Chapter 75 Foul tactics? !
At White Hart Lane, there was a sudden burst of deafening cheers: Players from both teams are on the pitch!
This encounter attracted a lot of attention, and even Sky TV broadcast the match live.

Martin Taylor and Andy Gray, a pair of gold medal partners, naturally did their part and served as the host of the game.

"This game is the battle for No.7 in the league, and it is also the battle for the last place in the European competition! Next season's UEFA Cup place means not only a higher stage, but also more live broadcast revenue and more tickets. Income! So, this game is not only a battle of honor, but also a battle of money!" Andy Gray briefly explained the background, and then picked up a piece of paper: "Let's take a look at the lineups of the two teams The first is Manchester City. Manchester City is playing a 442 formation. The defensive line, from left to right, is Sun Jihai, Dunn, Richards, Trabelsi, and the four midfielders are Sybils Key, Barton, Sinclair, and... Harman? Am I reading that right?"

Andy Gray was stunned for a moment, and carefully looked at the piece of paper. The word "Harman" was indeed printed on it.Unwilling Andy Gray leaned out, and the players below stood in a row, raising the national flag and playing the national anthem.

"It's really Harman!" Andy Gray said, he still couldn't believe himself: "In this game that can only attack, Duncan didn't use Mido, who is more powerful in attack, but instead sent him who can only attack. Defensive Harman, does Duncan really think that only four players can beat Tottenham?" Andy Gray is still not optimistic about Duncan.

"Why not?" Martin Taylor jumped out and firmly supported Duncan: "In the match between Manchester City and Everton, Everton's league ranking was higher than Tottenham's. Mann came on, but in the end Manchester City still won. In this case, why use Mido?"

"That's different!" Andy Gray shook his head, "To beat Everton, you only need to break through Arteta's point. But Tottenham has several Arteta-level players, and their personal abilities are very outstanding. .If Harman is used to defend, not only will it not be able to prevent Tottenham's attack, but it will reduce Manchester City's offensive intensity...

Amid the debate between the two, the referee blew his whistle, and the much-anticipated match had already begun!

Tottenham, playing at home, took advantage of the right to kick-off and launched an attack first!
Tottenham midfielder Jenas took the ball. Using his dexterous foot skills, Jenas passed the chasing and intercepting of Samaras and Harman one after another. Before Button came up to defend, Jenas suddenly made a long pass.

The football flew straight to the right side of Manchester City, where two figures, one white and one blue, went side by side like a high-speed train!
Lennon!Trabelsi!

Two players who are also good at speed started a competition of pure speed on the wing.

Jenas's pass was straight and far. For others, it may not be able to keep up, but it is just right for Lennon's speed.

During the high-speed running, the arms of the two kept pulling. Trabelsi wanted to squeeze Lennon behind him, and Lennon wanted to overtake from the outside.

The speed of the two was evenly matched, and they rushed towards the football together!

The ball arrives, the people arrive!
After all, the defensive players are at a disadvantage, and their every move must follow the footsteps of the offensive players.In order to keep up with Lennon, Trabelsi had to use all his speed without reservation, so when Lennon, who was running at high speed, stopped suddenly and turned around, pointing the football to the middle with his head, Trabelsi was thrown by inertia to behind.

Berbatov went forward to grab a point, and the Bulgarian striker was the key target. Richards and Barton jumped up with Berbatov in between, but when he jumped into the air, Berbatov turned his head. Leaving the football behind, Dunn, who was defending him, also lost his focus.

"Oops! There's no one behind!" Martin Taylor exclaimed.

Robbie Keane appeared at the back point and shot lightly. The football hit Isaacson's leg and bounced off the baseline.

"Wow!" Before the audience in the stands sat still, Tottenham had already organized a threatening attack.

Robbie Keane scratched his head and ran back shaking his head.

Isaacson was in shock, and Berbatov's missed ball caught him off guard. Keane's grab from the back point was fast and close, and he didn't make any saves at all.It can only be said that Robbie Keane's luck was too bad for the ball to hit his leg.

Isaacson, who was covered in cold sweat, yelled loudly at Dunn, how could such a dangerous person pass by so easily?
Dunn shrank his neck and waved his hand. The ball was his mistake.Who made Robbie Keane move so deftly, Gao Cai was still against her, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to the goal and took a shot.

Isaacson then took the goal kick and passed the ball short to Li Dunne.Dunn turned his back to the attacking direction, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Robbie Keane and Berbatov rushing up aggressively.

Dunn was a little flustered and played the ball hastily.

Hasty tentacles, naturally the speed of the ball is not fast, Robbie Keane suddenly accelerates, chasing the football!

Richards was shocked. If the ball was taken by Robbie Keane, they would immediately get a single!Richards ran forward with all his strength, and finally flew the ball out of the baseline with a big foot before Robbie Keane touched the ball.

Robbie Keane couldn't stop and stepped on Richards' feet.

Richards screamed "ah", and lay on the ground clutching his feet.

The referee came over to check, and then hurriedly called the team doctor to play.

"Tottenham's opening offensive was very fierce! Manchester City seems to lack a countermeasure!" Andy Gray gloated.

Andy Gray peeked at Martin Taylor, and found that his partner was talking, not knowing what he was thinking.

Richards fell to the ground, and after Tottenham's two opening offensives, there was a fault.

After the re-kick-off, the Tottenham team had already retracted to their own half.

The football was passed three times and fell twice, reaching Button's feet.There was only Berbatov cruising in the frontcourt of Tottenham. Button easily passed the middle circle and advanced to 40 meters in the frontcourt. Tottenham still had no one to mark.

Patton passed a pass to Samaras, who was retreating. Samaras was about to turn around when a thigh stretched out from behind, and it was retracted as soon as it was stretched out, but it still tripped Samaras.

The referee's whistle sounded, foul.

Button took a free kick, the football was passed several times under the feet of several Manchester City players, and the referee blew a hasty whistle.

This time it was Wasser who was violated, and the location was similar to the previous one.

Joel on the bench nodded, affirming the performance of the players.

A few minutes later, Manchester City organized an offensive again, this time it was Barton who was knocked down by the opponent.The action of the Tottenham players was very appropriate, not only bringing Barton down, but also not getting a card.

The irritable Button immediately stood up, yelled at the Tottenham player who put him down with a blushing face, and almost poked his finger on the opponent's forehead.Fortunately, other nearby players came over immediately and dragged Barton away.

"Foul tactics?" Duncan turned his head and looked at Joel.Joel was also looking over, noticing Duncan's gaze, Joel smiled.

"It really is a foul tactic." Jim Cassell frowned: "Is this the method of Tottenham? To be honest, it is indeed very targeted!"

Manchester City's advantage lies in the close cooperation of the frontcourt players.Once Tottenham use foul tactics, the cooperation of Manchester City players will not be smooth.

The game went on for 10 minutes, and the referee's whistle sounded a full twelve times.Manchester City's successful passes rarely exceed three times.Every attack of Manchester City ends with a foul by Tottenham players.After the opening three tricks, all of Tottenham's energy seemed to be spent on fouls.

"The way Joel kept saying before the game to beat Manchester City, now we know - it is a foul tactic! Tottenham has obviously done in-depth research on Manchester City's front four, and even the foul methods are targeted. Yes Samaras used as much force as he could; he was mostly provocative to Barton; he specifically greeted Vassell on his ankles. These [-] fouls were even committed by eight players. It can be seen that Tottenham's Foul tactics are definitely organized and premeditated!"

PS: I’m sorry, everyone, the main board of the computer burned out a few days ago. After going back and forth twice, it finally works... The update that I owe, I can only make up for it later...
