Chapter 99 Procrastination
Nothing else can be guaranteed, but the relationship between the players within the Notts County Club is definitely something David is proud of.
Although this batch of players comes from many countries, David has always built a sense of family within the club. Even if some players do not become friends who talk about everything, at least there will never be such a near-dispute. scene.
And now this scene on the field is undoubtedly not a real infighting.
These guys are acting!
The purpose is also very clear - delay time!
At this point in the game, how could Notts County, which is ahead but has one less battle, not use some informal means!
Ben Foster was still dancing and shouting in front of the door. The Tottenham players quit and protested to the referee for Notts County's delay.
There were protests with good reasons, and the referee couldn't pretend to be invisible. He could only warn Notts County to line up the wall as soon as possible, otherwise he would blow the whistle.
After Ben Foster's performance, he immediately became serious and stared at the ball with a solemn expression. The position of this free kick is very dangerous. If the free kick is played well, the probability of scoring directly is not low. Take it lightly.
When he's done, it's someone else's turn.
The wall of people in Notts County moved forward little by little under the watchful eyes of everyone. The referee didn't pay attention.
The referee was about to blow the whistle, but was interrupted by a protest from the Tottenham players.
The Tottenham players didn't need to speak at all, they pointed directly at the wall of Notts County, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious: "Look at the referee, these bastards are almost standing in front of the ball!
Naturally, the referee could not let the behavior of the Notts County human wall be tolerated, and stepped forward to signal that the human wall should move back and maintain a sufficient distance.
The Notts County player was very obedient and stepped back immediately, but when the referee turned around and moved forward quietly, it seemed like a doll was being controlled by a remote control.
Tottenham players are very dissatisfied. This time, they are not just protesting. They continue to put pressure on the referee, and let Notts County delay like this. The free kick has not been taken, and the 90-minute game is over. .
"I warn you again, before the whistle blows, if the wall moves forward, I will draw my cards!" The referee warned the Notts County wall with a blank expression.
Tottenham players and referees thought, this time, Notts County will not play tricks!
They didn't see the communication in the eyes of several players on the wall.
When the Tottenham players were ready to take the penalty again under pressure, they exploded in exasperation.
Sheringham slammed towards the human wall, shoving Kuyt's body with both hands, and the two of them pressed their heads together.
"Bastard, don't you dare not to play these little tricks!" Sheringham's saliva has been sprayed on Kuyt's face.
However, before they could make another move, the referee's hurried whistle sounded, and he quickly appeared beside them.
After separating the two, the referee without hesitation took out a yellow card and flashed it to Sheringham, and then turned around and showed it to Kuyt.
"Sir, they moved ahead again, they are delaying time, these guys are provoking your majesty!" Sheringham stood in front of the referee and protested unconvinced.
"So I gave him a yellow card!" The referee responded with a livid face.
Yes, he gave Sheringham a yellow card for pushing and Kuyt for his early move.
Sheringham and Kuyt turned away angrily.
At this time, David was extremely regretful on the sidelines. If Kuyt fell directly to the ground just now, I am afraid that Sheringham would not only get a yellow card, or he would be thrown off the field directly!
Fortunately, the purpose of Notts County is just to delay time. Kuyt's yellow card is expected.
Anyway, this game is already the final final, even if he has a yellow card on his back, it doesn't matter. As for Sheringham's yellow card, it is completely a windfall.
After such a fuss, for two minutes, the free kick was not sent out, and the Tottenham fans in the stands were already booing.
The fans of Notts County are applauding loudly, and at the same time they are disdainful. There is no justice or evil on the football field. They are all fighting for victory. Now Notts County is playing these methods. If it is replaced by Tottenham in the lead , I'm afraid you have more fun.
Sheringham was angry, and a free kick hit the goal, but unfortunately, it was called an anti-aircraft gun and flew directly into the stands.
Notts County, who escaped the catastrophe, successfully delayed the time, and the gains were obvious, but the situation on the field was still not very favorable to them, because Tottenham's offense was still sharp, and they could only passively and conservatively defend.
Ben Foster dawdled and took a big kick, Notts County passed a few kicks, the ball returned to Tottenham's feet, and Tottenham's offense started again.
In the 83rd minute, Lahm's foul in front of the penalty area once again gave Tottenham a free kick. Similarly, Notts County used the means to delay the time for more than a minute, which made the Tottenham players want to cry. tears.
Hoddle's face was ashen on the sideline. He knew that his free-kick tactic had failed. At this time, he was playing this game with Notts County.
Procrastinating at this rhythm, all the game time is spent in dead balls. In addition, the players’ mentality is generally unbalanced, and their free throw strength is not very good. Continuing to use free kick tactics is like helping Notts County to delay time. !
In desperation, Hoddle could only let the players open their hands and feet to fight. Anyway, it has come to this point of time. The extra arrangements are useless, and nothing is straightforward and effective.
Feeling the changes in the opponents, the Notts County players' defensive line construction is more backward, as if everyone is holding hands to isolate the penalty area, and idlers are not allowed to enter.
Even if people can score, then the ball will not be scored, you are not welcome here!
In the 86th minute, Les Ferdinand's shot was blocked by Ben Foster.
In the 87th minute, Ledley King grabbed the first point of the header, but unfortunately the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.
In the 88th minute, Ben Foster was given a yellow card by the referee for delaying the kick-off.
In the 89th minute, Les Ferdinand made a 45-degree cross from the wing and hit the post with a head shake. The Notts County player grabbed the second big foot to make a clearance.
Meanwhile, the fourth official raised the stoppage time sign on the sidelines, with five minutes of stoppage time in the second half.
In the last minute of regular time, the Tottenham players ran wildly like flies without a head. Although the purpose was clear, it was unorganized.
In these five minutes, Tottenham mostly created threats through crosses or corner kicks from the flank. This situation can be seen at the end of many games, and Tottenham is no exception.
But in the face of Notts County, such an attack is really difficult to pose a lethal threat.
