Tottenham Hotspur have been on a high trajectory in the 02-03 season and are undefeated. Even the Red Devils, who played at home, failed to break Tottenham's unbeaten streak, which made the media sigh: who can stop Tottenham's progress?

Looking at Tottenham's next fixtures, the opponents in the ninth and tenth rounds are Blackburn Rovers and Bolton Wanderers respectively, and the outside world is generally not optimistic that they can pull Tottenham down.

However, in five league games from the end of October to November, Tottenham will face four strong opponents: Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Leeds United. The strong teams are all together, and this will undoubtedly be a huge test for Tottenham!

Naturally, Hoddle also looked at the team's schedule, and he had already discovered this veritable devilish schedule. He didn't pay much attention to it at the start of the season, after all, his goal was to take Tottenham Hotspur to Europe. But now that his team is one of the contenders for the league title, it is natural that the direct dialogue with the strong teams is extremely important. If they can get past this schedule, then Tottenham will continue to compete for the league title, and if they don't, I am afraid that the team will fall behind.

Worried about the upcoming Devil's fixtures, Hoddle led the team to Blackburn's home stadium, Ewood Park.

He obviously didn't expect that this mid-table team since the start of the tournament would cause so much trouble for his team.

In fact, Blackburn Rovers are not ranked in the rankings but have been in excellent form of late. They had won two in a row before meeting Tottenham, including one away at Leeds United. Their lineup is not bad, especially their midfield lineup, which can be called luxurious. Up front are the former Premier League giants Andy Cole and Dwight York, while the two wing-backs are Ireland's Madhav and former Manchester United player Gillespie!

Although the Black Wind Twin Evils are both over thirty years old, they still have strong attack power. Duff is one of the best left-wing players in the Premier League in recent years, and Gillespie, a member of Manchester United's '92 FA Youth Cup winners, was also a powerful player despite not being able to participate in the glory of Manchester United's 92 golden generation.

It can be said that this is a weakened version of Manchester United's 99 Treble attacking team!

Hoddle, who focused on the Devil's schedule later, ignored this. The young manager didn't realize that the team's successive victories and excellent results had inadvertently given him a sense of superiority. He has improved his position as a league title contender, and when facing some mid-to-lower teams, he can't help but have a feeling of underestimating the enemy. It's not like at the beginning of the season, with a low profile and an attitude of fighting every game.

It's like that for all the coaches, let alone the players. With the exception of experienced veterans like Sheringham, Redknapp and Zigger, as well as Chen Xi, who has been a man of two lifetimes, many players have a bit of a mentality of underestimating the enemy.

With such a mentality, coupled with the fatigue of three games a week, Tottenham Hotspur was beaten by Blackburn Rovers as soon as the game started!

Twenty minutes into the game, the score on the scoreboard at Ewood Park was already 2-0, with the home team in front and the visitors in the back!

It turned out that as soon as the opening Blackburn team took advantage of the momentum of the home stadium to launch an onslaught.

Duff and Gillespie frantically crossed from the left and right, reminding the Blackwind of what he had been treated at Manchester United. They also played to their peak form at Manchester United, scoring with a header and scoring a goal each.

The team got off to such a fantastic start to the conversation with Tottenham Hotspur, who have not tasted defeat this season, and the home fans cheered and cheered from the stands at Ewood Park.

It was only then that Tottenham's players woke up from a dream, and they remembered that they didn't seem to be strong enough to underestimate their league opponents.

Under the leadership of Chen Xi, Tottenham fought back. After several offensive attempts, Chen Xi found that Blackburn's defense was far worse than theirs.

Finally, before half-time, Chen Xi's precise cross assisted Sheringham to score a goal and helped Tottenham Hotspur pull one back.

In the dressing room at midfield, Hoddle scolded his players so hard that he seemed to forget that he had made the same mistake.

Chen Xi and his teammates held their breath in the locker room. By the time they got back on the pitch and were ready to take that breath on their opponents, Blackburn Rovers scored in the opening stages.

Duff's unreasonable pace helped him force his way through Tottenham's right side of defence and when he got into the box, the Irishman calmly pushed the ball down the middle, where Cole flanked it and slotted home with ease.

3-1, the score gap is back to two goals again!

Tottenham Hotspur are in a predicament they haven't seen since the start of the season, and their opponents are clearly attacking more than they expected!

This situation made the Tottenham players very frustrated, and after the restart, Chen Xi clearly felt that the fighting spirit of his teammates had been hit a lot. He decided to use practical actions to motivate his teammates!

After the cross after breaking through the bottom twice in a row was wasted by his teammates, Chen Xi decided to go it alone!

easily broke through the midfield to the front, facing the opponent's right-back Nair, Chen Xi pretended to go to the bottom, but in fact cut inside. successfully deceived Nair, Chen Xi took two steps horizontally in a row, and directly arched his right foot in an arc, and the ball drew a wonderful rainbow in the air and flew straight to the far corner of the opponent's goal.

Although Blackburn's American goalkeeper Friedel made an accurate judgment, Chen Xi's shot angle was too tricky, and he could only watch the ball fly past his hands and into the gate!

Chen Xi made a wonderful world wave to make the score 2-3. The gap was back one goal and the Spurs players were back on their spirits. Chen Xi has clearly achieved his goal!

For the rest of the year, Tottenham surrounded the doors of Blackburn. If it weren't for Friedel's bravery, it is estimated that he would have equaled or even surpassed the score.

Tottenham Hotspur has been unable to attack for a long time, and the players are inevitably a little impetuous, and the formation is too high, giving Blackburn a chance to counterattack!

Simon Davies' cross was headed over by a Blackburn centre-back, and Gillespie from just outside the box received the ball and passed it straight to Yorke near midfield.

York received the ball and turned around and knocked the ball to Cole on the right, who didn't stop the ball and hoisted it directly behind Ledley King.

Yorke had already been inserted at high speed with a good understanding, and such a wonderful two-by-two completely tore through Tottenham's defense. After Yorke caught up with the ball, he rode into the dust and scored directly into the penalty area, expanding the score to 4-2.

At this time, the game had been played for 82 minutes, and the score gap was back to two goals again, which undoubtedly extinguished the flame of hope for Tottenham.

Not willing to lose, Hoddle on the sidelines replaced Simon Davis and Friend with veterans Anderton and Iverson, changing the formation to 4-3-3 and preparing for a last-ditch effort.

The effect of such substitutions was still obvious, and in the 85th minute, Tottenham had a great chance.

Anderton breaks down the right and crosses!

Robbie Keane, Sheringham and Iverson all flanked in the middle, but the ball flew over their back post!

Chen Xi appeared in that position, and there was no one around him to defend, all he had to do was to smash the ball into most of the empty goals with his head!

However, in the face of such a good opportunity, Chen Xi's performance made the Tottenham people present very puzzled.

I saw that Chen Xi did not head the ball directly, but took a step back, jumped up and stopped the ball with his chest. Then when he volleyed again, the opponent's central defender had already blocked it, and the ball was blocked off the line!

Oh~~~ The Tottenham fans who came with the team let out a sigh of regret...... Edison-Chan, who seemed to them to be omnipotent, let them down for the first time.

Hoddle, who was on the sidelines, also threw down the mineral water bottle in his hand in frustration, and he was obviously dissatisfied with Chen Xi's handling of the ball.

Chen Xi, who missed the opportunity, was also annoyed, and after apologizing to Anderton, he silently went to take a corner kick.

In the following minutes, the morale of the Spurs players was clearly affected by the goal, and the 2-4 scoreline remained unchanged. Tottenham's unbeaten season ended with a golden body......
