Chapter 373
After all, it was the first warm-up match at White Hart Lane Stadium, and the ticket price of Tottenham Hotspur’s warm-up match was very low, so the White Hart Lane Stadium was crowded with people, and it seemed that at least about 30,000 people were coming to the scene.
This is the first time Macon has met Ye Qiu since he transferred to Inter Milan. In addition, it is a warm-up match, so the two disciples talked and laughed on the sidelines before the game. Ye Qiu also cared about his situation in Inter Milan. Macon said that everything was fine, and the two were even joking with Ibramovich, saying that it would be interesting if he came to Inter Milan as well.
In fact, Inter Milan was also considering warm-up matches in this game, but the lineup was not bad at all.
The goalkeeper is Cesar, the defense is Zanetti, Samuel, Cordoba and Mecon, the midfield is Stankovic, Vieira, Cambiaso and Figo, and the forward line is Adriano and Martins.
Tottenham Hotspur also sent all the main players to play, with goalkeeper Cech, defense line Vargas, Hangland, Thiago Silva and Alves, midfielder Davis, Mascherano and Fabregas, and Ribery, Fanny and Messi in the frontcourt tridents.
Sitting at the White Hart Lane Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur still adopted the tactic of proactive attacks and played very actively after the game, especially the team's two wings. After three weeks of running-in in Ireland, the players on both wings developed a certain degree of tacit understanding and were more skilled in fighting assaults.
Although Messi is playing on the right now, Ye Qiu actually gives him the right to switch positions with Ribery freely. Moreover, he is young and has a fast start speed. His physical confrontation has improved a lot in the past three years in the Premier League. His playing rhythm and frequency are very fast. Whether it is a breakthrough on the wing or a cutting inside the ball, it is very threatening.
In fact, whether it is Messi or Ribery, the speed is absolutely not too fast, that is, they are not fast at long distances, such as 100 meters speed. On the contrary, players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Duff are only fast at 100 meters speeds. Ribery and Messi are good at short distance sprints, that is, sprints within 30 meters.
This is true for almost all short players, such as Aguero.
Short-distance sprinters may not be very effective when playing against the counter, because players such as Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, Duff, etc. have a longer sprint distance, the faster they will be. Therefore, they have very good results when defending against the counter, but once they encounter intensive defense, the effect will be greatly reduced.
This is also an important reason why Ribery and Messi performed poorly under Mourinho, because Mourinho said bluntly that he did not play high-level defense, but rather a bit like a defensive counterattack. The winger is far away from the opponent's position, which is convenient for sprinting.
But in Ye Qiu's tactics, they undoubtedly seem like fish in water, because Ye Qiu prefers high-level defense, and the wingers and forwards encounter intensive defense, which is undoubtedly more convenient for small and fast players like them.
Therefore, after the opening, even though they were facing top European full-backs like Macon and Zanetti, Ribery and Messi were still very active on both sides. In addition, Vargas and Alves took turns to support him, Tottenham Hotspur played very well on both sides, directly suppressing Inter Milan.
In the third minute, Messi faced Zanetti on the right and passed it to Alves who was inserted. The Brazilian right-back got the ball and then dunked to the inside, attracting Vieira to leave his position and knocked across. Fabregas inserted it and directly passed the ball with a straight kick. The ball accurately came to Van Nie's feet. The Dutch forward turned around and shot the goal from the outside of the penalty area. The ball was saved by Cesar from the baseline.
But Tottenham's attack was obviously not negative. They soon organized another attack. Vargas scored the ball on the left but failed and knocked back to Ribery. The latter made a diagonal pass and moved to the right. Because Sanetti was pulled to the side by Messi, Alves suddenly ran and cut from 30 meters. After getting the ball about meter away from the goal, he directly kicked it and shot a powerful long shot. The ball was above the crossbar.
It was soon on the left again. Ribery and Vargas cooperated in the left corner of the penalty area with two passes and one match. Vargas rushed quickly, caught up with the ball and passed it directly at the bottom without slowing down. The ball fell into the penalty area. Van Nie beat Samuel and headed the ball, which was high.
The continuous offenses after the opening made the fans of the White Hart Lane Stadium fascinated. They are now beginning to believe that Ye Qiu's offensive ability and level in coaching a team is indeed extraordinary. At least in just over three weeks, he has seen him train Tottenham Hotspur's offense in this way, playing very active on both sides.
However, on the sidelines, Ye Qiu saw another scene, that is, Fanny's response to the two sides does not meet enough, which will inevitably bring some problems. For example, if you want to fill this loophole, either press the midfield or the full-back or the winger presses the back and cuts in. No matter which one, it will inevitably bring the team's defense of being hit and counterattack.
But it must be admitted that Tottenham Hotspur's offensive combination is indeed very powerful, and its weaknesses and shortcomings can be adjusted slowly, but the new season does not wait for anyone. Tottenham Hotspur must find a secret to make it stand in the Premier League as soon as possible, that must be an offense.
Although Fanny has many weaknesses as a center forward, as a scorer, his ability to grab points in the penalty area is second to none, and his stability is very high. As long as he is given a chance, he can basically turn into a threat.
In the 24th minute, Davis got the ball and passed it to Fabregas. Fabregas, who adjusted it, directly rubbed the ball over the top. Messi quickly rushed past Zanetti with speed and sprinted to Inter Milan to receive the ball on the right side of the penalty area. However, Zanetti was very experienced and quickly blocked Messi's route of cutting into the penalty area and contacting Van Nicht.
Messi faced Zanetti, and crossed the ball. After Alves rushed up, he knocked back with one kick. Alves stopped the ball and made a 45-degree cross. The whole movement was very skillful, and the cross landing point was between Samuel and Cordoba.
Fanny pressed Cordoba with his body, stopped the ball and turned around and swung his legs quickly, the ball entered the net, 0
This is also the three consecutive warm-up matches that Van Nystruey has scored in three consecutive warm-up matches since joining Tottenham Hotspur. This has allowed the Dutch center to completely conquer Tottenham Hotspur fans. All the fans in the audience are shouting Fanny's name and cheering for him.
Seeing the team breaking the goal first, Ye Qiu signaled that the team should stabilize first.
If it is a mature team that understands Ye Qiu's tactical ideas, you will definitely know that what Ye Qiu said about stabilization is not to focus on defense, but to adopt a stable and oppressive style. After all, Tottenham Hotspur has the initiative and possession of the ball.
But after hearing Ye Qiu's adjustment, the players adopted the appropriate strategy of retraction, which quickly gave Inter Milan, who wanted to counterattack after conceding the goal, because the relaxed mentality after just taking the lead is the most likely to lead to conceding the goal.
Inter Milan's two strikers were Adriano and Martins in this game. Mancini's idea was very simple. Adriano was used to suppress the short Thiago Silva, and Martins was used to impact the tall but not flexible enough Hangland.
Regarding Inter Milan's strategy, Hangland and Thiago Silva are also changing according to the other party's adjustments and changes, not letting their weaknesses be exposed to the other party, but just when the team retreats appropriately, this weakness is still exposed.
When Maicon passed the front of the penalty area at 45 degrees and Adriano quickly moved to the right and used his body to withstand Thiago Silva, Ye Qiu noticed that he shouted the second point on the sidelines, and was aware that Hangland should pay attention to the second point on the defensive landing.
But this reminder was slow after all. Martins grabbed the second point, then accelerated the sprint, broke through Hangland, forming a single shot. Although Peter Cech made a save, he could not stop Martins from entering the net.
This is the football game, this is the importance of defensive tacit understanding and system
If Hangland and Thiago Silva had a better understanding at that time and the two could keep echoing each other, then the second landing point would not have been so easily obtained by Martins. Even if it could be better, Hangland would have been fighting for the header with Adriano.
This is inevitable, because defense is always passive, and offense takes the initiative, and proactive attack will definitely find ways to develop the weaknesses of defense. For example, just now, Macon obviously passed the ball to find Thiago Silva, so that Adriano can use it, you can't avoid it.
"All grouping and confrontation training in the future will divide Thiago Silva and Hangland into the same group, and develop their tacit understanding and familiar cooperation methods as soon as possible." Ye Qiu leaned over and reminded his assistant Roland.
This Dutch fat man is a bit like a choreographer. He remembers whatever Ye Qiu says, but coincidentally, he is very good at this.
As Ye Qiu said, except for his poor professional tactics, Roland is almost impeccable.
After ending the first half with the score of 1, Ye Qiu still encouraged the players during the halftime break, but still made considerable substitution adjustments. After all, the team's warm-up matches were very intensive during this period, and many players needed to protect them.
Inter Milan also mainly focuses on warm-up effects, so it has also made large-scale substitutions.
Perhaps because of the large-scale substitution, the game was not as good as the first half, but Tottenham Hotspur still insisted on attacking from the wing. Inter Milan replaced substitute players and rookies such as Dakot, Pizarro, Marino, etc., but never made any breakthrough in the scene.
Heddlestone, Yaya Toure and Lucas were three midfielders, and the tridents in front were Ashley Young and Ashavin. The forward was Cavani, who was nicknamed by Ye Qiu as Fanny's apprentice. The idol of the Uruguayan striker was Fanny, so when he was in Ireland, he tried his best to pester Fanny to teach his shooting skills.
Van Nie was also miserable. He was so entangled by Van Persie and Cavani that he could not help but agree to give some advice.
In addition, both Mascherano and Yaya Toure were pestering Davis, and there was no reason for this, because when Ajax was a man, both Bobby Hams and Van Basten asked them to try to learn Davis's football awareness, that is, the wisdom of running and receiving.
In the past, I watched a lot of TV videos, but now when I see myself, I naturally ask to teach. As well, several young players in the team who want to improve also learn humbly, but not all of them.
For example, Carroll, this young player who switched from Newcastle this season is quite arrogant. He is very tall and has a good size, but he is not interested in learning from anyone, even Fanny is not interested.
Ye Qiu did not force these things, but let it go. He would learn and teach if he was willing to learn and teach, and would not force him.
However, in the second half, the best performance was not Vanny's apprentice Cavani who played the striker, but Yaya Toure, who played the midfielder. The Ivory midfielder quickly inserted a powerful long shot, pierced through Cesar's goal, won a lot of lottery, and helped Tottenham Hotspur surpass the score again.
Ye Qiu really didn't expect that because the shot just now was at least 30 meters away from the goal. He made such a long shot with a certain arc at such a long distance, which was shocking and truly wonderful.
This also made him realize that Yaya Toure's injected attack and long shots might become a powerful weapon for the team. Moreover, Yaya Toure's own skills are very good, so it is really underestimating him just to be a defender.
So at the end of the game, after Tottenham Hotspur finally defeated the visiting Inter Milan at home, Ye Qiu called Yaya Toure on the sidelines, analyzed some of the situations that happened in the game and learned about his thoughts at the time.
This is a kind of investigation by the head coach on the player, because if the player had no idea at the time or had not clear enough, it proved that the player was just lucky and happened to encounter a goal that he had a chance to score, then he would definitely not be able to develop tactics and offensive routines around this point, but Yaya Toure's statement is very clear and organized.
"I know, the team's requirement is not to waste an offensive opportunity, but at that time I saw the opponent's Brazilian goalkeeper positioned relatively well, and our frontcourt offensive players have not yet been in place. I think I can try it. I have scored such a goal in Ajax."
Yaya Toure's answer satisfies Ye Qiu, but Ye Qiu still asked about the details in some other games. He found that Yaya Toure always knew what he should be and kept a sense of rationality and calmness during the game.
"I have been thinking that maybe you should give you more opportunities to participate in the team's offense, but I am worried that you will become addicted to the offense and cause problems in the team's defense."
"Don't worry, head, I promise, I can live both offense and defense at the same time, I have confidence." Yaya Toure guaranteed it with full confidence, because everyone has the desire to attack in their bones, "Just like Edgar was when he was at Chelsea, I could do what he could do."
Ye Qiu didn't feel it at first, but as he listened, he felt uncomfortable, "Have he taught you?"
Yaya Toure was speechless. Needless to say, you can tell that it must be Davis who taught him.
"Head, I really feel like this kid is buried as a defensive player." Davis, who was standing beside him, had already eavesdropped, and immediately walked over with a smile, stood beside Ye Qiu, and said with a smile.
Ye Qiu pointed at Davis, "At the peak of Davis' attack can attack and the defense can retreat, can you do it?"
"Yes," Yaya Toure looked at Davis and nodded.
"Okay, when you can do it and do it better than him, I will start for you and let him substitute you." Ye Qiu pointed to Davis, then pointed to Yaya Toure, and finished speaking with a smile, then turned around and left.
Yaya Toure was so happy that he smiled with white teeth, and Davis was stunned, "I'll give you a substitute."
Yaya Toure only discovered that something was wrong. In Chinese terms, isn’t this just teaching the disciples but not the master?
The Ivorians are not fools. On the contrary, they are very smart. The most important thing they should do at this time is to look at their noses and their noses and their hearts, and they don’t say anything, but they are laughing in their hearts. Are you not old? Do you always want to stand in the pit and not shit?
Davis saw his smile and didn't understand anything. He stretched out his finger and pointed at this guy, staring at him with a fierce look of intimidation and then left. But in fact, he couldn't do anything, and he himself had accepted the fact that his career was in his twilight years.
Three days later, the team appeared in Dortmund, Germany, and challenged Dortmund away at Westphalia Stadium
In this game, Yaya Toure appeared in the starting lineup again, and Ye Qiu also began to give him more opportunities to participate in offense and ball promotion, which made at some point in the game, Tottenham Hotspur's midfielder only left with a dragged Mascherano to protect the defense.
After adjusting the new tactics, Tottenham Hotspur played poorly at the Westfall Stadium, suppressed by Dortmund and knocked on Peter Cech's goal first. However, in the second half, Tottenham Hotspur made adjustments. Fanny, who came on the bench, made another final decision and scored a goal to regain the score for Tottenham Hotspur.
The score was finally maintained until the end of the game, with Tottenham winning a draw from the away game
After playing Dortmund, Tottenham Hotspur did not return to London immediately, but continued another warm-up match in Germany. The opponent was Nuremberg, who performed well in the Bundesliga last season. This time, Tottenham Hotspur clearly performed better, Van Nicht scored again, while Ribery and Fabregas each scored one goal, defeating Nuremberg 0 away games.
Back in England, the team continued to sit at the White Hart Lane Stadium, ushering in Birmingham, which has been reduced to the Championship this season, but the team coached by Steve Bruce forced a tie with Tottenham Hotspur at the White Hart Lane Stadium.
The facts are obvious that Tottenham Hotspur's offensive ability is indeed not weak, but there are many defensive problems, especially the team's overall tacit understanding and tactics need to be improved, but time does not wait for anyone.
When Tottenham Hotspur was having a warm-up match with Birmingham, Benitez's Liverpool also started the Community Shield Cup with Chelsea. As a result, the Reds defeated Mourinho's Chelsea and made a good start. Not only that, Liverpool almost completely suppressed Chelsea in this game.
Mourinho arranged a pair of two forwards between Shevchenko and Drogba in this game, but the two were obviously completely incompatible. The cooperation between midfielders Lampard and Barack was not small. Who will be the main player of Essin or Marklele? Coupled with the team's goalkeeper problem, Chelsea can be said to be full of problems now.
But no matter what, the Blues are still the most promising team in the Premier League. After all, the strength of this team is there, but so many problems will inevitably affect Chelsea
Because with the end of the Community Shield, the Premier League curtain has gradually begun
