Chapter 382: Meet the Galaxy Battleship Again

The league started with six consecutive victories in the new season, and won all eight games in all competitions. In addition to the Community Shield Cup, they scored a total of 19 goals and conceded only one goal. Such an eye-catching result not only gave Tottenham a double-level standings in the English and Champions League Group F, but also left those who looked down on Tottenham's prospects in the summer!

You should know that the opponents in these eight games are not all weak teams with weak strength. Among them are top teams like Chelsea, as well as strong teams from various countries like Liverpool and Udinese. If you look for the reason in the schedule, it is said that Tottenham can win consecutive games because they are all against some mid- and lower-level clubs with huge strength gaps. That would be too rude and would not attract the attention of fans.

Therefore, after Tottenham handed over such a report card, the doubts about Tottenham immediately became much smaller. Although these experts and trolls were stinking, they were not fools. Of course, they could see that Tottenham is in good shape now and there was no negative news within the team to report. If they continue to target Tottenham at this time, it is easy to be slapped in the face by the other party!

Since that's the case, it's better to change to another team to continue their great troll career. Anyway, Tottenham is not the only top giant in the British arena. Moreover, the better Tottenham's performance, the more it will naturally highlight the poorness of other British teams. In this way, they have enough capital to comment on these teams!

However, before they could turn the gun, Tottenham Hotspursed in the next league. In the game with Fulham a week later, Tottenham regretfully stopped the winning streak because a large number of main players were hidden by George. Within 90 minutes, they exchanged white papers with the "farmers" who were visiting the White Hart Lane Stadium, and only got a draw and a point at home!

George was also quite helpless about this draw. Although the players had always taken the initiative on the court and created many good scoring opportunities in the game, for some reason, they just couldn't turn the advantage on the scene into the required goals. Whether it was Klose or Larson, they always missed the goals and had no way to give Fulham a fatal blow, which led to the game that was originally sure to end with a draw!

Although the rotation strategy set by George can minimize the physical burden on players and allow them to better play their true level in the game, then again, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. This rotation strategy ensures that the players' physical fitness will not collapse due to the multi-line combat relationship, but it will also have a negative impact on the players' competitive state and tacit understanding. For example, in this game, Tottenham failed to win Fulham. Luck factor certainly accounts for a large part of it, but the impact of the rotation cannot be ignored. The newly joined Al Shavin and young players Lennon and Kloze lack tacit understanding, which is also one of the main reasons why Tottenham was tied by Fulham at home!

Fortunately, those who had previously looked down on Tottenham did not reopen their taunt mode against Tottenham because of this draw, but maintained a very cautious attitude to evaluate the game, allowing Tottenham players to prepare for the next game in a relatively stable public opinion environment.

It is not surprising that such a situation occurs. After all, similar things have happened many times before this, and every time Tottenham Hotspur responded to these doubts with uncontroversial performance. So this time, the guys who have been swollen from their faces countless times naturally dare not speak out at this time.

Although they stopped their winning streak in the start, Tottenham's ranking in the league standings was not affected by this draw. In the other two games at the same time, Manchester United suffered a defeat at Black, coached by old minister Mark Hughes, and lost 1-2 at Old Trafford. Not only did they reveal the biggest upset in the British League this round, but the Red Devils also won their first defeat of the season at home!

After receiving a large amount of capital injection from the Qatar Investment Bureau, Manchester United, whose lineup is stronger than his previous life, will actually make a comeback in Blackburn, a weak team, and it is still at its own home court. It is really surprising. It is a big deal for Manchester United to introduce many strong players including Hargreaves, Park Ji-sung and Van der Sar in one go in the summer, and their strength has been greatly strengthened. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are strong and strong. But the result is that Blackburn used sharp defensive counterattack to break the Manchester United defense line into a sieve, which naturally makes Manchester United supporters unacceptable!

Of course, this loss cannot be entirely due to Manchester United players or Ferguson taking it lightly. After all, the reason why Manchester United was defeated by Blackburn, who only scored three goals in the first six rounds of the league was mainly because the Red Devils' defense encountered a large wave of injuries - Heinze and Gary Neville both were absent due to injuries, and O'Shea, who replaced Neville as right back, also left the court with injury, resulting in a huge vacuum in Manchester United's wide defense, which was blown up by Blackburn. Otherwise, with Blackburn's configuration, it would be difficult to pose enough threat to Manchester United's goal!

A clever woman is hard to cook without rice. Although Ferguson has introduced many players in the summer transfer window, improving Manchester United's overall strength and bench depth to a higher level, in the face of this need to prepare another substitute for the substitute, even if Sir Judah prepares for the future, he will never be able to cope with this situation.

In addition, Scholes is not yet used to the new role positioning and Rooney being pressed on the bench is also one of the reasons why Manchester United lost at home. From a frontcourt attacker to a midfielder with organization and dispatch as the main task, "Ginger Head" is obviously not used to such role changes; while Rooney is on the bench because of his poor performance in the Champions League before, he was banned from Ferguson. The result of Sir Judg doing this is that Manchester United, which is extremely difficult on the defensive end, is actually in an embarrassing situation of being unable to score on the offensive end!

As for another competitor, Chelsea. Although Mourinho's team allowed Aston Villa to increase their league loss record this season to three games in this round, due to the previous loss to Tottenham in direct confrontation, the Blues are still one point behind Tottenham in the standings, and stayed in the second place in the league in a very frustrated manner!

In this way, with the advantages accumulated by the previous winning streak in the start and the "help" of competitors, Tottenham was able to continue to sit in the standings after the tie with Fulham, and Chelsea, which was not eyed by covetous Chelsea, took the opportunity to cross.

Although the result of the home draw with Fulham made Tottenham depressed, the players obviously don’t have any extra time to think too much about this. Because four days after this game, they will usher in the second round of the Champions League group stage. And their opponent this time is the number one seed in Group F, La Liga giants Real Madrid!
