Chapter Seventy-Six: The FIFA Virus Strikes

Two to one!

Tottenham Hotspur overtook the scoreline!

Liverpool tried to equalise the score, but repeated attacks were in vain.

In the end, Tottenham Hotspur beat Liverpool 2-1 at Wembley to clear up three points.

Liverpool, on the other hand, lost 3-1 at Manchester City in their last game and lost to Tottenham Hotspur for two consecutive defeats.

Rogers' face was rather ugly, and he didn't even react to Benjamin's handshake in the past.

When Liverpool were at the top of the table last season, Rodgers was repeatedly accused by the Liverpool Echo and other media that he would only rely on Suarez, an efficient Uruguayan goalscorer, for the game.

While the Scots have always emphasised that Liverpool are a whole, they are a team, Suarez would not have been able to achieve so much without the help of others.

But after Suarez's departure this season, Liverpool won one and lost two of the three Premier League rounds, and the record was not satisfactory.

There is no doubt that after today, the outside world's doubts about Rogers will definitely become louder.

'Apart from Chelsea and Swansea, you've won all three league games, so what are your thoughts on this season? Are you confident that you will succeed in defending your title? ”

At the end of the third round of the 14-15 Premier League season, Jose Mourinho's Chelsea won all three games and topped the table with seven goal difference.

Benjamin's team is in second place, and it is surprising that Swan City Swansea has also accumulated nine points to beat Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and other Premier League giants.

Monk, who has been a player and head coach before retiring, has really done a good job at Swansea so far.

"Of course, I and the players are hoping to win the league again.

However, given that we still have Champions League games ahead of us this season, we have set the goal of keeping the top four. ”

Tottenham have made a number of signings this summer, with the exception of Joao Cancelo, who started in place of suspended Walker in the last round of the league, none of the other new signings have yet to start.

Can you tell us when they will be able to start for the team? ”

"It takes a while for new players to settle in and I decide who will start based on the form of each player.

But I think you'll see them coming out as regular players soon. ”

……

BBC: "The defending champions were impressive, Christian Eriksen was outstanding, Lewis's side proved they still have what it takes to win the title, and Rodgers needs to figure it out. ”

Sky Sports: "Tottenham played beautifully at Wembley Stadium, coming back from 2-1 to win.

Balotelli made his Premier League debut for Liverpool but missed three chances to score. ”

Tottenham's victory didn't make any waves, just a very ordinary Premier League game.

Then came the two-week international break, with Tottenham internationals leaving the squad to report for the national team.

Hodgson had previously resigned due to his poor World Cup performance, and was replaced by another veteran English coach who was already in charge of West Ham, Sam Allardyce.

Gareth Southgate, who only left his post as head of development at the English Football Association last year to coach England Under-21s, is not yet in the driver's seat as national team manager.

Hodgson has also said many times in recent interviews that some young people do not know how to respect their predecessors.

This is undoubtedly criticizing Benjamin, and even Harry Kane has received some criticism, and many media outlets think he is a flash in the pan.

Benjamin didn't bother to respond to this, the facts will tell.

Winning a football game is winning, losing is losing, and if he leads the team to the results of shit, he has no shame to rely on the position of the head coach of the international team.

"Harry, go to the national team this time to give me a good performance, and hit those who don't know how to play in the face!"

A friendly match between England and Norway was played at Wembley on 3 September.

Big Sam's Three Lions debut was not smooth, obviously stronger than his opponents, but he couldn't open the situation for a long time.

It wasn't until the second half that Townsend and Harry Kane came off the bench, plus Kyle Walker, who started the game, had a total of three England players playing for Tottenham.

Walker and Townsend combined on the right flank to play the ball near the baseline, and finally Walker crossed into the box.

Harry Kane turns around in the box and volleys with his right foot!

In the end, thanks to Kane's only goal of the game, the England national team won a hard-fought home victory.

Five days later, the Three Lions travelled to a European Championship qualifier against Switzerland.

Kane finally won his first start for the national team.

Raheem Sterling and Lambert provided the assists in both halves respectively, with Harry Kane netting twice to give England a 2-0 victory.

'Kane is a very hard working lad and I'm happy for him because he's the best successor for me.

He said he wanted to be the top scorer in the Premier League and I think he can do it, but I also hope he can break the national team's goal record as well.

He put a lot of effort into it, and he deserved it. ”

After the game, Three Lions captain Wayne Rooney spoke highly of his young striker partner.

It can be seen that Lu Xiaopang is very happy that the national team has a reliable teammate.

However, when the players who participated in the national team games returned to the club one after another, Benjamin had a headache.

"Well done! What do you think? What is it like to play for your country and score goals? ”

"Excellent! Especially after Wembley scored and felt the cheers of the whole stadium, it was a great feeling! ”

Here Benjamin was chatting with Kane, who had just finished his physical examination, and Bruno was walking over with the results with a frown.

Looking at the head coach Benjamin who was in a good mood, Bruno stopped talking.

"What's wrong? What's the situation? ”

"The Belgian centre-back has played two games, his fitness is already red, and Walker, Kane are not much better......

After being silent for a while, Benjamin could only sigh helplessly and say:

"Let them rest for the next game, after all, Bayern Munich is going to be played in midweek."

On September 13, 2014, in the fourth round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur played away against Black Cat Sunderland.

Affected by the FIFA virus and the upcoming Champions League match, the Lily Army was forced to make a major rotation adjustment in personnel.

'It doesn't seem like it's a good thing to have too many internationals in the squad.

The only thing to be thankful for is that no one was injured, Benjamin looked at the main players in the team who were not in good physical condition, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Kaboul and Demichelis rotated their starters, with left-back Danny Rose not competing for Baines in the national team, so not playing is good news.

N'Golo Kante and Ousmanuel Dembele were selected for the national team but did not get much playing time and continued to start.

Christian Eriksen also played almost the full two international games, and although he was in good shape, Benjamin put Frank Lampard in the starting XI for the sake of safety.

In the winger position, Sadio Mane, Son Heung-min, Lamela and Townsend all played for the national team.

Benjamin could only be selected to return to London after only one game, and Son Heung-min and Lamela, who were in relatively better physical condition, started the game.

Goalkeeper Lloris, striker Adebayo.
