The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 601 Who is the leader?
In the first round of Tottenham Hotspur's UEFA Champions League group match, while the seven goals at home slammed Braga, the performances of the Premier League teams in Europe have also been freshly released. Barcelona beat Panathinaik 5:1 at home. Chelsea defeated Slovakia's Zilina team 4:1 away, which is the weakest team among the top 32 teams in the Champions League this season.

There was also a big upset in the group stage, that is, Manchester United suffered a 0-0 home draw against Glasgow Rangers.

But Ferguson obviously didn't do his best in this game. Not only did the starting trident not play, but even Vidic, Evra and other players in the defense were not played. The midfielders Sneijder, Carrick and La Si Diarra didn't play even one of them, which led to Manchester United's weak attack, and there were also many problems in defense.

For Manchester United's rotation, Ye Qiu is very clear, because they will face a key battle at the weekend, Liverpool.

Benitez's Liverpool has no pressure from the Champions League this season, or even European pressure, so they don't need to worry about two-line combat at all, and because of this, Ferguson is so nervous and important, because the Spanish fat man's ability has always been All worrying.

As Ye Qiu said when he mentioned Benitez and Liverpool to Ferguson at the beginning of the season, Liverpool has always been a team that pays great attention to mental strength. It has been like this since the boot room culture back then. There was a collapse during the Ness period, and the history of the Premier League will not become what it is now.

Benitez is also very strange, he is also a head coach who emphasizes overall cooperation, and if you want to twist everyone in the team into one rope, mental strength is indispensable, and Benitez is the most admirable What's more, he was able to train some seemingly weak technical players into tough-minded Jagged Legionnaires.

Just like Juan Mata, David Villa and Harvey Martinez who joined Liverpool this season, these three players quickly integrated into Liverpool's tactical system and formed a team with Torres. Liverpool's Spanish team, and in this game against Manchester United, showed a strong strength and a strong desire to win.

Benitez's on-the-spot command ability was once again reflected in this game against Manchester United. Rooney's two goals in the first half completely put Liverpool into a desperate situation, but Benitez passed in the second half. After the adjustment, Liverpool tied Manchester United with two goals scored by Gerrard.

But at the critical moment, it was Ferguson's trusted trident combination that won a chance for Manchester United in the frontcourt. Rooney did not miss the great opportunity and scored the winning lore for Manchester United. At the same time, he also staged a hat-trick for himself .

For Benitez and his Liverpool, although this defeat is a glorious one, at least they can achieve this kind of situation with Manchester United at Old Trafford. It's quite good, after all, even now, they haven't run into the best condition yet.

Compared to Manchester United's thrilling victory, Chelsea did not have any danger. With Drogba's one pass and one shot, they defeated the newly promoted Blackpool with four goals at home, and this battle ushered in Ancelotti's Chelsea's start. While winning, it has also achieved amazing results.

Scoring 21 goals in five games and only conceding one goal, such a report card is undoubtedly shocking for Chelsea, because this is not only the strongest offense and the strongest defense in the Premier League, but also placed in the top four in Europe. In the league, that is also second to none, so almost the entire European media has started a round of praise for Chelsea.

Many commentators believe that Ancelotti will usher in Chelsea's golden age, and even have the opportunity to lead Chelsea to create a more brilliant offensive football storm than Ye Qiu's back then. Ye Qiu's remarks about Chelsea's impossibility to win the championship before the season were also criticized. A lot of criticism and ridicule from the malicious media think that he is more out of jealousy.

But if you want to talk about jealousy, it is really unnecessary, because Tottenham Hotspur also defeated Wolves with four goals in this round, and continued to maintain the pressure on the leader Chelsea.

After finishing the fifth round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur ushered in the third knockout round of the League Cup at White Hart Lane. Cup's first strong dialogue.

However, in the eyes of England fans, this is more like a direct confrontation between Tottenham Hotspur and the Arsenal youth army.

The headline in The Times is, Tottenham Hotspur II VS Arsenal II!
"This is a game that will be broadcast live to the whole world. You will be facing the best team in the Premier League and even Europe, so you must play with 12 points. At the same time, to your opponents, And to everyone, show your strength, let all the fans who come to White Hart Lane and sit in front of the TV remember the name on the back of your jersey!"

This is in the locker room before the game. The head coach Ye Qiu made a mobilization appeal to this group of young Tottenham Hotspur players. He emphasized to all the fans more than once that this game is very important, but in addition On the one hand, he has a full bench lineup in this game.

But it can be said that, just as Ye Qiu has always emphasized, "I understand your strength better than the reporters outside who think that we have given up the game. They think that I arranged for you to play because we gave up this opportunity. A game, but I know it very well, because I believe you can win!"

Arsenal also did not play in the main lineup in this game, including Wilshere, including Denilson, Vela, Rosicky and others all appeared in the starting lineup, which made Arsenal almost appear as a pure substitute lineup. White Hart Lane Stadium.

Ye Qiu's starting lineup for this game is Courtois the goalkeeper, Alba, Nastasic, Varane and Kyle Walker in the defense, Ramsey, Phil? Jones and Pogba, the frontcourt is an attacking combination of Coutinho, Neymar and Eden Hazard.

Perhaps it was affected by the pre-match media publicity and hype, or the head coaches of both sides hoped to win such a derby that would affect the future successor of the team, so after the game started, both sides played very fiercely , but Tottenham Hotspur took advantage of the start and home court advantage, and played against Arsenal as soon as they came up.

When Coutinho got the ball on the left, cut in diagonally, trying to penetrate the Arsenal defense, Neymar ran from the center, and when the two crossed, Coutinho knocked the ball with his heel. After receiving the ball, the latter turned quickly, facing the left, and blocked Arsenal's central defender Koscielny with his body.

At this time, Alba rushed past Neymar at the fastest speed, and I believe that at this moment, both Eboue and Koscielny just felt that the ball under Neymar's feet had already reached Alba. The Spaniard rushed forward quickly and made a low pass directly before the baseline.

The speed of this pass was very fast. It crossed half of the field and landed on the right post of the goal. Hazard threw away Gibbs, stabbed in front of the goal, and pierced Arsenal's goal, 1:0. !

After scoring the goal, Hazard rushed away from all the teammates blocking the way, rushed all the way to the bottom of the stands of Tottenham Hotspur fans, and celebrated his first goal of the new season with forgetfulness, Although it is only a goal in the League Cup, it is also worthy of joy and celebration.

The Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stands were also chanting Hazard's name!

Although, most of the fans who came to White Hart Lane tonight usually look down on the league and the Champions League. Because of the low ticket prices of the League Cup and FA Cup, they came to White Hart Lane. The enthusiasm of Tottenham Hotspur, their familiarity and understanding of this team, and the atmosphere of the game they created, are not lost to the league at all.

Hazard was a rising star of Tottenham Hotspur last season. Although he is temporarily unable to compare with superstars such as Ribery and Messi, the strength of the Belgian winger also makes him Much to be desired, his progress at Tottenham has seen him attract the attention of top clubs such as Real Madrid.

But Hazard has repeatedly stated that he only wants to play for Tottenham because he feels he can succeed in this team, and he also hopes to help this team get more honors .

As Ye Qiu said before, England fans highly respect loyalty and hard work, so Hazard is very popular among fans.

After opening the scoring, Arsenal made adjustments and gradually gained a foothold. After all, Arsenal's substitute lineup and young players are also very good, such as Eboue, the former main players, and Koscielny, There is also Carlos Vela, and Wilshere, and on the right is Lansbury, who performed very well after going on loan to Watford last season.

It is precisely because of such an excellent youth training team that Wenger dared to proudly respond to some remarks made by UEFA President Michel Platini about Arsenal. Beat Chelsea.

Wenger's greatest strength is Arsenal's group of youth teams that span the Premier League.

But this time Tottenham Hotspur is obviously going to challenge Arsenal's young guards as the king. In Ye Qiu's words, if the young rookies in the past can be counted as the fig leaf for Arsenal's many years without a championship, then this time , he will use this game to expose Arsenal's last fig leaf!
Ye Qiu's remarks before the game obviously stimulated the players, and after scoring a goal in the first few minutes of the game, this group of young players from Tottenham Hotspur immediately launched a round of wolves against Arsenal. Another round of onslaught.

No. In the 304th minute, the furiously attacking Tottenham Hotspur finally scored again. Ramsey took the ball and sent a sharp through ball. Arsenal originally wanted to cause offside, but left The cooperation between the young player Gibbs and the two central defenders was not tacit enough, and he was dragged to the end. As a result, Neymar easily received Ramsey's through ball, forming a single-handedly, facing the attacking goalkeeper Fabianski , Calmly pushed and scored, 2:0!

However, Tottenham Hotspur's group of crazy teenagers still have no intention of restraining themselves. Before the end of the first half, Arsenal's defense made another mistake. Gibbs on the right was defended by Hazard. The Belgian teenager easily achieved a breakthrough. The latter entered the penalty area from the right side of the penalty area. After attracting Julu, the ball was given to Pogba who inserted in the back.

The 17-year-old teenager from France swung his right foot and hit a powerful volley, blasting Fabianski's goal again, 3:0!

The outstanding performance of this group of young teenagers from Tottenham Hotspur made the Tottenham Hotspur fans who came to White Hart Lane very happy, and they all sang Tottenham Hotspur in the stands with joy. Tottenham's team anthem, chanting the names of the players on the pitch, they obviously know every player like the back of their hands.

Consecutive goals soared the morale of Tottenham Hotspur, but at the same time it completely damaged the morale of Arsenal.

In the second half, Tottenham Hotspur's offensive remained unabated, still launched a fierce attack on Arsenal, and successively relied on the corner kicks of Neymar and Eriksson who came off the bench to assist Nastasic to score , In the end Tottenham Hotspur beat Arsenal 5-0 at home and successfully advanced to the next round!
This direct contest between the Tottenham Hotspur youth team and the Arsenal youth team finally ended with a complete victory for Tottenham Hotspur, and the most impressive performance in the game is undoubtedly the Brazilian genius Mal.

Neymar has joined Tottenham Hotspur many years ago, but due to the regulations of the Brazilian Football Association, he is not allowed to leave the country before he is full, so Neymar has been on loan in Brazil, and his performance in the Brazilian league, Tottenham Hotspur Fans of Tenham Hotspur have also been paying attention.

This summer, when Tottenham Hotspur announced that they would recall two Brazilian players, including Neymar and Coutinho, all Tottenham Hotspur fans were looking forward to the performance of these two players. If Coutinho performed even better in the preseason, then Neymar, who scored twice in this game, became the most dazzling star in the game, and even completely overwhelmed Arsenal's push. Rookie Wilshere.

Not only Neymar, Ramsey, Pogba, Coutinho, Eriksson and others who came off the bench later, also performed very eye-catchingly in this game. Among them, Ramsey is already a member of the first team. Old faces, Pogba was one of the team's best rookies last season, and Eriksson also performed well in Ajax last season.

This group of outstanding young players gathered in the first team of Tottenham Hotspur, which made the rejuvenation of Tottenham Hotspur go smoothly. Everyone was a little bit worried about Ye Qiu's rejuvenation strategy before, but through In this game, I believe everyone will no longer doubt the strength of the Tottenham Hotspur youth team.

The five-goal victory over Arsenal at home made the young rookies of Tottenham Hotspur resound all over the world overnight. Almost all fans who followed Tottenham Hotspur knew their names, and in the next round, Tottenham Hotspur will go north to challenge Newcastle away, and this time it will also be the stage for the Tottenham Hotspur youth team.

Also in this round, Chelsea lost 3:4 to Newcastle, Liverpool lost to Northampton from England's third-tier league in a penalty shootout, and the three Premier League teams are mainly substitutes and youth teams The lineup played, and this battle was also Chelsea's first loss in an official game of the new season outside of the Community Shield.

But when many media defended Carlo Ancelotti's Chelsea, thinking that the Blues just encountered an accident accidentally, after Chelsea returned to the Premier League, they lost 0:1 in an unexpected away game in the sixth round. For Manchester City, Argentine star Aguero scored the winning goal for Manchester City, beating the mighty Chelsea.

It was also a key battle, and Tottenham Hotspur encountered their city rivals West Ham United in East London.

The two sides had the grievances and grievances at the Stratford Stadium in the past, and the regional competition with West Ham United after Tottenham Hotspur went south in the future. At the same time, Rybonovlev has always emphasized that he hopes to Building West Ham United into a strong team capable of challenging Tottenham Hotspur, coupled with Falcao's relationship, has made the two sides have deep grievances with each other.

Tottenham Hotspur also used their main force in this battle. The new trident including Ribery, Cavani and Messi also appeared in this game, challenging the luxurious lineup of the Hammers. Messi's key goal defeated West Ham United 1-0 in the away game and won the key battle.

Like Chelsea, Arsenal also suffered two consecutive setbacks in three days. After being eliminated from the League Cup, the Gunners sat at the Emirates Stadium and lost 2:3 to West Bromwich Albion, which is even more shocking. Surprisingly, Arsenal was almost overwhelmed by West Bromwich Albion in the first 10 minutes, without the demeanor of a strong team, and fell behind 0:3.

At the critical moment, the performance of Nasri and Arteta helped Arsenal score two goals in a row and regain their face slightly.

Interestingly, this is West Bromwich Albion's first victory in the past [-] Premier League away games, and Arsenal's excellent performance in the previous five rounds was completely shattered in this game, because they not only The original characteristics have been lost in the offense, and there are many mistakes and omissions in the defense.

With Arsenal and Chelsea losing one after another, another Premier League team, Liverpool, is in a better situation. Benitez's team encountered the black cat Sunderland at Anfield, and the result was very embarrassing. Liverpool's offense and defense are also In chaos, seriously out of shape, a 2:2 draw with Sunderland at home.

曼联也同样是客场2：2战平博尔顿，再加上埃弗顿0：0平富勒姆，纽卡斯尔1：2主场输给了斯托克城，这一轮的英超可谓是穷人翻身做主。

Only Tottenham Hotspur, a local tyrant team, after this round of strong teams capsized in the gutter, Tottenham Hotspur relied on their steady performance in the past six rounds to remain unbeaten with five wins and one tie. Not to mention sixteen points, they jumped to the top of the Premier League standings in one fell swoop. This is the first time that Tottenham Hotspur have taken the lead in the new season.

After Ye Qiu finished this round of the competition, he specially made his voice heard through the Times and the Guardian, telling the reporters of the Independent who had criticized him before, "Look, the leader is sitting Who is it?"
