The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 602 Super Bobby
If it does not rain in London in October, the daytime temperature is generally around [-] degrees, which is not too cold. It will be slightly cooler at night, about [-] degrees, and the wind will be relatively strong, so it is a bit cold.

Bobby Harms was obviously not very lucky. The day he arrived in London, it had just rained and was a bit cold.

Fortunately, he was used to the weather in Amsterdam, so he had a higher immunity to the ghost weather in London, and he didn't suffer from the cold. Roland had already driven to Heathrow Airport and waited for him.

For Bobby Harms, Ye Qiu has always been reluctant to let him retire like this. This Dutch old man has decades of experience in player training, and he has trained players including Cruyff, World superstars such as Van Basten, Rijkaard, Bergkamp, ​​Kluivert, Seedorf and Davis.

Ye Qiu really felt that Bobby Hames was not only the treasure of Ajax, but also not only the treasure of Dutch football, but also the treasure in the eyes of all football players in the world.

An old family is like a treasure. This is not too much for Bobby Harms.

Of course, Super Bobby has been able to serve as the chief assistant coach at Ajax in the past few decades. He has experienced the replacement of world famous coaches including Michels, Cruyff and Van Gaal. With Ajax from the trough to the peak, and then from the peak to the trough, his position has never changed, not only by his prestige and qualifications.

Who would believe that he could reach the level of Super Bobby just by relying on prestige and qualifications?
So, ever since Ye Qiu bought Tottenham Hotspur, he has been doing everything possible to dig this treasure to Tottenham Hotspur, but it didn't take long for Super Bobby to announce his retirement at Ajax Yes, but in the end Ye Qiu persuaded Super Bobby to let him play the role of a consultant with his strong relationship and his good tongue.

Consultants, of course, ask questions.

So, after Tottenham Hotspur have just returned to the top of the Premier League standings and defeated Aston Villa 2-0 at home in the seventh round of the Premier League to continue to defend their leading position, it ushered in two weeks. On the day of the national team match, Ye Qiu took this opportunity to directly invite Super Bobby from Holland to London.

Sitting in the backseat of a loose-fitting BMW [-]-series, Bobby Harms browsed the rapidly reversing scenery along the way. London and Amsterdam are still very different, especially when walking on the suburban ring expressway On the highway, pastures and cattle can be seen everywhere in Amsterdam, but there is basically no farming and animal husbandry in London.

"Roland, where's that coquettish red POLO you used to have?" Bobby Harms saw a Volkswagen POLO running by on the road, and suddenly remembered that Ye Qiu had teased Roland back then, so he asked strangely. .

Fatty Luo now has status and status, and at the same time is very famous. He is a person who can make British journalists laugh for a long time with a single word. When he heard Bobby? His face was full of waterfall sweat, "I stayed at home in Amsterdam, and I don't know if I can still drive it!"

"Oh!" Bobby Harms said, but quickly added, "At first I thought that car was pretty!"

These words almost made Fatty Luo slam on the brakes. He really wanted to ask, who back then agreed with that bastard Ye Qiu, saying that it was not good for a big man to drive a coquettish red car, and that the car was too flamboyant. so?
"Bobby, if you come to London this time, you can stay for a few more days!" Fatty Luo was disgusted by others, and he will definitely come back after being disgusted. This guy never suffers from his words.

Hearing what Fatty Luo said, Bobby Harms laughed dryly. Of course he knew what Fatty Luo was thinking. , In the end, he agreed to be a consultant for Lao Shizi, but he asked me a fart, I can't live through this day!
In fact, this is not really what Bobby Harms really thought. Although he announced his retirement, his home is not far from De Tokmoorster. He often goes to De Tokomoorster to watch the players' training. My heart is also itchy, and I still go up to say a few words and give some pointers from time to time. Eriksson last season and Lucas Moura are not less under his advice.

Of course, there is also a reason why Ye Qiu asked him to take care of his own people.

Ye Qiu invited him to be this consultant, and he was actually very tempted in his heart. You must know that the quality of Tottenham Hotspur players has been well-known in the past few years. As a player who has dedicated his life to football For human beings, the biggest temptation is to be able to train more and more outstanding superstars.

Football is constantly developing. Many people like to evaluate players across the ages. For example, some people like to compare Van Persie with Van Basten, and some like to compare Messi with Maradona. This is completely meaningless. Because Van Persie and Messi and others have achieved today's achievements on the successful shoulders of Van Basten and Maradona.

Just imagine, if the club they are in did not learn from the experience and lessons of training Van Basten and Maradona back then, now they can train Van Persie and Messi?
Just like now, Bobby Harms saw a group of children playing football on the grass beside the road, and a referee was whistling. It looked more like a joyful game , but it can be seen that these children who may only be six or seven years old are very familiar with the rules, and some are still imitating the movements of the stars.

This is a kind of inheritance and accumulation. If someone thinks that the descendants who have inherited the legacy of the predecessors can feel proud and complacent that they have surpassed the predecessors, then Bobby Harms can only say that this person is too good Overpowering yourself!

In the past few years, a lot of rich people have poured into the town of Tottridge, but more of them are in the further east. Ye Qiu's family has three villas nearby, and they built them around a large courtyard. Ye Qiu, his parents, his father-in-law and his mother-in-law lived opposite Wenger's house, which was closer to the west because the transportation was more convenient.

When Bobby Harms arrived at Ye Qiu's villa, he seemed to be able to smell the aroma of the food.

Gluttony, this must be one of the biggest weaknesses for Bobby Harms, who is quite old. Whenever he thinks about it afterwards, he feels that this problem makes him late, but every time before the event, he can’t resist it. The temptation of food.

"Ha, Bobby!" When they went upstairs from the garage, Ye Qiu had already greeted them.

"Grandpa Bobby!" Little Huang Rong chased after her, this little girl could vaguely see the appearance of a beauty.

"Grandpa Bobby!" Xiao Yechen also chased after her, calling like her sister.

Little Huang Rong stopped immediately, this little girl put her fists on her hips, pointed at her younger brother and said, "Mom said, you can't call me an old name, otherwise Grandpa Bobby will be angry!"

Bobby Harms saw the little grown-up girl's appearance, walked over with a laugh, and picked up the two little devils from left to right. His own grandchildren are all grown up now, and he also They didn't even kiss anymore, but Xiao Huangrong and Xiao Yechen are making out with him now, and Ye Qiu and Huang Chu are also very close to him.

A group of people walked to the living room lively, and Huang Chu, who was busy in the kitchen, also came out to meet Bobby Hams, and dragged away the two mischievous little devils reluctantly, so that Ye Qiu and Zao Zao The head assistant coach Mauro Tassotti, as well as Rick Link and Roland, who arrived, sat down and chatted with Bobby Harms.

Today's temperature is relatively cold, so I turned on the heating at home, and it was warm and comfortable, so Bobby Harms took off the down jacket outside, hung it on the hanger on the side of the living room, and shook his head mockingly , "When people are old, they are afraid of the cold!"

He often said this. When Ye Qiu was in Ajax, almost every time the weather turned cold, he would wrap himself up in three layers, and kept saying that the elderly were afraid of Cold or something.

After hearing this, everyone just smiled. Bobby Hams is in good health, but he is fatter and has higher blood pressure. Unfortunately, he passed away in 2000, but Ye Qiu's arrival changed everything. He stayed to assist the young Ye Qiu as the team's chief assistant coach in 2009, and he has always paid great attention to taking care of his body these years.

"Bobby, you finally came to London this time, so you should stay longer!" Ye Qiu's words were exactly the same as what Roland said before. Needless to say, these two guys who are full of bad things must have discussed it before. alright.

Bobby Harms took out a glasses cloth from his pocket, took off his glasses, and wiped the mirror, "About Messi?"

Ye Qiu mentioned this matter to Bobby Harms before. In Ye Qiu's plan, Messi should play the biggest role in the middle, but if he follows the style of Barcelona in his previous life, it will be inevitable in the end. It will turn into tilting Tottenham Hotspur's tactics towards Messi, and Messi himself will be off the ball and transformed into a scorer.

It's hard to say whether this transformation is good or not. After all, if you take more balls, you are more likely to be injured. If you become a scorer without the ball, you can protect yourself from injury to the greatest extent. But the problem is, in this way, The rest of the team needs to serve you, which means you end up going back to the old ways.

"This season, I plan to put Cavani at the top, let him attack and disrupt the opponent's defense, and let Messi and Ribery insert behind to start the attack. So far, the effect can only be regarded as ok, but still It can't meet our requirements." Ye Qiu didn't hide the problems he encountered, and even the reason why he brought in Raul actually had this reason in mind.

Many people say that Raul is not suitable to play as a single striker, but that depends on the tactics and environment.

In the current situation where Tottenham Hotspur have Ribery and Messi on the left and right, Raul plays in the middle, cruising in the gap between the opponent's central defender and the midfielder, which can give full play to Raul's characteristics , and stimulate the attacking power of Tottenham Hotspur's wings, but Raul's age and his speed and body will be a big problem.

Cavani is Ye Qiu's main force. He acts as a center forward. In addition to attacking the opponent's defense, he creates scoring opportunities for himself, and also creates space around him, allowing Ribery, Messi and Fabregas and others went to drill.

But the Uruguayan center, like Ibrahimovic, Drogba and other powerful centers, has a big problem, that is, they can have an advantage in the frontcourt, but basically this advantage can only be played in the first three times. Once the ball returns to the ground, no matter whether it is Ibrahimovic, Drogba or Cavani, they lose their threat.

"To be honest, I have always felt that selling Falcao and keeping Cavani is a very correct decision!" Bobby Harms put on his glasses after wiping them, and sighed slowly Well, everything in this world is changing dynamically. When Ye Qiu used Van Persie, he activated Franck Ribery who was plugged in later.

But the problem now is that Cavani is not Van Persie.

Bobby Hams still remembers that when Ye Qiu was discussing players with him not long ago, he said something that even Bobby Hams found very interesting. He felt that the current players are actually two big type.

One is how to help the team win the ball, and the other is how to help the team turn the ball into a threat.

Many people are wondering, why did Barcelona introduce Van Persie at such a high price?

Because Van Persie is in front, not only can he score, but he can also effectively use his skills, passing, and running awareness to help the team turn the ball into a threat to the greatest extent, which is very important for him. For Barcelona, ​​which has a lot of ball possession, it is the most needed player.

Ibrahimovic and Drogba are another type, they can help the team get more possession.

How to do it?

Through their tactical fulcrum role in the frontcourt, they cleverly use their physical fitness to receive long passes from the backcourt, and have sufficient technical skills to ensure that they can hold the ball after receiving it and pass it out.

In Ye Qiu's previous life, Ibrahimovic failed to join Barcelona because Barcelona didn't need him to increase the ball possession rate, but hoped that he could help the team to make the time of ball possession more efficient. More threatening, which Ibrahimovic is not a strong suit.

Falcao is a player who can help the team turn the ball into a threat, but he does it by scoring goals. Unlike Cavani, he can also score goals, but he can also help the team in the front line. The field wins more ball possession and creates space.

The problem for Tottenham Hotspur now is how to use the space and ball possession created by Cavani to turn it into a threat.

So, here lies the weirdness and fun of tactics. Two seemingly similar players can actually bring about completely different tactical effects, and may even change everything about Tottenham Hotspur.

When Ye Qiu mentioned the current problems of Tottenham Hotspur, Bobby Harms knew his mission.

He has to say that Ye Qiu has great ambitions. He not only wants to cultivate Messi into a frontcourt player who can help the team win possession of the ball, but also hopes to make him an all-around player who can turn possession into a threat. type of player, but this kind of all-around is not the kind of all-roundness of Drogba, Van Persie and Ibrahimovic, but the kind of all-roundness that is the best in both aspects.

Messi and Franck Ribery, even Neymar, Hazard and other players, belong to the type with strong one-on-one personal ability. They also need to take the ball head-on and face the defense to play their own advantages and characteristics. So Ye Qiu tried the no-forward tactics on Raul at the beginning of the season, using Raul's left and right movement and retreating to catch the ball, destroying the opponent's defensive arrangement, and creating gaps behind and on both sides of the defender.

This is an inevitability. As long as the defense moves, adjusts and changes, gaps and loopholes will inevitably appear.

To give a simple example, when you walk forward, can you take care of what is behind you?When you move to the left, do you care about the right side?Conversely, when you go left and back, you can't take care of other directions.

Offensive tactics put a lot of emphasis on pulling and interspersing. A very important reason is that the opportunity to attack often occurs when the defensive formation changes, because as long as you move, there will inevitably be gaps and loopholes.

Bobby Harms has also observed the transformation of Tottenham Hotspur in the past two seasons. The reason why their defense has improved is actually to pull back the defensive line that used to press forward and pass through the striker when defending. With the return of the midfielder, it forms a front and rear flank attack, and hits the opponent like a sandwich biscuit.

This kind of defense has many advantages. First of all, it likes to face teams with star players like Real Madrid, and it also likes to face teams with slow midfielders like Barcelona and Arsenal. However, it is very difficult to encounter a team like Manchester United that is balanced and comprehensive, has strong tactical execution, and pays attention to overall cooperation.

In other words, who is not difficult to meet a team like Manchester United now?
Of course, in Ye Qiu's definition, the reason why there is no effective way to defend against Manchester United is because Tottenham Hotspur is not fast enough, not because the players are not fast enough, but because the team's overall offense and defense are not fast enough. It is a kind of quickness achieved by the teamwork of eleven players on the team, while the former is the quickness of individual players, which is different.

From this point of view, Raul is definitely not suitable for the future of Tottenham Hotspur, and can only be temporarily used as a buffer. Tactics, that's why Ye Qiu needed Messi.

In Ajax, Ye Qiu has heard many examples of Bobby Hames training players. For example, when the Finnish star Litmanen first arrived at Ajax, this invincible star in Finland, He played badly at Ajax, but it was Bobby Hames who specially opened a small stove for him, specially training his ability to hold the ball and shooting skills, just one season, Litmanen in the second year Immediately became Ajax's leading scorer.

There are many, many examples of the same thing. For example, when Bobby Hames enlightened Abidal with just a few words, Ye Qiu believed that Bobby Hames must have a way to make Messi and Ribery in the same place. The ability to read the game and the insight into the game space are enlightened.

If even Bobby Harms can't do it, then Ye Qiu really needs to think about adjusting his tactical thinking.
