"I firmly believe that the most glorious moment in my life, the greatest practice of self-confidence is to do your best to a goal, fight hard on the battlefield until you are exhausted and win the final victory-----Vincent Lombardi"

"I don't know what to say. In three minutes, the most critical battle in my career will be the one that depends on today."

"If we don't fight together, we will wait to be slaughtered by our opponents, one inch after another, one gear after another until the end of the game."

"We are in hell, believe me, but standing in hell, we can choose to be slaughtered, or we can choose to fight back with all our might and fight bloody battles. We can leave this hell step by step."

"When you get old, everything will leave you. This is part of life. You will not understand until you start to lose. You will find that life is also accumulated slowly. Just like American football, whether it is life or American football, there is little room for mistakes. If it is early or half a step late, it will be a failure, if it is slow or half a second, you will not be able to receive the ball."

"The earth is actually around us. Every minute and every second of every game will appear. Our team will work together to capture every minute and every inch. We will do everything to overcome all difficulties and capture every inch. We grit our teeth, because we know that every inch captured is an important difference in victory and defeat, and the key to life and death.

"Tell you that in any battle, only those who are willing to fight to the death, can win every inch of the battlefield. The reason why I support me to survive is because I am still willing to fight for that inch of the battlefield, because this is the true meaning of life, you have to attack the first six inches of the battlefield."

"Looking into his eyes, you see a comrade-in-arms who is willing to compete for the soil, you see a comrade-in-arms who is willing to sacrifice for the team, because he knows that when the time comes, you will do the same for him, this is teamwork."

"If we don't fight together, we will be slaughtered by others. This is American football."

In the conference room of the first team training building of Theobord Training Base, all the windows were pulled with thick curtains, making the huge conference room completely dark. Coupled with the huge projection screen and inspiring sound effects, the environment here is not inferior to that of the cinema.

All the players of Tottenham Hotspur first-team were arranged to watch a movie here, from the Sunday Battle of the famous Hollywood director Oliver Stone.

This is not a famous movie, because relatively speaking, sports movies are unpopular in Hollywood. Even though this movie tells the story of football that is very popular in the United States, it still suffered a box office Waterloo. It only received $13.5 million in North America, and only $75 million in the world, but its investment reached $65 million.

But this is definitely an extremely excellent movie. It definitely expresses not only American football, but also life philosophy.

This is also the best competitive movie Ye Qiu has ever seen. Although he also likes movies such as [One Goal to Fame] and [Punishment Goal to Gold], he still feels that the Battle of Sunday] is better than other movies of the same type, whether in terms of entertainment or artisticity, or even thought-provoking.

The game scene is very shocking and lively, and Al Pacino's Tony is also a very rich and soulful character. Oliver Stone conveys the concept he wants to express in this movie through Tony's mouth.

Ye Qiu has watched this movie many times, but every time he watches it, he has a very special feeling, because he is working hard for a goal to realize his own beliefs and strives for a goal. He also believes that everyone can resonate with this movie.

Ye Qiu always felt that all the people living in this world were like earthworms buried deep in the dark soil, unable to see the direction or the light. In such an environment, despair becomes very easy, and hope is very difficult. But when people live, they should have hope, just like earthworms, with a hope, in the dark soil where light cannot be seen, they squirm forward inch by inch, and drill inch by inch, hoping that one day they can drill out of the soil.

This is the life of a person, and this world is the soil

As professional players, Tottenham Hotspur first-team players undoubtedly have a deeper impression and experience of everything in this movie than others, because they are real people living on the court, and they are now relying on playing football to support themselves and their families, so they can better understand the ideas and ideas that are conveyed in the movie than anyone else.

Willie finally chose to work together and finally helped the Miami Sharks defeat the Cavaliers. When all Tottenham Hotspur players saw this scene, they all stood up from their seats and applauded hard, and they were obviously excited by the movie.

After a long period of preparation and preparation, the movie reached its climax in the final game. Coupled with Al Pacino's inspiring speech before the game, the movie completely turned into a classic and deeply infected every player at Tottenham Hotspur.

Applause and even tears represent the players' recognition and affirmation of this movie

Especially in the final game of the movie, both Ronnie and Willie interpret and reflect one truth. No matter how good the star is, he must get the full support and maintenance of his teammates around him to play the greatest role. A star who loses the support of his teammates is useless.

But this movie also reveals a cruel fact, that is, competitive sports are full of dangers. Cavaliers players fell out of their eyes because of collisions, while Sharks' defensive core Old Shark fell to the ground for a defense and fell into a coma, making people feel their whole heart sucked when watching the movie

Oliver Stone is using this method and expressing a concept to everyone, especially in the hearts of Tottenham and Tottenham, a group of young players, who will involuntarily resonate with a hint of sympathy. That is, as professional athletes, everything they currently have is so fragile, because they may completely interrupt their careers due to an injury anytime and anywhere, just like the Cavaliers player or the Sharks old sharks.

In this heart-wrenching mood, they will become more cherishing what they currently have, more cherishing the environment they currently have, and achievements they have achieved

The unity, selfless and dedicated team spirit described in this movie is undoubtedly the demands of Ye Qiu to everyone in Tottenham Hotspur for a long time in the past. The spirit and fighting spirit of self-improvement and never giving up in this movie are what Ye Qiu hopes that all Tottenham Hotspur players now have.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the core theme of this movie is very vulgar, nothing more than emphasizing unity. If someone simply reads the passage of Al Pacino's speech, he will definitely feel disgusting and even reject it. He thinks that this is definitely treating all players as idiots, and no one will be moved by this vulgar preaching.

However, if you let go of the rejection and prejudice in your heart and slowly watch this movie from scratch, you will be deeply infected. You will find that perhaps its theme is a bit vulgar and has no newness, but Oliver Stone can speak a vulgar theme well to make you excited and deeply infected.

This is the director's skill and the success of this movie

And it has completely conquered all Tottenham Hotspur players, so it can get their applause and even tears

After watching the movie, Ye Qiu said nothing and walked out of the conference room with the coaching staff because he believed that the players had already felt what he wanted to say and what he wanted to express, and believed that they all understood Ye Qiu's motivation for them.

Life is a never-ending battle

Some may say that Tottenham Hotspur’s life is really tough, and some must say that Ye Qiu has lost his luck.

Because when Tottenham Hotspur was in the most difficult time, that is, the team encountered the first test this season, Tottenham Hotspur welcomed Wigan Athletics. Even Ye Qiu's team still fell from the net with a net 0.

The last match between the two sides reached double-digit goals, so when they lost one after another and encountered difficulties, many people think that Ye Qiu was really lucky to meet such a team.

Ye Qiu disdained this statement, but he did not refute it because he saw that the team was well out of adversity.

In the middle of the week, the FA Cup quarterfinals 16 knockout match was ushered in. Tottenham Hotspur was at home and defeated the visiting Bolton team 40. Cavani scored twice, helping the team defeat the opponent and successfully advanced to the next round of the game.

In the 28th round of the Premier League game on the weekend, Tottenham Hotspur relied on the successive goals of Falcao and Messi to take the lead. Even though Everton performed better in the second half and scored a goal to save face, he was still unable to challenge Tottenham Hotspur at the White Hart Lane Stadium.

The three consecutive games of victory have completely dissipated the rumors that Tottenham Hotspur might collapse in the media, and everyone has turned to hype, believing that Tottenham Hotspur still maintains strong competitiveness.

You know, Moyes' Everton is the hottest team in the Premier League in February. In addition to the unexpected 0l loss to Benitez's Liverpool in the same city derby, they defeated Ancelotti's Chelsea and Ferguson's Manchester United in the other two matches. They performed very well in February, which is a devilish schedule.

Because of this, when Tottenham Hotspur encountered Everton, many people were worried that the Toffees, who are in good condition, may continue to play a giant killer and be upset again.

But in the end, Tottenham Hotspur still saved a home victory without any danger, not allowing Everton to gain a slight advantage from his hands, which once again defended his league lead.

Three days after playing Everton, Tottenham Hotspur visited Manchester City Stadium and faced Manchester City with Mancini.

This is undoubtedly a tough battle. After Mancini took over Manchester City in the middle, the best thing he did was to build Manchester City's defensive system, which greatly improved the defense of this Manchester team and also played away games. However, Tottenham Hotspur, who had been exhausted for a long time, brought huge trouble, and Manchester City's offensive ability is not weak at all.

With the two sides playing hard, Ribery and Messi stood up at the critical moment. After getting the ball in the middle, Messi broke through the double-team of the two players and passed the penalty area to Ribery. France's Scarface made the final decision, helping Tottenham Hotspur score a winning goal and took away three points away from the away game.

The FA Cup quarterfinals knockout match was ushered in the weekend, with Fulham's opponent. Tottenham Hotspur, who played away, lost 0:1 to the city's opponent and was eliminated from the FA Cup. Fulham defeated Tottenham Hotspur, which is mainly young players, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals. Chelsea, Aston Villa and Portsmouth also advanced to the semi-finals.

After being eliminated from the League Cup and the FA Cup one after another, Tottenham Hotspur's performance in recent times has also been bumpy, which inevitably makes people worry about Tottenham's future.

Especially after playing this FA Cup, Tottenham Hotspur ushered in the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals in mid-week. In the case of losing away in the first leg, Tottenham Hotspur must win Porto at home.

At the pre-match press conference when Porto went to London, head coach Jesuardo Ferreira seemed very confident in his away game during an interview with reporters. He firmly believed that Porto could bring back the right to advance from the away game.

"Maybe many people are full of doubts about our self-confidence and think it's incredible, but what I want to say is that after the first round, we are very clear about how to defeat Tottenham Hotspur. This team is far less powerful than the outside world imagines, and they are not invincible."

"Of course, there will be some difficulties when visiting the White Hart Lane Stadium, and we are fully prepared for the upcoming difficulties. I firmly believe that my players can play at White Hart Lane Stadium that is not inferior to the Dragon Stadium, and we will get a satisfactory result."

However, perhaps in order to lower the tone, Jesuardo Ferreira also defended some of his remarks after the first round in an interview with the media, believing that he had no intention of humiliating his opponent. However, Tottenham's performance in that game was indeed not ideal, but he once again emphasized that it was satisfying to beat Tottenham.

"You know, it's really addictive to the feeling of being able to beat a team with outstanding superstars like Messi, Ribery, Falcao, Fabregas, David Silva, etc., and I believe all teams want to have such an opportunity, and we'll try to taste that feeling again at White Hart Lane Stadium."

Regarding the provocation of Porto coach Jesuardo Ferreira, Ye Qiu took a low-key approach at the pre-match press conference, saying that the team did encounter some problems.

"In the past period, we have played a lot of games. We have not had a winter break. At the same time, we have traveled a long distance to play the Club World Cup. After returning to England, we have fought continuously, which has caused some ups and downs in the players' state."

But soon, when a reporter asked, thinking that Tottenham Hotspur did not seem to have been affected by this aspect last season, Ye Qiu denied that because Tottenham Hotspur's form also fluctuated last season, because it is impossible for a team to remain unbeaten for a long time.

"If someone doubts our strength and thinks that our results this season are not ideal, then I think he should take a good look at the results we have achieved so far. We only lost one game in the Premier League, draw three games, we won twenty-five games, and we were twelve points ahead of Chelsea, who is the second place. I don't even know, if such a result is bad, then, who can answer me, what is good?"

In the face of Ye Qiu's questioning, no reporter present could answer because they have always been like this. When you perform well, they will praise you to heaven, but once you lose, they will immediately start hyping up the so-called crisis.

Ye Qiu asked the reporters so sharply, and the several reporters present who had a good relationship with Tottenham Hotspur on weekdays all secretly applauded themselves, but they definitely couldn't shout out regardless of their peers' feelings.

Ye Qiu did not intend to respond to the challenge from Porto, "I can only say that we will prove our strength through this game. I also want to tell everyone that we are Tottenham Hotspur, we will lose, but we will not lose to the same opponent in a row."

"Twice" Ye Qiu stood up from the rostrum and compared two fingers to the reporter.

A rapid and rapid flash suddenly appeared at the scene. All the reporters stood up and took crazy photos at Ye Qiu. It was obvious that this was Ye Qiu's counterattack. Although there was no head-on counterattack, Jesuardo Ferreira's actions obviously angered Ye Qiu and also caused the English media to counterattack one after another.

"No matter how bad Tottenham Hotspur is, beating Porto is as easy as killing an ant."

"The arrogant Ferreira will definitely pay the most painful price at White Hart Lane Stadium"

"I seem to have seen Jesuardo Ferreira leave the White Hart Lane Stadium in shame with a crushing defeat."

As for the high profile and confidence of the English media, the Portuguese media seemed a bit pessimistic, believing that some of Jessauardo Ferreira's remarks were a bit too high profile, after all, Tottenham Hotspur's strength was there.

But some media believe that the situation of Porto in Jesusaardo Ferreira is somewhat similar to the situation when Jose Mourinho's Porto met Manchester United. It was also the knockout round of the quarterfinals. In the first round, Porto defeated Manchester United. As a result, when everyone thought that Manchester United could defeat Porto at Old Trafford Stadium, the score in the second round was that Porto equalized the score at the last moment and advanced smoothly.
