Chapter 90 is Tottenham today

Players from both sides have appeared on the pitch and are shaking hands with each other.

Kane was a little nervous, and it was about to be time for him and Li Qingshan to shake hands with each other.

What kind of attitude should you use to face your competitors?

Harry Kane thought to himself as he slowly walked towards the front of the team.

That's right, Kane thinks that Li Qingshan is his rival, even if the other party has just received the Golden Globe Award, but this does not affect what Kane thinks in his heart.

Of course, Harry Kane is certainly not competing with Li Qingshan for the Golden Ball - with Tottenham's strength, Harry Kane can't compete with Li Qingshan for collective glory anyway.

Kane is more concerned about the Premier League Golden Boot race.

Kane has been in great form so far this season, scoring 15 goals after 14 league games!

This data is placed in the previous Premier League, and the efficiency of more than one goal per game is already quite high. But even so, there is little talk in the media about the Premier League's Golden Boot race.

The main reason for this is, of course, Li Qingshan - so far Li Qingshan has scored 22 Premier League goals, seven more than the second-ranked Harry Kane!!

Although the league is still a long one, almost all the media believe that the discussion of the Golden Boot is pointless - no one can compete with Li Qingshan.

In fact, the English media also particularly hopes for the emergence of a goalscorer who can compete with Li Qingshan, just like the dispute between Messi and Ronaldo in La Liga - if such a player exists, how much material should the English media have to hype.

But the heavens are unsuccessful, how can a player of Li Qingshan's level appear when he appears?

Although the English media is known for making news and praising homegrown players. However, they also know that the gap between Kane and Li Qingshan is really ..... It's too big.

It's just that Kane doesn't think so.

That's just a seven-goal gap!

Kane watches the Premier League's top scorers charts on his phone every day.

Li Qingshan, 22 goals.

Harry Kane, 15 goals.

Is the gap big?

It's not big at all!!

Harry Kane thought.

When Kane walked to Li Qingshan's side, he didn't think of what attitude to use to face this "competitor" after all!

So Kane used the most cliché method, he held his head high and shook hands with Li Qingshan in a gesture of contempt.

Li Qingshan smiled, of course he wouldn't have thought of what the Englishman in front of him was thinking, competitors or something, in Li Qingshan's eyes, only Messi's level was his competitor.

The time for the two sides to shake hands was only an instant, Li Qingshan quickly let go of his hand, turned around and ran towards the middle circle, as the captain, he still had to carry out the edge picking ceremony.

And that's the end of it? Harry Kane froze for a moment, so that De Gea, who was about to shake his hand, was a little strange.

What is this Englishman doing?

Still shaking hands?

De Gea held out his hand and shook it in front of Harry Kane's eyes.

Harry Kane reacted at this time.....

Am I not being obvious enough?

Harry Kane shook hands with the rest of the United players as he thought...

Well..... Next time I should say something....

I'll beat you!!

No, no, no... It's corny.

You're great, and so am I......

Well.... It's too unimposing.

As the captains of both sides picked sides, Harry Kane fell into deep thought....

......

Li Qingshan's expression was very relaxed. In fact, the rest of United's players were also relaxed.

Home to Tottenham?

Although Tottenham's performance in recent seasons has been good, when facing Tottenham, although Tottenham is now at the top of the standings, higher than Liverpool's ranking, Tottenham's team brings a sense of threat to Manchester United players, but it is far less than Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and other teams.

The main reason for this, of course, is because.... Tottenham Hotspur is a well-known Manchester United point boy.

In training ahead of the game, Carrick told his players an interesting story about Tottenham during the Alex Ferguson era.

No matter which team he played, Ferguson was always very passionate when he mobilized before the game, trying to boost the morale of the team as much as possible.

But when it comes time to play against Tottenham, Ferguson always says: "Today is a tottenham"

And every time they hear that, the Manchester United players always smile. Because against Tottenham they always win.

Tottenham do have quite a bitter history against Manchester United.

In the 2001-2002 season, the eighth round of the English Premier League, Manchester United was away to Tottenham, in the first half the Red Devils had fallen behind 0-3, almost no one believed that Manchester United could turn the tables in the second half, but miracles often happen when you don't expect it, in the second half Manchester United first scored by Andy Cole, and then Blanco, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Veron, Beckham scored one after another, Manchester United scored five goals in a row to stunned Tottenham, Ferguson later recalled the reversal and said: " The course of this race was not very good for my blood pressure, but I will remember it for the rest of my life. ”

In the 2008-2009 season, in the 34th round of the English Premier League, Manchester United hosted Tottenham, and goals from Darren Bent and Luka Modric made the Red Devils two goals behind, but then Manchester United scored five goals in a row, C-Ronaldo and Rooney both scored twice, and Berbatov added the icing on the cake.

In addition to these reversals, Tottenham have always had the upper hand against Manchester United, with 179 meetings between the two sides in their history, with United holding the upper hand with 85 wins, 47 draws and 47 defeats, scoring 286 goals and conceding 226 goals. Among them, against Tottenham at home, Manchester United won 60 wins, 16 draws and 15 losses, scoring 176 goals and conceding 85 goals.

Therefore, although the north London side is also a strong side in the Premier League, Manchester United always have a very big psychological advantage every time they face Tottenham.

Carlo Ancelotti and Pochettino shake each other's hands.

Just twenty minutes ago, during the final pre-match mobilization, Carlo Ancelotti also co-oped Ferguson, mimicking Ferguson's tone and saying to his players: "Today is a tottenham. ”

The players quickly came to their senses and the atmosphere in the dressing room quickly came alive.

Of course, Ancelotti's reason for doing this is not that he is taking his opponents lightly, but in Ancelotti's view, it is just before the game starts, and he needs to let the players relax for a while.

Facts have also proved that Ferguson's tricks are still very useful. Now the confidence of Manchester United's players has been completely boosted by this statement.

Players from both sides took their positions on the pitch, with United given the right to pick the edge and Tottenham to kick off first.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.
