After knocking Manchester United out of the FA Cup, George finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the psychological pressure on the players during this period of consecutive league defeats is really too great. If there is no need for a victory to boost the team's morale in time, George is very worried that the players will not be able to bear the pressure and suddenly collapse, and then Tottenham will be in bad luck.
Therefore, after attending the post-game press conference, George immediately gave the team a one-day short vacation to allow the players time to adjust their mental state and take the opportunity to take a good rest in order to prepare for the upcoming game. Be fully prepared for a fierce battle.
As for George himself, after letting the players disperse on the spot and rejecting Ferguson's invitation, he ran to meet Elizabeth who secretly arrived in Manchester to enjoy the time with his lover. After all, February 14th is Valentine's Day in the traditional Western sense. George, who has just established a relationship with Elizabeth, will not forget such an important holiday. He prepared a Valentine's Day gift for his lover and left it in the hotel where he stayed. Prepare for a romantic candlelight dinner.
Elizabeth was overjoyed with George's performance. After all, as George's childhood sweetheart, Elizabeth is naturally very clear about the other party's emotional dullness. Therefore, when she originally had little expectations for Valentine's Day, she discovered that George had not forgotten this important holiday after work, and even arranged such a romantic candlelight dinner. Elizabeth was pleasantly surprised and was immediately attracted by George's I was deeply moved by this sentiment!
If Adele hadn't "accidentally" broken into the room, interrupted the ambiguous atmosphere between the two people who had a vague tendency to have a gunshot, and forced Elizabeth to be "exchanged with her future sister-in-law" on the grounds of "exchanging feelings with her future sister-in-law" Brought to another guest room, I'm afraid George will have to bear the wrath of the daughter-in-law from old Viscount Stanley Hood tomorrow.
Although he felt very sorry that there was no unexpected incident with Elizabeth on the night of Valentine's Day, to be honest, George, who had calmed down, was quite lucky. After all, if this kind of thing really happened, although Elizabeth would not say anything and would express understanding of George's behavior, she would definitely have some regrets in her heart. George didn't want to leave such regrets in Elizabeth's heart just for his temporary pleasure.
Let's get back to the topic now. Although they defeated Manchester United in the quarter-finals and successfully advanced to the FA Cup quarter-finals, in the league battlefield, Tottenham still failed to get out of the vicious cycle of consecutive draws. No, a week after defeating Manchester United, Tottenham drew one to one with the visiting Leicester City in the 26th round of the Premier League. The league suffered three consecutive draws!
To be honest, it was an extremely lucky thing for Leicester City to draw with Tottenham in this game. Although the Leicester City manager intended to follow the example of previous teams such as Portsmouth and Charlton and try to steal a point from White Hart Lane at the complete expense of attack, Drogba did not. Just eight minutes into the game, he assisted Robbie Keane to open the scoring, helping Tottenham build a one-goal lead!
Robbie Keane's goal disrupted Leicester City's overall plan. After all, the restraint effect of the Iron Barrel Formation on strong teams is only reflected when the scores of the two sides are tied or the opponent is lagging behind. If one's own team is lagging behind in the score, then the Iron Barrel Formation will naturally lose its meaning of existence.
The pre-match arrangement was completely disrupted, and the score on the field was lagging behind. Under the double pressure, Leicester City players had no choice but to take the initiative and attack Tottenham's goal. However, since Leicester City has chosen to take the initiative, its investment in defense will definitely be reduced a lot. In this way, Tottenham will have the opportunity to further expand their score advantage.
Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny. Although Tottenham players seized the opportunity of Leicester City to take the initiative and created many scoring opportunities, Leicester City goalkeeper Ian Walker showed an excellent competitive state in this game against his old club ( Note: Ian Walker played for Tottenham for 11 seasons. Before Neil Sullivan joined, he was the main goalkeeper of Tottenham. He is famous for his quick reactions in the Premier League).
However, despite Ian Walker's outstanding performance, Tottenham failed to seize the opportunity to further expand their lead. However, Tottenham also suppressed Leicester City's offense on the defensive end, leaving the visiting team unable to find a way to score. Opportunity to maintain a one-goal lead until injury time!
However, just when Tottenham players thought they were finally about to usher in a long-lost victory, veteran Les Ferdinand helped Les with a half-turn volley that hit the dead center of the goal after the game entered injury time. City equalized the score, leaving Tottenham stunned!
"It's definitely a trick, isn't it? This is definitely a trick, right?!" Seeing that the lead that he had maintained for most of the half was wiped out by Les Ferdinand's kick, even George couldn't help but feel a pang. Stuffy. After all, such a result is really depressing: "I can guarantee that if the old guy Les kicks it a hundred times, he will never be able to copy the shot just now!"
The next words of old Charlie made George even more depressed: "And George, I remember that Les Ferdinand and Ian Walker both played for Tottenham. So, if this game is played by Les If Techeng draws, I think the good-faith media will definitely make a big fuss about this."
"Huh?!" George was dumbfounded when he heard old Charlie's words. Because he had already anticipated the fierce bombardment he would face from the media at the post-match press conference!
In this way, with Les Ferdinand's strike in the second half injury time and Ian Walker's outstanding performance in front of the goal, Tottenham Hotspur finally tied with Leicester City at home. They were extremely depressed as they watched the three points that were about to reach their mouths fly away from their eyes!
However, although Leicester City's draw contained many unexpected factors, no matter how you find the reason, a loss is a loss. It cannot be because Tottenham has the advantage and has been leading for a longer time. Leicester City's progress The ball was just lucky enough to change the result of the game and declare Tottenham the winner. Therefore, although they felt very unconvinced by the draw, the Tottenham players finally endured the situation and waited until later to report.
After Tottenham was tied with Leicester City at home, the situation in the standings became increasingly clear: after 26 rounds of the league, Arsenal was unbeaten with 18 wins, eight draws and 62 points. The record leads the list, with Manchester United following closely behind the Gunners with 17 wins, four draws, five losses and 55 points, while Chelsea, built with heavy oil rubles, is ranked third in the standings with a three-point gap. . As for Tottenham, after suffering three consecutive league draws and four consecutive games without a win, they are currently ranked fourth in the league with 51 points and have basically announced their withdrawal from the Premier League title race this season!
By this time, almost everyone can see that the Premier League championship in the 2003-04 season will be Arsenal's bag. Although there are still twelve full rounds of the league to end, Arsenal's performance in the Premier League this season is really outstanding. Even if they were accidentally overtaken by their old rivals in the standings, the Gunners used their tenacious perseverance to survive. Overcame the most difficult time and finally successfully regained the leadership position!
The only fly in the ointment is that Tottenham used a substitute lineup to defeat Arsenal, who played all the main players, in the League Cup semi-finals, which tarnished the Gunners' glorious image a lot.
It is precisely for this reason that during this period, Arsenal fans often made sarcastic remarks about their rival in the same city, venting their accumulated resentment after being eliminated from the League Cup by Tottenham this season.
However, Tottenham fans were in no mood to respond to the cynicism from Arsenal fans. Now they are looking forward to an upcoming game, which is the English League Cup final scheduled to be held on February 29th!
At this time, an English League Cup trophy is enough to make up for the sense of loss that Tottenham fans have felt recently due to the team's decline in the league rankings and falling behind in the league title race. After all, unlike the other three teams in the first group, before this season, Tottenham Hotspur had been playing the role of studying with the prince in various competitions for more than ten years. Although many big-name stars were introduced during this period, including Klinsmann and David Ginola, Tottenham's results have always been good. Even in the 1998-99 season when they won the League Cup, Tottenham's league ranking was outside the tenth place and could barely be regarded as a mid-range team.
Therefore, Tottenham fans are naturally extremely satisfied with the team's performance in reaching the League Cup final this season and being firmly in the top four in the league standings. Even though the team has fallen into a vicious cycle of consecutive draws in the league recently, they have not had any dissatisfaction or complaints about the team's performance - Tottenham has been able to reach this point after less than a season of reconstruction. What else are they dissatisfied with?
Looking at the Tottenham players, although the three consecutive draws in the league have made them very depressed, it has not had much negative impact on their confidence in winning the upcoming League Cup final. After all, Tottenham have defeated two powerful rivals, Arsenal and Manchester United, in the League Cup and FA Cup this season. With such a record, how could they be afraid of Bolton?
Although everyone at Tottenham was full of confidence in winning the League Cup final, when they followed George out of the tunnel, they were still taken aback by the warm atmosphere in the stands of Cardiff's Millennium Stadium!
If you think about it, Tottenham players originally thought that it would be good to attract 30,000 to 40,000 fans to watch the League Cup final, but they found that this stadium, which can accommodate nearly 75,000 fans, was actually overcrowded today, and The atmosphere in the stadium was also extremely warm. How could they not be surprised?
No wonder the fans are so enthusiastic. You know, since Brian Little led Aston Villa to win the English League Cup in 1996, no English coach has successfully led his team to the top in the seven years since then. Any of the major English football competitions (i.e. Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup)!
Therefore, when the fans noticed that it was actually two English managers, George Nelson and Allardyce, competing for the League Cup championship this time, the fans' enthusiasm was immediately greatly aroused!
