The Ukrainian Super League did not start in the following week, and the first event was the first leg of the UEFA Cup 16th final.

Xu Qi had just stayed in Donetsk for a few days and was about to go with the team to London, England.

For the winter break, Xu Qi is on the list of teams, whether it is the league or the UEFA Cup.

Of course, if you participate in the competition, you may not be able to get a chance to play.

Judging from Xu Qi's current performance, he has the level of competing for the main players, but he cannot ensure that he becomes the main player.

They will challenge the British powerful Tottenham Hotspur Football Club away, and their opponents are powerful teams that are well-known in the Premier League. Even if several major Premier League clubs meet Tottenham, they have to think carefully.

North London, Tottenham, White Hart Lane.

Adapt to field training before the game.

"Is this the legendary White Hart Lane Stadium?" Xu Qi stared at the empty stands and began to imagine the scene when the stadium was full of fans.

“It’s really spectacular!”

The stadium has a capacity of 32,000 people, but it is not as large as the home stadium of the Donetsk Miners, but its modernization is much higher than the Shakhtior Stadium of the Donetsk Miners.

Of course, when the Donbas Arena, the new home of the Donetsk Miners, is completed, it will definitely be better than the White Hart Lane Stadium.

Just a pre-match adaptation to the field training, Xu Qi had already revealed his mood of playing in this stadium.

When it comes to the importance attached to the UEFA Cup, the Miners are obviously more important than Tottenham.

But this does not mean that Tottenham will send a full substitute lineup. According to pre-match media disclosures, Tottenham is likely to send a large number of starters. For them, the glory of the League Cup does not seem to be too easy to give up.

The famous Tottenham Hotspur team is naturally not a mysterious team. Lucescu also introduced the players to the opponent's team that need to be taken care of.

Including Gilberto da Silva, Gareth Bale, who has performed very well recently, and Dos Santos, who is known as Ronaldo in Mexico, are all players with excellent abilities.

At the pre-match press conference, the reporters' problems were mainly focused on the star players in both teams.

For example, Dos Santos in Tottenham, and William in the miners' team.

Of course, no one pays attention to a dispensable character like Xu Qi. Perhaps in the eyes of many English media, this guy who has never stopped his name may not be included in the 18-man roster. Even if he can enter the 18-man roster, it will definitely be inseparable from the starter.

The famous Sky Sports TV will also broadcast such an important Europa League contest, and the guests in the commentary seat are also famous.

English football celebrities including Ringer, McManaman, Redknapp Jr., Alan Hiller, etc. were all sitting in the commentary seat.

Stars in other countries like to be coaches after retirement, while stars in England like to be commentators after retirement.

This is not true at all. Perhaps in their opinion, the commentator is a job with less pressure and higher income.

In their opinion, the final result of being a coach is most likely to be fired. It is not easy to become an excellent coach in the UK. Almost the best coaches in the world are gathered here. It is indeed difficult to get a head coach contract in the Premier League, where there are many famous coaches. At the same time, it also has to bear huge pressure that others cannot bear.

Therefore, it is better to be a commentator to be at ease, just talk.

In front of the TV, several English football celebrities discussed the pre-match preview of this game, which was enjoyable.

"We know that the Donetsk Miners is an Eastern European team, which has wealth that is not inferior to the Premier League team, and their boss is said to be richer than Chelsea's boss Abu." Leinker said in surprise, "Oh my god, this is a very amazing wealth."

"So this team has a lot of Brazilian foreign players. In addition to Brazilian foreign players, the team only has domestic players from Ukraine and a small number of other Eastern European players, such as Croatia, Poland, and Serbia. But I think the reason why this team can play a lot of combat effectiveness is mainly because they have very talented Brazilian players, and all of these Brazilian players have the ability to play in the Premier League." McManaman also echoed.

"Actually, we saw that the 18-man roster of this team is not all from the places you mentioned. For example, I saw a player from China, which is really strange!" Alan Hiller was indeed a little surprised and told these commentators about his new discoveries.

"Oh my God, it's really amazing that there is a Chinese player."

"When was the last time I met a Chinese player? Maybe we didn't have any impression of it."

Several celebrities expressed their curiosity for a moment.

Redknapp Jr. pondered for a moment, then said, "This player is not important, isn't it? Maybe a Chinese player is strange, but it seems that his existence has no effect on this game."

What I want to say about this game is that the reason why this British celebrity named Redknapp Jr. is called Redknapp Jr. is because there is also an old Redknapp who is also very famous footballer in the UK. This old Lei is his father.

And the celebrity named Harry Redknapp, who is his father, is the head coach of Tottenham Hotspur!

"Yes, indeed, it doesn't matter." McManaman echoed.

Alan Shearer thought about it and said nothing. He also felt that there was nothing to refute. A Chinese player does seem very special in such a team and can make people quickly become curious about him.

But after thinking about it carefully, they will find that this Chinese player is of no use, so their topic quickly and completely bypassed Xu Qi.

Indeed, from the moment, Xu Qi is indeed not enough to attract anyone's attention.

In the team, Lucescu did not seem to plan to arrange Xu Qi into the starting lineup. Xu Qi could only sit on the bench of the visiting team at the White Hart Lane Stadium after the game started to watch the two-leg knockout match of the UEFA Cup.

Although he was on the 18-man list, he did not make it into the starting list, which really disappointed Xu Qi, but he felt that he was not without a chance.

Because he has shown all the abilities he should show during training, Lucescu actually has a relatively correct understanding of his abilities.

If the team is blocked during the game, it is very likely that it will be able to get a chance to play. Xu Qi himself is very clear about this.

Tottenham Hotspur is not an easy opponent, and the Miners will definitely use their own time.

At the same time, in the far east, there is also a group of people paying attention to the UEFA Cup 16th final.

Among them, there are a small number of Tottenham fans, but more people are concerned about the style of Xu Qi, a super rookie in the Chinese Super League last season, in the first official match in Europe.
