The Tottenham Hotspur team is not without good news. Gareth Bale's return from injury has given the Tottenham Hotspur team a shot in the arm.
Two consecutive victories in the league gave Tottenham Hotspur fans hope of the European war again.
This is the first time Li Mingyu has come to White Hart Lane Stadium. No, the current stadium has been officially renamed Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The name White Hart Lane Stadium has become history.
This stadium is one of the few hellish home stadiums in Premier League. None of Premier League's top teams have any good memories in this stadium.
However, Manchester City's record on this court in recent years is pretty good.
"Good evening, Tencent Sports viewers. Welcome to our broadcast. Today we bring you a quarter-final match of EFL Cup. The two teams are Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City."
"Tottenham Hotspur is currently ranked ninth in the league. However, Bale has been troubled by injuries since the start of the season. Now that they have finally recovered from injury, their offense has become more aggressive. The two consecutive wins in the league have given them hope for the European war."
"And Manchester City has maintained a 23-game winning streak in the league. This season, Manchester City has only lost one game and tied one in Champions League. It has maintained a record of complete victory in other games."
"Today's game is held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the home ground of Tottenham Hotspur."
"Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides first."
"Tottenham Hotspur plays at home with a 4-3-3 lineup. The starting goalkeeper is No. 1 France national goalkeeper Lloris. In this year's World Cup, Lloris starts the game on behalf of France National Team. Although he is thirty-five years old, he is still an immortal sword."
"The four defenders are Reguilon, Alderweireld, Alderweireld and Eric Dier."
"The three midfielders are, Harry Winks and Hojbjerg as double defensive midfielders. Lucas Moura as the attacking midfielder will be the starter today."
"Three forward players, Dele Alli is forward in the middle, the left winger is Bale who is returning from injury, and the right winger is South Korea star Son Heung-min who has performed very well recently."
"Manchester City's lineup hasn't changed much, it's the same 4-3-3 lineup."
"Goalkeeper Ederson, defense line, Zinchenko, Stones, Laporte and Walker's old partners, defensive midfielder Rodri, the attacking midfielders Gundogan and Li Mingyu, and the forward line is the trident combination of Sterling, Gabriel Jesus and Foden!"
"Let's take a look at today's quarter-finals of EFL Cup and see who will be the final winner."
Li Mingyu stands at the front of the team, standing side by side with the opponent's Son Heung-min.
The two looked at each other and smiled kindly.
Son Heung-min and Lee Mingyu are no strangers. This Korean has created history for Asians in the Premier League.
He once won the best player of the Premier League league and was nominated for Ballon d'Or, which shows that his ability has been recognized by the world.
In the current Tottenham Hotspur team, he has become a well-deserved first brother and the absolute core of the offense. Even Bale cannot take away his light.
In this World Cup, although the South Korea team failed to qualify in the group, in the game against the France National Team and Poland teams, the South Korea team played a very good offense. Son Heung-min also scored two goals in this World Cup, and the performance was very eye-catching.
In the recent two consecutive league games, Bale's return has completely unleashed Son Heung-min's offense. He scored three goals in the two games, helping the team win two consecutive victories, and the momentum is strong.
Son Heung-min couldn't help but look at the young man wearing a black jersey next to him.
Although Team South Korea was not able to meet Spain National Team in World Cup, Son Heung-min was very shocked by Li Mingyu's style.
In the opening game of this season, Son Heung-min saw the power of Li Mingyu. In that game, Li Mingyu, who was new to Premier League, did not feel any discomfort. He shot two shots and passed the ball. In the end, Manchester City bloodbathed the Tottenham Hotspur team 5:0 at home.
That battle left a deep impression on Son Heung-min. During the competition, Son Heung-min faced off against Li Mingyu many times, but did not take advantage once. Instead, Li Mingyu broke through several times.
Seeing Li Mingyu again this time, Son Heung-min felt that the domineering power of the other party was even stronger.
Don't be angry and be proud.
Is this the confidence of the World Cup champion and World Cup Golden Ball winner?
Son Heung-min's eyes flashed with deep envy.
The referee gave a greeting, and the players from both sides filed out of the tunnel.
The whole Tottenham Hotspur Stadium immediately burst into deafening applause and cheers.
Although fans feel that it is difficult for their team to defeat Manchester City, it is also a happy thing to see such a strong team.
Li Mingyu and Son Heung-min exchanged team flags and then started guessing.
Li Mingyu chose the court, while Son Heung-min chose to kick off first.
Players from both sides return to their own half, and the quarter-finals of EFL Cup are about to begin.
"Beep--" a crisp whistle sounded, and with the cheers of the fans in the audience, the game officially started.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and obtaining the passive talent of England celebrity Gary·Lineker: Football Gentleman.]
In Lineker's sixteen-year career, he never received a topaz War God card, so he was called the cleanest player on the football field. Football Gentleman's name spread like wildfire.
Football Gentleman: During the game, the host's chance of obtaining the topaz War God card is greatly reduced, and it can also reduce the probability of the opponent's malicious foul.
Seeing this introduction, Li Mingyu couldn't help but feel happy.
The former attribute is not of much significance to Li Mingyu, but the latter attribute is very powerful, reducing the probability of the opponent committing a malicious foul.
You must know that the most important indicator of whether any player can become a top star is his health.
Just like Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, these two peerless twins, why they became superstars is because they almost never encountered major injuries in their careers.
And like Ronaldo, no matter in terms of strength or honor, he had a chance to become the world champion, but injuries ruined him.
Countless superstars have been ruined by injuries.
This is why Li Mingyu values this talent so much.
In his home court, Li Mingyu is not afraid of any confrontation and has systematic protection. Li Mingyu has no possibility of injury.
But when it comes to away games or neutral stadiums, Li Mingyu becomes a little nervous.
Because of the injury last season, Li Mingyu lost the opportunity to compete with Champions League, and it also made him look so embarrassed when he left Barcelona.
This shadow has always been in Li Mingyu's heart and cannot be dispelled for a long time.
However, the acquisition of this talent today made Li Mingyu feel clear.
Tottenham Hotspur kicks off first.
Son Heung-min passed the ball to the midfielder and then started running forward.
Facing Manchester City's high-position press at the beginning, Tottenham Hotspur passed the ball to center back Alderweireld.
Alderweireld used his big foot to pass the ball to the frontcourt, hoping to see if he could sneak up on Manchester City in this way.
However, Tottenham Hotspur, who lost Harry Kane, did not have any high-altitude advantage. The ball was blocked by the midfielder Rodri, and he headed the ball out.
In the fight for the second landing point, Li Mingyu judged the position very accurately.
Li Mingyu stretched out his foot to reach the ball, but his other foot stretched out from the front.
Seeing that the two legs were about to touch each other, many viewers couldn't help but suck in the cold air.
If there was a collision, there would definitely be a possibility of injury.
Even Li Mingyu felt shuddering, but with an arrow on the string, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
Who would have known that when the two legs were about to touch each other, the other leg actually made a retracting movement, as if it was afraid of hurting Li Mingyu.
Li Mingyu poked with his toe, and the football fell in front of him.
Li Mingyu glanced at the person who was retracting his legs. It was Tottenham Hotspur's lower back Hojbjerg.
If I remember correctly, in the first game, Hojbjerg fouled himself very harshly.
When Li Mingyu passed by Hojbjerg, I was secretly glad in my heart. It seemed that the talent of this "Football Gentleman" was really impressive!
But Li Mingyu was not happy for long, feeling that his body was being pulled from behind.
The powerful force forced Li Mingyu, who was unprepared, to stand helplessly. When he looked back, he saw that it was Hojbjerg.
The referee's whistle sounded, but the referee only gave a verbal warning to Hojbjerg and did not directly draw the card.
Hojbjerg felt depressed for a while. He stretched out his feet just now to grab the ball, but suddenly he had an idea in his heart that he couldn't do this, so he involuntarily retracted his feet.
As the loyal supporter of Tottenham Hotspur, Hojbjerg has never been so kind and soft-hearted.
Even the head coach of Tottenham Hotspur roared angrily on the sidelines, "Hojbjerg, what on earth are you doing?"
How could a defensive midfielder choose to close his feet when he played the ball just now?
There is a 1/2 chance, even if you are injured, you have to go!
Taking the free kick, Manchester City's first attack began.
Li Mingyu kept running back and forth in Tottenham Hotspur's half. The football was at his feet, as if it had spirituality. Tottenham Hotspur's players could not touch the football at his feet.
After several consecutive passes, Li Mingyu suddenly turned sideways and sent the football to the right side of the court, passing it to Foden who was inserted on the right side.
Phil Foden, who is only 22 years old this year, came from Manchester City's youth training camp and is a very outstanding player.
After receiving the ball, Foden used his speed to eat up the opposing full-back Reguilon, and then dribbled the ball toward the baseline.
