Chapter 59: I Don't Want to See That Bird!
Christmas is coming in the West, which bathes London, England in a jubilant atmosphere.
And on the second day of Christmas, December 26, the Premier League ushered in the 18th round of matches.
Tottenham are at home to Norwich.
This match has been a long time coming for Tottenham fans.
After the wave of injuries, the return of the main players, the whole Tottenham once again showed that terrifying dominance.
In the first half, Tottenham had already scored four goals, each led by Harry Hotspur. Kane and Son Heung-min each scored two grains.
In this game, Norwich's right side was almost burst into a sieve.
Son Heung-min was on fire and broke through frantically on the right flank.
Running Son Heung-min is happy!
He likes it.
The game was broadcast live to the distant Korean Peninsula, and South Korean fans saw Son Heung-min, which was similar to the restrained Son Heung-min in the Asian Cup.
In the end, they put the blame on the midfielder.
One is an Asian midfielder!
The other is Europe's top talented midfielder!
Can this special stat bonus be the same?
It seems that it was not Son Heung-min who had problems during that time, but the entire South Korean team that couldn't keep up with Son Heung-min's rhythm.
Because of Son Heung-min's relationship with Yile, Yile also has a certain reputation among Korean fans.
In particular, Yile's performance in Tottenham is getting better and better, and it has even been continuously praised by the European media, so it can be said that Yile's fame in Europe is something that Son Xingmin can't compete with.
When the South Korean commentator was commenting on the Tottenham game, every time Yi Le held the ball, he would give Yi Le the title of 'Son Heung-min's friend'.
In Asia, Yi Le and Sun Xingmin are even called 'Asian twin stars'.
After all, one is the Premier League assist king!
The other is the fourth highest scorer in the Premier League!
It can be said that these two people have made the world see different Asian players.
The 19th round of the Premier League came quickly, with only two days in between.
The match is Watford vs Tottenham.
It was another game without any suspense, and Tottenham once again won with a crushing attitude.
Through this game, the Watford players were even more afraid of this demon.
The Chinese kicked Watford in the Championship last year!
And this year, this guy has become even more terrifying, and the teammates around him are even more powerful.
Against such Tottenham, Watford's chances of winning are almost nil.
After the end of the 19th round of the Premier League, the season has also passed halfway.
Tottenham fans were pleasantly surprised.
They played a full 19 rounds of competition, and their record was gorgeous.
16 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses!
With 49 points, Tottenham remain top of the Premier League.
They are half-way champions!
It is followed by Leicester City, which is in second place with 15 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses and 47 points.
Third place goes to Arsenal.
Arsenal did not sink in the carnage of the 'North London Derby', but went from strength to strength, winning all the way, but they are some distance away from Tottenham and Leicester City.
And this also made Ascension fans indignant.
They used to bully Tottenham, but when did these white lilies actually ride on their heads?
Fourth place is Manchester City.
As for the other big guys.
Manchester United are in sixth place.
Liverpool has not been able to adjust their form and rank 10th after the change of manager.
Chelsea, on the other hand, suffered a league waterloo and seemed to have put so much effort into the Champions League that their league record was terrible.
Now, they are in an awkward position of 15th in the league, which is obviously a failing result for a giant team.
But Chelsea can't help it.
Now it is obviously impossible to chase back the scores, so I can only give up the league and focus on the Champions League, hoping to get good results to soothe the mood of the fans.
......
In the Europa League, the group stage has ended.
Tottenham played strongly in Group J with a good performance.
Winning all six games to advance, the scary thing is the data they handed over.
In six games, they have scored 15 goals while conceding just two.
Runners-up in the group went to Anderlecht, who qualified alongside Tottenham.
The qualifiers for the entire UEFA group stage are:
Group A: Molde, Fenerbahce.
Group B: Liverpool, Sion.
Group C: Krasnodar, Borussia Dortmund.
Group D: Napoli, Midtjylland.
Group E: Rapid Vienna, Villarreal.
Group F: Braga, Marseille.
Group G: Lazio, Saint-Etienne.
Group H: Lokomotiv Moscow, Sporting Lisbon.
Group I: Basel, Fiorentina.
Group J: Tottenham Hotspur, Anderlecht.
Group K: Schalke 04, Spartak Prague.
Group L: Athletic Bilbao, Augsburg.
The above 24 teams will compete with the eight teams eliminated from the Champions League group stage in the round of 32.
......
On December 30, the draw for the round of 32 of the Europa League began.
On this day, all the teams gathered in front of the TV to watch the draw ceremony.
For most teams, the Europa League was not too bad.
There are only two teams to watch out for!
One is Sevilla!
This team is a BUFF commission in the Europa League, playing in the Europa League as fiercely as a tiger, and has won the Europa League for two consecutive times.
They don't want to be a stepping stone for this team to qualify.
The other team is Tottenham Hotspur!
This team is even more terrifying than Sevilla!
Their dominance in the league and their form in the Europa League group stage have been insane!
Group J runner-up Anderlecht made a rare statement through the media after being frantically trained by Tottenham:
"Just kidding! Are you sure this team is coming to the Europa League, not the Champions League? ”
You can experience the strength of Tottenham, which is an opponent that all teams who are second in the group do not want to face.
And two hours before the start of the draw, the head coach of Serie A Fiorentina - Vincenzo. Montella even posted a story through the Internet.
'Please! I don't want to see that bird! ’
Seeing this news, the Italian media couldn't help but laugh, and there are many teams that use 'bird' as their emblem in football clubs, but the most famous is undoubtedly Tottenham Hotspur in White Hart Lane.
Perhaps it was the manager's reaction that poisoned the girl, and Fiorentina drew the 'bird' that scared Montella in the seventh round draw.
Europa League round of 32 leg, Tottenham vs Fiorentina!
Sevilla, on the other hand, were swept away by Molde.
The two powerhouses were divided in succession, which made the psychological pressure on the other teams slightly less.
Soon the draw ceremony was over.
And in the British Peninsula, in the London SAR, Tottenham Hotspur training centre.
Boas got up and turned off the TV, clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and said: "Okay, the next round of opponents is out, the coaching staff will work out the tactics, but before that, we need to play another game." ”
"Elkeson stays, and the others can leave first."
The players left, leaving Elkeson and Villas-Boas alone.
Looking at Elkeson, who was sitting below and a little at a loss, Boas said lightly: "FA Cup, Elkeson, you come to start." ”
Elkeson raised his head in slight surprise and subconsciously asked, "So easy?" ”
Boas Road; "Yi mainly participates in the Europa League and league competitions, and if he takes care of the FA Cup, I am afraid that his physical strength will not be able to keep up."
With Tottenham now as the engine of Tottenham, he needs to play the full 90 minutes of every game.
In the three-line battle, Yile served as the starter and played the whole game, which is simply impossible.
Unless, Boas wants to lose all the games.
Elkeson was in a bitter mood, it turned out to be a replacement.
Although this was expected, it was still a bit of a loss to be recognized by Boas.
But Elkeson also understands that Tottenham today is indeed inseparable from Yile.
I saw him grit his teeth, get up suddenly, and say loudly: "Boss, I also want to play in the league!" ”
Without waiting for Boas to speak, Elkeson shouted again: "I am willing to give up the core position, I can go and play in the midfield!" ”
Boas raised his eyebrows slightly, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Are you sure?" ”
Elkeson nodded and said solemnly: "In training, I will cooperate with Yi, and I will let you see my attitude." ”
