Being opened up by Tottenham at this juncture is undoubtedly an extremely huge psychological blow for the Chelsea players. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info If Chelsea players can comfort themselves in their hearts when they were one point behind Tottenham Hotspur before, they can reverse their unfavorable situation in the league table with just one chance, then now that Tottenham have widened the gap to three points, no matter how indestructible the nerves of these Chelsea players are, there will be a trace of despair.

Although the league is still a full 12 rounds away, and the difference between the two teams is now only one goal, Chelsea have plenty of time and leeway to recover from the disadvantage, but the result of the home draw with Manchester City still dealt a serious blow to the morale of Chelsea players!

The low morale of the players is directly reflected in the upcoming games for Chelsea. In the 27th round of the Premier League a week later, the all-out Blues faced David Moyes' Everton side, and it took a lot of effort to rely on a direct free-kick from Ibrahimovic in stoppage time to win the resilient toffee at Goodison Park, and finally did not give Tottenham a chance to extend their lead further.

On Tottenham's side, the news of Chelsea's gutter overturn at Manchester City has been a significant source of encouragement. No, in the match against Charlton Athletic on February 12, Tottenham Hotspur, who were away at The Valley, easily drew the city rival. The goals of Klose and Cristiano Ronaldo successfully helped Tottenham Hotspur to take away a victory from the road!

After a two-goal win away at Charlton Athletic, the Premier League entered a brief break and would not rekindle until half a month later. As a result, the Premier League teams, who have been fighting for most of the season, finally have a rare respite to adjust their goals at the beginning of the season according to the current situation, and seize the time to recover their almost depleted energy in order to start a sprint towards the new season goals!

However, although the league will be temporarily suspended for half a month, this does not mean that the Premier League teams really have nothing to do. Because the "caring" FA has already arranged the FA Cup and League Cup matches for them during this time!

In particular, those teams who have previously drawn in the fourth round of the FA Cup and need to be replayed (note: although the FA Cup is a single-elimination system, if the two sides draw before the semi-finals, they will need to be replayed at a later date), they are arguably the most famous of all Premier League clubs. Because when other teams have a rare break, or only have to deal with a schedule of one game a week, they also have to struggle with a schedule of two games a week!

On top of that, Chelsea and Liverpool, the two teams that reached this season's Carabao Cup final, are facing a similar situation. In some ways, they are even better off than the teams that need to play in the FA Cup replay. Because the date set by the FA for the League Cup final coincides with the date of the 28th round of the Premier League!

Tottenham's schedule is much easier in comparison. With the FA Cup already used as a training ground for young players and substitutes, and already out of the Carabao Cup, Tottenham players can recharge their batteries for the Champions League quarter-finals against Real Madrid!

Of course, before they can take on Real Madrid, Tottenham will need to deal with their opponents in the fifth round of the FA Cup, Nottingham Forest, who have dominated English and European football.

Although George is not very interested in the FA Cup and only uses it as a place to keep the substitutes in shape and develop their abilities, it is obviously the best stage for the substitutes, especially those young players with strong ambition, to show their individual ability and football talent!

As for Nottingham Forest, although the club rose to the top under Brian Clough and even stood on the podium of the European Champions Cup twice, the glory of the Forest team is gone after the arrival of the Premier League era. After losing in the promotion play-offs last season, Nottingham Forest have struggled in the renamed Championship this season and are likely to be relegated to League One at the end of the season.

With the league situation in jeopardy, it is only natural that Nottingham Forest may be putting too much thought into the FA Cup – and it would be fun if spending too much on the FA Cup would result in the team eventually being relegated from the Championship.

In this match on 20 February, Nottingham Forest, who visited White Hart Lane, could not stop Tottenham from progressing to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, despite desperate resistance on the pitch and even resorting to the Championship side's trademark brutal defensive and foul tactics - Vermaelen scored with a header from a corner kick from Mendieta in the 70th minute to help Tottenham Hotspur win at home!

Tottenham fans only celebrated the team's narrow one-goal win at home to Nottingham Forest after the game. After all, it's not unusual for Tottenham to win against a team from the Championship, even if Tottenham field a full bench in this game, even if Tottenham's opponent in this game is the once famous Nottingham Forest!

Of course, if Tottenham Hotspur loses to Nottingham Forest in this FA Cup match, it will definitely cause a lot of turmoil after the game, and Tottenham fans will feel extremely disappointed.

The day after the match with Nottingham Forest, the entire Tottenham team flew to Madrid, the capital of Spain, to prepare for the Champions Cup match with Real Madrid, which was hailed by the media and fans as the "Galaxy Battleship"!

In the eyes of fans and the media, the match at the Bernabeu Stadium was undoubtedly an extremely difficult challenge for Tottenham. You must know that although Tottenham Hotspur was the runner-up of the Premier League last season and also had a very outstanding performance in the group stage of the Champions League this season, but in the face of a super team like Real Madrid, Tottenham's strength still seems a little insufficient. This was the general perception of the European sports media and professionals before the start of the game. Only a handful of hardcore Tottenham supporters, such as Andy Gray and Martin Taylor, thought Tottenham had a chance of knocking out Real Madrid!

Because Tottenham is about to face, but it has been rated by FIFA as the "greatest club of the 20th century", has won the most championships in the Champions Cup, and has Ronaldo, Raul, Robert Carlos and other seven top football superstars, the Spanish super giant Real Madrid!
