The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 479 Another purpose
Tottenham Hotspur's first warm-up match of the new season is against Leyton Orient, also in London.

This League One, England's third-tier league team welcomes Tottenham Hotspur at its home court, and this is also the first game Tottenham Hotspur ushered in after ten days of training. The purpose is to adjust the status of the players, and at the same time adjust the team's lineup configuration.

Ye Qiu's starting lineup for this game has changed quite a bit. Petr Cech is the goalkeeper, Marcelo, Kompany, Thiago Silva and Alves are the defense lineup, and the big midfielder is the midfielder. David Silva, Yaya Toure and Cesc Fabregas, Gareth Bale, Robin van Persie and Messi in the frontcourt.

Because the overall strength of the team has an absolute advantage, Leyton Orient simply cannot resist the control of Tottenham Hotspur. From the beginning of the game, Tottenham Hotspur firmly grasped the game situation and could not move. This is just a warm-up match, so the players played very relaxed and confident.

Judging from the performance of Tottenham Hotspur players on the field, after the baptism of the Champions League champions, the players' self-confidence has indeed been greatly improved, and their playing style is also very calm. Facing the pressure of Leyton Orient , Tottenham Hotspur are very skillful in controlling the game and controlling the ball.

However, Tottenham Hotspur's performance is obviously not exciting enough. This probably has a lot to do with the team's devil pre-season training at Theobald Training Base in the past ten days, because Tottenham Hotspur's Tactical play has a lot of requirements on the physical fitness of the players, so including Peter Brandt, they have been refining the physical fitness of the players.

The so-called off-ball running, it is very important to be able to run, this is the foundation, and then to run smart.

To run, you need physical fitness, so in the past two years, Ye Qiu has been supporting Peter Brandt's research in related fields, and Tottenham Hotspur's training programs are also being updated and improved, so the players The improvement of physical fitness and physical fitness, although there is no terrible transformation, but at least the improvement effect is very ideal.

At least, in the past two seasons, there have been no major problems in two-line combat and physical fitness.

Moreover, with the accumulation of experience in the past few seasons and the detailed data as the basis, Peter Brandt's research team has achieved initial results in this area, and the new season will further apply the research results to training.

According to the analysis of Ye Qiu and the coaching staff, judging from the current overall situation of Tottenham Hotspur, in the case of ensuring the team's smooth passing and receiving cooperation, if the team can effectively integrate the team's midfield and wings If the player's running distance is increased to an average of [-] per game, and if all players average more than [-] per game excluding the goalkeeper, then the overall strength of Tottenham Hotspur will be greatly improved compared to the current level.

Of course, the premise of this data is to ensure the team's smooth cooperation and success rate of passing and receiving.

Don't underestimate the data given by Peter Brandt, because Tottenham Hotspur pays great attention to liquidity, and also pays great attention to pulling and interspersing. After the team sold Ruud Ruud, the average running The moving distance has been greatly improved, and the team's overall offensive level has also improved.

A very simple reason, the team's offense is based on fluidity and interspersed pulling, then, on the basis of ensuring some fixed conditions, the more you run, the more you can prove your ability to create opportunities, and the stronger your overall offensive ability.

But this does not mean running blindly, running non-stop, and counting the distance you run, because it is useless to run only one game. The key is to have enough strength to run for a season, and even insist on two-line battles.

Therefore, the data given by Peter Brandt is only a general direction, but it requires the team from players to the coaching staff, from technical and tactical skills to the overall tactical system, and then to the team's training. It is a complete system. Engineering, rather than simply requiring you to run so simple.

From this game against Leyton Orient, we can clearly see the advantages of Tottenham Hotspur.

After two weeks of training, Tottenham Hotspur players are not in shape, but even if they are not in good physical condition, they are still completely ahead of Leyton Orient in running, so it is easy, Tottenham Hotspurs tore through Leyton Orient's defense time and time again, scoring goals again and again.

Franck Ribery is not here, and Ye Qiu is trying to use Gareth Bale to play on the left, but if he wants to play his impact on the left, he must be properly withdrawn and then inserted, so next Toth Nam Tottenham use the right side as an important offensive point to attract defensive firepower, and then play the threat of plugging in from the left side.

In the past two seasons, Gareth Bale has been relatively healthy in the Tottenham Hotspur team without any major injury problems, so the improvement is obvious. There are also teammates supporting him, so he played well.

However, it was Messi who made Ye Qiu even more satisfied, because he scored a hat-trick and had an assist in the first half.

The main means of attack is still relying on Messi, Van Persie, and Alves interspersed and back-running back and forth to open up the defensive players to create gaps.

Judging from the midfield performance in the first half, Cesc Fabregas was as outstanding as ever, as evidenced by his two assists. David Silva also performed well, but the next problem to be solved is that he and The tacit understanding of teammates on the field, as well as the interaction and support with Cesc Fabregas, as well as the echo between the first two players and Yaya Toure.

With Yaya Toure's ability and personality, it's a pity to be suppressed in the midfielder position. Ye Qiu plans to expand his defensive area and make him a late midfielder. Ability, this is definitely not a problem, he will do better than Mascherano.

The only hidden danger is that he loves to insert this question. Ye Qiu does not reject him, but the key is to see the timing.

Playing against a team like Leyton Orient, there is really no problem at all.

In the first half, they defeated Leyton Orient 5-0 cleanly. In the second half, Ye Qiu adjusted the lineup.

Gareth Bale goes off, Van Persie and Cavani play forward, Fabregas plays midfielder, behind David Silva, Ramsey and Beckham, Arbeloa, Yaya Toure , Thiago? Silva and Alves form the defense, the goalkeeper is Joe Cole, which is prepared for the beginning of the season.

The team scored two more goals in the second half and beat Leyton Orient 7-0. However, after 10 minutes of the game, Ye Qiu replaced Van Persie, Alves and others, obviously the effect was not very good. , and after the substitution, Kyle Walker was quite eye-catching on the right. This England right back is really fast and sharp, but still a little immature.

After playing Leyton Orient, Tottenham Hotspur's first warm-up match of the new season has been affirmed by the outside world. All the teams that were worried that Tottenham Hotspur's offensive ability will be weakened now realize that Tottenham Hotspur's offensive ability will be weakened. Turnham Hotspur didn't hurt at all, because the key core players are still in the team.

Marcelo and Gareth Bale are also doing well on the left. Although they are still not comparable to the combination of Vargas and Ribery, especially in terms of defense, they are still worthy of recognition. After all, they are both rookies and need more improvement. Play more games to help you grow.

Back at Theobald Training Base, the team rested for another three days before heading to Scotland to challenge the Scottish Super League team Celtic away. This was Tottenham Hotspur's last warm-up match before their trip to China.

Tottenham Hotspur still looked very tired in the game, which has something to do with the fact that the team still spent the past few days in high-intensity training, and this is also a deliberate move by the Tottenham Hotspur coaching staff , It is necessary to deliberately suppress the player's state, which will make the team's pre-season training more effective.

Sometimes the state is like this, you can’t go out too fast, and you can’t explode too violently, because if you go out fast, the next trough will be very painful. According to Peter Brandt, the player’s state It is always like walking a parabola, the higher the rush, the lower the fall, so the best and most ideal is to control the high point and the low point, try to keep floating within a reasonable range above and below the balance line, so that the team The fighting power will not fluctuate too much and maintain a stable performance.

But against the Celtics, Tottenham Hotspur still defeated their opponents 2-0 very readily and completed the two-game winning streak in the pre-season warm-up match, but the overall offense was not very smooth. After all, the Celtics The strength is there, and Ye Qiu consciously wants to adjust the team's tactics during the Olympic Games, so it is normal that the performance is not very good.

After playing the Celtics, they returned to London and rested for one night. The next day, the team took a chartered flight from London to Shanghai, China. This was the first stop of Tottenham Hotspur’s trip to China. .

The Barclays Premier League Asian Cup in the Premier League is held every two years. It was played in 07, so it will not be available until 09. Tottenham Hotspur is acting alone this time, which is not considered a collective action of the Premier League, so this trip The trip to China aroused huge repercussions. After all, they came with the halo of the Champions League, and they are the Chinese team. In addition, there are no other European teams in Asia at this time. Tottenham Hotspur monopolizes this schedule. Naturally attract attention.

For this Premier League upstart, no one will underestimate it, because Tottenham Hotspur's performance in the past two seasons has made people have to admire this resilient quasi-rich team, and they still have the halo of the Champions League. Come, the media seems to be on holiday, and the fans are also swarming in pursuit.

In the past two seasons, Tottenham Hotspur under the leadership of Ye Qiu has paid great attention to Asia when developing new markets, especially the development of domestic football fans. The European teams of the official Chinese fans club, and last season's Champions League final, the team sent out more than 2000 final tickets in China.

For the trip to China and Asia, Tottenham Hotspur has been planning for a long time, because this is Ye Qiu's base camp and the biggest potential market in the future, but Ye Qiu and Eliza have always felt that the timing is not right. The first season was too rushed, there was no preparation, and the second season was not the best time.

Until now, Tottenham Hotspur have found the best time, and after a long period of deliberation and promotion, they decided to launch a China tour, and next year the team will go to North America, which is a collective action in cooperation with the Premier League After all, as a Premier League team, Tottenham Hotspur have obligations in this regard.

After arriving in Shanghai, Tottenham Hotspur spent the short ten days in an orderly and compact way. From Shanghai to Tianjin to BJ, they played three warm-up matches, 1-0, 4:0, 2:1, won three warm-up matches successively, the performance is not very good, but at least they are worthy of the status of Champions League champions, and they have controlled the absolute advantage in every game.

Many domestic fans also understand this. After all, this is a preseason game and the team is in the adjustment stage. If it is performing very well now, it will not be a good thing.

And on the second night after BJ finished the warm-up match, Tottenham Hotspur teamed up with Huangtian Group, China Leaf Technology, BMW, Adidas and Qatar Airways, as well as many domestic sponsors, to organize a Charity auction gala, this time the gala is held online and offline at the same time.

All Tottenham Hotspur players, including Ye Qiu, put out some personal and commemorative items for auction. Not only can everyone bid on Leaf Technology's shopping website at the same time, but they can also participate in the charity gala , participate in live auctions, and both auctions are held simultaneously.

What Ye Qiu took out this time was the Zeus first-generation mobile phone he used in the UEFA Champions League. It is different from other mass-produced Zeus first-generation mobile phones. It is all manufactured by Leaf Technology engineers themselves, and the CPU, memory and other hardware configurations are also different. They are all different. It is one of the few engineering prototypes in the world, and it is also the first engineering prototype to be put up for auction.

In addition to this mobile phone, Ye Qiu also took out the UEFA Champions League medal he just won not long ago, which was a promise he made before the UEFA Champions League final, and some of his personal belongings, all of which were Rather commemorative.

Ye Qiu took out a few pieces, and the players each took out a few pieces. A few more valuable pieces were selected on the spot for auction, and the rest will be put on the Internet to continue auctioning in the future. All the auction proceeds All the funds will be donated to the disaster area for the construction of Hope Primary School.

Sometimes, even Ye Qiu has to admire that there are so many rich people in China. His first-generation Zeus mobile phone was sold for a sky-high price of more than 300 million. I can't believe it, and his championship medal is even more outrageous, directly sold for an astonishing price of more than 800 million.

The selling prices of other Tottenham Hotspur players are generally relatively low, and the highest is also in the six figures. Only two souvenirs from Ye Qiu in the audience reached the seven figures, but overall, the income is still Quite impressive, and there will be some Tottenham Hotspur signed jerseys, player memorabilia and the like in the future, which will continue to be auctioned online.

Tottenham Hotspur's trip to China not only caused a sensation in China, but also attracted the attention and response of the media all over the world. According to media reports, every activity and appearance of Tottenham Hotspur in China , attracted an average of more than [-] media and reporters to attend, and the charity gala even attracted political and business celebrities from all walks of life.

But for Tottenham Hotspur's China tour, the outside world generally gave affirmation, because this time Tottenham Hotspur donated all the income from all the matches and commercial activities of the China tour to the disaster area, and most of the expenses were paid. Sponsors are responsible for this, with the remaining small portion being paid for by the clubs themselves.

This move has not only won the affirmation of the domestic media, but also won the appreciation of fans all over the world. They all feel that this is a real charity trip, not just to make money.

Of course, some naysayers are unavoidable. They think that Tottenham Hotspur’s charity is fake, because although this trip did not make money and they donated more than 3000 million yuan, Tottenham Hotspur will continue to make money from this in the future. Profit from a trip to China, and the increase in the team's reputation and influence, as well as the increase in brand value brought by this trip, are immeasurable.

Regarding these stinging remarks, Ye Qiu directly gave a big smile on his Chinese real-name certified Twitter, and then said, "I dare not say that the team will not benefit from the China trip in the future, and neither can I. Tell others whether we are fake charity, but what I want to say is that it doesn’t matter whether charity is true or not, the important thing is that some people don’t even want to fake it, that’s sad!”

Ye Qiu's remarks once again caused a lot of trouble, directly causing many people to pay attention to his twitter, making his fans soar rapidly, and at the same time, many people also polarized his words. Some people hold on to the comments, some think the counterfeiter is too shameless, but most still remain neutral.

This world is like this, everything has two sides, the key depends on where you stand and from what angle you look at it, no matter whether it is a star or a rich man, any person is in the minds of most people in the world , he is really not as important as it seems on the surface, even if he is the president of the United States, most people remain cold and neutral to him.

But in fact, these silent neutrals are the core strength of this world!

After a tour in China, Ye Qiu led the team back to Europe, came to Amsterdam, and participated in the Amsterdam Cup Invitational. Tottenham Hotspur played against Ajax in the first game and Murray in the second game. Neo's Inter Milan, the two games are very important warm-up matches, and they are also the last two warm-up matches of Tottenham Hotspur's summer training.

After the game, the team will return to London to prepare for the Community Shield against defending Premier League champions Manchester United.

The defending champion of the Premier League faced the defending champion of the Champions League, and the replay of the last Champions League final. Such a strong dialogue has already attracted great attention to this year's Community Shield, especially considering that Tottenham Hotspur sold out this summer. There are many main players, and the overall level of Manchester United has not declined, so the duel between the two sides is very eye-catching.

Many people are even looking forward to, will there be another Wembley miracle after the Luzhniki miracle?
But the most important purpose of Ye Qiu's trip to Amsterdam was not to participate in the invitational tournament, but for another purpose.
