"Hello, everyone, and welcome to the rescheduled match of the 2010-2011 Premier League season, Round 28, Tottenham Hotspur vs. Arsenal."
"The result of this match will determine whether Arsenal can secure the Premier League title early."
"Currently, Arsenal leads the Premier League by 17 points. With only 6 matches left in the League, Arsenal will secure the championship early if they win this match."
"Of course, we all know that Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal are arch-rivals, and Tottenham surely doesn't want to see their arch-rival win the title early at their home ground."
"From this perspective... this match is still full of highlights."
"Alright, the Main Referee has now led both teams onto the field. Let's take a look at the starting lineups announced by both sides."
"Tottenham Hotspur, playing at home, is fielding a 4-3-3 formation for this match."
"Goalkeeper: Gomes."
"Defenders: Gallas, Michael Dawson, Assou-Ekotto, Ćorluka."
"Midfielders: Modric, Van der Vaart, Huddlestone."
"Forwards: Bale, Pavlyuchenko, Crouch."
"The away team, Arsenal, has set up in their familiar 4-4-2 formation."
"Goalkeeper: Szczęsny."
"Defenders: Sagna, Varane, Jérôme Boateng, Clichy."
"Midfielders: Diaby, Alexandre Song, Fabregas, Nasri."
"Forwards: Fly, Suarez."
"It's clear that Arsenal is taking this match very seriously. Apart from the injured Van Persie and Wilshere, everyone else is essentially a starter."
"Even Jérôme Boateng, who is replacing Koscielny, is only playing because the French defender is experiencing muscle fatigue."
"Alright... the Main Referee has blown the whistle to start the match. Let's get into the game..."
After the match began, the Tottenham players were very excited, clearly ready to give their all in this match about dignity.
In the 1st minute of the match.
Bale overtook his marker on the wing and then swept the ball into the center, but it was cleared in time by Jérôme Boateng.
In the 3rd minute of the match.
Bale repeated his trick, once again beating Clichy and forcing his way into the box for an inside cut and curling shot.
Unfortunately, Bale's shooting skills at this point were not yet fully developed; he was not the Great Sage who could soar through clouds in the future.
Szczęsny easily collected this not-so-tricky curling shot...
In the 5th minute of the match.
Tottenham's midfield was intercepted by Alexandre Song, and the ball immediately went to Fabregas's feet.
The moment Cesc Fàbregas controlled the ball, he seamlessly executed a quick Marseille turn, easily evading Modric, who was attempting to tackle him from behind. He then took two steps forward, spotted an opportunity, and delivered a through pass.
The ball easily sliced through Tottenham's weak defense.
Fly had already accelerated the moment Fabregas made the through pass, easily shaking off his shadow, Gallas.
"Damn it... this brat is so slippery, I can't catch him at all..."
Gallas, the former Arsenal captain, was completely furious when he saw Fly once again completely outplay him.
god knows what it felt like for him this season, watching his old club in Tottenham dominate both the Premier League and Champions League, destroying everything in their path?
Now he regretted it immensely...
If it weren't for the fallout with Arsenal's current crown prince in their last encounter, Gallas would have shamelessly begged Wenger to allow him to return home.
However, he knew that given Fly's level of dislike for him, this wish was definitely out of the question...
So, Gallas now only wanted to prove himself as much as possible.
He wanted to tell the world that even if he left Arsenal, he could still do very well!
Arsenal's loss was Arsenal's loss without him...
With this mindset, Gallas's defense against Fly was truly exhaustive.
However, the reality of the skill gap completely nullified Gallas's efforts...
Against a super-fast player, he was simply helpless!
After shaking off Gallas, Fly easily caught up to the ball. Facing Gomes, who had come out halfway and then stopped, he flicked his ankle and gently pushed the ball into the far corner.
Even with all his might, Gomes couldn't prevent the ball from slipping through his fingertips, only able to watch as it rolled over the goal line, creating a white splash.
Thanks to Fly's lightning-fast goal, Arsenal took an early lead of 1-0 against Tottenham Hotspur.
"GOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"
"Number 13, Fly Adams!!!"
"It's Fly again, it's this man again! In a match that determines the championship, he has once again stepped up, scoring a goal for Arsenal in less than 5 minutes since the start of the match. He's simply unstoppable!"
"Arsenal takes an early lead of 1-0 against Tottenham Hotspur, gaining the upper hand in this North London Derby."
"Tottenham Hotspur, how will you respond?"
When Fly scored this goal, the Tottenham fans at the stadium collectively booed...
Tottenham fans were very unenthusiastic about Fly, the "culprit" who caused their arch-rival to rise.
Even knowing that Fly was likely to play for the England national football team.
It didn't stop Tottenham fans from disliking him...
After all, the national team is the national team, and the club is the club; they are completely different matters and cannot be confused!
Not to mention Fly hadn't even played for the England national football team yet.
Even if he did, they would still criticize him as they pleased...
In the 7th minute of the match.
Perhaps Arsenal scoring first at their home ground made the Tottenham Hotspur players lose a bit of face, and their retaliation came swiftly.
There wasn't much tactical play, just a cross from the byline by Ćorluka.
Van der Vaart suddenly surged forward from outside the box, delivering a diving header. The ball, like a cannonball, smashed into the goal, and Szczęsny was powerless to stop it...
After Fly scored, Tottenham Hotspur quickly equalized with a lightning-fast header from the Dutch Golden Boy, Van der Vaart.
1-1, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are tied.
"GOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"
"Number 11, Van der Vaart!!!"
"After Fly opened the scoring, the former Dutch Golden Boy refused to be outdone and responded."
"Fly and Van der Vaart, one is the new Golden Boy Award winner, and the other is the first Golden Boy Award winner. They both scored a goal for their respective teams, and this scene looks like a long-distance duel between Golden Boy Award winners..."
"Will the new Golden Boy Award winner triumph, or will the first Golden Boy Award winner prove superior? Let's continue watching!"
Van der Vaart's goal ignited cheers from the Tottenham fans in the stadium, and the Tottenham players on the field excitedly embraced Van der Vaart.
In the 13th minute of the match.
Diaby seemed possessed by Pogba, delivering a flat through pass from near the center circle that directly cut through Tottenham's midfield and defense, entering a dangerous area.
Nasri, who had been waiting on the wing for a good opportunity to surge forward, seized the chance. After receiving the ball, he took a powerful touch, easily broke into the box, and found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper.
Facing the onrushing Gomes, Nasri, just like Fly's goal moments earlier, pushed the ball into the far corner, sending it into the net.
Arsenal 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur, taking the lead once again!
"GOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"
"Number 8, Nasri!!!"
"Oh my god... look at Diaby's through pass, at least 40 meters long. It's as if god himself is playing on the field..."
"Undeniably, Diaby's talent is unparalleled, but he has been plagued by frequent injuries, making it difficult for him to play more than 15 games in a season for Arsenal!"
"If Diaby could stay healthy, with the talent and ability he has shown, he would be one of the strongest midfielders in today's football world."
"It's just a pity... injuries are also part of a player's career. Football history is full of natural talents with historical-level potential who were ruined by injuries."
"Diaby is one of those unfortunate individuals."
Fly didn't know what Martin Tyler was saying.
If he did, he would only agree profoundly...
He couldn't say it for other players, but using those words to describe Diaby was absolutely spot on.
You know, historically, the only player Pogba himself admitted was better than him was Diaby.
In 2018, after Pogba's dominant performance made him a major contributor to France winning the World Cup in Russia, he said in an interview with reporters:
"Only Diaby at his peak was better than me."
To gain recognition from the unruly wizard, Diaby's strength is beyond doubt!
It's just because of injury problems... those who know, know.
Fly just didn't have a cheat that could make his teammates immune to injuries.
Otherwise, he would have used it on Diaby long ago.
Because in terms of pure talent, in this current Arsenal team, no one can compare to Diaby except Fly.
Of course, these thoughts only remained in his mind; the reality was that Diaby was a super fragile player.
Frequent injuries made it difficult for him to improve.
Over time, he naturally could only be a humble substitute...
In the 41st minute of the match.
Fabregas once again delivered a surgical through pass, cutting through Tottenham's defense.
Suarez, who successfully beat the offside trap, received the ball and scored while holding off Assou-Ekotto.
Arsenal 3-1 Tottenham Hotspur, extending their lead once again.
In less than half a half, Arsenal had already scored a total of 3 goals.
One can only say that Tottenham's defense was like paper...
A certain great demon king hadn't even entered his second-half special, and the game was already almost decided.
From this, it can be seen that the current Tottenham's level is really quite poor...
Real Madrid winning 5-1 against Tottenham over two legs really doesn't mean much.
It seemed dominant, but it was only because the opponent's level was too low.
Once they encountered a high-level match, they immediately revealed their true colors.
"GOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"
"Suarez!!!"
"Fabregas assists the Uruguay to score another goal for Arsenal, 3-1, Arsenal's lead has extended to two goals!"
"I never expected the pace of this match to turn out like this..."
"Arsenal has already scored three goals before halftime, which is just too unusual."
"We all know that Arsenal usually starts their goal-scoring spree in the second half, which is closely related to the exclusive time of their top scorer, Fly."
"We all know that Fly usually enters a highly efficient goal-scoring phase after 60 minutes, and at this point, Fly can often score two, or even three goals!"
"That is to say, as long as Arsenal's goal difference is not negative three before 60 minutes, they can quickly catch up or even overtake the score."
"This was even more evident in the two matches against Barcelona!"
"But now, Arsenal is already leading Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 by two goals in the first half. Is there still any suspense in this match?"
