The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 369

Although the White Hart Lane stadium looks a bit old from the outside, the stands are not very good, and the facilities are not perfect, but the home team's locker room is very high-end, and it can even be said to not lose to any team's home locker room.

But, the visiting team's locker room is even worse, it's so shabby that you can hardly find anything extra.

This is what all teams do, the home team locker room is always the best, the away team locker room, who cares?
The walls of the home team’s locker room at White Hart Lane are all covered with wooden panels, and the top is an integrated ceiling. When you enter from the door, you will see the tactical board and the formation board. There is a large TV in the middle of the two boards, and there is a multimedia control area next to it. , which is used by the head coach to explain tactics to the players in the locker room.

The decoration of the dressing room adopts an integral layout, all of which are made of wooden panels, and the wardrobes and lockers are also built-in style. A white tile will be sealed between two adjacent wardrobes, reaching the ceiling to show There is a difference, and there is a stainless steel pendant on the top of each wardrobe, which is similar to the towels and clothes hanging in the bathroom.

Long before the players enter the locker room, their jerseys and shorts are hung in front of the closet where they are located by special staff. After the players come in, they either take a rest, or go to the back to wipe off their sweat, and then Qiqi sat in front of her wardrobe, and many of them were even naked.

The locker room is sacred, no one can come in and out casually, so it is not uncommon to be naked in the locker room.

Ye Qiu followed the players into the locker room and looked at the round clock hanging on the wall, which showed the time.

"How to fight, I believe everyone knows it in their hearts, I don't need to say more, I will emphasize one point now!"

After Ye Qiu walked in, he casually placed the notepad in his hand under the tactical board, and sat in front of the TV facing the players, looking solemn, "I have to tell everyone, this will be a big battle. A very difficult game because we are now facing the strongest team in the Premier League!"

"Chelsea is a team with very rich game experience. They are very mature and steady, without any major weaknesses or flaws, but this does not mean that they are invincible. As long as we play our rhythm, we have every hope of defeating them." They, but if we let them lead our pace, then we have no chance of winning!"

Ye Qiu's words were very loud in the silent locker room. All the players sat in front of the jerseys, raised their heads, and listened quietly. Many people even followed Ye Qiu's words silently, obviously to remember , and keep it in mind.

"Chelsea likes to play defensively and counterattack. We must be patient when we play against such a team. Concentrate, but don't get offended by them, don't get influenced by them."

Ye Qiu kept emphasizing one point over and over again, that is, neither lose patience nor get angry.

Young players are a group that is difficult to control. Once they play smoothly or go crazy, they can score any score. They can accompany you to attack for nine or 10 minutes, and do everything possible to break through the opponent's defense. Goal, but once they lose their patience and reason, the result will make you very broken.

And Ye Qiu had a premonition, especially today, he noticed that many players in the team were more emotional, especially when talking about what Mourinho said before the game, they all said that they would teach the Portuguese some lessons , From the perspective of fighting spirit, this is a good thing, but if it is not handled well, it may be a bad thing.

Isn't one of the purposes of Mourinho's remarks to make you angry, to make you angry?

"Guys, look at me, come on, look at me!"

Ye Qiu walked to the middle of the locker room and waved to the players. Ruud van Nistelrooy did not play this game. He played two full games for the Dutch national team. Ye Qiu asked him to rest, so this Ye Qiu went to Van Persie in a game.

When all the players focused their attention on him, Ye Qiu looked at them and said word for word: "They will do everything possible to stimulate and provoke you during the game, but you must not be fooled. We play like we set before the game, play our stuff, play our style, don't worry, take your time, understand?"

"Understood!" The players nodded in agreement.

"Very good, don't panic when you encounter anything, look to the sidelines, I'll just stand there!"

Tottenham's starting lineup for this game is goalkeeper peter cech, defense line abeloa, hangaland, thiago silva and alves, midfielder is david Thomas, Mascherano and Fabregas, the front trident is Ribery, Van Persie and Messi.

Chelsea's starting lineup is still 442 positions, the goalkeeper is Cudicini, the defense is Ashley Cole, Carvalho, Terry and Ferreira, and the midfielder adopts a very strange The style of play, Makelele drags behind, Ballack and Deco are in the middle, Lampard is forward, but the position is not fixed, Deco is basically in charge of organizing, Ballack also frequently advances, the double forward is Shevchen Coe and Drogba.

"There is no serious winger, how are they going to play?" Mauro Tassotti stood beside Ye Qiu and frowned when he saw Chelsea playing such a midfield. Chelsea find it difficult.

"It's very simple, keep the center and you can attack from the side!" Ye Qiu chuckled, but asked Roland to tell Messi to involve Ashley Cole more. The England left back will be Chelsea in this lineup. One of the few wing attackers.

At the same time, he also told the team not to rush forward. Seeing Chelsea's lineup, it is clear that they are waving at Tottenham Hotspur, as if telling the Tottenham players, come on, come on. , attack me!

But at this time, whoever attacks will die!
That's why Ye Qiu said before the game that this game must maintain enough patience, this will be a contest of patience and will!
"Typical Mourinho style, never risk making mistakes in important games!" Ye Qiu snorted.

With referee Webber's whistle, Chelsea took the lead to get the kick-off, and the ball was quickly passed back to the back line by Chelsea. Carvalho saw the opportunity and made a long pass directly to the front to find Drogba.

The player Hangelander does have the defects of slow turning and inflexible body, but his advantages are also very obvious, that is, he has strong frontal defense ability, excellent position sense and physical confrontation ability, and he belongs to the air bully central defender , so it is not too difficult to deal with Drogba in a fixed area, and he is firmly stuck in the position and then headers to clear the siege.

The ball fell to Davies, Davies passed it to Fabregas, who split it to the right, Messi got the ball on the right, and was about to go forward, Ballack rushed out from a diagonal thrust , directly poked the ball out of bounds, foul ball!
Alves throws the ball out of bounds, but it is not thrown to Cesc Fabregas, but to Messi. Shley Cole chased back very fast.

With an emergency stop, Alves pulled out a gap, kicked a half-high arc ball with his right foot, and went directly to the left of the goal. Ribery quickly slanted into the penalty area from the right, Obviously he wanted to grab this point, but Terry was more stable and blocked Ribery with his body until Cudicini attacked to get the ball.

The Frenchman ran for nothing, shook his head and sighed in disappointment. If his sprint speed could be faster and not be interfered by Terry, as long as the ball hits his feet, at least he can create a threat, not to mention whether the opponent dares to foul , Facing Terry with his personal ability, the chance of getting a kick is still very high.

Tottenham Hotspur launched an attack that didn't work, but instead of adopting the high defense and frontcourt pressing tactics of the past, when Chelsea was preparing to attack, they retreated slowly as a whole, obviously to let the Chelsea hit out.

This made Ye Qiu nod his head as he watched from the sidelines. This is the way to play against Chelsea. Don't rush and look for opportunities slowly.

The Tottenham Hotspur fans at White Hart Lane were very worried about this game. Even though they never doubted Ye Qiu's ability, the state of Tottenham Hotspur was indeed not good recently, and Chelsea has been the strongest team in the Premier League in the past few years, which has virtually put pressure on players and fans.

But they still cheered for the team very hard in the stands, because if you really love a team, you don’t care whether the team wins or loses, whether it wins or loses, whether it’s a low point or a peak, love is love , will not be changed by these.

Those who see the team playing beautifully, seeing the team perform well, and seeing the team buy superstars only shout for support, that is not love!
"Today, neither of the two teams seems to have the desire to take the initiative to attack. Whether it is Chelsea, which has an absolute advantage in strength, or Tottenham Hotspur, which is playing offensive football this season, they obviously have no desire to attack!" Sky TV's Commentator Andy Gray felt that such a game was not good-looking.

"But it's no wonder that Tottenham Hotspur have been in poor form recently. Although Ye Qiu's team had a 5-0 victory, it was killing newly promoted teams. So far this season, they have played three games. , One win and two losses, this result really disappointed everyone in Tottenham Hotspur, including Ye Qiu!"

"In this case, if they lose against Chelsea, Tottenham's morale will undoubtedly drop to the bottom, and the team may even enter the relegation zone as others say. .”

"As for Chelsea's approach, the reason why Mourinho's team was able to win the championship without any risk last season relied on stability. He hardly adopts too risky game strategies, so before the game He will not act rashly until he has figured out Ye Qiu's tactical thinking."

While speaking, Ballack had a chance, and after receiving the ball on the left side of the midfield, he directly passed the ball through the middle of Thiago Silva and Hangeland. Because of Drogba's pull, the center back was a bit wide, just as Ballack's through ball passed between them, and Shevchenko quickly started.

"It's dangerous, Tottenham Hotspur!!!" The live commentator exclaimed.

All the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the audience couldn't help but stood up and let out a big cry~~~~

But just when everyone's heart was about to jump out of the top of the throat, Cech suddenly abandoned the goal and attacked before Shevchenko. Loophole!
"Beautiful, Peter Cech's decisive attack resolved a very threatening attack from Chelsea!!!"

In the voice of the on-site commentator, all the Tottenham Hotspur fans gave Cech a warm applause. The Czech stood up from the ground, panting, and rushed a few steps just now, but he It was with all the strength of the whole body.

For the goalkeeper, the running distance may not be long, but the consumption in all aspects is no less than that of players in other positions, because the goalkeeper has to maintain a high degree of concentration for 10 minutes of a game, and if he does not move, he will stop. It is necessary to move the fastest, which is also a huge loss of physical energy.

Ye Qiu was also terrified watching it from the sidelines. This is what happens when you are at a disadvantage. Once there is any loophole, you may be caught by the opponent. The loophole just now is obviously the problem of the lack of coordination between the two central defenders, which caused the distance between them to be widened. .

Drogba, the center forward, is getting better and better. What makes him the most powerful is not his almost perverted body. In terms of physical strength, there is no one in this world who is taller and stronger than Drogba. Speaking of central defenders, there are more stronger than him, but why can't they guard against Drogba?
Because he is very diligent, and he is always actively running and looking for opportunities in the game, which makes his greatest tactical effect not just the frontcourt fulcrum, but his destruction of the opponent's defense, especially the two central players. The defender is definitely the most terrible torture, because you don't know where he will run in the next second and how he will attack.

Goalkeeper coach Frans Hoke ran behind the home team's goal at some point, and he spoke to the Czech after Petr Cech sent the ball, "The attack and save just now was very exciting, but you should be more proactive! "

Cech looked ahead, but he listened carefully to Frans Hawke's opinion. Although he has only come to Tottenham Hotspur not long ago, he has some training for Frans Hawke. He admires his techniques and understanding of the goalkeeper position, and he has also heard of Frans Hawke, Van der Sar, Valdes, Reina, and even Casillas of Real Madrid. The profound influence of Frans Hawke is definitely a god-level figure in the field of goalkeeper coaching.

"What do you mean?" Petr asked, but kept his eyes on the front.

"You should have reminded Thiago Silva just now. After Hangeland was pulled away, you should remind him, and Alves, that the formation should retract and move to the left. As long as you keep it compact, how can the opponent pass?" Can't pass the ball into the penalty area!" said Frans Hawke, who is best at pointing players directly during the game.

"I understand!" Peter Cech stood on the spot and jumped a few times before nodding.

"Be bold and brave. He asked me to convey the attack just now..." Frans Hawk gave a thumbs up.

Of course Cech knew that Frans Hawke was referring to Ye Qiu, so he immediately smiled happily and nodded in agreement.

But less than 2 minutes after Frans Hawke left, Chelsea launched another attack, but this time obviously failed to get a chance. Lampard directly took a long shot about 25 meters away from the goal.

This long-range shot came very suddenly. Although Cech reacted, he was not sure to hold the ball. In the end, he could only choose to lift the crossbar, allowing Chelsea to get a corner kick.

Deco set the corner kick, there are many high points in the penalty area, and Cech is communicating with Hangeland and Thiago Silva. When Deco takes the ball into the penalty area, Cech judges that the point is in In the middle, he immediately shouted loudly: "I'm coming!!"

Then I saw the Czech rush out of the small penalty area quickly, leaped high, grabbed the ball firmly with both hands, and directly intercepted the ball in midair. This decisive attack won the applause of the fans again.

Seeing Cech rushing out of the small penalty area like a god, picking the ball from mid-air with his slender hands, Mourinho on the sidelines really didn't like it, don't look at Cech in Tottenham. Spurs conceded a lot of goals, but that was because Tottenham Hotspur's defense performed poorly. In terms of goalkeeper strength, Cech is improving rapidly in almost every game.

This goalkeeper has an almost perfect body, slender and powerful arms, tall but flexible, excellent position sense and anticipation, calm mind, and quick response. These are the must-haves of a top goalkeeper Yes, and Cech is the top in these aspects, and his game concentration is very high, which is even more rare.

Maybe he was a little uncomfortable with Ye Qiu's high-post defense when he first arrived, but after the warm-up match and a few Premier League games, his performance is getting better and better.

Soon, Chelsea launched another attack. Drogba suddenly pulled to the left to meet Ashley Cole's breakthrough pass. After getting the ball, he broke through the penalty area for a cross pass. The passing reaction was not enough, which caused him to slow down a little after he quickly plugged in. He watched the ball pass in front of him.

The ball fell to the feet of Arbeloa, who made a big-footed clearance, but Terry quickly inserted it and headed it to Ballack. Ballack blocked Fabregas with his body, turned around after stopping the ball, and went straight to the goal again. A sudden long shot with one kick made a shot that was almost like a cannonball.

This time Cech reacted faster, stood firmly in his position, faced the incoming ball, hugged the ball directly, threw himself on the grass in the small penalty area, and forcibly withstood the powerful volley.

This immediately made the Czech goalkeeper win applause, but Andy Gray is not optimistic about this situation. He believes that this is the situation caused by Tottenham Hotspur's increasingly passive, because the goalkeeper often performs well. It means that the team is in a passive state of being beaten.

Didn't you say something?
This is the reason why the weak team is the goalkeeper!
