Chapter 109: The North London Derby in the Cold Wind
With the manager's approval, Tottenham's transfer department immediately got to work.
You must know that Manchester United, Liverpool and other teams are also paying close attention to Ali, and there are even rumors that Bayern are interested in him.
Liverpool were very close to getting Ali at one point, as Ali himself said he had always been a Liverpool fan and that Steven Gerrard was his idol.
However, they are all positioned as young players with potential for Ali.
Only Benjamin knew that this kid could be used if he brought it.
In these years, even if you spend 30 or 50 million, you may not be able to buy a midfielder who can play double ten in the Premier League.
Not to mention that this is still a household registration book, so you can't buy it at a loss, and you can't be fooled.
It's a big deal to buy it and use it for two or three years, and when his highlights are over, he will sell him tens of millions of dollars, and who doesn't like to do a sure deal.
So Tottenham Hotspur used the opportunity to play to get Dele Ali's favor.
After Tottenham spent £5 million on a transfer fee, Alli became one of them.
However, the Englishman, who is not yet 19 years old, will be sent back to Milton Keynes Dons on loan until the end of the season before joining Tottenham.
"Alas......"
Benjamin sighed, he did what he could, but not every player understands his hard work as Kane does.
This may be the reason why Kane's achievements in the future are a notch higher than all the other players at Tottenham.
I don't know if I can change Ali's future, anyway, the English will be useful for the next two or three seasons.
Who knows what will happen after that.
……
It's been a week since the last game, and it seems like it's been a long time since the Tottenham players had been rested for such a long time.
The entire Tottenham squad is in good physical condition with no players out injured.
The only one who is a little special is Sandro, who has begun to correct his bad playing habits after Craig's help and guidance.
In addition to the day-to-day training, the Brazilian midfielder has to make difficult technical adjustments on his own.
There is no shortcut, only through repetition over and over again, forcibly reversing one's muscle memory.
Therefore, watching him play football now will feel particularly awkward, the people watching him are awkward, and he himself is awkward.
If nothing else, he won't be featured in important games until the Brazilian has made technical adjustments.
A lot of people in the team also didn't understand his choice, but Sandro was adamant.
"I don't want to go back to Brazil like this, I want to make a name for myself in the Premier League.
I want to prove myself at Tottenham and I'm still the Brazilian midfielder with high expectations! ”
Benjamin is very pleased with this, he is not afraid that his players are ambitious, but he is afraid that they will not have fighting spirit.
For example, if Ali can be as persevering and ambitious as Sandro, instead of lying down and rotting after becoming famous, maybe he can still be saved.
'Arsenal have been in great form lately, they have won five in a row in all competitions.
The key point is in their midfield, with Dog scoring in quick succession and a brilliant performance, and tomorrow at Wembley we have to find a way to seal him out.
Now let's announce the squad for tomorrow's game......"
On Saturday 7 February 2015, the second leg of this season's north London derby will be played at Wembley Stadium, home of Tottenham Hotspur.
"Thank you for sending talent to the England national team."
"That's so kind, and I also hope that our national team can make a breakthrough in the competition!"
Before the game, Benjamin chatted with the head coach of the England national team, Sam Allardyce, who came to watch the game.
Big Sam, who succeeded Roy Hodgson as Three Lions boss, feels the pressure on the position.
Fortunately, with more than a year to go until the European Championships, England will not even be able to pass the qualifiers.
So for now, Allardyce is not under pressure to get out of class.
But everyone knows what the media and fans in England are like, and there are people who scold them for winning.
Today, I came to watch the north London derby, nominally to inspect the players, but in fact to relax.
At 12:45 p.m., the 24th focus game of the 14-15 Premier League season, Tottenham's home match against Arsenal started on time.
Not to mention that the commercial promotion of the Premier League is the best, in order to take care of the fans in Asia to watch the game, he even moved the game time to noon.
Tottenham, on the other hand, has signed two sponsors from Huaguo, coupled with an excellent record and good game scenes, and its popularity and number of fans in China are growing day by day.
The FA's arrangement can be said to be quite intimate.
For Arsenal, Alexis Sanchez was sidelined through injury and the recovered Welbeck replaced Theo Walcott.
Tottenham did not have this problem and played with all the main players.
Benjamin's side started the game with a diagonal pass from Dembele and Harry Kane's curling shot into the bottom right corner of the box was saved by Arsenal goalkeeper Ospina.
The Colombian who gave up his life to save the ball collapsed in pain in front of the goal, looking injured.
Fortunately, after a simple treatment by the team doctor, it was not a big problem and I was able to continue playing.
Eriksen received a cross shot from Mane and fired a cold arrow, which was blocked by Ospina, who was quick to react.
Tottenham's corner kick was headed in by Dembele at the edge of the box, which was barely saved by the Arsenal goalkeeper.
But the crisis has not yet been resolved!
Kane slotted home from a tight angle before the visiting defenders cleared the ball!
1 to 0!
Tottenham took the lead in the eleventh minute of the game!
Although the temperature in London is above zero today, the weather is still gloomy.
A gust of wind blew, and Wenger, who was not young, still couldn't bear it, and wrapped the down jacket on his body tightly.
Professor Arsene Wenger stood on the sidelines with an old face, his hands unconsciously reaching into the pockets of his down jacket.
As a result, I didn't aim it once, and I repeated it several times before I managed to reach into the warm pocket.
It can be seen that after Arsenal conceded a goal at the beginning of the game and fell behind, the Gunners manager was a little uneasy.
There was a gap on the right side of Bellerin's defence and Danny Ross broke through to the left side of the box and fired a powerful shot that was saved by Ospina.
Sadio Mane then fired a follow-up shot that grazed the far post and went wide.
Tottenham continued to press on the home side, which made the mentality of the players on the pitch a bit unbalanced for the arch-rivals.
Monreal, Welbeck, Koscielny and Ramsey were booked for fouls.
Eriksen's through ball was met by Lamela's downed tackle into the box.
During Arsenal's counter-attack, Welbeck was tackled by Danny Ross and Heibei brought down the Tottenham full-back on the wing and almost received a second yellow card.
Referee Martin Atkinson showed mercy, only for the Arsenal winger to give a verbal warning.
As the first half drew to a close, Tottenham slowed down.
That's when Arsenal seized the opportunity!
Welbeck crossed the ball from the right side, Giroud received the ball and did it, and the unmarked dog went straight into the penalty area and volleyed the ball into the goal at the first time!
One-to-one!
Before half-time, Arsenal seized on Tottenham's lax and equalised!
Benjamin walked into the tunnel with a black face.
