"Hey, Kane, how did you practice your scorpion tail swing? Who did you learn from? ”

On the second day's training ground, before today's training began, several English players gathered around Kane to ask about yesterday's goal.

The other players also pricked up their ears to "eavesdrop" on the sidelines.

"The boss asked me to watch Eevee's video to learn, but he helped me find a Chinese kung fu master to teach me martial arts and help me improve my body control and flexibility."

"Huaguo Kung Fu? Is Bruce Lee the kind? ”

"I prefer Jackie Cheng!"

Just like Rooney boxing and Ibrahimovic taekwondo, perhaps they just practiced it out of interest in their spare time.

But these are also sports, and they do help their football ability.

Kane, a professional athlete who has learned Chinese kung fu, is not the first case, and Jabbar, a former American professional league basketball player known as "Tiangou", learned Chinese kung fu under Bruce Lee.

Of course, the "master" that Benjamin found for Kane was not a Chinese, but an American.

It is said that he is the apprentice of Joe Lewis, who is proficient in karate and Jeet Kune Do, and the apprentice grandson of Bruce Lee.

That's right, Bruce Lee has an apprentice who happens to have the same name as Benjamin's grandfather, and they are all Joe Lewis.

Benjamin thought it was interesting, so he didn't look for anyone else, anyway, the real focus was not on him, but on the system's skill cards.

Unexpectedly, Kane's [Scorpion Tail Swing] goal attracted so much attention in the team.

"Ahem," Benjamin now drew everyone's attention to himself.

"It seems that everyone is quite interested, so be it, if you want to learn kung fu together, go to Floyd and sign up, and the coaching staff will rearrange training for you."

Benjamin thought about it for a moment and simply started another class.

"In addition to kung fu, yoga improves flexibility, meditation improves concentration, and these are also helpful for kicking football.

Let's join the electives, and I'll contact a professional coach.

In addition to the unified training arranged by the coaching staff every day, you will be given some freedom to choose according to your personal interests and wishes. ”

Anyway, it doesn't cost a lot of money to hire a coach in these areas, and as long as you can really improve the quality of the players a little bit, which is beneficial to Tottenham's results, it will not be a loss.

With all the big names knocked out of the tournament, Tottenham's prospects in the FA Cup are bright, and Benjamin's mood is much lighter.

After the victory over Everton, another ten points arrived, and the accumulated points reached one hundred and fourteen, and after thinking about it, Benjamin still bought an intermediate training card to renew it.

The training card is indeed a significant improvement for the overall training of the whole team.

On March 13, in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Europa League, Tottenham Hotspur hosted Benfica, the Portuguese Super League hegemon who fell from the Champions League group stage.

In the 30th minute, Ammorim made a long pass from the backfield, and Moreno burst into the penalty area after winning the ball and calmly pushed the goal, breaking the deadlock for Benfica.

In the 42nd minute, Amorim took a corner kick and central defender Louisson scrambled to score in front of the goal.

Tottenham, who came on as a full substitute, trailed Benfica 2-0 at half-time.

That is, Benjamin has been leading the team for a while, and Tottenham fans generally still recognize and trust him very much.

Otherwise, it would be strange if you didn't be scolded to death if you didn't admit defeat at home.

You must know that in this midweek Europa League game, the White Hart Lane stadium is full of more than 30,000 acts.

This can also be seen in Benjamin's excellent record after taking over, the scene is good, and the Tottenham fans are pulled back to the stadium.

However, today's game was a bit uncomfortable for them.

Benjamin sensed the mood of the fans, struggled again and again, and sighed helplessly.

'Eriksen, Kane and Mane, you go up in the second half and give me a rush.

Even if I can't equalize or overtake, at least score a goal or two for me to make the scene look a little better and make it worth the price for the fans. ”

The effect of changing three people in a row was immediate.

Sadio Mane's breakthrough down the left flank caught the visitors off guard and a foul by Silvio gave Tottenham a set-piece up front.

Eriksen's free-kick goes straight to the goal!

The nickname has spread among Tottenham fans, with the Dane not only passing the ball well, providing assists, but also a good set-piece standard.

Benfica, who had been pulled back by a goal, did not realize the seriousness of the problem and continued to play the tactics of the first half.

Eriksen splits to the left and Sadio Mane breaks through and crosses back to the middle.

Harry Kane slotted a shot into the far corner of the net against Luisson's marking, but Benfica goalkeeper Oblak couldn't make a save.

Two to two!

In the 65th minute of the game, Tottenham Hotspur equalized the score after falling behind by two goals!

And so the game came to an end, and in the 87th minute, Benfica had a free kick opportunity.

Garay's free-kick went straight past the wall and was saved by Lloris.

But the ball was not denied wide and the Tottenham goalkeeper was unable to block Luisson's close-range follow-up and the ball went in.

At 3-2, Benfica captain Luizon scored twice to help the team win away at Tottenham.

It was also his first brace for club and country in 14 years.

Benjamin can only smile bitterly at this, the opponent is super good, and he can't be blamed.

He was ready to draw at home and be eliminated away, but he didn't expect to lose at White Hart Lane in the end.

"With a defeat at home, Tottenham's hopes of promotion are already slim, can you explain why they put out such a starting line-up today?"

'I said before that some players play in the league and some players play in the cups, which is very reasonable.

Otherwise, playing on multiple fronts is a huge test of the players' fitness and I don't want to risk the players getting injured and sending them out. ”

"If Tottenham are eliminated from the Europa League, then the Premier League teams are in danger of being wiped out in the Europa League.

Some people say that the competitiveness of the Premier League teams has declined, is there anything you would like to say about that? ”

"First of all, we haven't eliminated yet, and although we have to go away in the next game, we don't necessarily have to lose.

In addition, I don't think we can afford to carry such a big banner as a Premier League team, even if we are eliminated, it is only our problem, why can it be related to the overall competitiveness of the Premier League?

Hehe, I don't want to say this to be fans of the Premier League, which is the only league in the big five leagues that doesn't have a winter break.

The schedule is intense, the competition is fierce, the players and coaches do not get a little rest, and the multi-front battle tests everyone's mental and physical condition.

The biggest reason why Premier League teams don't perform well in Europe is that it's too much internal friction, and I'm just an ordinary manager, so there's nothing I can do about it. ”

"And what about the next round of the league? Against city rivals again, will Tottenham be confident of beating Arsenal at home? ”

'Of course, against the derby, I think every player will be full of fighting spirit and give 100 per cent.

I'm confident I can beat the Gunners at White Hart Lane, they've not been in a lot of consistency lately, have they? ”
