The six-goal sweep of West Ham United made Tottenham Hotspur completely the darling of major British media the next day. Even in the same round, Arsenal defeated Reading 40, Manchester United defeated his arch rival Liverpool 0, and Chelsea defeated Portsmouth, but Tottenham Hotspur's game still occupied a very important section and a large space for the media.

It is natural for Arsenal and Chelsea to win, and Manchester United beat Liverpool, which is also natural for the front page headlines, but Tottenham Hotspur beat West Ham United, which undoubtedly became the focus of most fans in this round.

Perhaps it is because Tottenham's performance has always given people a very bad feeling since this season, or perhaps it is because all fans have certain expectations for Tottenham, hoping that Ye Qiu's team can get out of the trough and rise strongly.

In addition to making a lot of reports and comments on this game, the Daily Telegraph also specifically mentioned the outside world's impression of Tottenham Hotspur in a comment, which is actually not too bad.

"Currently, the Premier League has played nine rounds, Tottenham Hotspur has won three wins, two draws and four losses. Such a report card is indeed bad for a team that has always been determined to win the league championship, and it can even be said to be very bad. But for a team that is originally a mid-range team and has undergone reorganization, such a ranking is not unacceptable."

"The reason why the outside world has been hyping up Tottenham's poor performance is largely due to Ye Qiu and Tottenham's operations in the transfer market in the summer. But we must also see that Ye Qiu has been away from the mainstream league for a year, and perhaps he himself will need some time to re-adapt to such a league rhythm."

"The facts are not objective about Tottenham Hotspur's investment of over 100 million, because Tottenham Hotspur has sold several core players, including Carrick, Lennon, Robbie Keane, and Ridley King. Their transfer income is also over 100 million, which makes Tottenham Hotspur not investing much in the transfer market."

"So, maybe someone will ask, why have the players changed so much?"

"We should note that Tottenham Hotspur is playing a tactical style that is completely different from their past. Tottenham Hotspur has always attached great importance to the European continental style. From Santini to Yoll, and even Frank Aneson, who serves as technical director, all of them take the foreign aid route, but whether it is Santini or Yoll, they are obviously more pragmatic."

"Ye Qiu's team has an impressive part of this season, that is, the two biggest Premier League wins so far this season have appeared in them, with 0 wins of Sheffield United, 0 wins of West Ham United in the same city, and 0 wins of Portsmouth Hotspur. Tottenham Hotspur has played very well in these three games."

"So, many people say that Tottenham Hotspur is not capable, which is completely wrong. This team is indeed capable, and they played even better than Arsenal in these three wins, and it is even more amazing offensive football. The tide of offensive is almost unforgettable. If you don't believe it, you can ask the fans of White Hart Lane Stadium, and they will tell you the real answer that cannot be found in the media."

"Ye Qiu must have made a mistake, there is no doubt that he has been away from football for a year, and the past year may have been too lax, which has made him not handle many details well enough. For example, the midfielder he paid the most in the past, but now he has not shown it in Tottenham Hotspur. Fabregas and Mascherano are a fixed combination, but the third midfielder is Yaya Toure or veteran Davis. Ye Qiu seems to be still adjusting and trying, and even playing West Ham United in the second half of his attempt to become 3."

"From these signs, we can see that Ye Qiu is trying out the lineup and changes, and this is not just now. Even at the beginning of the season, he has been trying repeatedly between Yaya Toure and Davis, but the effects are both good and bad. Davis performed very badly in the game against Chelsea."

"But everyone should not forget that the average age of this team is the lowest in the Premier League. Many main players in the team are around 20 years old, which makes this team still have long-term potential to explore. Therefore, Ye Qiu said that the team can play better and better, this is definitely not just empty talk, but fact."

"Of course, we must also see that with Tottenham Hotspur's current performance, it is almost impossible for this team to make a difference in the Premier League this season. Even if they enter the top four of the league, it may be very difficult. Maybe they can make a difference next season."

Compared with the Daily Telegraph, the Sun's comments are very sharp, with the title "Ye Qiu with a tough life, Tottenham with a tough life]

In this report, reporters from the Sun believe that Tottenham Hotspur only won three games this season, which is completely inconsistent with the team's transfer investment of over 100 million in the summer transfer market, and even disappointed all fans' expectations for them. However, this team is very life-threatening and always wins a refreshing victory at the most critical moment to resolve the team's crisis.

"I lost to Bolton in the first round, and immediately beat Sheffield United in the second round. The team regained their morale, but then they were either tied or lost. But this team quickly defeated Portsmouth and 0 slaughtered the Hammers, which turned the situation unfavorable to the team. Apart from saying that Ye Qiu and his team were tough, we really couldn't think of any other statement."

"But we must also see that relying solely on life will not last the whole season. If Ye Qiu does not solve the troubles and difficulties currently encountered by the team, I believe that the anger in their hearts will sooner or later be exhausted. At that time, Tottenham Hotspur will enter the top four, not to mention the top ten will become a problem."

Even after slapping West Ham United by 0, Tottenham Hotspur's Premier League points ranking is only 13, but the overall strength of this team is still quite favorable. At least everyone thinks that there is no problem in the top ten, but it is very difficult to enter the top four, because Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are all very strong in performance and strength.

Moreover, Tottenham Hotspur still has a serious problem this season, that is, the ups and downs are too big

When you perform well, you can win with great victories, but when you perform poorly, you can even score goals. This is definitely not something a strong team should have. If you want to enter the top four, in addition to being strong enough, the most important thing is to have stable points.

Moyes' Everton was able to enter the top four because they scored points well and were not stable. Don't expect to make a difference in the long season. This is something that no team, including Chelsea and Manchester United, cannot avoid.

After playing West Ham United, the team ushered in the first game of the League Cup in the middle of the week. The opponent was Wimbledon, the former gangster Wimbledon, but now it is renamed Milton Keynes. Many fans who are dissatisfied with the team's migration to Milton Keynes reorganized a new gangster. This team is currently playing in the low-level league.

Even though it moved to Milton Keynes and changed its name, this team that was once a leader in the Premier League still failed to get out of the predicament. It currently plays in the English League Two, namely the fourth-level league in England after the Premier League, the Championship and the English League One.

Even though Tottenham Hotspur played away, it still defeated Milton Keynes 5-0 away and successfully advanced to the next round. The opponent in the next round was not strong, from Port Vier in the League One.

Ye Qiu was still very satisfied with Tottenham Hotspur's draw in the quarterfinals knockout draw. For this reason, he smiled in an interview that the goddess of luck still favors Tottenham Hotspur, at least not like some other Premier League teams, such as Arsenal vs. Everton, and Chel died vs. Aston Villa.

Of course, there are also some unlucky Premier League teams that have been upset and eliminated, such as Blackburn, Portsmouth, Bolton, etc., who were upset and eliminated in the first game that Premier League teams participated in. Relatively speaking, Tottenham Hotspur is pretty good.

But good luck obviously cannot be followed for a long time. After returning to the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur ushered in the 10th round. Tottenham Hotspur challenged the newly promoted Watford away. As a result, the main players took a week off and Tottenham Hotspur once again played a wonderful offensive feast. Although there were only two goals, they closed Watford.

Four wins, two draws and four losses, Tottenham scored 14 points, and still ranked 13th in the Premier League

In the middle of the week, he welcomed his second opponent in the League Cup group stage. Brugge, Belgium, Tottenham defeated his opponent and won two consecutive wins in the group. Through these two games, Ye Qiu also discovered one thing, that is, the teams playing in the League Cup seem to be not strong, or they are not attentive to play.

In fact, Tottenham Hotspur is not very attentive, but Ye Qiu's team generally has one characteristic, the bench lineup is relatively thick, so it is more extensive to rotate and there is no need to serve as a manpower problem.

But when he returned to the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur challenged Manchester United away. Tottenham Hotspur started well in this game. The London team's offense brought a lot of trouble to Manchester United, but Van der Sar performed very well in this game, and the central defender combination of Ferdinand and Vidic also showed threats.

Manchester United performed well this season and currently ranks first in the league. One very important factor is the joining of Vidic, Carrick and Berbatov, which has almost resurrected Manchester United, allowing the Red Devils to get rid of the stubborn problems that have been in the past period of time, and can almost be said to be a complete transformation.

But just when Tottenham Hotspur was planning to use attack to tear Manchester United's defense line, Scholes' long pass, Berbatov stopped the ball, knocked back, and Cristiano Ronaldo quickly inserted. The Portuguese's sprint was very fast, especially the Vargas side gave him the distance to sprint, which made the Portuguese almost thrust.

He rushed to Tottenham Hotspur's penalty area, knocked across, Giggs inserted his left foot and pushed the shot.

Even at the end of the game, Tottenham Hotspur failed to equalize the score, but looking at the whole game, Tottenham Hotspur clearly performed better. Whether in terms of ball possession or threatening shots, Tottenham Hotspur was ahead of Manchester United, but in the end he lost the game at Old Trafford Stadium.

This made Ye Qiu helplessly tease Ferguson at the post-match press conference, saying that he should be the one who is desperate.

Ferguson was not stingy, and defeated Ye Qiu and was in a good mood. He took out his treasured red wine at Old Trafford Stadium.

"I thought you would refuse to drink with me after losing"

While pouring wine, Ferguson looked at Ye Qiu with a smile. This old guy always looked red, but this smile was very annoying in Ye Qiu's eyes. He had the urge to splash the glass of red wine in front of him directly, but considering that this was in Old Trafford, he endured it.

"I really don't have the habit of drinking with people after losing, but since you are so sincere, I will just let it go." Ye Qiu laughed and said, pretending to be like drinking with Ferguson to give him face, and intentionally trying to disgust people.

Ferguson laughed, but did not refute, poured a glass of wine, drank it all, and sighed.

"I originally thought you wouldn't come back." Ferguson sighed a little with a heroic pity. For him, it was a lonely and helpless thing to have no opponent, especially in the Premier League. And like now, having so many opponents is indeed a very exciting thing.

"How is that possible?" Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head, "I told you that I will definitely come back."

Ferguson looked at Ye Qiu deeply, but his eyes were filled with something different, "The same people who are concerned about the public are about the same age, but you two are much different."

"Who are you talking about?" Ye Qiu stopped just halfway through the wine glass.

"Didn't you read the news?" Ferguson poured himself another glass of wine, "I have received the news. Real Madrid is considering whether to renew his contract with him. If he doesn't renew the contract, he may be forced out of the Bernabeu." After saying that, Ferguson sighed deeply again, picked up the glass and drank it all in one breath.

"I thought you two had a grudge." Ye Qiu didn't expect that because he knew that Ferguson was talking about Beckham.

"Make a venge?" Ferguson shook his head and smiled after hearing this, "How is that possible?"

After a pause, Ferguson laughed at himself, "Believe it or not, I was very hesitant when I sold him."

When Ye Qiu heard this, he felt a sense of sympathy in his heart for some reason. He once thought Ferguson was very strong and tough. He even told himself not to follow Ferguson's path because it was too unhuman and too unfeeling.

For Manchester United's results, he drove away Beckham, Keane and Fanny and other players he promoted and cultivated were all-handedly.

Many people think that the Flying Boot incident is the main source of conflict between Beckham and Ferguson. In fact, it is wrong. The most core contradiction between the two is that Ferguson wants to make tactical adjustments to Manchester United, and Beckham, Keane, Fanny and others cannot adapt to such adjustments at all. It is only a matter of time before they leave.

Even if there is no flying boot incident, there will definitely be other things that will trigger conflicts between the two.

Ferguson never mentioned these things in the media or in the public. Even after he drove away Roy Keane, no one knew that he had secretly cared about the former Manchester United captain, and all of this was broken in his heart. If Eliza had not had a strong relationship in England football and well-informed, she would have never known this.

"Actually, he looks very much like me, at least in many places, for example, we are not willing to admit defeat. No matter what we face or how big the difficulties we are, we will not give up easily, but many people only notice his glamorous side, but not how much he has paid behind his back."

"I also know that he is a very good professional player. Everything that happens off the court rarely affects his performance on the court, but, do you know? As a person who has watched him grow and mature with his own eyes, as a person who once thought he should achieve higher and better results than he is now, he saw that he did not get any recognition from the outside world and became a vase in everyone's eyes. I must remind him that I must bring him back."

When he said this, Ferguson's eyes turned red and he was very excited after drinking.

"I have told him more than once that players, like the head coach, have to speak with their performance on the football field, but his wife obviously doesn't think so. This is the biggest contradiction between us."

After hearing this, Ye Qiu understood a little.

Perhaps it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong in this kind of thing. After all, even in an ordinary family, there will be many conceptual conflicts and contradictions between parents and sons and daughters-in-law, and it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong. This is the generation gap.

The reason why Ferguson is feeling now is that as an elder, he heard the news from Beckham and watched him go to La Liga for three or four years, but he didn't win a championship, but he was likely to be kicked out of the Bernabeu, which made him feel uncomfortable.

After Florentino stepped down, the new Real Madrid chairman Calderon invited Capello to reform and rejuvenate the team. Beckham, Ronaldo, and even Raul were included in the cleaning list. Beckham's contract expired after the end of this season. The two sides are currently in a stalemate on renewal.

Ferguson should have received the news that Real Madrid may not be planning to renew his contract with Beckham. If Real Madrid doesn't expect to get a last penny, the ideal way is to force Beckham to transfer during the winter break, which can save Beckham's half a year's salary and get a large number of transfer fees. Conservatively, it is probably 10 million euros in both aspects.

"Have you considered bringing him back to Manchester United?" Ye Qiu asked casually.

When Ferguson heard this, he took a deep breath and his expression quickly returned to normal. For someone like him, a brief loss of composure is already very rare. After returning to normal, he shook his head, "He is not suitable for Manchester United now."

Ye Qiu really wants to say that after Beckham left, Manchester United's midfield was out of order. Later, you introduced Carrick at a high price. But in fact, Carrick's role is not the same as when Beckham moved to the middle, and it is even worse than Beckham?

But in the end he held back because he could see that Ferguson was no longer willing to talk about this topic.

But from this short period of less than a few minutes of losing composure, Ye Qiu also noticed that Ferguson was not as tough, cold-blooded, and emotional as he thought, and he was actually alone.
