American Fortune Life

At around 5 pm on January 22, 2008, the streets of the Bailu Lane stadium were occupied by fans from all directions.

In the second round of the semifinals of the English League Cup, Spurs played at home against Arsenal, their rival in the city.

This stadium is the Premier League's well-known "Home of the Devil", and is considered to be a court that has spelled the visiting away because the Premier League's powerhouses rarely take advantage here.

Since the start of the Premier League in 1992, Liverpool and Arsenal, the city's rivals, have won very few victories here. Manchester United has also been plagued by the "White Hart Lane Curse", which was not achieved here until April 2003. A victory.

"The so-called magic spell is actually the home court advantage. The length and width of the White Hart Lane are short. The lack of space on the court is not conducive to the team that controls the ball. Teams that play pass and control, such as Barcelona and Assen Na, the courts are too large in the normal range, and they are trying to open up the space. The teams that fight back are generally smaller, such as Stamford Bridge. "

David Dunn smiled and explained to Andy standing in front of the box floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the entire stadium.

"Well, it seems that being the second smallest stadium in the Premier League has an advantage. I like the atmosphere here. The momentum is not weaker than the 80,000 New York Metropolitan Stadium. Especially in that area, oh my god, don't they Will you be tired? "

Andy lamented the madness of the White Hart Lane stadium, and the fans' singing seems to have never stopped, especially the position of the East Stand.

There is a three-story fan stand on the east stand, occupying one side of the entire bottom line, like a three-story birthday cake, full of people, and all the singing starts from here.

"Those are the diehards of Spurs. Almost everyone grew up there, just like a tradition. They would take their children to watch the game and then teach them to sing a team song."

"This is the most wonderful picture on the football field!" Andy expressed his admiration for the loyalty of these fans.

"How big is our victory in this game?"

Hearing the boss ’s question, David Dunn also smiled helplessly: "The problem is not big. In recent seasons, the League Cup has been the stage for Wenger to test bench players and second team members. He doesn't pay much attention ... "

"To break the" gunner's curse "that plagues Tottenham, I don't like it, and I hate Arsenal's law that must be higher than Tottenham!" Andy stared at David Dunn with a gaze.

"Relax, boss, Heynckes and I will keep an eye on the rest of the league. There will never be a capsize!" David Dunn, who has been an Arsenal club manager for many years, is really better than the old club. Everyone knows familiarity, not to mention that he has cooperated with Wenger for many years. In fact, Arsenal have no secrets in front of David Dunn.

As night fell, the Bailu Lane Stadium was extremely brightly lit, and the cheers of the fans rang through the entire Bailu Lane.

With the referee's whistle, Tottenham and Arsenal, a pair of deadly rivals in the same city that were sizzled by the media, started a new fight.

On the big screen, Andy Smith was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the box. Everyone was stunned, and then cheers broke out. After all, the American local boss has acquired a series of measures since the acquisition of Tottenham. welcome.

The former manager of the enemy is now the manager of their club, the famous coach, the player reinforcements, the superstar introduction ...

Hearing the cheering of the audience, Andy reached out with a smile and waved, but soon the big screen and the attention of the fans were attracted by the game on the court.

Spurs made a perfect start, and the first goal shot in the second minute formed a goal!

Tottenham spurred offense with a big foot in the backcourt. The midfielder gave the ball to Ronaldinho with long hair. Arsenal next to him guarded the two of them. They didn't pay close attention. The ball hit the left post and bounced into the net, 1-0!

As Ronaldinho ran and cheered and celebrated, the White Deer Lane stadium gave a buzzing and deaf cheering sound, and Andy clapped his hands vigorously, "Perfect start!"

In the next game, Tottenham almost dominated Arsenal. In the 26th minute, Spurs set a goal kick near the midfield. They are good at headers. Arsenal players accidentally set their own goal when they fight, 2-0!

The cheering celebration with laughter sounded through the entire White Deer Lane, but after 3 minutes, the undecided Arsenal was almost going to hell! Bell turned offside to get a single-handed opportunity, but his push was rejected by the left goalpost. Halftime score, 2-0, Tottenham dominated the scene and achieved the due lead!

From the beginning of the second half, Arsenal went all-out offensive, but the gunner was stabbed again after 3 minutes of re-opening! Lennon counter-attacked the long pass and found Keane on the right, who used the speed to get rid of Arsenal's defense and the goalkeeper succeeded, 3-0!

In the 60th minute, White Hart Lane turned into a jubilant ocean again! Tottenham's series of passing and cooperating, in the end Lennon lived up to expectations and volleyed at the right rib to rewrite the score to 4-0!

Seeing that the situation was settled, Heynckes hurriedly replaced his three generals, Ronaldinho, Keane and Bell, while protecting them, letting these three heroes accept the cheers of the fans.

In order to avoid the embarrassment of greater scores, Wenger finally did not pretend to replace the main force of the snow. In the 70th minute, the three main teams of Arsenal made a wonderful cooperation. Scored a goal to save face, 4-1!

In the following games, Tottenham still had the opportunity to expand the score, but they were wasted, but the Spurs fans no longer care. The song of victory rang through the White Hart Lane stadium. The fans of Tottenham have been waiting 9 Time of year!

Andy laughed with satisfaction, high-fiving with the team's management and box staff to celebrate, a big victory, now only waiting for the whistle to sound, to accept the cheers and celebration of the audience.

However, the game did not end there. Tottenham made a long pass in the third minute of stoppage time. The Tottenham teenager chased wildly.

Arsenal suffered the biggest defeat of the season at White Hart Lane, and were eliminated by a total score of 2-6. This is also the Gunners' biggest defeat since the defeat of Manchester United 1 to 6 in February 2001.

Andy Smith's Spurs won the hearts of all Spurs fans through this game and became the most hated American of Arsenal fans.

Because after the game, Andy hired a nightclub in London to relax and celebrate the players who were still excited, of course, with the consent of Coach Heynckes.

The paparazzi in London are collectively excited, and do everything they can to mix it into the nightclub that was reserved. After all, a great victory has just spread, and with the addition of the super rich boss Andy Smith, tonight Nightclub parties may not be as lively.

The happiest nature is to count the nightclub ram Ronaldinho. This guy is holding a pair of big teeth, holding two hot bee waists, and drinking his head, drinking the **** a champagne that the beauty pours into his mouth.

He was naturally very happy. He left Barcelona and joined Tottenham. Many media said that he was for the pound. Women's clubs had emptied his body and ball skills, and he was finished.

But although he slowly applied Tottenham, he began to show the style and sharpness of the superstar again, and hit the faces of the **** paparazzi in London with one goal after another.

"Boss, why are you sitting alone?" Ronaldinho pushed away the two hot girls in his arms, took the golden apricot **** a champagne in the woman's hand, and sat next to Andy with a big tooth and a smile. Asked Portuguese.

Andy smiled and held the champagne glass and touched him. After taking a sip, he took Ronaldo's shoulder and said in Portuguese, "I don't want to make a gossip headline the next day, and ..."

Said Andy raised an eyebrow and whispered, "Nothing I like."

Ronaldinho smiled ambiguously: "I called to call a few female stars to play, how about Cheryl?"

Andy couldn't help looking at Ronaldinho, and hurriedly whispered, "You guy and Cheryl have a tui?"

"Haha, how could it be ..." Ronaldinho laughed twice, and saw Andy's suspicious eyes, whispered and awkwardly said: "She is not interested in me, but she and her powdered old just cold war recently I often come to the club to play before I meet. "

A few flashes in Andy's eyes, and finally said with a smile: "then ask a few friends to celebrate, I'm a Cheryl fan!"
