With a big home win over Leeds United, Chen Xi not only taught Bowyer, the bad boy who provoked him before the game, a lesson, but also completed a hat-trick of assists again.

There was good news on the other two pitches, as Manchester United won 5-3 at Newcastle in a shootout, but Southampton unexpectedly beat league leaders Arsenal 3-2!

This is definitely good news for Tottenham and Manchester United, who are level on points with Arsenal. In doing so, Tottenham took the opportunity to move to the top of the league table, while Manchester United finished second by a goal difference. Arsenal fell to third place!

Looking at the upcoming fixtures, Tottenham's opponents ahead of the second leg of the north London derby are Birmingham City and Charlton Athletic in the lower half of the league.

Manchester United, on the other hand, will face two bitter rivals Liverpool and Arsenal in a row. Clearly, United are going to face a huge test.

Especially in the seventeenth round, the direct dialogue between Arsenal and Manchester United, no matter what the result, is not bad news for Tottenham!

In this way, as long as Tottenham does not make mistakes themselves, the league leader position may be secured!

Of course, if Manchester United can get past this devilish fixture, then they will also be the favourites for the league title!

A return to the top of the table is obviously good news for Tottenham, who are now almost halfway through the league compared to their early season lead. After a few rounds of perseverance, the team will be able to win the halfway championship!

Under such circumstances, Tottenham Hotspur ushered in the first leg of the knockout round of 32 of the UEFA Cup. The opponent is Slavia Prague, a powerhouse from the Czech Republic!

Slavia Prague is a traditional Czech powerhouse, but they can't match their rivals Sparta Prague in terms of record or fame.

Speaking of which, their status is somewhat similar to that of Tottenham, who have been crushed by their sworn rivals Arsenal over the years. This season, however, Tottenham and Slavia Prague have both made good comebacks, and both teams are now at the top of their respective leagues.

In the face of such an opponent, Hoddle did not dare to take it lightly.

Considering the second leg between the two sides falls in midweek before the north London derby against Arsenal, Hoddle is ready to fight hard in the first leg away from home to lay the groundwork for the second leg.

Therefore, although many positions have been rotated, Chen Xi, the absolute main force, still appeared in the starting lineup.

When it came to Prague, a famous tourist city, Hodel was also very open to give the team members an afternoon of free time.

Chen Xi was visiting the Czech capital for the first time, and he and a few teammates had a good tour of this historic city.

Prague is home to a wide range of buildings from all historical periods and styles, from Romanesque and Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassical, Art Nouveau to Cubism and Ultramodernism.

Chen Xi also made a special trip to Prague Square, and before the crossing, he had heard a song named after this square, but after visiting the scene, he found that this square was more ...... than that song It's so much more beautiful!

In addition to the beautiful buildings and attractions, the beauty of the Czech Republic is also very eye-catching!

I have long heard of beautiful women in Eastern Europe, and the Czech Republic is a country that produces beautiful models.

Some people say that the romantic charm of Czech women is due to the depths of history, or the romantic surname of the Bohemians.

In the ancient mountain town of Prague, the romance and tenderness of women seem to be deeply rooted, which gives women here a special charm.

If it weren't for the fact that time was too tight, Chen Xi really wanted to stay in such a city for a while, and it would be even more perfect if he could have a beautiful encounter with an authentic Prague beauty.

Naturally, half a day was not enough for Chen Xi and his teammates to take a closer tour. Therefore, Chen Xi can only plan to come here again for a formal trip during the holidays.

That evening, the match was played at the Evzena Rosikjo Stadium, home stadium in Slavia, Czech Republic!

The Czech had apparently studied Tottenham Hotspur in detail before the game, and as the team's number one attacker, he was even more of a key target for opponents!

However, for a player with excellent ability like Chen Xi, it is one thing to focus on him or not, and whether he can prevent it is another matter!

When the game went on for about half an hour, it was Chen Xi who took advantage of a defensive negligence of the opponent to tear open the opponent's defense!

His cross found veteran Les Ferdinand in the box. The latter scored with a direct header to give the team the lead!

The England veteran has been reduced to a substitute with the arrival of Robbie Keane. But Tottenham Hotspur has been playing on multiple fronts this season, and he has taken advantage of them!

In fact, without injuries, the striker, who was the weakness of the team at the beginning of the season, became the most well-staffed position!

Trailing by one goal at home made Slavia Prague have to step up their attack!

This largely homegrown team, led by Kissel at the heart of midfield, has caused a lot of problems for Tottenham's backline.

In fact, they managed to reach the top of the league this season thanks to their excellent defense, and their attack was only good in the Czech league. Even against Tottenham's defence that conceded the most goals conceded in the Premier League, their attack was not sharp.

The offensive side failed to score, and the defensive end exposed some holes. This gave Chen Xi a chance!

At the end of the first half, Chen Xi took advantage of a counterattack opportunity and ran wildly into the penalty area with the ball to break their door, expanding the score to 2-0.

After a midfield change, Slavia Prague was forced to continue to strengthen their attack.

Tottenham Hotspur concentrated on the counter-attack, and in the 62nd minute, Slovenian midfielder Asimovic extended the score to 3-0 with a long-range shot, and completely sealed the victory.

Such a result also made Hoddle feel relieved to replace Chen Xi.

In the final half-hour, both teams scored one goal each to make it 4-1, and Tottenham had essentially secured a place in the last 16 of the UEFA Cup.

After returning home, Tottenham spent a few days in London before heading to Birmingham for the round of 16.

Opponents Birmingham, who are in twelfth place, are typical of lower-middle teams, who have no hope of attacking Europe, but are also far from the relegation zone.

So, at St Andrews, Tottenham didn't encounter too much resistance.

In the first half, Chen Xi and Robbie Keane, the two Tottenham Gunners, scored a goal each.

Although Birmingham pulled one back early in the second half, Simon Davies' 70th-minute strike brought the advantage back to two.

3-1, and the final scoreline, Tottenham brought home three points from Birmingham.

However, because the Reds Liverpool were unable to stop the Red Devils Manchester United in the "Red Red Battle" held at Anfield, Tottenham still failed to open the points gap with Manchester United.

In the locker room after the game, Robbie Keane, who had finished washing, found Chen Xi and said mysteriously: "There is a big auto show in Birmingham today, are you interested in going to see it?" ”

"Auto show? But it's almost six o'clock now, do you still have to watch? Chen Xi has been thinking about buying a car recently, so he is very interested in the auto show that Keane is talking about.

"I've inquired, today is the first day, it will be held until half past eight in the evening, we still have time to rush back after reading it, if you fancy it, you can drive back directly!" Robbie Keane said with excitement on his face.

Men are as resistant to cars as women are to clothes. As a high-income professional footballer, Robbie Keane has the ability to buy a car he likes.

"But...... I don't have a driver's license! Chen Xi suddenly remembered a serious question, after he crossed over, he didn't have a car, so he didn't rush to get a driver's license.

Robbie Keane suddenly felt as if he was looking for the wrong person, but he had the best relationship with Chen Xi in the team, so he continued: "Go ahead, I'll help you open it if you like it!" It's really not good, if you really buy it, they will take care of the delivery! ”

"Okay, go!" Chen Xi had seen a lot of auto shows before he traveled, but at that time he was just a white-collar worker with a decent income, and he could only look at those famous cars and luxury cars that he couldn't afford. Now that he has money, and there happens to be such a large-scale auto show, how can Chen Xi suppress his mood and not go to see it.

"Well, hurry up and change your clothes, let's go and ask the boss for leave!" Robbie Keane was also relieved to see that Chen Xi finally agreed.

The two of them asked for leave, and Hoddle simply approved it. For one, these two are two of the team's best performers this season. Second, tomorrow itself he is ready to take a day off, and he is not going to send the main players to the Carabao Cup in midweek. Therefore, he naturally does not need to care about the private lives of the players.

is also from the player, although Hoddle's coaching ability is average, but he is still able to get closer to the players off the field.

After the leave was granted, Chen Xi and Robbie Keane happily took a taxi to the show location in the heart of Birmingham.

As the second largest city in the UK, Birmingham is naturally not much worse than the quality of the large-scale motor shows held!

As soon as he walked into the auto show, Chen Xi was dazzled by the dazzling array of famous cars.

Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, Bentley, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and other top brands gathered together to bring the latest models to the exhibition.

Robbie Keane is currently riding a BMW X5, and this time he is ready to get his hands on a sports car.

Chen Xi, who has been following Robbie Keane, naturally appeared in those sports car areas.

Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche, these famous sports cars, Chen Xi has seen some of them in the auto show before the crossing.

His footsteps finally stopped in the area of Aston Martin, because a silver-gray sports car attracted Chen Xi's attention, the visually striking streamlined body lines looked very stylish, with 18-inch large-size aluminum rims and ultra-low flat ratio sports tires, which looked full of frames, and the integrated rear wing at the rear of the car and the GT logo were very in line with Chen Xi's appetite.

Robbie Keane noticed Chen Xi's gaze, he seemed to be more familiar with the car, so he introduced Chen Xi: "This is the Aston Martin DB7GT. The new model seems to be officially launched after this auto show! ”

Chen Xi also knows a little bit about Aston Martin, a brand that became famous for being James Bond's car in the movie 007.

Every man has a dream of 007, and Chen Xi is no exception, so after he saw this brand, he wanted to see what cars were here. As soon as he came in, he took a fancy to this Ashton Martin DB7GT.

"It's handsome! Isn't it? "I heard that it was a new model, and Chen Xi was even more interested.

"It's very nice. However, the price is a bit expensive, and the most basic ones are in the early 100,000 list! If you have the money, you might as well buy a Ferrari or a Lamborghini! "Robbie Keane has a good income, but he is not a luxury person since he was born in poverty.

Seeing that Chen Xi was still staring intently at the car, Robbie Keane added: "But 100,000 pounds is nothing to you, you just signed a big contract!" ”

is also a signed player of Nike, his value is not as high as that of Chen Xi, a newcomer, and he was still a little emotional at first. But having been a teammate with Chen Xi for so long, he naturally understands Chen Xi's strength. In his current opinion, let alone five million in three years, even if it is doubled, it is not an exaggeration!

Chen Xi, who was a little hesitant when he heard Robbie Keane's words, saw that Robbie Keane had also changed his attitude, and he was also ready to luxury! Spending hundreds of thousands of pounds in one go, whether before or after the crossing, he has never had such a big spend!

Chen Xi, who had figured it out, wanted to sit in the car and experience it. Although I can't test the car, I can go in and sit down, and I can experience it almost to a veteran driver like Chen Xi.

The staff of Aston Martin obviously also recognized Chen Xi, and immediately agreed to his request.

When you open the door, the racing seats look sporty, and according to the staff, most of the cabins are made of carbon fiber.

Sitting in the car, Chen Xi's figure of more than 185 still did not look crowded.

"That's it!" After understanding the internal structure of the carriage, Chen Xi was even more satisfied, so he simply said to the staff.

"Hello, the car will go on sale in a week, with a production of only a thousand units a year, and the base model will cost £104,500. You can book now! The staff member said respectfully.

To a week later? couldn't get the car right away, which made Chen Xi a little disappointed, but remembering that he didn't have a driver's license anyway, he didn't care: "Then I'll order one!" ”

In this way, Chen Xi's card deducted 120,000 pounds, which is equivalent to a year's salary at Tottenham, but only equivalent to the money that Nike pays him in a month.

The next thing Chen Xi has to do is to get his driver's license quickly, so that he can officially enjoy this 007 car!
