The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 496 The King of the World
In Munich, Tottenham Hotspur, who played more than half of the games off the bench, failed to bring back a victory from the away game. The two sides finally drew 0:0, and neither of them could take advantage of the other side.

This draw also allowed Klinsmann's team to successfully get the second place in the group and successfully qualify.

Although they failed to beat Bayern Munich in the away game, Tottenham Hotspur did not try their best. Everyone saw that Tottenham Hotspur was concentrating all their strength on this weekend's main game against Manchester United at home, but it was obvious , Ferguson learned the experience and lessons of the Community Shield Cup, and mainly defended at White Hart Lane.

Ferguson replaced Gary Neville on the right with Wes Brown in this game, but the two sides of Tottenham Hotspur still played quite alive, and Manchester United suffered a tragic loss in this game. Tottenham Hotspur bombed indiscriminately, but Van der Sar's performance helped Manchester United win a 0-0 game at White Hart Lane abruptly.

In this game, Tottenham Hotspur even pushed Manchester United's shots to only a pitiful six, but they got a total of [-] shots, of which there were at least four very good chances to score, but none of them Blocked by Van der Sar.

So much so that at the post-match press conference, Ye Qiu shook his head and sighed bitterly, saying that it was not Manchester United that blocked Tottenham Hotspur's winning streak, but the one standing in front of Manchester United's goal line, named Edwin Fan. Desa man.

"I don't know why Manchester United are still hesitant to renew the contract with Van der Sar. From my personal point of view, this is definitely an insult to Van der Sar, because he is the only one in this Manchester United team. He has made at least four world-class saves in this game, without him, Manchester United must not be laughing now!"

Ferguson agreed with Ye Qiu's teasing words. He also believed that Van der Sar was indeed a vital member of Manchester United and urged the management to complete the contract renewal negotiations as soon as possible. Dickey is Manchester United's most important player this season.

Cristiano Ronaldo is indeed Manchester United's most dazzling star, but since the operation this season, his recovery has not been very satisfactory, and Ferguson has also begun to consciously look for a new set of offensive routines to avoid the attack on Cristiano Ronaldo. • Reliance on Ronaldo.

And when the reporters at the scene asked about Ye Qiu, Van der Sar himself mentioned many times that it was Ye Qiu who made him return to Ajax and regain his new life. Now, Tottenham Hotspur also has a Petr Cech was shortlisted for the European Ballon d'Or, so they hoped to know from Ye Qiu who was better in his eyes?

Ye Qiu was blunt, "From the current point of view, I think Van der Sar is even better, because he has become a master!"

Everyone knew that Ye Qiu's statement was representative, as the mentor and coach whom both Van der Sar and Cech respected, and the players could not feel resentment towards him because of this, so he must have his reasons for saying this.

Sure enough, Ye Qiu soon explained, "The reason why I say Van der Sar has become a genius is because he is old enough, he has incomparably rich experience in the game, and the relationship between him, Ferdinand and Vidic There has been enough tacit understanding.”

"A lot of people used to think that the goalkeeper is a dissociated existence outside of tactics, so they think that the starting lineup for a game is the goalkeeper plus ten players, referred to as 1+10, but I want to say that this kind of thinking is very, very Wrong, everyone on the football field is within the tactical system!"

When talking about this, Ye Qiu tilted his head and smiled, "If you ask Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ronaldo, and the top scorers, I believe they will tell you that the goalkeeper can save you. Shoot, not because the goalkeeper is good, but because your shot is so bad!"

"I don't mean to belittle the role of the goalkeeper. I just want to emphasize that it depends on whether the goal is scored. It is not only the role of the goalkeeper, but also the defense and interference of the defender. Relying on the tacit understanding with the defenders to make predictions and reactions, so they can complete a save, so single-handedly is almost a nightmare for all goalkeepers, because in a one-on-one situation, no goalkeeper is sure to save the shot!"

When the analysis came to this point, Ye Qiu laughed again, "Then why do I admire Van der Sar so much in this game? Because his aura is too strong, we have successfully broken through Ferdinand and Vidic at least three times. defense, but lost to van der Sar in one-on-one, so I say he is the most important contributor to Manchester United's one point."

"There is no doubt that Peter is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, but I don't think he is already the top goalkeeper, because he lacks the aura and confidence required by the top goalkeeper, just like the fan of this game. Like Desar, an aura of whoever dares to enter my defense zone, I will kill him!"

"On a technical level, Peter is the most perfect goalkeeper I have ever coached. There is no one. Van der Sar has a weakness, but Peter does not. He is a perfect penalty area goalkeeper. He has the perfect goalkeeper's body proportions. But the reaction and movement speed are not lost to any world-class goalkeeper, and the continuous saving ability is also the world's top level."

"Technology, ball handling, attacking, etc., he is very, very good. When he first came to the Premier League, his right foot was a bit weak, but now his right foot is also very good. He has almost no flaws. With his height I have only seen one goalkeeper of this level, Buffon in Juventus, and Iker Casillas is also technically perfect, but his body is a bit lacking."

"Peter has reached a stage where he must complete his transformation. His skills have reached the peak, but his psychological quality and spiritual strength are far from enough. He needs to show his aura of a strong goalkeeper on the court. Take the initiative to command your teammates, control your own area, and use your actions to tell your teammates and enemies that the restricted area is under my rule, and anyone who enters this area must obey me!"

"If he gets to this point, he will be the best goalkeeper in the world, a dominant goalkeeper!"

After everyone heard this, they thought it was a bit funny. After all, Ye Qiu actually wanted to use Van der Sar to motivate Petr Cech.

Cech has kept four clean sheets in the Premier League since playing Fulham and everyone is convinced that a clean sheet Tottenham will be the best in the world team, because they have unparalleled offensive power.

What Ye Qiu said is not unreasonable. Cech is indeed perfect technically, but he is indeed poor in aura. Sometimes goalkeepers, especially Premier League goalkeepers, if you are not ruthless, you will really suffer. .

As Alan Hansen once said, the injury of the British goalkeeper is a continuation of the dressing room tradition, because the British believe that if football is timid, it loses its original charm.

The same reason is the youth training in England. Their coaches always tell young people that if your clothes are still clean after nine or 10 minutes of the game, it proves that you are not qualified.

These two remarks actually represent the traditional characteristics of English football. To put it bluntly, it is called emphasizing fighting and physical confrontation. To put it bluntly, it is aggressive and ruthless. You are too weak, and opponents will greet you with the soles of their feet anytime and anywhere. .

That's why Ye Qiu said this on purpose. He thinks Cech is fine now, but he lacks aura and the kind of dominance that a top goalkeeper should have. Yes, it seems that the Lion King Kahn, Buffon, Casillas and others are all goalkeepers of this type.

Regarding what Ye Qiu said at the post-match press conference, Cech said in a subsequent media interview arranged by the club that the head coach had communicated with him on this issue, and he was very grateful to Ye Qiu for his support. His supervision and guidance.

"It has been the third season since I came to the Premier League. I feel that I am in a very ideal competitive state, and I feel that my cooperation with the teammates in front of me is becoming more and more tacit, so I believe that I can do what the head coach said. As said, perform better and take more responsibility!"

When Tottenham Hotspur suffered a 0-0 draw with Manchester United, many people in the outside world still felt that Tottenham Hotspur's state seemed to have declined after entering December, especially in recent rounds. down, but the performance is not very good.

But more people still feel that the reason for Tottenham Hotspur's slump is mainly due to their insistence on multi-line battles. Although Ye Qiu's rotation system is not bad, it involves the problems of several core players. In rotation, he appears to be cautious, so multi-line combat still has an impact on the team.

After playing Manchester United, the team took a break and took Qatar Airways to fly from London to Tokyo in Asia. The whole journey lasted [-] hours. When the team arrived at Narita Airport in Tokyo, there were thousands of enthusiastic people. fans came to Narita Airport to meet Tottenham Hotspur.

In order to take care of the emotions of the fans, Tottenham Hotspur signed autographs and group photos for these fans who came to the scene at Narita Airport.

What Ye Qiu didn't expect was that as a Chinese, he had many fans in Japan, and even though he had an extremely bad impression of Japan, it was only for Japanese politicians, and he didn't have any hatred for ordinary Japanese. Because he feels that the government of his home country is doing the right thing, and politicians should not be equated with the people.

He also hopes to boycott Japanese products, but he will not boycott them blindly, as if he has no objection to Tottenham Hotspur's cooperation with Japanese companies to make money from Japanese people. The reason is very simple. No harm in Tottenham.

Sometimes Ye Qiu thinks that boycotting Japanese products should not be a blind act, and should not be boycotted purely for the sake of boycotting, because we have to be very serious about distinguishing our own strengths and weaknesses, and learn from others' strengths to make up for it. One's own shortcomings are blindly resisted regardless of whether it is good or bad. How is that different from the seclusion of the country in the Qing Dynasty?
In his previous life, Ye Qiu also advocated boycotting Japanese products, but in this life, he has read a lot of books, understood a lot of truths, and tried to think about some issues by himself. He felt that if he really wanted his country to be strong, then he should not Reject anything that is more advanced than yourself, no matter if it is Japanese or otherwise, and try to absorb their experience and strengths, and develop your own weaknesses. When one day, my things are better than yours, then there is no need to resist.

In other words, suppose you boycott Japanese products and bankrupt Japanese companies, but immediately Korean companies come and American companies come, and your domestic products are still not competitive. Standing still, it will not do us any good.

You have to be strong to strike iron. Ye Qiu feels that the secretary's words are on point, but there are still many people who don't understand. Independent thinking, because it is really easy to rely on the media to rely on a certain person, but the difficult thing is to think independently.

Arriving in Yokohama from Tokyo, the team checked into the hotel arranged by the organizing committee, and then Ye Qiu went to the pre-match press conference.

At this press conference, some Japanese media asked about Tottenham Hotspur's first match opponent, Gamba Osaka. When they wanted to know whether Ye Qiu would go all out, Ye Qiu said with a smile, Tottenham Hotspur is going all out for every game, but at the same time he also answered questions from other reporters, saying that Tottenham Hotspur's goal is the championship.

"Yes, we want to win the championship, but it's really not easy because a lot of us are jet-lagged!"

The club previously disclosed through its official website that after arriving in Japan, the team's biggest enemy is not the opponents on the field, but fatigue and jet lag, because the players will have very little sleep time.

"We came to Japan with only one purpose, to win the championship, otherwise, I don't know what we are doing here!" Ye Qiu expressed his strong confidence in whether the team has the confidence to win the championship.

At 12:16 on the evening of December 19th, Tottenham Hotspur's first game against Gamba Osaka was played at the Yokohama National Stadium. out.

The goalkeeper is Cech, the defense is Gareth Bale, Ziglinski, Thiago Silva and Alves, the midfielder is Beckham, Yaya Toure and Fabregas, The front trident is Ribery, Van Persie and Messi.

This is also the tacit understanding of the private communication before the FIFA, hoping that Tottenham Hotspur can play with the full main lineup.

The team's opening game was unsatisfactory and a bit passive. The Gamba Osaka team even played a small-scale cooperation in front of Tottenham Hotspur. Knowing that in Ye Qiu's eyes, how does Gamba Osaka's small-scale cooperation compare to Tottenham Hotspur's cooperation?
But soon, Tottenham Hotspur let them fully see what is called an exquisite small-scale pass and cut cooperation.

Fabregas, Yaya Toure, and Alves played consecutive two-on-one cooperation in a small area on the right side of the midfield, completely knocking Gamba Osaka's defensive players to the ground, and then Fabregas Messi passed the ball to Messi. The Argentine dribbled the ball from the right and cut inside. The team's goal, 1:0!

Afterwards, Tottenham Hotspur continued to play strong offenses. First, they took advantage of a corner kick and Ziglinski scored with a header. Then Gareth Bale stepped in and rushed into the penalty area. Beckham passed the overhead ball into the penalty area. , Gareth Bell volleyed directly after stopping the ball in the chest, 3:0!

Before the end of the first half, it was Messi and Cesc Fabregas who hit the wall consecutively. Messi passed into the penalty area, and Beckham then inserted a header and hit it, 4:0!

Fighting again in the second half, Tottenham Hotspur made another victory. Gareth Bale made a forced breakthrough from the left and then made an emergency stop and knocked back to Ribery. Throwing it to the unguarded back point Messi, the Argentine made a push shot, 5:0!

It was almost a one-sided massacre. The Gamba Osaka team could hardly stop Tottenham Hotspur's powerful offensive. The commentator's ridicule of Tottenham Hotspur just now was more like a slap in the face. .

Even though Ye Qiu replaced Franck Ribery, Beckham and other players and replaced them with young players, he still firmly grasped the situation of the game. At the end of the second half, Gareth Bale and Kava Nidu scored successively and finally helped the team defeat Gamba Osaka 7:0 at Yokohama National Stadium!

Defeating the Japanese team by a large score, Tottenham Hotspur not only made a splash in Japan, but also aroused huge repercussions in the country, and was highly praised in European football, but Tottenham Hotspur still did not make adjustments Jet lag, because after the finals, the team will return to Europe and have to continue to experience jet lag.

Three days later, the team faced its final opponent, Ecuador's Universidad de Quito, at Yokohama National Stadium.

From the start of the Toyota Cup to the current World Club Championships, South American teams have always been the number one opponents of the Champions League champions, so Tottenham Hotspur still sent their main players to play in this game. The team definitely hopes to win a championship trophy, and the strength of the two sides is indeed not at the same level.

In the end, Tottenham Hotspur beat the University of Quito 2-0 and successfully won the World Club Championship!

And Messi, who has performed well in two consecutive rounds, won the MVP of the World Club and also received a car seat prize sponsored by Toyota. He is proud of the team's performance.

Not only him, but the players, the coaching staff and all the Tottenham Hotspur fans around the world are proud of the team being the king of the world in Japan.

This battle not only won the crown of the king of the world and a huge bonus, but also helped the team further establish its status as a wealthy family in Asia and laid a solid foundation.

Always remember that professional football is much more than football!
