The Godfather of Football

Chapter 613: The decisive blow!

When the ball passed the hands of Shakhtar Donetsk's main goalkeeper Piatov, went into the goal line and hit the net, Ramsey kept asking himself in his mind, did this goal really go in? How did it go in? Why did it go in? What did I do?

A lore!!!

A very simple lore, but at the same time full of the tactical style that Tottenham Hotspur has been adhering to for the past four years, 3:2, Tottenham Hotspur once again surpassed the score!

In the stands of the entire Donbass Arena, countless alcohol was splashed in the hands of the fans, and the fans were humiliating and cursing the Tottenham Hotspur players on the field one by one, and they were all venting their dissatisfaction with being scored.

Although many of them came to the scene for Tottenham Hotspur, they still felt that it was very uncomfortable to be scored by Tottenham Hotspur's stars. This may be very contradictory, but football itself is very contradictory.

Tottenham Hotspur's players celebrated wildly on the field. Ramsey, who had woken up from the surprise of scoring the winning goal, wanted to rush out of the field to celebrate, but somehow, his legs were pulled by his teammates, and he fell directly on the grass, and then he felt his teammates pressing him one after another.

The wet grass was stained with sweat or saliva, which was disgusting, but no one cared at this time!

Being pressed on the grass, Ramsey was facing the Tottenham Hotspur's visiting coaching bench. He saw the team's head coach Ye Qiu excitedly clenching his fists and shouting, with a face full of excitement and excitement, and beside him, the members of the coaching staff also hugged each other in twos and threes to celebrate, celebrating the winning goal at the critical moment.

This feeling is really wonderful!

"You guy, I passed the ball to you so that you could pass it to me, but you shot it yourself!" Neymar waited for Ramsey to get up from the ground, and then he put his arm around his shoulders with a smile. Their age difference was not that big, and they had a good relationship.

Just now, after passing the ball to Ramsey, Neymar did rush to the goal, which was also a kind of preparation. He had to be on guard against Ramsey's pass and also pick up leaks for Ramsey's shot. Although the probability was very slim, it was the responsibility of the player who was the only attacker on the team's forward line.

"I'll pass the ball to you next time!" Ramsey also hugged Neymar's shoulders tightly. A large part of the credit for this goal was due to Neymar, who made this beautiful assist for him, and another part of the credit was due to Coutinho, who passed the ball to Neymar from the left.

At this moment, Ramsey was wondering, what is the goal?

Perhaps, occasionally, scoring is a flash of inspiration for some talented stars, but most of the time, scoring is actually everyone in the team, who is actively working hard on their own job. They don't know whether they can score, nor do they think about whether they can score. They just focus on their own work and make some preparations.

Finally, when the chance to score came, he seized it!

This lore ball gave Ramsey a deeper understanding of football games, himself, and the team. He began to understand what Bobby Hams said, because this understanding is actually a kind of progress for him.

…………

…………

With Ramsey's lore ball, Tottenham Hotspur brought back a 3:2 victory from the away game, and also helped Tottenham Hotspur finally succeed in winning four consecutive group games, winning the first place in the group in advance, and successfully advanced to the round of 16 knockouts.

This lore goal made Aaron Ramsey, the 20-year-old Welsh youngster of Tottenham Hotspur, famous. If he helped the team beat Arsenal and Newcastle in the League Cup, and more people saw the team's effect, then this lore goal undoubtedly made him famous.

In the locker room after the game, head coach Ye Qiu was not stingy with his satisfaction with the performance of several players such as Ramsey, Neymar, Coutinho and Alba. He believed that at the critical moment, they performed their duties very well and helped the team to finally beat the opponent away and advance to the knockout stage in advance. He was very satisfied.

Not only that, Ye Qiu also promised that the next two group matches would give young players more opportunities to perform!

This promise made the young players in the team very excited, because they all needed opportunities and training very much. Now Ye Qiu's promise undoubtedly gave them such opportunities and hope, especially in the Champions League.

Which professional player in the world doesn't want to appear in the Champions League?

But after the team finished their away trip and returned to London, Ye Qiu immediately found Ramsey and praised Ramsey for his outstanding performance on the road. But he also told Ramsey that the team would refuse interviews from several newspapers because he didn't want Ramsey to be paid too much attention by the outside world.

"The most important thing for you now is to have a stable environment to learn how to play. If the media and reporters pay too much attention to you, when you perform well, they will do everything they can to praise you, and even make you feel proud. But when you perform poorly, they will take back all the praise they have given you, and then do everything they can to trample you to death!"

"Believe me, for the time being, the best environment for you is to not let those bees buzz around your ears!"

Ramsey was finally persuaded by his head coach. He promised not to accept any media interviews in private, but Ye Qiu was not so authoritarian. He said that Ramsey could accept an exclusive interview with the Welsh Mirror, a well-known newspaper in Wales. After all, Ramsey also hoped to leave his name in the hearts of the Welsh.

Ramsey unconditionally supported and was very satisfied with Ye Qiu's approach.

After the team returned to London from Donetsk, they had to go north again in just three days to challenge Bolton away.

Bolton, who played at home, put up an iron barrel-like defensive posture at their home court. From the beginning of the game, they launched a high-pressure tactic against Tottenham Hotspur, obviously hoping to use Tottenham Hotspur's two-line operation to crush the North London team.

Bolton's defense was very good in the first half, but it only lasted for 30 minutes. In the 31st minute, Cavani scored the first goal for Tottenham Hotspur, breaking the deadlock on the field.

But the second half was the decisive one, especially after the 55th minute. As Bolton's high-intensity defensive tactics consumed their physical energy, Tottenham gradually gained opportunities and space.

In the 55th minute, Marcelo took advantage of a chance to get in from behind, received a pass from Ribery, and scored a wonderful long shot in the same area as Roberto Carlos, scoring another goal for Tottenham.

This goal also completely sounded the offensive storm of Tottenham. In the next ten minutes, Messi scored two goals and Ribery also scored one goal. Tottenham quickly took a 5:0 lead.

But after taking a big lead, Tottenham did not stop there. Until the 82nd minute, Cavani assisted and Messi scored the sixth goal of the game for Tottenham, which was also another hat trick of his season!

The crazy goal-scoring game made Tottenham Hotspur sweep the Reebok Stadium, and the six-goal victory also disappointed those who thought that Tottenham Hotspur would slow down its pace due to multi-line operations, because Tottenham Hotspur's performance was not bad at all.

Ten consecutive wins and 23 unbeaten games at the same time are definitely a record worth celebrating for Tottenham Hotspur, especially in this winning streak, Tottenham Hotspur's efficiency in scoring points is amazing.

In the eleventh round of the Premier League, Newcastle finally ushered in a round of outbreak. With Ibrahimovic's goal, they defeated Arsenal 1:0 at the Emirates Stadium, which made the Gunners fans feel depressed because this defeat made them fall out of the top four of the league.

But at the same time, Liverpool relied on Torres and Villa's two goals to beat Chelsea 2:0 at home. Juan Mata also showed superb technical strength, contributed two assists, and led Liverpool to defeat the Blues Chelsea.

West Ham United also defeated Birmingham 2:0 and continued to chase the first group in the Premier League standings.

According to Ranieri, West Ham United will realize the dream of entering the top four in the second half.

Manchester City defeated West Bromwich Albion with two away goals and successfully ranked fourth in the league, stepping down Arsenal.

The new pattern of the Premier League has attracted the attention of fans all over the world, especially top superstars including Messi, Ribery, Fabregas, Rooney, Ibrahimovic, Torres, Villa, etc., who are now gathered in the Premier League, which has greatly enhanced the influence and momentum of the Premier League.

Although Tottenham Hotspur is still the only one in the Premier League this season, the competition is still very fierce, especially the competition for the top four in the league, which is even more intense. The teams are very close, and people can't see who is likely to enter the top four and become the new Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur finished the eleventh round of the Premier League on the 6th, and ushered in the twelfth round of the Premier League on the 10th, playing against Sunderland at home.

In the end, Tottenham Hotspur beat Sunderland 5-1 at home again, with Messi scoring a hat-trick again, Cavani scoring twice, and Ribery scoring an assist hat-trick. The trident performed very well.

Messi and Ribery's recent explosion has made many people think that they are using their outstanding performance and Tottenham Hotspur's impressive record to canvass votes for themselves in the FIFA Golden Ball Award. After all, in the past year, Tottenham Hotspur has always been the focus of fans all over the world.

Although Tottenham Hotspur did not laugh to the end in the Champions League, everyone knows that Tottenham Hotspur performed better. It was just a pity to lose to Manchester United in the semi-finals, but the performance of Tottenham Hotspur players including Messi and Ribery was not bad at all.

However, some people believe that considering the impact of the World Cup, Spanish players are more likely to win the first FIFA Ballon d'Or in history. After all, they won the World Cup. As for Manchester United, which won the Champions League, to be honest, there is no very convincing candidate, which is also a tragedy for a team-oriented team.

Messi has become the most popular candidate for the FIFA Ballon d'Or with two consecutive hat tricks and leading the Premier League scorer list. Ribery is also considered by the outside world to be very qualified to compete for a higher ranking, such as the top three.

Therefore, the two big stars of Tottenham Hotspur have begun to use their outstanding performances to canvass votes for themselves before the FIFA Ballon d'Or arrives, and Tottenham Hotspur is also actively using the team's influence and operational capabilities to create momentum for several players in the team, helping them to increase their influence and attention through operations.

In fact, this is also a problem that has always existed in the World Footballer of the Year, that is, basically the most famous one is chosen, such as the controversy when Figo, Rivaldo, Zidane and others won the World Footballer of the Year.

This type of selection can indeed work, but it is not as many people imagine, relying on buying and bribing, but relying on your strength and influence to operate your own stars, just like AC Milan's chairman Berlusconi personally called the editor-in-chief of French Football Magazine and asked them to choose Shevchenko.

It is difficult to say whether the French Football Magazine's choice of Shevchenko is reasonable. After all, Shevchenko's performance that year was indeed unconvincing, but Berlusconi's approach is actually a kind of operation, relying on his own relationships and connections and even influence.

In the same way, almost all clubs are the same in operating stars.

Assuming that both players perform well, it is okay for one to win the award and the other not to win the award, and there will be controversy. In this case, whoever has higher operating ability, higher popularity and attention will naturally have more advantages.

On this issue, Ye Qiu gave Peter Kenyon the power to operate, because this has gone beyond the scope of football. If he were to consider it from his personal feelings, he would choose to make up for Ribery. After all, the French scarface missed a personal highest award because of an injury in the final and in order to participate in the European Cup.

Ye Qiu promised him that he would help him regain a Champions League, but unfortunately, Messi performed better and became the first star in the team. In this case, all Ribery can do is assist Messi.

In fact, the French have always done this in the past, which makes Ye Qiu admire him very much. He would rather sell Messi than Ribery, but he always feels that he owes him something.

However, the cruel reality made it difficult for Ye Qiu to take care of and accommodate Ribery. Fortunately, the Frenchman was quite considerate of Ye Qiu.

When Tottenham Hotspur won a big victory over Sunderland, Chelsea also won a small victory over Fulham 1:0, Liverpool tied with Wigan Athletic 1:1, Manchester United tied with Manchester City 0:0 away, West Ham United tied with West Bromwich Albion 2:2, Arsenal beat Wolves 2:0 away, and Newcastle beat Blackburn 2:1 at home.

In this round of the Premier League, except for Tottenham Hotspur's big win, the performance of other teams can only be regarded as average, but because of this, Tottenham Hotspur has become more famous.

On the 13th, the Premier League ushered in the 13th round. Tottenham Hotspur sat at White Hart Lane and welcomed the Blackburn team led by Allardyce. This was also the third Premier League game in the past eight days.

During this difficult schedule, Chelsea fell behind one after another. Ancelotti's team lost 0:3 to Sunderland at home, which shocked Chelsea and even the whole world.

But Ye Qiu was not surprised by this, because he had already asserted that Chelsea's World Cup influence would be fully stimulated in the difficult schedule in November when Chelsea was in very good shape and won big victories at the beginning of the season.

In fact, Tottenham Hotspur ushered in a peak in the team's state in November, even at the end of October, including all the players participating in the World Cup, Messi, Ribery, Cavani and other players all ushered in the peak of their state, while Chelsea did not adjust the players in time, which led to their eye-catching performance in the early stage of the season, but in November, facing the torture and suffering of multi-line operations, their problems finally intensified.

Ancelotti refused to explain the reason to the outside world after the defeat, but some media revealed that this had a certain impact on Ancelotti's right-hand man, the assistant coach Wilkins who was loyal to Chelsea, not being renewed and leaving the team, which led to the morale of the team.

As for why Wilkins was not renewed, the inside story was soon revealed by the media, that is, there was a conflict between him and the club's CEO Pini Zahavi. The Israeli now even wanted to extend his power to the Cobham training base. After the conflict with Wilkins, he simply announced that he would not renew the contract with the latter.

Chelsea is a power struggle, while Manchester United is a player problem. Las Diarra has always been making a fuss about the salary issue. In addition, after Ferdinand was injured, the young player Evans was unable to take on the heavy responsibility. Manchester United drew 2:2 with Aston Villa away.

West Ham United, Newcastle and Manchester City all drew 0:0, which also reflects a problem of these local tycoon teams. When the main lineup is well adjusted and the team does not encounter too much difficulty, they can perform well, but once they encounter difficulties or even setbacks, they can easily lose morale.

Tottenham Hotspur defeated Blackburn 6:2 at home with Messi, Ribery and Cavani scoring twice. This is also the first time that Tottenham Hotspur has conceded more than one goal this season. It was interpreted by the outside world as forgetting to defend after the offense went crazy.

But with three consecutive big wins, who would care about how many goals Tottenham Hotspur conceded?

That is, after the 13th round, after a week of rest, Tottenham Hotspur ushered in the second North London derby of the season in the 14th round of the Premier League, challenging Arsenal away!
