Chapter 174 The League Unveiled (Part 1)

Since it was too late and to avoid being waited by the reporters outside the manor, after the meeting, Abu, Ferguson and others decided to agree to George's invitation and stayed in Boyd Leiden Manor for a night, and then left quietly in batches tomorrow.

The next morning, Abu and others said goodbye after breakfast, while Ferguson first went to the stable with George to take a look at the Gibraltar Rock that belonged to him. After entrusting the horse to George to raise, he hurriedly left Boydleyton Manor and rushed to the Carrington Training Base in Manchester.

George was not surprised by Ferguson's hasty attitude. Because this weekend, the 2oo4-o5 season of the British League will officially kick off!

The most important thing is that Manchester United's opponent in the league round has risen strongly since last year and beat Manchester United to win the third place in the league last season. In order to defend Manchester United's honor as the British overlord, Ferguson must strive to win in this game!

Therefore, Ferguson's actions seemed so urgent, even his beloved horse just glanced at him and returned to Manchester without stopping - in the Lord's heart, Manchester United's weight was obviously much more important to the competition of the horse!

Compared to Manchester United, which is head-on with Chelsea in the opening game, George's Tottenham is also not much lucky. Because Tottenham's opponent in the league opening game was under the influence of the butterfly effect of George's, the Reds Liverpool team, who lost the qualification to participate in the Champions League this season!

In the league round, Manchester United and Chelsea were arranged, and Tottenham Hotspur's two strong dialogues against Liverpool were arranged. The British company's intention to stir up the atmosphere as soon as possible and attract neutral fans was simply clear.

Liverpool is full of expectations for this confrontation with Tottenham Hotspur, and they did not surrender in advance just because their opponent in the opening game was last season's league runner-up and double champion in the domestic Cup.

Liverpool fans are also full of confidence in the Reds' victory. In their opinion, Liverpool, who has made up for strong players such as Robbie Keane, Cice, and Luis Garcia in the summer, has obviously been much greater than Tottenham Hotspur, who has lost many players such as Heinze and Carrick!

Not to mention, in the eyes of many Liverpool fans, Tottenham has become a mortal enemy. Therefore, no matter what, they hope to see their players celebrating their victory at the end of the game!

The main reason for this situation is, on the one hand, because the strong Manchester United imprint on George Nelson has aroused strong hostility from Liverpool fans; on the other hand, because in the eyes of Liverpool fans, George and Tottenham Hotspur are the culprits of Liverpool miss the Champions League!

If George had not taken over Tottenham, then Tottenham would still be the mid-range team that was half dead and could not even touch the threshold of the European game. It would be impossible for the British runner-up to soar last season. In this way, Liverpool would not be squeezed out of the top four in the league and would have to face the embarrassing situation of being called a giant but still missing the Champions League.

Whether a club can win a Champions League place stably is an important criterion for measuring whether a club can be called a top giant. Therefore, for Liverpool club, as a member of the G14 league, the reality of not being able to win a Champions League place for two consecutive seasons has put a lot of pressure on the former overlord of England football.

Of course, this does not mean that clubs that cannot win the Champions League seat are definitely not giant clubs. For example, the Serie A League during the Little World Cup, and the British League during the British League during George's time travel. At that time, many teams in these two major leagues missed the Champions League. It was not because their strength was not good, but because the competition within the league was too fierce, which led to their failure to get the opportunity to show their style in the Champions League. At this time, some strong teams will also be regarded as giants. However, with the overall strength of the British League, it is obviously not enough to allow Liverpool to receive this level of special treatment.

It has to be said that most fans are extremely blind. They don’t think about it. With George’s assets and love for football, even if he does not acquire Tottenham Hotspur but chooses to become the owner of another British club, Liverpool will definitely be in the top four in the standings at the end of last season?

The desire for victory by Liverpool naturally did not escape George's eyes. Therefore, after the banquet and in the few days before the opening of the league, George not only made targeted arrangements for several Liverpool's core players, but also repeatedly emphasized to the players at the team meeting that no underestimation of the enemy must be produced!

You should know that in George's previous life, it was this Liverpool who led and staged the Istanbul miracle. Faced with the extreme unfavorable situation of falling behind three goals in the first half, the general team was probably defeated and collapsed long ago, but Liverpool did not give up. He scored three consecutive games in the second half and pulled the two teams back to the same starting line, and finally defeated AC Milan in a penalty shootout, which won the Big Ear Cup for the fifth time in the club's history!

Therefore, even if Liverpool in this life has no midfield brain Alonso, George dare not underestimate the Reds. In other words, as long as Gerald, a player who is like the soul of the Reds, is still at Anfield, then he can never relax his vigilance against Liverpool before the referee blew the final whistle. Because no one knows whether Liverpool, in adversity, will suddenly explode and then turn the tables successfully.

On August 14, the White Hart Lane stadium was crowded with people. More than 32,000 Tottenham fans and more than 3,000 Liverpool fans from afar sat in the stands, waiting for the focus of the British round to officially begin. The fans of both sides who failed to buy tickets were unwilling to surround the stadium outside, hoping to get lucky to buy someone else’s ticket!

"Steven (Gerard), whether this game can be won depends largely on your performance... I hope you don't disappoint me and the fans who support us." In the visiting team's locker room, Benitez, who had just finished the last tactical arrangement before the game, said to Gerald in a solemn tone. When the scheduled midfield commander Xavi Alonso was intercepted by Tottenham and Thiago Mota, the first alternative target, was kept by Barcelona, ​​he could only hope that Gerald could take on more responsibilities in the midfield.

Although the brilliant record of leading Valencia to win the double championship in La Liga and League Cup last season allowed Benitez to be among the top coaches in Europe and received a coaching invitation from Liverpool, the Spanish coach knew very well that his success in Valencia was just a stepping stone for him to enter the circle of top coaches and the vision of giants. If he could not achieve excellent results at Anfield, then the ending of Cooper and Hollier in Inter Milan and Liverpool is the lesson of Benitez!

Therefore, Benitez is bound to win this league match with Tottenham Hotspur!
