Since it was already getting late, and also to avoid being watched by reporters outside the manor, after the meeting, Abramovich, Ferguson and others decided to agree to George's invitation to stay overnight at Boyd Leighton Manor and wait until tomorrow. Batch left quietly. 【爱↑去△小↓说△网wqu】
Early the next morning, Abramovich and others left after having breakfast. Ferguson, accompanied by George, went to the stables to take a look at the Rock of Gibraltar, which was now completely his. After entrusting George to raise this beloved horse, , and then hurriedly left Boyd Leyton Manor and rushed to the Carrington training base in Manchester.
George was not surprised by Ferguson's rushed attitude. Because this weekend, the 2004-05 Premier League season will officially kick off!
The most important thing is that Manchester United's opponents in the first round of the league have been on a strong rise since last year. Last season, they beat Manchester United to win third place in the league, Chelsea. In order to defend Manchester United's honor as Premier League hegemon, Ferguson must strive to win this game!
That’s why Ferguson’s actions seemed so urgent. Even his beloved horse only took a quick glance and then returned to Manchester without stopping. In Sir Alex Ferguson’s heart, Manchester United is obviously much more important than horse racing!
Compared to Manchester United, which will face off against Chelsea in the opening game, George's Tottenham are also not that lucky. [爱↑去△小↓TALK△网wqu] Because Tottenham’s opponent in the league’s opening game was the Red Army Liverpool, who lost their qualification for the Champions League this season due to the butterfly effect set off by George!
In the first round of the league, two strong dialogues were arranged between Manchester United and Chelsea, and Tottenham and Liverpool. It is obvious that the Premier League wants to heat up the atmosphere as soon as possible and attract neutral fans.
For this confrontation with Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool can be said to be full of expectations. They did not surrender in advance just because their opponent in the opening game was last season's league runner-up and domestic cup double champion.
And Liverpool fans are also full of confidence in the Red Army's first victory. In their view, Liverpool, which has added strong players such as Robbie Keane, Cisse, and Luis Garcia in the summer, has a better chance of winning the game than Liverpool, which has lost many capable players such as Heinze and Carrick. Turnham Hotspur is much bigger!
Not to mention, in the eyes of many Liverpool fans, Tottenham have become a mortal enemy. So no matter what, they hope to see their players celebrating their victory on the sidelines at the end of the game!
The main reason for this situation is that on the one hand, George Nelson's strong Manchester United brand has aroused strong hostility from Liverpool fans; on the other hand, it is because, in the eyes of Liverpool fans, George and Tod Naham Hotspur are the main culprit for Liverpool's failure to qualify for the Champions League!
If George had not taken charge of Tottenham, then Tottenham would still be a half-dead mid-range team that could not even reach the threshold of the European competition. It would be impossible for them to soar to the Premier League runner-up last season. In this way, Liverpool will not be squeezed out of the top four in the league, and will have to face the embarrassing situation of being called a giant but still missing the Champions League.
Whether a club can consistently win a Champions League seat is an important criterion for measuring whether a club can be called a top club. Therefore, for Liverpool Club, a member of the G14 League, the reality of failing to qualify for the Champions League for two consecutive seasons has brought considerable pressure to the former hegemon of English football.
Of course, this does not mean that clubs that cannot win the Champions League are necessarily not wealthy clubs. For example, Serie A during the Little World Cup period, and the Premier League during the period when George traveled through the period known as the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period". At that time, many teams in the two major leagues missed the Champions League not because of their lack of strength, but because the competition within the league was too fierce, which prevented them from getting a chance to show off in the Champions League. At this time, some strong teams will also be regarded as giants. However, the current overall strength of the Premier League is obviously not enough for Liverpool to receive this level of special treatment.
It has to be said that most fans are an extremely blind group of people. They also don’t think about it. With George’s assets and love for football, even if they don’t acquire Tottenham Hotspur and choose to become the owner of another Premier League club, Liverpool will definitely be ranked in the standings at the end of last season. Top four position?
Liverpool's desire for victory naturally did not escape George's eyes. Therefore, after the banquet and in the few days before the start of the league opener, George not only made targeted arrangements for several core players of Liverpool, but also repeatedly emphasized to the players at the team meeting that there must be no Any feeling of underestimating the enemy!
You know, in George's previous life, it was this Liverpool team that dominated and staged the Miracle in Istanbul. Faced with the extremely unfavorable situation of falling behind by three goals in the first half, most teams would have been beaten long ago, but Liverpool did not give up. In the second half, they pulled three goals in a row to bring the two teams back to the same starting line. , finally defeated AC Milan in a penalty shootout, and won the Big Ears Cup for the fifth time in the club's history!
Therefore, even if Liverpool in this life does not have the midfield brain of Alonso, George will not dare to underestimate this Red Army. In other words, as long as Gerrard, a player who is like the soul of the Reds, is still at Anfield, Liverpool can never relax their vigilance before the referee blows the final whistle. Because no one knows whether Liverpool, which is in adversity, will suddenly break out and then make a successful comeback.
On August 14, the White Hart Lane stadium was buzzing with people. More than 32,000 Tottenham fans and more than 3,000 Liverpool fans who came from afar filled the stands on all sides, waiting for the highlight of the first round of the Premier League. The battle officially begins. Those fans from both sides who failed to buy tickets reluctantly surrounded the stadium outside, hoping to be lucky enough to buy someone else's refunded ticket!
"Steven (Gerrard), whether we can win this game depends largely on your performance... I hope you won't let me and the fans who support us down." In the visiting team's locker room , Benitez, who had just finished the last tactical arrangement before the game, said this to Gerrard in a solemn tone. With Xavi Alonso, the intended midfield commander, being intercepted by Tottenham and Thiago Motta, the first alternative target, being retained by Barcelona, he could only place his hope on Jay. Ladd can take on more responsibilities in the midfield.
Although the glorious record of leading Valencia to win the La Liga and UEFA Cup double last season allowed Benitez to join the ranks of Europe's top coaches and received a coaching invitation from Liverpool, the Spanish coach knew very well that in the Valencia's success is just a stepping stone for him to enter the circle of top coaches and the vision of wealthy clubs. If he cannot achieve excellent results at Anfield, then Cooper and Houllier will end up with Bennett at Inter Milan and Liverpool. A lesson learned from Sri Lanka!
Therefore, for the first league match with Tottenham Hotspur, Benitez can be said to be bound to win!
