The most low-key superstar

Chapter 44 The first battle of the new season

On August 2006, 8, the Reebok Stadium ushered in its first game of the new season. After a summer of silence, the noisy fans returned here to pursue their dreams. However, Bolton will never belong to the transfer For those who are trendy in the market, it is their consistent policy to introduce players purposefully. Representatives of the "nursing home" Okocha and Ngoti have left the team, central defender Jaidi switched to Birmingham, Hidetoshi Nakata retired, Fadiga was abandoned, and Bolton bled a lot.Mette, who has a good performance, is taken for granted by Allardyce, but it is doubtful to what extent his arrival can make up for the vacancy left by Jaidi.Another titan is Fortune, a South African from Manchester United, but he can't find his place in the Red Devils. At the age of 19, he has reached the late stage of his golden age. It is not bad to play for Bolton Destination, the static in the transfer market makes Bolton a bit mysterious today.Today Bolton sent the goalkeeper: Jas Kleinen, the Finnish goalkeeper is their most reliable player, the defenders: Hunter, Meite, Campo, Gardner, the forwards: Jenna Kopoulos, Nolan, Speed (Faye), Fortune, Diouf, Forward: Kevin Davis.

For Tottenham, Davies still won the starting lineup. Obviously, Hoddle is still not at ease with Janus. In the first game, he still needs to be more stable. Dawson and King formed a combination of central defenders, and Nickel and Lennon were on the two wings. Brother Xiaosa and Keane partnered forward, and the midfielder was played by Zokola, an Ivorian. Nicole has a good impression of him. He has good physical fitness, strong defense, and a wide radiation area. Although his speed is not very fast, if he concentrates on him Defense is enough.

Amid the cheers of the fans, the game started, maybe because of the home court, after the opening, Bolton played very proactively, especially Diouf seemed to be rejuvenated, he had a strong desire to move forward, but he was still old, Lee Young-pyo The stalker makes him helpless. The Greek Gianna Kopoulos seems to have not adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League, so his passing and receiving can never keep up with the rhythm of the team. Tottenham are also looking for the feeling of the game , so the game in the first half was not exciting at all. Nichols broke through a few times, but none of them posed any threat. Instead, Berbatov found an opportunity. Sklenin lifted the crossbar.

The first half is over, the players seem to have not recovered from the joy of the holiday, the state is generally not good, but Morrison gave his opinion, the World Cup has just ended, most of the team's leading players have participated The World Cup, so they didn't get a good rest, and the Premier League is the first league to start, so the teams at the beginning of the season are still in the stage of finding their status and running in.

In the locker room, Mr. Hoddle was explaining and adjusting tactics, while the team doctors and coaches took the time to relax the muscles with the players to relieve muscle tension and avoid injuries.

After the opening of the second half, Tottenham took the lead. Lennon ran all the way along the sideline. When he reached the baseline, he used a feint to open a gap and passed a good ball. The ball found Keane. Keane did not seek credit, but The header passed to Berbatov, and Brother Xiaosha knocked over the opponent's defender and hit the goal directly. Unfortunately, the ball hit the opponent's goalkeeper's leg and bounced back to the penalty area line. Davis grabbed the ball's landing point, but he had no chance Shot, because the opponent's two defenders rushed up, Davis showed his experience at this time, he didn't look at his left, he directly knocked the ball to the left with his heel, Nickle appeared where he should be , he directly dribbled the ball into the opponent's penalty area and rushed in along the baseline. The opponent's goalkeeper had to move to the right to block Nickle's shot angle. Can grab points.

However, none of the Tottenham players touched the ball, but Mette, who fell to the ground and wanted to use a tackle to destroy the pass, first touched the ball, but unfortunately, he blocked the ball directly into his own goal.

Seeing the ball hit the goal by himself, Mette regretted it. He lay in front of the goal for a long time and refused to get up until the goalkeeper pulled him up.He was very depressed, and for the first match of his new club, he gave him an oolong gift.

The Tottenham players did not have so many scruples. They were very excited. Although it was an own goal, they still hugged each other tightly to celebrate the first goal of the season. Nicole was very depressed. This goal has nothing to do with him in terms of statistics. Well, not even an assist.

Seeing that the team was behind, Bolton's head coach came to the sidelines, gestured to the team, and directed the team to strengthen their offense. Nickel liked this kind of game very much. The more this situation, he felt that he had more room to play. Sure enough, 5 minutes later, Nickel received a pass from Lee Young-pyo and got a chance to counterattack. Facing the opponent, he used a large change of line to get rid of the defender. The defender had to give up guarding Berbatov, and charged towards Nicole, who accelerated and rushed into the penalty area. Facing the defense of the defender, he dialed a crotch ball with the outside of his instep, and Xiaosha received it comfortably. The ball pushed a slanted line, and the ball brushed the hand of Yass Cleinin, who made a hard save, and rolled into the goal. Brother Xiaosha scored his first goal for Tottenham. He was very excited, rushed over and jumped on Nickel , Raised his finger, until other teammates came and pulled him to the ground, he and Nickel also enjoyed the pain and happiness of being crushed by several people.

Hoddle was very happy. He clenched his fists and his hips left his seat early to celebrate when he saw Nikkor made a breakthrough. After Berbatov scored, he hugged the assistant coach tightly and celebrated. He was very excited about this key goal, and there was nothing that made him happier than achieving such a success in his debut.

Allardyce kicked a bottle of water high at his feet angrily. He knew how difficult it would be for Bolton, who was two goals behind, to win back against the solid defensive Tottenham. However, when he was thinking about countermeasures, The referee ran over and showed him a yellow card. It turned out that the water bottle he lifted had fallen into the field. If the referee hadn't sympathized with his team's lagging behind, he might have drawn out the red card.However, the boos of the fans were still loud. They did not agree with the referee's penalty. The team's backwardness made them vent their anger on the referee.

However, the boos of the fans made Allardyce make up his mind. He replaced another striker Waztel, removed a defender, and made a last-ditch effort.After Wattstell came on the field, he conveyed the arrangement of the head coach. Bolton launched a tidal attack, and the effect was not bad. In the 39th minute, Zokola fouled with a tackle. Bolton got a free kick in the front court and Davis headed the ball. The goal bounced off Dawson's back, another own goal, and it was a weird one.

Bolton's morale was boosted after scoring the goal, and the offensive became more fierce amid the cheers of the fans. They hoped to score another goal in a short time, but Lennon broke their hope.Nickel, who came back to participate in the defense, tackled the opposing ball. Before the opponent could react, it was a long pass. Of course, the landing point was Lennon’s favorite place. Few people could catch up with Lennon when he sprinted. Berbatov's pulling opened up space for Lennon. Lennon played a one-stop game and scored a low shot against the goalkeeper, killing his opponent's hope of 3:1.

Tottenham ushered in a season-opening victory, and Nicole was given champagne for organizing three goals.
