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

The so-called tactical game here is actually not about the outdated 442 formation, or the rise of 4231 tactics, or the current popularity of in-cut wingers in the entire Premier League, these are not tactical games, they can only be said to be confrontations in the overall situation, and the so-called tactical games depend on a lot of details on the field.

In this game, Tottenham Hotspur did not play Messi, and the Argentines rested, but Ye Qiu arranged three midfielders, Ramsey, Matic and Vidal, and the front court was a combination of Ribery, Lewandowski and Hazzard.

Many people thought that Ye Qiu was in a disadvantageous situation in the first half of the team and was one goal behind, so it was very likely that he would make a lot of changes at halftime, especially looking at his exaggerated movements and expressions when he commanded the game in the first half, which made everyone feel his dissatisfaction with the current situation of the team.

Since it is so dissatisfied, it should be a major adjustment, and maybe even replace three more players in one go.

Interestingly, Ye Qiuzhen didn't do this, and when the players of the two teams walked out of the tunnel again, everyone was surprised to find that Tottenham Hotspur had almost no major changes and adjustments, and it was still the same as in the first half.

Manchester City, on the other hand, did not change much, and they still adopted the tactics of the first half, defending high and pushing the defensive line forward, cutting off Tottenham Hotspur's passing and receiving and running routes, and then trying to control the ball at their feet, so as to avoid staying at the back.

In the first half, Manchester City's initiative actually relied on this set of tactics to play an effect, so many people felt that Pellegrini still had to continue to use the advantages of the first half, and considering that the last minutes of the first half were a bit passive, the Chilean engineer may ask the team to play more safely, such as fighting for more possession.

At first glance, there are no substitutions on both sides, no changes, it seems that there is not much change, and even if you just look at the appearance, no one can see a reason, even if Ferguson is sitting in the stands, it is difficult for him to see the changes between the two sides.

But when the game really starts, more and more people will smell the changes in Tottenham as time goes on.

In the fifteen minutes of the halftime break, Ye Qiu made a total of three adjustments to the team.

Hazzard and Ribery on the side were asked by Ye Qiu to retreat, retreat to what Cheng dù, retreat to the place where Matic could pass the ball after the delay, but it was not that the two wingers were asked to retreat too deeply, but Matic pressed forward appropriately, so one retreated, the other moved forward, and the two were connected in tandem.

But this is only the first adjustment, the second adjustment is Ramsey, the Welshman's position was pushed forward by Ye Qiu, he occupies the middle of the front, close to the position of the front midfield, just in front of De Rossi, when defending, it is just against De Rossi, limiting the connection between the opponent's two backs.

In attack, Nemanja Matic is more likely to play the ball wide and find two wingers who retreat.

The winger takes the ball, the opponent's fullback can't press it, if the opponent's fullback goes up, Ramsey quickly inserts the gap left by the fullback insertion, Lewandowski also tries to pull to this side to respond, and then in the shortest possible time, break through the opponent's side, and then pass another winger and Lewandowski to create a threat in the penalty area, and even Vidal's back insertion, forming a second wave of attack.

The final adjustment is that the ball is transferred to Nemanja Matic as much as possible, with Vidal acting as a receiving point and defending next to Matic, with the centre-backs only responsible for playmaking and long passes diagonally, and the full-backs being more wingers who respond to retreats.

This is also what Ye Qiu found after observing the situation in the first half, this game Manchester City team emphasizes ball control, because they do not plan to adopt a defensive strategy, they have played defense several times before, and they have not held it in the end, so this time Pellegrini bravely pressed out, but their back line is not strong, after pressing out, the risk is relatively large, so they need to control the ball.

This season, Manchester City's main offensive routine is still the wing, but Manchester City's wingers Nasri, Van der Vaart and the occasional guest winger Modric all belong to the type of side ball organization or inward pass, only Navas is a winger who breaks through on the side, but in this game Navas did not play, but on Nasri and Van der Vaart.

The front is the combination of Negredo and Aguero, but the interesting thing is that Negredo is retreating, and Aguero is at the front, which is very interesting, because in this set of tactics, Negredo's role is actually the fulcrum of the frontcourt. Toure forms the fulcrum of the two towers in the midfield.

In Manchester City's entire offensive tactical system, the role of the wing is very large, and in this game, Pellegrini's two wingers on the side to take the ball are to further strengthen the team's ability to organize the ball, but this has also caused another phenomenon, that is, Manchester City's side and width can only be achieved through guò fullbacks to participate in the attack.

Therefore, after Pellegrini took over Manchester City, he inserted stronger attacking ability and better crosses, but the relatively weak defensive left-back Kolarov showed that he was quite good and became the main force of the team, pressing Klich down.

But the problem is also obvious, that is, attacking full-backs will always inevitably have zài defensive problems.

Therefore, Ye Qiu arranged for the winger to retreat to get the ball, and then asked Ramsey to press up and insert the side diagonally, in fact, it was to target this weakness of Manchester City, but these are only in the front court, and they all need the midfield and backfield to pass the ball to the front court to be able to play a threat, so Ye Qiu has a follow-up arrangement.

Many fans who have never played before, or 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 the right foot has to defend a left-footed player face-to-face, which will be a very, very awkward situation for the right-footed player, because he will find it difficult to form effective pressure and restriction on the opponent, and even the right foot will be very uncomfortable on this side.

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

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

After the break, at first glance, Tottenham Hotspur did not seem to have changed much, but in reality, the changes were very large and they quickly showed their threat at the start of the second half.

…………

…………

Nemanja Matic in his own half with Thiago behind him? Silva and Raphael Varane, with Vidal not far in front of him on the right.

Although Vidal is not close to him, Matic is not worried at all, because he knows the Chilean teammate very well, he knows Vidal's athleticism, as long as the opponent attacks, Vidal can go up and steal as soon as possible, if he doesn't make it, he can also retreat to his side as soon as possible, and act as his own fighter.

And Ramsey in front, who is also a very athletic player, with such a team-mate by his side, Matic is not under much pressure defensively, on the contrary, as he becomes more familiar with Tottenham Hotspur's team-mates and the team's whole tactical system, and starts to integrate into it, he finds himself more and more comfortable with it.

"Get the ball in midfield, first priority pass to Nemanja Matic!"

Head coach Ye Qiu's arrangement at halftime made Matic a little stunned, although not surprised.

Ye Qiu had told him more than once that he should be more proactive in asking for and taking the ball, but Matic rarely did so, and the rest of his teammates seemed to see him more as a trustworthy defender for the team.

They all believed in him, but in their eyes, Nemanja Matic and Andrea Pirlo were two very different players.

When Pirlo comes on the pitch, they will always unconsciously believe in passing the ball to Pirlo, and once they lose possession, they will also consciously help Pirlo defend, because they know 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 assists, then Matic should be the opposite, he doesn't need to worry about his defense, but the ball is at his feet, more of a transition.

In this case, the ball for Nemanja Matic is all about getting in and out, reducing the risk.

This is also the way Nemanja Matic has been playing for more than a year since Southampton, and even if he used to look like a fairly good central midfielder, at least that's how his team-mates have remembered him.

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

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

He wasn't surprised because he's not Pirlo, he's Nemanja Matic, and almost everyone in the world feels that he was able to join Tottenham Hotspur because of his defence and coverage, as well as his ability to handle the ball quickly.

Will he be able to make good passes?

I believe that at this moment, Tottenham Hotspur, who are waiting for the resumption of the game, are suspicious.

Just before the start of the game, Vidal was seen walking back a bit.

The guy with the cockscomb grinned and showed a mouth full of white teeth, his skin was not dark, but his teeth were white.

"I'd better stay close to you, safe!" Vidal said with a smile.

Matic didn't laugh out loud, just nodded slightly.

At this time, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, but when the whistle blew, Matic looked over again, only to find that the cockscomb that had just run back and said that he wanted to be closer to him had rushed up in a blink of an eye, ready to grab the ball.

"Is this called being closer to me?" Nemanja shook his head with a wry smile, but he quickly moved to the right.

Sure enough, Yaya? Toure drove forward with the ball and was tangled up by Vidal to pass the ball to Van der Vaart, who cut inside, but Matic cut the ball away early to the retreating Hazzard.

But City quickly organized a counter-attack, Hazard immediately knocked back, and Matic passed back to Kell? Walker, who returned to the box for Raphael Varane, the French centre-back, who had the style of a big man, stopped the ball and raised his hand to signal his team to steady.

Manchester City's first wave of on-the-spot counter-attacks was also suspended, because they also had to worry that if this time the on-the-spot counter-attack was too fierce, they lost their position, and the flaws behind them were exposed, and they were counter-attacked by Tottenham Hotspur, then they would lose more than they gained.

Raphael Varane took the ball forward and got out of the box, and he saw Negredo pressing up, so he distributed the ball to the right and gave it to Kell? Walker, and at this time, Tottenham Hotspur has begun to press the overall formation in an orderly manner, Kyle? Walker drove forward with the ball and came to the area near the halfway line, almost level with midfielder Nemanja Matic.

Kyle? Walker was pressed and passed down the right to the retreating Hazzard.

The Belgian got the ball with his back to the right touchline and saw Kolarov pressing up, Yaya? Toure also looked like he wanted to wrap Hazard with Kolarov, but just then, Vidal ran over and raised his hand for the ball.

Hazzard passed the ball directly to Vidal, and Yaya? Toure immediately turned a corner and pressed on Vidal, where the Chilean quickly passed the ball back to Varane, who crossed to Thiago? Silva, the Brazilian centre-back passes to Nemanja Matic in front of him.

The whole passing transition was a touch of the ball, and the ball soon came to the feet of Nemanja Matic on the left side of the center circle, and De Rossi pressed up quickly, but saw Matic pull the ball to his left, block De Rossi with his body, and then rub a long diagonal pass against the ball with his left foot.

The ball arced down the left side of the centre circle and landed on the right side of the City penalty area, while Ramsey quickly cut in diagonally from the middle to the right, leaving Kolarov behind who realised something was wrong.

In the face of Nemanja Matic's diagonal pass, Ramsey stopped the ball on his chest, and as soon as he landed, Demichelis came up, but Ramsey did not stick to the ball, but passed the ball to the bottom line between the big and small penalty areas.

At this time, Lewandowski rushed to the bottom line behind Vertonghen, grabbed before the ball went out of the line, stopped, pulled, and blocked Demichelis with his body, and after turning around with a pull ball, he wanted to hit the goal himself, but at this time Zabaleta appeared behind Demichelis, and Lewandowski had to stop his action.

Lewandowski's action was closed, so that Zabaleta, who made the blocking action, appeared empty, and Lewandowski did not hesitate at all, pushed the ball to the right side, and saw Ribery rushing to the outside of the small penalty area, facing the ball and pushing it directly, and the ball drilled into the goal of the Manchester City team in response, 1:1!

For a while, the entire Wembley Stadium resounded with an overwhelming cheer.

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 overwhelmed Manchester City, making everyone feel the power and momentum of Tottenham Hotspur fans.

"Less than three minutes into the second half, Tottenham Hotspur managed to equalize, 1:1!"

With the replay of the live TV footage, the live TV commentator also praised, "Matic's long diagonal pass landed very well, the arc is also very good, the receiver is very comfortable, and he can face Vertonghen directly after stopping the ball to make a move, and Ramsey is obviously prepared, this should be Tottenham Hotspur's attacking routine!" ”

"This time Kolarov's position is a little forward, he was not able to retreat to the back line in time to defend Tottenham Hotspur's attack on the right, and Ramsey sprinted to the right, which further magnified his mistakes, if he can return to the penalty area to defend at this time, Manchester City's defense will not be so easily breached!"

The live TV footage was also given to the sidelines, and after Ye Qiu saw Ribery receiving Lewandowski's goal, the whole person raised his arms excitedly, looking like he was in a winning posture, which also aggravated everyone's thoughts, that is, this change in the second half came from Ye Qiu's midfield adjustment.

"It's really a magician, Ye Qiu's midfield adjustment, the second half achieved immediate results at the beginning, and now the two sides are back on the same running line, it depends on how Pellegrini takes the move next!"

But the commentator's words have just been said less than two minutes, and it was a pass from the midfield of Tottenham Hotspur, Matic scored with a long pass from the back on the left, and the ball landed on the right side of the arc of the Manchester City penalty area, Lewandowski quickly grabbed the first drop point this time, blocked Vertonghen with his body, and stopped the ball to the penalty area with his chest.

Joe? Hart reacted immediately, abandoning the goal, trying to save Lewandowski's ball, but he was still a step slower after all, and Lewandowski rushed up as fast as he could, grabbing Joe? Hart stabbed before, then chased the ball, pushed with his right foot, and the ball drilled into the Manchester City goal again, 2:1!

Reversion!!!!!!

Lewandowski was so excited that he rushed out of the stadium, kept clenching his fists and yelling along the way, and kept cheering at the fans in the stands, 2:1, and he also helped the team score a goal that was almost enough to bring Tottenham Hotspur a League Cup title!

All the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stands at Wembley Stadium also shouted, although it has only been half a year, but they have been completely conquered by the Polish striker, Lewandowski has proved that he has the ability to replace Cavani in the Tottenham Hotspur attack, he has the quality and potential to become a top striker.

"Perhaps, it is difficult for us to judge whether Cavani is excellent or Lewandowski is stronger, but we can clearly know that Lewandowski, who is worth 20 million euros, has successfully replaced Cavani, who is worth more than 100 million euros!"

"For Tottenham Hotspur, this transfer is great value!" What's next for Pellegrini! ”

But the commentator's words have just been said less than two minutes, and it was a pass from the midfield of Tottenham Hotspur, Matic scored with a long pass from the back on the left, and the ball landed on the right side of the arc of the Manchester City penalty area, Lewandowski quickly grabbed the first drop point this time, blocked Vertonghen with his body, and stopped the ball to the penalty area with his chest.
