Tottenham Hotspur successfully defended for nearly half of the game, but Lazio scored at the last moment...
This reality is cruel.
"Miroslav Klose!! Lazio leads Tottenham Hotspur 1:0! They broke the deadlock! This is a very perfect team, they can play quick counterattacks, but they also don't
Afraid of opponents, they will cower and defend! Both Tottenham Hotspur and AC Milan have proven this for Lazio!"
the commentator shouted.
"The lead will let Lazio's supporters breathe a sigh of relief. This way the game will enter the rhythm that Lazio is familiar with. They are good at playing downwind balls after taking the lead. And falling behind is a big problem for Tottenham Hotspur who are based on defensive counterattacks.
Trouble. Do they want to continue to guard it?"
Huge cheers erupted from the stands.
"Klose! Klose!!" Lazio fans chanted the name of the hero of the goal.
Although Gotze's current position in Lazio is very important, the German player who was accepted by the fans the fastest after joining the team was not Mario Gotze. Gotze had been until David Silva was injured.
They are all substitutes, they don't have many opportunities to play, and their performance is average.
Klose was also introduced as a substitute, but he won the love of the fans from the beginning because he scored goals as soon as he arrived!
In the European Super Cup, his goal helped Lazio win the championship.
Since then, goals have often been scored.
As a striker, nothing is more convincing than scoring goals.
After scoring the goal, Klose celebrated with a somersault in excitement!
This action frightened Chang Sheng on the sidelines.
He was afraid that Klose would be exhausted in the middle of his somersault, and then fall from the air. That would be the end...
Klose rarely uses this very dangerous celebration now that he is older. When he was young, this was his signature celebration.
However, he was very happy to be able to score in the Champions League, so he had such a celebration.
In the previous two Champions League games, although he played, he did not score.
His goals have come in both the league and the Super Cup.
Now he has also broken his goal drought in the Champions League.
After joining Lazio, he felt like a fish in water, which made him grateful for his original choice.
Unlike Ballack, while Ballack was still doubting whether he was right to come to Lazio, Klose had already scored consecutive goals in Lazio.
As an all-around forward, he integrated into the team's tactical system faster than people imagined.
※ ※ ※
Seeing Klose's beautiful shot of the football into the goal, Chang Sheng stood up and clapped his hands.
And everyone around him was cheering for Klose's goal.
Leading Tottenham Hotspur, this game is much easier to play.
The only pity is that the goal came a little late. The first half will be over soon, which gives Tottenham Hotspur a chance to breathe. If this goal happened in the 20th minute, then the next
Lazio's stormy offensive attack will definitely make Tottenham Hotspur completely breathless, and it will not be difficult to score another goal.
Now, Lazio has to interrupt this state and enter the halftime break. And Tottenham Hotspur can also use the halftime break to make adjustments.
But this is much better than not scoring a goal. So I am satisfied with winning often.
※ ※ ※
Not long after Lazio scored, the first half ended.
When he came off the field, Klose was given a close-up shot by the TV broadcast. He was the hero who scored a goal for Lazio in the first half, so he naturally attracted much attention.
In addition, on Tottenham Hotspur's side, their star player Gareth Bale also gave a close-up shot.
Compared with Klose, who was smiling, Bell lowered his head and looked a little depressed.
Except for his beautiful breakthrough at the beginning of the game, he had almost no decent performance in the first half. Of course, this is not to say that his personal condition is not good, but because of the team's tactical adjustments.
If Redknapp insists on attacking Lazio, it is conceivable that Bale will have many outstanding performances. But it is also conceivable that Tottenham Hotspur will definitely be completely defeated by Lazio...
Therefore, Bell's personal interests were sacrificed for the overall interests of the team.
※ ※ ※
During the halftime break, Chang Sheng affirmed the performance of the players in the first half and told them that if Tottenham Hotspur still insists on counterattacking in the second half, then Lazio will continue to play like this.
If Tottenham Hotspur wants to press out and attack Lazio, then they will also let go.
Of course, if you want to win often, you want Tottenham to come out and attack.
It's just that he doesn't think Redknapp is such an idiot...
Sure enough, in the Tottenham Hotspur dressing room, head coach Redknapp was comforting the players.
"It's not a big deal to concede a goal. You have to know who our opponent is. Their ability to win the Triple Crown depends not only on luck. So in the first half, we didn't concede a goal until the last moment, which is already very good."
Redknapp's idea was to continue the defensive counterattack in the second half and did not intend to adjust the overall tactical direction.
But he needs to adjust specific defensive tactics.
Judging from the goal conceded in the first half, the disadvantage of zone defense not being able to mark people gave Lazio a chance to score.
He thought that it was impossible for a book reviewer with a winning streak not to know this, so he would definitely ask the team to continue attacking on this point in the second half.
If Tottenham Hotspur does not adjust and change, they will just wait to concede more goals!
In the second half, Redknapp planned to change the defense from zone defense to zone defense plus man-to-man marking.
This not only continued the defensive thinking of the first half, but also ensured to the greatest extent that they would not miss anyone in defense.
In addition, Redknapp also fully considered the need for counterattack.
If given the chance, should we fight back?
Definitely want it.
Who would want to lose when there is a chance to tie or win? Even if you only lose one goal, it is still a loss...
So how to fight back?
Redknapp gives Bale a face-to-face interview.
In the second half, if there is a chance to counterattack, it will be Bell's performance time.
Judging from the first half, after Lazio pressed forward to attack, there were still four defensive players left behind.
But they still have a lot of space in the second half. For Bell, this is enough for him to perform.
Redknapp believes in Bale's ability to complete the two tasks of attacking and scoring goals in a counterattack by himself.
Bell was quite happy with this arrangement.
No matter what in the second half, he still had a chance to show his abilities.
※ ※ ※
In the second half, neither side made any substitutions, so the game changed sides and played again.
Lazio still besieged Tottenham Hotspur's penalty area, and Tottenham Hotspur continued to shrink its defense.
It looks the same as the first half.
Only Bell knows the difference.
Because only one of him, or two, are needed in the counterattack. Tottenham Hotspur does not need to invest too many troops, which actually gives Tottenham Hotspur more opportunities to counterattack.
Even if the opportunity is not good and the ball is lost midway, it will not affect Tottenham Hotspur's defense.
So Bale started to advance forward.
His teammates also cooperated with him, instead of kicking out of the sideline at the end. Or they drove forward blindly and handed the football to Lazio's defenders, such as passing the football to Bell and letting Bell use his speed to harass Lazio's defenders.
Line of defense.
Soon, everyone discovered Tottenham Hotspur's adjustment.
Their counterattacks increased, and although the chances were not particularly good... they were finally able to attack.
And there are more opportunities for Bell to have his name read by the commentator.
Their counterattack mode is basically that after Bale catches the ball, he pushes the football forward ten meters away. Then he accelerates and speeds up, relying on his own speed to forcefully overtake and throw away Lazio's defenders!
"Gareth Bale——!" When the British Sky TV commentator exclaimed, you knew Bale was here again!
When his teammates passed the football to him, he didn't stop, but just pushed the football forward, and the football went between the legs of Gotze who was guarding him.
Bale then accelerated around Gotze.
Gotze turned around and chased after him.
The German "Super Mario" is also very fast. It's just not impressive compared to Bell!
After Bell rushed up with the ball, it was like a high-speed train.
Anyone who stands in front of him will be knocked away!
After Gotze was thrown away, Ledesma caught up with him diagonally, intending to force Bell to stop.
But Bell once again moved the football ten meters away, and then accelerated again!
Rushed past Ledesma!
Ledesma actually knew that he could not catch up with Bell at his speed, so he reached out in advance to catch Bell.
In the end, it was a little late, and he watched Bell pass by his hand like a gust of wind.
"Gareth Bale——!" the England commentator shouted excitedly. "Beautiful! Two people in a row! Triple Crown champion Lazio looked embarrassed in front of him!"
The few Tottenham Hotspur fans who watched Taishan also cheered. Although they were quickly suppressed by the boos of the Lazio fans, this did not hinder their good mood.

Chang Sheng saw this scene on the sidelines and stood up from his seat in shock.
He suddenly thought of the game in his memory...
Then he cursed in his heart: "Damn it! Isn't it? You have changed the team and you still have to play like this?!"
What he was thinking of was the one where Bale dribbled the ball all the way from the left, passed the entire Inter Milan defense, blasted Zanetti and Maicon, and then shot the football from Samuel into the goal guarded by Cesar.
ball.
Throughout the whole process, none of the players from Inter Milan, the Triple Crown winner, was able to touch football!
You must know that Inter Milan's defense line at that time was full of stars. Lucio, Samuel, Maicon, Zanetti, and Cesar were all world-class players.
In the end, he was completely blown away by Bell...
Chang Sheng felt his scalp go numb when he thought that this might happen to his team.
※ ※ ※
Seeing Bell pass two people on his side, Azpilicueta also felt that the situation was not good. He fought and retreated, intending to shorten Bell's sprint space.
This approach was correct, but Bell's speed still exceeded his imagination...
Before he could retreat to a suitable position, Bell had already rushed forward with the football.
Then he once again used the method of speeding up the ball and got rid of Azpilicueta.
Azpilicueta tried to turn around, but his feet slipped and he fell directly to the ground.
It looked like Bell passed him by, and then he fell to the ground, as if he had been stabbed through by the dagger in Bell's hand...
I saw that Lazio's defense was penetrated by Bale in one go!
The Lazio fans in the stands were in an uproar!

During the double monthly pass period, please don’t bother me asking for monthly passes, because this is really the final battle!
