The atmosphere at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium was at its peak when Phil Neville, captain Tottenham Hotspur of the game, stood on the podium and lifted the trophy high in front of more than 70,000 fans. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Except for a few Bolton diehards, the fans present are sending their most sincere congratulations to the Tottenham players on the pitch with the warmest applause and cheers!

On the podium, Tottenham players scrambled around Phil Neville to snatch the trophy from their captain and enjoy the joy of getting up close and personal with the trophy. In the end, after a fierce battle, the strong Michael Dawson emerged as the winner, taking home the English League Cup for the second time.

In fact, Luca Toney is more likely than Dawson to be the winner of this trophy race, but the Italian centre-forward, who is about to turn 27, is long past his competitive age. For Toney, it's more about the practical aspects of improving himself and his status with the team, as well as seeking a better-paying job contract than competing with his teammates for the accolades that don't bring much real benefit.

Like Luka Toney, Tottenham's main players, such as Didier Drogba and Nemanja Vidic, are not involved in the race. Because in their opinion, this honor should belong to those teammates who have participated in the whole league cup competition, and it has little to do with them who mainly attack the league battlefield and have contributed little to the league cup.

So, with the deliberate concession of the likes of Toney and Drogba, Dawson was able to become the second player in the Tottenham team to win the Carabao Cup, enjoying the excitement and joy of his first title since becoming a professional.

"It's good to be young...... Djokaef couldn't help but smile as he looked at the Tottenham players cheering on the podium. For the veteran who has been through a lot of storms, missing out on a League Cup title will not make him feel much frustrated at all, "It doesn't seem long before Tottenham Hotspur will become a new force in English football that is no weaker than Manchester United and Arsenal." It's a pity, I guess there's no way to witness this day as a player~"

Compared with Djokaeff, who was a calm onlooker, Kevin Davis's performance was quite unbearable. The slap in the face England centre-forward was indignantly fiddling with the silver medal in his hand while looking resentfully at the Tottenham players who were celebrating on the pitch. If it weren't for Okocha and Campo noticing Davis' expression and pulling him off the court, the villain striker would have caused some trouble.

Although Tottenham have only won the Carabao Cup this time around, it is enough to make Tottenham fans excited for a long time to come. You must know that Tottenham Hotspur has been using substitutes throughout the league cup this time, and it is naturally extremely difficult to win the final championship.

Not to mention, on the way to winning the championship, Tottenham also used this configuration to kill the championship favorite Arsenal with the main lineup. Therefore, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, Tottenham's League Cup championship this time can be said to be full of gold. The emergence of this argument has greatly improved Tottenham's image and situation in English football and even European football, making the name Tottenham Hotspur begin to enter the sight of many ambitious players who cannot join the top giants for various reasons, so that when they consider their next home, they have more Tottenham as an option in their minds.

After all, relying on the bench to beat a strong opponent like Arsenal and finally come home with a cup is indeed not something that the average team can do. Even if Tottenham's title is only the English League Cup, it is enough to say a lot.

At the same time that George led the team to defeat Bolton Wanderers and successfully led Tottenham Hotspur to their first trophy in four years, the 27th round of the Premier League also came to an end. With Tottenham having a Carabao Cup final to play, their match with Middlesbrough had to be postponed to 10 March. In this way, Tottenham Hotspur, who have played one game less, have been further distanced from Arsenal at the top of the table. As of now, Tottenham have fallen behind Arsenal by as much as 14 points in the league, and even if there is a game in hand, it can be announced in advance that Tottenham Hotspur is completely out of the Premier League title race this season!

Faced with all the changes in the table, George has had to recalibrate his team's goals for the league this season, abandoning the seemingly unrealistic plan to compete with Arsenal for the Premier League title in favour of a Champions League place at the end of the season – a task that is still very likely to be accomplished given Tottenham's current state in the league. You must know that even though Tottenham has not won four consecutive league games, Tottenham, who have played one game less, is still a full nine points ahead of Newcastle United, who are fifth in the league, in the standings!

Of course, guaranteeing a top-four finish is just the bare minimum goal George has set. George's hope is for Tottenham to move up the league table as much as possible by the end of the season. After all, the third and fourth places in the Premier League cannot directly qualify for the group stage of the Champions Cup, and they still need to pass the test of the Champions Cup qualifying round. As a result, Tottenham's preparations for the new season are bound to be affected to a certain extent.

While Tottenham are keen to break their winless streak and secure and improve their position in the table, there is another opponent they need to tackle before they can do so, and that is Fulham, who are about to compete for an FA Cup semi-final spot.

In this way, the time came on March 6, and the 2003-04 FA Cup quarter-finals were played at White Hart Lane!

In this FA Cup quarter-final, although the away Fulham team did it again in this game, putting up a set of iron buckets in front of the Tottenham players, hoping to replicate the feat of beating Tottenham before, the problem is that Tottenham's substitute squad does not lack the means to break the iron bucket formation. Whether it's Luka Toney, who is better at attacking the box than Drogba, Matthew Taylor and Poyet, who are skilled in getting in and shooting from distance, and Basturke, who has improved his set-piece skills after intensive training, they are all capable of penetrating this turtle shell made by Fulham!

As a result, Fulham, who were not prepared for this, rightfully suffered a big loss in the game. Just five minutes into the game, Tottenham's players turned Fulham's backline into a pot of porridge with patient passes up front and constant cross-positioning, and then Toney took advantage of the chaos to receive a cross from Darren Anderton in the box and beat Van der Sar's ten fingers with a close-range header to open the scoring for Tottenham!

The one-goal deficit just five minutes into the game disrupted Fulham's pre-match deployment, forcing the visitors to change their style of play and take the initiative in the following time, hoping to equalize or even overtake the score as soon as possible and regain the initiative in the game!

Fulham's approach is playing right on Tottenham. After actively shrinking the defence and luring the Fulham players into unwittingly pressing the formation, Tottenham's counter-attack finally came into play. With Luca Toney as a tactical fulcrum, Ribery, Basturk, Darren Anderton and others frequently attacked the visitors' backline, making Fulham's defenders miserable.

In the 58th minute, Vermaelen counterattacked with a long pass after breaking the ball, Toney's header was ferried, and Basturk, who successfully countered offside, broke through on his own, and pushed the goal after shaking off Van der Sar and Alan Goma, who returned to the defense, to help Tottenham seal the victory!

And just like that, when the referee announced the end of the game, Tottenham easily beat the visiting Fulham 2-0 at home and became the first team to qualify for the FA Cup semi-finals!

After two successive victories in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, Tottenham's players are inevitably showing a hint of fatigue. After all, Bolton Wanderers and Fulham are both the kind of teams that play extremely toughly, so while it looks like Tottenham will win both games with ease, the physical exertion of the players is not small at all.

Worst of all, Ledley King suffered a minor injury in the team's training before the league tie with Middlesbrough. Although there was no major problem after being examined by the team doctor, he was also out for nearly two weeks. This means that Tottenham will have to face the Premier League powerhouses in the absence of their own captain in the next few rounds!

The roof leak happened to rain overnight. Immediately afterwards, Stephen Carr was also found by the team doctor to have a recurrence of his knee injury during a routine medical check-up and had to hang up his exemption card. Coupled with the suspension of the main defender Mascherano for accumulating yellow cards, George has become even more stretched in the arrangement!

Faced with this extremely embarrassing situation, George had to admit that he had made a mistake in the rotation strategy, and at the same time secretly made up his mind to wait for this group of players to grow and build confidence this season, and then cancel the rotation that had gradually shown its drawbacks. After all, although the practice of arranging substitutes to focus on domestic cup competitions can maximize the enthusiasm of substitute players, it also makes Tottenham's line-up easier to be understood by opponents, and it is also easier to target Tottenham.

Although McClaren was a little slow to react to on-the-spot adjustments, and as a head coach, he was only second-rate, but his pre-game setup was quite good. As a result, in this 27th round of the Premier League, facing Middlesbrough, who was full of main players, Tottenham, which lacked many main players and was tired, unsurprisingly fell into a bitter battle after the game began!

Although the Tottenham players did their best on the pitch and managed to take a one-goal lead in the 39th minute thanks to a long-range shot from Cristiano Ronaldo, a defensive mistake by Dawson in the 81st minute made the entire Tottenham team's efforts all go to naught - Mendieta's cross from the right, Dawson tried to clear the ball with a header but accidentally went overheaded, and Macarone, who was ambushed in the penalty area, won the ball and pushed it into the near corner of the goal, leveling the score to a 1-1 draw!

Eventually, when all 90 minutes of play had passed, the Tottenham players, who were tied with Middlesbrough in regulation time, had to come to terms with frustration as their team drew four in a row in the league.
