With a late thunt by Steven Gerrard, Tottenham's campaign in the Carabao Cup this season came to an end. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 InfoAlthough it may be regrettable that the road to defending the Carabao Cup came to an abrupt end, now that it has happened, all Tottenham supporters can do now is accept the reality.

Liverpool fans were naturally overjoyed with the victory. You must know that Tottenham Hotspur is no longer the team that could only linger in the middle of the table two years ago, but a first-class team that has the strength to compete for the league title and can beat top giants such as Bayern and Juventus in the Group of Death. There are very few teams that can beat it head-to-head, with even Arsenal and Manchester United failing to reap the benefits of Tottenham. In addition, George Nelson's strong Manchester United brand has also made Liverpool fans, who have always hated the Red Devils, hostile to him.

Therefore, after this game, the long-suppressed Liverpool fans rightfully praised the manager Benitez and the Reds players led by Steven Gerrard, and put all kinds of praise on their heads, as if they had won the Premier League trophy after beating Tottenham!

However, in the midst of all the accolades, there are two people in the Liverpool squad who did not bask in the joy of beating Tottenham in the Carabao Cup: captain Steven Gerrard and manager Rafa Benitez. Unlike the fans, who only pay attention to the outcome of the game, they are more concerned about another issue at this time with different perspectives.

If facing Tottenham Hotspur, which can almost be said to be an all-substitute lineup, Liverpool, who sent most of the main players, can only rely on Gerrard's killer ball to get through the danger at the last moment, then when the two sides meet in the league or in the Champions Cup, will Liverpool be able to withstand the attack of Tottenham's main force?

At the same time, George, who had returned from Anfield, was also lost in thought. However, he is not thinking about how to get the players out of the shadow of the League Cup, or let the team that has only won one game, drawn two and lost one of the last four games find the direction of victory, but the feasibility of poaching Steven Gerrard from Liverpool!

As for how to adjust the team's form, George says it's not a problem – the Tigers have their naps, and Tottenham have been so bad in the first few months that it's normal for them to have a period of slump. What's more, in this game against Liverpool and the previous game against Aston Villa, Tottenham sent a large number of substitutes to start the game. In such a situation, it is inevitable that the team's results will fluctuate to a certain extent.

The introduction of Steven Gerrard from Liverpool and the complete transplantation of the midfield triangle of "Gerrard-Alonso-Mascherano" who shocked Europe in the past life to Tottenham Hotspur in this life is an idea that George has always buried deep in his heart. You must know that in the previous life, Liverpool was led by this midfield combination and Fernando Torres all the way to the top and almost won the club's first ever Premier League title!

Although Liverpool were overtaken by Manchester United in the final standings and ended the season as runners-up in the Premier League, this was mainly due to the serious lack of depth on the bench of the Reds, and Gerrard and other key players could not be blamed. Therefore, out of personal feelings, team tactics, fighting competitors and other factors, George has never given up the idea of bringing Gerrard from Anfield to White Hart Lane!

And now, after the team were beaten by Liverpool in the Carabao Cup, especially after seeing Gerrard cut in the late minute to help Liverpool beat his own Tottenham side in the Carabao Cup, George's desire to win the Reds captain has been rekindled and has become stronger than before!

So, after the game, George contacted Liverpool owner David Morse overnight, expressing his intention to bring Gerrard to White Hart Lane, and said very generously on the phone that he was willing to make an offer of up to 50 million pounds for Gerrard!

Although this transfer offer is far beyond Gerrard's actual value, considering the Reds captain's status at Anfield, the addition of the English account book to the value of the homegrown player, and the boost that this transfer can play for Tottenham's prestige in international football, this transfer fee is actually not a loss for Tottenham.

However, David Morse is not a fool. Although Liverpool's poor results in recent years, as well as the team's huge investment in the transfer market and the high wages of players in recent years, his assets have shrunk a lot, but Morse is well aware of Gerrard's importance to Liverpool. So, despite the £50 million offer, the Liverpool boss gritted his teeth and rejected George's offer after struggling inwardly and asking Rafael Benitez for advice.

Morse's choice did not come as a surprise to George. In fact, in George's view, Morse is the reaction of a club president – Gerrard is already the only player in the Liverpool squad with superstar potential after Owen's departure, and is the only two remaining home flags of Liverpool (the other being Carragher). Therefore, if Morse had agreed to sell Gerrard to Tottenham immediately under the lure of 50 million pounds, then George would have lowered his opinion of Morse.

Of course, even if Morse rejects George's offer this time, George will not easily give up his plan to bring in Gerrard. He clearly remembers that Gerrard in his previous life had hesitated for a long time in the summer of '05 about whether to join Chelsea, and it was only because Liverpool's miraculous cup lift in Istanbul at that time gave him a glimmer of hope for a rise that he chose to stay at Anfield. And Liverpool in this life has obviously missed the Istanbul miracle, and can't even get a Champions Cup seat. It is difficult for such a Liverpool team to retain a top star like Gerrard for a long time.

Now, despite being knocked out of the Carabao Cup quarter-finals by Liverpool, the mentality of the Tottenham players has not been greatly affected by this defeat, but they have invariably breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts - now that they have finished top of the group in the Carabao Cup, they can finally have a normal schedule for the time being.

Although under George's careful construction, Tottenham's bench depth is the best in the Premier League, and every player in the first team has at least the strength to establish themselves in the Premier League, so that the team will not have physical problems when playing two games a week, but even so, the mental fatigue brought by multi-front combat cannot be easily eliminated.

Seon lost his horse, but he didn't know if it was a blessing. Exiting the Carabao Cup may not be a bad thing for Tottenham Hotspur, who now need to focus on the league and Champions League.
