"Congratulations to Tottenham!, after 90 minutes of duel, they successfully stood on the winner's podium with a 5-1 win over rivals Arsenal in the 04-05 FA Cup final!" Andy Gray said with emotion as he blew the whistle announcing the end of the game. Prior to this, there were many voices singing about Tottenham, believing that the team lacked enough experience from the manager to the players, and it was likely to repeat the scene of Bayer Leverkusen's victory over Sanya in the 01-02 season, which would deal a serious blow to the team's morale and collapse next season. But for now, I want to say that all the fans who care about Tottenham can rest assured. With an FA Cup title in hand, whatever the outcome, Tottenham are already destined not to repeat the mistakes of Bayer Leverkusen!"

Andy Gray's assessment is not out of nourishment. You know, the reason why the pharmaceutical company collapsed in the following 02-03 season after the 01-02 season, and even almost relegated from the Bundesliga, Bayern poached Ballack and Ze Roberto's two midfield pillars in the summer of 02 is part of the reason, but Leverkusen's Sanya King in the 01-02 season is also one of the main reasons why they ended up like this!

After fighting hard for a whole season, he won three runners-up in a row (international players such as Ballack, LaMelo and Novotny who accompanied the German national team to the World Cup in South Korea and Japan were even more unlucky, because they had to add another World Cup runner-up to their resume), but also was dubbed the "King of Sanya" by the media. This brutal result is undoubtedly a double blow from physical to psychological for all Bayer Leverkusen players!

Fans may think this title is very bullish, but for Leverkusen players, the name of Sanya King is more like a curse, adding an attribute to them that has no chance of winning the championship. And, most crucially, after a very good season, the end of the four ended up empty, leaving the Leverkusen players feeling that the team has reached the top and will not achieve any more dazzling achievements if they continue to stay at Bayer Stadium.

In this way, the heartless Leverkusen players began the journey of the 02-03 season, coupled with the fact that most of the main players were plagued by injuries in the previous season and the subsequent World Cup, which led to the inability to guarantee attendance and a serious decline in state, if there is no problem with the results of the pharmaceutical factory, it is abnormal!

Tottenham's current situation is completely different from Leverkusen, after winning the FA Cup, the team has been reassured - no matter what, they will not be like Leverkusen, the media and fans will be buckled with a "Sanya King" hat that has no chance of winning the championship!

Although the FA Cup is the lightest of the three competitions, it is enough to boost morale and keep Tottenham in the best possible state of mind for the Champions League final that will take place in five days' time!

The reason why the historical Bayer Leverkusen did not achieve anything for half a full game after Zinedine Zidane's out-of-the-sky goal, substitute Casillas was indeed one of the biggest contributors, but it cannot be ignored the negative impact on the team's morale caused by Bayer's previous consecutive losses in the German Cup and league titles.

'Arsene Wenger and the Arsenal players should be thankful for UEFA at this time. Had it not been for the fact that they set the Champions League final between Tottenham and AC Milan five days later, which led to Tottenham starting to retain their strength in the face of a big lead, rather than continuing to chase Arsenal on the pitch, the FA Cup final would have become even more divided. Martin Taylor, meanwhile, also said his opinion: "Coach Wenger must now think about why Arsenal end up like this every time they meet Tottenham. As time went on, Arsenal's performance actually got worse and worse. From the defeat of one goal in the Community Shield, to the four-goal bloodbath by Tottenham Hotspur who played as a substitute, and now to being beaten 0-4 by Tottenham in just one first half, such an obvious change is indeed worthy of serious reflection by Arsenal. ”

Martin Taylor's evaluation, although not very popular, is indeed to the point. Indeed, if George has deflated Arsenal in consecutive north London derbies in his first year in charge, Arsene Wenger can also make an excuse that he is not familiar enough with the new Tottenham to be so embarrassed in the derby. So now, Wenger still has no way to take the Tottenham led by George, and he has lost more and more badly, which cannot but explain some problems.

Soon, under the busy work of the on-site staff, a simple podium was set up in the center of the field. The first to take the stage were the runners-up, the runners-up, and under the leadership of captain Patrick Vieira, they bowed their heads one by one to take away their medals - after just suffering a heavy defeat and the four major ones have been empty this season, Arsenal are really not in the mood to play with the medal in their hands.

After the Arsenal team took home the medal representing the runners-up, it was the turn of Tottenham Hotspur as champions. The whole team took the stage one by one and received the medal from the Prince of Kent, who had a smiling face.

"Even I have a share?" Vermaelen asked with surprise as he looked at the medal handed to him, "It's not that anyone who doesn't play in the final won't get a medal......

"That's right. Mr. Vermaelen. Without waiting for Vermaelen to finish, the Prince of Kent interrupted the Belgian with a smile, "But there are exceptions to everything. In order to get you a medal as well, your head coach spoke to us before the game and offered to pay £150,000 for each additional medal. Coupled with the fact that you have contributed to English football in this season's Champions Cup, we have decided to open the net this time so that everyone can receive a medal!"

Although the FA Cup has made it clear in terms of awarding medals that only players who are in the squad and play in the final are eligible to receive medals, in the case that the British royal family has asked George, and George has also made it clear that he will pay for this part of the additional medals at his own expense, no one will be blind to Tottenham on this rule.

Looking at the medal in their hands that could not have been won, thinking of Prince Kent's previous explanation, Vermaelen and the others couldn't help but be filled with gratitude to George - it was really the luckiest thing in their lives to be able to play under such a humane manager!
