Chapter 442: Accidental Goal

There is a saying in the chapter on the virtual and real chapter of Sun Tzu's Art of War: Soldiers have no constant momentum, and water has no constant form.

This sentence means that there is no unchanging situation in using troops. You must know how to adapt to the times and local conditions. You must also know how to think about problems based on actual conditions when encountering problems, and analyze specific problems in detail, because the world does not have a completely identical environment.

The arrangement of troops on the football field is actually a kind of military use.

Ye Qiu has always understood this truth deeply, so the most important thing for him to form a team is to enable this team to unswervingly execute his orders and requirements at any time and under any circumstances, and to establish the players' trust in the head coach.

This is very difficult, but once this trust is established, it is very difficult to break it or be replaced by others.

This is why even now, in the hearts of many Chelsea players, they still have a kind of rejection towards Mourinho.

The goal was conceded in the 17th minute of the game, and it was another life-and-death derby. Tottenham Hotspur was under great pressure, but Ye Qiu still achieved the goal of limiting Arsenal's offense through fine-tuning at the tactical level.

The first thing is to make the team's midfield and backcourt shrink appropriately, limiting the range of movement after Walcott and Heleb cut in.

The purpose of Arsenal's two strikers in this game is to let Walcott try his best to pull the defense line, support Adebayo, and then use Adebayo to attack Tottenham Hotspur's defense line. However, Walcott's shortcomings are obvious. He is not suitable for playing in a small range at all, and he does not have that skill.

Hleb is not a pure wing, he is better at cutting inward after getting the ball, or organizing on the wing, so now Ye Qiu makes targeted defensive adjustments to first curb Arsenal's offense and stabilize his situation.

But the price of doing this is not small, that is, paying your own possession of the ball.

And this is Ye Qiu's second step.

"Since Arsenal wants to control the ball, let them control the ball, tell Cavani and Mascherano that I will give them freedom, and the whole game will be scrambled. Other teammates will stand at the position to support them. We must not let Arsenal slow down the pace."

Mauro Tasotti and Roland Shepas were obviously surprised when they heard this, "Are you going to do this?"

"Tell Cavani and Mascherano that they will give me all their physical fitness in the remaining less than thirty minutes."

After Ye Qiu said this, Mauro Tasotti understood a little. Ye Qiu wanted to defeat two players to consume Arsenal's physical fitness, so he immediately turned to the court and asked Van Persie to play on the right. Cavani headed to the front and fought with Mascherano one after another, forming a crazy fight against Arsenal.

Wenger dares to gamble, Ye Qiu dares to gamble, who is afraid of whom?

Besides, Ye Qiu knows Wenger very well. He is the kind of academic who is better at changing the team's style, creating a team's pass and receiving system, and is well prepared before the game. Responding to the spot has always been Wenger's weakness. It is not easy for him to take such a bold adventure before this game. Ye Qiu wants to see how he will play next after he lacks physical fitness.

Cavani was frantically pressing Arsenal's defender in the frontcourt, Mascherano swept the ball almost desperately in the midfield, and other Tottenham Hotspur players supported two teammates through running. Both of them obviously had a serious impact on Arsenal's passing and propulsion. Although Arsenal still has the right to possess the ball, he can no longer use the ball smoothly as before.

Mauro Tasotti and Roland Shepas both looked at Ye Qiu with some surprise. From a strategic perspective, Ye Qiu was taking risks, and from a tactical perspective, he regarded Cavani and Mascherano as a pawn that consumed the opponent, forcing Arsenal to maintain high speed.

Football matches are like this. No one can always press against the opponent, and no one can always keep the ball in control. So Tottenham's current strategy is that since you want to press frantically, I will let you press. As long as we control the ball, you will have to run constantly. As long as you control the ball, I will let Cavani and Mascherano force you to stop and see who can't stop.

It has to be said that Ye Qiu's strategy is a dangerous move to hurt the enemy by 1,000 and himself. The bet is that Arsenal does not have a suitable substitute lineup, which is why Arsenal has always been criticized, and Tottenham Hotspur is obviously more fully on the bench.

Messi is still sitting on the bench because he played in the national team game, Modric, who just joined the team this summer, and Carol, who can provide high points in the frontcourt anytime and anywhere, and Ashawen, who strengthens the attack power of the frontcourt, and Ye Qiu bet on the thickness of the bench.

If used in chess terms, it is Duizi Rescue, which is a kind of battle method that passes through changing hands with the other party to resolve the opponent's offensive, seeks advantage in the situation, and wins the initiative. It is a negative and positive way of seeing the enemy's attack, and shows the right to do so.

Wenger did not expect that Ye Qiu would adopt this method of extreme resistance to extremes, but it was obvious that he had no choice but to retreat.

If he chooses to retract now, Tottenham Hotspur will definitely take advantage of the victory and directly form a powerful attack. At that time, Arsenal will not only be equalized, but may even be defeated.

But if you don't shrink, you can only choose to compete with Tottenham Hotspur, but this is obviously unfavorable to Arsenal. At least in the second half, their physical fitness will definitely be problematic. At that time, the initiative and advantages will definitely be transferred to Tottenham Hotspur, because relatively speaking, Arsenal currently lacks the bench thickness of Tottenham Hotspur.

As Ye Qiu said, sometimes a football game is like playing cards for the head coach. Whoever has more cards will have a greater chance of winning, and the head coaches with fewer cards will have to win unexpectedly, otherwise they will not have to play at all.

Wenger now has no cards in his hand. Rosici is an old patient. After Gilberto Silva's main position was snatched away by Flamini, his condition has also declined a lot. He is currently sitting on the bench, but he is a defensive player.

So, no matter what perspective, Wenger is not likely to adjust in the first half.

In the end, neither side chose to change, but continued to let the game go like this.

"Arsenal has an advantage in ball control. Currently, he has got the ball control rate of UU., while Tottenham Hotspur's ball control rate is only 39. The difference between the two sides makes us even more surprised is that Tottenham Hotspur did not actively want to get the ball control, but instead he seemed to consciously let Arsenal come up and grab it."

Andy Gray was a little surprised at Tottenham's performance in the first half. In fact, the tactics of both sides in this game were obviously surprising and incomprehensible.

"We can't understand what Ye Qiu is thinking now. Tottenham Hotspur played more well at the beginning, but the more he went back, the more chaotic the team performed. Moreover, Arsenal had ten shots and one goal, while Tottenham Hotspur had only three shots and no goals. Judging from the data, Tottenham Hotspur, who played at home, did not seem to be very active in winning this game. Is Ye Qiu going to keep his efforts in the mid-week Champions League group stage?"

When Tottenham Hotspur played Manchester United before, it was because they were going to play in the Champions League qualifiers in the middle of the week, Ye Qiu obviously did not do his best in this game, but instead put half of the substitute lineup, which directly led to the team losing to Manchester United 0l away.

But that game was a key battle that determined the team's life and death in the Champions League. Ye Qiu was understandable to bet on everything, but now the team is facing the Champions League group stage, so there is no need to fight like this.

"From the course of a league, especially for Tottenham Hotspurs' teams that have obvious upward momentum but have not yet established their position as a Premier League team, the performance last season was a dark horse, but this season is about to start over and lay a solid foundation for the team.

"If Tottenham Hotspur can perform well this season, enter the Champions League again, or even go to the next level, it will surely establish their position in the Premier League in one fell swoop. But if the performance is bad and is suppressed by other strong teams, it will completely return to its original form, which is the same as Everton in the past few years."

"And for a team like Tottenham Hotspur, the opening score is very important. In many cases, the start is unfavorable, and then I have to catch up all the way. It may be that because the gap is too big, even the players themselves lose the confidence and fighting spirit to catch up. It will be very difficult to chase again at that time."

Andy Gray also had a bit of concern for Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur. After all, this team's performance last season was too amazing and received a lot of attention and appreciation. If it was beaten back to its original form this season, it would be a pity.

After all, as a neutral fan, almost everyone hopes that more strong teams in the Premier League can rise and break the traditional monopoly of the semi-finals over the top four in the Premier League, and Tottenham Hotspur is undoubtedly the hope of all neutral fans now.

At least in Andy Gray's view, Tottenham Hotspur should have more belief in winning than his opponents in this derby against Arsenal. Even if the Champions League is sacrificed for this, the league is the foundation of Tottenham Hotspur. Ensuring high-level performance in the league and ensuring the qualification for the Champions League next season is Tottenham Hotspur's most practical goal.

If you lose to Arsenal, it is not just a loss of three points, it is also a loss of the most important derby game, losing the morale and fighting spirit of a team and a group of fans. Therefore, Andy Gray cannot understand Ye Qiu's current tactical style of play.

Not only Andy Gray doesn't understand, but Tottenham fans at the entire White Hart Lane are also not understandable, and they don't even understand why the team plays so disorganized and looks messy, and sometimes it always makes people feel like they are being led by their opponents.

As time goes by, the situation gradually becomes more and more difficult, and the physical energy consumption of both sides is getting worse and worse, especially after entering forty minutes, this situation becomes more and more obvious.

It was at this time, in the 43rd minute, after Tottenham intercepted the ball in the backcourt, Fabregas made a diagonal pass to score the ball. Van Persie competed with Krish on the right. After both of them landed, the referee blew a foul whistle, signaling Krish to handball and gave him a yellow card. At the same time, Tottenham also got a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt.

"From the slow motion, Krish is indeed a handball, and it is hard to say whether it is intentional or unintentional, but handball is certain. It depends on whether Tottenham Hotspur can seize this opportunity. This is also their first frontcourt set piece in the whole game."

"Beckham came up to take the free kick. Since Tottenham introduced Beckham, the offense of set pieces has always been the team's scoring weapon. Players including Hangland, Thiago Silva and other players have obtained many goals with Beckham's free kick assist. Let's see if we can equalize the score this time."

As Beckham set the ball, several set-piece scorers in Tottenham Hotspur team entered Arsenal's penalty area, and at this time the height advantage of Tottenham Hotspur players was reflected.

"Arsenal's two centre-backs, Kloe Toure is 1m 78, Galas is 1m 83, but Tottenham Hotspur's two centre-backs Hangland is 1m 94, and Thiago Silva is 1m 83. From the height, Hangland still has an advantage."

With Beckham's gesture, a barbaric fight suddenly occurred in Arsenal's penalty area. When the Englishman sent a free kick, there was a crazy collision and run in the penalty area. In this chaotic crowd, Hangland was seen jumping high in front of the goal.

This jump made Hangland, who was already more than ten centimeters taller than his opponent, as conspicuous as a crowd. Even though he had Galas and Adebayo teamed up to defend him, Beckham's free kick landed very well, just above Hangland's head. After the Norwegian was in a short position for a while, he caught the ball's momentum and pushed a rebound ball.

Amunia responded, but he wanted to use his foot to block the ball, but it was obviously not enough. He could only let the ball touch the ground and rebound and hit the goal. At this time, Flamini, who wanted to run over to clear the ball, rushed into the goal and kicked the ball angrily to the net to vent his depression.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

"A beautiful free kick cooperation"

"The header from Brad Hangland is still Beckham's accurate free kick assist from the right. His free kick on this side is really too threatening."

When the slow motion of Beckham's free throws and Hangland's header was repeatedly played on the live TV and the big screen of the stadium, Andy Gray exclaimed: "We were still worried just now that Tottenham's free kick was very threatening, but in a blink of an eye, they scored. Hangland's height, coupled with his ability to stagnate, has indeed an advantage in high ball."

"This central defender from Norway scored an equaliser for Tottenham Hotspur"

All Tottenham Hotspur fans were shouting Hangland and Beckham's names, and both of their players rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the team's goals together. Almost all Tottenham Hotspur players rushed up to congratulate them on their goals, and only Arsenal players were obviously disappointed.

When Ye Qiu saw this scene on the sidelines, he immediately walked over, waved at the players, and signaled them to continue pressing up.

This goal came a bit accidental. The team's free kick cooperation is indeed very threatening, but Arsenal's handball is not something Ye Qiu can control at all. There is a chance of equalizing the score, but Ye Qiu decided to take advantage of the victory.

But unfortunately, Tottenham Hotspur was about to counterattack, but not long after the first half game was over. The referee saw that there were not many fouls in the first half, and both teams played relatively Yu Jing, so they just stopped in one minute.

Ye Qiu didn't care either, smiled and pulled Roland over, "You go and tell Luca Modric and Messi, warm up in the midfield and find out the state. I will let them go at any time in the second half."

Roland was stunned and looked at Ye Qiu again, but the latter nodded with certainty and then walked to the locker room.

Although he didn't understand very well, Roland quickly conveyed Ye Qiu's words to Messi and Modric, telling them that Ye Qiu wanted them to be warm during the break and be ready to go up in the second half at any time.

Since Messi played in the Copa America, his health is still in the adjustment stage, and he returned to Argentina a few days ago, which made Ye Qiu not arrange for him to play in this game. So seeing the team is so passive on the scene, Messi can only be anxious off the court. Now, after hearing Ye Qiu's arrangement, he immediately became happy.

Modric just joined the team and played several games in the warm-up match. He performed tepidly. Even now, he is still a little unable to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, because compared with Croatia, the pace of the Premier League is too fast, and the players in this league generally have strong impact and have more physical confrontations, which makes Modric, who is relatively thin, not very adaptable.

Ye Qiu also understood this. After a private exchange not long ago and listening to Modric's ideas, Ye Qiu said that the team would give him more time and opportunities to slowly integrate into the team.

Originally, Modric thought he had no chance to play in this game, but who would have thought that Ye Qiu would let him in the second half.

Thinking of this, Modric's warm-up became even more exciting.

But what is surprising is that after fifteen minutes of rest and adjustment in the midfield, neither Ye Qiu nor Wenger made substitutions. After the second half, Tottenham Hotspur still maintained the tactics of the first half, launching a scramble against Arsenal from the beginning, directly pulling up the rhythm.

Arsenal was forced to deal with it, and the two sides continued to start a war of attrition, and the situation did not seem to have changed much. Many people may even think in their hearts that neither side could find a very effective way to suppress their opponents in this game, making the game very dull.

But just as the 50th minute entered, I saw midfielder Song from Arsenal team warm up on the sidelines.

The Cameroon international was loaned to Charlton last season and performed very well. Although Charlton was relegated, Arsenal was very sure of his performance and recalled him to the team. However, he has not yet been able to find a main position in Arsenal. However, since Wenger has always been interested in cultivating and crafting, it is not difficult to see his importance to Song.

But Song has not yet made an appearance, and Tottenham Hotspur took the lead in the substitution in the 55th minute.
