The Reason Why Tottenham Never Lifts a Trophy
North London — Chairman's Office, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Lining the shelves were books about football history and trophies... but none of them belonged to Tottenham. They were just plaques, invitations, and souvenirs from other leagues and tournaments.
Daniel Levy sat at the center of a grand desk.
And standing in front of him — was Leo.
Unlike the average football fan, Leo's eyes were sharp, filled with suspicion and defiance. The moment their gazes met, a strange tension filled the room.
Leo: "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Levy."
Leo spoke first.
But Levy didn't respond right away.
Instead, he simply stared at Leo in silence... before curling his lips into a thin smile — somewhere between amusement and mockery.
Levy: "I heard... you're here to ask why Tottenham can't lift a trophy."
His voice was low and composed — but carried the subtle arrogance of a man enjoying the test.
Leo took a quiet breath.
Today, in this very room, he was determined to uncover the truth.
Leo: "Mr. Levy. Why is it that Tottenham never wins a trophy?"
Levy: "The reason Tottenham never lifts a trophy... is simple.
Winning a trophy was never the goal."
Leo: "...Not the goal?"
Levy: "That's right. Look at Tottenham now. We've built a brand-new stadium. We host concerts here. We make plenty of money without trophies. The funds to build a winning team? We have that already."
Leo: "And yet... you choose not to win?"
Levy: "Exactly. I run this club with two main objectives.
First — making money."
Leo: "Everyone knows you're a penny-pinching Jewish businessman. But wouldn't winning a trophy bring even more money?"
Levy: "Not quite. Chasing trophies actually hurts profitability.
To win, you need to spend fortunes on star players — but the financial return from lifting a trophy is often small.
Staying in the upper-mid table? That's the sweet spot for making money."
Leo: "So you're saying you're just a petty man obsessed with profit?"
Levy: "Profit isn't my only goal. My second objective... is raising players I personally like.
But that too — means not winning trophies."
Leo: "...Why is that?"
Levy: "If you chase trophies, the squad gets filled with expensive, ready-made stars.
And when that happens — there's no room for young talents to play."
Leo: "But professional sports should aim for trophies!
What's the point if you never win?"
Levy: "Professional sports, at its core... exists for entertainment.
Winning trophies is just one form of entertainment.
Some people find joy in victory. Others find joy in nurturing young talents.
Some enjoy making money.
And others... just want to see their favorite player score beautiful goals."
Leo: "Like watching Son Heung-min score, even if the team never lifts a trophy?"
Levy: "Exactly.
Some people criticize Son for not winning trophies.
But look at what he's accomplished.
Even without a trophy, he's scored magnificent goals, become a global superstar, and given countless fans unforgettable moments.
Isn't that enough?"
Chapter 4 — The 5D Debate on Tottenham's Trophy Curse
[5D Space-Time — The Arena of Ultra-Dimensional Debate]
An infinite expanse.
No light. No darkness.Time does not flow — until words are spoken. Then logic begins to move.
Here, in a place where even existence itself is fluid, beings standing between humanity and transcendence have gathered.
They bear the names of men — but their true forms are waves of thought and pulses of philosophy.
And today, the single topic before them is:
"Can Tottenham Ever Lift a Trophy?"
Without shape, yet radiating an overwhelming presence — it was Jesus who spoke first.
His voice was calm enough to shake the entire space... and strangely warm.
Jesus: "Tottenham lifting a trophy... is harder than a camel passing through the eye of a needle."
Socrates: "Tottenham — know thyself.
If they truly know who they are, they will understand why trophies forever escape them."
Newton: "Tottenham's failure to lift a trophy can be explained by the Law of Universal Gravitation.
Just as an apple falls to the ground... so too does Tottenham's league position inevitably fall."
Einstein: "According to the Theory of Relativity...
Tottenham fails to lift a trophy because, relatively speaking, they're just not good enough."
Newton: *"No, Einstein. This isn't about relativity.
This is about absoluteness.
Tottenham's future without trophies is already determined."*
Einstein: "But Mr. Newton... as a proud Englishman, why do you despise Tottenham so much?"
Newton: "Simple. I support Arsenal."
Silence.
A profound stillness spread across the entire dimension.
And in everyone's mind echoed the same thought:
"Ah..."
This wasn't about science anymore.
This was personal.
Buddha: "From the desire for trophies arises suffering.
The craving for victory is the root of all agony.
To attain true peace, one must transcend attachment.
Clinging to trophies clouds the heart... and endless suffering follows.
Therefore, abandon desire. Liberate your mind.
All things are impermanent. Let go of attachment. Awaken to the present moment.
True victory lies not in lifting a trophy — but in freeing the heart from desire itself."
(As Buddha's words fell into silence...)
And then... it happened.
Time froze.
Space twisted.
A strange energy began to fill the void.
And in one of the previously empty seats...
A figure quietly sat — cloaked in black.
No crown. No glory. Not even a name known to the world.
He was... The God of No Trophies.
To be continued...
