Chapter 262 Old White Hart Lane (daily transition)
For a long time, Tottenham has been regarded as the second-tier team in the Premier League.
Smooth playing style, strong desire to attack, and a hole in defense.
Because of its characteristics of scoring a lot of goals and conceding a lot of goals, it once became the favorite team of Happy Bean fans.
No one cares about Bai Lily's victory or draw.
A classic comeback that returns to the Premier League:
Manchester United's 5:3 Tottenham match was the most classic.
Trailing by three goals, chasing five goals in a row.
Ferguson left a famous quote in the Manchester United dressing room: "Boys, that's just Tottenham."
Even the historical period when Bale and Modric played together at White Hart Lane did not change people's inherent impression of Tottenham.
At that time, the two were affectionately called Sun Dasheng and Silver Horn King by fans.
...
but.
After Pochettino took charge of White Hart Lane in 2014, the audience saw a Tottenham that was capable of competing for the championship.
The white youth storm created has swept the Premier League.
When the powerful teams came to their senses... Tottenham had become the number one group competing for the Premier League title.
Who is the Premier League team with the most ferocious offensive firepower in the past two seasons?
Tottenham!
According to legend: In 1986, Bielsa and Griffa went deep into the Pampas grasslands to look for young boys with football talents.
One late night.
The two came to a farm and were shocked to see the sleeping boy Pochettino!
From that moment on.
Pochettino became the spokesperson of the "Belsa school".
What is the Bielsa school?
Another extreme school derived from the concept of "Total Attack, Total Defense".
It is full of charm, madness, paranoia, and radical offensive football!
It is a football philosophy that makes it difficult to win a championship.
but.
Compared to Bielsa himself, Pochettino's overall defensive focus is still slightly conservative.
....
A few days later.
Another fantastic Premier League match day.
After Li Kang finished training, he took the club bus with his teammates and headed to White Hart Lane Stadium.
They are about to face the toughest challenge of the season.
North London Derby.
Arsenal's home stadium and Tottenham's home stadium are very close to each other.
a bridge.
4.4 miles.
The audience has been looking forward to this game for a long time.
No one thought Arsenal was a sure winner.
There are even many opinions that White Lily Youth Storm can resist Mr. 200 Million.
He looked at the posters and slogans outside the car window.
Li Kang lowered his head and turned over the map. He was not very familiar with the North London area.
"Li, it's less than fifteen minutes' drive, why are you looking at the map?"
"Tottenham have committed the most fouls in the Premier League in the past three seasons, but they are barely dirty because they like to use their soft hips to interfere with their opponents."
"Are you talking about Ali? Hahaha!"
Maguire is discussing Tottenham's style of play with Xhaka and several new players.
Unfortunately.
He is the central defender in this game.
Because Mertesacker took the youth team players through a fierce battle in the English League Cup in midweek, the coaching staff was concerned about the player's physical problems and made temporary adjustments to the North London Derby.
The only hidden danger is that the young Maguire is not stable enough.
Koscielny thought for a while and reminded: "Play the ball forward in time...Don't think about teasing the opponent, forget it, just pass the ball to Li."
Morata twirled his fingers and said: "In this year's Champions League, several Premier League teams look very strong and can increase the European War points of the entire league."
This guy has already enjoyed various benefits brought by the highly commercialized league and wants to play in the Premier League for a long time.
The current European War standings are affected by Leverkusen’s semi-final place last season:
First in La Liga.
Second in the Bundesliga.
Third in the Premier League.
.......
ten minutes later.
The Arsenal club bus drove into White Hart Lane.
The sound of noisy renovations was heard not far away.
This stadium was once nicknamed: Stamford Second Bridge.
Because Chelsea hasn't lost here for more than ten consecutive years.
Its traffic and capacity have been criticized by fans.
It's too far to walk from the subway station.
It can only accommodate more than 30,000 spectators.
In May 2016, the new White Hart Lane stadium was officially constructed outside the original site.
It won't take a few years.
Tottenham fans will also have a new home stadium comparable to the Emirates Stadium.
Wenger and the coaching staff stepped off the bus.
"This is the true meaning of noisy neighbours."
"Boss, Levi's expansion method is much cheaper than building a new stadium! The preliminary budget cost is..."
"No, the budget will continue to expand during the construction process. If they control the costs and allocate 200 million for signings..."
.....
The scene of the pre-match press conference.
Pochettino stood up and shook hands with Wenger warmly.
This famous young coach is now being pursued by many wealthy clubs, especially Paris Saint-Germain.
"Mr. Pochettino, your courtesy to Arsenal does not show the slightest trace of the North London Derby's gunpowder!"
"The game hasn't officially started yet. Do you want our two head coaches to have a big fight?"
The Tottenham manager's words made the media reporters laugh.
The question quickly turned to Wenger.
"Mr. Arsène, which team do you most want to face in the Champions League round of 16?"
"bye..."
The Arsenal coach blurted out subconsciously... He braked in time.
What is the problem?
It's obviously a North London derby, why are we talking about the Champions League?
Wenger smiled and said calmly: "This issue should be left until after we qualify in the Champions League group... I only care about the game in front of me."
...........
In the players tunnel.
There was silence.
The tense hostility is still brewing.
It is different from the life-and-death situation before the beginning of the century.
It is difficult for most foreign players to be influenced by the new derby environment in a short period of time.
What's more, many local players in the lineup have formed deep friendships during the youth training echelons.
"plum!"
Sun Xingmin gave Li Kang a hug excitedly.
He finally competed with Lamela for a position and was in a good mood.
There was no exchange of pleasantries for a long time.
The South Korean forward quickly felt the strange looks from his teammates, and then relaxed his hands.
Don’t forget to add: “Come on!”
Li Kang nodded.
He then continued to look at Tottenham's queue.
.......
White Hart Lane Stadium.
Seats were removed.
At first glance, you can see scarves and slogans waving crazily!
The blue flag flutters in the wind on the green field.
Tottenham fans sang the passionate team anthem in unison.
The referee team led the players from both sides out of the tunnel.
The four large LED boards above the stadium immediately released the rosters of the two teams.
"ctv5!ctv5! Good evening, viewers, the live broadcast for you now is the seventh round of the 2016/17 Premier League season!"
“Tottenham vs Arsenal at home!”
"North London Derby!"
"The meeting of the top teams competing for the Premier League title!"
"The following introduces you to the lineups of the two teams!"
