. After Defoe received the ball, under the tight defense of Blackburn, he was unable to hit the goal. He chose to pass the ball to the back point, and Pavlyuchenko, who replaced Crouch, scored a low shot from the right side of the penalty area.

2:0, Tottenham almost sealed the victory!

After taking a two-goal lead, Tottenham slowed down their offensive rhythm, and they pursued more control of the situation. Blackburn didn't intend to fight Tottenham, and the game looked very harmonious.

However, that harmony was shattered in the 80th minute when Blackburn scored from a corner kick to bring a point back. Pedersson's corner was headed home by Blackburn's towering Congolese centre-half Christopher Samba.

The goal fueled Blackburn's hopes of scoring at White Hart Lane.

After playing 28 rounds of Premier League games, Blackburn's points are only 34 points. Although they are 11 points higher than the relegation zone, they have not completely escaped the danger of relegation. If you can get a point from Tottenham, it's an extra point of insurance, isn't it?

Therefore, in the subsequent games, the Blackburn players suddenly became active.

Faced with such a situation, Tottenham naturally can no longer play lukewarmly. It would be very bad if they were equalized or even overtaken by Blackburn.

As a result, when the game was about to come to an end, the atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense.

At this critical juncture, Bell stopped being polite, and directly used the five minutes of Robben's possession time that had been reserved. And this decision also helped Tottenham secure the victory.

………………

In the 85th minute of the game, when the Blackburn players thought Bell would choose to pass from the bottom, he suddenly chose to cut inside, which disrupted Blackburn's defensive order.

But when Blackburn's midfielder Nzonzi leaned over to defend him, Bell suddenly passed the ball.

Bell passed the ball very stealthily. Nzonzi is tall. When he was running, the gap between his legs was relatively large. Bell directly made an accurate low pass. After piercing Nzonzi's crotch, he found Teammate Pavlyuchenko in the penalty area.

Although Pavlyuchenko is a tall, strong and powerful center forward, he is very good at grabbing points and running positions.

When Bell chose to cut inside and Blackburn's defense was in chaos, Pavlyuchenko quickly ran out of the gap, and then saw Bell's pass coming.

This is a position very close to the penalty spot, and there are no defensive personnel around. For Pavlyuchenko, who has a strong ability to grasp opportunities, it is undoubtedly an easy shot opportunity.

Pavlyuchenko didn't waste Bell's pass, facing the rolling ball, with a slight push with his arch, the ball obediently changed direction and rolled into Blackburn's goal.

Just when Blackburn was just getting started, Tottenham's goal was undoubtedly a cold water for them, extinguishing their desire to score points.

This is a goal to seal the victory!

After Tottenham once again exceeded the score, the emotions of the Blackburn players suddenly cooled down, and the game returned to a more normal atmosphere.

In the end, the score of this game remained at 3:1, Bell did not score a goal and only made one assist. But Tottenham continued to consolidate their lead.

………………

With the end of Tottenham's game, the 30th round of the Premier League is also fully played.

At 3:00 pm GMT on March 13th, five Premier League games will start at the same time. Stoke City will face Aston Villa at home, Birmingham will face Everton at home, Burnley will face Wolves at home, and Bolton will also welcome Wigan. challenge. As for the last game, it was the Blues Chelsea against the Hammers at Stamford Bridge to help West Ham United.

After 90 minutes of fierce fighting, the Blues beat the Hammers 4:1 at home. Didier Drogba scored twice and scored 21 goals!

This is a strong voice from the Ivorians to compete for the top scorer in the Premier League. Obviously, for the competition for the top scorer, Warcraft will not hand in their guns easily.

It is obvious that Drogba is not the only one who will not admit defeat easily, and the new Red Devils king is also working hard.

After being suppressed by Ronaldo for several years, as Ronaldo left Real Madrid last summer, Rooney ushered in his full-scale explosion in the Premier League.

On the afternoon of March 14th, in Manchester United's home game against Fulham, Rooney also scored twice, raising his league goals to 25, tying Bell, who did not score this round. .

In the competition for the Premier League standings, Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United staged a three-nation battle, and in the competition for the top scorer in the Premier League, the ace shooters of the three clubs also staged a similar competition, and even their positions did not change at all.

In the standings, Tottenham lead with 67 points, Manchester United clung on with 66 points, and Chelsea are not far behind with 64 points; and in the scorer list, Bell and Rooney both scored 25 goals. Ranked first, Drogba ranked third with 21 goals.
