Tottenham fell behind by two goals in less than 20 minutes and came back from four consecutive games to defeat Real Madrid. Such a result not only refreshed people's understanding of Real Madrid, but also made everyone realize that , Tottenham did not relax because of their success in winning the championship last season. They are still one of the most powerful teams in European football!
Especially Tottenham's performance in the first half of the second half of the game shocked all the head coaches who were paying close attention to Tottenham's movements - with Real Madrid's lineup configuration, Tottenham would actually be beaten by all the main players for a period of time. They were unable to move in the half, so what kind of performance will their team perform when they meet Tottenham?
Although the current Real Madrid is no longer the Galacticos that everyone feared during the Bosque era. The aging and departure of superstars have caused a serious decline in the strength of this La Liga giant, but even so, the skinny camel is better than the horse. Big, Real Madrid is not someone that can be bullied by its opponents. Not to mention, the famous coach Hitzfield is currently coaching Real Madrid. Under his training, the combat effectiveness of the Galaxy Battleship has improved a lot compared to last season! Otherwise, Real Madrid would not be able to overpower their arch-rival Barcelona and temporarily top the La Liga standings!
However, it is such a Real Madrid team that was beaten by Tottenham after a brief highlight in the opening stage. How can this not make other teams panic?
At the same time, Real Madrid's backyard, which had finally calmed down, was in trouble again because of this defeat. Calderon, who thought he had waited for the opportunity, once again criticized Lafayette's team building ideas, and wanted to use this to push Flo. Lentino ousted himself as Real Madrid president so he could ascend to the throne!
However, Calderon may still only get a disappointing result this time. After all, Real Madrid's record after the start of the new season is still quite good. Just one defeat is impossible to shake Florentino's rule!
At the same time, Real Madrid fans are also questioning the correctness of Hitzfeld's move to put Raul on the bench. In their minds, the King of the Ring should always appear in the starting lineup, rather than sitting on the bench as a spectator!
Hitzfield didn't even think about paying attention to the questions raised by the fans. On the one hand, it is because he had some communication with Raul before the game and obtained the consent of his captain, so he is not worried that Raul will be dissatisfied; on the other hand, it is because he has always intended to weaken the local players in the locker room. Florentino, who has the right to speak for the Bundesliga, also supports the German's move and hopes to further combat the influence of the local Bundesliga in the team!
In George's previous life, Florentino spared no effort to combat local gangs within Real Madrid during his two tenures as Real Madrid chairman. Because Lafayette simply cannot tolerate local gangs who have too much say in the team and can even influence the head coach's decision-making to a certain extent. He believes that this is an obstacle that must be removed for Real Madrid to go global!
In order to achieve this goal, he did not hesitate to forcibly drive away many players with strong influence in Real Madrid such as Hierro, Raul and Guti. Even so, Florentino was not considered accomplished until he sent Casillas away - before that, the battle between the local gang and foreign forces had never subsided at the Bernabeu Stadium. Even when the team performed well, it did not change the situation.
Let’s stop talking about Real Madrid for now, now the topic turns back to Tottenham. Just two days after the game against Real Madrid, Tottenham players ushered in the eighth round of the Premier League. Their opponent in this round of the league is Charlton who are also in London!
Although Charlton's level can only be regarded as mid-to-lower among the 20 Premier League teams, the overall strength has further declined after Di Canio and Scott Parker left. The biggest signing in the summer was only from Chelsea. Russian international Smertin was rented, but Charlton had a troublesome problem, that is, they played quite well in the first half of each season, causing a lot of trouble for many strong teams!
Not to mention, Charlton and Tottenham are already in London, and the duel between the two teams can be called a derby. This undoubtedly further increases Charlton's motivation to score points in this round!
Although Tottenham players no longer care much about this so-called derby, this does not mean that Charlton players have the same view. Rather, they hope to perform well enough in this game to win more attention!
Living in the same city as Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham, without the support of a wealthy owner, Charlton is destined to only play the role of a follower. Living in the shadow of these clubs for a long time, and the team's record has always been tepid, resulting in Charlton's lack of enough attention. Therefore, if the players here want to get further opportunities, the best way is to grab them. Take the opportunity to play against a strong team directly and perform with enough eye-catching performance!
For example, this game against Tottenham. Facing Tottenham, who had just played a fierce battle with Real Madrid for 90 minutes and had not yet fully adjusted their condition, the Charlton players who visited White Hart Lane looked extremely excited. This team, which still adheres to the concept of traditional English football, created a lot of trouble for Tottenham with its simple and crude long pass and flying tactics from both wings. Especially core midfielder Danny Murphy and striker ace Darren Bent. These two players performed very well in this game. They not only exerted strong pressure on Tottenham's defense on the offensive end, but also Threaten the door guarded by Cech several times during the game!
If it weren't for Cech's heroic performance in this game, he blocked the goal with a high pass and even blocked Darren Bent's right-footed low shot from close at hand. At the same time, Klose scored in the 30th minute of the game. At the minute, Arshavin's corner kick was taken and he succeeded six meters in front of the goal, helping the team stabilize their position in time. I am afraid that Tottenham will suffer its first defeat of the season in this round of league!
In the end, thanks to Klose's header, Tottenham, who were in poor condition due to a double match in a week, defeated Charlton at home with difficulty and continued to lead the league standings with a slight advantage of one point!
Tottenham's victory over Charlton at home greatly diluted the joy of Chelsea players' 4-1 victory over Liverpool at Anfield, and also made the Blues feel helpless - no matter how good they performed, It is indeed quite frustrating to look up after a game and see a familiar name on Chelsea's head.
As for Liverpool, who lost miserably to Chelsea, after this round of league games, the Red Army further consolidated their position in the relegation zone. So far, Liverpool, who have two games in hand, have not won a single game and are tied with their city rival Everton at the bottom of the standings with only three points from six games, three draws and three losses!
With the departure of two banner figures, Owen and Gerrard, the Red Army, which once made European football tremble with fear, finally lost its aura as a top powerhouse this season and began to decline!
