The biggest fanatic in football

February 1st.

When Pochettino announced his squad at the pre-match press conference, the watching media immediately expressed their disappointment with boos.

There was no Kane, Eriksen, Rose, Walker, or Lloris. Tottenham's head coach actually sent out more than half of his youth training players in the second round!

These players are even two years younger than Lee Polo!

"You are only behind by two goals, why do you want to give up?"

"Think about Super Depor, think about Liverpool in Istanbul, are you lacking in sportsmanship by doing this?"

"You are a Premier League team, there is no need to give in in front of a League Two team, right?"

"You did this, how could you have the nerve to laugh at Liverpool before?"

…

Faced with a flood of doubts and ridicules from reporters at the scene, Pochettino had no reaction:

"I think that a team's energy is limited after all. We need to make a balance between the league and the cup, and make trade-offs when necessary. Under the current circumstances, I prefer the team to focus on the Premier League.

League, as long as we can qualify for the European competition in the end, today's sacrifice will be worth it."

His words are not unreasonable. After all, even if they can reverse tomorrow, they will face Liverpool or Chelsea in the final, and these two teams are Tottenham's victims in this year's league!

They were massacred by Chelsea with three goals in the away game. After returning to the home court, they used Kane's home advantage to score 5-3 to save some face.

Against the weak Liverpool, Tottenham was not as good as against Chelsea. They suffered a small loss 2:3 in the away game, but it was even worse when they returned to home, losing 0:3!

Facing these two teams, Pochettino is not sure of victory.

Be more confident and replace "must win" with "draw" too!

He was almost psychologically affected by these two teams!

Rather than hoping to be defeated by the Red Army or Blue Army in the final, it would be better to go home directly in the semi-finals, which at least would not be too sad.

After all, in the field of sports, the runner-up is always the loser...

With this mentality, on the evening of February 2, the Tottenham Youth Army politely visited the King's Turf Stadium.

Wimbledon, which was originally full of fighting spirit, immediately lost its enthusiasm after seeing these young guys. Lee Polo even gave up his pre-match "trash talk" provocation and played with his opponents for 90 minutes.

The scene of this game was very dull for a time.

Although the opponent was only a youth team, the cautious Adele still decided to defend comprehensively. In order to achieve the best defense, he did not even send Akinfenwa to play. Instead, he arranged Dubis, who was good at counterattack, in front.

But until he was substituted in the 75th minute, Dubis did not get much chance to counterattack. Instead, Aziz, who replaced him, stole the ball from Tottenham's young defender 3 minutes later, and then directly broke through the substitute himself.

The goalkeeper’s fingers...

"Dip, drip, drip~~"

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the cheers from the King's Lawn players were not as enthusiastic as expected.

Including Adre, everyone's attention has long been no longer on this decisive battle, but on another powerful dialogue dozens of kilometers away:

Chelsea vs Liverpool at home!

Cox glanced at the tablet in his hand and told everyone helplessly:

"They tied the game and it's going to overtime!"

Adelai nodded and announced to the players who had just left the field:

"It's still early, everyone should return to the video room immediately. We want to continue watching the live broadcast!"

The players who played defensive tactics for 90 minutes were a little unhappy at first. After hearing his instructions, they all complained:

"Tsk~ This is labor exploitation!"

"Invading my personal time!"

"We are going to report you to the players union with your real name!"

Adele glared:

"This is the best opportunity to study the opponents in the finals in advance. If someone is unwilling, I can only exclude him from the finals list!"

The players immediately surrounded him and ran to the video room:

"Let's go, let's see who has a grandson!"

“We love watching live broadcasts the most!”

“Free competition, so delicious!”

-

Entering the video room, three minutes into overtime.

In the picture, Liverpool still has a three-centre-back formation. Except for Sterling replacing Lambert as the forward striker and Moreno replacing Manquillo, their other nine starting players are the same as those against Wimbledon.

Exactly the same, I don’t know how superstitious Rogers is about this style of play...

However, after watching the game for half a minute, Cox told the players that Liverpool had used two substitutions. Glen Johnson replaced Sakho, who made frequent mistakes, and Balotelli replaced Lulu.

Inaction Malkovich.

Upon hearing the second substitution, Li Polo basically concluded:

"Liverpool is finished."

Markovich at least still has the determination and courage to go it alone. Balotelli now...is really useless!

As soon as Lee Poirot finished speaking, Hazard dribbled the ball past two people and was brought down by Skrtel. Chelsea won a well-positioned free kick in the frontcourt.

Winger William took a free kick, and defender Ivanovic scored with a header!

The score that had been maintained for 94 minutes was finally changed, 1:0!

Mourinho raised his arms and shouted on the sidelines, and the Stamford Bridge stadium sang praises for their hero!

When the game restarted, all Chelsea players retreated and used Mourinho's best bus tactics!

But Liverpool, who was forced into a desperate situation, replaced Moreno with Lambert at the last moment, pinning their last hope on the 33-year-old forward veteran!

Then Mourinho slapped his thigh and replaced his ace killer-"Warcraft" Drogba!

Whether it's compared to bench depth or substitution adjustments, you Rogers is far behind!

After all... when Mourinho first took charge of the Blue Bridge, Rogers was just an ordinary coach in the Chelsea youth academy!

If you want to talk about qualifications, you have to at least call the magic bird "Master"!

"The overall situation has been decided, Rogers is indeed no match for Mourinho."

Adele shook his head:

"The final is just one month away, and our opponent...is the biggest favorite to win the Premier League this season, Chelsea."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little quiet.

The players who were still pointing out the game just now invariably closed their mouths. Some lowered their gazes, while others tried their best to keep calm.

Adele took in their reactions, and he wasn't surprised at all.

Mourinho's Chelsea are almost invincible in the Premier League this season. As of the 23rd round of the league, they have only lost to two teams!

One was a 3:5 away defeat to Tottenham, and the other was a 1:2 away defeat to Newcastle United!

You know, even Wimbledon, which is very dominant in the English second league, has lost 4 games. You can imagine how stable the Blue Army of Magic Bird is!

"Keep your heads up, guys!"

Akinfenwa clapped his hands:

"Everyone thinks we are the dark horse, why can't we stay dark to the end?"

Adre was very satisfied with his attitude:

"Yes, we are a crazy gang!"

Third captain Phillips, former captain Moore, and Arsenal youth training member Shea also encouraged their teammates:

"What's so scary about Chelsea?"

"Tottenham can beat them 3:5, but we just beat Tottenham 3:0!"

Pochettino couldn't help but sneeze on his way home.
