Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 444 Tottenham also replicated the miracle

On May 5, Tottenham will face Ajax in the Champions League semi-final second leg away game. They lost 8-0 at home in the first leg.

Before the game, Tottenham coach Pochettino attended the press conference, and he talked about some of the game.

Regarding the first round, Pochettino's crazy milk opponent:
"Ajax are a very good team, they have a very good coach. They deserve to be here, it's the toughest competition in the world when you can get into a competition like this. When it gets to the Final Four, it's because you're good enough."

Regarding Sun Xingmin's return, Pochettino believes that Sun is just an ordinary member of the Tottenham team:
"I think all the players are very important, Son Heung-min didn't play the first leg, he can't repeat that, then he has to stay relaxed and calm."

Regarding whether to advance, Pochettino said very vaguely:
"We need to play our best, of course we need some luck, but I don't know if it will be more difficult. We need to enjoy the game, not like before, where we played really badly."

On the question of Eriksen and whether he has signed for Real Madrid, Pochettino:
"Walking into the stadium with Eriksen, I joked with him: 'I don't find any pictures of you here!' I was always trying to find pictures of my players."

"Sorry, I'm not going to talk about rumours, it's a player we want to keep. When we talk about Frenkie de Jong in London, we're talking about a player who's already signed, But I'm not going to talk about rumours."

Regarding whether Lamela and Aurier can play for Tottenham, Pochettino told the truth:

"Lamela came here with us, he will train here, but Aurier did not come with the team."

Regarding Cruyff, the representative of Dutch football, Pochettino expressed enough respect:
"Johan Cruyff is a genius, I used to play with his son Jordi and I had the chance to meet him. It was fantastic to share some moments with him, it was great for me. It’s really helpful, very important.”

Regarding the next game, Pochettino knows everything, and can't see the tension of the underdog:

"After the first leg, we were very aware that we had more information and they had more information about us. We're going to try to play our game and outperform them."

"Before the game, I will say something from the heart, I will say how I feel in that moment."

"We didn't have time to practice penalty kicks, but we did that a few weeks ago. Maybe tonight we will do some penalty kick training, it would be a good idea, we might do that."

Compared with Tottenham's calmness and calmness, the dominant home team Ajax is very impetuous. Expectations and worries are entangled in this youth team.

In De Boer's words: Ajax is beginning to recover, and one person is a natural leader, but at least five people will leave this summer!
At present, Ajax has created a youth storm in European football. With the outstanding performance of many young players, they have eliminated Real Madrid and Juventus in the Champions League and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

After beating Tottenham 1-0 away in the first leg, Ajax has a great chance to advance to the final.

Ronald De Boer won the Champions League with Ajax in 1995.Currently serving as the coach of the Ajax U19 echelon.

De Boer accepted an exclusive interview with "French Football" a few days ago. During the interview, he mentioned Ajax's football philosophy and the training of young players and other topics.

Reporter: "Cruyff said: Don't have any fear when playing football. Is this what Ajax has emphasized in the Champions League this season?"

De Boer: "Yes. I think there are two aspects to it: firstly, no one expected us to perform at this level, especially when we faced Real Madrid and Juventus. We had nothing to lose, and They may lose nothing because of the loss. Second, the team is very confident in itself now, and these things we have proved will not just disappear in thin air. This is the performance we look forward to."

Reporter: "Is there any similarity between this team and the Ajax team in 1995?"

De Boer: "Yes, because at the time no one expected us to achieve that result. I think it is the same situation as in 1995, we just won the first Champions League trophy."

Reporter: "How do you prepare young players to integrate into the first team?"

De Boer: "First of all, no matter who it is, he must know in his mind that he has the ability to integrate into the first team. This is the philosophy of Ajax, and it is also the idea that we are constantly instilling in the minds of young people. In Ajax Chriss, every coach wants to use these talented kids. These young people know they will get this opportunity, and they work hard every day to wait for this day. What to do as a striker, what to do as a midfielder or as a full-back. Now the logic is exactly the same, there is nothing particularly difficult about it, you just need to keep a consistent level."

Reporter: "The maturity shown by De Ligt left a very deep impact on the outside world. Is he a natural leader or did he learn and grow slowly in his own responsibilities?"

De Boer: "It's his nature. You can't learn this kind of temperament. If you don't perform well yourself, then you have no reason to educate others. De Ligt is a natural leader. He is on the court. It's been positive and effective, he's not a yelling guy. We all have faith in him."

Reporter: "Does the football philosophy of Ajax's first team and youth echelon have to be exactly the same?"

De Boer: "Sometimes, in some European clubs, the gap between the youth echelon and the first team is very huge. This is not the case in the Netherlands. The first team and the youth team are intertwined, which is very important."

Reporter: "Does Ajax need to worry about the upcoming summer transfer period?"

De Boer: "When you achieve a certain level of success at the competitive level, you will naturally be negatively affected in other areas. There is no doubt that every club wants excellent young players. Faced with the heavy transfers sent by the other side Invitation, it is difficult for Ajax to say no. After a player leaves, the team needs to find a suitable replacement. This is a process we are used to. We will see if the new player fits the system and whether his ability can Meet the requirements of the team. I think Ajax will have a lot of trouble next season because at least five players will leave. Fortunately, we are good at finding good young players."

The two miraculous teams will compete for the UEFA Champions League trophy this season. Liverpool has reached the final for two consecutive years, and Tottenham have entered the final for the first time in history.

The defending champion Liverpool has reached the Champions League final 8 times before and won 6 championships.

Tottenham is the eighth English league team in history to enter the Champions League final. Previously, Liverpool, Manchester United, Nottingham Forest, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Leeds United and Arsenal have all entered the Champions League final. All but Arsenal have won titles.

The last Premier League civil war in the Champions League final was 11 years ago in the 07-08 season, when Manchester United defeated Chelsea in a penalty shootout to win the championship.

Into the Champions League final for two consecutive years!Liverpool copied the miracle of Manchester United, chasing 3 goals in a row + countdown lore!Tottenham's away game miraculously reversed Jiafu, and the top two Premier League teams finally met in the final.

In 2015, Messi won the Champions League against Juventus in Barcelona;

In 2016 and 2017, Ronaldo helped Real Madrid win the Champions League for two consecutive years.

In 2018, Ronaldo lost to Zhang Mai. At the same time, Ronaldo, who won three consecutive championships, finally left Real Madrid for Juventus.

But this year, Melo failed to advance to the Champions League final, but Zhang Mai led Liverpool to the end.

Last summer, Ronaldo moved to Juventus, and Juventus lost to Ajax in the quarter-finals of the Champions League and was helplessly out;

Messi's Barcelona, ​​in the face of a huge 3-0 advantage in the first round, eventually lost 0-4 and stopped in the Champions League semi-finals.

The last time there was no Ronaldo or Messi in the Champions League was the 2013 Champions League final, when Bayern defeated Dortmund and won the Champions League.

The principle of "the new king will be established, and the old king will be changed" is also so common in football.
