"We are very disappointed that we have not been able to beat a team with 10 players, and we still need to continue to work hard to usher in a new year", Kane, the core team who led the team to win the game after the game, said this slightly disappointed. And the team's head coach Conte also said: "We have to be disappointed, you have to take advantage of this situation when there is only 1 person on the other side. ”
In this match against Southampton, Conte's team played a full 4 games in the 18th-28th, of which there were only 48 hours from 26th To 28th Beijing time; On the contrary, the opponent Southampton only played 2 games during this period due to the epidemic and other reasons, which can be said to be quite relaxed, which is also part of the reason for the pizza.
lineup
Hasenhüttle's side line up a five-back formation in this game, with three centre-backs consisting of Valery, Bednarek and Salisu, while the left and right wing-backs were Perro and Walker Peters, who played southampton in the left-back position due to an injury to Liflamento before the game. The return of the key figure in the midfield, "Brother Moon landing" Armstrong, provided key help to the team.
Tottenham continue to use Conte's favorite 3 centre-backs, he has a 3-4-2-1 lineup, the three centre-backs are composed of Ben Davis, Dale, Davidson Sanchez, and their front is a trio of Son Heung-min, Alli and Kane. Quite unexpectedly, Conte gave Ali another chance, hoping that he would perform better in this game.
Race conditions
Due to being at home, Southampton's offensive momentum in the first 10 minutes of the first half was very fierce, which was also the request of head coach Hasen Hüttle. However, there was a small episode in the middle, and in the 14th minute, Tottenham Hotspur's set-piece attacked Ben Davis's header directly through the opponent's goal, although the final penalty was blown offside and was blown to no avail, but this goal did inspire the morale of the whole team.
However, the strong dragon did not suppress the snake, and in the 24th minute Southampton took the lead in scoring the goal, Salisú threw the ball into the tottenham hot spot on the left side, and the defender's release of the ball came to ward Prouss' feet, who took advantage of the trend and pried open Lowry's ten-finger mark, 1-0, Southampton led.
After that, in the 27th minute, Salisú received a yellow card, followed by a second yellow card for Son Heung-min, who tripped and broke into the penalty area in the 39th minute, and the penalty was firmly scored by Kane, and the score became 1-1. After this red card, Southampton also became the second most red card team in the same period under head coach Hasson Hüttle, only behind Arsenal.
After the start of the second half, facing southampton with one less player, Spurs gradually took control of the situation, their possession reached a staggering 65%, and in the 53rd minute Kane scored another wonderful goal and was blown up again! However, through the replay, we can see that this penalty is debatable, it is simply an offside of the body hair level. Then the underperforming Alli was directly replaced by Lucas Jr., and although he worked the defensive end 3 this game, his spirituality was completely missing on the offensive end. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of Tottenham Hotspur in the second half, Southampton still stubbornly resisted one less game, and finally the two teams fought a 1-1 draw.
Post-match situation
As we said before, both teams have a happy ending, Southampton side due to the last defeat at West Ham United counted the previous 6 games they are already 1 win, 4 draws and 1 loss, which is quite good for a relegation team, and after the game, one less person to fight they are also frankly quite satisfied with the result of this game.
After the end of the last game of the year, Although Tottenham is not very satisfied, the good news is that in conte's 7 league games, they have already won 4 wins and 3 draws, which is also creating Tottenham history. The post-match star of this match was also awarded to the team No. 7, the Asian light Son Heung-min from South Korea, and what is even more surprising is that in the 10 games of Tottenham, basically 78 games are the best in the whole game or the best in the team, which is really the team's thigh.
