MSpurs Turn a Corner 热刺扭转前程
Tottenham Hotspur have often featured in our Off the Pitch columns 栏
目 this year, but mostly for the wrong reasons.
For much of the season they have languished 失去活力 in bottom place of
the Premier League table, failing to win a single game in their first eight
matches.
Many blamed their manager Juande Ramos, a Spaniard with a limited command
of English
水平有限, who also sold their star striker Dimitar
Berbatov.
As the bad results piled up 堆积, so did the pressure on Ramos, until he
was finally sacked two weeks ago.
Since his departure, Spurs have undergone a remarkable reversal of fortune
乾坤大扭转 under new manager Harry Redknapp, winning twice and drawing
once.
On Saturday they reached a new high 又攀新高, beating league leaders
Liverpool 2-1 and finally moving off bottom place in the league.
So, what has changed?
According to Spurs striker Darren Bent, Redknapp has lifted morale 志
气大涨 by giving his players a new sense of self-belief 自信.
"He has made us believe that we're good players and that we shouldn't be
where we are, whereas with Juande and the Spanish, it was a bit hard."
By this, Bent means that Ramos's lack of English was a big factor in
Tottenham's problems before.
Bent added that this rise in morale has given players a "new lease of life".
To say someone has a new lease of life is to say that they have a new energy
and new desire to do things.
New manager Redknapp was pleased with the result, but he admitted luck
is still an important factor in football.
He said that his team "rode their luck" against Liverpool, meaning that
they relied on luck to avoid failure. Indeed, it took an own goal from
Liverpool’s Jamie Carragher and a late winner from Roman Pavlyuchenko
to hand victory to Spurs 把胜利拱手相送给热刺.
Redknapp will now be hoping to build on his good start at Spurs and move
up the table.
For Liverpool, this was their first defeat of the season and they are now
second in the table behind Chelsea, who thrashed 重创 Sunderland 5-0.
Manchester United moved into third, after overcoming a spirited 精神饱
满的 Hull side 4-3.
