The head-to-head clash between Tottenham and Real Madrid is arguably the most eye-catching match of this round of the Champions League group stage. After all, the two teams that have played each other, one is a top club that has risen strongly in the past two years, and it is the winner of the Champions League last season, and its performance since the start of this season is also extremely strong, and the other is the best club of the 20th century in the history of the Champions League with the most trophies and officially recognized by FIFA. Not to mention, these two teams are also among the most popular among the top giants in the fan base. In such a situation, it is not surprising that Tottenham and Real Madrid have become hard to find in the first leg of the Champions League group stage, and it is not surprising that a ticket of the lowest grade has been sold by scalpers for hundreds of pounds.

In order to better prepare for the game, the entire Tottenham team flew to Madrid, the capital of Spain, the day before the start of the game. Under the guidance of the Tottenham staff who arrived in advance, the team arrived at the hotel where they were staying, and then carried out the field acclimatization training and pre-match tactical drills as planned!

For this match with Real Madrid, George can be said to attach great importance to it. On the one hand, because Tottenham, as an emerging giant, needs to show enough convincing performance in this kind of strong dialogue to consolidate its position as a giant. On the other hand, it is because the current Real Madrid has changed considerably in terms of strength compared with the previous life. Therefore, if George still treats this game with the same eyes as the Galactic Battleship in his previous life, then Real Madrid will definitely bring an extremely profound lesson to Tottenham!

And just like that, the time came on September 29. On this day, the whole Tottenham Hotspur team arrived at the Bernabeu Stadium earlier than Real Madrid, ready to seize the last bit of time to get used to this field!

For a team like Real Madrid, which has superstars like Zinedine Zidane, Raul and David Beckham who can change the course of a game in an instant, any negligence and carelessness could undo all the team's efforts in this game. For this, both George and his players are very clear in their hearts, and naturally they will not take this kind of thing lightly.

"Coming here so early and coming to see our pre-race warm-ups. Florentino, are you going to become a scout instead?" Glancing at the Lafayette who appeared beside him, George quipped quietly while observing the players who were warming up on the field, "He actually went out to find out about our military situation himself...... Looks like you're not confident in this game!"

"Haha, George, you know. It's better to let the professionals do this kind of thing. For a layman like me, it's better to be an honest spectator. Although Florentino and George have a good personal relationship, Real Madrid has not completely come out of the trough, but at this time, Lafayette still behaved extremely confidently, confidently made a victory declaration in front of George, "Wait and see, the final winner of this game will definitely be Real Madrid!"

It's not for nothing that Florentino has shown such confidence. After receiving George's guidance, Lafayette, whose recruitment strategy has changed, has brought in the famous coach Heathfield as the new manager of Real Madrid this past summer. Under the tutelage of the German coach, the Galaxy Battleship, which had been declining due to the serious aging of the team's superstars and the imbalance between attack and defense, was rejuvenated this season, not only topping the standings in La Liga, leaving behind Barcelona who had a poor performance at the beginning of the league, but also defeated Lyon 3-1 at the Geraine Stadium in the first round of the Champions League group stage!

If it weren't for Tottenham's five-goal thrashing of Udinese on the other pitch, Real Madrid would now be at the top of the group!

Now that Heathfield had led the team to a perfect start, Florentino naturally had no intention of interfering with the Germans' formation. Although Florentino has not given up on his dream of bringing all the world's superstars to Real Madrid, as a successful businessman, Galeries Lafayette is not a master who does not listen to the right advice. Not to mention, the better Heathfield does at Real Madrid, the less calls will be made for him to step down. In this way, the opposition's intention to replace itself naturally became a flash in the pan and an impossible task!

Thinking of this, Florentino couldn't help but rejoice in his wise move to fire Luxemberg. Although Luxenburg is indeed famous, and has led the team to achieve some results as a head coach, he has never coached in a European club before becoming the manager of Real Madrid, and he lacks the knowledge and experience of European football like Heathfield, nor does he have the prestige and connections of a German coach. Coupled with the fact that he has been coaching in South American football for many years, which emphasizes the individual ability of the stars, Luxemberg, who is accustomed to relying on the stars to solve problems, and the mainstream European football style that increasingly emphasizes team work seems to be very incompatible. Therefore, the same lineup, in the hands of Heathfield, is obviously more powerful than under Luxemberg!

Take tonight's game, for example. Heathfield did something Luxenberg would never have done when they were in the line-up – the German coach put Raul and Guti on the bench, put Robinho and Ronaldo up front, and replaced Zinedine Zidane, who was injured during the French national team, with Baptista as the starting midfielder!

Guti substitute aside, although the "Golden Wolf" is the vice president of the Real Madrid team, he rarely serves as the main force of the team, and his position on the field often changes, and it is not too unusual to play as a substitute for Baptista. But who is Raul? Real Madrid's captain, the team's flag, the absolute boss of the dressing room, one of the few superstars in Spanish football!

Heathfield, however, did just that. The German coach ignored the player's fame and influence within the team, and put the interests of the team first, and did not compromise on the arrangement of troops because of external factors. With Raul not injured, the Lord of the Rings was directly included in the list of substitutes for this game. Heathfield's courage is evident from this!

Only such a head coach can bring the Galaxy Battleship back on track that has deviated from its course!

Facing a Real Madrid team that is completely different from last season, Tottenham Hotspur is bound to usher in a tough battle at the Bernabeu Stadium!
