Chapter 254: The ship of friendship capsizes just like that? Gualin, doing this will leave you friendless!_3
Tang Long could only silently give a thumbs up to Ranocchia and softly said, "As expected of my old captain!"
Originally, Tottenham had equalized twice and overtaken the score, but now Manchester City has scored twice in succession, becoming the side that overtakes.
This dramatic turn of events left Tottenham players' hearts in turmoil!
With the match nearing its end, the 60,000 fans at White Hart Lane started booing.
No one was more upset than Gualin!
The Colombian star was really angry today!
Having moved from Inter Milan to Tottenham, he scored in his Premier League debut against the formidable Manchester City, securing both of his team's goals with what he considered world-class long shots!
In front of 60,000 fans, he made Hart the background twice, Gualin was once very proud~
His mind began to imagine vividly, winning the single-game MVP, being admired in the locker room, gracing the newspaper headlines, becoming a hot topic!
But Manchester City's counterattack shattered his beautiful vision.
Gualin possesses the innate South American tenacity unwilling to admit defeat.
After the match restarted, in the remaining seven or eight minutes, Gualin became the most prominent figure on the field.
In a corner kick contest, Gualin jumped high, placing his elbow directly onto Ranocchia's arm, who is 10 centimeters taller, forcibly knocking him down, almost dislocating Ranocchia's arm.
Subsequently, he launched a frenzied close combat against Tang Long, who orchestrated Manchester City's two consecutive goals!
"Damn it, I don't believe I can't stop you, Chinese!"
Like a mad dog, he continuously exerted physical interference on Tang Long.
Wherever Tang Long ran, Gualin followed.
Like sticky candy, relentlessly clinging to him.
Using pulling and tugging, he repeatedly displayed tackle-based defense on Tang Long.
"Are you out of your mind?" Tang Long asked perplexed.
"Stop babbling, this is the Premier League, here football is all about physicality, can't handle it, don't play Premier League, go back to the soft Serie A!" Gualin was clearly emotionally unstable.
Live broadcast room.
-[What's up with Gualin? I feel like the 21 players from both teams combined aren't competing as hard as he is!]
-[Do you even need to ask? You score twice, but your team still loses, how do you feel; those goals are in vain!]
-[He can compete against people, but why Tang Long? They were teammates at Inter Milan!]
-[Who knows, Gualin has always had a bad temper at Inter Milan and there were rumors that he clashed with Icardi and Ranocchia because he tackled Tang Long violently in training!]
-[Gualin is obviously jealous of Tang Long, damn it, if he injures Tang Long, I'm flying to London to deal with him!]
-[Gee, Gualin really shouldn't have done this, after all, they were old teammates who won championships together at Inter Milan, although they serve different masters now, some camaraderie should still be maintained.]
In the midst of their mutual struggle, Tang Long also got angry, and simply engaged in a real battle with Gualin.
If you disregard old ties, I won't be polite either!
The third minute of injury time in the second half.
Ranocchia holding the ball at the center-back position, executed a fake pass followed by a step-over move, cleanly bypassing the exhausted Kane, then he passed the ball to Tang Long.
"There's a thief behind you!"
Ranocchia shouted, seeing Gualin charging in like a hungry wolf from behind Tang Long.
Tang Long didn't hesitate, using the momentum from Ranocchia's pass, tapped the left side of the ball lightly with the outside of his right foot, instantly stopping and passing, slipping past Gualin as if skating on ice, then accelerated forward.
In this confrontation, Gualin didn't gain any advantage because he couldn't get close to Tang Long!
Tang Long's speed isn't the fastest, but his initial burst is lightning quick.
Seeing himself being overtaken by Tang Long, Gualin's head heated up momentarily, rushing forward two steps and aimed a desperate tackle at Tang Long's ankle!
Behind them, Ranocchia watched anxiously, he didn't even have time to shout.
Because Gualin's tackle was lightning fast, about to reach Tang Long's ankle, given Gualin's weight and strength, this scissor tackle going down could cause injury to the ankle, but more importantly, if it twisted Tang Long's cruciate ligament, it would be devastating to his career!
Gualin is actually a person who values bonds.
Although he had friction with Tang Long when he first joined the first team due to position issues, he eventually fully surrendered to Tang Long's skills, and they even became brothers.
He just had an overly simple-minded approach, easily gets agitated, this harmful tackle aimed at Tang Long's ankle was him losing it.
Nearby, several Tottenham teammates visibly gasped, knowing this reckless tackle would surely lead to a red card.
Losing to Manchester City isn't shameful! A 2:3 score is already good, but if Gualin is suspended for several games due to a retaliatory foul, that would truly be a loss outweighing the gain for the team!
Yet, Tottenham players can't possibly yank Gualin off the field.
They could only watch helplessly as his studded shoes glinted coldly, sliding toward Tang Long's back...
