The sports game ends in 2-3 hours, but preparation takes as little as 1 week and as long as 2-3 weeks. It’s time to analyze your opponents, make customized strategies, and raise your player’s condition to the best match for the game. So, there is nothing more embarrassing than the sudden change of the game schedule. In this case, in fact, you have no choice but to go to the stadium without proper preparation.
English Premier League (EPL) Tottenham are experiencing this situation several times due to Corona 19 in the 2020-2021 season. On September 24th, the match between Leighton Orient and the Carabao Cup 32nd round was postponed due to infection with the opposing team’s squad just before the match, which was eventually canceled. At the time, director Jose Mourinho Tottenham did not hide his uncomfortable appearance, saying, “Our weekly schedule has been disrupted.”
But in less than two weeks, the same thing happened again. The match between Aston Villa and EPL Round 18, scheduled for the 14th, has been postponed. As for Aston Villa last week, 14 people tested positive for Corona 19, and the training ground was closed, and the possibility of delaying the game was raised earlier. Director Morinyu strongly resisted this, saying that it was “impossible,” but it was useless.
The good news is that the Fulham match, which was postponed on the 31st of last month, was replaced by Aston Villa. Of course, the tactics against the Aston Villa were useless. However, it is a much better situation than driving the two games that were postponed in the second half of the season, when the competition for Europe was overlapped amid fierce ranking competition.
In addition, Fulham is a weaker player who is in 18th place in the relegation zone this season and is much less burdensome than Aston Villa in 8th place. Following this game, Tottenham will face Sheffield United, the lowest ranked player, who has not been able to win a single win this season with 2 draws and 15 losses. If you win two consecutive wins in these matches and get 6 points, you will have room to try again even in the winning race that fell behind.
The key resources, Son Heung-min (29) and Harry Kane (28), also did not participate in the Football Association (FA) Cup against Marine AFC on the 11th, and are resting. Another delay in the game is embarrassing, but this time it could be a phone call to Tottenham.
