The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 767
Tottenham Hotspur's 4-0 victory over Real Madrid at home shocked fans and the media all over the world.

You know, Tottenham Hotspur played against AC Milan in the knockout round of [-]. Everyone originally thought that the Rossoneri was too weak. After all, the performance of Serie A in the past few seasons has been very sluggish. , But what everyone didn't expect was that in the first round of the quarter-finals, Tottenham Hotspur beat Real Madrid by a big score.

Is this the rhythm of defending the Champions League again?
In this game, Cavani, who played the big four, became famous. The performance of the Uruguayan center in this game has amazed fans all over the world. At the same time, he has once again become the focus and object of media attention. .

On the second day of the game, almost all the media and newspapers reported on the game as the headlines, and Cavani was in a very critical part of the report. Everyone believed that it was Cavani. Varney's outstanding performance helped Tottenham Hotspur beat Real Madrid.

This night, the stars of the Uruguayan finally overshadowed Messi and Ribery!

However, while hyping Cavani, many media also moved out previous news materials and reorganized them. They began to pay attention to Cavani’s contract renewal with Tottenham Hotspur. The Uruguayan’s contract renewal negotiations have been going on for half a year. It has been a lot of time, but there has been no progress, especially in the second half of this season, many people have already started to hype that Cavani is leaving the team.

With two years left in the contract, Cavani must either renew his contract or leave the team. This is a normal choice in professional football.

The media and newspapers close to Tottenham Hotspur, as well as Tottenham Hotspur fans hope that Cavani can stay in the team, but a considerable number of people believe that Tottenham Hotspur should not consider Cavani Break the team's salary balance again.

Martin Samuel mentioned in his column, "Tottenham Hotspur's strength in the past few years is enough to prove one thing to everyone, that is, no one is indispensable in this team, If there is anyone who has been integral to the rise of Tottenham Hotspur, it has to be manager Ye Qiu."

"Among the wishes of the fans, they naturally hope that the team will keep Cavani, and many people even shouted that it was easy to raise the salary of the stars in the team, but they did not know what the salary increase represented. "

"According to Cavani's agent's request to the club, although the previous weekly salary of 30 pounds has been relaxed, it has been reduced to 25 pounds, but the problem is that once the team agrees to Cavani's request, then As the number one star in the team, what should the salary of Messi and Ribery be?"

"Also, captain Thiago Silva is the backbone of the team's defense. Petr Cech and Kompany's contract renewals are also on the agenda. In addition, midfielders Vidal and Ramsey will also return in succession. New contracts signed, new contracts for Kyle Walker, Marcelo, Hazard, Neymar and others have to start preparations."

"Before Tottenham Hotspur proposed to control the team's salary at a reasonable ratio of 40-45% of financial revenue, but if it is really carried out according to the current situation, Cavani will drive Totten The weekly salary of Nam Hotspur has reached at least 20 pounds, and Tottenham Hotspur’s annual salary expenditure will exceed [-] million, entering the top three of the Premier League!"

"Obviously, the price paid is too great. On the one hand, we have to admit that Cavani is indeed a vital member of the team, but he is only a part of the team. We cannot break down for him. On the other hand, we must clearly see that unless Tottenham Hotspur transforms into a team like Manchester City and Newcastle, or a team like Real Madrid and Barcelona, Otherwise, it is impossible for anyone to support Cavani's amazing salary, which is completely unreasonable."

In the column, the fat man who has a close relationship with Tottenham Hotspur expressed his opinion, "I personally think that Tottenham Hotspur should try their best to keep Cavani and guarantee him the team's highest salary." At the same time, use the club's business model to help him increase his income, but if this is not enough for Cavani, let's get together and break up."

The Times also published news that Tottenham Hotspur's chief scout Peter Dewissel went to Genoa, Italy to observe Genoa's Italian center Chiro Immobile, a 22-year-old Italian center He played [-] times in Genoa this season, but only scored [-] goals and [-] assists, his performance was quite average.

The biggest highlight of Immobile is that last season, he played for Pescara, coached by Zeman in Serie B. Under the guidance of Zeman, who is known as attacking and can do nothing, Immobile scored 28 goals in one season. Although it was a goal in Serie B, it was eye-catching for a young center forward.

The Times is only a report on Tottenham Hotspur's inspection of Immobile. After all, Peter Dewissel has inspected many players. Not long ago, he went to watch the Bayern Munich game. The focus was on Thomas Muller and Mandzukic. At the same time, he also went to see the Dortmund game and inspected Lewandowski.

Therefore, no one cares about this matter. After all, no one will think that Immobile, who performed poorly in the first Serie A season, is qualified to play for Tottenham Hotspur. The gap between them is really not that big.

Tottenham Hotspur defeated Real Madrid 4-0 in the first leg, and the other games have also been divided one after another.

Dortmund, who are in the same half as Tottenham Hotspur, drew 0-0 away with Malaga in the first round, but Klopp's team still has great hopes of advancing at home, and considering Tottenham's heat Tottenham Hotspur have already dominated the first leg with a landslide victory as media speculation is rife that Tottenham will face Borussia Dortmund in the semi-finals.

In the other half, Bayern Munich beat Juventus 2-0 at home, Paris Saint-Germain drew Barcelona 2-2 at home, both games were not exciting enough, a day later than Tottenham Hotspur However, the reaction of the fans was generally not high, especially Barcelona, ​​which was a very disappointing game.

But the suspense in the second round of the game is very high. Except for Tottenham Hotspur who won by a big score and basically got the right to advance, the second round of the other three teams is full of suspense. Who can advance to become the winner? The object of attention of fans and media.

After the Champions League game is over, Tottenham Hotspur will immediately usher in the second round of the Premier League No.30.

This time Liverpool played an hour earlier than Tottenham Hotspur, both on Saturday night, but interestingly, both games were draws, Liverpool drew 0-0 with West Ham United, while Tottenham Tottenham 2:2 draw with Everton.

After Ye Qiu was tied 1-1 in the first half, the situation was quickly reversed in the second half. Drogba's goal helped Tottenham Hotspur go ahead again, but at the last moment, Varane's mistake caused Conceded a goal for Tottenham Hotspur.

The two goals conceded in this game were all related to Varane. The young central defender who replaced Thiago Silva in the start and partnered with Kompany performed poorly in this battle. He was also controversial after the game. In the eyes of many people, it seems that he should not be the starter.

But Ye Qiu repeatedly defended Varane in an interview with the media after the game. He believed that Varane performed very well throughout the game, and everyone should not just pay attention to his mistakes, but should look at his game How many things did he do in the game, and he is still young, young people should get understanding and forgiveness for mistakes, not criticism and condemnation.

In the middle of the week, Tottenham Hotspur appeared at the Bernabeu Stadium after the rotation. Ye Qiu's team continued to use the tactics used in the second half of the first leg, taking advantage of the possession of the ball in the midfield and adopting a shrinking tactics in the midfield to force Real Madrid. Press it out to fight, and then hit Real Madrid's counterattack.

In the face of Tottenham Hotspur's wise but desperate style of play, Chilean engineers have no effective methods. They lost 0:2 at home to Tottenham Hotspur. Ribery and Card Vani each scored a goal to help Tottenham Hotspur take Real Madrid away.

As a result, Tottenham Hotspur eliminated the La Liga giants from the Champions League with a total score of 6:0 in the two rounds, and successfully entered the semi-finals. The other three teams that reached the semi-finals were Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich. and Barcelona.

However, the situation of Tottenham Hotspur has not eased because of the promotion to the semi-finals. On the contrary, as the end of the league is approaching, the competitions on all fronts have begun to tighten, and the pressure on Tottenham Hotspur is also getting bigger.

Three days after the away challenge to the Bernabeu, the FA Cup ushered in. Tottenham Hotspur was a guest at Anfield to challenge Liverpool.

Considering the match against Real Madrid, Ye Qiu made a proper rotation of the team's starting lineup, but this time the team's rotation encountered Liverpool's almost suffocating suppression, and the team performed very poorly in the first half , What's more terrible is that the central defender combination of Nesta and Nastasic conceded two goals in a row under the attack of Suarez, Villa, Mata and Gerrard. Tottenham Hotspur Lost 0:2 in the first half.

In the second half, Ye Qiu made substitutions and adjustments, trying to change the situation of the team continuously. Although Neymar's cross passed the ball and assisted Drogba to score with a header, in the end the team still suffered from Anfield 1:2. court.

This also dealt a big blow to Tottenham Hotspur, and Ye Qiu clearly saw that after losing Pirlo, the team's midfielder really lacked a player who was calm and rational enough to respond in any situation. The midfield is well sorted out.

Sandro, who started this game, performed sluggishly. Although the 24-year-old Brazilian midfielder has made a lot of progress since leaving the Eredivisie, he is still far away from being the only player and the requirements of the coaching staff. In one game, Tottenham Hotspur's midfield was completely suppressed by Liverpool.

Of course, the performance of several other players is also very average. The biggest bright spot is Eriksson. People can't save a team.

Benitez was very excited to knock out Tottenham Hotspur from the FA Cup at home and advance to the final. In the press conference after the game, he launched a counterattack against Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur, thinking that The failure of the FA Cup will be the beginning of Tottenham Hotspur's rout, and Liverpool will usher in a turning point for the league to reverse Tottenham Hotspur.

However, in the midweek Premier League No.30 three-round make-up match, Liverpool drew 0:0 away from Reading. Benitez was very dissatisfied with the team's performance, because this would lead to Liverpool's league points being pulled away.

Therefore, after the match between Liverpool and Reading, everyone will focus on the evening match between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur at home!
…………

…………

The referee Michael Dean ruthlessly blew the whistle for the end of the game, and Tottenham Hotspur's offensive seemed to be stopped in an instant, leaving only the fans at Stamford Bridge who were relieved and shocked.

Yes, all the Blues fans must be feeling lucky at this moment, because they are satisfied that they can keep the tie at the last moment, because in the last 15 minutes, Tottenham Hotspur's offensive was too fierce.

In 15 minutes, six shots and five shots on goal. From this data, you can see the tragedy of the last 15 minutes at Stamford Bridge. In the chance of Tottenham Hotspur's five shots on goal, Ramsey Only one of them was grasped to help Tottenham Hotspur equalize the score, and that was the No.80 goal in the second minute.

In the beginning of this game, Chelsea played too smoothly. Oscar received an assist from Cahill in the first minute and broke the goal of Tottenham Hotspur. But soon, Messi received Pirlo With a pass, the score was equalized, and the two sides returned to the starting line.

Mourinho's team still continued the defensive tactics they used against Tottenham Hotspur in the past, while Ye Qiu's team continued to hold high the banner of offense. The two sides played in full swing. No. 309 minutes, Torres's With an assist, Ramirez broke through Tottenham Hotspur's goal again and exceeded the score again.

Afterwards, the two sides failed to find a way to break through the opponent's goal again. Although Tottenham Hotspur had the advantage in possession, they could not threaten Chelsea's goal. Until the second half, after Ye Qiu adjusted again, Tottenham Nam Hotspur got another chance to score and equalized the score.

2:2, this score is obviously uncomfortable, especially in the case of Liverpool's 0:0 draw with their opponents, Tottenham Hotspur should have taken this opportunity to widen the gap between the two sides, but now they are forced to a draw , is really depressing enough.

"The past few games have once again proved the necessity of midfield reform!" Ye Qiu stood in the command area of ​​the away team's coach at the Stamford Bridge Stadium, and said to Mauro Tassotti, full of sobs.

Two years ago, Ye Qiu made a drastic transformation of Tottenham Hotspur's midfield, and Pirlo became the key to Tottenham Hotspur's resurgence. Invincible on the field, Pirlo played a vital role.

But the problem is also obvious. Pirlo will soon be 34 years old. At present, he alone has provoked the midfielders of the two teams of Italy and Tottenham Hotspur. Then deal with Tottenham Hotspur's multi-line combat, but these are not the point. The point is that Pirlo's playing speed has dropped a lot.

As you get older, your physical condition will definitely decline, and once your body declines, your playing speed will definitely not be the same as it was at your peak. Even Pirlo this season has dropped a lot compared to last year.

You know, not to mention the fast-paced Premier League, even in European football, one of the biggest characteristics of the UEFA Champions League over the years is that the pace of the game is getting faster and faster, and fast has become a consensus of all teams.

The Chinese have a saying that the only thing in martial arts in the world is to be fast and unbreakable. This is the truth.

The reason why Italian teams have been sluggish in the Champions League in recent years is because they are too slow. Allegri's point of view is actually correct and far-sighted, but he is unlucky in AC Milan Can't support him to complete this idea.

Also, like Barcelona, ​​why is this team not as sharp as it was a few years ago?
The reason is also very simple. Many core players in the team are too old, whether it is Harvey or Puyol, they are all too old, which makes them have problems with the speed of handling the ball, especially Harvey However, if Barcelona continue to insist on playing with Harvey as the core, their overall rhythm will have to accommodate Harvey, and it will only get slower and slower.

This style of play is not competitive in the Champions League!
Therefore, two years ago, Pirlo was the right choice for Tottenham Hotspur, but now, two years later, he has become an obstacle for Tottenham Hotspur, so Ye Qiu will find an opportunity to follow Pirlo had a good talk, and the two sides had an open and honest talk to find a solution to the problem.

It is foreseeable that even if Pirlo stays in the team, I am afraid that he will have to get used to playing as a substitute in some games next season, but with Pirlo's always proud character and his eagerness to participate in the World Cup in Brazil, I am afraid he may not necessarily can accept such an arrangement.

But Ye Qiu is also very clear that Pirlo is a very mature and intelligent person, just as he chose to leave AC Milan in order to continue playing football, so don't be surprised if he leaves Tottenham Hotspur, because he is In order to continue playing football, in order to participate in the World Cup only left.

Such a player deserves respect!

"Let me talk to him!" Mauro Tassotti felt that he should take up this responsibility. "If he wants to stay until 2014, he can directly work on the coaching staff. He has always been interested in coaching. Of course, if he refuses, we should respect him!"

They are both Italians. Mauro Tassotti and Pirlo have been friends for many years. They have a close personal relationship and are easy to talk to, so Ye Qiu agreed.

As the saying goes, a hero is late, a beauty has a white head, and time is really a butcher's knife!
