Chapter 564 The Arrival of Real Madrid
"GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! Parker's long shot once again blasted through the visiting team's goal! 3:0! Tottenham are unstoppable!"

"... Ceballos! Breakthrough! Breakthrough... beautiful! The Spanish kid passed three people in the opponent's penalty area in a row, and he raised his foot! Shot... GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! The goal is scored! The goal is scored! 4:0! This is really a goal A crazy game! Newcastle is like a group of helpless lambs, facing Tottenham, a ferocious and bloodthirsty beast, they can only have a tragic ending of being slaughtered!"

"...Aaron! Aaron! He's on the run, ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooows of speed...goal in the box...goal in goal! [-]th time the football went through Newcastle's goal! I think The expression on the face of the head coach of the visiting team must be full of tears. Such a crazy massacre can easily make them feel humiliated. But so what? Who made them so weak? Or, who made them feel so humiliated? They met the strongest and most crazy group of players in the history of Tottenham club? What a pity, alas!"

The final score of the game was fixed at 5:0.Tottenham satisfied the supporters who came in with a hearty victory.As for Newcastle, which was slaughtered bloodily, at the moment the whistle sounded at the end of the game, like a group of defeated roosters, they hid their faces and fled in a hurry...

After this victory, Tottenham's points have reached 90 points.Followed by second place Manchester United this round of the league also easily defeated visiting Birmingham 2:0 at home, the point difference between the two teams is still 15 points.

But this is no longer within the consideration of Tottenham players and fans. Excited, they only know the fact that with six rounds left in the league, their lead has reached an astonishing 15 points.As long as they can win in the next round of the league, regardless of Manchester United's record, they will become the new kings of the Premier League five rounds ahead of schedule!

The Tottenham people seem to have seen the league championship trophy beckoning towards them, and they are close to the championship!

In the game against Newcastle United, the Russian Pavlyuchenko scored twice. This is the first time he has scored more than two goals in a single game this season, which has gradually reduced his status to a goal. As the team's fourth forward, he was overjoyed.You know, the last time he scored two goals in a single game dates back to last season, when it was at home against the underdog West Ham United. His two goals helped the team beat the opponent 2-0 and won the A precious three points.

This brace made Pavlyuchenko the fourth player with the most goals in the team. He has scored 7 goals in all competitions this season, although he cannot compete with players such as Mo Fei and Van der Vaart. But it is enough to make him excited. After all, he has almost become a fringe figure of the team this season, and now he has regained the trust of the head coach with his sweat and hard work.Redknapp made it clear after the game that he would give Pavlyuchenko more opportunities to play.The implication is that he is likely to play in the Champions League game against Real Madrid at home in the middle of next week.

After the game against Newcastle United, the final four of the Champions League against Real Madrid is imminent.During these three days, Tottenham mainly focused on resuming training. After all, this week is a double match a week, which places too much physical demands on the players.But fortunately, Redknapp gave many main players a holiday in the league, which made the team not have to worry too much about physical fitness.

It's only been a week since the first round of the semi-finals with Real Madrid, and the two giants have to face-to-face fiercely again. This schedule is really not usually close. Come on.Of course, Tottenham's situation is slightly better. They are playing at home and can wait for work.

There is only one league game in La Liga this week, and the Copa del Rey will not restart until the end of April, so most La Liga teams have a loose schedule.But it's different for Real Madrid. They have the Champions League mission, which makes them have to stay strong for the game against Tottenham. In the La Liga home game against Athletic Bilbao three days ago, Murray Neo almost rotated the main lineup all over, but they did not have the good luck of Tottenham, and were tied 0:0 by their opponents at the Bernabéu Stadium.

Redknapp is obviously worried about this. Real Madrid is obviously saving their strength for this game. They gave up a league game in order to recharge their batteries and eliminate Tottenham in the away game.The fighting spirit and fighting power that a team with clear goals and pursuits can erupt is very strong, and Mourinho is obviously a head coach who can maximize this morale.

However, the Tottenham players have maintained the belief that they must win this game.Because the players are eagerly pursuing victory, even if they are not strong enough, they may still get a draw.But if they aim for a draw from the start, then they must be the ones who lose in the end.What's more, what Tottenham want is more than just a draw. Although they lost the first round of the away game 2:3, the two away goals made them full of confidence in advancing to the semi-finals.Real Madrid's reputation is indeed second to none in the world, but they are not bad!They definitely have the strength to fight their opponents.

Of course, it is not without good news.

The good news is that Real Madrid will have a national derby with rival Barcelona next Monday. The importance of this game is self-evident.The Champions League game against Tottenham is very important, but the battle of the century against Barcelona is equally important. They lost the game 3-0 away in the first round. If they lose again at home, the Bernabéu fans will not agree.

In this way, Mourinho's team is faced with a dilemma. Should they fight Tottenham to the end in the Champions League, or should they try to attack and then shrink the front and play a defensive counterattack?After all, they won the first round. As long as they don't lose and keep a tie, they can advance.

Redknapp believes that the team can seize the weakness of Real Madrid's timidity and give the opponent a head-on blow. As long as they can score first, Real Madrid will be forced to a corner. If they can be collapsed at once, then It's even better.

Mourinho is a very smart person and a pragmatist. The football concept he believes in is to exchange the smallest price for the greatest result. It is impossible for him not to have scruples about such an important game as the national derby.For Real Madrid players, if they want the Champions League and the national derby, they will inevitably worry about spending too much in the game against Tottenham, and they will be afraid of getting injured, and they will definitely play very carefully.

Therefore, in response to this, Redknapp's tactical strategy for the team is to actively attack and use violent attacks to drag the opponent to death.In defense, he asked the players to act more aggressively and fiercely, so that the Real Madrid players thought that they might be injured in the game at any time, so that they would have scruples and could not let go of their performance in the game.

As long as the players are not performing normally, no matter how big Real Madrid has a name, no matter how strong its strength and background, no matter how powerful Mourinho is, it will be useless.

This is Redknapp's wishful thinking.

In fact, it is more or less the case.In Spain, in addition to the Champions League semi-finals battle with Tottenham, there are still many media hype about the national derby.

Which is more important, the league or the Champions League? In the eyes of many teams, this is a question that can be answered without thinking about it.The Champions League attracts more attention and has a stronger ability to absorb money. The Big Ears Cup represents the highest honor in European football. Anyone with a normal mind will choose the Champions League.

But for Real Madrid or Barcelona, ​​the confrontation between them is comparable to the Champions League final.These two teams have hated each other for nearly a century, and no one can tolerate being compared to the other.There is a tradition in La Liga that no matter which team wins the league championship, before the game starts, all the players of the other team must line up to salute the champion.For this pair of enemies to pay tribute to each other, it will definitely become a shame in their hearts, no one is willing to bow to the "enemy"!Therefore, the importance of the national derby to both parties is self-evident.

But the UEFA Champions League is also very important. It is impossible to give up. After all, they have reached the quarter-finals. They even won the first round. Now it is a pity to give up for the national derby... …

Spain, especially the media in Madrid, are entangled. Like Mourinho, they are faced with a dilemma. Do they want the Champions League or the national derby...

But these troublesome things belong to Real Madrid and Mourinho, and have nothing to do with Tottenham.Tottenham have been preparing for this game for a full week, and there is no room for loss.The more entangled Real Madrid is, the better. What they want is the instability of the opponent's army, so that their chances of winning will be greater.

The flight carrying the Real Madrid stars arrived at London International Airport on Tuesday afternoon.Their arrival has set off a white whirlwind in the Tottenham community in North London.

Although in the league, the Tottenham community has already welcomed European giants such as Chelsea, Manchester United, and Arsenal, they are all in the same league after all, and they will encounter several times every season. It's fresh.Real Madrid is different. For fans all over the world, Real Madrid will always be the most special one. Even though their performance has not been satisfactory over the years, their influence has not diminished.This team represents more than football, they represent a culture.

It wasn't the culture of Real Madrid that got the Tottenham community excited, though, but its stars.Under the implementation of Real Madrid Chairman Florentino's signing policy of "don't buy the right one, only buy the most expensive", this Real Madrid team has obviously surpassed the "Galaxy Battleship Phase I". There are countless big-name players in the team. Yass, Pepe, Harvey Alonso, Di Maria...these are all superstars who have become famous in the world football world.Of course, the most watched stars are Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as... Mourinho.
