Bringing home a draw from Zurich, Tottenham were fully engaged in their pre-match preparations against Manchester United.

Manchester United have not been in good form since the start of the season, with just two wins, two draws and two defeats in their first six league games in the middle of the table. They have suffered two consecutive defeats in the last two rounds!

It also has a lot to do with the instability of Manchester United's backline. Despite buying Rio Ferdinand for a record-breaking price at the start of the season, the choice of the sky-high defender's partner has been a headache for Alex Ferguson. The veteran French player Blanc, who is about to turn 37, has been in inconsistent form due to constant injuries. The other options, Brown, O'Shea and Silvestre, are all versatile at the back, but none of them are entirely reassuring to Ferguson.

Many times, Ferguson could only put Keane back in the centre-back position. Keane, however, was injured at the start of the season and has been recuperating. This is also a big reason why Manchester United suffered two consecutive defeats...... I can't get up my waist!

Snatched away by old rivals Arsenal last season, Ferguson has been obsessed with the desire to regain his dominance this season. After two defeats in a row with a disastrous name, the Lord is clearly hoping to regain form from a recent spur side who have risen to prominence.

For Hoddle, Manchester United are clearly the most powerful boss Tottenham have faced since the new season!

Manchester United, as the hegemon of the Premier League, even if the squad is incomplete and the record is not good, but once it matches the Red Devils, the opponent will always have to bear huge pressure.

After all, the framework of this Manchester United team has not changed much compared to the Treble in '99 and the Manchester United that won the league three times in a row.

Keane, Paul Scholes, David Beckham and Ryan Giggs have been a golden midfield for Manchester United's record, and although the black wind pair in the front line have left the Red Devils, United also have the king of the penalty area, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and super substitute Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

With Tottenham's defence, although Ledley King and Ziegy have returned, it may still be difficult to stop the Red Devils' attack. Hoddle's side can only hope to attack United's equally shaky defence with an attack that has been the best in the Premier League since the start of the season.

As the most important chess piece in the team's attack, Chen Xi is naturally one of Hoddle's most trusted generals. Therefore, in the pre-match training, Chen Xi's left side is still the top priority of Tottenham's attack.

Chen Xi is also well aware that he will face a huge test in this game, as he will play a first-class full-back like Gary Neville for the first time in the game, while Manchester United's right-back David Beckham also has good defensive qualities. Although Roy Keane may still be sidelined due to injury, Nicky Butt's defensive ability, also as a member of Manchester United's '92 Golden Generation', is unquestionable.

Whether Chen Xi can break out of the encirclement in the middle of these three people is crucial for Chen Xi and Tottenham!

The league leaders face the Premier League giants, and Tottenham's match against Manchester United is clearly a crucial battle for the seventh round of the Premier League!

Although there are still two days to go before the game, the major media outlets in England have begun to report on the game.

Aside from the identities of the two teams, there are still a lot of highlights in this game!

First, Sheringham, the Red Devils' Treble winner in '99, will be back at Old Trafford for the first time after missing Tottenham's away game against Manchester United last season due to injury.

The veteran, who has been away from United for more than a season, is still a bit of a haunter, saying in an interview: "It's always a strange feeling, after all, I have a perfect memory at Old Trafford. However, I know very well that I am a Tottenham player and I am also a striker and it would be wonderful to be able to score for Manchester United on behalf of Tottenham, although I don't want to hurt the fans who have supported me! ”

Whether the decorated veteran returns to Old Trafford with boos or applause is a question of concern.

Secondly, the uncle-nephew conversation between Tottenham striker Declan Les Ferdinand and Manchester United defender Leo Ferdinand is also a nice to attribute. However, given that Rice may not be able to start this game, it is unlikely that people will see this uncle-nephew conversation at Old Trafford.

It would be possible to see a direct conversation between Robbie Keane and Leo Ferdinand, the former Leeds United pair.

Robbie Keane has been vocal about his desire to break down the door for Manchester United: "It's always exciting to be able to break down Manchester United fans, and I loved it when I was at Leeds and at Tottenham, it's the same! ”

Finally, and most importantly, the confrontation between Edison Chan and David Beckham, the old and new generations of idols, is the full-edger.

Heartthrob Beckham needless to say, Chen Xi, who has recently risen strongly, has also been excavated by the British media because of his tall and handsome image.

Indeed, Chen Xi's popularity is very strong now. Although George Hamm followed Chen Xi's advice and pushed down those insincere contracts again and again, he still received a bunch of endorsement contracts every now and then.

Chen Xi's popularity is so high, in addition to his outstanding performance and perfect external conditions, his Chinese identity is also an important point. After all, China is a huge market, but every ambitious business wants to fight for it!

Since Chen Xi's debut, he has been called "Tottenham's Beckham" by the media because of his excellent cross skills and footwork.

However, when Chen Xi was interviewed, he was very confident: "It's my honor to compare me with David." But I don't want to be called next, because I am who I am, Edison-Chan! ”

Chen Xi's words are a bit arrogant in the eyes of many people, but Beckham expressed his understanding of Chen Xi in an interview: "No player plays football to be called the next person else, they all just want to be themselves!" Edison is a very talented player and I'm looking forward to talking to him! ”

Obviously, heartthrobs don't easily offend anyone, and he doesn't like to fight verbally, because it doesn't fit in with his status as the number one idol in football.

Seeing that it failed to provoke a war of words between Chen Xi and Beckham, the media pointed the finger at another full-back Giggs of Manchester United. Because Chen Xi is also known as "England's Ryan Giggs", and some media even believe that Chen Xi is a combination of Beckham and Ryan Giggs, Manchester United's magic wings.

However, Giggs is not a person who will engage in a war of words with juniors, he just gave his own advice: "I don't think it's a good thing that the media is holding Edison too high. He does have a lot of potential, but he still has a lot of problems to overcome! ”

Even Ferguson, who has always liked to play psychological tactics before the game and have a war of words with the opponent's coach, was very low-key before the game: "Tottenham Hotspur has performed perfectly this season, especially the Chinese kid named Dickson Chen." He's an absolute rare genius and he reminds me of George Best back in the day, and he had the opportunity to be the 'best' (Best's name, which means 'best' at the same time)! ”

How long has it been since the Reds praised one of their opponents? The media and fans alike were puzzled by Manchester United's performance.

At this time, Chen Xi seemed very sober, because he knew very well that the higher the opponent praised him, the more closely he would be "cared for" in the next game!

There is no doubt that this bout will be the biggest test of Chen's career......
