Chapter 44 Seal the victory
  Lily Legion coach Martin Jol also had a smile on his face, and Leo really lived up to his trust.

From November 2004 to the present, this is his fourth year coaching Tottenham.

There have been highlights and there have been crises on the verge of dismissal. In fact, in the Dutch's heart, he has long been ready to leave Tottenham.

When he first met Leo, there had been rumors that Levi wanted to invite Sevilla's Spanish head coach Ramos to coach Tottenham.

So Martin's not very good attitude at that time had a lot to do with his irritable mood at that time.

However, with the beginning of the new season, Leo conquered Martin Jol with his outstanding performance, and gradually gained the opponent's trust.

Now Tottenham's head coach has regarded Leo as his lucky star. If Leo really grows into a world-class superstar one day, then he can be regarded as a supporter, right?

Looking at the seventeen-year-old Leo's performance today, it is not hopeless.

"Damn it, Leo, you can do it. When did you hide such a skill? You're so handsome!"

Of course, what Bell was talking about was Leo's goal celebration of bending his bow and shooting the big eagle just now, which made him a little jealous who only knew how to celebrate.

Leo smiled and said nothing. He himself was quite satisfied with this celebration. This was inspired by his watching The Legend of the Condor Heroes some time ago.

"When you go back, you have to help me think of someone equally domineering!"

"Then you have to give me another assist."

"No problem, just wait!"

Back to the game, the home team, which was lagging behind, stepped up its attack. Regardless of others, Van Persie was still very threatening.

In the 15th minute, Van Persie launched another offensive in the frontcourt. He passed straight to the right. Hoyt made a cross from the right side of the penalty area. Bendtner's header in front of the small penalty area was saved by Czerny.

Two minutes later, Arsenal made a comeback. Robin van Persie dunked the ball over Hoddlestone and passed the ball. Diaby's volley in front of the penalty area missed the goal.

Gareth Bale and Robbie Keane broke into the left rib of the penalty area after kicking against the wall, but Senderos stepped in in time to resolve the danger.

Before being shattered by Didier Drogba, the Swiss central defender became Arsenal's main central defender at the age of 20, and he seemed to be a good prospect at the core of the defense.

The person on the court now is Senderos after his mentality collapsed, but his former talent still seems to be vaguely visible in defense after defense.

It's a pity that the psychological quality is not up to par. The Swiss will never have the chance to reach the height that Wenger and countless Gunners fans expected.

In the 23rd minute, Robin van Persie shot a direct free kick from the right but was saved by Tottenham goalkeeper Cherney.

Senderos blocked Berbatov from fouling on the edge of the penalty area and Tottenham took a free kick from the right.

Bell also chose to shoot directly, but the curved ball missed the far corner of the goal.

Not long after, Berbatov passed forward, and Robbie Keane stopped the ball but was barely blocked by Senderos.

Leo got rid of Diaby's personal marking, and his low shot with his right foot from the sideline of the penalty area slightly missed the left post.

"Sometimes you don't need to be too focused on the angle when shooting. You can use either left or right foot. You can completely change your tricks to hit the goal. As long as you deceive the opponent's goalkeeper and score a goal, it will be very simple."

During the game, Berbatov did not forget to give pointers to Leo. This is all based on the experience of seniors.

Who knows that Leo didn't play as a forward before? It can be said that his scoring ability was basically developed after coming to Tottenham.

Several consecutive threatening shots scored the only goal on the field. Arsenal's defensive players unsurprisingly further strengthened their defense against Leo.

Leo smiled, do they really not know that they are actually better at passing than shooting?
  In the 35th minute, Fabianski made a mistake. Robbie Keane returned from the right and Leo got the ball from the front of the penalty area.

Senderos rushed towards Leo regardless.

Leo pulled and dunked, picking up the ball with his right foot and passing into the penalty area! Berbatov had no defender around him at the back point and easily headed the ball into the net!

Two to zero!
  The away team expanded their lead!

The Bulgarian was also very happy after scoring the goal. He couldn't even remember how many assists Leo had given him.

Tottenham players rallied around Berbatov as the Emirates Stadium fell silent for the second time today.

Falling behind by two goals before the end of the first half was a situation unacceptable to Arsenal fans.

The home team, which fell behind by two goals, continued to organize the attack tenaciously amid the cheers of its supporters.

Gilberto Silva made a long pass, and Van Persie's shot from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area was confiscated by Cherney at the near corner.

In the 35th minute, Diaby's pass and Walcott's shot flew into the stands.

Until the end of the half, Arsenal could not find a way to score. At halftime, the two sides entered the locker room with a score of 2-0.

At the beginning of the second half, Wenger made two substitutions. Sagna and Eduardo da Silva replaced Djolu and Van Persie respectively.

Sagna serves as the right back, while Hoyt moves in and partners with Senderos to guard the center.

It was no surprise that Jolu was replaced in the first half because of his unsatisfactory defensive performance.

But Van Persie was obviously the only bright spot in Arsenal's offensive section in the first half. I don't know why the professor replaced him.

With a two-point advantage in hand, Tottenham tightened its defense and waited for a quick counterattack opportunity.

The adjustments made by Arsenal did not seem to have a particularly good effect. Facing the full defense of Tottenham's home team, they still could not create any good opportunities.

In particular, the two sides fought fiercely in the midfield, and it was difficult for Arsenal to organize a threatening offensive when being pressed.

Denilson made a diagonal pass, and Eduardo's shot from a small angle flew away after he suddenly started on the left side.

Sagna made a breakthrough pass from the right, and Diaby's shot from the center edge of the penalty area was blocked by Dawson regardless of his own safety.

Wenger couldn't sit still anymore. He got up several times and went to the sidelines to shout to "supervise" the players.

In the 80th minute, da Silva made a direct pass. Walcott successfully countered offside and shot a single shot from the edge of the penalty area. Lee Young-pyo fell to the ground and tried to intercept the ball, but the ball hit Walcott's chest and bounced into the goal. , Cherny, who attacked, was helpless.

The speechless Tottenham goalkeeper stood in front of the goal with his hands on his hips, glanced at the embarrassed Korean defender, and sighed softly.

One to two! Arsenal finally got a goal back after unremitting efforts!
  Tottenham also made substitution adjustments subsequently, with Kevin Boateng and Defoe coming off the bench.

The home team was still besieging Bailili's penalty area. Chimbanda stole the ball from Eduardo's feet. After taking the ball, Leo waved to his teammates to rush forward.

Just before halftime, Bell and Defoe sent a long pass.

Senderos and Hoyt tried their best to catch up, but unfortunately their speed was still "slightly" slower than Bell and Defoe.

Fabianski faced two Tottenham offensive players alone in despair!
  Bell tapped his left foot, and Defoe followed up with a stab and scored!

Three to one! Tottenham seals the victory!

The game ended soon after. Tottenham beat Arsenal 3-1 for the third time this season and took the lead in the two rounds of the League Cup semi-finals!
  "You still want me to help you think of a celebration? Now that the assist is gone, can't you just hit the goal yourself?"

"Isn't that why Jermaine is in a better position?"

Faced with Leo's complaints, Beier smiled and scratched his head.
