Chapter 32 A big win over Wigan
  After the game, Leo's incident also caused a small disturbance in the UK.

In any case, he is also a popular new star of Tottenham now. When he encountered racial discrimination, and the media rushed to report it, there was no way he could not avoid attracting the attention of the Football Association.

Because no matter what the British think in their minds, at least on the surface they cannot be seen to be so despicable and shameless.

And Leo handled it very smartly. He did not target Newcastle and all their fans, which meant that the matter would not be left alone so easily.

Regardless of whether the Newcastle club was sincere or not, they publicly apologized to Leo as soon as possible.

The obese middle-aged man was quickly found out. This die-hard fan who was a Newcastle member and had a season ticket was banned from entering the stadium to watch the game for life.

I don’t know if he regretted his stupid move before the game started.

Correspondingly, because Leo shut up during the game, more people understood that this young man with a temper was not someone to be trifled with.

Three days after the last game against Newcastle, Tottenham sat at home and ushered in the first round of the UEFA Cup group stage.

The head coach believed that double matches a week was not something Leo could bear now, so Martin Jol used a rotating lineup to play.

In the end, the Lily Legion lost 1 to 2 to Getafe, which cast a shadow over their qualifying situation.

Next, Tottenham lost to Blackburn Rovers 1-2 in the league and drew 1-1 with Middlesbrough. Their record, which had finally improved, took a turn for the worse again.

Although Li Ao played hard on the field and trained hard off the field, it was really difficult for him to stop the team's decline by himself.

Leo, who had been closely monitored and treated by his opponents in several games, was unable to continue his outstanding performance.

After the 12th round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur is only ranked tenth at the bottom of the top half.

Martin Yoel was also very anxious at the moment and was on the verge of dismissing get out of class again.

"It's time to bottom out and bounce back. We need a big win to boost our morale!"

On November 2007, 11, before the start of the game between Tottenham and Wigan Athletic, the Dutchman was conducting final pre-war mobilization for the team.

Facing an opponent like Wigan who is in the relegation zone at White Hart Lane, what the Dutch expected was a hearty victory.

Berbatov, who was affected by transfer rumors some time ago, finally recovered his form and returned to the starting lineup.

In the last UEFA Cup game against Tel Aviv Workers, although Brother Xiaosha failed to score, he still helped his teammates create scoring opportunities by pulling and running in the frontcourt.

Leo still started at the left midfielder position today. With the hard training, his personal strength rating finally broke through again to B+.

It should be difficult for his strength to be greatly improved in a short period of time.

Leo feels in good condition today, and he also wants to see what kind of performance he can achieve in the Premier League.

After the game started, Tottenham Hotspur, who were dominant and playing at home, had the upper hand, and Wigan Athletic had little power to fight back.

No wonder they are deep in the relegation zone, their hard power is really lacking.

The Lily Legion firmly controlled the ball, and Wigan Athletic did not even have a decent attack in front of the opponent's penalty area.

With almost no defensive pressure, Tottenham's entire team pressed forward to attack, and Leo also recovered the center in a timely manner, leaving room for Bell to break forward.

In the 13th minute, Gareth Bale quickly dribbled the ball along the sideline from the left and simply passed the ball forward. Bale's speed increased again and he instantly got rid of Wigan's defender.

The visiting team's right back Melziot was not willing to be broken through by the Welshman so easily and was still chasing after him.

Bell suddenly stopped and turned while dribbling the ball at high speed, completely throwing Melziot away. After seeing Leo's position clearly, he immediately passed back in an inverted triangle.

Leo stopped the ball firmly at his feet, passed the visiting team's central defender Bramble, and then dunked to the right to widen the angle and shoot low with his right foot from the sideline of the penalty area!
  Tottenham scored first! One to zero!
  Leo curled his lips, this goal was too easy, and this shot was not exciting at all, it was too ordinary.

Five minutes later, Leo and Bale broke through Wigan's defense with a one-two on the left. Controlling the ball near the corner of the penalty area, Leo waited for Bell to break into the penalty area. Facing Melziot's defense, he turned around with an elegant pull ball and passed the opponent, and then passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area!

Being teased by two Tottenham teenagers one after another, the 31-year-old Dutch veteran was filled with anger. Melziot ferociously tackled Gareth Bale in the penalty area who was about to shoot!

Referee Howard Webber blew the whistle in time, and it was undoubtedly a penalty!

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay!" Bell gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground. "Did you give a penalty kick?"

"Judgment, but the referee did not play the card."

Bale took two steps with Leo's support and felt that there was nothing serious. Just as he was about to enter the court, the Tottenham team doctor sat back down.

"Just give it a penalty."

Bell and Leo withdrew from the penalty area, and the penalty kick was handed over to the team's top penalty kicker Robbie Keane.

The Irishman was completely undisturbed by Wigan Athletic goalkeeper Kirkland and calmly shot into the lower right corner of the goal!

Two to zero! Robbie Keane scored from the penalty spot to help Tottenham expand their lead!

This was not over yet. In the 26th minute of the first half, Berbatov got the ball in the frontcourt.

Brother Xiaosha advanced with the ball from the middle, but the two defensive players failed to steal the ball from his feet.

"Dimita, here!"

Hearing Leo's voice asking for the ball, Beba didn't even have to look back. He tapped his heel lightly and the ball was sent to Leo!
  At almost the same position where he scored the first goal, Leo received a pass from his teammate.

Glancing at the position of the defensive players in the penalty area, Leo smiled. He stepped forward and hit the ball hard with his right foot!

Repeating his old tricks, Leo scored with a low shot from the sideline of the penalty area with his right foot for the second time in this game!

Scored twice! This is the first time in Leo's career that he has scored two goals in a single game!
  And what's interesting is that the two goals are exactly the same, both in the location and the way they are shot.

Entered again? Leo didn't expect that he would score another goal so easily.

So much so that during the celebration, Berbatov pulled him all the way to the corner flag area.

"Well done! Leo, what medicine did you take today?!"

"I didn't expect it would be so easy to score today..."

Leo's whisper was drowned out by the cheers of Tottenham fans in the audience. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether these envious teammates would give him a slap on the head if they heard it.

The first half is not over yet, Tottenham already leads 3-0, and Wigan Athletic has not even had a shot on goal.

The home team's supporters in the stands at White Hart Lane had already begun to celebrate the victory in advance.

In fact, the game can indeed be declared over at this time, and the players on the away team have given up resistance.

In the 71st minute, Darren Bent came on to replace Robbie Keane.

Five minutes later, Leo made a cross from the outside of the left side of the penalty area.

The ball passed over the heads of two defensive players and landed in front of Bent. The English shooter was on the right side of the penalty area and volleyed into the net with his right foot!

Four to zero! Tottenham has completely sealed the victory!
