White Hart Lane was like a smoke-filled battlefield. Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur were fiercely charging at each other in an atmosphere that did not stop. The confrontation after confrontation made the atmosphere more intense, affecting the emotions of every spectator.
In the last ten minutes of the game, Arsenal did not beat the gong to retreat, and Tottenham Hotspur did not surrender.
The storm still did not dissipate. Instead, it became more and more intense, as if the prelude to the final battle.
At the critical moment, whoever was calmer would be able to play better and have more confidence in controlling the overall situation.
Qin Xiong no longer carried out a wide range of mid-to-long distance passes. When Fàbregas came on, his position was the prerequisite for his starting position to be closer to Henry, Pires, Ljungberg, and also closer to Tottenham Hotspur's goal.
This reduced the difficulty of his cooperation with his teammates in a small area.
In a high-intensity game, he dodged and moved in a small area, nimbly got rid of the opponent's pressing, and effectively and steadily kicked the ball out, making Arsenal's attacks in the middle show a delicate and fierce offensive effect.
In the 83rd minute, Vieira found Qin Xiong in the backfield. Qin Xiong was caught in a double attack by Carrick and Brown. In the face of the incoming ball, he calmly and decisively knocked the ball back to the back with his heel, and then quickly plugged forward.
Carrick subconsciously stretched out his foot to intercept the ball, only to find that he was only half a meter away from the rolling football. Fàbregas, who came up from behind, took advantage of the momentum to move the ball forward and rushed past Carrick's defensive zone.
Qin Xiong was obviously Brown's first target. At this time, Brown also gave up on the zone defense and switched to man-marking defense.
No matter what, he followed Qin Xiong closely.
Fàbregas dribbled the ball to the front waistline, and he passed the ball back to Qin Xiong's feet.
This was actually not a good choice. Qin Xiong was running to contain and cover for his teammates, especially when Brown's marking meant that he had attracted the opponent's defensive midfielder. Fàbregas' pass might be the worst of the limited options.
As a result, Qin Xiong was entangled with his opponent and barely managed to control the ball. Furthermore, Nabet intercepted him head-on, causing him to almost lose his center of gravity. He still lost the ball!
Edman's help in the defense made it impossible for Qin Xiong, who was sandwiched on three sides, to control the ball at his feet. He was not in a good position to receive the ball.
However, after the football was destroyed, it was only poked behind Qin Xiong by Nabil. Qin Xiong looked back and saw Henry running diagonally towards him. He used all his strength to half-turn and sweep the ball to the left side of the penalty area, and then Henry fell to the ground.
Henry, who did not hesitate to fall to pass the ball, sent a wonderful pass to Pires.
Under the control of Qin Xiong and Henry, Tottenham Hotspur's defensive line retreated into the penalty area and piled up on the right side. They had invested most of their forces in encircling and suppressing Qin Xiong, so they had to guard against Henry as well.
As a result, when Pires cut into the penalty area, the only one who could form a defense against him was the full-back, Tariq, from the inside line.
Pires skillfully and freely kicked the ball with his left and right feet in front of Tariq. He successfully shook off Tariq, but he himself was very close to the end line.
At this time, Robinson abandoned the goal and went out. Pires, who originally had a very small shooting angle, boldly took a small step to bring the ball to the end line when Robinson rushed up. Then, he suddenly hit a push shot. The football quickly rolled past Robinson's feet, stuck to the turf, and brushed against the inside of the goalpost before rolling into the goal!
Almost zero angle to break the goal!
"Pires's wonderful individual performance! What a wonderful and rhythmic way to control the ball and get rid of it, and also an accurate shot! Arsenal leads Tottenham Hotspur by three goals again! This is a crazy game! 6:3！”
Wenger waved his fists in celebration when he saw the goal.
Wenger seemed to have seen Pires at his peak. Even though he could not jump to conclusions, Pires, who had rested for a period of time to adjust his condition after his return from injury, showed signs of recovery. In the team, Robin van Persie was injured and Reyes could not be of much use. If Pires could recover after many years, it would definitely be the best thing to do.
White Hart Lane stadium was silent.
Many Tottenham Hotspur fans began to leave the stadium.
Martin Jol's face was extremely ugly. His Premier League debut had been botched at home!
Perhaps Tottenham Hotspur's fighting spirit was worthy of praise, but after being beaten into a sieve by their arch-rivals, their defensive line was riddled with holes, and their whole body was covered in cuts and bruises. After this game, there would certainly be no fans or media praising Tottenham Hotspur's fighting spirit.
The game was not over yet.
Tottenham Hotspur's fighting spirit did not change much. They were more stubborn and unyielding. Even if they were destined to not win the game, they would still aggressively strive to score goals. If Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur were in the same situation, they would certainly do the same.
Henry began to actively withdraw to participate in the defense in the final period of the game. Tottenham Hotspur's midfielders and wingers also began to mark Henry, which made it difficult for him to get passes from his teammates in the front field. He simply returned to the defense to link up with the midfield.
In the 89th minute of the game, Kanort lost the fight for a header with Campbell. Vieira protected the ball in front of the penalty area. Carrick came up to snatch it but was unsuccessful. The experienced Vieira blocked him behind and then passed the ball to Ashley Cole on the flank.
Ashley Cole strode forward with the ball. At this time, Arsenal clearly got a good opportunity to attack.
Tottenham Hotspur's defensive line was nervous. They nervously marked Henry, worried that the Premier League's killing god would do something shocking again.
But they were wrong!
With such a good opportunity to attack, Henry actually ran back. After receiving Ashley Cole's pass in the midfield, he kicked the ball out and the football reached Fàbregas's feet.
Fàbregas stroked the ball forward and then observed the movement in front.
Was there anyone in the front line?
Yes!
When Henry retreated and led Tottenham Hotspur's defensive line to press forward, Qin Xiong passed by Henry from the midfield in a position parallel to him. He rushed to the front line as fast as lightning.
Fàbregas sent out a straight ball over the top. When Qin Xiong rushed through the gap between Nabil and Edman, the football also passed over their heads.
Just as he entered the penalty area, Qin Xiong turned sideways and his left foot unloaded the falling football.
It was another performance of lifting something heavy as if it was light to stop the ball!
This was a basic skill, but basic skills were also an art when practiced to the extreme!
And he used his left foot, which was not his dominant foot!
Not only did the football seem to be stuck when it fell and came into contact with his foot, but it also slid off his foot and rolled slowly on the grass to the front of his right foot.
Stopping the ball and adjusting was done in one go!
Qin Xiong looked at Robinson's reaction. Robinson, who was like a bird startled by the twang of a bow, did not abandon the goal this time. Qin Xiong simply did not think much and directly kicked the goal!
The football flew like lightning into the top left corner of the goal. Robinson once again made a useless save.
"Oh my God! 7:3！ Arsenal massacred Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane! Qin Xiong is too dazzling in this game! He scored a hat-trick! His hot form is still continuing, which makes him the derby hero in the hearts of the Arsenal fans in the North London Derby. It will also make him more firmly occupy the team's main position! The most important thing is that he makes Arsenal stronger, no doubt! "
After Qin Xiong scored, he found that apart from the Arsenal fans who were unscrupulously celebrating, the Tottenham Hotspur fans could hardly make any sound.
The Tottenham Hotspur fans, who had made provocative and humiliating actions and hurled abuse at him when he scored the first goal, were silent. They stared at him numbly, and there were more obvious empty seats in the stands. Many Tottenham Hotspur fans had left the stadium.
Qin Xiong came to the corner area. Even if Fàbregas excitedly rushed up to celebrate the goal with him, Qin Xiong was indifferent.
He stood there straight with his right hand on his waist and his left hand raised to his ear, making a "listen" gesture.
His expression was full of pride at this moment, as well as the joy of venting his hatred for Tottenham Hotspur.
Where are the boos?
Boo me!
Tottenham Hotspur, make a little noise, come on, make a little noise!
After he made this gesture, the Tottenham Hotspur fans who were still in the stadium reacted quickly. They were like bruised and sorrowful beasts, roaring hysterically. They were angry and denouncing Qin Xiong.
Qin Xiong laughed!
Louder!
Louder!
Let me hear your sorrowful cries!
Let me hear your cries of humiliation!
Let me hear your screams of despair!
.....
Qin Xiong's first derby match with his nemesis in the same city in his career came to an end. He had a brand new experience in English football called "the venting of hatred and killing between nemeses"!
