Chapter 692 The plan to win the championship
On October 25, in the quarterfinals of the England League Cup, Tottenham Hotspur faced Chelsea at White Hart Lane Stadium.
Neither team sent out the main players. Although Chelsea played Maluda and Anelka, two first-team players, more of them were substitutes and young players such as Lukaku, Karau and Romeu. Boas's team had just been upset by Queen's Park Rangers away in the ninth round of the Premier League. He kept his efforts to play Arsenal on the weekend.
Tottenham Hotspur also did not send all the main players and also played as a substitute, but at home he defeated Chelsea 0 with goals from Lucas O Mora and Beckham.
In the second half of this game, Belgian 16-year-old Januzai, as well as English local teenagers Will Hughes and Luke Xiao made their debut for the first time, but the three players all made their debut in the second half, with their performances average.
On the weekend, the Premier League ushered in the tenth round of the game. Tottenham Hotspur was at home. With Messi's double score and midfielder Ramsey's goal, L defeated the Queen's Park Rangers at home, and once again expanded the unbeaten record to 60 games. Moreover, Tottenham Hotspur occupied a dominant position during the game.
By the way, another winger Neymar, who was the rotation starter in this game, had two assists and performed well.
During the period when Ribery was absent due to injury, Neymar and Hazard took turns to play. Both young players were holding on to prove their strength, so they performed quite well every time they played on the court, which was also something that Ye Qiu was very satisfied. After all, he hoped that the team would always maintain such a healthy competition.
It was also a focus match in the tenth round, but Chelsea was humiliated by Arsenal at 5 Stamford Bridge Stadium.
Judging from the results of the game, it should be a very exciting game with eight goals, but in fact, the game was not very good, and it looked more like two teams with poor performances competing to see who is worse and who has more stupid mistakes.
Under Boas, Chelsea is currently ranked sixth in the Premier League, and is a bad brother with Arsenal. The Gunners are currently ranked seventh, but this is not a problem. The key to the problem is that Chelsea has lost not only the sharp attack from Ancelotti this season, but also the defense and strong midfielder that Chelsea relies on for pride and pride in the past.
Arsenal's problem is also on defense, but relatively speaking, Arsenal's frontcourt offense performed better in this game, so he was able to tie the ball continuously after conceding the ball, and finally achieved overtake and a big reversal.
In the English media's words, the kind-hearted Boas saved the good man Wenger.
Because, this season, Wenger faced Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, especially Tottenham Hotspur, and the game was quite bad, but in this game, he defeated Chelsea in three away games. Wenger could finally express with confidence that he could also play hard and win when facing a strong team.
Entering November, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Belgium Genk in the fourth leg of the Champions League group stage in the mid-week mid-week, which is also the 16th goal scored by Tottenham Hotspur in the past four Champions League group stages. What's even more terrifying is that Tottenham Hotspur did not concede goals in four Champions League group stages.
The average goal rate of four goals per game, this offensive efficiency that is shocked by everyone has shocked the entire European football world, but if combined with the big victory against Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur's amazing lethality in the new season has made all opponents afraid
After the team's 0 away win against Genke, an old Tottenham Hotspur fan, who followed the team to the away game, excitedly expressed his confidence in the team when he was interviewed by media reporters.
"I swear, Tottenham Hotspur this season is the strongest Tottenham Hotspur I have ever seen. They are the best team in the world. Look, Messi has another hat-trick, Cavani is as good as ever, and our midfielder. Who said that after we sold Fabregas, David Silva and Yaya Toure, we can't do the midfield anymore?"
"This is a very excellent team, they are the best. If they can't win the Premier League this season, I'll die." The elderly old football fan's swearing remarks appeared on the pages of major British newspapers the next day, and even became the focus of debate among all fans on the Internet.
Some people believe that Tottenham Hotspur's performance is indeed very eye-catching. This season, whether in the Champions League or the Premier League, they have maintained their past offensive efficiency as usual, and they are still maintaining an unbeaten record. They should be sure to win the championship.
But some people believe that Tottenham Hotspur is too early to win the championship, because judging from the current Premier League situation, Manchester City, ranked second and Liverpool, ranked third, may challenge Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester United, ranked fourth, may also reverse in the second half.
There are many cases where the Red Devils reversed the situation in the second half, and there are many cases where the first half performed well, but there are also many cases where the second half collapsed.
"Looking at the past ten rounds of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur's most eye-catching performance is undoubtedly the big victory against Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool. Although he also defeated Arsenal later, the Gunners' strength is no longer as strong as Tottenham Hotspur. Coupled with the perfect double last season, the North London team has a psychological overwhelming advantage."
"With a careful analysis, we can see that Tottenham Hotspur's performance in recent rounds has declined, namely Newcastle, Blackburn, and even Queen's Park Rangers. Tottenham Hotspur did not show the kind of exciting offensive football, but instead played steadily and relied on his strength to score points."
"So I judge that Tottenham is heading towards a low point in its state"
Tottenham Hotspur supporters immediately refuted the remarks of those opposition parties, and they also explained the reason why Tottenham Hotspur is a favorite to win the championship from the schedule.
"I agree very much. Tottenham Hotspur's form has declined. I think this is a conscious move by head coach Ye Qiu."
"Actually, judging from the past years of Premier League experience, Ye Qiu is the kind of head coach who actively adjusts the team's condition according to the schedule, so we can see that the devil schedule of the same two seasons, but Tottenham Hotspur was slow last season, and this season quickly entered the state, with two completely different rhythms, and the reason is the schedule."
"No team can remain at its peak for a long time. There must be ups and downs. And it must be noted that Ribery's injury has also affected Tottenham Hotspur. Although Hazard and Neymar performed well, they still do not have the strength of Ribery and the tacit understanding with Messi and Cavani.
"Ye Qiu lets the team enter a trough and pursues a steady strategy of scoring points. This is the strategy that a team that is determined to win the championship should formulate. If Tottenham still pursues the relentless pursuit strategy when they are in excellent condition at this time, they will definitely lose points."
"From the schedule, Tottenham Hotspur is in a bad state, but the next opponents are basically difficult to have an impact on Tottenham Hotspur, and the Champions League also advanced early. For Tottenham Hotspur, before meeting Chelsea in December, they did not have any challenges, and the chance of losing points is not high, but the possibility of winning is high."
The two gangs of fans formed cliques on the Internet and fought a war of words. Many fans took the initiative to take sides, some supported them, and some opposed them.
But everyone knows that after Tottenham Hotspur has survived the devil's schedule, the next opponents are not as strong as Tottenham Hotspur. As long as Ye Qiu and his team play every game steadily, the possibility of losing points is very low.
Even some bookmakers have offered odds to let all lottery players bet to see how many games they are optimistic about Tottenham's winning streak can maintain, and so far there are exactly 60 games.
According to the odds issued by the bookmaker, more than half of the lottery players believe that Tottenham Hotspur can continue its winning streak to at least 65 games, while half of the remaining half think that it will exceed 70 games, while the other half thinks that it may exceed 75 games, and the lottery players who think that it will end within 65 games are very small.
This is almost no longer just a topic that Tottenham Hotspur fans are concerned about, but has gradually spread to the world with the spread of modern media. How long can Tottenham Hotspur’s unbeaten record last? This has become a topic that fans around the world, even non-fans, are concerned about.
Under such circumstances, Tottenham Hotspur began to consciously isolate the news to avoid the huge pressure from the outside media to the team. In addition to routine press conferences, Theobord basically did not allow reporters to enter, especially the first-team training area, which was closed to the outside world.
But Tottenham's performance on the court did not slow down the pace or pace at all.
On November 7, Tottenham Hotspur was away from West London and challenged Fulham away. Messi and Cavani both made one pass and one shot, and central defender Kompany scored a goal, helping the team defeat Fulham away.
After two weeks of national team game day, on November 22, Tottenham Hotspur welcomed Aston Villa at home.
Although Messi failed to score in the game, his two assists helped Cavani score twice. Tottenham Hotspur beat Aston Villa at home and continued his unbeaten record.
In the fifth leg of the Champions League group stage in the middle of the week, Tottenham Hotspur arranged a full substitute lineup to play when he had already advanced from the group to qualify for the first place, but with the goals of Raul and Pogba, he defeated Leverkusen away. French midfielder Pogba was elected the best player in the game and performed very well.
Back in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur challenged West Bromwich away on the afternoon of the 26th.
The game was very difficult. Westbromvic had a first win after the opening game. He made a mistake in midfield Pirlo's pass and scored a goal quickly. However, soon, Pirlo made up for the result and passed Cavani to equalize the score.
The two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half. Tottenham Hotspur reversed West Bromvic with the goals of Hazard and Messi.
The outside world has not had a high opinion of Tottenham's performance in this game. Even Martin and Samuel said that since the two-week national team match day in November, Tottenham's performance has declined significantly compared to before, but he believes that this has nothing to do with the team's strength, mainly the players' physical fitness and condition.
But what is more important is Ye Qiu's large rotation.
You should know that as the schedule deepens, especially after October, Ye Qiu's rotation range even includes core players such as Messi, Pirlo, Thiago Silva and Alves. Courtois frequently replaces Cech in front of the goal, while Sandro, Phil Jones, Eriksen, Coutinho, Varane, Nastasic, Kyle O Walker and other players have appeared in the team's rotation list and starting lineup.
With such a large-scale rotation, it is indeed not easy for the team to maintain its current state and momentum.
In the mid-week League Cup quarter-finals knockout round, Ye Qiu sent an all-youth team lineup to play again, but this time he lost 0 away to Liverpool. Ye Qiu also accepted this result, and also gave high evaluation and encouragement from players such as Lucas Mora, Nick Powell, Pogba and other starters.
Liverpool is now sending all the main players to compete for the League Cup. Benitez's pragmatism tells him that he must first win a cup championship to ensure his coach position. Therefore, Liverpool, who had previously drawn lottery draws, easily reached the quarterfinals. This time Benitez is determined to advance, so he sent all the main players to play.
Relatively speaking, Tottenham Hotspur’s youth team can even be said to be three teams. It is not reasonable to lose two goals when the away game is not as good as others. If you can beat Liverpool away, it will be a real upset.
The media outside the outside world did not take any slight damage to Tottenham Hotspur lost to Liverpool away and was eliminated from the League Cup.
Just kidding, if you remain unbeaten in the league with 63 unbeaten games and win all five games in the Champions League, you will be criticized because you lose a useless League Cup, that is the number one strange thing in Tianzi
This time the media went against the norm, especially the British media. Not only did they not put any damage to Tottenham Hotspur, they also took the initiative to help Tottenham Hotspur explain that many of them believed that leaving the League Cup was not a bad thing, because this would allow Tottenham Hotspur to focus more on the Premier League.
As a result, Tottenham Hotspur, who was in a state of replenishment, beat Bolton 0 at his home court, Messi scored again, Cavani scored twice, Tottenham Hotspur's entire frontcourt offense was amazing.
Unbeaten in 64 games, Tottenham Hotspur almost used a perfect victory to declare its domineering spirit, and at the same time, it also made almost the entire British media shout that the era of Tottenham Hotspur has arrived.
Currently in the Premier League standings, Tottenham Hotspur is the best in the unbeaten record of 14 wins and 12 draws, and Manchester City's performance this season is also very ideal. So far, there have been 11 wins, 2 draws and one loss in the 14th game. One of the losses was a 205 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
Liverpool currently has two points less than Manchester City, ranking third in the standings, followed by Manchester United, Newcastle, West Ham United, Chelsea and Arsenal. Southampton, who holds half of the shares, is currently ranked ninth in the Premier League, ranking even ahead of Moyes' Everton, and Adrians's team has become the dark horse of the promotion this season.
In all media analysis, Tottenham Hotspur’s strong dialogue is an important reason why they can lead by three-point advantage in the current standings. Without a victory against Manchester City, there will be no current three-point advantage.
But judging from Manchester City's performance, the bench thickness of this team is really excellent. Even if they just use the substitute lineup, they are enough to challenge all teams in the Premier League except Tottenham. It can be seen how strong the Blue Moon is and how scary the bench thickness is.
However, the famous Premier League analyst and former Liverpool legend Leinker expressed his appreciation and optimism for Ye Qiu's team on his TV show of his daily event. He believes that Ye Qiu has made almost no decision-making mistakes so far this season.
"Planning is very important for a team that is determined to win the championship."
"I can even be sure that even now Ye Qiu is still following the plan he planned at the beginning of the season. At least from the overall situation, it must be like this, because you can see that in the strong dialogue at the beginning of the season, he adjusted the team's best state to win."
"After the Devil's schedule of the strong dialogue, everything Tottenham Hotspur did is to get points, so he doesn't need to be in a good state, as long as he can get points in a stable manner, but at the same time, he should still be preparing for the second half, especially the league in late January and the Champions League double-line battle that began later, so he needs an effective and reasonable rotation system."
"Many people say that Tottenham Hotspur's main lineup is excellent and the young players have made great progress, but I want to say that Ye Qiu made almost no mistakes in his decision-making this season. If Tottenham Hotspur can win the championship in the end this season, the biggest contributor must be Ye Qiu, because the textbook-like winning plan he formulated will perfectly help the team win the league championship."
"I also want to remind all the potential competitors of Tottenham Hotspur that for them, the most important first thing now is how to interrupt the rhythm of Tottenham Hotspur, disrupt Ye Qiu's plan, and make the team deviate from the original track. This is the key issue to prevent Tottenham Hotspur from winning the championship.
Interestingly, Reinkell's view this time is the same as Ferguson, who also said that for all teams competing for championships, the most important thing is to bite Tottenham Hotspur tightly and support the team's unbeaten record ends.
