"Congratulations to Tottenham! Congratulations to Viscount George Nelson!" Watching the game at White Hart Lane after the game, Lineker, who served as the commentator for the game, sent the most sincere message to Tottenham and George in the live broadcast room. Congratulations, "After winning the 27th round of the Premier League against Wigan Athletic, Tottenham achieved an impressive record of winning six games in February! Moreover, if the previous January If the games are also included, then we can find that Tottenham have won all eleven official games since the beginning of this year! This is definitely an amazing record!"
"Gary, you are absolutely right. The competitive state shown by Tottenham after the New Year is really outstanding." Seeing Lineker give Tottenham such a high evaluation, David Gee, as a special guest, Naturally, Nola would not play devil's advocate at this time, "Although Tottenham have faced few strong opponents in the past two months, Newcastle, which sent most of the main players, was eliminated from the FA Cup with only a full substitute lineup. Drogba was able to achieve seven consecutive wins in all competitions despite being called up by the Ivory Coast national team to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations... This shows that what Viscount Nelson said before is by no means an exaggeration!"
The flames of the Champions League have been rekindled four days ago, but for Tottenham, who have overcome injury problems and are missing everyone except striker Didier Drogba, it is obvious that this Eindhoven team cannot cause it at the moment. Too big a threat - in the team that reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League last season, the main center Heiselink went to Glasgow Celtic, the backbone of the defense Bouma moved to Aston Villa, Van Bommel and Park Ji-sung The powerful midfield composed of , Cocu and Vogel is even worse! Under such circumstances, no matter how capable Hiddink is, and no matter how strong Cocu is, they will not be able to turn the tide and help the greatly reduced PSV defeat Tottenham, which is strong and in good condition!
“Not only that, they have won all eleven games, scored a total of thirty times and conceded only three goals... With such strong offensive firepower and defensive quality, I am afraid it is impossible to find another team in Europe. "Perhaps because he played for Tottenham as a player, Lineker often speaks highly of his old club. Especially after George took over at White Hart Lane, Tottenham's record has been rising steadily, giving this football gentleman plenty of room for praise.
While Lineker and Ginola exchanged words with each other and praised Tottenham's performance after the New Year, Tottenham players, led by George, circled the field and paid tribute to Tottenham in the stands. Fans wave to say thank you - although this move is not uncommon on football fields, George intends to make this a tradition for the team, thereby strengthening the cohesion between players and their sense of belonging to the club!
"As long as the team can keep winning like it is now, then Tottenham's image of being invincible will gradually take root in the hearts of the people, making opponents timid before they fight, thus achieving the goal of being defeated without fighting before the game like Manchester United. The effect of soldiers!" After witnessing the team's clean victory over Wigan Athletic even though most of the main lineup was rotated, George thought with confidence, "In this way, during the most intensive stage of the schedule, the ball will be better. The team can also spend more energy on the Champions League and reduce the difficulty of multi-line operations."
Manchester United can always play easier than other competitors in the domestic arena. Among them, Ferguson's fame played a big role. It can be said that as long as Ferguson is still sitting as the head coach of Manchester United, he can help the Red Devils gain at least fifteen more league points every season!
This is not an exaggeration. In George's previous life, after Ferguson retired, Manchester United, which won the Premier League title with an 11-point advantage the previous season, performed dismally in the following years. It may not even be able to complete the task of retaining the top four in the league and winning a Champions League seat. !
Therefore, George's goal is to let Tottenham have the same game aura as Manchester United. Moreover, even with this BUFF bonus, Tottenham does not need to worry about being in trouble like Manchester United in the previous life due to the departure of the mainstay - unlike Sir Alex Ferguson, who is already in his sixties and may retire as head coach at any time. , George, who can still be in charge of Tottenham for more than 40 years, is too young!
After easily defeating PSV Eindhoven and Wigan Athletic, extending Tottenham's winning record to eleven games this year, George had to temporarily hand over the club's affairs to Marotta. Because next weekend, he will face his first test since taking office as the interim coach of the Three Lions - a friendly match with the Uruguay national team!
Although it is just an insignificant friendly match, for George himself and those forces that oppose George's appointment as the interim coach of the national team, this game has a very special meaning-if George were coaching the Three Lions If you perform well in your first show, doubts and pressure from the outside world will be greatly reduced. On the contrary, the opposition's arrogance will become high, which will bring a lot of trouble to George's national team coaching journey in just a few months!
Therefore, George knew very well that there was absolutely no room for error in this friendly match with Uruguay!
"George, are you sure you want to do this?" Holding the microphone tightly, Football Association Chairman Geoff Thompson asked in a solemn tone, "I think your decision is a bit too radical. Why don't you observe it for a while? …”
"Joff." Thompson was interrupted mercilessly by George when he was halfway through his words. "I admit that Michael and Sol at their peak were indeed the top group of English players. But now, they Their competitive state is no longer worthy of continuing to play for the national team, so I naturally have to exclude them."
"Well, since you have already made your decision, George, there is no need for me to force you to put them on the roster." As if he heard the determination in George's words, Thompson shrugged and gave up trying to convince the other party. "Having absolute autonomy in national team affairs is the condition agreed upon when I invited you to be the acting head coach. I have no intention of going back on my words."
Since the top brass of the English Football Association, headed by Thompson, have expressed their tacit approval of this, then George naturally. So, when George made public the first Three Lions training roster since taking office, the entire English football world was stunned by his audacious behavior!
Michael Owen, the 2001 European Ballon d'Or winner, Newcastle's number one star, and the Three Lions' ace striker for the past eight years; Tottenham Hotspur's number one Judas, and Arsenal's defense stalwart Sol Campbell, both failed to be selected for the England national team in this issue. Twenty-five-man roster!
