Chapter 76 Dilemma
"This is the killing of artistic football! It is a football tactic as extremely utilitarian as the 1:0 doctrine!" Martin Taylor's condemnation seemed so weak.

Such foul tactics!There is no technology at all!Simple, rude, violent, direct!
But it works!

In 10 minutes, Manchester City did not take a shot, did not score a 30-meter area in the frontcourt, and did not pass a threatening pass.

The originally powerful Manchester City frontcourt four-man team has completely become a decoration.The number of times Vassell has touched the turf has even exceeded the number of touches with the ball.The thin and short Vassell stood next to the tall and burly Laidley King, as helpless as bean sprouts after a frost.Samaras's original sky blue jersey can no longer see the original color, and the hem of the jersey was even pulled off by Tottenham players in several places, just floating around like this... The awkward forward duo just reflects Manchester City's offensive line is in a mess at this time!
Joel stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed, nodding frequently as he watched the performance of the players.City didn't have any chances at all and he can rest easy now.Joel sat on the bench with a smile, took a bottle of water from his assistant, unscrewed the cap, and took two sips with his neck raised.

This set of foul tactics is a gluttonous feast specially "customized" by Joel for Manchester City!Using fouls to stop Manchester City's offense, Tottenham have been practicing for more than half a month.It can be said to be easy to use now.For this set of foul tactics, Jol tried his best to study the habitual actions of every Manchester City player and formulate foul tactics.In the usual drills, there are clear regulations on what position each Tottenham player is responsible for and how to foul.

Joel racked his brains to conceive all kinds of foul methods, which can even be compiled into an "Encyclopedia of Fouls".

The situation was under his control, and Joel felt relieved for a while.He leaned back comfortably in his chair and watched the game contentedly.He even thought about how the media reporters praised him as the "terminator of eleven consecutive victories" after the game. "When the time comes, I should wave my hand and humbly say that this is the credit of the whole team. But then again, Duncan's expression will definitely be very rich when the time comes, right?" Joel thought maliciously.

Up to now, all the arrangements of Manchester City are under their own control.Well, except for one thing, Mido, who has been starting all the time recently, was refrigerated in this game and replaced by the defensive Haman.But this has no effect on Tottenham's defense in the slightest: Hamann is a purely defensive player, and so far, he has never crossed the half-court.

Joel shook his head: This young coach usually has novel and bold tactics, but when it comes to such a critical moment, he becomes conservative.In such a critical game, it is necessary to attack at all costs!

But Duncan on the other side didn't notice anything, just occasionally exchanged a few words with Jim Cassell, without worrying about the status quo of the team at all.

Joel was agitated for no reason, and suddenly he had empathy for his previous Manchester City opponents.Now Manchester City is obviously in a passive position, but Duncan is not in a hurry, but it seems to be hiding his back and has a way to win by surprise.

If Duncan stood up impatiently at this time and yelled into the field, I believe Joel would be much more at ease.But it's such an attitude of neither plague nor fire, which is the most annoying.

Look, look, this guy actually yawned?Is it possible to give him a bed so that he can sleep in it?Joel thought.

The time on the court is passing by one point after another, but the process of the game is more than intense and not exciting enough.Originally, Manchester City's offensive was mainly focused on the four-man frontcourt. Now that Mido has replaced Harman, the number of Manchester City's offensive players is only three.

Although the two full-backs on the left and right are often plugged in, they have never attacked the penalty area.

A few times, Tottenham wanted to take advantage of Manchester City's aggressive pressure to counterattack a few times, but when they got the ball, they found that Manchester City's back line was completely shrunk behind, and Tottenham gave up the idea of ​​​​attacking.

Button had obviously made mental preparations before the game.Although Tottenham has repeatedly provoked, he rarely made physical movements except for a few words.Sometimes when he was downrooted, Barton would say a few dirty words.The referee didn't have much favor for Tottenham's pure foul tactics, so they simply turned a blind eye to it and ignored it.

The players can bear it, but the fans can't calm down.

The fans of the visiting team let go of their throats one by one, yelling at Tottenham for their unscrupulous conduct.This kind of destruction, which is purely at the expense of others and for the purpose of destruction, is absolutely outraged by all heaven and earth.

"Zhu Yao, what do you dare to do with real swords and land grabs?!"

"The former giants now only foul like clowns?"

"You don't deserve to stay in the Premier League! Amateur teams play cleaner than you!"

……

Some Manchester City fans even ran to the stands behind the home team's bench and gave Joel the middle finger!

Joel turned a blind eye to this: As long as he can win, no matter how bad he plays?The winner is a prince!
Even the enthusiastic Tottenham fans were relatively silent.Except for a few radicals who fought back against Manchester City fans, most Tottenham fans remained silent.

Sometimes silence is opposition.They would rather Tottenham can attack, which may lose the UEFA Cup qualification, but it is better than playing so utilitarianly...

Tottenham Hotspur also has its own pride.

In the 34th minute of the first half, Vassell got a rare opportunity to square the ball. He used a fake action of shaking his upper body to deceive the tall and burly Ledley King, and then faced Dawson who pounced on him, Vassell Hall gave a slight pull, then jumped up, ready to deftly avoid Dawson's scissor feet.

But Dawson turned a blind eye to football, and by inertia, knocked Vassell out of the air.Wasser flew two or three meters before landing, rolled a few times on the grass, lay there with his legs crossed and hummed.

"Red card!" "Sent him off!" Manchester City fans shouted excitedly.

The referee blew his whistle, ran over, and showed Dawson a yellow card!
The visiting team's stands were boiling. In this obvious malicious action, Dawson's foot kicked Vassell's calf on the face bone. Shouldn't he be sent off?
"This cliff is a red card!"

"Referee, are you blind?"

"Say! How much did you charge Tottenham?!"

There were aggressive prisoners who made a gesture of "counting money" to the referee.The referee turned a blind eye to Tottenham's numerous fouls in the first half. This yellow card is Tottenham's first yellow card.

The referee's soft law enforcement gave Tottenham more courage.

"Man, are you okay?" Samaras ran up and patted Vassell on the shoulder.

Wasser was still talking, but winked at Samaras.Just now Dawson shoveled, Vassell deliberately retracted his leg, so it looked scary, but he didn't actually suffer any injuries.He was carried off the field on a stretcher, and the team doctor pretended to treat him, and Vassell came on the field alive and kicking.

The game continued, Manchester City, unable to concentrate on the game, was angered by Tottenham's foul tactics, vain and anxious, and began to lose their composure.Although Duncan specifically told him to get ready before the start of the game, but as soon as his hot temper came up, everything was forgotten.

Since you fouled Tottenham, then I will commit it back!

In the second half of the first half, under the stunned gaze of the audience and the fans, because of the soft law enforcement style of the referee, this encounter completely turned into a "hand-to-hand combat".

For Joel, this is what he wished for, and it was exactly what he wanted. It would be even better if Manchester City did something irrational because they couldn't control their emotions and were sent off with one or two people.

However, the referee's soft style makes Joel love and hate.How much convenience the referee gave to Tottenham before, how much is now given back to Manchester City.All of a sudden, people turned on their backs, the turf rolled up, the dirt flew around, and all kinds of kung fu moves could be seen everywhere on the court.The players on both sides blushed and had thick necks, and their muscles and soles became their biggest weapons.

If you just turn on the TV, viewers who don't know the situation may think it's a football game.

Not long after, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.Relying on "resolute sabotage", Tottenham tenaciously held on to the draw.

"Damn, I'm so tired." In the locker room, Barton spit out a mouthful of bloody sputum, reached out and pulled off the jersey with a big footprint.

"I bet they must have learned from world boxing champions!" The corners of Trabelsi's eyes were purple and blue from the punches that came from somewhere.

Samaras didn't speak, but grinned and tore off the sock. The sock had been replaced with a long hole. Along the hole, a long hole appeared on Samaras' thigh.

"This damn Tottenham head coach is really annoying!" Jim Cassell said angrily, "In order to win, he actually used such a shameless means!"

"That's right!" Duncan nodded: "It's nothing more than a foul, but you're still complacent?"
