Chapter 105: The Fastest Goal
Benjamin is not surprised that this will be the result.
It also has to do with the personalities of the three of them and the specific situation.
Dembele is twenty-seven years old, how many years can he have left in his career?
At this time, take the risk to change the technology, who knows what the result will be?
It's better to be on the safe side, and it's not bad for him to play a rotation at Tottenham anyway.
And the problem of many injuries has clearly improved the Belgian after Benjamin's coaching.
He was already satisfied with the status quo.
As for Lamela, it has to do with his personality.
Don't look at the Argentine who is sometimes hot on the field, he is actually an introverted player.
Especially after a bizarre hip injury that followed, Lamela was completely reduced to a substitute.
Playing as a substitute at Tottenham for six seasons, Lamela has never caused trouble.
It's a rare thing to get, but at the same time, you can see that the Argentine's personality is not the same as what he shows on the pitch.
On the other hand, Sandro can only say that the Brazilian still has a bit of a demand for himself.
Now Benjamin can't say who is right in their respective choices, everything can only be left to time.
It is ultimately them who bear the consequences of their choices.
"Then please!"
"Don't worry, it's what I do best."
Craig's arrival was just a minor episode and had little impact on the vast majority of Tottenham players.
The day after Christmas, Tottenham Hotspur travelled to the 18th round of the Premier League against Leicester City.
Considering that the game with Manchester United was only one day apart, Benjamin didn't care about complaining about the FA's strange arrangement, so he could only find a way to make a certain rotation.
At the King Power Stadium, the home side's striker Ulloa scored a goal, but Benjamin's side beat them 2-1 thanks to goals from substitutes Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen.
In the end, Tottenham Hotspur won away at Leicester City to continue to lead the table.
Just one day later, the Lilies are back at home and awaiting the challenge of the Red Devils at Wembley.
Not to mention the players, the head coach Benjamin, who doesn't need to play on the pitch, is deeply tired.
On 28 December, Benjamin led Tottenham to their final game of 2014.
In the 19th round of the English Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur faced Manchester United at Wembley Stadium.
Despite the historical record of Manchester United, the Lilies have not lost to the Red Devils since Benjamin took over.
Before the start of the game, a moment of silence was held in memory of the recently deceased Tottenham legend Ron Henry.
Thierry Henry was part of the legendary Tottenham side led by Bill Nicholson in the '60s, who won the League One and FA Cup double in 1961.
In addition to winning the double in 1961, Thierry Henry's side defended the FA Cup in 1962 and the European Cup Winners' Cup the following year.
Thierry Henry, who played as a left-back as a player, dedicated his entire career to Tottenham, playing for the north London side from 1952 to 1966, making 247 league appearances and scoring one goal.
The Tottenham legend passed away this Saturday, yesterday, at the age of 80.
Once the game began, Tottenham and Manchester United were engaged in a fierce battle in midfield.
United's Falcao and Robin van Persie squandered chances in quick succession, and Kane's shot was brilliantly denied by David De Gea.
At the end of the first half, the two teams still failed to score, and the score was still 0-0.
At half-time, Benjamin, who was supposed to scold the players, showed mercy, and he could see that the players were not in good shape.
In the second half, United were the first to make a substitution, with Rafael coming on in place of Valencia.
It was clear to the crowd that the pace of the second half had slowed down.
This is naturally due to the fact that both teams are being dragged down by a busy schedule for Christmas.
Unable to open the game for a long time, Benjamin also used the last goal card left of the month.
Eriksen pulls a cross down the right and Harry Kane shakes off McNair's diving header in the box!
1 to 0!
Tottenham scored first and broke the deadlock on the pitch!
Then it wasn't long before Juan Mata also sent in a cross from the right and Van Persie scored with a beautiful volley in front of goal!
One-to-one! United stubbornly equalised.
In the end, Chef Fan's Manchester United drew 1-1 with top-of-the-table Tottenham at Wembley Stadium, with both sides taking one point each.
Despite the end of the winning streak, Benjamin's fourteen-game winning streak in the league with Tottenham still broke the club's all-time record.
At the same time, more than halfway through the Premier League schedule, Tottenham Hotspur, which has 17 wins and two draws, remains at the top of the table with 53 points.
Chelsea and Manchester City are in second and third place with 43 points, which is 10 points behind the Lily.
In other words, as long as Tottenham does not drop the chain, the probability of success in defending the title is still very high.
Although 2014 did not end with a victory, no one can say that Benjamin's work in this year was unsuccessful.
Three titles, one win after another, Champions League qualification and the top of the Premier League are things that Tottenham fans never imagined.
Before the arrival of the new year, Benjamin conducted a final draw.
[Congratulations on obtaining the skill card: Beckham's Full Moon Scimitar!] 】
Beckham's famous stunt, also known as the Beckham arc, is characterized by a large arc, fast speed and accurate landing point in the air.
It's finally shipping again!
Although, does it have anything to do with this drawing and Xiaobei coming to watch the game live today?
As we all know, as a native of London, heartthrob David Beckham was influenced by his grandfather as a child, but he was a die-hard Tottenham fan.
So it's no surprise that he came to watch Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur live.
Benjamin hasn't figured out who this skill card is better for the time being, so let's put it away first.
Tottenham played their first game of 2015 at Wembley on 1 January.
In the 20th round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur played Chelsea at home.
It's been less than a month since they last met, and the second round is back in the spotlight.
Benjamin's side, who beat Jose Mourinho's Chelsea 2-1 a month ago, are back at home and certainly won't be able to accept anything other than a win.
It's only been three days since the last game, and today the test for both teams is not only technical and tactical, but also physical.
Jose Mourinho fielded a starting line-up that was almost identical to the previous time against Tottenham, with the exception of Diego Costa, who had returned from suspension, to replace Didier Drogba.
The Blues' 11 players have played almost all of the games since the start of the season.
Ignoring the Champions League and just looking at the league, Hazard, Terry, Cahill and Ivanovic have all started 20 of their 20 Premier League games.
In contrast, Benjamin regularly rotates players based on their physical condition.
This also makes Tottenham quietly have the upper hand in places that outsiders do not notice.
At 17:30 p.m., the game started on time.
Wembley Stadium, which can accommodate 80,000 people, was largely full today.
Amid the shouts of tens of thousands of home supporters, Tottenham launched the first attack of the game.
Danny Ross broke down the left and passed the ball, Harry Kane cut inside to get rid of Oscar and dribbled sideways to the outside of the penalty area and fired a powerful right-footed shot into the bottom left corner of the goal!
Kurtur stood in front of goal like a fool and didn't react.
It's not just him, there are a lot of spectators who haven't had time to find their seats before Tottenham take the lead!
1 to 0!
Kane scored the first goal of the game less than ten seconds after the game started!
The goal in the eighth second of the opening game also broke the record for the fastest goal in the 27-year history of the Premier League.
Prior to that, Tottenham Hotspur had also held the position for the fastest goal in the Premier League, with former Tottenham captain Ledley King scoring in just 9.82 seconds against Bradford in 2000/01.
And today, Kane has broken a record that has been in the dust for nearly fifteen years.
It was also the Englishman's fifteenth league goal of the season!
Behind him were Sergio Aguero and Diego Costa, who each scored thirteen goals.
Wembley was jubilant, and a wave of white people was stirring up.
