Chapter 59 I Don't Want to See that Bird!
Christmas in the West is coming, which makes London, England bathed in a joyous atmosphere.
On the second day of Christmas, on December 26, the Premier League ushered in the 18th round.
Tottenham sit at home against Norwich.
This game has been a long wait for Tottenham fans.
After the injury wave, the main players returned, and the complete Tottenham once again showed that terrifying dominance.
In the first half, Tottenham scored 4 goals, Harry Kane and Sun Xingmin each scored 2 goals.
In this game, Norwich's right was almost broken into a sieve.
Sun Xingmin opened fire and made a crazy breakthrough on the right.
Running Son Heung-min is happy!
He likes it.
The game was broadcast live to the distant Korean peninsula. South Korean fans saw Sun Xingmin, which was completely different from the restrained Sun Xingmin in the Asian Cup.
In the end, they attributed the reason to the midfielder.
One is the Asian midfielder!
The other is a top talented midfielder in Europe!
Can the attribute bonus be the same?
It seems that it was not Sun Xingmin's problem during that time, but that the entire South Korean team couldn't keep up with Sun Xingmin's rhythm.
Because of the relationship between Sun Xingmin and Yi Le, Yi Le also has a certain reputation among Korean fans.
In particular, Yi Le's performance in Tottenham is getting better and better, and he has even been praised by the European media. It can be said that Yi Le's reputation in Europe is something Sun Xingmin can't compete with.
When the South Korean commentator was commenting on the Tottenham game, every time Yi Le held the ball, he would give Yi Le the title of "Sun Xingmin's friend".
In Asia, Yi Le and Sun Xingmin are even called "Asian Twin Stars".
After all, one is the Premier League assist king!
The other is the fourth place in the Premier League scorer list!
It can be said that these two people have made the world see different Asian players.
The 19th round of the Premier League came very quickly, with only two days in between.
This game is Watford vs Tottenham.
It was another game without any suspense, and Tottenham won again with a crushing attitude.
Through this game, Watford players are even more afraid of this demon.
This Chinese played Watford to autism in the English Championship last year!
But this year this guy has become even more terrifying, and his teammates are even more powerful.
Facing Tottenham like this, the possibility of Watford winning is almost zero.
After the end of the 19th round of the Premier League, the season is halfway through.
Tottenham fans were pleasantly surprised.
In the entire 19 rounds of the competition, their gorgeous record blinded their eyes.
16 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses!
With 49 points, Tottenham still lead the Premier League.
They are halfway champions!
Followed by Leicester City, with 15 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, ranked second with 47 points.
The third place is Arsenal.
Arsenal did not sink in the massacre in the "North London Derby".
And this also made Arsenal fans indignant.
They used to bully Tottenham before, when did this group of white lilies ride on them?
The fourth place is Manchester City.
As for the other giants.
Manchester United are in sixth place.
After Liverpool experienced a coaching change, they have not been able to adjust their status and rank 10th.
As for Chelsea, they have encountered Waterloo in the league. They seem to have put too much power into the Champions League, so that their record in the league is terrible.
Now, they are in an embarrassing position of 15th in the league. As a wealthy team, this result is obviously a failure.
But Chelsea can't help it.
It is obviously impossible to recover the points now, so I can only give up the league and focus on the Champions League, hoping to get good results to soothe the mood of the fans.
…
In the Europa League, the group stage is over.
Tottenham played very strongly in Group J with their outstanding performance.
They won all six games and advanced. What is terrifying is the data they handed over.
In six games, they scored 15 goals and conceded just two.
The second place in the group is Anderlecht, which advances hand in hand with Tottenham.
The entire UEFA group stage promotion list is:
Group A: Molde, Fenerbahce.
Group B: Liverpool, Sion.
Group C: Krasnodar, Borussia Dortmund.
Group D: Naples, Midtjylland.
Group E: Rapid Vienna, Villarreal.
Group F: Braga, Marseille.
Group G: Lazio, Saint-Etienne.
Group H: Lokomotiv Moscow, Sporting Lisbon.
Group I: Basel, Fiorentina.
Group J: Tottenham Hotspur, Anderlecht.
Group K: Schalke 04, Sparta Prague.
Group L: Athletic Bilbao, Augsburg.
The above 24 teams compete with the 8 teams eliminated in the UEFA Champions League group stage to compete for the top 32.
…
On December 30, the Europa League top 32 draw ceremony began.
On this day, all the teams gathered in front of the TV to watch the draw.
For most teams, the situation in the Europa League this time is not too tragic.
Only two teams need to pay attention!
One is Seville!
This team is BUFF's commission in the Europa League. They play the Europa League like a tiger and have won the Europa League for two consecutive times.
They don't want to be a stepping stone for this team to advance.
The other team is Tottenham Hotspur!
This team is more terrifying than Sevilla!
Their dominance in the league and the state of the Europa League group stage are crazy!
After Anderlecht, the second place in Group J, was given crazy military training by Tottenham, he rarely spoke through the media:
"Just kidding! Are you sure this team is here to participate in the Europa League, not the Champions League?"
From this, you can experience the strength of Tottenham, which is an opponent that all the second-placed teams in the group do not want to encounter.
And two hours before the start of the draw, the head coach of Serie A Fiorentina - Vincenzo Montella even released a talk through the Internet.
'Please! I don't want to see that bird! '
Seeing this news, the Italian media couldn't help laughing. There are quite a few football clubs that use 'bird' as their team logo, but the most famous one is undoubtedly the Tottenham Hotspur in White Hart Lane.
Perhaps it was the head coach's poisonous reaction, and Florence drew the 'bird' that frightened Montella in the seventh round of draws.
Europa League round of 32, Tottenham VS Fiorentina!
As for Seville, it was taken away by Molde.
The two strong teams were divided up in a row, which slightly reduced the psychological pressure on other teams.
Soon the lottery ceremony will be over.
And in the British Peninsula, London Special Administrative Region, Tottenham Training Center.
Boas got up and turned off the TV, clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and said: "Okay, the next round of opponents is coming out, the coaching staff will formulate tactics, but before that, we need to play another match."
"Elkerson stays, others can leave first."
The players left one after another, leaving Elkeson and Boas alone.
Looking at the helpless Elkeson sitting below, Boas said lightly: "FA Cup, Elkeson, you come to play the starting lineup."
Elkeson raised his head slightly in surprise, and subconsciously asked, "So easy?"
Boas said: "Yi mainly participates in the Europa League and league matches. If he also takes care of the FA Cup, I am afraid that his physical strength will not be able to keep up."
Yi Le is now the engine of Tottenham, and he needs to play 90 minutes in every game.
In the third-line battle, it is simply impossible for Yi Le to serve as the starter and play the whole game.
Unless, Boas wants to lose all the games.
Elkeson felt a little bitter, it turned out to be a substitute.
Although this had been expected, it was a bit of a disappointment to see Villas-Boas finally recognized.
But Elkeson also understands that today's Tottenham is really inseparable from Yi Le.
Gritting his teeth, he stood up abruptly and said loudly, "Boss, I also want to play in the league!"
Without waiting for Boas to speak, Elkeson shouted again: "I am willing to give up the core position, I can play the midfielder!"
Boas frowned slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Are you sure?"
Elkeson nodded and said solemnly: "During training, I will cooperate with Yi, and I will let you see my attitude."
