Chapter 73 Bell from the Heart

After a week's rest, the Tottenham squad traveled to Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire to take on the Potters. The bet365 stadium is not a blessed place for Tottenham. The last time they won at this venue was 25 years ago. In the first round of the confrontation between the two sides this season, Tottenham almost suffered a loss in the hands of Sky City. In the end, it was only thanks to Bell's brace that they scored three points with difficulty.

Although there will be a rematch of the FA Cup quarter-finals in the middle of the week, Lao Lei still leads the main force to play against the Potters. After all, in Lao Lei's plan, the FA Cup has been regarded as a discarded event, and the league is the main one.

However, Defoe got a rest in this game, and Pavlyuchenko, who performed well in the previous game, was able to start. In addition, Lennon's injury has not healed yet, and Kranjica continues to start.

After the opening game, Tottenham played in the away game very actively, because the players were all motivated by the hope of winning the league championship, and their initiative was extremely high.

In order to stop Tottenham's attack, Stoke City's actions were a bit rough. After the opening, he greeted Tottenham's offensive players with fierce fouls many times in a row, and Bell is undoubtedly the object of focus.

On the one hand, this is because Bell is the undoubted core of the current Tottenham team. As long as he is guarded, the threat of Tottenham will be greatly reduced; A good thing for Stoke City, the three points that allowed them to get it are gone.

Now back at home, the people of Stoke City intend to give Bell a little color.

The first half of the game was frequently interrupted by the whistle of the referee McDean. Only 30 minutes later, Stoke City had already been sentenced to more than a dozen fouls, and about one-third of the fouls were punished. They used it on Bale.

But Pulis's team style is very tenacious. Although they were fouled again and again, they had no intention of restraining themselves.

………………

In such a game atmosphere, Bell played a little timidly.

Especially when the game progressed to the 32nd minute, Stoke City's midfielder Whitehead shoveled and shoveled Bell's Tottenham teammate Pavlyuchenko's leg with blood, he was a little scared.

This season, Bell has played quite a few games, and he has been treated roughly by opponent players, but it is really rare to be as ruthless as Stoke City is today.

After persisting for four minutes, Pavlyuchenko had to take the initiative to apply to Lao Lei for a substitution, and then limped off the field.

At that moment, Bell had to admit that he decided to follow his heart in this game. Nima, under normal circumstances, being fouled by an opponent is just a pain. Even if it is an injury, it is likely to be a minor injury. But if he was injured by a foul by Stoke City today, it would probably be a broken leg.

In another time and space, Bell often missed games due to injuries, and his physique is also very prone to injuries. So far this season, he has hardly been injured.

Seeing that the season is coming to an end, and the championship has come to a very critical time, if there is a serious injury at this juncture, or even a broken leg, then this season will be over.

Bell knows exactly what the failure to win the league means.

"Keep the green hills, don't be afraid of no firewood! The people of Stoke City can only play this game against themselves. Although the style of other teams in the Premier League is rough, it is impossible for everyone to be like the people of Stoke City... ..." Bell thought to himself, reducing his touches more and more.

He didn't take the initiative to catch the ball, and the number of times Bell was violated was also significantly reduced. But what followed was that his threat on the court plummeted.

On Tottenham's side, because of Bell's silence, there were basically no threatening offenses in the first half. Fortunately, Stoke City's offensive ability is also very limited, and they spent most of their energy on fouls, so they didn't score a goal.

When McDean blew the whistle to end the first half, the score remained at 0:0.

………………

Lao Lei naturally noticed that in the first half of the game, Bell was targeted hard, so he made adjustments to the team's tactics during the halftime break. He asked Bell to strengthen his running in the second half of the game. As long as he runs, there will always be opportunities. Even if he has no chance himself, he can attract Stoke City's defensive attention and create opportunities for his teammates.

Bell accepted Lao Lei's suggestion, and from the beginning of the second half, he resolutely implemented Lao Lei's decision. As soon as the whistle blew, he ran down Stoke's left.

Bale is currently the top scorer in the Premier League scorer list. Stoke City players naturally value him highly. Although he did not perform well in the first half because he was severely targeted, Stoke City people know that as long as this kid is given a chance , he is the biggest threat.

Therefore, when the Stoke City players saw Bell rushing forward, they naturally thought that Tottenham had some tactics, and everyone focused on Bell.

However, the Stoke City people were wrong. In the second half, Tottenham's offensive focus was not on Bell!

When Bell took the lead and rushed to the left of Stoke City, Crouch and Gudjohnsen, who kicked off in the center circle, also advanced.

Modric received a pass from Crouch, took a few steps, and found that the attention of the Stoke City players was basically on Bale running forward from the left. Without attracting the attention of Stoke City people, he immediately had an idea.

He dodged Whelan, who was pestering him, and made a long pass to Crouch, who was running forward.

Crouch received a pass from Modric at the top of the arc in the penalty area, and after a slight adjustment, he passed it directly to Gudjohnsen who advanced forward.

When Gudjohnsen received a pass from Crouch near the penalty spot, the Stoke City players panicked: Nima, we were all cheated! That kid Bell is just a cover, designed to attract our defensive attention!

The ex-Chelsea midfielder was in control of the ball when two of Stoke's centre-backs pounced on Gudjohnsen, and he calmly shrugged off Faye and fired into the top corner from 10 yards.

Only 20 seconds into the second half of the game, Tottenham scored a goal and broke the deadlock on the field!

………………

In this goal, Bell didn't seem to be involved in the whole process, but anyone who watched the game knows that he played a very important role in it.

If it weren't for his forward penetration on the left that attracted too much attention from Stoke City, Modric would never have been able to send a through ball so easily, and Crouch would not have had such a good opportunity to adjust and then pass. Gudjohnsen, and it is impossible for Gudjohnsen to have such a chance to calmly adjust his foot in the penalty area.

As the top scorer in the Premier League, as long as Bell is on the court, he is the biggest threat to opponents, let alone he is still advancing quickly. starter

After he attracted the defensive attention of many Stoke City, other Tottenham players on the field gained more space and opportunities.

Of course the people of Stoke City knew Bell's role in this goal. They were a little annoyed. They targeted Bell like that in the first half and managed to contain his performance. It was only the beginning of the second half, and they were tricked by this kid. Let Tottenham score a goal, how can this be tolerated?

Therefore, when the game restarted, the Stoke City people intensified their efforts against Bell.

In just three minutes, Bell was violated by Stoke City players three times.

However, although Bell was knocked down three times, the people of Stoke City vented their depression, but they soon lost their complacency, because the referee McDean showed the Ruby card to the Stoke City players !

It was Stoke City's defensive midfielder Whitehead who got the ruby ​​card.

In the first half, Whitehead received a yellow card for shoveling Pavlyuchenko fiercely. Now he tackled Bale and was shown a second yellow card by McDean. As a result, two yellows turned into one red and he was sent off. outside.

Although the Stoke City players continued to explain around McDean, although Whitehead rushed to Bell and scolded him for diving, none of this affected McDean's penalty.

After some confusion, Whitehead had to walk off the field with a black face, and Stoke City had to fight with ten men from the 49th minute of the game.
