Mauricio Pochettino is silent. He could not say anything anymore. What reasons are you expecting when Tottenham Hotspur was beaten 2-7 by Bayern Munchen on Matchday 2 Group B Champions League 2019-2020?
Entertaining Bayern Munchen was victorious at the Tottenham Hotspur Arena on Wednesday (10/2/2019) early morning. Hotspurs ahead quickly through a South Korean player, Son Heung-Min in the 12th minute. Only lasted three minutes, long-distance kick Joshua Kimmich was unable to catch goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. The score is 1-1. After that, Hotspurs wasted two opportunities from Tanguy Ndombelele and Harry Kane.
Bayern Munich won 2-1 right before the break of the first half through Robert Lewandowski. Serge Gnabry, who scored a quad trick in the match, started it in the 53rd minute. 3-1 to Bayern Munich. Gnabry’s second goal came a minute later. 4-1 Munich superior. In the 59th minute, Harry Kane became a penalty executioner. 2-4 Hotspur reduces lag. The 24-year-old scored his third goal in the 83rd minute. 5-2 for Munich.
Munchen added advantage in the 87th minute, through Robert Lewandowski who scored his second goal. 6-2. Gnabry completes Hotspur’s nightmare, scoring his fourth goal in the 88th minute. Munchen thus topped Group B. What did Pochettino want to say? After drawing with Olympiakos in the inaugural match (2-2), Pochettino said it was a better result in the early Champions League.
Reflecting on the last nine games played in all competitions, Harry Kane et al only recorded three wins. And the most painful, Tottenham Hotspur was even defeated by the 10th position of the 4th division team, Colchester United in the Carabao Cup with 3-4 penalties. Thus, Tottenham Hotspur was immediately eliminated at the event. Whatever Pochettino says about his downturn, Pochettino says his players must stay strong and forget about defeat and prepare for the next fight.
Serge Gnabry
Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are based in the North London area. Serge Gnabry’s four goalscorer is no stranger to the region, because for five years he was in Arsenal uniform. When Gnabry was bailed out of Stuttgart with 100,000 pounds, the German was then a junior.
However, then the Gunners underestimated Gnabry’s potential, he was rarely played. Gnabry was then loaned out to West Bromwich Albion. After completing his loan spell, Gnabry didn’t want to go back to Arsenal. He left in 2016.
Before becoming a player at Bayern Munich, after leaving from Arsenal he joined Wender Bremen. Bayern Munich then bought Gnabry for 8 million euros. Early in Munich did not believe in the ability of Gnabry, Gnabry was loaned to Hoffenheim a season.
When Munchen was coached by Niko Kovac in the 2018-2019 season, slowly Gnabry began playing as the main squad. Seeing the performance of Gnabry in Munich he was selected to play in the national team of his country, Germany. Gnabry offered his special quad trick for the Gunners supporters. Although the Gunners had underestimated, but somehow he had the uniform of the North London club.
The two North London teams, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are eternal enemies who always pout. The bad results achieved by Tottenham also gave rise to cynicism to Harry Kane to withdraw from the team if Tottenham Hotspur wanted to win.
