The team defeated Manchester United 1-0 at home and continues to lead the league standings. Tottenham fans are naturally extremely satisfied with this result. Even though archrival Arsenal also won a victory over Manchester City, it did not have any negative impact on their good mood.
In any case, with many generals leaving one after another this summer, and even the core playmaker Carrick transferring to Manchester United, Tottenham can advance in the league and Champions League at the beginning of the new season, and be in the two standings. Xanadu temporarily ranks first, and such an achievement is already commendable. Even the most picky fans and experts can't say that Tottenham's record is not good enough. At best, they are nitpicking, saying that Tottenham can only perform so well with a moment of bravery. When this momentum comes, As the season progresses and gradually fades away, Tottenham, which needs to face a multi-front battle situation, will soon be brought back to its original shape.
Tottenham players naturally sneered at this argument. If this argument is true, then it would be an impossible task for them to win consecutive League Cup and FA Cup championships while also finishing second in the Premier League last season. Therefore, no one from the Tottenham players took these negative remarks about them to heart!
Looking at Manchester United again, although they lost to White Hart Lane in the seventh round of the league, the team's ranking in the standings has also dropped further, and they have not won a head-to-head confrontation with George, but Ferguson does not have it in his heart. There was no amount of anger or impatience, but he was furious with the players after the game. In Sir Alex Ferguson's view, the reason why Manchester United lost to Tottenham this time was not because the players did not work hard enough, but because the overall strength of the Red Devils was not as good as the opponent. Under such circumstances, Sir Alex naturally does not need to blame these players under his hands, or demand that they complete tasks beyond their current capabilities during the game.
What's more, Ferguson has already spent most of his energy on how to adjust the offensive system in the frontcourt at this time, and there is no extra time to engage in these useless verbal disputes with the media!
After witnessing the huge lethality brought by wide attackers such as Pires and Ronaldo after mastering the skill of cutting inside, Ferguson, who is good at learning the advantages from his opponents, naturally planned to copy this routine to Manchester United. On the body. In this way, even if forward players such as Ruud van Nistelrooy cannot open up the situation for the team on the court, Manchester United can still have other tricks to score goals.
However, after this confrontation with Tottenham, Ferguson realized an issue that he had always ignored, that is, as Manchester United's striker ace, is Ruud van Nistelrooy willing to see such changes in the team?
You know, when Ferguson introduced Veron, who was in full swing at the time, from Lazio three years ago and tried to implement technical reforms at Manchester United, he was secretly resisted by veteran players such as Roy Keane. For these players who have become accustomed to the existing style of play and have achieved great success from it, they naturally do not want any changes in the team. Because this change in the tactical system usually brings about results they do not want to see - for example, some comrades who have fought alongside them for many years have to choose to leave because they cannot adapt to the new tactics, or they themselves Because of this change, I lost my main position at Manchester United!
In the end, Ferguson's major signing not only caused Veron to completely fall out of the ranks of top midfielders, but also made Sir Alex Ferguson's technical transformation of Manchester United unable to be successfully completed until now. The Red Devils' fourth-place finish in the league In this turbulent atmosphere, the consecutive championships turned into a dream and were successfully ended by the old rival Arsenal.
This is why, after the boot scandal, Sir Alex Ferguson was willing to risk drowning in the spit of fans all over the world to send Beckham away and forcibly dismantle the midfield that has brought countless honors and championship trophies to Manchester United. combination. Because Sir Alex clearly knows that if he does not use this reason to sell Beckham, regain the right to speak of the team in his own hands, and let these guys know who is the real boss of Manchester United, then this technological transformation will , I’m afraid there won’t be much progress for a long time in the future.
Therefore, when Ferguson discovered that in addition to the members of Class 92 and Roy Keane, Ruud Ruud was also involved in this muddy water, in addition to unspeakable anger, Sir Alex felt more The emotions of regret and regret.
"I hope Luther (Ruud) will be wiser and give up part of his power to Joaquin and the others." Ferguson felt a little aching in his heart when he thought that he was likely to send away another general for this reform. , but without the slightest hesitation, "Otherwise, I can only say sorry to him."
For Ferguson, who has made up his mind to implement technical transformation at Manchester United, no matter who is on the opposite side of him this time, he will ruthlessly eliminate them! Even players like Beckham and Ruud van Nistelrooy, who are almost indispensable for Manchester United now, will only receive the same treatment from Ferguson!
Just as Ferguson was preparing to deal with the veteran faction in the team that was gradually becoming unstoppable, George led the team to Turin, more than a thousand kilometers away from London, to prepare for the challenge of the second round of the Champions League group stage. This time, Tottenham's opponent is Serie A hegemon Juventus, led by gold medal coach Capello!
Since Juventus in this life failed to acquire the Swedish tower Ibrahimovic due to George's intervention, the Bianconeri's forward strength is naturally much weaker than in the previous life. However, compared with previous lives, Juventus' midfield has also become tougher - Dutch teenager De Jong, who transferred from Ajax in the summer, has shown excellent potential in the defensive midfielder position and successfully squeezed out The veteran Tachinadi, as well as competitors such as Brasi and Appiah, have become Emerson's best partner in the defensive midfielder position!
Facing such a Bianconeri with weakened offense but greatly improved defensive level, it is extremely difficult for Tottenham players who have never experienced Italian-style reinforced concrete defense to win a victory at the Alpstadion. !
Don’t forget, when it comes to defensive counterattacks, Juventus from Serie A and Capello, who is famous for this, are the real experts. If George doesn't take more precautions, he will probably be severely punished by the Bianconeri. Therefore, for this Champions League group match with Juventus, George's goal is also very clear-at least take away a draw and a point from the Alpi Stadium!
After all, this is not the knockout stage where a slight oversight may lead to wasted efforts, but the group stage with a higher error tolerance rate. Therefore, getting one point from Juventus in the away game is quite enough for Tottenham, whose goal is to get a qualifying spot in the group!
