Amid the passionate singing of the home fans, Nan Xiao and Pochettino shook hands for the first time ever; Pochettino, born in Murphy, Argentina, is 44 years old, and the 'young coach' led Tottenham to a third-place finish last season and qualified directly for the European Champions League. Under the gaze of the camera, Pochettino whispered a few words in Nan Xiao's ear with a smile on his face, after which the two returned to their respective team's benches; What exactly Pochettino and Nan Xiao said, perhaps only the two of them know; Could it be the classic line that Duncan said to James back then: The future is yours.

"Tottenham Hotspur take on Black Cats Sunderland at White Hart Lane Stadium and I would like to introduce the starting line-up for the game to the crowd ahead of the game. First of all, Tottenham Hotspur presented a 4231 formation in this game, the goalkeeper position is French international Lloris, and the back line from left to right is Danny Rose, Vertonghen, Alderweireld and Kyle Walker; The double midfielder is Awan Yama, a new signing brought in from Southampton to partner Dier, from left to right, Eriksen, De La Ali and Argentina international Lamela, and England's popular fried chicken Harry Kane in the attack. The visiting team Sunderland is in a 4411 formation, the goalkeeper is No. 1 Mannone, the center-back combination is Kolo Toure and Kirchhoff, the left back is still Dutchman Van Aanholt, and the right back is Billy Jones; The four midfielders from left to right are Dokar, Rodwell, Jedinak and Murphy, with No.18 Defoe at the top and Brazilian Carlos lurking behind him. ”

"Coach Zhan, what do you think of the starting lineups of both teams?" You Lu's work as a commentator is getting better.

'Tottenham have basically followed last season's line-up, only replacing Dembele with Wanyama, and obviously Pochettino has a very high level of confidence in his players; Sunderland, on the other hand, put out a formation that had never been used in pre-season, and at the same time put Halilovich, who had an eye-catching performance in pre-season, on the bench, which was obviously a targeted tactic specially formulated for today's opponent after a long period of deliberation before the game. ”

"Do you think today's game will be one-sided?"

"Well, it's hard to say......"

changed his usual style before, after the game started, Nan Xiao did not stand on the sidelines, but sat in the coach's box, talking and laughing with Bracewell beside him, looking extremely relaxed.

"You don't have to have any baggage in this game, whatever the result is, we can accept it, you just have to play at the level you deserve." This is what Nan Xiao said to the players before the game.

After a fast-paced start, Tottenham gradually slowed down the pace of attack, and Sunderland, despite the noise in front of goal, finally withstood Tottenham's three-board axe at the beginning and dragged the game into a regular rhythm.

The fifteen-minute onslaught didn't produce the desired result, and the Spurs players were a little depressed, while Sunderland's players looked more confident. In the 29th minute of the game, Eriksen received a pass from his teammates on the left side of the front field and was about to divide the ball, only to see the Sunderland team's defensive defender Jedinak had posted it at the first time, Eriksen saw the situation and turned around, wanting to get rid of the opponent's pressing, but unexpectedly Sunderland's Murphy suddenly appeared behind him and worked with Jedinak to cut the ball away from his feet; At this time, Tottenham's formation was under a lot of forward pressure, and there was a large emptiness at the back, and the team's left-back Danny Rose also assisted in the front field at the moment, leaving only two central defenders and defender Wanyama in the backfield.

Jedinak cut off the ball and crossed to the unguarded Rodwell for the first time, at which time Murphy cut in at high speed on the right, Defoe and Carlos also ambushed the two central defenders, Rodwell had many options at this time, but he did not make a rash choice, but strictly followed the coach's instructions to transfer the ball to Dokar on the left, and the facts proved that his choice was not wrong.

After receiving the ball, Dokal didn't make too many adjustments, and a scalpel-like straight shot was inserted into Tottenham's ribs, and Carlos also swooped out of Alderweireld's side with understanding, relying on the speed advantage to throw away the opponent.

"Sunderland's one-on-one chance! Carlos continued to dribble the ball and lob in the face of the onrushing Lloris!! ”

I saw the ball go around Lori's fingertips, and then ...... Hit the beam hard!

The ball bounced high and landed in the six-yard box, and Carlos and Lloris moved to the spot at the same time!

"Rushing into the goalkeeper, Carlos knocked him down in the six-yard box after Lloris got the ball!" Zhan Jun's voice returned to calm.

"Tottenham escaped." You Lu said excitedly.

"Sunderland's counterattack was like a sword unsheathed, and it really made Pochettino break out."

Carlos missed the great opportunity to hold his head and regret it, but Nan Xiao, who was standing on the sidelines at some point, applauded his performance.

There were no obvious scoring chances between the two sides before half-time, but Eriksen seemed to have lost confidence and made frequent mistakes in the face of Jedinak's pressing, but fortunately, Tottenham began to pay attention to the opponent's quick counter-attack, and there were no serious consequences.

"Oh? Tottenham made a personnel change at the start of the second half, replacing Danish star Christian Eriksen, who had a poor first half, with South Korean king Son Heung-min. ”

As expected, Nan Xiao, who is now in the command area, thought in his heart that Pochettino really made a quick decision and replaced Eriksen, who was limited by us, at the beginning of the second half; Thankfully, I had the players in the dressing room and I would have suffered a big loss.

After the personnel change, Tottenham Hotspur still controlled the rhythm of the game, but despite the overall dominance of the field, he was always blocked on the last pass, and Kane in the penalty area could not touch the ball for a long time, so he had no choice but to retreat frequently to get the ball, doing the work he was not good at.

With 70 minutes on, the tempo of the game had slowed completely, and Tottenham had tried a number of long-range shots from outside the box by De La Ali and Lamela, but they did not pose a real threat to Sunderland goalkeeper Mannone.

In the 75th minute of the game, the Sunderland team made personnel adjustments, and the 35-year-old veteran Colo Toure, who had reached the limit of his physical strength, was replaced by Koné, and Toure, who walked to the sidelines, high-fived coach Nan Xiao and sat back on the bench; At the same time, Tottenham Hotspur also used a second substitution, with Belgian star Dembele replacing Wanyama, who is known for his defense; Pochettino's intentions are clear, continue to attack, he must not be satisfied with the current scoreline!

In the last ten minutes of the game, Nan Xiao's team contracted their defense with all their might, and even Defoe often appeared at the front of the team's big penalty area; In the face of Sunderland's iron bucket formation, Tottenham had no possibility of penetrating in, so they had to continue to try to shoot from distance at the edge of the penalty area, and the crosses from the side were also cleared by Sunderland's two tall central defenders.

'At full-time, Tottenham were held to a stubborn draw at home by Sunderland, and the two sides drew a point each in the opening game of the new season.

The battle at White Hart Lane was finally over, and in the post-match press conference, Pochettino made no secret of his anger at Nan Xiao, claiming that it was an extremely obscene game, and blindly reinforcing the defense made the game lose the passion it should have, and Nan Xiao only had one sentence to evaluate the game.

"In my opinion, we have won the match."
