It was a game that took place in late autumn at noon.

When Webb blew the whistle for the end of the game, the time was exactly more than 15 o'clock in the afternoon, and it happened that the weather in London had been good these days, a little hot, coupled with the non-stop cheers of more than 30,000 fans at White Hart Lane Stadium for the past two hours, so that the temperature in White Hart Lane Stadium can only be described as scorching hot.

I don't know what it is, but the moment Wenger heard Webb's whistle, he had a chill from the bottom of his heart.

When did the gap between his team and Tottenham Hotspur widen to such an extent?

From the first half of the evenly matched, even Arsenal still had the upper hand of the I, to the second half of the peak turn, conceded four goals in a row, which made Wenger himself confused, because he really found that unconsciously, Tottenham Hotspur's strength has surpassed Arsenal, especially the attack.

With the departure of Vieira, Pire, Henry, Ljungberg and other older generation stars, and with the fall of grace of Gilberto Silva, Arsenal has gradually embarked on a younger transformation.

But against Tottenham Hotspur, Wenger really found that he seemed to be a little powerless.

Pete Rice, who was standing next to Wenger, took in the professor's expression, and he didn't think that the comparison between Arsenal's strength and Tottenham Hotspur's strength was a reasonable score if it was really based on strength, but the key problem was that Arsenal fought too hard in the first half.

As Wenger's right-hand man, Peter Rice is well aware of Wenger's shortcomings, the professor's tactical literacy is definitely no worse than anyone else's, he has outstanding tactical knowledge, and he is very good at building the team's passing and receiving system and attacking routines, so once Arsenal plays well, it is often a devastating attack.

Of course, there is a premise for this, and that is to build on the situation of Arsenal going well.

The problem is that unless you come up against a team that is far inferior to you, or who have made a major mistake in tactics, any opponent will tailor their tactics to your tactics, and even change them even when it comes to the game.

Wenger belongs to the academy school and attaches great importance to the integrity of the team's tactical system, so even if he makes substitutions in the game, he seems to be cautious, for fear of affecting the team's tactical system, so his substitutions are rarely changed, and they are generally for positions that are not in good shape and not performing well enough.

To put it in technical terms, Arsene Wenger is hoping to use a local substitution to drive global change.

But there is another kind of manager, their substitutions are more from the structural aspect, such as Ferguson, he is a genius in this area, he is a soft underbelly in the construction of the tactical system, but he has a very keen sense of tactics, so after the treble that year, he directly introduced Veron to carry out continental reform.

When Ye Qiu came to the Premier League, brought the reform of the four-line spectrum, and summed up the famous remark that by running without the ball, he created one more person than the opponent in the midfield, Ferguson was the first to follow Ye Qiu to reform, and completely broke and rebuilt Manchester United's formation, but he did not completely follow Ye Qiu's direction, but groped forward by himself and created his own tactics.

Over the years, you can say that Ferguson has taken a lot of wrong paths, but you have to admit that Manchester United has indeed found its own football path and created a tactic that best suits the temperament and spirit of Manchester United.

Relatively speaking, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has a similar sense of tactics, but he is too risky and speculative, so his substitutions are not necessarily as sophisticated as Ferguson's, and sometimes even counterproductive.

If Wenger is an academic school with a bit of idealism and emphasizing the tactical system, then Ferguson and Mourinho are relatively realistic, unlike Wenger, they coach the team more for practical purposes, and even the tactical system is not important to them, as long as they can win, they don't care what tactics they use.

Or arguably Arsene Wenger is sticking to me, while Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho are a bit of a bit of a adapter.

But there is also another kind of head coach, they are very special, just mixed between the academic school and the realist school, they attach great importance to the construction and maintenance of the tactical system, they also have their own tactical philosophy, and adhere to their own tactical ideas, but they will make appropriate changes and adjustments according to the opponent, and they also have a very good sense of tactics.

Ye Qiu and Benitez belong to the centrists.

Looking at Ye Qiu and Benitez can be said to be the two managers in the Premier League who emphasize synergy the most, Benitez's Liverpool and Ye Qiu's Chelsea were regarded as the most holistic teams in the Premier League, and now Mourinho has inherited this characteristic of Ye Qiu, and Ye Qiu has rebuilt a new whole at Tottenham Hotspur.

But the two are a little different, Benitez emphasizes meticulousness, his tactics are known for their very, very demanding requirements, and even many people feel that his requirements for players are almost robotic, allowing players to mechanically execute his tactical requirements on the field, and he is also meticulous in the layout of each game to the point of cumbersomeness.

But Ye Qiu is the opposite, when he was at Chelsea, he also had high requirements for tactical details, but after coming to Tottenham Hotspur, he began to create a more open tactical platform, he placed great emphasis on purpose and creativity, and he advocated that when the team unified goals and ideas, all players can adopt an open mind to guide the game.

But whether it is Ye Qiu or Benitez, they stick to their core concepts, and at the same time have a strong sense of tactics, even at the cost of it.

Ye Qiu's starting tactics in this game were very passive, he was indeed suppressed by Wenger, but he soon grasped the biggest weakness of Wenger's tactics, that is, the consumption of physical energy will be very large, especially considering that Arsenal is not a player with excellent physical fitness, and it will be very passive in the second half when such tactics are used.

If it is a normal manager, he should take the approach of blocking, that is, to contain Arsenal, but Ye Qiu is the opposite, let you control the ball, let you attack, I have only one purpose, that is, to drag you down, further consume your physical energy, and even it doesn't matter how many goals you concede in the first half, the most important thing is to drag you down.

This is a very risky approach, because maybe Tottenham Hotspur will not be able to hold it at all in the first half, but Cech has done well to save Tottenham Hotspur at least twice in the first half, so Ye Qiu won the bet

In the second half, Arsenal's physical strength had been almost consumed, and Ye Qiu made two substitutions in the 55th minute, which made Wenger hesitate, but these two substitutions were premeditated and did not have much risk, because at that time, Arsenal's physical strength had been almost consumed, and the substitution was to attack.

For Ye Qiu at that time, as long as the offense can work, the pressure on the back line is negligible.

Relatively speaking, Wenger's substitution is a bit cautious, even conservative, replacing Alexander Song is to strengthen the defense, but the Cameroon international did not show his level in the face of Tottenham Hotspur's attack, and the replacement of Bendtner also did not put pressure on Tottenham Hotspur in attack

But at the same time, it must be noted that Arsenal's bench depth is indeed too weak, which has become the biggest bottleneck for Wenger's team, because there is not enough bench thickness, you can perform well when the main squad is complete, but once it comes to the winter break, then you will encounter the biggest test.

Benitez is a bit the opposite in Liverpool, the Spaniards always like to play rotation from the beginning, the lineup changes day by day, and the players are also changing and unpredictable, but this team always makes efforts in the second half, because of the effect of rotation, but it is also easy to cause Liverpool's inconsistent results in the first half and lose too many points.

Ye Qiu attaches great importance to the rationality of the team's construction, if you carefully analyze the Tottenham Hotspur lineup, it is not difficult to find that the bench thickness of this team is actually very strong, although it is not as star-studded as Chelsea's bench, but the strength is not bad.

There are two rookies in the front, Edinson Cavani, or Ruudin van Nistelrooy, who is seen as Shearer II or Ruud van Nistelrooy II, who has good skills, a lot of motivation in the game, a lot of running range, and a good shooting ability.

Gareth Bale, Arshavin, Ashley Young and Marcelo can play on the flanks, with Gareth Bale and Marcelo both playing on the left, whether they are wingers or attacking full-backs.

With Yaya Toure and Lucas in midfield, Luka Modric, who changed the game this season, and Cardiff's youngster Ramsey, Tottenham Hotspur's midfield bench is very thick.

The same can be said for midfield, with Vincent Kompany and Mike Dawson on the bench, and Arbeloa's ability to play on both flanks and defensive players allows Tottenham to adjust their defence whenever and wherever they want.

When Pate Rice thought of this, he couldn't help but think of Steve Lawley's high opinion of Ye Qiu.

The Arsenal chief scout believes that looking at today's football, Ye Qiu must be ranked first among the best managers with comprehensive abilities such as digging out young players, building team lineups, and building team tactical systems.

Of course, Pede Rice is also aware of the current situation at Arsenal and the troubles Wenger is experiencing, so he can only feel helpless about many things, and the problem is not entirely with Wenger.

"Let's go, Arsène," Pat Rice said with a sigh as he patted Arsene Wenger on the shoulder.

"L is definitely not a reasonable score that reflects the performance of both sides on the field because we didn't play badly"

In his post-match press conference, Arsene Wenger was visibly frustrated by the defeat but refused to admit that his side were lacking in quality as he felt his side had been better in the first half.

'Tottenham are a very good team, I never deny that, they have the quality to compete with the best teams in the Premier League, but I don't think we have a quality gap with each other, I think there was a certain chance in this game.

"Of course, the game is over, we lost, we should accept the reality" Wenger also said with obvious disappointment that he can accept a loss, even a heavy defeat, "We are a very young team, and losing is also a learning process for us. ”

"From the day a player enters professional football, they have to learn how to deal with setbacks and failures, because there is always only one side winning on the football field, so you have to learn to accept him, face him and overcome him"

As for Tottenham Hotspur, Arsene Wenger said that the team's current ranking is not a reflection of their true strength.

"They have played two games less than all the teams and one less than Liverpool, so it's not that they can't do it at the bottom of the table, on the contrary, I think if they can adjust the team to play on multiple fronts, especially the pressure of the Champions League and the Premier League, they should be able to have better results."

As for his old friend Ye Qiu, Arsene Wenger feels he can lead the team to overcome these problems, "He has a lot of experience in the Champions League, and even he has two Champions Leagues, he is no worse than anyone else in these aspects, I think he can handle it very well. ”

was affirmed by Wenger, and Ye Qiu also reciprocated.

'Yes, the score is not a reasonable reflection of the strength of both sides, I think Arsenal are better and more effective than last season, there is no doubt about that, and sometimes losing is not necessarily a bad thing for a team, on the contrary, losing can ⊥ you see yourself more clearly.

"I often tell my players, for example, that we lost in the first and third rounds at the beginning of the season, but I tell my players that losing is a test that any team must go through, but the most terrible thing about him is not the loss caused by your loss, but that you have to understand what you are losing for, and how you can get out of the shadow of losing in the shortest possible time after losing, and let the team bounce back, which is the test of whether a team is really strong."

And Ye Qiu also said that he believes that Arsenal can come out of the shadows soon.

Although both managers deliberately tried to keep a low profile after the game, the fans of both sides have been bitter enemies for nearly a century, and such a harmonious atmosphere is obviously not what they want to see, so after the game, the victorious Tottenham Hotspur fans began a round of revelry, celebrating the team's big home win over Arsenal.

This victory not only brought Tottenham Hotspur fans into a frenzy, but also made Arsenal fans feel extremely frustrated, and at the same time shocked the British and global media, and even many people wondered what Tottenham Hotspur could beat Arsenal, or why Arsenal's performance in the second half would be judged by the two.

Many reporters have said when writing reports that Beckham's free-kick before the end of the first half assisted Hangrande to score, which helped Tottenham Hotspur regain morale and also greatly damaged Arsenal's fighting spirit.

But more people still feel that Ye Qiu's two substitutions have had an effect.

For the public opinion of the outside media, Tottenham Hotspur did not give too much participation and attention, because after playing Arsenal, the team immediately ushered in the first game of the Champions League group stage, away to Valencia, and the result was defeated by the Bats 0, and Tottenham Hotspur lost the Mestalla Stadium in the first game of the group stage.

It was David Villa who scored for Valencia, and the Spanish striker knocked on Petr Cech after receiving a through ball from David Silva on the left to score the winner for Valencia.

Ye Qiu also felt helpless about the defeat in the first game of the group stage, because the game with Arsenal four days ago was too fierce, although the team beat the opponent, but the physical energy of the main players was also very depleted, making Tottenham Hotspur go to Spain and encounter a sniper from Valencia.

The defeat dropped Tottenham Hotspur to fourth place in the group as Slavia Prague beat Stana Bucharest at home, but this was only the first round of the group and the current standings are not too convincing.

Back in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur ushered in the seventh round of the Premier League, away to Bolton, and Tottenham Hotspur with the front trident in the first half of the beautiful attack, completely stepped Bolton into the abyss of relegation, L score let Bolton in the first seven rounds of the league only three points, at the bottom of the league standings.

Tottenham Hotspur relied on this game to get nine points with three wins and two losses, and sit in tenth place in the standings, but this is also because Tottenham Hotspur has played two games less than their opponents.

At the top of the table are Arsenal, who are at the top of the league with 16 points, while Manchester United are close behind with 14 points, Manchester City with 13 points, but they have all played the full seven league games, while Liverpool are fourth with 12 points with a game in hand.

Jose Mourinho's Chelsea have not had a good start to the season, and it can even be said that it is a bit bad, with three wins, two draws and two defeats in seven games, and only 11 points, especially in the seventh round, where they lost 0 away to Manchester United, which put Mourinho under a lot of pressure.

In the midweek, in the round of 32 knockout rounds of the League Cup, Ye Qiu decisively chose to give up the League Cup this time and arranged all the young players to play, including Aaron Ramsey, Eden Hazzard, Kyle Walker, Carroll, Kompany, Lucas, Gareth Bale and other players were qualified to start.

Although everyone knows that Ye Qiu played the League Cup with youth team players, the purpose is to give the main squad a relaxed rest, and also to train this group of young players, but the young players still performed very well, beating Hull City 40 away, of which Carroll became the team's best striker and scored a brace.

This wonderful performance has everyone curious about Tottenham Hotspur's youth team, many of which are still in school, and many players are playing for Tottenham Hotspur for the first time, and the performance is so good, it has also made many Tottenham Hotspur fans full of anticipation for their own team's youth future.

But three days later, in the eighth round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur scored again at White Hart Lane Stadium by Martin O'Neill's Aston Villa
