Tottenham Hotspur got the right to kick off.

"This is the 2018/2019 Champions League final, with Arsenal vs. Tottenham Hotspur. The two teams moved the derby to the Champions League final!"

Andy Gray's voice was obviously much louder.

Facing such a heavyweight game, even Andy Gray, who is used to commentating the game, felt a little nervous and expectant.

"After Harry Kane's comeback, Tottenham's overall lineup has been greatly improved, and their performance in the league and the Champions League is even more exciting."

"When facing Arsenal, can they show their previous competitive state?"

"For Arsenal, this is a key battle for their fifth championship. In this season, Arsenal has created a miraculous season. They have won four championships including the League Cup, FA Cup, Community Shield, and League Championship without losing!"

"And this game is also the most important game. Can they win the last game and continue their legendary season and win the five championships at the same time!"

Andy Gray's words made Arsenal fans far away in London even more excited.

Although they were unable to go to the scene, they could not miss this crucial game.

Arsenal vs. Tottenham.

This is not only a derby between mortal enemies, but also the beginning of their glory.

And they believe that Arsenal can win.

Similarly, Tottenham fans are constantly cheering for the home team. They have failed many times, and they don't want to fail again in such an important event.

Once they lose this game, they can imagine the hateful faces of Arsenal fans. For this reason, this is a game that must be won.

Amid the fierce cheers of the fans of both teams, the referee completed the final adjustment, withdrew from the penalty area, and blew the Shaoyin.

The sharp whistle resounded throughout the stadium, followed by intense cheers.

Harry Kane also kicked off immediately amid the cheers, and the Arsenal players also pressed forward directly.

"Arsenal launched a fierce pressing directly after the opening, which is not to give the rhythm of the game to Tottenham, and put more pressure in the pressing. In the case of trying to steal, they can continue to press!"

After the start, Arsenal showed a positive pressing attitude and put great pressure on Tottenham.

Under pressure, Tottenham retreated step by step, while also looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Suddenly, Winks met the return ball and made a long pass directly.

The ball flew to Harry Kane in the frontcourt.

Harry Kane took the lead in standing at the landing point, carrying Jimenez, waiting for the ball to stop.

At this moment, Lekai suddenly appeared beside Harry Kane.

Although Lekai did not exert pressure, his sudden appearance still frightened Harry Kane and his mentality was a little fluctuating.

This also caused him to fail to stop the ball steadily when he stopped it.

After the ball was stopped, the ball flew about two meters away.

And Lekai took a step forward and inserted forward, blocking Harry Kane behind him while protecting the ball.

After Arsenal got the ball, Lekai directly transferred the ball to the wing.

Aubameyang retreated to receive the ball. He played a two-on-one with Wilshere and wanted to pass Ali, but Ali actively retreated and cooperated with the full-back to fix Aubameyang firmly on the wing.

In desperation, Aubameyang could only try to cross the ball.

The ball flew to the penalty area. Vertonghen and Alderweireld cooperated well. They suppressed Giroud and easily headed the ball to Eriksen who was retreating.

After holding the ball, Eriksen looked around and did not rush to attack. Instead, after passing the ball, he pressed with both hands to make a stable rhythm.

Immediately, he began to shuttle among the crowd and take on the work of a passing hub.

"Sure enough, the most suitable position for Eriksen is central midfielder, especially after letting him retreat, giving him enough space to move, so as to ensure the control of the ball."

In the past, when Tottenham used Eriksen, they always hoped that he would control the rhythm under the opponent's pressure.

Not to mention whether Eriksen has such ability, the opponent's pressure alone is enough for him to eat a pot.

For this reason, invisibility is also a common thing.

After Pochettino's rectification, Eriksen got enough space to move, and no longer needed to keep moving forward, so his performance was much more stable.

In the continuous passing, Tottenham was also looking for opportunities to break through the defense.

But Arsenal's defense was very good.

At this time, Harry Kane suddenly retreated to receive the ball.

After Eriksen shook off Wilshere, he immediately passed the ball to him.

Harry Kane made a lateral pass, trying to pass the ball to Son Heung-min.

But when he passed the ball, Kante suddenly rushed out from behind and intercepted the ball with his chest.

"Oh~~~ Kante! Excellent defensive position judgment! He blocked the passing channel between Harry Kane and Sun."

Andy Gray shouted loudly.

In the past, the connection between Harry Kane and Sun Xingmin made the opponent feel extremely hateful.

But in this game, Arsenal obviously had defensive arrangements in this regard, and Kante's sudden interception was a favorable proof.

"Damn it!"

Harry Kane frowned, turned his head and rushed over to grab the ball.

Sun Xingmin did not stay there either, and the two of them wanted to grab the ball.

But Kante did not linger on the ball at all, and he passed the ball to Lucky.

After Lucky scored, he arched his butt and pushed Ali away. After making room for movement, he immediately kicked the ground to start.

Lucky dribbled forward and did not pass it to Wilshere.

And Wilshere also knew that he should make up for the defense, and he had no intention of moving forward at all.

Lucky took the ball directly to Tottenham's half, and when the opponent was about to grab the ball, he took a long shot.

This long shot was powerful and extremely concealed.

But Lori was also concentrating, he reacted instantly and saved the ball.

"This is a cold shot!

Lori's reaction was very timely. After seeing that his teammates had no chance, Kai chose to shoot from a distance. The quality of this shot was very high, flying close to the grass. It can be said that this long shot was a great test of the goalkeeper's landing speed, but Lori reacted quickly and completed the save. However, Arsenal also got the first corner kick opportunity of the game!"

After Andy Gray finished speaking, Richard rubbed his hands in anticipation; "This is Arsenal's corner kick! What kind of cooperation can they play?"

Wilshere took a corner kick.

There was no corner kick tactic, and the ball flew into the penalty area.

Giroud struggled to head the ball and smashed it into the goal.

However, the ball was not in the right position. It bounced off Vertonghen's feet. Aubameyang wanted to make a supplementary shot, but he was held tightly by Alderweireld. Goalkeeper Lori took this opportunity to immediately protect the ball under his body.

Spurs once again avoided the risk of losing the ball.

At the beginning of the game, Arsenal's continuous attack made Tottenham's defense shaky.

And the Arsenal fans who saw this scene became more excited.

After all, they were more dominant on the field.

At the same time, in the VIP room, Florentino couldn't help shouting "good ball" when Lekai took a long shot. When the goalkeeper saved it, he showed a regretful expression again.

His reaction made Usmanov show a strange expression, and there was a trace of vigilance under this expression.

What does it mean?

Kai is an Arsenal player?

What's your name!

However, the shot and the corner kick were indeed beautiful, and Usmanov clapped his hands with a smug look on his face.

On the other hand, Levy was a little silent.

Although the game had just started, Tottenham's situation seemed to be a little wrong.

And when facing Arsenal, Tottenham's record was really not impressive. After combining these, Levy became even more worried.
