The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 660

Sometimes Ye Qiu feels that as a head coach, he can't be too cautious in the formation of troops on the football field, but he can't be too crazy and adventurous. In the final analysis, he feels that there is a kind of human mentality that is worth learning from.

I still remember that in China, in my hometown, a small village more than 60 kilometers away from Xiamen, during the process of urbanization, there were many middle-aged people in the village who were in the prime of life and who were in their thirties to 50 years old when they were engaged in business. I like gambling very much, because they all suddenly got a huge sum of money during the demolition process of urbanization.

As little as 10,000+, as many as over a million, or even over ten million for a certain part of the population, this was a huge sum of money that was unimaginable to the farmers in the small villages at that time. Although they lost their land, they had money, so they began to enjoy life in a legitimate way, instead of entering the nearby factories to continue working.

For a millionaire, it is more cost-effective to lend money to a familiar businessman and collect interest every month than to go to work in a factory, so gambling has become a part of their daily life when they are not working .

But it is also gambling, some people gamble very smartly, while others gamble bankrupt, why?
There is such a group of people in Ye Qiu's old home. There are very few people in this group. Amateur gambler.

Because it is known that there are such a group of people who like to gamble in the vicinity of ten kilometers away, almost every day outside gamblers come to gamble, and without exception, they are all professional gamblers who go up to compete face to face, while other amateur gamblers are Bet on the sidelines.

Of course, there are also some good gamblers from outside, so amateur gamblers have to look at the situation, who is in a good situation and who is in a bad situation.
Later, someone came up with a saying, that is, in the village, all the people who gambled and lost their fortunes were actually stupid people who gambled. They only knew how to play recklessly. In the end, not only did he lose all the money he won, but he even lost his own capital, and when he lost, his eyes were red, which made the loss even worse.

The really smart people who gamble, no matter whether they win or lose, I just taste it. If I win, I will accept it. Lose more and lose less as they bet smarter and smarter.

The mentality of a gambler is not to be red-eyed, not to be anxious, and not to follow the dealer blindly. You have to have your own judgment and rhythm.

Why does Ye Qiu feel that this kind of gambler psychology is worth learning from?

That's because he knows very well that any team can't be in a good state forever, and you can't play every game for the whole season with one rhythm. Even he analyzed later that Bielsa's Chile Can't go further in the World Cup, is it because they have maintained the same style and rhythm for many consecutive games?
You must know that the current professional football is very targeted. When you played well in the last game, the opponent in the next game will conduct targeted attacks based on the style you have shown and the weaknesses you have exposed. layout.

Playing against Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur is playing crazy, the team's state has ushered in a climax, but this climax state cannot last for a long time, so Ye Qiu must find a way to suppress this state , this is not just for long-term combat, but also to make some changes.

In Tottenham Hotspur's White Hart Lane game against Manchester City, the starting lineup is still the same starting lineup as Manchester United, but the team's opening style has kept up with the away game. It was completely different against Old Trafford.

In that game, Tottenham Hotspur attacked and bombed indiscriminately, but this game was not the case. Tottenham Hotspur started steadily and slowly, while Manchester City was the opposite of the past. The style of play was aggressive after the opening.

Manchester City's starting lineup for this game is 4231 tactics, the goalkeeper is Joe Hart, the defense is Clichy, Lescott, Hangeland and Maicon, and the double midfielders are Yaya Toure and De Rossi, with Modric, Aguero and Nasri in the frontcourt, and Balotelli as the lone striker, and this is also Nasri's first game for Manchester City.

In less than 20 seconds, Nasri took the ball from the right and broke through Marcelo to make a cross. Aguero kicked a low shot from the left edge of the penalty area, but it missed the left post slightly and failed to hit. Goal, but this is undoubtedly a head start.

Then Manchester City started another round of aggressive attacks. In the 3rd minute, 7th minute and 9th minute, they launched a round of fierce attacks against Tottenham Hotspur in succession. They scored five shots in the first 10 minutes. Opportunities, and Tottenham Hotspur only used a counter-attack to create a threat, but failed to score.

The Tottenham Hotspur players on the pitch are just as patient as the fans in the stands at White Hart Lane, because everyone believes that at Tottenham Hotspur's home ground, even at Tottenham Hotspur's In front of the spurs, no team has been able to maintain long-term suppression and advantage. Can Manchester City do it?
Ye Qiu remained patient on the sidelines, adjusted the team's tactics appropriately with gestures and shouts, and didn't seem to have any thoughts or intentions to change the status quo of the game, especially when he realized that Manchester City had a targeted plan to When Pirlo hit the single midfielder, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Am I that stupid?" Although Ye Qiu was asking Mauro Tassotti this question, he really wanted to ask Mancini.

Everyone in the world knows that a single midfielder is not suitable for the current tactics, but Ye Qiu dares to play a single midfielder, isn't he afraid of breaking this taboo?Isn't he afraid that others will hit his weakness as a single midfielder?
In fact, the entire center of Tottenham Hotspur can be seen as a whole.

Cavani is in front, but he defends aggressively, Ramsey and Vidal are behind Cavani, they use running and covering to connect the area between Cavani and Pirlo, Pirlo stops behind both of them position, Thiago Silva and Kompany are behind and around Pirlo.

At first glance, the four lines are very clear, but if you pay attention to the game field, it is not difficult to find that the four lines of Tottenham Hotspur never exceed 40 meters from the front to the back. At some point it will be compressed to within 30 meters.

What does this mean?This means that it is difficult for you to tell whether it is a single midfielder, a double midfielder, or even a triple midfielder!
In theory, it is a single midfielder, only Pirlo, but because of the short distance, any one of Vidal and Ramsey appearing around Pirlo can be regarded as a double midfielder, Thiago Silva and Kompany Anyone who moves forward can be regarded as a thug next to Pirlo, who is also a double midfielder. Even if one of the central midfielders comes back and one of the double central defenders goes up, it is a three midfielder, and the wavy line of defense can ensure that the double central defender goes up one After that, the full-backs on his side will take the initiative to delay.

What is integration?This is all about being in one!
Therefore, when Manchester City started the game, it seemed that they had the upper hand, launching attacks frequently, and threatening Tottenham Hotspur's goal again and again, but in fact, they had almost no real threatening shooting opportunities, More are done by crossing from the side or long shots from the center.

Manchester City is under a lot of pressure now. They played in the Champions League qualifiers in the middle of the week. Although they have successfully advanced, their physical exertion is not small. Now they are a guest at White Hart Lane Stadium. It is also with the attitude of trying out the team, coupled with the strategy drawn up before the game, let you attack after the opening.

"There are always some people who will think others are fools at certain times!" Mauro Tassotti said with a chuckle, "Mancini was not calm enough in this game. He beat Udinese 5-1 at home. After the game, he seemed a bit arrogant, thinking that his team could compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona."

Mancini's original words were, "Although I don't think we have surpassed Real Madrid, Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur at this moment, it can be said that we are already on the same level as these top giants, or very close." Close to these teams."

You can understand this sentence as his ambition, and you can also see that he wants to use this kind of words to boost the morale of the team, but what should be seen more is that no matter from which angle you look at it, from the Premier League From the perspective of the Champions League, you are not qualified to stand with the top giants, or the gap is not usually big.

Of course, it must be admitted that the current Manchester City lineup is indeed extremely strong. Whether it is the thickness of the bench or the main lineup, they are all very good. Even if they insist on two-line combat, they can form an effective rotation. , They can play against giants such as Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea whose strength has declined, but against Tottenham Hotspur?
"They still have a long way to go!" Ye Qiu responded with a smile to the assistant's words.

The way Tottenham are playing right now is interesting, resilient and haunting.

Manchester City attacked after the opening, Tottenham Hotspur chose to avoid their edge, but you Manchester City team cannot attack for a long time, especially when my defense can effectively contain your attack, your attack can be maintained how long?

You know, controlling the rhythm of the game and taking advantage of the scene are two different things. The latter is easy. If you have the courage to push all the players up to attack, then your advantage is definitely obvious, but only for a short time, but Controlling the rhythm of the game is a very complicated system engineering. In many cases, in a game, you can't tell who is controlling the rhythm, or who is affecting the change of the rhythm.

Strictly speaking, it is impossible for the rhythm to be completely controlled by either party, because you only have eleven people, and the other party also has eleven people. Even if you can control the rhythm of your own eleven people, how can you control the opponent's eleven people? personal?

Not to mention that for most teams, controlling the rhythm of their eleven players is a big problem!
Then, the so-called controlling the rhythm is better to say it is to guide the rhythm, to guide the rhythm of the game into the rhythm that is more suitable for you to play, or to play in a rhythm that you have arranged in advance. This is like a tug-of-war , you pull toward you, and I pull toward mine.

But the problem is, a football game is not a tug-of-war, so if you pull hard, I will let go, and all of you will fall down. At this time, if I go over and kill you, you will be finished.

So Tottenham Hotspur's tactics in this game are very interesting. After the opening, Ye Qiu saw that Manchester City wanted to attack, so Ye Qiu arranged players for Manchester City to attack, and he defended in an orderly manner. The rush to attack directly led to the passivity after the opening, but it did not give Manchester City a good chance to score.

Mancini is not an idiot either. He gradually realized that Tottenham Hotspur is difficult to deal with, and also realized that his targeted attack would not be effective. He also knew that the team could not maintain this fast-paced offensive for a long time, so he decided to If you want to stabilize, slow down the rhythm appropriately, and even retract the overall forward-pressing formation.

But at this time Tottenham Hotspur took the initiative to entangle you, not letting you slow down, not letting you shrink.

The first 15 minutes were 15 minutes of crazy attack by Manchester City, but from 15 minutes to 10 minutes, it completely turned into a scuffle between the two sides. It is a good thing to say, but for Manchester City, it may not be so.

Because Ye Qiu did this on purpose, to prevent Manchester City from having any chance to breathe.

Mancini is in distress now, he even has the urge to yell, just now I played against you, you dare not, now I don't attack, but you are stalking me, what do you want to do?Can you still have some morals?Do you look like a strong team?Do you have the demeanor of a strong team?

After 10 minutes, Tottenham Hotspur's advantage became obvious. Especially when he realized that Manchester City was gradually unable to keep up, Ye Qiu signaled the team to continue to invest in the attack.

I didn't try my best just now, I saved my strength to fight with you, purely to consume you, now that you are almost exhausted, of course I want to start to reverse the situation, do I just let this opportunity pass by in front of me? ?

No.30 In the second minute, an interesting phenomenon clearly showed the reversal of the situation between the two sides, that is, Alves rushed to the frontcourt to participate in the attack, and Modric, who returned to the defense, pulled down his former teammate and was shown by the referee A yellow card.

Even Andy Gray and Richard Keith, who commented on this game, began to realize that something was wrong with Manchester City.

"I jumped too hard after the opening game, and now I'm a little out of breath!" Richard Keith said with a smile.

If it is said that Alves' forward move just now was a test of the water temperature, then after testing the real situation of Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur will soon come to you for real.

Marcelo made a forward move. After getting the ball from Pirlo, he dribbled the ball forward and entered the Manchester City half. Messi, who switched to the left, went straight to the left side of the penalty area.

Messi and Maicon, if you just look at the height, Messi is at a disadvantage, but Messi's upper body strength is not bad. He can gain a foothold in the Premier League. His ability in this aspect should not be too bad, otherwise , Being knocked down by someone, it is impossible to gain a foothold in the European professional mainstream league.

In fact, quite a few fans in previous lives ignored Messi's upper body strength, so that there was an illusion that he could only gain a foothold in La Liga, and it was difficult to gain a foothold in other European leagues.

Although Ye Qiu's previous life in La Liga did have the bonus effect of Barcelona's tactical system, but his super personal strength should not be underestimated. Coupled with his humble learning attitude, he can finally become the world's football No. 1.

Maicon undoubtedly made the same mistake as many fans in Ye Qiu's previous life. He mistakenly thought that a short player like Messi would be able to contain him by using his physical fitness and strength to run him. To his great surprise, under his physical confrontation, Messi turned around very flexibly.

This made Maicon a little unexpected, and even lost his balance for a while. He wanted to recover, but saw that Messi had turned around and was rushing forward quickly, and Messi activated his ability in the instant of turning around. , In today's football, almost no one can match, because he is smaller, more flexible, and faster to start.

After throwing away Maicon, Messi caught up with Marcelo's through ball in the blink of an eye, but he did not love the ball, but directly kicked the ball low and passed it to the left side of the small penalty area.

At the same time that Messi threw off Maicon, Cavani also rushed up from behind in Manchester City's penalty area. Taking advantage of the late serve, he blocked Hangeland with his body and blocked Messi's ball from the left. , sent into the lower left corner of the goal guarded by Joe Hart, almost rubbing the bottom of the net into the left post, 1:0!

The entire White Hart Lane Stadium was completely ignited with passion. All the fans, men, women, young and old, all rushed out of their seats, and greeted Cavani who rushed out of the stadium with open arms, there was an overwhelming cheer.

"Let me just say, you pounced so fiercely at the beginning, and you can't get it back now. Tottenham Hotspur is too good at playing rhythm games. On the surface, Manchester City has the advantage, but in fact it is stepping in. Tottenham Hotspur's trap." Richard Keith shook his head and sighed, Mancini's ability to adapt and observe the situation in this game was too weak.

Andy Gray also looked sad, "Tottenham Hotspur originally had the ability to play against Manchester City, but Ye Qiu's game is completely different from the last game against Manchester United. The last game was head-to-head. But this time he won't fight you head-on, I'll consume you first, and then slowly deal with you, the result you see..."

"Mancini must react as soon as possible, and Tottenham Hotspur will definitely chase after it!" Richard Keith predicted.

Andy Gray laughed, "This is the style of Tottenham Hotspur, and it is also the style of Ye Qiu!"

Sure enough, after scoring the first goal, Tottenham Hotspur immediately sounded a round of indiscriminate bombing. In the next few minutes, they kept hitting Manchester City's goal. In the 38th and fourth 39th minutes, they scored three consecutive shots into the Manchester City penalty area and got two chances to score goals. The Manchester City penalty area suddenly became jittery.

But just when Yaya Toure and De Rossi both returned to the front of the penalty area, No.401 minutes, the frontcourt changed positions again, Messi got the ball in the middle and turned around to get rid of the diagonal pass to the left, Ribery used his speed to throw After opening Maicon, a cross from the left was made, and Cavani overwhelmed Clichy with a right point, and once again broke through Manchester City's goal with a header, 2:0!

So far, the game has no suspense!
