ps2: When will this breaking cold be cured? It will affect your condition too much

On February 28, Tottenham Hotspur, who returned to home, welcomed the 19th round of the match with Charlton England at White Hart Lane Stadium. Since this is not only the last game in the first half of the UK, but also the last game of Tottenham in the 2OO3 year, and it is the Christmas holiday at this time, this is the White Hart Lane Stadium, which can be said to be overcrowded tonight!

After all, for those Tottenham fans who choose to spend Christmas at home, taking advantage of the holiday to watch the game of the team they support on site is simply a supreme enjoyment. Not to mention, Tottenham's very impressive results this season have also promoted Tottenham fans to watch the game on site from other aspects.

Only when the team's performance is getting better and better will more fans be willing to become supporters of Tottenham Hotspur and watch Tottenham's game on site. If Tottenham still has a lot of stars like before this season, playing gorgeous football, but cannot achieve satisfactory results, and is repeatedly suppressed by his arch rival Arsenal, the White Hart Lane Stadium will not be able to have an average attendance rate of up to 9o now!

Since he had just fought with Portsmouth for a full ninety minutes two days ago, George made a major adjustment to the roster in this game: In addition to Cech and Vidic, nine other players who played in the last round of the league either sat on the bench to watch the game or were thrown into the stands by George tonight!

Cech, Stephen Carl, Vermalen, Vidic, Heinzer, Darren Anderton, Speed, Bastulk, Ribery, Villa and Lucatoni, these are the ten people in Tottenham's game!

After all, just two days is not enough to restore their physical strength and adjust their own condition. Therefore, it is natural that George adopts rotation tactics in this game. However, George's rotation range this time scared everyone. They did not expect that even Tottenham captain Ledelikin was within George's rotation range!

From George's perspective, it is understandable that he does this. After all, although Ledley King is the only central defender in Tottenham who is capable of making timely replacements for his teammates, his physical fitness and defensive skills are the best among England defenders of the same age, the impression that Ledley King left on George in his previous life was too profound.

Therefore, while Ridley King has not become the Glassman who cannot participate in the team's daily training in his previous life and can only play in the official game and cannot guarantee attendance, George feels it is necessary to control the team captain's playing time and game frequency from now on, and at the same time arrange special masseurs and physiotherapists for Ridley King to reduce the probability of the opponent being injured and becoming a Glassman!

Charlton's situation is not good either. After all, similar to Tottenham's situation, Charlton's players also only get two days off, while the depth of the bench is much worse than that of Tottenham, making it difficult for them to adopt large-scale rotations like Tottenham to deal with intensive schedules. In addition, Charlton played against Chelsea, currently ranked third in the UK, and fought with the Blues for a full ninety minutes before the winner was decided. Therefore, when the players of both sides walked out of the player's passage and stepped on the lawn of the White Hart Lane Stadium, George immediately found that the mental state of the opponent's players was obviously not as good as his!

After realizing that the team had a huge advantage in physical fitness, George immediately gathered the players and held an extremely short meeting, asking them to strengthen their running during the game, and at the same time increase the number and frequency of transfers of balls on a large scale, forcing the opponent to speed up physical energy consumption, so that Tottenham has a greater advantage!

Under the guidance of George's strategy, after the game began, the Tottenham players who played at home quickly took the initiative on the field, suppressing Charlton, who was away, within the half-court range, and could not make any threatening attacks!

It's no wonder. After all, the match against Chelsea in the first three-to-two two days ago consumed too much physical fitness and energy from Charlton players, so it is very normal for Charlton players to be unable to get excited and perform poorly today.

On Tottenham, since George arranged Luca Toni, the standard powerful center and Villa, the extremely comprehensive shooter, this game, Tottenham returned to the traditional British team's offensive mode of flying in the wings and grabbing points in the middle. However, even so, Ribery and Darren Anderton kept transporting shells from the wings, and Tony was responsible for grabbing and supporting points in the penalty area. In addition, Villa's comprehensive and Bastulk's shots were inserted into the back. Tottenham's offensive can be said to be continuous, and almost every time it can pose a serious threat to Charlton's goal, making the opponent tired of dealing with it!

In this way, with the magical performance of Villa and Luca Toni, Tottenham, who adopted the rotation strategy, finally wiped out his opponent with a score of 6-0 in this match with Charlton, won two consecutive league wins, and ended their full 2O3 games with a refreshing victory!

After the game, George gave the players a three-day holiday on the spot. After all, the physical and psychological burden that the schedule of the yi weekly double matches during Christmas is too great. Especially when players who play in other leagues are reunited with their girlfriends or families, and they are still playing games everywhere, the players' mental state can naturally be imagined.

It is precisely because of this that George ignored the FA Cup game to play on the third day after the New Year, and also gave the players three days off to use this time to adjust their condition. Otherwise, even the Iron Man would not be able to stand it if he was in such a high-pressure environment.

Since there are only six days left before Tottenham's FA Cup match with Crystal Palace, this means that after George gave the players three days off, Tottenham has only three days to prepare for the fourth round of the FA Cup. However, in George's view, it is obvious that the FA Cup game is not important to reduce the pressure on his players!

In George's plan, Tottenham's main battlefield this season is in the league, and it is best to be ranked in the top four in the standings at the end of the season. Otherwise, many subsequent actions in George's plan will be greatly affected and even have to modify the already formulated plans. Therefore, for the FA Cup and the League Cup, George's attitude is mainly about training. The team can go as far as possible, and does not force the so-called results at all.

After all, the top four leagues can qualify for the European Champions League next season, and even if Tottenham wins the trophy in the FA Cup and the League Cup, they will not be able to get the chance to participate in the Champions League. In contrast, it is natural to be clear to George's choice of which side to attack.

George also took advantage of the opportunity of the team's vacation. On the last day before the arrival of 2004, he visited Stanley Hood who came to London and asked his future father-in-law to marry Elizabeth, hoping to get the other party's consent and blessings!

Fortunately for George, although Old Stanley stared at George fiercely during this visit with a look of killing throughout the whole trip, until George left at the end, his future father-in-law did not really pick up the guy to chase him.

Obviously, this father with daughter control attributes also knew the truth that a girl would not be able to stay. Elizabeth then made the phone call to prove this point. After careful consideration, Stanley, the old man finally agreed to George's proposal, and the marriage between him and Elizabeth!

After all, Old Stanley could be said to be very clear about his daughter's character. He knew that although Elizabeth usually looks gentle and lovely, once she decides something, she will basically stick to it to the end and will not easily change her mind because of other people's relationships!

Regarding this point, it can be seen from the fact that Elizabeth and George have not met for more than four years, but when the two met again, Elizabeth's affection for George remained undiminished.

Old Stanley's nodded and agreed that George could keep in a good mood and spend the last night of 23 years. But I regretted that Elizabeth herself could not spend the New Year with George. Or, even if she wanted to do this, Old Stanley would definitely not agree.

George naturally felt deeply regretful about this, but he couldn't say anything. After all, he and Elizabeth are still just boyfriend and girlfriend, and have just entered the stage of talking about marriage. If the two accidentally got angry before getting married, it would be hard to say whether Old Stanley would be so angry that he ran to London to chase George.

Although three days of training time were missing and George kept his promise and sent a lineup of substitutes and bench players in this game, the players who had sufficient rest and relaxed still showed excellent competitive state in the fourth round of the FA Cup with Crystal Palace, defeating the visiting teams that were all the main players played in the White Hart Lane Stadium!

Three to zero, the home team is in front and the away team is in back. This is the score displayed on the big screen of the stadium when the referee blew the final whistle. Relying on the goals of Villa, Ribery and Vermullen, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Crystal Palace in this game, and used a free opening to give the new year a good start, and advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup!
