After defeating Chelsea with three goals at home and tying with Manchester United in the standings, Tottenham players ushered in the last game of this intensive schedule two days later, which was the 34th round of the Premier League against Bolton!
Although compared with Chelsea, Bolton, currently only twelfth in the standings, is obviously not a strong opponent, but for Tottenham, who played four games in eight days, this game with Bolton is obviously a bit The straw that breaks the camel's back means.
Sure enough, on April 17, facing Bolton, who played mainly with power flow, although Tottenham players wanted to win a victory at the Reebok Stadium, and although George continued to significantly rotate the starting lineup, Their physical strength had been squeezed to the limit in the past few days, but they were now powerless.
In this game, after Roy Keane gets old, there are faint signs of taking over as the Premier League's number one villain, Kevin Davis, showing off his talents. Taking advantage of playing at home, Kevin Davis used an endless stream of small moves and fouls to defeat the two starting central defenders Vermaelen and Vidic, creating numerous scoring opportunities for Bolton during the game. Although Mascherano and Carrick wanted to help the defense relieve the huge pressure brought by Davis, Djorkaeff and Okocha who were watching eagerly from the side did not dare to act rashly, for fear that they would just leave. , giving the opponent a chance to easily hit the goal.
On the defensive end, they could not withstand Bolton's offensive. On the offensive end, Tottenham players who were trapped in continuous battles and lack of physical strength also did not achieve much. Especially when Bolton players used extremely fierce and rough defensive actions to destroy Tottenham's offense time and time again, Tottenham players who had no spare power to resolve this extremely destructive defensive method of the home team had to look at the "door" and sigh, and at the same time helpless I watched the referee who was suspected of being super myopic repeatedly let go of Bolton players' defensive actions that were almost indistinguishable from fouls.
If it weren't for Cech's high pass and low block in front of the goal to keep the goal open, and even Djorkaeff's close shot failed to penetrate the Czech's fingers, I'm afraid Tottenham wouldn't have to wait until the first half of the game. At the end, we have to face the unfavorable situation of falling behind.
In the end, relying on Cech's heroic performance in this game, Tottenham Hotspur's away game at the Reebok Stadium ended with a goalless draw with Bolton, ending this devilish schedule with a draw!
Four games in eight days. Such a schedule is likely to frustrate the Gunners even if Arsenal, currently ranked first in the league, encounters them. However, Tottenham achieved two wins and two draws during this period, climbing from fourth in the league to second in the standings. I have to say that this is really a rare thing.
Although Tottenham drew with Bolton Wanderers away from home in this round of the league, Tottenham did not lose heart. Because in other games that ended at the same time, Manchester United was defeated by Portsmouth at Fratton Park. A low-level mistake by goalkeeper Howard caused the Red Devils to regretfully lose in the away game; Chelsea, who was distracted by the Champions League, Ranieri's team also failed to win a victory. At Stamford Bridge, Everton, who was fighting for relegation, had a goalless draw. Ranieri's team was winless in four consecutive league games!
Therefore, Tottenham, who had a draw in this round of the Premier League, unexpectedly overtook Manchester United in the standings, beating the Red Devils by a slight advantage of one point, and ranked second in the standings behind their arch-rival Arsenal. s position. Manchester United, which lost this round, has the same points as Chelsea and is tied for third in the league in the standings.
Ferguson was naturally very dissatisfied with this situation. After all, Manchester United has been troubled at the goalkeeper position since Schmeichel retired. Therefore, Sir Alex Ferguson chose to sell Barthez, who performed reasonably well, in favor of a newcomer named Howard last summer.
To be honest, the American's performance in the first half was quite good. His steady performance and wonderful saves were important factors that allowed Manchester United to compete with Arsenal for the top spot in the first half. However, when the time came to 2004, especially after Ferdinand was suspended for eight months by the Football Association due to the drug test scandal, Howard's performance began to become unstable, and he frequently appeared in low-level games. The mistake directly caused Manchester United to fall behind in the championship battle with Arsenal. It was also the main culprit for the Red Devils' upset elimination by Porto in the Champions League quarter-finals!
It was precisely because of the endless low-level mistakes in the second half of the season that Howard, who had played for Manchester United for less than a season, was sentenced to death by Ferguson. If nothing else happens, Manchester United's main goalkeeper may have to be replaced again next season.
It has to be said that Ferguson, who has always been very patient with young people, has a completely different attitude towards goalkeepers. If they are players in other positions, Sir Alex will allow them to play inconsistently or make low-level mistakes; but for goalkeepers, once they make similar mistakes, what awaits them is often being thrown into the cold palace or changed hands by Sir Alex Ferguson. Sold ending.
The most interesting thing is that after being defeated by the Pompeii Legion, Ferguson, who was already thirsty for excellent goalkeepers, also asked George about the price of Petr Cech, intending to bring the Czech goalkeeper to Old Trafford. However, George naturally resolutely rejected Sir Alex Ferguson's offer - what a joke, in today's international football, any outstanding goalkeeper is not treated as a treasure by the club they play for, how could they be sold to other clubs? team, and also a direct competitor on the league battlefield?
Moreover, unlike Carrick and Heinze who already have substitutes, in George's previous life, before the skull fracture, Cech was a strong man capable of competing with Buffon for the world's No. 1 goalkeeper throne. Even though his ability to judge the path of the ball is no longer what it used to be after a serious injury, the Czech goalkeeper is still considered a first-class goalkeeper in international football.
Of course, Ferguson could see that George's refusal this time was much more decisive than when he talked about the transfer of Carrick and Heinze before, so after getting the latter's reply, he decisively gave up the plan to introduce Cech - -Although it is possible to lure the Czech to Old Trafford through secret collusion, in this case, Tottenham and Manchester United will inevitably turn against each other, and the mentor and disciple George and Ferguson will also sever their ties. And this is obviously not what Ferguson wants to see.
After all, things like forced poaching and private contact usually only happen between clubs with widely different statuses. And for a club like Tottenham that has the support of the Nelson family, Manchester United obviously cannot use this kind of forbidden trick casually. After all, once this trick is used, it means that the two clubs will definitely come to the point of breaking up.
Even if the Nelson family has never expressed support for Tottenham, just look at George, the future head and first heir of the Nelson family, who is the owner of Tottenham Hotspur Club. Who dares to really think that Manchester United has crossed the line? After that default bottom line, will the Nelson family launch a counterattack against Manchester United?
Therefore, out of consideration of these two factors, Ferguson decided to give up introducing Cech and instead search for other goalkeepers that meet Manchester United's requirements.
Now back to the subject, after the draw with Bolton, Tottenham players, who will not play the next game until a week later, have a rare day of rest to relieve the fatigue accumulated during this period. The most interesting thing is that Tottenham's next opponent is their city rival, Arsenal, who tops the standings!
In this regard, Arsenal fans naturally sighed a little and lamented their team's bad luck. If Arsenal is Tottenham's last opponent in that devilish schedule, then the possibility of Arsenal defeating Tottenham and breaking the cycle of consecutive defeats against Tottenham this season will undoubtedly be much greater. Fortunately, Tottenham now have a full week to prepare before facing Arsenal. The fatigue caused by the previous devilish schedule to Tottenham players will definitely be greatly alleviated, and the possibility of Arsenal winning this game will be greatly reduced.
Of course, there are also many Gunners fans who do not take this showdown with Tottenham seriously. In their view, unlike cup games where the winner must be decided, Arsenal does not need to compete with Tottenham in this game when the overall situation of the league has been decided. As long as they play steadily and win a draw, they will be fine. That's it.
Some Arsenal fans even shouted the slogan "Win the league undefeated" before the game, trying to motivate the team and give the players enough motivation to deal with the game against Tottenham!
This slogan from Arsenal fans naturally aroused strong dissatisfaction from the whole Tottenham team - Arsenal obviously have not defeated us this season, and the last two games have all ended in defeat. How can you be so confident? Can you escape unscathed at White Hart Lane this time?
"Haha, I really don't know where they got this courage." Seeing Arsenal actually shouting the slogan of winning the championship undefeated, George's competitive spirit couldn't help but be aroused, "Now it seems that if we don't give Arsenal a little A profound lesson to break their unrealistic fantasy, which will greatly disappoint our fans."
"It is necessary to teach Arsenal a lesson. But George, why do I feel that there is a bit of conspiracy in this?" Charlie, who is more experienced, obviously thought more about it than George, who is highly competitive. "You know, in the first few days, In the first match against Arsenal, we all adopted defensive counterattacks and resolutely blocked the center to win the final victory. I am worried that Arsenal is doing this now just to encourage us to take the initiative in the game and give up. The previous defensive counterattack style allowed them to get more offensive space!"
After Old Charlie reminded him, George couldn't help but become alert. Obviously, he also realized what old Charlie was worried about, that is, after Arsenal made such a statement, its own players might not be as calm as before waiting for counterattack opportunities. In this way, Arsenal is likely to get a chance to score!
All in all, preventing and breaking Arsenal's dream of winning the league undefeated has been listed by George as Tottenham's most important task at present! Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
