Chapter 503: This is a battle of luck (10th monthly pass, 1500 supplements, monthly pass)

Petrov midfield organization.

Clement will take on more of the playmaking responsibilities in midfield.

Gareth. Bale and Milner continued to combine on the left.

With Deisler on the right flank, he alone on his flank, is a threat not to be underestimated.

Up front are the experienced veteran Ruud van Nistelrooy and the blazingly fast Abang Lajo.

This is almost the strongest lineup that Fang Jue can come up with at the moment.

He wants to see how his new formation can perform against a team of Tottenham's calibre.

Tottenham Hotspur, nicknamed 'White Lily', is not the traditional BIG4 of the league, but it is a traditional powerhouse, very strong, but not so strong that it is extraordinary.

From the starting line-up of Tottenham Hotspur, the basic judgment can be drawn that the old Redknapp's team will focus on attacking tactics in today's game.

And, in the coin guessing session, Aston Villa captain Petrov won against Tottenham Hotspur captain Ledley King.

Fang Jue felt that this was in the hands of old Redknapp.

Because, this will allow Tottenham Hotspur to get the kick-off.

They can take advantage of the first kick-off opportunity and take the lead.

……

And as Fang Jue expected, after the game began, Tottenham Hotspur took advantage of the opportunity to kick off first and launched a fierce attack on Aston Villa's goal.

Fang Jue had already planned this.

In the face of Tottenham Hotspur's opening attack, Aston Villa chose to avoid the limelight and took the initiative to retreat.

This only made Tottenham even more energetic.

The elder Redknapp sat in the dugout, his eyes fixed on the field.

From time to time, I exchanged a few words with the assistant next to me.

The anxiety in his heart is unknown to anyone.

Don't look at this as a coach who seems to be very rough, but, in fact, in the heart of old Redknapp, he is very ...... Superstition!

Even to the very, very serious level.

He didn't allow his assistants or staff to open the office door, he had to open it himself every day.

Not only that, but he would first rub the doorknob with his left hand with a solemn expression, and then open the door with his right hand.

During the competition, he wears socks that look similar in color but are different.

For example, if one sock is white, the other must be milky white, and you can't really see it if you don't look closely.

……

In fact, in football, there are a lot of superstitious people like the old Redknapp.

In some cases, it has even risen to the point of disgrace for the future of the whole team.

For example, John Terry used only one of the urinals to go to the toilet in the dressing room at Chelsea.

In the beginning, the lucky urinal he chose was often occupied first.

He would rather hold it and wait.

Later, he became the captain of Chelsea and became a big star.

The first thing to announce was that he was no longer allowed to occupy his urinal.

Bridge, in particular, relies on his good relationship with Terry, and often deliberately mischievously occupies Terry's urinal.

Terry jokingly threatened at the time that he was going to make Bridge pay.

"You took my urinal, be careful that I steal your urinal."

Bridge laughed and said, "You can move my urinal, you can take it away."

……

There is also a very famous example.

The feud between Argentina's two giants.

The home stadium of the Athletic team is called the Arena de Perón, better known as the Barrel Stadium because of its round-shaped shape.

It was here that the team won the first World Championship trophy in South American history, the Intercontinental Cup in 1967.

Next door to this stadium, the street is the stadium of another giant, Independiente Argentina, which is the "sworn enemy of the same road" of the Athletic team.

This relationship can be understood as Real Madrid and Barcelona on the streets of Alsina.

Let's get to the point.

The Athletic team quickly fell into inexplicable trouble after 1967.

From 1967 to 2001, it did not win any championships for 34 years, but the Independiente team next door frequently won the cup.

Then there were rumors that the Independiente fans had cursed Perón Presidential Stadium.

On a dark and windy night in 1967, they went to the home stadium of the athletic team and secretly buried 7 black cats under a certain goal.

The back-to-back defeats also convinced the club of the curse, and they were determined to find the dead bodies of these black cats and break the curse.

In the end, with the efforts of a group of witches, 6 were actually found, and one of them is said to have "escaped".

The coach then consults with the witch that he must find out all about it.

In the end, the team spent a lot of money, almost digging into the ground, and finally found the body of the last black cat.

And then...... The Athletic team won the league title immediately.

……

Not only abroad, but also at home, I am fascinated by this kind of thing.

In the Chinese Super League, a certain team made a big deal and invited 15 "immortals" to pray together, hoping to achieve good results in the next game of the same provincial team next door.

But do you think the other party is easy to bully?

After learning about this urgent news.

In the away fan viewing area, there was a spectator wearing a robe and holding a yellow talisman, which was still not a "mantra chanting practice".

In the end, with the blessing of the divine power of all parties, fifteen immortals fought against a Taoist priest, and the side with more people and more strength won, and their team won 2-1.

……

There is also a story that Chinese fans are familiar with.

In the 2004 Asian Cup, the Chinese team was held in China.

This is also the closest Chinese national team has won the championship in recent years.

For the head coach at the time, Alihan, he insisted that the team was able to go all the way because of the protection of the broken glass of the workers' stadium.

After qualifying from the group, the Chinese team welcomed its fierce rival Iraq, and there were many injuries in the team at that time.

On the training ground, Sun Jihai dedicated an outrageous shot that directly shattered the glass on the second floor of the room next to the training ground.

While everyone was dumbfounded by the shot, Alihan was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. Because according to him, in the Netherlands, breaking glass is a symbol of good luck.

Then, the Chinese team really eliminated Iraq.

After that, things were embarrassing, because since then, the Chinese team has trained every time I don't know if it's intentional, or if everyone's footwork is not good enough.

Kick and break a piece of glass every training session anyway.

That summer, the Chinese team also entered the final with divine help, but unfortunately lost to the Japanese team and was the runner-up.

In the end, news came out that before the match with Japan, seven pieces of glass should be broken at once and all the dragons should be collected in order to win the Japanese team.

It's a pity that only six pieces of glass were broken, so it's a little bit off.

Fang Jue heard about this story later, and he also thought it was amazing.

Because he was able to get the opportunity to coach Ibiza because it was a piece of glass that I don't know who broke it......

"It's amazing." He said.

……

Straight to the point.

Old Redknapp was superstitious.

He had heard that Fang Jue was a 'plague god', who was able to absorb the opponent's luck when he defeated an opponent who had good ball luck recently.

Old Redknapp panicked.

He pondered that there was only one way to avoid Tottenham's attack.

That was an away win at Aston Villa.

Not only that, but he also found a Korean priest to inquire about it, as long as he can win against Aston Villa, he can draw luck from the other party.

It's reliable!

So, now the old Redknapp is a little nervous.

This game has a lot at stake.

……

More than ten minutes after the start of the game, Tottenham Hotspur had a strong momentum.

They were almost pressing Aston Villa on the storm.

If it weren't for the outstanding performance of the 38-year-old goalkeeper Friedel, who started today, Aston Villa's goal would have been penetrated long ago.

Especially the England international Defoe, who played a 'slap trick' in the last game against Wigan Athletic.

The player who has been on a hot streak of late is full of motivation and fighting spirit and is desperate to prove to England manager Fabio Capello that he is one of the best strikers in England right now, and that he must be taken to the World Cup in South Africa.

He is very aggressive up front looking for opportunities.

The in-form goalscorer's activity has also put a lot of pressure on Aston Villa's defence.

Add to that the rest of Tottenham's players and they all seem to be in good form.

Aston Villa had to defend all over the field and stick to the box.

Just watch these ten minutes of play.

It's hard to imagine that Tottenham Hotspur are now being pressed against Aston Villa, who have won against Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea.

And watching Tottenham Hotspur besiege Aston Villa, Aston Villa couldn't even pass half time.

The old face of old Redknapp, who had been apprehensive, finally showed a smile on his face.

He suddenly had an illusion, it was not that Fang Jue was not plagued enough, it was because his old thunder was even more powerful.

The weeds overgrow the corn.

Is this game his old Ray's feast?

Seeing his team firmly in control of the game on the field, the more he thought about it, the more reliable he became!

It must be like this!

It's a battle of luck!
