For a long time, Tottenham Hotspur was regarded as a second-tier powerhouse in the Premier League.

The style of play is smooth, the desire to attack is strong, and the defense is sinkhole.

Because of the characteristics of scoring more goals and conceding more goals, it once became the favorite team of Happy Bean fans.

No one cares about the victory or defeat of the white lily.

A return to the Premier League's classic reversal:

Manchester United's 5-3 Tottenham contest is the most classic.

Three goals behind, chasing five goals in a row.

Ferguson left a widely circulated quote in the United dressing room: "Boys, that's just Tottenham. ”

Even when Bale and Luka Modric played together at White Hart Lane, it didn't change the stereotype of Tottenham.

At that time, the two were also affectionately called by fans: Sun Dasheng and Silver Horn King.

...

But.

Pochettino's arrival at White Hart Lane in 2014 gave the audience a glimpse of a Tottenham Hotspur capable of competing for the title.

created a storm of white youth that swept the Premier League.

When the giants come to their senses... Tottenham Hotspur have become the number one group in the Premier League title race.

Who is the most aggressive Premier League team in the past two seasons?

Tottenham!

Legend has it that in 1986, Bielsa and Griffa went deep into the Pampas in search of young boys with football talent.

Late one night.

When the two came to a farm, they were shocked to see Pochettino, a sleeping teenager!

From that moment on.

Pochettino became the face of the "Bersa School".

What is the Bersa genre?

Another extreme genre derived from the idea of "all offense and all defense".

It's charismatic, crazy, paranoid, aggressive attacking football!

It's a football philosophy that is hard to match for a championship.

But.

Pochettino is still a little conservative in his overall defensive focus compared to Bielsa himself.

....

A few days later.

It's another fantastic Premier League matchday.

After Li Kang finished training, he and his teammates took the club bus to the White Hart Lane Stadium.

They are about to face their toughest challenge of the season.

North London Derby.

Arsenal's home stadium and Tottenham's home stadium are very close to each other.

A bridge.

4.4 miles.

The crowd has been waiting for this match for a long time.

No one thinks Arsenal are sure.

There are even quite a few white lily youth storms that can resist the views of Mr. 200 million.

Look out the window at the posters and slogans.

Li Kang lowered his head and flipped through the map, he was not very familiar with the North London area.

"Li, it's less than a fifteen-minute drive, what else do you want to look at?"

'Tottenham have committed the most fouls in the Premier League over the last three seasons, but barely too dirty because they like to interfere with their opponents with their soft hips.

"Are you talking about Ali? Hahaha! ”

Harry Maguire is playing with Xhaka's new signing Koppspur.

It's a pity.

He was the starting centre-back for the game.

With Mertesacker leading his youth squad through a midweek EFL Cup clash with them, the coaching staff made a make-up of the north London derby with fitness concerns in mind.

The only hidden danger is that the young Maguire is not stable enough.

Koscielny thought for a moment and reminded: "Get the ball out of the front court in time... Don't think about teasing your opponent, forget it, you just pass the ball to Lee. ”

Alvaro Morata wrenched his fingers and said: "In this year's Champions League, the quality of several teams in the Premier League looks very strong and they can improve the European points of the whole league. ”

This product has already enjoyed all the benefits of the highly commercial league and wants to play in the Premier League for a long time.

The current European standings have been affected by Bayer Leverkusen's place in the last four last season:

First in La Liga.

Second in the Bundesliga.

Third in the Premier League.

.......

Ten minutes later.

The Arsenal Club bus pulls into the White Hart Lane stadium.

Not far away, there was a noisy sound of renovation.

The stadium was once nicknamed the Second Stamford Bridge.

Because Chelsea haven't lost here for more than a decade.

Its traffic and capacity have been criticized by fans.

Walking distance from metro station.

It can only accommodate more than 30,000 spectators.

In May 2016, the new White Hart Lane Stadium was officially constructed on the periphery of the original site.

It won't take a few years.

Tottenham fans will also have a new home stadium to rival the Emirates Stadium.

Arsene Wenger and the coaching staff stepped off the bus.

"That's what a noisy neighbor really is."

"Boss, Levy's expansion is much cheaper than when we build a new stadium! The preliminary estimate is..."

"No, the budget will continue to expand during the construction process, if they control the cost, they will spare 200 million for reinforcements..."

.....

The scene of the pre-match press conference.

Pochettino stood up and shook Wenger's hand warmly.

This young coach is now a candidate for many giants, especially Paris Saint-Germain.

"Mr. Pochettino, your courtesy to Arsenal did not show half the gunpowder of the North London derby!"

"The game hasn't officially started yet, do you want our two managers to have a big fight?"

The Tottenham manager's remarks drew laughter from the media.

The question quickly shifted to Arsene Wenger.

"Mr. Arsène, which team would you most like to meet in the last 16 of the Champions League?"

"Bye..."

The Arsenal boss subconsciously blurted out... Brake in time.

What is the problem?

It's obviously a north London derby, why talk about the Champions League?

Arsene Wenger smiled and said calmly: "This question should be left until after we qualify for the Champions League... I only care about the game in front of me. ”

..........

Inside the Players' Tunnel.

There was silence.

Tension of hostility is still slowly brewing.

It's different from life and death before the beginning of the century.

It is difficult for most foreign players to be exposed to the derby in a new environment in a short period of time.

What's more, many local players in the starting lineup have formed a deep friendship of "no fighting, no acquaintance" during the period when the youth echelon is fighting...

"Lee!"

Sun Xingmin excitedly gave Li Kang a hug.

He finally competed with Lamela for the starting position, and he was in a good mood.

There was no pleasantry for long.

The South Korean striker quickly felt the strange gazes of his teammates and let go of his hand.

Don't forget to add: "Come on!" ”

Li Kang nodded.

He then went on to gauge Tottenham's queue.

.......

White Hart Lane Stadium.

The seats were removed.

At first glance, you can see scarves and slogans waving wildly!

The blue flag flutters in the wind on the green field.

Tottenham fans sang the rousing team anthem in unison.

The referee team led the players from both sides out of the aisle.

The four large LED panels over the stadium immediately released the starting rosters of the two teams.

“ctv5！ ctv5！ Good evening, viewers, it's the seventh round of the 2016/17 Premier League season that is streaming live for you! ”

"Tottenham at home against Arsenal!"

"North London Derby!"

"The first group of Premier League title contenders meet!"

"Here's a look at the starting lineups of both teams!"

"Tottenham have a 4-2-3-1 formation!"

"Goalkeeper: Lori!"

"Defenders: Kyle Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose!"

"Double back: Dale, Wanyama!"

"Midfielders: Son Heung-min, Ali, Eriksen!"

"Striker: Kane!"
