"Goooooooal! Robben! beautiful curling volley!" Seeing Michelle signal that the goal was valid, Andy Gray, who had been depressed for a whole game, finally found an outlet and released all the passion that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time, "Now the score on the field is 0-1! Tottenham Hotspur temporarily leads PSV Eindhoven by one goal and has taken the lead in this Champions Cup quarter-finals!"

"Andy [Gray], I don't know if you have noticed that Robben seems to have improved a lot after moving to Tottenham Hotspur compared to last year's European Championship. "While Andy Gray was singing the praises of Robben's wonderful performance, Martin Taylor began to analyze the changes that had taken place in Robben himself, "Although Robben had a very eye-catching performance at the European Championship in Portugal, his style of play at that time gave me the feeling of being more like another traditional winger in the style of Overmars, most of the time he was mainly breaking through the wings, and the frequency of cutting inside shots and attacking changes was not high.www.biquge.info And now, he's improved quite a bit on both. In particular, the inward shot after switching to the right side gave people a feeling of incomprehension. ”

"It's not surprising. Don't forget, Martin, Arjen Robben is one of the most talented players of the new Dutch generation. So, it's no surprise that he's made this level of progress. Andy Gray doesn't care much about Martin Taylor's opinion. In his opinion, a young player like Robben who is on the rise of his career and has great talent is really problematic if he doesn't improve in the past six months.

If Robben has stayed where he has remained for most of the season since joining Tottenham, then there are only two problems. The first is that Tottenham does not pay attention to the development of Robben, and only uses him as a strong wide attacker, and the second is that Robben got carried away after becoming famous and relaxed his requirements for himself, resulting in his improvement during this period is not obvious enough.

"Now, the situation in Eindhoven has become very dangerous. Looking at the Eindhoven players on the pitch with a frown on the side, and Hiddink leaning into Kocu's ear, not knowing what to say, Martin Taylor made this statement: "Robben's goal was so crucial. If PSV Eindhoven don't want to be too passive in the second leg, they will have to go all out to attack the Spurs goal with less than ten minutes remaining. As a result, their defence is bound to expose a lot of gaps, and Tottenham's quick counter-attacks, which have been carefully sealed by Hiddink, come into play. ”

I have to say that Martin Taylor's judgment was very accurate. Arjen Robben's last-minute goal not only completely disrupted Hiddink's pre-match preparation, but also put PSV Eindhoven in an embarrassing dilemma. You know, Hiddink's pre-game plan was to win at home and not allow Tottenham to score a crucial away goal in this game. Now, following Robben's goal, Hiddink's plan has fallen through the cracks and can only hope that the team can equalise before the end of the game to minimize their disadvantage.

However, although the PSV Eindhoven players were unwilling to be defeated and launched a ferocious counterattack after the game restarted, Tottenham, who concentrated on the defensive counterattack, were never able to break through the door guarded by Cech!

In this way, when the game was announced at the end of the referee Michel's two short and one long whistles, Tottenham Hotspur, who were visiting the Philips Stadium, relied on Robben's goal to beat PSV Eindhoven 1-0 away and got an extremely valuable victory!

While fans were extremely pleased with the team's victory over PSV Eindhoven and the initiative to qualify for the Champions League semi-finals, George was well aware that after a high-intensity confrontation with PSV Eindhoven, the players who had played in the league would definitely suffer a dip in form or physical strength in the coming league games. Therefore, in order to ensure that the team's combat effectiveness does not fluctuate too much, he must make significant adjustments to the starting lineup for the next game!

It would not be impossible for George to be ruthless in letting these players play in a row, but in doing so, Tottenham will likely pay a very heavy price in the second leg against PSV Eindhoven - the lessons of AC Milan and Real Madrid are a reminder to managers who like to play their line-ups, and make them somewhat skeptical before doing so.

Therefore, in the 32nd round of the Premier League four days later, in the face of Newcastle United, who had decided to attack the Champions Cup, George, who had decided to focus on the Champions League, decisively rotated the starting lineup on a large scale, and even Cech was put on the bench by him, and the American veteran Kathy Keller sat in front of the goal.

Although George fielded a large number of substitutes in this game, the Magpies, whose results have not improved since the change of manager, did not seize the opportunity to avenge their elimination by Tottenham in the FA Cup. Not only was he stared at by the central trio of Dawson, Vermaelen and Kompany on the offensive end, but his own backline was also turned upside down by the likes of Villa and Ribery!

"From the third place in the Premier League in the 02-03 season to the point where we can't even qualify for Europe...... I don't know if Shepard, the old bastard, now regrets crossing the river and demolishing the bridge and encouraging the players to launch a mutiny to drive away the old man. Looking at the listless performance of the Newcastle players, and Souness, who was jumping on the sidelines in a hurry but couldn't come up with any useful countermeasures, George thought with relief, "However, there is no regret in this world. Unless he has the ability to fool a top manager into jumping into this fire pit, and don't see that the manager has more prestige than himself, no one can save Newcastle. ”

Although George is not sure whether Newcastle in this life will be demoted under Shepard's misdeeds like in his previous life, he is sure that if Shepard does not change his behavior pattern and suspicious personality, then Shepard's bold statement that he wants to reproduce Newcastle's glory in the mid-nineties of the last century is completely nonsense!

Even more exciting for the Tottenham players was that when Franck Ribery scored the game-winning goal for Spurs by Ribery's cross, news from another venue came from another venue on the big screen at White Hart Lane - after a hard-fought Champions League quarter-final game against Juventus in midweek, Chelsea, who also rotated in this round of the league, overturned in the gutter and were unexpectedly held to a draw by Steve Bruce's Birmingham City in the gutter at the end of the game!

Having led the team to draw with Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, the two teams in the top two in the table, Steve Bruce and the Birmingham players definitely have the capital to blow up for a whole year!

Eventually, when all 90 minutes were over, Tottenham beat Newcastle 2-0 at White Hart Lane to extend their lead to four points again!
