Football King Bale

On the afternoon of February 28, tens of thousands of Tottenham fans rushed to Wembley in West London from all directions. At three o'clock this afternoon, Tottenham will compete with Aston Villa at the new Wembley Stadium for this year's League Cup championship trophy.

Tottenham fans are very happy because the team they support is not only likely to win a League Cup trophy today, but the team is also likely to win the Premier League championship this season.

You know, since the establishment of the Premier League, Tottenham have never won the championship. Even the last time they won the English top league championship can be traced back to the distant 1960-1961 season. It has been 49 years ago!

They have not won the top domestic league championship for nearly half a century, which makes Tottenham fans, who pride themselves on being a powerful player in the Premier League, a little embarrassed.

However, this year, they really feel that the league championship is so close to them!

Just yesterday afternoon, Chelsea faced Manchester City at home. In the battle between the old and new generations of Premier League tycoons, the older generation was completely defeated by the new tycoons 2:4.

Of course, the focus of Tottenham fans is not who is better between the old and new generations of tycoons. What they care about is that Chelsea lost!

After losing this game, Tottenham once again extended their lead in the standings to three points. After 28 rounds of Premier League games, Tottenham's points reached 64 points, while Chelsea only had 61 points.

The match between Manchester United and the Hammers has just begun, and it is not yet known who will win. It would be best if the Hammers could help their brothers from the same city and stop Manchester United. Even if the Hammers are weak and can't stop Manchester United, it doesn't matter. Because even if Manchester United wins, they will only have 60 points, and Tottenham still has a 4-point lead.

As for the North London rival Gunners Arsenal, after winning against Stoke City yesterday, they only had 58 points.

Many Tottenham fans can't help but secretly think in their hearts: If the team can defeat Villa to win the championship today, and then maintain the lead in the league and win the league championship, then this season will be really perfect!

………………

When Tottenham fans are feeling happy, the team they support is already familiar with the venue in the stadium.

Although this is the third consecutive year that Tottenham have reached the League Cup final, Bell is still a newcomer to the final of this event, because in the previous two years, he failed to get a chance to play in the final.

Therefore, facing the first more important championship trophy in his career, Bell couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Defoe was also in an uneasy mood, because two years ago, he had a chance to win the trophy in this event. Unfortunately, one month before the final, that is, during the winter window transfer, He responded to the call of his boss and transferred to Portsmouth, which ultimately led to his failure to win the League Cup trophy and the championship medal.

Two years later, he returned to the team again and had the opportunity to make up for his regrets. Defoe was also very excited.

Of course, the rest of the players are equally excited. For an ordinary Premier League power like Tottenham, even if it is a League Cup championship that is regarded as useless by a giant like Manchester United, even if it is the League Cup that the team only won two years ago, Champions are also extremely precious.

Compared to the championship team two years ago, the team's lineup has undergone too many changes.

………………

It's almost three o'clock in the afternoon,

Players from both sides began to play to the applause and cheers of nearly 90,000 spectators.

Speaking of which, this can be regarded as a final with quite a pedigree in the League Cup. Because in the past, the two teams have won the League Cup almost ten times in total.

Among them, Villa has won this event five times, ranking second only to Liverpool, who has won seven times. Tottenham are not bad either. They have won this tournament four times and are tied for third with Chelsea and Nottingham Forest.

Although the numbers of these championships are not large, compared to the history of this event, they are not small.

Because the League Cup is not a long-standing event, it was held for the first time in the 1960-1961 season. This year is the 49th.

The first League Cup champion was Tottenham's opponent Aston Villa. They defeated Rotherham 3:2 in two rounds to win the championship.

Both sides attach great importance to this championship and really put their best effort into it.

For Tottenham, Lao Lei arranged his favorite 442 formation. The four defenders from left to right are Asu Ector, Basson, Dawson and Joel Luca. In the four midfielders, Bell and Lieutenant are still included. Nong is separated on the wings, Palacios and Modric are in the middle, and the four stand in a diamond shape. The double forward is a high-speed combination of Crouch and Defoe.

Villa also uses a 4-4-2 formation. Like most traditional English coaches, Huo Taigong also loves this formation. The goalkeeper is the veteran American goalkeeper Friedel, the four defenders are Cuellar, Dunn, Collins and Warnock, the four generals in the center are Downing, Petrov, Milner and Ashley Young, and the two forwards The same configuration as Tottenham, it is a high-speed combination of Heskey and Agbonlahor.

………………

Although after defeating Everton, Bell got another experience card of Ronaldo and Evra, which gave Bell two more experience cards of Ronaldo. But in this game, Bell still used the three-star Gerrard experience card that he had redeemed before.

Perhaps Gerrard is not as strong as Ronaldo, and his position is not as suitable for Bell as Ronaldo, but what Bell values ​​is the twenty-minute possession time of the three-star experience card.

The double matches in a row made Bell's physical condition not very good. In this game, both sides must be fighting hard for the final championship. In the later stages of the game, a physical crisis is inevitable.

Under such circumstances, an extra ten minutes of possession time is crucial.

According to Bell's plan, he would play normally in the first seventy minutes, and then use the possession time after seventy minutes, which would definitely play a very crucial role.

What's more, as a talented person who can be selected into the English Football Hall of Fame and the Premier League's best team of the past 20 years, Gerrard's strength is beyond doubt. In the football saint system, his overall strength is the same as Lampard's, reaching the level of 92. Moreover, Gerrard is very strong in all aspects and has no obvious shortcomings.

………………

After the game started, Villa took the lead in launching an offensive frenzy. They have no games in midweek and have more rest and preparation time than Tottenham.

Moreover, Villa's first attack created a threat. Facing Heskey's ball on the left, Joel Luca had to foul and gave Villa a well-positioned free kick.

Fortunately, there are no particularly good free-kick masters in the Villa team. Instead of Bell, this free kick could be shot directly, or even scored. Villa just asked Ashley Young to pass the free kick. As a result, the ball was pushed towards the midfield by Bell in the wall, posing no threat.

Villa continued to control the ball in the midfield and launched a fierce attack towards the Tottenham goal.

Under Villa's powerful offensive, Tottenham also had to take gestures during this period.

But Tottenham failed to hold on in the end, and in the 5th minute of the game, Villa scored.

Agbonlahor made a breakthrough on the right. Dawson was in a hurry and directly pulled Agbonlahor down. Referee Dodd did not hesitate to impose the penalty. Milner took the lead with a penalty kick into the lower right corner.

This penalty penalty interrupted Villa's offensive rhythm, or maybe they changed their tactics after taking the lead. Anyway, after the restart, Tottenham took over the ball.

As the current top team in the Premier League, Tottenham poses a great threat when they attack. Villa will definitely have to pay a price if they want to defend Tottenham's attack.

In the 10th minute of the game, Villa paid the price of a yellow card for their center back Collins in order to prevent Tottenham's fast break.

At that time, Tottenham intercepted Villa's pass in the midfield, Modric passed the ball behind Villa's defense, and Defoe made a quick start. Seeing that Defoe was about to go to the meeting alone, Collins had to pull Defoe down. While giving Tottenham a well-positioned free kick, he also received the first yellow card of the game.

Bell was Tottenham's first choice to take free kicks, but this time Bell's free kick did not pose much of a threat. It failed to cross Villa's wall and was directly blocked.

However, Tottenham quickly equalized the score in the next attack.

Just in the second minute after Bell took the free kick, Tottenham formed a steal in the frontcourt. Modric did not hesitate to hit the back of Villa's defense. Defoe broke into the Villa penalty area from the right after receiving the ball.

Defoe's pass was a little too big, but Dunn was chasing after it and barely broke it off. However, just when Collins was about to clear the ball out of the penalty area, Bell, who came in from behind, appeared in front of the ball first and pushed the ball into the lower left corner from 16 yards away from the goal.

Bell's goal helped the team equalize the score, and the 50,000 Tottenham fans at the scene gave loud cheers at that moment.

The team's early loss of the ball undoubtedly put Tottenham in an extremely disadvantageous situation, because they can use defensive counterattack tactics to save energy.

But Bell was able to quickly help the team equalize the score within a few minutes, which undoubtedly brought the two sides back to the same starting line. This was a major blow to Villa's tactics.

Tottenham fans looked at the players celebrating wildly on the court, especially Bell, who was surrounded by everyone. While cheering, they also had mixed emotions.

Although the winter transfer window has been closed for a month, the rumors about Bell's transfer have not stopped, and the major media have become more and more popular. The teams involved are no longer just the original Manchester City duo. Teams such as Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal are also involved, and even Real Madrid of La Liga is also involved.
