No. 179: Tackle, brace!
In the 33rd minute of the first half, Wolves scored by Wang Rui and temporarily led by one goal.
According to the past practice, Wolves will take advantage of the victory at this time. However, before the game could restart, Ince gave his players a new order to hold on to the half.
No one questioned Ince's command, and as Wolves dominated League One, knocked out Liverpool and Chelsea and reached the Carabao Cup final, his position in the dressing room was cemented and arguably supreme.
The game began again when Tottenham, who were trailing in the scoreline, launched a ferocious attack to equalise before half-time. A wave of white attack was higher than a wave, and it pounced fiercely towards the Wolves penalty area.
The Wolves players in orange jerseys are like a silent reef on the coast, using their bodies again and again to resist the surging waves.
In the 35th minute of the first half, Lennon found a long-range shot opportunity in the penalty area, and shot angrily, and the football went out of the goal!
In the thirty-seventh minute of the first half, Tottenham took a corner kick, and Berbatov pushed the football high under the interference of Kentin!
Three minutes later, Wolves had a quick counter-attack, and Wang Rui led the ball quickly towards Tottenham's half. Without waiting to pass the football to Kevin Foley on the left, he spotted the dangerous TeΓ±o and took him down.
The referee blew the whistle and gave TeΓ±o a yellow card. The purpose of the opponent's foul was to disrupt the Wolves' quick counterattack and did not cause harm to Wang Rui.
Wang Rui took Peter's hand, got up from the slippery turf, and habitually slapped his buttocks. It wasn't grass clippings that shook off his buttocks, but muddy rain.
Wolves took a direct free-kick, but there weren't many Wolves players in the Tottenham half, and Tony Dinen kicked the ball straight into the Tottenham box.
The ball was too powerful to go straight to the goal, and Saini jumped lightly to hold the ball in his hand.
However, just then, an accident happened, and the slippery ball fell from his hand to the turf!
Peter, who was closest to the football, flashed a fine light in his eyes, and while taking a step forward, he yelled at Wang Rui: "Run!" β
Wang Rui didn't hesitate, broke free from the crowd, and went straight forward!
The Tottenham players in the box watched in amazement. Li Rongbi was the first to react, he realized the danger and immediately chased after Wang Rui.
At this moment, Peter's center of gravity dropped, and he wanted to pass the ball to Wang Rui with a tackle. After a slight distraction, Saini pounced quickly, risking injury and getting the ball under him before Peter could touch the ball.
Time does not freeze, it flows according to established laws. Peter's toes and Saini's hands are getting closer and closer to the football.
Saini's finger touches the football!
However, the next moment, Peter's right foot hit the football like a sledgehammer, and the football flew two meters in front of Wang Rui!
Wang Rui's eyes were bright, and he wanted to finish the shot with a push, but after a moment, he changed his plan. Because he found the Korean Lee Young-pyo on the left, he had the idea to destroy it with a tackle.
Wang Rui took a step forward, and almost at the same time as Li Rongpyo, his center of gravity dropped, and he headed towards football!
The air in the stadium is tense again!
After all, Wang Rui's position is better than Li Rongpyo's, closer to the football, and the next moment, Wang Rui's sole hit the football!
The ball changes direction and flies towards the empty goal!
Li Rongpyo still has a work ethic, and seeing that the tackle was hopeless, he put away his right leg to avoid kicking on Wang Rui's body.
At this moment, a white figure clinging to the turf and sliding towards the football at a rapid pace, he wanted to destroy!
That figure is Tottenham centre-back Ridley King!
He was the second fastest to react after Li Rongpyo, and after a quick judgment, he came to the most suitable position.
Tottenham fans covered their mouths and Wolves fans watched nervously. The air at Wembley Stadium froze and everyone knew how big the ball would have on both sides.
The next moment, Ridley. The sole of the gold touches the soccer ball!
His touch sped up the ball rolling, and it rolled across the goal line and into the net at a faster rate!
Wolverhampton TV football commentator Andy Keogh grabbed the microphone, took a deep breath and shouted, "The ball is in!" Entered! Entered! Entered! β¦β¦β
Sky TV commentator Kent yelled into the microphone: "When the first half was about to be accepted, Saini pounced on the ball and Peter stabbed the ball smartly and passed the football to the king!" Wang shoveled a shot, and the football flew into the Tottenham goal again! β
"A brace! The king shines amazingly! The Wolves twin stars shine brightly! β
"In previous games, King was the passer and Peter was the finisher, but in this game, they swapped roles and Peter became the passer and King became the finisher. Anyway, the Wolves twin stars shine all over the field! β
'With only five minutes to go into the first half, Wolves are likely to go into the second half with a two-goal lead and the pressure is on Tottenham!'
At this moment, the south side of the court was already boiling, and the saliva man howled excitedly, and his saliva sprayed into the stadium......
There was a deathly silence on the north side of the pitch, and they never imagined that their team would be 2-0 down. Such a Wolves team, defeating Liverpool and Chelsea, in addition to luck, really still has a certain strength.
At the moment, they have to admit that Wolves are an opponent who deserves respect.
Ince didn't shake his fist as excitedly as he did with the first ball, but just smiled. Tottenham boss Jisandy Ramos angrily kicked over a bottle of mineral water at his feet......
In the VIP seat, Redknapp shook his head again, fighting in the rain was indeed full of accidents, but why did it happen to Tottenham?
By this time he had forgotten Berbatov's header at the junction of the post and crossbar, and Kentin slipped to allow the Bulgarian to head in the net without interference.
Jude Law also shook his head and sighed, the Wolves twin stars are really powerful, my Tottenham hole is too big, do they have a chance to chase it back in the second half?
Morgan didn't dance and yell this time, but applauded like everyone else. Wenner's eyebrows were raised, his eyes full of joy, after 28 years, we finally had a chance to win this trophy......
Tottenham's top brass looked very ugly, their opponents were not Manchester United, they were not Chelsea, they were Wolves, they were a League One team. Even if it is a giant, they will not be timid, you must know that in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final, they thrashed Arsenal 5-1 at White Hart Lane.
Now the first half is not over, and my team is already two goals behind, hey......
The crowd of reporters on the sidelines looked at each other, knowing that the goal was a surprise. But there are a lot of surprises on the football pitch, and only the best players can take advantage of them and turn them into goals.
A reporter blurted out: "The League Cup is really a hotbed of upsets!" β
The subtext of the remark is that Wolves can win this game. Park Sung-hwan's face was extremely ugly, and he realized that he might lose the bet again.
Michael chuckled: "An upset is an upset, and you must also have the strength to be an upset." Wolves were able to knock out Liverpool and Chelsea successively, which shows that they already have a certain strength. β
"If nothing else, how many goals has Wang scored in these games? That's telling. His third goal against Liverpool was past four Liverpool players, and that was not luck, but strength. β
Park Sung-hwan didn't speak, but his face became more ugly.
β¦β¦
Manchester City, the lord looked at the TV screen, his face sinking like water. After a while, he didn't know what to think, and his spirits were better again. Shortly after the game, there were media reports that United were interested in bringing Peter to Old Trafford.
On the one hand, the lord took a fancy to Peter's great potential, and on the other hand, he wanted to use this way to attack Wang Rui. I just won't let you return, not only that, but I will buy your tacit partner!
Break with me, you dar, boy, I have countless ways to insult you!
β¦β¦
In the stadium, Wang Rui hugged Peter again. Looking at this high-spirited pair, the Tottenham players fell silent and frowned. Until now, they couldn't figure out why they were two goals behind.
Wolves' first goal was a quick counter-attack, which was a surprise to Tottenham, but what was this one?
Accidents, damn accidents!
They raised their heads and let the rain fall on their faces, their hearts full of discomfort and grievance.
Soon the game resumed, and Wolves regained half of the pitch and erected a wall of human flesh in front of the penalty area. Tottenham launched an even more ferocious attack. But until the Wolves are united, they can only return again and again in vain.
As the referee's whistle sounded, the first half was over, and Wolves temporarily led 2-0!
Would anyone have thought of this result before the game?
No one, not even the pro-Wolves media, did not expect this to be the result at the end of the first half.
Wolves fans burst into thunderous applause, and they were applauding their own team, hoping that they would continue to work hard in the second half to win this game and taste the first championship in 28 years!
When Wolves were in League One, they thought that their first title in 28 years should be the League One champion. But what they didn't expect was that their soldiers gave them a surprise and actually reached the League Cup final.
With a two-goal lead in the first half, they saw their hopes of winning the Carabao Cup!
It's only a matter of time before they win the League One trophy and with the League Cup just around the corner, they certainly have to applaud their players.
