"We lost! We lost completely! We should also lose!"

This is Mourinho's first sentence when he was asked by reporters at the post-match press conference. He looks like he has no past rebelliousness and iron teeth from the past. Now he looks full of frustration and disappointment.

For him, this game was a great humiliation because his team lost a lot.

"We have lost, but in many games in the past, no matter how bad we play, at least we will have some opportunities. However, in this game, we have almost no chance. What I see is a team, crazy and unscrupulous, pressing my team against each other, but we have no ability to resist, just like a bully child."

Mourinho shook his head, "This is not the strength and level that a team that is determined to compete for the Premier League championship should show. On the contrary, with our performance today, we should relegate!"

"In the first half, we gave our opponents too much space, especially in the midfield, we lacked a sense of sharpness. Even when we held the ball, our overall formation was not compact enough, which made our pass mistakes ridiculously many, but this was not just the pressure from our opponents, we lost this game ourselves!"

"During the break, I told the players that I have coached for so many years and I was able to clearly realize the special nature of this game. I told them that if we continue to perform in the first half, we will pay the price in the second half. As a result, everyone saw it!"

Mourinho shook his head again and sighed, "I don't want to shirk responsibility, because as a head coach, I have to take on all the responsibilities. Even if I'm fired tomorrow, I feel it's normal because I'm the head coach!"

"But if I make a choice again, I will not arrange for any of these eleven people to start the game. I would rather go to the youth team to choose any eleven people, and I will not choose them. I am very, very disappointed with this game!"

Ye Qiu, who was sitting next to Mourinho, took the initiative to defend the Portuguese. He believed that Mourinho's team had structural shortcomings, which was exactly the problem in the team's transfer operation in the summer, and should not be blamed on the head coach. After all, Mourinho has done well enough.

"Everyone knows that a pair of down-standing central defenders and a combination of a central defender who loves to be 'inserted', this structure is a problem in itself, which is a problem that no head coach can overcome. So I don't think Mourinho should be responsible for this game. If anyone comes, the result may be the same."

But Ye Qiu also repeatedly emphasized that he could not believe his big victory in this game, but he highly praised the players' performance in this game, especially Matic who firmly helped the team control the midfield in the game.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, we have all noticed that in several key games this season, you arranged for Matic to start, and this Serbian midfielder averaged more than 13 kilometers per game, and the midfield control was also quite outstanding. Does this mean that you will gradually replace Pirlo with Matic?"

Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head, "I have to reiterate my thoughts again. Pirlo and Matic, and even any member of the team, are crucial to Tottenham Hotspur, but we must consider a reality, that is, Pirlo is already thirty-four years old and he can't play every game."

"The standard and requirement of our Tottenham Hotspur is to arrange the most suitable starting players. Just like a week before playing Chelsea, I told Pirlo that you should take a break and prepare for the second round of the Champions League group stage, so I let Matic start in this game, and I think every game is very important!"

"In my opinion, the most suitable and ideal thing is that we reasonably allocate the playing time of each player, just like Pirlo and Matic, allocate their playing time reasonably so that they can play in the best shape every time they play. I think this is something that the coaching staff and the players themselves are very happy to see and accept."

Ye Qiu's answer was also affirmed by Pirlo after the game. Although he was not included in the starting lineup in this game, and he did not even have a big roster, he confirmed Ye Qiu's words in an interview with the media after the game, saying that he did have an agreement with Ye Qiu before that he hoped to play in the Champions League, so he played Matic against Chelsea in the league.

"I know a lot of people, including football fans, are worried about my position on the team, but I want to say, I've had a great time at Tottenham Hotspur, I'm in my third season here, I love it, except for the weather in London!"

But Pirlo also said that he would reconsider whether to stay with the team after the season ended.

In fact, in the second round of the Champions League group stage in the middle of the week, Ye Qiu did arrange for Pirlo to start. And when Tottenham Hotspur encountered the tenacious sniper of the Donetsk Miners in Ukraine, in the 38th minute, Pirlo used his scalpel-like straight pass to assist Ramsey and then "inserted" into the penalty area and broke the goal to score.

After the start of this season, the Welsh midfielder was in a somewhat outrageous state, especially after the accumulation of last season, his confidence and experience have been further improved, and he has shown a very outstanding state this season.

Amazing running and coverage, ubiquitous pick-up and throw-out, and increasingly creative and organizational skills have made Ramsey's role in Tottenham Hotspur team increasingly powerful, and has also caused his performance in the team to become more and more outstanding.

In the second half, Pirlola received the ball from the right side outside the 30-meter area and passed it diagonally in the middle of the penalty area. Drogba beat Donetsk's central defender headed the ball to break the goal, 2:0!

This is also the biggest problem with the Donetsk miners' defense line. Their average height is over one meter, and the highest player is 1.84 meters. In addition to Rakitsky, all of them are over 30 years old. They can be said to be an old defense line, so Ye Qiu went to Drogba. Although he is also a veteran, Drogba's impact and high ball advantage are still very obvious.

After leading two goals, Tottenham Hotspur continued to adopt an offensive strategy. Ramsey once "inserted" and received Drogba's knockback and passed directly behind him. Messi rushed into the penalty area and calmly pushed the "shot" to hit, 3:0!

This time, the Donetsk miners completely lost their fighting spirit, and the old coach Lucescu was also frustrated on the sidelines.

Immediately afterwards, Messi scored two goals in a row and had an assist, while Ribery made a pass and a "shot". The Donetsk Miners didn't steal a goal until the last moment. In the end, Tottenham Hotspurs defeated the Donetsk Miners 6:1 away away.

Tottenham Hotspur’s unstoppable momentum this season has not only surprised the fans and media of the outside world, but even Tottenham Hotspur, including Ye Qiu, are surprised.

In Ye Qiu's original plan, this season should be a transitional season. Not only him, everyone thinks that the stable transition this season is more important than the results, but the development of the matter surprised everyone.

So far this season, Tottenham Hotspur has been almost invincible. Not only has he won six consecutive victories in the Premier League, but he has also won very neatly in every game. The same is true for the Champions League group stage. Tottenham Hotspur has an overwhelming advantage in almost every game.

What is even more surprising is that Tottenham Hotspur has shown three different midfield configurations and styles this season.

One is to play Pirlo, continuing the 433 tactics of last season, with two overseasons arranged in front of them, and two oversea midfielders with both offense and defense; the other is to play Matic, which switches to 4231 tactics. This style of play team has the strongest attack power; the last is to play Matic or Stroman, and the team still plays 433 tactics, which is the most controllable.

Although Ye Qiu said at the European Coach Summit that the future trend is to give up the midfield, this kind of abandonment does not mean that you don’t want the midfield, but that you quickly pass the midfield and give up the battle for control of the midfield. However, the importance of the midfield is still very great, because without a midfield, who will support the front-court offense and who will assist in the back-court defense?

Tottenham Hotspur’s three different midfield configurations greatly enrich the team’s tactical changes and methods. Ye Qiu can choose different tactical plays according to different types of opponents and perform large-scale rotation and adjustments.

It was like using Pirlo to play 433 tactics and defeating the Donetsk miners 6-1 away, Tottenham Hotspur returned to London and took over the Stratford Stadium, and exchanged for the 4231 tactics, or 424 tactics. At its home court, with goals from Kompany, Lewandowski and Pogba, he defeated West Ham United 3-0.

This is the first East London derby. Although West Ham United's midfield lineup is very strong, as Lucio and Carvalho grow old, there are problems in the backcourt metabolism, resulting in a mess of the team's defense. Ranieri's coach position this season is also facing threats and turmoil. Losing to Tottenham Hotspur 0:3 away, undoubtedly aggravated this crisis.

After playing West Ham United, the national team match day is ushering in two weeks. The coaching staff also feel relieved, but some problems must be determined, and that is the goal of this season!

…………

…………

The coaching room at Theobord training base is very large because Ye Qiu has always believed in the principle of fairness. For example, all tables in Tottenham Hotspur restaurants are round tables, and all main players, substitutes and even youth team players are eating at a round table, which reflects a kind of fairness.

The same is true in the coaching room. Except for the head coach who has a separate office, the other coaching staff members work together.

Therefore, it is also a very simple time to hold a coaching team meeting. When everyone is there, walk in and say it, the meeting will begin without any delay.

"I think we should adjust the team's goals this season!" Mao Luo Tasotti proposed to hold a coaching team meeting, so naturally he proposed the first topic of the meeting.

"To be honest, so far this season, the team's performance has been beyond everyone's expectations. I think this is an explosion accumulated by the team in the past few years. The team is full of talents and all the players are ambitious. We must set corresponding goals and give them enough motivation!"

‘Mao’ Luo Tasotti is now the direct controller of the locker room. He knows very clearly that the current atmosphere within the team is very good. All the players feel that with the team’s current state and momentum, they should be more ambitious.

Sometimes setting goals does not necessarily mean achieving them, but a way to prove one's ambitions.

Just like before every season, Wenger said he wanted to win the championship, Mourinho also said he wanted to win the championship, Benitez said he wanted to win the championship, and Moyes also shouted to win the championship, but the problem is that there are only one champion, and so many people, how to divide it?

According to some people, these guys are nonsense. When they can’t win the championship, they will be a great humiliation. But is this really the case?

Everyone should have a goal. Winning the championship is their goal. It is naturally the best to achieve it. If it cannot be achieved, it should not be ridiculed because he has worked hard for this goal. What is there to ridicule? What is worth sarcastic about and sarcasm for others?

If you are afraid of being ridiculed by some people, then it is simple. Every season, all the head coaches say that my goal is to relegate or relegate, then no one will laugh at you, because no matter how bad you do, you will achieve your goals.

But for Tottenham Hotspur, for Manchester United, and for teams like Liverpool, such a goal has become a laughing stock? Isn’t it a ridiculous thing?

Therefore, before the season, Ye Qiu adopted a low-key strategy and refused to discuss winning the championship, but did not set a clear goal because he knew very well that this season was a transitional 'nature', but the team played to this level and the strength shown by the team, if you can't show the goal of making the players work hard and work hard, the players will gradually lose their fighting spirit.

To put it bluntly, the goal is to hang a piece of carrot in front of the donkey’s head!

After Ye Qiu finished speaking with "Mao" Tasotti, he looked around the people in the coaching room and found that everyone's expressions were recognition and excitement. It was obvious that they had discussed this matter before, and most of them should have passed and supported it.

So he also smiled, "What do you think our goal should be?"

Fatty Luo slapped the desk hard and stood up, "That's all the champions, no one left, they're all covered!"

This guy said as if he was as simple and easy as going to the red light district in Amsterdam to book those ladies.

Everyone in the coaching room laughed, but no one questioned Roland's statement. From the expressions of many of them, it can be easily seen that for them, it seems that the goal they mentioned is what they should strive for. As for what they say is low-key and transition, it is nonsense.

For Tottenham Hotspur, even in the transition period and metabolic period, the goal should be to win the championship!

Ye Qiu felt that he had greatly underestimated his subtle influence on the team for seven or eight years, because from the current internal atmosphere of the team and some details shown by the team's coaching staff and management, Ye Qiu could see that this team is full of ambition and a domineering spirit of a team of "goals"!

This temperament is precisely what Ye Qiu has been instilling into the team over the past few years. For Ye Qiu, he should be proud and proud of himself for discovering this, because this temperament has penetrated into every corner of the team, everyone's body and heart, and even guided everyone's behavior.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu also smiled and nodded, "Okay, since everyone thinks that this goal should be set, then set it. Now there are two weeks, 'Mao' Luo!" Ye Qiu looked at 'Mao' Luo Tasotti, "You go to the Stratford Stadium with Roland today and talk to the administrative department, especially the bonus issue!"

Tottenham Hotspur has been adhering to the salary structure in the past few years, and the salary is mainly divided into weekly salary and business income. This is also reported by the outside media, but in fact, many people have overlooked another point, that is, Tottenham Hotspur’s huge bonus.

Not to mention anything else, the team won the Premier League and Champions League last season, and Tottenham Hotspur paid a total of 30 million euros, which is second to none in European football, and this does not include the more than one million prizes for the Club World Cup championship, nor does it include the prizes for the club coaching staff and other staff.

Tottenham Hotspur’s prize money has always been quite high, which is also the strategy pursued by Ye Qiu and Peter Kenion, because the prize money is linked to the team’s performance. Once the team’s performance is good, your income will be high. If the income is high, it proves that your ability to pay to the players will also improve. This is a kind of "sexual" interaction.

Just as many people who don’t know the details criticize Tottenham’s salary structure, some people who have a little bit of it think it’s wrong, because if Tottenham simply considers salary, it’s really not high, or even low, but business income and performance bonuses are relatively high.

The former is linked to the player's personal image and stadium performance, while the latter is linked to the overall team. Tottenham Hotspur adopts an internal transparent operating mechanism through these two methods, so that all players can clearly realize how they should get higher and more income.

Moreover, by adopting this model, the team's operating pressure will be relatively small.

Ye Qiu asked Mao Luo Tasotti and Roland to go to the administrative department to discuss, which was equivalent to delegating power to Mao Luo Tasotti to operate. Once this matter is successful, Mao Luo Tasotti's prestige within the team will be established at once.

Managing a football club and managing a company are actually similar in essence. Controlling financial and personnel transfers often hold great power. "Mao" Tasotti has now obtained financial power, and Ye Qiu will gradually transfer personnel power to him, such as formulating the starting list for each game, etc.
