Earning all three points at home continues to maintain its lead over Chelsea in the league standings. For Tottenham players, this is obviously a very wonderful result!
However, for the Sunderland players, who have just suffered their thirteenth defeat of the season and have lost eight consecutive games in the Premier League, this result is obviously extremely frustrating for them - they have only scored six points in sixteen league games. Next, they have clearly realized that Sunderland's relegation situation this season is really not optimistic!
Generally speaking, in order to successfully avoid relegation in the Premier League, the team must score at least 35 points at the end of the season. Of course, if unlucky, even thirty-five points may not guarantee that the team can land smoothly. Just like West Ham United in the 2002-03 season, the Hammers scored a full 42 points at that time, but in the end they were still relegated.
However, Sunderland has only scored six league points so far, and is still nearly 30 points away from the normal relegation line. The situation is naturally not optimistic. If special circumstances like West Ham United are also taken into account, then Sunderland's relegation situation this season will undoubtedly become more severe!
To score more than 30 points in the remaining 22 league games, with Sunderland's current state, this goal is really out of reach for the "Black Cats"!
Although West Bromwich Albion achieved the feat of successfully avoiding relegation as a half-time deputy captain last season, if blockbusters like "West Bromwich Albion Escape" can always produce sequels, then it will It cannot be called a miracle, and it is even less likely to receive close attention from fans and the media.
Therefore, for the Sunderland management and its head coach McCarthy, the top priority is to adjust the team's mentality and state as soon as possible, while trying to introduce more capable players during the winter break, and do their best in the following time Play every game well. Otherwise, when the season is over, Sunderland's name will definitely be among the three unlucky ones relegated from the Premier League!
Now turn your attention back to Tottenham. After defeating Sunderland, Tottenham players only had four days of rest before ushering in the final match of the Champions League group stage against Real Madrid at White Hart Lane!
Although Tottenham's schedule seems to be relatively dense during this period, all of Tottenham's games in December will be played at home before traveling to Japan to participate in the Club World Cup. Such a schedule has greatly reduced the consumption and burden of Tottenham players, allowing them to face every game with more physical fitness and better competitive state, and also allows George to arrange his troops in a better way. There is more room for adjustment during formation!
Goalkeeper Casey Keller, defense line-up Stephen Carr, Dawson, Phil Neville and Baines, midfielder Mascherano, center midfielders Mendieta and Deng Pusey's combination, Arshavin, Drogba and Ronaldo form an offensive trident on the front line!
A large number of substitute players were put into the starting lineup, and even the starting goalkeeper was replaced by the 36-year-old Keller. It is obvious how much George attaches importance to this game!
George sent out a large number of substitute players in the game against Real Madrid. There was no psychological pressure at all when George made this decision. After all, Tottenham has now locked in the top spot in Group F, and losing this game will not have any impact on Tottenham's group ranking at all. If that's the case, then why does he insist on risking his life with Real Madrid? Wouldn't it be more beneficial to Tottenham to let the main players recharge their batteries and grab points in the league?
Compared with George, who was clearly planning to let things slip, Heathfield's side wasn't much better. With no chance of qualifying and no hope of competing for the top spot in the group, the German coach does not want the team to waste too much energy in the Champions League. After all, in Hitzfield's plan, La Liga is Real Madrid's main battlefield this season. In the Champions League, it is enough to ensure that the team gets a reasonable ranking!
You know, most of the main players in the Real Madrid team are now seriously aging. A few legitimate players such as Raul and Ronaldo have experienced a decline in form. New-generation players such as Ramos, De La Rede and Baptiste Although Star and others have already made a name for themselves in football, it will take time to really take the lead. Under such circumstances, even if Heathfield sends out the main lineup to attack with all his strength, it is difficult to guarantee that he can get any benefits from Tottenham playing at home!
Not to mention, wasting too much energy on a Champions League game that has nothing to do with the overall situation may lead to the team not being able to go all out in the next league, giving Barcelona an opportunity to close the gap between the two sides!
Since both teams had no desire for this game, and George and Hitzfield did not make clear demands on the players, both teams played quite openly, and players from both sides even started fighting on the court on a whim. Attack battle!
This is quite a rare scene. Since coaching Tottenham, George has always emphasized the balance of offense and defense, rarely allowing players to play against opponents like today; Real Madrid also gradually solved the top-heavy problem after Hitzfield took over and worked hard towards the goal of balance of offense and defense. Therefore, it is rare to see a game like this where you don't have to worry about defense and focus on the offensive end!
The two teams went back and forth on the court, only thinking about using offense to win. The result was that the game was extremely exciting and beautiful. All fans who watched this game, especially those who were neutral, were in for a treat today. The goals are scored one after another, which is dizzying!
In this game, "Lord of the Rings" Raul opened the scoring for Real Madrid shortly after the start, further consolidating his position as the leader in the Champions League total scorer; Negredo and De La Red also scored a goal each in the game. , proving that they indeed have the ability to become the backbone of Real Madrid in the future. On Tottenham's side, the attacking trident led by Drogba penetrated the goal guarded by Casillas five times, making the Spanish international goalkeeper extremely depressed!
It has to be said that guarding the goal for the team in this kind of offensive battle is an outright tragedy for any goalkeeper. In addition, standing in front of Casillas is the Real Madrid defense team, which is famous in international football, which further increases the difficulty of Casillas' goalkeeping!
Five to three! In the end, after ninety minutes of fierce battle, Tottenham successfully defeated the visiting Real Madrid with Drogba's hat trick, ending all the Champions League group stage matches with a big victory!
