ps3: This is the update on Thursday, it's a bit late, I'm really sorry
Three games were played in six days, and they were all British League games. After seeing this schedule, George was completely desperate about the IQs of the FA officials and the gang of officials. How stupid are they to arrange such a schedule?!
Although only Chelsea's three opponents are considered a strong team, and Manchester City and Everton have a huge gap in both performance and strength, even so, it is not a reason to arrange the Tottenham's schedule so intensively. Since we had known this, why didn't the make-up match between Tottenham and Chelsea in advance to the relatively loose schedule of the Yi section, but to wait until April when the schedule begins to become dense?
If Tottenham's bench depth is not enough, and George Yi has been consciously adopting a rotation strategy, so that all players can maintain a very good competitive state, but instead of a team with a slightly lower depth of bench or a team that uses a lineup to conquer the world, then this team is likely to be miserable by this intensive schedule!
By the way, if we add the 34th round of the league with Bolton in two days, Tottenham's schedule during this period should be even more terrifying eight-day and four-game!
On average, they have to play high-intensity games every two days. If UEFA had not specified the interval between the team's two consecutive games, George even suspected that these brain-dead children in the FA would really learn from the nBa on the other side of the Atlantic and arranged a continuous back-to-back schedule for Tottenham!
However, although the eight-day and four-game schedule created by the FA made Tottenham feel extremely depressed, Tottenham is still quite lucky compared to Chelsea on the other side. Because as long as Tottenham can survive this period, the frequency of Tottenham's game will be the most normal weekly match until the end of the season. What about Chelsea? They have to play in the Champions League more than Tottenham. Therefore, the waiting for Chelsea is naturally a more terrifying schedule with six games within 16 days!
You should know that compared to Tottenham, which has reached the FA Cup final and currently only needs to concentrate on preparing for the league, Chelsea has to face Monaco's challenge in the Champions League field. At this time, no one dares to underestimate this team led by Deschamps, composed of abandoned players from various clubs. If someone really dares not take Monaco seriously, then the body of Real Madrid is their predecessor!
Therefore, facing such a schedule, even Chelsea, who is the best in the bench, can't help but feel very difficult. Because if you are not careful, the Blues are likely to fall into the abyss that will never be restored!
Ranieli was naturally extremely angry at the beginning. After all, if this schedule was hit, Chelsea would have to drag on the skin even if they didn't die. But soon, the tumbler had no choice but to appeal to the FA, demanding that the 30th round of the rematch with Tottenham continue to be postponed. Because at Kenyon's reminder, Ranieli realized that the reason why the FA arranged the game like this was actually targeting Chelsea, which has risen strongly this season!
Although under the media's exaggeration, the FA has always been famous for its conservative and brainlessness in European football, since they can sit in this position, it means that these FA officials are still a bit capable. It is impossible for them to inexplicably make a lot of things without any reason. Therefore, the FA arranged such a terrifying schedule for Chelsea at a critical moment in order to punish Chelsea's actions of poaching around last summer and disrupting the transfer market and the order of the English football world!
It can be said that the reason why Tottenham has ushered in such a sad yi schedule during this period is mainly because it was cheated by its ally Chelsea. If the FA is interesting to hit Tottenham, then it is impossible for Tottenham to have the only opponents in these games, Chelsea will be the only strong team like Chelsea.
George naturally knew this. However, although he knew in his heart that Tottenham had just become the gun used by the FA to attack Chelsea, this does not mean that George would acquiesce to the FA's behavior of using himself and Tottenham as guns to catch him. He is also the current Viscount Coschelt, the heir of Earl Essex. The FA used Tottenham to attack Chelsea without saying a word. I really think the Nelson family won't be popular?!
Therefore, in order to appease the dissatisfaction of the two families of Nelson and Hood, the FA had to send someone to apologize to George, and at the same time hinted that it would give Tottenham a preferential treatment when the schedule was scheduled next season, and would seriously deal with the phenomenon of home whistle and whistle blowing, so there would be no more serious consequences.
George is quite satisfied with the FA's statement. After all, Tottenham will also face the situation of fighting on the fourth line next season. With the FA's guarantee, Tottenham can be easier in domestic competitions and can focus more energy on European courts.
Although the FA is unreliable in many things, its integrity is still very guaranteed. The most important thing is that the FA should not dare to break his promise, and he will undoubtedly risk angering the two families of Nelson and Hood again. This is obviously something that the FA is unwilling to face.
In this way, three days passed quickly. On the evening of April 15, George led the entire Tottenham Hotspur team to welcome the Blues Chelsea who came to challenge at the White Hart Lane Stadium!
Since the two clubs have a deep history and the cooperative relationship between George and Abram, although this game can be called a strong dialogue, the gunpowder smell of the game is not very strong. After all, when Arsenal has basically secured the league championship and Liverpool, fifth-placed, finds it difficult to catch up with the Yi Group, which is in the top four in the standings, Chelsea and Tottenham can basically be said to be in the British arena at this time. In this way, the atmosphere of this game is naturally even more tense.
In fact, if it were not for the sake of taking care of the emotions of fans and sponsors, as well as the so-called face-saving issues of the giant clubs, although Chelsea is not a giant club, Ranieli even gave up several league battles, including this game, and focused on preparing for the semi-finals of the Champions League with Monaco next week. If the league championship is hopeless, Ranieli will only have the hope of keeping his coaching position if the team leads the team to win the Champions League championship this season. Otherwise, by the end of this season, the pot maker will definitely have to roll the bed and leave.
Ranieri's thoughts are naturally well reflected in his arrangement of troops in this game. Many main players, including Crespo, Terry, and Marklele, were not included in the list. The yi action of the pot maker is enough to reflect his attitude towards this game!
Goalkeeper Ambrosio, right-back Glen Johnson, center back are French veteran Deselli and German young player Robert Hutt, left-back Bridge, midfielder is Gremy, Lampard and Scott Parker, and offensive trident is a combination of Hasselbaink, Mutu and Glencier. This is the lineup of Chelsea in this game!
From the arrangement of the lineup, we can see that Ranieri had no intention of fighting with Tottenham at all. Otherwise, the tumbler would not have put all of them on the bench without any illness and disaster. Even the goalkeeper was replaced by Ambrosio, who had not played several times. After all, due to the minor rounds of the game, Chelsea, who had not won for two consecutive rounds in the league, had already fallen behind Manchester United and fell to third place in the standings. Therefore, if Ranieri really wanted to keep the second place in the standings, it would be impossible to send such a lineup.
Let's take a look at Tottenham. Since there is still a league game with Bolton in two days, and the players have become very tired due to their previous continuous battles, in order to ensure the health of their players and avoid injury problems due to excessive fatigue, George continued to rotate the roster on a large scale in this game.
"It seems that this summer not only needs to consider deepening the team's bench depth, but also further strengthening the health care of players." Sitting in the coach's seat on the sidelines, George secretly thought in his heart about what other aspects Tottenham need to be strengthened. Among them, establishing a complete physiotherapy system is an aspect that he attaches great importance to. After witnessing Redknapp Jr. spend half of his season in the hospital bed, and the remaining half of his time is spent on his recovery, George has put this matter on the agenda and will wait for the end of the season before starting to implement it.
Tottenham's ten players in this game are: goalkeeper Casey Keller, four defenders are Stephen Carl, Ledelikin, Michael Dawson and Heinzer, Kompany and Speed form double midfielders, Bastulk takes the center to command, David Villa and Ronaldo are separated from left and right wings, and Drogba serves as center!
To be honest, George took a considerable risk to send such a lineup. Because George was betting that Ranieri would not consume too much in this strong dialogue for the sake of so-called face and league rankings. Therefore, if the yi Dan Turbomaker did not turn around and sent out the main lineup in this game, then Tottenham is likely to lose this strong dialogue and lose the best chance to improve the league ranking!
The final result proved that George's gambling was successful. Under the pressure of results and coaching positions, Ranieri chose to strategically give up the league and concentrate his troops on the Champions League field!
Ranieri also paid the corresponding price for his choice. After all, although Chelsea's bench depth is also strong, Tottenham sent a lineup of mixed players and substitutes in this game, completely crushing Chelsea, where only two main players appeared in terms of strength!
Chapter completed!
