Chapter 379: Victory and Lead

"Love ♂ ÷ Story→" provides you with wonderful novels to read.

Although the right to build and operate the London Olympics has fallen into his own hands, all George can do is make some preliminary plans and arrangements according to the plan made before, and as for the follow-up work, he can only leave it to John Smith to deal with- On the one hand, because George's focus is still on the team, and there is not much energy to deal with this aspect of affairs, and on the other hand, because the new Wembley Stadium, which has been booked as Tottenham's temporary home stadium, has not yet been officially completed at this time, and the reconstruction of White Hart Lane Stadium is naturally difficult to carry out, which leads to George having no way to implement this plan!

No matter how eager you are, you can't let Tottenham live without a home stadium, right? Therefore, George can only ask John Smith to further refine this plan, formulate a set of construction plans and make preliminary preparations, and wait until the new Wembley Stadium is delivered and ready to be put into operation, and then officially launch this large-scale plan!

The newly formed London Organising Committee was extremely pleased with the result – they only needed to sign a few contracts to blame others for all the troubles, and they themselves only needed to be a hands-off shopkeeper waiting to count the money. In their opinion, this is simply a pie-in-the-sky good thing, and a fool will refuse!

Bureaucracy is everywhere, and Britain is no exception. Therefore, when it was learned that Trafalgar was willing to undertake all the work from the construction to the organization to the operation of the London Olympic Games, and would hand over 70% of the net profits made during the London Olympic Games, Baron Sebastian Coe, who was the chairman of the London Olympic Organizing Committee, immediately agreed to the matter and urged the FA to speed up the construction of the new Wembley Stadium, so that Tottenham could move out of White Hart Lane as soon as possible, leaving enough time for Trafalgar to carry out its work!

Why did the British government support London's bid to host the Olympics so strongly? It was not because of the enormous economic benefits that the Olympics could bring? Now they don't have to do any work or pay for it, and they can get 70 percent of the net profits after the Olympics are over. As long as you are not a fool, you know what choice you should make at this time!

As for why Sebastian Coe took the initiative to oversee and rush the construction of the new Wembley Stadium, it was because the Baron felt that it was a bit unreasonable to not show anything after taking advantage of him. At the very least, you should do something for the other party to show your support!

Although these politicians are as thick-skinned as the ancient city walls, they still understand the principle of equivalent exchange. Not to mention, the boss behind Trafalgar is George Nelson, who has great energy all over the world, and they naturally have to find a way to give each other a certain degree of return!

Now for the main business. After winning the right to build and operate the London Olympic Games and preliminarily finalizing the construction plan, the Tottenham players who participated for the country also returned to London from the national team and began to prepare for the next games!

Soon, the time came on September 10, and the Tottenham players welcomed their opponents in the fifth round of the English Premier League - the "Reds" Liverpool team led by Benitez at White Hart Lane!

Although the overall strength of the Red Army has not declined significantly compared with the previous life, due to George's relationship, Liverpool in this life is far inferior to the previous life in terms of honor and attractiveness, and Benitez has also been questioned because he failed to lead the team to win the Big Ears Cup like in his previous life, and the team's soul Gerrard left Anfield this summer, which made the morale of the whole Red Army team extremely low. This can be seen from the fact that the Reds have only scored two points so far!

Although two of these league games were postponed for some reason, the opening two consecutive draws, against mid-table clubs such as Middlesbrough and Sunderland, still made Benitez's position a little shaky. Therefore, in order to keep his hard-won job, the Spanish coach can be said to be racking his brains to achieve the final victory in this clash with Tottenham!

However, the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny. Rafael Benitez managed to find some weaknesses in Tottenham's squad and use it for Luis Garcia to score a goal in the 58th minute, but it still couldn't make up for the huge gap in overall quality between the two teams – after veteran Larsson opened the scoring for Tottenham with a header from a corner kick from Xavi Alonso just eight minutes into the game!

With two goals in just five league games and a result with very limited playing time, Larsson's performances at Tottenham and his dedication to the game are enough to put his peers to shame.

Five minutes after Larsson's goal, Tottenham made a comeback. Alonso's pass found Lennon down the right, who used his speed to break through Volnock's defence and cross into a low cross that was lurking in the box before Larsson, who was ambushed in the box, leapt to the top of Carragher!

Although Reina subconsciously reached out to block the must-have goal and dragged Liverpool back from the edge of the cliff, but then when Gerrard, who inserted the attack, got the ball in the penalty area and shot five meters in front of the goal, the Spanish goalkeeper could only look at the ball and sigh!

Out of deep affection for Liverpool, Gerrard did not have any celebration after the goal, but Liverpool fans obviously will not let go of this former team spirit, and invariably booed Gerrard extremely strongly! In their eyes, Gerrard, who left Anfield during the team's difficult period, is a complete traitor and Judas, just like Owen!

However, Liverpool fans forget that this is White Hart Lane, Tottenham's turf, not their Anfield. Therefore, their boos were quickly drowned out by the louder cheers of the Tottenham fans, and naturally it was impossible to have any effect on Gerrard!

Before Luis Garcia opened the scoring for Liverpool, the score on the big screen at White Hart Lane had already become 3-0 – and in the 46th minute, Larsson seized the opportunity of Carragher's mistake to turn Arshavin's cross into a goal!

Therefore, for Tottenham, Luis Garcia's goal actually did not cause any negative impact at all, but instead reinvigorated them who had been slackened - if they were overturned by the Reds in the good situation of leading by three goals, then they would definitely be nailed to the post of shame by the media and fans like AC Milan after the game!

In this way, when referee Howard Webb blew the whistle for the end of the game, Tottenham Hotspur, playing at home, beat Liverpool 3-1 and continued to lead the league standings with a winning record. Liverpool, who lost this strong dialogue and played two games less, had to face the embarrassing situation of only two points in three games, and the team's ranking has fallen into the relegation zone!
