Chapter 222 Poaching and being poached (2)

On the third day after being eliminated from the League Cup by Liverpool, on December 5, Tottenham, who played all the main players, played Blackburn in a slump in Ewood Park Stadium and won the 16th round of the British game with a score of 3-0!

Drogba and Klose, who came on as a substitute, scored one goal in the first and second half respectively. Both of them have been in good shape recently, which is an important guarantee for Tottenham to advance together in the UK and the Champions League. Vidic took a header from Alonso in the 82nd minute of the game and added icing on the cake, scoring a goal that locked the victory for Tottenham!

The victory over Blackburn was a three-goal away game. The victory allowed Tottenham to continue to lead the standings with a three-point advantage, and also made Chelsea, who once again won a four-to-zero victory in the league, was depressed.

Scoring forty-one points in the first 16 rounds, such a result would be enough to keep Chelsea in the standings in any previous season. However, in this season, the Blues encountered a Tottenham Hotspur, which performed even more in the standings, and could only be ranked second in the standings. It has to be said that this is indeed a rather tragic thing.

However, although he continued to be overwhelmed by Tottenham in the standings, Mourinho did not feel impatient because he knew clearly that maintaining a normal mind at this time is the most important thing. If this is not done, then a team with an unbalanced mentality is likely to lose many points unnecessary and be left further and further in the standings by Tottenham!

In order to make the players pay full attention to the game and not be distracted by public opinion or other things, the madman has been silently carrying all the pressure on his shoulders during this period. At the same time, he constantly put public opinion pressure on Tottenham through the media, trying to influence the mentality of Tottenham players and increase the chance of Chelsea's reversal.

Mourinho's move was not hidden from George's eyes. In fact, when he saw this senior brother fighting a psychological war with him, George did not take this seriously at all. You should know that during his study at Manchester United, Ferguson taught him a lot about this, and the all-round battle with Wenger benefited George a lot. Under the influence of his eyes, George naturally understood how to deal with Mourinho's psychological offensive.

On the one hand, George chose the same approach as Mourinho, blocking most of the public opinion pressure from the media; on the other hand, George specially arranged for Tottenham Laboratory to strengthen psychological counseling for the players during this period, so that the players can let go of their nervousness and welcome the next game!

After four days of rest, Tottenham players returning to London ushered in the final battle of Group C at the White Hart Lane Stadium. Their opponent is Juventus led by gold medal coach Fabio Capello!

There is nothing to say about this game itself. Because Tottenham had already locked in the first place in the group one round ahead of schedule, and Juventus, who is ranked third in the group, has as many as five points, has no chance of qualifying, so no matter the outcome of this game, no matter the outcome of this game, it will have no impact on the two teams.

Since the two teams are in a state of no desire for this game, the confrontation between the players on the court is not fierce, and can even be described as a kind of scheming. Even if there are occasional foul actions, the foul party will immediately apologize to the opponent's players, rather than being stubborn or deliberately provoking, expanding the scale of the conflict or provoking both sides.

In this way, with Ibrahimovic's direct free kick in the 31st minute of the game, Juventus, who played away, finally defeated Tottenham 1-0 at the White Hart Lane Stadium, which was considered avenge for the previous home defeat!

"Manager Moji, what kind of wind is this time that actually blows you from Turin to here?"

As the two sides have had many transactions and cooperation in the past six months, George and Moji naturally became familiar. Therefore, when Moji told George that he had arrived in London and was watching the Juventus and Tottenham game on site, George, who had just finished the post-match press conference, immediately took a car back to Tottenham headquarters and met the old fox in the conference room.

"If I said, this time I was just going to London to watch the game between Juventus and Tottenham, would you believe what I said, Mr. Viscount?" As always, Moji did not bring the conversation to the point as soon as he came up, but instead joked with George.

"Don't talk nonsense to me, you and I know in our hearts that this is not your style at all." Hearing the old fox Mo's words, George pulled the corner of his mouth, saying that he would not believe the other party's excuse that was not at all unrestrained. "Just your temperament of being profitable and not being able to get up early, will you let go of Juventus' big business and go to London to watch an irrelevant game?"

Although due to the telephone gate incident, people praised him for belittling Mo's voice in his previous life, it has to be said that Moji is indeed the most capable person among all Serie A clubs general managers and is also the one who knows the best of using power. Even Galliani, who is also good at dancing and Blanca, who is known for his precise vision, is far inferior to Mo's ability in this regard.

Therefore, before Moji failed due to the telephone gate incident, George needed to maintain a good relationship with the Juventus and the Agnelli family behind him, so that his career in Italy's satellite club has a good development space and growth environment.

Although George can defeat ten times with one force and crush the Agnelli family that declined after Jani and Umberto's death with absolute strength, so as to get what he wants, since he can penetrate into Italian football with relatively peaceful means, why should he use this method that easily arouses the other party's disgust and confrontation?

As the uncrowned king in Italy, the Agnelli family is not short of enemies and opponents, but when facing George, an extremely powerful outsider, the Italians as local snakes will also choose to join forces to resist the invasion of George, the strong dragon!

"Since that's the case, I'll tell the truth." Looking at George's expression, "If you dare to continue to talk nonsense to me, I will dare to leave directly." Moji, who dared not show off in front of the other side, could only choose to honestly explain, "This time I came to London for your French left winger, Frank Ribery!"

"What, do you Juventus want to acquire Frank (Ribery)?" Hearing Moji's words, George was stunned. He didn't expect that when he was thinking about digging for Liverpool, other teams were planning to dig for him!
