Chapter 185 The Aftermath of the North London Derby

Arsenal have had the upper hand since their first north London derby against Tottenham in 1921.

From the small victory of 3:2 in the first match to the big victory of 6:0, in fact, it has not spanned a hundred years.

Speaking of which, although Arsenal moved to North London very early, it was because of the reform of the League One (the top league at the time) competition system during World War I.Sir Norris, the owner of Arsenal at the time, arranged for them to replace Tottenham in the Premier League, while Tottenham fell into the second division.

This is the most important reason for the continuous enmity between the two teams for nearly a century!

After many years of ups and downs in League Two, Tottenham Hotspur returned to the ranks of League One, but Arsenal has already established a firm foothold here. Not only have they won many championships, but they have never left the top of England. league.

Although Shao Bo has led the team to many honors, he still has not surpassed the achievements of the ancients.

When Coach Herbert Chapman led the team to three consecutive league championships and became the world's first football dynasty, they once humiliated Tottenham Hotspur at home at Highbury.

那还是1934年的10月20日，阿森纳曾经以5:1痛宰托特纳姆热刺，当时的海布里欢声一片。

In that season, Tottenham were once again relegated due to the bottom of the ranking, which is also one of the reasons for the deepening conflict between the two sides.

After coach Chapman passed away due to illness, Arsenal continued to be brilliant.

在1935年的3月6日，阿森纳创造了他们和托特纳姆热刺两队相遇以来的最大分差——6:0。

Yes, Shao Bo is now only able to match the results of his predecessors, but it has been more than half a century since such a score appeared for the first time until he reproduced such a disparity.

Of course, if the derby in North London is not counted, then the grievances between the two teams will have to be pushed forward, and it has a history of about 110 years.

On November 1887, 11, when they were still called Royal Arsenal, they played against Tottenham Hotspur in a friendly match.

But shortly after Tottenham Hotspur took the lead, their home lights "suddenly" went out.

Tottenham Hotspur claimed that it was too dark because some Arsenal players were late, while Arsenal fans insisted that Tottenham deliberately turned off the stadium lights under the score advantage.

Three months later Arsenal fought back with a [-]-[-] win, with three players said to have been injured.

Before Arsenal moved to north London, there was already a lot of rift between the two teams.

Not to mention the fundamental animosity that Sir Norris' relocation of Arsenal to north London robbed them of their massive fanbase in the early 20th century.

Grabbing jobs is a contradiction that can never be resolved.

Chelsea, which also prevented Arsenal from taking over North London, has satisfied its appetite in the gradual expansion of West London, and the relationship with Arsenal has eased.

However, Leyton Orient, which was resisting at the same time, was gradually relegated in the later years, and its influence was not as good as before. Now many London fans are about to forget this team not far from them.

The staggering margins are also an excellent source of news, which should be put to good use.

No one noticed these data at the time. Only when the media searched the database after the game did they find that there was such a disparity in the score between Arsenal and Tottenham.

Then the original thought: "North London Derby Score Record", "Shao Bo Creates New History"... and other titles cannot be used.

Of course, there are also some sports reporters of the older generation. These data and knowledge have been engraved in their brains, and they can call up the required knowledge directly from their brains without a computer or looking through the materials.

They are also the fastest-publishing group of reporters.

The importance of daily accumulation is reflected here.

Throughout the game, the performance of Tottenham Hotspur fans can be described as ups and downs.

When Henry scored the first goal past Stirtree, the Tottenham fans shouted even louder, and the entire White Hart Lane stadium was noisy.

"Bastards! You have no right to move here!"

What the Tottenham Hotspur fans called out here is the allusion that Arsenal moved to North London to compete with Tottenham Hotspur. This has become a standing declaration of Tottenham Hotspur fans in the derby. With a history of more than 80 years.

Not long after the start of the game, after Henry scored a goal, Tottenham Hotspur fans have been hoping that the team can equalize the score as soon as possible, and then overtake.

In a derby, no one accepts a draw.

However, Henry quickly scored twice. At this time, they still retain the hope of overtaking the score.Not only motivated the players with roars, but also sang the club's song:

"Come on! Fuck them to death, just like a man!"

The Tottenham players inspired by the fans launched a fierce attack, but since Shao Bo coached Arsenal, he started with defensive counterattacks. How could he not take advantage of the emptiness behind Tottenham Hotspur and score two more goals?
After Pires and Vieira scored two goals in succession, the Tottenham Hotspur fans were speechless. At this time, the first half had not yet finished.

After the second half, the camera found that many seats on the White Hart Lane had been vacated-that was the Tottenham fans who saw the first half was too depressed and gave up the game.

They simply left the stadium, or went to the pub to drink away their worries, or simply went home and sulked themselves.

There are fewer and fewer white traces. In White Hart Lane, only a small number of Arsenal fans are more conspicuous. They happily waved the club's flag and scarf and cheered towards the players.

At this moment, everyone is thankful to be able to snatch the tickets to watch the game at White Hart Lane. I am afraid that such a score will be difficult to see in the future.

After they scored the sixth goal in the second half, all the Arsenal fans present stood up excitedly and sang the team's song together.

In this White Hart Lane Stadium, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, Arsenal fans occupying only a few thousand seats became the only voice of the stadium.

The fans of the home team were speechless.

At the post-match press conference, Shao Bo, who was in a good mood, joked with the reporters casually and answered every question.

"What? Tottenham fans say they want to stop us here? It's ridiculous. White Hart Lane is Arsenal's blessed place. We have won the championship here. I really hope that I can repeat this scene again in these years of coaching. "

What Shao Bo is talking about here is the scene when Arsenal won the championship in 1971. At that time, they only needed to win the match between White Hart Lane and Tottenham to win the championship in advance.

Celebrating your championship on the court of your arch-rival, I don't know how many fans this is the dream!
With a header from Ray Kennedy, they won and won the championship.

Unconvinced Tottenham fans cursed Arsenal bitterly during street interviews:
"Yes, they once won the championship at White Hart Lane. But think about it, Arsenal haven't won the league championship for 18 years after that."

Shao Bo dismissed this.

"It won't happen anymore, because our goal this year is still the league championship. It's just a pity that we won't be able to win the championship at Tottenham Stadium this year."

After all, there have only been eleven games played in the league now, and the home game on Tottenham's side is over. This season, Arsenal has no chance to sneak into the home of their neighbors in North London.

Such a game is a wild victory for Arsenal; however, it is a disastrous defeat for Tottenham Hotspur.

Losing to derby rivals, Tottenham need a scapegoat.

Neither the chairman nor the manager can take responsibility for this. Even if the fans are dissatisfied with them, it is impossible to affect their status.

The players are bound by contracts. Even if they perform poorly, they need to continue to play in the next game.

Only the head coach, the best scapegoat for the head coach.

Precisely because Eric Cartman was promoted from the club's internal youth coaches by Tottenham Hotspur imitating Arsenal, there is no liquidated damages for the contract at all.

After the game, Tottenham Hotspur announced directly that Eric Cartman, who had worked for the team for nine years, would leave White Hart Lane.

Although they hope that after Graham, Eric Cartman can bring passion and vitality to the team like Shao Bo, and improve the team's record.

But obviously, there is only one Shao Bo, and his success cannot be replicated by others.

At that time, Arsenal's main problem was not that the team was not strong enough. At that time, the players in the team basically won the league championship under Graham's coaching, and also won the European Cup Winners' Cup after he left.

Therefore, their main problem is that their psychological quality is not good enough, and their state has not been adjusted back to a normal state.The body is prematurely aging due to bad living habits and unscientific diet activities.

After Shao Bo came here, he also mainly affected these two points-all team reforms, large or small, revolve around how to make players more concentrated in the game.

Obviously, his reforms were successful, and the energized Arsenal surprisingly won the league title that season and successfully defended it.

Now, when Shao Bo was distracted by the Champions League, he lost the chance to hit the three consecutive league championships. He will not be able to accomplish this achievement for at least three years.

Then, after the opening of the new century, try to win the championship undefeated!
After beating Tottenham Hotspur 6-0, Shao Bo mentioned this matter at the press conference.

"Yeah, we have never lost. Who wouldn't want to win the championship undefeated."
