Chapter 4 Fans
Tottenham officially announced that a rookie coach had taken over their manager's position, and the outside world exploded in an instant.
Arsenal fans were the most active about this incident, and one by one they couldn't wait to launch ridicule on the Internet.
And the Tottenham supporters, who have always been tough back, are also a little lacking in confidence this time, so they can only treat it as if they didn't see it.
Then I scolded the club, and there were those who scolded Levi, but not much.
The media took to the streets to interview Tottenham fans about their views on the team's new manager.
Sky Sports, which thinks it is smart, has directly approached a core member of Tottenham Hotspur's die-hard fan group.
Brightman, who is just over 60 years old, started watching football as a child during Tottenham's golden age.
In the 1960-1962 season, Tottenham Hotspur won the then English top flight, League One, as well as the FA Cup.
The following year, Tottenham won the FA Cup again and won the 1963 European Cup Winners' Cup final.
The trophy is England's first in three major European cups.
The Lilies thus became the first team in England to win a European championship.
In 1971, Tottenham Hotspur won the first UEFA Cup in their history.
Tottenham then won the English League Cup for two consecutive seasons.
By the 80s, Tottenham had won the FA Cup in 1981 and 1982.
In the late eighties, Tottenham Hotspur welcomed Gary Lineker and Paul Gascoigne to the dazzling England twins.
They won another FA Cup for Tottenham Hotspur. In 1994, Tottenham brought in the famous German star Jurgen Klinsmann from Italy.
It's a pity that people don't have a thousand days of good, and flowers don't have a hundred days of red.
Later, due to the poor financial situation, Tottenham's results plummeted, and after the beginning of the golden era of football, they gradually lost their competitiveness.
Thankfully, Lewis seized the moment when the north London side was in a slump and made a decisive move to buy Tottenham.
But he's only for investment purposes, and the other key figure is Tottenham's current helmsman, Daniel Levy.
Bald Levy knows that if a professional team can't maintain a good operation and only rely on the owner to spend money in it out of his own pocket, it must not last long.
As for whether it has anything to do with Lewis's reluctance to invest money, does it need to be asked?
Tottenham's reputation was not good throughout Europe under the Jewish management style, and all clubs that did business with Tottenham scolded Levy for being scheming and negotiating with him was torture.
But the results of the Lily Army in recent years have really improved.
During the previous Redknapp coaching, with the help of Dutch golden boy Van der Vaart, midfield core Modric, and stars such as St. Bale, Tottenham finally returned to the top four in the Premier League, and also had a good performance in the Champions League.
The successive victories of the Nerazzurri and the Rossoneri, two Serie A giants of Milan City, finally brought Tottenham back to the attention of many fans again.
But the lack of title hopes, and Levy's smashing of the goal, made it difficult for the north London side to retain their own top stars.
Although Tottenham also invested heavily in the transfer market after selling Bale at a sky-high price this summer, it has had little effect.
The poor record made Boas even more disgraced.
The "Dragon Ball" bought with more than 100 million funds is currently mostly embarrassing and useful.
"What do you think of the new manager?"
Brightman didn't feel at all worried about the camera, laughed, and said with a smile in his loud voice:
"Ben, I know him, he used to be a good boy when he was in the echelon, and I heard that he went to school later, and we were quite sorry at the time.
It's a kid of his own and I believe he loves Tottenham, but I do have some doubts about his coaching ability.
What can a manager who has never managed a professional team do to the current Tottenham side?
I'll wait and see, if he does well, then I'll be the first to cheer for him, and if he doesn't do well, then I'll definitely be the first to go to the scene to cheer and shout out the class. ”
Brightman's answer surprised Sky Sports reporter David, who thought it would be a scolding for Levy or Benjamin, but he didn't expect this person to be quite fair.
"Oh okay, thanks for your answer."
David felt that he must have found the wrong person, and he should find someone who looked grumpy.
So he took the cameraman and went straight to a bar frequented by Tottenham fans.
"This pub is a gathering place for Tottenham fans, especially when there is a game, they drink and chat and watch the game and cheer on Tottenham together.
Let's go and see what the fans have to say. ”
"You must want us to vent our frustration with the club and question the manager, right?
Hahaha, then you might be overthinking.
At this time, what manager would be willing to take over the mess of Tottenham?
At least for the rest of the season, we have no hope for a long time, and someone else may not be as good as Benjamin.
Ben is at least his own person, we can trust him, and he will not harm the team.
Besides, his surname is Lewis, maybe next season, no, just this winter window, because his team will invest money in reinforcements?
Why do you think we say he's bad? ”
A thick-framed middle-aged man with a meaty face and a big beard said with a round beer belly.
How so? They actually think so.
David didn't get what he wanted and was a little frustrated.
But on second thought, after that kid led Tottenham to a few fiascos, then let these out and slap them in the face!
Doesn't that seem like a bad thing?
Benjamin doesn't care what journalists and media think of him, and he has a lot of work to do.
After the meeting with the club staff, he asked Sherwood to call all the first-team players.
"Time is pressing, so I won't talk nonsense, but let's talk about the employment issues that everyone is very concerned about.
Tactical adjustments are a long-term process and I won't change much in the short term, but I have two criteria for starting a game.
One is attitude, and the other is ability.
If you can't have a bad attitude, you can't play strictly according to the tactics I have formulated, so don't think about having a chance to play.
It doesn't matter who it is, how strong the ability is, how old the seniority is, it doesn't matter!
In terms of ability, on the contrary, it is secondary, football is a group sport, and one person's ability is limited.
As long as it's not too bad, there's still room for improvement, and if you have the right attitude, you will have a chance to play. ”
There were more than 20 players in the first team, with different expressions, some nervous, some uneasy, and no one knew what they were thinking.
