I just wanted to play football, but I became a Hollywood god

Tottenham Hotspur Football Club was founded in 1882.

The glorious record of this club's ancestors can almost be called a giant.

Tottenham are the first team in the 20th century to become double champions of the league and the English FA Cup. They are one of three teams that can win two consecutive English FA Cups and the only team to achieve this twice. Achievement team.

Tottenham have won the English League One Championship (the top league at the time) 2 times, the FA Cup 8 times, and the League Cup 4 times - the most recent one was won in 08. Tottenham is also the current English League Cup champion. One of the teams with the most Cup titles, if they can win today's game, they will become the team with the most EFL Cup titles.

In addition, Tottenham also won the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1963. This was the first time an English team won the European Cup Winners' Cup.

The European Cup Winners' Cup was discontinued in 1999, but before 99, the influence of the European Cup Winners' Cup was the first among the three major European cups. The participating teams must be the top cup champions of UEFA member associations—— For example, England can only send the FA Cup champion team, not the slightly lower EFL Cup champion team. Tottenham won the FA Cup in 1962 after winning the FA Cup in 1963. When it comes to the European Cup Winners' Cup, this is Tottenham's most valuable championship trophy so far and can never be replicated.

In addition, Tottenham has also won 2 UEFA Cup championships and 1 European Super Cup championship.

The European Super Cup is currently the highest honor in European club competitions. It is produced by the duel between the Champions League champions and the Europa League champions of that year. It is equivalent to a new version of the European Cup Winners' Cup.

However, because the Super Cup only has one game, its influence is far less profound than that of the European Cup Winners' Cup, and its gold content is naturally a little lower than that of the European Cup Winners' Cup.

In addition, Tottenham has also won 7 Community Shield championships.

As for the other runner-up, third runner-up in the league, second and third runner-up in the League Cup, and second and third runner-up in the FA Cup, they are too many to count.

With so much glory, why can't Lily Baihe be called a wealthy family?

Very simple.

Tottenham don't have a Premier League title.

Tottenham's only two top-flight championships date back to 1950 and 1960.

In order to be called a wealthy family in Europe, one of the most basic bottom lines is that it must first dominate the country and form a dynasty.

Such as Manchester United, such as Arsenal, such as Liverpool, such as Chelsea, which is forming a dynasty after Abramovich took over.

How to dominate the country?

It’s not about the Europa League and Champions League trophies, it’s not about the Community Shield, FA Cup, and League Cup trophies, it’s about actually looking at the league championship.

Club fans certainly hope to win more trophies, and players naturally pay more attention to being able to play in European competitions for their worth and reputation, but for the club, the cornerstone is league results.

With league results, the club can continue to operate stably, and the club's culture and heritage will become more and more solid.

But without league results, or with frequent ups and downs, and long-term sluggishness, even if it wins the European Cup Winners' Cup, it cannot be considered a real giant, but can only be regarded as a strong Premier League team with a glorious history.

From a foundation point of view, Tottenham is always a bit inferior. If you have to forcefully promote it, Tottenham can only be regarded as a quasi-rich club, a second-tier giant.

Of course, the Tottenham team under Redknapp can basically be regarded as the strongest lineup in the history of the Tottenham club.

Although Tottenham had two pillars in Kane and Son Heung-min in the later period, the Tottenham Hotspur of Kane and Son Heung-min's era did not encounter the Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool of this era.

To be able to steal Arsenal's fourth place in the era when Manchester United and Chelsea were the strongest, there is no need to prove the strength of this Tottenham team. After a 40-minute adaptive warm-up, the players from both sides left the field and returned to their respective locker rooms for final mobilization.

Coach Adkins' eyes slowly passed over the faces of each main player, and finally took a deep breath: "...play well!"

Captain Davis cleared his throat and stood up, "Brothers! What the coach means is that we have come this far! We are already winners! We don't have to have any psychological burden, just do it! Win EFL Cup champions, we are the heroes of Southampton! The girls in Southampton will be crazy for us! All bars will be open to us for free, and we will be able to party without any scruples! For that moment! Follow us Tottenham fight!"

"Fight it! Fight it!"

The Southampton players were all as excited as if they had been shot.

Especially Chelsea player Mikel, who has just been loaned to Southampton.

Mikel is not here to pick up girls, but to be able to defeat his rival Tottenham in the Southampton team. As a Chelsea player with blue blood flowing in his body, Mikel can't wait to exert 200% of his energy!

After the players folded their hands and shouted, the Southampton team lined up in the tunnel in high spirits.

Gu Ran stood in the middle of the team, looking at the faces in Tottenham that were familiar from TV.

The old golden boy Van der Vaart, the Magic Flute Modric, the number one player in football who bites Defoe...

When Gu Ran was distracted, a hand patted Gu Ran's shoulder from behind.

Gu Ran originally thought it was Crouch who was eating ginger, but when he turned around, he saw it was the Great Saint Gareth Bale!

Gareth Bale gave Gu Ran a friendly smile, "Hey, Gu, I've been paying attention to Southampton. I've seen your game highlights a long time ago. You're really good, especially overtaking on the outside!"

Gu Ran said quickly: "Hello, Gareth Bale! It's an honor to compete with you."

Bell smiled and said: "We are all from Southampton, and we were also discovered by the old Les. It is not an exaggeration to say that we are from the same school. Let's not be so polite to each other! Let's all play well in this game. Play! After the game is over, how about we exchange jerseys?"

Gu Ran immediately said: "Okay! No problem!"

"Okay, then it's settled! Come on!"

"You too, Gareth!"

The two shook hands and bumped shoulders.

At this time, under the leadership of the referee, the players from both sides officially appeared on the stage and lined up for a handshake ceremony.

After the handshake ceremony, the captains of both teams came to the referee to guess the side of the coin.

Needless to say, the captain of Southampton is still the experienced and influential Davis, while the captain of Tottenham is their main center back, player No. 26, Ledley King-a A star that can make Henry shake his head and make Robbie sigh, hard and brittle.
