Section 425 Butterfly wings
In the FA Cup, Tottenham beat Arsenal 2-0, making Arsenal the first team to be eliminated from the Premier League's top four. Tottenham, on the other hand, have shown that they are better than people think they are, at least when they face Arsenal, they can get the win.
A 2-0 game is not a particularly big score, but Tottenham's comprehensive suppression of Arsenal in the game is quite obvious. Now Arsenal has lost six games in the league, and if they want to catch up with Tottenham, they can only hope that they have a super-god level of performance and Tottenham have to drop the chain.
However, after the game, Li Bin spoke highly of Arsenal after the game, "Arsenal is a very strong team, every April every year, Arsenal is almost unstoppable, in the process of competing for the fourth place in the league, they always have jaw-dropping strength and play, if you think that Tottenham Hotspur has stably won the top four, it must be killed, we must be ahead enough at this stage, because in mid-April, we can't fight against Arsenal: Arsenal's play during that time, It's magical. ”
After Li Bin teased, but he also complained in private: Chelsea is playing better and better now, and the results are more stable than Tottenham, although there is still some gap between them and Tottenham, but because Tottenham still has Manchester United to play next, maybe by the end of the season, Tottenham will have been overtaken by Chelsea. And in the final stage, Tottenham may really have to face the fourth place in the league with the four-mad Arsenal Racing League, and at the same time in the last two rounds of the league, and Liverpool, who has accumulated relegation maniac Wigan Athletic for 20 years, has been in trouble for 20 years - at that time, Tottenham is really in trouble.
How did the FA arrange this schedule and give yourself such a difficult schedule? But come to think of it, the FA seems to be doing this kind of boring thing, and if you remember correctly, Sunderland have had their last four rounds of fixtures against the top four in the league......
To please the FA, it is superfluous to say that everything else. Li Bin only sighed at this. These FA bastards are really annoying.
Li Bin ignored them, and after beating Arsenal in the FA Cup, Li Bin also led many teams to victory over Fulham. Fulham did not play very well in the game overall, they were not eliminated from the FA Cup, and Fulham, who were also very tight, had a worse result than Tottenham, and under the guidance of Hodgson, they did not cause too many problems for Tottenham, and were directly beaten by Tottenham 2-1. Suarez didn't score in the game, but Darren Bent, who came on in the assist rotation, scored a goal and at the same time, a penalty was created to add another goal to Yaya Toure, who can be said to have two assists in a game by Premier League standards.
In the subsequent FA Cup match, Li Bin also played a make-up match with Hull City. It was a game that didn't pose much of a threat to Tottenham, who won the game comfortably, and in this game, Palmery finally scored a goal - against Hull's poor defence, Palmery headed in a corner, and it was his first goal since reaching the Premier League.
Two consecutive defeats have also made Tottenham the focus again - because of this period of time, Chelsea's results are very good, after losing to Tottenham, they are all the way to win, FA Cup, league, are undefeated, which also makes them and Tottenham Hotspur points have been pulled a lot closer, and now Tottenham has won two rounds in a row, barely maintaining the points gap with them, and it has also made the media more active in speculating about the top four rankings.
'The enhancement of Chelsea is evident, they are a completely different team under Guus Hiddink. Tottenham want to suppress such a team to finish third in the league, and it seems that it will not be an easy task. ”
The media will pay attention to Li Bin at this time, also because the Champions League knockout round has begun at this time. As the champion coach of last season, Li Bin is already in a state of soy sauce this season, but it seems that Tottenham is very likely to play in the Champions League next season, which also makes the Premier League media talk about what kind of results Tottenham will play under the leadership of Li Bin. Winning the title like Parma? Or is it better? These things, the Premier League media is still very interested in knowing.
Lee Bin is aware of the comments in the media, as he is also watching the form of the Champions League. Although he has his own memories, Li Bin knows that the football world has been messed up by him now - at least, Mourinho has been on the job at Inter Milan this season, but now, he is still commenting on the Champions League to Sky TV. The water that has been muddied by himself may drown himself, and Li Bin has to pay attention to it.
He also felt a little emotional, it seems that because of his intervention, this season's Premier League, Champions League, and teams on all fronts are a little different from what he remembers.
Chelsea are obviously a lot better than they can remember. Hiddink's Chelsea is not without weaknesses in Li Bin's memory - if there really are no weaknesses, they should have won more easily in the face of Barcelona, rather than being hacked because they did not award penalties - but the current Chelsea seems to be stronger than Li Bin remembers. I don't know if it was because he was inspired by the battle with Tottenham, or because he led the team to better results in Russia, and there was not much pressure to enter the World Cup, Hiddink's energy is now almost all on Chelsea, and the level of Chelsea team's football is also rising all the way. In the Champions League, they also qualified early, which is even more admirable for their strength.
In contrast, Chelsea's old rivals Barcelona don't seem to have been as good this season as they remember. In my memory, after Pep Guardiola came to power, he began to kick off the prelude to the Dream Three team and played very well. However, this season's Barcelona did not show unparalleled dominance because of the problem of no one on the backline. Because the gap in the back line is too big, Buszques is too young to make up for the problem of the back, and they are still very disadvantageous when facing the big center. In the round of 16 of the Champions League, they faced Inter Milan, but because of Diego Milito's play, it put a lot of pressure on Pique, and they almost lost, although they defeated the opponent 3-1 at home, but Milito scored two goals in a row away, and almost succeeded in turning the tables.
Even Milito can't carry it, I really wonder how they can carry Drogba? However, in Li Bin's memory, it seems that the matter of carrying Drogba has always been done by Yaya Toure...... What are you going to do in Barcelona now?
And to say that Li Bin's influence is particularly great, it is not necessarily true, at least, Real Madrid once again became the sixteenth Lang of the Champions League, and was eliminated by Lyon again. The level they showed in the Champions League is still not improving, and this season they were badly promoted by Barcelona, and now the call for a change of president is very high, and after Sanz returned to Real Madrid, he seems to be fully committed to a new round of presidential election. Although he is not young, he has just recently sold Parma, but he is considered the best president of Real Madrid, and his voice has even been made by Fiorentino, which also makes Li Bin wonder where Real Madrid will go in the future.
Compared with those teams, Li Bin is most concerned about Manchester United. Because Tottenham's next game is against Manchester United.
If this game is not played well, it will be close to Chelsea again. However, at this time, Tottenham is facing the situation, but they are going to go away to play Manchester United at Old Trafford. Li Bin is also quite helpless about this situation: Isn't this kind of game killing him?
Manchester United have also played well in this period - after losing to Parma, United have been beaten by Liverpool again this season. Defeated by Liverpool at home and away, and suppressed by Liverpool at half-time, it can be said that Manchester United has not encountered trouble for many years. Ferguson can tolerate others, he can have a drink with Mourinho, or he can call an old rival like Wenger, but he just can't tolerate Liverpool - maybe he just took over Manchester United and was abused by Liverpool to get out of the psychological shadow, Ferguson always wants to destroy Liverpool, and this season is no exception, and now Ferguson has also broken out a lot in adversity, and the level of the team is also improving to a higher level.
What surprised Li Bin a little was the current configuration of Manchester United: they are used to using Hargreaves as a midfielder in the back, and then use Park Ji-sung and Carrick in front, if they need to attack, they will replace Park Ji-sung and Giggs, and if they need to defend, they will use Fletcher - in Li Bin's memory, Carrick and Fletcher are the main players of Manchester United this season, but this season, because Hargreaves is not injured, and he is surprisingly integrated into Manchester United's system, which has further improved Manchester United's strength. In addition, they have a three-headed monster in the frontcourt, and Dzeko is very good at reading opportunities on the bench, Anderson, Nani, who have been injured at Christmas, but Scholes, who has gradually recovered, these people are already very strong, and with Ferguson's pinching, the current Manchester United is more of a headache for Li Bin than any other team.
What makes Li Bin even more interesting is that if Manchester United becomes stronger this year, but Barcelona becomes weaker, then maybe the Champions League final will be different. And, more importantly, can such Barcelona still live with Chelsea? And if Barcelona doesn't have the Champions League this year, will they be desperate next year? Inter Milan was cheated by themselves and lost Mourinho, so who will be the Champions League winner in 2010? It's amazing to think about these things.
"It's rare to see you work so hard for a certain game, is it really that important to lose this game?"
When Li Bin was still thinking, behind his back, a hand was also on his head.
"Of course not, I'm not too worried about losing, but ...... It's not good after all, but I still hope to win. This is my first season in the Premier League and I hope to be in the last four of the Premier League and be in the ascendant. ”
Raising his head, Li Bin looked at Wan Qian who was speaking, and just smiled, "If you're tired, go to sleep first, I'll be busy here for a while and I'll go back." ”
"Okay...... By the way, I've got you covered with what you want – but you should understand that going to Old Trafford is for a game, and Ferguson won't let you go, right? ”
"Of course, I know that I bought him a gift just to show my admiration for a stubborn old man." "And, I think, there are some things that we should talk about." ”
