Defeating Lazio home and away to reach the final of the UEFA Cup made Tottenham the focus of England and the whole of Europe.

Having competed in three cups this season, reaching the final in all three competitions and winning the Carabao Cup, Tottenham have become the veritable kings of the European competition this season.

Tottenham's performance was reminiscent of Liverpool in '01, who also reached the final in every cup competition they participated in, and they all had the last laugh. Add to that the two Super Cups in their second season, and they have achieved a glorious five crowns!

Tottenham look to be on the same page this year, with Portugal's Porto in the UEFA Cup final and Arsenal in the FA Cup.

According to the characteristics of Tottenham's team that are good at playing tough battles, they reached the final, which must have made it difficult for the opponent.

Tottenham haven't suffered much this season in some tough games, and are unbeaten in the Premier League against the league's traditional top four Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea. They have the best record in the league's first group of "minor leagues", but due to the lack of consistency of the team, they have capsized on some teams in the middle and lower reaches, so that they have lost their hopes of winning the championship in the league.

Tottenham's lack of consistency, but lack of fear of tough matches, has allowed them to perform well in cup competitions that focus more on on-field play.

Therefore, at this time, many British media are already looking forward to a cup treble at the end of the season.

Before the FA Cup final and the UEFA Cup final, Tottenham have the final three league games to play against Manchester United, Middlesbrough and Blackburn.

According to Hoddle's thoughts, he doesn't value the results of these three league rounds, after all, the team has already qualified for the Champions League in advance. He's just going to make the most of those three games to practice his tactics and keep the main players in shape.

So, with the league against Manchester United three days before the League Cup semi-final, Hoddle is ready to give his squad a rest.

In the training match, the main substitutes of the team usually got the blue vests that symbolized the main force, while Chen Xi and many other main players were put into the substitute camp.

After playing half of the training match, during the break, Chen Xi took the initiative to find Hoddle.

"Boss, I want to play in this game!" Chen Xi said straight to the point.

"Why? Do you care about record-breaking? There are still two league games left for you, those two opponents are weaker, and I'm sure you can break the record! Hoddle thought that Chen Xi was worried that he would not be able to break the Premier League goal record, so he comforted.

"No, sir. I'm not thinking about record-breaking. If I want to break this record, even if you only give me one chance, I'm confident. I just don't want to see anyone celebrate on our turf! Chen Xi said confidently and a little stubbornly.

It turns out that Manchester United are now seven points clear of second-placed Arsenal in the league, and a win against Tottenham Hotspur would allow them to win the title at White Hart Lane two rounds earlier. Chen Xi is a man who can afford to lose, and he has nothing to say about losing to Manchester United in the race for the league title. But at the same time, Chen Xi is also a proud man, and he doesn't want to see Manchester United celebrate the title on his home turf. Now that Tottenham Hotspur has a chance to postpone Manchester United's championship by one round, Chen Xi naturally doesn't want to give up easily.

Hoddle obviously didn't expect that Chen Xi would actually take the initiative to ask for war for such a reason, just when he was thinking about whether he should agree to Chen Xi. Robbie Keane also ran over.

"Boss, Edison is right, even if we can't win the league title, we can't watch Manchester United win the championship on our home turf!" Robbie Keane agreed with Chen Xi's proposal. He used to be a Leeds United player and didn't have much affection for rivals Manchester United.

As a product of Tottenham's academy, Ledley King clearly also has a strong sense of belonging to the team, and naturally he doesn't want to watch others win titles on his own pitch: "Boss, I want to play too! ”

Immediately afterwards, several more players expressed their desire to participate in the game against Manchester United.

In fact, Chen Xi and his teammates are also thinking about the fans. They believe that fans who pay for tickets to watch the game at White Hart Lane will naturally not want to see other teams celebrate the championship here.

So, even if it might cheapen their arch-rivals Arsenal, Tottenham's players are not hesitating.

Now that the players have taken the initiative to ask for help, it is natural that Hoddle is not good at hitting the positive surnames of the players. As a result, in addition to veterans like Ziggy, some of the other absolute workhorses wore blue vests that symbolized the main force in the subsequent training.

When Tottenham Hotspur was preparing for the match with Manchester United, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger, who is Tottenham's sworn rival, also said in an interview that he hoped that Tottenham could put aside personal grievances and play this game well.

Tottenham fans were divided into two factions for Arsene Wenger's statement, with many fans also hoping that Tottenham could stop Manchester United and prevent them from celebrating the title at White Hart Lane. There are also some extreme fans who even hope that Tottenham Hotspur will deliberately let the water lose the game and let Manchester United win the title early, because the second place in the league is their sworn rival Arsenal, and they never want to see the Arsenal people have a good time.

In response, Hoddle responded in a commentary interview: "We will follow the principle of fair play in everything and will not affect the game because of any off-field factors." ”

However, almost all the media thought that Hoddle's words were just casual words. Tottenham Hotspur has just played a League Cup match, and there is no pressure in the league anymore, so why fight Manchester United?

However, on the White Hart Lane court on the day of the game, they were surprised to find that Hoddle really had to discharge most of the main force. You know, these people were all in the League Cup semi-finals three days ago!

Ferguson is also a little puzzled by Hoddle's approach, Manchester United have been eliminated from the Champions League this season by Real Madrid. Originally, after playing this game and winning the championship, they could have thought about the holiday in advance, but they didn't expect Tottenham to be so incomprehensible!

Manchester United's players were also unhappy with Tottenham's performance, not remembering their feud with Tottenham, who snatched their Carabao Cup title a little over a month ago.

In this game, Manchester United also lined up the vast majority of their main players.

However, the right-back position was replaced by Brown due to an injury to Gary Neville, while Rio Ferdinand was partnered in central defence by the backfield O'Shea. Captain Roy Keane was also sidelined with an injury, and Bart was named in the starting line-up.

In the goalkeeper position, the French bald goalkeeper Barthes has also lost the trust of the lord and was put on the bench.

Beckham, who has been plagued by transfer rumours, has also returned to the starting line-up. Becky was put on the bench by Alex Ferguson in this week's Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid and was not deployed until the second half. As soon as he came on, Beckham scored two goals for Manchester United; After the game, Ferguson's employment was questioned to a certain extent.

Heartthrob David Beckham is now wrestling with the club's new contract or a transfer to leave, just like Chen Xi. originally thought that after this game, the team won the championship in advance, and he could think more intently about this issue, but who knew that he ran into a heavily armed Tottenham team.

As soon as the game began, Manchester United, who were aiming to win the title, launched a ferocious attack.

Van Nistelrooy and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on the front line had good chances, but unfortunately their shots missed the goal!

Manchester United was mainly anti-away and fierce in attack, but Tottenham Hotspur, who were playing at home, still took the lead with a counterattack!

Beckham's cross from the right was headed over by Gardner, who had replaced Richards, and after the ball reached Flender, he passed directly to Chen Xi on the left.

Taking advantage of Beckham's lack of time to chase back, Chen Xi advanced with the ball at high speed, and after killing the midfielder, he welcomed Nicky Bhatt.

In Chen Xi's opinion, this fierce but less intelligent guy is much easier to deal with than Roy Keane, Chen Xi didn't have any superfluous movements, and directly passed him with a simple human ball!

After passing Bart, Chen Xi went directly to the middle, and in the face of Scholes's defense, Chen Xi decisively passed the ball to Morientes, who received back.

Morientes did not stop the ball, but directly refracted the ball to the edge of the penalty area, because Chen Xi had already inserted it.

In the face of Morientes' appropriate pass, Chen Xi did not make any adjustments, but directly picked up his right leg and volleyed vigorously!

The ball hung straight into the near corner of the goal, and Carol in front of the goal didn't even have time to make a symbolic save!

“gooooooooooooal！！！ Edison! Edison! Edison!!! A powerful long-range shot blasted open the door for Manchester United. It was his 34th league goal of the season and he equalled the Premier League record for goals held by Alan Shearer and Andy Cole. The league wasn't over yet, and Edison still had plenty of time to break the record! ”

Boom~~~ Tottenham Hotspur fans erupted in huge cheers at this time, and they didn't care if this goal would help their sworn rival Arsenal. All they know is that their idol Thomas Edison has become the Premier League's top scorer in a single season, and they want to celebrate this goal with Edison with their passion!

After the goal, Chen Xi also celebrated his record-equaling goal with a passionate grass slide......
