Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

Chapter 159

On December 10, the 16th match day of the Premier League arrived.

Manchester City players landed at London City Airport and then transferred to the long-awaited player bus to North London.

This time they were not going to cause trouble for Arsenal, but to the White Hart Lane Stadium, the home of Arsenal's arch-rival Tottenham.

Every time they came to London as a guest, it was like a long and arduous journey for Manchester City players.

"And lead you through the streets of London~"

"I'll show you something~"

"To make you change your mind~"

Knight suddenly hummed the London city song in Su Fei's ear, an English folk song "Streets of London" from the last century.

Some of the lyrics were a bit similar to a popular folk song that Su Fei loved to listen to in his previous life.

The bumpy bus, the bustling streets outside the window, the lively teammates around, Knight's out-of-tune singing...

Su Fei had the illusion of going out for an outing in a trance, and his mood became happy.

Stuart, who was sitting in the front row, turned his head and looked over, and asked loudly.

"Knight, is your ankle okay?"

"Boss, look for yourself, it's swollen like a pig!"

As he said that, Knight took off his shoes and lifted his right foot high, and put it on the front seat for Stuart to see.

Stuart saw that his ankle was very red and swollen.

James, who was sitting in the front row, broke his defense.

"Fxxxk! Knight, I fuck your grandma, do you have any manners!"

"No, buddy, I just washed my feet before going out, you smell it, it's still fragrant."

"Get lost!"

Everyone was amused, Stuart rolled his eyes and turned his head away, and Knight smiled and retracted his foot.

"Su! What are you going to do without my cross today?"

"Uh, who told you to show off in the training match yesterday? You had to find trouble to dribble past the opponent and twisted yourself."

"Oh, being handsome is a lifelong thing!"

Su Fei was speechless.

This guy seems to be not doing things properly on and off the court. He is like two different people on and off the court.

However.

Although Knight said it with a smile, it is really a headache to play against Tottenham today without Knight, the main player on the right side.

.....................................

Tottenham Hotspur!

A team that can be regarded as a mortal enemy of North London by the traditional Premier League giants Arsenal must not be too bad.

During the "glory days", in 1961, Tottenham became the first team in the 20th century to win the top league and FA Cup double championship.

If only the number of FA Cup championships is counted, Tottenham is currently second only to Manchester United's eleven times and Arsenal's ten times.

With eight FA Cups, it ranks third in England.

Such results are enough to make Tottenham occupy its own peak among all English football clubs.

However, since 2000, Tottenham has experienced four consecutive seasons of lows, and the worst ranking has reached 14th place in the Premier League.

This summer, there was an extremely lively transfer storm between Tottenham and Chelsea, which has risen strongly in the past two years.

It was not the players, but Frank Arnesen, the sports director of Tottenham and the top scout in Europe, who was secretly contacted by Chelsea to poach players.

This is really fucking excessive!

A top scout means a complete set of top scout systems and youth training systems.

It’s okay for others to poach players, but Chelsea is not poaching players, but directly pushing down a wall of Tottenham!

Tottenham directly brought this matter to the English Football Association.

In the end, Chelsea paid Tottenham 6 million pounds as a transfer fee, plus a verbal promise not to poach Tottenham players in the next two years as compensation, ending this dramatic farce.

That’s it!

Chelsea cut a piece of meat from Tottenham with its money power!

Originally everyone thought that this incident would have a blow to Tottenham's performance in the new season.

Unexpectedly, Tottenham turned shame into strength and showed a performance that surprised fans so far this season!

After 15 rounds of the Premier League, 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, currently 34 points, even surpassing North London's arch-rival Arsenal, temporarily ranked fourth in the Premier League!

This is also the reason why Su Fei regards Tottenham as the most difficult opponent before the winter break.

To some extent.

This season, Tottenham, who showed high morale, even the overall performance has reached the level of Arsenal.

......

At this time, White Hart Lane Stadium.

Spurs players entered the stadium early and warmed up before the game on their own stadium.

On the side of the stadium, stood an old man with a Mediterranean hairstyle.

Dutch Martin Jol!

Like many head coaches who performed mediocrely when playing football, but their team performance was eye-catching.

Martin Jol is also such a typical representative.

Martin Jol, who played as a role player, led the team in a style of doing things personally and getting along with the players.

Because he did not enjoy the star treatment when playing football, he could better understand the thoughts and needs of most players in the team.

Martin Jol contributed greatly to Tottenham's achievements this season.

In November last year, he took over Jacques Santini's position.

Yes.

He was the one who played a 9-0-1 formation against Chelsea and ended the game 0-0.

The former French coach was directly ridiculed by the arrogant Portuguese as "parking the team bus in front of the goal to defend" at the post-match press conference.

After replacing Jacques Santini, Martin Jol led the team to a steady rise and won the Premier League's best coach in December last year.

This summer, he also successfully persuaded the team's midfield brain Michael Carrick to stay with the team and rejected Ferguson's invitation.

Yes, that's right.

Alex Ferguson wanted to poach Tottenham this summer and get the young midfielder Michael Carrick to improve the problem of his aging lineup.

But Martin Jol ruined it with his mouth.

And Michael Carrick, who stayed, also gave back Martin Jol's excellent performance, perfectly controlling Tottenham's game rhythm, and was the absolute hero of the team's current achievements.

"Okay, gentlemen, it's time to rest, we have to prepare enough physical strength for today's game!"

Martin Jol smiled and clapped his hands, calling the players to his side.

Unlike his slightly fierce face under the Mediterranean Sea, Martin Jol was born with an optimistic and positive mood.

"Come on, let's go to the locker room to talk about tactics."

"Our opponent today is a little difficult to deal with."

"You must relax your mind and treat it as a game, understand? Enjoy the game, enjoy the cheers and cheers of the fans!"

The smiling Martin Jol led the players to the player tunnel.

At this time, near the entrance.

A little boy wearing a Tottenham jersey who entered the stadium early waved his hands excitedly and shouted Tottenham's slogan.

"Come On You Spurs!"

Martin Jol stopped with the players and greeted the little boy.

"Little guy, thank you for coming to cheer for us! Who is willing to donate their shoes to our little fans?"

As Martin Jol spoke, almost all the players behind him raised their hands with a smile.

Finally.

Robbie Keane's shoes were handed to the little boy. The child jumped up excitedly, and his parents kept thanking him.

Martin Jol walked into the player tunnel and gave the players another rich and mellow chicken soup.

"See? You are the reason why that kid loves football, and this is why we must win today!!"
