Chapter 140 Provocative and Depressed

Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, referred to as Tottenham Hotspur (Spurs or TheSpurs).

This team's traditional home jersey is white, and Tottenham fans like to call the team "White Lily". In 1882, Tottenham Hotspur was founded at White Hart Lane in Tottenham, north of London. The motto of the Tottenham Club is "AudereestFacere" which means "dare to do". It is also because of this momentum that they became a century-old enemy with neighboring Arsenal as early as the First World War. The match between the two teams is the famous "North London Derby".

It is a commendable honor, that is, in the European Cup Winners Cup decades ago, Tottenham Hotspur became the first English team to win the championship in Europe.

In addition, they are proud of Tottenham's achievements in the FA Cup, an extremely ancient event. In 1991, they won the tournament for the eighth time, and in 1999, they defeated Leicester 1-0 in the League Cup final to win the club's latest championship title.

Such a history is very brilliant, but there is still some gap compared with the current giants such as Liverpool and Arsenal, so they do not have any advantage of historical honor in the game with Liverpool.

For now, Tottenham Hotspur is still a difficult bone.

Like Arsenal, Tottenham also advocates offensive football. Under such a team-building idea, their forward offensive power can be imagined. Last season, after Tottenham fired the gold medal coach Hodel, they welcomed the Frenchman Santini, and in the transfer market, the front line introduced such as Sean. Davis and other young good hands have enhanced the strength of Tottenham Hotspur a lot.

Tottenham's original lineup has a frightening front line and attack power. Once Santini can adjust the team's defense, it is not out of reach for the veteran team Tottenham Hotspur to regain the strength of the Gascoigne and Lineker era.

This is just the view of the mass media. Many people disdain it, but no one denies Tottenham's offensive ability.

There are no big stars on the front line of Tottenham Hotspur, but Tottenham's offensive ability is not weaker than that of ordinary big teams. This is a practical configuration. There are many reasons why these strikers are not big stars, but their ability to cooperate must not be underestimated. The combination of Tottenham's two front lines is Canute. And divho, plus a veteran Robby who just came to Tottenham Hotspur from Manchester United. Keane, such a configuration is horrible, and their midfield offensive power should not be underestimated, except for Simon, who has just come to Tottenham. In addition to Davis, they also have a number of powerful players such as Red Knapp and Mendes.

Such a team must not be underestimated. The first round of the Premier League is also the first challenge to Liverpool's new coach Benitez.

Life in training is generally very calm. Since Owen left, Liverpool has been training in peace for two days. It seems that nothing has happened, but all the players are worried about tomorrow's game.

The first opponent of the Premier League is also the cornerstone of the current team's strength.

Everyone is silent, but silently training hard. Everyone wants to win. After all, it is the first game after the start of the Premier League. A good beginning is half of the success. This is not only understood by distant Orientals, but also by these Europeans.

So, everyone is preparing silently.

It's like a star that is about to explode. It is very calm in the last second. It is accumulating energy. As long as the time comes, all the energy will overflow in an instant and burst into the brightest light.

Benitez also saw the mentality of the players. He was very satisfied with the current situation. Although Owen left, the team's morale did not seem to have been affected, but the locker room was more harmonious.

When Owen doesn't leave, the locker room will always be very embarrassed. Don Jack and Owen don't talk at all. The contradiction between Baroche and Owen can be seen on the surface. This relationship makes others feel bad, because they don't know where to stand. Now, as soon as Owen leaves, everyone has no spears with each other. The shield is at its word.

Of course, there are still small contradictions, such as players with fierce competition. There are still some small frictions on weekdays, but everyone is also in their hearts and will not be too obvious at all. At least on the surface, the locker room is harmonious.

That's enough!

For a team, nothing can be perfect, and it is also bad that there are no contradictions in the locker room, because there is competition to make progress. The current situation is what Benitez wants to see most.

He is in a good mood.

However, a newspaper sent in the afternoon stained a lot of dirt on Benitez's good mood...

※※※

Simon, who joined Tottenham Hotspur this summer. Davis has always been a thorny. He used to be at Fulham Club and wanted to leave last season, but due to his value, Fulham refused Bolton's contract, so the guy did not renew Fulham. When the contract time came, he joined Tottenham Hotspur for free.

The degree of stabbing can be imagined for players who can do this.

However, this guy's strength should not be underestimated. He is a pure combatist. Few players can experience the English Fourth League, so it is very difficult for players who are mixed in the lower league to enter a higher league. Without an absolutely excellent performance, it is difficult to get one step closer. For example, the best scorer in the English Champions League often do nothing in the Premier League. That's it. Reason.

Simon. Davis is a special case.

This guy is just 25 years old, but he has experienced England's fourth-tier league: Premier League, League One, League Two, and League Third Division (the Championship is also the former League One, which was formed last season).

Davis was born in Fulham Youth Training Camp and was served by Fulham's head coach Kevin at that time. Keegan is known as the future star of the club.

In October 1996, Davis made his debut as a substitute in Fulham's 3-0 home win over Cambridge United in the Third Division (English Fourth Division, which is now the Second Division), making his debut in the professional league.

Subsequently, he followed Fulham to be promoted to the English Football League Two (England Third Division, now the English Football League) and the English Football League (English Second League, the current English Champions League).

In the 2001-02 season, Fulham was promoted to the Premier League, and Davis became the first player in the world to represent the same club in all CET-4 professional leagues in England.

Think about it, it is extremely rare for a player to follow the club to upgrade to the fourth level in a row, because most players are directly eliminated in the process of upgrading, but Davis does not. From this point, we can also see Davis' strength, which is indeed with the team's promotion. The level is constantly growing.

Such talented players are very rare.

For example, a talented player like Rooney, almost as soon as he appears, it is directly in the Premier League. This is the reason for the training mechanism. It is also because he is lucky to join the Everton youth team, but such talented and unlucky players can only hang out in the lower leagues all the time. There are really few people like Davis who can stand out. See you.

However, Davis's personality is really annoying. This guy is a standard thorn.

The match between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur is also Davis' first Premier League game in Tottenham Hotspur. Of course, Tottenham's reporters want to interview his mood. Will Davis be under some pressure in the face of the powerful Liverpool?

Everyone wants to know.

So, Davis told everyone the answer: "Michael. Owen has left. Is there anyone else in Liverpool?

God!

** Naked contempt!

No matter who understands it this way, when the Daily Mail published this original sentence in the newspaper, the whole Liverpool media exploded. They jumped out and kept satirizing Davis and Tottenham Hotspur. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to be of much use. Davis's sentence was ten or a hundred sentences, and no one had to admit it. Davis is really stingy. With such sarcastic 'civilized' words, Liverpool doesn't know what to do.

It can be imagined that after seeing this report, Benitez's mood fell to the extreme. What he wants to do most now is to go to the White Deer Lane Stadium immediately and slap Tottenham a few times with his strength.

When the Liverpool players heard the news, of course, they were also very angry. This was aimed at almost all Liverpool players, saying that they were the same as non-existent.

'Without Owen, there would be no one in Liverpool?'

No one will think so. Everyone wants to prove that Liverpool without Owen is still the strongest team in the Premier League, or even the strongest team! Seeing that everyone was excited, Benitez even wanted to thank Davis. What this guy said was unpleasant, but he helped him jump up the players' fighting spirit in advance, which was really good...

Then, that night, Don Jack was interviewed by a media reporter.

This is an interview for new players before the first game, just like Davis' interview with reporters' media. Other new players also need to be interviewed. This is also a new player's appearance before the real game, which is specially arranged by the club.

The club does not stipulate what the players will say, so Jack Don is very casual to be interviewed. The reporter's questions also revolve around him, and more questions are concentrated in the next game.

Compared with Cise, there are more reporters who interview Don Jack Don. This is not because Don Jack is famous, but because Liverpool reporters think that Jack Don is also a 'thorn'. Otherwise, how can he say such 'atrodious' words at the signing ceremony?

In this way, in the face of Davis' provocation, or this boy can make a more popular speech to attack Tottenham, counter Davis, and find some face for Liverpool before the game.

Unfortunate, everyone was disappointed.

It seems that Don Jack is not in the mood. When a reporter asked about Davis, he only said lightly, "He said that there was no one in Liverpool?" Well, no matter what he thinks, I don't think everything will come to a conclusion until tomorrow..."

The indifferent answer made many reporters dissatisfied, but Jack Tang was really not in the mood to be interviewed. After answering a few words in an official way, he went home directly. This made many reporters present think that this young black-haired boy is under too much pressure. Where has his 'arrogance' spirit gone?

When it's time to be arrogant, it's not arrogant. It's really depressing. Some reporters even think that Don Jack will be Liverpool's external response... Hey...

But in fact, Don Jack is really not in a good mood, mainly because he couldn't find his name in the starting lineup arranged by Benitez in the afternoon.

Although there is myself in the big list, in Jack Don's opinion, it's better not to enter the list directly than to sit on the bench. It's really bad to see a game that he could have joined from the perspective of a bystander.
