Chapter 396: The Withered White Rose
"I really didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to win against you like this. Although he was extremely dissatisfied with the result of the game, in front of George, Ferguson still showed the courage he should have as a famous coach, and did not lose his demeanor in front of his disciples because of this draw, "Boy, wait and see." The next time you fight, I'm sure I'll give you a taste of defeat!"
"Haha, then I'll be waiting for Alex in White Hart Lane when the time comes. Relying on a set of substitute lineups to get a draw and a point at Old Trafford, although George didn't say anything, he was extremely happy in his heart. Therefore, for Ferguson's words that he would not lose the game, George, who had already obtained an ideal result, just smiled and did not have a verbal dispute with the other party.
Only after the real fight will you know how terrible the hidden combat effectiveness of this Manchester United team is After Rooney, Joaquin, Carrick and Hargreaves and Van der Sar and other strong reinforcements have joined one after another, the Red Devils are gradually getting out of the influence of the "92 golden generation", and when most people's eyes are focused on Tottenham and Chelsea, which are in the limelight, they have quietly completed the renewal of the team!
Especially Van der Sar. Despite his age, the Dutch international is the most reassuring goalkeeper for Manchester United since Kasper Schmeichel. With him in front of goal, Ferguson no longer has to worry about his team being killed by his own people after taking the lead.
Of course, judging from the current situation, in order to completely eliminate this phenomenon, Ferguson must at least bring in a reliable central defender to replace Silvestre and Brown. Otherwise, even with Van der Sar on goal, it is difficult to guarantee that the team will not be cheated by their own people in the game.
Perhaps, it is precisely because of this realization that Mourinho and Kenyon spared no effort to privately cut off and poach Manchester United in their previous lives. Now, thanks to George's involvement, Tottenham, Manchester United and Chelsea have formed an early alliance that prohibits hostile competition with each other, so the Blues can only compete with Manchester United in the transfer market, and there is no way to intercept the Red Devils' recruitment targets through private contact.
The most important thing is that Klose's goal not only successfully kept Tottenham unbeaten, but also helped Tottenham continue to lead the league standings by one point against Everton, who are at the bottom of the points.
Tottenham can be said to be extremely excited about this news. You know, after the draw with Manchester United, they are mentally prepared to be overtaken by Chelsea. I didn't expect Everton to be so powerful, and they successfully blocked the Blues at home!
After leaving Old Trafford and politely declining Alex Ferguson's invitation to "sit at home", George led the team back to London overnight. Because in four days, Tottenham will usher in the first League Cup match of the season, and the opponent is Leeds United, the "Young Guard" who once shocked European football!
Unlike West Ham, who can rely on a strong youth system and a quick return to the Premier League even after relegation, the impact of falling into the Championship is devastating. Not only will the team be divided up by all the giants, but because of the relationship between relegation and forced sales, these players can't be sold for a high price, resulting in Leeds United's financial crisis not being alleviated at all!
In addition, when Rieddale was in charge, Leeds United, who mainly focused on poaching young talents at high prices, did not invest much in youth training. So, when Leeds sold out of first-team players this summer, they were financially strapped for neither signing quality players from the transfer market nor finding much available talent from the academy ranks!
It is foreseeable that if there is no local tyrant boss willing to take over, then the fall of Leeds United will definitely continue for a long time!
Facing a Leeds United team that has been in poor form recently and has struggled to defend itself in the Championship, George naturally did not hesitate to send a full bench lineup, and the performance of the players did not disappoint him, Larsson took advantage of a corner kick opportunity just three minutes into the game to open the scoring for the team, Mendieta and Dempsey also contributed to the next game, helping Tottenham Hotspur to a 3-0 victory at home!
After kicking Leeds United out of the Carabao Cup, the 11th round of the Premier League also arrived as scheduled. And this day is also the day that all Tottenham fans have been waiting for a long time, because in this round, the first north London derby of the season will finally officially start at White Hart Lane!
Tottenham fans have never expected so much from a north London derby. You know, before George took over, Tottenham had always played the role of being bullied by Arsenal in the north London derby. And since George became Tottenham's owner and manager, the two sides have taken a 180-degree turn in the derby. Tottenham not only broke the curse of the north London derby in one fell swoop, but also suppressed Arsenal, the century-old enemy!
With the head-to-head record dominant, it's only natural that fans will be looking forward to derby. Otherwise, even if the derby was so important, Tottenham fans would not have shown such enthusiasm!
Arsenal fans, meanwhile, were in a gloomy mood at this time, in stark contrast to the emotionally charged Tottenham fans. After all, Arsenal have had a poor start to the Premier League season, being left behind early by rivals such as Tottenham and Chelsea, and are now eighth in the table after 10 rounds of league play. In such a situation, it is natural that Gunners fans will not have much to expect from the outcome of the derby.
Four games in a row in just 10 days, including Lyon, Manchester United and Arsenal. Considering that Tottenham will meet Lyon again two days after the north London derby, Tottenham's schedule during this period is terrifying!
Although George is very sure that no one is getting in the way, when he sees such a schedule, he will inevitably have a little doubt in his heart, thinking that someone is not pleasing to Tottenham and intends to take this opportunity to embarrass him.
Thinking about it, George felt that he was still a little worried. After all, his identity and background are there, and even the president of the FA has to be respectful when he encounters him, which idiot who doesn't want to die will come to find trouble for himself?
In this way, under the intense and busy atmosphere of preparation and the anticipation of Tottenham fans, the first north London derby of the 05-06 season officially kicked off at White Hart Lane on October 29th!
