Chapter 706 White Hart Lane Massacre

After a 0:5 away defeat at Tottenham Hotspur's White Hart Lane, Barcelona's so-called collapse of the dynasty also spread throughout the world overnight. Countless media reporters and fans are doing their best to analyze it, and they are all thinking about it. People are wondering, what is wrong with this Barcelona team?

How did the White Hart Lane massacre happen?

Journalists in Catalonia are also asking similar questions. Mundo Deportivo used the headline "Why did Barcelona fall into the mortal world" as the front page headline. They tried to analyze what happened in this game. At the same time, Summarize why Tottenham Hotspur can win.

Fans' voting analysis was also listed on the official website of Daily Sports. More than 65% of the fans believed that the reason for the disastrous defeat in this game was that Barcelona was inferior to Tottenham Hotspur. In this battle, both the team tactics and the players' on-the-spot performance were obviously better than Barcelona.

In the fan voting, another option with a high vote rate is that Barcelona is too arrogant and arrogant.

"In the past, we always saw Xavi, Iniesta and others running around on the pitch in order to gain possession of the ball, but now, what we often see is their slow kicking on the pitch. The slow pace of movement, perhaps from this comparison, we can see the reason why the team failed miserably.”

Cruyff, the godfather of Barcelona, ​​also commented on this game in his column the next day. He believed that the reason why Tottenham Hotspur was able to beat Barcelona was divided into external factors and internal factors.

The external factor is that Tottenham Hotspur's head coach Ye Qiu arranged very detailed targeted tactics before the game, and this set of targeted tactics played an extremely critical role in the game. Almost every attack of Naham Hotspur was carried out according to Ye Qiu's tactics, which put Barcelona in an awkward state throughout the game and unable to exert half of its usual strength.

As for the so-called internal factors, Cruyff was more cautious, but he also mentioned one point, that is, when two goals behind, Barcelona's players played unsatisfactory at all. It seems that he has completely lost his fighting spirit in the game and plays without any sense of responsibility.

Cruyff criticized the team's weakness of not being good at playing against the wind, but everyone could hear that what the Barcelona godfather actually criticized was that many players on the team lacked the original ambition. They were too lazy and too lazy to play against the wind. So lacking in passion.

As Cruyff said, on the surface, the team was better in the second half, with two shots and one shot on goal, but this was only relative to the first half. Barcelona only had four shots in the entire game. A shot on target, such a report card is a humiliation and a irony anyway.

Cruyff also emphasized one point, that is, the game is over. Now for Barcelona, ​​the most important thing is not to pursue the responsibility, but to think about a problem carefully. In the case of 0:5 in the away game, How to reverse the opponent at home and how to show Barcelona's dignity!

If the media in Catalonia are helping Barcelona lick its bloody wounds, then Marca and AS, which are close to Real Madrid, seem to be a little gloating, because although Real Madrid lost to Bayern Munich 1:2 in an away game, But the Galaxy Battleship got a key away goal and had great hopes of advancing to the finals.

Because of this, the media close to Real Madrid were very angry. The team is currently ranked as the leader of La Liga in the league, and if Real Madrid can reach the final, although it will be possible It will be Tottenham Hotspur who are the strongest, but there is still hope of winning the championship.

So after the first round, they immediately launched a war of words against Barcelona, ​​believing that Barcelona was no longer good and that the so-called tactical system they were proud of had been completely broken by Tottenham Hotspur.

On the stage of Europe's top leagues, if someone breaks through once, it will easily happen a second time.

But the happiest thing is the British media, thinking that they found that Tottenham Hotspur has fulfilled the hopes of all Premier League fans. This past Premier League hegemonic team did not make people feel regretful. They have performed well in the Champions League. It shows the pleasing offensive football rarely seen by Premier League teams, as well as the crazy passion for the game.

"Even if only Tottenham Hotspur is left, we can still sweep the entire European continent!"

Almost all fans in England are applauding and cheering for Tottenham Hotspur's performance. Even fans of rivals Arsenal and Chelsea are full of envy and jealousy to praise Tottenham Hotspur's performance in this game. With their performance in the Champions League semi-finals, I believe that such a team is a truly strong team.

"After such a disparity in the score, there is no longer any suspense for Tottenham Hotspur to reach the Champions League final. Whether their opponent is Bayern Munich or Pellegrini's Real Madrid, we can all look forward to Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs won the Champions League, and this will be the third Champions League title in the history of the North London team.”

"The scary thing is that these three Champions League titles all come from Ye Qiu!"

"Barcelona's performance at White Hart Lane was not ideal. The team's mental state was very bad. Coach Guardiola also lost his former passion. Perhaps he is now worried about renewing his contract with the team, and the team members Several core players were also disappointing, and their desire to win was very weak, which led to Barcelona's miserable loss."

"But we should also see that the reason why Barcelona performed poorly is precisely because Tottenham Hotspur, who stood opposite them, showed a very high level of strength. Ye Qiu's tactics almost seamlessly restrained Barcelona. Tottenham Hotspur’s players carried out the instructions and intentions from the manager almost perfectly.”

"The tragedy at White Hart Lane, this is the answer given by many fans after enjoying this game. Even the Barcelona fans who came with the team to the away game had to admit when interviewed by reporters after the game that Tottenham Tottenham did play better than Barcelona in this game! ”

"Fabregas, who has played for both teams, also regretfully admitted after the game that Barcelona's hope of advancing is very slim, and he also said that this Tottenham Hotspur is very different from the past. But it’s more difficult and more powerful.”

“So far this season, we are all marveling at Tottenham Hotspur’s record unbeaten run, but we should also reflect on the sale of Yaya at Tottenham Hotspur last summer? After Toure, when the sales of Cesc Fabregas and David Silva were announced, we were pessimistic about this team."

"One year later, Ye Qiu's team once again amazed everyone. They ravaged Barcelona from afar with a bloody 5:0 at White Hart Lane, using such a victory full of domineering kings. , announcing the return of the former European hegemon. After two seasons away from the Champions League, Tottenham Hotspur, known as the strongest in Europe, will once again reach the top of Europe! "

"But we must also be sober and rationally aware that Tottenham Hotspur may seem very close to winning the double crown, but in fact it is also very far away. They must remain calm and rational enough. They must win the double crown. In the remaining months, in the remaining games, I will perform at my highest level in every game.”

"We have absolutely reason to believe that if Tottenham Hotspur can play at the level they played against Barcelona at White Hart Lane every game, this Tottenham Hotspur team will not only win the Double, they will There is even a chance to win all the championships and complete an unprecedented Grand Slam!”

For a time, almost the entire British newspapers and media were launching a round of praise-like praise for Tottenham Hotspur. This was completely different from the time when Tottenham Hotspur was eliminated from the FA Cup by Chelsea not long ago. A completely different treatment.

But the whole of Britain cheered Tottenham Hotspur's victory.

So on the morning of the second day of the game, more than a thousand fans wearing Tottenham Hotspur jerseys gathered outside Tottenham Hotspur's Theobald training base in southern Hertfordshire. There were two rows of people standing in front of Theobald's gate, and banners were hung, [Tottenham Hotspur must win! ] and [ Premier League! Champions League! Double crown! 】.

All the players who came to the team for training drove past the cheers of these two rows of fans. Especially when Ye Qiu arrived by car, the audience burst into thunderous cheers. Everyone was cheering. They were chanting Ye Qiu's name to show their support and love for the owner and head coach.

It can be said that it was after Ye Qiu acquired Tottenham Hotspur six years ago that this North London team began to rise strongly. It took them six years to establish themselves as a giant in the Premier League and Europe. To build the team into the strongest team in Europe, it doesn't even need one.

No one can understand the gratitude Tottenham Hotspur fans feel for Ye Qiu. Although they love this team and will not abandon it because of its success, who doesn’t want their beloved team to Can the team become the strongest team? Who doesn’t want the team he supports to become the top club?

After Ye Qiu entered the training base, he even temporarily adjusted the team's training plan, allowing the players to go out of Theobald and interact with all the fans who came to the scene, either taking photos, signing autographs, or listening to their voices. .

Especially when more and more fans gathered at the scene, which also attracted many London newspaper reporters and media, more than 2,000 Tottenham Hotspur fans who came to the scene shouted in unison to win the championship, and the voice resounded through the sky. , frightened all the birds in the surrounding woods to fly together, and made everyone inside feel a rush of blood.

When more and more reporters and media arrived after hearing the news, Ye Qiu asked the security personnel to come out to block the traffic. The players went back to training. This morning's training session also temporarily changed its mind and was opened to the outside world, including reporters and media. You can go in for filming, and Ye Qiu even made a high-profile promise during an interview with BBC TV.

"At least before this season, we will never lose another game, and we will win a double championship to thank the fans!"

This promise was resounding and received cheers from all the fans present. It also showed their confidence in the team and the coaching staff. It even attracted the praise of Tottenham Hotspur from many famous players in English football, even their bitter rivals. Manchester United's head coach Ferguson feels that Tottenham Hotspur would be too cowardly if they dare not shout the slogan of winning the double crown!

"Although we are competitors, I have to admit that Tottenham Hotspur is the team with the best chance of winning the Premier League and the Champions League this season. Their goal should be to win the double crown. I believe no one has any objection to this, so Ye Qiu's promise is just to strengthen everyone's confidence and goals."

"Shouting slogans and making promises, this is Ye Qiu!"

But there are also some doubtful voices. For example, Manchester City's head coach Mancini said that it is too early for Tottenham Hotspur to talk about winning the championship now, because Tottenham Hotspur may not be able to end the season with a stable record of all wins. He even believes that as long as Manchester City continues to play well in every game and put pressure on Tottenham Hotspur, there is still a chance to win the championship.

The one-point gap is too tempting for Manchester City. The club is too eager for such a championship!

There are even reports that Mansour came to Manchester in person and held a meeting at the Carrington training base. He promised all Manchester City players that if they win the championship this season, he will give each player a huge bonus to thank the players for their efforts and achievements. This makes Manchester City eager for the championship.

Liverpool, a team that has been away from the English top league championship for a long time, also shouted the slogan of launching a new round of attacks on the championship. The Liverpool Echo even broke the news that Benitez will have a transfer budget of 100 million pounds this season to help the team complete the renewal and further strengthen its strength.

Although the league has not ended yet, it is approaching the end. Many teams have already started preparations for the next season. For example, Chelsea, which has no chance of winning the championship and has little hope of entering the top four of the Premier League, has officially announced in advance that the team will reorganize the lineup, including the heavy news that it will not renew Drogba's contract.

The Ivorian will leave Chelsea. This is not a piece of news, but old news. However, where his next club will be has always been a mystery. Previously, the media disclosed that Drogba might switch to the mortal enemy Tottenham Hotspur, return to Ye Qiu's team and end his career under Ye Qiu.

But there are also reports that there is an agreement between Drogba and Chelsea, prohibiting Drogba from switching to the mortal enemy in the same city.

But no one knows the specific situation, and can only watch the news and media hype and publicize.

However, according to the Italian Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter Milan head coach Mourinho has reached a consensus with the team and will leave Inter Milan after the end of this season because he is very dissatisfied with the current situation of the team. The most likely place for Mourinho to go is the Premier League, and the most likely team to coach is Chelsea, but Manchester City is not ruled out.

In addition, it is unlikely that Arsenal will be able to enter the top four of the league. Manchester United, West Ham United and Newcastle are the strongest contenders. Therefore, Arsenal officials also stated that they will adjust their transfer strategy in the new season. Arsenal fans and management are very dissatisfied with the consecutive absence from the Champions League. This summer, Arsenal will give a transfer budget of 50 million pounds.

This is undoubtedly a very good news for Arsenal fans, because everyone knows that Arsenal must introduce powerful stars as soon as possible to strengthen the team's strength, otherwise they will become a second-rate Premier League team.

In the first wave of transfer rumors, Tottenham Hotspur did not get too deeply involved. At present, the transfer rumors about Tottenham Hotspur are more about the retirement of Beckham and Raul, and the scandals between the two veterans Drogba and Nesta and Tottenham Hotspur.

There are also some obstacles to the team's contract renewal. Alves' contract renewal has never been negotiated, and his agent has begun to frequently appear in the media, even shouting that the possibility of a transfer is not ruled out, hoping to put pressure on the club and take the initiative in the negotiations.

However, all of this will not affect Tottenham's performance on the field.

Four days after playing Barcelona, ​​the team visited another team in London, Queens Park Rangers' Loftus Road Stadium. Mark Hughes' team is currently fighting for relegation. The biggest competitors are Bolton, Aston Villa and Wigan Athletic, so this game is very difficult.

Tottenham is reserving strength for the second round of the game at Camp Nou next week. Although the 5:0 victory in the first round almost laid the foundation for the victory of the game, the problem is that anything can happen on the football field, so the second round of the game should not be underestimated, and the strength of Queens Park Rangers is not particularly outstanding.

But the course of the game still surprised Ye Qiu a little, because Mark Hughes' team was too tenacious, especially when the team's main midfielder Talabat was sent off after receiving two yellow cards in the first half, they adopted an extreme defensive tactic in the second half, striving to get a point at home and lay a solid foundation for relegation.

Tottenham Hotspur wanted to fight for the championship, so the two sides played very fiercely in the second half. In the end, Sandro made a late run at a critical moment and a long shot from 28 meters away from the goal helped Tottenham Hotspur penetrate the goal of Queens Park Rangers and win precious three points for Tottenham Hotspur.

The narrow victory of 1:0 made many Tottenham Hotspur fans survive, which once again proved one thing, that Premier League teams are very difficult to deal with, especially away games, which are so difficult that they almost kill you!

However, Ye Qiu never mentioned the difficulty of the game after the game, but instead praised the players' tenacious fighting spirit and mental outlook. He said that the team's competitive spirit was touching, and as long as they maintained this spirit, the team would be invincible!
