long live football

When the Munich 1860 players entered the field in the second half, they all had strange expressions.

Some are smiling, some are thoughtful, some are frowning.

"What did Auston say to his players during the intermission?" The commentator guessed: "He returned to the player channel before the first half ended, and he must have something important to say in the locker room. It’s what I said, but I can’t see the clues from the expressions of the players of Munich 1860.”

In the second half of the game, the head coach of Tottenham Hotspur ambitiously replaced another striker, Mido.

"Tottenham are obviously going to make the most of their home advantage, they have become more attacking than in the first half, but the Tottenham manager's wish to score goals may not be so quick in advance, because although 1860 Munich did not change at the beginning of the second half. Man, but the pomposity that some of their players showed in the first half seems to be gone now... Sure enough, Auston must have done something at halftime."

In the 57th minute, after a few passes, Tottenham midfielder Malblanc once again dribbled the ball into the Lions' half. Hummels broke back into the penalty area and poked the ball to Mertesacker.

In the 58th minute, Mertesacker blew a counterattack horn with a long pass from the right side of the backcourt. Defoe cleverly unloaded the ball from his feet and then turned around. The ball passed Hummels and broke into the Lions half. The front of the penalty area hit the ball with a big foot straight to the middle. Berbatov lobbed in front of the goal. The football flew over the heads of several defenders and flew to Koch's chest. The Lions goalkeeper scooped the ball with his long arm and held the ball in his arms inside.

Use the opponent's counterattack to play a more beautiful quick counterattack. If the ball has just been scored, the cooperation of the Tottenham players will probably be rated as the best in the game.

Although the name of Arsenal will immediately come to many people's minds when it comes to Premier League offensive football, in fact Tottenham Hotspur played offensive football 50 years earlier than Arsenal. Homegrown players play some of the best football in England and they are beloved by Premier League fans.

It’s just that more than ten years ago, when the Premier League was rapidly developing into the world’s number one football league, Tottenham’s managers suddenly had a brain twitch and started chasing big-name foreign players frantically. The money is not less than another London team, Arsenal, but it has had little effect. Finally, the year before last, the Tottenham management ended the idea of ​​​​making the team an "international club" and invited Joel, a Dutchman, as the head coach , and hope that Tottenham's football style can return to tradition.

The most common sentence Joel said after taking office was: "I hope you can play like Cruyff." Now, Tottenham players have basically done it.

The reason why Tottenham Hotspur's defense is poor and they have almost no goal difference in the league is because they almost use offense instead of defense during the game.

Dutchman Joel believes that the best defense is an offense.

In the 60th minute of the game, Karl finally lost his patience.

He made a substitution: Michael Irving for Dennis Ogo.

Now that the team has removed its impetuous temperament and the players have calmed down as a whole, he can let go.

Everyone knows that Tottenham's defense is terrible, and he needs to play the whole game with a stable 442 formation. Isn't this torture?

Since Tottenham is attacking, he will also attack, the big deal is to see who is sharper.

When the two teams are based on defense, they compare to counterattack.

But when both teams are trying to play tricks on offense, it's all about speed.

Whoever has the fastest speed and can kill without bloodshed will be able to control the entire game.

In terms of pace, Carr is confident in his team.

……

When Owen finished warming up and ran on the court, there was a strong booing in White Hart Lane.

This is a "gift" from Tottenham fans to their former opponents.

Whether it was the Liverpool period or the Newcastle period, Owen and Tottenham were competitors. He had passed through the goal of White Hart Lane countless times. It is strange that Tottenham fans can love him.

After standing still on the court, Irving shook hands with Beckham.

"You've been booed too," laughed Beckham, who also received a warm "welcome" from Spurs fans on his first start.

"It's louder than yours." Owen shrugged: "Who made me the striker who once beat them? I also scored twice here."

"It's a pity that there are only 10 minutes left before the end of the game. The hat trick is a bit too late."

"How many can get in." Owen said with a smile: "I'm not greedy."

He said he was not greedy, but Irving worked harder than anyone else in the game.

Fighting in the stadium of a Premier League team seems to especially arouse his desire to fight - not only because Tottenham's goal is particularly attractive to him, but also because this is England, making contributions to the team on familiar land , let the media notice him faster, the better his performance, the more deeply those who have criticized him will understand: Michael Owen is always Michael Owen, he can still play beautiful football, he Not old yet!

There is also Beckham who is in the same mood as Owen, and his desire to perform is stronger than the former: since Mike Laren became the head coach of the England national team last year, he has never had the idea of ​​​​calling Beckham into the team. Beckham If he wants to return to the national team, he will make Mike Laren regret it.

Beckham and Owen are the two superstars in the Munich 1860 team, and their experiences are known to everyone.

After seeing the resolute expressions on the faces of these two people, many people knew what to do.

The Lions players began to consciously pass the football to Beckham and Irving. The two quickly understood the thoughts of their teammates and felt a little gratitude in their hearts.

The commentator didn’t have much space to describe Beckham and Owen in the first half, but in the second half, he suddenly added more words: “Munich 1860 and Tottenham Hotspur both played the momentum of fighting to the death, and the rhythm on the court is going faster and faster. Come faster!"

"Berbatov flicks a header from the top of the penalty area, Defoe swings past the defender on the right side of the penalty area and lifts his foot to shoot, Koch blocks the ball with his body ... the ball he saves lands right at the feet of Dante, Dante kicks up Pass back, 1860 Munich launched a counterattack!"

"Hummels crosses the ball to Beckham...Lars...Ozil...Beckham...Beckham dribbles the ball, he's not fast but solid, Dawson from his body The sliding tackle on the left side... didn't make it! Although Beckham staggered a bit, the football was still firmly stuck to his feet! There were still ten meters before he was about to enter the penalty area... Eight meters, five meters, three meters rice……"

"He passed the ball! Beckham chose to pass the ball at a critical moment!"

"Owen! Owen! It's Owen! Quickly dribbled the ball forward and passed three defenders in a row, then went in and volleyed from the instep collar of the right foot! Tottenham goalkeeper Robinson turned in the opposite direction of the shot! GOOOOOOOAL!"

After scoring the goal, Owen ran around the field, and Beckham followed behind him. When the two ran to the side of the field, Owen suddenly turned around and hugged his friend tightly.

Just as the coach didn't stop Defoe's celebration in the first half, the coach didn't say anything about Irving's celebration.

Countless middle fingers and crazy curses were shown in the home stands. In the eyes of the two, this is the best compliment for them.

Karl wanted to raise his hands to applaud his players several times, thinking about the small incident in the first half, but finally chose to replace it with a sincere smile.

The England commentator was hoarse in the first half minute, but suddenly became emotional in the next second: "The goal just now gave me a subtle illusion. In a trance, I thought that time went back 8 years, and I returned to France. One-eighth of the World Cup In the final... Irving became famous with one goal in that game, and at that time, it was the assist that Beckham gave him..."

"Beckham had blond hair flying back then, and Owen was high-spirited that year. That was the time when the English twins were at their best. At that time, we all felt that English football finally had a future, and we would definitely lift the Hercules Cup one day... …Unfortunately, Beckham has now left the national team, and although Owen is in the roster given by Mike Laren, he has not yet started to play..."

"After last year's World Cup, I thought I would never see the two of them scoring goals together again, but now this regret has been made up for. Thanks to Auston, I sincerely thank him. Without him, many fans may not be happy. Like me, I can no longer realize my dream...Although Irving and Beckham may no longer cooperate in the national team, I hope they can fulfill the wish of fans like me for many years in the league and in a foreign country ..."

I don't know how many England fans burst into tears after hearing this passage.

And Tottenham coach Joel's forehead began to ooze sweat.

……

In the end, Munich 1860 won, and the score of 3:1 was enough for them to return home in triumph.

But after the game, Karl didn't let go of his players, and he continued his efforts on the topic of halftime.

And he has a better support this time: the heroes of the victory are Beckham and Irving who are fighting like chicken blood, and in the public opinion upsurge created by Heathfield before, these two are the most calm of.Doesn't this just prove that being unaffected by external comments and developing an attitude of not being surprised is actually the most beneficial to the competitive state?

Carl used these two as an excuse to brainwash his players vigorously.

When the players walked out of White Hart Lane with a lot of things in their minds, the whole stadium was empty, even the home team players were gone.

Carl looked a little unsatisfied.

Beckham walked slowly on purpose: "I still have to talk about it after the game is over, are you ready for endless?"

"The focus of the medicine is effective."

"Any heavier will make it a hair dryer." Beckham muttered.

"What did you say?" Karl seemed not to hear clearly.

Beckham coughed lightly: "I said that your appearance in the locker room just now is a bit familiar."

"Ferguson."

"?!"

"I heard you say I'm a hair dryer."

"!!!"

"...David, don't run away! I'm not angry!"

……

After the bitter battle with Tottenham, the players of Munich 1860 dragged their tired bodies on the flight back to Germany. Karl suspended tomorrow's training plan and gave them a day off. After all, there will be a Bundesliga match in three days, and a week later The Lions will have a second fight with Tottenham again, and the players need adequate rest in order to recover their strength as soon as possible.

As for Carl, he stayed in London for an extra night, packed up and went to Cheltenham, a small town in Gloucestershire, the next day.

In the early eighteenth century, because there were always pigeons pecking at the salty sediment by the spring, the people of Cheltenham discovered that the local hot spring water had a therapeutic effect on the human body. The well-known hot spring resort, after King George III personally patronized it, Cheltenham developed rapidly and became a resort for vacation and recuperation for the nobles and rich people in the most prosperous period in Britain. The British royal family, poets Byron, Dickens, Daniel People such as Defoe and Jane Austen have lived here for a long time.

To this day, Cheltenham still retains a large number of ancient buildings from the Regency period (1810-1830), and a large number of tourists flood in every year when the horse racing festival, literary festival and music festival are held.

It was not uncommon to meet Ferguson at Britain's oldest horse racing event, he had long heard that Ferguson had a horse entered for the Gold Cup (one of the most important races at the Cheltenham Festival), and The odds have just been reduced from 17:1 to 13:1 by the bookmaker, making it one of the favorites to win.

"Uncle Alex." Carl stepped forward to say hello.

Dressed casually, Ferguson also dressed up for today, a full set of gentleman's outfit, hat, tie, coat, trousers and even shoes are all in the same color, but unfortunately his belly is a bit round, and the light gray suit jacket is a bit tight taut.

Ferguson laughed as soon as he saw Carl: "Ha, here comes the 'small hair dryer'!"

Carl smiled too.

"Small Hairdryer" is the nickname given to him by The Sun just now. The pervasive English tabloid reporters somehow learned of everything that happened in the dressing room of the visiting team at White Hart Lane yesterday, and they are afraid that the world will be wrong in today's news. Randomly said, "Auston became Ferguson's second as soon as he returned to England. The methods he used to motivate players at halftime are exactly the same as the old man of Manchester United. It would be great if there were pinhole cameras installed in White Hart Lane. Ah, I really want to see the look on Beckham's face when Auston goes crazy in the dressing room..."

Ferguson didn't like the media calling him a "hairdryer", but he was very proud of reporters saying that Karl coached like himself.

The two walked towards the stables while chatting. Ferguson wanted to tell the riders a few more words before the start of the race, and Carl was holding the camera to take pictures of Andorinia.

After coming out of the stables, Carl looked at the time and was about to find his own stand box, but he heard a slightly surprised greeting from the front: "Auston?"

Carl turns and sees a redhead.He smiled and nodded: "Good afternoon, Mr. Abramovich."
