Just when Tottenham were proudly saying that they were strong, they had a big blow in the FA Cup. In this round, they faced their own city rivals Arsenal. And it was Arsenal that gave Tottenham their fifth defeat of the season and knocked Tottenham out of the FA Cup.

In this game, in fact, when the two sides kicked off, it was already a make-up match: because a while ago, Arsenal was busy playing the League Cup, the schedule conflicted, and the game was postponed, until now Arsenal was eliminated from the League Cup, and the game began, but who knows that in the game, Tottenham actually lost.

Moreover, the reason for the loss made Li Bin unable to complain: after Jerome Boateng played a good ball in the last game, Li Bin also let him start this FA Cup. He is a player with good potential, and Li Bin also wants to train him more, but who knows, Jerome, who has been on the field continuously and has received the promise of the national team coach, played rashly in the game, and made a big mistake in less than 30 minutes.

On one occasion when Alexis Sanchez broke through on the right flank and got close to the box, Jerome as a left wing-back immediately met him. However, he did not choose to get close to the opponent from the side, take his time, and carefully prevent the opponent's cross step by step, but directly sent it with a flying tackle.

It was indeed a flying shovel - after he rushed towards Sanchez, the whole person jumped straight up, his feet off the ground, and the whole person flew up and shoveled towards Sanchez. Although his own control is quite good, two feet to avoid Sanchez's legs, the left foot shovels to the ball, the right foot is behind Sanchez's legs, but, this kind of flying tackle with both feet off the ground, after landing and the action of scissor feet suspicious kick, in the eyes of a South American player like Sanchez who is good at breaking through, there is a best way to deal with it - he flew directly into the penalty area, and then hugged his legs and shouted.

This action made Li Bin on the sidelines dumbfounded: although he knows the way, the referees on the German side are sometimes more unreliable than the Premier League, he knows the way, and Jerome, who grew up in that environment, may act a little rougher. But no matter how rough you are, you can't leave the ground at the same time, it's a matter of basic common sense!

This is not a matter of skill, even the most amateur coach will not allow players to fly with their feet off the ground, this is a standard hurtful action, which coach dares to teach people to hurt people, waiting to be revoked by the league disciplinary committee. It's simply Jerome's own confused brain and fever at a critical moment.

And the rest is much simpler: although Jerome yells that he didn't touch anyone, whether he touches anyone or not, and shovels people with his feet off the ground, there is only one way to go. Even Li Bin, who was watching the game from the sidelines, didn't think there was anything wronged, although Sanchez was suspected of faking a fall, but Boateng did this step, and it was strange that he didn't fake a fall. Although most of the referees in the Premier League are relatively lenient, they still dare not have the slightest compromise on this issue, and a small red card made Jerome leave the field directly. Of course, at the same time, the referee did not forget to point to the penalty spot in the box and gave Arsenal a penalty.

Villa, Arsenal's top scorer, scored this goal with ease. Capitalising on Jerome's carelessness, Arsenal comfortably gained the upper hand.

With the loss of a defender and a goal in less than 30 minutes, the rest of Tottenham's game will be difficult to imagine. Because it was originally a continuous battle, coupled with the strength of Sagna, Li Bin's lineup was originally adjusted, and he wanted to rely on the right side to insert and win the opponent, but Jerome left the field on the left side, which directly changed Li Bin's tactics. Without the interception on the left side to slow down the attack, and then let the right side force the attack, that's what only people with funny heads do, Li Bin is neither Moyes, nor Martino, not so crazy.

After a little adjustment, he originally wanted to let his team plug in from the middle and regain the disadvantage, but Tottenham's adjustment did not work, but allowed Arsenal to seize the opportunity, seize the lack of numbers after Tottenham's adjustment, the problem of improper coordination between the wing and the middle, and Nasri scored a goal again.

The score of 2-0 became the final game of the game. Tottenham Hotspur had just beaten Bayern Munich and reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League, but they were eliminated by Arsenal in the FA Cup.

"A game where experience prevailed over talent – Arsene Wenger used his more mature experience to tell Li Bin that his players are still not mature enough."

The post-match media comments, although a bit mean, also illustrate Tottenham's problems. They were still not mature enough and had just a little bit of success before they were knocked out of the FA Cup. Jerome's foul was a mistake on his own, but it was also a mental reaction.

After the game, Li Bin punished Jerome and directly fined him a week's salary. This is not the first time Tottenham have made such a mistake, the first time it can be forgiven, the second time it can't. On the one hand, he said that he had a future, and on the other hand, he squandered his current youth, this kind of thing, the Germans could bear it, but Li Bin couldn't bear it.

Jerome's punishment of Li Bin is also an expression of obedience: this kind of thing is to shovel people with both feet off the ground, and you have to be punished wherever you go. Although Li Bin punished him financially, he was not deprived of the opportunity to play, and Jerome was acceptable to such a punishment.

However, although he punished Jerome, Li Bin did not have too many complaints about leaving the FA Cup in his heart. Anyway, my focus is in the league, so it's better to play in the league wholeheartedly. The league and the Champions League, these two fronts, are enough to fatigue themselves, plus an FA Cup, the players will be tired.

Everyone wants the Triple Crown, but if you don't have that strength, don't try that. The Triple Crown is of course dazzling, but if you accidentally get a Sanya king, it will be a tragic life.

The great thing of fighting on the third line should be left to a strong team like Chelsea, and your own team still needs to think about how to play in the league and the Champions League.

And after this FA Cup game, Tottenham did not make another mistake in the next game at home to Portsmouth. Luis Suarez, who started the game, was in an impressive form of the game, scoring two goals on his own and setting up Edinson Cavani's goal as Tottenham continued to lead the table with a three-goal victory.

And after this game, the draw for the quarterfinals of the Champions League is also in sight.

In the quarterfinals of this year's Champions League, there are three Premier League seats, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham. There are two seats in La Liga, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Serie A, which are Fiorentina and Inter Milan, respectively, and the last one is the Russian Premier League team CSKA Moscow.

Among these teams, the ones that surprised Li Bin to advance were Inter Milan and Fiorentina. Inter Milan in the Champions League, drawn Sevilla, although the strength of the opponent is okay, but Inter Milan still won the opponent and successfully reached the quarterfinals, while Fiorentina although the opponent was the weaker Olympiacos, relying on a little good luck and their own efforts, they still won the game. There are still two teams in Serie A that have reached the quarterfinals by virtue of their strength, which makes Li Bin also surprised.

These two teams that surprised Li Bin the most are also the teams that Li Bin hopes to meet the most in the Champions League. After all, their strength is relatively weak, and they are easy opponents to fight. Compared with them, Real Madrid bloodied Lyon, Barcelona beat Milan, although their opponents are theoretically giants, but the strength is simply not enough to compete with the top two, such a game is not difficult to play at all, in the last round of the game, the two opponents who are full of fighting spirit are not easy to deal with.

Of course, there is also the weakest CSKA Moscow in the Champions League. However, in Li Bin's opinion, they belong to the Eight Powerful Gift Packs, and to be able to draw them, it has to be a very good character to do it. Although Li Bin doesn't think that his character is very bad, but he can draw the kind of character that is the best gift package, Li Bin asks himself if he has it.

Sure enough, when the lottery was drawn, Li Bin did not have this good luck. As soon as the opponents drawn by each team came out, although Tottenham's luck was good, Li Bin only smiled bitterly.

"Real Madrid vs. CSKA Moscow, Barcelona vs. Chelsea, Manchester United vs. Inter Milan, Tottenham vs. Fiorentina, it's a pretty good table. Real Madrid were lucky as they drew CSKA Moscow, the weakest side in the Champions League quarter-finals. Barcelona will need to continue their feud with Chelsea, with Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti meeting in the Champions League. Manchester United drew Inter Milan, which seems to be a good signing, but the current Inter Milan is no longer the Inter Milan that was slaughtered a few years ago. And Li Bin and Prandelli, the master and apprentice, met in the Champions League, and Li Bin also wanted to prove whether he had surpassed his teacher. ”

Obviously, the matches arranged by UEFA still have a big gimmick component.

Among the Champions League quarterfinals, the luckiest is Mourinho, who has drawn a team like CSKA Moscow, who is basically confirmed to set foot in the Champions League semi-finals. Although the Madrid media have been complaining that the distance is long, the away game is difficult, and the game is not easy to play, Li Bin estimates that they will not die if they change opponents. And if you want to say that the competition will be more fierce, it will naturally be Barcelona and Chelsea, and the two teams will be as fierce as Mars hitting the earth every time they meet. Manchester United's match against Inter Milan is a game that Li Bin also does not judge well, and it is possible for either of them to win. And the last group, Li Bin's own game, let Li Bin directly dial the phone after seeing the draw results of the game.

Since the opponent against him is Prandley, his former teacher, it would be rude not to call in advance to comfort him.

"I really didn't expect that we would meet in the game." On the other end of the phone, Li Bin's tone was very polite, he used to be Prandley's assistant coach, Prandley helped him a lot, and now even if he really met Prandley again, he still maintained respect, "In this game, you have to be careful, I will let you know how big the gap is between our team." ”

is the most opponent and can't show weakness, but as a friend, Li Bin still wants to remind Prandelli.

"You don't need to comfort me, between the two of us, the psychological pressure should be more on you, right?" Prandelli was on the other end of the phone, and his tone was not to be outdone, "Come on, come to Frankie Field." Let me see, how is your strength now! ”

You'll be satisfied. On the phone, Li Bin did not say this.

You used to be my mentor, but being content with one place in Italy and not seeing the advantages of football elsewhere has left your philosophy behind me. When we meet again, we will show you how much I've improved over the years!
