This week has probably been the most fantastic one for Tottenham fans.

On Sunday, they beat arch-rivals Arsenal 2-0 in the league to secure the title and announce to the league that they are now the contenders for the title.

In midweek, they beat Fiorentina 2-1. Although the Spurs players relaxed a little after Bale's zero-degree goal and Edinson Cavani's curled shot, and even scored a goal by opposition striker Falcao due to inattention, it didn't matter as they beat Fiorentina 5-1 over two legs to reach the last four of the Champions League.

If the 3-1 win over Bayern Munich was a bit premature for Tottenham fans to celebrate, their excitement couldn't be better. Competing for the league championship and the Champions League semi-finals, such a result is Arsenal next door, which has never been done, and Tottenham's results are enough to make Tottenham fans proud.

And, in addition to the results, not to mention the two wonderful goals in the game and the excellent scenes of Tottenham in the game.

"In the game against Fiorentina, Tottenham officially played their own game. After experiencing goalkeeper injuries, defenders suspended, and the national team recalling the main defenders, Tottenham's season of tossing and turning finally came to an end at this time. ”

The media's evaluation may be very correct, after so much time, the current Tottenham Hotspur is really playing at a very high level on both fronts.

At least, it's the highest level in England.

No one thought that in the Champions League eight-in-four game, only Tottenham Hotspur won in the whole of England in the end. Manchester United fought over two legs and lost to Inter Milan in extra-time, who had reached the last four for the first time since '03. Chelsea was defeated by Barcelona at their home stadium, and Terry, who was affected by rumors, moved too much in the game, pulled Alves to the ground, and won a penalty for Barcelona, Barcelona successfully seized the opportunity, knocked down Chelsea, avenged the arrow, and successfully reached the semi-finals.

The four teams in the Premier League played the Champions League, and at the end of the year, the three teams with experience all collapsed, and Tottenham, who played in the Champions League for the first time, easily reached the semi-finals, which made most teams lament the of this season.

Manchester United rebuilt, Chelsea was killed, and I didn't expect that it would be Tottenham Hotspur who would save face for English football at the very end.

"On the other hand, though, it makes it seem more difficult for Tottenham to win the league title. There are still eight league games to go, but Tottenham still need to play at least two more Champions League games, which does not seem to be an easy task for them. ”

Everything has a good side and a bad side, and if you have been successful in the Champions League, you are likely to face difficulties in the league. Now when the media talks about this issue again, they are also discussing whether Tottenham will affect the league results because of the Champions League game.

Fans are just as concerned about it. When Saturday's matchday approached, Tottenham's game against Sunderland was another packed game. Tottenham now, every time they win a game, it means that they are one step closer to the championship, and the attitude of the fans is close to madness, and it is impossible for them not to watch such a game.

'I guess at the start of the season, you didn't expect that by the end of the season we would play at this level.

Sitting on the edge of the pitch and watching the players in the pitch kick the ball, Ledley King suddenly opened his mouth to Raul beside him. Raul was watching the game intently, and when he heard Ledley King's words, he was stunned for a moment before turning his head, "I really didn't expect that." What about you? ”

"I didn't expect that either." Ledley Kim thought about it for a moment, but still told the truth, "However, when I was told that we could win the championship, I believed it. ”

Raul didn't say a word and turned his head to the court.

"You don't believe me? I'm not a sycophant. Ledley King asked.

Raul shook his head, "I didn't mean that, we've been playing together for so long, how could I not believe you?" I know you're an honest man. It's just that I didn't expect that you would have believed all this at that time. For me, at least, until now, I find it all incredible, and I feel a little ashamed compared to you. ”

Raul was in the stands, watching the game and slightly admiring. On the pitch, Tottenham were already 1-0 up, and Suarez managed to score again for Tottenham to get them off to a good start.

In this game, Raul sprained his foot before the game and did not even enter the squad, so he could only sit in the stands and watch the game. It's just that the game is really a bit boring, Tottenham's strength is obviously stronger, the game is completely in their hands, and Raul sees it very clearly.

This also made him slightly admire in his heart: when he first came at the beginning of this season, these players were not so strong. At that time, I had to teach them how to run, how to pull, how to cooperate, and how to cooperate. However, by now, they have become such good players, and even he did not expect this progress.

With such a team, it's no wonder that there are such good results.

Originally, he didn't have much desire to chat, he really wanted to watch this game, but Ledley King's conversation made him interested, "Why do you think we will win?" ”

"I said, I'm not sure we're going to win." "It's just that Lee said so, and I chose to believe him." ”

"Is there a difference?"

"For myself? ......Not really," Ledley King's answer made Raul a little annoyed, but he quickly explained, "Because whether I believe we can win, or I believe Lee's words, the result is that I don't have a chance to play." So, there's no difference. But if I can play, then it's a different story. I don't think I'd have worked as hard as I did for the sake of Lee's dreams. It's a good thing that Lee didn't reuse me this season, otherwise, if I didn't do well because I didn't want to work hard, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life. ”

"It was a bad decision." Raul opened his mouth, and after saying a word, he also asked a question that he had been asking for a long time, "Ledley, I've always been puzzled: you're the captain of this team, right?" ”

"yes, theoretically I'm the number one captain of the team."

"However, your chances this season are pitiful."

"Because of my poor strength, isn't it normal to have no chance?"

"But didn't it happen to you that it would be fair to you? Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to provoke, I just thought ......"

"You just think you're not going to do such a thing, are you?" Ledley King asked rhetorically, "You think my situation is very similar to the conditions that Real Madrid gave you at the beginning of the season, right?" ”

"I've never thought of you as a mascot."

"But you've never been a respectable captain for me. Don't deny it, I don't even think I'm the captain anymore. When you were at Real Madrid, people said you were a ball bully, and you would definitely not look down on a captain like me. ”

"I have nothing to deny, everything back then is in the past." Raul was stunned for a moment, wanting to justify something, but after all, he smiled, and after nearly a year of getting along, he knew that Ledley Kim had no malicious intentions, "And back then, I did have something wrong." ”

"Raul, you don't understand my thoughts because you haven't had an experience like mine." Ledley King felt like he was speechless and patted Raul, "I'm not a star, so I know very well that personal glory is impossible for me. I'm not asking for as much as you want, and if the team can win, I can do anything. Raul, you're a star, a big star, and the people you know are all stars, and when you talk, you may be comparing the Ballon d'Or rankings, but the people I know are comparing whether you can play professional football. Honor is at your fingertips, so you crave more. But I'm different. I don't have any decent honours in my life, and last year's FA Cup was the first time in my life that I touched a real trophy. For me, it's enough for me to get a trophy, so why ask for so much? You may not understand this......"

"I understand...... We may not be the same, but I understand that. Since '02, I've dreamed of winning the Champions League, and I know how you feel. ”

"Actually, I've played in the Champions League in my life, and I'm very satisfied......," Ledley King said with a wry smile, "I'm very low-demanding, so if Lee can bring me what I want, I choose to trust him." He asked me to be a substitute and I listened to him. Let me train the newcomers, and I will also show obedience. It's not a big deal because I want very few things, and as long as there's a champion, I'm satisfied. You left Real Madrid because you didn't want to be the team's mascot, right? Actually, I just chose a different path than you. Because I don't think there's anything bad about being a mascot. What's so bad about being a mascot in a strong team and sharing the joy of victory with your teammates? ”

Raul was silent. Many times, he finds that as a star, he doesn't see as well as these people on some issues. If it was back then, when he was still in the spirit of Real Madrid, he might have comforted him and expressed his generosity, but now, he doesn't have that kind of thought.

Such an idea is also the idea of some people. You are not nobler than others, and don't laugh at others.

He never thought about what it would be like to be a mascot, and if he had to choose, he would still not choose to be a mascot who would not play. However, for the player around him who is willing to be a mascot and share the joy of the team, he also has some of the previous prejudices.

He also suddenly understood why Li Bin would use the two of them at the same time: Raul represents dissatisfaction, Ledley King represents stability, and the temperament of these two people is what Tottenham needs. Raul makes the players improve, while Ledley King reassures the players, both of them, have a role to play.

"So you're satisfied now?"

"Of course, it's almost a championship...... "Ledley King smiled, "I'm not you, I've never dreamed of playing in a big stadium like the Bernabeu in my life, I'm not Owen, I'm not Woodgate, I know my situation." ”

"Ledley, you're not without a chance." Raul said softly.

"What chance?"

"The chance to play at the Bernabeu." Raul smiled, "This year's final was played at the Bernabeu. ”

"It's the Champions League final, can we really get there?"

"Why don't you try it? How do you know the Tao without trying? Raul asked rhetorically, "Ledley, believe me, this Tottenham team has the potential to win the Champions League." As long as you work hard, nothing is impossible! ”
