Volume 1 Chapter 463 Self-Redemption

"Penalty Kick Penalty Kick"

"Red card, red card, red card"

The White Hart Lane stadium was filled with cries from the fans in the stands as they felt it was an unmistakable penalty because Messi had already broken through Carvalho and the Portuguese dragged him down from behind, which was definitely a deliberate tactical foul, not just to give a penalty, but also to give a red card.

The pressure of more than 30,000 Tottenham Hotspur fans in unison made the entire White Hart Lane stadium completely turbulent, which is the home advantage and a test for the referee to grasp the scale of the game.

"We can clearly see from the slow-motion replay that this is indeed a deliberate tactical foul, Messi has broken through Carvalho, the Portuguese pulled Messi down, the penalty is beyond doubt, the key is whether the referee will give a red card"

The commentator of the live broadcast was also not too sure about the referee's scale, because considering that this is a two-legged knockout match, if Carvalho is sent off now, then Chelsea's second leg will hardly be played again, and the death sentence will be pronounced.

So there will be a lot of referees who take this into account when enforcing the law, after all, now Tottenham Hotspur has 0 lead, and then get a penalty, that is, 0 If a red card is given at this time, it is indeed a complete loss of suspense in the second leg, so the referee may give a yellow card.

It's a bit unfair to Tottenham Hotspur in terms of enforcement, but you've won so much that there's no need to cling to a red card, do you? Others should be given a way to live

However, the Tottenham fans in the stadium clearly did not think so, and for the past two years, Chelsea have regarded Tottenham Hotspur as mortal enemies, especially after their worst defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the last round of last season, which caused the two teams to completely form a hate.

Tottenham Hotspur's most hated team must be Arsenal in terms of hatred, but Chelsea are certainly in second place, slightly inferior to Arsenal, but they are also mortal enemies, especially after the poaching of Ledley King, Arneson and Allen Lennon, Tottenham Hotspur fans simply hate Chelsea.

With such a layer of hatred of sworn enemies, of course, the fans will not show mercy to the opponent's subordinates, so they keep shouting in the stands, using their own momentum to put pressure on the referee, but may feel the overwhelming fan voice on the scene, the referee hesitated for a moment, and finally took out the red card

"Wow, hooray" Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stands burst into cheers.

"The penalty and red card referee sentenced Carvalho to death, this is a very harsh enforcement, Carvalho pulled Messi down from behind, and he is the team's last defender, it is a tactical foul, penalty and red card, he is not wronged at all, but for Chelsea, it is a bit of a pity."

With the cheers of the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the whole stadium, Tottenham Hotspur also began to discuss the penalty kick, as the team's front trident, Ribery and Van Persie both scored, and this penalty was created by Messi, so of course Messi took the penalty, Ribery and Van Persie are not in dispute

Messi thought about it for a moment, then turned and stuffed the penalty kick into his own hand by his team-mate, and turned and stuffed it to Beckham.

"David, come here on this penalty, find the feeling" Messi said generously.

It was a goal in the Champions League semi-final, not to mention that he could make a name for himself after scoring a penalty, even if it was just to go to the penalty spot, which is a good thing that any professional player can only dream of, but now he just let it out.

Beckham was also a little surprised by this, and shook his head, "It's better for you to go." ”

But Messi didn't take it, but walked away, "Don't worry, we're 0 ahead now, don't be pressured."

Teammates also know Messi's intentions, when Beckham was in the past, their group of attacking players have benefited from Beckham's passing, and now that Beckham is back from injury, they also want to give the Englishman something in return and help him regain his form as soon as possible.

"Yes, David, don't be pressured, come on" Ribery also walked past Beckham, patted him on the shoulder, encouraged, and then smiled and walked outside the box to wait for the penalty.

"You can, David" Van Persie also walked over to encourage him.

Cesc Fabregas made a fist-clenching gesture as he passed Beckham and walked over shortly after that.

One by one, his teammates passed by Beckham's side, but they were all encouraging the Englishman, which moved the Tottenham fans in the stands, because Beckham is not only a superstar in England, but also a superstar in Tottenham, but also a star in London.

In the past year, Beckham has conquered all Tottenham Hotspur fans with his outstanding performances, and he has always been regarded as the humerus minister of Tottenham Hotspur's revival, his own man

Anyone will be more tolerant and generous to their own people

"David, come on, you can do it"

"We believe in you, David, to die them"

The shouts of the fans in the stands moved Beckham a little, turned his head sideways, looked at Ye Qiu, and the Chinese standing on the sidelines nodded to him, and took the lead in applauding, expressing their trust and support for him.

The applause quickly spread and gradually spread throughout the White Hart Lane stadium.

In a thunderous round of applause, Beckham gently placed the ball on the penalty spot, slowly stepped back and closed his eyes.

It's been a long time since he's taken a penalty, it's been years, right?

It was a time to look back on, having missed a penalty in Euro 2003 qualifying, which nearly cost England a place in the finals, and in Euro 04 in the group stage, he missed another penalty that resulted in England losing to France.

But the most painful memory is in the quarter-finals of Euro 04, when he missed a penalty at the most crucial time, which led to England's loss to Portugal in the penalty shootout and stopped in the quarter-finals, which made him under huge public pressure after the game, and even after that, Real Madrid's successive managers did not trust him in the penalty take-off.

'For David Beckham, it was a penalty to redeem itself'

The commentator at White Hart Lane is over 50 years old, has a lot of experience in watching and commentating, and knows very well what happened to David Beckham four years ago, so it is also a little apprehensive to see him take the penalty now

"We should believe him, all the Tottenham fans"

The scene was suddenly much quieter, and with the referee's whistle, Beckham rushed forward quickly without hesitation, and ushered in the ball placed on the penalty spot with his right foot, which was directly a push.

This push was very hard, but the angle was very positive, directly pushing the middle, without the slightest trick, but Cudicini chose to pounce on the right side, which directly caused the ball to crash into the goal line, and the Italian goalkeeper regretted that he kept hammering the turf over there, full of remorse

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Beckham did not celebrate after the penalty, but fell to his knees in the Chelsea penalty area, his hands clenched into fists, full of excitement, and his team-mates behind him, who were originally about to rush into the box and make a follow-up shot, now turned into rushing towards Beckham to celebrate his goal in the first game since his return.

Tottenham Hotspur players gathered in the Chelsea penalty area to encircle David Beckham, and the stadium erupted in cheers for Beckham's penalty.

'0 Chelsea have been sentenced to death'

Despite Grant's reluctance, he had no way to change the situation, so when Carvalho came off the field, he had to choose to shrink the defense, so he could only continue to replace the defender, but he finally managed to keep the score of 03 to the bottom of the line, and finally suffered another defeat at White Hart Lane.

If the defeat in January can be said to be the reason for the team's lack of major generals, then now in the Champions League semi-finals, he can no longer find any reason or excuse for losing such a complete defeat again.

Just as at the post-match press conference, a sharp-tongued reporter asked Grant bluntly whether he lacked the minimum confidence and desire to win the White Hart Lane Stadium because of his poor record with Ye Qiu in the past, so Chelsea only wanted to keep the draw from beginning to end of this game?

Grant's argument was lackluster, as he said he didn't feel Chelsea lacked the desire to win, and there were a lot of objective factors to lose away, the most important of which was that Tottenham Hotspur did perform well and deserved a win.

However, Grant did not give a positive answer to the question of what kind of line-up and starting tactics would adopt such a negative tactical play, but only said that any team that encounters Tottenham Hotspur will think about defense first.

Grant may have many flaws and shortcomings, but there is one thing that must be admitted, and that is his demeanor.

Even in the face of a thousand difficulties from reporters, and even some reporters used a sarcastic tone to talk about how to curb Tottenham Hotspur's attack in front of reporters, but in the end, when his team lost miserably again and again, he faced such irony with a stiff smile expression.

At this point, at least Ye Qiu felt that he couldn't do it.

The team defeated Chelsea at home 0, which led to Carvalho being sent off with a red card, Tottenham Hotspur can be said to have stepped into the Champions League final with one foot, Ye Qiu was in a good mood, and his evaluation of Chelsea was also relatively good, and even took the initiative to defend Grant, but he said that he was not careless at all for the second leg of the game.

In the Champions League, winning four goals may not be a sure win, not to mention Tottenham Hotspur are now only winning by three goals?

Compared to Tottenham Hotspur's big win over Chelsea at home, Manchester United played Barcelona away from home, but the two sides played 00 Barcelona and failed to break through Manchester United's defense, Vidic and Ferdinand's central defensive combination has become very solid this season, plus Carrick and Scholes in the midfield, Manchester United's overall strength is very good.

However, there are pros and cons to everything, with Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United both having a definite advantage in the Champions League semi-finals, but they were also sniped by strong opponents in the 36th round of the Premier League three days later

Grant's side returned to Stamford Bridge to beat Manchester United, who had just returned from Spain, while Tottenham Hotspur drew with Rafael Benitez's Liverpool at their home turf.

Damn the Spanish Fat Man is still Ye Qiu's biggest headache, although Tottenham Hotspur is still the opener in this game, but in the second half, Liverpool took advantage of Tottenham Hotspur's fatigue for a long time, and took the opportunity to counterattack, Torres scored an equalizing goal for the Reds, directly causing a draw.

Seeing what should have been supposed to be a perfect opportunity to reverse Manchester United to reach the top of the Premier League standings pass in front of him, Ye Qiu almost didn't tear this fat man to pieces, especially when he saw the rare smile of the fat man, it was so annoying.

"Do you know what I'm thinking now?" The two stood outside the players' tunnel, Ye Qiu looked at Benitez, who had always been stingy with a smile, and looked in a good mood, his mouth opened an arc, and he couldn't say how disgusting.

Benitez shook his head and smiled, "I don't want to know the way"

Ye Qiu nodded, "You deserve not to be in the Champions League qualification area, don't let me seize the opportunity, otherwise I will definitely trample you to death"

After Benitez listened, his face was also a little stiff, because Arsenal won this round, and it was a big win, the opponent was Derby County, so that with two rounds left in the league, Liverpool drew in this round, and it was more and more difficult to surpass Arsenal.

"Congratulations, Mr. Rafal Benitez, you should do your best to compete for the League Cup next season, please do your best, you must win the championship, at the very least, it will be a cup championship, right?" Ye Qiu purely wanted to disgust this Spanish fat man.

He even felt that Benitez was his nightmare, and every time at a critical moment, this fat man would come out to block him.

This person, it's all like this, when he blocks others, he gloarts, and when others block himself, he is so angry in his heart that he can't wait to vomit three liters of blood.

Missing the great opportunity to reverse Manchester United, Ye Qiu also has a feeling that it is unlikely to reverse Manchester United this season, and the next two opponents of Manchester United are at home against West Ham United and away against Wigan, while Tottenham Hotspur's opponents are away against Reading and at home against Bolton.

Judging from the schedule, Manchester United is not very likely to make mistakes, because whether it is West Ham United or Wigan, it is obvious that there is no pursuit, and these two teams are currently ranked around ten in the standings.

Tottenham Hotspur's two opponents are different, with Reading currently in 18th place and Bolton in 17th, with both teams battling relegation, so the next two games will have to be at their best.

Everyone knows that a relegation team is even harder than any team, especially when it comes to survival, and they will do everything in their power to beat you and do everything they can to defeat you.

But no matter what, Ye Qiu still kept calling on the players to maintain confidence, because he believed that Manchester United would still make mistakes.

Aware that the weekend was not a good game, Ye Qiu made the appropriate rotation for the midweek away game against Chelsea, with Arshavin, Gareth Bale, Yaya Toure, Lucas and Arbeloa all starting, but the team were not conservative at Stamford Bridge.

Won 0 in the first round, Tottenham Hotspur has enough chips for Chelsea to press out and play, and then play the opponent's counterattack, which is also the outside world's prediction of Tottenham Hotspur's tactics, and in fact, Ye Qiu's tactical arrangement is indeed focused on defense, arranging Yaya Toure and Lucas, two major midfield defenders, to start at the same time, and the wings are also on the fullback combination of Arbeloa and Alves.

However, Tottenham Hotspur's start was still a big attack, taking advantage of the impact of Carvalho's red card absence, disrupting Chelsea's defense by rushing to attack, and successfully scored in the 7th minute by left winger Gareth Bale, and finally, Tottenham Hotspur relied on Arshavin's pass and shot to successfully beat Chelsea 0 away.

0 on aggregate Tottenham Hotspur reached the Champions League final with an excellent result of beating Chelsea over two legs, which could not help but amaze all fans in the world, because Chelsea is not weak at all in everyone's impression, but it is indeed surprising that Tottenham Hotspur beat their opponents by such a huge margin.

In the other game, Manchester United defeated Barcelona 0 at home with Scholes' goal and met Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League final.

Relying on the excellent performance since the knockout round, Tottenham Hotspur has finally caught up with Manchester United in the odds of major bookmakers, and the two teams are neck and neck, but there are still many people who are more optimistic about Manchester United, because Ferguson's team is obviously more experienced in the Champions League and more mature.

But there are also many people who feel that Ye Qiu has two Champions League in hand, and his experience can help Tottenham Hotspur's young players overcome the problem of lack of experience, and Tottenham Hotspur's attacking football is more pleasing to fans.

However, there is an inescapable fact that in this season's Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur's record against Manchester United is two consecutive defeats, which undoubtedly casts a shadow on Tottenham Hotspur's Champions League prospects, because at least, from the psychological level, Tottenham Hotspur lost to Manchester United.

Don't underestimate this kind of psychological confidence, at least in the Champions League semifinals, Grant made a mistake in the first leg of the lineup, which was caused by his lack of confidence and lack of sufficient self-confidence.

After the Champions League semi-finals, the Premier League of the 078 season has also begun to usher in the final showdown, and the last two rounds will determine the champion, after all, Tottenham Hotspur has only been two points behind Manchester United so far.

In Ye Qiu's words, try your best to catch up with Manchester United and wait for them to make mistakes
