Chapter 169 Victory over Schalke
Tottenham Hotspur won a complete victory at the Emirates Stadium on the doorstep of Arsenal. Yes, it was a complete victory, a 4-0 victory over the opponent. The victory of this game made Tottenham fans excited for a long time.
But is this satisfying?
"Don't be happy too early now. I don't want you to release all ** too early. Our season is not over yet. Our victory over Arsenal is just a small achievement. What we are going to achieve next is really exciting!"
In the next game, Tottenham will go to Schalke in Germany, where they will compete with Schalke 04 in the second round of the Champions League 1/4 knockout match this season.
In the first round, Tottenham Hotspur won a 3-0 cleanly at the White Hart Lane Stadium. Throughout the game, Tottenham Hotspur firmly grasped the initiative on the field and basically did not give Schalke 04 any decent chance.
This time, he went to the away game. Although the opponent occupied the right time, place and people, the gap in strength between the two sides, even the German media did not expect much from Schalke 04 to turn over at home.
Magat, like Wenger, even if he was not sure, he refused to lose a half in momentum. At the press conference before the game, the German stubborn old man looked full of confidence, as if he had booked a ticket to the next competition site in advance.
"Who said that we don't have a chance? Isn't the knockout match a two-round contest? We just lost a game now. It's not a big deal. We still have a game, and it's a home game. Since Tottenham can win at home, why can't we Schalke 04? Don't forget that we are a German team. The common gene of the German team is tenacity. I believe mine. Players, my team is also ready. For this game, I believe that after 90 minutes of the game, we can get a satisfactory result!"
Okay! Coach Magat seems to have drunk confidence potions!
Confidence is of course a good thing, but in a football game, what can really play a key role in the final outcome is the 90 minutes on the football field.
The game started at the home of Schalke 04, and Schalke 04, which has the advantage of the home court, completely continued the starting lineup of the last game. Similarly, Tottenham has not made any changes.
The same lineup makes people doubt Magart. Why does the old man believe that his team can turn around at home?
In the tenth minute of the first half, Tottenham Hotspur took the lead in breaking the deadlock. Degan's free kick scored directly, widening the total score of the two sides to the gap of four goals.
However, the camera at the scene caught that Magat looked completely unmoved at the moment when Degan's free kick leaped over the Schalke 04 goal line.
This makes people wonder. You should know that Magart is a famous violent temper in German football. In every game, it is necessary to listen to him shouting on the sidelines. Now Magart is so quiet, is he really ready to kill?
After losing the ball, Schalke 04 did launch a fierce counterattack, but it seemed that he still played a bad old routine in the Bundesliga, and the three lines in the midfield were sent to Huntelaar to pass the ball.
But the problem is that without Raul, it is too difficult for them to pass through Tottenham's defense. Although Huntelaar is very active, he lacks enough support on the front line and looks alone and lonely.
Next, Tottenham once again expanded their lead in the 23rd minute of the game. This time it was Degan's pass, and West Goodson, who followed in the middle, bombarded the door, which made German fans can't help but awaken their memory of Iceland's sniper.
You should know that when he was playing for Hoffenheim, West Goodsen hit the goal outside the penalty area, but it shocked the whole German football world.
But the problem is that they are all 02 behind, and Magart is still indifferent, holding his shoulders and standing on the sidelines, looking unfathomable, which makes Antiennis can't help but doubt whether he looks down on his opponent too much.
In the stands, the fans of Schalke 04 can't stand it. If you really have a trick, take it out quickly! Don't seep any more. If it soshens, I'm afraid I'll even lose my underwear to my opponent.
Aftertrick?
If Magart knew what people were expecting, he would definitely laugh. Of course, even if he laughed, it would be a bitter smile.
What else can be done!?
Now the total score is five goals behind, and two of them are Tottenham's away goals. If Schalke 04 wants to win and advance to the semi-finals of this season's UEFA Champions League, he must score six goals. Are you kidding? Six goals, you think it's a bubble!
As for why Magat looks unpredictable, can Uncle Ma still tell people that he is numb?
There is no greater sorrow than death!
Magart is in this state now!
Gradually, Tottenham also found the real situation hidden behind Magat's unfathomable. Since it was all like this, they had to accept it.
Before the end of the first half, Degan took the ball directly into the penalty area of Schalke 04 and hit the goal vigorously. Hildebrand symbolically raised his hand to signal, and then he could watch the Tottenham players on the court celebrate crazily.
In the stands, those Tottenham fans who went on an expedition with the team have begun to celebrate in advance. Before this season, Tottenham's best record in the Champions League was the quarterfinals. Now it is a great leap forward to reach the semifinals, but they have reason to have more expectations because they have Degan, the finals, and even the championship. These things that used to be far away from them now seem to be in front of them.
At halftime, Degan was replaced, and it was meaningless to continue to play. Now the opponent is clearly a pair of virtues, holding his head and pocking his buttocks for light abuse. Bullying such an opponent will not make Degan have any sense of accomplishment.
In the second half, VP VP succeeded in offside and scored a goal near the end of the game, finally locking the score at 4:0, two rounds of the competition 7:0, and Tottenham beat Schalke 04. After the end of the game, Magat was also fired by Schalke 04 at the first time.
After Magat and Degan joined Tottenham Hotspur, he has sent away three head coaches. Previously, there were Mancini and Di Matteo, but now he is even better. They have begun to send the head coach of the German club out of class.
