Ferguson's Manchester United are always good at making efforts after Christmas, which is something that everyone familiar with the Premier League knows.

Manchester United and Arsenal are like two completely different teams. The Gunners often start very amazing, but they declined rapidly after the winter break. No matter what the start, Manchester United's performance after the winter break always makes people admire this team.

Just like now, after Christmas, although Manchester United lost to Fulham before the festival, they soon defeated Hul City away in two rounds of the Premier League within three days after Christmas, and defeated Wigan Athletics at home, winning two consecutive victories, successfully defeating his opponent.

Although Ancelotti is a newcomer, his performance in the two rounds after Christmas was pretty good, winning and drawing, and getting four points. However, his ranking in the Premier League standings was pulled down by Manchester United. The Red Devils successfully caught up with Chelsea and climbed to the second place in the league standings.

Tottenham Hotspur's two rounds of schedule after Christmas were also one win and one draw. On the 26th, it drew against the same city team Fulham on the 26th. This also has something to do with Tottenham Hotspur traveling back and forth for a long time over the past period of time. In addition, the Christmas Carnival has more or less related. Ye Qiu is also very clear that the first game after Christmas is a very troublesome thing.

00 draws with Fulham, but soon Tottenham Hotspur beat Ranieri's West Ham United 0 at home and continued to maintain its position as the league leader. Not only that, after entering January, it immediately ushered in the FA Cup. Tottenham Hotspur's opponent is Peterborough United from the English Championship.

In the case of multi-line combat, the cup was insisted on using substitutes and young players, which was a strategy that Ye Qiu had formulated early. Therefore, in this FA Cup, Tottenham Hotspur still mainly uses young players, plus substitutes, and went to the away game to challenge the deputy squad leader who ranked at the bottom of the English Championship League.

As a result, Tottenham Hotspur beat Peterborough United 40 and successfully advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup.

The third round of the FA Cup knockout was held on January 2nd, that is, Saturday, and there was no match in the middle of the week, and the 21st round of the Premier League in the weekend. Therefore, Tottenham Hotspur was arranged to make up for the 17th round of the Premier League in the middle of the week. Tottenham Hotspur scored twice at the White Hart Lane Stadium, defeating Manchester City, who had just changed coaches, 0.

I don’t know if it was influenced by Ye Qiu’s previous words in Abu Dhabi, Manchester City finally made up their minds to kill Mark Hughes and fired the local English coach. Like Ye Qiu’s previous life, he invited Mancini.

After going back and forth, many things still cannot escape the influence of Ye Qiu's previous life, but this is not about reincarnation or something, but because there are not many famous coaches in football that can accept Manchester City's invitation. With all the plans, Mancini is the coach who best meets Manchester City's current requirements, and more importantly, he is now at home.

Famous coaches these days are a scarce product, especially those real first-line coaches, such as Ye Qiu, Mourinho, Ferguson, Wenger, Benitez, and Ancelotti. If you include those old-fashioned coaches, such as Lippi, Capello, Heathfield, etc., they will basically not move.

In other words, even if Manchester City has money now, they can't dig these great gods, so Manchester City can only settle for the second best, find some little gods, and look horizontally and vertically, Mancini, who performed well in Lazio and helped Inter Milan win the Serie A championship in a row, is undoubtedly a relatively suitable candidate. He is barely considered a famous European coach.

Looking at the European football scene this season, among all the teams that have changed coaches, there are actually two that can attract Ye Qiu's attention, one is Chelsea's Ancelotti, and the other is Real Madrid's Pellegrini. As for Mancini who came to Manchester City halfway, Ye Qiu thinks that the Italian head coach has a good ability, but it is difficult to create surprises.

It’s not that Mancini does not have enough ability and tactical literacy. On the contrary, Mancini’s coaching ability must be, and the Italian head coach has never been a problem in tactical literacy. The key is Mancini’s temper and his control over the locker room, which are all problems. Moreover, Mancini’s use of troops rarely surprises people.

This is also the characteristic of many Italian head coaches.

Why does Ye Qiu pay more attention to Ancelotti?

A very important reason is that Ancelotti is another head coach who attaches great importance to technology and creativity after Ye Qiu. While Chelsea's lineup has always maintained the framework created by Ye Qiu back then, Ye Qiu is looking forward to how much Ancelotti can do.

However, judging from the progress of this season, Ancelotti still has adaptation problems, especially to the Premier League, but it has stimulated Chelsea's attack power. The Blues' current attack strength is higher than Manchester United, second only to Tottenham Hotspur.

Pellegrini is another type of head coach. He can often bring surprises to you, but once you start to have high expectations for him because of surprises, he may disappoint you. The reason is very simple. Ye Qiu always felt that Pellegrini had problems with player control.

Many people say that Ye Qiu is good at controlling the players' condition. The team lost fewer injuries in key games, and the players were in general good condition, and the team was able to play a reasonable level, which means that the head coach was well regulated, and this requires the head coach to control the team from all aspects and fields, and form a reasonable and effective cooperation mechanism with the players and coaching team.

In the 200910 season in Ye Qiu's previous life, Pellegrini coached Real Madrid, which was definitely a successful season. Even Ye Qiu has always believed that if Florentino had not put pressure on Pellegrini, if Chilean engineers could get a more relaxed coaching environment and longer trust, Real Madrid would not need Mourinho at all.

Why do you say so?

One of the most powerful evidence is that when Pellegrini coached Real Madrid, he lost two league games at Barcelona, ​​but after the league ended, the gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona in the standings was only three points.

Perhaps, everyone has no impression that it is not just six points to defeat Barcelona, ​​because Barcelona won six points, Real Madrid lost six points, twelve points in one go, and in the end they lost three points, which means that Real Madrid performed much better than Barcelona in the two century derby games.

Of course, losing the Century Derby, losing the King's Cup in shame, and ending in the Champions League quarterfinals in a row, all reflects Pellegrini's flaws and shortcomings, that is, the key games, his ability to adjust the team's state and activate the players' fighting spirit is insufficient.

But none of these can conceal the amazingness of Pellegrini's first season in coaching Real Madrid, because he was a new arrival and did not have an impressive resume. In addition, there are many internal problems and contradictions in Real Madrid, so these defects and shortcomings can be forgiven and given him more time to make up for it.

But it is very regrettable that Pellegrini's Real Madrid journey ended abruptly after one season.

It is not difficult to find an interesting problem from the above cases, that is, changing coaches often represents pain and reorganization, and may even lead to the team experiencing turmoil.

Ye Qiu has always had a clear plan for his career. He has ideals and pursuits, but he also has a career and family. So he knows very well that he cannot stay in the position of Tottenham Hotspur head coach until Ferguson's age. What he wants to do most now is to build all aspects of Tottenham Hotspur. Whether it is the team's management power distribution or the team's entire tactical offensive and defensive system, he must build this foundation.

And he has been cultivating his future successor, that is Mauro Tassoti

Ye Qiu has now gradually handed over the training to Mauro Tasotti to be fully responsible. He just told Mauro Tasotti what he wanted, and then let Mauro Tasotti play and adjust. He is establishing Mauro Tasotti's authority in this way, and then examining Mauro Tasotti's various abilities from the side.

For example, how capable is he to deal with relationships with players in the team? How well does he cooperate with other people in the coaching staff? How capable is he to adapt and handle when facing some key games or when the team is in emergencies?

This will not be a very short period of time. Even if Mauro Tassoti is about to be fifty years old now, just like his predecessor Capello, what he is doing now is a kind of accumulation, and the purpose of accumulation is to be the first to take over in the future. After being alone, he can quickly take over the scepter from Ye Qiu and become the head coach of Tottenham Hotspur.

In Ye Qiu's positioning, the team's head coach is like the soul of a team, just like the CEO of a multinational company. He must be carefully selected, multiple assessments, and has extremely rich experience. But more importantly, he must understand and be able to successfully control the team.

After defeating Manchester City 0, Tottenham Hotspur quickly ushered in the 21st round of the Premier League, and the team challenged Liverpool away. However, this time, Tottenham Hotspur and Benitez's team tied in a l draw and failed to defeat their opponents. But what's interesting is that Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea all tied, while Manchester City beat Blackburn in 4ls.

In the middle of the week, the League Cup semi-finals were ushered in. Tottenham Hotspur continued to play with a young lineup and challenged Manchester City from Mancini away. As a result, the strong Manchester City defeated the visiting Tottenham Hotspur at its home court with two goals from Adebayo.

Although he failed to defeat his opponent away, the performance of Tottenham Hotspur's teenagers is still impressive.

In the whole first half, Tottenham Hotspur was the best performance. This group of young players not only limited Manchester City's offense well in defense, but also played a very threatening offensive in the offense. Hazard scored the first goal for Tottenham Hotspur in the 27th minute.

But the situation turned around as the first half approached the end of the first half. Nastasis and Varane made a fatal mistake when defending Adebayo. Wright Phillips broke through Coentran on the right and made a cross. Adebayo defeated Nastasic in the battle for the top and flew to Bellamy. Varane pushed Bellamy down with a missed person.

Although the referee did not give a red card, he only warned Varane, but gave Manchester City a penalty kick. Adebayo personally took the penalty and scored the first record for Manchester City.

This conceding hit the morale of Tottenham Hotspur's group of young players. Even though Ye Qiu kept encouraging the players during the half-time break, in the second half, the Tottenham Hotspur's group of young players still performed very poorly, while Mancini took the opportunity to encourage the team to push forward.

In the end, in the 75th minute, Adebayo won another goal, helping Manchester City complete the reversal.

At the post-match press conference, Ye Qiu gave high praise to the performance of young players, believing that all teams would not feel relaxed when playing Manchester City away, because Manchester City is already a very strong team in the Premier League. This team has very outstanding stars and its overall strength is also quite outstanding.

"I am satisfied with the team's performance, especially this group of young players. I can clearly feel their progress. It is really a pity to lose the game, but I want to say that this is just the first round of the game. We still have the second round, and I will not adjust the team's lineup in the second round, because I firmly believe that this group of young people is worth my trust. We will eliminate Manchester City from the League Cup at the White Hart Lane Stadium. I believe it."

Ye Qiu's words immediately caused an uproar among all reporters. He announced the starting lineup a week in advance, and did not intend to change the team's lineup and continued to play with this young lineup. I really don't know if Ye Qiu was too confident? Or did he really believe that this group of young players can create miracles.

You should know that any Manchester City lineup is a famous European star. In Tottenham Hotspur's starting lineup, the biggest player is Beckham, but everyone knows that Beckham is already old, and whether it is Pogba, Phil Jones, Ramsey, Hazard, Nastasic or Varane, they are obviously just young players with potential.

On the second day of the League Cup, when all the reporters and media interpreted Ye Qiu's words, they all believed that Ye Qiu had decided to use this League Cup to bet on the young players' tomorrow. He insisted that he wanted to use this key battle to motivate young players and help them accumulate richer game experience

"After all, for Tottenham Hotspur, the League Cup and the FA Cup are always just training grounds."

After the first leg of the League Cup, he returned to London from Manchester, Tottenham Hotspur teamed at the White Hart Lane Stadium with all the main lineups, and welcomed Hul City.

What surprised everyone was that Tottenham Hotspur, who played at home, played Hul City from the beginning, had no resistance from the beginning. Just eight minutes into the game, Falcao scored the first record for Tottenham Hotspur, followed closely by Ribery, Marcelo and David Silva, and established a four-goal lead early in the first half.

In the second half, Tottenham Hotspur's offensive remained unabated, David Silva won another goal and scored twice. Then Falcao and Fabregas also scored goals one after another, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Hul City 0 at home.

The unlucky Hul City encountered Tottenham Hotspur twice in a row this season, and both games ended in a crushing defeat, which also made Steve Bruce, who took office in the middle of the season, was extremely frustrated by the former Birmingham head coach and Ferguson's favorite disciple. At the post-match press conference, he even said that the team had tried its best to snipe Tottenham Hotspur, but could never threaten the home team, and he was powerless to do anything about it.

Ye Qiu even mentioned with a smile that when Tottenham Hotspur was competing for the league championship with Manchester United, it was Steve Bruce and his Birmingham who sniped Tottenham Hotspur at a critical moment and helped Manchester United. Before this game, Steve Bruce also wanted to play again in the old tune, but Tottenham Hotspur obviously would not give him such a chance.

"We are no longer the Tottenham Hotspur team back then," Ye Qiu said with a proud smile with confidence.

Tottenham Hotspur beat Hul City, and Chelsea and Manchester United also defeated their opponents one after another, followed by the two teams still refused to relax, especially Manchester United. After Christmas, the Red Devils' performance has also improved greatly, especially the team's overall offensive and defensive system, which looks much more orderly. After Christmas, the four rounds of the league remained unbeaten with three wins and one draw.

Moreover, after Christmas, Ferguson insisted on starting with Las Diarra for four consecutive games. The performance of this French midfielder also improved considerably at the beginning of the season. He was very stable and experienced in defense, and his ability to play the ball was excellent. Although he still stuck to the ball occasionally, he missed the opportunity to fight, it can be seen that Ferguson was constantly beating the midfielder.

Not only Las Diara has changed, but Sneijder has also returned to the main lineup. He and Carrick have formed a strong complement. England's midfielder is behind, while Sneijder has been put in front, and the two have played their respective characteristics well. In addition, Las Diara, who has excellent interception skills in the midfield, has greatly improved Manchester United's midfield.

The midfielder was hard, and the trident composed of Tevez, Benzema and Rooney in the frontcourt was becoming more and more aggressive. In this game against Burnley, Manchester United scored three goals by these three players, and the previous 5-0 victory over Wigan Athletics was also a match with the Trident.

All the signs are very clearly shown that after half a year of running-in and adjustment, this Manchester United team has finally reinstalled. No matter at any time, as long as Ferguson adjusts the team, the Red Devils and Manchester United will be the most powerful contender for the Premier League championship.

Ye Qiu could never forget that when Manchester United and Chelsea competed for the championship, Ferguson maintained victory in a row and finally caught up to the final feat. Although Tottenham Hotspur dropped Chelsea in the last round and gave Manchester United a league championship, the Red Devils' relentless pursuit before this and the chasing momentum of winning streaks left Ye Qiu very impressed.

In any case, Ye Qiu doesn't want Tottenham to become the Chelsea that year
