The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 754 Dig to your heart's content!
For Tottenham Hotspur, this year's awards ceremony has both gains and losses.

The FIFA Ballon d'Or has fallen into Messi's hands for the fourth time, which has also achieved the amazing influence of the Argentine superstar, and will also push Messi's football status to a whole new level.

However, Ye Qiu lost the Coach of the Year award in the competition with Bosque. Although Ye Qiu has won it many times, but with the two most important honors of the Premier League and the Champions League , In the end, it was still unable to match Bosque's European Cup championship, which has to be said to be a pity.

Of course, Ye Qiu believes that this is not a shady scene, but more of a trade-off.

In the selection of the best team of the year, Tottenham Hotspur was also completely defeated. It changed from the past and became a bit bleak. Only three players were selected for the best team, namely left back Marcelo and right winger. Messi and center Cavani, the other positions are basically filled by La Liga players.

The goalkeeper is Iker Casillas, the defense is Marcelo, Ramos, Pique and Alves, the midfielder is Iniesta, Xavi Alonso and Xavi, and the frontcourt is Cristiano? Ronaldo, Cavani and Messi.

Among them, the outstanding performance of Spanish players is more due to their outstanding performance in the European Cup, and Alves' selection is more due to his performance in Tottenham Hotspur, so some people think that, That doesn't make Tottenham a disappointment.

After the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, the British media have written articles that Tottenham Hotspur will continue to dominate European professional football, and Messi will continue to maintain his status as a world football superstar.

Craig Brown, the number one British reporter of the Daily Mail, is very rare to write an article to comment on this incident in his column again. What is interesting is that the only two columns he has written related to football are all about Tottenham Hotspur, which makes many people wonder if he has become a loyal Tottenham Hotspur.

In his column, Craig Brown once again provided everyone with a different perspective, which is different from the perspective and views of all football professionals. He believes that Messi and Tottenham Hotspur will be difficult to be Prevent.

"I once raised a question like this with my good friend Martin Samuel. I asked, why can Tottenham Hotspur maintain such glory? On what basis is their peak empire built? ?”

"I think this is very unreasonable, because football has always been about long-term systematic management and construction, but in terms of history, the rise of Tottenham Hotspur is only less than six or seven years. Even if we add Levi’s period, it’s only a decade or so, why can we turn a team that was originally in the middle and lower reaches of England into a top-notch rich and noble family?”

"In terms of financial resources, as far as I know, Ye Qiu has always pursued healthy finances. Although Tottenham Hotspur have debts, firstly, the interest rate is extremely low, secondly, the risk is completely controllable, and they have a huge cash flow. But at the same time, they have always insisted on the construction of the salary structure for the team, so in terms of financial resources, don't compare with the Western Super League duo, even if they have no advantage over Manchester City and other teams, why can they retain players? Arsenal can't?"

"Many people like to talk about tactics, concepts, and offensive football. Let's look at it again. Barcelona has a super football concept and has persisted in this set of concepts for more than ten years. They have a tacit understanding that other teams cannot achieve. , and Real Madrid's football concept is gorgeous offensive football, the top superstars, their football is also full of charm."

"If you talk about high-post defense, it's all over the place now. Pressing and pressing in the middle and front are not new, and even one kick is nothing to show off. But why is Tottenham Hotspur so special? ? So different?"

"Haha, I'm so proud, because Martin Samuel, that damn fat man was overwhelmed by my questioning, he was speechless!"

"Yesterday, the editor-in-chief of our newspaper told me, write about Messi, and write a column for your idol, but I think, in fact, there is nothing worthy of special mention about Messi's phenomenon, which caused him to continue to write about Messi. The reason for winning the Ballon d'Or is very simple, since FIFA and French Football merged the two awards, the Golden Globe Awards pay the most attention to the reputation and influence of the players, rather than the professional performance in that year."

"From a rational point of view, Iniesta has reason to believe that there is a shady scene in it, but this is the selection rule, and everyone follows the rules, and as long as the Golden Globe Awards continue to focus on influence and ignore professional performance , then it won't be a surprise that offensive scorers continue to monopolize the title."

"If I want to say something special, I think it is the active operation of Tottenham Hotspur!"

"We must clearly know that in the current professional football world, star resources are over-concentrated, and the eyes of all fans, reporters and media are concentrated on the top teams and stars, so we see, Tottenham Hotspur casually When a player is singled out, his fame and influence are greater than that of the stars of the middle and lower teams."

"Under such circumstances, the World Player of the Year merged with the European Footballer of the Year, making the original two heavyweight individual awards combined into one, which created another concentration of resources, which led to the current situation. That is, the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker."

"The reason I mentioned Tottenham Hotspur is because I found it very interesting that their commercial department is very good at business operations. Many people mistakenly think that they pour all their resources into May. West and Ribery, this in itself makes sense, but the problem is, they forgot one thing, the radiation effect!"

"Messi and Ribéry are without a doubt the top stars of today, they are like the locomotive of Tottenham Hotspur, but the problem is, if they want to succeed, they need teammates, if they want to score goals, they need someone. Pass the ball to them, and whoever passes the ball to them will be able to take advantage of the influence and popularity of Messi and Ribery."

"So, Messi and Ribery led Cavani, Neymar, Vidal, Ramsey, Hazard, Thiago Silva, Pirlo and a group of second-tier stars, and then Using the stars of the first and second echelons to drive the stars of the third echelon makes the entire Tottenham Hotspur star system form a high-end, mid-end and low-end brand phalanx.”

"This is a very, very remarkable innovation, because when we look at Real Madrid and Manchester United, their operations in this area are still concentrated on the leading stars, so Manchester United has sold Cristiano in the past few years. After Ronaldo, brand management fell into a bottleneck, because Rooney couldn't pick up the job, the team had that kind of power, but there was nowhere to use it!"

"But Tottenham Hotspur will not have such a problem. It is foreseeable that either Messi or Ribery will leave the team. Immediately, one of the stars in the second echelon will rise rapidly and replace him, because he himself There is a solid foundation, as long as the team thinks he is suitable and devotes a lot of resources to him, then he will be able to succeed!"

"After seeing the success of ugly guys like Ronaldinho, Ribery, Drogba, etc., do some people still think that a handsome guy must be a handsome guy to be popular?"

"In Tottenham Hotspur, even the bottom players, such as the newly joined Azpilicueta, there is news that Tottenham Hotspur signed him three times in the past six months. Sponsorship contracts, two from Spain and one from Portugal, can bring Azpilicueta more than 100 million euros in revenue share a year."

"For sponsors, Azpilicueta is not as well-known as a first-line star, but his sponsorship fee is cheap, his image fits, and more importantly, they can use the Tottenham Hotspur brand, and behind the brand is Tottenham. The unique club culture of Tenham Hotspur is very self-explanatory, the value of this brand is driven by superstars such as Messi and Ribery, this is a kind of radiation!"

"The above is only on the commercial level, what about the football level?"

"Martin Samuel once said that Tottenham's football is the most resilient football in the world."

"What is flexibility?"

"First of all, he must have a very rigorous and super-strong overall concept. If it is a loose structure, it is impossible to be flexible. But at the same time, he must not be rigid. He must be flexible and have a loose degree of freedom. , can change its structure and shape according to external forces."

"Barcelona and Real Madrid represent two extreme footballs. Barcelona emphasizes super football concept and running-in degree, which is a kind of closed football, but Real Madrid is different. They emphasize super strong football. Signing ability depends on continuously introducing superstars with outstanding personal abilities, and then giving these superstars a free environment to play on the court. What the head coach has to do is to properly combine the team under the premise of ensuring the free play of superstars. into a whole."

"It's hard to say whether Barcelona's idea is better or Real Madrid's idea has more advantages, but we can clearly see that they all have advantages and disadvantages. For example, Barcelona, ​​they somewhat suppress the player's personality and free play. desire, and the integrity of Real Madrid is far inferior to that of Barcelona."

"However, since Tottenham Hotspur took over the team from Ye Qiu, they have always taken a middle line, insisting on integrity and emphasizing free play. Many people think that this is impossible, because they themselves are a kind of contradiction. It's as if you can't ask Messi to run and cover interceptions like Vidal on the one hand, and at the same time to continue to maintain an excellent performance on the offensive end, sprinting forward and breaking through with the ball again and again, he can't do it .”

"But Ye Qiu proposed another way of thinking. He told you that it is possible, provided that it is done in moderation."

"Ye Qiu has explored a very characteristic middle-of-the-road route for Tottenham Hotspur, emphasizing the whole and at the same time giving consideration to free play. If the left side is integrity and the right is free play, then he draws a line on the left. line, and draw a line on the right side, and the team's tactics will swing back and forth between these two bottom lines."

"Sometimes, we have to admit that this is a creative and inclusive thinking. Even Mourinho said that Ye Qiu's team has further completed on the basis of inheriting a series of previous tactical concepts. In addition to integration and progress, major breakthroughs have been made in terms of integrity and freedom.”

Craig Brown also pointed out at the end of the column, "It is impossible for external forces to beat Tottenham Hotspur, because from the current point of view, the two teams closest to Tottenham Hotspur, Both Barcelona and Real Madrid are still hovering between the two extremes, while Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Manchester City and other teams may be able to defeat Tottenham Hotspur in the short term, but there is still a long way to go to disintegrate this empire. "

"So, the only ones who can beat Tottenham Hotspur are themselves. Players leave the team or get old, and the management foolishly subverts the system created by Ye Qiu. Spurs will still be the strongest team in European football and still the strongest contender for all titles!"

Craig Brown's column immediately aroused huge repercussions among fans in the UK and even the world. Even many non-Tottenham Hotspur fans highly affirmed this column. Many people thought that only Ye Qiu Talents with different backgrounds and cultures can integrate such a team, because he comes from China, which pursues the golden mean.

There are also many fans who believe that this column will make Tottenham Hotspur’s competitors clearly aware that only poaching can destroy the Tottenham Hotspur empire. Euros, dig as much as you want!"

But soon, Tottenham Hotspur fans made a counterattack. They believed that with the team's talent reserves and background, those local tyrants would not be able to dig down the walls of Tottenham Hotspur.

Of course, there are also some fans who are worried. After all, Ye Qiu's intention to retire is very clear. Once Ye Qiu retires, will Tottenham Hotspur usher in a big change?Can the successor be able to suppress this group of stars in the team?This is also a hidden danger for the future of Tottenham Hotspur.

When the FIFA awards ceremony was over, soon, the media all over the world shifted their targets and focused the hype on Tottenham Hotspur's unbeaten record, because Tottenham Hotspur had tied the Abidjan Mimosa's unbeaten record of [-] games.

As of the end of last season, Tottenham Hotspur's unbeaten record was 88 games, and this season has so far been 21 rounds, but because of Tottenham Hotspur's participation in the Club World Cup, there are few players in the middle. It took one round, so it tied the unbeaten record of Abidjan Mimosa.

On the night of January [-], the away game against Queens Park Rangers became a key battle for Tottenham Hotspur to break the legendary record that had been dusty for many years and was said to be impossible to break at the time.

From January 3st to 0th, Tottenham Hotspur's main lineup had a total of [-] days of rest. Although there was an FA Cup match in the middle, Ye Qiu arranged all the young lineups to play. , Tottenham Hotspur defeated Coventry [-]-[-] away and successfully advanced to the next round.

The eleven-day rest is actually equivalent to a winter break. Ye Qiu still follows his past experience, first giving the players a holiday and rest, and then conducting physical adjustment and reserve training. This kind of training is relatively intensive, and the purpose is to target the second half The physical reserve for the season, and then give the players a vacation, and then adjust and restore training after returning to the team.

Regarding the so-called undefeated record, Ye Qiu made it clear when he challenged the Queens Park Rangers away that he didn't pay much attention to it. Relatively speaking, he paid more attention to the team's performance in the second half of the season.

"The winter break of every season is often the most difficult adjustment period. I have clearly told my players that we don't need to be obsessed with the so-called unbeaten record, because it means nothing to us. We pay more attention to the season. What we can gain in the end is the key!"

In fact, Tottenham Hotspur did not give any incentive rewards for the unbeaten record at all. On the contrary, for the league champions and Champions League champions, the rewards given by the team are amazing, and the whole world is shocked Tottenham Hotspur's huge bonus, and all the players are also determined to win the bonus.

But sometimes, the fighting spirit and mental strength have to succumb to the objective facts, that is, after a period of high-intensity physical reserve and adjustment training, the players' bodies become obviously tired. In the second round of the Premier League No.20 , The away game drew 0:0 with Queens Park Rangers.

This is obviously not a score worth celebrating, even if Tottenham Hotspur's ball possession rate is as high as 61%, even if Tottenham Hotspur almost crushed Queens Park Rangers in the whole game, but in the end it was Failed to score the opponent's goal.

With a point at home, redknapp grinned from ear to ear for firefighting queens park rangers in october last year, saying this game will inspire the team and also congratulates tottenham hotspur It has created an astonishing historical record. It is believed that this is a legendary team that has never been seen before, and it will be difficult to have newcomers in the future.

Putting on the top hat, but it can't hide the downturn of Tottenham Hotspur. Four days later, all the Premier League teams are suspended for a rest, but Tottenham Hotspur ushered in a 805-round make-up match. As a result, in the No. 1 minute, relying on Kompany's header, they beat Laudrup's Swansea 0-[-].

For two consecutive games, Tottenham Hotspur performed very sluggishly, especially in this game against the deputy squad leader Queens Park Rangers. The whole game was full of mistakes and omissions, which proved that many players were seriously out of shape At Swansea, if Kompany hadn't used Pirlo's free kick to score at a critical moment, I am afraid it would have been 0:0!

Regarding the team's recent performance, Ye Qiu said that everything is under control, at least the team has not lost the leading position, and he also said that after the amazing state of the winter break schedule, the team needs to take a good rest Rest and take a breath.

But the schedule will not be stopped because of Tottenham Hotspur. Three days after playing Swansea, Tottenham Hotspur ushered in Manchester United at home, but Ferguson's team was a surprise at the beginning. After the opening of Van Persie In just 5 minutes, with an assist from Benzema, he knocked on the goal of Tottenham Hotspur!

1:0, Ferguson excitedly rushed out of the coach's bench of the visiting team, raised his arms high, and kept shouting wildly, as if he was sure of winning!
