Volume 1 Chapter 525 Defeating Manchester United is like playing!

After Ribery returned from injury, how to adjust the team's attacking combination in the front court has obviously become a big problem for Ye Qiu, after all, Gareth Bale's performance this season is also quite impressive, and the young Welshman is also very clear that he needs more game time.

But what is even more worrying is the battle for the attacking heart between Ribery and Messi

In last season, the attacking core of Tottenham Hotspur was Ribery, the French winger was very smooth and scored frequently, and logically, Van Persie and Messi were more for him, and with Ribery seriously injured and suspended for most of the season, Messi quickly established his status and influence in the team and became the team's number one superstar.

From the perspective of this season, Messi has performed quite well whether he plays on the right side or in the middle, and he is currently the team's top scorer with a total of 35 goals on all fronts, but at the same time, he also has 15 assists, which is quite impressive.

Therefore, many people are worried that if Ribery and Messi play at the same time, how will Ye Qiu adjust the distribution of firepower between these two players? Can these two superstars, who were originally the team's bosses, coexist harmoniously?

There was even a lot of media speculation that Messi decided to leave Manchester City in the summer, in addition to the sky-high transfer fee of 150 million euros given by Manchester City, and the three times the annual salary of Tottenham Hotspur made him very satisfied, and more importantly, Manchester City promised to build a super team with him as the core.

It is difficult for Tottenham Hotspur to refute the speculation of the outside media, but in the game against Everton, the two players gave the fans a satisfactory answer.

Tottenham Hotspur's performance in this game is not very ideal, Everton's performance this season is quite good, especially against strong teams, they are not at all behind even in the face of Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and other teams, Moyes's strength in adjusting the mid-stream team is amazing, and in this game, Everton is also counterattacking with defense at home, which makes Tottenham Hotspur very headache.

But just when everyone was looking forward to seeing whether it was Ribery or Messi, and who of the two superstars would stand up to break the current predicament of Tottenham Hotspur, Van Persie was incredibly the number one protagonist of the game.

David Silva struck a through ball and Franck Franck Ribery crossed from the left side of the box, Everton left-back Lescott was pulled to the back post by Messi, and Van Persie was unmarked and easily slotted into the net to find the back of the net to find the back of the net for Tim Howard.

But just two minutes later, Messi broke through Lescott and Jagielka on the right in succession, and crossed to Van Persie in a very tight area of the box, who easily stopped the ball near the penalty spot and fired home with a powerful shot, 0

In less than three minutes, Tottenham Hotspur attacked twice in a row and penetrated Everton's goal in a row, but it was not the expected Ribery and Messi who broke the deadlock on the field, but Van Persie.

However, everyone can see that the biggest contributor to Van Persie's goal is actually Ribery and Messi, the first goal is Ribery breaking through to draw the attention of defenders, and the second goal is Messi pulling away Lescott and Giagielka, creating space for Van Persie.

At the post-match press conference, Ye Qiu publicly commented and praised the outstanding performance of Ribery and Messi, believing that their role is not only reflected in the two assists, but they have been working hard to help their team create chances throughout the game, which is undoubtedly a situation he very much wants to see.

"They are the kind of players who can bring more contributions to the whole team, they are all very comprehensive, they can not only take the ball on the side to form a breakthrough, but also can dribble inside, and have the ability to score in the penalty area, and their presence can help the team to connect the left, center and right three deep displays to form a powerful three-dimensional offensive combination."

As for Gareth Bale, Ye Qiu feels that the Welshman has extraordinary potential and is quite good now, but he still needs to continue to improve because he is still young and has a long way to go.

But when the media talked about it-for-tat, he was also nineteen years old, but Messi had become the core of Tottenham Hotspur back then, so why couldn't Gareth Bale play the main force at Tottenham Hotspur?

In the face of this sensitive issue, Ye Qiu said that the players' technical characteristics are different, the environment is different, and the experience is naturally different, but he also promised that Gareth Bale will be given more opportunities to play.

As for Tottenham Hotspur's one-day game, Manchester United defeated Manchester City 40 at home, Ye Qiu said that he had seen that Manchester United performed well in this game, but he did not think Tottenham Hotspur was under pressure.

'I've always told my players that we have only one enemy in the Premier League so far this season, and that is ourselves, and if we end up losing the league it will be a problem for all of us, because only Tottenham Hotspur can beat Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United can't threaten us at all, they can't put pressure on us'

'I think we should show the temperament of a league title contender, we need to give our all in every game and try to win every next game, as long as we do well enough, then the title must be ours'

Regarding Ye Qiu's remarks at the post-match press conference, team captain Thiago Silva also gave support.

The Tottenham Hotspur captain said with confidence: "The atmosphere in the dressing room is good at the moment, maybe we have had a bit of a tough game in the last few games, but it is not because we are not strong enough, but we are in a big adjustment phase because we have just gone through a very dense devilish schedule, but I believe we can hold on until the end"

Beckham, the team's vice-captain and the number one superstar, reminded the team with his experience, "At this stage we should completely forget about the Champions League final, that is meaningless for our current league title competition, we should focus all our energy on the league, strive to win the remaining two games, beat Manchester City and Liverpool, and try to win the league title"

After Ye Qiu played Everton, he gave the team a day off, and after returning to the Theobold training base, he immediately held an internal mobilization meeting of the team, in this meeting, Ye Qiu asked everyone in the team to strive to win Manchester City and Liverpool, and also gave the team an incentive, that is, to increase the team's double championship bonus.

But more importantly, Ye Qiu asked Beckham and the team's psychologists to make a brief analysis and communication with the players on the spot, especially Beckham, who has a very rich experience in multi-front operations at Manchester United, especially in the season when Manchester United reversed Bayern Munich to win the treble, this experience is very valuable to Tottenham Hotspur.

Beckham did not hide it at all, and told everyone at the meeting about the pressure that Manchester United was under back then, when Manchester United was under more pressure than Tottenham Hotspur now, they were not only sniped by Arsenal in the league, but also played very hard in the Champions League, almost all the way to the final was a reversal, and there was also an FA Cup game.

"The biggest test for players on multiple fronts is not physical, but mental," Beckham said to all his Tottenham team-mates, "especially in the second half of the season, everyone will inevitably have a kind of slackness, telling themselves that if you hold on for two more games, hold on for three more games, the season will be over and we can rest." ”

"From a psychological point of view, the weakest time for people is not when you are most tired, but when you feel that you can rest, so the best time for a sneak attack in ancient wars was not in the middle of the night, but before dawn, and now, we are in the pre-dawn period"

"It's not impossible to overcome this mentality, but don't expect others to help you, no one can help you with theoretical problems, you can only rely on yourself, but I think there is an effective way, that is, every day, every minute and every second in your heart to warn yourself, focus, dedication, hard work, perseverance

Ye Qiu thinks Beckham's experience is very good, and several psychology experts in the team also analyze the psychological problems that may exist in Tottenham Hotspur's players from a professional point of view, which can basically be summarized into two categories, either unconscious psychological laxity, or too much pressure, both of which are not very good psychology.

Sometimes Ye Qiu was thinking, in this world, you can really only experience it if you have experienced it yourself.

It's like the current situation of Tottenham Hotspur, if you don't have personal experience, no matter how much you talk to them, they won't understand, at most they understand verbally, but psychologically, but once they have the experience of this season, the next time they encounter something like this again, then they will be more calm, this is a kind of progress.

In addition to holding internal mobilization meetings to help players get out of psychological pressure, Ye Qiu also arranged for the coaching staff to try to help the team build a relaxed game atmosphere during the training program and the usual team activities, but this time Ye Qiu did not adopt closed training again, but minimized the interference of the media.

Sometimes you say don't have pressure here, but on the other side you are nervous as if facing a big enemy, the players are nothing on the surface, but the pressure in their hearts may be greater, it is better to let go directly and let them go.

Tottenham Hotspur is under pressure, but Manchester United isn't necessarily under pressure.

Ferguson's team is also holding a mobilization meeting after playing Manchester City, and Ferguson even shouted in an interview with the media that he wants to fight for the next two consecutive wins, leaving all the pressure to Tottenham Hotspur.

'In terms of fixtures, we have the advantage and I firmly believe that Tenham Hotspur will make mistakes and we will use their mistakes to knock them off the top of the league completely'

And in an interview, Ferguson repeatedly emphasized the Champions League final, this damn Scottish old man knows very well that the Champions League final is the dream of professional players, and defending the Champions League is a temptation that all Tottenham Hotspur players can hardly refuse.

Ye Qiu is not to be outdone, thinking that it will be difficult for Manchester United to win, whether it is Arsenal or the relegation team Hull City, they will snipe Manchester United with all their might, and Manchester United has a huge weakness, that is, as long as two players are strangled, they can freeze Manchester United's attack.

One is Tevez, the other is Dimitar Berbatov, if you can go further, then directly suppress Manchester United's midfield, as long as you do these points, beating Manchester United is like playing.

Beating Manchester United is like playing?

After the media listened to Ye Qiu's words, they couldn't help laughing, because Manchester United's two worst defeats this season were planted in the hands of Tottenham Hotspur, one was the Community Shield, and the other was the first leg of the Champions League semifinals.

Therefore, to a certain extent, it seems that Ye Qiu is not too much to say this.

The more critical the season, the more exciting the war of words between Ye Qiu and Ferguson, the two famous coaches have put on a full swing, and they have to do everything to fight for the league championship, and both sides are doing everything possible to disturb each other's arrangement.

This round of war of words began to be fought on Tuesday, one round a day, you come and go, no one is to be outdone, and it has been fought until Saturday.

Manchester United hosts Arsenal, both sides have played a very difficult game, Arsenal since Wenger reused Alexander Song, the defensive strength of the midfield has been improved to a certain extent, the defense has also been stabilized and solid, and the away game actively responds with defensive counterattacks.

Manchester United is ambitious to swallow Arsenal in one go, and launched a fierce attack with home advantage at the beginning, but neither side can easily defeat the opponent, the game played 90 minutes, the atmosphere in the stadium was very hot on both sides, and the referee's final five-minute extra long stoppage time also caused a huge controversy.

In the end, it was Tevez who cut off Gallas's ball at a crucial moment to form a one-on-one goal, and the Argentine beast used his hard work and diligence to help Manchester United get three points.

But at the same time, Tottenham Hotspur is also at their home stadium, after a week of recuperation, in a clean L defeated the visiting Manchester City, the latter has not formed a fighting force this season, Mark Hughes's Manchester City journey is estimated to be coming to an end, after all, with such a large investment in the season, to the most lull to get the league mid-table ranking, it is indeed unsatisfactory.

At the end of the 37th round of the league, the outside media was like a holiday, Wenger took the lead in firing the shot, thinking that the referee deliberately favored Manchester United, not only gave Manchester United a long stoppage time, but also made many penalties in favor of Manchester United, including Walcott's beautiful anti-offside single knife, but was blown offside.

This time Ye Qiu stood firmly beside Wenger, and when asked by reporters what he thought about this matter, he smiled and said, "A draw should be the fairest result" The subtext is that Manchester United got three points, which is not fair at all.

After hearing this, Ferguson was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and fired directly, thinking that Wenger was unwilling to lose the game, otherwise, with Manchester United occupying such a big advantage in the whole game, especially on the offensive end, almost pressing Arsenal to play, winning is a matter of course.

"I know that Arsenal are fifth at the moment and there is no chance of qualifying for the Champions League, so I can understand Wenger's pain at this moment" Ferguson did not forget to fall into the ground.

Arsenal's performance this season is indeed uncompetitive, and it is now ten points behind Chelsea, who is fourth in the league, and it is impossible to qualify for the Champions League.

Strictly speaking, this season's relegation battle is also quite miserable, with one round to go, the five relegation teams are not out of danger, Newcastle, Middlesbrough, West Bromwich Albion, Hull City and Sunderland, these five teams will decide the winner in the last round, to see who will be relegated in the end.

Ye Qiu also publicly expressed his support for Phil Brown's relegation success in an interview with the media after the game, and he believed that Phil Brown had the ability to ensure that Hull City stayed in the Premier League at the last moment.

"I'm sure Phil Brown's team will be full of strength at the thought of four at Old Trafford," Ye Qiu feared that the world would not be chaotic and launched an offensive against Manchester United.

In the first leg of the matchup between Hull City and Manchester United, Manchester United quickly brushed up the first half L lead at home, and scored quickly in the second half, establishing a 4L advantage, but immediately after, Hull City quickly pressed Manchester United to a fat beating, almost beating the Red Devils to the ground, and successfully chased the score to 4 but finally almost turned the situation around.

Although Manchester United held on to a victory in the end, Ferguson's team was forced to be very embarrassed by Hull City, and Ye Qiu is now using this battle to motivate Hull City, in fact, he also has the intention of indirectly suppressing Manchester United.

However, the old guy Ferguson was not to be outdone, and directly touted Benitez, almost praising Benitez so much that even the Spanish fat man felt embarrassed, and said that Benitez was Ye Qiu's bitter master, and Liverpool was born with Tottenham Hotspur, he believes that Benitez's team will definitely be able to show the temperament of a top team, and he will definitely go all out in the last round.

This is also what Ferguson is most worried about, because Liverpool is Manchester United's sworn enemy, and the Reds are now desperate, the third place in the league is very secure, there is no need to win the title, and there is no danger of falling out of the rankings

So Ferguson did everything possible to stimulate Liverpool, stimulate Benitez, and even if he could, I believe he would tell Benitez directly, buddy, you can drop Tottenham Hotspur, the price is whatever you want

It is in this tense and exciting atmosphere that the last round of the Premier League finally kicked off slowly
