Chapter 271: Before the Semifinals

Tottenham thrashed Arsenal 4-0 in their second north London derby of the season, a result that surprised everyone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info You must know that although Arsenal has many big players such as Thierry Henry and Ljungberg absent in this game, and since George's coaching, Tottenham has always had the best record with Arsenal, but Tottenham also hid a number of main players including Ridley King, Xavi Alonso and Mascherano in this game, and their combat effectiveness has also been affected. Therefore, Arsene Wenger's statement in the post-match press conference that Arsenal lost this north London derby because of the absence of Thierry Henry and other key players is really unconvincing in the eyes of most people!

There are also main players missing, and even Tottenham sent more substitutes than Arsenal in this game, why did the final result be a four-goal victory over Tottenham Hotspur who played away from home and sent most of the main Arsenal? Could it be that Vermaelen and Dawson, two guys who can only play as substitute central defenders at Tottenham, are better than Pire, Van Persie and Reyes in terms of personal ability?

So, if Arsene Wenger is going to blame the cause of his team's defeat, then the professor would do well to find a way to come up with a reasonable explanation first.

It is for this reason that after the game, Arsenal fans, who were extremely dissatisfied with the team's defeat in the north London derby, frantically surrounded the players and Gunners in front of the Kearney training base and Arsenal headquarters to express their anger!

Predictably, unless Arsene Wenger can lead the team back to the field in the north London derby in the future, this fiasco will be a lingering shadow in the hearts of Arsenal for a long time to come. Even if Arsene Wenger is capable of leading Arsenal to FA Cup glory at the end of the season, it won't make any difference to the current situation!

However, with Arsene Wenger's business philosophy and Arsenal's worse financial situation than in previous lives, the Gunners will have to wait for time to fade into oblivion if they want to shake off the shadow of this fiasco.

Arsenal will be here for now, and now let's get down to business. Although the win over Arsenal at Highbury Stadium was a shot in the arm for Tottenham players and cheering for Tottenham fans, the victory did not give Tottenham back the top spot – Chelsea at Stamford Bridge beat Fulham 3-1 in an earlier game to continue to lead the table by two points!

Clearly, against Chelsea, who have been eliminated from the Champions League and FA Cup and now focused on the league, Tottenham have little hope of reclaiming the initiative in the Premier League title race from the Blues. After realizing that the possibility of winning the league has become very small, the whole Tottenham team, which was still a little hesitant, completely unified their thinking this time and decided to strategically abandon the league and devote their main energy to the Champions Cup and FA Cup, which are more promising to win the championship trophy!

Of course, achieving this goal is not easy. Although they will face Tottenham in the semi-finals of the Champions League against Juventus, those who know a little bit about football know how difficult it is for the Bianconeri to reach the knockout stages. Especially with the famous gold medal coach Capello coached, Juventus's difficulty can be said to have risen several notches!

Even the Chelsea side that beat Barcelona were hated by Juventus, and George didn't dare to say that he would be able to knock out the old Bianconeri to advance to the Champions League final, and lift the Big Ears Cup, the highest honor for European clubs, after the final!

The day after the North London derby, after a day of training, George returned to Layton Manor in Boyd, preparing to spend the night with Elizabeth, who was staying here, but he didn't want to receive a surprise news that Sebastian Coe had come to visit!

"Monsieur Baron, what is the wind that has brought you to me?" George was stunned for a moment when he learned that it was Baron Sebastian Coe who had come to visit him, and then he quickly got up and changed his clothes and went to the door to greet the unexpected visitor. After all, the other party is not only the chairman of the organizing committee for London's bid to host the 2012 Olympic Games, but also has the title of baron, a lifelong nobleman. Moreover, he is enthusiastic about politics and has a lot of influence in all walks of life in Britain, so George cannot afford not to be cautious.

"Viscount Nelson, I'm so sorry. We hope that you will forgive me for visiting without prior notice. Seeing that George actually came out to greet him in person, Sebastian Coe quickly apologized to George. After all, it is indeed very rude to visit someone's home without prior notice.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that there were 100,000 urgent things to discuss with George, Sebastian Coe, who has always attached great importance to the building of his own image, would not have made such a rude move.

"Haha, it's okay. George waved his hand and signaled to the other party that he didn't care, "I think you must have something very urgent, Baron, so you came to me at this time." But I'm curious what is it that reminds you, Monsieur Baron, of me?"

Although George was indeed very dissatisfied with Sebastian Coe's sudden visit at this time, it was the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling man. Now that the other party has apologized to him, it is not good for George to continue the seizure.

"Viscount Nelson, I would like to know what you think of London's bid for the Olympics?" Sebastian Coe did not immediately get to the point, but brought up a topic that had little to do with George.

"I think London's bid for the Olympics is a very good thing. It can not only show the British style to the world and increase the influence of the United Kingdom in the world, but also greatly promote the economic development of the entire Greater London metropolitan area. Unfortunately, London has participated in the last few bids for the Olympics, but it has not been able to have the last laugh. Realizing that the other party was testing his attitude towards London's bid for the Olympics, George said while his mind was racing, "What? Could it be that this time, we finally have a chance to win the Olympic Games?"

"That's right, judging from the current situation, we have a good chance of winning this time. New York and Moscow are just here to join in the fun, while Madrid is considered to be under-security because of last year's bombings, and only Paris has the potential to snatch the right to host the event from us. Seeing George's supportive attitude, Sebastian Coe's heart relaxed slightly, and he concisely introduced the current situation of the Olympic bid to George in a tone full of expectations, "Although the plan we submitted is slightly better than that of the French, and the previous inspection of the Olympic Committee members also gave us a very high evaluation, the problem is that in order to fully realize this plan, at least 10 billion pounds of money will be invested." But we can't find a funder willing to provide such a large sum of money to make our proposal more viable......"

Hearing Sebastian Coe's words, George understood. It turned out that the chairman of the London Olympic Bid Organizing Committee made a special trip to Boyd Layton Manor in the middle of the night to persuade himself to contribute to the financing and provide the liquidity needed for the preparation of the London Olympics after they won the right to host the 2012 Olympic Games!
