Tottenham Hotspur's 27 players, plus the coaching staff, chefs, team doctors, and some of the team's staff and employees, the entire team looked like a huge tour group, in training! The next day, he took the Boeing 777 passenger plane prepared by Qatar Airways and flew from London to Los Angeles on the west coast of the United States.

This time, Tottenham Hotspur’s pre-season training camp was arranged to be held in the training center of the University of California, and then they will play four warm-up games in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas and New York, with their opponents being Los Angeles Galaxy, Mexico Chivas, AC Milan and Barcelona.

The tour to China last summer made Tottenham famous. Ye Qiu returned to his motherland and quickly brought up a wave of Tottenham Hotspur. This time, Tottenham Hotspur's tour in the United States is different from the tour to China, mainly focusing on commercial development, so the club's CEO Peter Kenyon personally led the business team to the United States.

Many people have analyzed that Tottenham's trip to the United States came at the right time, because the US national team had just shined in the Federation Cup not long ago, eliminating Spain and reaching the Federation Cup final. Although they finally lost to Brazil with regret, they won unanimous recognition from domestic American fans and ignited the Americans' enthusiasm for football.

In this case, Tottenham Hotspur arrived in the United States and arranged the training camp in the United States. In addition, Ye Qiu's influence in the United States made Tottenham Hotspur destined to become the focus of praise and attention from the day he arrived in Los Angeles.

The United States is always in a hurry with other teams, and Tottenham Hotspur is prepared for this trip to the United States.

For example, they started to hold an event on the Internet half a year ago, calling on more American fans to put videos and videos of their football on the Internet, allowing netizens from the United States to vote, select the best five fans, so that they can follow Tottenham Hotspur’s pre-season episodes throughout the whole process

This activity has attracted considerable attention among young people in the United States. After all, Tottenham Hotspur will stay in the United States for nearly two and a half weeks. That is to say, if they get the opportunity to participate in the Tottenham Hotspur training camp, they will bring this group of top superstars together in the next half month and receive Ye Qiu's guidance.

A total of more than 10,000 American fans took their videos and videos. After more than three months of online voting, Tottenham Hotspur selected five fans to train with the team based on public opinion. After the team arrived in Los Angeles, they entered the UCLA with the internationals participating in the Federation Cup and stayed in Tottenham Hotspur's hotel.

This incident has also attracted the attention and reports of media around the United States. Tottenham Hotspur also showed its professional side with the attention of the media, that is, they not only helped these five fans to join the training in a coping manner, but gave them professional guidance. One of the fans was also strictly required to reduce some of the fat and fat.

Based on the observations of the first few days, the coaching team also tailored a short-term technical intensive training for these players. Although it is impossible to greatly improve their technical level, it can help them use their skills more reasonably. Therefore, in front of the media, they all play football one by one.

In addition, Tottenham Hotspur also showed its image to all sectors of the United States in all aspects, opening a training class to the public every day. Every day, Ye Qiu would take different players to interview with media reporters, which quickly caused a huge response in the United States.

Not just Tottenham Hotspur, in fact, since the team successfully defended the Champions League in Rome, major sponsors have regarded the US business in the summer as the focus of key publicity and promotion.

Qatar Airways doesn't need to say much, and has regarded Tottenham as the key signboard of their North American publicity early on. Tottenham Hotspur's jersey sponsor Adidas hopes to take advantage of the Tottenham Hotspur's limelight to sweep the North American market strongly.

The strong consumption power of American fans was completely reflected after Tottenham Hotspur arrived in North America.

After more than a month of preparation and promotion, Adidas has launched Tottenham Hotspur's new season jerseys and training in almost all stores in North America at the same time, especially in major American cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, New York, etc., with almost all sold out and high-selling signs.

Even the store on Tottenham Hotspur official website has also received a large number of orders from the United States. A Tottenham Hotspur jersey priced at $90 has always been in short supply, and Adidas has kept urging manufacturing factories from China.

The jerseys are best-selling. After Tottenham Hotspur arrived in Los Angeles, almost every public training class will attract many fans wearing Tottenham Hotspur jerseys to the UCLA. When walking on the streets of the United States, you can often see some fans wearing Tottenham Hotspur jerseys or training.

In addition, some of Tottenham Hotspur sponsors such as Budweiser, Versace, BMW, etc., are also focusing on Tottenham Hotspur's US trip.

In fact, Tottenham Hotspur alone cannot cause a huge sensation, but there are so many networks with abundant resources. At the same time, there are large sponsors of publicity networks in the United States that have supported and fueled the fire. This has caused Tottenham Hotspur's trip to the United States to form a strong storm from the beginning, becoming the hottest topic in North America in mid-July. Almost all Americans are discussing the landing of Tottenham Hotspur.

Moreover, Peter Kenyon personally led the team to the United States this time, with the intention of further opening up the US market. At least Tottenham Hotspur has received cooperation intentions from more than six sponsors, among which the sponsorship fees range from 2 million to more than 10 million euros. If all of them are done, Tottenham Hotspur will make a lot of money.

But as a football club and the defending champion of the Premier League and the Champions League, if Tottenham Hotspur continues to win the support and recognition of American fans, it must show its strong enough strength on the football field. After all, a considerable number of American fans choose to support them because Tottenham Hotspur is strong enough.

Therefore, Ye Qiu attaches great importance to the warm-up matches of the United States, not only him, but also to the club and organizing committee.

The first warm-up match was not arranged at the Home Depot Stadium of the Los Angeles Galaxy, because the capacity there was too few, and it could only sit 27,000 people, which could not meet the huge needs of fans. Therefore, the first warm-up match was arranged at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles.

Everyone may not be familiar with this stadium, but everyone should still remember that Baggio's lonely back in the 1994 World Cup in the United States happened at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles.

Although there were only 92,000 seats at the Rose Bowl Stadium, a total of more than 95,000 tickets were sold before the game, and a considerable number of tickets were standing tickets. In the end, the total number of fans entering the Rose Bowl Stadium reached 95,137, which completely broke the record for the highest attendance rate in the history of the Rose Bowl.

After a week of high-intensity training in North America, Tottenham Hotspurs also ranked the strongest main lineup in this game. The goalkeeper was Peter Cech, the defense was Cointran, Ziglinsky, Kompany and Kyle Walker, the midfield was Beckham, Yaya Toure and Fabregas, and the front tridents were Ribery, Cavani and Messi.

Several Brazilian players participating in the Federation Cup final did not appear in the starting lineup, which was because Ye Qiu was considering that they were running back and forth and then participated in the team's training without stopping, so they were arranged to play as a substitute.

At the beginning of the game, Tottenham Hotspur played relatively steadily. After all, the team had just experienced a week of devilish training and its physical fitness was still in a serious stage of exhaustion, but the American fans in the stands still burst out with amazing enthusiasm.

Ye Qiu, Beckham, Messi, Ribery Tottenham Hotspur’s group of star coaches and superstars have become the targets of 95,000 American fans’ shouting and touting. This game has attracted basketball stars including Lakers, and even some Hollywood superstars such as Tom Cruise and others to watch the game on site.

After laying the prelude of the start, Tottenham Hotspur quickly controlled the game, and in the 26th and 41st minutes, Beckham and Messi scored one goal for the team, establishing a 0 lead early.

But in the second half, Ye Qiu adjusted the starting lineup according to all the customs of warm-up matches, and replaced Falcao, Alves, David Silva, Marcelo, Thiago Silva and other players. As a result, Tottenham Hotspur hit a very refreshing offensive storm in the second half, directly pressing the Los Angeles Galaxy and beating it.

Tottenham Hotspur's fast-paced offensive football and simple and sharp passes and receptions made the American fans in the stands excited. The atmosphere in the Rose Bowl stadium was very hot, and as if stimulated by this hot atmosphere, the Tottenham Hotspur players also performed very hard, especially Falcao, who played a hat trick on his head and feet.

The Colombia center, who just switched to Tottenham from Ajax this summer, performed well in training, with higher scoring stability and efficiency than Cavani. In addition, Tottenham Hotspur's ability to create opportunities has made Falcao's goal efficiency always excellent.

The hat trick in the second half made fans in the stands praise Tottenham Hotspur's new player this season. What is particularly commendable is that his three goals were scored by the head, with his right foot and left foot in different positions inside and outside the penalty area, which shows the comprehensiveness of the Colombia center.

Argentine strikers have always been more adaptable to European professional football environment than Brazilian strikers. The reason is very simple. They are more efficient and do not lack stability like Brazilian strikers, because when training forwards, Argentina emphasizes the basic skills of shooting, and tends to let players adopt more solid shooting skills rather than skillful actions.

Therefore, there are very few players with high scoring efficiency among Brazilian strikers. Ronaldo at his peak was formed after being carved by Eindhoven. In addition, like Romario, but Argentine strikers may at first glance, their talent is not as talented as Brazilian strikers, but they are more effective, such as Batistuta, Crespo, Diego Milito, Higuain, etc., are scorers who pay great attention to efficiency.

Although Falcao is a Colombian striker, he is a striker cultivated by the River Plate team. He established his characteristics of efficient scoring as early as in the River Plate, so his growth route has always been very clear.

In Peter DeVisel's words, he believes that in the current European football world, Falcao is one of the players who masters the best shooting skills and the most comprehensive and solid shooting skills. There are no more than three players who can compete with him. Although he is short, his consciousness and prediction are excellent, and his explosive power is also good, so he can become a top powerful center.

0 big victory over Los Angeles Galaxy, Tottenham Hotspur won the first game of the United States, which completely ignited the passion of the North American football market and became the front page headlines of major newspapers the next day. Especially the performance of Tottenham Hotspur's superstars at the Rose Bowl Stadium, which won the recognition and praise of American fans.

Three days later, the team went from Los Angeles to San Francisco and faced the Mexican giants Chivas at the Park Stadium in San Francisco.

The number of fans in this game reached 72,000, which once again broke the historical record of San Francisco Park Stadium. This stadium, which was originally the home of the football team San Francisco 49ers, had a record of 70,200 people, but now it has been easily broken by Tottenham Hotspur.

What is different from the first game is that Ye Qiu made appropriate adjustments this time. Falcao replaced Cavani as the starting center, and players such as Alves, Thiago Silva, Marcelo have also returned to the starting lineup one after another. However, Beckham, who has always had great influence and appeal in the North American market, still won the starter and formed a double-core midfield with David Silva.
