Preseason continues and I will start with the good news first. Benfica 0-1 Tottenham, how about that. The giants from Lisbon came undone thanks to a solitary goal from Gareth Bale assisted by Giovani dos Santos which ensured that we went home with the Eusebio cup (dont ask me) which has been previously won by Inter Milan and the hosts Benfica.
Now for the bad news, Villareal passed us to death at White Hart Lane and ended up crushing us 4-1 in a preseason friendly. A hattrick from former Manchester United forward Giuseppe Rossi did the trick even after Giovani had pulled a goal back after the break. Substitute Ruben then converted the fourth with five minutes left to seal a victory that was well deserved.
More news, and Fiorentina paid White Hart Lane a visit and we sent them back to Italy defeated. We came back from a 0-1 and 1-2 deficit to win 3-2 with a goal from Pav and two fantastic finishes from Keane who is having a marvelous pre-season. Gilardino scored for the visitors and somebody else also scored. I have always maintained, dont sell Keane someone may have started listening.
