Tottenham beat Crystal Palace 7-1 away from home. As soon as this news came out, many English teams were immediately frightened. You know, less than a month ago, Crystal Palace played against Tottenham in the league, and relied on a controversial penalty kick to take away a draw and a point from White Hart Lane. It also caused controversy after the game. A war of words between the two clubs over player integrity. Thinking of the scene at that time can be said to be vivid for these teams.
However, what they didn't expect was that Tottenham's revenge would come so quickly and leave no room for anything. In this game, although Crystal Palace once again relied on Andrew Johnson's wonderful performance to win a penalty kick, Tottenham had already used an extremely fierce offensive to dismantle the home team!
Seven to one! This is the most disparate game since the start of the English League this season! Tottenham used a hearty victory to wash away the shame of being tied by Crystal Palace at home!
It is precisely because of the strong revenge mentality of Tottenham after suffering a loss that after the game between Tottenham and Crystal Palace, almost all British clubs listed Tottenham on the list that must not be provoked! Because they have all clearly realized that there is no problem in defeating Tottenham in a head-on confrontation, but if they dare to play dirty tricks in the game, they must be mentally prepared to withstand the anger from Tottenham!
The big away victory against Crystal Palace did not stop Tottenham players from chasing victory. In the fourth round of the FA Cup a week later, Tottenham Hotspur, with all substitutes on the bench, challenged league vice-president West Bromwich Albion. After a full ninety minutes of fierce fighting, Tottenham defeated their opponent 1-0 with a heavy shot from Edgar Davis, and advanced to the FA Cup quarterfinals without any danger!
Although when he originally chose to move to Tottenham on a free transfer, Davis planned to continue to serve as the core midfielder at White Hart Lane and make a career here to counter Lippi and Moggi's "Lian Po old man". ” evaluation. It would be great if they could get a chance to play directly against Juventus in the European competition and teach the old woman who burns bridges a lesson.
However, after coming to Tottenham, Davis discovered that his previous calculation was really wrong. Because both Xabi Alonso and Basturk have shown that they are not inferior to him in terms of strength and level. Their age advantage and stable condition allow them to firmly control the main midfield. Location!
Although Davis has considered transferring to other clubs to seek a starting position, as Tottenham's results are getting better and better, and they are advancing in the league and Champions League, the head coach has not given up on his preference for Alonso and Barca. The combination of Sturke ignored his feelings, and the playing time was not much less than that of the two main players. The Dutch Boar, who was about to turn 32, finally gave up the idea and settled down to play at Tottenham. Become a member of the rotation.
However, even so, it does not mean that Davis's ambitions have dissipated as he grows older. For example, this time, when the team was in a predicament of not scoring, it was Davis who stepped forward and decisively used a long shot to help Tottenham solve West Bromwich Albion. Actions explain what it means to be "an old man who is brave, but who aims for a thousand miles"!
In the 25th round of the English League three days later, when Tottenham played against Bolton, it was Edgar Davis again. The Dutch Wild Boar first used a through ball to assist Klose to score just one minute after coming on as a substitute, and then sent a key interception in the 85th minute of the game, interrupting Okocha and Diouf. The counterattack connection did not allow the Senegalese who had already run out of position to form a single attack, helping Tottenham beat the "Quick Horse" (Bolton's nickname) with one goal at the Reebok Stadium and continue to lead the standings with a one-point advantage!
As the saying goes, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. In Tottenham Hotspur, which has mostly young players, veteran Edgar Davis uses his rich game experience to lead Tottenham, which lacks championship experience, to move forward tenaciously!
It can be said that if Davis had not been active during this period, Tottenham would have been overtaken by Chelsea in the standings, who also had a winning streak. How could they still be sitting in the standings with the Blues as they are now? On the throne?
Three days later, on February 5th, Tottenham Hotspur, who returned to White Hart Lane after three consecutive away trips, faced the challenge of Portsmouth!
Although Portsmouth unexpectedly finished 13th in the Premier League as a newly promoted team last season under the leadership of Old Redknapp, starting from this season, Old Red, as the team’s head coach, The power struggle between Knapp and club president Mandalic intensified, leading to the former being fired outright by the latter at the end of last year. After squeezing out the old Redknapp, Zajec who took over did not have the coaching skills and prestige of the old Redknapp, which caused a considerable negative impact on the results of the Pompeii Legion.
However, despite the many problems within the team, Portsmouth performed quite well in this game - facing Alonso, Cristiano Ronaldo, Robben, Mascherano and other generals due to injuries. Or Tottenham, who had accumulated yellow cards and could not play. They conceded a goal first and Jakub equalized the score in the 34th minute, and maintained the one-to-one score until the end of the game!
However, just when everyone thought Tottenham would be defeated in front of Portsmouth, another veteran in the team, Darren Anderton, who came from Tottenham's youth training, stepped forward. In the 88th minute of the game, Anderton kicked a magic ball 35 meters away from the goal, which passed through the goal guarded by Hislop. At the last moment Help Tottenham beat Portsmouth!
Two to one! With Darren Anderton's priceless goal, Tottenham finally defeated visiting Portsmouth and took three points at home!
What excites Tottenham the most is that Chelsea, who are also sitting at home, overturned against Manchester City. Due to Ibrahimovic's accumulation of yellow cards and suspension, the Blues, who had to let Kežman serve as the single arrow, also fell into trouble in this game. The predicament of weak offense finally shook hands with Blue Moon after 90 minutes!
As a result, after the 26th round of the league, with the help of Chelsea's stalemate at home against Manchester City, Tottenham have successfully expanded their lead in the standings to three points!
