Chapter 379: Foot and Ball

On the second day after Tottenham Hotspur lost to Chelsea, it started raining heavily in London. This is definitely not a comfortable thing. Many journalists gathered at the Siegwell training base were thinking in their hearts, is even God crying for Tottenham Hotspur’s loss?

They originally thought that Tottenham Hotspur's head coach Ye Qiu should be disappointed with the loss last night, but what they didn't expect was that when they appeared in front of them today, Ye Qiu was driving the cool Ferrari Enzo, but he didn't feel bad at all because of the loss, but he still had a smile on his face.

Perhaps he saw a lot of reporters gathered here, and he arrived early, so he made a special trip to the gate of the security room and met with the group of reporters who were waiting here as soon as they went to work.

When a reporter asked whether this heavy rain was God crying for Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head, "Please don't cry for me in London, because we don't believe in tears."

"Losing is always a sad thing, isn't it?" Ye Qiu answered reporters' questions seriously after joking. Yesterday he did not steal Mourinho's limelight, because if he lost, the loser should have the awareness of the loser. He is not the kind of person who desperately wants to divert his attention after losing and shirking responsibility. Losing means losing. What's the point of shirking?

Who has never made a mistake in a person's life? Who dares to say that he is always right?

"But I think any team will definitely lose. Last night's game was a big blow to us, but we won't be so vulnerable that we fall down. On the contrary, this game will make us more clear about our weaknesses and shortcomings, and also know more about our problems."

"Mr. Ye Qiu" a reporter handed over the recorder, "Many people think that Tottenham Hotspur is a newly formed and very young team. Are you worried that this young team's morale has dropped significantly because of last night's game? Or are you worried that your team will not be able to get out of the shadow of last night's game?"

Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head, "Actually, I don't think so, because we are all professional teams, and we are mentally prepared for the winner and lose. We can't defeat us in a loss. And many people know that I have always played poorly in the league start."

"I once said that if you compare a team to being a long-distance runner and treat the league as a schedule, then you can have many different choices, such as starting to run slower and exert force in the middle and back-end, but you can also start running faster, but you must slow down when you reach the middle and back-end. This is a choice based on your own situation."

"Actually, our pre-season training was not very ideal, mainly because our opponents were generally in poor condition, so they covered up many problems, which led to many people being too optimistic about us. But I have always said that our goal in the new season is the top four in the league. Even now, I have never given up on this goal.

Ye Qiu's relaxed smile obviously disappointed many reporters present, because they originally wanted to see Ye Qiu's sad face, at least this would be more able to convince the embarrassment he is facing now than any words.

"Everyone knows that I always feel that a team should identify a goal and determine a direction, and then no matter what difficulties or obstacles they encounter, we must work hard to move forward. Maybe you will lose, maybe you play badly, but that doesn't matter, what's important is that you know what you want to do."

"The same is true for us Tottenham Hotspur. We have very clear goals. Whether we lose or win in every game, it doesn't matter. What's important is what we can gain from this game."

"In the eyes of many people, it seems that only winning is everything, but in fact, losing is also a kind of accumulation and precipitation, especially when you lose, you find that I am very poor in this aspect, and I am very weak in which aspect, and seeing my shortcomings and weaknesses is actually a kind of supervision and progress, which will also make the players of a team more confident and perform better."

"I believe that we will continue to lose, and we will definitely not be able to win every game, but every game is a valuable training opportunity for me and my players, and it is also an experience. This will make us stronger and more confident, and we will perform better and better with these games."

Ye Qiu's words were very sincere, and it was indeed his true experience of the game. Some reporters nodded constantly and felt the same way, but some reporters obviously were not convinced, because in their opinion, this was more of the self-comfort of the loser.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, Mr. Mourinho said yesterday that Tottenham lost because it was too soft. What do you think?"

"Has he said it?" Ye Qiu was a little surprised because there was no such problem at the post-match press conference.

But almost all the reporters present nodded, "Yes, I said, I said it at Cobham after the press conference."

Ye Qiu smiled in his heart. This guy is really restless. The post-match press conference made you show off. You still feel dissatisfied. After returning to your territory, you will be interviewed again and continue to ridicule me. He is really like Abramovich's nouveau riche-like personality.

"First of all, I don't make any comments on this sentence. Everyone has their own understanding of football," Ye Qiu said to the reporters. "But my understanding of football is obviously not like this. Of course, I do not deny that modern football body and confrontation are at an increasingly important level, but this is obviously not the whole of football."

"I am used to organizing pre-season warm-up matches, but I never require boring off-ball training, and I am not used to having my players carry dozens of kilograms or even one hundred kilograms in the gym for sit-ups. I don't let players run several kilometers or even ten kilometers every day. I think that's not training, it's a destruction and overdraft of the players' bodies."

"The reason why football is football, not rugby, not basketball, not volleyball, first of all, its important part is football and ball. That is to say, the game of using your feet to control the ball is called football, and only football but no ball, what is football?"

"Some people also say that running more, focusing on the focus, high tactical execution, and diligent attitude are the key elements for a team to play a good ball. If this is really the case, why do some teams have to be at the bottom of the points and some teams can rank first? If this is the case, does that mean that the head coach who said this can also go home and sleep, because you don't need you at all, what do you want?"

"The reason why football is divided into strength is whether the team is united, whether the players' skills and tactics can be integrated, whether the players have a sense of belonging to the team, whether they are willing to work hard for the team's game, and as the team itself, the overall situation is used to fight disorder, and whether the head coach and the players have enough ability to cope with the unpredictable changes that occur anytime and anywhere in the game."

"Our football is becoming increasingly misguided, and overemphasizing the body and running, and overemphasizing physical fitness and strength confrontation has brought too much unnecessary pressure to the players, which directly leads to a very serious consequence. The growth rate of the number of injuries every year is simply shocking, and soft tissue injuries such as cruciate ligaments are even more terrifying."

"In my opinion, there is always only one core of football games, how to play well"

"As for the loss to Chelsea, I think it's not because we're too soft, but because we're not strong enough, but as long as we continue to move on this path, we don't need to have a strong physical confrontation, nor do we need to have a rough style of playing football. We can still beat all our opponents."

Ye Qiu's words appeared in major newspapers the next day. Some newspapers would definitely delete his remarks, which was inevitable. Naturally, many people praised him, and some people thought he was shirking responsibility.

Many people think that Ye Qiu is a wise man. Over the years, injuries have become the number one enemy of any team. Many people are even beginning to reflect on whether football requires so much physical confrontation and exercise intensity?

Wenger supports Ye Qiu this time. He agrees with what Ye Qiu said, how to play well is the core of the football game. He also feels that many teams now have many head coaches that emphasize the body and strength confrontation, and ignore the most essential thing of football itself, playing football.

But some people also refuted Ye Qiu's remarks, such as Mourinho, the Portuguese's reaction came quickly, and his response appeared the next day. He said, "The essence of professional football is victory and championship. Only people like Ye Qiu who lose the game want to discuss with you how to play football, because the real winner does not need to discuss it at all, they know better than anyone else."

Ye Qiu was not happy, and he didn't name anyone, but you were okay, so he came directly at me, so he asked the reporters to ask in the newspaper, "Mr. Mourinho, if you want to talk about the championship, then, how many championships have you won? Let's listen to it."

This immediately made Mourinho very angry, but he couldn't continue to get involved on this topic, because he knew very well that in terms of the number of championships, he could not catch up with Ye Qiu. At least Ye Qiu had two heavy Champions League trophys in his hand, and he had won it for two consecutive years. This honor was not something he could challenge.

So he quickly changed the subject and pointed the contradiction to the team, believing that Chelsea is stronger than Tottenham Hotspur and so on, and Ye Qiu is obviously not interested in these, because he ushered in the first round of the League Cup in the middle of the week.

The away game against Slavia Prague was finally scored by Van Nisstrui. Tottenham Hotspur won the first leg away, with no more than 0, and Van Nie decided the result of the game.

For a time, the saying that Tottenham relies on Van Nie was in a turmoil, and many people even felt that the reason why Tottenham Hotspur was defeated by Chelsea at home was because Ye Qiuxue hid Van Nistruei.

You know, even though the Dutch had only played three rounds, he still ranked first in the scorer list with five goals, and Tottenham Hotspur has only scored eight goals at present, but Van Nisstruy scored six by himself, which shows the importance of Tottenham Hotspur. Some even say that no one can be missing.

Back in the Premier League, welcoming our city rival Fulham over the weekend. The two sides played 00. This time, even though Van Nicht was on the way, Tottenham still failed to turn the situation around.

A week later, the team challenged Liverpool away, which was another tough battle. Tottenham Hotspur lost again away 0l, and the ranking fell directly to 16th place, which was really only one step away from the relegation zone.

After six rounds, Tottenham Hotspur only scored four points. No matter which aspect, this is definitely not a satisfactory result. Many media even believe that if it were not for Ye Qiu's thunderous fame and influence, as well as his past achievements, he might become the first head coach to be dismissed this season in the Premier League.

The opponent Slavia Prague, who was the first round of the League Cup, was Van Nicht again, and l:0 again Tottenham Hotspur successfully defeated Slavia Prague with a total score of 0.

Many people are dissatisfied with the game because their opponent is a Czech team and their strength is relatively weak. However, Tottenham Hotspur is a Premier League powerhouse that is determined to be in the top four this season. It is indeed difficult to satisfy both rounds of the game.

But in an interview, Ye Qiu repeatedly stated that he was satisfied with the team's current situation, and he also said that he would not adjust the current team's lineup and tactics, and he firmly believed that the team's performance would get better and better.

Fans have no choice but to deal with Ye Qiu's stubbornness, while reporters criticized him, believing that he was using Tottenham Hotspur as a toy and fiddling with Tottenham Hotspurs. Because of Tottenham's poor performance, Tottenham Hotspur club's negotiations on the London Olympic Stadium were also in trouble.

For a moment, all the bad things seemed to sweep towards Tottenham Hotspur.

Just when the outside world's hype reached its peak, and many Tottenham fans have even begun to have stubborn opinions about Ye Qiu's performance, Tottenham Hotspur ushered in an explosion in the seventh round of the league against Portsmouth at home.

Just two minutes into the game, Ribery took the lead in using a break from the left and cut inside, then shot from the front of the penalty area, pierced through Portsmouth's goal, and opened the first record for Tottenham Hotspur.

After that, Tottenham Hotspur still launched a fierce attack on Portsmouth, creating opportunities again and again, especially the attacks on both sides made Portsmouth completely suppressed and beaten up in the half.

Although Pompeii defended his defensively, he was unable to defend until the end. Fabregas made a straight pass and quickly tore open the Pompeii's defense line. Van Nie got the ball in the penalty area, turned around, shot, and finished it in one go, the ball entered the net, 0

If Tottenham Hotspur was not satisfied with the score of 0 in the first half, then the bombardment after the start of the second half completely made the fans of the White Hart Lane stadium vent their anger and depression in their hearts. The forward Van Persie, who was substituting Van Nie, scored in the RU minute to lock the score at 0 for Tottenham Hotspur.

The Tottenham Hotspur fans at White Hart Lane Stadium were very angry, especially in recent times, the team has been under tremendous pressure, and even the fans themselves feel dissatisfied. Now they have beaten Portsmouth 0, which is surprising, and they also feel that the team is showing signs of improvement.

You should know that Portsmouth ranked fourth in the Premier League before this game. More importantly, this team won five wins and one loss in the first six rounds of the league, scored 10 goals and conceded zero goals. It is the most eye-catching team in the Premier League start of this season, and its playing style is also eye-catching. But such a team was won by Tottenham Hotspur 0 at the White Hart Lane Stadium at the White Hart Lane Stadium by Tottenham Hotspur 0

Tottenham Hotspur felt like he had avenged his shame because of this game, especially the fans, who were even more ecstatic, but Ye Qiu remained calm and rational about it, thinking that the team could perform better. Of course, he also praised the players for their outstanding performance.

After playing the seventh round of the Premier League, the Premier League was temporarily suspended for two weeks, which made Ye Qiu and Tottenham players feel uncomfortable because the team finally played in a little form, but now it has faded again after a while.

In the first seven rounds, Manchester United still ranks first in the standings, Chelsea followed closely, with Arsenal, Portsmouth, Liverpool, Everton and other teams also ranked behind one after another. On the contrary, it attracted a lot of attention before the season. Tottenham Hotspur, which claims to have invested over 100 million yuan, is currently ranked 14th, which is indeed surprising.

Many professional newspapers believe that judging from Tottenham's performance after the start of the game, this is obviously not a team that is likely to win the league championship, because they have lost four games so far. Generally speaking, the number of losses for the Premier League champions in a season should be around five games.

"Unless Tottenham Hotspur can remain unbeaten in the remaining 31 games, it will be difficult for them to attack the Premier League champions. Those fans who bought Tottenham Hotspur's surprise championship should be disappointed."

You should know that before the start of this season, Tottenham Hotspur's ranking is tied for fourth place with Arsenal, following Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool. It can be seen that fans' support and recognition of Ye Qiu, but now

Two weeks later, the team went to Birmingham and challenged Aston Villa away. As a result, the two sides tied the game. Fanny scored the first record for Tottenham Hotspur, but in the second half, Barry equalized the score for Aston Villa, and no one could score again.

This draw caused Tottenham Hotspur's league points ranking to 15th, and Aston Villa is still ranked No. 1. Ye Qiu joked that from the rankings in the standings, it is good for Tottenham Hotspur to draw with Aston Villa away.

In the middle of the week after playing Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur beat Besiktas from Turkey away in the first match of the League Cup group stage, achieving a good start to the League Cup group stage.

The weekend ushered in the ninth round of the Premier League, with Tottenham Hotspur ushering in West Ham United at home.

These two teams have caused a lot of controversy in order to compete for the London Olympic Stadium. Coincidentally, the rankings of both teams are hovering in the relegation zone, so this game is also nicknamed by the media as a key battle for relegation.
