Beckham's injury still greatly affected Tottenham's midfielder.

Although the team did not do their best in the mid-week League Cup, Manchester City also played with a half-substitute lineup. As a result, Tottenham Hotspur, who also played in a mixed match with the youth team, defeated Manchester City 0 away.

This season, Ye Qiu has transferred several young players in the team to the first team and trained with the first team, such as Ramsey, Eden Hazard, and Kyle Walker. These three players basically train with the first team, but they either play in the youth team and the reserve team, or play in the League Cup, or occasionally come on as a substitute.

Ye Qiu felt that he should not be too hasty when it comes to training young players, but he should not be too slow to heat up.

Wenger and Ferguson can be said to be two completely different ways of training. Because Wenger is affected by the financial situation and Wenger's own personality problems, Arsenal's young players often take the lead early. But the problem is that promoting young players to play the main players too early is a bit suspicious of boosting seedlings and promoting growth, and it also affects Arsenal's performance.

Although Arsenal is ranked first, everyone knows that Wenger's main lineup is that. Young players are simply unable to bear the heavy responsibility. Once the schedule is intensive, the team's performance will definitely be affected. Therefore, the top favorite in the league's championship is Manchester United, with Arsenal following closely behind, Liverpool ranked third, and Tottenham and Chelsea tied for fourth.

It's not that I underestimated Tottenham Hotspur. A very important reason is that Tottenham lacks experience in winning the championship. Moreover, with Beckham being injured and missing the entire intensive winter schedule, it has a very important impact on Tottenham Hotspur. However, this year Ye Qiu obviously does not plan to make up for the winter break because there is not enough time.

Instead of introducing players, for Ye Qiu, it is better to carefully carve Modric.

Ferguson trains young players in the opposite way that Wenger has. He has always been worried about pulling seedlings and promoting growth, so he usually entrusted important tasks to young players around the age of 2009. So he introduced Nani and Anderson this season, but these two players have not received much reuse and cultivation in Manchester United this season.

Another central defender Evans, who is currently 19 years old, is very optimistic about this player, but even now, Ferguson still does not intend to focus on cultivating him, but plans to loan him out.

Of course, this is also because of the increasingly strong central defender combination of Vidic and Ferdinand. But it is undeniable that in Ye Qiu's previous life, Gerald Pique finally chose to return to Barcelona, ​​and even Paul Pogba went to Juventus later, all of which were related to Ferguson's way of cultivating young players.

Many people say that Arsenal is good at cultivating young players, but don’t just stare at those finished products, but should see how many young talents are destroyed by Arsenal. Among them, Wenger’s method of raising seedlings and promoting growth is one of the very important reasons.

But Ferguson's cultivation method, which wants to wait until the players are mature and then reuse and craft them, is gradually not in line with the current rules of player. After all, with the development and progress of technology, players will become precocious. They need enough games and exercise to accumulate experience, especially for some precocious players with relatively independent personalities.

So many times, in some relatively confident games, Ye Qiu would directly lead the youth team to play as a substitute, and then give 20 or 30 minutes in one game, or even just let them go up and play for about ten minutes. This is a kind of exercise for them, a kind of exercise for familiarizing themselves with the intensity of Premier League and Champions League matches.

According to Ye Qiu, we cannot pull out seedlings to encourage growth, but we cannot be too slow to heat up. We adopt the Chinese doctrine of the mean and go to the middle.

How to grasp the scale here depends on Ye Qiu's weighing on the coaching team.

After playing Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspurs ushered in another North London derby, but this time they lost to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium because Ye Qiu arranged a central defender combination between Kompany and Thiago Silva. As a result, Adebayo and Bentner scored two goals, both knocking on Tottenham Hotspur's goal.

Although Van Persie helped the team score, she eventually lost the game.

After the game, the media strongly rebuked the two central defenders of Tottenham Hotspur. It is a consensus that Thiago Silva performed averagely against Drogba and Adebayo, such as high center forwards, but Kompany, who replaced Hangland's starter in this game, could not suppress the two high center forwards of Arsenal, which is indeed unsatisfactory.

Many fans and media even called for the team to consider recollecting Ridley King who could not play at Chelsea, or let Ye Qiu reuse Mike Dawson. At least the front defense ability of the England central defender is still very good.

Although Tottenham Hotspur did not respond to the outside world, there were also many internal differences.

How terrifying the devil's schedule around Christmas is, the players have been familiar with it last season, and Ye Qiu has always said that the schedule around Christmas will seriously affect a team's entire season, which is a feature of the Premier League.

Therefore, in the last game before Christmas, especially in major matches like the North London Derby, losing to Arsenal, the mortal enemy, has affected the atmosphere inside the team. Many media and journalists from the outside world have doubts about the performance of individual players, which has invisibly added some pressure.

As the team's head coach, Ye Qiu himself also has pressure because after losing to Arsenal, the team fell out of the top four and fell to fifth place. This is just like the festival for the English media, especially after Tottenham Hotspur just won the future ownership of the home stadium in the London Olympics.

Whether to sign a player during the winter break is not just outside. The opinions of fans and reporters are divided into two factions. Even the coaching staff in Tottenham Hotspur team also have different opinions. Some people think that it should be introduced, especially a high-level central defender. After all, there is only Hangland who has a steady performance, and Thiago Silva's performance is mixed.

Ye Qiu was in the coaching room just now and was rarely domineering. He directly stated that during the winter break, whether it is the central defender or the midfielder, he did not intend to sign a player, especially the central defender. "I don't think there is any suitable central defender in the transfer market now, and that meets the conditions for introduction."

With this sentence, he suppressed all other opinions a little dictatorially and firmly continued to trust Thiago Silva.

Central defenders are very scarce today. One of the very important reasons for this situation is that the tactical system of European football has been developing leapfrog in recent years. Everyone is very clear that integration is the future trend, and all the head coaches with a little vision are undergoing overall transformation of the team.

Perhaps in the eyes of many fans, integration is a good thing for mid- and downstream teams, because fans are not clear about the situation.

The so-called integration is to pursue stability of one plus one or more than two, and one is the strength of the player. Therefore, for the team, integration has an advantage, that the overall strength of the team will no longer be like in the past, the core players are injured, and the team's performance fluctuates too much, but this is a nightmare for mid- and lower-level teams, because they will find that it is becoming more and more difficult to upset, because their players' strength cannot be compared with strong teams at all. The result of integration is that the gap between the two sides is even larger.

For some players in the integrated strong team, especially scorers, it becomes easier to score goals, because the integration causes the strong team to easily crush the weak team, and it is naturally easy to score.

So this season, Tottenham Hotspur has scored 4l goals so far, Ribery scored 14 goals alone, three more goals than Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo, and Van Persie has also scored 71 goals, Messi scored U-goal, and Trident has won a total of Tottenham Hotspur's 4l goals.

But this is at the offensive level, can it be defended? It is getting more and more difficult

To a certain extent, the current football offense is transforming in an overall way, but the overall defense is a bit unsatisfactory. One very important reason is that it is easier to cultivate and carve an offensive player than to cultivate a defensive player, and for defensive players, changing style is not an easy thing.

Even Ye Qiu can say that even in 2013, the transformation of the central defender is still in a very awkward stage. So if you look at the top central defenders in 2013, you will find that you can't pick out a few top central defenders. Even among the giant teams, there will be many central defenders who seem to be very bad and have unstable performance in your impression, but they are already the main players of the giants and are among the top football players all over the world.

Ye Qiu dares to say that looking at the football world today, no one has more tactical vision than him. Because he has experienced all this personally, he knows very well what changes will happen in the future, so he can always be ahead of others. This time, he still has to be ahead of the training of the central defender.

But facing the coaching staff, he can be dictatorial because it is not the first time he is dictatorial, but he thinks he should talk to the players.

From the second floor of the training building, Ye Qiu planned to go to the pitching machine training room, which has become the favorite place for Tottenham Hotspur players to go. Another place is the indoor football venue, where there are group matches there every day, and the players will also formulate some interesting rewards and punishments themselves, such as cleaning the toilet.

But when Ye Qiu was about to walk out of the training building, he found that the people he wanted to find were actually in the gym, which made him feel like he wanted to laugh because he felt that the least what the team's central defender needed to practice was strength and confrontation.

"Where is a meeting?" Ye Qiu walked in directly.

Thiago Silva and Kompani were both there, and the Belgians were still sitting on the chest clamp.

The two central defenders were obviously discussing something. As soon as they saw Ye Qiu coming in, Thiago Silva stood up immediately, and Kompani immediately got off the chest clamp.

"Don't we have regulations. Is there no need to use gym equipment to train automatically?" Ye Qiu's tone was a little tough.

Every device in the gym has its fixed function. As a professional player, it does not mean that the more you practice here, the better. The most important thing is to be reasonable. Tottenham Hotspur has very high requirements and management measures for these.

"We have consulted Professor Peter Brandt," Thiago Silva quickly explained.

Ye Qiu didn't say anything more after hearing this. He looked at Thiago Silva and then at Kompany. This Belgian boy is really unique with a bald head, with a big and round head shell, and it looks a bit like a melon in a plant vs. zombie.

"When I have time, I think you should watch more game videos and practice passing and receiving more, especially fast slanted passes to the two wings." Ye Qiu gave his own opinions to the two central defenders.

Thiago Silva and Kompani looked at each other and nodded, then Kompani thought for a while and asked, "What about our strength confrontation? Do you think it should be strengthened?"

After hearing this, Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head, "I can't say whether to strengthen, because for the central defender, strength confrontation is definitely needed, but I think it's good to be enough. On the contrary, you have played in many other different positions. Thiago, you have played forward and midfielder, and you have good ball and pass skills. Vincent, you have also played back midfielder, and you have good ball skills."

"Do you know? The reason I introduced you is because I like you."

Thiago Silva and Kompani were both a little surprised. Ye Qiu never told them why they were considering introducing them, but they have always strengthened their ability to get and play.

Ye Qiu thought about it and had enough time today, so he decided to take a central defender class. So he brought paper and pen in the gym and introduced the two central defenders he was very optimistic about.

"You think that what is the most important thing for all teams to be integrated now? Also, think about it carefully, what will you discover when you watch the video of the game around the beginning of the century?"

Both of them were somewhat unexpected about Ye Qiu's problem. This problem was either too deep or too cold.

"I tell you that when more and more teams become more and more skilled in overall control, running without the ball will become more and more important, because football offenses always use their own advantages to hit the opponent's weaknesses. What about the past? The tactical integrity is not strong enough, not strict enough, and not highly collaborative, so it depends on the personal strength of the stars and use one-on-one to create local advantages. So with Pele, Maradona, and the magical performance of Ronaldo and others."

"Because we concentrate our most advantageous forces at one point, break through a certain point in the opponent's defense line, and then collapse the entire defensive surface and create gaps, and the chance to score goals will naturally come. Therefore, in that era, the personal ability of the stars was very high. The personal ability of the offensive players and the personal ability of the defensive players were very important, because at that time, all offensive tactics were trying every means to create one-on-one opportunities.

"But with the advent of the trend of integration, offensive players gradually discovered a problem, that is, the opponent will no longer give you one-on-one opportunities easily, and the opponent will maintain the overall coordination rigorously on the tactical level, making it difficult for you to easily create one-on-one, so Greece won the European Cup championship."

Thiago Silva and Kompani are just young players. They have a very good understanding of football, especially the core level of tactics. Not to mention comparing with Ye Qiu and the coaching staff, even if they compete with a group of veterans such as Beckham, they are all very inferior. So when they hear Ye Qiu's success in analyzing Greece in this way, they are full of surprise.

"After I won the championship in Greece, I said that this European Cup will inevitably bring huge changes to European football and even the world, because everyone has discovered the advantages of overall football, but to give full play to this advantage will bring about a new problem, that is, running without the ball."

Ye Qiu is very patient. He was going to hit these two pieces of uncensored jade, so he had to let them understand that at least he had a concept in his mind, that is, what kind of responsibilities the Tottenham Hotspur’s central defender would have to bear in the future, and what kind of system the team’s defense would be.

"For the offensive side, the closer you defend, the more I don't move, you will be restricted by you. So I want to move, not only I want to move, but my teammates also have to move, constantly interspersing and pulling the defense line. So as the overall advancement, no matter whether the player has the ball under his feet or not, he plays a vital role on the court."

In the past, when the tactics were not intact enough, some players were allowed to be invisible, and even Ronaldo could be invisible for a game and scored a goal in the end, it didn't matter because the impact was not big, but now it's different. Now, the overallization is being implemented, and a person's running is not active, which greatly affects the team's overall control.

Suppose the team is compared to a whole composed of ll people, the goalkeepers are deducted from ten people, and the standard running is ten kilometers, that is, the total running distances of a team in a game are 100 kilometers, then the question is, what if one of the players only ran five kilometers?

If this team wants to continue to maintain his control, then the five kilometers he runs less will have to be shared by nine other players, or a few people, or one of the players will share it. If no players share the five kilometers, the team's control will decline.

"Of course, what I'm talking about is a hypothetical concept, the purpose is to describe the operation of holistic football more vividly, but I believe you have a deep understanding of it. That is, football today is no longer the kind of one-on-one era in the past that focuses on one-on-one."

"Similar to Pele, Maradona, and Ronaldo, the era of leading a team to completely defeat the opponent by one person is no longer there. Even at the extreme, it is impossible for a king like Pele and Maradona to appear in the current football tactical system unless there is another round of change in the future."

"So, think about it again. What is the most important thing about all the offensive players you encounter? What is the hardest thing to defend for defensive players?"

Even now, Ye Qiu never forgot to take the exam for these two young central defenders. Of course, it is not that he can't answer it, or if he doesn't answer it well, he will lose points. He wants them to think about this question by themselves.
