Chapter 772 Tonight, Tottenham will crash to the ground!
Ribery's kick, Feixian, was praised by the media around the world after playing AC Milan away. The French Scarface shot completely opened up the situation for Tottenham Hotspur, and this shot also reflected the value of his top superstar, that is, he could lead the team to achieve ideal results at critical moments.
Therefore, after the first leg of the quarterfinals, Ribery's flying fairy in the sky caused a carnival among the media around the world, and they all compared this shot to the sky flying fairy in the Champions League final. Although the value of the gold content cannot be compared with the final goal, the beauty is not inferior at all.
Tottenham draws AC Milan away, which puts Tottenham in a more promising position. Coincidentally, Manchester United challenged Real Madrid away in the first leg, which is also the same
The two Premier League teams have great hopes of advancing, and the famous bookmakers must win after the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals knockout match. Judging from the odds of winning for each team, Tottenham Hotspur is undoubtedly far ahead, ranking first among all giants with an odds of 30, which once again proves that Tottenham Hotspur is the best in the world.
Following Tottenham Hotspur, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Dortmund ranked second to fifth respectively, while Manchester United fell to sixth place with 15.UU. Who made them unlucky to draw Real Madrid?
From the odds of winning the championship, we can basically see the strength distribution of several major European teams. Juventus in Serie A ranked seventh, which is the highest among Serie A teams, while AC Milan ranked fourth from the bottom with an odds as high as 8UU. From this point, it can be seen that almost most fans are not optimistic about this team.
Perhaps affected by the first leg of the round of 16 knockout match, after returning from Milan to London, Ye Qiu arranged a substitute to go north to Manchester and challenge Manchester City away, but he defeated Manchester City, who had all the main players played away, away from home.
Neymar scored his only goal for Tottenham Hotspur, helping the team successfully advance to the quarterfinals knockout stage.
Ye Qiu was a little surprised by Manchester City's poor performance in this game. After the game, the Manchester Evening News also exclusively disclosed that Mancini had lost control of Manchester City's locker room and was not far from the time to be dismissed.
Manchester City's performance last season was indeed impressive, but after the start of this season, Manchester City failed to continue the glory of the previous season, but instead experienced a significant decline. In addition, Mancini himself was unable to lead the team to achieve a group stage breakthrough in the Champions League, and his own ability has also been criticized.
Under this circumstance, more and more contradictions and problems on the team have surfaced.
It is reported that Manchester City's most desirable head coach is former Barcelona coach Guardiola. This coach has been linked to the Premier League recently. In the past six months, he has often appeared in major Premier League stadiums. He is not unfamiliar with the Premier League and has also shown his ambition and idea of taking over the Premier League.
However, Guardiola was previously rumored to take over Ferguson. Although I have denied it, who knows if it will be possible?
In addition to Guardiola, there are reports that head coach Pellegrini, who is currently in conflict with Real Madrid, may leave the team this summer, and Manchester City also wants to bring this head coach with excellent results in the La Liga and a certain viewing style to the city stadium.
But if you want to get Pellegrini, you have to see how Real Madrid's poaching Newcastle's Ancelotti is progressing. Once Real Madrid's poaching is successful, then Pellegrini is likely to switch to Manchester City.
In addition to the above teams, there is another team's coach position that is currently attracting attention from the outside world, that is, who will take over Manchester United's coach position after Ferguson will definitely retire. Although the biggest favorite is still Guardiola, Moyes has become the biggest popular candidate when Espanyol has denied it.
But there are also relatively stable points. Needless to say, Tottenham Hotspur is about to retire. Although Ye Qiu is about to retire, he has made it clear that he will make all arrangements, and it has gradually shown from many news channels that chief assistant coach Mauro Tassoti will take over the team.
According to the news disclosed by the media and the words revealed by Tottenham Hotspur players in an interview, the outside world is still very sure of Mauro O Tassoti's ability. This coach is one of the founders of Tottenham Hotspur's entire tactical system and Ye Qiu's number one assistant. He has a typical Italian strong tactical background. Coupled with a group of outstanding assistant teams, Mauro O Tassoti's successor becomes a matter of course.
At least Ferguson once publicly stated that Ye Qiu did much better than him in this regard, because the assistants he had worked hard to promote failed to take over his class in the end, but the Mauro Tasotti, which Ye Qiu focused on cultivating, was very good at this aspect, and he was also deeply impressed by the Italian young marshal.
The coaching position is relatively solid, including Liverpool's Benitez and West Ham United's Ranieri. The former currently steadily occupies the league runner-up and has good results, but the European competition is slightly worse. However, Benitez said that the team will achieve a breakthrough in the European competition next season. As for Ranieri, the West Ham United he led is still pretty good.
Mourinho, who was highly expected to come on stage this summer, wants to compete for the top four in the league this season, but his hopes still fall on Manchester City. This is also the reason why Manchester City always supports Mancini. They do not want the team's performance to be affected by the premature change of coaches and thus lose the qualification for the Champions League next season.
Nowadays, the Premier League is full of strong teams and stars. If you are not careful, anyone may fall into a state of doom. This is also a point that Ferguson hesitates about Moyes taking over the team.
Tottenham Hotspur substitute defeated Manchester City away in the FA Cup, while Chelsea swept Bradford in the League Two 0 in the League Cup final and won the League Cup. This is also the first championship trophy Mourinho won after returning to the Premier League. Although it is useless, it is also a great encouragement.
Mourinho further encouraged the team after the game and took advantage of this morale to rush into the top four in the league.
After a week of rest, Tottenham Hotspur challenged West Ham United away.
Some people say that West Ham's hatred for Tottenham will last for a hundred years, because fans of the Hammers only need to look at their Upton Park Stadium and then look at the beautiful Stratford Stadium four kilometers away. This gap in mood makes hatred arise naturally.
Many West Ham United fans use social tools such as PK and Weibo and WeChat, and form communities on it, calling for boycott of Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur. Their most commonly used slogan is, "We want our descendants to know that it is the Tottenham Hotspur robbers who occupied our new stadium."
West Ham United fans do have enough reason to look at the problem like this, because the original intention of the London Olympics is to transform east London, and West Ham United is in east London. If Tottenham Hotspur had no way to make a strife, the Stratford Stadium would eventually fall into the hands of West Ham United.
For the Iron Hammer Gang, this is a good show of making money from nothing.
But the problem is that the happy ending of the prince and the princess flying together has not appeared, and a third party suddenly appeared among them, so the fans of West Ham United naturally hated Tottenham Hotspur.
Some media even joked that the fans of West Ham United are as eager as the champion, and the hatred they have for Tottenham Hotspur.
And you should know that this team has never won the Premier League championship in history. The peak of their history is that they won a European Cup Winners Championship in 2019. In domestic events, their most brilliant ones are three FA Cup championships decades ago, and that's all.
It can be imagined that West Ham's hatred for Tottenham Hotspur is not just because of a stadium, but because they not only lost the stadium and lost the ladder to become tall, rich and handsome, but also because they suddenly felt that there was a bright and beautiful neighbor around their humble self, which made them both jealous and hated.
You are in North London, why go south to East London to compete with us for food? Are you still shameless?
Because there is such a deep hatred between the two teams, the showdown between Tottenham and West Ham United is often very popular every season, especially when visiting Upton Park Stadium, there will always be some troubles, so every derby will cause a big headache for the London Police Department.
However, from the perspective of overall record and strength, Tottenham still has a great advantage, so Tottenham Hotspur has almost overwhelming advantage in overall match performance in the past few years, and this game is no exception.
Just thirteen minutes into the opening game, Messi helped Tottenham Hotspur score a goal, but in the 35th minute, former Tottenham Hotspur center Carroll equalized the score for West Ham United, but in the second half, Cavani and Messi scored one after another, and finally helped Tottenham Hotspur beat West Ham United.
Ranieli's team is indeed in a lot of trouble now, and the team's metabolism is problematic. For example, veterans such as Etoo, Lucio, Carvalho have been overwhelmed, especially Lucio and Carvalho. This pair of central defenders who once helped West Ham United almost enter the top four in the league are now old.
This also has something to do with the fact that West Ham United did not consider long-term configuration when they formed the team. At that time, the Hammer Gang considered fame more, so he introduced veterans such as Lucio and Carvalho, but ignored one thing. When the team integrated combat power in the frontcourt, problems occurred in the defense line.
After playing West Ham United and taking another week off, Tottenham Hotspur ushered in a home game against Arsenal.
With both strength and combat effectiveness overwhelming the opponent, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Arsenal without any suspense.
Tottenham Hotspur continues to be invincible in the Premier League, but Benitez's Liverpool is not inferior. In the past two rounds, they have lost 0 to Swansea and defeated Wigan Athletic 40, and scored nine goals in two rounds, with an impressive record of zero concedings, chasing Tottenham Hotspur closely.
The five-point gap cannot stop the Reds from thirsty for the league championship. After losing the Champions League, Benitez's team will do its best to compete for the Premier League, allowing Liverpool to focus more on the league in one game a week, waiting for Tottenham Hotspur to make mistakes.
But Tottenham Hotspur is not completely without a chance. After playing Arsenal in the 28th round, Liverpool came in the 29th round, but the problem is that there is a desperate fight against AC Milan's Champions League quarterfinals.
When Allegri led the team to London, he felt that what he had on his shoulders was not only the hope of AC Milan fans, but also the expectations of countless football professionals, which made him feel very missionary.
In the first leg, AC Milan did a good job in defense against Tottenham Hotspur, and conceding more of the goals should be regarded as a mistake in set-piece defense. However, Ribery's kick from the sky was too amazing, covering up Tottenham Hotspur's embarrassment and disbelief. Otherwise, AC Milan would have already defeated Tottenham Hotspur in this game.
Fans may still be immersed in Tottenham's unbeatable past glory, but professionals can see that Tottenham's current front line is too wide. He wants to advance in the league, Champions League and Cup. Ye Qiu's ambition is too great, and the team's lineup and strength cannot keep up. Coupled with some injuries and fatigue, Tottenham's Hotspurs are often difficult to deal with some devil schedules.
Another point is that the competition in the Premier League is too fierce. Tottenham Hotspur has encountered championship opponents such as Newcastle, West Ham United, Arsenal and Liverpool, and they have to play two more Champions League games in the middle. This is definitely a nightmare for any team.
This time, Allegri was ambitious. He wanted to use two rounds of games to let everyone see that Tottenham Hotspur is not invincible, and Ye Qiu, whom they urged, would suffer a crushing defeat and he would have to avenge his previous shame.
Even now, two weeks have passed, there are still many fans and media using his first round mistakes to mock and mock him, which makes him hate Ye Qiu very much because it was Ye Qiu who uncovered his scars.
For him, this game is not just about leading AC Milan to advance, but more importantly, he wants to defeat Ye Qiu openly, just in the White Hart Lane Stadium where he is most proud of.
First round I is a dilemma for both sides, because you can't guess what the opponent has, and you don't know what tactics the opponent will play at the beginning, and what layout will appear in the whole game. Everything can only be guessed.
But Allegri had his own ideas. He felt that simply wanting to defend at White Hart Lane Stadium would not work. For AC Milan, if Tottenham Hotspur was given a away goal at home, they must also grab an away goal away, which is safer.
And once you get a goal away, you can take the initiative in the game.
Of course, we can't take too much risk, so in this game, Allegri ranked 45l formation and still ranked five midfielders, but there were some adjustments in the starting tactics.
"After the opening, we have to attack. We will play Tottenham Hotspur away, and we will not be able to defend. We must add an offensive threat to curb Tottenham Hotspur, so we have to grab a shot after the opening."
Allegri arranged the final starting tactical arrangement in the locker room before the game. In this game, he basically followed the first leg of the two sides. After all, this lineup has already had experience in a game against Tottenham Hotspur.
"After the opening, we must appropriately attack and actively take advantage of Pirlo's single midfielder. Boateng and Nyan both pressed the front line. The key is to cut off the connection between the opponent's double central defenders and Pirlo, disrupt their deployment after the opening, suppress their opening spirit, and don't let them play a threatening attack."
Everyone in the locker room listened to Allegri's analysis carefully. After the first round of the game, they all found that Allegri's set was still very effective against Tottenham Hotspur.
This also indirectly cited another point, that is, almost all Italian head coaches are masters of tactics.
"The opening attack is just a way for us to curb Tottenham Hotspur. Once the time is about the same, if we can score an away goal, then we will use the first round to retract. Boateng will return to our right and help Flamini defend the right and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack."
Allegri's arrangement is still very targeted, especially considering that Tottenham Hotspur is playing at home, and it is impossible to defend blindly, so the attack at the start may have unexpected results. He is not the kind of reckless man who likes to hang his head around his waist. He also knows that playing Tottenham Hotspur cannot be rude and can be out of wit.
After all, he still knows Pirlo very well. He is very clear about the current flaws of the Italian veterans and also very well. After Tottenham lost Pirlo in the first leg, the entire midfield organization was in trouble. Ye Qiu will definitely arrange for Pirlo to start in this key battle.
At least, Pirlo did not appear when playing Arsenal, and his purpose must be to prepare for this game.
Let Nian, Boateng and Salavi appear on the front line at the same time. This move is very risky, but it can effectively cut off the connection between Pirlo and the double center back. And if Boateng can be allowed to entangle Pirlo and make Tottenham Hotspur midfielder lose order, AC Milan's chances of this game will be much greater.
After all, this still needs to use Tottenham's single midfielder to make a fuss
Allegri did not care about his butts, only looked at Tottenham's single midfielder problem, but ignored the need for protection for Ambrosini, so he asked Flamini to mainly protect Ambrosini.
"Everyone" After analyzing the tactics before the game, Allegri made the final mobilization. "Tonight's game of White Hart Lane Stadium has attracted worldwide attention. Countless fans are staring at you. They all hope that you can accomplish a feat tonight, that is, to defeat Tottenham Hotspur."
"I have confidence that Tottenham Hotspur will fall to the ground tonight"
