"Hello! I'm Rhodes! Rodrigo. Izesen. Santos. Wright! My name is so long, everyone calls me Degan, I don't know exactly how I came to be, but we're teammates and we're friends, so I want everyone to call me Rod! ”

Digan said, silent for a while before continuing: "I don't want to say anything like I'm happy to be at Tottenham, I've said enough, in fact, it's not like that, I must admit, I haven't fallen in love with this team yet, but I'm sure I'll love it soon, for you, there are people I know very well, like Luca, we worked together in Fiorentina for three seasons, and Jane, Sebastian and Moussa, we were teammates in the national team, others, we were rivals, Whether it's at club or in national team, but now we're a whole and it's great and I'm looking forward to having more new friends, hey! Shouldn't you applaud at this time!? ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they clapped their hands one after another, they found that Deegan was not as indifferent as the outside media had claimed, in fact, this man was very ~~~~~~~ funny!

Yes! It's funny!

And it's not that hard to get to.

Deegan continued: "I don't know much about Tottenham, before I came, I also checked some information, Tottenham from the establishment of the team to now, it has been 130 years, in 130 years, Tottenham has been brilliant, but that is far away, who knows, when was the last time Tottenham won the championship?" ”

The Tottenham players looked at each other, and finally it was the local player Kaulke who raised his hand: "It's the 1999 League Cup!" ”

The entire family is a big fan of Tottenham, and it is only natural that they know a lot about Tottenham's history.

Deegan nodded: "That's right, it's the 1999 League Cup, when Tottenham Hotspur beat Leicester City 1-0, it's been 13 years now, does anyone know when Tottenham last won the top flight?" ”

This time it was Huddlestone who replied: "It's 1961!" ”

Deegan snapped his fingers and said, "That's right! It's 1961, it's been 51 years, more than half a century, in the 130-year history of the team, all the honors of Tottenham Hotspur combined, there are only two top-flight titles, two UEFA Cup winners' cups, eight FA Cup titles, and four League Cup titles, what about our sworn enemies Arsenal? Thirteen top-flight titles, eleven FA Cups, two League Cups, thirteen Charity Shields, one European Cup Winners' Cup, and when were they created? That's four years less than us! Those Ashburton bastards who smell of stinky salted fish have been weighing on us for too long! ”

As long as you understand the culture of Tottenham, there is no one who does not know the relationship between Tottenham and Arsenal, and it is not enough to say that it is an enemy, it is simply not a common day, the north London derby of the two teams has always been the fiercest battle in the Premier League, and the popularity even exceeds the Manchester derby, and the Liverpool derby between Liverpool and Everton.

The first North London derby was on 4 December 1909 at the beginning of the last century, and over the course of more than 100 years, the two teams have faced each other 161, with Arsenal winning 67 times, Tottenham Hotspur winning 50 times and drawing 44 times.

The most recent north London derby was the 26th round of the league last season, Arsenal faced the visiting Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium, Adebayo first assisted Saha to open the scoring, then Bale made a penalty, Adebayo missed, but then the game entered the rhythm of Arsenal, Van Persie and Sagna equalized, and then Walcott scored twice, Rosicky also scored, Arsenal scored five goals in a row, and finally reversed Tottenham 5:2, in the eyes of neutral fans, this game can be called a classic battle, But for Tottenham, it's an absolute shame.

In this world, there is no love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason, and the two teams have coexisted peacefully for only six years for 126 years, and hatred for 120 years.

That's right! 120 years!

Founded in 1886 and Tottenham four years earlier, Arsenal was founded in 1886 and Tottenham was born four years earlier.

Freezing three feet is by no means a day's cold.

Hatred, of course, does not arise out of thin air!

On November 19, 1887, the Gunners, then known as Real Arsenal, met Tottenham for the first time in a friendly match, when there was no beautiful lawn now, and the two sides fought to the death in the mud, but the lights of the home team Tottenham Hotspur suddenly went out in the 75th minute, and Tottenham won the game 2-1.

Tottenham claimed it was too dark because some of Arsenal's players were late, while Arsenal fans insisted that Tottenham deliberately turned off the stadium lights when they had the advantage of the scoreline.

Three months later, Arsenal returned the game 6-2 and three players were said to have been kicked and injured, and the seeds of animosity between the two teams were dropped.

But because Arsenal was formed by the workers of the Royal Arsenal who made guns for the Army, it was located southeast of what is now the River Thames, and was a mixed ghetto.

Tottenham got the name from an unfilial descendant of the Earl of Northburland, who owned a large estate near the Tottenham region.

The originator of Tottenham is the "dragoon" of Jinzhi Yuye, and the founder of Arsenal is the "field gunner" of the five big and three thick. The temperaments of the two companies were very different from the start, the top management of the two clubs did not hold a grudge against the game, and the conflict was limited to ordinary arguments between fans.

Tottenham Hotspur set their home stadium in White Hart Lane in North London in 1899, and in fact Tottenham has been operating in the Tottenham area of North London since its inception, and it is only natural that they should establish a business here.

At that time, Arsenal was located in a small market, across the river from the city of London, with limited development space and a very declining regional economy.

Arsenal, who were in financial crisis, were relegated after struggling for a while, and it just so happened that Sir Norris, a Conservative MP and director of Fulham Club, saw Arsenal's potential.

Arsenal learned that Norris was interested in taking charge, and was so happy that they almost didn't bite his hand off, and Norris became Arsenal's chairman.

He had wanted to merge Arsenal with Fulham to build a superteam, but the whimsical idea was met with strong resistance from fans at both clubs and, as it matter, was ultimately rejected by the FA.

Immediately afterwards, Norris's plan to use Craven Farm as the home of both teams was beaten back by the impatient FA without looking at it.

In 1913, Sir Norris came up with a third plan, moving Arsenal to Highbury in North London, a stadium just a stone's throw away from Tottenham, where there were a large number of Jewish immigrants, and the underground went directly to Gillespie Road near the stadium, which could definitely attract countless residents, and Norris's hundreds of thousands of pounds pointed to their bi-weekly voluntary dedication.

Prior to this, there were two main clubs in north London competing for fans, Tottenham Hotspur and Leyton East. Tottenham had just spent £50,000 in 1909 to rebuild the West Stand at White Hart Lane to attract more spectators. Arsenal's attempt to build a stadium in Highbury will definitely have an impact on Tottenham, as Highbury is closer to central London than White Hart Lane, and the stadium's location next to the tube station is more likely to attract fans, so for Tottenham, who still do not have a large number of stable fans, Arsenal's move is undoubtedly bullying.

The decision was undoubtedly opposed by everyone, with Arsenal fans unable to accept the move from the club, Tottenham fans hating Arsenal's arrival, and Chelsea, who felt threatened.

The three clubs joined forces to protest to the FA, but the revolt was quickly crushed and the powerful Norris overcame all obstacles and was an all-round success.

As a result, one of the most famous derbies in the history of world football has also taken root in north London.

A local Tottenham newspaper described Norris as a Baskerville dog circling around the chicken coop: "They don't have the right to move here!" ”

It became a permanent derby manifesto for Tottenham fans.

The seeds of hatred had been planted and it was all that had to wait for the seeds to take root, and at the end of the 1914/1915 league season, Tottenham fans sadly found that their side had fallen to the bottom of the table and would be relegated along with second-to-last Chelsea, who had to suspend all competitions due to the growing war in Europe.

In 1919, the league was reinstated, and the league committee intended to add two more teams to the first division, just as in 1898, when Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle, who had been relegated, were relegated due to the expansion of the league.

Arsenal were fifth in the second division at the time, and it seemed that it would not be Arsenal's turn to be promoted, but Sir Norris got the opportunity to show his political skills, although at this time Arsenal could be promoted to the first division through the promotion play-offs, but Sir Norris, who had already invested a lot of money in Arsenal, was not willing to take any more risks.

Norris has long been aiming for this League One spot, believing that Arsenal will have a better chance of development only by suppressing Tottenham, which is still the most popular in north London at this time, and he only cares if he can achieve his goals and does not care about other people's arguments.

In deciding which clubs would retain their League One status, the FA made the decision to have the FA executive committee vote rather than let League Two teams play in the play-offs.

With the acquiescence of the FA, Norris became even more unscrupulous, using various tricks to co-opt the English FA's executive committee members one by one, asking them to secretly promise to agree to Arsenal's promotion.

At that time, the antipathy of Tottenham Hotspur in English football was the same, Tottenham Hotspur has always been a Jewish football club, from the early days of its establishment, the ownership and management of the club has always been controlled by Jews, even the main color of their shirts, unlike other English football clubs that are mainly red and blue, Tottenham Hotspur chose white.

Two months after Norris was in charge, the FA finally had a shocking deal about relegation, with Arsenal being included in the promotion squad citing "Arsenal's outstanding contribution to the development of English football" and the fact that Arsenal had been with the FA for 15 years longer than Tottenham Hotspur.

Then came the vote on the relegation team, which shocked the Tottenham fans who were completely in the dark, and the FA executive committee voted 18 to 8 to approve the results of Arsenal promotion, Tottenham relegation and Chelsea relegation.

When the news of Tottenham's relegation came, the team's mascot, a green parrot sent by the captain when they returned from a visit to Argentina, immediately felt unwell and died within a few days.

Since then, there has been an old saying in English football: "Sick as a parrot." ”

Since then, on the Seven Sisters Street in North London, Tottenham Hotspur in the northeast and Arsenal in the southwest have become a pair of mortal enemies.

Tottenham quickly turned their grief into strength after relegation, returning to the First Division the following year with a record-breaking result, but they faced relegation in 1928, when the league was extremely competitive in March of that year, with the bottom few of the league points close and the winners and losers of each game becoming extremely important.

Also struggling with the relegation quagmire are Manchester United and Portsmouth, while Arsenal, who have become a British powerhouse under Chapman's tutelage, did their best against Tottenham Hotspur, but only sent substitutes to the other two relegation teams

One of the most crucial games was Arsenal's puzzling 2-0 defeat at home to Tottenham's relegation rival Portsmouth, which made Tottenham even more in dire straits.

When Tottenham had completed all the games, Arsenal deliberately lost 0-1 at home to Manchester United, allowing Manchester United to overtake Tottenham from behind and make Tottenham relegation. All of Tottenham are unanimous that under normal circumstances, there is no chance that Arsenal will not be able to win a point in these two games, and in fact, if Arsenal can get a point in one of those games, Tottenham will already be spared, and Spurs' relegation will certainly benefit Arsenal as they can use the opportunity to recruit more north London fans.

From that point on, the already deep grudge became even more incompatible, and every time the two teams met, the streets and bars outside Highbury and White Hart Lane became very dangerous places. Before and after the game, fans on both sides will fight hard, with white knives in and red knives out.

Since then, Arsenal and Tottenham have had their respective fortunes go up and down, and there has never been a time when they have both been flying high or being unlucky, Arsenal have never left the top flight, and Tottenham have been relegated three times, and have lived a dark life in the second division for 15 years.

Tottenham's slump in the 30s coincided with Arsenal's sweep of England under the leadership of coach Chapman, and in the 50s, Tottenham Hotspur under the management of veteran Arthur Row brought Tottenham from the middle of the second division to the first division in two years, and laid the foundation for the famous coach Nicholson.

Tottenham Hotspur became England's first double in the 60s under the famous coach Nicholson, in 1961 and 1962 they also won the FA Cup in a row, and in 1963, Tottenham rewrote the history of English football, winning the European Cup Winners' Cup that year and becoming the first English team to win the championship on the European stage, at that time, Arsenal had to struggle in the lower reaches of the league.

The tense relationship and hatred make it difficult for players to circulate between these two teams, so when there is a "traitor, liar, Judas" on the White Hart Lane stadium, many fans who have watched the game for a long time will involuntarily think of a name, yes, this is the angry name that Tottenham fans gave their old captain after Campbell went to Arsenal on a free transfer.

There have been more than a dozen direct movements between the two teams in their history, but only two have really caused a stir, one is the Northern Ireland international Jennings who jumped ship to Highbley, and the other is that Tottenham captain Campbell has defected to their rivals on a free transfer.

Although Jennings's transfer made Tottenham fans unhappy, Jennings played for Tottenham for 13 years and was finally abandoned by the Tottenham board of directors, so he deliberately chose Arsenal with the intention of embarrassing Tottenham, and the transfer fee was only 45,000 pounds.

But Tottenham fans have always treated him as their own, and after many years they still idolized Jennings, Campbell is different, he has been delaying the renewal of the contract, after learning that Wenger wanted him, he accepted Arsenal's invitation at the end of the season, so that Tottenham who cultivated him did not get any of them, Campbell ran to Highbury against the curse of Tottenham fans.

Being abandoned by the club is forgivable, but abandoning the club is not punishable. Campbell's last appearance for Tottenham was in the FA Cup in April 2001, and he was heroic, holding on for 90 minutes with an injury, but Tottenham still lost.

It was after that game that Arsene Wenger implicitly expressed his admiration for Campbell, who had already donned the shirt of his sworn enemy when he made his debut again at White Hart Lane.

No derby has ever provoked the fury of White Hart Lane as much as Campbell's return visit, and never has a derby been so hotly contested.

Tottenham fans prepared 40,000 balloons with "Judas" written on them for Campbell's return, regardless of whether Campbell took the ball or not, the field was full of scolding, and in the next few seasons, whenever Campbell returned to White Hart Lane, the home team fans did not let him go.

Regarding the hatred between the two teams, anyone with a discerning eye understands that two teams with lofty ambitions are crowded into north London, fighting for all the resources they need to survive.

In 2006, the two teams competed for the last Champions League place, and Tottenham, which had the first opportunity, lost the last battle because the players had a bad stomach, and some people still wonder if Arsenal was "poisoned"?

As long as it happens to these two enemies, there is a possibility of outrageous rumors, and the battle between the two teams has been more than a century, but 120 years is far from enough for the dark war between Arsenal and Tottenham, and this hatred will continue.

As the new captain of Tottenham Hotspur, Degan is of course very aware of the grudge between the two teams, he doesn't want to please anyone, but as the new captain of Tottenham, even if Degan has no hatred for Arsenal, he must show his boredom and hostility towards Arsenal at this time.

Because, as captain, he has to get the support of his teammates above all, and there is nothing that resonates with the players more than this topic.

"After being suppressed by their sworn enemies for so long, Tottenham fans haven't enjoyed the joy of the title for 13 years, are we going to continue this dilemma? Looking at those gunners proud, do we feel comfortable in our hearts? ”

Antienes noticed that with Degan's speech, the players' expressions began to change a little, even those who had just joined the team, although they did not have much affection for Tottenham Hotspur like Degan, but they have now put on the white rose shirt, and from this moment on, their fate will be firmly tied to Tottenham Hotspur for the next few years, at least until the end of their contract.

Deegan smiled at this time: "Gentlemen! I don't care what you guys think, but in my dictionary of life, you can't live without champions. ”

The players are moved, champions! As long as it's in the arena, there's no one who doesn't like a champion!

'From now on, we're going to be a collective, we've played for different teams, some of us have played against each other in the World Cup, the European Championship or whatever, but now we're all in this together, from now on, everything is gone, we're going to fight together, against the other 19 opponents in the Premier League, against every enemy in the Champions League, until we win the title, don't think about what we get, look at what we give for the team, here. At the all-new Tottenham Hotspur, we have only one goal, and that is to win the title! ”

Saying this, Degan's voice suddenly became louder: "In North London, no! In London! No! In England! No! It should be said that in all of Europe, there can only be one king, and that is Tottenham Hotspur, let the damn Arsenal go to hell! Heaven dooms them to be cowards, sissies, who only deserve to tremble in front of us! ”

Looking at the players who were encouraged to go a little crazy by Degan's words, Ledley. Jin couldn't help asking: "Rode, has this guy always been like this?" ”

When Antienes heard this, she laughed: "How is it? He looks more like a psychology master than I am! He's a natural agitation expert! ”
