Although George still has a lot of work to do in the transfer market, such as doing ideological work on Klose himself and changing his intention to join Bremen; and negotiating with Manchester United about Carrick and Heinze. transfer negotiations, taking advantage of Ferguson's desire for the two, so as to maximize Tottenham's interests, etc. [爱↑去△小↓说△网wqu] But generally speaking, George’s focus during this period is still on the upcoming FA Cup final. As for the transfer, George has only made a general plan and left it to his subordinates to conduct the most basic inquiries and negotiations. There has not been much substantive contact.

Only by winning more and more championship trophies will Tottenham become more and more attractive to players. Arsenal in later generations is the most typical negative case. Although the Gunners have guaranteed to qualify for the Champions League despite selling off their main players in consecutive years, fans and media all praise Wenger, but there have never been many first-line stars willing to do so. Joined Arsenal, which also belongs to the "big 4" of the Premier League. Why? It's not because they have no hope of winning the championship at Arsenal!

Compared with Arsenal, Barcelona and Real Madrid are obviously the most powerful proofs of this argument. Although there are many stars who have stopped their upward momentum or even gone downhill after joining these two giants (such as Zyglinski, Sanchez, Shaheen, etc.), there are still a large number of stars who are eager to get from Barcelona or ​​every summer. It's Real Madrid's call. Few people care whether they will sit through the benches of Camp Nou or Bernabeu. The reason for this is also very simple, that is, in Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​they have the opportunity to become the top stars in international football and win the highest level of collective and individual honors as professional players!

Therefore, for Tottenham now, if they defeat Millwall and win the FA Cup championship that is just around the corner, they can have another very important weight when recruiting players in the future!

In this way, the time came to May 22, which was the day of the 2003-04 FA Cup final. On this day, the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, which can accommodate 74,500 spectators, was packed. Countless fans of Millwall and Tottenham filled the stands on all sides, desperately cheering for the teams they supported!

Yes, despite the huge disparity in strength between the two sides in this FA Cup final, Tottenham Hotspur led by George is the runner-up winner of the Premier League this season, while Millwall on the other side is just a team from A team in the English League One, but for English fans who have always been passionate about football, this did not cause any obstacles for them to come to the scene to watch the game. George even saw many Millwall and their own fans outside the stadium holding cardboard with "Buy Tickets at High Prices" written on them, hoping to get good luck from scalpers or some who were unable to come to watch the game for some reason. of fans bought tickets for this FA Cup final!

To be honest, it's not surprising that such a situation is hard to find. After all, whether they are Tottenham Hotspur or Millwall fans, they have not seen the team stand on the podium and win the championship trophy for a long time - Tottenham may still It's better. This season's Premier League runners-up and League Cup champions have satisfied Tottenham fans' desire for honor to a certain extent. In addition, Tottenham and Millwall are not mortal enemies, so they can still be more or less rational. Treating this FA Cup final; Millwall is different. They have been relegated to the secondary league before the establishment of the Premier League. It can be said that they attach great importance to this opportunity to win the FA Cup trophy. They not only give up He has attended the previous few League One games, and the main players have gone to Cardiff early for field adaptation training, in order to increase the chance of defeating Tottenham as much as possible!

Although the Millwall football hooligans who have been waiting for opportunities to cause trouble have caused a lot of headaches for the organizers of the game, and the security of the game has been repeatedly strengthened, this also illustrates from another perspective how bad the football atmosphere in England is. strong. [爱↑去△小↓说△网wqu] After all, if a second-tier league team met in the domestic cup final, if this kind of thing happened in any other country except the UK, I am afraid it would be weak. Neither side would have so many supporters coming to the scene to cheer, let alone a large number of football hooligans.

It is precisely because England has the best football soil in Europe that it was able to survive despite being banned by UEFA for five years, lagging behind mainstream European leagues in terms of technique and tactics, and being on the verge of financial collapse. Within ten years, they had squeezed out of the Bundesliga and returned to the ranks of Europe's top leagues.

You know, in the previous Serie A, after the Calciopoli scandal broke out, the Italian team's appeal dropped sharply, but it took a full ten years for the Italian team to not recover. They could only rely on the returning Milan duo and Juventus to make ends meet. Supporting the table, in the later period, only one club, Juventus, was left to take action. In comparison, the speed of recovery and rise of English football is obviously extremely amazing!

That's why George finds it quite incredible that the England national team is so popular in international competitions every year, but always goes home early to go fishing - no matter what, the fans are your food and clothing parents, and when it comes to international competitions Just become a soft-footed shrimp, is it worthy of the fans' strong support? !

Closer to home, let’s take a look at George’s formation in this FA Cup final. Since he has lived in England for nearly twenty years, George is naturally very familiar with Millwall's barbaric style and those notorious football hooligans. Therefore, in this game, George hid players prone to injuries such as Darren Anderton and Bierovka, and sent out players such as Ribery, Cristiano Ronaldo, Luca Toni, and Drogba. Either a young player with strong resilience, or a player with enough physical fitness to start the game!

Regarding George's behavior that violated the agreement, the players naturally understood the good intentions of their head coach and did not have any objections to George because of it - after all, anyone who knows a little bit about English football knows that Millwall's football How strong is the wind!

You know, when Millwall had just been promoted to League One (the top league in England at the time), even Liverpool, the dominant player in English football, was defeated by their sturdy playing style. Therefore, Anderton and others who are suffering from injuries will naturally not risk their careers against Millwall for a starting qualification.

Millwall players are not stupid either. They also know very well that if they have a fierce battle with the powerful Tottenham in the game, then they will only be in a dead end. If they want to win, they can only use their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. Therefore, under the strategizing of Dennis Wise, the former England international and currently the captain and head coach of Millwall, Millwall established a strategy of hoarding heavy troops in the backcourt and using rough play and iron barrel formation to deal with Tottenham. strategic policy!

Less than ten minutes after the start of the game, Dennis Wise, who started the game, took the lead. This villain who was once famous in the Premier League made a malicious foul on Ronaldo and Carrick respectively. , in an attempt to make these young people in his eyes fearful and not dare to launch an offensive easily.

With Wise, the captain and head coach, teaching by words and deeds, in this game, most of the Millwall players also followed the style of playing against the person but not the ball, desperately trying to arouse the anger of the Tottenham players, trying to use this This way of irritating opponents makes Tottenham players unable to perform at their normal level due to their impatience, thereby achieving their goal of winning in chaos!

However, the Millwall players, or Dennis Wise's wishful thinking did not have the expected results. Even though the game had a tendency to turn into a wrestling battle by Millwall, Tottenham players did not become impatient because of this. They still controlled their emotions well, dealt with their opponents on the court, and constantly used cooperation and coordination. A wide range of transfers and tearing mobilized Millwall's defense to find opportunities to score!

No wonder. In any case, Tottenham players have just experienced some practice in the league. If they can't hold back in the face of this level of provocation, then how will they compete with opponents such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal for the league championship in the future? ?

In the 44th minute of the game, G. Neville, who was assisting on the right, passed a good ball. Cristiano Ronaldo, who unknowingly switched to the left, rushed to the goal like a ghost and helped the team with a clean header. Breaking the deadlock opened the door to victory for Tottenham!
