With the 3 points obtained from the difficult win, Tottenham continued to maintain the third position in the standings. Even because of Chelsea's defeat in this round, Tottenham also tied Chelsea in the standings with only a goal difference. The disadvantage fell to the third place.

　　After a week of trimming, Tottenham ushered in the 10th round of the Premier League. They will meet the challenge of Stoke City at White Hart Lane.

　　 Stoke City is not a strong team, but their performance this season is good. In the past 9 rounds, they have achieved 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. With 12 points, they rank 9th in the Premier League.

　　Under the leadership of the team's hero coach Prince, Stoke City has distinctive characteristics.

　　 Tony Price, the number one founder of Stoke City Recovery. Price took over Stoke City for the first time in 2002, when Stoke City had just been promoted to the Premier League. In the latter two seasons, Stoke City under the administration of Pulis played stable and was located in the middle of the league. But in 2005, the conflict between Pulis and his boss inspired him to leave Stoke City.

　　A year later, when Coates, the former owner of Stoke City, took over Stoke City again, he first thought of Pulis.

　　In 2006, Price and Stoke City continued their leading edge. And Pulis's second entry into the palace quickly brought immediate results to Stoke City. In the 2007-08 season, Stoke City won the runner-up in the English Premier League, making them a 23-year return to England's top league and the team's first appearance in the Premier League.

　　 Under the training of Price, Stoke City returned to the most primitive style of play. They didn't need to control the ball or complex tactics. Long pass rushing and out-of-bounds grenade tactics keep their football always in the sky, plus the elders of this team, over time, the fans have nicknamed Stoke City as the city of the sky.

　　Pliss made Stoke City. He led the team to a firm foothold in the strong Premier League Premier League. At the same time, Stoke City also made Pulis, making him a Premier League superman.

　　The last game faced the Premier League deputy squad, Tottenham still won the stumble. Now facing Stoke City in the middle of the Premier League, Lao Lei naturally dare not care about it and made his main debut in the game.

　　 And, Woodgate who once played in Real Madrid also came back in this game.

　　 Only, as a result, Bell can only continue to sit on the bench.

　　Lao Lei so much value this game, originally came for 3 points. Tottenham's strength is already stronger than Stoke City, coupled with a historical record also has a clear advantage, Tottenham nearly 8 home games against Stoke City scored 8 wins and 3 draws, Stoke City last victory over Tottenham It was still 34 years ago, so Lao Lei planned early to put these 3 points in his pockets, so that the team can continue to bite the top two Manchester United and Chelsea in the standings, even if only one of the top two takes a nap, Tottenham can replace it.

　　However, when the game started, Lao Lei found that the game was not as smooth as he imagined.

　　………………

　　Pliss was able to bring the newly promoted Stoke City to the 12th place in the league last season, not because of the strong strength of Stoke City, but by his pragmatic pass.

　　 Last season, Stoke City's record was 12 wins, 9 draws and 17 losses, scoring 38 goals and 55 goals, 45 points.

　　 scored 38 goals, averaging a goal rate of 1 goal, but brought 45 points for the team, which relies on the careful calculation of Pulis. Of their 12 victories, only three of them were able to beat their opponents by two goals, and the remaining nine victories were all small goals.

　　 Such a result, the reason is very simple, that is defense. Most of Stoke City's games are in the backcourt, and then look for opportunities to steal you and win.

　　 This is also the case in this game. Although the lineup that Pulis looks like seems to be 442, most of the time, they have seven to eight defensive players.

　　Under such a dense defense, Tottenham wants to break through Stoke City's defense, the difficulty can be imagined. Although Tottenham suppressed Stoke City in the scene and bombarded in the halftime, the score has not changed.

　　 It's not just that the score on the field hasn't changed. Tottenham suffered a blow just as early as the 14th minute of the game. Woodgate, who had just recovered from injury, was injured again!

　　 Looking at the injured Woodgate, Bell was speechless. This big brother's glass man attribute is more serious than himself.

In fact, Woodgate's performance in the early stage of the transfer to Tottenham is still good, and even once became the team's deputy captain, he also helped Tottenham score the only goal in the 2007-2008 season League Cup final, and Tottenham It was also because of this goal that they tied Chelsea in 120 minutes and finally won in the penalty shootout. This is Tottenham's victory in important championships again after nine years after 1999.

　　 But the good times didn't last long, and Woodgate quickly restored his glassman attributes. Before this game, he missed many games because of injury. Unexpectedly, he came back and played for more than ten minutes now, and he was going to end again.

　　Woodgate's position in this field is the central defender, he can not stick to the game, Lao Lei had to replace him with Dawson.

　　Bell secretly hurt, not only because of Woodgate's injury, and the two people's nearly similar fate, but also because he felt that he wanted to get a chance to play in this game, and there were far fewer.

　　………………

　　 After Tottenham completed the substitution, continue to suppress Stoke City on the scene. However, all the offenses were thunder, rain and little rain, and did not bring any goals.

　　 Soon, 45 minutes passed in the first half. In the first half of the game, Tottenham seemed to have a dominant advantage. Their possession rate was nearly 70%, and they completed a 9-foot shot, while their opponent Stoke City had only one shot.

　　After fifteen minutes of rest, the second half of the game continued. The situation on the court is still not much different from the first half. Tottenham pressed Stoke in the half to conduct an offensive and defensive drill.

　　Ten minutes after the second half started, Pulis played the first card. He replaced midfielder Glenn Whelan with Draper, known as the Popeye.

Drap is known for his strong throw-in. His superior arm strength allows him to send the ball directly into the opponent's penalty area from 30 meters away, and the accuracy and strength are suitable for teammates to fight for the top, and he often plays assists. Rory John Drap He can eat the entire English Premier League, and he has become the first person who is more expensive than football on the football field.

　　 Previously in Sunderland, Southampton, and Derbyshire, Rory John Drap was the outsourcing starter. Stoke City took a fancy to Drap’s unique skill, and loaned him from Sunderland two years ago~lightnovelpub.net~ Later, despite Drap’s leg injury, Stoke Decided to give him a long-term formal contract.

　　Stoke City signed him in January 2007 and has always tasted the sweetness from his "grenade". Some people said that it was Drap who threw Stoke City into the Premier League.

On September 14, 2008, Stoke challenged Everton away. With the outbound ball thrown by Rory John Drap, Stoke equalized the score twice, scaring Toffee coach Moyes out of a cold sweat After the game, he called Drapp a "manual chain".

　　 Pulis will add Drap to the starting list, mainly to use Drap's strong sideline ball. Pulis knows very well that with the strength of Stoke City, it is absolutely impossible to face the powerful Tottenham head-on. It must be an extraordinary victory.

　　 However, Stoke City was completely suppressed in this field, rarely receiving threatening frontline sidelines, leaving little room for Drap to play. In addition, Drapp is now thirty-three years old, and his physical strength has dropped rapidly. The game has been running for less than sixty minutes, and he has been unable to run.

　　Glen Whelan, who was born in Manchester City youth training, is now only 25 years old, is at its peak, and he has a tenacious style and good defense. Putting him on is conducive to Stoke City's defense.

　　Lao Lei saw the move, and soon made a substitution. In the 63rd minute of the game, he replaced the poorly performing captain Robbie Keane with striker Pavlyuchenko and continued to strengthen the team's offense.

　　 In fact, Lao Lei wanted to change the team's other striker, Defoe. Unfortunately, Defoe was sent a red card in the last round of the game because he maliciously stepped on his opponent. Now he is in a suspension period.

　　 Watching Lao Lei's substitutions, Bell was almost desperate. Now there is only one substitution left in the team, and the chances of him playing in this game are too small!
