after that Champions League final.
Spurs will play PSG in the UEFA Super Cup, in August, after the French side booked their place in the final by stuffing Inter Milan in a near perfect display of dominance and a record breaking score deficit.
Oh it looks like a joyous occasion at the Stadio Friuli in Udine, Italy on August 13th. The Champions of Europe versus the Champions of Europa. Especially if the Ego Clown is still in charge of Spurs, and Levy’s done a Levy during the transfer window.
What we’ll have is Spurs, who won the Europa League final by sitting back and hoping Man U were as shit as they have been for some time now, especially in games against Spurs – one of a couple of PL teams Ange has managed not to lose to during his time in a real league.
Against that a team, Paris Saint-Germain – the goddamn Germans got nothin’ to do with it – who obliterated a team that invented the word for it. The goddamn Germans got nothing to do with it. Catenaccio. It had predecessors but Italy is the spiritual home of this type of game. And Inter, well, they were known for it back in the 60s.
And that’s the way this Inter played to get to the final. In the league phase they won six of the eight games, conceding one goal. Conceded another over two legs in the first knockout phase, one in the first leg of the quarter, two in the second. Then it went a bit haywire. Letting in three in each of the legs of the semi. But that was against Barca. A team that scored 174 goals in the 60 games they played this season.
But they know how to defend, it’s bred into them, they conceded on average about one a game all season. But while PSG only won half of their league games and finished well down the table. They ripped Inter apart in the final.
And you can see them doing that to Ange’s Spurs. I mean imagine it… imagine… Dembele, Doue etc. sprinting into the Spurs box, when Vicario has just squared the goal-kick to either of his centre-backs. Hell, there’s panic in the Spurs box under no pressure. But when two players are on the edge of the box in sprinting stances. It could be utter carnage.
Spurs could defend against a team who can’t score, PSG have 152 in their 58 games this season. It ain’t Man U lads…
