Chapter 262 Old White Hart Lane (daily transition)

For a long time, Tottenham have been regarded as the second-tier team in the Premier League.

Smooth style of play, strong desire to attack, and a hole in defense.

Because of the characteristics of scoring a lot of goals and conceding a lot of goals, it once became the favorite team of Happy Bean fans.

No one cares about Bai Lily's victory or defeat.

Return to the classic Premier League comeback:

Manchester United's 5:3 contest against Tottenham is the most classic.

Trailing by three goals, chasing five goals in a row.

Ferguson famously said in the Manchester United dressing room: "Boys, that's just Tottenham."

Even the historical period when Bale and Modric played together at White Hart Lane failed to change people's inherent impression of Tottenham.

At that time, the two were affectionately called Sun Dasheng and Silver Horn King by fans.

...

but.

After Pochettino took charge of White Hart Lane in 2014, the audience saw a Tottenham that was capable of competing for the championship.

The white youth storm created has swept the Premier League.

When the powerful teams came to their senses... Tottenham had become the number one group competing for the Premier League title.

Who is the Premier League team with the most powerful offensive firepower in the past two seasons?

Tottenham!

According to legend: In 1986, Bielsa and Griffa went deep into the Pampas to look for young boys with football talents.

Late one night.

The two came to a farm and were shocked when they saw the sleeping boy Pochettino!

From that moment on.

Pochettino became the spokesperson of the "Belsa school".

What is the Bielsa school?

Another extreme school derived from the concept of "Total Attack, Total Defense".

It is offensive football full of charm, madness, paranoia and radicalness!

It is a football philosophy that makes it difficult to win a championship.

but.

Compared with Bielsa himself, Pochettino's overall defensive focus is still slightly conservative.

....

A few days later.

Another fantastic Premier League match day.

After Li Kang finished training, he took the club bus with his teammates to White Hart Lane Stadium.

They are about to face their toughest challenge of the season.

North London Derby.

Arsenal's home stadium and Tottenham's home stadium are very close to each other.

a bridge.

4.4 miles.

The audience has been looking forward to this game for a long time.

No one thought Arsenal was a sure winner.

There are even many opinions that White Lily Youth Storm can resist Mr. 200 Million.

He looked at the posters and slogans outside the car window.

Li Kang lowered his head and turned over the map. He was not very familiar with the North London area.

"Li, it's less than fifteen minutes' drive, why should we look at the map?"

"Tottenham have committed the most fouls in the Premier League in the past three seasons, but it's barely dirty because they like to disrupt opponents with their soft hips."

"Are you talking about Ali? Hahaha!"

Maguire is discussing Tottenham's style of play with Xhaka and several new players.

Unfortunately.

He was the starting center back for this game.

Because Mertesacker led the youth team players through a fierce battle in the English League Cup in midweek, the coaching staff was concerned about the player's physical problems and made temporary adjustments to the starting lineup for the North London Derby.

The only hidden danger is that the young Maguire is not stable enough.

Koscielny thought for a while and reminded: "Play the ball forward in time...Don't think about teasing the opponent, forget it, just pass the ball to Li."

Morata twirled his fingers and said: "In this year's Champions League, several Premier League teams look very strong and can increase the European War points of the entire league."

This guy has already enjoyed various benefits brought by the highly commercialized league and wants to play in the Premier League for a long time.

The current European War standings are affected by Leverkusen’s semi-final place last season:

First in La Liga.

Second in the Bundesliga.

Third in the Premier League.

.......

ten minutes later.

The Arsenal club bus drove into White Hart Lane.

The sound of noisy renovations was heard not far away.

This stadium was once nicknamed: Stamford Second Bridge.

Because Chelsea has not lost here for more than ten consecutive years.

Its traffic and capacity have been criticized by fans.

Too far to walk from the subway station.

It can only accommodate more than 30,000 spectators.

In May 2016, the new White Hart Lane stadium was officially constructed outside the original site.

It won't take more than a few years.

Tottenham fans will also have a new home comparable to the Emirates Stadium.

Wenger and the coaching staff stepped off the bus.

“That’s the real deal with noisy neighbors.”

"Boss, Levi's expansion method is much cheaper than building a new stadium! The preliminary budget cost is..."

"No, the budget will continue to expand during the construction process. If they control the costs and allocate 200 million for signings..."

.....

The scene of the pre-match press conference.

Pochettino stood up and shook hands with Wenger warmly.

This famous young coach is now a candidate pursued by many wealthy clubs, especially Paris Saint-Germain.

"Mr. Pochettino, your courtesy to Arsenal does not show the slightest trace of the North London Derby's gunpowder!"

"The game hasn't officially started yet. Do you want our two head coaches to have a big fight?"

The Tottenham coach's words made the media reporters laugh.

The question quickly turned to Wenger.

"Mr. Arsène, which team do you most want to face in the Champions League round of 16?"

"bye..."

The Arsenal manager blurted out subconsciously... He braked just in time.

What is the problem?

It's obviously a North London derby, why are we talking about the Champions League?

Wenger smiled and said calmly: "This issue should be left until after we qualify in the Champions League group... I only care about the game in front of me."

...........

In the players tunnel.

There was silence.

The tense hostility is still brewing.

It is different from the life-and-death situation before the beginning of the century.

It is difficult for most foreign players to be influenced by the new derby environment in a short period of time.

What's more, many local players in the starting lineup have formed deep friendships when they played against each other in the youth training echelons...

"plum!"

Sun Xingmin gave Li Kang a hug excitedly.

He finally competed with Lamela for the starting position and was in a good mood.

There was no exchange of pleasantries for a long time.

The South Korean forward quickly felt the strange looks from his teammates, and then relaxed his hands.

Don’t forget to add: “Come on!”

Li Kang nodded.

He then continued to look at Tottenham's queue.

.......

White Hart Lane.

Seats removed.

At first glance, there are scarves and slogans waving crazily!

The blue flag fluttered in the wind on the green field.

Tottenham fans sang the passionate team anthem in unison.

The referee team led the players from both sides out of the tunnel.

The four large LED boards above the court immediately released the starting lineups of the two teams.

"ctv5! ctv5! Good evening, viewers, we are now broadcasting the seventh round of the 2016/17 Premier League for you!"

"Tottenham vs. Arsenal at home!"

"North London Derby!"

"The meeting of the top teams competing for the Premier League title!"

"Here we introduce to you the starting lineups of the two teams!"

"Tottenham have formed a 4-2-3-1 formation!"

"Goalkeeper: Lori!"

"Defenders: Kyle Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose!"

"Double defensive midfielders: Dier and Wanyama!"

"Midfielder: Son Heung-min, Alli, Eriksen!"

"Forward: Kane!"
