The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 508 Let's Fight!
What exactly is madness?
Crazy is, what you thought was impossible to happen, but it happened in front of you in a very real way, that is madness!
When everyone thought you were bound to lose, and you would lose miserably and in a foolish way, you suddenly slapped everyone in the face. In the eyes of those who slapped you, this is crazy!

Some people say that Ye Qiu's life is hard, and Tottenham Hotspur's life is also hard!

This is right or wrong, because whether life is hard or not depends not on words, but on actions.

This season Tottenham Hotspur have not encountered problems, but they have always been able to resolve crises and problems time and time again. Some people say that this is Ye Qiu's luck.

At the beginning of the season, Franck Ribery was seriously injured and Messi participated in the Olympics. Everyone thought that Tottenham Hotspur would be affected, but Gareth Bale suddenly appeared. The Welshman scored frequently and performed well. Help Tottenham Hotspur repeatedly overcome strong enemies.

When Gareth Bale fell back and everyone was familiar with him, Messi and others came back, and the strength of the team was improved again. Losing to Manchester United in the final, everyone thought that Tottenham Hotspur was about to usher in a trough, and it was over.

But Ye Qiu boldly won the main players such as Van Persie and Messi, with Eden Hazard who was more physically fit, and Ribery who had just returned from injury, plus a diligent Cavani, Hardly defeated Southgate's Middlesbrough 4-0 at home, stepping this team into the abyss of relegation, but he escaped.

Up to now, Tottenham Hotspur suffered their first defeat of the season, Messi was injured, Kompany was given a red card, Petr Cech was scored for the first time this season, all signs seemed to tell them one thing, the Portuguese team created a miracle The opportunity has come.

Sporting Lisbon head coach Bento even threatened before the game that Tottenham Hotspur would suffer their first defeat in the Champions League this season at the Alvalade Stadium, and they would even knock out the defending champions from the Champions League. Porto's feat that year reached the final.

Bento is not an exaggeration, because Sporting Lisbon's performance in the Portuguese Super League is indeed quite good. They are currently competing with the league champion Porto for this season's league championship. Strong, but the defensive ability is quite outstanding, ranking first in the Portuguese Super League.

It can be said that Bento's words are not without sufficient capital. In addition to his home game, Tottenham Hotspur's current situation is not very good. No matter from which point of view, he has completely let go To beat Tottenham to qualify.

In fact, Sporting Lisbon also adopted a defensive tactic in the opening game. Because Messi was not there, Bento believed that Tottenham Hotspur would be insufficient in breaking the dense defense, so he put up an iron barrel formation at his home court.

One of the interesting things is that Bento may have seen the English media touting McCarthy, and felt that Mourinho's old general was born to defeat Ye Qiu, so he even got Porto into the Champions League in this game. The veteran in the final, Brazilian striker Dellei was moved out and served as a striker.

You know, McCarthy and Dellei contributed a lot to Porto's ability to reach the Champions League final back then, and McCarthy scored a goal when he saw Ye Qiu. Presumably Dellei shouldn't be too bad, right?
Since it was a defensive counter-attack, the midfielder was delayed and naturally put on a defensive position. Players including Roschenback and Moutinho all put up one after another.

In this game, Tottenham Hotspur also sent their main players to play. The goalkeeper is Peter Cech, the defense is Marcelo, Kompany, Thiago Silva and Alves, the midfielder It is David Silva, Yaya Toure and Fabregas, and the front trident is Gareth Bale, Van Persie and Ribery.

The start of the game was very hard, and Sporting Lisbon's defensive tactics caused Tottenham a lot of trouble.

Breaking through the dense defense has always been a major problem for all teams, but in the first half hour, Sporting Lisbon did a good job until Ye Qiu started to make adjustments in the No. 30 minute.

Perhaps because he realized the problem of the team's intensive defense in the frontcourt, Ye Qiu began to let Gareth Bell press up and attack the penalty area. The Welshman's physical fitness is very good, especially when facing the players in the Portuguese Super League. He has an advantage in the confrontation, use him to attack the left rib of the opponent's defense, and then use Van Persie and Ribery to intersperse back and forth to create opportunities.

No.40 In the second minute, Gareth Bale rushed into the penalty area from the left, took the ball with his back, and tried to complete the turn after holding the defender with his body, but suddenly the ball went to the right, and Ribery followed , After getting the ball, he shook off the defensive player, pushed and scored, and opened the scoring for the team, 1:0!

In the second half, Tottenham Hotspur continued to use this set of tactics. Gareth Bale created an opportunity after a high-speed breakthrough from the left.

Only after Tottenham Hotspur's offense became more active, especially after replacing Van Persie with Cavani, the impact in front of the goal was fully reflected. The pressure brought huge troubles to Sporting Lisbon's defense.

Ribery's second goal came from Cavani's ball, and he himself quickly got a chance in front of the Sporting Lisbon defense, helping Tottenham twice to score the final score. 5:0!

The crazy victory in the away game almost made everyone feel the fierce offensive power of Tottenham Hotspur, especially in the case of the team's poor performance, Cavani, Eden Hazard, Ramsey , Lucas and other players have shown a very good level, especially Cavani and Eden? Hazard, both performed very eye-catching on the offensive end.

This big victory not only shocked the Portuguese fans and media, but also shocked the whole world.

Before the game, everyone thought that Tottenham Hotspur was in crisis. Ye Qiu's team was likely to be upset and dragged down by multi-line battles, but this team always showed its strength at critical moments. Showed his tough side.

As Ye Qiu said to the Portuguese reporter after the game about Tottenham Hotspur's fate, "Of course you can say that our fate is tough, because I have no way to control what you say, but my players and I have Very clearly, this is the reward for our hard work!"

"I once said that we are a mature team. We have maintained a consistent tactical style in the past three years, which allows our players to know what they want to do and what they should do anytime and anywhere. That clarity comes through every game, it just doesn't show up when the wind is going."

"We are a whole. We have never been a one-man team. If it is, then this person's name is Tottenham Hotspur. All of us know that we are a team and a part of the team. Help each other, understand and help each other, because everyone will perform badly sometimes, but teammates will help you out of the slump very well."

"I am very satisfied with the performance of the team in the past period of time. I firmly believe that we are not afraid of any difficulties and challenges of any team!"

Ye Qiu's words rekindled the enthusiasm of Tottenham Hotspur fans, and the English media expressed that as long as Tottenham Hotspur maintains the current momentum, especially with Cavani, With the outstanding performance of Eden Haza, Ramsey, Lucas and other young players, the pressure on the team's main lineup has weakened, and the two-line battle is not a problem at all.

"Win the Premier League! Defend the Champions League!" The Times even encouraged Tottenham Hotspur on the headline.

Martin Samuel said that Tottenham Hotspur slaughtered Sporting Lisbon 5-0 away, showing not only the strength of Tottenham Hotspur, but also the confidence of this team, even in the away game, Even though they were frozen by the opponent for four or 10 minutes, they were still trying to find opportunities to attack and kept attacking.

"If there is any team in this world that can represent offensive football, then there is no doubt that it must be Tottenham Hotspur. The inferior offensive football system has been brought to the Premier League, and they are changing the outside world's understanding of the Premier League."

"In the Premier League, it's not just about strength, it's not about speed, it's about technique, it's about scoring goals, and it's about gorgeous ground penetration!"

Martin Samuel also felt that if Tottenham Hotspur were successful, Ye Qiu's contribution to the Premier League would at least be tied with Ferguson, Wenger and others, because he would change the tactical style of the Premier League for the second time.

When gaming companies and fans regarded Tottenham Hotspur as the number one favorite to win the championship, the reporter asked UEFA President Michel Platini at the headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. The Frenchman said that he was Tottenham. Loyal Tottenham fans.

"As the healthiest and only zero-debt team in the Premier League, I think Tottenham Hotspur is worth learning from all teams in terms of management and team performance, and the Champions League is very fair. A competition platform, if Tottenham Hotspur has enough strength to defend the title, then we also welcome it, because the success of Tottenham Hotspur will attract more people to pay attention to football, which is what we have always advocated. "

But everyone knows that this is very, very difficult, because the opponents that Tottenham have encountered this time are of extraordinary strength. Among other things, even if they pass Sporting Lisbon in the quarter-final knockout, they will meet in the semi-finals. It was Manchester United, the bitter master.

Manchester United this season is definitely the most troublesome opponent for Tottenham Hotspur, because they have already eliminated Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup and League Cup. Ferguson even threatened to continue to eliminate Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League. Turnham Hotspur.

Everyone knows very well that Tottenham is good at attacking and Manchester United is good at defending. Ferguson finally found a pair of stable central defenders like Vidic and Ferdinand. If every player wins the championship when they are at their peak, don't expect it in the future, so Manchester United will definitely work hard.

In addition, there are Barcelona and Chelsea. Under the training of Guardiola, the former can always kill the opponent with an astonishing possession rate, and Barcelona's defense is also quite stable, while Chelsea is under the training of Hiddink. The defense immediately underwent a radical change, defeating strong enemies repeatedly.

In this case, it is impossible for Tottenham Hotspur to talk about defending the title!

But when Ye Qiu was interviewed by the media after returning to London, he smiled and said that he hoped to defend the title!

"I believe that both players and coaches hope to make a brilliant mark in their careers, because we all believe that in this world, there are many things that money and fame cannot replace. .”

"Everyone in our team is willing to work hard for a goal that everyone thinks is impossible, because we hope to try and practice. The purpose is not to prove how we are, but to tell ourselves that we work hard. However, even if you lose, you won’t have any regrets!”

"So, here, I appeal to all Tottenham Hotspur players, we must work hard for Tottenham Hotspur's first Premier League title in more than 100 years of football history! We must also work hard for the Champions League since the restructuring , and fight for an unprecedented defense of supremacy!"

"I don't know if we can succeed, but I know that if we pass up an opportunity like this, we will regret it for life, so, all Tottenham Hotspur players, let's fight!"

Ye Qiu's appeal was immediately responded by the players.

Team captain Thiago Silva took the lead in expressing on behalf of the team, "For the words of the head coach, the locker room responded very enthusiastically. All of us firmly believe that as long as we are willing to pay, we will be able to get what we have. Everything you want!"

The vice-captain of the team and the biggest star in the team, Beckham also said in a subsequent interview: "Tottenham Hotspur currently have a very good atmosphere in the team, everyone is very united, and everyone is full of enthusiasm. Fighting spirit, I think this is very, very difficult, so I think we should set ourselves a more ambitious goal!"

"Defending the Champions League? Winning the first Premier League title in club history? I think this will be a pretty good ideal!"

As the players have been interviewed by the media one after another, expressing their strong self-confidence, Tottenham Hotspur fans have also left messages on the website and APP, although some fans have made more conservative remarks, such as hoping The team can be safer, first ensure to win a championship, and avoid taking too big a step.

But such remarks were quickly criticized by other fans, because everyone hopes that their team is a team with great ambitions, and the team's current state is so good, and the team's current atmosphere in the team is so harmonious , Everyone is twisted into one rope, such an opportunity does not come every season.

Because any team is the same, there are ups and downs, there are highs and lows, if you don’t fight for the opportunity now, who knows in the future?

Almost the vast majority of fans leave messages hoping that the team will strive for the double crown, especially in the survey on the club's official website. The survey results from 10,000+ netizens around the world show that 93% of the fans feel that the team should strive for it.

"Whether it is football or competitive sports, the most fundamental core spirit is to challenge the impossible!"

This sentence has become the truth recognized by the vast majority of fans. They all feel that the team should continue to challenge the impossible. Even if it turns out to lose in the end, it is only a loss of the championship and an honor. , but at least he fought for it, and all Tottenham fans will be proud of the courage of the club.

Returning to London from Sporting Lisbon, Tottenham Hotspur soon ushered in West Ham United at White Hart Lane.

For this future East London derby, West Ham United hoped to get out of the relegation zone, but Tottenham Hotspur bloodbathed the visiting team 4-0 in this game, scoring nine goals in two consecutive games , The offensive storm is the same for a while.

All the Tottenham Hotspur fans were shouting for the double at White Hart Lane, especially after the West Ham game, all the fans didn't leave the stadium, but stood up one after another and expressed it with overwhelming voices Support and encouragement for the team.

Three days later, still at White Hart Lane, Tottenham Hotspur, who were in excellent form, ushered in Sporting Lisbon. The Portuguese Super League team has completely lost their qualifications, and Bento has also begun to stay focused on competing for the league title. To prepare for the battle, so this game did not arrange all the main players to play.

But even in the face of such an opponent, Tottenham Hotspur still tried their best to beat Sporting Lisbon 8-0 at their home court, sending this Portuguese Super League team home directly, and in the two rounds of the match Created an amazing score of 13:0.

This astonishing score completely broke the 2004/2005 season when Lyon eliminated Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga 10:2 in two rounds, and became the largest total score victory in the Champions League knockout round.

This feast of goals made the fans of White Hart Lane sing and dance, as if they were celebrating a festival. They never thought that the team would be in such a good state at the end of the season. .

The big win over Real Madrid and the big win over Sporting Lisbon, everything made Tottenham fans seem to see the moment when the team performed miracles again.

After the team finished the two rounds of the Champions League quarter-finals, they returned to the Premier League and defeated Newcastle 3-0 at home. Messi, who returned from injury, scored twice, which made people see Tottenham. The strengthening of the stab attack also made all opponents feel desperate.

Newcastle coach Alan Shearer even said frankly that Tottenham Hotspur is almost invincible.

"Tottenham Hotspur showed almost jaw-dropping strength in this game. I believe that as long as they maintain this state and momentum, it will be difficult for any team to beat them!"

But just as everyone was singing praises to Tottenham Hotspur, on the afternoon of April 25th, in the No.30 round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur visited Old Trafford Stadium, 1:2 , lost away to Manchester United.

Facing the number one enemy to win the championship, in such a strong dialogue, at such an important critical moment, Tottenham Hotspur suffered their second defeat of the season at Old Trafford.

This defeat also shortened the points gap between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United to one point, but more importantly, Ye Qiu's team encountered Manchester United's defeat when the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final was approaching. Head on.
