The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 452
Ye Qiu has always felt that the initiative is very important in a football game.

As long as the initiative can be firmly held in your hands, then you can use a more self-styled way to attack the opponent, to pull, to penetrate, and as your opponent, he must always maintain Concentrate tremblingly to deal with your offense and pull penetration.

Anyone can imagine that in the Premier League, even if the pace slows down, the average running time of each player in a game is about ten kilometers. The so-called slow pace is compared to other fast-paced games of.

If you use the image point of comparison again, compared with the domestic Chinese Super League, the slowest game in the Premier League is obviously faster than the Super League, so you let the best players in the Super League play in the Premier League, even if it is the slowest game. It is difficult for him to adapt to the slow game. He will tell you that the pace is too fast and his physical fitness cannot bear it.

The fast pace puts higher demands on the concentration of the players, and it requires a player to concentrate on playing every minute and defusing every attack of the opponent, which consumes a lot of energy. Even in many cases, as long as you appear a little Some trance may lead to loopholes in the team, and then become the focus of the opponent's target.

And all the head coaches must admit one thing, that is, it is impossible for any team to guarantee 90 minutes of concentration. Every player in every game will have more or less problems of one kind or another, regardless Whether it is offense or defense, it is true, because this is something that no one can avoid.

Ye Qiu likes the initiative because he knows very well that with the initiative in his hands, even if the team makes a mistake, the consequences of the mistake can be minimized. This is the same reason that Barcelona likes to control the ball, but Ye Qiu Not that extreme.

Grant's tactic in this game is to retreat and hoard heavy troops in the midfield. Is this effective?

Yes, Ye Qiu promised that Tottenham Hotspur's attack would be smoother without the group of muscular men in the midfield!
But isn't this the way to ensure the stability of the defense?
Ye Qiu could only shake his head, even God doesn't know about this kind of thing, who knows?

Therefore, he has always asked the players to be patient, and create opportunities through active running, pulling, passing and receiving, and even one-on-one breakthroughs to mobilize and pull the opponent's defense, because as long as they keep pulling, even if it is an iron wall There will be cracks.

Pass forward, no chance, knock back, transfer, pass forward again, no chance, knock back, transfer again..
The whole process is a bit boring, but Tottenham Hotspur are still constantly and patiently looking for opportunities, because they have to learn to adapt to facing different opponents, especially some opponents who adopt such extreme tactics like Chelsea. .

The fans in the stands counted the time, a little impatiently, but the players on the court felt that the time passed quickly, because for them in the game, every minute and every second was very tight and terrible, So how long has passed, they don't know, the only thought in their minds is to patiently look for opportunities and prepare patiently.

When your opponent makes a mistake, pounce on them immediately and tear them to pieces!
Sometimes, mistakes don’t have to be fatal. On the contrary, most mistakes are small mistakes, such as a pass with a little less force. This is a very typical mistake that often occurs in the game, especially in the Offensive players.

But if unfortunately, when he appears on a defensive player, the consequences will be completely different.

It seems that this time, after receiving Ballack's pass, Mikel immediately wanted to pass it out to find Ashley Cole, but the pass was a bit light and the strength was not very good. Rolling slowly against the turf.

Ashley? Cole was able to grab the ball before Messi, but it was this step, this little bit of strength, that allowed Messi, who came out of the oblique stab, to grab the first.

A small player must know how to use his body well. After Messi slashed out, he blocked Ashley Cole with his back very cleverly. After stopping the ball, he always controlled the ball under his feet and rushed forward. , the advantage is that Ashley Cole has no chance to steal the ball, but in this way, the speed will not be fast, and Ashley Cole is tightly sticking to him.

Messi suddenly hit his heel and knocked the ball back, and he quickly pulled to the right.

Alves has been behind Messi for a long time. The two have been cooperating for so long, and the tacit understanding has already been very good. After stopping the ball, he immediately cut to the center, because he guessed the move from Messi to the right. Out of the intention of the Argentines.

Alves' inward cut immediately drove the three Chelsea players, left back Ashley Cole, Ballack and Mikel who returned to defense. Weiss, and after Van Persie came out, it naturally led to Carvalho and Terry.

The whole process is very long if you describe it in words, but it actually happened within a second or two on the court. The fans can see it clearly from the live camera, and the fans in the stands can also see it clearly. Even if there are some sharp-eyed fans on the scene, they can see that Ribery has always been entangled with Ferreira in the top area of ​​​​the penalty area.

Fabregas appeared behind Mikel and Ballack. Although he was still nearly 30 meters away from the goal, if the ball reached his feet, as long as a through ball was passed, it could be passed into the penalty area, to Van Persie and Franck Ribery's feet.

But this time Alves chose not to do so because he saw Van Persie gesturing for the ball and the ball went past Ballack and the German couldn't intercept it at all because the ball was so fast, but Carvalho immediately realized Threatening, he rushed towards Van Persie immediately, but Van Persie took a step towards the ball, pushed Alves' pass with his right foot ahead of time, and sent it to the right.

Alves and Van Persie, as well as Cesc Fabregas, all sprinted towards the box after Van Persie passed the ball. This sudden acceleration of the sprint surprised Chelsea's defenders because they hadn't figured it out yet. What kind of offensive line the opponent wants to take, can only take countermeasures passively.

Messi was unguarded, and quickly dribbled the ball into the penalty area from the right. At this time, Ashley Cole reacted and got close immediately, but he didn't dare to make any moves, because in the penalty area, he had to worry about penalty kicks all the time. , so only card slots can be taken.

But Messi had expected his move a long time ago, a skillful fake move, after pulling half a body to the baseline, he directly made a low flat ball, the ball was almost close to the front line of the small penalty area and quickly passed from the right Roll to the left.

Terry almost caught up with the ball, but he was still half a second late, and at this time, Ribery rushed up from behind quickly, blocked Ferreira with his body, the ball came in front of him, and he Almost without any pressure from the defenders, the right foot swept the ball into the goal.

After the ball was in the net, Cudicini fell to the ground and made a save, but what was the use?

"Ribery! Ribery!!! Ribery!!!"

"Frank" the live announcer at White Hart Lane chanted loudly.

".. Ribéry!!!!" All the Tottenham Hotspur fans responded in unison!

The French scarred face quickly rushed to the corner, and the surrounding teammates rushed up one after another, congratulating the French one by one, because he is the top scorer of Tottenham Hotspur this season.

After Ruud van Nistelrooy left, even Ye Qiu didn't know who could become Ruud van Nistelrooy's successor and become Tottenham Hotspur's top scorer, but through the warm-up match and many games at the beginning of the season Look, Franck Ribery is more capable of seizing opportunities. He can always appear in the key position in the trident combination.

Van Persie also scored a lot of goals. He should be the most suitable candidate, but his position is very erratic, and the center has always been the focus of defense. On the contrary, Ribery always slanted his left rib into the penalty area, and Van Persie interspersed in the center. And the response, as well as Messi's ball and diagonal pass on the right, made Ribery a duck to water.

In Ye Qiu's view, it's not about how strong Ribery's scoring ability is, but that Tottenham Hotspur's ability to create scoring opportunities is too strong, just like the ball just now, as long as you can run to the position , as long as you are a professional player, even if you are a defender, you can easily score goals.

Of course, the reason why Tottenham Hotspur's trident is strong is that even if it is the leading scorer, Ribery's assists are very good. This season, the number of assists in the Premier League has reached [-] times, only ranking in the top three. After defeating Fabregas and Messi, it even surpassed Van Persie's eleven times.

But Van Persie is the team's second scorer, and his role in the Trident is more about pulling and making the ball, so his number of goals and assists cannot reflect his role, just like the one just now. This time, if there is no Van Persie, it is difficult to achieve a sudden effect.

The entire White Hart Lane stadium was completely activated by Franck Ribery's goal. All Tottenham Hotspur fans cheered enthusiastically for the team and cheered for the players, even though it was already the 42nd time of the first half. Minutes away.

"Look, I said, you can't let Tottenham Hotspur's rhythm, you have to disrupt their rhythm, disturb their momentum, that fool didn't understand this at all, this game will definitely Let him suffer!" Mourinho was also very unhappy watching from the stands, because he always felt that Tottenham Hotspur scored Chelsea's goal, and he himself felt ashamed.

"Tottenham Hotspur fans at White Hart Lane, let our arch-rivals, Chelsea, figure out who owns the stadium right now, okay?"

Following this appeal from the live announcer, there was a burst of overwhelming cheers in the audience. That momentum, that momentum, simply shook the sky down!
The live announcer was poached by Peter Kenyon himself after he took the stage. I heard that he has a lot of experience in English football and is good at enlivening the atmosphere of the fans on the scene. He can also be responsible for explaining and introducing the game process to the fans during the game, and at the same time inciting And inspire fans to create momentum and put pressure on opponents.

Many times in the past, this kind of thing was done by fan organizations, but now the team wants to unify them and create a home atmosphere that belongs to Tottenham Hotspur. It wants to make White Hart Lane so that all opponents are frightened The home of the devil.

Therefore, even when the game enters halftime and the players are warming up on the court, the live radio is still playing some exciting and explosive songs, all of which are well-known songs that can arouse the enthusiasm of the fans, and almost all of them are rock Yes, try to keep the enthusiasm of the fans and the atmosphere of the game during the 15-minute intermission as much as possible.

As the intermission entered, the fans in the stands were also in a commotion. Some of them ran to the bathroom, some went shopping, and some gathered together in twos and threes to discuss something, and so on.

As long as you have something to do, 15 minutes actually flies by, and by the time the radio comes on again, everyone hastened back to their seats for the second half of the game.

At the beginning of the second half, Tottenham Hotspur consciously carried out a round of attack. Taking advantage of the start, taking advantage of Chelsea's unstable foothold, they quickly attacked their defense line and created several dangerous situations. Nam Hotspur's offensive was prepared after the opening, and Tottenham Hotspur's offensive was firmly defended.

But when Tottenham Hotspur consciously slowed down the offensive, making everyone think that it was coming to an end, Tottenham Hotspur's offense once again made Chelsea's mistakes.

Ribery tried to break through Ferreira on the left, but the sticky Portuguese didn't give him a chance. He chose to knock back to Modric. After the Croatian got the ball, he saw Ribery raising his hand for the ball. , and he has moved quickly between Ferreira and Terry, so Modric grabbed the ball before Makelele and passed the ball to Ribery's feet.

The quality of this pass is not very good. If a through ball can be passed, Ribéry's short-distance starting speed can quickly tear apart Terry and Ferreira's defense, but Modric chooses to pass. Foot ball.

After Ribery got the ball, he was squeezed by Ferreira behind him, and Terry in front of him quickly blocked between him and the goal. Ribery's shot was blocked by Terry with his body and bounced back.

The French rushed up quickly, grabbed the ball before Terry, and kicked the ball back to the midfield. Modric got the ball again and passed it across to Fabregas. The Spaniard tried to pick the ball and wanted to Pick a pass to Messi.

But Carvalho pushed the ball out with his body, but because he took off in a fast retreat, he didn't use his strength when he cleared the siege. At the same time, his body lost his balance after landing and fell to the ground.

The ball wobbled and fell in front of Van Persie. The Dutchman didn't take off, but straightened his chest and stopped, and stopped the ball directly to his right. Mikel realized the danger and immediately made a block Action, because he thought that Van Persie was going to kick directly, but he didn't expect that Van Persie kicked the ball to the left with his right foot, the ball turned in one direction and slid to the left, then he adjusted the center of gravity of his body, swung his left foot, Gently pump.

The angle of this volley shot slightly farther than the penalty point is very tricky, but it is not a high ball, but a low ball, and at this time Cudicini's position is a bit to the right, obviously to defend Messi just now , so at this time Van Persie hit a lower left corner with a rebound.

Cudicini couldn't do anything about such a shot. He even just reacted when the ball went into the goal, 2:0!

The best thing about the whole scoring process is that after Van Persie stopped the ball, his body barely moved, he shook Mikel away, and then directly kicked up a series of movements, indescribably coherent and calm, with a taste of elegance .

"This goal reminds me of Arsenal's Bergkamp!" the game commentator shouted loudly.

"2:0, Tottenham Hotspur scored the second goal of the game in the 61st minute. This is also the goal that sentenced Chelsea to death. I believe that Grant should become more serious next time. Be proactive, at least now he should try his best to get an away goal and hope for the next round."

According to the rules of the Champions League knockout round, if the total score is the same, it depends on the away goal, so sometimes an away goal is even more important than a goal, so the commentator’s words are not wrong. A wise choice.

Grant seemed to have accepted this idea, and immediately began to prepare for the substitution. Kalu went out to prepare for the warm-up, while Ye Qiu immediately arranged for Arbeloa and Beckham to warm up. Targeted substitution adjustments, and this is also a smoke bomb.

Grant once suffered from the loss of substitutions. At that time, he was afraid and temporarily changed his decision to substitute. This made him receive unprecedented criticism after the game, so this time he did not believe in evil, and directly replaced Kalu. Mikel, but also Malouda to warm up, ready to play.

Ye Qiu replaced Alves with Arbeloa and Modric with Beckham.

Beckham reappeared on the field, which immediately excited the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stands. The fans who had been prepared for a long time pulled out banners and slogans, tens of thousands Several fans chanted Beckham's name, welcoming the English superstar back to the game.

After four months, the return of Beckham has made Tottenham fans more hopeful for the future, because no one will forget that in the second half of last season, it was Beckham's joining that completely reversed the Tottenham hotspur. The situation at Turnham Hotspur.

The teammates also came over one by one, hugged Beckham, and encouraged and supported him, hoping that he can adjust his state as soon as possible, play his own strength as soon as possible, and help the team defeat the opponent.

Unexpectedly, after the substitution, Chelsea launched a massive counterattack, while Tottenham Hotspur counterattacked defensively and let Chelsea press out.

In the 78th minute, Beckham received a counter-knock from Fabregas and launched a counterattack with a long pass. Van Persie quickly inserted and got rid of Terry after getting the ball. Messi dribbled the ball Inserting into the penalty area, Carvalho pulled Messi down from behind, and the referee blew his whistle directly!
