Chapter 690

Tottenham Hotspur's narrow victory at the Alpi Stadium also means that they have the upper hand in the contest with the Bianconeri Juventus for a place in the Champions League semi-finals.

But after the game, the focus of the outside world's attention was not on this game. The two head coaches and the interviewing reporters all focused their attention on the "violent fighting" between the two sides on the field and the brawl in the mixed channel.The uncrowned kings have a very keen sense of smell. Although they did not witness the scuffle in the tunnel, they learned what happened in the mixed tunnel after the match through other means. Some reporters even got some blurred information through their eyeliner. fight scene.

In the case of conclusive evidence, the two teams can't hide it even if they want to cover it up.However, the two head coaches are both masters of Tai Chi. Seeing that they couldn't hide it, they picked up some sesame-sized things to divert the reporters' attention.

Conte, the head coach of Juventus, admitted that the two teams clashed after the game, and there was pushing and shoving, but it was not the gang fights that the reporters thought. He believed that all these were caused by Tottenham players, because He Due to Delstone's accidental injury, Tottenham obviously had a mentality of revenge. They lost their minds both on and off the field, and frequently provoked their own players with fouls.He believes that Tottenham's rude approach without a red card is a scandal, and he hopes that UEFA will impose additional penalties on Tottenham.

Tottenham coach Redknapp said that he did not see the conflict in the mixed channel. He was still chatting with the assistant coach on the sidelines at the time, but he did not think the conflict would be as serious as the reporters imagined. Young and full of vigor, it is possible to push each other a few times on impulse, but there will never be a large-scale fight.

Regarding Conte's approach of "causing misfortune to the east", Archbishop Lei also responded unceremoniously, "We are always advancing firmly and bravely for victory, and Tom's reckless goal is a good proof. I think The reason why my players are a bit aggressive is because they are actively looking for opportunities to continue scoring goals. As we all know, the pace and confrontation in the Premier League are very intense. This is the style we have always adhered to. If Coach Conte wants to actively If Grabbing is described as a retaliatory foul, then I have nothing to say."

In his subsequent speech, Redknapp vaguely mentioned the reason for the "fight incident" and who started it first. Although he didn't say it clearly, the reporters outside the venue were all good people, so they couldn't guess his meaning.

Although Conte has excellent coaching ability, he is still young and inexperienced. He was left speechless by Redknapp's beating. He wanted to refute, but what the other party said was the truth, and it was Juventus who did it first. Tus players, if this matter really becomes a big deal, UEFA will issue a ticket, and Juventus will definitely suffer even greater losses.Conte was helpless, unable to express his suffering, so he could only swallow this dumb loss.

After the game, how UEFA will deal with the violence on the pitch, the Tottenham players no longer care about it. At this moment, their minds have shifted back to the league.Tottenham has now reached 63 points in the Premier League standings, firmly ranking the league leader. Manchester City behind them only scored 52 points. It can be said that Tottenham's defending league title is already worry-free.

However, the away game against the old Premier League overlord Red Devils Manchester United three days later still made Tottenham people attach great importance to it.Winning or losing doesn't actually have much impact on Tottenham's top position, but it is a great honor for Tottenham to be able to beat the Premier League giants again.

The game was played at 3 pm on March 19th. Although Manchester United also experienced the Champions League semi-finals battle with Atletico Madrid three days ago, they are fighting at home after all, and they have an advantage over Tottenham in terms of physical fitness.The legendary godfather of the Red Devils, Sir Alex Ferguson, played his best in this game, and his determination to win this strong confrontation is very firm-this is also impossible, not every team has accumulated unsurpassable points like Tottenham in the early stage Advantages, Manchester United's league start is not good, although they are now ranked fourth in the league, but the point gap with the "chasers" behind them is not that big, if they want to ensure their place in the Champions League next season, they must have no points Must fight.

Compared with Manchester United, where all the main players are on the field, Redknapp's formation is a bit unbelievable. Could Fei, Modric, Bale... and other main players did not appear on the field, even the 18-man roster. Did not enter.

After the starting list came out, many fans and reporters criticized Redknapp for his arrogance and arrogance, thinking that it is pure nonsense to beat the full-fledged Manchester United with a half-main and half-substitute lineup. It's self-defeating in this game.

Only Mo Fei and other main players who have not entered the 18-man roster can understand that Redknapp is not not paying attention to this game, nor does he have an attitude that winning or losing does not matter. Of course, it is even more impossible to give Mo Fei and others a rest in rotation Opportunity.They couldn't play for the simple reason that Redknapp punished them for a fight in Italy a few days ago-although UEFA's fine has not yet been issued, but the angry Tottenham boss first punished them In-team punishment was carried out. Several main players involved in the brawl not only paid a certain amount of fines, but also suspended the team for three games.

Before the start of the game, there was an interesting incident. When Mo Fei and Modric and other big-name stars appeared in the stands, it caused a huge riot. The surrounding fans, regardless of host and guest, greeted these celebrities warmly. And ask for a signature.Some British fans even rushed forward to praise Mo Fei and others for doing a good job in Italy. They said that it should be like this, not only to win, but also to win in fights. Face.

Seeing the scene where these big-name players were surrounded by fans who attracted more attention than the game on the field, even the commentator on the scene couldn't help laughing: "These Tottenham players who were suspended did not look downcast and depressed, but They are all in high spirits, as if they are heroes who have returned from victory. If Mr. Harry saw this scene, he would probably be so angry that he would jump up and scold his mother. After all, his original intention was to teach this group of guys a lesson through the suspension of the team. Thinking about it made this group of people steal the limelight. Haha!"

In addition to maintaining their points ranking, Manchester United players also have the idea of ​​"revenge". In the first match in the first half of the league this season, Manchester United was slaughtered by Tottenham with a big score of 4:1 at home. The loss was terrible, losing the face of the wealthy family.This kind of shame has been suppressed in the hearts of Manchester United players, and today is a good opportunity for them to wash away their shame.

After the opening, Manchester United played very proactively with the advantage of the home court, hitting Tottenham halftime again and again, hoping to establish a lead as soon as possible.

Although Murphy, Modric and other main players are missing, Tottenham's strength should not be underestimated.They played extremely cautiously in the away game, using a solid defense to ensure that their defense was safe, and then slowly figured it out.In fact, without Murphy's impact and Modric's organization, plus Van der Vaart's absence of a striker, Tottenham are very afraid of Manchester United, which is top-notch on both offense and defense, so Redek Knapp played a 451 formation in this game, with three defensive players in the midfield, and only Adebayor on the front line.Although this style of play is not in line with Tottenham's usual total attack and total defense tactics, the effect is still very significant. Although Manchester United's offensive is fierce, there are not many substantial threats. The counterattack created a few good chances to score goals, but Adebayor had been sitting on the bench for a long time, and he was a little uncomfortable in the first start, and several shots missed the plane.

In the first half, the two sides played a close match, and neither scored a goal.After a 15-minute break, Tottenham scored an unexpected goal at the beginning of the second half.

Parker, the starting Tottenham defensive midfielder, went straight to the front after stealing the ball at midfield. Ferdinand turned around and volleyed from a small angle, and the football rushed into the goal from Hedeya's crotch.

Although there was a lot of luck involved in this goal, the Tottenham fans who came to watch the game were still overwhelmed with excitement. In the league, as long as they beat the giants, these fans are excited. Now they all enjoy the giants being beaten by their own team. The pleasure of stepping on your feet.

The Tottenham players sitting with the fans are also the focus of attention of the reporters. From time to time, they are photographed by the cameras on the scene. Seeing that Adebayor pierced the goal of Manchester United, could it be that he and his teammates all Shouting and jumping, he sang and danced excitedly with the fans.

In front of more than 7 home fans, Manchester United could not accept the situation of falling behind, let alone the consequences of failure. They desperately launched an attack on Tottenham's defense. Rooney used his speed and body in the frontcourt. A roaring bulldozer continuously impacted Tottenham's defense, while Hernandez used his delicate skills and flexible running positions to constantly draw the attention of Tottenham's defenders. Even Nani, a full-back, could Came to act as a striker, rushing forward from time to time to shoot long shots.

Manchester United's frantic style of attack by the whole team has greatly increased the pressure on Tottenham's defense, and there is a sudden danger. Although Tottenham is better than Manchester United in terms of ball control ability, in this high-tempo confrontation, this advantage is difficult. Tottenham didn't dare to control the ball too much. Manchester United's pressing was too crazy, and as soon as the football was intercepted, Manchester United's offensive artillery immediately turned towards the goal. The opponent's belly poured out.

In the 81st minute of the game, Tottenham's goal was finally declared to be lost. Manchester United, who had been under attack for a long time, finally scored a goal to equalize the score. Rooney headed Nani's cross into Cudi. The gate guarded by Chiney.

In the end, this strong confrontation ended with a score of 1:1. Although there was no winner, both sides were very satisfied with the result. It doesn’t matter if Tottenham wins or loses, it’s better to get one more point; while Manchester United is dead. They were also extremely fortunate to be able to equalize the score and get a point in the final stage.

After the league ended, Tottenham rushed back to London non-stop. Two days later, Juventus rushed to the White Hart Lane with a desperate mentality.

In the first round of the competition, Tottenham not only won the game 3:2, but also scored 3 away goals.

In the face of this almost irreversible advantage, Redknapp carried his authority to the end. He still did not arrange for Mo Fei and other players to start the game. However, in order to prevent accidents, Mo Fei and others entered the 18-man roster. This group of main players are all safely on the bench, and they don't seem to worry about Juventus, who is coming fiercely and vowing to revenge and reverse.

This is indeed the case. Although Juventus is very powerful, Tottenham's power is even stronger. Amid the cheers and cheers of nearly 10 Tottenham fans, this half-main and half-substitute lineup performed exceptionally well. In the opening game, Parker used a long-range shot to help the team take the lead, and then the game went smoothly. Tottenham took the lead for 1 minutes of the game, but the zebra prince Del Piero was substituted in stoppage time Scored a goal.However, the score of 1:[-] is enough to ensure that Tottenham will advance smoothly.

Tottenham, which has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, will face the winner between Bayern Munich and Porto in the semi-finals. However, judging from the results of the first round, Porto, which tied Bayern 1:1 in the first round, will advance. Hope is bigger.

Of course, for Tottenham, no matter who advances to them, it doesn't matter. Their determination and pace to advance to the Champions League final are already unstoppable.

But back in the league, Tottenham, who advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League, suffered another draw. They were tied 2:2 by the underdog Bolton in the away game. Kranica scored twice, but his outstanding performance The performance did not help the team to get three points smoothly, but 1 point is also a good result. Tottenham continued to top the league table with 65 points, and their dominance is still unshakable.
