"I firmly believe that the most glorious moment of my life, the greatest practice of self-belief, is to go all out for a goal, fight the battlefield until I am exhausted, and achieve the ultimate victory -——-Vincent Lombardi"

"I don't know what to say, in three minutes, it's the most critical fight of my career, it's up to today"

"If we don't fight together, we just wait to be slaughtered by our opponents, inch by inch, gear by gear, until the end of the game"

"We are in hell, believe me, but standing in hell, we can choose to be slaughtered, or we can choose to fight back with all our might, and we can leave this hell step by step."

"When you get old, everything will leave you, this is a part of life, until you start to lose will understand, you will find that life is also slowly accumulating, just like American football, whether it is life or American football, there is very little room for mistakes, half a step early or late, it is a failure, slow or fast half a second, you can't catch the ball."

"The foot soil is actually around us, every minute and every second of the ball will appear, our team will work together to capture every minute and inch, we will do everything to eliminate all difficulties, capture every inch, we grit our teeth, because we know that every minute of the attack is an important difference between victory and defeat, is the key to life and death

"Let me tell you, in any battle, only those who are willing to fight to the death can win every inch of the battlefield, and the reason why I support me to live is because I am still willing to fight for that inch of battlefield, because this is the true meaning of life, you have to capture the six inches of battlefield in front of you."

"Look into his eyes, you see a comrade-in-arms who is willing to fight for the soil, you see a comrade-in-arms who is willing to sacrifice for the team, because he knows that when the time comes, you will do the same for him, this is teamwork"

"If we don't work together, we will be slaughtered one by one, this is American football"

In the conference room of the first-team training building at the Theobald training base, all the windows have been drawn with thick curtains, making the huge conference room completely dark, coupled with the huge projection screen and exciting sound effects, making the environment here not inferior to that of the cinema.

All the players of Tottenham Hotspur's first team have been arranged here to watch a movie from the famous Hollywood director Oliver Stone's Sunday.

This is not a famous movie, because relatively speaking, sports movies are unpopular in Hollywood, even if this movie is about the very popular football in the United States, but it still suffered a box office waterloo, only getting $13.5 million at the box office in North America, and only $75 million worldwide, but he invested $65 million.

But it's definitely an excellent movie, and it's definitely not just about American football, it's about life philosophy.

This is also the best competitive movie Ye Qiu has ever seen, although he also likes movies such as "One Ball to Fame" and "Penalty to Gold", but he still feels that "Battle Sunday" surpasses other movies of the same genre in terms of entertainment, artistry, and even thought-provoking.

The game picture is very shocking and live, and Al Pacino's Tony is also a very rich and soulful character, and Oliver Stone conveys the concept he wants to express in this movie through Tony's mouth.

Ye Qiu has watched this movie many times, but every time he watches it, he has a very special feeling, because he is trying his best to realize his belief in self and strive for a goal, and he also believes that everyone can have some resonance from this movie.

Ye Qiu has always felt that all people living in this world are like an earthworm buried deep in the dark soil丨 can't see the direction, can't see the light, in such an environment, despair becomes very easy, hope is very difficult, but people live, there should be a hope, just like an earthworm丨, with a hope, in the dark and can't see the light of the soil, inch by inch squirming forward, inch by inch drilling, hoping to one day be able to drill out of the soil.

This is the life of a person, and this world is the soil

As professional players, the players of Tottenham Hotspur's first team are undoubtedly more impressed and experienced than anyone else in this movie, because they are real people living on the pitch, and they are now playing football to support themselves and their families, so they can understand the ideas and ideas conveyed in the movie better than anyone else.

Willie finally chose teamwork, and finally helped the Miami Sharks beat the Cavaliers, and all the Tottenham Hotspur players got up from their seats when they saw this scene, applauding vigorously, and all of them were obviously stimulated by the movie.

After a long period of foreshadowing and brewing, the movie reached its climax in the final battle, coupled with Al Pacino's inspiring speech before the game, which completely turned this movie into a classic, and also deeply infected every player of Tottenham Hotspur present.

Applause and even tears represent the players' recognition and affirmation of this movie

Especially in the last battle of the movie, whether it is Ronnie or Willy, they are interpreting and embodying a truth, no matter how good a star is, he must be fully supported and maintained by his teammates to be able to play the greatest role, and a star who has lost the support of his teammates is useless

But this movie is also revealing a brutal truth, that is, competitive sports are full of dangers, the players of the Cavaliers fell out of their eyeballs because of the collision, and the old shark, the core of the Sharks' defense, fell to the ground for a defense and fell into a coma, which makes people's whole hearts tug when watching the movie

In this way, Oliver Stone is expressing a message to everyone, especially in the hearts of the young players at Tottenham Hotspur, which will involuntarily resonate with a trace of resonance, that is, as professional athletes, everything they currently have, is so fragile, because they can have a career completely interrupted by an injury at any time, just like the Cavaliers player, or the old sharks of the Sharks.

In this heart-wrenching emotion, they will become more cherished for what they have now, more cherished for the environment they have now, and the achievements they have achieved

The team spirit of unity, selflessness and dedication expounded in this movie is undoubtedly Ye Qiu's request to everyone at Tottenham Hotspur for a long time in the past, and the spirit and fighting spirit of self-improvement and never-say-die told in this movie is what Ye Qiu hopes all Tottenham Hotspur players to have now.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the core theme of this movie is very vulgar, nothing more than emphasizing unity, and if someone just watches the part of Al Pacino's speech, they will definitely feel disgusted, and even repulsed, thinking that this is absolutely treating all players as idiots, and no one will be moved by this vulgar preaching

However, if you let go of the rejection and prejudice in your heart, and you slowly watch this movie from the beginning, you will be deeply infected, and you will find that maybe his theme is a bit vulgar and nothing new, but Oliver Stone can do a good job of telling a vulgar and unbearable theme, which makes your blood boil and make you deeply infected.

This is the skill of the director, and this is the success of this film

And it also completely conquered all the players of Tottenham Hotspur, so it was able to get their applause and even tears

After watching the movie, Ye Qiu didn't say anything, and walked out of the conference room with the coaching staff, because he believed that what he wanted to say and what he wanted to express, the players had already felt it, and I believed that they all understood Ye Qiu's encouragement to them.

Life is a never-ending battle

Some people may say that Tottenham Hotspur's life is really hard enough, and some people must say that Ye Qiu has taken shit luck.

Because in the most difficult time for Tottenham Hotspur, that is, when the team encountered the first test this season, Tottenham Hotspur ushered in Wigan Athletic, Ye Qiu's team was still in the net 0 to beat Roberto Martinez's Wigan Athletic.

The last match between the two sides reached double-digit goals, so when they lost games one after another and encountered difficulties one after another, many people felt that Ye Qiu was indeed very lucky to meet such a team.

Ye Qiu was disdainful of this statement, but he didn't refute it either, because he saw that the team had come out of adversity very well.

In midweek, Tottenham Hotspur hosted a 40-40 win over visiting Bolton Wanderers in the FA Cup last-16 knockout round, with Edinson Cavani scoring twice to help the team beat their opponents and advance to the next round.

In the 28th round of the Premier League at the weekend, Tottenham Hotspur relied on the successive goals of Falcao and Messi to take a 0 lead, and even if Everton improved in the second half and scored a face-saving goal, they were still unable to challenge Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane.

The three-game winning streak has completely dispelled all the rumours that Tottenham Hotspur may collapse, and everyone has turned to hype that Tottenham Hotspur is still very competitive.

In addition to the unexpected 0l loss to Benitez's Liverpool in the Liverpool derby, they defeated Carlo Ancelotti's Chelsea and Alex Ferguson's Manchester United in the other two matchups, and performed very well in February, which can be called the devil's schedule.

Because of this, when Tottenham Hotspur met Everton, many people were worried that the Toffees, who have been in good form recently, are likely to continue to stage a giant killer and cause another upset.

But in the end, Tottenham Hotspur managed to secure a home win and not let Everton take advantage of their own hands, which also defended their league lead once again.

Three days after playing Everton, Tottenham Hotspur travelled to Manchester City Stadium to take on Roberto Mancini's Manchester City side.

This is undoubtedly a hard-fought battle, after Mancini took over the Manchester City team halfway, the best thing he did was to build Manchester City's defensive system, which made the Manchester team's defense have improved considerably, and also played away from home, but Tottenham Hotspur, who had been tired for a long time, brought huge trouble, and Manchester City's attacking ability was not weak at all.

In the case of the two sides playing inseparable, it was Ribery and Messi who stood up at the critical moment, Messi broke through the bag of two players after winning the ball in the middle, and went straight to the penalty area to Ribery, and the French Scarface hammered the final word, helping Tottenham Hotspur score the winning goal and take away three points from the away side.

The weekend saw the FA Cup quarter-finals against Fulham, with Tottenham Hotspur losing 0-l to local rivals and beating young players to reach the semi-finals, along with Chelsea, Aston Villa and Portsmouth.

After being knocked out of the League Cup and FA Cup in succession, and in the Premier League, Tottenham's recent performance has also been bumpy, which inevitably makes people worry about the future of Tottenham Hotspur.

Especially after this FA Cup game, Tottenham Hotspur ushered in the second leg of the Champions League last-16 knockout round in midweek, and after losing the first leg away, Tottenham Hotspur must win Porto at home.

Speaking to reporters at Porto's pre-match press conference on their trip to London, head coach Jezualdo Ferreira was confident that he could bring back promotion from the road.

'Maybe a lot of people will be skeptical about our self-confidence and think it's hard to believe, but I would say that after the first leg we know very well how to beat Tottenham Hotspur, a team that is nowhere near as strong as it could be, they are not invincible.

"Of course, there will be some difficulties at White Hart Lane, and we are well prepared for the difficulties that are coming, and I am confident that my players can play at White Hart Lane without losing to the Dragons, and we will get a satisfactory result."

However, perhaps in order to lower the tone, Jesualdo Ferreira also defended some of his remarks after the first leg in an interview with the media, believing that he did not mean to humiliate his opponent, but Tottenham's performance in that game was indeed very unsatisfactory, but he once again stressed that the feeling of beating Tottenham Hotspur was very enjoyable.

'You know, it's a very addictive feeling to be able to beat a team with Messi, Franck Ribery, Falcao, Cesc Fabregas, David Silva and so on, and I'm sure all the teams want that opportunity and we're going to try to taste that feeling again at White Hart Lane."

Regarding the provocation of Porto coach Jezualdo Ferreira, Ye Qiu took a low-key approach at the pre-match press conference, saying that the team had indeed encountered some problems.

'We've played a lot of games in the last period, we didn't have a winter break, we had a long journey to play the Club World Cup and then we came back to England and we played on multiple fronts, which led to some ups and downs in the players' form.

But soon, when asked by a reporter that Tottenham Hotspur did not seem to be affected by this aspect last season, Ye Qiu denied it, because Tottenham Hotspur's form also had ups and downs last season, because it is impossible for a team to remain unbeaten for a long time.

'If somebody doubts our quality and thinks we've not had a good season, then I think he should take a good look at what we've achieved so far, we've only lost one game in the Premier League, we've drawn three, we've got 25 wins, we're 12 points ahead of second-placed Chelsea, I don't even know, if that's a bad result, then, who can answer me, what is great?'

In the face of Ye Qiu's questioning, no reporter present could give an answer, because they have always been like this, when you behave well, they will praise you to the sky, but once you lose a game, they will immediately start hyping up the so-called crisis.

Ye Qiu asked the reporter so sharply and directly, and several reporters present who usually had a good relationship with Tottenham Hotspur secretly applauded in their hearts, but they definitely couldn't shout out regardless of the feelings of their peers.

Regarding the challenge from Porto, Ye Qiu did not plan to respond to the war of words, "I can only say that we will prove our strength through this game, and I also want to tell everyone that we are Tottenham Hotspur, we will lose, but we will not lose to the same opponent in a row"

"Twice" Ye Qiu stood up from the front of the rostrum and gestured two fingers to the reporter.

There was a flash of rapid light at the scene, and all the reporters stood up one after another, taking pictures of Ye Qiu frantically, it was obvious that this was Ye Qiu's counterattack, although there was no frontal counterattack, but Jesualdo Ferreira's actions obviously angered Ye Qiu, and also made the English media give a counterattack.

"Tottenham Hotspur can't be as bad as beating Porto as easily as pinching an ant"

"The arrogant Ferreira will definitely pay the heaviest price at White Hart Lane"

"I seem to have seen Jezualdo Ferreira leave the White Hart Lane stadium with a heavy defeat"

As for the high profile and self-confidence of the English media, the Portuguese media appeared a little pessimistic, thinking that some of Jesualdo Ferreira's remarks were a bit too high-profile, after all, Tottenham Hotspur's strength was there.

But there are also some media who believe that the situation of Jesualdo Ferreira's Porto is a bit similar to the situation when Jose Mourinho's Porto met Manchester United, when it was also the round of 16 knockout round, and the first leg was also Porto L defeated Manchester United, but when everyone thought that Manchester United could beat Porto at Old Trafford, the score of the second leg was the equalizer at the last moment of Porto and successfully advanced.

Therefore, there are also many Porto fans, and even under the rendering and hype of the world's media, many Tottenham Hotspur fans are worried in their hearts, will the scene of the Champions League round of 16 knockout round in the 034 season be repeated?
