Townsend looked at the manager with burning eyes, quietly waiting for Benjamin's reply.

Benjamin pondered for a moment and said:

"I understand your appeal, but I can't give you any guarantees.

Now there are two options, one is to let me see your change in the next game.

Only if you fully obey my tactical requirements, like Lamela did, and perform better than him, then I will consider giving you more chances.

The other is to stay with the club until the winter window, or at the end of the season, and if there is a suitable offer, I can keep the club from leaving.

The premise is that you have to train hard while you stay with the team and you can do your best on the pitch.

Otherwise, I'll be in the forefront, and you'll be ready to stay in the reserve until the end of your contract. ”

Obviously, neither of these townsenders really wanted to choose, and he began to struggle with it.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with me playing. Didn't Bale play like this before? ”

"Heh, what are you kicking? Even if the ball is broken with a belt, if it is not broken, it will be kicked outside the penalty area, right?

You're having a great time, but do you see the results?

How many goals can you score in a season? How many goals can you score with that many shots in one game?

If you pass the ball to Kane, how many do you think he can score?

Really give you that many balls, what can you give the team in return?

You know it's Bell, what do you compare to him? Do you really think you're Tottenham's new Bale?

In that case, Bale went to Real Madrid for 100 million, and if anyone is willing to spend 50 million to buy you, I will immediately ask the club to pack you and send you over overnight.

I am proud and complacent when I have made a small achievement, and I don't know how thick the sky is.

See for yourself what kind of car you drove before, what kind of car Kante drove.

I'll be blunt, you don't even contribute a third of what Kante does.

That's right, you're a Tottenham academy, you're a youth academy in your country, and you can go up a little bit in the Premier League, and if you go to other leagues, what level of teams will want you?

The pace and dribbling you are proud of are not in the Premier League, but are you now in the top three in the team?

Have you ever thought about why everyone else is improving, and you are standing still?

I've always hoped that you could figure it out for yourself, you're only twenty-three, and it's still too late to start working again.

Judging from your conversation with me today, unfortunately, there has been no progress at all. ”

Maybe Benjamin didn't say a good thing, but he was telling the truth, and if Townsend could figure it out, maybe it would be a good thing for him.

If Townsend had worked a little harder, not indulged in pleasure and focused on the field, the achievement would have been much greater.

Not to mention becoming a world-class winger, at least creating 20 goals for the team every season is not too much pressure.

It's a pity that there is no what if, and Benjamin, as the head coach of the team, has said everything that should be said and what should not be said.

However, it seems that Townsend did not appreciate his kindness.

"I ......"

"Okay, you go back and think about it, don't rush to make a decision."

Looking at Townsend who had lost his soul and turned to leave, Benjamin sighed.

He is in charge of Tottenham and has feelings for the original players in the Tottenham spur squad.

Otherwise, he could have used his foresight to replace the whole team with better players.

But in addition to considering the problems of running in and adapting, Benjamin still hopes that with his help, some players who have gone down the wrong path and stagnated can get back on track.

There is no need for another Bale and Kane, and a few young men can become better themselves, and it will not be in vain for his hard work.

"Alas, it seems that everyone's upbringing, although it seems to be full of accidents, is inevitable."

Many players who are considered to have squandered their talents, failed to reach the heights they should have, and failed to transform their potential into strength, in fact, are fundamentally due to their own reasons.

The influence of outsiders is minimal, even if you change the environment and change the team, it will still work, and it will not work.

It's like a piece of really thinks it's running to other places, isn't it? How is it possible, it's too naïve.

On October 30, in the League Cup quarter-finals, Tottenham played Brighton at home.

Benjamin made an impromptu change of formation despite the objections of the coaching staff.

The Lily Legion lined up a three-five-two starting formation today.

Bam Adebayo and Son Heung-min are the two forwards.

Left wing-back Ben Davies, right wing-back Joao Cancelo, midfielders Sandro, Mason and Milinkovic.

The three centre-backs are Caboul and Demichelis, as well as youngster Harry Maguire and goalkeeper Alisson.

Entering the squad, Townsend, who had the opportunity to start, sat on the bench and didn't know what was going on in his mind at the moment.

There was not much to say about the game against Brighton, although Tottenham's formation changed temporarily, but the strength was superior in the end, pressing the visitors from the start.

Except for a few players who were not familiar with the new formation at the beginning, there were some confusions, and they were quickly adjusted.

Milinkovic broke the ball and crossed and Mason's shot from outside the box went just wide of the post.

Tottenham then quickly made a comeback, this time with Mason's pass and Bam Adebayor receiving the ball in the opposition box.

The Togolese deftly slid past a Brighton defender and fired a volley into the net.

1-0, the goal came as scheduled.

Tottenham, who took the lead, were a little more excited than before.

Before the end of the first half, Cancelo crossed from the side, Adebayo missed the ball in front of the post, and Son Heung-min, who answered at the back post, scored with his right foot.

Returned to the locker room with a 2-0 lead.

Benjamin told Townsend with practical actions that he was nothing, and without him, Tottenham would still win easily.

It doesn't matter if you change to a formation that has never been practiced at the last minute, as long as every player on the pitch can play according to the manager's arrangement.

Of course, if the opponent is stronger, it will definitely not work to play like this, and the opponent of Brighton's level is just right.

And Benjamin has enough confidence, even if he loses this game, it doesn't matter, so he can rest assured that he can change the formation on the spot like a bold joke.

In the second half, the home side continued to control the initiative on the pitch and the Seagulls seemed to have given up on resistance.

In the 72nd minute of the game, Benjamin was replaced by Bentaleb and Akanji in succession, delaying the time and giving them a taste of the game.

That's when the mishap struck, as Brighton seized the opportunity for the young Swiss centre-back to take on the pitch.

A through ball from midfielder Hora was cut in at high speed by Lualua to break through the Tottenham defence!

With Akanji trailing behind, Caboul and Demichelis failed to create an offside position, which was a good goal!

The Brighton striker hesitated to face Alisson and fired a flimsy shot into the far corner.

Fortunately, the ball was not fast, and Tottenham goalkeeper Alisson flew in time to save the ball.

Although they didn't concede a goal, Brighton's attack came close to pulling a point back.

When you play with a back three, the ability of the three defenders is one thing, and the degree of tacit understanding is also very important.

Benjamin thought that if he wanted to add a defender to partner with Vertonghen and Alderweireld, who would be more suitable?

The Belgian combination is just two people, one is a left-footed central defender who can also play left-back, the other is a right-footed center-back who can play right-back, and a strong interception and tackle ability in the middle should be good.

"Beep! Beep! Beep-"

At full-time, Tottenham beat Championship side Brighton 2-0 at home to advance to the next round of the League Cup.

'We noticed that you had a different back three today, why did that?'
