Chapter 171: The Battle of Swansea (Part II)

'We can't let this continue, I don't know what's going on in your heads, it's not supposed to be like this, we knocked out Liverpool, Chelsea, we got to where we are today, did you come to Wembley just to give the title to our opponents, and then hope that years from now, people will remember that in 2013 there was a team that reached the final of the League Cup and was humiliated by the eventual winners?

Da Laudrup roared hoarsely in the dressing room, but it could be seen that the effect was very limited, and the Swansea players were all numb in their faces, and they were already down 0:3.

Tottenham's dressing room, meanwhile, was a completely different story, with Antienes not saying a word from the moment he entered the dressing room, giving up the stage entirely to Degan.

"Forty-five minutes to go, guys, the championship is in front of us, and at this point, there's no reason for us to let up and forget about that damn identity! We're nothing remarkable, we haven't had a championship in 14 years, is that something to brag about? I've had enough, I've had enough from my first day at Tottenham, the best club in England, the honour room should never be empty, we need titles, the fans are fed up, they follow us every season, they cheer us on every game, are they just to see us play on the pitch? Wrong! What they need is a championship, it is an honor, and now this opportunity is in front of us, as long as we can go a little further, we will be able to get that championship trophy, we can create a great era, remember, the League Cup is the beginning, the beginning of a great era, this step, absolutely not to be missed! ”

If in the first half of the game, Tottenham's players played seriously under the supervision of Degan, then now, they are really stimulated by Degan, no one does not like honor, not to mention that this championship is close at hand, as long as they reach out, they can take it into their arms.

At the beginning of the second half, Tottenham still firmly controlled the initiative on the field, Swansea could only passively cope on the field, and in the 56th minute, Swansea suffered another blow, their main goalkeeper swept down Digan in front of the small penalty area, was sent off with a red card, Parker took the penalty kick, and extended the score to 4:0.

With Parker's penalty, the suspense of the game was completely ended, and in the history of the Carabao Cup, no team has ever come back from four goals down in the final, not to mention that Swansea are now facing an exceptionally strong Tottenham Hotspur.

As the suspense was ended, Tottenham also began to perform on the field, Deegan was no longer strict with his teammates, in fact, he was also tired, Tottenham began to control the game, wonderful attacks continued to appear, although they failed to continue to expand the score, but the wonderful cooperation, as well as non-stop individual performances, still made the Spurs fans in the stands fascinated.

In comparison, the rest of the game will be a painful ordeal for Swansea fans, who were supposed to come here today to see the team make history, only to see the team slaughtered by their opponents.

Some Swansea fans couldn't bear to continue watching and left the stadium early, and by the end of the day, only Tottenham fans were left in the stands at Wembley Stadium.

"Glory! Glory to Tottenham! Glory! Glory to Tottenham! ”

Singing continued to hover over Wembley Stadium, England's biggest stadium now home to Tottenham.

It would have been perfect if the game had ended there, but Tottenham didn't want to stop there, and when stoppage time came, Dembele pulled across to the right and sent in a cross that Digan pressed past the Swansea defenders and headed home from the edge of the six-yard box to make it 5-0.

Degan's goal also created the largest margin of victory in the history of the League Cup final.

At the end of the game, the Tottenham players and members of the coaching staff who had been waiting on the sidelines rushed into the stadium and began to celebrate wildly, perhaps in the eyes of those giants, the glory of the League Cup is not worth mentioning, but for Tottenham, who have not enjoyed the glory of the championship for 14 years, this moment is absolutely historic.

When Deegan took over the League Cup trophy and held it high, the whole stadium was boiling, Tottenham fans cheered and hugged excitedly, and even some elderly fans couldn't help but cry.

They have all seen that an era is about to begin, and that will be the era that belongs entirely to Tottenham Hotspur.

In the past, they could only watch with envy as their rivals Arsenal continued to show off their titles, and now it was finally their turn, although it was only a League Cup trophy, but they all knew that this was just the beginning, as long as there was Degan, the glory of the championship would continue to come.

Speaking after the ceremony, Deegan said: "We know why Swansea are here and they want to be successful, but obviously today I was going to be even better, I'm proud of our performance today, before that, Tottenham haven't enjoyed the glory of the title for 14 years, and it's a great feeling to lift this trophy again, but believe it's just the beginning of it all, we're going to create a great era." The League Cup is just the first step, and our dreams won't be the only one. ”

Obviously, Deegan and his team-mates will not be satisfied with a trophy, and now the media is starting to wonder if this season, Tottenham really have hope of touching the glory that no team has ever won.

In his post-match press conference, Antienes also said: "Did Deegan really say that? All right! I completely agree with him, this is just the beginning, now that the League Cup is a thing of the past, the next thing we have to focus on the other competitions, the league, the FA Cup, and the Champions League, these are our goals, don't say we are greedy, if you want to do it, it may not be impossible! ”

Antienes smiled mysteriously, but in the eyes of others, he couldn't help but throw two punches.

What is there to be proud of, I have Degan and I can do it too!

This is probably the truest thought of all Antienes colleagues at this moment!
