After the win over Arsenal, Tottenham's next game is the first title of the season in English football, and they will face Swansea City, the dark horse of the Premier League this season, at Wembley Stadium.

In the first round of the league this season, there were two big upsets, one was Liverpool's 3-0 annihilation in West Bromwich Albion, and the other was the new manager's Swansea City's 5-0 defeat of Queens Park Rangers away.

The upset set a number of records, Swansea have never scored more than four goals in a single game in the top flight, Swansea played in the Premier League for the first time last season, did not draw in the first four games, and scored five in the first game of the season, the last of which was won by the team's manager Michel. Laudrup, who was the first Dane to take charge of the Premier League.

As the league progressed, West Bromwich Albion were finally beaten back to their prototype, while Swansea passed away, and the Premier League has now progressed, and the small team from Wales is sitting eighth in the table and has a good chance of qualifying directly for next season's Europa League.

As the most famous player in the history of Danish football, although the big Laudrup did not win the 1992 European Championship with Denmark, he is still the undisputed crown jewel of Danish football. Countless people who worked with him and played against him unreservedly called him "the best", including Romario, Raul, Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Stoichkov and Capello.

The world regards Zidane as a left-sided striker, the representative of the traditional No.10, but the big Laudrup seems to be more worthy of this reputation in the eyes of superstars.

Cruyff, who coached Laudrup, once lamented: "Michelle. Laudrup is the most difficult to adjust, he only plays eight or nine times to be the best, but he rarely plays to the fullest. ”

Stoichkov, who worked with Laudrup the Great, also said: "Of the 100 goals I scored, half of them must have been passed by Michel. ”

There was also a saying in world football that in the 60s it was Pele's, in the 70s it was Cruyff's, in the 80s it was Maradona's, and in the 90s it belonged to Michel. Laudrup's.

If anyone still doubts that the superstars are superficial polite, you might as well listen to Laudrup's own joke, in the spring of 1996, Laudrup was at a crossroads in his life, he has won five consecutive La Liga games for Barcelona and Real Madrid, where to go?

One day, I was dining out with my family, and I suddenly met King Juan. Carlos I arrived in the same dining room, took his seat, and motioned for Laudrup to come forward and speak.

Laudrup dined with His Majesty the King, and during the banquet, the King asked, "Are you leaving Madrid?" ”

The old goose Lupu said yes.

The king smiled: "Very well, from now on, I will be the only king of Spain again." ”

can be regarded as the "King of Spain", this is the status of Da Laudrup in football, Iniesta idolizes Da Lao, and it seems that he is more senior and sincere than praising Scholes as the best opponent.

Despite his reputation as a player, the big Grode has had a rocky resume with a spell that began at Brondby and briefly spelled for Getafe, Spartak Moscow and Mallorca.

When he was approached by Swansea City, who is now in charge, he didn't know much about the Welsh team, but he was not aware of the footage and the conversation with Peter. Schmeichel, Young. After the exchange, he was determined to come, and Malby coached Swansea in the 90s.

"The philosophy of this club is the same as mine, so that's why I'm here." At the press conference of the official signing, the big Laudrup said so.

As a member of Cruyff's 'Dream Team', Laudrup's philosophy of football was rightly heavily influenced by playing under Cruyff over the course of five years.

Attacking is the only theme of Swansea under Laudrup, and even in this game, they will need to face Tottenham, who have been exceptionally strong this season, both in the Premier League and in Europe.

In the two meetings between the two teams this season, Tottenham won a 4:0 home and away against Swansea, scored eight goals in two games, and has not yet let Swansea break their jail, and the difference in strength between the two teams can be imagined.

However, in the press conference before the start of this game, Laudrup was full of confidence: "The league and the League Cup are two completely different battlefields, we lost the previous two games against Tottenham, that's a fact, there's nothing to shy away from, but those two games don't mean anything, because something different always happens in the League Cup, just like we eliminated Chelsea and Liverpool before, our goal today is simple, which is to be the one we have been since 1927. Cardiff is the first non-English team to win the FA Cup and I am convinced we can do it! ”

This game is the first time in Swansea's 100-year history that Swansea have reached the final of a major domestic cup competition, while Tottenham have won the League Cup three times in their history, but the last time they won the championship was 14 years ago.

Swansea's line-up for this game was lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Tremel in goalkeeper and four defenders in line-up for Langer and Ashley. Williams, Ji Chengyong, Ben. Davies, midfielder Britton and De Guzman, in front of them are Dyer, Pablo. Hernandez and Routledge, Michu up front.

Tottenham, on the other hand, changed the most popular 4-2-3-1 and lined up with a traditional 4-4-2 formation, with veteran Friedel in goal, Héctor, Dawson, Gallas and Hutton at the back, Parker, Jenas, Dembele and Huddlestone in midfield, and Deegan partnering Dempsey up front.

It may not be accurate to say that Antienes did not have this game in mind, but it is accurate to say that Antienes did not have Swansea as an opponent in mind.

Although Swansea's record this season is very good, especially their attack, which is very gorgeous, but in the same way, the gorgeous attack has also made them fail to score in many games, and the lack of attacking power is the biggest shortcoming of the current Swansea team.

Although before the start of the game, those media were touting Swansea, expecting this small team from Wales to create a miracle, but the gap between the two teams in terms of strength is not something that can be erased without the shouts of those media.

The game started on time, and as Da Laudrup had said before the game, even in the final battle, Swansea did not appear conservative after the start of the game, but tried to control the game from the beginning and seize the initiative on the field.

The big Laudrup on the sidelines also looked very relaxed, his mouth kept churning, chewing gum, but only he knew what kind of thoughts he was thinking inside.

Big Laudrup is not as relaxed as he seems on the outside, but very nervous, and he has no choice to let the team attack from the start.

The difference in strength between the two teams, Tottenham's front line Degan, a super killer, even if Swansea defended it from the beginning, can it be defended?

In the league, in the second leg of the battle between the two teams, Da Laudrup did not try to defend, but his defensive tactics did not work, Degan was too terrifying, with a head kick and easily scored four goals.

This game continues to defend?

Don't be kidding, in that case, not only will the game be lost, but also everyone will be lost, rather than a dead face defense, it is better to fight vigorously, it is best to fight down, even if you can't fight, at least you won't lose and lose when the time comes.

Anyway, in this game, it is a miracle that Swansea can win, and it is normal to lose the game, except for not suffering, at least the fame has begun!

Swansea's attack from the beginning really scared Tottenham, they never expected that such a small country team would dare to play so coquettishly in the face of them.

In the ninth minute of the game, Swansea really had a good chance, Dyer's side pass, Tottenham central defender Dawson made a mistake in marking, Michu grabbed the goal in the middle, Friedel judged the wrong direction, and saw that the football was about to cross the goal line.

"The rest should be over, the game hasn't been won yet!"

Deegan looked at his teammates with cold eyes, obviously very dissatisfied with the performance of his teammates just now.

Seeing Digan's cold eyes, Tottenham's players shuddered one by one, and they remembered that when Deegan came, he had said a sentence: "I will only lead those who are willing to move forward, and if I can't keep up with my pace, then I will only be eliminated!" ”

Degan is not joking, although Degan has always given them the feeling of being harmless to humans and animals, but when he was in Florence, Degan had the title of "ball bully"!

Although everyone didn't say anything, and even in an interview with reporters, they repeatedly said that they would attach importance to Swansea as an opponent, but in fact, there are really few people in the Tottenham team who take Swansea to heart, a small team in the Welsh countryside.

Now I understand, although this team is not well-known, it is not the kind of soft egg who raises his hands and surrenders before the game starts, they are really here to compete for the championship today.

Tottenham, who was awakened by Degan, finally picked up their contempt for Swansea and began to face up to this opponent.

In the sixteenth minute of the game, Tottenham took the lead, Parker sent a through ball in the midfield, Dempsey's shot on the left side of the box was barely saved by the opposing goalkeeper, but Degan, who was followed by the killing, happened to appear in front of the ball, and with a gentle push of his left foot, the football rolled directly into the goal!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！”

With Smith's yell, Deegan threw his arms up and rushed towards the stands where Tottenham fans had gathered, who were greeted with applause and cheers.

"Beautiful! It's Degan's goal again! Degan's pace was so fast that Swansea's defenders couldn't keep up with him at all, and when Dempsey shot, Deegan was still on the penalty line, but in the blink of an eye, he appeared in the most threatening position and sent the ball into the door of Swansea, Tottenham took a 1-0 lead, and it looked like the Carabao Cup title this season was already in their pocket! ”

After scoring the first goal, Tottenham did not relax, there was no way, there was a madman on the field who was staring at Degan, and the rest of Tottenham's players couldn't even relax if they wanted to.

They have all heard Dembele and Vertonghen say before that when Degan was in the European Cup, he dared to unite all the players to override the head coach Wilmots, and Degan dared to do such a big rebellious thing, who knows what crazy things he would do, once they lose their attention on the field, maybe Degan will dare to hold them by the neck and throw them off the field.

After taking the lead, Tottenham continued to put strong pressure on Swansea in the next game, but Swansea's defense did a very good job in today's game, and successively resolved several threatening gods of Tottenham.

However, even in a tight defence, after suffering a series of shocks, there were always flaws, and in the 40th minute of the game, Tottenham extended the score.

It was Parker's pass in the middle again, an overhead ball, directly into the Swansea penalty area, although the opponent's goalkeeper chose to attack at the first time, but how could his speed beat Digan, Digan stepped forward at high speed, grabbed the opponent's goalkeeper before clearing, jumped high, a header lob, and sent the ball into Swansea's goal for the second time.

2：0！

If there is only one goal difference, maybe Swansea can still maintain a strong fighting spirit, but when the gap is expanded to two goals, Swansea's players will inevitably have such a thought in their hearts: still can't do it!

Before the end of the first half, Tottenham once again extended the score, Deegan and Dempsey kicked the wall together, and fired a left-footed shot into the far corner near the penalty spot on the right side of the penalty area, 3:0.

The suspense of the game was also ended early, and at this point, the Carabao Cup has indeed become a bag for Tottenham.
