Chapter 707 Tottenham's poor performance

Tottenham Hotspur's captain Mo Fei expressed his determination to fight to the end, but they encountered a little trouble in the league.

After reaching the final, the Tottenham Hotspur team had a whole night of carnival that night, and Redknapp took an unprecedented one and a half day off the next day to let the players have a good rest.

Everyone's nerves that have been tense for a season can finally be temporarily relaxed. The league has a great lead. In the Premier League with only six rounds left, Tottenham's 2-point lead over No.9 Manchester City can be said to be defending. Yes, and in the FA Cup, Tottenham has reached the final, and the opponent is Manchester United, which eliminated Arsenal in the semi-finals. However, Ferguson's team has been suppressed by Tottenham in the past two seasons. Championship is not too much of an issue.Of course, being able to reach the Champions League final is a very remarkable achievement, even more glorious than the league championship. They really have reasons to relax and celebrate.

After the match against Porto, there are only three days until the penultimate round of the Premier League. Redknapp's holiday directly allows the team to resume training for only one day, and there is no time to adjust the physical condition and relax the mind from Get out, but Redknapp also has his own considerations. These main players have been tired for a season. Now that the overall situation of the league is basically settled, and the Champions League has reached the final again, he intends to let the main players take a good rest. The bottom six In the first round of the game, the substitute players will go up to practice and gain a little game experience, which can be regarded as accumulating capital for the team's future.

Redknapp originally wanted to put Murphy on the bench, but Murphy firmly opposed it and insisted on playing.Considering that there is no problem with Mo Fei's physical fitness and physical condition, Redknapp agreed.

In this relaxed state, Tottenham Hotspur played very slack in the penultimate sixth round of the away game against Queens Park Rangers, and finally lost 1:2.

The team's only goal was scored by Mo Fei in the corner kick. He was replaced in the No.801 minute. The score was 1:1. Redknapp felt that with such a set of substitutes and It is also a good result for the lineup of the second-tier team to score a point in the away game. Who would have thought that Queens Park Rangers scored again not long after Mo Fei was replaced. No. 809 minutes, they gave Tottenham a lore.

This is Tottenham Hotspur's first league defeat of the season. Although they have won several draws before, they have never lost a game. This result makes many Tottenham fans a little unacceptable.Losing is actually not a big deal. After all, no team will always win, but losing to a weak newly promoted like Queens Park Rangers really makes Tottenham fans feel extremely aggrieved.But then again, although Queens Park Rangers are a relegation team, they have maintained an unbeaten record in the two matches against Tottenham this season, with one win and one tie. This seems to be Tottenham's nemesis team.

However, there is also good news. Manchester City, which has been closely behind Tottenham, did not seize the opportunity of Tottenham's loss to narrow the point gap. Although they did not lose, their 1:1 draw with Wigan Athletic made their The ending was even more tragic. They were defeated by Chelsea and Arsenal, who ranked third and fourth in the standings-these two winning Premier League giants pulled Manchester City to fourth in the league with this victory. Reached 65 points, surpassing Manchester City's 64 points, rising to second in the league, only 7 points behind the top-ranked Tottenham; while Arsenal's points are the same as Manchester City, with 64 points, but the number of goal difference occupies advantage, so Manchester City can only rank fourth.Of course, the fourth position is not very stable. Manchester United and Liverpool, who are late in the league, have also caught up from behind, with 62 points and 62 points respectively. As long as Manchester City is a little negligent, they may be thrown out of the top four ranks , Missing the qualification for the UEFA Champions League next season.

Speaking of it, Manchester City is really sad. Not only were they bombed, but they were also bombed twice in a row. What is even more embarrassing is that they are very likely to be bombed twice in a row by the two teams behind. , it's really exciting...

However, the loss of this game did not arouse the vigilance of the Tottenham players. They think that it is very common for them to perform poorly in an extremely relaxed state. As long as they cheer up and seriously confront their opponents, the Premier League will have no Teams can stop their progress.

However, things backfired. A week later, in the away game against Blackburn, Tottenham had another 1:1 draw.The only goal for Tottenham in this game was scored by Mo Fei, but the way of scoring was changed from a header to his signature free kick, but unfortunately, no matter how beautiful the free kick was, it was only for him The Golden Boot continued to add diamonds to the data, but could not harvest a victory for Tottenham.

After this round of Premier League matches, the top six positions in the standings have not changed. There is only one possibility of this situation, that is, the remaining five teams have won the ball, and the only favorite to lose The Spurs' lead has shrunk further, from 7 points to 4 points. With four rounds left in the league, the final ownership of the league championship seems to have become simple and blurred.

Tottenham fans finally began to feel nervous and panic. If the previous loss was attributed to the "holiday" of Tottenham's main players and adjusted their mentality, then they were tied by Blackburn with all the main players and a neat lineup. Everyone realized that Tottenham really had their own problems.They no longer expect the team to win the championship five rounds in advance like last season. They only hope that the team can continue to maintain this four-point lead until they win the league championship safely.

In the anxious, tense, and swaying mentality of the fans, Tottenham ushered in their opponents West Bromwich Albion in the penultimate round of the league at home. In the end, the score of this game was 1:0. Tottenham finally After two rounds of invincibility, it was like rain after a long drought to reap a victory.Tottenham played very hard in this game, every player worked hard, and the relaxed mentality after reaching the Champions League final was completely gone, but it may be because the more anxious the ball, the less dribbling it was, until the whole game went on. It was only in stoppage time that Mo Fei assisted Ibisevic with a header in the penalty area to score a goal and scored a precious three-pointer with difficulty.

No matter how difficult the process is, as long as the ending is good, it will be. After this battle, Tottenham have consolidated their advantage in the standings. Although 4 points are not many, they still have a chance to make a mistake. There are three rounds left in the league. Under the circumstances, the champion is getting closer and closer to them.

However, it is clear that the roller coaster ride for Tottenham fans is not over yet. On the second day after the match between Tottenham and West Bromwich Albion, second-ranked Chelsea suffered a small but deadly blow at home. Somersault, they were tied 1:1 by the "black cat" Sunderland, which made the points gap between them and Tottenham widen by 6 points, and the chance of winning the championship was infinitely slim.

The Tottenham fans who enjoyed going from Kangzhuang Avenue to the edge of the cliff have not yet withdrawn from the thrills. Chelsea immediately gave them a free ticket to return to Kangzhuang Avenue from the edge of the cliff. Their mood at the moment can no longer be like riding a roller coaster To describe the exciting feeling, it is like bungee jumping, one up, another down, and then, another up...

Many felt that the Premier League, dulled by Tottenham Hotspur's early and mid-season success, was finally on a rocky climax towards the end of the season, but it hasn't yet. People are still not satisfied, Tottenham and Chelsea let everyone's desires that have not yet been vented back into the crotch, really want to have a good time...

Although they won a key victory and got a precious three-pointer, Tottenham still did not perform well in this game. On the training ground the next day, Redknapp once again made a big He lost his temper and scolded almost every player by pointing at his nose, even Mo Fei was no exception.

This is already the third time that Lao Lei has made a thunderbolt this month. It is no wonder that the 9-point lead has been squandered by these three games. "Brother Shu", it's hard to say whether Tottenham still have this 6-point advantage, and the league championship is not guaranteed.

Redknapp is very aware of the root cause of the team's poor performance. There are still nearly 20 days before the Champions League final. Bursting with self-confidence, they already believe that it is difficult to find an opponent in the Premier League, and only Barcelona can cheer them up.

But knowing the reason is one thing, and how to mobilize the players' positive mentality for the game is another matter. While Redknapp was thinking hard about ways to make the team "nervous", he felt a sense of anxiety. Regret, in the end it was his fault. If he hadn't given the players a "big vacation" after the team reached the Champions League final, how could these players relax to the point where they couldn't lift their spirits at all...

Mo Fei is also very aware of the bad signs of the team in the recent period. The players have worked hard in training and games, but they always give people a feeling of absent-mindedness. He knows that everyone's thoughts are flying to the Allianz Arena in Munich.There is nothing wrong with this. Being able to play against the most powerful team, and even use the victory to slap opponents who previously regarded themselves as ants, is actually a positive attitude.But the "positiveness" of the Tottenham players is a bit too much. They completely focus on the Champions League final 20 days later, but ignore the league—not to mention ignoring, but everyone thinks that the league champion is too early. It's something in my pocket, so I don't need to pay too much attention to it.

But in fact, the poor performance in these three games almost made this pocket thing crawl out of his pocket and run away...

Mofei decided to have a good talk with the players. He knew that Redknapp had also stated his interests to everyone, but the effect was not obvious. He didn't know whether his actions could make everyone "change their minds". He also takes care of the league, but he is the captain of the team, so he can't do nothing, right?
When the training was over, Could Fei tell all the players not to go back to the locker room, but signaled everyone to form a circle and clapped their hands.This was Mo Fei's habitual action before speaking. The players knew that their captain had something to say, so they consciously surrounded Mo Fei.

"Guys, I think our performance during this period is very bad, uh... it can even be said to be terrible." Mo Fei glanced at Redknapp not far away, and found that the head coach was looking at him with a gloomy face. Looking at this side, it was obvious that the lingering anger was still there. Mo Fei was stunned for a moment, looked away, winked at his teammates, and said in a solemn tone, "There is no need to say the reason or something. Mr. Harry told me a long time ago." You. I just hope that we can win the next round of the league smoothly. We still have a six-point lead, but I don’t want you to have three match points. We don’t need to leave the suspense of the championship at all. To the last round. Yes, we will defend the league title early, just like what we did last season, we will be so strong that we will not give any opponent a chance to comeback. No matter what you think, but I hope everyone will Try to win the Norwich game because I've been 'enjoying' Mr Harry's sulky face for almost [-] weeks now and honestly, man, I've had enough, it's so depressing. So, whether it's for more focus To prepare for the Champions League final, or to add another stroke to my honor book, I still have the same idea as me, we must win! We must defend the league championship in advance!"

"Mo, in fact, we have been suffering during this period of time. We have worked hard, but we just can't find the hearty feeling of the game... However, we will try our best. After all, no one thinks there are too many champions."

"I also think there is a problem with our attitude during this period. I think it's time for us to make a change. Otherwise, if we go to the Allianz Arena in this state, we might be beaten into a grandson by Barcelona...Of course, in order to make the head My son no longer puts on a bad face every day, we must work hard!"

"Brothers, we can't let the fans continue to ride the 'roller coaster', the feeling of going up and down is actually not good...We have to be worthy of the fans who have always supported us!"

Mo Fei doesn't know how effective his words have been, but the reactions of his teammates are still very positive. He only hopes that the team can really cheer up on the field. If they really fail, they will be chased after If the team comes back to **, then they will become the biggest joke in the history of the Premier League.Think about it, there are still three rounds left in the league, the advantage of six points is in hand, but the final champion belongs to others, not to mention the ridicule and blank stares of others, I am afraid that I will feel ashamed to find a crack in the ground...

Redknapp didn't know what Mo Fei said to the players, but he guessed that it was nothing more than some words to boost morale. He now has some doubts about this method of boosting fighting spirit. Give the team some strong medicine.
