If you can't make it to the final of Tottenham UEL, enjoy unprecedented preferential treatment → A major twist in adjusting the game's schedule



Tottenham's game schedule has been adjusted.

Matt Law, a reporter for the British Telegraph, said on his personal SNS on the 6th (Korea time) that `Aston Villa vs Tottenham match will be changed to 7:30 p.m. (local time) on Friday, May 16. This means that if Tottenham and Manchester United advance to the Europa League (UEL) final, both teams will have the same preparation time. Premier League fixtures will be announced today," he reported.

Tottenham attempted to reschedule their match against Villa after reaching the semi-finals of the UEL. Originally, the match between Tottenham and Villa was scheduled to be held at 10:15 p.m. on the 18th in Korean time. When Tottenham reached the UEL final, it was to take a break for about 78 hours after the match against Villa.

It was also a problem that there were not many breaks ahead of the final, but it was the difference in schedule with Manchester United that bothered Tottenham. Manchester United, who are likely to face the final, face Chelsea before they play the UEL final. The league schedule for the two teams is scheduled for 4 a.m. on the 17th in Korean time. If Manchester United and Tottenham reach the UEL final at the same time, Manchester United will have more than 18 hours to spare than Tottenham.




Tottenham, who is so desperate to win, naturally wanted both teams to fight under equal conditions and change the game schedule. Originally, the villa refused to do so. In fact, there is no case of revising the schedule already decided during the season because of the European match. It has already been difficult to find a request to change the schedule in consideration of the European competition from the time the schedule was organized.

Villa's last home game this season is against Tottenham. Most clubs host the last home game of the season by inviting the players' families and greeting fans for the season. Villa were not going to accept Tottenham's request because they were preparing for the event on their original scheduled schedule.

In the end, Tottenham's request seems to have been accepted. It is not yet clear why he accepted Tottenham's request.

It is a decision that could be a handshake for Tottenham. Tottenham won the first leg of the UEL semifinal against Bodo/Glimt 3-1 to gain an advantage, but the power leakage is severe. It is also unclear whether Son Heung-min will play, but James Madison is also likely to be out for the season. In the away game of the second round, Bodhi's major powers are also returning, so it is not a situation that can be guaranteed to advance to the finals yet.

Tottenham are expected to be reduced to teasing if they fail to reach the UEL final due to a humiliating defeat in the second leg against Borda.
