The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 598
Ye Qiu has never been a person who likes to find reasons for his mistakes and failures.

Of course, it's not because he doesn't have the ability to find reasons.

It was as if now, standing in front of the home team's dugout at White Hart Lane, if he wanted to find reasons for himself, he could find plenty of them without even thinking about them.

For example, the timing of this game is very awkward for Tottenham Hotspur, because the time is scheduled for noon.

Also, in the first round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur faced Manchester City at the White Hart Lane Stadium. This is the opening game of the Premier League.

If it is not enough, then he can find more, for example, Messi, Cavani and David Silva did not appear in the starting lineup, plus Tottenham Hotspur including Fabregas, Tia Go Silva and other international footballers who participated in the World Cup were not excited enough, which made Tottenham Hotspur's performance in this game only mediocre.

If he had to look again, then Ye Qiu would have to focus on the Manchester City player No. 25 in the green goalkeeper jersey, Joe Hart!

Although the final result of this game was 0:0, no matter from the scene, or from the data, or even from all aspects, Tottenham Hotspur definitely had a reason to win this game. Joe Hart is a very important reason for being able to beat the opponent, because he made at least eight very beautiful saves in this game, and five of them saved key must-have goals.

Ye Qiu has become used to these sold players who always act like they have been beaten when they meet their old clubs. In fact, this is a way for these players to prove their strength, because it is a bit similar to being rich and honored. Township in general.

Tottenham Hotspur have a certain impression of Joe Hart's strength. This substitute goalkeeper has always performed well inside Tottenham Hotspur, and his progress has been obvious. After switching to Manchester City, all Everyone is full of expectations for his future, but no one thought that Mancini would arrange him to replace Shay in the first round of the league.

As Andy Gray said, Tottenham Hotspur played its own characteristics and advantages to the fullest in this game. Even facing Manchester City's unbreakable dense defense, Tottenham Hotspur created All sorts of methods were used to get at least a double-digit chance.

"I believe that when BBC TV is editing the video highlights of this game, everyone will only see Tottenham Hotspur's offensive scenes, and it is difficult to see Manchester City's counterattack. This can already explain everything!"

When the game progressed to the 9th minute, Tottenham Hotspur almost broke the goal of Manchester City. Neymar made a diagonal pass from the left to the center of the penalty area. Raul pointed the ball in the opposite direction with his forehead, causing Joe? Hart jumped in the wrong direction, but after the ball bounced off the ground, it touched the left post and went out of the baseline with a slight gap.

It's just a little short, otherwise, the situation will be completely rewritten.

But 2 minutes later, Alves crossed from the right, Raul kicked directly from the center, the ball hit Hangeland's leg, rebounded to the left, Neymar hooked upside down, but this time Joe Hart did With the fastest reaction, the ball was directly confiscated.

But less than 3 minutes later, Tottenham Hotspur took a corner kick. Joe Hart abandoned the goal and beat Kompany. He slapped the ball out of the penalty area with his hand. After the ball, he volleyed directly with one foot, but it was Joe Hart who returned to the goal line in time, flew to block the ball out of the baseline, and completed a world-class save.

In the 18th minute, Tottenham opened up Manchester City's defense from the right. Cesc Fabregas got a chance and suddenly took a long shot from about 20 meters away. The ball hit the Manchester City defender. Kolo Toure's leg turned in one direction, but Joe Hart still saved the ball.

But this was only the beginning, and then Tottenham Hotspur intercepted the ball in the frontcourt. Raul took advantage of a Kolo Toure error and passed the ball to Ribéry, but the latter played on the small penalty area line. Joe Hart fell to the ground, but he still stretched out his hand and pulled the ball out of the crossbar from midair.

And Raul soon passed another wonderful pass, Neymar formed a single shot, but he was stopped by Joe Hart when he kicked the kick, and the follow-up shot was also resolved by Joe Hart.

Throughout the first half, Joe Hart was almost like an unbreakable wall, blocking Manchester City's goal firmly, despite Tottenham Hotspur's indiscriminate bombing, breaking through Manchester City again and again The defense line, but just can not break through the goal guarded by Joe? Hart.

Perhaps, the England goalkeeper performed so miraculously, not only because he was facing his old club Tottenham Hotspur, not only because he wanted to prove his strength in front of the world's number one goalkeeper Petr Cech, but also because England National team coach Fabio Capello appeared in the stands of White Hart Lane.

In this game, Tottenham Hotspur completely dominated the game, but Manchester City insisted on relying on Joe Hart and picked up a point in vain.

In addition, several signings from Manchester City also appeared on the field in this game. Aguero, van der Vaart, Kolarov and Maicon all performed relatively averagely, which is also related to their new arrivals. relationship, but the performance of Wolf King De Rossi is impressive. He sits in the midfield, defends and intercepts very well, and his contribution to the offensive end is not small.

The reason why Tottenham Hotspur won the game and did not score has something to do with the team's inability to adapt to the game at noon. In addition, many main lineups were absent, and the team's mentality was also affected, especially in the opening game. None of them worked.

In this game, Ye Qiu played a combination of Ramsey, Yaya Toure and Cesc Fabregas in the midfield, and the results were good. He completely suppressed Manchester City in the midfield, but the possession of the ball at the front of the penalty area was relatively poor. After all, Ramsey is not David Silva, and the ball control and the last pass are still not enough.

But the Welshman's scoring is very threatening. He has two very high-level shots, and his running and covering area are very large, which provides a great advantage to Tottenham Hotspur's midfield suppression. help.

In the first round of the Premier League in the new season, they were tied 0:0 by Manchester City at their home court. Tottenham Hotspur felt very depressed, especially when they had the advantage, they got a point by their opponents. It is indeed useless enough.

Compared with Tottenham Hotspur's depression and uselessness, the first round of the Premier League started one after another. The most eye-catching performance was Chelsea, which Ye Qiu was the least optimistic about before, but Ye Qiu could only say that he was half wrong.

West Bromwich Albion is a guest at Stamford Bridge. If it is the Chelsea team that appeared at Wembley Stadium a week ago, the bloomers may not be invincible in the first battle, but unfortunately, the former Chelsea midfielder Di Matt O's team encountered a comeback Cote d'Ivoire mammoth Didier Drogba.

The entire defense of West Bromwich Albion was completely messed up by Didier Drogba. The Ivorian not only performed a hat-trick, but also directly led the team to a 6-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion at home. It has become the most surprising team in the first round of the Premier League, and even many Chelsea fans are shouting the slogan of hitting the league championship.

At the same time, Manchester United was also at home. With the outstanding performance of the Trident, they defeated the visiting Newcastle United with three goals. Although the Magpies regained their face with Ibrahimovic's goal, everyone It can be seen that if Newcastle, which has reorganized its lineup, wants to form a strong fighting force, it needs to give Redknapp more time.

Liverpool faced Gunners Arsenal at Anfield, and Benitez sent his main players to play, including Juan Mata, Harvey Martinez, David Villa, Joe Cole and other players. In the first half, there was an offensive storm, which completely overwhelmed Arsenal and took a one-goal lead.

But before the end of the first half, Joe Cole received a very controversial penalty and was sent off the field with a red card. As a result, Arsenal counterattacked in the second half and equalized the score. In the end, the two sides drew 1:1, but Liverpool's overwhelming advantage in the first half was still impressive.

Another high-profile team, Ranieri's West Ham United defeated Aston Villa 3-0 away in the first round of the league and won the first game of the league. Colombian center Falcao, who switched to West Ham United at a sky-high price of 7000 million euros, scored twice in the game.

Also because Falcao scored twice to help West Ham United get three points, while Tottenham Hotspur was weak in offense and unable to score goals. As a result, after the game, many media commented on Tottenham. Tottenham felt worried about the current situation, and even believed that the reason why the team could not win was because Ye Qiu sold Falcao.

"We have never doubted Ye Qiu and his team's ability in business operations. We also have to admit that Ye Qiu and his staff are very successful in hunting down the real estate market. Lian's acquisition, but we must see that in the field of football, Tottenham Hotspur's dominance is being challenged!"

"And the fact that Tottenham has been weakened is obvious because we have noticed that in the past few seasons Tottenham have never been profitable in the transfer market and The profit of each season is basically more than tens of millions of euros, which is unique in European football."

"Perhaps, in the past three years, the two Champions League titles and two Premier League titles have made Ye Qiu and his management feel a little pretentious and self-righteous, but we must be soberly aware that the current Premier League competition is unprecedented. If Tottenham Hotspur do not introduce strong support in the transfer market as soon as possible, it will be difficult for them to guarantee their advantage in the Premier League!"

"There is another very interesting point. When Ye Qiu was interviewed by the media, he once vowed that among the competitors for the championship in the new season, only Manchester United and Liverpool did not have Chelsea. However, in the first round of the league, Chelsea won by six goals. West Bromwich Albion, this undoubtedly slapped Ye Qiu hard."

But what people didn't expect was that in the eyes of many media, there was obviously more than one slap on Ye Qiu's face.

In the second round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur still did not make much adjustments to the team's lineup. Messi and Cavani were still absent, but David Silva returned to the starting lineup, Ribe Li, Raul and Hazzard joined forces to form a trident.

This time Tottenham Hotspur beat Stoke City 3-0 in the first half with Ribery's brace and Raul's goal, winning the first game of the new season League victory.

But for the media, Tottenham Hotspur's victory obviously still can't satisfy them. The reason is very simple, there are teams that are more popular and better.

As the two hottest teams in the first round of the league, the newly promoted Blackpool beat Wigan Athletic with four goals in the first round of the league. When they came to the Emirates Stadium in the second round with great ambitions, they were brutally slaughtered by Arsenal 6:0. , Let this newly promoted team have a good experience of the true strength of the Premier League team.

But it was Chelsea who got the most limelight, and Didier Drogba who performed the hottest.

In the last round of the Cote d'Ivoire facing West Bromwich Albion, he scored a hat-trick with head kicks, but this time he didn't score himself, but staged a hat-trick of assists to help Chelsea beat Wigan Athletic 6-0 , the latter was directly kicked into the position of deputy squad leader, while Chelsea led the Premier League standings by scoring [-] goals and conceding no goals in two games.

Another glorious team in this round is the Magpies led by Ibrahimovic. Newcastle beat Aston Villa 6-0 at home. The latter's current league performance is only slightly better than Wigan Athletic. Well just a little bit.

West Ham United beat Bolton 3:1, Falcao scored in two consecutive rounds, while Manchester United drew 2:2 away at Fulham, Manchester City drew 3:3 at home with Liverpool, the Premier League has only played two rounds in the new season, but look But it was already very fierce, all fronts were in full swing, and all the strong teams showed their outstanding strength from the very beginning.

In the third round of the league, Tottenham Hotspur ushered in the unlucky Wigan Athletic. After the poor performance of the first two rounds, Wigan Athletic appeared at White Hart Lane with a defensive tactic this time, and Tottenham This time, Tottenham arranged a full main lineup to play. The main players such as Messi and Cavani all started, and they defeated Wigan Athletic 2-0 at White Hart Lane.

Tottenham Hotspur's performance is actually not bad, but the problem is that Wigan Athletic just lost to Chelsea by six goals, and now they have lost to Tottenham Hotspur by two goals. Judging from the number of goals, it seems that Tottenham Hotspur is slightly inferior, and you must know that Chelsea is playing away, while Tottenham is playing at home.

Therefore, with such an unbelievable logic, some media have deduced the conclusion that Tottenham Hotspur is not as good as Chelsea, and the Blues also won Stoke City 2-0 again this round. With three victories, [-] goals and no conceded goals, they ranked first in the Premier League standings.

Tottenham Hotspur have two wins and one tie. Although they remain unbeaten, their performance has not been very satisfactory. In addition, the goal difference is at a disadvantage, so they rank sixth in points, but this is only the third round of the league. rankings are of no use.

But in the eyes of many media, with the end of the three rounds of the Premier League, the suspension of the league, and the two-week national team match day, they need more news, so they began to hype Tottenham Hotspur. Crisis, thinking that after the team sold Falcao and Ziglinski, Ye Qiu did not use the transfer funds to strengthen the team's construction, and internal divisions had already emerged.

They even quoted some Tottenham Hotspur players who did not want to disclose their names, or according to a Tottenham Hotspur executive, etc., a lot of irresponsible remarks to criticize Tottenham Hotspur.

This is also something that can't be helped, because this is the media.

Some newspapers that have a good relationship with Tottenham Hotspur, including the Times, the Guardian and the Daily Mail, have also made clarifications, believing that the reason why Chelsea performed so well in the new season is because they met in the first three rounds. Going to the underdog has a lot to do with it, and Tottenham Hotspur have steadily scored points except for Manchester City.

"You know, this result was achieved when Messi, Cavani and other World Cup international players were absent or underperforming, and the only game where they lost points was against Manchester City, and everyone in that game Everyone thinks Tottenham Hotspur are doing really well."

"As the entire Premier League and even the entire European football team that is most affected by the World Cup, Tottenham Hotspur have performed very well so far. At least we have not been widened. Manchester United has two wins and one draw, and Ferguson has not yet arranged for Sneijder to play."

"From this point, we can see that both Ye Qiu and Ferguson adopt the same league strategy, which is to protect the World Cup international players in the opening stage and strive to usher in the state in the next period of time."

However, some media pointed their finger at Ye Qiu one after another. The Independent, which is close to Arsenal, made a special provocation, thinking that Ye Qiu has the potential to become a crow's mouth that will not lose to Pele, because he listed the favorite teams to win the championship before the season. At the time, only Manchester United was mentioned, even thinking that Chelsea and Arsenal did not have the strength to win the championship.

"Mr. Ye Qiu should really ask Mr. Ye Qiu to take a good look at the current Premier League standings. The first is Chelsea, which he thinks is the least likely team to win the championship, and the second is Arsenal. Really Glad, the Gunners haven't stepped on top of Tottenham Hotspur for a long time, it's a really good feeling to step on a deadly enemy!"

Tottenham Hotspur did not retaliate against the comments made by the outside world. This was also the consistent style of Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur. When their own condition was not very good, it was useless to say anything.

In fact, the start of the team in the league did not affect the mood of the players, because they are very clear that everything about the team is only temporary. After a period of adjustment, the team will usher in a burst , At that time, step these two mortal enemies back under their feet one by one.

The first three rounds of the Premier League are over, the UEFA Champions League group stage draw and UEFA's annual awards ceremony are finally here.
