A ray of sunlight in the early morning penetrated into Chen Xi's room through the crack in the curtain, and the mischievous sunlight shone ~ on Chen Xi's face.

was shot by Sunshine Yan~, and Chen Xi, who was fighting with a beautiful woman for 300 rounds in a dream, had to wake up helplessly. As soon as he woke up, Chen Xi felt sticky on his underwear.

Frolic! Actually dreamed ~ left? It seems that she was stimulated by Cheryl yesterday! Chen Xi patted his forehead depressedly, got up and prepared to wash his underwear.

Thinking of Cheryl's appearance with the surname yesterday, Comrade "Xiao Chen" was unruly stiff~ again.

"Don't worry, buddy! I'm not your previous master, follow me in the future to ensure that you eat and drink spicy food, at a critical time, you can fight for Lao Tzu yourself, don't disarm too early! You know? Feeling the dishonesty below, Chen Xi, who was rubbing his underwear, lowered his head and said to "Xiao Chen".

After speaking, Chen Xi controlled "Xiao Chen" with pleasure and "nodded" thoughtfully.

After washing his underwear and washing himself, Chen Xi used a simple homemade breakfast and went to training. There's still a league game to play at the weekend and the second leg of the second round of the League Cup in the middle of next week.

Next up is the north London derby against Arsenal. This game is not only a direct dialogue between Tottenham and Arsenal, two century-old rivals, to settle their grievances, but also about the ownership of the top of the league table, and may even determine the ownership of the championship at the end of the season!

Thinking of this game, Chen Xi remembered Ashley Cole yesterday, and he snatched his target, this guy must hate me, right? It's a pity that this guy is a left-back, not directly opposite himself, but if he has the opportunity, Chen Xi doesn't mind switching positions to meet England's No. 1 left-back!

Of course, Chen Xi knows that if he wants to snatch the league leader from the Arsenal team, he must first pass the Sunderland hurdle-

The Black Cats have had a terrible season, picking up just two wins so far this season and are in the relegation zone.

The reason for this situation is that the team's attack is not good, and so far in 12 rounds of the league, they have only scored a pitiful five goals.

With the aging of Irish goalscorer Quinn, Kevin Phillips' form has plummeted, and Norwegian high school striker Flo, who has been brought in as Quinn's successor, is also difficult to handle. This has left the "Black Cats" in a long scoring drought this season.

This kind of team that is not good at attacking is naturally Tottenham's favorite opponent!

In the thirteenth round of the league at the Stadium of Light, Tottenham Hotspur, who played their main game, had already taken a three-goal lead in the first half.

After Chen Xi once again contributed the data of one pass and one shot to help the team establish the victory, Chen Xi originally wanted to score another goal to surpass Henry in the scorer list, but Hoddle replaced Chen Xi after halftime.

The reason given by Hoddle is to prepare him for the second leg of the League Cup in midweek!

This made Chen Xi very depressed, and he didn't shoot when he went out for fun a few nights ago, but he returned home and shot himself in his dream. No, I thought I had enough shots in the game, but I was replaced by Hoddle.

What the is this called~? Isn't it written in the yellow calendar that everything is inappropriate recently? took the sports coat handed to him by Coach Chris and put it directly on his head. Chen Xi thought depressedly.

In the face of a team as weak as Sunderland, Tottenham, who replaced Chen Xi early, will naturally not encounter the same situation as Fulham again. As a result, the score remained 3-0 until the end.

Sadly, Newcastle United were unable to pull Arsenal down in another game at Highbury. Arsenal also emerged victorious and continued to dominate the top spot by winning goals.

This also makes fans look forward to the next round of direct dialogue between the two teams!

After Sunderland returned to London, Tottenham Hotspur welcomed Greece's PAOK Salonika at home non-stop.

In the first leg, the two teams played 0-0. This time at home, Tottenham only needs to win to advance.

With the weekend coming up against Arsenal on the horizon, Hoddle has a number of key players in the game. Chen Xi led a number of substitute players to appear on the White Hart Lane Stadium.

The difference in strength between PAOK Salonika and Tottenham Hotspur is still obvious, even if Tottenham sends a lot of substitutes, it is still stronger than PAOK Salonika.

In the tenth minute of the game, Chen Xi's cross from the wing assisted Les Ferdinand to score and help Tottenham take the lead.

With the score behind, PAOK Saloniki could only give up the plan to defend and strengthen the attack. After all, they need to get at least one draw at White Hart Lane to have any hope of progressing.

However, their intensified offensive gave Tottenham a lot of counter-attacking opportunities, and Chen Xi scored two goals in a row in the 23rd and 38th minutes of the first half to extend the score to 3-0.

It was another half-time 3-0 and it was clear that Tottenham had already booked a place in the last 32 of the UEFA Cup.

In the second half, Hoddle replaced Chen Xi with Acerington, and Chen Xi, who scored two shots and one pass, got warm applause and shouts from the home fans.

After Chen Xi left the game, Tottenham and PAOK Saloniki scored another goal each, and finally Tottenham successfully advanced to the round of 32 of the UEFA Cup with an aggregate score of 4-1.

Next, Tottenham will start preparing for the north London derby in four days! ――

With the North London Derby approaching, the whole of North London is in a frenzied and tense atmosphere.

The team was much more cautious in the training for the game, and the atmosphere in the team was much more dreary.

This made Chen Xi a little puzzled, he only knew that there was a deep grudge between Tottenham and Arsenal, but he didn't know what it was. In the past few days, Hoddle's mobilization meeting has only repeatedly mentioned one sentence: "There is no need to mobilize for the North London derby!" Every Tottenhame has an obligation to give their all in the north London derby! ”

Chen Xi naturally wants to adjust his emotions, so that he can fight until the last breath in the game against Arsenal, as Hoddle said.

It's just that Tottenham didn't make a special trip to "brainwash" the players, and it is really difficult for Chen Xi, a guy who doesn't know the truth, to enter such an emotion.

In the end, Chris, who has been working at Tottenham for more than 20 years, told Chen Xi in detail about the century-old feud between Tottenham and Arsenal......

For territory, fierce Lions fight to the death, as do football clubs. But for Arsenal and Tottenham, who are based in north London and are no more than three miles apart, the derby is more than just a battle for turf and fans.

For Tottenham fans, London is one thing, north London is another. In fact, Tottenham and Arsenal fans have struggled to take Chelsea in the past, let alone Fulham, Charlton, West Ham and Millwall.

Regarding the derby sentiment between Tottenham and Arsenal, it is not mutually equal. Tottenham's hatred for Arsenal runs deeper, and Arsenal's hostility towards Tottenham can largely be described as a self-defensive response.

Born on the south bank of the River Thames, Arsenal moved their home stadium north from south London to Islington's Arsenal Stadium in 1913, better known as Highbury, just three miles from Tottenham's Egret Lane, much to the displeasure of Tottenham fans and planted the seeds of hatred between the two teams.

It was the battle for relegation and relegation that broke out in 1919 that really made the Gunners and Tottenham strangers incompatible.

Tottenham finished bottom of the first division that season, while Arsenal finished fifth in the second division, and the two teams would normally meet in League Two. However, due to the four-year hiatus of the War First Division, when the League reopened in 1919, the organizing committee decided to expand the army and increase the number of First Division teams from 20 to 22.

At the time, there was no formal system in the league that dictated which teams should be relegated and which should be promoted, and Arsenal president Norris took advantage of that.

The rules were to be relegated from two to two, with League Two champions Derby County and runners-up Princeton being promoted without dispute, while the remaining two spots would be decided between Chelsea in 19th place, Tottenham Hotspur in 20th, and Barnsley, Wolves, Birmingham City and Arsenal in 3rd to 6th place in League Two, with the final decision being voted on which teams would play in the First Division.

Shrewd businessman Noris has bribed a number of neutral teams with voting rights through his powerful tactics to co-opt or threaten relegation-threatening League One teams like Chelsea. In the end, it helped Arsenal send Tottenham Hotspur into League Two with an absolute advantage of 18-8!

Naturally, Tottenham Hotspur was furious, and they returned from the second division to the first division the following year, and the north London derby, which was no less intense than the war, officially began.

In 1928, the Gunners, who had already officially named Arsenal, lost to Tottenham's relegation rivals Portsmouth and Manchester United in the final two rounds of the league, causing Tottenham to be relegated again. Egret Lane determined that the Gunners deliberately released the water, which brought the hatred between the two teams to the top.

To this day, when Arsenal fans boast that they are the team that has stayed in the top flight for the longest time, Tottenham people immediately turn against each other: in fact, Arsenal have never been promoted and their places have been stolen from Tottenham.

Although Arsenal and Tottenham shared White Hart Lane for a time during the war years, fans on both sides never found a friendship here.

At that time, there was a clear class rivalry between the two clubs' supporters, with Arsenal supporters tending to be a very urbanized middle and upper class, while Tottenham fans tended to be lower middle class.

The Arsenal once used this joke to satirize Tottenham: if you shout "taxi" in the stands of a Tottenham fan, a taxi driver will immediately stand up and answer.

On top of that, the styles between the two teams are very different.

Tottenham have always had attacking play as their guiding principle since their inception, and they have distinguished themselves with their consistent pursuit of attacking football, and their fluid, attacking team has won the hearts of their fans.

In addition, Tottenham Hotspur is also the first club in the British Isles to have the courage to eat crabs in terms of bringing in foreign players. In 1978, the team signed Argentine stars Osvaldo Adilles and Ricardo Villa, giving the English league its first real foreign signing, and in 1994, German striker Jurgen Klinsmann arrived from Monaco, marking the first time that top foreign players had joined Premier League teams.

Compared to Tottenham, Arsenal's early style of play was much more utilitarian. The team's decorated manager, Herbert Chapman, tells his players every time: "If it's 0-0, then we automatically get a point." If we don't concede, then we can get at least a point. It guided Arsenal for more than half a century, and it wasn't until the arrival of Arsene Wenger that that changed.

The serious confrontation on all sides has also perpetuated the hostile atmosphere between Tottenham and Arsenal.

In this way, with the precipitation of nearly a hundred years, the hatred between Tottenham and Arsenal has not only not faded, but has become more intense.

Chris's detailed explanation also allowed Chen Xi to understand the source of the hatred between the two clubs. As a Tottenham player, Chen Xi was finally able to understand the hatred of Tottenham fans. He also began to desperately want to do his part to help the team pull Arsenal down the horse and put them under their feet!!
