The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 442 The Last Goal Carnival in 2007

Ye Qiu once heard people say that if the legendary German striker Gerd Müller was born in the world football around 2010, he would be able to score [-] goals in a single season, and this sentence has been praised by many people affim.

But Ye Qiu thinks this kind of assumption is completely unnecessary, because the people who say such things don't understand modern football at all.

If you carefully analyze Gerd Muller's era, you will find that he and Beckenbauer are of the same era. Both of them have created brilliance in Bayern Munich and the German national team. If you are familiar with Beckenbauer Everyone knows that German football at that time was an era that countless people rushed to study and discuss.

The representative teams of Total Defense in the 70s were the Netherlands and Germany. Among them, Germany was famous for its free agents, and the representative was Beckenbauer. It is known for its sexual style of play, and even now, Germany advocates strict integrity.

So in Ye Qiu's previous life, he didn't like Loew very much, because he felt that the head coach of the German national team seemed to have modernized German football and seemed to keep up with the trend, but in fact he changed course and he gave up. He has abandoned the holistic style of play that Germany has insisted on for many years. His football looks beautiful, but it is actually a castle in the air. It is unreliable at critical moments, because he has not figured out what the fundamental core of modern football is.

Integralization does not mean that if you play beautiful passes and catches, and play a pleasing offense, it is called modernization, it is integration.

The German national team's running without the ball is deeply rooted. Before Loew, dating back to Beckenbauer's time, German football has always advocated running without the ball, so Ye Qiu has always felt that the most promising player in the world will be able to play again. It is the German national team and clubs who play Total Football, because it is in their blood.

What is running without the ball?And how about running without the ball?

That is a feeling, but if you use the simplest and most direct way, then look at the running distance!

Although there may be some water in the running distance, such as some bad useless running, at least this is a more intuitive way to compare the strength of running without the ball, and if we analyze Le It is not difficult to find that every time they win a game, they run without the ball to overwhelm their opponents, and every time they lose, they almost fall on running without the ball.

Why is this happening?

Lacking the soul of unified thinking, blindly integrate for the sake of integration, cooperate for the sake of cooperation!
When Ye Qiu asked Thiago Silva and Kompany, which offensive method is the most difficult for defensive players to defend against?

That is to constantly pull the opponent's defense line through unremitting running without the ball. This kind of offense is the most difficult to defend.

The reason why Drogba is so difficult to guard is because he keeps running throughout the game, left, center, right, even retreating, he keeps running, you can guard him for an hour, but as long as you relax In 1 minute, he can create a threat to you.

Also, many people say that modern central defenders do not have enough concentration and mental concentration. In fact, it is not the player's problem, but when you face a group of players who keep running in front of you all day long. When it comes to offensive players, who can guarantee that they can make the best and most appropriate response every time?Who can guarantee that they can block each other every time?

Why did the high center striker withdraw from the stage of history?Even Ye Qiu dared to assert that central defenders with slow turning speed, weak explosive power, and inflexible bodies will definitely withdraw from the stage of history, because it will be difficult for them to keep up with the requirements of running without the ball.

"The development trend of modern football will no longer be one-on-one, but pulling and penetrating, constantly creating tension by running without the ball, and completing passing and receiving penetration by pulling out of the gap. Finally, when the opportunity arises, directly by A certain player in the team to complete the final blow!"

"But running without the ball is not pure running, but a running that is full of confusion and deception, as if Van Persie suddenly ran to the side to get the ball, where is he going to get the ball? Wrong, he wanted to pull out the central defender and let Ribery cut into the middle to attack the opponent's space."

"Similarly, we can often see that after Messi gets the ball from the wing, he passes it back to Alves, but he himself chooses to run to the center or directly to the bottom line. What is his purpose? The gap that Alves made and plugged in."

"This is the case in the local area, and then expand from the local area to the overall situation, as if we often raid a certain wing, press the opponent to play, and then suddenly pass the ball, transfer the ball to the other side, and then grab the opponent to move the defense line It is also a kind of confusion to launch an attack directly.”

Following Ye Qiu's in-depth analysis and elaboration, Thiago Silva and Kompany were full of surprises, because they had never overlooked these issues from such a high altitude, and they even I look at the current football issues from the tactical perspective I have accepted since I was a child.

Ye Qiu talked a lot, but the more he talked, the more he couldn't stop, because he found that he had too many ideas to instill in the two central defenders, so he said again: "Then, for the modern football tactical system Central defender, what is the most demanding thing?"

Thiago Silva thought for a while, then looked at Kompany who was also thinking, and tried to ask: "Predictive?"

Ye Qiu pointed at Thiago Silva with a smile, and praised: "Very correct!" He really felt that he was right. At least this Brazilian central defender has a strong understanding.

"The prediction of the ball path and the possible situation are the most demanding links for the future central defender. It seems that we often talk about Cannavaro. What do you think is the most precious thing about Cannavaro? What? It lies in his defense around the front! The biggest test for a player in defense around the front is anticipation!"

"But the defense around the front is only part of it. I discussed with Mauro Tassotti. We both feel that cutting and intercepting will become the most important means of defense in the future, and the most important thing about cutting and intercepting is to cut the opponent's passing route. And to intercept, this is a kind of active defense, and the defense around the front is one of the ways of expression."

After hearing this, Thiago Silva and Kompany finally understood why Ye Qiu said just now that physical strength confrontation is not the point, but to ask them to watch more game videos, obviously hoping that they can improve their physical strength. ability in this regard.

"Because the offensive team moves at high speed on the court, as a defensive team, it is best to be able to keep up with the opponent in terms of mobility, so there are certain requirements for players' explosive power and flexibility. The ball receiving system is getting tighter, the opponent's targeted defense is getting stronger and stronger, and the ball control system, especially the core of ball control, will become more and more backward, and even dragged from the current defensive midfielder to the center back position."

In fact, in 2013 when Ye Qiu crossed, central defenders had already been included in the ball-holding system, and even played a very important role, so central defenders who can hold the ball and play the ball are the future the trend of.

Don't look at Hangeland's steady performance now, but his ability to hold and deliver the ball is not strong. The reason why Mike Dawson is not liked by Ye Qiu is because he can't integrate into the team's overall ball control system Among them, Thiago Silva and Kompany are the central defender combination that Ye Qiu places high hopes on in the future.

Of course, Ye Qiu can't guarantee whether these two players will be able to play well, and he can't guarantee whether the young players in the team or some players from other leagues will be better than them, but for the time being, he The two central defenders have the most high hopes.

Because in the overall tactical trend, the position of the central defender is very important, because the defender is the weakest area on the field to be oppressed and pressed by the opponent, and if the central defender in the middle can share the next part of the responsibility of the current organizational midfielder, it is inevitable. It will effectively guide the team's entire ball possession and passing system to become smoother and more threatening.

Of course, Ye Qiu is also very clear about one thing, that is, for the time being, the Premier League does not have the environment of La Liga, so he has no way to transform Harvey Martinez into a central defender like Bielsa, nor can he like Barcelona. Transform Mascherano into a central defender, because the Premier League does not have the environment of La Liga, and the Premier League has its own unique characteristics.

As for Yaya Toure, if it is a Yaya Toure who doesn't like to play from the back, Ye Qiu will definitely consider transforming him into a central defender, but the problem is that this kid has a strong desire to attack, and it is a bit uncomfortable to play as a midfielder now. Reliable, if he is really asked to play central defender, wouldn't that be his own death?

"Every word I said today is my understanding of football. I also believe that in the next few years, the development trend of football will definitely be like this. Therefore, I believe that you should be very clear about what you should do. the way."

After a pause, Ye Qiu said again: "Also, don't be afraid of making mistakes, try more, because only through practice and trying, you will know whether it is right or wrong, and then you will know whether your idea is feasible. At the very least, I think we Tottenham Hotspur are in the Premier League, and we have enough strength and capital for you to try!"

"Of course, if the performance is not good, you still have to play as substitutes!"

With the current team's offensive power, conceding a goal is not terrible for Tottenham as long as it is not in a major strong-for-all dialogue, and Ye Qiu's last sentence also put pressure on them, that is, if they want to If you are the main force, you have to make fewer mistakes in the trial, especially the kind of mistakes that bring the team to lose points!
Ye Qiu's tolerance for making mistakes is not limited to central defenders, fullbacks, midfielders, and forwards. He allows them to make bold attempts and innovations. For example, he encourages Fabregas to pass more defensive passes. Many of the ball blocking, and even some of the Trident's coordination routines this season, were improvised on the spot, and they even missed some goals because of this.

But Ye Qiu gave tolerance, but he has a standard, that is, don't make the same mistake for the second time or even the third time, otherwise it is not an attempt, but a stupid mistake!
This year's Christmas was depressed by the team's loss to Arsenal, and the players were generally not very relaxed.

Perhaps seeing this atmosphere, Ye Qiu simply invited the relatives of the players to hold a Christmas carnival together at Theobald Training Base. Everyone came up with a celebratory program. Everyone celebrated at Theobald Training Facility.

One of the very interesting links is to make up and dress up the children of several players in the team, and even some players who are more relaxed. For this reason, Tottenham Hotspur also specially invited two professional makeup artists at a high price. These people are either made up as dwarves with axes, or lively elves, as well as Santa Claus, and other characters from various cartoons and movies, among which Ribery is disguised as zombie.

The club also specially arranged for people to take videos and photos, and put them on the Internet and mobile APP to interact with fans. Ribery's zombie photo was praised for its resemblance, and he won the Best Makeup Award and a generous prize .

The interaction in Tottenham Hotspur's Christmas carnival not only attracted media attention and reports, but also made Tottenham Hotspur fans feel a little bit more relaxed, because judging from this move, The atmosphere inside the team is good.

After Christmas, the team sat at the White Hart Lane on the 26th and defeated the visiting Fulham 5:1, which greatly wiped out the grievances of the previous loss to Arsenal.

Van Persie scored a goal for the team in the 27th minute of the first half, and then Fabregas scored another goal. After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Fulham pulled back a goal, but soon, Van Persie, Ribe Li and Yaya Toure, who came off the bench, scored successively and finally beat Fulham 5-1 at White Hart Lane.

After the game, Ye Qiu was very satisfied with the team's performance in this game. He believed that the loss to Arsenal would not affect the team's internal atmosphere, "Because all of us know very well that we will Continuous progress, our strength is getting stronger and stronger, and we are full of confidence in the future!"

On the 29th, Tottenham Hotspur once again ushered in Reading at home. This time, Ye Qiu made appropriate adjustments. Arshavin and Carroll were both eligible to start, and the team also began to adjust their tactics. 4231, to cope with multi-line operations, and at the same time stimulate the strength of Arshavin's free frontcourt.

The Russians did not disappoint Ye Qiu. It was difficult for Reading away to take advantage of Tottenham Hotspur, who was skilled at handling the ball. In just 7 minutes of the opening, Arshavin scored the first goal for Tottenham Hotspur. , 1:0, but in the first half Reading equalized the score in the 16th minute.

It wasn't until the 53rd minute of the second half that Tottenham Hotspur scored another victory from Arshavin and once again exceeded the score.

Afterwards, Ye Qiu replaced Messi, who was not performing very well in this game, with Cavani. Unexpectedly, this move completely activated the vitality of Tottenham Hotspur's frontcourt. Carroll's impact, Cavani did not hesitate The physical running and pulling gave Arshavin a lot of room to play behind him.

In the 72nd minute, it was Arshavin's goal again, staged a hat-trick, helping the team lead Reading 3:1.

Then Yaya Toure and Carroll also scored goals successively, and Arshavin himself scored again in the 83rd minute, staged a big four, helping the team finally beat the visiting Reading 6:2 .

The two big victories fully demonstrated Tottenham Hotspur's offensive ability. Although there are still some problems in defense, the team's offense has amazed everyone. They scored [-] goals in two games. This kind of offensive ability is second to none, let alone in the Premier League, even in Europe.

Some British media even called these two games Tottenham Hotspur's last goal spree in 2007!
From the point of view of goals, Tottenham Hotspur is still the team with the most goals in Europe this season, but from the point of view of offensive power, although Manchester United and Barcelona are not as good as Tottenham Hotspur in terms of offensive power. Not weak at all.

Another obvious difference is that Tottenham Hotspur scored more goals on weak teams. Of course, there was also a 5:1 victory over Arsenal, but whether it was against Manchester United, Liverpool Still Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur have not shown their strong offensive power.

This is why many people think that Tottenham Hotspur's strong offense is just an illusion.

Two days later, Tottenham Hotspur beat Aston Villa 3-0 away with goals from Hangeland, Vargas and Ribéry, and walked out of the post-Christmas season with a perfect record. The three rounds of the devil's schedule, and Tottenham Hotspur also relied on this wave of three consecutive victories to once again reach the top four in the league.

Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea all performed well in the Christmas schedule. Arsenal had an impressive record of 21 wins, 48 draws and [-] loss in [-] league rounds, with [-] points, leading the Premier League standings, while Manchester United It ranks second in the Premier League standings with [-] points.

After the coaching change, they performed well. Chelsea, whose team had stabilized again, quickly found the feeling of scoring points. They were 44 points away from the third place. It was given to Arsenal, and the gap was widened. Currently, they have 43 wins, four draws and three losses, with [-] points in one less game, ranking fourth in the group.

Following Tottenham Hotspur is Liverpool, who also played 21 rounds, with 41 points. Everton, Aston Villa and Manchester City all have 36 points.

It is not difficult to see from the ranking of the standings that the first group army is gradually widening the gap with the next few teams, and even though Manchester City is amazing after the start, but the team is not strong enough, and the final ranking is also falling all the way. Now Not to mention that Eriksson wants to realize his rhetoric at the beginning of the season to compete for the Champions League, it would be nice to be able to qualify for the UEFA Cup.

The outside world regards Tottenham Hotspur's performance so far this season as pretty good, but there are also many fans who are dissatisfied, mainly because they gave the team too much expectation at the beginning of the season. The team is still ranked fourth, even though they missed a round, but this ranking still failed to give them a satisfactory answer.

When Ye Qiu was interviewed by the media, he said that he was personally satisfied with the team's current ranking, but he believed that the team would definitely be able to move forward.

"Yes, we are only one point away from Chelsea who are third in the league, and we have one game less, but I will not stare at Chelsea, because our goal is to catch up with Arsenal and Manchester United, our goal this season is to continue to break through Team results."

As for the Tottenham Hotspur fans' desire to win the championship, Ye Qiu did not easily shout out.

"I can understand the thoughts of the fans. We have never won the Premier League title, and we have only two titles in England's top league, but that is nearly half a century away from us. I can understand their desire and pursuit of the title. , so I also ask all Tottenham Hotspur fans to believe that we will definitely get it in the near future!"

"But now, we have to catch up with the top teams step by step and beat our opponents game after game!"
