Chinese players in Europe

Chapter 303 A Draw
"Great Britain is about to set off a new round of arms race! Tottenham Hotspur leads the transfer boom!" - this is the exclamation issued by the British sports magazine "The Sun".

The article pointed out that when the major clubs in the Premier League did not spend a lot of money to introduce players this season, Tottenham's behavior of spending a lot of money is already Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it. 3000 million brought the Bundesliga's best rookie to White Hart Lane, dug the defensive core of arch-enemy Arsenal into the team, and introduced world-class midfielder Van der Vaart, which made them already have the strength to compete with other strong players go one step further.Spending huge sums of money to enhance the strength of the team, Tottenham's goal this season is of course impossible to play soy sauce in the league and the European arena. Their goal is very clear-the sword aims at the championship!It is intended to overthrow the dominance of the rich and powerful monopoly champions!

"The Times" also published the headline "Foreign funds are flooding the Premier League, is it a blessing or a curse?"-"As we all know, the former Russian economic giant Abramovich entered the Stamford Bridge Stadium, and later was acquired by the UAE consortium. Manchester City, it can be said that the entire Premier League has begun to move towards the era of "bubble economy". Such an "example" obviously stimulated Tottenham, and they also began to wave a lot of euros to set off a bloodbath in the transfer market. This behavior Is the anti-war against the Premier League more beneficial than harmful or harmful? It is undeniable that money can help us attract more outstanding players to the Premier League, but this will definitely have a certain impact on the development of local players. Just imagine, A team is basically composed of multinational forces, so can British players still stand? This is a deep injury to the level of our national team!"

This report seems a bit "nonsensical", because the major teams in the Premier League did not invest too much money in the transfer market this season. Tottenham spent a total of about 6000 million euros, which is also the club with the largest investment this summer. , Mo Fei's 3000 million made him the standard king of the Premier League team this season.

However, what is secretly satirized in the article is that some teams use a lot of money to damage the future of the Premier League. The target of the satire is really obvious.Tottenham have invested the most this season, isn't that calling them "the black sheep?

Redknapp expressed his indignation at the statement made by The Times. He unabashedly accused the other party in an interview with reporters: "The team needs fresh blood, and the team needs to move forward, so we use The money I earn to buy the players I need, if this approach is considered wrong, then I have nothing to say. I feel incredible for some newspapers’ inexplicable remarks. If football is not aggressive, keep it If we use an old lineup to deal with each season, then I think our league has long lost its competitiveness and it is impossible to become the world's number one league."

In the early days of Chelsea's revival, they really relied on a lot of checks from their backstage boss Abramovich. They tried their best to get rid of the name of "upstarts". They were implicated, which made the whole Chelsea team extremely dissatisfied.

The captain of the blue army, Terry, stood up and shouted angrily: "Some people just have abnormal brains. Don't doubt it. You should know who I'm talking about! In my opinion, they just have nothing to do. What does their own money get in the way of them! A bunch of shit-headed, shameless and self-righteous guys!"

In comparison, Manchester City coach Italian Mancini, who has been labeled as an "upstart" from beginning to end, is much more humble, but his words are also extremely sharp-"The influx of a lot of money is for the Premier League. Fundamentally, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, which can help us attract the best players in the world and increase our competitiveness. There are foreign players in any league. Without them, the league is not healthy and deformed I hope that some people don't pretend to know football, it's just a joke! As for Tottenham, congratulations to them for acquiring many excellent players, which will make them more competitive. Of course, we Manchester City people are not afraid , Defeating a strong opponent will give us a greater sense of accomplishment."

The news of the world, the mouthpiece of Tottenham's rivals Arsenal, did not dwell on this inexplicable problem, they were more worried about the team itself-"Tottenham's strength in the new season has greatly increased, which is very important for the Gunners. Dominance in London will be a huge threat. It is undeniable that Tottenham have the qualifications to compete with Arsenal after having two players who can be called world-class midfielders in Mo and Rafael I hope that coach Wenger can be vigilant, we must not tolerate the majesty and glory of the Gunners being provoked!"

The famous "big mouth" Adebayor in the Arsenal team jumped out to respond to this worry: "Tottenham? They are about to threaten the status of the Gunners? No, no, no, I don't think this will become a reality at all. Everyone You know, Tottenham is just a team with ups and downs, they should stay in the middle of the table, maybe the end is also a good place. Although they have invested a lot of money this season, it is just a waste of money Forget it, what can a team that doesn’t even have a modern training base do? Mo? He’s excellent? In fact, I really didn’t know that Huaxia could play football!”

Adebayor's provocation made all Tottenham players feel insulted, and even Modric, who has always been taciturn, stood up to refute the opponent's remarks: "If you can win the game with a foul mouth, then I think He's long since become the World Footballer of the Year. Hey, that chimpanzee, football is kicked with your feet, understand?"

When Mo Fei was asked by reporters what he thought of Adebayor’s provocation, he said calmly: “As Luka said, football speaks with its feet. He gave a good lesson and told him how to respect others. You know, a player who knows how to respect others is not necessarily a good player, but a player who does not know how to respect others is definitely not a player of high moral character!"

The saliva war that is raging outside is just an "appetizer" before each season. All the teams have long been accustomed to this kind of saliva war and don't take it seriously. Never ambiguous.

In such a noisy environment, Tottenham continued their preparations for the new season.For team manager Redknapp, there is not much time left for him and his team. The league will kick off in less than two weeks, and his team has just resumed training. .And the tactical system centered around Murphy is even more appalling—although Murphy’s court is very high and he integrates into the team quickly, but after all, he has changed his style of play, not to mention that he always feels that his cooperation with his teammates is unexpected. Going together, even the other teammates are very awkward.They have long been used to Modric's midfield scheduling, and they always hand the ball to him habitually. The scene that often appears on the court is that the backcourt players hand the ball to Modric, and then Modric hands it to Murphy. The players, on the other hand, forgot that they were the ones who organized the offense, so they took a collective break and simply forgot to move forward.What is even more speechless is the return of the frontcourt players. They subconsciously looked up for Modric, but found that the opponent was near the midfield and backcourt. Their return became a return pass...

However, this situation has been significantly improved after Murphy joined the team for a week of joint training. After Redknapp severely punished the players who made several mistakes, the players gradually became familiar with Murphy's scheduling.In fact, they also think it is very good. Mo Fei's passing is not worse than Modric, and he is even more comfortable. He can always send different ways of passing according to the different playing styles of each player. For example, Lennon, His characteristic is that he is extremely fast. Could it be that the pass he gives is just right in advance, not too big, but also allows the opponent to give full play to his sprint advantage.

Of course, not every player can enjoy such a comfortable pass. It's not that he doesn't want to, but he can't do it.After all, his time with the team is still very short, and it is not easy for him to keep in mind the characteristics of some players who are familiar with him. This is a gradual process, as long as he is given time , he will definitely be able to give full play to the strengths of each teammate.

In general, the team's situation is developing in a good direction.From the third day of the training camp, the head coach Redknapp gradually increased the intensity of the training. In addition to physical training, ball training and single shooting training, group confrontation training, tactical training and defensive training were all included. put on the training course.

In the group confrontation practice, Mo Fei, wearing the main vest, has gradually been able to do some simple cooperation with his teammates, and the effect is not bad.Of course, the most eye-catching thing is Mo Fei's personal breakthrough. It often takes two or three people to encircle him to stop him from advancing forward, and it may not be able to stop his ball.Captain Ledley King exclaimed that Mo's skills are absolutely second to none in England, and will definitely become a nightmare for all Premier League defenders.

However, Redknapp is still dissatisfied with this slow progress. He believes that such progress is far from enough for the team to stay in the chain at the beginning of this season.He believes that the fastest way to improve is to practice in actual combat. For this reason, he arranged several warm-up games for the team. The opponents are all professional teams, neither strong nor weak.

Tottenham Hotspur played a warm-up match with last season's Scottish Super League champion Celtic on August 1nd.The result of the game was 1:[-].Mo Fei started the game, but his performance was mediocre. The biggest highlight was Mo Fei's continuous dribble after getting the ball in the midfield. After breaking through four defensive players, he shot hard from the penalty area line, but the football was rejected by the crossbar.

In fact, the performance of the entire Tottenham team is not satisfactory. The midfield is chaotic and cannot organize effective offenses. The players often make mistakes in coordination. .If it weren't for the Celtics' poor ability to seize opportunities, Tottenham Hotspur would probably end in a big loss in this warm-up match.Even so, the Celtics still scored two goals, one for the opponent's goal and one for their own goal.And Tottenham also relied on an own goal of the opponent to achieve an embarrassing draw.
