Although Bayern's senior management has always been not demanding of the team's results in the Champions Cup, and Hoeness even said that he can not care about the team's failure to win the Big Ears Cup for many years, but he will never tolerate the team losing the league title for two consecutive years, but this does not mean that Bayern management really does not care about the team's performance in the Champions League. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

For example, now, when Bayern, who fell into the group of death, announced that they would not qualify for the knockout round two rounds in the group stage, and could only compete with Ajax for third place in the group to secure a ticket to the League Cup, this result has actually made the Bayern senior management led by the "football emperor" Beckenbauer extremely dissatisfied - no matter how much they lower the requirements for European results, Bayern will be eliminated in the group stage of the Champions Cup, which is not acceptable to them!

Even Heathfield, who led Bayern to three consecutive Bundesliga titles, and helped the Bundesliga giants regain the Big Ears Cup after 25 years, was also criticized by fans and clubs when Bayern unexpectedly exited the first group stage of the Champions League in the 02-03 season, and finally left this summer.

Therefore, after seeing the team draw a goalless sheet against Tottenham Hotspur in the fifth round of Group C, and the difference was reduced to one point by Ajax, Beckenbauer could not sit still any longer. The day after the match, they sent Magath a very harshly worded notice. The meaning of this notice is very clear, that is, if Magath can't lead Bayern to keep a ticket to the UEFA Cup, then when the season is over, he can roll up and get out of the Olympic Stadium!

Although the likes of Beckenbauer and Hoeness were quite disappointed with Magath's coaching performance at Bayern, they did not shout for a change of manager because of the team's poor results in a short period of time, as the boss did, but gave Magath one last chance to prove himself. After all, Magath has been coaching Bayern for a short time, and he needs time to implement his tactical intentions when he is still in the run-in period with the team, so in the eyes of several bigwigs, it doesn't hurt to give Magath a chance to make amends.

Of course, Beckenbauer's other reason why they didn't fire Magath immediately was because of the stability of the team's locker room. Moreover, they really can't find a manager who meets the requirements to take over this mess - the head coach who has both ability and reputation is unwilling to come, and they don't look down on Beckenbauer who is willing to come. And this is precisely the most embarrassing problem that Bayern is facing now!

While Magath was behind closed doors, struggling to figure out the life-and-death battle with Ajax, Tottenham Hotspur, who had returned to London from Munich, had a brief break to play in the 15th round of the Premier League this weekend. This time, Tottenham's opponent is none other than their old acquaintance, Middlesbrough, who were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by them just half a month ago!

For this contest, the mentality of the two managers can be said to be completely different. Having learned the lesson of the game against Aston Villa, George is relaxed and cautious enough, that is, the so-called "strategically defying the enemy, tactically valuing the enemy", while McLaren has a sad face, which seems to give people a sense of lack of confidence!

It's no surprise that McLaren would put on such a demoralizing face at this time. You know, when the two teams met in the Carabao Cup before, Middlesbrough, who played almost all the main team, lost to Tottenham Hotspur at their home stadium. Therefore, this time against Tottenham Hotspur, McClaren, whose psychological shadow has not been completely removed, is naturally difficult to muster the courage to challenge the home team.

Not to mention, George also added Drogba, who missed the midweek Champions Cup tie due to a cumulative yellow card suspension, to the starting line-up. This news undoubtedly further increased McClaren's nervousness, making him as restless as a frightened bird before the game started - Tottenham, who did not play Drogba, had finished Middlesbrough, who were playing at the time, with three strikes and five divisions, and now that the opponent sent this striker killer, how could they have a chance to win?

The impact of McLaren's words and actions on the players under him is clear. The Middlesbrough players saw that even the manager was so unconfident in this game, and even panicked to the point of being at a loss, they naturally couldn't muster up the energy to deal with Tottenham, and directly stepped onto the lawn of White Hart Lane with a business-like attitude.

Facing the defeat of Middlesbrough's demoralized men, Tottenham, who were desperately looking for a win after two consecutive draws, naturally couldn't take the reason. The Ivory Coast Monsters, who have been in excellent form since scoring a hat-trick in the north London derby, showed their strength in this game, scoring a goal in each half with an overhead kick to help Tottenham beat Middlesbrough 2-0, successfully won all three points at home, and extended the team's unbeaten run in the league to 30 games!

However, to the disappointment of Tottenham fans, Chelsea also picked up a win in this round. Jose Mourinho's side thrashed Charlton Athletic 4-0 at The Valley to continue their three-point run against Tottenham at the top of the table!

On December 2, the quarter-finals of the League Cup started as scheduled, and the Tottenham players came to Anfield after a four-day break to prepare to compete with Liverpool for a place in the last four of the League Cup!

As George had previously decided to use the Carabao Cup and FA Cup as a training ground for substitutes and young players, even if it was a strong dialogue with Liverpool, he had no intention of changing his mind and was determined to send a full bench to challenge the Reds with the main players!

Facing Liverpool, who were clearly superior, the Tottenham players did not choose to surrender early and concede defeat, but tried very hard to win at Anfield. Even though Liverpool took the lead twice in the game through goals from Robbie Keane and Reese, Tottenham did not give up the game, but were extremely tenacious under Mendieta's organization to equalize the score twice, and kept the score 2-2 until the 92nd minute!

However, just when it was thought the game was going to end in a draw, Steven Gerrard stepped up in stoppage time. After receiving Colwill's return pass, the captain of the Reds, who stepped forward to the top of the arc of the penalty area, did not stop the ball and directly hit a powerful volley, with a shot with a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour, he blasted away Casey Keller's ten fingers, and beat Tottenham at the last minute to help Liverpool advance to the League Cup semi-finals!

In this way, Tottenham was finally eliminated from the League Cup by Liverpool with a score of 2-3. And this is also the first defeat that Tottenham has suffered in all official matches since the start of this season!
