Chapter 565

The 10:0 victory over Roberto Martinez made Tottenham completely popular, especially the top superstar Leo Messi, who performed a five-star winning streak, was once again hyped by the media.

Tottenham Hotspur is also happy to add fuel to the fire behind the scenes and help Messi win this year's World Footballer.

Three days later, Tottenham Hotspur played in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage with a lineup of all substitutes and young players, defeating Standard Liege 0 at home. After the main lineup received sufficient rest, in the 14th round of the Premier League on the weekend, in the away game of Aston Villa, the 0-unsurprising defeat of Aston Villa was knocked down by 0 without any suspense, and continued to maintain an unbeaten record.

It was after this round of matches that French football magazine was the first to announce a list of the top ten superstars shortlisted in the European Golden Ball Awards, including Real Madrid's Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo, Barcelona's Xavi and Van Persie; Inter Milan's only Ibrahimovic was selected; while the Premier League included Chelsea's Drogba, Liverpool's Gerard, and Tottenham's Messi, Ribery and Fabregas.

Tottenham Hotspur should be the biggest winner of this roster, because in addition to the three superstars currently included in the team, more importantly, Van Persie was also able to be shortlisted for this roster due to Tottenham Hotspur’s wonderful performance. From this point of view, it is not difficult to see Tottenham Hotspur’s star-making strength and level.

On the contrary, after sending Cristiano Ronaldo away, although Manchester United introduced Rooney, it was indeed a bit embarrassing that no player from the Red Devils Manchester United was shortlisted. Many people even began to hype, believing that Manchester United was about to decline, but Ferguson sneered at this.

On the 1st of the month, after several days of continuous intensive hype and publicity, Messi was printed on the cover of French Football Magazine, which proved to almost everyone that this year's French Football Magazine's European Golden Globe Awards already belonged to the Argentine.

In this magazine, in addition to the disclosure of the award-winning process, the selection results were also announced to the public. Messi took the lead in the top spot, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Xavi ranked second and third respectively, which is consistent with the speculation from the outside world.

With the advent of the information age, the media is becoming more and more developed. It is becoming more and more difficult to continue to maintain a sense of mystery, and it is almost impossible. All fans have almost given the European Golden Ball Award to Messi, and the announcement of winning the award is just a formality.

Tottenham Hotspur's first match in December was Manchester United. The knockout match of the League Cup quarter-finals was held at the White Hart Lane Stadium. Ferguson arranged for young players such as Brown, Anderson, Gibson, Obertan, and Wilbeck to start, which clearly means using the Cup to train.

Ye Qiu also did not arrange for the main lineup to play, but arranged for young players such as Varane, Nastasic, Ramsey, Hazard, Kyle Walker, Pogba, Phil Jones to start, and directly compete with Manchester United for the strength of the second team.

In the end, Tottenham Hotspur, who had better defense, defeated Manchester United by 0. The trident composed of Macheda, Obertan and Verbeck was almost unable to have a good chance in the defensive lineup led by Varane, Nastasic and Phil Jones. In the end, he lost to Manchester at the White Hart Lane Stadium and was eliminated from the League Cup by Tottenham Hotspur.

Especially the central defender combination of Nastasic and Varane, he withstood the test of Manchester United's young ball attacker in this game and steadily ensured that the goal was not lost. Especially the excellent physical conditions and air-control ability of Serbian central defender were eye-catching, and he won the title of Vidic II after the game.

French central defender Varane is also a young central defender recently launched by Ye Qiu. He has excellent physical fitness, no shortcoming in speed and explosiveness, and his skills are also solid and stable. He looks very much like Zieglinsky in the first team or Pique in Barcelona.

However, the most impressive thing in this game was the midfield combination of Phil Jones, Pogba and Ramsey.

Although they are all young players, Tottenham Hotspur's midfielder beat Manchester United's Park Ji-sung, Anderson and Gibson to a beating. The Red Devils' midfielder was suppressed by Tottenham Hotspur midfielders, and almost failed to find their state and rhythm in the whole game.

Phil Jones was as passionate as ever and as fierce as ever, while Pogba used a sudden powerful shot from behind to break through Manchester United's goal, winning recognition from the outside world. After the game, many media called Yaya Toure II, and started to rotate in the first team this season.

The victory of this game has also given the outside media great attention to Tottenham's youth training camp again, especially the many young players emerging in the team, which have shown impressive strength. It should be noted that in the past few years, Tottenham has cultivated outstanding players such as Gareth Bale, Hazard, and Ramsey.

Compared with Manchester United, young people are basically eighteen or nineteen years old, Tottenham Hotspur’s Pogba, Nastasic and Varane are all sixteen years old, while 19-year-old Ramsey and 18-year-old Eden Hazard have already gained a foothold in the first team, which is a clear difference from Manchester United’s youth training policy.

Ferguson has always emphasized that Manchester United attaches importance to youth training丨But in fact, in the past few years, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal have the greatest efforts to promote young players. The latter is subject to financial restrictions and is forced to do so. Tottenham Hotspur is actively promoting young players, and at the same time, selling off the team stars at the right time in exchange for high transfer fees.

Ye Qiu once said before that young players are becoming more and more precocious. Many players are psychologically no different from young people in their twenties in the past, so they will begin to have some requirements for themselves, such as playing in the first team game, and making more contributions to the team.

“We need to keep creating more opportunities and growth space for these young players emerging

So Tottenham Hotspur is not hesitant to sell any player in the team, because again in the echelon soon emerged.

There is another reason Ye Qiu never said to the outside world, that is, some semi-finished products introduced from the outside world, such as Pogba, Nastasic and Varane, who are often around the age of eighteen. If they still don’t see hope of entering the first team, they will begin to become centrifugal and even choose to leave the team.

Introducing semi-finished youth training丨There are huge benefits. First of all, because they have proved their strength and potential in some aspects, so this kind of semi-finished youth training has a very high yield rate. It can even be said that as long as you guide and help appropriately, they will be able to become successful quickly and have a relatively small risk.

But the downside is that they often choose you because they think you can give them a chance. If you let them see this opportunity, they will choose other teams, and their loyalty will be relatively low.

Therefore, Ye Qiu's attitude is very clear. As long as the young rookies in the team show enough strength and potential, I will give you a chance. No matter whether you are sixteen or eighteen years old, as long as you show it, I will give you a chance to enter the first team, participate in rotation and substitute, and accumulate experience.

Of course, if you have enough ability to show your ability to play the main players in substitutes and rotations, such as Gareth Bale, or Falcao replaces Cavani this season, then I will let you play the main players.

It should be said that this is the most sincere and effective talent echelon promotion plan that Ye Qiu can give.

But Ferguson obviously doesn't think so. He still prefers to join the first team to rotate when young players are in their early 20s or even around 22 years old. Because the players are relatively mature and stable at this time, their technical and tactical styles have also been formed, and they have strong strength.

So whether it is Velbeck or Macheda, they have not performed in the league and the Champions League yet. However, although this group of young men of Tottenham Hotspur are only sixteen years old, they have already played in the league. With Tottenham Hotspur performing well in the Champions League, in the last round, the sixth round of the Champions League group stage, Ye Qiu has decided to arrange for them to start all of them.

Playing the Cup at the age of 16 is already a huge temptation for young players. If they are arranged to play in the Champions League and the Premier League, the young players will definitely be more attentive.

Of course, young people cannot be tolerant and trust, and at the same time, they must be given some appropriate pressure. The greatest and most effective pressure is to make them feel the almost cruel competition of the first team.

Tottenham Hotspur met with a star-studded Manchester City, but the two-round semi-finals were held in January 2010, so there is no need to consider it for the time being.

Back in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur challenged Everton away. Tottenham Hotspur, with a strong man and a strong man, fell Everton away in 4l. Messi, who just won the European Golden Ball Award, scored twice, Ribery and Falcao each scored a goal.

The team went to Greece in the middle of the week to challenge Olympiacos away.

Ye Qiu fulfilled his promise to young players before playing Manchester United in this game, that is, to arrange young players and substitute lineups to start, including Nastasic, Varane, Hazard, Ramsey, Pogba, Phil Jones and other players, and all of them were started, and the team's deputy captain Beckham led the team.

But because of too many young players, Tottenham Hotspur lost away and lost to Olympiacos in 0I.

Ye Qiu didn't say much about this loss. In an interview with the media after the game, he still told the group of young players in the team that he believed that the young people were full of vitality and passion. Losing the game would not affect his trust in the young players, and he would continue to give young players more opportunities for games and space for play in the future.

Ye Qiu also defended the two young central defenders for making mistakes in the game, which led to the team's goal loss, believing that everyone has the responsibility to lose the game, and should not be blamed just for the young people.

After all, it's still insufficient strength

Ye Qiu is very clear that even if you encounter opponents in the Champions League, especially away games, even if you encounter opponents who are obviously inferior to yours, the game will be difficult to play, let alone if you are a group of young players who are completely inexperienced, you are simply looking for a draw by yourself.

But it must be clearly seen that losing is actually an experience. At least young players have played in the Champions League early. This experience and this lesson will make them more mature in the future, and at the same time urge them to continue to make progress.

Back in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur continued to maintain a strong goal momentum, losing Wolves at home with a net-clear 40, expanding its unbeaten record to 16 games.

In the 16th game, 15 wins and one draw, Tottenham Hotspur was far ahead of the Premier League standings with 46 points, while Chelsea ranked second in the 16th game, 11 wins and one draw and four losses. The Blues scored 34 points, down to Tottenham Hotspur by as many as 12 points, which is also seen by the outside world as a basis for Tottenham Hotspur to win the Premier League championship.

Manchester United scored 31 points, while Arsenal only had 28 points, followed by Aston Villa, Manchester City, Liverpool, West Ham United and Birmingham. Among them, Martin O'Neal's Aston Villa, whose performance this season is indeed surprising and currently ranks fifth.

After playing the 16th round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspurs will postpone the Premier League in the 17th and 18th rounds because they will soon go to the UAE to participate in the World Club Champions League. These two rounds of the league have conflicts with the Club World Cup in terms of schedule, so it is temporarily postponed.

As the biggest club in the Club World Cup, Tottenham Hotspur has received great attention from the outside world since the beginning and has been forced by FIFA to send all the main players to play, because this is the obligation of the Champions League champion.

Tottenham Hotspur's business department also regarded this trip to Abu Dhabi as an important attempt for the team to develop the commercial market in the Middle East, because the results of the Middle East team in the summer are not very obvious, because it is more like a business match that is easy to go on. But this time it is different, this time it is a battle for the world champion.

Not only Tottenham Hotspur attaches great importance to it, Qatar Airways also attaches great importance to this trip to Tottenham Hotspur to the Middle East, and has conducted a series of promotions and publicity with Tottenham Hotspur in advance to warm up the club's arrival.

In addition to all the players and coaching teams of the first team, this time, the club's important management and business team also rushed to the UAE, not only to win the championship, but also to further develop the Middle East market. After all, the oil corps here are rich.

After arriving in Abu Dhabi, senior government officials in the UAE, FIFA executives, and even Alfasim of the Abu Dhabi consortium all entered the training camp of Tottenham Hotspur, not only watched a training class for Tottenham Hotspur, but also had a round of exchanges with Ye Qiu, Peter Kenion and others.

Among them, Alfasim asked Ye Qiu's opinions on the current Manchester City issue.

Although they are competitors at the Premier League level, Ye Qiu and Alfasim obviously will not be fooled in such matters. Ye Qiu also bluntly told Alfasim that the biggest problem at present is not the player lineup, but the head coach.

"A good and qualified head coach can integrate a team in the shortest time. Even if the results are bad, at least he can let everyone clearly see his intentions and tactical framework. But from last season to now, I have not seen even a slight overall situation from Manchester City. This is the responsibility of the head coach."

Alfasim expressed his gratitude for Ye Qiu's advice. He did not say whether he would listen, but he was very polite and polite to wish Tottenham to successfully win the Club World Cup and continue to win more championships

In fact, Tottenham Hotspur beat Atlanta, the champion team of the Central, North America and the Caribbean Champions League 0 in the first game of the Club World Cup. This veteran Mexican team finally defeated the champion team of Oceania, Oakland City, but it was difficult to threaten Tottenham Hotspur's goal in the semi-finals.

The huge gap in strength was so good that Tottenham Hotspur won the first game. In the final, they encountered the La Plata University Students led by Juan Perron. This Argentine team, the Liberta Cup champion, brought a lot of trouble to Tottenham Hotspur in the game.

After all, it was the sequelae brought by a long journey. In addition, the strength of the La Plata university student team is indeed not weak, so this game was very difficult. Tottenham Hotspur was in a passive situation on the scene, especially Peron, who performed well and eye-catchingly in this team.

But in the end, Cavani's goal helped Tottenham Hotspur defeat La Plata's college students and successfully defended the Club World Cup championship. He won the championship trophy for two consecutive seasons, and became the first team in the history of the Club World Cup to successfully defend the title.

This honor made Tottenham Hotspur highly recognized by FIFA President Blatter after the game, who made it clear that he was a fan of Messi. Blatter also took the initiative to explain Messi's poor performance in the Club World Cup final, believing that this was mainly caused by excessive fatigue.

With Blatt himself supporting him, Messi, who just won the European Golden Ball Award, looks like he is the number one hottest player for the World Footballer. After all, in the past year, Messi deserves his reputation for winning the World Footballerer, whether in terms of honor or performance.

In order to support Messi, Ye Qiu also supported his beloved disciple in an interview, believing that Messi should win the World Footballer because he is the best player in the past season and deserves recognition

Not only that, all the players of Tottenham Hotspur first-team, plus senior executives such as Ye Qiu, Peter Kenyon, and Ron Gurley, decided to fly directly from Abu Dhabi to Zurich to support Messi to win the award.

On the contrary, Messi himself seemed to have encountered some trouble in front of his personal grand prize.
