Ye Qiu has always believed in one thing, that is, if you simply analyze a game as the object, tactical game is the key factor in determining the outcome of this game.

The so-called tactical game here actually does not mean that the 44 formation is outdated, or the rise of the 3l tactics, or that the incisive wingers are popular in the entire Premier League. These are not considered tactical games, but can only be said to be confrontation in the overall situation. The so-called tactical game depends on a lot of details on the court.

Tottenham Hotspur did not play Messi in this game, and the Argentine rested, but Ye Qiu arranged three midfielders, Ramsey, Matic and Vidal, and Ribery, Lewandowski and Hazard in the frontcourt.

Many people think that Ye Qiu was in a bad situation in the first half and was one goal behind, and he was likely to make considerable changes during the halftime break, especially looking at his exaggerated movements and expressions when directing the game in the first half, everyone felt his dissatisfaction with the team's current situation.

Since you are so dissatisfied, you should make large-scale adjustments, and you may even replace three players in one go.

But what's interesting is that Ye Qiu is not like this. When the players of the two teams returned to the player channel, everyone was surprised to find that Tottenham Hotspur had almost no major changes or adjustments, and they were still the same in the first half.

Manchester City did not change much, and they still adopted the tactics of the first half, moving the defense forward through high-level defense, cutting off Tottenham's pass and catch and run and switch routes, and then striving to control the ball under their feet, so that they can avoid themselves from defending in the backcourt.

Manchester City's initiative in the first half actually relies on this set of tactics to achieve the effect, so many people think that Pellegrini should continue to use the advantages of the first half. Considering that the scene in the last few minutes of the first half is a bit passive, the Chilean engineers may ask the team to play more securely, such as striving for more ball possession.

At first glance, there was no substitution or change, and there seemed to be no big change. Even if he just saw the appearance, no one could see any of them. Even if Ferguson sat in the stands, it would be difficult for him to see the changes between the two sides.

But after the game really starts, more and more people will smell the changes in Tottenham Hotspur over time.

During the fifteen minutes of the halftime break, Ye Qiu made three adjustments to the team.

Hazard and Ribery on the wing were asked to retreat by Ye Qiu. To what extent did they retreat? To the point where Matic, who was dragging behind, could pass the ball, but it was not that the two wingers were required to retreat too deeply, but that Matic pushed forward appropriately, so one retreated and the other moved forward, and the two were connected in series.

But this is just the first adjustment, and the second adjustment is Ramsey. The Welshman's position was pushed forward by Ye Qiu. He occupied the middle of the frontcourt, close to the front midfielder, just in front of De Rossi. When defending, he happened to face De Rossi, limiting the connection between the opponent's two back midfielders.

When attacking, Matic more often went to the side and found two wingers who were retreating.

When the winger takes the ball, the opponent's fullback cannot be suppressed. If the opponent's fullback goes up, Ramsey quickly inserts the gap left after the fullback is inserted. Lewandowski also tries to pull to this side to meet, and then breaks through the opponent's side in the shortest time, and then creates a threat in the penalty area through another winger and Lewandowski, and even Vidal's back insertion to form a second wave of attack.

The last adjustment is that the team's ball is transferred to Matic as much as possible. Vidal acts as a contact point and defensive role beside Matic. The central defender is only responsible for supporting and long passes to the diagonal, while the full-back is more contact and retreating wingers.

This was also what Ye Qiu discovered after observing the situation in the first half. In this game, Manchester City emphasized ball control because they did not plan to adopt a defensive strategy. They did not defend the defense several times before, so this time Pellegrini bravely pushed it out, but their defense line was not strong. After pressing it out, the risk was relatively high, so they needed to control the ball.

Manchester City's main offensive routine this season is still the wing, but Manchester City's wingers Nasri, Van der Fate and Modric, who occasionally plays a guest appearance, are both of those who play balls on the wing or cut and pass the ball. Only Navas is a winger who breaks through the wing, but in this game, Navas did not go to Nasri and Van der Fate.

The front is a combination of Negredo and Aguero, but the interesting thing is that Negredo retreats, while Aguero is at the forefront, which is very interesting, because in this set of tactics, the role played by Negredo is actually the front court fulcrum, which is formed with Yaya O Toure, two tower fulcrums, one in front and one behind the midfield.

In Manchester City's entire offensive tactical system, the role of the wing lane is very great. In this game, Pellegrini went to two wingers who took the ball to organize the ball to further strengthen the team's ability to organize the ball to organize the ball, but this also caused another phenomenon, that is, the width and width of Manchester City can only be achieved by inserting the full-backs into the attack.

So after Pellegrini took over Manchester City, he had stronger offensive ability and better crossing, but his left-back Kolarov, who had relatively weak defense, performed very well, becoming the main force of the team and suppressed Krish.

But the problem is also obvious, that is, offensive full-backs are inevitably subject to defensive risks.

Therefore, Ye Qiu arranged for the winger to retreat and get the ball, and then asked Ramsey to press and penetrate the wing. In fact, they were all for the purpose of targeting Manchester City's weakness, but these were only in the frontcourt, and they all needed to pass the ball to the frontcourt in the middle and backcourt to exert threats. So Ye Qiu had subsequent arrangements.

Many fans who have never played football, or those who have not encountered a left-footed player one-on-one, find it difficult to realize the advantages of a left-footed player.

In fact, you can imagine that a player who is good at right foot has to defend a left foot player face to face. This will encounter a very, very embarrassing situation for a right foot player, because he will find it difficult to effectively oppress and restrict the opponent, and even if the right foot will be inappropriate to this side.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, in the real world where the right foot will be everywhere, the left foot will often be very popular, especially the left foot passer, which is very advantageous, second only to the two-foot player, because it is difficult for the opponent to directly oppress the left foot player.

Just like Tottenham Hotspur's two midfielders, Matic and Stroman, are both left-footed players, so they have an advantage in getting the ball and passing the ball, especially Matic. So Ye Qiu arranged for Matic to get more balls in order to increase his chances of getting the ball and pass more, especially to long passes on both sides to launch an attack.

After the halftime break, at first glance, Tottenham Hotspur didn't seem to have changed much, but in fact, the changes were very large, and at the beginning of the second half, it quickly showed a threat.

Matic stayed in the half of his side, with Thiago Silva and Varane behind him, and Vidal not far from the right side.

Although Vidal is not close to him, Matic is not worried at all, because he knows this Chilean teammate very well. He knows Vidal's athletic ability. As long as the opponent attacks, Vidal can go up and steal as soon as possible. If he doesn't get the snatch, he can also retreat to his side as soon as possible and act as his own thug.

There is also Ramsey in front, who is also a player with strong athletic ability. With such a teammate by his side, Matic is not under great pressure to defend. On the contrary, when he becomes more and more familiar with Tottenham Hotspur teammates and the team's entire tactical system and begins to integrate into it, he finds that he is becoming more and more at ease.

"The midfielder gets the ball, the first priority is to pass it to Matic."

The arrangements made by head coach Ye Qiu during the intermission made Matic a little surprised, although not surprised.

In the past, Ye Qiu told him more than once that he should be more proactive in asking for and getting the ball, but Matic rarely did this, and other teammates seemed to regard him as a trusted defensive player of the team.

They all believe in him very much, but in their eyes, Matic and Pirlo are two completely different players.

When Pirlo comes on the court, they will always pass the ball to Pirlo without knowing it. Once they lose the ball, they will also consciously help Pirlo defend because they understand Pirlo and trust Pirlo.

In the eyes of many Tottenham Hotspur players, Matic is not Pirlo. If Pirlo needs someone to help defend but can pass a series of good balls to form an assist, then Matic should be the other way around. He doesn't need anyone to worry about his defense, but the ball is at his feet, which is more of a transition.

In this case, for Matic, the ball is to go in and out quickly and reduce risks.

This is also Matic's usual style of playing from Southampton to now for more than a year. Even though he used to be a central advancement with quite good skills, at least, his teammates' impression of him is this.

But this time, Ye Qiu was very open and told them very directly and frankly, passing the ball to Matic.

From the eyes of many teammates, Matic can read some information, such as surprise, doubt, such as distrust.

He didn't feel surprised because he was not Pirlo, he was Matic. Almost everyone in the world felt that the reason he was able to join Tottenham Hotspur was because of his defense and coverage, as well as his ability to handle the ball quickly.

Can he pass a good ball?

I believe that at this moment, Tottenham Hotspur, who is waiting for the game to start again, are all suspicious.

Just before the game started, I saw Vidal walking back a little.

This guy with a cockscomb head grinned and showed his white teeth. His skin was not dark, but his teeth were very white.

"I'm still closer to you, safe," Vidal said with a smile.

Matic smiled slightly, but didn't laugh, just nodded slightly.

Just at this moment, the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, but when the whistle sounded, Matic looked over again, but found that the cockscomb head that had just run back and said he was going to be closer to him, had rushed forward in a blink of an eye and was about to grab the ball.

"Is this called getting closer to me?" Matic shook his head in his heart with a bitter smile, but he quickly moved to the right.

Sure enough, Yaya Toure dribbled forward and was entangled by Vidal. He wanted to pass the ball to find Van der Fate who cut inside, but Matic cut the ball in advance and was cut to Hazard who was retracing.

However, Manchester City quickly organized a counter-attack. Hazard immediately knocked back, and Matic returned to Kyle or Walker, who passed back to the penalty area to find Varane. The French central defender was very keen on the sway. After stopping the ball, he raised his hand and signaled the team to stabilize.

Manchester City's first wave of on-site counter-robbery was also suspended because they also had to worry that if the on-site counter-robbery was too strong this time, they would lose their position, reveal a flaw behind them, and be counterattacked by Tottenham Hotspur, then they would not have the money to lose.

Varane led forward and left the penalty area. He saw Negredo pushing forward, so he divided the ball to the right and gave it to Kyle O Walker. At this time, Tottenham Hotspur had already begun to push the overall formation in an orderly manner. Kyle O Walker dribbled forward and came to the area near the center line, almost on par with the midfielder Matic.

Kyle O Walker was pressed and passed along the right to the retracement Hazard.

The Belgian took the ball with his back against the right line. Seeing Kolarov pressing up, Yaya Toure seemed to want to double-team Hazard with Kolarov, but at this moment, Vidal ran over and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Hazard passed the ball directly to Vidal, and Yaya Toure immediately turned a corner and forced it to Vidal. The Chilean quickly passed the ball back to Varane, Varane passed it horizontally to Thiago Silva, and the Brazilian central defender passed it to Matic in front of him.

The entire pass transition was a touch of the ball. The ball quickly came to Matic, who was on the left side of the center circle. De Rossi quickly pressed up, but saw Matic pulling the ball to his left side, blocking De Rossi with his body, and rubbing his left foot into the ball with a long diagonal pass.

The ball drew an arc from the left side of the middle circle and landed on the right side of Manchester City's penalty area, while Ramsey quickly penetrated the right side from the middle, throwing Kolarov, who realized something was wrong, behind him.

Facing Matic's long diagonal pass, Ramsey stopped the ball in his chest, and as soon as he landed, Demikalis came up, but Ramsey did not stick to the ball, but passed the ball to the bottom line between the large penalty area and the small penalty area.

Just at this time, Lewandowski rushed to the baseline behind Vertonheng. Before the ball was qualifying, he stopped and pulled, blocked Demikelis with his body, and turned around and wanted to shoot by himself. But at this time, Sabaleta appeared behind Demikelis, and Lewandowski had to stop the action.

Lewandowski's action ended, which made the blocking action, and Lewandowski pushed the ball to the right without any hesitation. He saw Ribery rushing outside the small penalty area and directly pushing the ball towards the ball. The ball penetrated into Manchester City's goal.

For a moment, there was a burst of cheers in the entire Wembley Stadium.

This is London, and Tottenham Hotspur fans occupy nearly two-thirds of the seats at Wembley Stadium, so when Ribery scored, the momentum created by the fans completely surpassed Manchester City, allowing everyone to feel the power and momentum of Tottenham Hotspur fans.

"In just less than three minutes of the second half, Tottenham Hotspur successfully equalized the score, l"

With the replay of the live TV camera, the live TV commentator also praised it, "Matic's long diagonal pass landed well, the arc was also very good, the receiver was very comfortable, and he could directly face Vertonheng after stopping the ball, and Ramsey was obviously prepared for a long time. This should be Tottenham Hotspur's offensive routine."

"This time Kolarov's position is a bit forward. He was unable to retreat to the back line in time to defend Tottenham Hotspur's attack from the right, and Ramsey sprinted to the right, further amplifying his mistakes. If he could return to the penalty area to defend at this time, Manchester City's defense line would not be broken so easily."

The live TV camera was also given to the sidelines. After seeing Ribery receive Lewandowski's goal, Ye Qiu raised his arms and shouted excitedly, looking very confident of winning, which also aggravated everyone's thoughts, that is, this change in the second half was Ye Qiu's midfield adjustment.

"It's really a magician. Ye Qiu's midfield adjustment achieved immediate results from the beginning of the second half. Now both sides have returned to the same starting line, it depends on how Pellegrini takes the next move."

But the commentator had just finished his words less than two minutes after that, another pass from Tottenham Hotspur was Tottenham Hotspur. Matic scored a long pass from the backcourt on the left. The ball landed on the right side of the arc area ahead of Manchester City's penalty area. Lewandowski quickly grabbed the first landing point this time, blocked Vertonheng with his body, and stopped the ball into the penalty area with his chest.

Joe Hart reacted immediately, abandoned the goal and tried to save Lewandowski's ball, but he was still a step slower. Lewandowski rushed up as fast as possible, snatched Joe Hart, then chased the ball, pushed his right foot, and the ball entered Manchester City's goal again.

reverse

Lewandowski was so excited that he rushed out of the stadium, clenched his fists and shouted along the way, and kept cheering at the fans in the stands. I and he also helped the team score a goal to overtake. This goal was almost enough to bring a League Cup championship to Tottenham Hotspur

All Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stands at Wembley Stadium also shouted that although only half a year has passed, they have been completely conquered by the Polish striker. Lewandowski used his strength to prove that he has the ability to replace Cavani on Tottenham Hotspur's striker and he has the strength and potential to become a top striker.

"Perhaps it's hard to tell whether Cavani is outstanding or Lewandowski is stronger, but we can clearly know that Lewandowski, who has a 20 million euros, has successfully replaced Cavani, who has a 100 million euros worth."
