The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 402 Flattened! !
Standing at the Navarra Kingdom Stadium with nearly 2 people, Ye Qiu looked calm on the surface, but was full of surprises inside.

If he were to describe his mood at this moment in one sentence, he believed that a piece of pie must have fallen from the sky, and unfortunately, this piece of pie just fell into his mouth, and He also ate with gusto.

Came to Spain, challenged Osasuna away, Ye Qiu arranged many substitute players to play.

Petr Cech in goal, Gareth Bale, Kompany, Thiago Silva and Arbeloa in defense and Huddlestone, Lucas and Yaya Arbelo in midfield Toure, the front trident is Asavin, Van Persie and Cavani, of which Cavani was pulled to the right and Van Persie was in the center.

After Ye Qiu announced the team roster, although he has repeatedly emphasized that the team will do its best to compete for the UEFA Cup, everyone can guess that Tottenham Hotspur does not have enough strength to ensure that the team can fight on two fronts and concentrate their advantages Playing in the Premier League with all their strength, and trying their best to qualify for the Champions League next season, this is what Ye Qiu should do right now.

Not only Ye Qiu, but everyone in Tottenham Hotspur supported Ye Qiu in doing this. Who wouldn't want to play in the Champions League?
But it was unbelievable that the trend of this match was far beyond Ye Qiu's expectations.

The game had just started, and Tottenham Hotspur played a very threatening attack from the left. Arshavin dribbled the ball in from the left and then suddenly hit the side. Gareth Bale made a quick attack from the left. After getting the ball, he made a pass from the bottom, but was blocked by Osasuna's defensive player from the bottom line and took a corner kick.

At present, when Tottenham Hotspur is not in Beckham, the free kick is taken by Gareth Bale. For the corner kick, Van Persie's placement is better, so this time the corner kick is taken by Van Persie. .

The Dutchman stood in the corner area, gestured towards his teammates in the penalty area, and then directly kicked a precise arc ball, which fell to the front of the small penalty area. Although Thiago Silva is not tall, his jumping ability is very good , After jumping high, he shook his head at the ball, and the ball hung straight to the upper right corner of the goal, 1:0!

No one expected that Tottenham Hotspur would break the deadlock in the first minute after the start of the game. Ye Qiu was a little surprised. He even wondered if he had mobilized this group of substitute players. Worked?

But immediately afterwards, Osasuna began to tighten its defense, which is why this team was able to win the home dragon title in La Liga. Many teams in northern Spain are known for their tenacity and fierceness, such as Osasuna, Bi Teams such as Athletic de Erbao, Sporting Gijon, etc., they have all suffered at home for southern teams such as Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The biggest strength of these northern Spain teams is their tenacious and solid defense.

Although the Spanish team has always been known for their ball possession and skills, what is surprising in this game is that even though Tottenham Hotspur did not try their best to play, they took the initiative and possession of the game in the away game. Advantages, this is indeed very unexpected.

In fact, Osasuna has always been known for its fierce fighting in the past few years. Coach Javier Aguirre's defensive tactics and Osasuna's consistent style of play complement each other, and even if this Aguirre switched to Atletico Madrid this season, but Osasuna remained unchanged.

But as the game time passed, Osasuna's physical fitness began to be a little weak, especially in the second half, and the passive situation became more obvious. In the 61st minute, Cavani cut into the penalty area after receiving a pass from Arbeloa on the right. Kicked, but the ball was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper. After getting the ball, Van Persie swayed past the central defender and knocked back. Yaya Touré held Raul Garcia at the front of the penalty area, and volleyed vigorously, piercing Osasuna's goal , 2:0!

All the Osasuna fans at the scene quit, and everyone was protesting the player's performance.

But when their protests had not yet formed momentum, Osasuna had just re-kicked off, and the ball was quickly transferred to the hands of Tottenham Hotspur, and Tottenham Hotspur quickly reorganized. In an attack, Arshavin ran to the middle to get the ball and passed it through. Van Persie stepped in and shot in front of the goal, breaking Osasuna's goal again, 3:0!

Ye Qiu was standing at the Navarre Kingdom Stadium at this very moment, listening to the boos that filled his ears, he couldn't tell whether it was for Tottenham Hotspur, who was playing away, or Osasuna, who was playing at home. But at least this team did not show the slightest confidence and idea to reverse the situation.

Perhaps, at 1:0, they can still think about equalizing and reversing. At 2:0 and 3:0, it is difficult for them to have such an idea anymore. They can only watch Tottenham Hotspur from They took home a win.

Ye Qiu was full of surprises. After all, he still underestimated the strength and progress of his players.

After Ashawen came to Tottenham Hotspur this season, his performance was relatively mediocre, and he was difficult to integrate with the team in many cases, but judging from this game, he performed very well. The team made two passes and one shot to Van Persie, but Arshavin's performance was definitely not lost to Van Persie.

Cavani's progress is also obvious. The shot after cutting in from the right is very decisive, the angle is also very tricky, and the strength is well controlled. It can be seen that he has really learned a lot from his idol Ruud van Nistelrooy Things, and Cavani's game has a high degree of investment, and he is very desperate once he gets on the court.

As for Yaya Toure, Ye Qiu didn't arrange for him to be a late player in this match, and he performed very well, but Ye Qiu still felt that he should play a late player and change his style appropriately, because He believes that if Yaya Toure delays, he can achieve higher achievements.

In fact, even if Yaya Toure won the recognition of everyone in Manchester City in his previous life and helped Manchester City win the championship, but for him, there are still mixed reputations, but all professionals have to admit that he is far from some top midfielders. Even in Manchester City, David Silva won more recognition.

Sometimes when looking at the contribution of a player, you should not just focus on the statistics, goals and assists, but should see the overall situation.

But no matter what Ye Qiu thought in his heart, he was still happy that his players could sweep Osasuna 3-0 in the away game. With such a big victory in the away game, Tottenham Hotspur would undoubtedly advance to the semi-finals ahead of schedule. Yes, but this actually just shows the decline of the UEFA Cup.

On April 4th, Tottenham Hotspur played against Manchester City at White Hart Lane.

When the game progressed to the 10th minute, after a week of rest, Tottenham Hotspur took the lead in breaking Manchester City's goal. Cesc Fabregas's midfielder passed the ball over the top, and Ruud van Nistelrooy's restricted area After the inner chest stopped the ball, he turned around and volleyed 12 meters away from the goal, and the ball went straight to the bottom of the net.

This shot completely played Tottenham Hotspur's tide of offensive, and also laid down the momentum of Manchester City in the away game. Free style of play.

Usually, Tottenham Hotspur do not take the initiative to push up, but use the passes of Beckham and Fabregas to make Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ribery and Messi run to open up the space. They create a threat, and as long as they create a threat, the midfielder can ensure that the ball is passed to them in the first place.

The head coach of Manchester City, Stuart Pierce, has been controversial this season. Manchester City has always been lacking in combat effectiveness and performance. It has not yet completely escaped the relegation zone, and Stuart Pierce also accepted the invitation of the FA in February this year , will check out the England U2 national team at the end of the season.

Pierce is a well-known excellent left-back in England, and also the most famous legendary captain of Nottingham Forest in the 80s, and Manchester City under his coach also adopts the most traditional 442 tactics in England.

Manchester City's poor performance this season is mainly due to the team's internal strife and the news of acquisitions from the outside, which makes the Manchester City team internally dissatisfied, and Pierce is also dissatisfied with the stinginess of the board of directors. Keegan has a large transfer fee every season, but he doesn't.

Maybe it's because Pierce left after the season, or maybe the team's internal strife has already worn down the team's spirit, it is difficult for the Manchester City team that appeared at White Hart Lane to form enough against Tottenham Hotspur. threat.

In the 32nd minute, Franck Ribery and Vargas played from the left and then made a pass from the bottom. Van Nistelrooy leaned on Dunn in front of the goal and deliberately missed it. Afterwards, Messi cut into the penalty area from the right rib and scored the ball with his left foot. A curve ball hit the upper left corner of the goal, 2:0!

But only 8 minutes later, Tottenham Hotspur played another round of offensive. After getting the ball from the right, Beckham directly passed a cross, which landed precisely on Ruud van Nistelrooy's ball in the penalty area. Above the head, the Dutch striker hit with a hammer, 3:0!

Scored twice, which made Van Nistelrooy's Premier League goals this season as high as 27 goals. This is also the season with the most goals since Van Nistelrooy entered the Premier League. 02 goals in the 03 season, and counting the brace in this game, Van Nistelrooy has scored 25 goals.

Not only that, but there are still six rounds left in the Premier League. Many Tottenham fans hope that Ruud van Nistelrooy can make persistent efforts and strive to break through 30 goals, because in the Premier League, scoring 30 goals is a threshold, as long as one season is scored If you score [-] goals, you are eligible to be included in the ranks of legendary Premier League strikers.

Henry scored exactly 03 goals in the 04/30 season, and in the 99/00 season, Sunderland striker Phillips also scored 30 goals, and if you want to go further, it can only be traced back to ten years ago. In the 95/96 season, Alan Shearer scored 31 goals, and they have all been included in the ranks of the Premier League's legendary scorers.

Van Nistelrooy's performance this season is indeed very good. Tottenham Hotspur's entire offensive system revolves around him. Both the midfield and the two wings have created an endless stream of scoring opportunities for him. Ruud's scoring efficiency has always been very high, and many people even feel that Ruud is ushering in the second spring of his career at Tottenham Hotspur.

Not only the fans and the media have such hopes, Ruud van Nistelrooy also hopes to score more goals, he hopes to have the opportunity to keep pace with Premier League legends like Alan Shearer, but the premise is that he must continue to guarantee his own goals efficiency.

However, after scoring twice again, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Tottenham Hotspur failed to score again in the end. Instead, in the second half, the team slacked off and Manchester City scored a goal. Locked at 3:1, Tottenham Hotspur won the opponent at home without any risk.

"how is it going?"

"What about the result at Portsmouth?"

The game whistle had just sounded, and almost all the Tottenham Hotspur players ran towards the coach's bench, looking nervously at Ye Qiu and Roland, asking about another game that was being played at the same time in Portsmouth. the result of the game.

Roland looked at Ye Qiu, then at the group of Tottenham Hotspur players who were full of concern, and put on a regretful expression, which made Ye Qiu and Mauro Tassotti kept boasting in his heart that this fat man should go to Hollywood to make a movie, he is definitely at the level of an actor.

Seeing his disappointed expression, the players all thought that Arsenal had won, and were a little disappointed.

"It's okay, they didn't lose points in this round, let's continue in the next round!" Beckham cheered his teammates on the sidelines.

"Yes, sooner or later they will lose points, we just need to play our game well!" Ruud also encouraged his teammates.

Just as the players were about to shake their heads and leave the coaching bench, Fatty Luo finally couldn't help but burst out laughing, "It's a pity that our powerful Arsenal can't break Portsmouth's goal! "

"What do you mean?" Ribery was the first to react.

"0:0, Arsenal didn't score, it's a draw with Portsmouth!!"

Following Roland's words, everyone was stunned. They all looked around in disbelief, and then looked at Roland, whose face was smiling like a blooming sunflower. They all felt that this The Dutch fat man was untrustworthy and unreliable, so they all turned to look at Ye Qiu, who nodded.

"Wow!!!" The players screamed one by one at this time.

Arsenal are tied! !

What does this mean?
This means that Tottenham Hotspur has caught up with Arsenal and the two teams have the same points, but Tottenham Hotspur can rely on their better goal difference than their opponents this season and pull Arsenal out of the league. Four, while Tottenham Hotspur themselves successfully surpassed Arsenal and climbed to fourth place in the league.

"YAYYYYYYYYYYAH!!!"

The players rushed out of the stadium one by one in ecstasy, and at this time, the broadcaster at White Hart Lane also received the news, and immediately conveyed the news of the end of the game at Portsmouth and the score to all the players on the scene. Tottenham Hotspur fans know that for a moment, the entire White Hart Lane stadium seemed to become a sea of ​​celebration.

Who would have thought?Who would have thought that Tottenham Hotspur, once regarded as a favorite for relegation at the beginning of this season, would now be able to reach the top four in the league in one go?
Who would have thought that Tottenham Hotspur, who have been turbulent in the first half of this season and have not been able to bring confidence to the fans, will finally be able to complete their goal of reaching the top four in the league!

"YAYYYYYYYYYYAH!!!"

The players shouted one by one on and off the court, and they used this shout to vent their excitement.

Yes, the league is far from over now, and there are still six rounds to play. Next, Tottenham Hotspur will face a team as powerful as Chelsea, but this will not hinder Tottenham Hotspur at all. Stab the excitement and excitement in everyone's heart at this moment.

Fourth in the league, they finally reached the coveted fourth place in the league!

Ye Qiu also received news from Roland that Liverpool also drew this game, 2-2 with Charlton at Anfield.

Liverpool just played an away game in the first round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals in the middle of the week, and it was a big victory over their opponents. This will affect the performance of Benitez's team, so the home draw with Charlton is a big deal for Liverpool. It is not unacceptable to say that, because they have already stepped into the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Even Ye Qiu felt that Benitez had been constantly adjusting the team this season, and his goal might be the Champions League, because with the current strength of Liverpool, it is far from being able to compete with Manchester United and Chelsea, so Benitez It is not impossible for Stanley to choose the Champions League, which he is better at, as a breakthrough point, and the Red Army continues to sing in the FA Cup this season.

But what Ye Qiu saw was another side.

"Guys!" Ye Qiu walked out of the coach's bench and walked into the stadium. At this time, tens of thousands of Tottenham Hotspur fans saw him appear, and there was a burst of cheers, because this is Tottenham Hotspur reached the top four of the league for the first time in the past 17 years, which is something they could never have dreamed of.

With Ye Qiu's shout, all the players gathered around him. Veteran players such as Beckham, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Davis, who were standing on the sidelines and did not participate in the celebration, also leaned over.

"Liverpool is tied!" Ye Qiu told his players what he had just heard with a smile on his face.

Everyone was a little dazed, but soon realized what Ye Qiu meant.

"We are tied with Arsenal. It is not safe at all. If we accidentally lose points, we may be re-squeezed to the Champions League at any time, so we have to keep going. The gap between us and Liverpool is only three. point!"

According to Tottenham Hotspur's outstanding offensive ability this season, although the team conceded a lot of goals, in terms of goal difference, even Chelsea can't compare with Tottenham Hotspur, so as long as they can rush up, even if they score Similarly, Tottenham Hotspur can be sure to win the top row.

"I have to adjust our goals now. I found that I underestimated all of us and all of you at the beginning of the season. Now, while I am apologizing to you, I have also re-drawn our goals for the new season. Goal, the top three in the league, we have to go further, can we do it?"

If only from the perspective of the Champions League, there is not much difference between the top three and the top four, because they all have to play in the qualifiers, but if you look at the bonuses and benefits that can be obtained from the league rankings, the gap is about 500 million euros. This is also related to the number of broadcasts that Tottenham Hotspur have received this season because of the arrival of Ye Qiu and the subsequent joining of Beckham.

Almost every round of Tottenham Hotspur has been broadcast live this season, so the income from broadcast fees is not low.

"can!"

"must be able to!!"

The players confidently responded to the call of the head coach!
