Chapter 261 Good News

"gooooooooal! Robben! Beautiful curved ball shot!" Seeing Michel's signing the goal was effective, Andy Gray, who had been depressed for the whole game, finally found the outlet to vent and released all the passion that had been suppressed for a long time in his heart. "The score on the court is now zero-to-one! Tottenham Hotspur, who played away, temporarily led Eindhoven with one goal and grabbed the lead in this Champions League quarter-finals!"

"Andy (Grey), I don't know if you have noticed that compared to last year's European Cup, Robben seemed to have made considerable progress after transferring to Tottenham Hotspur." While Andy Grey sang a praise for Robben's wonderful performance, Martin Taylor began to analyze the changes that have taken place in Robben himself. "In the European Cup in Portugal, Robben had a very eye-catching performance, but his playing style at that time gave me a more like another Ovemas-like traditional winger. Most of the time, he mainly broke through the wing, and the frequency of inward shooting and offensive transfers is not high. Now, he has improved significantly in both events. Especially the inward shooting after switching to the right, it gives people a feeling of unsolvable."

"It's not surprising. Martin, don't forget that Robben is one of the most talented players in the Dutch new generation. So it's not surprising that he has made such progress." Andy Gray didn't care much about Martin Taylor's opinion. In his opinion, if a young player like Robben is in the rising career and has excellent talent, if he has not made progress in the past six months, it would be a real problem.

If Robben is on the spot for most of the season after joining Tottenham, then it can only explain two problems. First, Tottenham does not pay attention to the training of Robben, but only uses him as a powerful wing assaulter; second, Robben was proud after becoming famous and relaxed his requirements, which led to his progress not being obvious enough during this period.

"Now, the situation in Eindhoven has become very dangerous." Looking at the Eindhoven player who was frowning on the court, and Hiddink who was leaning against Koku's ear and not knowing what he was saying, Martin Taylor made such a conclusion, "Robben's goal is really critical. If Eindhoven does not want to be too passive in the second round, then they must attack Tottenham's goal with all their strength in the remaining less than ten minutes. In this way, their defense will inevitably expose a lot of space, and Tottenham's quick counterattack that has been carefully sealed by Hiddink will have its place to use."

It has to be said that Martin Taylor's judgment is very accurate. Robben's goal at the last moment not only completely disrupted Hiddink's pre-match deployment, but also put Eindhoven in an embarrassing situation of being in a dilemma. You should know that Hiddink's plan before the game was to win at home, and Tottenham must not allow Tottenham to score a key away goal in this game. Now, after Robben's goal, Hiddink's plan has been completely lost. We can only hope that the team can equalize the score before the end of the game and minimize their disadvantages.

However, although the Eindhoven player was unwilling to lose and launched a fierce counterattack after the game restarted, Tottenham, which focused on fighting a defensive counterattack, had never been able to break through the goal guarded by Cech!

In this way, when the whole game was announced to the end with the referee Michel's two short and one long whistle, Tottenham Hotspur, who was away from Philips Stadium, relied on Robben's goal to defeat Eindhoven 1-0 away and won an extremely valuable victory!

Although fans were extremely satisfied with the team's initiative to defeat Eindhoven and get the initiative to advance to the Champions League semi-finals, George was clearly aware that after a high-intensity confrontation with Eindhoven, these players who have played will definitely experience a decline in their state or are unsustainable in the next league. Therefore, in order to ensure that the team's combat effectiveness does not fluctuate too much, he must make significant adjustments to the starting lineup of the next game!

It wouldn't be impossible if George was cruel to let these players play continuously, but in this way, Tottenham would likely pay an extremely painful price in the second round of the game with Eindhoven - the lessons of AC Milan and Real Madrid, which reminded the head coaches who like to ruthlessly make a team of players, which made them somewhat worried before doing so.

Therefore, in the 32nd round of the Premier League match four days later, facing the challenge of Newcastle United, George, who had decided to focus on the Champions League, decisively rotated the starting lineup on a large scale. Even Cech was placed on the bench by him, and American veteran Casey Keller was instead placed in front of the goal.

Although George sent a large number of substitutes in this game, the Magpie, whose performance has not improved after the change of coach, did not seize this opportunity to avenge the revenge of being eliminated by Tottenham in the FA Cup. Not only was the center trio of Dawson, Vermullen and Kompany stared at it without any temper on the offensive end, but his own defense line was also turned upside down by Villa, Ribery and others!

"From the third place in the Premier League in 2002-03 season to the point where he can't even get the qualification for the European Cup... I wonder if Shepard's old bastard regrets the act of destroying the bridge and inciting the players to launch a mutiny to drive away the old man." Looking at the Newcastle player's listless performance and the anxious jumping on the sidelines, George thought with relief, "However, there is no regret medicine in this world. Unless he has the ability to fool a top coach into jumping into this fire pit, don't be ashamed of the coach's prestige than himself, otherwise no one can save Newcastle."

Although George is not sure whether Newcastle will be demoted in this life under Shepard's mischief like he did in his previous life, he is very convinced that if Shepard does not change his behavior pattern and suspicious personality, then Shepard's desire to reproduce Newcastle's brilliant statement in the mid-1990s was completely just talking nonsense!

What made Tottenham players even more excited was that when Ribery received Villa's cross and scored and scored for Tottenham to score a goal to secure the victory, news from another venue came from the big screen at White Hart Lane Stadium - after a tough game between the Champions League quarter-finals and Juventus in the mid-week Champions League quarter-finals, Chelsea, who also adopted the rotation tactics in this round of the league, capsized the gutter in the game ended earlier and was unexpectedly tied by Birmingham led by Steve Bruce!

Steve Bruce and Birmingham players will definitely have the capital to play for a whole year, including Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, two teams in the top two in the standings in the league!

In the end, when the ninety minutes of the game passed, Tottenham defeated Newcastle 2-0 at White Hart Lane Stadium, successfully expanding its lead to four points again!
