Chapter 110: Core
'I'm happy for the goal, but I'm even happier that Tottenham can beat Manchester United again at Old Trafford after 23 years! That's all that matters! β
After the game, Degan also spoke to reporters in the mixed zone, facing the mighty Manchester United and facing Rooney's provocation before the game, Degan responded with a hat-trick in the most powerful way.
'It was a good game, I don't want to judge the referee's decision, he is the enforcer on the pitch and he has the right to decide something, but the good thing is that at the last moment we withstood Manchester United's attack and saved a draw, now we have to rest and we have a lot of games to come.'
Obviously, although Degan is happy that Tottenham can win Manchester United on the road, but in the same way, he will not take one game to heart, a win in one game, absolutely not all, Degan wants Tottenham to achieve full glory this season.
Degan has a big heart, but the media don't have the heart to think about the future, they just want to seize the present, do everything possible to win people's attention and stimulate newspaper sales.
Previously, these media criticized Deegan and touted Lu Xiaopang, which can be regarded as satisfying the self-esteem of the English, who think that everything is the best, and Scotland, which belongs to the Commonwealth, is a poor country in their eyes, let alone a complete foreigner.
The style is incompatible, the tactics are not adaptable!
These clichΓ©s, under the brilliance of the British Chronicle, continue to stimulate the G-spot of the English.
Now that Deegan seems to have overcome the problems they are talking about, it is naturally time to change the tone, the media will not care about any face-saving issues, as long as they can get the news, as long as they can attract readers, they will not say that they will pull out Xiang and sit back, even if they eat it, it will be no problem.
All of a sudden, the newspapers were full of praise for Degan, saying that he was like the savior of football, and the three goals in the game against Manchester United became the object of repeated research by countless people, and finally came to the conclusion: My mother! This is clearly a goal that can only be accomplished by God!
All right!
It seems like a bit of an overblow, and everyone knows that Degan, unlike his family, is not a devout Christian, and he doesn't even have a good idea of God's old asshole.
The media hype, to Degan, seemed like a joke: "Should I show my gratitude?" All right! I'm also an ordinary person, so I'm naturally willing to listen to nice things, what do they say? Stadium God!? Ricardo would be upset if he knew, everyone knows he's a religious maniac, and I'm grateful to those who affirm me, but I'd be happier if they could keep me from falling short when I'm not doing well! β
Listening to what Di Gan said, it was clearly a slap in the face, and it was a "snap" and several repeated slaps, but would the reporters care?
When dealing with news figures, even if they are pointed at their noses, sprayed with saliva all over their faces, and scolded wildly, they won't care, what is this called? It's called professional ethics, if they really have discipline, of course.
As for falling into the well, it is a joyful thing that they like to see, and there is no psychological burden at all when they do it, what they like is the feeling of going up and down, high and low.
After being ridiculed by Degan, the reporters left satisfied, although they were a little unhappy to be scolded, but they were very willing to hear Degan say that, because once Degan did not perform well, when the time came, they would find another opportunity to sell their mouths.
After sending the reporter, Degan walked into Tottenham's training base, because Park Ji-yeon was pregnant, Degan couldn't come to the training ground early every day as usual, the pregnant Korean little woman had a big temper, and Degan couldn't cover it a little.
On the training ground, Tottenham players are working as assistant coach Ridley. Led by King, running laps to warm up, Degan said hello to Antienes, went to the locker room to change clothes, and joined in.
Then there was the tactical drill, and the victory in the last game against Manchester United also strengthened Antienes' determination to change Tottenham's tactics.
After the last game, Antienes was also asked about the new tactics at the press conference, and Antienes was blunt: "I changed Tottenham's style of play, very simply, in order to be able to integrate Degan faster, there is nothing to hide, Degan is the core of the team, is the banner, if he can play the maximum energy, the benefits are obvious, as for those who criticize our new tactical conservative, I don't want to refute anything, the facts will prove everything, We will not lose the Tottenham tradition, we will only improve our style of play on the basis of respecting the tradition, and this game against Manchester United has proved that with the support of new tactics and new formations, we can perform even better! β
Even if there are extreme Tottenham fans who are a little resistant to Antienes' reforms, in the end, it is on the pitch that wins the game that is the most important thing.
The club's president, Levy also expressed his support for Antienes, saying that while an attacking style of play can attract more fans, a balanced style of play can win glory for Tottenham.
"I gave the team all to Coach Antienes, I believe in him, he is a real champion manager, Tottenham will go to glory under him, he can do anything to benefit Tottenham and I am his strongest backing!"
Levy has said it to this point, what else can others say, it's better to keep their mouths shut up.
Anyway, it's easy to verify that the team is playing the right way, knowing that by the end of the season, Antienes will be able to lift the trophy, and if he can't, those avid Tottenham fans will have a way to get him out.
Degan is also very touched by the trust in Antienes, and all he can do is to repay this trust with a more exciting performance on the field.
Tottenham will next travel to Ukraine for the second leg of the Champions League group stage, where they will face Shakhtar Donetsk, an old acquaintance of Digan.
When he played in the Champions League for the first time at AC Milan, the first opponent he met was Shakhtar Donetsk from the Ukrainian league, and the game left a very good impression on him.
Shakhtar Donetsk, who replaced the dominance of Dynamo Kyiv in Ukrainian football, although they are a team from the second division of Europe, no one will underestimate them.
Compared with the original Shakhtar team, the current Shakhtar are more demonic, and Fernandinho is a constant suitor every transfer period. Costa has been hailed as the second Robinho, but if you really want to say who is the most demonic in this team, it is definitely Brazilian teenager Willian.
Just this past summer, in addition to Degan, Willian was the most sought-after player from all walks of life in Europe, and Real Madrid had thought of snapping up the Brazilian international Willian to replace Kaka, who was abandoned by Mourinho.
It's just that Shakhtar Donetsk is not short of money, they have previously rejected an offer of 30 million euros from Chelsea, so Real Madrid will have to pay a lot of price if they want to get the winger.
The 23-year-old arrived in Europe in 2007 and spent four seasons with Shakhtar Donetsk, scoring 28 goals in 188 appearances. As a wide player, Willian is flexible, explosive, technical, excellent on dribbling and precise in his crosses.
In addition to Real Madrid and Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, the "Ligue 1 Manchester City", also showed a very strong interest in Willian, and of course, the big boss who likes to join in the fun.
Willian's outstanding performance naturally aroused ripples in Inter's heart, but this summer, when the Nerazzurri wanted to launch an offensive against Willian, they were poured cold water, and Willian's agent publicly said: "Inter Milan can't afford to pay Willian 25 million to 30 million euros!" β
In the previous Champions League group stage with Juventus, Shakhtar Donetsk defeated Juventus 2:1, Willian almost completely destroyed Juventus' entire backline, and was awarded the best of the game, as the former main player of the Brazilian U20 national team, Willian can be qualified as a winger and a striker, with excellent vision and passing skills, and his personal offensive ability is also quite good.
The match between Tottenham and Shakhtar Donetsk was also said by the good guys to be a direct confrontation between Deegan and Willian.
Before the game, in an interview with reporters, Willian said: "It's an encouragement for me to put my name and Degan's name together, he is a super football player, and my career is just getting started!" β
Deegan also responded immediately: "William! He's doing a good job in Donetsk! β
Obviously, neither of them thinks that this match is a contest of the same level, and the result of the match proves it.

Willian was very active in this game and provided the assist for Douglas. Costa scored a goal, but Degan's performance can be called phenomenal.
Deegan scored twice just ten minutes into the first half, and in the 75th minute of the second half, Deegan fired a pinpoint free-kick into the box for Huddlestone, who only needed to leap lightly and touch the ball into the opposition's goal.
After the game, Deegan was undisputed as the best player, and in an interview, Deegan also said: "I am the core of Tottenham, since I am the core, I should do something at the core!" β
