Chapter 369 The Best Start of the League
Tottenham Hotspur's first UEFA Champions League game after 20 years will be held on the night of September NO.15. They will go to Enschede in the province of Upper Ijssel in the east of the Netherlands to play away against the Eredivisie The new King Twente team.

Before that, Tottenham will also have two Premier League games against Wigan Athletic and West Bromwich Albion.The opponents are not strong, and Tottenham Hotspur can free up energy to prepare for the club's first Champions League game in 20 years.

On August 28, Tottenham Hotspur easily defeated visiting Wigan Athletic 2-0 at home.Murphy and defender Gallas scored two goals for the team. Van der Vaart and Murphy, who started the game, each contributed an assist.In the four rounds of the league, Tottenham have achieved four consecutive victories, which has tied the club's best league start in the 1964-1965 season.Just one more win in a row and they will be on track for the best league start in franchise history.

In addition to victory, Redknapp valued more. The back line cooperated with each other more and more tacitly. Not only was the defense solid, but he could also attack the team.At the same time, van der Vaart has gradually integrated into the team, and his addition will surely bring Tottenham's midfield strength to another level.Of course, what made him most gratified was Murphy's performance. He scored goals and assisted in four consecutive rounds. Such a crazy performance made him ecstatic. The two fronts go farther and more smoothly.

There is also bad news for Tottenham in this game, that is, after the main midfielder Huddlestone was injured and left the game, it was confirmed that his left knee was injured again.In fact, this is an old injury. During the pre-season training camp, Huddlestone had to rest for a while because of a knee injury.But Huddlestone is a very strong player. Even if he was injured, he chose to persevere instead of surgery.Later, in the fierce Premier League game, he was hit many times and suffered occasional pain. This time, he finally couldn't hold on anymore.

He underwent endoscopic knee surgery on Monday, which removed some muscle folds and smoothed out the knee cartilage.The operation was successful, but after the operation, he will rest for four to six weeks. During this time, Bell will take his place, and the young player Kabul, who has performed well in recent rounds of the league, will become the team's starting left back.

Huddlestone's injury is a blow to the team, because he is currently the only reliable midfielder in the team, who can both defend and participate in the attack in the midfield.Although Bell is also a great player who can attack and defend well, after all, his job is a defender. Redknapp is worried that his habitual assists will not come back, and the team's defense will be exposed to the opponent's eyes. Under the gun, this is a disaster for Tottenham.

In the Champions League, Redknapp knows that defense is important.Of course, he will not let Tottenham turn into a conservative who sticks to 1:0, but at least his defense cannot be sifted by the opponent.

In the end, Redknapp still chose to believe in Bell, because the team really couldn't find a midfielder that made him feel at ease. Bell's performance as a midfielder this season was very good, which is also an important reason why he finally decided to choose Bell.He hopes that Bell can fulfill his responsibilities on defense, and on offense, give the greatest support to the midfield.

Of course, the tasks of Modric and Murphy are even heavier. They not only need to actively insert when the team is attacking, but also assist Bell to clean up the opponent's offensive.As for Van der Vaart and Lennon, he can't count on them. These two people don't have any defensive skills at all, so it's very good to be able to play defense.Fortunately, Mo Fei and Modric were originally supporters of "high position defense", and they readily accepted the head coach's instructions.

After the home game against Wigan Athletic, it was the international match day. Everyone left the club and returned to their respective national teams to report and participate in the national team matches.

Could it be that he did not return to Huaxia, because on this match day, the Huaxia national team did not arrange any games.The Huaxia national team also went to a game in January, which was the Asian Cup game.Of course, even if the Asian Cup kicks off, whether he can be called up is another matter. He is now in the "national team suspension period" of the Chinese Football Association.The penalty notice says that it depends on the situation and performance to decide whether to call him back to the national team.

Could it be that he doesn't know what kind of situation and performance can impress the "wise and mighty" Football Association leader, anyway, it is impossible to ask him to give money.He only knows that the current feeling is very bad, and it makes him have the illusion that I am a fish and a man is a knife. Sometimes he even maliciously guesses in his heart that it would be fine if he was "banned" for the rest of his life. The national team has been completely disappointed, and there is no point in staying.

Galla and Murphy were the only ones who were not selected for the national team in the first team. The two players who had no national team games to play stayed in the club, trained with the young players of the second team, and then played two games with the local amateur team The warm-up match, one 18:0, one 25:1, are big victories.Playing warm-up matches against such opponents is basically not to find out some problems and run in the team. Could it be that Jiala and a group of half-grown children are working hard together!The two of them are purely for the purpose of playing games and maintaining their state, so as not to wait for the other players to come back and combine to find that the state of the game is gone.

However, what made Mo Fei a little speechless was that he had to use all his strength to score seven goals in two games. Unexpectedly, Gallas, who was born as a defender, played as a temporary guest forward and scored twelve goals with head kicks. .This made Galades feel bad, and kept clamoring that he shouldn't have played as a central defender. If he should have played as a forward earlier, maybe another Manadona was about to be born.

After the national team match day, the players regrouped to prepare for the fifth round of the league, away to West Bromwich Albion.

On September [-], Tottenham Hotspur challenged the home team West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns Stadium in the West Midlands.

At this time a few seasons ago, maybe Tottenham would regard West Bromwich Albion as a very important opponent, because the two teams are direct opponents of relegation, but now they can deal with West Bromwich Albion with a very relaxed attitude. Vicki is gone.

It's actually really easy.As the national team has just played, the main players running back and forth consume a lot of physical energy, and three days later they will go to the Netherlands to start the first Champions League game of the season. In order to recharge their batteries, Tottenham coach Ray Deknapp simply changed all the positions except goalkeeper Cudicini, leaving the opportunity to exercise to the substitute players who rarely have the opportunity to play.

Even so, Tottenham also beat West Bromwich Albion 3-0 at the Hawthorn Stadium. The substitute players performed very hard. Perhaps it has been a long time since they have had a chance to play, and they wished to pour all their energy on their opponents. .So the West Bromwich Albion cup was over, the goal was opened three times by Tottenham players, the teenager Sandro, who transferred from Brazil's Alegre International this season, scored twice, Dos Santos added the icing on the cake, and the starting Van der Vaart even more He scored a hat-trick and was elected the best player of the game.

Five consecutive victories!Tottenham made the best league start in club history!After breaking the record of away wins against Chelsea, Tottenham set a new record this season.If you count Murphy scoring and assisting in four consecutive Premier League rounds and being elected as the best player in the game, they have created no fewer than five records, large and small, and have become a veritable "record-setting" team.

In the past five rounds of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur have scored fifteen goals, averaging three per game. This kind of offensive power is second to none in European leagues. Even the super giants of La Liga, Barcelona It is unmatched. They have only scored 7 goals in [-] rounds of the league this season. The Bundesliga giants are a little closer to them, but there is still a gap of [-] goals.

In terms of defense, Redknapp's efforts in defense have been rewarded. Before the season, Gallas, who he defied public opinion, repaid the trust of the coach with his good performance. The combination of him and Dawson's central defender has become the best in the Premier League Excellent rear iron gate.Conceding only one goal in five games, such a strong defensive ability can be called the best in Europe.

The offense is the best in Europe, and the defense concedes the fewest goals. This kind of Tottenham Hotspur has attracted the attention of fans all over the world. They are smoothly walking on a high-speed road.

Even under such circumstances, the best teams in August selected by the FA have also been released. The best team is undoubtedly won by Tottenham, which has won five consecutive victories, and the best head coach is also Scored by Redknapp, the best goal was Tottenham's shocking zero-degree volley after five players in a row against Chelsea in Tottenham's away game.

The most important player of the year was unsuspectingly picked by the new European golden boy Murphy. He was the best player on the spot for four consecutive rounds, scored eight goals in four games, and contributed four assists. This performance can be called If a phenomenal player is not elected, I am afraid that all fans will accuse the FA of being corrupt and incompetent.Naturally, the FA will not do such a thing that goes against public opinion, and Mo Fei's election is a matter of course.

In fact, after the fifth round of the league, although he won the victory, the head coach Redknapp was still criticized by the local media and many fans on the grounds that he did not send Mo Fei to the game.Everyone thought that Murphy was very likely to continue scoring and assisting, but Redknapp's rotation tactics made them regretfully lost to witness the birth of another record.

Tottenham Hotspur became the biggest winner in the selection in August. Not only did most of the honors go into the bag, an unprecedented six players were selected in the best team in August. This is the first time in the Premier League There are so many players selected by the same club. In the most glorious era when the Red Devils Manchester United won the Triple Crown, they only had a maximum of five players selected at the same time. This shows the influence of Tottenham on today's Premier League.

Maintained a complete victory in the league, leading the No.2 Red Devils Manchester United with three wins and two draws and four points to secure the top spot in the league. The forwards, midfielders and defenders all scored goals. There are many points blooming, and the defense is solid...Tottenham Hotspur It's been surprisingly good lately.

This state also makes the whole team full of confidence in their first Champions League game.The opponent is not too strong, it can even be said to be the weakest opponent in Group A. Twente has never been an influential team in Europe. Such an opponent is really suitable for Tottenham's first step in making history stepping stone.

"North London Times" three days before the Champions League match day, hit the headlines to express the hearts of all Tottenham people.

"Renaissance: Our first steps!"
