Chapter 278: Bloodbath

Tottenham's first contract in the Champions League semi-finals was not too surprising for Juventus. After all www.biquge.info although both teams had a few good chances to score in the game, the whole process of the game was still a little dull - in the face of the great wall of steel carefully constructed by Capello and the backline painstakingly tuned by Allegri, whether it was the attacking trident of Klose, Arjen Robben and Ronaldo, or the forward combination of Trezeguet and Pierrot, it was difficult to get enough space to play. Coupled with the fact that players on both sides put too much emphasis on the struggle for control of the midfield, their support for the front court has dropped significantly, and the excitement of the game has naturally been greatly affected.

While Tottenham fans were pleased with the result of the draw away from Juventus, for the Tottenham players, they were unhappy with the draw in their hearts. In their opinion, Juventus was actually at the end of the game in the final stages of the game. Just give them another ten minutes and they will be able to use their physical advantage to wear out their opponents alive and win this game!

George didn't rush into action about the players' thoughts. For example, to be reasonable and make them realize that beating Juventus is not something that can be done with words. Doing so is likely to undermine the confidence of the players and have a negative impact on Tottenham's upcoming games. Instead, they chose to carefully observe the mental state of the players and then prescribe the right medicine, and use more targeted means to regulate the players' emotions.

"Didn't you say you were close to winning Juventus?, now I'm going to give you a chance to prove yourself!" George said disdainfully, pointing to the schedule hanging on the wall, "See? Two days later we will play Aston Villa, and in five days there will be the second leg against Juventus." If you think you have what it takes, then prove it to me with a two-game winning streak, and if you can't, then let Aston Villa celebrate the victory at White Hart Lane in two days! Of course, I'm sure no one will blame you for this defeat. ”

George's agitation can be said to have achieved quite significant results. Provoked by their own manager, the Tottenham players who were still struggling with the previous game suddenly turned their attention to the subsequent games, and at the same time found a place to vent the grievances accumulated in their hearts, that is, Aston Villa, who is about to play Tottenham in the league next!

I have to say that Aston Villa is really a bit unlucky. They had planned to take advantage of Tottenham's excessive consumption in the Champions League to get a win and make a last-ditch push to qualify for next season's European competition. However, what Aston Villa never expected was that what awaited them was not a team exhausted after a tough battle, but a top team with high morale and an extremely strong desire to win!

In this way, in the face of this opponent who seemed to have beaten chicken blood, Aston Villa, who had no defense against it, naturally suffered a big loss. In this 36th round of the Premier League, they were going to take advantage of the fire to rob Tottenham Hotspur, who was playing at home, and they couldn't see that they were a team ranked in the upper middle of the Premier League standings!

Just six minutes into the game, Casey Keller kicked the ball away after receiving a return pass from Baines. Cruising around the centre of the pitch, Kompany took advantage of his height to head the ball to Villa in front of him, who broke free from Ridgewell's marking and burst into the box to score a dream start to the game, 1-0!

Tottenham's slap in the face immediately made Aston Villa, who felt good about themselves before the game, dizzy. They didn't expect that Tottenham, who played all the substitutes in this game and had encountered strong opponents in the past half a month, could still have such a strong fighting power!

In the 11th minute, Mendieta was brought to the ground by Gareth Barry as he dribbled forward, and Tottenham won a free-kick in front. The former best midfielder in Europe fired a powerful volley from 25 yards out before bouncing off the wall and hitting the left-hand post before bounced back into the box. Sean Davies tried to clear the ball but accidentally kicked the ball in the face of Vermaelen, and the Belgian was caught off guard with his face to block the ball into the goal in front of him, 2-0!

By the time the Aston Villa players finally recovered from their blows and realised what was happening on the pitch, twenty minutes had passed and the score on the big screen had been rewritten to 3-0 by Tottenham. In other words, unless there is a miracle in the next time, or someone in the Aston Villa team is suddenly possessed by the souls of Hearst, Greaves, Lineker or Alan Shearer, Aston Villa's defeat of White Hart Lane is almost a foregone conclusion!

Although David O'Reilly jumped to his feet and shouted loudly from the sidelines, trying to get his players back on his feet, the resistance that Aston Villa had managed to organise collapsed in an instant in the face of Tottenham, which had already killed the red-eyed Tottenham, and it didn't have much effect at all!

In the 32nd minute, Aston Villa made another low-level mistake when defending a set-piece in front of the field - De La Cruz was unsuccessful in the box and was saved by Villa, whose shot rolled straight to Ribery's feet after being blocked by Ridgewell's outstretched leg!

In the face of such a big gift, Ribery naturally had no reason to let it go. The Frenchman scored from six yards in front of goal, extending Tottenham's lead to four goals in one fell swoop!

With a four-goal lead in the first half, Tottenham's players looked somewhat slack at the start of the second half. However, with tacit coordination and sharp attack, Tottenham still firmly controlled the situation on the field, and Villa scored again in the 68th minute!

It wasn't until the 75th minute that Aston Villa finally got the back of the game when Dawson was awarded a penalty for handball in the box, and Gareth Barry slotted home a face-saving goal for the visitors!

In this way, by the end of the game, the stands at White Hart Lane had turned into a sea of celebration - more than 30,000 fans who had come to cheer for Tottenham Hotspur were now happily celebrating the 5-1 victory!
