Although Tottenham's pre-match ceremony to celebrate Cristiano Ronaldo's victory at the European Ballon d'Or was embarrassing for Portsmouth, fortunately, the difficult time did not last long. Soon after, the Tottenham players ended the brief celebration at the prompt of the referee on duty, Howard Webb, and returned to the pitch to prepare for the 16th round of the Premier League match against Portsmouth!

Even so, Portsmouth's morale has hit rock bottom with the pre-match celebrations that Tottenham had arranged. Unlike Tottenham, who have had a smooth ride since George took over, Portsmouth suffered a power struggle between manager Redknapp Sr. and chairman Mandridge, quickly falling from a mid-table team to a team battling relegation every year. So far, Pompeii are only in the bottom of the Premier League standings, and the relegation situation is not optimistic!

Portsmouth, who have suffered a psychological blow in a row, have no idea of scoring points on Tottenham at this time, just want to finish the game as soon as possible and leave the stadium as soon as possible!

There may be teams that will burst into such a psychological stimulus to break Tottenham's calculations of celebrating Cristiano Ronaldo's Ballon d'Or with a victory, but Portsmouth is definitely not one of them – years of struggling with relegation and the fact that they have been mired in relegation this season have worn down the spirit of Portsmouth's players. And the rumors that Mandridge intends to sell the club have made people in the team even more panicked, and the Portsmouth players, who are worried about their fate, simply cannot fully concentrate on the pitch!

For this situation, the old Redknap, who has just returned to Portsmouth to resume his role as head coach, is also very helpless. Who makes Tottenham have such a good owner and talented manager? who is willing to spend a lot of money to improve the club's hardware and software, and can lead the team to play on his own, so that the strength of the players can be well played. And on his side, there is a lot of chickens and dogs, not only the team's morale is low, the players' ability is insufficient, but also there is a management who always likes to stab in the back?

Because of Ronaldo's relationship with the Ballon d'Or, the morale is like a rainbow, but the opponent is speechless under multiple blows. In such a situation, Tottenham, which has the advantage of being at home, naturally has no reason to overturn in the gutter!

Just 53 seconds into the game, Tottenham took advantage of Portsmouth's unstable foothold to score the first goal. Alonso crossed diagonally in the middle, Gerrard, who had returned from injury, caused Ashdowne to save the ball from outside the penalty area, and Ronaldo, who was cleverly inserted, scored from five meters in front of the goal, 1-0!

Cristiano Ronaldo looked very excited after the goal. I saw the Portuguese clenching his right hand excitedly and yelling, and then rushed straight to the sidelines, hugging George tightly, in this way to express his gratitude to George!

At this moment, Ronaldo's celebration does not know how much film has been erased. The reporters on the sidelines were all frantically pressing the shutter to record this picture firmly!

Although the intimacy between Ronaldo and George was turned over by pervasive journalists as early as the day the Portuguese was signed by Tottenham from Sporting Lisbon, and was once regarded by many as evidence of George's cronyism, as Ronaldo gradually won people's recognition with his outstanding performance, such voices have become less and less. However, every time Ronaldo shows his intimacy with George in public, he can still attract a lot of attention!

The reason is simple, there is probably no second example like George and Ronaldo in the world. Scarcity is expensive, and fans are naturally willing to pay attention to such news.

"Well done, Chris!" patted Ronaldo on the back, George encouraged with joy, "Keep it up! Remember what I said before the game, I will allow you unlimited firing rights in today's game." Show everybody that your stats aren't as impressive as Frank Lampard's, not because you can't do that, but because you've made a huge sacrifice for the team!"

"No problem!" After winning the European Ballon d'Or, Ronaldo's self-confidence is much stronger than before, "Brother George, just look at it, I will never let you down!"

The situation of falling behind by one goal at the beginning of the game was like a slap in the face, and it instantly knocked out the demoralized Portsmouth players. Before they could come to their senses and find the feeling of the game, Tottenham's fierce attack once again befell them!

It wasn't until George gave the order for the Tottenham players to gradually slow down their attack that the Portsmouth players breathed a sigh of relief. However, the suspense of the game was basically lost at this point - Cristiano Ronaldo and Steven Gerrard scored goals each in the 13th and 20th minutes respectively, helping Tottenham to lead Portsmouth by three goals in the first 20 minutes of the game!

One of the reasons why George gave such an order was because Portsmouth was not Arsenal, there was no deep enmity between it and Tottenham, and there was no need for players to risk provoking their opponents to continue to chase after them. Once the opponent is forced to adopt lethal tactics, then in the end it is Tottenham who will lose more than he loses. Secondly, because Tottenham will travel to Japan to participate in the Club World Cup after this game, George needs the players to have enough energy to cope with this competition - although the other teams participating in the Club World Cup have a huge gap with Tottenham in terms of strength, but if Tottenham takes the Club World Cup lightly because of this, then the possibility of a gutter capsizing also exists.

After conceding three goals in the opening 20 minutes, the Portsmouth players had no intention of resisting. The old Redknapp, who realized that the general trend was gone, also took the initiative to replace Lualua and Gary O'Neill at halftime and announced that he would abandon the game!

After Portsmouth surrendered early, Cristiano Ronaldo was the only player left with motivation on the field. The Portuguese, who has already scored twice, is still actively involved in every attack of the team, intent on scoring his first hat-trick at Tottenham!

The emperor lives up to his wishes. In the 63rd minute, Salif Dior fouled Gerrard while defending, Alonso sent a free kick quickly in the middle circle of the field, Gerrard, who moved to the right side, crossed directly at a 45-degree angle without stopping the ball, and Ronaldo, who was ambushed in the penalty area, received Klose's header and volleyed, hitting the ball into the lower right corner of the goal, completing his hat trick in this game, 4-0!

In the 80th minute of the game, Stefanovic hesitated when he controlled the ball in the backfield, Ronaldo took the opportunity to steal and then picked up the penalty area with his right foot, and Klose easily pushed the goal in the face of Ashdowne, who was already caught off guard, and scored the last goal of the game!

Tottenham Hotspur celebrated Cristiano Ronaldo with a hearty victory as the club's first-ever Ballon d'Or winner, and Ronaldo also used a hat-trick to prove that he deserved to win the Ballon d'Or this time!
