[인터풋볼] Reporter Shin Dong-hoon = Director Jose Mourinho said he didn’t care about Liverpool and Everton helping Marines.
Tottenham will compete against Marine FC at Marine Travel Arena in Crosby, Merseyside, England at 2 am on the 11th (Korean time) in the 2020-21 season England FA Cup Round of 64 (3rd round). Marine is a team located in the 8th Division of England.
Because Tottenham is relatively completely ahead in power, a significant rotation has been predicted. From the beginning of the season, Tottenham had a murderous schedule with the English Premier League (EPL) and the European Football Federation (UEFA) Europa League (UEL). The schedule was even tighter as it reached the final of the English Football League (EFL) Cup.
Therefore, it seems that the main players will be given a break. This would include Son Heung-min, Harry Kane, and Pierre Emile Hoivier. Instead, players returning from injuries, players who have not been given a chance so far, and youth players are expected to participate.
The match is a face-to-face match between teams with the largest league gap in the history of the FA Cup. Marines are currently unable to use the stadium and training grounds due to the UK government’s blockade of amateur soccer teams. Accordingly, Liverpool and Everton, who are related to Merseyside, provided training grounds and helped by providing Tottenham and related game analysis videos.
Director Mourinho said, “Of course we can help. Because they are neighbors, they think there will be an emotional bond. It doesn’t matter if we hand over an analysis video about us. The important thing is the condition of the stadium. For the safety of Tottenham and Marine players, it is our greatest concern that the stadium is in good condition.”
“The way to respect marines is to do our best to win the game. This is the spirit of the cup competition. As usual, we are preparing tactics, training, and preparing. Also, Marine will dream of confronting the players he longed for while watching TV. It is our mission to bring their dreams back to reality. The goal is to bring such a game to the marines.”
