Tottenham Hotspur is confident about the long-term plan proposed by Ye Qiu in the coaching team to return to the peak of Europe after three years of adjustment. This is not only because the team's management is getting better and better, but more importantly, there is a group of outstanding stars within the team.

It was as if after two weeks of national team matches, the eighth round of the Premier League rekindled. Tottenham Hotspur challenged Fulham away on the afternoon of October 16. In this game, Ye Qiu did not arrange for players such as David Silva to play all the games in the national team matches, and the center in the frontcourt also arranged for Raul to start instead of Cavani.

However, Messi and Ribery all started, because this time they all returned to the team early, and Ye Qiu had negotiated with Argentina and France's national teams before, so he was very comfortable with several players in the team.

This round is the grave of a strong team. After two weeks of absent-off period of the national team game, the team's condition and rhythm were disrupted. Therefore, Manchester United, West Ham United and Chelsea have all encountered draws one after another, which makes many people worry, and don't know if Tottenham Hotspur will also be like teams such as Manchester United.

But Ye Qiu made it clear before this game that he was satisfied with the team's current state.

Tottenham Hotspur's rotation in this game is not small. The goalkeeper is Cech, the defense is Alba, Kompany, Thiago Silva and Kyle Walker, the midfield is Coutinho, Yaya, Toure and Fabregas, and the front tridents are Ribery, Raul and Messi.

At the Craven Farm Stadium, when referee Mike Dean had just blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, Tottenham Hotspur's frontcourt kicked the ball to Messi in the middle circle. Messi passed it back to Yaya or Toure in the midfield, and the latter knocked back to Kompany on the defense. The whole process was exactly the same as all the past games.

Fulham's players quickly penetrated into Tottenham Hotspur's team and prepared to put pressure on Tottenham Hotspur as soon as possible, preferably making it difficult for North London teams to form a fierce offensive as soon as possible. After all, Tottenham's offense is a nightmare for all opponents.

Many people recommend Chelsea's offense, but in fact Chelsea's offense relies heavily on Drogba, but Tottenham Hotspur's offense is different. This team has many offensive points and rich offensive routines. Whether it is ground balls or set pieces, they have enough means to score goals. This team's offense is even more difficult to defend than Chelsea.

The ball fell to Kompany's feet and passed it to Coutinho, who pulled back to the left to get the ball. It took about twenty seconds.

I believe that at this moment, Fulham players must be still adjusting their rhythm and guessing when, from what angle, and how to attack.

But at this moment, Coutinho suddenly passed a short, low flat ball, and saw the ball at a very fast speed, almost sticking to the ground, with a slight arc, crossing the large field and flying directly to Ribery who was pulling to the left.

Fulham's Northern Ireland right-back Byld reacted, but it was impossible to get close to Ribery, so he quickly made a scissors and kick-off move, hoping to use his legs to intercept Coutinho's straight pass, but his foot did touch the ball, but he just wiped it lightly, and even the direction of the ball could not be changed.

It was indeed an adventure for Coutinho, but it worked so it was very beautiful.

Ribery rushed to the front, quickly wades the ball and penetrates into the penalty area. At this time, both Fulham's central defenders had quickly returned to the penalty area to land. Ribery saw that the angle of his kicking was blocked, so he chose to stop the ball and knock the ball across from the opponent's central defender to the middle.

Raul's speed is slower than Ribery, but this slowness is reflected in the court, which is only a second or two at best. So when Ribery's pass comes to the middle of the penalty area, Raul is already in place, but in front of him is Fulham goalkeeper Schwarzer who has opened his arms and is ready. There are defensive players around him, so he seems to have only one choice, that is, to barely take a kick, and this shot will definitely be obtained by Fulham defenders and goalkeepers.

Fulham's defensive players seem to see this prospect, so they are all waiting for Raul to kick.

But just when they thought Raul would force his feet, they saw Raul suddenly crossing the ball, knocking the ball behind him with his left heel, while he did not stop speed and rushed forward, directly blocking the sight and movement direction of goalkeeper Schwarzer and the opponent's two defenders with his body.

In this case, Schwarzer could not see the situation behind Raul, and the two Fulham defenders could not pounce in time and effectively. Even now, they had not had time to figure out how Raul discovered that there was Messi behind him, and how did he guarantee that Messi would appear?

Perhaps this is a secret belonging to Raul, but Messi appears in the deadliest place at its best.

Raul's heel came to Messi. The Argentine stopped to his left side, took a step forward, and directly shot a clever shot with his left foot, directed to the left side of the goal. The ball almost deviated from the track Messi had planned at all, and hit the goal against the post.

Messi excitedly raised his left hand and rushed towards Raul immediately, while Ribery, Coutinho, Fabregas and others rushed up immediately, and they celebrated directly in Fulham's penalty area.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL”

Andy Grey exclaimed excitedly because the goal came too quickly and suddenly

"The game has just started less than forty seconds. Oh my god, less than a minute, Tottenham Hotspur took the lead and broke the goal of Fulham first. This is undoubtedly a blow to the head for the home team Fulham. It's too surprising. They will be very, very difficult to play in this game. After all, they lost the ball less than a minute into the game, which is too bad for morale."

The goal just now was played repeatedly on the live TV and the big screen of the stadium. Judging from the slow-motion replay, Messi and Raul had obviously interacted with each other before. When Coutinho passed the ball, Raul was even ahead, so he rushed to the front, while Messi deliberately slowed down because he expected that if Ribery didn't kick himself, he would definitely pass across the road, so he had to form an attack depth with the two teammates in front of him. If he rushed forward, he would squeeze into his own people.

As it turns out, Messi's decision was correct. Ribery's cross, Fulham's defensive players also obviously expected it, but what they didn't expect was that Raul would choose to knock back on the heel, which was a very beautiful assist.

Many people must think of Raul's best friend Guti when they mention his heels, but what they never thought of is that Raul had many heel assists and even goals in his career, and this was just one of them.

As Andy Grey said, conceding the ball just after the opening, this undoubtedly fell into a very embarrassing passive situation for the home team Fulham, especially for Mark Hughes, who has been back on duty this season, he has always wanted to prove himself again in Fulham, and at the same time told everyone that Manchester City's failure was not because of his ability.

The start of Fulham this season gives people the impression that there are too many draws. They have won six draws in the previous seven rounds, one victory, so Mark Hughes can proudly say that his Fulham remains unbeaten in the league. This is the only team that remains unbeaten in the Premier League this season except Tottenham and Manchester United, which also gives Mark Hughes the confidence to use his home advantage to challenge Tottenham Hotspur.

But what I didn't expect was that Tottenham Hotspur gave Mark Hughes a blow as soon as he came up, which made the Englishman very angry and dissatisfied. This is Craven Farm Stadium, not Tottenham Hotspur's White Deer Lane

So, after seeing the ball concealed, Mark Hughes walked to the sidelines and shouted at the players on the court, "Don't let them walk out of this stadium alive."

"Give me an attack, keep attacking"

Mark Hughes, who was wearing a suit and tie, obviously lost his original demeanor. He could not accept such a loss, so he had to regain his face and continue to win the confidence of Fulham fans, which required a goal.

After Tottenham scored the first goal, he was not in a hurry, especially after seeing Fulham take the initiative to attack, Tottenham Hotspur's group of players was very experienced and began to consciously pull Fulham out.

"Mark Hughes should be calm, especially the players on the court. Don't be too aggressive. They encountered Tottenham Hotspur in this game, the team with the strongest attack power in Europe." Andy Grey said with some concern for Fulham.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Tottenham Hotspur counterattack again with a long pass from the backcourt. Thiago Silva passed the ball with a long foot. Messi quickly threw away the left back who was defending him and rushed to the right side of Fulham's penalty area. After catching up with the slowing ball, he directly crossed the ball with his right foot.

With Messi, Ribery, who was attacking the opponent's goal, quickly chased after him, swung his left foot to meet the ball. He was also very smart in this shot. He slightly beat the goalkeeper and hit the net on the right inside of the goal.

"I'll tell you, you're too anxious and too aggressive. When you meet a team like Tottenham Hotspur, you'll lose if you're anxious."

"0 Fulham's start was simply terrible. We saw that Mark Hughes's team could not stop Tottenham Hotspur's attacks again and again, and scored two goals with three shots. How could Fulham stop such scoring efficiency in this game? Especially Mark Hughes also adopted the offensive tactic of front-pressing. Isn't this asking for death?"

Andy Grey was a little disappointed. After all, it was so fast that he lost two goals in less than seven minutes. This almost sentenced Fulham to death in advance, because it was difficult for Fulham to score these two goals in Tottenham Hotspur's hands while not being scored by Tottenham Hotspur. This was almost a nightmare

"Maybe now, for Mark Hughes, the safest tactic is to stabilize the situation first," Andy Gray suggested.

But it is obvious that Mark Hughes has no such intentions, or that the Fulham players on the court don't have this idea.

In fact, Tottenham Hotspur now has rich enough game experience. They are very smart and know how to use the advantages they have. They are also good at using their opponent's psychology to defeat their opponents.

Therefore, after the team scored two goals in a row, they continued to maintain the offensive pressure on Fulham, but they were not as sharp as before and were not as high-pressed as before. Instead, they patiently used their technical advantages to control the game.

It's like two people fighting, one is impatient and the other is calm. The former tries every means to kill the other in the shortest time, but the latter is confident of winning, patiently playing guerrilla warfare with you, grinding with you, slowly grinding away your patience and consuming your physical strength.

By the fifteenth minute, Fulham, who finally couldn't bear it, once again exposed a problem that shouldn't have happened.

Messi dribbled the ball on the right and wanted to make a personal breakthrough, but Mexican left-back Salsido was stuck very well. After cutting Messi's foot, he kicked forward directly, anxious to clear the ball out of the dangerous 30-meter area. But at this time, Kyle or Walker followed, got the ball and rushed forward, attracting Salsido's attention, and passed the ball directly, sending the ball to Messi who had already run behind Salsido and entered the penalty area.

Faced with such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the Argentine directly used his right foot to shoot a powerful shot about 17 meters away from the goal. He had a good grasp of the angle and strength of this shot. He took the ball to rub the right post into the net, and goalkeeper Schwarzer made a good stand and squatted down to hug the incoming ball.

But just when Schwarzer made the move, the ball landed and rebounded slightly, causing the ball to pass through the only gap between the goal post and the goal post, and crashed into the goal line.

"How Tottenham Hotspur plays now, it's going to play directly." Andy Grey was a little helpless, with three goals. Judging from this trend, Tottenham Hotspur could win a big victory.

"I believe that if you are a Tottenham Hotspur fans, you will definitely find something very interesting. That is, since last season, Tottenham Hotspur players have obviously made great progress in shooting and scoring. Let's take a look at the three goals in this game and the footwork are all very good."

"Last season, Tottenham Hotspur's center was Rodamel Falcao. The most impressive thing about this Colombia center is his unparalleled shooting skills, and this obviously stimulated the group of superstars in Tottenham Hotspur team, so they all practiced their footwork. Let's look at Ribery's pick-up shot just now. Now Messi's footwork is used very well, very reasonable

Andy Grey's commentary is professional, which is also his most popular style. He is now full of expectations for the outbreak of Tottenham Hotspur's game. Perhaps, if he can enjoy a wonderful goal feast, he will feel good, especially when the goalkeeper is Tottenham Hotspur, which has always been a gorgeous player.

The development of the game was as expected by Andy Grey. After Tottenham's condition was smooth, he really scored the goal. Although Fulham tried his best to stop it, he never could stop Tottenham from scoring another goal, even if they shrink into their 30-meter area.

When the game reached the 36th minute, Tottenham Hotspur's frontcourt offense was curbed. Messi rushed into the penalty area and shot was blocked by the opponent's defender. After Raul received the ball at the front of the penalty area, he saw that there was no chance, so he protected the ball and knocked back. Fabregas retreated to receive the ball and passed it to Kyle or Walker on the right.

After getting the ball, the England right back went forward with a big foot. After chasing him, he saw Messi blocking the opponent's left-back Byer in the penalty area, so he passed the ball directly with a strong pass and passed the ball towards Messi as fast as possible.

The Argentine has been asked by Ye Qiu to strengthen the upper limbs in recent years, which can indeed help him complete the physical confrontation. After he blocked left-back Salcido with his body, the latter's Yuji and run behind him did not affect him, but it was difficult for Messi to turn around. However, when Kyle or Walker's pass came to Messi's feet, the Argentine was very stable to receive the ball and almost did not allow the ball to rebound on his feet.

When Messi catches the pass in the penalty area, it will be a nightmare for any defensive player of any team, so the surrounding Fulham defenders rushed towards Messi without hesitation, but the Argentinian failed to turn around and chose to knock the ball back to Raul who was inserted into the penalty area from outside the penalty area.

When the Spanish veteran faced Messi's pass, the Argentine's calmness was reflected in the direction of his pass, which happened to be to Raul's left side. This angle made Raul, whose main foot was left, very easy to shoot directly, so the Spanish veteran did not waste any chance. He swung his left foot and shot it with a clever shot.

Raul's shooting method is also very good, and the angle is so striking that Schwarzer was desperate. He almost hit the post and hit the goal, 40

As Andy Grey said, when Tottenham played smoothly and went crazy, he scored goals almost as much as he played.

Watching Tottenham Hotspurs win another game, Fulham's goalkeeper Schwarzer had already lost four goals in just over half an hour, which made him so ashamed that he was arching his back and turf on his head, and constantly hammering the ground. He really had a hole in the ground and drilled directly down and buried himself.

I believe that at this moment, many players in Fulham are still puzzled. What happened to this game?

Why did I organize a good defense on weekdays, but this game was easily broken under Tottenham Hotspur's attack?
