Young Boys 3-2 Lucky Boys Young Boys 3-2 Lucky Boys

The beautiful and tranquil setting of Bern, an Wilmer Flores Jersey artificial pitch allowing for the consistently even and speedy role of a football in perfect tune with that oh so quick pace that besets the English Premier League. Even an opposition with a name so droll it left you wondering if you once pitted your wits against them as an 11 year old on a Saturday morning. In short, the perfect way for any team to begin life in Champions League football. That is of course unle s you like to where all white on a European night, hail from the north of Englands capital city and have strived beyond incomparable recognition in hope of this moment for the last 48 years.Surely not even the most ardent Spurs fan ever believed Tuesday nights encounter would be a bli sful and unproblematic evening against Young Boys in the centre of Switzerland. Furnishing their supporters with the credence that they could build on last seasons fourth place finish with an energetic and proficient performance against the Richie Rich of English football on Saturday, Spurs rapidly withdrew their credentials in 30 horrifying minutes in the Stade de Sui se. Indeed the weekends hard fought 0-0 against Manchester City quickly bore into insignificance for every animated Spurs fan as the threat of destroying last seasons labours became a startling reality. A full 38 games undone in half an hour remarkable Tug McGraw Jersey , even by Spurs standards. It should be said however that Harry Redknapps men are made of a slightly stronger substance then that so regularly showcased over the past 20 years. They wouldnt have earned the right to be a Champions League qualifier if not, and they were capable in this match of finding some resolution through goals from Sebastian Ba song and Roman Pavlyuchenko.Young Boys celebrate their first half lead against Tottenham HotspurTottenham had gone behind after just five minutes when Bosnian Senad Lulic pounced on a fortuitous ricochet inside the box to side foot past Heurelho Gomes from the left hand side of the area, eight yards from goal. They had been advised of Young Boys intentions after just two minutes when Lulic had cut inside Giovanni Dos Santos and fired a low shot against Gomes right post. Surprisingly it was the speed and frenetic consistency of Young Boys attacking movement that had Spurs perplexed and appearing sluggish, thus it was soon 2-0. Pavlyuchenko not for the last time carele sly gave the Asdrubal Cabrera Jersey ball away, consequently allowing Thierry Doubai to serge through the heart of the Tottenham midfield before feeding Henri Bienvenu who burned past Michael Dawson before clinically side footing past the despairing Gomes. Xavier Hochstra ser then put the hosts 3-0 as he crept in behind Ba song to collect a fine pa s from Moreno Costanzo before firing into the back of the net. By this stage Redknapp was apoplectic on the sidelines resembling an Italian who had justfound his new Ferrari Enzo clamped after attending Sunday Ma s. His belated move on 36 minutes was to take off Benoit A sou Ekotto and bring on Tom Huddlestone in the hope of gaining better control in midfield. Ba songs headed goal from a Gareth Bale corner came crucially three minutes before half time, which must have served as some means of a sedative to the already raging Redknapp.Spurs manager Harry Redknapp was clearly disappointed with his team's first half showingFurther changes in the second half saw Niko Kranjcar come on for his Croatian teammate Luka Modric and Robbie Keane replace the out of sorts Jermain Defoe. And it was Keane who linked up nicely with the otherwise disappointing Neil Walker Jersey Pavlyuchenko, coolly playing in the Ru sian who superbly blazed the ball into the roof of the net from an acute angle giving Tottenham the tonic of a second away goal. Tottenham's second away goal could be critical for the return leg at White Hart LaneGiven the way the team from north London played last season, this performance was as illogical and confusing as Redknapps post match analysis in which he stated he wouldnt hold responsible the plastic pitch, before blaming nothing but. In departing, the Spurs entourage left the Stade de Sui se visibly Steven Matz Jersey relieved of the outcome and comforted by the prospect of a second leg on home soil. Though it is clear for all now, they have been warned. A replication of last nights shambles and the venue will be as futile as the idea that Tottenham could ever breeze through a game of such magnitude.
