The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 487 Fighting against the giants!
After completing the reversal in the first half, Marseille began to shrink in the second half.

Although Marseille is a strong team in Ligue [-] and performed well in Ligue [-], Tottenham Hotspur is the team that hit the league championship in the Premier League. Even if they sent away many players this season, they are still very good in the Champions League. Competitiveness, coupled with the excellent offensive strength of Tottenham Hotspur, so Gretz finally had to choose to shrink the defense.

This also made it difficult for Tottenham Hotspur to score again in the second half, and finally took away a 2:1 reversal from the away game.

In the post-match press conference, Ye Qiu was very dissatisfied with the team's performance. He felt that there was absolutely no need for the team to concede the ball, but at the same time, he was sure that the team's performance had indeed improved Great improvement.

"Marseille's goal woke us up and made us realize that if we don't perform well, any opponent can beat us, so we shouldn't think about other things and forget about us. Last season's Champions League champions, we have to start over!"

As for the team's reversal, Ye Qiu expressed that he had mixed feelings of joy and sorrow. On the one hand, he was delighted to see that after the team won the Champions League, they did not relax their requirements at all, nor did they give up their pursuit and desire for victory. , But on the other hand, he also said that a reversal means that Tottenham Hotspur are not doing well enough, or even poorly.

"I have always felt that a reversal is a manifestation of mental strength, but if you reverse again and again, either your team is not strong enough, or your team has serious problems."

As for the performance of individual players in this game, Ye Qiu singled out Yaya Toure. He first criticized Yaya Toure for most of the responsibility for conceding a goal in the first half, and believed that he had His performance is not ideal, and even this season, after playing the team's starting position, his performance has not been satisfactory.

But Ye Qiu also said that Yaya Toure's performance in the second half of the first half and the second half was satisfactory.

"I was disappointed with Yaya Toure in the first half of the first half, but Yaya Toure in the second half of the first half and the second half gave me hope. I hope he can continue to be good, Because I believe that he can become a strong barrier in front of the team's midfield defense!"

Returning to London from Marseille, France, Tottenham Hotspur had almost no leisure time, and directly ushered in Wigan in the fifth round of the Premier League. This time Tottenham Hotspur played cleanly on their home court 2: 0 defeated Wigan, Messi scored twice again.

He has scored twice in two consecutive games. Messi's recent performance is indeed surprising, especially after finishing the Olympics, he has shown a strong offensive momentum and desire to score, and with Van Persie's tandem , Gareth Bale's impact on the left, Messi will get more opportunities on the right and center.

In the middle of the week, the Premier League ushered in the League Cup, and Tottenham Hotspur challenged Newcastle away.

This time Ye Qiu still arranged all the young substitute players to play, and Newcastle also arranged a lot of substitutes, but the main players including Duff, Martins, Owen and so on all appeared in the starting lineup.

Newcastle took advantage of the home ground and launched a fierce attack on Tottenham's young squad, but this time Yaya Toure was brilliant in midfield, alongside Thiago Silva and Komper The two central defenders formed a defensive trident in the backcourt, together with Arbeloa next to him, and Kyle Walker on the right, the entire defense line was formed quite tightly.

It is precisely because the midfield and backcourt have withstood Newcastle's offensive pressure that Tottenham Hotspur's frontcourt offense can be played very lively, especially the counterattack of the two sides is very sharp, that is, they rely on the left side Two sharp counter-attacks from Eden Hazard and Ashley Young on the right led to Andy Carroll's brace and two crosses in front of Shay Given's goal.

2:0, Tottenham Hotspur relied on the performance of this group of outstanding young players to kill Newcastle in the away game and successfully advanced to the next round, which also made several young players in the Tottenham Hotspur team famous .

This is the first game of the Tottenham Hotspur Cup, but the performance of this group of young players in Tottenham Hotspur is impressive. The 17-year-old Ramsey is very good at holding the ball and organizing attacks General demeanor, in this game he and the 16-year-old Danish teenager Eriksson formed a midfield duo, organized Tottenham Hotspur's midfield in an orderly manner, and the pass during the counterattack was also very threatening and accurate .

Although the best player in the game was given to high center Andy Carroll, in Ye Qiu's eyes, there were two players on the team who performed the best in this game. One was midfielder Yaya Toure, and the other One is captain Thiago Silva.

After Thiago Silva experienced the trough of the first season, he grew very rapidly in the second season, his strength improved rapidly, and his progress was very great. After becoming the captain of the team this season, his performance He is very stable and has a great general style. He left Hangeland, but whether he is partnered with Ziglinski or Kompany, he has played very steadily.

Yaya Toure continued his excellent performance after the match in Marseille, and Ye Qiu didn't intend to interrupt his state, because he knew very well that this was a very important thing for Yaya Toure. A very critical period.

The growth of every player is accompanied by a lot of unpredictability, so a long period of stable performance is very, very valuable for young players, because they will grope and find during this period of time Find your own game rhythm.

The outstanding performance of a game is often only possible because they grasped a flash of inspiration at a certain time and groped to the threshold, but in fact they may have a very vague concept of it, but you continue to give them games and continue to let them get it. Exercise, familiarize yourself with this threshold from the game, or even walk into the threshold to explore, it represents a leap forward.

So sometimes, looking at many young European players, they may be able to make leaps and bounds in just one season, because of this reason.

And if you don't give them a game at this time, it will be tantamount to interrupting their momentum of progress, and they will miss the opportunity to explore this threshold, and it may be difficult for them to encounter such an opportunity in their lifetime , and finally lost everyone.

So Ye Qiu not only continued to give Yaya Toure the opportunity to practice in games, but also let him continue to play in the League Cup in the middle of the week, because he knew very well that Yaya Toure now needs a lot of games to enrich himself , He needs to rely on the training of the game to master and establish his own way of playing football.

As the head coach, all Ye Qiu needs to do is to guide and give pointers.

Another player who may be transformed this season is Gareth Bale, but Gareth Bale's situation is a bit different, because the 25-year-old Yaya Toure has basically been finalized, and now he has to do it in two Find the one that suits you in one road, but Gareth Bell chooses in many roads.

At present, the trident of Tottenham Hotspur is Gareth Bale, Van Persie and Messi. Van Persie is in the center forward, so it goes without saying. The technique at the feet is very delicate, even when encountering the opponent's intensive defense, it can come and go like the wind and pass through freely.

What satisfied Ye Qiu the most was that not only did Messi have a keen sense of smell, he was able to seize the opponent's gaps in the shortest time in the shortest possible time while the opponent was defending densely, and then used and attacked him. Can guarantee that he will not be intercepted by the opponent when he takes the ball almost anywhere at any time. Such a player is a powerful improvement for any team's offense.

Relatively speaking, Gareth Bale is relatively simple. Ye Qiu often pulls him back and plays almost a left forward position. This has something to do with his background as a left back. On the one hand, it is to give him space and play his sprint On the other hand, it is also to strengthen the team's midfield defense and support the right side to increase offensive strength.

Gareth Bale's current offensive method is relatively simple. He breaks through from the left, then crosses, or has the opportunity to cut into the penalty area to hit the goal. The standard left winger's style of play is not the same as that of Van Persie, Messi, and Fabrega. There is the slightest transposition between the two.

Therefore, this season, many people feel that Tottenham Hotspur's offense seems to have changed. The front trident does not have so many changes. In fact, this is because Gareth Bale is quite immature and immature. .

In Ye Qiu and the coaching staff's plan for him, for the time being, he will replace Ribery as the main force, and wait until Ribery returns to see how the Frenchman recovers. However, the coaching staff still needs to ensure Gareth Bale's appearance Time, to ensure that he can get the opportunity to practice, this point he is the same as another striker Cavani in the team, they are both Ye Qiu's key training targets.

With the accumulation and improvement of this season, Ye Qiu will try to play Gareth Bale on the right, or in the center, or even as a striker in the next season, and arrange for Cavani to switch positions as much as possible. It is of great benefit to their future growth. Once they really mature, the comprehensiveness of the attributes of multiple positions and technical characteristics will help them reach the peak of their careers.

As Ye Qiu said before, the trend of football now and in the next few years will fully move toward position blurring. Comprehensive technical characteristics are a must. After training in multiple positions, you can explore and find the most suitable position One way, this is undoubtedly the greatest guidance and help Ye Qiu can give these young players.

Just like the hot sale of the Zeus mobile phone, in the eyes of many people, this mobile phone seems to be a hit, but in fact, behind it, countless engineers, countless software developers, countless marketing personnel, and countless professionals are all behind the scenes. Silently paid for it for two or three years, and then it became popular overnight.

The same is true for professional players, especially to cultivate and sculpt a top professional star, which is a systematic project.

If nothing else, just look at Messi, the current Argentine's strength is definitely not as good as his previous life at the same time, the reason is very simple, he has been delayed for a full year at Chelsea, and even though Ye Qiu has been helping him in the past two years Make up lessons, but he is still making rapid progress, and Ye Qiu and the coaching staff have to watch him carefully to avoid being troubled by injuries.

It's like Ribery, who had already seen the way to the top, but because of a serious injury, he is still recovering. Who knows how much he can recover after his comeback?Who is sure if they can return to the level of last season?

Back in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur soon ushered in the sixth round of the league. The team drew 0:0 with Portsmouth in the away game. Spurs did not do their best, including Messi, Cesc Fabregas, Van Persie, Thiago Silva, and many players did not start, but Tottenham still relied on Ashley Young, The outstanding performance of Cavani and others firmly took the advantage, but they were unable to break through the goal of the Pompeii Army.

And all of this is for the first decisive battle with Bayern Munich four days later!
This is also the first battle between the two strongest teams in the group of death!
This is the first time Tottenham Hotspur have faced a giant team in the Champions League since winning the Champions League.

Before this game, Bayern Munich coach Klinsmann said that the strength of Tottenham Hotspur is not as good as the outside world imagined, and he thinks that Tottenham Hotspur's offense is not impossible. To contain and defuse, he firmly believes that the team can get a satisfactory result at White Hart Lane.

In the conversation, Klinsmann also expressed his affirmation of Ye Qiu's team's achievements. He said that Tottenham Hotspur is not the nouveau riche that many media and fans questioned. strong team.

If Klinsmann's remarks were a bit soft, then Ye Qiu's remarks appeared to be very hard. He said that the team must beat the opponent at White Hart Lane, because this is Tottenham Hotspur's new season so far The most important game is directly related to the qualifying of the group, so the team must win it.

"We're playing against the giants!" Ye Qiu delivered his pre-match proclamation almost resoundingly.

Battle giants!
Tottenham Hotspur also expressed a strong fighting spirit, because everyone hopes to continue last season's outstanding performance in the Champions League this season, but many players are cautious about the game.

Thiago Silva, captain of Tottenham Hotspur, predicted the game when he was interviewed by the media before the game. He hoped that the team would not concede a goal, but many familiar media interpreted it. Tottenham Hotspur's offensive strength, not conceding a goal means the team wins, because it may be difficult to concede a goal at Tottenham Hotspur's home court.

Compared with the toughness of Tottenham Hotspur, Bayern Munich in the away game is a bit cautious, which is also related to the injuries they are currently encountering. The main central defender Lucio and the main forward Crowe Zedu will miss this game, but considering that Ribery of Tottenham Hotspur is also absent, the gap in strength between the two sides is not particularly large.

When Lucio was interviewed by the media before the game, he reminded the head coach and teammates to be careful after the opening.

"I played under Mr. Ye Qiu. He is the head coach I respect the most. I know him very well. When playing with him, you must be careful at the beginning. He is the kind who likes to firmly grasp the game from the beginning. He is also the kind of head coach who is very good at creating your weaknesses from unexpected places and hitting them."

"If you don't get off to a good start, this game will be very, very difficult!"

At the same time, Bayern star Beckenbauer reminded Klinsmann to be careful about Tottenham Hotspur's midfield and rhythm.

"As Ferguson said, when you face a team like Tottenham Hotspur, you have to make a choice. You can't let them control their own rhythm, let them play their own style, We should destroy their rhythm and way of playing, not let them play as they please, otherwise, it will be a disaster!"

And in Beckenbauer's column, he analyzed that Tottenham Hotspur's overall offensive and defensive system actually has a strong flavor of Total Offensive and Libero, but it is very different and more in line with The current football tactics are also more penetrating.

"Playing away at Tottenham Hotspur, defense may be a very good choice!" Beckenbauer finally said.

But obviously, Klinsmann doesn't think so. He feels that Bayern Munich may not have the strength to compete with Tottenham Hotspur in the away game. A high center forward like Luca Toni in Brazil.

But just like what Ye Qiu said at the press conference before the game, the best way to avoid conceding the ball is to not let the opponent have a chance to kick easily!

At the beginning of the game, Tottenham Hotspur took advantage of the home court to launch a fierce attack on Bayern Munich, using the problems between Demichelis and the teenager Breno, as well as the immaturity of the young Brazilian central defender to make a fuss and frequently create threats .

In the first minute, Tottenham Hotspur took the lead in opening up the situation. Alves on the right stepped in and cooperated with Messi who cut inside. But suddenly he knocked back to the restricted area with his heel, and Van Persie crossed into the restricted area obliquely offside.

Goalkeeper Bute abandoned the goal and attacked, but Van Persie was obviously prepared, he passed the attacking goalkeeper Bute and pushed lightly, but this sudden shot was caught by the rushing Van Bome at the last moment of the goal I got out of the siege.

Like the rest of their lives, all Bayern Munich players did not expect that Tottenham Hotspur's offensive would come so fiercely, so fast, especially Messi, who was able to pass a pass under the double-teaming of two players. This kind of heel pass, and Van Persie has such a good understanding with him. After Messi took the ball and retreated, he also slanted into the penalty area.

It can be said that this attack is a manifestation of the strength and tacit understanding of Tottenham Hotspur players, and it also made everyone in Bayern Munich almost scared out of their wits.

But soon, Tottenham Hotspur organized another attack, still on the right, still Messi!
