Chapter 240 The value of a veteran

Tottenham defeated Crystal Palace 7-1 away. As soon as this news came out, many British teams were frightened. You know, less than a month ago, Crystal Palace had a fight with Tottenham in the league and relied on a controversial penalty to take away a draw and a point from the White Hart Lane Stadium. After the game, it also caused a war of words between the two clubs about the integrity of players. Thinking of the scene at that time, it can be said that these teams are vivid in their minds.

However, what they did not expect was that Tottenham's revenge would come so quickly and leave no room for anything. In this game, although Crystal Palace once again relied on Andrew Johnson's wonderful performance, Tottenham had already used an extremely fierce offensive to dismantle the home team!

Seven to one! This is the most disparity in the score since the start of the British League this season! Tottenham Hotspur used a refreshing victory to wash away the shame of being tied by Crystal Palace at home!

It is precisely because we saw the strong revenge mentality of Tottenham after suffering losses that almost all British clubs listed Tottenham as the list of absolutely no offensives after the game between Tottenham and Crystal Palace! Because they all clearly realized that there is no problem if they beat Tottenham in a head-on confrontation, but if they dare to use tricks in the game, they must be mentally prepared to bear the anger from Tottenham!

The away victory against Crystal Palace did not stop the Tottenham players from chasing victory. In the fourth round of the FA Cup a week later, Tottenham, who was on the bench, challenged the league's deputy squad leader West Bromwich away. After a full ninety minutes of fierce battle, Tottenham defeated his opponent with a heavy gun from Edgar Davis, and advanced to the top 16 of the FA Cup without any danger!

Although when he chose to transfer to Tottenham, Davis planned to continue to serve as the center of the midfield in Bailu Lane and make a career here to counter Lippi and Moji's evaluation of his "Liang Po is old". If he could get the opportunity to directly fight with Juventus in the European arena and teach the old woman who has broken the bridge, it would be better.

However, after coming to Tottenham, Davis realized that his previous plan was really wrong. Because both Harvey Alonso and Bastulk showed strength and level that were no less than him, and their age advantage and stable state made them firmly control the position of the main midfield!

Although Davis has considered transferring to other clubs to seek a main position, as Tottenham's performance gets better and better, and they are moving forward in the league and the Champions League. The head coach did not ignore his feelings because of his preference for the pair of Alonso and Bastulk. His playing time is not much less than the two main players, which made the Dutch Wild Boars, who are about to turn 32, finally gave up this idea and became a member of the rotation lineup in Tottenham with peace of mind.

However, even so, it does not mean that Davis' ambitions have disappeared as he grows older. For example, this time, when the team was in a dilemma of being in a position of being in a position and not scoring, it was Davis who stepped forward and decisively used a long shot to help Tottenham solve West Bromvic, and used practical actions to explain what it means to be "an old horse in the stable, with ambitions of thousands of miles"!

In the 25th round of the British League three days later, in the away game against Bolton, it was Edgar Davis. The Dutch Wild Boars first made a straight pass with a ball to assist Klose in just one minute on the bench, and then sent a key interception in the 85th minute of the game, interrupting the counterattack between Okocha and Diouf, and not allowing the Senegalese who had already run out of the position to form a single shot, helping Tottenham defeat the "fast horse" (Bolton's nickname) with one goal at Reebok Stadium and continue to lead the standings with one point advantage!

As the saying goes, if you have an old family, you will be a treasure. In Tottenham Hotspur, which is mostly young players, Edgar Davis, as a veteran, uses his rich game experience and experience to lead Tottenham, who lacks experience in championship competition, to move forward tenaciously!

It can be said that if Davis had not been active during this period, then Tottenham would have been reversed by Chelsea, who had also won consecutive victories in the standings. How could he beat the Blues as much as he is now?

Three more days passed, that is, on February 5, the trip to the three consecutive guests ended, and Tottenham Hotspur, who returned to White Hart Lane Stadium, faced the challenge from Portsmouth!

Although Portsmouth unexpectedly won the 13th place in England as a newly promoted team last season, the power struggle between Redknapp, the team's head coach and club chairman Mandarich has become increasingly fierce, resulting in the incident where the former was directly fired by the latter at the end of last year. After squeezing Redknapp, Zayed, who took over, did not have the coaching skills and prestige of Redknapp, which also affected the performance of the Pompeii Army.

However, despite the many problems in the team, Portsmouth's performance in this game was quite good - facing Tottenham, who were unable to play due to injuries or accumulated yellow cards, they conceded a goal first and equalized the score by Yakub in the 34th minute and maintained the 1-to-1 score until the end of the game!

However, just when everyone thought Tottenham would be defeated in front of Portsmouth, another veteran in the team, Darren Anderton, who was from Tottenham's youth training, stood up. In the 88th minute of the game, Anderton kicked a fairy ball that seemed to be a pass and shot from 35 meters away from the goal, piercing through the goal guarded by Heathlop, helping Tottenham to defeat Portsmouth at the last moment!

Two-to-one! With Darren Anderton's worth of money, Tottenham finally defeated the visiting Portsmouth and scored all three points at home!

What made Tottenham most excited was that Chelsea, who also sits at home, capsized the gutter on Manchester City. Due to the suspension of yellow cards by Ibrahimovic, the Blues, who had to be the single arrow, were also in a dilemma of weak offense in this game, and finally shook hands with the Blue Moon after 90 minutes!

In this way, after the 26th round of the league, with the help of Chelsea's draw at home, Tottenham successfully expanded their lead in the standings to three-pointers!
