The next day, the result of this Champions League semi-final caused an earthquake in European football.
Once again, they took a 3-goal lead in the first round and were eliminated in the second round.
A 3-goal lead may seem huge, but in fact it is more like a curse, cursing those teams that did not extend their lead to 4 in the first round.
"Tottenham counterattacked Barcelona and advanced to the Champions League final for the first time in history."
"The giants of La Liga were buried at White Hart Lane, and Tottenham completed their desperate counterattack!"
"The Chinese who can't run to death, ran beyond 24 kilometers!"
"A game without a winner, Chelsea-style tragedy once again happened in the Premier League!"
...
The media in various countries have chosen the direction that local residents are most interested in to broadcast the game.
Some people like to watch comebacks, some people like to watch goals, some people like to watch broken records, and some people like to watch accidents on the field...
In short, this game has become the focus of all fans' attention. Whether it is the score, the game process or the result, the fans did not expect it.
On the other side, Manchester United defeated Chelsea 1-0 at Old Trafford and met Tottenham in the Champions League final with a total score of 1-0.
This is the third time in the history of the Champions League final that a league civil war has been staged, and it is also the first time in the history of the Champions League final that a Premier League civil war has been staged.
The calls for the rise of the Premier League are getting louder and louder. Fans from both sides of the war immediately started a scolding war on the Internet and in the media as soon as their opponents were determined.
You know, the competition between Tottenham and Manchester United is not just these.
Maybe it's God's blessing, maybe it's Chelsea working hard, or maybe Manchester United has run out of energy.
In the penultimate round of the Premier League, Tottenham narrowly defeated Reading away from home with a score of 1-0 without Wang Xiaodong.
After Manchester United eliminated Chelsea in the Champions League, they suffered a counterattack from their opponents.
In the end, the two teams tied 1-1 at Stamford Bridge, and the points were once again opened up by Tottenham.
As a result, the balance of the Premier League championship this season once again tilted towards Tottenham.
...
"In the final game, if Tottenham wins, Tottenham will usher in the first Premier League championship trophy in team history."
"If they are unfortunately tied by their opponents, with a three-goal difference, they still have a high chance of defeating Manchester United and winning the championship."
"If Tottenham lose and Manchester United beat Wigan, Ferguson will win the tenth Premier League trophy in his career."
"It can be said that the initiative for the league championship is firmly in the hands of Tottenham people."
"The only question now is whether DONG can represent Tottenham in the final game..."
The latest sports news was broadcast on the TV opposite the hospital bed.
"Ah~~~"
Wang Xiaodong opened his mouth and took the grape in the little witch's hand. At the same time, he made a "suck" sound and sucked his girlfriend's finger.
The little witch looked at her boyfriend on her lap lovingly, then carefully picked a large grape and put it into Wang Xiaodong's mouth.
"DONG, you are simply the luckiest man in the world. You are young, have a successful career, and have such a beautiful girlfriend!"
Eto'o on the side reluctantly turned his head and said with envy.
Eto'o and Wang Xiaodong were admitted to the Central London Hospital at the same time, but Wang Xiaodong was able to lie in his girlfriend's arms and drink porridge the next morning, but it took two days for Eto'o to be transferred from the ICU to this hospital. General ward.
The doctor said that based on Eto'o's current condition, he will have to live in London for at least half a month.
So Barcelona only left one staff member to accompany him, and the rest of the team members went home.
There is no way, Rijkaard is too busy taking care of himself now.
After losing the game, he returned home and immediately submitted his resignation without staying for a minute.
In other words, Rijkaard's days as coach of Barcelona have entered the countdown.
At this time, no one cares about Eto'o in London.
In this way, Wang Xiaodong and Eto'o became fellow patients.
While chatting in the ward to relieve boredom, they also taught each other some basic languages of each other's countries.
In fact, unlike Eto'o's moderate concussion and complications, Wang Xiaodong suffered more from skin trauma and fatigue from running for a long time.
With Wang Xiaodong's strong body, he could be discharged from the hospital on the day Eto'o moved in.
But no one at Tottenham dared to respond to this matter.
For this reason, Martin Joel also specifically asked the hospital staff to take good care of Wang Xiaodong and let him rest in the ward for a few more days.
Although the game against Reading was particularly important, comparing the strength gap between the two teams, Martin Joel still chose to "take risks."
When the referee blew the final whistle, Martin Joel wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought about the resignation letter, so he didn't need to hand it over.
After winning the game, Wang Xiaodong's "holiday" was naturally extended for several days.
"I think you are envious of me for having such a beautiful girlfriend!" Wang Xiaodong said with a stern look on his face.
"There are many young and promising people in this world, but not everyone can find such a great, beautiful, and considerate girlfriend."
"By the way, do you like watching movies? Do you want my girlfriend to give you a movie ticket?"
Seeing Wang Xiaodong's embarrassed expression, Eto'o smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Forget it, my salary can still afford movie tickets."
Just kidding, with Eto'o's salary, you can buy a movie theater, let alone a movie ticket.
Eto'o's age has always been a mystery.
His information says he was born in 1981, but his coach always thinks he is actually older.
And his ex-girlfriend claimed that Eto'o was actually born in 1974.
No matter which one is true, looking at Wang Xiaodong, who was born in 1989, Eto'o will inevitably feel envious.
However, Eto'o got married last year and was already the father of four children when he got married, one of which was born to his ex-girlfriend.
With such a happy and happy family, Eto'o's feelings towards Wang Xiaodong and the little witch are mostly ridiculing.
After chatting with each other for a while, the two changed the topic to football.
"DONG, I heard that you are transferring next season? Are you interested in coming to Barcelona to play?"
After two encounters, Eto'o has seen Wang Xiaodong's super running and intercepting abilities in the midfield.
Compared with Yaya Toure, Wang Xiaodong also has accurate long-passing skills.
This kind of midfielder is the favorite of assault forwards like Eto'o.
However, Wang Xiaodong did not continue what Eto'o said, but asked: "Samuel, I heard that you are transferring next season? Are you interested in coming to play for Tottenham?"
After returning the words unchanged, there was only silence in the ward.
Wang Xiaodong is leaving next season, heading to a higher-level stage; although Eto'o's contract with Barcelona has not yet expired, after Rijkaard dismisses get out of class, will subsequent coaches still train him as the main player?
Today, Barcelona has Messi, a product of its own youth training, Henry, who was just bought from Arsenal, and excellent midfielders and frontcourt players such as Xavi and Deco.
As Eto'o gets older and Barcelona wants to recover, will the new coach still value him as much as before?
Especially this time in the Champions League semi-finals, he failed to score in such an important game and even ended up in the ICU. Will he regain his previous strength after he is discharged from the hospital?
Will he still gain the trust of fans and clubs?
Thinking of his own situation, Eto'o couldn't help but shook his head bitterly.
"Yes, I may not be able to stay in Barcelona for long! I feel that my teammates, coaches, clubs and fans have become less and less trusting of me."
After a while, Eto'o sighed.
"That's right. If that's the case, it's better to transfer and leave as soon as possible." Wang Xiaodong said nonchalantly.
"But after leaving Barcelona, where should I go?"
As Real Madrid's abandoned general, Eto'o gave himself the greatest responsibility and goal is to defeat Real Madrid.
And he did it.
In the past three years, Eto'o has scored in almost every Spanish El Clasico game. Every time he scores the goal of his old club, Eto'o's inner depression will be vented.
In three years, Eto'o has become accustomed to fighting for Barcelona and becoming a "Real Madrid fighter."
Now that he suddenly thinks of leaving, Eto'o really doesn't know where to go.
"DONG, do you have somewhere good to go?"
Eto'o subconsciously asked a very personal question.
Such a topic seemed very inappropriate between two patients who met by chance.
However, just when Eto'o was about to apologize, he heard Wang Xiaodong reply casually: "My girlfriend said Milan is a good place, and she also agreed that we should buy a house there..."
"Milan?"
Cheetah turned his head, looked away from Wang Xiaodong, looked at the ceiling, and muttered the name for a long time.
