Tottenham Hotspur are temporarily top of the table after a big win over Charlton Athletic.

However, after the match between Leeds United and Liverpool, Tottenham removed the "temporary" and officially dominated the top of the standings.

Liverpool drew 2-2 with Blackburn, while Leeds simply lost 1-0 to Black Cat Sunderland.

It also made Tottenham the only team in the Premier League to win three in a row in the 02-03 season.

Most of the media praised Tottenham, believing that it was manager Childson Hoddle's good use of people that allowed this not-so-strong Tottenham squad to perform so well.

As for the reason for Hoddle's good use, it is naturally Chen Xi, who has scored two goals in three rounds of games in his debut season and received a terrifying seven assists.

This Chinese young man, who had not received any professional football training before and had been playing rugby, was actually signed by Tottenham Hotspur and quickly promoted to the first team to play the main team. In the eyes of the media, this does require Hoddle to have extraordinary courage and compare this to his brave move to bring Michael Owen to France in '98, who was not yet 19 years old, and believes that Hoddle has always had a tradition of promoting young players.

For the praise of the outside world, Hoddle gladly accepted it. He had obviously forgotten how many times he had ignored Chris's recommendation to Chen Xi in the first place.

Of course, as is customary, when most of the media are one-sided, there will always be some media outlets that stand up and speak out to show that they are different.

This time, it was The Sun who came forward, and they said that Tottenham's rise to the top of the league table had a certain fortuitous surname. Because in the first three rounds, their opponents were not strong. At the same time, they also targeted Tottenham Hotspur manager Childcare Hoddle and Chen Xi, who has been on fire recently.

Howard, the editor-in-chief of The Sun's sports column, bluntly said that Hoddle may have been a great player, but he was definitely not a great manager. In his opinion, Hoddle's tactics are very simple, purely relying on the individual ability of the players to win so many games in a row. And Tottenham's poor defence has also exposed a lot of problems. They conceded goals in the first three games, and in the first two games, they won the game purely by scoring more goals than their opponents. And if Tottenham's attack is frozen, they are not far from losing.

For Chen Xi, Howard still affirmed his talent. It's just that, in Howard's view, there are many talented players in England who have been praised in recent years, but the real "success rate" is not very high. And he believes that the reason why Chen Xi "brushed" such good data in the first three games is purely because other teams don't know him well enough, and once he is thoroughly studied, I am afraid he will be reduced to mediocrity.

This remark is obviously Howard eye-catching for The Sun!

This is also the usual style of The Sun, who likes to use sensationalism to stimulate sales. In addition to using lace news and negative news to increase sales. Fighting with other media and even stars and coaches is also what they are keen on.

No, they just used Chen Xi's sturdy figure to take off his jersey after the game half a month ago to attract the attention of readers with female surnames, and now they immediately turn their faces to look at Chen Xi. This is also a reflection of The Sun's motto of putting sales first.

For the "prophecy" of "The Sun", Chen Xi did not use words to fight back, in his opinion, it will be more powerful to hit him with actions when the time comes!

Unlike Chen Xi's low-key handling, Hoddle has never been a master who is willing to suffer. He sarcastically mocked Howard like a shrew holding a pen, and when he saw who was doing better than him, he would wave the pen and splash ink on others!

At the same time, Hoddle also said that he would use his actions to shut up this guy!

Hoddle himself is one of Tottenham's most decorated players in Tottenham's history, and now that he has led the team to good results, it is natural that he can enjoy the support of the fans.

In addition, Howard also "cursed" Chen Xi, the player who has been most supported by Tottenham fans recently. The sports editor-in-chief of The Sun immediately became the guy everyone shouts and beats on the streets of North London.

And Chen Xi and Hoddle soon slapped Howard in the fourth round of the league.

Facing Southampton at home, Tottenham won the game 1-0 with Chen Xi's assist to Sheringham's goal. Tottenham's backline has also been a rare flawless, keeping a clean sheet for the first time in the league this season.

Although new signing Robbie Keane did not appear in this game, he made his official appearance at White Hart Lane before the game with the number 22 shirt, which also showed that he can join the team soon.

There was no need for Chen Xi and Hoddle to counterattack Howard after the game, the FA helped them to defeat Howard first. Because after the fourth round of the league, the two most important awards of the best in August announced by the FA were awarded to Hoddle and Chen Xi in the best of the month.

Win all four games, accumulate 12 points, and occupy the top position in the standings. It was the best start for Tottenham in almost three decades. Although Tottenham only played two Premier League games in August, the good form that has continued since September has clearly added a lot of impression points to them. As the coach of the team, Hoddle and the team's biggest contributor Chen Xi deserve to win this award.

Speaking after receiving the award, Hoddle said: "We got off to a good start and we had a good start thanks to the players and the coach. We've had a couple of new faces in the squad this season and I'm very happy with their performances, especially Edison, who surprised me and now we've got Robbie Keane and we're going to get stronger and stronger. Of course, the season has just begun, and there is still a long way to go. ”

Chen Xi won the best player in the first month of his first season in the professional league, and in an interview after receiving the award, his answer was also low-key and confident: "This award does not belong to me alone. If it wasn't for the coach who gave me the opportunity to play, and if it wasn't for the support of my teammates and fans, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to produce such good results. Of course, my career has just begun, and I am confident that I will receive more awards and accolades for myself and the team in the future! ”

Just was sprayed in the newspaper by Howard, and Hoddle and Chen Xi won the award. This made Tottenham fans addicted!

How long has it been since this kind of good thing happened to a Tottenham team that has been suffering from poor results all these years?

Fans seem to see that the new season of Tottenham is about to create a miracle under the leadership of these two!

However, in the face of such facts, Howard is still unrelenting.

In his latest column for The Sun, he once again stated that Tottenham's good results were only temporary because they had too many veterans and not enough depth on the bench. In the case of multi-front operations, the further back you go, the results of Tottenham Hotspur will inevitably collapse. He has attached a chart of Tottenham's standings from last season. The chart shows that Tottenham Hotspur has been stable in the top five in the league in the first half of the season, and even broke into the top three. However, in the second half of the season, there was a sudden drop, and in the end they only finished ninth.

Even, he also sarcastically ridiculed the reason why Tottenham Hotspur got that "unexpected" ticket to the League Cup qualifying round last season was purely because Tottenham Hotspur was like a group of girls playing football under the leadership of Hoddle, so they won the so-called fair play award!

Howard's remarks couldn't help but anger Tottenham players and fans, and at the same time caused serious protests from the British Fair Play Commission!

It's just that his report that he is not neutral, not objective, and tends to have a very obvious surname is still supported by many Tottenham rival fans. The Sun's sales have increased quite a bit this week. In this way, Howard's goal was achieved.

If you want to use me and our team as a stepping stone, you obviously chose the wrong person! Chen Xi took a copy of "The Sun" and thought disdainfully!
