I have to say that Tottenham Hotspur is becoming more and more like a giant team.

You know, a League Cup championship was enough for Tottenham Hotspur fans in London were so excited that they were crazy for a long time, but now they didn't seem to have a League Cup championship at all, and they were eager to see the Premier League champion who was increasingly likely to win, and the Champions League champion who had been away for two years.

In fact, after selling Yaya or Toure, many people think that the possibility of Tottenham Hotspur winning the Champions League is very low.

Looking at all the teams, the teams that won the Champions League are basically teams with relatively balanced offense and defense, but Tottenham Hotspur's current offense is not to be said, but the defense problems are very big, especially in the midfielder position, Phil or Jones is still not convincing.

Many people even think that he has no strength to gain a foothold in the first team.

Is it Ye Qiu who pulls out seedlings to help grow? Or is the media misleading?

The fans were also guessing in their hearts, but it was a pity to sell Yaya O Toure, which is an indisputable fact.

While everyone in the entire English football world was arguing about Tottenham Hotspur’s issue, Tottenham Hotspur, who had just won the League Cup championship, announced a day off to allow the team to take a good rest.

But there are many people in the team who don’t think so, such as Raul and Beckham. These two veterans basically come to the training base every day. They need this kind of non-stop training to maintain their form. Even if they have played fewer games in a season, especially Beckham, he still does this.

There is only one purpose. Once you appear on the court, you must show your best side to the fans.

Phil o Jones also came to the training base.

The team did not train, but he could arrange his own training programs more freely. For example, after a series of warm-ups, he went directly to the training room because he found that the training room was of great help to his passing, stopping and reaction.

Of course, the premise is that you have to drive the serving speed faster, creating a very urgent feeling for yourself as if in the game, constantly facing the ball at high speed, and at the same time quickly adjusting and passing the ball to the appropriate position. These are very similar to the scenes that occur in actual combat games.

If you slow down, then this slow training is meaningless and more like playing.

After practicing for an hour, he was already sweating profusely, and his signature tide redness appeared on his face.

When the time for the ballroom was up, it was automatically turned off. He grabbed the towel to wipe his sweat while walking out of the ballroom.

Only then did he realize that there were two children outside the training room watching him train.

It has been a few years since I came to Tottenham Hotspur, and Phil Jones also knew very well that these two are Ye Qiu's two children, and they come to the team to participate in some children's activities every weekend.

"Hi" Phil o Jones squeezed out a look that thought it was naive, but actually a bit disgusting.

Little Huang Rong played with her tongue and grimaced her face, as if she was telling this thick man that this is cute and innocent, and that is yours. The disgusting and tender expression emperor.

"You are too slow." Ye Chen had an innocent expression that I told the truth.

Of course, Phil or Jones knew that Ye Chen was talking about his speed of training. Compared with Messi and others, he was indeed slow enough.

The fastest one should be Messi and Van Persie. Raul joined this season very quickly, and then Fabregas, Hazard, Ribery, Neymar and others were a little worse, but it was also very fast. Phil Jones's speed just now was already the limit for him, and it was much better than when he first joined Tottenham Hotspur, but it was still worse than many teammates.

In this regard, he is probably the worst in the team, and is about the same level as Thiago Silva, Cavani and Kompani, but if he is in another team, he is at least in the upper middle, which shows how high the overall technical level of Tottenham Hotspur is.

"That's why I have to practice, you know." Phil o Jones was very open-minded and didn't get angry when facing the criticism of children. At least it was completely different from his performance on the court.

In fact, he has long been used to this blow, because a lot of players on the youth team are much better than him on the technical level. To put it bluntly, the practice room is a dead thing. As long as your basic skills are solid enough, you can play here, but it may not be possible on the court. After all, there are many factors that determine the performance of the players on the court, and it is not all simulated by the practice room.

"I'm going to practice football, bye." Phil o Jones waved his hands at the two children, and before leaving, he didn't forget to pretend to be tender.

"Let's go with him, too." Sister Huang Rong pulled her younger brother to follow Phil o Jones.

This little girl doesn't like to participate in some activities. She always feels that those activities are all children's things. She is now all girls, so where can she play with a group of little kids who like to cry? Right

The two of them were relatively slow. When they arrived at the training ground, they saw that Phil or Jones had already started.

In the middle of a horizontal bar about four meters high, a hanging football was tied. Not far behind the horizontal bar was a horizontal bar more than two meters high. There were several horizontal bars fixed on it at different heights and positions, which seemed to be like gongs.

Phil O Jones was on the side of the horizontal bar tied with the football, and kept jumping up, pushing the ball with his head, letting the ball hit the gong, and if it hit, it would make a sound, and then the ball would be pulled back by the rubber band tied to it. Phil O Jones judged the situation of the ball, and then pushed it to hit the gong, and only he knew which position it hit.

"It's so boring" Huang Rong watched it on the sidelines very boring.

Xiao Yechen found it very interesting, especially when he heard the sound of the gong, he kept counting outside, "One, two, three... One hundred and one hundred and two, one hundred and three..." The boy was patient and sat on the sidelines watching Phil o Jones training, while his sister Huang Rong ran and played.

"Do you think it's very interesting?" Beckham walked up to him and sat down when the little devil was not paying attention, and asked with a smile.

Ye Chen nodded, his attention was on Phil o Jones. He was obviously thinking, why wouldn't he feel tired?

"I'll teach you how to play football?" Beckham has a good impression of Ye Qiu's son. He is very elegant and white, but he is very smart and likable. As for that girl, everything is good. When she grows up, she will definitely be a beautiful woman who is not inferior to her mother. But she is so good at speaking and likes to talk back.

Seeing Ye Qiu's two children, he and Victoria were envious and planned to have a daughter himself. The due date is July, and I hope they will be a girl who will not lose to this girl.

"Okay, but I have to wait until I counted." Xiao Ye Chen was very serious. When he spoke, he was still silently lying in his mind, so he didn't fall down.

"Then come here to find me here and I will play with you." Beckham feels that football is still a man's sport. Huang Rong doesn't like football, but Ye Chen likes football very much. I heard that he has to watch every Tottenham Hotspur game now, and his favorite player is Scarface Ribery. It is estimated that this has something to do with Ribery's frequent visits to his house.

Ye Qiu could see everything that happened on the training ground clearly in the coaching room on the second floor, because the coaching room was like his office, facing the training ground with huge tempered glass curtain walls, which could see everything on the training ground at a glance.

Of course, he couldn't hear clearly what they were saying, and his mind wasn't on it either.

He is currently in a meeting. In addition to Mauro Tasotti, Roland Shepars, there are also Bobby Hams who came from the Netherlands, as well as the team's chief scout Peter De Visel, and Peter Rant, the head of the Sports Research Center. It can be said that the core layer of the entire Tottenham Hotspur athletics field is here.

It's no wonder, because the topic they are discussing today is very serious and important, and will even affect the future development of Tottenham Hotspur, so everyone's face is very serious, not as funny as usual.

Ye Qiu plans to reorganize Tottenham Hotspur’s tactics

Everyone knows that two seasons ago, Tottenham Hotspur won the double championship in the Premier League and the Champions League. The team's tactics reached its peak, but after that, Tottenham Hotspur began to enter the stage of adjustment and a new round of exploration, but the effect was not very ideal.

Of course, there are many factors in this, such as the team has been selling people all the time, but the reason is that Ye Qiu and all the people present who are familiar with Ye Qiu's ideas know that it is not because of selling people, because if necessary, people can not sell them.

The reason why Tottenham Hotspur has been adjusting and exploring for the past two years is that Ye Qiu himself doesn't know what to do.

And one very big limitation is that Tottenham Hotspur has already improved and has a very stable tactical framework. Whether it is selling Van Persie, reusing Falcao, Kavani, or selling Ziglinsky and using Kompani, they are only partially adjusted in this tactical framework, and there is no major change.

Ye Qiu is thinking now that he needs to make a major change in the team's tactics.

"From a tactical perspective, we realized early on that we should be resilient." Ye Qiu explained why he decided to do this. "The so-called resilience can also be regarded as elasticity. When we hold the fight, we can play the strongest defense, and when we press, our pass, control, and cut off the attack can be invincible."

Many people may think this is a contradiction, but it is not, because whether it is Tottenham Hotspur or Manchester United last season, they are actually very resilient teams with excellent tactical elasticity.

So, what exactly causes this resilience?

It's the midfield

To put it bluntly, any team integrates the front offense and the defense behind them through the midfield, so only by creating a resilient midfield can they have a resilient tactical style.

"I want to say that our current technological tendency is too much. We are losing this resilience, even when Yaya O Toure is there, and his departure only made us discover this problem. One thing that may not be noticed by everyone is that our midfield lacks impact."

David Silva and Fabregas are both delicate and insufficient impact. When Yaya Toure is there, his forward dribbling can show impact at the appropriate time, or Thiago Silva's dribbling propulsion, either. However, as the team's entire tactical framework is formed, almost everyone is playing football according to this framework, becoming lacking freshness, lacking stimulation, and lacking desire.

Of course, Tottenham Hotspur's overall advantage is still very obvious, the offense is as good as ever, and the defense is becoming stronger and stronger, but the problem is that the team has not changed much compared to two years ago.

In other words, Ye Qiu's exploration and changes in the past two years have not achieved much effect.

As Ye Qiu said to many senior executives of Yezi Technology, every person, every company, and even every team must have the courage to attack themselves, because only in this way can we break the existing pattern, create a new and larger pattern, and make more breakthroughs.

Just like Barcelona in Ye Qiu's previous life, why did this team seem to have more and more unprogressive and unparalleled after Guardiola, and their performance in the European arena is becoming less and less dominant?

Modern football tactics have progressed too quickly. If you don’t keep improving, it takes less than two or three years to get caught up by your opponent. What is waiting for you is to be surpassed and replaced by your opponent.

"I once said that the current football tactics emphasize the integration of the fusion of the future of Premier League tactics, and the future of the Premier League tactics is also a fusion. Position blurring itself is a fusion. This fusion is not only to bring the delicate techniques and small-scale cooperation of Brazil and Spain to the Premier League, but also to integrate the integrity of the Bundesliga and Serie A tactics into the team's bone marrow. More importantly, it is to play the traditional advantages of the Premier League, fast, a fast and full of high passion and high game investment."

Ye Qiu thought of this, paused and continued: "I have been thinking about a question recently. I have always emphasized in the past that there must be a fast pace in the next innovation of football concepts. The future football tactics will become faster and faster, and even this kind of speed will exceed one's limits."

This is no longer a secret within Tottenham Hotspur. The speed that Ye Qiu said to exceeds the limit of human beings does not mean that one person wants to surpass his own limit. No matter how fast a human being is, it is impossible to reach that level. However, on the football field, the speed of the ball can exceed the limit of human beings.

"The Premier League has always been very fast, from the previous long pass to the current fast-paced game style, and we all know that this speed is reflected in the moment of offense and defense transformation. So, I was thinking, if a group of players have high game investment and passion, they have excellent physical fitness and strong personal abilities, but also have excellent team cooperation awareness, and can continuously run at high intensity, press and press and press, and make use of every inch of space on the court as much as possible."

"But more importantly, no matter who they are, after intercepting the ball, they can start from him, organize and plan counterattack at the first time, and complete the process of defensive to offense. We all know that if the interceptor has the ability to break through independently and quickly pass and cooperate, he will not only help the team complete the defensive to offense, but also bring a lot of offensive choices to the team."

Ye Qiu's idea is undoubtedly to go further based on Tottenham Hotspur's existing ones.

If Tottenham Hotspur now looks a bit like Barcelona's pass control system in his previous life, then what Ye Qiu wants is to add more running, more impactful and more resilient play on this basis.

We all know that Barcelona in Ye Qiu's previous life did not have much resilience. Their defense and physical confrontation ability were not good, and the team's offense had no impact. They could only rely on constant pulling and penetration to complete the attack. Therefore, they had a headache for two types of teams. One was that the defense system was very rigorous, just like Mourinho's Inter Milan, and the other was to suppress the team they played. This not only reflected that their offensive ability was too poor and their impact power was too weak, but also reflected that their defense was relatively poor.

Of course, in the system with high ball possession rate that Barcelona has, it is difficult for a team to play, so this possibility can only exist in concepts or occasionally, but this high ball possession rate is unreasonable in itself.

Ye Qiu promoted effective ball possession at Tottenham Hotspur, which can be seen as an option based on the Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur’s pass, control and cutting tactics have reached its peak, and many players in the team have also adopted a model to play. If Ye Qiu continues to use the existing team to play, there is no possibility of a major breakthrough. Therefore, if he wants to try a more impactful, resilient, and more comprehensive and comprehensive style of playing, he must change and adjust his personnel configuration.

Or to use the simplest and most direct way, Ye Qiu wants to use a sword against the midfield, so that Tottenham Hotspur's midfield can advance, attack, retreat and defend, and at the same time it has amazing resilience and impact.

Or, imagine that when the three all-round British midfielders such as Gerald and Lampard, who are more technically detailed and have stronger organizational capabilities, rely on cross-stop exchanges with each other, large-scale active running coverage, and technical characteristics of attacking, retreating and defending, this midfielder is almost unsolvable.

According to Bekenbauer, the strongest is the weakest, while Saki said that a Kaka needs a Gattuso.

Suppose that Kaka's offense is 90, defense is 10, Gatuso is offense is 90, defense is 90, and the two players are combined together and are just a pair of best partners. But the problem is that this pair of partners has a very clear division of labor and it is easy to defend. Gatuso has no offensive ability to defend against Kaka's defense.

You should know that football is the same as all industries. The more you go to the top, the more difficult it is. That is to say, it is very, very difficult to reach the level of 90 points of Kaka. There may be only a few in the world, but it is not difficult to reach 80 points of offense, but it is easier to reach 70 points. It is a lot to catch any one, and the same is true for defense.

Then the problem is. If you find some players or cultivate a player yourself, so that both defense and offense reach more than 70 points, pick it up one by one. The offense is not as good as Kaka, and the defense is not as eye-catching as Gattuso. But the problem is that he can both attack and defend, and they are all above 70 points.

You should know that it is very, very difficult, or even unlikely to make a player have Kaka's offense and Gattuso's defense at the same time, but if it is 70% of Kaka's offensive ability and 70% of Gattuso's defense ability, it is very possible, especially in England.

So, which combination of Kaka and Gattuso and the combination of two midfielders with both offense and defense is stronger?

The answer is self-evident, it must be the latter

Or someone would say, are there such players?

Ye Qiu knew a lot in his previous life, Yaya, Toure, Schweinsteiger, Vidal, and Pogba, but the two players who can best represent Ye Qiu's idea should be the two players trained by Arsenal Wenger, Wilsher and Ramsey.

Especially Wilshere, many people call him the prince because he was regarded by Wenger as the team's midfield core early on. The reason is that he almost reflects Wenger's understanding of the fusion of the European continental style of English football. In the best season, Wilshere intercepted, stealed, passed, organized, cooperated, and made personal breakthroughs. He was almost everything, and all of them were above the 70s. More importantly, he was still so young and continued to grow and improve.

You should know that in the PN football manager game, the player limit is 0, but in reality, there is no upper limit for the player's potential. That is, if Will Sher continues to make progress like this, it is possible that all of them will be able to practice to 80, or even above 90, which is why Wenger is optimistic about him.

If the position on the court has been subdivided in the past few decades of modern football tactics, then the future trend of football is position blurring, and the result of position blurring is the all-round of players.

If you think about the many positions and types of players nowadays, it is not difficult to find their all-round ability.
