What does it take for a young player to become a talent?

Perhaps the first thing most people will react to is injury.

Because only by staying away from injuries can young players maintain the momentum of improvement for a long time, and often many times, young players are defeated by injuries, and a serious injury is enough to ruin their otherwise very bright future.

But what else is there besides injuries?

It's also very important to have the right manager.

Don't believe it, Oriol? Romeu will tell you a living case that this is indeed the case.

The 20-year-old Spanish midfielder arrived at Stamford Bridge with the aura of a hopeful star, and the Blues boss described Romeu as the hope of Chelsea's midfield at the back, arguing that the La Masia midfielder has what it takes to be a top midfielder, and his arrival will give Chelsea's midfield balance and freedom to all.

Tall and strong, excellent positional sense, strong tactical understanding, good passing and speed, and he also has very good organizational skills, this is what Boas said about Romeu, and when evaluating Romeu's stopping, Boas used a very exaggerated adjective, cosmic.

Perhaps, he really has seen too much Ultraman!

In Boas's view, Romeu is a player who is very good at exemplifying his tactical thinking, pressing high and pressing all over the pitch, and Romeu's style from La Masia, as well as his technical ability, make him an important metronome in the Chelsea squad when transitioning between attack and defence.

The away challenge to Tottenham Hotspur was seen by Villas-Boas as a game of self-redemption, and there were media reports that he was facing Roman Abramovich and Piney? Zahavi also vowed that he would at least get away from the game, and when facing the media microphone, he repeatedly stressed his confidence.

With the likes of Frank Lampard and John Terry waiting for the local derby, Villas-Boas became the fifth Blues manager to challenge Ye Qiu in the last five years, but he has never been able to help Roman Abramovich heal the eternal pain in his memory.

Even before the game, when the media was discussing the starting line-ups of both sides, in the midfield position, everyone thought that Mikel would be qualified to start, because in such a crucial battle, the more experienced Mikel was the most indispensable.

But Villas-Boas was clearly looking to surprise and surprise everyone with his starting line-up for this game.

Goalkeeper Giulio? Cesar, there's no doubt about that, but left-back Ashley at the back? Cole, central defender Terry partnered with Ivanovic, there is no suspense, but at right-back he chose the veteran Ferreira instead of Bosingwa, which is a miracle.

In midfield, Frank Lampard and Ramirez also had no problem starting, but the midfield position was abandoned Mikel in favor of Spanish teenager Romeu, which is another big controversy, although from a theoretical and characteristic point of view, Romeu is more suitable for the back position of Villas-Boas's tactical system, but can he be on his own?

If you want to talk about being young, he is already twenty years old, the twenty-year-old Ramsey is already the main force in Tottenham Hotspur, and the twenty-year-old Messi, Fabregas and others have also emerged, so Romeu said that he is not young anymore.

In the frontcourt, the combination of Drogba and Torres, who have never been able to run in this season, was abandoned, and the combination of Malouda, Drogba and Sturridge was arranged.

Tottenham Hotspur is sitting at their home stadium, and Ye Qiu also lined up the main lineup in this game.

The goalkeeper is Cech, and the backline is Marcelo, Kompany, Thiago? Silva and Alves, the midfield is the iron triangle of Ramsey, Pirlo and Vidal, and the front is Hazzard, Cavani and Messi.

Although Ribery has returned from injury and returned to the training ground, Ye Qiu did not put him in the squad for this game, but let Hazzard start, and Neymar sat on the bench.

Before the start of this game, Ye Qiu put forward two requirements when arranging game tactics in the locker room, first, running, the current Chelsea team is not suitable for playing high pressing defensive tactics, because this set of tactics must be based on the team's good enough running ability, but the current Chelsea team does not.

Second, focus on attacking Chelsea's midfield, which is Mikel's position.

It should be said that Ye Qiu's pre-match arrangement was based on the report given by the team's tactical analysis team, and was formulated based on his past experience with Chelsea, as well as some Chelsea game videos he watched this season, and when the game started, he found that he was half right and half wrong.

Boas's surprise tactics are indeed very surprising, at least Ye Qiu never expected that Romeu would start.

Therefore, considering the home battle, coupled with Boas's sudden change of formation, Ye Qiu temporarily adjusted the team's tactics before the game, and started the game to play steadily, and the players also resolutely implemented Ye Qiu's tactics and adjustments, and did not actively attack after the opening, but still used their own running and pulling to drive the rhythm of the game.

However, although Tottenham Hotspur dominated the game, the goals in the first ten minutes never worked, and Chelsea's defense seemed to have improved to a certain extent, especially after Romeu replaced Mikel, his range of movement was wider and covered a wider area, and Tottenham Hotspur's attack seemed to be stopped by him.

Villas-Boas, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, looked pleased with his team's start to the game, especially after fifteen minutes and looked to have survived Tottenham's opening scramble and the game began to reach a stalemate.

But Ye Qiu, who was in the coach's seat of the home team, shook his head, "Tender, still too tender!" ”

Although Ye Qiu is younger than Boas, when it comes to coaching experience, Boas can't catch up with Ye Qiu.

Mauro? After hearing this, Tasotti also smiled, "Although Romeu has a larger range of movement, he often leaves his position and distances himself from the back line, forcing the back line to either follow forward or causing the distance to be widened. ”

The result of the forward pressure is that when you can't suppress Tottenham Hotspur's attack in midfield, it is easy to be hit directly behind by the white lily, and the result of being stretched is just as dangerous, which means that once someone appears in this area, especially players with strong individual ability such as Messi, Cavani and Hazzard, it is a fatal crisis.

"Mikel's shortcomings are indeed quite fatal, but his strengths are also outstanding, firstly, he does not leave his position easily, secondly, he barely concedes the ball in the process of attacking and defending, and thirdly, he rarely sticks to the ball and tries to pass the ball in the way that has the highest success rate, such as crossing."

When he said this, Ye Qiu shook his head, "This is the result of the great tactical turmoil!" ”

It should be said that Mikel is very suitable for Mourinho's tactical thinking, he is tuned according to Mourinho's tactics, so he looks like a Makelele positional midfielder, but if you want to press the defense forward, then you either learn Barcelona to control the ball, or Tottenham Hotspur to use Yaya? Toure is a covered type of back.

Of course, you can also learn from Ye Qiu's practice this season, using a Pirlo who doesn't run much, plus two midfielders Ramsey and Vidal, who have a large range of runs and can ensure the offensive and defensive completion rate, that can also achieve the purpose of balancing the midfield.

But in the current Chelsea tactical play, if you use Mikel, sorry, the other two midfielders have to revolve around him, and Ramirez is a little better, Lampard's words can't guarantee that the attack and defense are in place.

That's why Villas-Boas wants to use Romeu, but here's the problem, he likes to organise with the ball, advance with the ball, to put it bluntly, it's a bit sticky to the ball, and he's prone to losing his position.

The tragedy of Chelsea now lies here, the manager changes all day long, there is no fixed thinking, there is no mature tactical system, the current set of players may adapt to Mourinho, Hiddink, Scolari and others, and even in the hands of Ancelotti can work, but at that time there was an Essien, but the Ghana Buffalo is not healed now.

And during Carlo Ancelotti's time, the Italian had already mentioned Chelsea's ageing squad more than once.

When your tactics change all day, when your players are struggling to adapt to the manager, when your squad is aging, all these and so many problems come at the same time, if you are an experienced manager, you should choose to build the team's tactics according to the current situation, but Chelsea have poached a fledgling Boas who only knows one set of tactics.

Ye Qiu glanced at Boas, he noticed that when Boas looked at him, his face was a little proud, he shook his head and smiled, walked out of the home team's coach's box, came to the sidelines, and shouted at Ramsey, who quickly took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to run to the sidelines.

"Tell Vidal and Pirlo, take the ball, pull Romeu out and hit the back!"

Concise and to the point, but Ramsey, who was sweating profusely, nodded at Ye Qiu, ran back to the field, and then found an opportunity to convey the manager's meaning to Vidal and Pirlo, as well as other teammates.

As the minutes ticked by, twenty minutes passed, and the situation didn't seem to change much, as if Tottenham Hotspur had the initiative, but failed to break through Chelsea's defence, and even Andy? Gray praised during the commentary, "Chelsea's defense was pretty well organised today! ”

Martin? Taylor shook his head, "I think the main thing is that Tottenham Hotspur's attack is not threatening!" ”

But as soon as the words of the two Premier League celebrities fell, they saw Chelsea rushing into the 30-meter area of Tottenham Hotspur with an attack, but at the edge of the penalty area, Kompany broke the ball, and the Belgian central defender passed to Pirlo after breaking the ball.

The Italian had his back to the ball, turned away from Frank Lampard and passed to Ramsey.

For a while, Chelsea's entire defence was rapidly retreating, and Ramsey was rushing forward with the ball, facing Romeu, and next to him was Ramirez, who was chasing back.

Under normal circumstances, Romeu should have stepped back at this time and let Ramires entangle Ramsey, and he would have stood in the right position, but the Spaniard rushed forward as soon as possible, and what he wanted was to form a circle with Ramires and cut off Ramsey's ball.

But Ramsey was clearly prepared for this, taking advantage of Romeu's arrival, he pulled the ball to the right and sent a diagonal pass with his right foot, while Messi ran from the right to the area near the middle to take the ball and turn around.

All defenders are afraid of attacking players facing the direction of the goal, for the simple reason that they have too many options, especially for top attackers like Messi, once they are facing the direction of attack and rushing forward with the ball, the defenders basically have no choice but to foul.

Terry knew that he couldn't retreat, he chose to stop Messi, but the Argentine's speed increased, a feint smashed the ball, directly shook the tall Terry out of balance, slipped to the ground, and passed diagonally with his left foot to the left side of the penalty area, Cavani dragged Ivanovic, Hazzard and Ferreira fought for speed, and the Portuguese veteran was completely blown up.

On the left side of the penalty spot, Hazzard, who arrived at the horse, grabbed the goalkeeper Cesar who struck before he stabbed the ball with his foot, avoided Cesar and then chased after him, and pushed the empty goal, 1:0!

The first goal to break through the opponent's goal boosted the morale of Tottenham Hotspur and sounded the horn of attack against Chelsea again.

Soon, it was another attack against Romeu, Messi pulled to the middle, moved to the middle of Romeu and the defense to get the ball, Pirlo's overhead diagonal pass came to him accurately and quickly, this time Romeu reacted quickly, turned and rushed up, but at this time Messi was already facing Terry.

When it came to whether to foul, Romeu hesitated, and only after watching Messi stop and smash the ball past Terry did he get close to Messi, but at this time he didn't dare to foul, because once the foul was a red card.

The final result was that the two fought for speed, the shorter but very flexible Messi easily shook off Romeu, rushed into the Chelsea penalty area, and scored a goal, 2:0!

The entire White Hart Lane stadium was completely fried, all the White Lily fans were cheering for Messi's outstanding performance, the Argentine superstar always had an explosion at the end of each year, because he had to fight for more votes for himself in various selections, and Tottenham Hotspur also used his outburst to actively build momentum for him.

Defeated like a mountain, Boas clearly realized that his battle of redemption had been completely lost, but he still wanted to work harder, at least he had to play his own tactical ideas.

But after scoring two goals in ten minutes, Tottenham Hotspur soon played an attack in the 34th minute, Pirlo diagonally passed diagonally to the left, Hazzard forced a breakthrough through Ferreira and picked up the penalty area, Cavani's header crossed the back point, and Vidal did not jump from close range in front of the goal, and the header on the spot broke through the Chelsea goal again, 3:0!

Tottenham Hotspur were almost out of control, and even after taking a three-goal lead, they still bombarded Chelsea, adopting crazy midfield pressing and high pressing tactics, forcing Chelsea to bear huge pressure from top to bottom.

Andy? Gray and Martin? Taylor was reluctant to say during the commentary that Tottenham's first half looked more like a lesson for Chelsea.

'Twenty minutes into the game, Tottenham Hotspur had a noticeable change, they no longer insisted on playing on the ribs, but more from the midfield to the ball to attack Chelsea's backfield, obviously using Romeu's point.

'Villas-Boas has always said that his team will continue to defend high and press and now I think he should look at Tottenham Hotspur, who are defending high and pressing pressing, but their players can run more than 11 kilometres per game, can the Chelsea players?

'Forcing the wrong tactics when the players are not the right fit, Boas has created the current predicament of Chelsea!'

But just in Andy? Gray and Martin? Taylor has just finished saying that Tottenham Hotspur has a tight press in front, Ashley? Cole pulled to the left to get the ball, Messi made a symbolic press on him, and Ashley? Kerr quickly moved the ball to the middle.

Cavani was already retreating, and as soon as he saw the opportunity, he rushed to Terry like a wolf, who hurriedly made a mistake in the pass and passed the ball to Tottenham Hotspur's left winger Hazzard, who took the ball and directly slammed it straight behind Terry and Ivanovic.

Cavani, who was already rushing forward, of course would not give up such an opportunity, did not slow down and swept directly past Terry, grabbed ahead of Terry, and directly kicked a powerful volley on the line of the big penalty area, which penetrated Cesar's goal again, 4:0!

"Wow!!!!!!!!"

'Twenty-five minutes, before the end of the first half, Tottenham Hotspur scored four goals in 25 minutes, oh my God, Tottenham Hotspur are going to beat Chelsea to death!" Andy? Gray was thrilled.

These bystanders, all of them are afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

Martin? Taylor also laughed on the side, "There's no way, the difference in strength is too big, Drogba is a decoration in front, if you don't solve the problem in the middle and back, the waist of the entire midfield can't stand up, it will be difficult for you to pose a threat to Tottenham Hotspur!" ”

'I even have a hunch that unless Villas-Boas makes a change in midfield, Chelsea will leave White Hart Lane with a humiliating scoreline if this situation continues!'

Andy? Gray was excited after hearing this, "If this is the case, then this season's Tottenham Hotspur is really magical, against Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea, the traditional giants are almost wiped out by them!" ”

Martin? Taylor also said with admiration: "In fact, from the perspective of the starters of both sides in this game, Tottenham Hotspur did not have much pertinence, and Boas's surprise soldiers still had a certain effect, but the key is that after halfway through the first half, Ye Qiu saw the problem and immediately made adjustments, but Boas did not adjust with the adjustment of Tottenham Hotspur, which directly led to a rout!" ”

"Yes, if you look at the course of the game, Villas-Boas and Romeu should be held responsible!" Andy? Gray agrees, "Oh, yes, and the hapless Portuguese veteran Ferreira!" ”

If you lose the game, you must be looking for responsibility, whoever is unlucky, that is who! Wow!!!!!!!! ”

'Twenty-five minutes, before the end of the first half, Tottenham Hotspur scored four goals in 25 minutes, oh my God, Tottenham Hotspur are going to beat Chelsea to death!" Andy? Gray was thrilled.
