vs 442 A cruel path
Many days later, the Tottenham players still can't forget the night they won against Liverpool the other day.
In the final round of the league, Tottenham's home win against Liverpool decided the final standings for this season. Manchester United, in the last moments of despair, gained the advantage from the sky, and they beat Liverpool by 91 points to win the league title. Although Liverpool beat Manchester United twice, they ultimately missed the championship because of too many draws in the league.
It was said that before Tottenham scored the second goal, the United side had completely lost confidence in the game. When it became clear that their fate was in control on the other side of the game, and that Torres was still playing well in that game, United were on the verge of giving up the game at one point. However, when Tottenham scored the second goal, United were jubilant, and for them, how could they not be happy that they had already given up the title in their hands?
Manchester United are reveling, and they have finally been able to unload their heaviest baggage before leaving for Rome. This season, they missed the FA Cup final, they were suppressed by Liverpool in the league for almost a whole season, and they had to fight Chelsea in the final, which was already a very bad situation, but in the last round, the last ten minutes, Tottenham helped them win the championship, which made them inexplicably moved.
"Liverpool are only ten minutes away from the title. It's a pity that these 10 minutes made them lose the game after all......"
Tottenham players, it is hard to forget the Liverpool fans who came with the team, crying and shaking the sky. It's hard for them to forget how much damage this game has done to the Liverpudlians. Of course, it is also hard for them to forget that when the whole team was interviewed after the Manchester League, they were all thanking Tottenham and Tottenham for giving them a league title.
'I didn't expect the result, I didn't expect that there would be other teams that would fight so hard for Manchester United in games that don't matter to them.
After the game, Benitez strongly condemned Li Bin for being in an interview. Although it can be said that Tottenham is desperate for the third place, what is there to fight for in third and fourth? In Benitez's opinion, Li Bin is obviously unable to get along with him, so he has to die.
Is it easy for Liverpool to not have a title for so many years? Finally approaching the championship, and being so cruelly cut short of hope, how could Benitez not be angry?
However, Li Bin's answer to this is very simple, "What does it have to do with Manchester United?" I didn't want to win, I wanted a draw too, but Liverpool said before the game that they would do their best to win us, how dare I admit defeat casually? Moreover, I was afraid that after losing, someone would say that I would release the water, so I tried my best. ”
Li Bin has not forgotten what Benitez said before the game, and he is also a little disdainful of Benitez's current words: Where is the momentum that must be won before the game? Now that I think about accusing me of not being friends with you? Why did you go earlier? If you can fight, you can fight, but if you can't fight, you can't make peace? I'm that good at talking?
Li Bin was a little sarcastic about Benitez's words. Anyway, he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong in his own heart: it was wrong to put water in the game, it was never wrong to work hard, I played football desperately, what was wrong? What's more, Li Bin knows very well that if he didn't have himself, the Liverpool in his memory would also lose, what did he have to feel guilty about? Of course, he can make Liverpool win the title – but he is not a Liverpool coach, and the Liverpool coach is very supportive of him, and he can't do Liverpool a favor.
It's just that Esposito is a little unaccustomed to Li Bin's statement.
"If you have to say that we did the right thing, I don't object, and I also support us to win, but isn't your words provoking internal contradictions among them? This is the closest Carragher and Gerrard have ever come to winning the championship in their lives, right? We've ruined their hopes, and you're going too far by putting the blame on Benitez. Privately, Esposito was a little dissatisfied with Li Bin's arrogance.
"Then should I be satisfied with their hopes? So, the Chelsea players are getting older, do I have to satisfy their old boys' hopes of winning the title? It has not been easy for Arsenal for so many years, do you have to help Wenger realize his youth dream? Ferguson wants to be on the throne so much, do I have to help him achieve his dream? Oh, and Manchester City want to rise so sincerely, do we have to let them win the title too? How many championships have you won this lap? Are we going to take care of it? If they were all satisfied, five or six years later, we would have left the class early. Lorenzo, we are not Santa Claus, we can't fulfill everyone's wishes. Competitive sports have their brutal side, and it's inevitable. Everyone else is satisfied, and we are unemployed. I admire Gerrard's perseverance and I admire Arsene Wenger's persistence, but that doesn't mean I won't deal with them. We are the enemy, and after killing the enemy, we should bury them, but it is foolish to let the enemy live. Against the enemy, you have to fight to the death - don't let Benitez go when you have the opportunity to bring it down, that's what you should do. Professional football is inherently cruel, and there is no way around it. ”
Li Bin's view on this is very straightforward: the top four of the Premier League, plus the rising Manchester City and Tottenham, six clubs, four Champions League places, this is very difficult in itself, and it would be foolish not to do it if you have the opportunity to kill one. While the bloody duo is still there, get rid of Liverpool, wait for Ferguson to retire, and overturn Manchester United, if there is a chance, it is best to destroy the possibility of Chelsea winning the championship, it is best to make Abou lose interest in continuing to invest...... These things are strategic issues, and we cannot be merciful.
Benitez won the title, maybe he will be able to get the transfer fee, he is thinking about buying Falcao and Barry this summer, if he has money, he can make a deal, Liverpool may not decline, but will be stronger. If he is allowed to survive until the bloody duo get out of the way and Henry comes to power, then Liverpool will at least not experience the chaotic years of Hodgson and Dalglish, and their strength will not fall to the point where Li Bin can rest assured...... Li Bin was not interested in finding an enemy on his own.
The cake is not big enough, and if you want to get a bite to eat, you have to have a few fewer people. Compared with Hodgson, Dalglish, Rodgers and the like in the future, Benitez has poor emotional intelligence, but his coaching ability is winning, and he is really a dangerous enemy to stay in the league. If there is a chance to kill him, Li Bin will not be soft.
Benitez is now quite incompatible with Liverpool's management, and in the summer of '08, the management was even ready to ask Klinsmann to coach, and everyone arrived at Liverpool's hotel, and the players jointly interceded to keep Benitez. This season, Liverpool played a good game for a season, but at the end of the game, they were overturned by Tottenham, and the club's tolerance has reached the limit. And this summer, if the club doesn't pay for it, I'm afraid Benitez's tolerance will also reach the limit, so I'm afraid that if the results are a little bad, they will face a total collapse. Li Bin's goal has been achieved, and as soon as Alonso leaves next season, I'm afraid that Liverpool will be over.
So let's let Liverpool slump – at least, with Manchester United down, it's nice to have one less Liverpool to make trouble.
"And, at the end of the day, it's their own lack of strength. If the strength is a little better, how can this kind of problem occur? ”
Liverpool's problems are actually also problems with poor skills of Premier League players. Steven Gerrard is the best Premier League midfielder, but he is still an Englishman after all. England players put on the edge of the penalty area to defend, which is to find their own death. Carragher is very brave, but bravery can't make up for his lack of judgment, and it is precisely because of his courage to fight - Gerrard and Carragher's mistakes have always been not small, it can be said that throughout his career, to put it bluntly, it is still the technical problems of the English players, and the coach's improper arrangement, no one is to blame.
Perhaps under the double pressure of Ferguson and Li Bin, it is difficult for Gerrard to win the league title, which is very regrettable - however, even without the league title, Li Bin feels that Gerrard is enough to make anyone admire, at least a hundred times more respectable than the Premier League championship of Owen in memory, for those who are willing to stick to a club for ten years, the championship is just an ornament, not a military medal.
Although Li Bin privately said that he respected Gerrard, on the surface, he was sneering at Benitez. His words were a bit vicious, but they were right on the point. After Liverpool's last round was reversed, it was anxious for a while, and all the veterans in the team jumped out to complain about Benitez, and the club management also complained about Benitez at this time, and everyone's artillery fire was aimed at Benitez, which also made Benitez more and more pressured, and there was a tendency to resign if he didn't win the championship next season.
Such a situation is what Li Bin wants. Next season, as long as Liverpool don't play well enough, then, with Benitez leaving, the competition will be much smaller.
"It's just that if you do this, you should understand that you have offended Liverpool permanently, and we will set up a mortal enemy in the Premier League in the future, you understand, right?"
Privately, Levy has also discussed the issue with Liverpool. As the chairman of Tottenham, he doesn't know what to say about this matter: he knows how powerful Manchester United is, he will never dare to provoke Manchester United, and he will not dare to die if he offends Liverpool, both of them are giants, and he can't afford to provoke anyone, "Liverpool will fight with us in the future." ”
"No, it won't. We can sell people to them in the future to resolve the conflict. ”
Li Bin doesn't think that he will offend Liverpool to death - in a few years, as soon as Benitez leaves and Dalglish comes to power, the boss, coaching staff, management, and even the locker room will change most of the time, even if there is a feud, who will remember? When the time comes, take advantage of Liverpool's downturn, get a few players to send over, and ensure that the relationship is restored immediately - sending charcoal in the snow is the most satisfying, and wait until Liverpool reaches a low point to help them. And, as far as Liverpool's low-end level is concerned, even if he sends Kevin Boateng over, he can be regarded as helping them rebuild. Why don't you do things that make money and get married?
Liverpool can fall, but they definitely shouldn't be crippled. If they are crippled, it will not be good for Tottenham if they are left without people and Manchester United.
"Danny, we're going to be a big team in the future, don't always be afraid, who we offend, will they hate. If a team wants to rise, it will definitely be hated by everyone, you can't go all the way, and all the opponents will bow down to you and be invincible. Whether you offend Liverpool or Manchester United, what are you afraid of? In the 80s, Liverpool never worried about other people's jealousy. Manchester United have been hated by everyone since the Premier League. When a team rises and dominates, it will inevitably come at the cost of the loss of other teams, we will have enemies, and the important thing is how not to let the enemy hurt us. ”
"Now, let's go for our first title on the rise – it's an FA Cup, but it's something to remember!"
