The points advantage has shrunk to just one point, and the unbeaten streak has stopped at forty-seven games. The dream of winning the championship undefeated in the season has been shattered... Only one day has passed, and Todt, who was still impressive before, Naham Hotspur received a series of extremely bad news after losing to Liverpool. The originally promising championship situation suddenly became precarious!
In particular, the record of forty-seven consecutive league unbeaten games was ended by the Red Army, which was not only an extremely heavy blow to Tottenham players mentally and psychologically, but also gave Chelsea hope of reversing the championship - you know, although Being on a team that has been undefeated for a long time will put considerable psychological pressure on the players, but opponents will also be afraid of this team when they play against each other. And if this continuously undefeated team suddenly loses, then this huge psychological gap is enough to have a serious negative impact on the morale and spirit of the players, and it may even be like AC Milan in the past and Arsenal in the previous life. In this way, after the undefeated Julu team was ended, a wave of consecutive defeats will begin, which will affect the team's subsequent championship situation!
To be honest, this defeat came at a very bad time, because it happened to be the second game of Tottenham's devilish schedule - they suffered such a heavy blow just at the beginning of the devilish schedule, not to mention that Tottenham would have to play against them later. Top clubs such as Manchester United, Arsenal and Juventus compete head-to-head. No matter how you look at it, the situation facing Tottenham at this time has become extremely serious!
It can be said that if George cannot let the team get out of the shadow of losing to Liverpool as soon as possible and adjust its mentality, then Tottenham is very likely to encounter a wave of consecutive losses in subsequent games, thus ushering in an ending with all four losses!
Looking at Liverpool, although defeating Tottenham only brought three points to the Red Army, there is still as many as eight points between them and fourth-placed Manchester United (note: due to the rise of Tottenham, Liverpool missed the championship this season) Cup, so the Red Army's performance in the Premier League was far less miserable than in the previous life), but after the game, almost everyone in Liverpool from players to fans fell into a state of ecstasy and danced wildly in various public places. Celebrate this "great" victory!
Only a few Liverpool players, such as Gerrard and Hyypia, did not show too much joy at this time. Because in their view, Liverpool, who had used all their main players and had the advantage of home court, actually struggled to defeat Tottenham Hotspur with almost a full substitute lineup by one goal. Such a result is not worthy of their celebration. In other words, Liverpool, who would celebrate such a victory, has already fallen to the bottom in terms of level!
You know, unless it's a victory between mortal enemies or a key battle, how can any giant be so excited just because they beat a team that's not as good as their own and has only been on the rise for more than a year?
It was from this moment that Gerrard began to doubt his future in Liverpool for the first time - in such a team with no ambition at all, they won a fake and shoddy version of the strong dialogue. Is there any point in playing for a team that is as happy as winning the league championship?
Let’s stop talking about Gerrard’s psychological changes here, and now let’s get back to the subject. Although the result of losing to Liverpool made Tottenham feel extremely frustrated, time will not stop moving forward. No, just two days after the Liverpool game, Tottenham ushered in the FA Cup semi-finals with Manchester United. The two sides will fight for a ticket to the FA Cup final at Old Trafford. A fierce fight!
Since the substitutes played the entire game against Liverpool two days ago, it is naturally impossible for George to let them play consecutive games who have consumed a lot of energy. Therefore, in this FA Cup semi-final, George sent a starting lineup that was a mix of main players and substitute players.
Goalkeeper Casey Keller, right back Stephen Carr, center backs Vermaelen and Dawson, left back Evra, Speed, Mascherano and Davis formed a back three, with Mendie Tower serves as the midfield commander in front, and the front line is the duo of Klose and Villa. This is Tottenham's starting eleven for this game!
As for Manchester United, they were eliminated from the Champions League early, had no hope of competing for the league title, and had a considerable amount of initiative in the battle for fourth place in the standings with Liverpool and Everton. Ferguson naturally took advantage of the situation. The FA Cup is regarded as the last straw to prevent the Red Devils from losing all four places this season. Not to mention, the lordship has always wanted to regain some ground from George, his disciple. So in this game, Ferguson naturally sent out his strongest lineup without reservation!
Tim Howard, Gary Neville, Wes Brown, Rio Ferdinand, Heinze, Joaquin, Roy Keane, Scholes, Fortune, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Wayne Rooney. Except for Giggs, who was unable to play due to injury, all other main players of Manchester United started. It can be seen that Ferguson is bound to win this game!
Before the game started, most media and football critics expressed their preference for Manchester United to advance to the FA Cup final. On the one hand, it is because Tottenham has lost a new game, and it is difficult for its players to adjust their mentality to deal with a strong enemy like Manchester United in a short period of time; on the other hand, it is because Tottenham is still distracted by the league and the Champions League, and it is impossible to be like If Manchester United concentrates its efforts on the FA Cup, its combat effectiveness will naturally be much worse than that of the Red Devils.
In order to make their point of view more convincing, these people also painstakingly summarized a rule. That is so far, Ferguson has never lost an FA Cup semi-final!
Therefore, the news that Tottenham is about to suffer a losing streak, collapse in the final stage of the season and gain nothing, has become very popular among non-Tottenham fans.
Although Ronaldo was scooped up by George to get Tottenham in this life, Manchester United also recruited good prospects like Joaquin and Rooney to replace them. Under the guidance of Ferguson, young players such as Joaquin and Rooney have made great progress. The former's sharp wing breakthrough and the latter's top-notch impact were fully utilized by Sir Alex Ferguson and became Manchester United's main attack method on the field!
For example, in today's game, just five minutes after the opening whistle, Manchester United seized the opportunity and completed a wonderful frontcourt connection between Joaquin and Rooney - Joaquin accelerated and broke through Evra's defense and sent the ball forward. With a pass from a 45-degree angle, Rooney, who inserted into the penalty area from the left side, squeezed away the defender Vermaelen and then shot the ball directly through Casey Keller's fingers!
One to zero! With the outstanding performance of Rooney and Joaquin, Manchester United successfully broke through the door of Tottenham in the first five minutes of the game and ushered in a dream start!
