Chapter 810: The Battle of the Gods

Great victory!

Tottenham Hotspur led Manchester City 3-0 in the first half, and then took a near-perfect victory from Manchester 4-0 in the second half thanks to Hazzard's goal. In his column, Wilson used such a rare headline.

As Europe's most famous and influential tactical columnist, Jonathan? Wilson has always been a mentor in the eyes of many football tactics enthusiasts, he is one of the first football media people to conduct in-depth analysis of tactics, and he has done a very good job, and a [inverted pyramid] has earned him a lifetime status.

Jonathan? This is how Wilson began his column.

"Different styles of tactics are one of the most fascinating things about football, but in today's football, all the top teams are keen to do two things, possession and pressing, and they are looking at the modern version of the all-in attack on different paths, either in the pursuit of improving their team's goal scoring efficiency or in the study of how to thwart the opposition's attacking depth defence."

Ye Qiu has always been regarded as a master of active football, and he is also a loyal fan of high-intensity midfield pressing and effective ball possession, while Mourinho is an expert in passive football.

"I still remember a time before, Mourinho said that if he had such a strong star squad at Tottenham Hotspur, he could play better and more attacking football than Tottenham Hotspur, what many people don't know is that Ye Qiu once responded like this, he doesn't need to have stars to play Mourinho's tactics, even better than Mourinho."

"A lot of people don't believe them and think they're more of a psychological war, because offense isn't as simple as people think, and defense isn't as easy as people think."

"However, on this night in Manchester, Ye Qiu defeated Manchester City 4:0 with his set of Tottenham Hotspur Hotspur II lineup and a completely different style of football from his past, and I believe that everyone who watched that game will completely subvert their impression of Ye Qiu."

"I can boldly say here that it will be one of the most classic games in the Premier League this season, and one of the most tactical games of the season, and all tactics lovers who missed this game should revisit it, and it will completely overturn a lot of misconceptions about football tactics."

"Strictly speaking, Tottenham Hotspur didn't have any extra playmaking and possession in this game, they were ten percentage points behind Manchester City, but they created more dangerous attacking chances than Manchester City, and at the same time scored more goals, and they focused almost all of their energy on two things, attacking and defending!"

"I don't know how Ye Qiu arranged it before this game, but from the beginning of the game, we can clearly see that Ye Qiu did not integrate the team well, Tottenham Hotspur did not play well at the beginning, and seemed very cautious, but as Ye Qiu adjusted again and again, they gradually entered a very strange game track."

"It's hard to tell what kind of formation Tottenham Hotspur will adopt in this game, and you can't tell who is attacking and who is defending in this game, because their defenders are very actively involved in the attack, especially in the second half, Nemanja Matic has two long-range shots from the edge of the Manchester City penalty area."

'It's also hard to tell who they're defending, because even Hazard is often on the edge of the box, even chasing back to the bottom line, making a very important defensive tackle, and we can see very clearly that Tottenham seem to be very passive because they don't have the ball, they don't have the initiative.

"But it doesn't give you a very clear feeling like the number jù, on the contrary, if you watch this game, you only have a feeling that the two teams are evenly matched, Tottenham Hotspur are not inferior, on the contrary, they are very dangerous in attack."

"It's an illusion, an illusion created by the game being too fast-paced and the ball changing hands too often."

"The reason for this illusion is that Manchester City's attack is basically interrupted as soon as it enters the 30-meter zone of Tottenham Hotspur, or even as long as it enters the Tottenham Hotspur half, and the fatal point of the problem is that as long as Manchester City's attack is interrupted, Tottenham Hotspur's counter-attack can quickly threaten."

"I was thinking about one thing last night, why is there such a huge contrast?"

'I think back to every word that the two managers said in the press conference after the game, and I was trying to get a clue from what they said, and I noticed that Manuel Pellegrini said that the team did a terrible job of counter-attacking and then I was thinking, did City fight back?'

"The answer is yes, and all of City's counter-attacks are basically full of problems, always thinking of playing pass penetration, or going straight to the two centre-forwards, because the only player in front of them who can play with speed, the Spanish player on the right side, Keylor Navas, was completely frozen by Azpilicueta, his fellow Spaniard!"

"This is a very bold and wise decision by Ye Qiu in this game, let right-back Cesar Azpilicueta play on the left, completely block Navas, and make Manchester City's counterattack lose speed."

"We noticed that Tottenham Hotspur's midfield was a jungle of steel, Kompany, Nastasic, Nemanja Matic, Stroman, Phil? Jones, Kyle? Walker, Cesar Azpilicueta, these players are not afraid of physical confrontation, and they are both very tactical execution, and they are not inferior to Dzeko and Negredo. ”

"So Manchester City has a very passive situation, frontal impact can not break through Tottenham Hotspur's defense, once the ball is broken, Tottenham Hotspur quickly counterattacked, as fast as possible to send the ball to Manchester City's backfield, forcing Manchester City to retreat to their own half, and Tottenham Hotspur is not entangled in taking the ball and possession, their attack is about speed and efficiency."

"Once the threat is created, the goal is achieved, even if there is no threat, after Manchester City breaks the ball, the counterattack cannot be played, they will find that all the contact points in the front field are frozen, so Manchester City has to pass back, leave the ball in their own half, control the ball and look for opportunities, but at this time Tottenham Hotspur will increase the pressing efforts, once the ball is broken, they will play a threat counterattack again."

"The whole game was played in the Manchester City half for a long time, so on the surface, Manchester City have the advantage of possession, but in reality they don't have that advantage on the field, they look a little passive!"

"I believe that all those who have watched this game will not doubt what Ye Qiu said, he doesn't need any stars to be able to play Mourinho's football, because from this game, we can see very clearly that Ye Qiu's attainments in defense, his understanding of tactics, and his on-the-spot improvisation are quite good."

"Even I think he is not inferior in these aspects, even surpassing Alex Ferguson, who has retired!"

"What's more, we don't watch this kind of game as dull as when we watched Mourinho's Chelsea, nor did we have the kind of procrastination and depression when we watched Serie A, we will have a very exciting and nervous feeling, because although it is defense, the concept in our bones is still the familiar imprint of Ye Qiu."

"For example, we can see that Tottenham Hotspur's players are very purposeful in their positioning, whether they are attacking or defending, anyone who takes the ball, there are always teammates around them who immediately run into the gap to create space for the ball and meet their teammates, and when defending, they are very good at using their running positions to cut the opponent's ball path, and at that time, they will flash their personal foot skills, such as Nemanja Matic and Phil? Jones, Hazzard, Lewandowski and Eriksen combined with the likes of a succession of passes. ”

"We have to admit that even if he is playing defensive counterattacks, Ye Qiu can play something different from others, and he can play more likable than Mourinho, which is determined by his football philosophy!"

"The four-goal away win over Manchester City is a key battle to lay the foundation for Tottenham Hotspur to win the championship, and it is also a tactical open class for Ye Qiu, a battle for the gods of tacticians!"

"After the game, Pellegrini said very helplessly that on the road to winning the championship, Tottenham Hotspur sprinted to the front, and everyone was optimistic about them, while Manchester City could only follow closely behind Tottenham Hotspur, taking one step at a time."

"Manuel Pellegrini is right, with today's Ye Qiu, today's Tottenham Hotspur, no one can shake the status and achievements of this team!"

"But we also have to regret it, because just this summer, we sent away Ferguson, the master tactician, and next summer, we will send away Ye Qiu, and by that time, will the world of football still be as exciting as it has been in the past few years, and it is today?"

"I believe it will, but there will be no more Ye Qiu at that time!"

…………

…………

Jonathan? Wilson's column attracted a lot of attention and controversy, with some arguing that Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur were too touted because that game looked like a victory for conservative tactics.

But there are also a lot of fans who fight back, thinking that those who say that the game is conservative have never watched the game at all, because the whole game is not dull at all, it is very intense, very tense, very exciting, and at the same time the pace is also very fast.

The two sides fight each other on the Internet, in newspapers, on TV, and in magazines, each with their own opinions, but there is one thing that everyone agrees on, that is, this game, the biggest difference between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City is that Tottenham Hotspur has a Ye Qiu, and it is Ye Qiu who decides and dominates this game.

So much so that many Tottenham Hotspur fans came to Theobold's goal every day after the game to shout slogans, hoping that Ye Qiu could continue to stay in the team, continue to coach Tottenham Hotspur, and continue to lead the team forward.

The fans of Tottenham Hotspur did not know that when they were shouting slogans, in the distance of the Theobold gate, Ye Qiu was sitting on the gazebo in the central lake of the training base, he heard the call of the fans, but he was not in a very good mood.

"If you regret it, I really don't mind!"

Beside Ye Qiu, Mauro? Tasotti smiled indifferently, he is indeed eager to coach, eager to build a team that belongs to him and conforms to his own philosophy, because the current Tottenham Hotspur team is Ye Qiu's team.

Or should it be said that the two have been running in for eight years, and most of the concepts are similar, but in some details, they have zài differences, for example, Ye Qiu likes a superstar like Messi, who has super personal ability, but Mauro? Tassotti has always insisted that players should obey tactics and make the most of their abilities within the tactical framework.

In Tottenham Hotspur's existing tactical framework, Ribery and Messi, who are over 30 years old, are obviously a bit out of bounds.

Of course, they are still very hard-working, very diligent, and very active in executing the team's tactics, and the performance is also quite good.

Ye Qiu thinks that it is not a big deal to accommodate the superstars appropriately and let them play better.

The two don't have much of a difference, Mauro? Hasn't Tasotti also done well with Ye Qiu over the years?

Mauro? Tasotti admires Ye Qiu from the bottom of his heart, especially in the past few years when he came to Tottenham Hotspur, he really opened his eyes, he was also clearly aware of the weakness and shortcomings of Italian football, and at the same time, he was also really aware that he had spied on the forefront of the tactical trend.

He believes that Capello must have felt this way when he gave Sacchi as an assistant coach.

Therefore, if Ye Qiu is willing to stay and continue to coach, he will have a little regret, but he must be happy to hear the news.

Of course, if Ye Qiu continues to coach, he will seriously consider other teams to coach alone, because he now has a desperate desire to show his ambitions, especially in the past two years.

Ye Qiu listened to Mauro? After Tasotti's words, he shook his head and smiled, "You know it's impossible!" ”

After a pause, he continued: "What I have decided, no one can change!" ”

Roland on the side? Shepas laughed, "I went to his house before, and Achu is already planning a trip around the world in the second half of next year, if he says he won't retire at this time, I can guarantee that he will be in pain!" ”

Ye Qiu also smiled helplessly after hearing this, Huang Chu and Roland are also very good friends, I still remember that when I was in Amsterdam, this dead fat man often came to Ye Qiu's house to eat, oh, and that Ibrahimovic, the damn Swede, lived in Ye Qiu's house for more than half a year, and he still misses Mrs. Ye's cooking skills.

If you want to say that Ye Qiu is in pain, there are really many ways, and it is very simple, as long as you use salt as MSG in your daily meals, you have the heart to keep Ye Qiu dead!

"Mauro!" Ye Qiu looked at Mauro with a stern expression? Tasotti, "I said I want to quit, I will quit, you know my personality very well, I will not regret it, and I will not interfere in anything with the team at that time, unless you feel that it is necessary, because I absolutely absolutely believe in you, you will not do worse than me!" ”

So encouraged by Ye Qiu, Mauro? Tassotti just smiled, he was well aware of the burden on his shoulders.

The more Tottenham Hotspur fans want to keep Ye Qiu now, the more they will miss Ye Qiu in the future. The more skepticism Tasotti will become, and the quicker he will have to get results.

Mauro? Tasotti admired Ye Qiu's determination and courage, because Ye Qiu promised him that he would decide the team's affairs at that time, and even if Mauro? If Tasotti felt that it was necessary, Ye Qiu would not even rule out selling the superstars in the team for Mauro? Tasotti took over the dressing room to clear the way.

From this point of view, Ye Qiu's relationship with Mauro? Tasotti's support is really unsparing, and even the four signings of the team this season are basically Mauro? Tasotti participated in and made decisions, and Ye Qiu was only really responsible for signing.

"It's okay, according to me, the guys in the locker room are still quite convinced by you, and when the time comes to take over the locker room, it won't be a big problem, but Ye Qiu is right, I'm afraid that some people's hearts will be scattered and their attitude will be relaxed!"

This is also the most likely situation for any team to change managers after a period of peak, such as Liverpool.

Therefore, at this time, the management and coaching staff must work together to show strong courage and control, and even do not hesitate to clean up some uneasy factors in the team, show a tough side, bring deterrence to the players, and control the overall situation.

At this point, Ye Qiu also talked to Peter? Kenyon and Ron? Gulliton guò gas.

Choosing Mauro? Tasotti is a long-term plan, not a temporary decision.

"I understand!" Mauro? Tasotti nodded in agreement.

Roland smiled and pointed in the direction of the gate, "How can the fans handle it?" ”

"Of course, I want you Luo Fat to come forward, how can you say that it's your business, in short, you can help me get them!" After finishing speaking, Ye Qiu patted the fat man's fleshy shoulder and walked out of the pavilion, looking like he was going to take a nap.

"I'm sure you can do it, fatty!" Mauro? Tasotti also patted the fat flesh of the fat man with encouragement, and it felt good, which made him laugh and walked out of the gazebo.

Luo Fatzi was alone in the gazebo, watching these two inhuman guys leave irresponsibly, and he was not angry in his heart.

"Ha, I've never seen two so irresponsible, and it's a shame that you're justified!"

But what could he do?

He could only shake his chubby body, walked out of the gazebo, walked to the gate, and thought along the way, feeling that things in this world are really unfair, why are they also Tottenham Hotspur people, those two guys have such a good image, but they are always arranged to do these thankless jobs?

"Is it because I'm handsome?" Luo Fatzi lowered his head and looked at his big belly, the level of pregnancy. At this point, Ye Qiu also talked to Peter? Kenyon and Ron? Gulliton guò gas.

Choosing Mauro? Tasotti is a long-term plan, not a temporary decision.

"I understand!" Mauro? Tasotti nodded in agreement.

Roland smiled and pointed in the direction of the gate, "How can the fans handle it?" ”

"Of course, I want you Luo Fat to come forward, how can you say that it's your business, in short, you can help me get them!" After finishing speaking, Ye Qiu patted the fat man's fleshy shoulder and walked out of the pavilion, looking like he was going to take a nap.

"I'm sure you can do it, fatty!" Mauro? Tasotti also patted the fat flesh of the fat man with encouragement, and it felt good, which made him laugh and walked out of the gazebo.

Luo Fatzi was alone in the gazebo, watching these two inhuman guys leave irresponsibly, and he was not angry in his heart.

"Ha, I've never seen two so irresponsible, and it's a shame that you're justified!"

But what could he do?

He could only shake his chubby body, walked out of the gazebo, walked to the gate, and thought along the way, feeling that things in this world are really unfair, why are they also Tottenham Hotspur people, those two guys have such a good image, but they are always arranged to do these thankless jobs?

"Is it because I'm handsome?" Luo Fatzi lowered his head and looked at his big belly, the level of pregnancy.
