When Pique swam behind Mascherano and saw Cavani, who was still carrying the ball, suddenly hit his heel and passed it to Messi who was inserted behind him, he was frightened. His first reaction was that he could not let Messi stop the ball, so he rushed towards Messi at the first time and at his fastest speed.

This is a last resort and he cannot hesitate at all, because as long as he slows down, Messi may directly shoot.

Messi was also a little surprised when he received the ball, which caused him to be a little confused when he stopped the ball. The ball was stopped in front by him, but he reacted very quickly, especially when he saw Pique rushing up, he immediately stretched his right foot forward and dunked the ball that had just stopped a little bigger and to his left.

This dunk made Pique stretch out his foot to break the ball and also allowed Messi to gain a space, because when he hit the ball to the left, coupled with his short and flexible figure, Pique was tall and slow to turn, he quickly won the time difference. Even if the time difference was only a few seconds, it was enough for him to pull out a little gap.

With a right foot, stop the left foot forward, follow a step, rub the instep inside the left foot and hit the ball directly.

Valdes made a quick save and his reaction was also very fast, but Messi's kick was rubbed in the upper left corner of the goal. This was really too difficult for him, who was only 1.83 meters tall. This was a dead corner in the absolute sense.

The moment the ball hit the goal line, Messi rushed out of the court excitedly, clenched his fists with excitement, and rushed to the front of the fans' stands on the sidelines. He still clenched his fists with a ferocious face. This look made all Tottenham fans in the stands excitedly, roaring and cheering with him.

"In just less than two minutes of the opening game, Tottenham Hotspur took the lead in knocking on Barcelona's goal."

"It's really unexpected. No one would have thought that the start of this game would be like this. Barcelona encountered a powerful attack from Tottenham Hotspur at the beginning of the away game, and the goal was directly conceded."

The slow motion replays the whole process of scoring just now, from Pirlo's diagonal diagonal pass to Messi's cut inward and straight pass to Cavani, then Cavani dribbled the ball and hit the bottom line but suddenly hit back, and Messi's back insertion, the whole process seems to have fought alone with only two players, but in fact it represents Tottenham's delicate offensive route.

"Diagonal offense. After introducing Pirlo, Tottenham Hotspur is very good at playing this offensive method. Pirlo's diagonal diagonal pass from the backcourt has caused countless teams to feel a headache. Barcelona obviously did not focus on Pirlo in this game."

"Cavani's dribbling also attracted Mascherano's attention, and then suddenly passed the ball with his heel, which was indeed beyond everyone's expectations. Obviously Messi was also surprised. The first stop was not good, but he reacted faster than Pique. He passed Pique with one click with his right foot, and then rubbed the ball with his left foot. The whole process was dazzling and a very outstanding attack."

Tottenham Hotspur players hugged each other excitedly on the sidelines, and Messi even hugged Cavani in the waist. The two had a big gap in height, and it was indeed a bit strange to stand together, but their cooperation on the court was quite tacit.

Cavani's skills have always given people a very simple and practical, but delicate and inadequate feeling. However, the heel assist just now makes people admire it. Of course, such an assist is not difficult, but this awareness is very rare, especially since he didn't even look behind him, which shows the tacit understanding between the two.

"The current game is very unfavorable to Barcelona." The live broadcast footage was given to Guardiola on the sidelines. The Barcelona head coach was wearing a white shirt and paced back and forth on the sidelines, looking a little lonely and helpless. "Guardiola should think about it carefully, what to do next in this game?"

"It's obvious that Ye Qiu is just as everyone speculated, and wants to eat Barcelona in one go at his home court, so he will continue to attack next. Barcelona's defense is a weakness, especially high-ball defense. How to curb Tottenham's attack is a difficult problem."

Although he scored the goal first, Tottenham Hotspur did not give up, but continued to work hard to score. As the game started again and as the situation spread out, everyone began to clearly see Tottenham Hotspur’s tactics, which was to fight head-on.

Many teams will adopt a conservative attitude when encountering Barcelona's ball control tactics. For example, Mourinho's Inter Milan, they will adopt a compact Italian-style defense to curb Barcelona's offense, that is, freezing the 30-meter area, similar to the defense of AC Milan against Tottenham Hotspur.

But the disadvantage of doing this is obvious, that is, you have to give up the initiative and control of the game.

This is definitely a fatal injury for a team like Tottenham Hotspur, because Ye Qiu cannot accept that the team loses the initiative and control of the game, and Tottenham Hotspur's offensive philosophy also makes it impossible for him to adopt a style of play similar to Mourinho's Inter Milan.

So Ye Qiu combined his own characteristics and advantages and made appropriate adjustments to the game, that is, he did not suppress the defense line.

You should know that it is easy for Barcelona to maintain his advantage in possession, but it is not so easy if he wants to create a threat on the offensive end, because he must maintain his possession at the front of the 30-meter area, that is, the possession area between Xavi and Busquets. If this area loses possession, Barcelona will be useless to control the ball for more time.

The reason why ball control in front of the 30-meter area is that as long as there is a loophole, it can create a threat with one pass.

So Ye Qiu was sure that Barcelona wanted to push the ball control area to the forefront of the 30-meter area. He retracted appropriately, but blocked Barcelona's ball control area in the center line, trying not to let Barcelona control the ball near the 30-meter area, and arranged the focus of the two sides' competition for ball rights in the center line.

But if you just do this, it is far from enough. The reason is very simple. This can only be defended and cannot be attacked.

Ye Qiu also arranged a special targeted tactic in this game, that is, before the game, he specifically reminded the players that the offense and defense must be changed quickly in this game, but there are differences.

First of all, it is defense. The moment you conceal the ball, you must immediately launch a closed-end press and oppression. It must be fast, but it must be orderly. In the past week and a half, the team has fully trained this press and oppression.

This tactic is best at Barcelona, ​​but many people don’t know one thing. Barcelona always plays very fast when they are out of the ball, but when they are out of the ball, they slow down the rhythm. The reason is very simple. They use the ball to restore their physical fitness, and when they are out of the ball, they launch crazy pressing.

So the attitude Ye Qiu adopted is that if you can cut off my ball, I will immediately go to counter-attack, not letting you slow down the pace and force you to follow me to speed up the pace, so as to ensure that Barcelona's offense is contained to the maximum extent.

On the offensive end, Ye Qiu also has targeted arrangements, that is, flexibility.

What is elasticity? That is, I will retract first and then hit it out

As we all know, once Barcelona loses control, they will definitely invest in counter-attacks as soon as possible, and press them all over the game like crazy. At this time, Tottenham Hotspur passed the ball back. Because the focus area is in the midline and there is a wide tactical depth behind them, it is not dangerous to pass back.

When Barcelona wants to fight and grab the ball again, but find that you pass the ball back, what will they do? Rush forward as soon as possible because they like to press in the opponent's half.

That is, when we send back the other party back, there will be a large gap behind Barcelona.

Tottenham Hotspur has Pirlo in the backcourt, Thiago Silva and Kompani, who are both very good at long passes, especially Pirlo, whose long passes are among the best in the world, so Ye Qiu's approach is to pull you out after I intercept the ball, so I will reveal the flaws behind you, and then use the long pass to hit your flaws.

In this case, the attacking force invested in the front premises does not need to be much, only efficiency is required

But this tactic has its problem, that is, you must have excellent and stable ball points in the backcourt. At the same time, your players must also have sufficient ball handling ability and excellent pass and catch skills, and Tottenham Hotspurs are not short of these.

Judging from the delicateness of the players' skills, although Tottenham Hotspur is slightly inferior to Barcelona in today's football world, even Real Madrid may not be more delicate than Tottenham Hotspur.

Ye Qiu specially arranged such a targeted tactic before the game. The goal just started seemed accidental, but in fact it was still the same routine. After the first goal, the players became more determined to implement the tactics.

I saw Tottenham Hotspurs getting the ball in the frontcourt and trying to break through, but I was double-teamed by Barcelona players. The Argentine passed the ball, but Cavani was intercepted by Mascherano and successfully blocked it. Barcelona wanted to strike back.

The player Cavani has very high tactical execution. He directly threw himself into counter-attack after losing the ball. When the ball was passed to Busquets' feet, Ramsey and Vidal quickly formed an encirclement. In addition, Cavani behind him forced Busquets to pass back, and Tottenham Hotspur quickly organized defense in the middle and backcourt.

When Cavani rushed forward, Yuzhao Pique forced Pique to pass to Puyol, and Ribery also pressed Puyol, the latter passed back to goalkeeper Valdes, and Barcelona goalkeeper kicked the ball forward with a big foot, but Tottenham Hotspur's central defender Kompany steadily pushed the ball back to the midfield. There was a defensive player behind Pirlo, and he kept knocking the ball back to Thiago Silva.

The Brazilian central defender did not stick to the ball and directly passed to the right. Alves stood on the right line. Iniesta rushed towards him immediately, and Sanchez also wanted to come over to form double teams. Vidal and Messi who were retreating in front were obviously disturbed by the defensive players, so after Thiago Silva passed the ball, he immediately ran to the back and near the right line to respond.

Alves kept knocking the ball back to Thiago Silva, who was at least fifteen meters away. After the Brazilian central defender got the ball, he saw Sanchez coming over and immediately made a cross-top pass. The arc was not very large, but the speed was very fast.

The ball was close to the right side line, and the rebound was not strong after landing. Messi ran back and followed Brazil's left-back Adriano, so Messi had no choice but to stop the pass from 25 meters away to Alves who was inserted from behind.

Alves followed Iniesta next to him. When he ran forward, facing Messi's pass, he pushed the ball directly to the frontcourt and pulled it to the right, blocking Mascherano's Cavani with his body. After the Uruguayan blocked the defender with his body, he directly stopped the ball to Vidal who followed behind.

"Good Ball" This time, the continuous pass match is not only fast, but also very accurate

After Vidal stopped the ball, he passed the ball with a low ball and passed it to the right. Messi rushed forward quickly. After receiving Vidal's pass, he used his signature small step to drive the ball and broke wildly. Behind him was Busquets who returned to defense, and Adriano kept retreating from Messi slightly forward.

At this moment, the pace of the game was mentioned the fastest.

Messi's small steps and dribble adjustment ability is very fast. When he entered the right corner of the opponent's penalty area, he decisively dribbled the ball and cut inward slightly. Adriano's adjustment is also very fast. He immediately moved sideways to block Messi's direct shot angle. Cavani in the middle rushed into the penalty area, took Pique and Mascherano away, and gave up the entire front of the penalty area.

Messi dribbled the ball from the right to the top of the penalty area. Adriano finally couldn't help it and made a move to fall to the ground and let the tackle down. Because he saw Tottenham's attack hit, Ramsey and Alves came up, and Alves on the right had already rushed into the penalty area.

But Messi seemed to have been paying attention to Adriano. As soon as the Brazilian left back fell to the ground, he pulled the ball out and pushed the ball with his left foot. The ball finally passed into the penalty area. Ribery faced Messi's pass on the left, and directly stopped the ball towards the bottom line. He also started quickly. The entire stop and the start were very well connected, and Puyol was directly passed.

The Spanish defender also started quickly, but Ribery rushed forward and was faster. He directly made a low cross with his left foot. Cavani in the middle followed and beat Mascherano. With a header, the ball crossed Barcelona's goal again.

The entire White Hart Lane Stadium was completely in full swing at this moment

Cavani, who looked like an Argentinian, rushed out of Barcelona's penalty area frantically, waving his hands along the way, and hugging Ribery and Messi excitedly.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

"In the 16th minute, in the 16th minute, Tottenham Hotspur once again broke Barcelona's goal, 0"

"A header from Uruguayan center Cavani scored"

"A very, very wonderful attack, we clearly see that Tottenham Hotspur players have fully utilized their advantages and characteristics throughout the entire attack."

The live game footage repeatedly played the whole process of scoring the goal, and it did not start just from the few passes before the goal, but directly headed the ball back to Pirlo from Kompany, who then passed it to Thiago Silva. After that, several Tottenham Hotspur players passed it in a narrow range almost close to the right sideline on the wing.

"They are all passing distances of more than 15 meters. Within such a narrow range on the wing, the ball can be passed so quickly and smoothly. The Tottenham Hotspur players' pass-received ability is indeed quite amazing. It can be seen that Ye Qiu's training for them is indeed very good. Even players like Cavani and Vidal can have such pass-received ability, which is very pleasing to the eye."

"It can be said that it was the narrow and long pass of the wing that passed the ball back and forth, opening Barcelona's defense, and then Messi's dribbling into the ball and cut inward, and then distributed it to Ribery. The Frenchman's stoppage was completed in one go, showing the strength of his top superstar, and his cross was also very comfortable. Cavani headed the ball without hesitation."

During the whole process, Tottenham Hotspur had many players involved and completed the multi-foot pass. The process was very fast, but very targeted, especially the retracement of Messi and Cavani. The two of them tacitly maintained a wavy running position similar to a wave-like running position. One retreated and the other pressed forward, and one forward pressed the other, and the other retreated and responded.

"Since the 0 game was held, Barcelona has become very difficult to play, especially when the game was just in the 16th minute, it was announced that it was two goals behind. This was definitely a painful blow to Barcelona."

After Tottenham scored another goal, Guardiola seemed very depressed, raised his right hand high, looking puzzled and helpless. He obviously had no choice but to score such a goal. The opponent directly passed the ball on the side with such almost juggling pass cooperation. How could Barcelona, ​​who is known as the best at controlling the ball in the world, feel at ease?

As the game goes on, Guardiola has also begun to realize the team's problem, that is, Tottenham Hotspur consciously wants to pull Barcelona into the midfield, the quagmire of midfield, and then use his skillful and fast pass to play the space behind Barcelona. This is indeed very deadly.

Among the two goals just now, Cavani played a big role in passing and shooting, especially his fulcrum role in the game. It is obvious that Ye Qiu is working hard to build Cavani into a very comprehensive and all-round center.

Standing on the sidelines, Guardiola looked at the players on the court. He found that two goals were behind, which made the Barcelona players on the court look very disappointed and helpless, and even looked a little overwhelmed.

Perhaps, the past two years have been too smooth, so they think they are invincible in the world and forget a very important fact, that is, Barcelona, ​​which is called the strongest in Europe by countless people, has not encountered Tottenham Hotspur in the past two seasons.

Although it only took more than ten minutes, Guardiola was very clear that in the past two years, Ye Qiu had at least strategically removed him and his Barcelona again.

"He is right, this Tottenham Hotspur team is completely different from Tottenham Hotspur two years ago and a year ago."
