Chapter 209: Tottenham Storm

Tottenham, who were in the group of death, sealed their qualification two rounds early, a result that surprised countless experts. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Although Tottenham Hotspur has been extremely strong this season, winning all three games in the Champions League, many people are still lucky, thinking that Ajax, who are at the bottom of the group, can successfully stop Tottenham in this fourth round of group stage, so as to win a chance for Bayern and Juventus to qualify together.

However, it turns out that these people are nothing more than wishful thinking. In this round of the game, Tottenham did not give other opponents room to maneuver at all, and directly defeated Ajax with a 4-2 victory, and got a ticket to the quarterfinals of the Champions Cup two rounds in advance!

If someone dares to say that Tottenham can qualify for the Champions League two rounds early at the end of the Champions League group draw, then he will definitely attract the ridicule of others who think that he is daydreaming - Tottenham's strength is indeed not bad, otherwise it will not be able to beat the rising Chelsea and traditional giants such as Manchester United and Liverpool to finish second in the Premier League last season, but the problem is that Tottenham are in the same group as Juventus and Bayern, the two top giants, as well as Zeman's Ajax! The presence of these teams is enough to make Tottenham's path to promotion this season bleak!

Therefore, when this daydream really became a reality, Tottenham fans naturally fell into extreme joy!

"To be honest, we were all desperate when UEFA announced the results of the group draw. Because Juventus and Bayern Munich are too strong, Ajax is also not weak. So, when we saw Tottenham become the first team in the Group of Death to qualify from the group, we were so excited that we couldn't describe it in words. During a random interview with a reporter from The Times, a Tottenham fan spoke to everyone: "I want to thank Mr Nelson in particular. Without him, Tottenham would not have been able to reach where they are now!"

Suffice it to say, with Tottenham coming out of the group of death and leading the league table, George's popularity among Tottenham fans has been swept to unprecedented heights. And Tottenham, which has repeatedly refreshed people's cognition with practical actions, has also quietly blown a white storm in European football with its excellent results!

Tottenham Hotspur locked a place in the round of 16 of the Champions Cup two rounds in advance, which means that Bayern Munich, which has only three wins and three losses in four games in the group stage, has been kicked off the cliff by Tottenham and Juventus at this time!

Exiting the Champions Cup group stage twice in three years is obviously an absolutely unacceptable result for Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga hegemon. Therefore, during this period of time, Magath as the coach of Bayern has naturally been questioned, and many fans have even put up banners, hoping that Bayern's senior management can invite Heathfield back to coach the team - although Heathfield's last two seasons in charge of Bayern have been quite dismal, but at least this meritorious coach has led Bayern to another peak in the club's history, and the coaching experience and the level of leadership are the best choice.

The most important thing is that after witnessing Magath's poor performance in the Champions League this season, those Bayern fans who had insisted on Heathfield's resignation finally recognized the fact that the team's poor results in those two years were not Heathfield's problem, but the untimely change of the team's main players after aging.

However, even if Bayern want to make amends, it may be unrealistic to squeeze Juventus out of Juventus at the last minute to get the remaining ticket to the round of 16. Not only because Juventus are already six points ahead of them and only need one more point to secure qualification, but also because at this time, their two direct meetings with the Bianconeri have come to an end!

You know, in these two meetings with Juventus, Bayern's results are both defeats. According to the ranking rules of the Champions Cup group stage teams with the same score first according to the merits of each other's records, even if Bayern, who are six points behind, win all the last two rounds of the group stage, and Juventus lose two games, the Bundesliga giants will not be able to be in front of the Bianconeri in the standings!

Therefore, if Magath wants to continue to coach at Bayern, instead of being sacked in the middle of the season and becoming a short-lived ghost like Rehhagel, then he must perform well in the last two rounds of the group stage, lead the team to a ticket to the UEFA Cup, and go hand in hand in the Bundesliga and UEFA Cup, preferably with both trophies!

Leaving Bayern's situation at this point for now, now turn their attention back to Tottenham. Although the Tottenham players were given only two days off after the game against Ajax, this was not a problem for Tottenham, who had a deep bench. Of course, the main reason for this description is that Tottenham will face Charlton Athletic in London this weekend - if Tottenham face an opponent of the caliber of Arsenal or Chelsea next, then Tottenham will face a tough battle against Ajax.

Because of the previous lessons of financial crisis that led to almost bankruptcy, Charlton Athletic has always adhered to the principle of living within its means after returning to the Premier League. However, while strict adherence to this principle has allowed Charlton to become one of the best financially positioned clubs in England, it has also left Charlton in the middle of the table and unable to progress further in their achievements.

In addition, although the summer brought in strong reinforcements such as Danny Murphy and Francis Jeffries, and the team also has a number of powerful players such as Kirischev, Koncheski, Luke Young, etc., but because of its main striker, Italian veteran Di Canio, who resolutely returned to China this summer to help the troubled Lazio, Charlton's creativity and threat in the midfield have declined significantly compared with last season, and even the back line has begun to become unstable.

It was precisely because of Charlton's lack of strength in attack that he could only create scoring opportunities through long-range shots and long passes from Danny Murphy and others, that Tottenham was able to rotate most of the starting lineup and still be able to suppress the opponent at both ends of the attack and defense, and Villa scored the only goal of the game in the 46th minute!

And just like that, when the game ended at the whistle of referee Graham Bol, the home Spurs defeated visiting Charlton Athletic 1-0 at White Hart Lane, claiming their 11th league win of the season and extending their unbeaten run in the league to 27 games!
