In a match in the fifth round of the FA Cup, Spurs lost 0-1 to Middlesbrough, who ranked 8th in the Championship, and the 19-year-old Youngster Coburn scored the winning goal to continue Tottenham's embarrassing record of 14 seasons without a title. Tottenham Hotspur don't have a championship dna, and even if the world's famous managers and champions Mourinho and Conte come, they have nothing but to let themselves struggle to discredit their resumes.
Over the years, Tottenham's influence in football has increased year by year, the new White Hart Lane stadium is a standard five-star building, the investment in the transfer market is not small, Sanchez, Ndombele, Lo circellso, Romero are all stars who played in the previous clubs, plus the team's world-class stars Kane and Son Heung-min, Spurs seem to have stepped into the quasi-giant sequence. The staffing is good, but the results are showing a downward trend, the former Champions League runner-up, the league runner-up has not entered the top four of the league in the past two seasons, and the cup results at home and abroad are also quite crotch-pulling.
The reason why Tottenham hottest teams, coaches, players, and fans are very confused, do not know where the road ahead is going, in fact, the biggest sticking point is that they have not found a good positioning of themselves, they have lost their eyes in the past moments of glory, and they all want to live in fairy tales and do not want to wake up. Tottenham Hotspur have reached the Champions League final, won the Premier League runner-up, these achievements are not enough to make Spurs in the Premier League giants, Leicester City in the previous years also won the Premier League title, can you say Leicester City has become a giant?
But Tottenham boss Levy does not think so, he has built Spurs according to the standards of the giants, want to continue to maintain the popularity of the Champions League runners-up, but only to build a skin bag, invited Mourinho, who has 25 champions, recorded the Amazon documentary "Desperate Throw", and earned a wave of traffic. Now he has hired the champion coach Conte to continue to build the Tottenham brand and keep the team's top card Kane.
The good-looking skin bag is there, but the flesh and blood are a blur. The players introduced by Tottenham Hotspur in recent seasons are difficult to say, spending money on it seems to be buckled, Ndombele has skills but lack of physical fitness, poor confrontation ability, two seasons are still not suitable for the Premier League, the annual salary is also a time bomb in the dressing room, and finally returned to Ligue 1; Lo Celso is too fragile and spends most of his time in a hospital bed; Sanchez played well in Ajax and came to the Premier League to become a super colander. Tottenham's senior management only considers young, has room for development, and those who are older and have championship experience do not enter their eyes. Tottenham's recent results have been a mess, losing five of their last eight games, beating Manchester City twice, losing to relegation side Burnley and lower division Mi fort, and being extremely unstable.
The reason why Spurs were able to get the league runner-up was due to the "dividend" of the team's personnel and environment at that time, when Guardiola had just entered Manchester City, the "gua-style" Manchester City had not yet taken shape; Manchester United was still in the reconstruction period of the post-Ferguson era, and the results were up and down; Liverpool did not have a strong dominance, rock coach Klopp was still looking for powerful players; Arsenal could only fight desperately for four. Only Chelsea have always been at their peak, when Hazard was invincible in the Premier League.
At that time, Tottenham's personnel structure was also in the "golden period", and excellent players emerged in various positions, with Kane and Son Heung-min in the front, Eriksen, Ndombele and Wanyama in midfield, and Belgian second old, Kelwalker and Trippier in the back, these players under the leadership of Pochettino are known as the "Youth Self-Defense Army", through continuous crazy running and high pressure, playing a piece of the sky, and being able to enter the Champions League final is the best embodiment of these people's strength. With the passage of time, this group of "golden players" fell apart, Kyle Walker, Trippier and Dembele left Tottenham, Wanyama continued to be injured, Belgium's second older grew older, and Eriksen, who could hold the ball in the midfield, also left the Apennines, leaving Son Heung-min, Kane, and a group of young players such as Alli and Winks.
The subsequent "standard king" Ndombele, Locelso, Doherty, Belwyn and other players are useless, Hoybel, although better, is only an sapper midfielder, Spurs have lost their metronome, there is no player who can comb the midfield to organize the attack. During Mourinho's coaching period, kane's role was played to the extreme, allowing kane to deeply withdraw to organize the attack with the ball, and attracting 1 or 2 defenders to leave the box, providing a large area of attack for Son Heung-min, Kane completed the single-season league golden boot and assist king's results, and "Sun Kai's connection" became a good story for a while.
However, the problem of Tottenham's single attack is gradually exposed, it is difficult for the team to find a stable third point of attack, and Lucas Jr. has lost the domineering spirit of reversing Ajax. Bale was not bad last season, but the defence was too poor; this season it is not clear who can take on this responsibility, perhaps not at all, compared to Liverpool, the top 3 Premier League goals this season are All Liverpool players, which is a multi-point blossom. Spurs rely too much on Son Heung-min and Kane to walk on two legs, and once anyone is injured, Spurs are like disabled people, losing their offensive firepower and only passively being beaten.
Spurs clubs and fans have overestimated the strength of the team, among the players, Son Heung-min and Kane belong to the world-class, and other players such as Hoibel, Sessenion, Reguilon, Sanchez, Ben Davis and other players are even the main force of the mid-range team, and teams such as Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool simply cannot get the opportunity to play. Therefore, Spurs fans do not have to be arrogant, calm their minds, can happily embrace victory, but also calmly accept defeat, which is the attitude that a real fan should have.
After losing the FA Cup, Tottenham have gone 14 consecutive years without a title, and Kane has nothing in his trophy showcase, which is unfair to a world-class striker who is almost 30 years old. When Conte arrived, he could see that Kane had changed his slump at the beginning of the season and began to concentrate on the game. But with the ups and downs of the achievements, Conte's "chicken blood therapy" does not know how long it will last, and now he is also very struggling, the summer window is a breakthrough, if Levy can not meet Conte's requirements, he will point the finger at the club as he did at Inter, and then leave. And Kane is not far from the days of walking away from White Hart Lane, just like Barty left his beloved Fiorentina in pursuit of the championship, the fans only have blessings!
