At around 5 p.m. on January 22, 2008, the streets adjacent to the White Hart Lane stadium were overrun by fans who had arrived from all directions.

In the second leg of the English League Cup semi-finals, Tottenham Hotspur hosted their rivals Arsenal.

This stadium is the famous "home of the devil" in the Premier League, and is considered to be the stadium that casts a spell on the visiting away stadium, because the Premier League giants rarely take advantage of it here.

Since the start of the Premier League in 1992, teams such as Liverpool and city rivals Arsenal have won few victories here, and Manchester United have been plagued by the "White Hart Lane curse" until April 2003, when they won a single victory here.

"The so-called curse is actually home advantage, the length and width of the White Hart Lane stadium is short, and the field space is insufficient, which is not conducive to the team with the ball play. Teams that play passing, such as Barcelona and Arsenal, have large pitches within the normal range, trying to tear up space, while teams that play counter-attacks tend to have smaller pitches, such as Stamford Bridge. ”

David Dunn smiled and explained to Andy, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the box and looking down on the entire court.

"Well, it seems that being the second smallest stadium in the Premier League has become an advantage, and I like the atmosphere, which is not weaker than the 80,000-strong New York Metropolitans. Especially in that area, oh my God, won't they get tired?"

Andy lamented the crazy atmosphere at White Hart Lane, and the fans didn't seem to stop singing, especially the location of the East Stand.

On the east stand there is a three-tiered fan stand that occupies the entire bottom line side, like a three-tiered birthday cake, standing full of people, and all the singing starts here.

'Those are Tottenham die-hards, almost everybody grew up there, like Legacy, they would bring their kids to watch the game and then teach them to sing the team song. ”

"It's the most beautiful picture on a football field!" said Andy, expressing his admiration for the loyalty of the fans.

"How big are our chances of winning this game?"

Hearing the boss's question, David Dunn also smiled a little helplessly: "It's not a big problem, in recent seasons, the League Cup has been a stage for Wenger to test substitutes and second-tier team members, and he doesn't pay much attention to it... ”

"I don't like to break the 'Gunners' curse that plagues Tottenham, and I hate it even more that Arsenal must be ranked higher than Tottenham!" Andy looked at David Dunn with burning eyes.

"Don't worry, boss, Heynckes and I will keep an eye on the rest of the league, and there will definitely be no capsizing!" David Dunn, who has been the manager of the Arsenal club for many years, is really familiar with his old club than anyone else, not to mention that he has cooperated with Wenger for many years, and in front of David Dunn, Arsenal actually has no secrets to speak of.

When night fell, the incomparably bright lights of the White Hart Lane Stadium illuminated, and the cheers of the fans resounded throughout White Hart Lane.

With the referee's whistle, Tottenham and Arsenal, the two rivals in the same city who have been hyped by the media, start a new battle.

On the big screen, Andy Smith appeared standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the box, and everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into cheers, after all, the American tycoon owner, since the acquisition of Tottenham, a series of practices have been welcomed by fans.

Don't blindly command, don't interfere with the operation of the club, and really leave professional things to professional people to do, especially a few decisions, which is simply a stroke of genius.

The original manager of the sworn enemy is now the manager of their club, the head of the famous coach, the reinforcement of the players, the introduction of superstars...

Hearing the cheers of the audience, Andy smiled and waved his hand, but soon the big screen and the attention of the fans were attracted by the game on the field.

Tottenham got off to a perfect start with the first shot on goal in the second minute!

Tottenham Hotspur backfield kicked the attack, the midfielder distributed the ball to the long-haired Xiao Luo, the two Arsenal guards next to him were not tight, and let Xiao Luo shoot outside the penalty area, but his ball hit the left post and rebounded into the net, 1-0!

As Xiao Luo ran and cheered in celebration, the White Hart Lane Stadium let out a buzzing deafening cheer, and Andy also raised his hands and clapped hard, "Perfect start!"

In the next game, Tottenham almost dominated Arsenal, in the 26th minute, Tottenham opened a set-piece near the midfield, and the Arsenal players who are good at heading accidentally put themselves in the oolong when they scramble, 2-0!

Cheers of celebration with laughter echoed through White Hart Lane, but three minutes later, a frightened Arsenal were almost knocked out of hell! The half-time score, 2-0, Tottenham dominated the field and also took the lead it deserved!

At the beginning of the second half, Arsenal threw themselves into the attack, but the Gunners were stabbed again three minutes after the kick-off! Lennon counter-attacked with a long pass to Keane on the right, who used his speed to get rid of the Arsenal player's defense and then pushed the goalkeeper to score, 3-0!

In the 60th minute, the White Hart Lane stadium once again turned into a sea of jubilation! Tottenham Hotspur made a series of passes, and finally Lennon lived up to expectations and volleyed from the right rib to rewrite the score to 4-0!

Seeing that the general situation was set, Heynckes hurriedly replaced his three big players, Rowe Jr., Keane and Bale, while protecting them, but also letting their three heroes accept the cheers of the fans.

In order to avoid the embarrassment of a bigger score, Wenger finally stopped pretending to be forced and replaced the main force of Xuezang, and in the 70th minute, Arsenal's three main first-team players made a wonderful cooperation, and the volley at the top of the arc of the penalty area scored a face-saving goal, 4-1!

In the following game, Tottenham still had a chance to expand the score, but it was all wasted, but Tottenham fans didn't care anymore, the victory song resounded in the White Hart Lane stadium, and the Spurs fans waited for 9 years for this victory!

Andy laughed with satisfaction, high-fived the team's management and the subordinates in the box, a big victory, and now just waiting for the whistle to blow and accept the cheers of the fans.

However, the game did not end there, in the 3rd minute of stoppage time, Tottenham made a long pass, the Tottenham youngster chased frantically, and the ball reached the person to push the empty goal, 5-1!

Arsenal suffered their biggest defeat of the season at White Hart Lane, knocking out the tournament 6-2 on aggregate, the Gunners' biggest defeat since a 6-1 defeat to Manchester United in February 2001.

Andy Smith's Tottenham won the hearts of all Tottenham fans through this game, and also became the most hated American by Arsenal fans.

Because after the game, Andy chartered a nightclub in London to let the players who were still excited relax and celebrate, with the consent of Coach Heynckes, of course.

The paparazzi all over London were collectively excited, trying every means to sneak into the chartered nightclub, after all, the big win just now has spread, and with the addition of Andy Smith, the super-rich owner, tonight's nightclub party may be more lively.

The happiest thing is naturally the nightclub ram Xiao Luo, this guy bared a pair of big teeth, hugged the waist of two hot beauties, and raised his head to drink the Ace of Spades champagne poured into his mouth.

Naturally, he was very happy, leaving Barcelona and joining Tottenham, many media said that he was in it for the pound, the women's nightclub had hollowed out his body and ball skills, and he was finished.

But although he slowly applied Tottenham, he began to show the style and edge of a superstar again, slapping the damn paparazzi in the face with one goal after another.

"Boss, why are you sitting alone?" Xiao Luo pushed away the two hot girls in his arms, took the golden bottle of Ace of Spades champagne from the woman's hand, sat down next to Andy with a big tooth smile, and asked in Portuguese.

Andy smiled and picked up the champagne glass and touched the bottle, and after taking a sip, he put his arm around Xiao Luo's shoulder and said in Portuguese: "I don't want to make the gossip headlines the next day, and... ”

Saying that, Andy raised his eyebrows, shrugged his shoulders and whispered, "I don't like it." ”

Xiao Luo couldn't help but smile ambiguously: "I called a few female stars to come over to play, how is Cheryl?"

Andy couldn't help but look at the dead rabbit Tooth Xiao Luo in surprise, and hurriedly whispered, "You guys have a tui with Cheryl?"

"Haha, how is it possible... Xiao Luo laughed twice, saw Andy's suspicious gaze, and said in a low embarrassed voice: "She's not interested in me, but recently she has had a cold war with her fan, and she often comes to nightclubs to play." ”

Andy's eyes flickered a few times, and finally said with a smile: "Then call a few more friends to celebrate, I'm a fan of Cheryl!"
