The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 802 Fighting with people is endless fun
Although it is the end of March, the sky in London always gets dark faster than other places.

Ye Qiu doesn't have deep knowledge of geography, and he doesn't know why. In short, he is used to this concept of time.

Dressed in standard Adidas casual sportswear from top to bottom, and even wearing Adidas shoes, Ye Qiu walked around Theobald slowly, from the first team to the gate, and then to the youth training camp. , and finally back to Central Lake.

At this time, it was basically dark, but he was still sitting in the gazebo in the middle of the central lake.

It's a bit cold, but the surroundings are very quiet at this time. Although there are neon street lights in the training base, many of the beautiful scenery during the day are now blurred and merged into the darkness, but it gives Ye Qiu the feeling But completely different.

I don't know since when, Ye Qiu has become more and more appreciative of the tranquility of being alone.

But in many cases, Ye Qiu was not the only one who left late alone.

"When I saw your car, I knew you were probably here!" Mauro Tassotti appeared by the lake with a smile, walked along the only passage, and walked up to the gazebo in the middle of the lake. Are you planning to leave?"

"Aren't you too?" Ye Qiu replied with a smile.

Mauro Tassotti smiled slightly, "I'm busy, but you're wandering around."

Ye Qiu was silent, it was hard for him to tell others why he liked to wander around Theobalderry more and more, it was a very special feeling, just like a father, looking at his children every day, No matter how you look at it, you will not feel bored, and even every time you look at it carefully, you will have a very different feeling, and you will even continue to discover some details that you usually ignore.

Ye Qiu asked himself that he is not a person who likes to hurt the spring and the autumn, and he is not the kind of person who is particularly rich in emotion, but sometimes he feels that he seems to be paying more and more attention to things that were difficult to arouse when he was young. Pay attention to something.

It seems that if it was a few years ago, he would definitely not be able to be like this now. After training, he would not go home for dinner, but just wander around in the training base. He would feel that it was a pain in the ass.

"I still remember that in my first year in Ajax, I discovered a very interesting thing!" Ye Qiu still sat in the gazebo without moving, but with a seemingly amused, but In fact, he took a lot of thought to savor the tone, "I found that Mr. Van Prager, the chairman of Ajax at the time, would be at the De Tokmoorster training base after every training session. Walk around, look around."

"At that time, I felt very strange, because it was dark and there was no one inside. Why did he go? What did he look at?"

Ye Qiu's words aroused Mauro Tassotti's interest, "You mean, like an old man in his 60s, you start to think about the past easily? Start to immerse yourself in your memories In all its splendor?"

Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head, "No, I seldom think about these things when I'm spreading out, even football. My whole heart feels at peace.”

After hearing this, Mauro Tassotti seemed to understand a little bit, "You said that, it reminds me of a very interesting thing, that is, not long after the start of my career, I had my own set House, that was the first time I used my own money to choose the house I like and live with the person I love."

"At that time, I often walked around the house and looked around, because that feeling was like a process of getting familiar with and understanding everything I created and owned. It was hard to describe in words, but I really felt that , that feeling is great!"

Ye Qiu nodded this time, "It's kind of like that feeling, as if when I'm leaving, I always think about whether there is any place that is not good enough, or something that is unsatisfactory, because everything here Everything here, every plant and every tree here, even every inch of the land here belongs to us Tottenham Hotspur, and it is also created by me and everyone."

"Then congratulations, you really own Tottenham Hotspur!" Mauro Tassotti said with a smile.

Ye Qiu was taken aback, but didn't realize what it meant.

"Not only do you have it legally, you also have it emotionally!" Mauro Tassotti explained.

Ye Qiu shook his head and smiled after hearing this, "It's a strange feeling, isn't it? I've never been a very possessive person, but over the years, especially in the past two years, I have this feeling about the team. It's getting stronger and stronger."

"Maybe, that's because in the past, you thought and looked at everything about the team more from the perspective of a head coach, which would give you a kind of isolation, as if you didn't fully own Tottenham Hotspur. , you will have the illusion that you only own the competitive field, and the commercial field is all handed over to others."

"However, as you get closer to retirement, you look at the ball more and more with the eyes and heights of a club owner, so you will naturally feel that more and more, and I think it is a thing. Good thing."

After a pause, Mauro Tassotti said with a smile: "You mentioned Van Praag, to be honest, in my eyes, he is one of the greatest presidents in the history of Ajax, not even at all. Don’t lose to his father, because you know that taking down a country is not the most difficult thing, the most difficult thing is not only stabilizing the country, but also bringing revival when the country is in turmoil.”

"At this point, I think Van Prager has indeed done a very good job, but his fate is not good. When he encountered the Bosman Act, a piece of paper completely destroyed his life's hard work, and what should have belonged to him. honor and affirmation.”

After hearing this, Ye Qiu looked at Mauro Tassotti with admiration.

"Don't look at me with such eyes. As you said, the ability of a head coach is not only determined by football, but more by analogy. Therefore, in the past few years, I have also read and thought about it!"

After finishing speaking, Mauro Tassotti and Ye Qiu both laughed.

"What about Berlusconi?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

Mauro Tassotti smiled reluctantly, "He is also a very good chairman, but you know, he will never love a team like you, like Van Prager, and even some At that time, I was thinking, does he really love AC Milan? Or, what he loves is the benefits and reputation that he can give him after loving AC Milan?"

Ye Qiu laughed helplessly after hearing this, "Emotions are always the most complicated!"

Mauro Tassotti shrugged, saying that he didn't understand this thing either.

"By the way, what are you doing so late?" Ye Qiu asked in turn.

In fact, Ye Qiu can tell without guessing that Mauro Tassotti is basically the last to leave every day and the first to come to Theobald. Now he is more and more like a head coach. The only difference That is, he hasn't been converted yet.

"I'm watching some videos of Bayern Munich's games this season, and I'm watching some videos of Guardiola's time in Barcelona!" Mauro Tassotti said it quite logically.

Yesterday, the results of the draw for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League came out. Tottenham Hotspur, who maintained a complete victory in the Premier League, met the Bundesliga class bully, and Bayern Munich, which currently maintains a winning streak. Fans all over the world were amazed, thinking that this would be an earth-shattering duel.

Especially when Ye Qiu, the world's most famous marshal, meets the talented young marshal Guardiola, this is simply a drama where sparks hit the earth.

And the head coach studies the opponent's game video, which is really nothing to write about. The head coaches all over the world are like this. Even Bielsa, who is known as a lunatic, can watch the game video every day without doing other things. Nittles is also known as a video maniac.

It's just that although Mauro Tassotti is not the head coach yet, he has actually assumed the role of head coach.

"What do you gain?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

Mauro Tassotti chuckled, "Is this a test for me?"

Ye Qiu was blunt, and nodded directly, "At least, you have to show me your hand!"

Mauro Tassotti laughed, but stopped soon. After thinking for a while, he said: "I think we can think about this problem in two directions. The first is Guardiola. I feel that he has never been good at using players that do not match his tactical philosophy, and it can even be said that he will not use them at all!"

After hearing this, Ye Qiu smiled and nodded, "Let's hear it!"

"When I was in Barcelona, ​​there were such players in the Barcelona team at that time, such as Seydu Keita, but he couldn't use this player well. In the Barcelona team, Guardiola used it best Yes, in fact, it is Xavi, Iniesta and others, and Fabregas left later, and he can’t use it well.”

"I think it has a lot to do with his character!" Mauro Tassotti analyzed.

Ye Qiu understands this better than Mauro Tassotti, because he is more familiar with Guardiola and understands the Spaniard better.

Or it should be said that Guardiola is actually a person who likes to be sad and sad. He is very sensitive and delicate to feelings. This may be related to him as a Spaniard, especially in Catalonia. people have a certain relationship.

Therefore, on the football field, his style of playing football or his style of coaching has an atmosphere similar to that of an artist, but many people have never thought that artists are often not ordinary people. It's a pervert, so Guardiola is also more extreme in terms of emotions.

On the tactical level, he is very conservative, and he is eager to kill all possible crises.

Some people say that Benitez and Mourinho regard players as robots, so why not Guardiola?
In Ye Qiu's previous life, Guardiola didn't use Yaya Toure well, but he preferred Busquets because the latter was more stable than the former, and Guardiola couldn't use Ibrahimovic well because The emergence of the Swedish center makes Barcelona more likely to make mistakes.

"Bayern Munich's midfield is very interesting today. Guardiola gave up Gustavo and arranged for Ram to play as a midfielder during the injury of Piggy Schweinsteiger, but after Schweinsteiger came back After playing a few games, many people began to dispute, that is, in Guardiola's system, Schweinsteiger or Lahm, who is more suitable as a defensive midfielder."

Schweinsteiger is a player from the wing. He has good skills at his feet, can control and pass, but his playing style and characteristics have never been the type that is very stable and minimizes mistakes. On the contrary, he belongs to the kind of players who are bolder, more flexible, and more adaptable, and such players often represent mistakes.

"According to the data I got, so far Schweinsteiger has lost the ball 1 times per game on average, while Ram only has 1 times!" Mauro? Tassotti seemed confident.

The so-called loss of the ball does not refer to a pass error, but refers to the success of being intercepted by the opponent while controlling the ball.

Ye Qiu has always felt that football games are always a combination of contradictions, taking risks is equal to making mistakes, and not taking risks is often boring and mechanical, so Tottenham Hotspur players often take risks, but Ye Qiu advocates minimizing the number of players in the game. There was a mistake in a key position, so the midfielder position is so important, and Matic was even used to replace Pirlo.

Matic will also cause Tottenham to lose the ball, but he will hardly let the opponent steal the ball from his feet. Strong defensive and coverage capabilities, coupled with the team's overall operating mechanism, so this is not a problem.

Schweinsteiger's problem is not like this. The nature of his turnovers per game is more fatal than those of Matic and Lahm, because he prefers to take the ball forward in many cases. This is It is closely related to his playing style over the years. He used to be a full-back.

Just imagine, a key defensive midfielder, in the process of driving the ball forward, has a high chance of being intercepted, because all evidence shows that the longer the ball is at the feet, the more likely it is to be intercepted. The bigger it is, so the current midfielders basically play the ball quickly, but Schweinsteiger likes to push the ball forward.

In Heynckes' time, this was not a problem because there were defensive players like Gustavo behind him, but in Guardiola's time, this problem was very serious, because Guardiola emphasized extreme possession tactics, So it is basically impossible for him to allow such a hidden danger to exist in his team.

It's like in Ye Qiu's previous life, when Guardiola coached Barcelona, ​​he won Yaya Toure and started Busquets.

Schweinsteiger is actually a bit like Barcelona's Yaya Touré.

In the past year, Ye Qiu has become more and more aware of the tactical trend of the next few years, that is, when the ball possession style becomes more and more popular, many teams that cannot play ball possession tactics, then quickly Play through the midfield and create as much threat up front as possible.

This is actually a tradition in the history of tactics. The safest defense is to keep the ball as far away from our goal as possible.

Therefore, the current situation of Tottenham Hotspur is very clear. When I encounter a team with strong ball possession ability, I adopt high-intensity pressing tactics, pass the midfield quickly, pass the ball to the front field, and then pass the front field. The cooperation of the players on the field creates a threat. Conversely, if the opponent cannot control the ball, then I will boldly take the initiative and crush you.

This is a very flexible and efficient mechanism.

"What else?" Ye Qiu was very satisfied with Mauro Tassotti's analysis this time, very satisfied.

The reason why many rookie coaches in the Champions League make mistakes is actually because they have not understood the real core essence of the Champions League knockout match, which is the confrontation between people, not football!

The reason why the Champions League is developing more and more rapidly is that it started with the reform of the knockout game, and this reform itself is a kind of effect that caters to people's hearts and magnifies the confrontation between people.

As the saying goes, fighting with others is a lot of fun, this is the truth!
"I think that after Guardiola took over Bayern Munich, he encountered a very critical and critical problem, that is, Bayern Munich is a Bundesliga team, not a La Liga team, and they must continue to adopt possession tactics. With that set of foundations, the players are not enough at the technical level, so it will take a while to transform."

"More importantly, in terms of pressing and pressing in the midfield, Barcelona has its own system. Bayern Munich is not bad. Since Hitzfeld, Bayern Munich are good in defense and pressing, but there is no way. Achieve the organic combination of offense and defense that Barcelona had at its peak."

In this regard, Barcelona is actually doing the best, even better than Tottenham Hotspur, because the latter has to adapt to the Premier League, and at the same time, other factors such as height and body must be considered. At least Ye Qiu has no plans to leave. To be as extreme as Barcelona, ​​so in this respect, Barcelona is the best.

But that was tailor-made for Barcelona's possession tactics, which Bayern Munich couldn't have.

"When Guardiola first arrived and came to Bayern Munich with the success of Barcelona, ​​the safest and safest way was to copy Barcelona's set. I think Guardiola's training is also quite good, so Bayern Munich seem to be transitioning quite well now, but between possession and pressing, they don't mix well."

In fact, it’s okay if the combination is not good. Just like Dortmund and Atletico Madrid, they gave up possession of the ball and adopted oppressive and pressing tactics. They are not well organized, but they have to sacrifice players and use more running and physical fitness Consumption to make up for this deficiency.

This is Guardiola's first season. It is simply impossible for him to turn Bayern Munich into a second Barcelona team as soon as he arrives. He can achieve such progress and degree in the first season and build the team. He has become a proactive ball-handling style, and he is so eye-catching, which is already quite successful.

In the Bundesliga, or when encountering some weak teams, Bayern Munich can completely crush their opponents, because their strength is also quite good and their tactical system is also very strong.

But if it is against a strong opponent, it is difficult to say. For example, Bayern Munich encountered Liverpool in the knockout round of [-], and the result was very embarrassing. Although they narrowly won, Guardiola's team did not play what they wanted at all. Good tactics.

After hearing Mauro Tassotti's analysis, Ye Qiu chuckled, "Bayern Munich's current situation is just like Tottenham Hotspur next season. It is worth learning from and learning lessons from!"

Ye Qiu will retire next season. Judging from the current team's results, Tottenham Hotspur have at least won the double this season, which is quite successful. So Mauro Tassotti will It will be like Guardiola who took over Bayern Munich from Heynckes, what Guardiola has now, Mauro Tassotti will face next season.

There is a saying that people have short-term worries without long-term considerations, and Ye Qiu must remind Mauro Tassotti of this.

But there are also differences. For example, many of Ye Qiu's signings this season were hand-picked by Mauro Tassotti. This is a special treatment that Guardiola does not have.

"Mauro, for the two games against Bayern Munich, you will be fully responsible for the targeted tactical arrangements and drills!"

When Mauro Tassotti heard this, he was stunned.
