Chapter 519 Let's fight!
What exactly is crazy?
Crazy is, what you thought would not happen, but it happened in front of you incredibly true, that is crazy
When everyone thinks you will definitely lose, and you will lose miserably, and you will lose very cowardly, you suddenly slapped everyone in the face. In the eyes of those who have been slapped you, this is crazy
Some people say that Ye Qiu's life is tough, and Tottenham's life is also tough.
This is right or wrong, because whether life is hard or not depends on saying it, but on doing it.
Tottenham Hotspur has encountered problems this season, but it has always been able to resolve crises and problems again and again. Some people say that this is Ye Qiu’s luck.
At the beginning of the season, Ribery was seriously injured and Messi participated in the Olympics. Everyone felt that Tottenham Hotspur was going to be affected, but suddenly a Gareth Bale came out. The Welshman scored frequently and performed well, helping Tottenham Hotspur repeatedly defeated the strong opponents.
When Gareth Bale fell and everyone was familiar with him, Messi and others came back, and the team's strength improved again, unbeaten until the winter break, and then lost to Manchester United in the FA Cup and then to Manchester United in the League Cup final. Everyone thought Tottenham Hotspur was about to reach a trough and was going to be over.
But Ye Qiu boldly defeated the main players such as Van Persie and Messi, using Eden Hazard, who had better physical fitness, and Ribery, who had just recovered from injury, and a diligent Cavani, who defeated Southgate's Middlesbrough at home 40, trampling the team into the abyss of relegation, while he escaped.
Now, Tottenham Hotspur has suffered its first defeat in the season, Messi was injured, Kompany was red card, and Peter Cech was scored for the first time this season. All signs seem to tell them one thing, the opportunity for the Portuguese team to create a miracle has come.
Sporting Lisbon's head coach Bento threatened before the game that Tottenham Hotspur would also suffer the first defeat in the Champions League this season, and even eliminate the defending champion from the Champions League, imitating Porto's feat that year and reaching the finals.
Bento is not an exaggeration, because Sporting Lisbon's performance in the Portuguese Super League is indeed quite good. Currently, they are fighting for the league championship this season with the league leader Porto. At the same time, although Sporting Lisbon's offensive ability is not strong, its defensive ability is quite outstanding, ranking first in the Portuguese Super League.
It can be said that Bento's words are not without sufficient capital. In addition, he is not in a good situation at home. No matter from any perspective, he is fully qualified to say that he wants to defeat Tottenham.
In fact, Sporting Lisbon also adopted a dead-defense tactic at the beginning. Because Messi was not there, Bento believed that Tottenham Hotspur would have some shortcomings in breaking intensive defense, so he set up an iron barrel formation at his home court.
Another interesting thing is that perhaps Bento saw the English media praising McCarthy, and he felt that Mourinho's old player was born to defeat Ye Qiu, so in this game he actually brought out the veteran Porto when he reached the Champions League final, Brazilian striker Delray, and gave him the forward line.
You know, both McCarthy and Delray made great contributions to Porto's ability to reach the Champions League final, and McCarthy scored when he saw Ye Qiu. I guess Delray would not be too bad, right?
Since it was a defensive counterattack, the midfielder naturally put on a defensive formation, including Roshenbak, Moutinho and other players, all of them put on the ground. The team shrank very far behind, first defended the dead, and then planned to counterattack.
In this game, Tottenham Hotspur also sent all the main players to play. The goalkeeper was Peter Cech, the defense was Marcelo, Kompany, Thiago Silva and Alves, the midfield was David Silva, Yaya Toure and Fabregas, and the front tridents were Gareth Bale, Van Persie and Ribery.
The game started with a hard time, and Sporting Lisbon's defensive tactics caused a lot of trouble to Tottenham Hotspur.
Breaking dense defense has always been a long-term challenge for all teams, and in the first half hour, Sporting Lisbon did a pretty good job until Ye Qiu started to make adjustments in the 30th minute.
Perhaps because he realized the problem of the team's intensive defense in the frontcourt, Ye Qiu began to let Gareth Bale push up and attack the penalty area. The Welshman has excellent physical fitness, especially when facing players in the Portuguese Super League, he has an advantage in physical strength. He used him to attack the left rib of the opponent's defense line, and then played the back and forth between Van Persie and Ribery to create opportunities.
The 42nd minute, Gareth Bale rushed into the penalty area from the left, took the ball with his back, and tried to complete the turn, but suddenly passed the ball to the right. Ribery followed, got the ball and shook the defender away, pushed the ball and scored, scoring the first record for the team, 0
In the second half, Tottenham Hotspur continued to use this tactic. It was Gareth Bale who created an opportunity after breaking through the high speed on the left, and passed the ball to the small penalty area with a low score. Van Persie grabbed the point in front of the goal, 0
Tottenham Hotspur's offense is getting more and more active, especially after replacing Van Persie with Cavani, the impact in front of the goal is fully reflected. Whether it is physical strength confrontation or pressure on the opponent's defense, the Uruguayan striker has brought huge trouble to Sporting Lisbon's defense.
Ribery's second goal came from Cavani's goal, and he quickly got a chance in front of Sporting Lisbon's defense, helping Tottenham Hotspur score twice, and the final score was locked in
The crazy away victory almost made everyone feel Tottenham Hotspur’s fierce offensive power, especially when the team performed poorly. Cavani, Eden Hazard, Ramsey, Lucas and other players all performed quite well, especially Cavani and Eden Hazard, who all performed very well on the offensive end.
This big victory not only shocked Portuguese fans and media, but also shocked the whole world
Before the game, everyone thought Tottenham Hotspur was in crisis, and Ye Qiu's team was likely to be upset and dragged down by multi-line battles, but this team always showed its tough side at critical moments.
As Ye Qiu said after the game when facing a Portuguese reporter about whether Tottenham Hotspur was a tough one, "Of course you can say that we are a tough one, because I can't control what you say, but my players and I are very clear that this is the reward for our hard game."
"I once said that we are a mature team. We have always maintained the same tactical style for the past three years, which makes our players know clearly what they want to do and what they should do at any time and anywhere. This clarity will be reflected in every game, but it is not obvious when it is smooth."
"We are a whole, we have never been a team alone. If so, then the name of this person is Tottenham Hotspur. We all know that we are a team and are part of the team. We must assist each other, understand and help each other, because everyone will have times when they perform poorly, but teammates will help you get out of the trough very well."
"I am very satisfied with the team's performance over the past period of time, and I firmly believe that we are not afraid of any team's difficulties and any crisis challenges."
Ye Qiu's words rekindled the passion of Tottenham Hotspur fans. The English media have all expressed that as long as Tottenham Hotspur maintains its current momentum, especially with the outstanding performance of young players such as Cavani, Eden Haza, Ramsey, and Lucas, the pressure on the team's main lineup has weakened, and fighting on both sides is not a problem at all.
The Times even encouraged Tottenham Hotspur in the title of "winning the Premier League to defend the Champions League".
Martin Samuel said that Tottenham Hotspur slaughtered Sporting Lisbon from the away game, showing not only the strength of Tottenham Hotspur, but also the confidence of this team. Even if it was away game, even if it was frozen by the opponent for 40 minutes, they were still trying to find opportunities to attack and keep attacking.
"If there is any team in this world that can represent offensive football, then there is no doubt that it must be Tottenham Hotspur. They have brought the complete tactical system of mainland Europe and a lot of offensive football systems that are inferior to that of mainland Europe teams to the Premier League. They are changing the outside world's understanding of the Premier League."
"In the Premier League, there is not only strength confrontation, not only speed, but also technology, goals, and gorgeous ground penetration and advancement."
Martin Samuel also feels that if Tottenham Hotspur succeeds, Ye Qiu's contribution to the Premier League will be at least tied with Ferguson, Wenger and others, because he will change the tactical style of the Premier League for the second time
When bookmakers and fans regarded Tottenham as the number one hottest favorite to win the championship, the reporter asked UEFA President Platini at the headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. The Frenchman said he was a loyal fan of Tottenham Hotspur.
"As the healthiest and only team with zero debt, I think Tottenham Hotspur is worth learning from both the management and the team's performance. The Champions League is a very fair game platform. If Tottenham Hotspur has enough strength to defend the title, we will also welcome it, because Tottenham Hotspur's success will attract more people to pay attention to football, which is what we have always advocated."
But everyone knows that this is very difficult, because the opponent Tottenham encountered this time is extraordinary. Not to mention anything else, even if the quarterfinals knockout match surpassed Sporting Lisbon, they met the miser Manchester United in the semi-finals.
Manchester United is definitely Tottenham Hotspur's most troublesome opponent this season, because they have eliminated Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup and the League Cup, and Ferguson even threatened to continue to eliminate Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League.
Everyone knows very well that Tottenham Hotspur is good at attacking and Manchester United is good at defending. Ferguson finally found a stable central defender combination like Vidic and Ferdinand. In addition, Carrick, if Manchester United cannot win the championship when these players are at their peak, then don't expect it in the future, so Manchester United will definitely work hard.
There are also Barcelona and Chelsea. Under the training of Guardiola, the former can always drag their opponents with an astonishing ball possession rate. Moreover, Barcelona's defense is also quite stable. Under the training of Hiddink, Chelsea's defense immediately changed its defense and repeatedly defeated strong opponents.
In this case, it is unlikely that Tottenham Hotspur will talk about defending the title.
But after Ye Qiu returned to London and was interviewed by the media, he smiled and said that he hoped to defend his crown
"I believe that both players and head coaches hope to leave a brilliant mark in their careers, because we all believe that in this world, there are many things that cannot be replaced by money and fame and fortune."
"Everyone of our team is willing to work hard for a goal that everyone thinks is impossible because we hope to try and practice. The purpose is not to prove what we are like, but to tell ourselves that we have worked hard, even if we lose, there is no regret."
"So, here, I call on all Tottenham Hotspur players to work hard for Tottenham Hotspur's first Premier League championship in the football history of more than 100 years, and we must also strive for the unprecedented reign of the title since the reform of the Champions League."
"I don't know if we can succeed, but I know that if we give up such an opportunity, we will regret it for life, so, all Tottenham Hotspur players, let's fight.
Ye Qiu's appeal was immediately responded to the players.
Team captain Thiago Silva first said on behalf of the team, "The locker room responded very enthusiastically to the head coach's words. We all firmly believe that as long as we are willing to give, we will definitely get everything we want."
The team's deputy captain and the biggest star in the team, Beckham also said in an interview later: "The atmosphere in Tottenham Hotspur is very good at the moment. Everyone is very united, and everyone is full of fighting spirit. I think this is very, very difficult, so I think we should set a bigger goal for ourselves."
"Defending the Champions League? Winning the first Premier League championship in club history? I think this will be a pretty good ideal"
As the players have successively accepted media interviews and expressed their strong confidence, Tottenham Hotspur fans have also left messages on the website and APs, although some fans have made more conservative remarks, such as hoping that the team can be more secure and ensure that they win a championship first to avoid taking too much steps.
But such remarks were quickly criticized by other fans because everyone hoped that their team was an ambitious team, and the team was in such a good state and the current atmosphere in the team was so harmonious that everyone was united. Such opportunities were not available every season.
Because any team is the same, with ups and downs, with climaxes and troughs. If you don’t fight for it now, who knows in the future?
Almost most fans left messages hoping that the team will strive for a double championship, especially on the survey on the club's official website. The survey results from more than 100,000 netizens around the world show that 93 fans think that the team should strive for it.
"Whether it is football or competitive sports, the most fundamental core spirit is to challenge the impossible."
This sentence has become a truth that most fans agree with. They all think that the team should continue to challenge it. Even if it is proven to lose, it is just a loss of the championship and a honor. But at least they have worked hard to win it themselves. All Tottenham fans will be proud of the courage of the club.
Back to London from Sporting Lisbon, Tottenham Hotspur soon welcomed West Ham United at the White Hart Lane Stadium.
For this future East London derby, West Ham United hopes to get out of the relegation zone, but Tottenham Hotspur beat the away team 40 times in this game, scoring nine goals from the opponent in two consecutive games, and the offensive storm was in no time.
All Tottenham Hotspur fans shouted for double championships at the White Hart Lane Stadium, especially after playing West Ham United, all the fans did not leave the stadium, but stood up and used the shouts to express their support and encouragement to the team.
Three days later, Tottenham Hotspur, who was still in the White Hart Lane Stadium, welcomed Sporting Lisbon. The Portuguese Super League team has completely lost its qualification to qualify, and Bento has also begun to stay in preparation for the league championship battle, so there is no arrangement for all the main players to play in this game.
But even when facing such an opponent, Tottenham still tried his best to beat Sporting Lisbon at home, sending the Portuguese Super League team directly home, and creating an amazing score of 13:0 in two rounds.
This amazing score completely broke the score of Werder Bremen, who eliminated the Bundesliga in 2004005, and became the largest total score victory in the Champions League knockout stage, and the team will also be recorded in the history of the Champions League.
This tide of goal feast made the fans of Bailu Lane sing and dance, and they all seemed to have a happy holiday. They never thought that the team would be in such a surprising state at the end of the season.
The big score beat Real Madrid and the big score beat Sporting Lisbon, everything made Tottenham fans seem to see the moment when the team created miracles again.
After the team played two rounds of the Champions League quarterfinals, they returned to the Premier League and defeated Newcastle 0 at home. Messi, who returned from injury, scored twice, which made people see the strengthening of Tottenham's offense and made all opponents feel desperate.
Newcastle head coach Alan Shearer even admitted that Tottenham Hotspur is almost invincible.
"Tottenham Hotspur has almost shown a stunning strength in this game. I believe that as long as they maintain this form and momentum, it will be difficult for a team to beat them."
But just as everyone was singing praises to Tottenham Hotspur, on the afternoon of April 25, on the 34th round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur was a visit to Old Trafford Stadium and lost to Manchester United away
Facing the top strong opponent who won the championship, in such a strong dialogue, at such an important critical moment, Tottenham Hotspur suffered its second defeat of the season at Old Trafford Stadium.
