The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 19 Evening
  The hero of the goal took Leo, who gave him a wonderful assist, and ran to the sidelines to celebrate the goal. The excited Tottenham fans in the stands applauded and shouted.

"Okay! Pass it beautifully!"

Berbatov smiled happily, and he reached out and touched Leo's short head.

However, the players of the home team were not happy for long. Just five minutes later, the situation changed again.

The Chelsea midfielder intercepted the ball and counterattacked. Joe Cole got the ball in front of the penalty area and broke away from the defense and then kicked it through. Essien got the ball in the penalty area and smashed the defender's right toe to shoot. Robinson made a mistake in the attack and made a misjudgment and fell to the ground. The ball responded. Enter the network!
  One to one! The score was evened! This is Essien's first league goal this season.

Mourinho's face softened slightly, but Essien was still reliable.

On the surface, Chelsea has had a good start to the season, and it seems that if nothing unexpected happens, they will continue to attack the Champions League under the leadership of the Portuguese.

However, only Mourinho knows best that his life is not easy.

In addition to the daily team training, preparations and many other matters, the disturbances on and off the field are what troubles him the most.

The recent quarrel with club chairman Abramovich and the conflicts with certain players in the team may have an extremely negative impact on the team at any time.

But at least so far, Mourinho is still struggling to maintain it. He still wants to stay at Chelsea for the time being. His career here has not been ultimately successful. Even if he wants to leave, he still wants to wait until he can stay with the Blues. Let’s talk about it after the next Champions League trophy.

But not everyone on the team agrees with him as the head coach, especially after he had a conflict with the club's owner.

For example, Shevchenko, the Ukrainian has been in outstanding form recently. In the European Cup qualifiers before this game, he had scored in two consecutive games.

It stands to reason that he got a chance to start against Tottenham in this game, and he should contribute in the frontcourt and continue to threaten the home team's goal.

But the reality is not like this. Magic Bird hopes that Sheva can make up for Drogba's absence, but his performance is not satisfactory.

Therefore, Mourinho can't help but miss Drogba who is injured and absent at this time. In any case, the Ivorian will do his best for him on the field.

At the end of the first half, Tottenham and Chelsea were temporarily tied at home.

At the beginning of the second half, the visiting team made two substitutions. Malouda and Mikel came on the bench, replacing Phillips and Sidwell.

Mourinho's on-the-spot adjustments have always been timely and decisive.

From the two players he replaced, it is not difficult to see that Chelsea wants to strengthen control of the midfield through substitution adjustments.

There have been no changes to Tottenham's personnel for the time being, but some clues seem to be visible from the position after the opening.

Bell's position was moved forward, and it was naturally impossible for Leo to stay where he was and squeeze with the Welshman. He moved to the center, a bit closer to the midfielder.

Chimbonda and the two central defenders stayed in the backcourt to defend, and Tottenham's formation looked like a slightly weird three-five-two.

This is also the formation that Tottenham has practiced many times recently under the arrangement of Martin Jol!

Today is also the first time he has appeared in an official game.

The purpose of this adjustment is to give full play to Bell's breakthrough ability and turn his speed into a sharp sword for the Lily Army to stab the opponent!
  At the same time, Leo was freed, allowing his imaginative final pass to help the team's two forwards get better and more shooting opportunities.

As for whether the actual effect is as good as the Dutch expected, we can only wait and see.

In the 52nd minute, Chelsea launched an attack from the right.

Mikel crossed the middle, Joe Cole got rid of Tottenham defender Chimbonda's defense and shot a powerful shot in the penalty area!
  The ball went straight into the lower left corner of the goal. Tottenham goalkeeper Robinson stood there motionless like a fool without reacting.

Two to one!

Joe Cole's goal helped Chelsea overtake the score! The die-hard Tottenham fans who were singing the team song to cheer for Lily White were a little discouraged in the stands, but they only paused for a moment and immediately got back on their feet. The home team needs their support most now.

Robbie Keane received a diagonal pass from Berbatov outside the penalty area and formed a single goal opportunity in the penalty area!

Unfortunately, his shot near the penalty spot was miraculously saved by Blues goalkeeper Petr Cech.

In the 66th minute, Joe Cole got rid of two Tottenham defenders on the right side of the penalty area and went straight into the penalty area. Essien shot low from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area, and the ball hit the far post and bounced out.

Leo stood helplessly with his hands on his hips. Essien, who faced him at the beginning of the second half, not only successfully restricted his performance, but actually still had room to shine on the offensive end.

A minute later, Tottenham quickly counterattacked, and Malbranque's attack from the right side of the penalty area missed.

There was back and forth between the two sides, but overall the home team had the upper hand.

In the 71st minute, Darren Bent and Defoe on the sidelines had begun to warm up and were ready to come on as substitutes at any time.

No Tottenham player on the field wanted to be replaced, so they all launched an attack with 120,000 points of strength.

Janus made a direct pass, Berbatov responded, and Leo got the ball outside the penalty area.

Wallace, who was originally guarding the penalty area, saw that no one was marking Leo, so he had no choice but to press out.

"Kid, the Premier League is not a place where you can get away with it. Be careful not to get your legs broken by someone one day."

Is it allowed to trash talk on the football field? Leo looked at the Blues center back in front of him in surprise.

"Are you afraid? You don't have the confidence to deal with me as a young player? Are you trying to put pressure on me in this way?"

Wallace's face paused, and then he showed a ferocious expression.

"Then let me see if your skills are as good as your words!"

Wallace was not able to break the defense, but he seemed to have angered the Chelsea central defender in front of him. Leo shrugged and didn't care. He calculated the distance between himself and the opponent and steadily controlled the ball at his feet. .

"I'm going to pass the ball, let's see if you can stop it!"

After saying that, he swung his right leg as if to pass the ball into the penalty area. Wallace was really fooled. The Chelsea center back spread his legs to expand the defensive range in order to block Leo's pass.

But Leo poked with his right foot, and the ball passed under Wallace's crotch.

Crotch-wearing is awesome! Leo was so bold and dared to make moves at the edge of the opponent's penalty area. He easily completed the breakthrough!
  Upon seeing this, Terry immediately dropped Berbatov. Although the Chelsea captain looked down on Asians from the bottom of his heart, he was not careless at all and carefully stared at Leo who was holding the ball.

Do you really dare to come closer? Leo smiled, and he deceived Terry with another fake move.

Terry was indeed afraid that Leo would pass the ball to Berbatov. After hesitating for a few seconds, he still stayed with Xiaosha.

At this time, Mikel came over to defend and stood in front of Leo.

With a slight lateral move, leaving room for operation, Leo lifted the ball over Mikel's head, and then passed by the Nigerian!
  The rainbow dribble that Leo particularly likes to use makes its first appearance at White Hart Lane!

After passing Mikel, there was no obstruction in front of him, and Leo faced the Chelsea goalkeeper directly before the penalty spot!
  Cech lowered his center of gravity and was ready to pounce on the ball, and Leo kicked the ball without hesitation!

Powerful volley with the right foot!

The ball stuck to the ground like a cannonball and went straight into the dead center at the bottom and top of the goal!
  Two to two! Leo scored the equalizing goal!
