The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 387 You will get used to it!

Coach&Horses, this is a very famous top restaurant in London. It is located in the Soho district where high-end office buildings are densely populated. It is also the current headquarters of the Football Association. It is said that the most famous feature of this restaurant is that its decoration looks like an English bar. The most famous specialties are smoked herring, crispy pork belly and coriander sauce.

Ye Qiu is a person who likes to eat, but he has only been to this famous restaurant in London once, not because of the bad taste, but because of the name, the coach and the horse, let me go, as a head coach, Going to such a restaurant to eat, I feel full from the name, how can I eat it?
There is also a Coach&Horses in Tottenham, but he adds a The before his name, and he is not a restaurant, but a very traditional English pub, and he does not have so many special dishes, he only has geography Location.

He is the two most famous bars near the White Hart Lane Stadium, one is them, and the other is called Brickson.

From the implication of the name and the imitation of high-end restaurants, it can be seen that there are more poor people in the middle and lower reaches of London gathered around Tottenham, and those middle-class people who are full of streets are just a group of people who want to eat. People who leave but haven't saved enough money, once they have saved enough money, they will go south without hesitation.

For many of them, Tottenham is no longer the middle-class enclave it was all those years ago.

But for more people who have no ability to escape from Tottenham, who don't even have a job, and whose life is very problematic, escape is impossible, and all they can do is a On the one hand, he is receiving the government's CSSA, and on the other hand, he is enjoying the hardships as much as possible.

Football has undoubtedly become their best place to vent, and alcohol has become their best prop to anesthetize themselves.

Therefore, every Tottenham Hotspur game, whether it is the coach and the horse, or the bricklayer, is overcrowded.

The exterior decoration of the two bars does not seem to be much different from other shops facing the street. From the outside, you can hardly tell that this is a bar. It is not even written on the signboard. People who don’t know the inside don’t understand it at all. The meaning of English words such as Sky TV and EPSN on the signboard.

That means that the store provides live TV broadcasts from Sky TV and EPSN TV, and these two words are the most powerful props used to attract fans.

Of course, it's during the day, once it's night, it's very obvious, and if it's a game day, you don't have to think about it at all, anyone passing by outside can see what's going on inside, can see This is the fan bar.

The lighting doesn't have to be bright and dazzling, the decoration doesn't have to be magnificent, and even all the facilities don't have to be perfect. As long as you have wine and a football game, your bar can be full.

After 22:[-] in the evening, there are very few cars on the road. After all, Tottenham is not a bustling area in London, and the surrounding area seems a little quiet. I believe that many people have already fallen asleep.

But all of a sudden, they came out of nowhere, and on the street less than 200 meters away, two groups of people suddenly rushed out. At first glance, it looked a bit like a gang fight in a Hong Kong underworld movie. Many people were holding beer bottles in their hands, looking fierce and ready to fight.

Soon, the two groups of people gathered together and walked south all the way. Many people kept shouting loudly along the way, "Tottenham Hotspur! Tottenham Hotspur! Fuck Arsenal!" !!"

There are more and more people on the road. Less than 100 meters south from the two bars, there is a building similar to a gas station. I heard that this used to be a gas station, but now it has been transformed into Tottenham Hotspur. A fan store, and every game will provide live TV signals here, attracting some fans to stop and even enter the store for consumption.

Therefore, when this group of people came to the fan shop, they immediately attracted hundreds of Tottenham Hotspur fans who stopped here to watch the game, and many fans who entered the fan shop for consumption also rushed out of the shop. Adding in the fans rushing out from all directions, the number quickly exceeded a thousand.

"3:0, kill Arsenal!!"

"Great Tottenham Hotspur! We finally won the North London derby!"

A group of people shouted slogans loudly and continued to walk south along Haig Road. It didn't take long to arrive at Holloway Road where the Emirates Stadium is located. Because the game just ended, there were many fans gathered here, like a tide. The police, on the other hand, maintained order at the scene as if facing an enemy.

Soon, I saw the bus with the Arsenal logo on the body slowly driving out of the corridor of the Emirates Stadium, and there was a burst of thunderous boos at the scene, whether it was Tottenham Hotspur fans, Still the Arsenal fans booed.

Many Tottenham Hotspur fans held up a piece of cards with a huge number 3 written on it, in order to satirize and sarcasm this Arsenal team, telling them, we are here with you defeated you 3-0 at home. From now on, the North London Derby will no longer be your personal show for Arsenal!
The Arsenal fans were angrily booing the team. They were very dissatisfied with Wenger's formation, because they all felt that the team should play with more backbone, at least even if they lost, they would lose. You have to have a backbone, and you can't be like a softie and a bitch, shrinking in your own half and letting your opponent bombard you indiscriminately in your home court. That's not the style of a strong team.

But hush hush hush, when Arsenal fans heard the booing and sarcasm of Tottenham Hotspur fans, they immediately counterattacked, their own children can scold by themselves, but others want to criticize, especially the sworn enemy , there are no doors.

Fans from both sides made a lot of noise on the sidelines. The policemen were like small boats on the sea in a storm, but they still maintained the order of the scene.

And soon, when the Tottenham Hotspur team bus drove out of the Emirates Stadium, there was a burst of boos at the scene, which was obviously revenge from the Arsenal fans, but soon, Tottenham Hotspur The Spurs fans let out a burst of louder cheers, but this is their territory after all, and the Arsenal fans are so numerous that their boos were significantly higher.

But the Tottenham Hotspur fans did not show weakness at all because of this, and they did not complain about losing to the opponent in terms of momentum. Many people even wrote cards on the spot.

"Hush, Arsenal fans, shush, you'll get used to it!"

"Welcome to continue booing at White Hart Lane two weeks later!"

Tottenham Hotspur fans are not ashamed of being booed by their opponents because of the victory. On the contrary, they are very proud, because Arsenal fans obviously have nothing to do with them. The more they boo, the more they will expose. They expressed their dissatisfaction with the team and their helplessness towards their mortal enemy.

Once upon a time, Tottenham Hotspur fans booed Arsenal like this, and even they booed more fiercely, and they did not hesitate to fight. It was because they had no choice. Tottenham Hotspur could not beat Arsenal on the pitch. Being able to solve opponents in one's own way, one counts as one being able to solve one.

It's all right now, the situation is reversed, and he has no choice but to become his sworn enemy. Is there anything more enjoyable in this world than this?Could there be a more exciting revenge than this?

This time, Tottenham Hotspur fans walked slowly with the team bus, as if they were surrounded by the team that had just won the championship and returned in triumph. For them, defeating Arsenal in this game is It is more ecstatic than winning a championship.

This is the derby. Its significance lies not in the points it brings, but more in the feeling of stepping on the dead enemy, the feeling of happy enmity and killing the enemy!
3:0 victory over Arsenal, completed a beautiful revenge battle, which immediately made Tottenham Hotspur receive praise from the media all over the UK, and even the whole of Europe, especially Tottenham Hotspur The tyrannical strength displayed in the game made everyone feel the rapid rise of this team.

The Times concluded that as long as the current performance is maintained, Tottenham Hotspur's entry into the top four of the league is not a big problem, and the team most likely to be squeezed out by Tottenham Hotspur is Arsenal.

This also makes Tottenham fans very excited, because they all hope that the team can step on the shoulders of their arch-rivals, enter the coveted top four in the league, and advance to the UEFA Champions League next season.

But just when all Tottenham Hotspur fans had full confidence in the team, three days later, the team ushered in their opponents in the 23rd round of the league. After leading twice at home, they were equalized twice by Newcastle. Unfortunately, it was a 2:2 draw with Newcastle at home.

In an interview with the media at the press conference after the game, Ye Qiu said that the team has been fighting continuously for a while, and the players are very tired. Pani, Ye Qiu continued to support him. He believed that Kompany did not need to blame himself for conceding two goals.

"All great defenders have made continuous mistakes and made continuous progress before finally allowing themselves to complete their transformation in strength. Vincent is a young player who is only 20 years old. We should not have too much respect for him. Demanding, on the contrary, we should adopt a more tolerant attitude to look at his mistakes."

"In this game, his state is not very ideal, but he also contributed to the team with high balls and many times of defense. I believe this game will be a very meaningful exercise for him. , he can learn more from it, and then help him improve himself!"

In fact, this is indeed Kompany's mistake, but part of the reason is that Tottenham's central defenders have always performed poorly against some speedy forwards, and this game because of Tia Go Silva fought continuously, and Ye Qiu chose Kompany to partner with Hangeland. As a result, Kompany was blown away by Newcastle's speedy striker Martins. Ye Qiu was also responsible for this.

But with Thiago Silva unable to play, Kompany and Hangeland are the best lineup that Ye Qiu can arrange. The other is Mike Dawson, not to mention Mike? Dawson's defense is frizzy, let alone his speed, if he is partnered with Hangeland, it almost represents a tragedy.

Fortunately, Everton also drew in this game, so the point gap between the two sides has not changed, but Arsenal defeated Blackburn, further widening the gap with Tottenham Hotspur, fifth in the league .

In the next week, Tottenham Hotspur started a round of adjustments after the Christmas schedule. After such a long and intensive schedule, everyone on the team was in a state of mental and physical need for rest. Time slot, so Ye Qiu took advantage of this week to give the team a day and a half of rest, and the training was more about adopting adjustment strategies.

A week later, Tottenham Hotspur drew 1:1 with their city rivals Fulham. One person was lost, but this also allowed Fulham to adopt a 52-man tight defense tactic, making it difficult for Tottenham Hotspur to open the situation.

Later, Alves' back-up helped Tottenham Hotspur knock on Fulham's goal, but Kompany, who started again, tripped his opponent when facing veteran Montella and gave Fulham took a penalty and Montella made it.

In this way, Tottenham Hotspur drew 1:1 with Fulham away.

After this game, Kompany was attacked by almost all the media. The 20-year-old teenager was bombarded by Tottenham fans because he started two consecutive games and made two consecutive mistakes. , thinking that his performance is not worthy of Tottenham Hotspur's main position.

Ye Qiu affirmed Kompany's performance on the contrary, and still insisted firmly that Kompany will continue to get opportunities to perform and compete, because he will become the future of Tottenham Hotspur.

As a player, Kompany, while apologizing for his mistakes, has repeatedly stated that he will not think too much about mistakes. He will learn from his mistakes and help himself to make progress. The maintenance and trust of the head coach, he hopes to prove himself with his performance in the game.

Ye Qiu has always adopted a more tolerant attitude towards young people's mistakes and mistakes. At least he never doubted Kompany's potential, and he always believed that all great players were abused. The mistakes of the midfielders are less obvious, while the mistakes of the midfielders are easier to be magnified.

As for Montella's mistake, it was actually Ribery who was trying to break through with the ball in the front court and was blocked, and then he was hit by a counterattack.

If we really want to investigate, Franck Ribery's mistakes led to a counterattack and also caused Tottenham Hotspur's hasty defense. Therefore, in many cases, things have to be viewed from the overall situation. This is the vision that a head coach should have.

But this time Tottenham Hotspur was not so lucky. The team suffered a draw with Fulham, but Everton killed Wigan. This caused Tottenham Hotspur's league ranking to fall to sixth. But Everton replaced it and returned to fifth place. Many people also began to criticize Tottenham Hotspur, who had two consecutive draws, thinking that this team did not have the strength to hit the top four in the league. The bench is not thick enough, but it insists on multi-line combat.

Also in this round, Arsenal defeated Manchester United 2:1 at home, and Liverpool defeated Chelsea 2:0 at home. The two strong dialogues attracted the attention of the world, and Chelsea's game finally made Mourinho again Once exposed to the fire of the media, because Ferreira, who he advocated the introduction of, became the number one culprit in losing the game.

As the season progressed, Chelsea's contradictions were gradually exposed, especially when Ye Qiu and Ribery, who switched to Tottenham Hotspur this season, performed better in Tottenham Hotspur. The more contentious Chelsea is.

At the beginning of the season, Mourinho once said that relying on this group of children, Ye Qiu could get nothing. He even ridiculed that Ye Qiu came to avoid relegation, and at that time Tottenham Hotspur were really poor. One step into the relegation zone.

But now, Tottenham Hotspur can be said to have wiped out all the lead, made a comeback, and reached the forefront of the league in one breath. The performances of players such as Ribery, Messi, Fabregas and Van Persie can all be said to shine , In turn, Chelsea's performance is far from the dominance of the past few years.

As early as last season, many media believed that Mourinho's team lacked dominance, so that they could not show the kind of stable strength advantage similar to Ye Qiu's two years of coaching in the Premier League. In the past two years under Mourinho's coaching, Chelsea's strength has been declining year by year.

"When we say that Chelsea's strength has declined, it doesn't mean that they are weaker than when Ye Qiu was in charge. In fact, we can see that Chelsea is indeed stronger than Ye Qiu was in charge, but at least they are not weaker. The problem is, when you When you stand still, your opponents are improving by leaps and bounds, such as Manchester United this season, the strength of this team has improved rapidly this season."

"So, when we look at Chelsea's strength from a relative perspective, we have to find that Chelsea has not improved at all. Mourinho seems to have picked up Ye Qiu's tactics in the first year of coaching Chelsea and went back. And then go further to carry this set of tactics to the end, as everyone knows, Ye Qiu took the risk to adjust his tactics back then because he saw through this set of tactics and his opponents would see through, but now Chelsea has gone back to this old path."

"In the beginning, you can rely on the strength of your players and your opponent's strength to achieve stable results, but when your opponent's strength improves by leaps and bounds, you will inevitably perform worse and worse."

And the media has been emphasizing that even though Mourinho has changed a large number of people after he came to Chelsea, in fact, Ye Qiu's central axis is reused in his bones, such as Drogba, Makelele, Lampa De, Terry and other players, and every player he let go performed well, such as the four of Ribery, or Evra and Van der Sar who joined Manchester United.

Chelsea's transfers and signings in the past two years have been controversial, and this season, this controversy is even more obvious, but the terrible thing is that Frank Arnesen as Abramovich and Pini Zaza Harvey's spokesperson has entered the Chelsea management. He doesn't just want youth training. As the season progresses, he has more and more power in his hands, and has even diluted the team's decision-making power in Mourinho's hands.

On the one hand, this is due to the poor performance of the players introduced by Mourinho, such as Ferreira, Maniche, Thiago, Quaresma and other players. Strategy to manage the team, so Mourinho's complaints and news of Chelsea's infighting often appear in the media.

This also makes many Chelsea fans feel bored with the current situation of the team. Even though Chelsea currently occupy the top spot in the league, Manchester United is closely behind. At this time, there is news of infighting in the team, which naturally makes the fans feel uneasy.

Whether it was in the media or at Stamford Bridge, many Chelsea fans expressed their nostalgia for Ye Qiu's time, thinking that at least the team was stable in those two years, and Ye Qiu could always put the overall situation first.

But now, Ye Qiu only belongs to Tottenham Hotspur!
