The FA Cup entered the fifth round of contention, and in a focus battle, Spurs welcomed Middlesbrough away. Tottenham Hotspur is the most miserable of the traditional top 6 teams in the Premier League, since winning the English League Cup in 2007-08, in the following 15 years, the team has been completely out of the grain, has completely become a pseudo-giant team, Conte's appointment, for the FA Cup this event attaches great importance to, looking forward to winning the title for Tottenham.
After the opening, Tottenham Hotspur played very actively, and there were signs of a counter-attack. In the 10th minute, Doherty crossed from the right, but Sesseignon, who was wrapped up at the back post, did not play the ball and missed a great chance to score. In the 36th minute, Kane also missed the opportunity to wrap up the shot from the back point, and 1 minute later, Tottenham's best chance of the first half came, in the counterattack, Kulusevsky sent a precise long pass from the outside of his left foot, and Doherty, who was inserted at high speed, calmly shook off the attacking goalkeeper, but in the face of the empty goal, Doherty's shot was high above the crossbar, and Spurs missed the goal.
After the adjustment of the midfield, Tottenham's offensive side did not diminish. Kane's free-kick threatened in the 49th minute and Dell's high-quality free-kick in the 58th minute tested the opposing goalkeeper. Finally, in the 59th minute, Spurs scored. In the corner strategy, Kane in the penalty area received a header from his teammate and volleyed to complete the goal, but after the referee's judgment, Kane was sentenced to corporal offside, and Spurs still had no chance to rewrite the score. In the 81st minute, Belwyn scored into the penalty area and nearly created a penalty. In the 93rd minute, Spurs made the last attack, but unfortunately Son Heung-min's unguarded header was deflected and the two sides went into extra time.
In extra time, Tottenham Hotspur is still unable to attack for a long time, and as time goes by, their mentality is becoming more and more impatient. Sure enough, when the game reached the 106th minute, Middlesbrough, which had been silent all along, ushered in an outbreak. They played consecutively on the right side of the wall, and then the 19-year-old Coburn entered the box, facing World Cup champion Goalkeeper Lowry, the youngster did not panic, he chose to burst into the far corner of the goal, the ball flew into the net, the score was rewritten to 1-0. The rest of the time, Kane and Son Xingyu still had a chance, but they did not win, and the score was frozen.
In this game, Tottenham Hotspur played very hot, but it was Middlesbrough who laughed to the end. From the statistics after the game, it can be seen that the ball control rate of the whole team of Mibao is as high as 53%, and Tottenham Hotspur is only 47%, to know that Mibao and Tottenham have a considerable gap in strength, and it is very remarkable to be able to lead Spurs by 6 percentage points. In terms of the number of shots on goal, the two sides each have 10 times, which can be said to be indistinguishable, and it can only be said that Tottenham's ability to grasp opportunities in this game is too poor, and eventually led to defeat.
After this game, Tottenham Hotspur also completely declared the FA Cup out. Following the League Cup out, Tottenham Hotspur on both fronts are early exits to compete for the title, in the Premier League they are currently only 7th, the situation of fighting for the fourth is not optimistic. In addition, the Asian king Son Heung-min was strongly responsible for this game by teammate Dale, the England international believes that Son Heung-min will only attack in the game, completely without retreating, resulting in Mi fort playing a rapid counterattack many times, and eventually led to the team's loss of the ball, as a top superstar worth up to 80 million euros, I am afraid that Son Xingyu is also very broken in his heart, to know that Dell is only worth 22 million euros, losing the ball is also the responsibility of the whole team, and now it is pointed at the nose.
Seeing this, Wu Lei, a Chinese player who also stayed in the five major leagues, was afraid to sneak a smile. After all, the outside world has always thought that Son Xingyu's strength is stronger than Wu Lei' performance in the club, but now in front of the world's audience, being scolded by teammate Dale also shows that Son Xingyu's position in the club is just like this, although his goals are more than Wu Lei, but in Tottenham he still has no sense of belonging, it can be said that the situation of Wu Lei is very similar.
