In 2015, Tottenham bought it from Bayer Leverkusen for £ 22 million and became the most expensive football player from Asia in history. Son is often referred to as David Beckham from Asia for his popularity and business potential that goes beyond football.

« Tottenham has heaven, Manchester United hell. Seventeen years of pain ended. The mockery is over. Tottenham finally won, he became the European League winner, » Harry Bamforth said from the Daily Mail.

Tottenham had previously won the trophy in 2008, it was the English League Cup. However, he waited for the European trophy up to 41 years.

Famous intervention of a hitchhiker

« This season was not good at all, but neither of us are interested in players now. We had an incredible ride in Europe. We had to get the first trophy, I’m very happy, » said a happy scorer of the only goal Brennan Johnson.

However, the heroes were mainly two defensive players.

Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and tracker Micky Van de Ven. « The ball went high and first I thought, ‘How do I do it?’

The Dutchman performed a sensational defensive procedure. When it seemed to equalize United, Van de Vena Acrobatically turned the ball from the goal line.

« In January, I decided to strive for this trophy. That was contrary to other people in the club, but I felt we could win it, » Ange Postcoglou said.

« It’s an incredible group of players who never hesitate to do what we did. »

It doesn’t have it in your hands

Coach Tottenahm had previously said that he would always win the trophy in the second season, for which he was ridiculed.

« People put it badly, it wasn’t my praise, I declared it and believed it, I had it in me, » explained the man who took over Tottenham in the summer of 2023.

However, his position in the London club is very questionable. « Whatever happens, happens. We are still building a team, is still very young and we need to add experience. I try to build a team that can be successful for a long time, but as a manager, I don’t have it in my hands, » Postcoglou explained.

Tottenham, under his leadership, survived a disastrous season in the Premier League, the seventeenth place is scary.

« I want to stay, I haven’t finished my job yet, but the moment I accepted this task, I had a single thing in my head, and it wins something, » added the Australian with Greek roots.

« I want to build on it. I think there is an opportunity to build on this feeling, those players will want it again. Until you win anything, you can’t describe it, » the winner coach added.

Painless and toothless

Manchester is humiliated. No Europe. No trophies. Sixteen place in the Premier League.

« Who thought they would ever fall so deep? I certainly not. I didn’t expect it in a million years, » Harry Bamforth said from the Daily Mail.

« This match just captured their season under the leadership of Ruben Amorim. Pouchless and toothless. They never seemed to come back. »

It is not just how bad the results were, but also the style of the game.

« This season is a shame. This is the worst team of United in the last 50 years, » Bamforth added. Why?

They have nothing, zero

One of the most famous clubs in football history lost up to twenty competition matches this year. Due to the club brand, this is a terrible number. It has been the most since the 1973/74 season, when they lost 22 times and dropped out of the highest competition.

« If you think it can’t be worse for United. It’s a story for the whole year, » former United Captain Roy Keane shook his head.

« The whole season was so easy to defeat. They were lucky several times in Europe. They did not show enough quality, » Keane continued.

« If you rely on Harry Maguire’s tracker, you have a problem, » Keane said.

Coach Ruben Amorim had previously said that even victory in the European League would not save the bad season, but would give them at least a little dignity.

« Well, they don’t have any trophy anymore. Nothing. Zero, » Bamforth said.

Manchester has big problems outside the pitch. The financial situation is terrible. The debt is more than a billion dollars.
