The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 38 Precision Guidance
  It can also be seen from Martin Jol's tightly furrowed brow on the sidelines that he is somewhat dissatisfied with the Ivorian.

If nothing else, Zocola's chances under the Dutch should be getting fewer and fewer.

Fortunately, this time there was no danger, and Tottenham was not beaten by Manchester City first.

The Lily Legion, which was playing at home, began to launch a counterattack on the spot.

Janus dribbled the ball forward from the center, and Bell received the pass from his teammate on the left and continued to break forward.

Leo moved to the middle at the right time, making space while getting closer to the opponent's penalty area.

Facing Richards' defense, Bell accelerated a second time while dribbling the ball and burst past the Manchester City right back.

After a successful pass, the Welshman passed the curve ball with his left foot. Under Dunn's interference, Berbatov's shot hit too far and was punched out by Manchester City goalkeeper Isaksson!

The ball did not fly out of the dangerous area, and there was chaos in the visiting team's penalty area.

Leo moved forward unnoticed and reached the edge of the penalty area. Without anyone marking him, he saw the right spot and landed the ball firmly on his chest.

There was no time to hesitate. Before Spanish center back Javier Garrido stepped forward, Leo took a step forward and buckled the angle to follow up with a powerful volley!
  Faced with a close-range shot, Isaacson had no time to react. He stood there and watched the ball go into the net!
  One to zero!

Leo's goal helped Tottenham Hotspur, playing at home, take the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field!

This was also the first time Leo scored a goal in a month. The young man happily high-fived and bumped shoulders with his teammates to celebrate the score.

On the visiting team's bench, the young England goalkeeper Joe Hart looked at the Tottenham youngster with a bright smile not far away and couldn't help but feel envious.

"If I were guarding the goal, I wouldn't let them score so easily!"

The Lily Legion obviously would not be satisfied with a one-goal lead. After the game continued, the home team continued to launch an offensive against Manchester City's goal.

In the 11th minute, Berbatov sent a clever direct pass from the front of the penalty area. Darren Bent stepped in front of the small penalty area and shot into the far corner with a single shot, but Isaacson flew to the ground and saved it.

Tottenham made a comeback two minutes later. Berbatov made a pass from the right side of the penalty area. Malbranque's shot in the penalty area was blocked by visiting team defender Dunn.

I don't know if it was affected by external transfer rumors. After the start of today's game, Berba was very active in the frontcourt.

If you keep defending like this, you will have to concede the ball sooner or later, because Manchester City's defense simply cannot stop the Bulgarians with full firepower.

Blue Moon coach Eriksson passed his order to the court and attacked with all his strength!

Only by using offense to create enough threats for Tottenham can the pressure on their defense be relieved.

I have to say that this Swede, who once served as the head coach of the England national team, has something, and his adjustments had immediate effects.

Ireland got rid of Zokola's defense and passed the ball. Etuhu cut into the right side of the penalty area and volleyed his left foot from a small angle and hit the side net.

After Joel Luka's breakthrough from the wing was blocked, the inverted triangle passed back to the center. Michael Johnson's long shot from outside the penalty area was blocked by Kabul.

Then came Manchester City's corner kick. Kabul jumped high and cleared the ball out of the penalty area.

Darren Bent dribbled the ball from the center and the visiting team regained the ball before half-time. Gerson dribbled the ball past Zokola and wanted to continue to get closer to Tottenham's penalty area.

It was Leo who resolved the crisis by running diagonally towards him and delivering a shovel to the ground.

"It's not bad. The defense has improved a lot compared to when I first joined the team."

During this period of time, Tottenham were slightly at a disadvantage, but Leo's performance in defense was also remarkable.

At this time, Leo didn't know that he had won the praise of the coach with his active defense. Instead, bursts of applause from the White Hart Lane stands told him that the fans recognized him.

But in fact Leo also said:

"I was forced to come out. If possible, which offensive player would be willing to participate in defense?"    Manchester City's offense was lively, but they have never been able to truly threaten Tottenham's goal.

Towards the end of the first half, Tottenham got an excellent chance to counterattack!

Without any delay, Leo sent a precise long-distance pass to the frontcourt, and Berbatov passed the defender with a flick of his right foot.

The pass that spanned half the stadium was as easy to catch as a short pass from a few meters away.

Manchester City goalkeeper Isaksson had no choice but to abandon the goal and attack towards Berbatov.

Berbatov knocked his heel, and Janus, who was inserted in the middle, pushed and shot into the empty goal!

Two to zero!
  Before the end of the first half, Tottenham's quick and concise counterattack extended the lead to two points.

In the second half of the game, the two sides fought more intensely in the midfield, and the leading Tottenham did not give up the attack.

Leo passed Etuhu and sent a pass. Berbatov made a sudden arrow from the top of the penalty area and was saved by Isaacson.

Subsequently, Manchester City, which was lagging behind, made substitution adjustments. Eriksen replaced Etuhu with Rolando Bianchi.

However, the Italian striker, who scored 18 goals in Serie A last season, seemed a little acclimated after coming to the Premier League.

Nearly half of the league schedule, Bianchi only scored one goal in the first round. This data cannot be said to be difficult to describe, at least it is quite bad.

So Tottenham's defensive players didn't care about this slow substitute forward at all.

In the 62nd minute, Manchester City got another corner kick opportunity.

The Tottenham players in the penalty area naturally paid more attention to offensive players such as Vassell and Michael.

Manchester City center back Dunn was specially marked, but no one noticed that Bianchi was indeed left open.

Petrov took a left corner kick, and Bianchi, who had just come on as a substitute, nodded the ball into the net!

One to two! Manchester City gets a goal back!
  The score difference is back to one point, with about thirty minutes left in the game, and the result is in suspense again!

Tottenham's players on the field had to cheer up and regroup.

Malblanque broke into the penalty area and passed near the left baseline. Janus's right-footed volley from the arc of the penalty area missed the crossbar of the goal.

In the 75th minute, Dunn fouled Zokola in the frontcourt and the two had an argument. The Manchester City captain was given a yellow card by referee Mark Halsey.

Leo scored the ball and Bell broke through with the ball from the left.

Ireland was about to be thrown away by the Welshman at a faster speed. He was so bold that he tackled Bale from behind.

Leo became anxious when he saw it. This was a dangerous move that could easily lead to injury!
  The referee did not show any mercy and took out the red card and sent Ireland off the field for the flagrant foul. Bell stood up as if he was not injured.

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay! Hiss——"

Bell said it was okay, but it still hurt a lot after a heavy fall.

The opponent was sent off one man, Tottenham beat 11 to 10, and the suspense of this game was basically lost.

In the 83rd minute, Berbatov moved flexibly in the frontcourt to get rid of the defensive players, and Leo passed the ball directly into the gap.

After receiving the ball, Bell's kick from the left was blocked by the Manchester City goalkeeper. Defoe, who came on as a substitute only five minutes later, outflanked and scored in the middle!
