The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 492
Compared with Messi's opening goal and Gareth Bale's icing on the cake, Franck Ribery, who came off the bench, performed poorly, not at all the prestige of the scarred star before the injury.

In this game, Ye Qiu gave him 10 minutes to perform, but the Frenchman was still unable to find the feeling of the game on the court. He was obviously not ready for the ball a few times, either he didn't stop it well, or he just stopped the ball He didn't handle the ball well, which led to his poor performance, but everyone still passed him the ball very tolerantly.

For a player who has been out for more than four months due to injury, it is impossible to expect him to perform well in his first game back. Didn't see Manchester United's Cristiano? Ronaldo's performance this season is no better than last season, and many people also think that this has something to do with his injury before the season.

Although the performance was not good, both the players and the fans were very tolerant towards Ribery. After the game, the fans and the players welcomed the return of the French winger with applause. Many fans were shouting for Ribery, hoping The French should not be under pressure, try to adjust their state, and strive to return to the top.

Ribery, who returned to the game, although his starlight is bleak, can't conceal the excellence of another player, Messi.

The Argentine boy ushered in a complete explosion in the second half of this year. Many people think that this is because of Franck Ribery's injury. After all, although Tottenham Hotspur's trident was very disordered in the past, there are still priorities. At least after Ribery scored frequently, both Van Persie and Messi were pulling and playing for Ribery consciously or subconsciously.

It is precisely because of this that Van Persie and Messi have many assists but not many goals, but since Ribery was injured, Tottenham Hotspur's trident for the new season has been reorganized and added a straight forward Garay Si Bell, and the latter's forced breakthrough from the left has benefited Messi from the right.

So far, Tottenham Hotspur have played eleven rounds in the Premier League and three in the Champions League. In a total of [-] games, Messi alone has contributed [-] goals and [-] more. Assists, this data and report card are enough to shock the whole of Europe. Not only that, he is also the player who has been violated the most by opponents in the Premier League.

Many people think that the reason why Tottenham Hotspur's offensive has not diminished this season is that a very important factor is that after David Silva joined, Tottenham Hotspur's midfield became more creative , The operation is also smoother, and the ball is more variable, which makes the players in the frontcourt have more opportunities to get the pass after running out of position.

And Messi has taken on the offensive banner of the team after Ribery was injured. He is replacing Ribery and becoming the number one star in the Tottenham Hotspur team. This has become the consensus of everyone.

In fact, in the consensus reached by Peter Kenyon and the marketing department, Messi is the number one promotion target in the team, because his image is better, the image of the boy next door can be said to be suitable for all ages, and He has a rather well-behaved personality and no off-court lace news. He is a very pleasing player image, and the advertising effect is very amazing.

But what is even more commendable is that Messi has performed very well in this short period of six months, especially after the Olympics, when he returned to the Premier League, he hardly had any rest, and directly became the frontcourt of Tottenham Hotspur Offensive standard bearer.

He can not only score goals by himself, but also help his teammates score goals, just like in this game against Liverpool, the first goal is the embodiment of Messi's personal ability, and the second goal is also scored by him on the right. After the ball, he cut inside to get rid of the foul made by the defender, before Gareth Bale took a direct free kick.

It can be said that Messi's importance to Tottenham Hotspur's offense is now lost to that of Ribery last season.

Of course, it is still the same old saying that the relationship between players and the team is always complementary. Without the support of Tottenham Hotspur's entire offensive system and other teammates, Messi could not perform so well, and without Messi , Tottenham Hotspur's offense may not be so skillful and smooth.

But there is no doubt that after Ribery, Messi has become another Tottenham Hotspur player capable of hitting top superstars. At least he has been placed in the final stage of Tottenham Hotspur's star-making plan front row.

Star-making, this is Peter Kenyon's forte!

Tottenham Hotspur defeated Liverpool 2-0 at home and successfully reached the top of the Premier League!
This piece of news spread all over England and around the world in one night. This is the first time that Tottenham Hotspur has been the leader of the Premier League since Ye Qiu was in charge for more than two years. In this powerful dialogue.

Benitez accused the players of poor performance after the game, especially against several players in the defense, and this also caused Benitez to fall into more turmoil, because many players counterattacked, thinking that Benitez Nitus is shirking responsibility.

Fatty Spain's coaching at Liverpool is indeed in trouble. At least, when the management refuses to continue to give support, his current means of dealing with the crisis have also failed, which has also sparked conflicts between him and the players.

Regarding the team's final summit, Ye Qiu said in an interview after the game that once the team reached the summit, they did not plan to fall again.

"Our hunger for the Premier League title has almost driven us crazy, I can't imagine what it would be like if we fell from the top of the table now!"

As for his competitors, Ye Qiu also felt that whether it was Liverpool, Manchester United, or Chelsea, they were all Tottenham Hotspur's number one opponents, but many Gunners fans criticized his remarks because When he counted his opponents, he obviously forgot about this rival team in north London.

The Tottenham Hotspur fans counterattacked, "It's not that we have forgotten you, it's that you are too disappointing!"

Climbing to the top of the league is like a festive season for Tottenham fans, at least the pubs on Highg Rd are very good on those days, but Tottenham are not at all. He didn't slow down his pace because of this.

Three days later, the team ushered in Atletico Madrid in La Liga at home.

It is hard to believe that this time Tottenham Hotspur led Atletico Madrid 5-1 at home in just half an hour of the opening game. Messi made two passes and one shot, and Van Persie scored twice , Gareth Bale and Thiago Silva both scored.

Aguirre's team made the same mistake as Klinsmann again at White Hart Lane, that is, he hoped that his team could overwhelm Tottenham Hotspur at home with an offensive, but in the end they failed. Crushed by Tottenham Hotspur with an even more violent attack, Aguirre was criticized by fans and professionals after the game.

With a final score of 5:1, Tottenham Hotspur won four consecutive victories in Group D of the Champions League group stage, took the lead in the group to step out of the Champions League group stage, and advanced to the knockout round, which also made Tottenham Hotspur Together with Barcelona and Manchester United, they took the lead in qualifying early from the group stage.

The Champions League was played in the middle of the week and the rotation was carried out on the weekend, but Tottenham Hotspur still defeated Manchester City 3:1 at the City Stadium in Manchester, and once again defended their league leader's throne with a victory.

But in the middle of the week, Tottenham Hotspur ushered in the challenge of Liverpool again!

"Hello, please show your ticket!"

Sean Ingle walked towards the ticket gate, and the security guards at White Hart Lane stopped him immediately. They were polite and polite, but they couldn't refuse him, and Sean Ingle quickly got out of his He took out a ticket from his bag.

This ticket is obviously different from Tottenham Hotspur's past season tickets, league tickets, and UEFA Champions League tickets. Although it is also a computer-generated ticket, the ticket price is lower at only ten pounds. This should be regarded as the Premier League The lowest ticket price among all the teams, right?

Ten pounds, to watch a peak match between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool, which has undoubtedly become the hottest topic in the London area in the past few days, because Tottenham Hotspur have won all the League Cups and FA games this season. Cup, and even all warm-up matches, the ticket price is set at a low ten pounds, the purpose is to attract more fans to White Hart Lane.

Of course, a very important reason for the low ticket price is that neither side will be the main force in the cup.

Many people say that the League Cup and the FA Cup are already training grounds for young players for top teams. For teams like Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool, they are basically on the bench, even young players.

In Liverpool's roster going south, there are not even Gerrard, Harvey Alonso, Carragher, Torres and Reina and other main players, and in Tottenham's roster, they can also be seen Ramsey, Andy Carroll, Hazzard, Kyle Walker, Eriksson and other young players, the intention of both sides to train is very obvious.

Sean Ingle passed the security check and walked into the stadium. He thought he was already early, but the stands at White Hart Lane were already full. It is foreseeable that the game tonight will still be full , because every fan stand entrance on the scene is still continuously entering.

When Sean Ingle sat down, took out his camera, and planned to take a few pre-match photos, the players on the pitch had finished warming up and left the pitch, and the turf at White Hart Lane was immediately covered by work. A thick curtain was put over to protect the turf, and as all Tottenham fans knew, the pre-match show was about to begin.

Tottenham Hotspur's pre-match performances are mainly based on rock band performances that activate the atmosphere of the stadium. Coupled with the acoustics of the stadium, the atmosphere in the stadium is always very hot. Many fans who enjoy this atmosphere They will all enter the game early.

After attracting fans close to the home court, the next step is a series of stimulating consumption, such as delicious gourmet restaurants, drinks and snacks, iced drinks in summer and hot drinks in winter. The Deer Lane Stadium has been built into a football stadium and a consumption center for fans at the same time.

This can't help but make Sean Ingle think of the big bald head in his mind, the CEO of Tottenham Hotspur. He said in private communication before that currently Tottenham Hotspur The overall home marketing of Arsenal is not the best in the Premier League, because the strongest home marketing is Arsenal's Emirates Stadium.

To say that Arsenal's home court is only contracted out for catering supplies, the annual income has reached 500 million pounds, and in addition to the income from drinks and snacks, Arsenal's income from home sales every season That's a very large number.

Tottenham Hotspur's White Hart Lane Stadium has a natural disadvantage, that is, it lacks operating space. At least they do not have the ample space of the Emirates Stadium to contract to the outside world to run a high-end restaurant, and there are not so many shops for rent, so relatively In terms of income, the income of White Hart Lane Stadium in this respect is relatively poor.

And although it was the defending champion of the Champions League last season, Tottenham Hotspur are not very keen on raising prices. The Times has compared it before. Among several teams in London, the price of all fans per game For the three necessities that must be consumed, beer, pies and game guides, Tottenham Hotspur only cost 9 pounds.

For the same three matchday necessities, Arsenal sell for £10, Chelsea £5, Fulham the highest at £10, West Ham United £1, all quite high, However, the feedback from the fans shows very clearly that Tottenham Hotspur is the third most satisfied with the home atmosphere of all the teams, except for Liverpool, which has always been known for its fanaticism, and Newcastle, which is known for its loyalty. , Even surpassed Manchester United.

Not only that, even in terms of ticket prices, the Premier League has risen almost every year in the past three years, but Tottenham Hotspur's ticket prices have not changed much and basically remained stable, but at the same time, Tottenham However, Hotspur has given preferential policies to some young fans, student fans and female fans.

According to Peter Kenyon, everything the team is doing at present is preparing for entering the new stadium in the future.

"We, Tottenham Hotspur, have a business concept. Our purpose is not to do everything possible to get more money out of the fans' pockets, but to save the fans money, spend the least amount of money, but get The best arena to enjoy!"

Another very interesting thing is that Tottenham Hotspur has been the most popular team among female fans in Europe in the past year, and according to the information provided by Peter Kenyon, in the past year Over the period of time, the growth rate of new female fans who entered the White Hart Lane Stadium to watch football reached 65%, which greatly exceeded the growth rate of male fans.

According to Peter Kenyon, Tottenham Hotspur hopes to increase the proportion of female fans in Tottenham Hotspur to more than 30%, because as long as this is done, Tottenham Hotspur will be guaranteed Tottenham are full every game!

In order to achieve this, they proposed a series of policies, such as giving gifts to female fans during festivals or birthdays, and developing some interesting female accessories in the fan shop. A nursery was temporarily built in the Deer Lane Stadium to help fans look after their children.

For this reason, David Gill once joked that Tottenham Hotspur's move is too crazy, Peter Kenyon's series of strategies will turn Tottenham Hotspur into a sissy team, and In the past, many Tottenham Hotspur fans were indeed worried about the team's home atmosphere.

But Tottenham Hotspur's officially recognized female fan membership organization shouted a feminist slogan, "What men can do, we women can do too!"

When Sean Ingle saw those female fans screaming excitedly in the stands, he quickly filmed them, and he couldn't help but admire Peter Kenyon's ability to operate, at least Tottenham It is absolutely not surprising that Spurs can become the most popular Premier League team for England fans in the BBC's annual selection in 2008.

Another thing that attracts fans of Tottenham Hotspur is their team style, which is very advocating offensive football, not only the first team, but also the reserve team and youth team. Almost every echelon sticks to the first team The same offensive football style, and they all adopt the 433 tactical system derived from Ajax youth training.

It's like playing Liverpool in this game. Tottenham Hotspur started with a substitute and a young lineup at the same time. The goalkeeper is Joe Hart, and the defense is Marcelo, Ziglinski and Thiago Schiller. Watts and Kyle Walker, Ramsey, Lucas and Beckham in the midfield, Ashley Young, Carroll and Cavani in the frontcourt.

Although there are many substitutes and young players, Tottenham Hotspur still showed a strong desire to attack at their home court. From the beginning of the game, they kept attacking Liverpool. Benitez The team also played with a semi-substitute lineup, and fell into defense from the beginning.

The two sides fought back and forth for about half an hour, but soon, Tottenham Hotspur broke the deadlock.

Ashley Young made a cross, Carroll overwhelmed Hyypia with a header, and Cavani was unguarded and scored.

Soon, Ramsey made an oblique pass from midfield, Cavani plugged in from the right and then passed to the center. Carroll easily pushed and scored in front of the goal, 2:0!

And soon, it was Carroll who received a cross from Marcelo from the left in front of the goal, scored with a header and scored twice, 3:0!

Tottenham Hotspur's offensive continued into the second half. Although Liverpool quickly pulled back a goal after the second half, Cavani once again used Beckham's pass to score the first goal for Tottenham Hotspur. Four goals, 4:1!

After scoring consecutive goals, Ye Qiu also replaced Eden Hazard, Eriksson and other young players, replacing Cavani and Beckham respectively, and Liverpool also scored again in the No.703 minute , but eventually lost 2:4 at White Hart Lane.
