Chapter 681
The League Cup has never been a game that Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur value, because for Tottenham Hotspur, their focus is mainly on the Premier League and the Champions League, which is their stage.
But for mid- and lower-level teams, such as Everton, the situation is obviously different. Especially after the strong rise of teams such as West Ham United and Newcastle, Everton no longer has the advantage of the past. If he wants to enter the European arena, the Cup will undoubtedly become their most promising stage.
Because of this, Moyes was at Goodison Park Stadium in this game and set up a full lineup to face the visiting Tottenham Hotspur. Even though the North London team did not use the main force, Moyes was still very careful.
In this game, Moyes lined up a 45l tactic. The goalkeeper was US goalkeeper Tim Howard, the defense was Leiden Barnes, Rodwell, Jagilka and Heatinga, the midfielder was Drent, Phil Neville, Fellaini, Pinelle and Ottoman, and the single forward was Argentine high center forward Straqualusi.
In order to train Rodwell and rotate the team, Moyes put players such as Hibert and Distin on the bench, and the young player Rose Barkley was also on the bench. This is also a young player Everton is very optimistic about and highly valued by Moyes.
Tottenham Hotspur arranged for a full substitute lineup in this game. The goalkeeper was Courtois, the defense was Alba, Nastasic, Varane and Phil or Jones, and Sandro dragged the back in the midfield. Pogba and Eriksen topped the front-end to play the forward, Coutinho, Raul and Neymar formed an offensive combination with the trident in the frontcourt.
Kyle Walker and Eden Hazard will start in the league on the weekend, so Ye Qiu did not arrange for them to start in this game, but sat on the bench with Lucas Mora and other players.
At the beginning of the game, Everton, who played at home, bullied the small, relied on his home court and started the main player. He planned to give Tottenham a group of young players, and launched a round of attacks, suppressing the young players of Tottenham Hotspur in the half and beat them up.
Ye Qiu has been sitting in the coach's seat of the visiting team since the opening game. He does not attach much importance to this game. For him, winning is of course good, but more importantly, he wants to see how this group of young players perform, and how many of them are qualified to join the team's rotation.
Similar to players such as Kyle O Walker, Eden O Hazard, etc. who have stable strength and have won recognition from teammates and coaching staff, Ye Qiu is not even planning to arrange them to play in this game.
Everton attacked fiercely at the start, but Tottenham Hotspur's defensive backcourt formation composed of Nastasic, Varane and Sandro in front also performed very well, which made Everton's Pinal want to break through the middle several times, but failed to achieve results. However, after five minutes of attack, Everton suddenly changed his offensive strategy.
I saw Everton intercepting the ball in a midfield and quickly passed the ball to the left. Drent rushed to the left, attacking Phil or Jones forward and participated in the attack. Nastasic quickly stepped forward to make up for the leak.
Many people say that Drente is like Davis, a wild boar. He is very small, but he is very fast, has excellent explosive power, and is very flexible. So when he rushed up, Nastasic rushed over and rushed over a little too hard as soon as he stepped forward.
After Drent easily passed Nastasic, Everton fans immediately cheered in the stands.
After Drente had a relaxed pass, he turned around and chased after Nastasic, dribbled the ball into Tottenham's penalty area, while Varane kept retreating and retreated directly into the penalty area.
It should be said that Varane's choice was not wrong. When he retreated, he was also paying attention to the route of Kalent's direct shot. In front of him was Phil Jones running back all the way back. He blocked Drente's pass to Argentine high center Stella Quarucci, while Sandro was sticking to Pinal.
"I'll go, you'll drag it back"
Just when Varane was worried that he would continue to retreat and Drente would get the chance to kick directly, Phil O Jones's shout came from his ears, almost an instinctive reaction. Varane immediately leaned over to the right and attached himself to the Argentine high center forward. Almost in an instant, Phil O Jones posted Drente.
This time, the Englishman was very smart. He did not choose to directly release a dangerous move, but instead he was like a tiger going down the mountain, pushing directly towards Drente with his body. The Dutchman was also very smart. He just saw Nastasic pounce too hard, so now he met Zhang Feifei or Jones, so he wanted to use the same trick again.
But Phil O Jones stole some strength this time, and Drenter stopped urgently, and he also stopped urgently, and his body always blocked Drenter's left side. Because Drenter only had his left foot, his right foot was almost negligible, so the clever thing about Phil O Jones was that he entangled Drenter's left foot.
The left foot was entangled, Drent had no way to shoot, and the rhythm of rapid advancement was disrupted by Phil or Jones. Sandro and Nastasic quickly returned to the penalty area. When Drent wanted to dial the right foot to Pinal who was inserted behind, Sandro stepped forward and intercepted the ball in the middle of the way.
Once, the defense seemed very casual in a football game, but it was full of thrilling wits and power. People who have never experienced it personally would not understand it. The fans only sighed regretfully in the stands, or smiled lucky in front of the TV.
A little more, just like Ye Qiu now, I praised it, "Phil o Jones, this kid has made progress."
This time, Phil O Jones adjusted quickly, returned to defense quickly, and was decisive and timely. More importantly, he instantly determined Drenter's left foot was to be restricted in an instant, and grasped this point, which was quite good.
Tottenham Hotspur is a young man in charge, and its strength is definitely not comparable to Everton's main players. So although Everton's attack was resolved, the home team's offensive continued to continue.
After learning from the lessons just now, Ye Qiu went to the sidelines to make some detailed adjustments, which gradually stabilized the team's defense, but the passiveness in the scene could not be reversed.
Being hit by the opponent is undoubtedly a difficult test for Tottenham Hotspur’s defensive players, especially the impact they face is the main lineup of Everton, who has a strong Premier League strength. Such an experience seems even more rare for them.
Although Phil Jones, a fierce general, is young and a substitute, he is not as immature as a young player, nor as timid as a young man. He always looks fierce and fearless when he appears on the court.
Drenter was scared just now, and not long after, Phil or Jones came again. This time, Pinal wanted to dribble the ball from the left rib, but Phil or Jones suddenly rushed forward and pressed it closely again. Pinal was so scared that he dribbleed the ball. Varane did not miss the opportunity and directly cleared the ball with big feet.
But Drente had no defense on the left, and Ye Qiu and Mauro Tassoti on the sidelines also shook their heads.
"It's still a little too tender." Mauro Tasotti is a defensive player and laughed.
If Pinal had enough consciousness at that time, after passing it to Drent, the Dutch made a cross, and the Argentine high center forward Stellaquarus, who was about 1.9 meters tall in the penalty area, could easily suppress Nastasic.
"But after half a season of training, coupled with the special training this season, it still looks a bit effective," said Ye Qiu.
It is mainly reflected in running, timing and defensive skills. At least in this game, Phil O Jones's grasp of timing and defensive skills is indeed very good and very mature. He is just a defensive consciousness, especially in terms of position sense, and he still seems to be relatively young.
Many people say that young players should play more games, especially some high-level games. This is a very important way to train young players. This statement is actually not accurate, because if you can improve by playing high-level games, what should the head coach do?
Moreover, the training of many teams, especially group confrontation training, is almost imitating actual combat to the greatest extent, so the pressure of training of many teams even exceeds the pressure brought by some competitions with huge strength and weakness.
The growth and progress of young players are nothing more than two factors: one is basic skills and the other is application.
Basically, they can be called rookies and their basic skills will not be bad. However, players who can become the key target of Tottenham Hotspur’s training have very solid basic skills, so the key is how to use them.
How to use it is closely related to the head coach, because different head coaches will adopt different ways of playing.
It's like Phil Jones, if he goes to Manchester United, or some other teams coached by local Premier League coaches, maybe they will turn him into a fierce player, flying tackles, pounce on him at any time, brightening his soles at any time, or running around nonsense.
But when he comes to Tottenham Hotspur, he has to adapt to Tottenham Hotspur’s tactical play, and he has to learn from Ye Qiu’s requirements for defensive players, blocking positions, predicting, and interception... After doing this, he still has to work hard to train his ability in passing, stopping, etc., and he can’t kick his feet at any time, and he has to learn how to run and help his teammates, etc.
It takes a process, but there is no doubt that the team who plays in the British style will be Phil or Jones when they come to Tottenham Hotspur, but they will eventually develop two completely different players.
This is why Anderson is Ronaldinho II in the Portuguese Super League, and Mikel has outstanding footwork and consciousness in Nigeria and the World Youth Championship, and his talent is not inferior to Messi's front midfielder. However, after they came to the Premier League and defected to Ferguson and Mourinho, they both became beastly waists. This is the reason.
Although Tottenham Hotspur's teenagers defended very hard and hard, and at the same time they were not embarrassed at all, nor were they timid at all, Everton was the first to score. When Fellaini inserted one after another, Tottenham Hotspur's players missed the ball in the penalty area, allowing the Belgian midfielder to score the first goal.
This happened in the 33rd minute of the first half, and it hit Tottenham Hotspur quite a big blow.
After losing the ball, the players were obviously panicked. After re-teleblowing the ball, they soon lost the ball. Everton made a counterattack, and Pinal passed the ball over the top, Drent got the ball offside, and Ottoman on the right rushed up quickly, and only one Phil or Jones was left in the backcourt of Tottenham Hotspur.
One-on-two, Phil O'Jones kept retreating, but his attention was not only on Drenter who was holding the ball, but also on Ottoman who was inserted in the back. He knew very well that he not only had to rely on running and standing to limit Drenter's foot, but also had to guard against Drenter passing the ball to find Ottoman.
This is a very difficult choice, but Phil Jones is difficult, and Drent himself is also difficult, because he found that Phil Jones' position is always in a very embarrassing situation. If he wants to accelerate down the bottom, he may be disturbed by him and be entangled by him in close proximity. The goalkeeper can get the ball when he attacks. Even if he doesn't attack, as long as he stands at the position, his shooting angle will be almost blocked.
But if it passes across, he is a bit far from Ottoman, one on the left rib and the other on the right rib. He knows the explosive power of Phil Jones. This kid starts very quickly and is likely to interrupt the ball.
While the ball was advancing, Drent was always looking for opportunities. Phil Jones retreated into the penalty area. He seemed to see through Drent's plan. Varane, Nastasic and Sandro were all back, so he had enough confidence.
After a chance was clear, Phil O Jones suddenly rushed up, and Drenter had no time to react. Moreover, he seized the opportunity to rush forward just right, just when Drenter's ball left his foot, so as soon as he rushed up, he directly made a down-to-ground slip-twisted. While tackled the ball, Rendrenter tripped in the penalty area.
Typical iconic Phil O Jones shovel
Drent fell in the penalty area, waiting for the referee's whistle. Several Everton players shouted at the referee, but the law enforcement referee from the English Champions League smiled and shook his head, obviously telling Everton players not to put pressure, I can see clearly that this is a beautiful defense.
Boos rang throughout the Goodison Park Stadium.
Phil o Jones jumped up from the ground and roared at the group of Everton players who wanted to put pressure on the referee, and rushed up, very loudly. Even Ye Qiu on the sidelines could hear clearly, "It's a fucking rule. Do you know this is a fake fall? He is fake fall and wants to cheat the penalty kick."
The referee immediately blocked the middle between Phil O Jones and Everton's players. Everyone saw the veins on Phil O Jones' neck with red faces exposed, as if they were to be more than one game, without the awareness of a young player.
Raul ran over and grabbed Phil O Jones. He was worried that his teammates would lose control, but Phil O Jones broke free from Raul's pull, "Don't pull me, I know I'm?"
"I just don't like this group of bastards. They just like cowards. They just want to cheat on penalty kicks all day long. I P××
Phil o Jones roared at Everton's players, and the referee immediately ran over and showed him a yellow card. At this time, the Tottenham Hotspur players were dissatisfied. They wanted to cheat the penalty kick. If you don't give the cards, you will give it to our teammates?
The referee separated the players of the two teams. Under Raul's control, Tottenham Hotspur players were not influenced by anger, but they obviously became very indignant, especially Phil or Jones. After this troublemaker got a yellow card, he still shouted at the Everton players, "You guys who have no eggs, be careful, you will die."
Tottenham Hotspur’s coaching staff sat on the sidelines. Looking at the scene, Ye Qiu and Mauro Tassoti looked at each other and laughed. Instead, Roland Shepas came over with a little concern, "Would you like to replace Phil Jones? This kid is like taking drugs. Look at the blushing, he is so excited."
Ye Qiu shook his head, "If you don't change, he will get a red card if you have the ability."
"What does it mean?" Roland didn't understand very well.
Mauro Tassoti slapped Roland on the shoulder, "If he gets a red card, then he is a reckless man, no different from the past, but if he doesn't get a red card, all this happens in our favor. Haven't you seen the players all woke up?"
What is the most troublesome thing when a young player is alone?
It's not a matter of strength, but self-confidence
From the beginning of the game, Tottenham Hotspur's group of kids were beaten by Everton's players. This is too ugly. On the one hand, it is not as good as others, but more importantly, they put themselves in the position of a weak person from the beginning, and forgot Ye Qiu's instructions before the game and the tactics arranged by the team.
But now, Phil O Jones is out of trouble, Tottenham Hotspur is not happy, and they are both angry, and they want to vent, so the game has just begun. If Phil O Jones is replaced at this time, it wouldn’t be like to extinguish the fire in the players’ hearts? Tell them, I don’t like you getting angry?
In Ye Qiu's opinion, passion is a good thing, but it cannot be controlled by passion and loses its mind.
Ye Qiu never thought Keane was the best midfielder. The reason is that he was often controlled by passion, such as some of his unnecessary fouls and behaviors of hurting his opponents, which greatly reduced him.
Of course, Keane is a great player, and Ye Qiu believes in this, but his biggest regret is his uncontrollable temper.
The laboratory also has psychological training specifically for players, so now it is just a test of the results. And after all, this is just a League Cup. If you lose, you will lose the League Cup. Ye Qiu doesn't feel a pity at all, because if you can awaken the fighting spirit of young players, this game will have a great role in promoting their growth.
It can even be said that the gains of playing ten games smoothly and taking advantage of the troubled waters may not be that the gains of such a game will be big and effective.
