Tottenham Hotspur harvested diamond iron gate in a key game, Brazilian central defender interprets the best in Europe with actions
This is some reports from major media outlets in Europe and England the next day after Tottenham Hotspur beat Chelsea 0 away. But it is very regrettable that Tottenham Hotspur, who has always been good at enjoying the treatment of front-page headlines, gave up its front-page headlines this time. The reason is very simple. Manchester United finally won the epic game.
As Ye Qiu has been saying before, although Ferguson's team is full of internal problems, as long as there is an external force to impact it, it may lead to orderly overall Manchester United and stimulate internal unity.
So even after defeating Manchester United at 0, Ye Qiu still said in an interview that all Ferguson needed was a refreshing victory, and Ferguson himself knew this very clearly, so he had been waiting patiently.
This battle finally happened, but it was not a hearty victory, but a narrow victory.
In the Manchester derby, with Manchester City spending a lot of money to sign ups, the strength of both sides has been quickly narrowed, and the gap between them has shortened, making Manchester fans attach great importance to this game. There are even quite a lot of Manchester City fans who hope that Manchester City can lose Manchester United away and are trampled by Manchester United in the past.
If we look at it simply from the perspective of the cards, Manchester City does have such strength, but unfortunately, there is a saying that is right. If a soldier is a soldier and a bunch of bears, Manchester City led by Mark Hughes is always an A Dou who cannot help but cannot be trusted at critical moments.
Manchester United scored the goal in the second minute at the Old Trafford Stadium, but soon Manchester City equalized the score. Before the end of the first half, Manchester United scored another goal and entered the second half with the lead with the lead
But at the beginning of the second half, Manchester City equalized the score again, and then Manchester United scored the first goal again. Manchester City equalized the score, and they were in a stalemate. Manchester City's third goal had already occurred in stoppage time. At this time, you only need to stabilize your position and you can completely escape from the away game.
But at the critical moment, Mark Hughes's team was still unreliable. Irving's key final victory allowed Manchester United to win this epic victory. After three leads and three equalizers, the Red Devils endured the pressure, showed their foundation and spiritual strength, and ultimately killed the enemy Manchester City.
After the game, Ferguson was so excited that he was like a child, dancing and looking very excited, and kept telling reporters that this victory would sound the horn of Manchester United's counterattack. Manchester United, the strongest in the new season, has sounded the assembly call.
Of course, the old guy Ferguson will inevitably step on Mark Hughes, the former disciple, and at the same time, he will slam the sharpness of Manchester City. This guy even did not forget to talk nonsense.
"You know, to us, Manchester City is like a noisy neighbor all day long. They always receive media attention and there are always endless topics to talk about. What can you do with such neighbors? I tell you, it's very simple. Turn on the TV and turn on the sound to the maximum, which is very satisfying."
Obviously not everyone can appreciate Ferguson's humor. At least Ye Qiu couldn't notice it. On the contrary, it would be difficult for him to feel relaxed when he thinks of the old guy's arrogant look after winning the game.
Manchester United, this is a team with magic. Although Manchester United started a bad start this season, once this team showed magic, it will burst out with a very terrible force. This is a force that any competitor can't ignore after Manchester United's domination of Premier League football over the past twenty years.
Although the game was defeated by Manchester United to win the front page, Tottenham Hotspur's performance still won unanimous recognition and praise from the media, because Tottenham Hotspur has won six consecutive victories so far this season.
In the past six games, Tottenham Hotspur has encountered Liverpool, Hul City, West Ham United, Birmingham, Manchester United and Chelsea, and has encountered three teams in the traditional semi-finals of the Premier League. West Ham United is also a force for the rise of the Premier League this season, and its strength cannot be underestimated.
From the opponent, we can see that Tottenham Hotspur is currently the leader of the Premier League with six consecutive victories, which is definitely worth a lot of gold. And many fans have already given Tottenham Hotspur the top favorite of the Premier League this season, and believe that as long as the North London team continues to maintain the current momentum, defending the Premier League will not be difficult.
But compared with Tottenham's outstanding performance, the team's progress in many aspects makes people feel extremely optimistic about his future development prospects.
"In the past six Premier League rounds, Tottenham Hotspur has scored a total of 23 goals, but only conceded two goals. These two goals were also conceded in the first and second rounds of Liverpool and Hul City, so we can clearly see the improvement in defense of Tottenham Hotspur."
"Long before the season started, Ye Qiu said in an interview that he hoped to strengthen the team's defense in the new season. This was interpreted by many people as Ye Qiu's more conservative game strategy, but judging from Tottenham's past six games, it is not difficult to find that the North London team has not become conservative at all, and offense is still the life of this team."
"So, what changes have happened to this team?"
"The answer may be in the defensive system"
"We have always said that Tottenham Hotspur is a team that focuses on offense and light defense, but from this season, Tottenham Hotspur has obviously pursued a reasonable tactical system of balanced offense and defense. This season, Tottenham Hotspur was able to score 23 league goals on the offensive end, and its excellent attack power averaged nearly four goals per game is inseparable from their indestructible end."
"In fact, as early as last season, Cech once set a great record of goals conceded. At that time, many people's impression of this record was that they remained on Cech, but many people also felt that Tottenham's defensive system has become mature and stable, especially the entire defense line with Thiago Silva as the core."
"In this game against Chelsea, we can see this change more intuitively. With the defense line led by Thiago Silva, when facing the impact of offensive players such as Drogba, Anelka, and Ashavin, they did almost nothing to lose in defense, and did not give the opponent any chance, and finally sealed Chelsea in no time."
"Compared with Tottenham's strong offense, defense has always been regarded as a weakness and a shortcoming, but judging from the past period and the performance this season, we have absolutely reason to believe that Tottenham's overall defense level has been improved and strengthened, and at least their defense is not inferior to any other European giants now."
Not only did England's journalists and media give high praise to Tottenham Hotspur's defense improvement and changes, but also famous columnists such as Martin Samuel and Jonathan Wilson gave full recognition, especially Jonathan Wilson, who deeply analyzed Tottenham Hotspur's defensive system in his own column.
Because he once wrote about the reversal pyramid, Jonathan Wilson was praised and sought after by countless fans who love tactical analysis. He himself has considerable attainments in tactics. He analyzed in the column that Tottenham Hotspur's defensive system contains a strong Italian chain defense concept.
"For a long time, Tottenham Hotspur's defense has attached great importance to cutting the route, which is also a typical defensive idea of Dutch football. However, since Mauro Tassoti came to Tottenham Hotspur from AC Milan, we have begun to notice that Ye Qiu pays more attention to the system in defense, and he has been working hard to find the orderly integration of three lines into a offensive and defensive system."
"He once said that the ideal football should have the integrity of the Bundesliga, the passion of the Premier League, the rigorous tactics of Italy, and the delicate skills of La Liga, but this is very simple to say, but it is very difficult to do. The reason is very simple. Many things themselves are conflicting, such as the passion of the Premier League and the rigorous Italy, which is a contradiction."
"But we noticed that on the defensive level, Ye Qiu added a chain reaction based on Tottenham's focus on running cutting, which means that he made the entire midfield and backcourt of the team into a system similar to a domino, and no matter which point you face with the ball, you will face the entire card directly."
"Because even if you pass this point in front of you, you will soon usher in the next defensive point, which will still try every means to stop you from threatening their goal. Through this chain reaction, it is linked together and forces you to be unable to attack as you wish. This is definitely the essence of Italian defense."
Jonathan Wilson also published a few screenshots in the column to explain his analysis, but in fact, the entire tactical system is very complex and cannot be clearly stated in a few words. Otherwise, Mauro Tasotti would not have spent so long to create and improve it.
In fact, after Ye Qiu decided to invite Mauro Tasotti to London to coach, more than three years have passed in a blink of an eye. Many people think that Mauro Tasotti is just serving as an assistant coach next to Ye Qiu, but in fact, he is also Ye Qiu's tactical adviser and is also responsible for the team's defensive system construction.
It can be said that Tottenham Hotspur has quite a lot of things, all of which can be traced back to the graduation thesis of Mauro Tassoti, from which you can find shadows, including weak side protection, rapid conversion of multi-layer and single-layer defensive echelons, protection and game, etc. These can all be found from Mauro Tassoti.
For more than three years, Tottenham Hotspur has been exploring and has been studying a defensive system that suits them. Because different teams have different technical and tactical styles, different technical and tactical styles require different defensive systems. If you use Manchester United's defense to put it on Barcelona, it will be strange if it works.
So, now, the formation of Tottenham Hotspur’s defense is just the result of the accumulation of the past three years
Ye Qiu always respects the so-called analysis and tactical analysis. He doesn't want to talk about it, because it's very simple, it's better to maintain a certain degree of mystery.
It's like he likes watching movies, but he never advocates over-interpretation of film reviews, especially by stuffing a lot of seemingly plausible things into the movies. There may be many things that the director has never thought of before, but you are good, what you think of is great enough
Therefore, many media and journalists from outside, especially on the Internet, have many tactical enthusiasts pondering Tottenham Hotspur’s defense and tactics. There is even an extreme fan who slowly analyzes the live broadcast of the game. But hasn’t he ever thought that the game scene can only reflect part of the facts?
Of course, Ye Qiu is quite welcome in this kind of attention. After all, this is good for Tottenham Hotspur and can attract more fans. Why not do it?
After playing the sixth round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur has firmly taken the lead in the league and immediately ushered in the knockout match of the top 32 of the League Cup. Tottenham Hotspur's opponent this time is Preston, a team from the English Championship.
Ye Qiu still arranged the starter of young players and substitutes in this game as usual. As a result, the cowhide was not bragging, and the train was not pushed. Tottenham Hotspur beat Preston with a neat net and successfully advanced to the next round.
What made Ye Qiu even more satisfied was that Cavani scored a hat trick, with Hazard and Kompani each scoring a goal.
Originally, with Falcao's state booming, Ye Qiu was worried that Cavani would be stimulated, so he decided to arrange for two strikers to rotate appropriately. After all, maintaining the state and competitiveness will be beneficial to Tottenham Hotspurs' completion of this season, but now it seems that Cavani seems to be holding his anger in his arms to vent.
In this League Cup match against Preston, Cavani completely decided on the game. One person created four goals, three shots and one pass, without any ambiguity, and directly sent Preston back to his hometown, while Tottenham Hotspur successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.
After the game, Ye Qiu also focused on praising Cavani and several young players in the team. In this game, players including Nastasic, Varane, Ramsey, Pogba and others all won the starters, and the performances of these young players were both good and bad, but overall, they were still OK.
Back in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur finally ushered in a weak team, the newly promoted Burnley, and it was still playing at home.
As a result, Tottenham Hotspur did not hold back at all at home, and sent the newly promoted Burnley home 0. Messi, who has performed a bit tepid in recent times, finally ushered in an explosion in this game. He scored four goals by himself and staged a big four. Ribery scored one goal and passed two passes, and Falcao also scored an assist.
Tottenham Hotspur is in a state of unstoppable victory, with a strong look. Manchester United, who has just come out of the trough, beat Stoke City steadily in this game. Ferguson's team still needs to adjust slowly to lay a solid foundation and avoid ups and downs in their state.
Three days later, in the second round of the Champions League group stage, Tottenham Hotspur welcomed Olympiacos at home. Ye Qiu made appropriate adjustments to the team's starting lineup and successfully defeated Olympiacos at his home court with the goals of Ribery, Messi, Cavani and Beckham, and won two consecutive wins in the group.
Back in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur challenged Bolton away.
This completely became a game of Falcao's goal-scoring game. Faced with Tottenham's attack like a wolf, Bolton's defense lasted for only more than half an hour, and was eventually captured by Marcelo's goal.
Although Bolton still fought stubbornly and caused a lot of trouble to Tottenham's offense, in the 69th minute and 78th minute of the second half, Colombia center Romedal Falcao scored twice, helping Tottenham to expand the score to 0.
But after consecutive goals, Tottenham still did not intend to stop temporarily. Following closely, the young player Hazard, who came on the bench, won another goal for Tottenham Hotspur, successfully locking the total score at 40.
This has almost become a rule over the past period of time. Falcao's goal drought is usually only maintained for one game, which means that if you don't score in this game, you will definitely score in the next game. However, both journalists, media, or fans obviously do not believe in evil. They always attack and question the Colombian center after Falcao failed to score, believing that he is going to fall into a goal drought, but soon, in the next game, Falcao used goals to prove his strength and slapped them in the face.
Ye Qiu is quite satisfied with the team's overall development momentum. He has a steady defense and a sophisticated offense. Ribery and Messi seem to perform less well than Falcao, mainly because they scored less than Falcao's goals, but in terms of specific performance, they obviously have to beat Falcao. This can be seen from the fact that the two won the best games in the game than Falcao.
Professionals judge the best player not only by the number of goals, but more by combining your overall performance and performance. At this point, Messi and Ribery's performance is more worthy of recognition.
At least, Falcao's ability to score continuously has a huge relationship with the support of the two of them.
