Don’t worry about offense, and learn to defend again! Manchester United can’t stop them. Is Tottenham really going to win the championship?

"I didn't expect to score so early, and I was a little disappointed to concede the goal at the last moment." In the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals, Tottenham Hotspur beat Bord 3-1 at home, and Brennan Johnson's speech in an interview after the game was unsatisfactory.

Offense is not a problem, defense is the highlight

After 34 rounds of the Premier League, Tottenham only ranked 16th in the standings. Their firepower is very strong (62 goals), and the main factors affecting the team's record are poor defense (56 goals) and annoying injuries. When the UEFA Cup entered the final stage of the final battle, Tottenham's wounded players had basically returned, and Postkoglu also emphasized defense more and more in the game, and the team's temperament is undergoing a gratifying change. In this game, Tottenham Hotspur's possession rate was only 42%. After leading the score, he gave up the ball for a long time, but he could still limit the opponent's shots to a pitiful 3 times. It is certainly regrettable to concede the goal in the last moment, but Tottenham's progress on the defensive end is obvious to all. Considering that when they played against Frankfurt in the last round, Tottenham also defended the victory with excellent defense, Postkoglu had made changes, and a Tottenham who would let go appeared in the UEFA Cup.

The main players in the backcourt have all returned, and there are two doubts in the frontcourt

Romero, Vanderfen, Udoki, Vicario, Bentancur, Bisuma... When these players can play together, Tottenham's lower limit is still very guaranteed. The defense is intact, Tottenham's main hidden danger is in the frontcourt, Son Heung-min is still racing against time, and Madison's injury is unknown.

According to Son Heung-min's current recovery progress, he is likely to miss the second leg of the semi-finals, but he can catch up with the final. However, considering the result of Kane's forced comeback to participate in the Champions League final that year, Postkoglu must learn from it and persuade the Tottenham captain to sacrifice for the collective.

"Time" has arrived, is the champion here?

The last time Tottenham completed a 1-minute blitz in the European game was in the distant 1971/72 season. They scored a quick attack against Bucharest and eventually won the first League Cup championship. After 54 years, Brennan Johnson copied this masterpiece, and Tottenham also saw hope of winning the European trophy again.

When time comes May, northern Norway, near the Arctic Circle, is no longer so cold, and Bode's biggest advantage (artificial turf combined with extreme cold weather) has severely shrunk. Considering the strength gap between the two sides and the injury situation of the Norwegian team, the "Arctic Circle Battle" in the next round is actually not very suspense. In this season's Premier League and British League Cup, Tottenham completed a three-kill against Manchester United. The tactical and psychological advantages in the showdown were obvious, and the opportunity to break the championship drought was close to us.
