In his pre-match press conference, Benjamin had already put down his harsh words, saying that Tottenham would definitely win the three points at home.

Seeing that the game was about to start, Ben seized the last time to give a few words to the players before he came out.

"Stoke City starters do have an advantage in terms of height per capita.

So you have to be careful with the defence of the high ball, especially to give them as few set-piece opportunities as possible, otherwise the defenders will have a lot of pressure. ”

Stoke City is nicknamed Sky City because they are particularly fond of tall players.

At the same time, their tactics have always been to play high, and the ball is always flying in the air.

Therefore, Tottenham's tactics against Stoke City naturally cannot be exactly the same as the previous game against West Bromwich Albion.

After all, Benjamin's team is not strong enough to adapt to change, and they still need to follow up with their opponents to adjust the tactical details of each game.

Benjamin opted for a rotation in this game, with veteran Michael Dawson starting in place of a slightly unwelling Caboul.

Danny Rose and Kyle Walker on the left and right were also rotated, with youngsters Fryers and Norton in the starting line-up.

The reason for this is that just two days later, Tottenham will travel to the Red Devils at Old Trafford for their first game of 2014.

It's not that no one has some complaints about Benjamin's decision, but he made the final decision against public opinion.

Thankfully, the lads didn't live up to Ben's trust.

Dembele, Townsend and Harry Kane scored in quick succession as Tottenham thrashed Stoke City 3-0 at White Hart Lane.

After Benjamin took over Tottenham, he won two games in a row, and the outside world gradually doubted him.

In an interview with the media after the game, Kane directly stated that he was able to score consecutive goals without the manager's trust in him and professional guidance.

This made some media and fans who were full of doubts about Benjamin at the beginning full of doubts, is this guy really so powerful?

It will be up to Benjamin's side to get past Manchester United in three days' time.

……

"What? Something went wrong with the transfer work? ”

During the period when Benjamin led the team, Tottenham's transfer department was also in full swing.

With the opening of the winter transfer window, clubs in Europe's major leagues are also busy.

'N'Golo Kante is not thinking about playing abroad for the time being, and wants to help the team get promoted to Ligue 1?

Red Bull asking for fifteen million pounds? Why didn't he go and grab it? A year and a half ago they signed Sadio Mane for just four million euros!

Alisson says he would rather join a team that can give him a place as the main goalkeeper? ”

Benjamin was stunned when he got the news, he never thought that the transfer work, which he thought would not be too much of a problem, would go so badly.

The only thing to be thankful for is Alderweireld's side, and the Belgian is 100 willing to come to play in the Premier League and join his good brother and good partner Vertonghen.

Atletico have not stood in the way either, and they are happy to be able to exchange a substitute player that the manager doesn't like very much for a large transfer fee.

Benjamin's brow furrowed, it was quite different from what he had expected.

If all these deals are made, then the Belgian centre-back duo plus N'Golo Kante at the back could ensure that Tottenham's defence is not to be feared for the next five years.

Sadio Mane is a rare flashpoint, and the Senegalese breakthrough will become an indispensable part of Tottenham's attacking system.

Needless to say, a good goalkeeper can make Tottenham's goalkeeper worry for at least ten years.

After all, although the strength of the French international Lloris is also good, it is not stable enough, and Benjamin is not very satisfied with him.

There was no way, Benjamin could only put down his work to prepare for Manchester United and go out in person.

The club booked a plane ticket and flew to France overnight.

Caen is a city located in the north of France, and Kante now plays for Ligue 2 side Caen.

They have done well in the league and are expected to be promoted to Ligue 1 next season.

Through the club's official channels, Benjamin met the French midfielder with a smile on his face.

Caen FC don't mind selling Kante in exchange for the friendship of the Premier League side, and the transfer fee will not be less.

And Kante is visa-free for them, which is equivalent to making millions of pounds for nothing without spending a penny.

'I'm the Tottenham manager and the day after tomorrow we have a game against Manchester United and it's a big game.

But when I learned that your transfer was not going well, I immediately put down my preparations and flew to you.

Because I need you so much, Tottenham need you so much and you are an integral part of my plans.

Of course, I won't give you any guarantees for the position of the main team, I hope you will use your ability and your attitude to conquer other coaches and your teammates besides me. ”

'But I'm grateful to Caen for giving me the opportunity when I was at a low point and I really want to help the team get promoted to Ligue 1.'

'You're the player I want, don't you want to play in the Premier League?

I know you may be worried about joining a team midway through and getting in with your team-mates, going to an unfamiliar country and not being able to adapt to a new league, etc.

But I can guarantee that you will be given plenty of minutes and all the help you need off the pitch. ”

With Ligue 2 on one side and the Premier League on the other, the French still made a choice in the end.

Of course, N'Golo Kante says he was impressed by Benjamin's sincerity, not because Tottenham offered twice as much as he did in Caen.

Leaving France, Ben hurriedly flew to Austria without stopping.

Red Bull Salzburg is not bad for money, and it has nothing to do with Tottenham, so it will be difficult to get them to discount a little.

So Benjamin decided to have a good conversation with Mane.

For some reason, Benjamin had the feeling that Mane and Kante were very similar.

Mane also had a cheeky smile on his face.

But looking beyond the surface, I could have seen the desire in their hearts.

Hungry for victory, hungry for a bigger stage, hungry for championships.

It's almost the same opening statement, showing the other party their sincerity.

Mane was obviously a little moved, and the agent on the side kept giving him a look.

Only by transferring to the Premier League can Mane earn more, and he, as an agent, can also make more, right?

"Okay, but I'm not going to help you lower the price through strikes and boycotts, I hope you can give me a transfer fee that matches my value."

Phew, Benjamin let out a sigh of relief, smiling and shaking hands with Mane and his agent.

There was only Brazil left, but he really didn't have time to make a trip, so he had to go back to London first and think of something else.

Just when Benjamin had a headache, Tottenham's Brazilian midfielder Sandro found the door.

"I can help you convince Alisson."
