Although Tottenham's ceremony to celebrate Ronaldo's European Ballon d'Or win before the game made Portsmouth feel very embarrassed, but fortunately, this difficult time did not last long. Soon, the Tottenham players ended the brief celebration under the reminder of the referee Howard Webber and returned to the field to prepare for the sixteenth round of the Premier League match with Portsmouth!
Even so, Portsmouth's morale has hit rock bottom because of the celebration arranged by Tottenham before the game. Unlike Tottenham, which has been smooth sailing since George took over, Portsmouth was severely damaged after experiencing the power struggle between head coach Redknapp and chairman Mandric. It quickly transformed from a mid-table team. Falling into a team that fights for relegation every year. So far, the Pompeii Legion is only ranked second from the bottom in the Premier League standings, and the relegation situation is not optimistic!
Their morale was already low due to the severe relegation situation, and Tottenham were severely exposed by Tottenham before the game with a Ballon d'Or award. The Portsmouth players who suffered continuous psychological blows were not at Tottenham at this time. The idea of getting points is just to finish this game as soon as possible and leave this stadium as soon as possible!
Perhaps some teams will explode with amazing fighting power under this kind of psychological stimulation, crushing Tottenham's plan to celebrate Ronaldo's European Ballon d'Or with a victory, but Portsmouth is definitely not among them - it has been there for many years. Struggling on the relegation line and being stuck in the relegation quagmire this season has drained away much of the energy of the Portsmouth players. The rumors that Mandric planned to sell the club made people inside the team panic even more. The Portsmouth players who were worried about their fate could not fully concentrate on the court!
Regarding this situation, the old Redknapp, who had just returned to Portsmouth to resume his position as head coach, was also very helpless. Who gave Tottenham such a good owner and talented coach? Not only is he willing to spend a lot of money to upgrade the club's software and hardware, but he is also able to lead the team himself in games, so that the players' strengths can be fully utilized. But his side is in a state of chaos. Not only is the team's morale low and its players incompetent, but there is also a management that always likes to stab you in the back?
Our team's morale is high because Cristiano Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or, but our opponents are demoralized by multiple blows. Under such circumstances, Tottenham, which has the advantage of home court, naturally has no reason to capsize in the gutter!
Just fifty-three seconds into the game, Tottenham took advantage of Portsmouth's unsteady foothold and scored the first goal. Alonso passed the ball diagonally from the middle, and Gerrard, who had returned from injury, took a long shot from outside the penalty area, causing Ashdown to miss the ball. Cristiano Ronaldo, who cleverly stepped in, succeeded in making up the shot five meters in front of the goal, one to zero!
Ronaldo looked extremely excited after scoring the goal. The Portuguese clenched his right hand in excitement and roared, then rushed straight to the sidelines and hugged George tightly, using this way to express his gratitude to George!
Click, click, click! At this moment, Cristiano Ronaldo’s celebrations erased so much film. The reporters on the sidelines were all pressing their shutters frantically, firmly recording this scene!
Although the close relationship between Ronaldo and George has been uncovered by all-pervasive reporters since the day the Portuguese was signed by Tottenham from Sporting Lisbon, and was once regarded by many as evidence of George's nepotism, but then As Cristiano Ronaldo relies on his outstanding performance to gradually win people's recognition, such voices have become increasingly rare. However, every time Ronaldo shows his closeness to George in public, he still attracts a lot of eyeballs!
The reason is simple. There may not be another example like George and Ronaldo in the world. Things are rare and valuable, so fans are naturally willing to pay attention to such news.
"Well done, Chris!" Patting Ronaldo's back, George encouraged him with joy, "Work harder! Remember what I said before the game. In today's game, I allow you to have unlimited Right to fire. Let everyone see that your data is not as eye-catching as Lampard's, not because you can't do it, but because you have made huge sacrifices for this team!"
"No problem!" After winning the European Golden Globe Award, Ronaldo's self-confidence was much stronger than before, "Brother George, just look at it, I will never let you down!"
Falling behind by one goal at the start was like a sap, which instantly knocked the demoralized Portsmouth players into confusion. Before they could recover and find the feeling of the game, Tottenham's fierce offensive came upon them again!
When George gave the order for the Tottenham players to gradually slow down their offensive, the Portsmouth players finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, the game had basically lost its suspense at this point - Cristiano Ronaldo and Gerrard scored a goal in the 13th and 20th minutes respectively, helping Tottenham take a three-goal lead in the away game in the first 20 minutes of the game. Portsmouth!
The reason why George issued such an order is, firstly, because Portsmouth is not Arsenal, there is no deep hatred between it and Tottenham, and there is no need for players to risk angering their opponents and continue to pursue them fiercely. Once the opponent is forced to adopt destructive tactics, it will be Spurs who end up losing more than they gain. Secondly, it is because Tottenham will go to Japan to participate in the Club World Cup after this game. George needs the players to leave enough physical strength to cope with this event-although several other teams participating in the Club World Cup There is a huge gap between the team and Tottenham in terms of strength, but if Tottenham takes the Club World Cup lightly because of this, then the possibility of capsizing in the gutter also exists.
After conceding three goals in the first 20 minutes, the Portsmouth players no longer had any intention of resisting. Realizing that the situation was over, the old Redknapp also took the initiative to replace the two main players Lualua and Gary O'Neill during the halftime break and announced that he would give up the game!
After Portsmouth surrendered early, only Ronaldo was the only player left with motivation on the field. The Portuguese, who has already scored twice, is still actively involved in every attack of the team, aiming to score his first hat trick at Tottenham!
Emperor Tian pays off his conscientious people. In the 63rd minute, Salif Diaw fouled Gerrard while defending. Alonso quickly took a free kick in the center circle of the court. Gerrard, who moved to the right, passed the ball directly at a 45-degree angle. , Ronaldo, who was ambushing in the penalty area, took Klose's header and volleyed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal, completing his hat trick in this game, 4-0!
In the 80th minute of the game, Stefanovic was hesitant to control the ball in the backcourt. Cristiano Ronaldo took the opportunity to steal the ball and passed the penalty area with his right foot. Klose faced the already unprepared Ashdown and easily pushed the goal and succeeded. , scored the last goal of the game!
Five to zero! Tottenham used a hearty victory to celebrate Cristiano Ronaldo as the first European Ballon d'Or winner in the club's history, and Cristiano Ronaldo also used a hat trick to prove to people that he deserved to win the European Ballon d'Or this time!
