Chapter 801 The Last Gift

Facts have proved that if Tottenham Hotspur is allowed to attack wildly, this team has the ability to create all miracles.

Although Tottenham Hotspur looked like a sick cat in the first half and played in a very embarrassing manner, in the second half, when the team started, they created consecutive scoring opportunities and successfully scored two goals. , after reversing Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur's offense was completely alive, and the overall situation was also alive.

Pellegrini's on-the-spot adaptability has always been criticized. This is also a common shortcoming of many coaches, such as Wenger or Guardiola. They all have weaknesses and shortcomings in on-the-spot command.

So when Tottenham Hotspur successfully reversed the situation in the second half and scored goals one after another, Pellegrini chose to attack between offense and defense, so the two sides played a very exciting offensive battle. For half an hour, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur fought very, very excitingly.

Although it is an offensive battle, Manchester City actually occupies possession of the ball, but there are very few truly threatening scoring opportunities. Tottenham Hotspur still adopts a concise style of play and takes advantage of counterattacks, especially Make full use of both sides to create threats.

Pellegrini suffered two big losses in a row within three minutes and immediately asked the full-backs to reduce their involvement and focus on defense. However, as a result, Hazard and Ribery retreated to get the ball and became undefended. , because Manchester City's double midfielders did not dare to leave their area casually, so Manchester City's adjustment activated Tottenham Hotspur's two wingers.

After Hazard failed to break through with the ball from the right, he passed the ball back to the penalty area in front of the baseline. Vidal volleyed and broke through Manchester City's goal again, 3:1, and this goal occurred in the 82nd Minutes, it was almost the icing on the cake that sealed Tottenham Hotspur's victory!

In this way, Tottenham Hotspur finally successfully reversed Manchester City 3:1 at Wembley Stadium and won the English League Cup championship trophy this season. This also made countless Tottenham Hotspur fans excited. Cheer wildly because everyone feels that at least Tottenham Hotspur will win the Double this season.

After the game, tens of thousands of Tottenham Hotspur fans accompanied the team's bus, which slowly took the League Cup trophy they just received from Wembley in northwest London to Strut. Ford Stadium, and were joined by Tottenham Hotspur fans along the way.

After the team finally arrived at Stratford Stadium, plus the 80,000 fans who originally stayed at Stratford Stadium to watch the live game because they could not buy tickets, the total number of fans exceeded three One hundred thousand, almost the entire urban area of ​​London was occupied by Tottenham Hotspur fans, and the Olympic Park was even more crowded.

When the team's Scania luxury bus arrived at Stratford Stadium, the flow of people immediately made way like a tide, allowing the team's bus to enter the entrance of the players' tunnel.

Soon, captain Thiago Silva, accompanied by his teammates, appeared at the entrance of the player tunnel holding the League Cup championship trophy. There was an overwhelming cheer at the scene.

This time, all the screens on the outer wall of Stratford Stadium were showing the live broadcast of Sky TV, including the huge TV set inside the stadium. The players were cheering. Carrying the trophy, he walked into the tunnel and into Stratford Stadium, where he was immediately cheered by the 80,000 fans present.

The inside and outside of the stadium were connected, and the whole momentum almost seemed to overthrow the whole day!

"Well done, Tottenham Hotspur!" Sky TV commentator Richard Keith was also full of emotion and appreciation.

"So far this season, Tottenham Hotspur have won 28 consecutive victories in the Premier League, leading second-placed Liverpool by as many as 21 points. This is indeed a quite remarkable achievement, and Guardiola Bayern Munich is only 19 points ahead in the Bundesliga.”

What Richard Keith said is not completely correct, because there are only eighteen teams in the Bundesliga, but there are twenty teams in the Premier League, and the Bundesliga has only played twenty-three rounds, but the Premier League has already played twenty-eight rounds. , so from this point of view, Bayern Munich's lead is even more obvious.

Of course, Tottenham Hotspur's lead can basically help the team secure the league championship in advance. This is why Tottenham Hotspur fans are so crazy now, because they can at least It ensures that the team will win the double crown, and the Premier League will also achieve six consecutive championships.

"Actually, based on Tottenham Hotspur's current lead in the Premier League, I believe Ye Qiu will gradually shift his attention to the FA Cup and Champions League. With Tottenham Hotspur's current strength, he said Maybe there is really hope to make a breakthrough in these two major cup competitions and complete the Triple Crown!”

Although Ye Qiu's Tottenham Hotspur are very good, they have never won the Triple Crown. This is also a big regret in the hearts of many fans. If they can win the League and League Cup, they can win the FA Cup. There are gains in the Champions League and the Triple Crown, which will further push Tottenham Hotspur's influence to a whole new level.

When the players walked into the stadium holding the League Cup trophy, there was a cheer, and the captain Thiago Silva, Ribery, Lewandowski, Messi and others interacted with the fans in the stadium, saying some words of thanks, which further enlivened the emotions of more than 300,000 fans in and outside the stadium.

"I think we still have two shortcomings tonight!"

The live commentator at Stratford Stadium has always been known for his ability to liven up the atmosphere of the fans. He is also loved by Tottenham Hotspur fans. There was even news that Sky TV wanted to poach him with a high salary to replace Andy Gray, but he finally chose to stay in Tottenham Hotspur.

Therefore, the commentator naturally became the host of the scene, and when he said this, the whole audience was a little surprised.

"The first one is insufficient," but the famous speaker was not at all nervous, because this was the stage he was most familiar with and best at. "I think it is far from enough for us to just win a League Cup. We want the League Championship, and we also want the FA Cup. Everyone, right?"

With his call, the whole stadium, including outside the stadium, and even many fans in London who were watching the live broadcast shouted loudly, "Yes!", and then there was a burst of laughter.

"See, I was not wrong at all!"

So, the scene responded to this treasure with a warm cheer and laughter, which was the greatest affirmation of the host.

"The second shortcoming is that, although our team has a tradition for many years that the head coach does not appear at the celebration site, so we have almost never seen Mr. Ye Qiu celebrate with us, I think that on such a memorable day, it is a big shortcoming without him!"

"Do you think I am right?"

There was an overwhelming shout of "yes" inside and outside the stadium, followed by hundreds of thousands of fans who followed the commentator's call and shouted "Ye Qiu" over there. Even the players jumped and shouted, looking more excited than anyone else.

At this moment, Ye Qiu was standing in the player's tunnel, and of course he heard this voice.

"You should be brave and walk out!" Roland Shepas had the determination and courage of a hero who cut off his arm, and it seemed that walking Ye Qiu out was as tragic as being executed on the guillotine.

Ye Qiu was indeed not used to such a scene, but the increasingly loud shouts from the scene forced him to hesitate, and the players soon waved and shouted at him on the court, and the live TV camera soon found him, leaving him no way to escape.

When Ye Qiu walked onto the court and into the live TV camera, the most enthusiastic cheers and applause rang out around Stratford Stadium. Countless people were cheering for Ye Qiu, which shocked everyone.

"I have to get a promise first, boss!" The host said with a smile to the microphone, "Because you pay me, you have to promise me that no matter how I embarrass you or ask you, you can't fire me or deduct my salary. Deal?"

This joke immediately received a burst of laughter from the audience.

Ye Qiu nodded as a tacit agreement, and the topic continued.

"In one sentence, describe your mood at this moment!" The host handed the microphone to Ye Qiu. It was obvious that this question had been prepared in his stomach for a long time, so as soon as Ye Qiu agreed, he threw it out.

Ye Qiu took the microphone, put it to his mouth and shouted loudly: "I don't know why we have to celebrate tonight, and why we have to make such a big scene. I think it's totally unnecessary!"

Ye Qiu's words not only stunned the host, but also the players and everyone else.

What kind of words are you talking about? Everyone is celebrating so happily, but you come out to spoil the scene?

But soon, Ye Qiu shouted again: "We only won one League Cup championship, the League championship, the FA Cup championship, and the Champions League championship, so we should wait until all three championship trophies are in hand before celebrating together, celebrating more crazily together, what do you think, should we do this?"

The fans reacted immediately, and everyone shouted and cheered, shouting yes.

"I just saw many fans who were almost too happy to bear it. I can understand their feelings, but I want to say, please, everyone, it's just a League Cup championship. If you can't bear it, what will you do if we win the League Championship in March, and then the FA Cup and the Champions League?"

"So, today, I am here to appeal to everyone, to all Tottenham fans around the world, to save some energy and prepare to celebrate our League Championship, our FA Cup Championship, and our three consecutive Champions League titles!"

"This is my last gift to all Tottenham fans around the world before I leave the position of Tottenham head coach. It is also my last promise to everyone!"

"I believe that all my colleagues and all the players will work together to do our best to fulfill this promise!"

Accompanied by Ye Qiu's words, there was another earth-shaking cheer inside and outside the stadium.

This is a naked declaration of ambition, and it is also a naked message to all opponents that Tottenham Hotspur must do things that others have never done, and must create miracles!

At this moment, not only Stratford Stadium, but also London, England, Europe, and the world, all Tottenham Hotspur fans who watched this live broadcast were cheering!

…………

…………

Ye Qiu announced that he would end his season with four championships, which shocked the football world. Some people attacked and some supported, but no one could deny that Tottenham Hotspur definitely has such strength.

So, after the League Cup, the FA Cup quarter-finals were ushered in. Tottenham Hotspur welcomed Martinez's Everton at home. As a result, Tottenham Hotspur, who sent all the main players to play, slaughtered Everton 4:1 at home and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

Roberto Martinez did quite well at Wigan Athletic, but after he joined Everton this season and took over Moyes's job, he did not perform very well. One important reason is that he wanted to copy the tactics he was good at during his time at Wigan Athletic, three defenders.

However, Everton is different from Wigan Athletic. Everton's central defender combination is not suitable for playing with three central defenders, and Barnes and Coleman, two of the best fullback combinations in the Premier League, are also difficult to adapt to the position of wing forwards, so Everton's entire lineup is actually not suitable for the three-defender tactical system.

If you encounter some teams that are weaker than Everton, there is no big problem, and Everton can basically beat the opponent, but once you encounter a stronger team, the three-defender style will not only fail to help Everton improve its defensive hardness, but on the contrary, the problem of insufficient space coverage caused by the three defenders has become Everton's Achilles' heel.

Therefore, Ye Qiu arranged the team's tactics for this game, and boldly took down Lewandowski who played well in the League Cup final, and used substitute center forward Drogba to start. As a result, Drogba scored one goal and made two assists, completely defeating Everton's entire defense line, and helped Tottenham Hotspur beat the opponent 4:1.

But this is not the most important thing. What really shocked the media around the world was that in the FA Cup quarterfinals, among the only two Premier League powerhouses, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Everton, but Manchester City was unexpectedly eliminated by Wigan Athletic.

In this way, the four teams that made it to the semifinals were Tottenham Hotspur, Wigan Athletic, Hull City and Sheffield United.

Everyone was stunned, because in terms of strength, the other three teams combined may not be as strong as Tottenham Hotspur. If calculated by the team's value, Tottenham Hotspur's Messi alone is worth all of them.

Therefore, after the FA Cup quarter-finals were released, everyone was shocked and felt that Tottenham Hotspur had almost secured victory in the FA Cup.

After winning the League Cup and basically booking the league championship in advance, the opponent in the FA Cup had such good luck. Tottenham Hotspur almost booked the treble in advance, and only one Champions League away from the quadruple that Ye Qiu promised.

Many media and analysts believe that under such a good situation, Tottenham Hotspur is very likely to win the quadruple, because Ye Qiu can put all his energy into the Champions League next.

As for the league and the FA Cup, with Tottenham Hotspur's strength and leading advantage in the standings, as long as there is no unexpected collapse, the possibility of losing the championship is indeed small.

After the FA Cup, the 29th round of the make-up match was ushered in in the middle of the week. Tottenham Hotspur defeated Chelsea 2:0 away.

Mourinho's team did not have strong reinforcements during the winter break, and the team's midfield problems became more serious. After the test of the League Cup final, Tottenham Hotspur's trust in Matic was further enhanced. In addition, Ye Qiu adopted the midfield crushing tactics in this game, and finally successfully defeated Chelsea 2:0.

Although Liverpool also successfully defeated Sunderland 2:1 at home in this round, Tottenham Hotspur still leads Liverpool by 21 points, which is equivalent to seven games, and there are only nine rounds left in the Premier League.

In other words, as long as Tottenham Hotspur wins two more games, the championship will be basically determined, so Ye Qiu shouted out the slogan of winning the league championship in March in advance at the celebration of the team's winning the League Cup.

After defeating Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur will host Arsenal at Stratford Stadium on Saturday.

It is interesting to say that Tottenham Hotspur can always beat Arsenal by a large score at the Emirates Stadium, but often at their home ground, whether it is the former White Hart Lane Stadium or the current Stratford Stadium, the derby between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal is always more difficult.

For this, some people think that Arsenal always tends to attack at home, but this reason is also difficult to convince people.

In any case, Tottenham Hotspur won a small victory of 1:0 against Arsenal at Stratford Stadium with Drogba's key goal. This battle also brought Tottenham Hotspur one step closer to the league championship. It is almost certain that they will win the championship in March.

Benitez also encountered a derby in this round. They will go to Old Trafford to challenge Manchester United away. Moyes' team can be said to have nothing to lose. For head coach Moyes, dismissal has become inevitable. The key is when to dismiss.

So, in this game, Liverpool won Manchester United 3:0 away without any suspense. This also made Moyes almost cursed by the Red Devils fans after the game, because Manchester United and Liverpool are mortal enemies.

After defeating Arsenal on Saturday, Tottenham Hotspur welcomed Olympiacos of Greece at home in the middle of the week. The team won the opponent 6:0 at home without any suspense, and finally advanced to the quarterfinals with a total score of 8:0.

And the day after the game, Tottenham Hotspur drew the opponent in the Champions League quarter-finals knockout draw...
