The game was a bit intense.

After several offensive threats from Arsenal, Tottenham seemed to be stressed, and their counterattack became more fierce.

Especially the confrontation in the central axis became fierce.

In the past, when Tottenham faced Arsenal, they chose to avoid confrontation in the central axis as much as possible.

After all, the pressure of Arsenal's central axis was a bit too strong. Instead of biting themselves to bleed, they broke their teeth.

However, in this game, Tottenham did not know what decision they made. They spent more effort on the advancement of the central axis.

After Eriksson held the ball, Wilshere followed suit.

The fight between the two was extremely fierce.

In the dribbling process, they had to fight against Wilshere's impact, which put a lot of pressure on Eriksson.

But the two did not retreat at all. Although they were sometimes knocked to the ground, they still used their hands and feet and kept choosing to advance.

In the end, Wilshere directly put down the shovel fiercely and knocked Eriksson to the ground with the ball.

"Hey!"

Eriksson yelled in dissatisfaction. He thought this was a dangerous foul and he could definitely get a card.

The referee also ran over quickly.

Facing Tottenham's accusation, the referee did not mean to get a card.

"Do you think this is a foul? He touched the ball first! Didn't you see it? Well, I need you to respect my judgment!"

After that, the referee called Wilshere over.

"Play smart, man! This is your final. I don't want to be the protagonist of this game, so you need to be smart and don't get a card for these actions. I won't do this again next time!"

After completing the negotiations between the two sides, the referee still awarded Tottenham a set-piece in the frontcourt.

The referee warned the players of both sides, hoping that they could put away the dangerous actions in time.

After all, he didn't want the game to fall into chaos, especially since there was a derby in this Champions League final.

Despite the referee's warning, the two sides did not slow down any confrontation and conflict.

Before the set-piece, the players on both sides had already started psychological warfare.

Harry Kane took the initiative to push Hummels, provoking the opponent's mentality, hoping to get a yellow card.

Hummels was also very experienced. He did not fall for it, but took advantage of the situation to stick close to Harry Kane.

Don't you want to fight?

Then I will fight for you!

In Hummels' close defense, Harry Kane couldn't jump at all.

For this reason, he stretched out his hand to push Hummels again, and the latter used his chest to push Harry Kane out of the penalty area step by step.

Before the set-piece was taken, the referee blew the whistle and ran to the penalty area, warning the players on both sides to restrain their hands.

"Both sides have a lot of hand movements, and there is a tendency to commit fouls in defense and pressing. Obviously, they both want to use this method to suppress the morale of the opponent, but the situation has not changed because of this, but it has become more explosive."

"I think the referee should show some yellow cards if he doesn't want the situation to get out of control!"

As the commentator said, if a warning is not given during this period, it will eventually become more dangerous.

Finally, after a lot of wrangling, the set-piece was successfully taken.

Eriksson took the penalty kick. He wanted to push the ball closer to the goal, so he failed to grasp the landing point and the ball was too close to the goal.

Finally, Martinez took the initiative and grabbed the ball from the air.

Surrounded by Tottenham players, Martinez was afraid of being hit by the opponent and losing his hand after taking the ball, so he lay on the ground and waited for the Tottenham players to leave the penalty area.

After both sides left the penalty area and ensured that it was safe enough, Martinez passed the ball to the full-back.

Bellerin passed the ball along the sideline to Aubameyang who was retreating.

Aubameyang flicked the ball with his left foot and the ball was transferred horizontally to Lekai's feet.

Aubameyang turned around and wanted to run wildly to open the attack on the left wing.

But Lekai did not pass it over. He saw that Tottenham's full-back was close to Aubameyang and there was no chance on the left wing.

For this reason, Lekai began to transfer on the basis of controlling the ball to ensure that the ball was under his feet.

At the same time, he kept a close eye on the dispatch and organization work in the midfield.

"Come back and receive the ball!"

Lucky directed Wilshere to retreat and receive the ball, but he himself had no intention of moving forward.

His job in this game was to ensure the stability of the midfield, and then to promote the offense.

For this reason, he would not rush forward before the midfield was completely stable or had enough advantages.

Of course, if there was an excellent opportunity, that would be another matter.

But Tottenham would not give Arsenal such an opportunity.

Under continuous transfers and dispatches, Arsenal was still trying to tear open Tottenham's defense, but Tottenham's defense was also very active. In conjunction with some fierce defensive actions, Arsenal became a little cautious and did not dare to conduct too intense penetration.

"Tottenham's defense in this game was excellent. They did not cause a deviation in their defensive position due to Arsenal's continuous transfers, but instead drove the opponent out step by step in an organized manner while standing in their own position!"

Andy Gray nodded.

Compared with before, Tottenham's biggest improvement in the second half was in defense.

Unlike before, when they could penetrate the defense with one attack, scored many goals, and lost the same number of goals.

Today, Tottenham seems to have suddenly come to their senses and knows how to defend.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the division of labor between the two central defenders has become more specific.

Vertonghen and Alderweireld, the two central defenders can already organize the defense, and under the command of Lori in the back, the entire defense line has become very stable.

Of course, there are also reasons for the excellent performance in this game.

It can be said that in this game, the state of the entire Tottenham defense line has been greatly improved.

"Pass it back!"

After a long time of attacking, Lekai shouted to the front.

Arsenal passed the ball back and prepared to organize the attack again.

Tottenham also slowly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, Arsenal's attack still put a lot of pressure on them.

Even the fans and commentators in the stands breathed a sigh of relief.

Football games should be like this, the rhythm changes freely, there are strong attack periods, and there must be rest time.

After all, if the game lasts for 90 minutes, with a fast pace and high confrontation, the 22 players on the field will not be able to run before the game is over.

Arsenal retreated and prepared to reorganize the attack.

But Tottenham thought this was a good opportunity to seize the rhythm.

For this reason, they rushed over fiercely and besieged Arsenal.

Less than 10 seconds after the rhythm was changed, Tottenham took the initiative to seize the rhythm with Arsenal.

Andy Gray was amazed when he saw this scene; "That's right! Tottenham should play like this. They can't give up the competition for rhythm just because the opponent is Arsenal and has a strong central axis. It's a bad thing to let Arsenal's midfield play comfortably."

Tottenham's counterattack was fierce, and Arsenal was determined not to lose the ball.

This also made the fight and confrontation between the two sides go to a higher level.

In the end, Eriksson finally found an opportunity in a pressing and poked the ball under Wilshere's feet.

"Asshole!"

Wilshere knew he had lost the ball and turned and ran.

After catching up with Eriksen, he knocked Eriksen down from the side.

Beep~~~~~~

A sharp whistle sounded.

Before the players from both sides gathered around, the referee had signaled Wilshere to stand up and showed him a yellow card.

This was also the first yellow card of the game, which appeared at the 12th minute of the game.

For this penalty, Wilshere tried to explain, but the referee warned the other party with his eyes.

In the end, Wilshere successfully prevented Tottenham's counterattack, but at the same time he also paid the price of a yellow card.

"Are you okay?"

Sun Xingmin walked over to ask.

Eriksen frowned slightly. He could feel a slight tingling in his calf. When he collided before, the studs probably rubbed against it.

But it's not a big problem.

"I can still hold on!"

Eriksen nodded.

Hearing this, Sun Xingmin slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Eriksen was injured and left the field during this period, it would be very bad news for Tottenham.

After the players were fine, the game continued.

It was another Tottenham set-piece in the frontcourt, and Arsenal continued to defend in the penalty area.

In this game, Tottenham seemed to deliberately create set-pieces and corner kicks, hoping to open up the situation in this way.
