The "Flying Bootgate" incident has obviously not only affected the internal unity of Manchester United, but also caused a rift between Chen Xi and Tottenham Hotspur FC due to constant transfer rumors.

Although he has repeatedly announced that he will not consider transferring to Manchester United for the time being, Chen Xi psychologically believes that going to Manchester United to become the new No. 7 seems to be a good choice.

In fact, the former Red Devils No. 7 George Best is Chen Xi's idol. Because in Chen Xi's opinion, Best is a perfect man both on the court and on the love field, and that is also his goal! Of course...... Except for his alcoholism!

However, Chen Xi is not ready to decide where he will go in the future because of this personal preference, and if he really leaves Tottenham, he will still have to carefully consider his whereabouts.

The buzzing transfer rumours will not affect the progress of time, and in midweek, Tottenham Hotspur will host Parma at home in the UEFA Cup!

This time, Tottenham were drawn in a home-first-away-first-game format. The first leg at White Hart Lane is a big one for Tottenham.

With almost all of Hoddle's main players hidden in this weekend's FA Cup, the team has been resting for almost ten days, which is definitely a bit of a rest!

Before the game, the media also turned their attention to the game. After all, it's a big deal in the UEFA Cup! Moreover, this game is also full of highlights!

First of all, the conversation between the two managers is intriguing.

Both Hoddle and Plandry are young coaches from each other's countries. Both were born in 1957 and have just passed the age of 45. Both were also midfielders when they were players, and their coaching style after becoming coaches was biased towards attacking football.

As the best of the two young marshals, they will also represent their respective countries in this game!

Secondly, Tottenham and Parma are both attacking teams, and both teams have a large number of good attackers.

Needless to say, Tottenham are the most attacking team in the Premier League this season, and the addition of Morientes makes their attacking configuration luxurious.

Parma, on the other hand, have also become extremely attacking under the tutelage of Prandelli, who likes attacking football, and they also have a large number of talented attackers in their team. Up front, Adriano, Mutu and Gilardino are all young talents with great attacking power. The midfield also has attackers such as Bresciano and Hidetoshi Nakata.

The contest between the two teams can be described as a needle-to-wheat battle, which is definitely quite exciting!

In the end, each team has a hot super-rookie.

Tottenham's Chen Xi has already become the target of the Premier League's major giants.

Parma's young goalscorer Adriano is also a coveted top scorer by the big clubs, but half of his ownership is in the hands of Inter Milan, and Moratti is said to be considering a buyback clause to reclaim the Brazilian striker.

One is a super newcomer who has emerged in the Premier League this season, and the other is a young striker who has already made a name for himself in Serie A and has played in form this season, and the conversation between the two is very interesting.

Of course, the Asian media is paying attention to the dialogue between Chen Xi and Hidetoshi Nakata.

Hidetoshi Nakata is now the most successful Asian player in Europe, while Chen Xi has become a high-profile Asian star with his flawless performances this season.

The direct dialogue between the two men definitely deserves the title of "Asian Derby".

The media is also looking forward to Tottenham's Kazuyuki Toda being able to play and have a "derby" with Hidetoshi Nakata, but this is obviously a bit unrealistic. Not to mention in such an important European event, even Kazuyuki Toda has not appeared in the domestic cup, and he was directly put into the reserve team after joining.

The reason given by Hoddle is that Kazuyuki Toda still needs to adapt to English football.

For such a high-profile match, the British and Italian media have carried out detailed coverage.

In the British media, this game has risen to the level of the entire Premier League and Serie A.

The reason is simple, Tottenham are now second in the Premier League and have been one of the best performers in the Premier League this season. If they lose to Parma, who are fifth in Serie A, it means that Serie A will continue to weigh on the head of the Premier League. This is obviously unacceptable to the arrogant British.

Due to the rapid development of the Premier League in recent years, the British media has begun to promote the claim that the Premier League is the number one league in Europe. However, Serie A is showing signs of decline, but their accumulation over the years still allows them to continue to dominate the top league in Europe. Therefore, whenever there is a direct dialogue between a Premier League team and a Serie A team, the British media will hype it up.

Hoddle and the players were clearly used to the exaggeration of the British media, so they didn't have too much pressure on them.

On the evening of the 21st, it was already dark, but the lights inside and outside the White Hart Lane stadium were still bright.

It's not yet the weekend, but there are still countless Tottenham fans on and off the pitch at White Hart Lane. They were all here to witness the UEFA Cup match against Parma.

Due to the pre-match publicity, fans have learned that this will be a wonderful head-to-head battle, so everyone is full of interest.

As Englishmen, they obviously want to come and see for themselves the direct dialogue between the Premier League teams and the Serie A teams.

Yang Xu and Lao Zhang also came to the scene, and the tickets for today's game were not easy to buy, so the friends of the international student football team did not come to Bailu Lane.

"It's going to be a good game today! It's definitely a goal shootout! ”

"Yes, I want to see if the attack of the Premier League is stronger or the attack of Serie A is more fierce!"

"It must be Tottenham, we have Chen Xi!"

…… Yang Xu: Before a few of them entered the field, you were there to discuss the next game word by word.

Once inside, you can hear the singing of the Spurs fans who have already entered. England fans are obviously using this way to tell Italians from afar what is called England's football culture!

The Italian fans who came with Parma were only about 2,000 people, and they only made up a dozen of the entire number of people in the stands.

The way Italian fans behave in the stands is clearly not as fanatical as England fans. Fireworks are one of the traditions of Serie A fans, but they are banned in the Premier League. So, there is simply no way for Parma fans to hit back and forth against Tottenham fans. They can only hope that their players will be able to cheer them on during the game!

When the fans were entering the stadium, the buses of the two teams also drove into the White Hart Lane stadium.

The warm-up before the game attracted the first wave of high~ tide on the scene, and the fans shouted the names of the stars they supported.

Among them, Chen Xi's voice is naturally the highest. In the eyes of Tottenham fans, it is this young Chinese who has brought change to the Spurs team and helped the team change the decline in recent seasons.

There were also many Tottenham fans in the stands who put up banners to keep Chen Xi. These people are clearly influenced by some recent reports, and they are very worried that Chen Xi will leave White Hart Lane at the end of the season. Because that would mean them falling from heaven to hell again.

"Do you think Chen Xi will leave Tottenham at the end of this season?"

"I don't know, I hope he can go to the big club. Tottenham are still a little weaker! ”

"Stay at Tottenham so we can watch the game live, it's better for Tottenham!"

"Let's go to Arsenal and we can see it too!"

"I'll go, do you want Chen Xi to be sprayed to death by Tottenham fans? It's not like you haven't seen what happened to Campbell when he returned to White Hart Lane! ”

…… Yang Xu and the others obviously saw those banners as well, and everyone was discussing Chen Xi's whereabouts after this season. There are those who hope that he will join the giants, and there are those who hope that he can stay.

Chen Xi, who was warming up, also saw these banners, in fact, since the media broke the news that he only has a one-year contract with the team and has not renewed it, there are some such banners in the stands of White Hart Lane, but this time there are a lot of them!

Chen Xi retracted his thoughts, let himself not think about this, and prepared to devote himself to the game.

After returning to the locker room after the warm-up, Hoddle also hurried to make the final arrangements!

'The opponent was very attacking today and I hope our backline can stand the test......

"Adriano is their arrowhead and I know this Brazilian is not easy to play against, but I want you to try to contain him as much as possible......"

"Of course, the most important thing is to attack! Their attack is strong, and we are not weak! I want you to give them a glimpse of the attacking power of a Premier League team! ”

…… Chen Xi and his teammates were making final preparations while listening to Hoddle's arrangement.

"Well, I won't say much more about tactics! I have a few more words to say about this game. It's only the first round, but I want you to get to know his important last name. We're going to Italy for the next leg, and there's too much to change on other people's turf. So I hope that today at home we can lay enough foundations so that we can go to Italy with a relaxed mind and play the second leg! ”

"At this time, there are a lot of people out there who are looking forward to our performance. It is said that the Premier League is not as good as Serie A, but we have to prove to the Italians today that our Premier League team will definitely not be dwarfed! Tell them that this is our territory, and they can't be allowed to go wild here! Hoddle finally said impassionedly.

"Boom!" After Chen Xi and his teammates roared excitedly, they rushed out of the locker room!

I can't hurt the lid of the dry coffee!
