Chapter 217
It is said that December is a devilish schedule, but this is not the case for Tottenham.
Since the victory over Leeds United in mid-November, Tottenham has achieved a good record of three wins, one draw and four unbeaten rounds in the league!
The draw was a draw with Liverpool at home in the last round of the league!
After the game, captain Kane said in an interview with the media that the counterattack will start from now on, and Tottenham's goal is to be in the top four!
In the pre-match press conference between Tottenham and Manchester City, Conte also expressed this meaning.
In response to questions from the media, Kong Erlangzi said: "I hope the team can continue to work hard, we will unite as one, and I hope we can maintain the state we had against Liverpool (in this game) against Manchester City!"
"In the past few years, I have played against Josep, and he gave me a very unique feeling. I can experience a lot of different things every time."
"Yes, although this is at our home court, in fact, we must be prepared for the challenge away from home!"
"I know we lost to Manchester City in the first round of the league (Spurs coach was Nuno at the time), and it was a very bad journey. I believe it won't happen now. We will beat Manchester City at home! Step by step to the final!"
"However, after the high-spirited encouragement, we still need to remain humble. Manchester City is a very strong team, and the players and I still have a lot of work to do!"
This is Conte's heartfelt thoughts.
In 2016, Kong Erlangzi led Chelsea to Manchester City, with both losses and wins.
But now?
He really didn't dare to conclude that he could beat Guardiola's Manchester City with Chen Chen and De Bruyne!
Guardiola came right after Conte attended the press conference.
Guardiola brought Chen Chen with him.
Actually, there is nothing much to say, they are all the same old questions.
Before the end of the press conference, Guardiola gave everyone a big surprise!
That is, in the game between Tottenham and Manchester City, Chen Chen will be the first captain of the team!
The short message immediately exploded on major social platforms!
18-year-old Manchester City captain!
Fans and passers-by were surprised!
However, considering that Chen Chen had served as the temporary fourth captain during De Bruyne's recovery, it is understandable that he was directly promoted to the first captain this time.
And it should be noted that at the press conference, Guardiola also emphasized that this was just an adjustment in the League Cup and "would not involve the league."
The media must know that "it will not involve the league". After all, the first captain originally confirmed was Fernandinho, the second was Gundogan, the third was Ruben Dias and the fourth was De Bruyne.
Considering that De Bruyne has recently returned to the field, maybe Gundogan's ranking should be moved back a little, because De Bruyne was the second captain of Manchester City last season.
Regarding this game, Guardiola also revealed that Ruben Dias will follow the starting lineup.
In this case, skipping Ruben and directly giving the captain's armband to the temporary fourth captain Chen Chen means that Manchester City is intending to improve Chen Chen's prestige in the Blue Moon team and in the hearts of fans!
Of course, this is normal, after all, the team will be built with Chen Chen as the core in the future.
After Guardiola announced the appointment, former Manchester City midfielder, Manchester City legend, and current Real Madrid midfielder David Silva immediately posted a post on the social platform and tagged Chen Chen and Manchester City Football Club:
"This is simply great! I believe that 'Captain Chen Chen' can lead Manchester City to win one game after another and win one championship after another!"
Not long after, this post became a hot post on the platform, and many Manchester City fans responded to the comments below.
Later, after the press conference, Chen Chen also liked D席's post.
Chen Chen replied,
"Captain! Thank you for everything you have done for Manchester City! I will work hard! (Showing muscle emoji × 3)"
Not long after Chen Chen replied, David Silva immediately occupied the sofa below,
"Come on! Brother!"
Many Manchester City fans who saw the comments and messages burst into tears on the spot!
This is exactly the end of my youth!
David went to Real Sociedad for free in August 2020, while Chen Chen came this summer. The two had no intersection.
But even if there was no intersection, their identities as city residents brought them together!
Chen Chen was quite emotional when he saw David's comments. From 2010 to 2020, David Silva stayed here for ten years!
After ten years of youth, the 24-year-old boy has become a 34-year-old old man. This magician from Gran Canaria has one of the most successful and fulfilling careers in football history!
Time flies.Fast, the day of the game came in the blink of an eye.
On the way from the hotel to White Hart Lane, Fernandinho specially sat with Chen Chen.
The Brazilian midfielder came to talk to Chen Chen.
After all, the captain's responsibility is still very big. Many people's skills are deformed and their mentality is unbalanced because of this pressure.
In the Rio Olympics that year, Neymar, the captain of the Brazilian Olympic team, made many mistakes that should not have happened in the final because of the heavy responsibility.
After scoring the key penalty in the penalty shootout, Maer knelt down and cried bitterly! The pressure he was carrying was finally released!
Kimmich also carried a lot of pressure, and Brother Ji was mentally exhausted for three years.
Later, Brother Ji came out and took over the important task of the German captain!
So, although Chen Chen has always been a player with a big heart, many things need to be prepared for a rainy day and need to be considered thoroughly.
Chen Chen and Fernandinho had a very happy chat.
Many people may be surprised to hear this, but in fact, Chen Chen does not have that sense of urgency and mission.
He is full of the idea of being impatient to run hard and then score goals and assists!
Pressure? It doesn't exist!
The captain of Tottenham is Kane, the big brother of the England national team. In the first round of the league, Manchester City vs. Tottenham, Kane was caught in a transfer storm and did not play. Chen Chen beat Tottenham but did not beat Kane.
This time, Manchester City captain Chen Chen can't wait to play against the captain of Tottenham!
7:30 pm, December 22, 2021, White Hart Lane Stadium.
Before the game started, Chen Chen forwarded a post about Manchester City's roster against Tottenham sent by Manchester City's official social account, and wrote,
"Different identities, common goals!"
Captains Fernandinho and De Bruyne forwarded it one after another.
It can be seen that everyone still values and supports Chen Chen.
In the player channel, Chen Chen is chatting with Kane.
Kane is the captain of Tottenham, Chen Chen is the captain of Manchester City, and the two are the leaders.
"Chen! The recent schedule is really dense, are you tired?"
"It's okay, my body is very excited! I don't feel tired."
Chen Chen shook his legs.
Kane shook his head and sighed,
"Okay! What an energetic monster."
After a pause, Kane covered his mouth and asked him,
"What are your plans for Christmas? Come to London, Kate and I will hold a party."
Kate is Kane's wife, and the two are childhood sweethearts.
Chen Chen scratched his head, he thought about it carefully, it seems that there are no business activities scheduled in the next two days, so he can go and have fun.
So Chen Chen nodded and agreed to Kane's invitation.
In fact, Kane wanted to invite Chen Chen to join the party a long time ago, but one is in Manchester and the other is in London, and the game cycle is so frequent, how can they get together?
That is, they can have a good rest and keep in touch around Christmas.
