Seeing Chelsea trail by one goal at the end of the first half, Abramovich in the VIP box at White Hart Lane Stadium looked bad. Although the Russian tycoon is only an outsider in football, he can also see that Ranieri has reservations in the game against Tottenham.www.biquge.info Or, for some reason, the tinkerer did not let Chelsea play with the strongest team in this game, but voluntarily gave up this encounter with Tottenham!

This made Abu feel a little unbearable. Although Chelsea and Tottenham are on good terms now, and Abou even reached an agreement with George to fight against Arsenal, he also does not want Tottenham to overtake Chelsea and replace Arsenal as the new boss of London City. Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Abou to tolerate Ranieri's deliberate release in a direct confrontation with Tottenham - after all, fans and the media will not care if Chelsea have reservations about the game against Tottenham, they will only care about the final result. So, if Chelsea are consistently unable to beat Tottenham head-on, how can the Blues achieve Abramovich's goal?

That's why, despite Arsenal's success in the Premier League this season, the Gunners have struggled to be recognized – the reason is that Arsenal have not won one of their four direct meetings with Tottenham this season, a fact that has dealt a serious blow to the Gunners' prestige among the fan base!

Even the team that can't win the city's sworn enemies dare to say that it is invincible in the world?

However, after much consideration, Abu finally chose to put up with this breath for the time being, and did not make the decision to impulsively dismiss Ranieri directly after the game. After all, although Chelsea, who are 12 points behind Arsenal in the table, are now almost impossible to claim the Premier League title this season, in European competition, Chelsea, who have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, are still hopeful of bringing the Big Ears Cup back to Stamford Bridge. You must know that now that the traditional giants have been upset, Chelsea can be said to be the team with the strongest bench depth and the strongest book strength in the Champions Cup.

Therefore, at this time, it is natural that there are many people who are optimistic that Chelsea will finally win the Champions Cup. Many believe that this is definitely Chelsea's best chance to win the Champions League trophy!

It was because of Chelsea's respectable results in the Champions League that Abramou opened his eyes to the sacking of Ranieri and did not take any action against Ranieri after the team completely lost their hopes of winning the league title. After all, although he doesn't think much of this tinkerer who has no top coach temperament to speak of, the Russian tycoon has to admit that now is indeed not a good time to change the head coach. In that case, it is better to wait until the end of the season and decide whether Ranieri will stay or leave based on the team's overall performance.

Not to mention Roman Abramovich, who was thinking about what to do with Ranieri in the box, at this moment, the tinkerer who had returned to the visiting dressing room with the Chelsea players was also struggling with how to deal with Tottenham in the second half. After all, having decided to strategically abandon the game, Ranieri, as a manager, would never show such emotion in front of his players, as it would only lead to a complete rout at White Hart Lane. What's more, the so-called strategic abandonment is just hiding most of the main players for some reason, and it does not mean that Ranieri really wants to lose to Tottenham.

It stands to reason that there was nothing wrong with Ranieri's pre-match set-up. With Tottenham's home game and the configuration and overall strength of the starting line-up not as good as the opposition, it was a reasonable decision to let the players adopt defensive counter-attacking tactics. After all, although the growth of Cristiano Ronaldo and others has made Tottenham's offensive ability continue to increase, how to break the dense defense has always been a worldwide problem. Even those as strong as AC Milan and Real Madrid have to scratch their heads when they are confronted with a dense defence, let alone Tottenham, who are not as strong as these top giants.

Therefore, ahead of this game, Ranieri's intention is to shrink the defence and defend the area 30 metres in front of his goal, and then take advantage of Tottenham's attacking prowess and defensive weakness to launch a quick counter-attack to increase Chelsea's chances of winning this game.

Ranieri still has a pretty accurate grasp of George's ideas. The tinkerer knows in his heart that Tottenham has basically locked a place in next season's Champions Cup, but George has no intention of stopping there. Because of his relationship with Alex Ferguson, the young coach could not give up the opportunity to compete with Manchester United in the league field!

How can a young manager like George prove that he is already in the blue? Beating Ferguson's Manchester United in a head-to-head meeting is indeed one of the most effective means, and the other way is for Tottenham to overtake Manchester United in the league table!

As a result, Ranieri is determined that Tottenham will go all out to win this game in the hope of equalling or even overtaking Manchester United in the table. That's why the Italian coach made such an arrangement before the game.

It's just that Ranieri finally missed one point, that is, he overestimated Desailly's current competitive state and the ability of Hut, a hopeful star, which led to Chelsea's failure to withstand Tottenham's fierce attack in a defensive counterattack posture, and was broken by Drogba in the first half, making Chelsea's on-field situation extremely passive!

Desailly was indeed the world's best centre-back and defensive midfielder at his peak, but the Frenchman, now 35 years old, is no longer as brave as he once was. As he grew older, Desailly relied more and more on the experience he had accumulated on the pitch to make up for the shortcomings and deficiencies caused by his declining fitness.

Even so, Desailly's declining form is an indisputable fact. After all, at his peak, he was not known for his superb defensive skills, but more on his excellent physical fitness to complete wonderful defenses again and again, so in the face of Drogba, who has basically matured physically and has been improving his skills and awareness under the tutelage of the Tottenham coaching staff, it is naturally difficult for Desailly, who is going downhill, to defend this powerful center forward from Ivory Coast in a one-on-one situation!

Just like six years ago, Vieri, who was playing for Juventus at the time, strode away Franco Baresi, who was once the world's No. 1 central defender, and then beat the old Rossi with a furious shot, sounding the death knell for the unbeatable Milan dynasty. In this game, Drogba also used a crushing dribble breakthrough to shake off the faltering Desailly, and in this way announced that the French central defender is no longer the reassuring anchor in the backline!

As for Hut on the other side, although the young German central defender has been praised by many professionals, believing that he has the ability to become a representative of the new generation of German central defenders with Metzelde, but compared to Metzelde, who is already the absolute main force of Dortmund and proved his strength in the World Cup in South Korea and Japan two years ago, Huth, who is still only the fourth choice in the central defender position at Chelsea, wants to prevent Drogba, the soon-to-be mature "monster", it is obviously an unrealistic thing.

Since Desailly and Hutter had no way to take Drogba, Ranieri pondered for a long time, and could only arrange for Grami and Scott Parker to strengthen the protection of the back line in the second half, and at the same time pay attention to assisting Desailly and them to flank Drogba. As for Galla or John Terry coming off the bench against Drogba, Ranieri didn't think about it at all – if John Terry was on the pitch, then what was the point of Ranieri putting them out of the starting line-up before the game?

Despite the adjustments, Ranieri does not feel that this will be able to keep Drogba at bay. Because the tinkerer can see that Drogba's style of play is very different from that of most power centre-forwards, he does not like to stay in the box waiting for his teammates to pass the ball, and he has a huge range of motion on the pitch. The most important thing is that Drogba also has a defensive enthusiasm that is different from that of ordinary strikers!

Especially when Ranieri saw that Drogba actually chased back to Tottenham's half to intercept Frank Lampard who was advancing with the ball, and the top one turned into Villa, the nominal left winger, the tinkerer was even more envious of George, and said in his heart, why haven't I ever met a center forward who is so active in defense?

Tottenham's erratic style of play has kept their turnover rate high in the game, but it has also put a lot of pressure on the Chelsea players' defence. Because the Chelsea players have no idea what these Spurs up front will be going to do next, and which player they should defend underneath!

Perhaps Tottenham's attack this time is that Drogba retreats to the midfield to defend, Basturkra breaks through on the right, Ronaldo moves to the left wing, and Villa charges at the front, and the next time Tottenham makes a comeback, it becomes Ronaldo who grabs points in the middle, and Drogba and Basturk are replaced by Drogba and Basturk who pull space on the left and right...... What a way for Chelsea players to defend with a sense of purpose!

Eventually, when the referee blew the full-time whistle, George led Tottenham Hotspur to a three-goal win over Chelsea at White Hart Lane to win the 31st round of the Premier League. While kicking the Blues to fourth in the league, they also caught up with Manchester United again in the standings, with 18 wins, 12 draws and 3 losses, accumulating 66 points and the Red Devils in second place in the standings!
