Benitez always appears in front of fans in a suit and leather shoes, on this point, Ye Qiu once joked that Spanish fat people can only look at it when they wear a suit, and Benitez countered that this is his attitude towards football, at least not like some people, who are too mixed.

Early autumn nights aren't particularly cold, and London doesn't have the humidity of a port city like Liverpool.

Benitez stepped on the turf of the White Hart Lane Stadium, which was soft and comfortable, although he was unconvinced by Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur, but in terms of the field, he still admired it very much, because the White Hart Lane Stadium was always so comfortable, and it was always in a state of turf that was most suitable for playing football.

Of course, he wouldn't think that this is Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur are above board, mainly because this group of bastards has higher requirements for turf than all teams, and the turf is so bad that the visiting team may not be injured, but they themselves will definitely suffer.

Fat Guy has been so busy in the last few days that he doesn't even have time to shave, and he has watched all the games of Tottenham Hotspur this season, and he has to admit that he has a headache for this north London team.

Playing Manchester United and Manchester City are two very different styles, Manchester United fiasco is mainly due to Ferguson's carelessness, directly suppressed by Tottenham Hotspur after the opening, the rhythm was completely controlled, and then Manchester United chose to fight hard, and the result was defeated.

Manchester City is different, Mancini consciously wants to play Tottenham Hotspur's two ribs, obviously aimed at Pirlo's single back, but the Italian obviously didn't notice the changes in Tottenham Hotspur's defensive system in the past two years, Tottenham Hotspur is best at playing two ribs, Ye Qiu will let his two ribs be exposed and don't care?

If you want Benitez to judge, this season's Tottenham Hotspur team has more Fabregas and David than last season? Silva and Yaya? Totney's Tottenham are more balanced and at the same time more difficult to deal with.

Playing a weak team, Tottenham Hotspur can unleash the powerful attacking power brought by the single back, they can be fearless, because they have an absolute advantage in strength, so the single back will not be a problem, but will become an effective weapon for Tottenham Hotspur to play more violent attacking football.

Because other people have two backs, you have a single back, which means that you put one more person in the attacking end.

Of course, it is not a skill to play a weak team, but a strong team is the key to reflecting the core combat effectiveness of a team.

It's a headache for a strong team to play Tottenham Hotspur because they are very balanced, they are not afraid of you pressing out, the reason is simple, their attack is very good, you press out and play, it is good for them, and one of their biggest changes this season is that the switch between attack and defense is very fast, and the attack is very impactful.

But they are not afraid of you to shrink to defend, when you shrink to defend, they will quickly switch to possession tactics, through back and forth, fast and concise passing and receiving in the front court, non-stop running and pulling, especially that sudden change in rhythm, even if you don't have a loophole, they will do everything possible to help you create a loophole and hit it.

So, in theory, there is no weakness in attack and defense for this Tottenham Hotspur team, they can play both positional and offensive battles, they have few weaknesses, they can play fast and fierce, they can also take a slow and methodical cut of possession, and more importantly, they can switch back and forth between multiple styles of tactics.

Whatever tactics work, I'll fight how I want, see if you can adapt and keep up with me, if not, you'll be finished!

Balanced teams have not appeared before, such as Ye Qiu and Mourinho's Chelsea, Alex Ferguson's Manchester United, unbeaten season Arsenal, these teams at that time were very balanced, but the problem is that these balanced teams are not as good as Tottenham Hotspur now in terms of diversification of attacking methods and switching back and forth between different styles.

In other words, their balance is reflected in the attack, attack and defense, but you can't expect them to play Barcelona-style possession all at once, and all at once with the impact of Real Madrid, it's impossible.

Tottenham Hotspur is not as good as Barcelona in possession, not as good as Real Madrid in terms of impact, and not as good as Dortmund in high-intensity pressing and aggressive running, but he has a certain balance between these styles, can switch back and forth between them, and they all do quite well.

At first glance, you will find that they have a lot of weaknesses, such as full-backs attacking better than defending, such as single midfielders, such as defending at the front of the big penalty area, etc., but in fact, when you come to the game, you will suddenly find that you can't find these holes in them, because they cover them up very well.

So, it's not impossible for you to beat such a team, because there is no team in this world that can't be beaten, and there is always a strategy to win, but you will find that all the methods you can use to beat this team will not have a high success rate, or even very low, or you can only wait until their players are in a bad state to have enough chances of winning.

Is it perfect?

No, this team is not perfect, but he is very balanced, he can make up for local weaknesses and deficiencies with comprehensiveness, and even use the coordination of all players to fill in the poor form of players in individual positions.

Benitez has spent most of the past month having a headache and thinking about how to improve his chances of beating Tottenham Hotspur, and he finds it an interesting paradox.

Theoretically, there is a way, and that is to get rid of Tottenham Hotspur's possession, knock out their pass success rate and limit their running routes.

But to do that, you can't be conservative first, you have to press out, but the problem is, after you press out, maybe you haven't controlled their possession and passing, and they've already broken through your goal, so what to do?

And it can be seen in advance, Benitez wants to beat Tottenham Hotspur's possession rate and pass success rate, doesn't Ye Qiu want to? He could even imagine that Ye Qiu was in the locker room just now, probably still emphasizing the player's point.

In fact, at first glance, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur have a lot of similarities.

In the front trident, Tottenham Hotspur is a combination of Ribery, Cavani and Messi, while Liverpool is a combination of Mata, Suarez and Villa, of which Messi and Villa's role is similar, Suarez and Villa, and Ribery and Cavani's configuration and tactical role are also very close.

Of course, this is from a tactical point of view, not individual play.

And the biggest gap between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur is in the midfield!

Benitez just said in the dressing room that if he can't suppress the midfielder of Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool will definitely die!

Sometimes the manager has to make a choice, even if you don't have a choice, even if you can't guarantee that you're sure of it, but you have to make a choice, give all the players a clear answer, let them know what they're going to do.

Mancini failed miserably because he didn't have a clear answer.

Because of this, Benitez chose to continue to play according to his usual style of play in the past, and adopted this high-intensity midfield pressure after the opening, striving to be able to suppress Tottenham Hotspur, at least trying to contain Tottenham Hotspur's state and attack.

It must be mentioned here that the so-called poor state is actually a relative statement.

Assuming that Tottenham Hotspur were stopped by Liverpool's intense pressing and pressing after the opening, and played in a very uncomfortable state throughout the game, and could not make an effective resistance, even if the form they showed before the game was useless, they would still be said to be in poor form after the game.

Therefore, the quality of the state is also closely related to the team's performance in the game.

Rafael Benitez paced back and forth in the visitors' coaching area on the sidelines, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle, grabbing the stubble on his upper lip and chin with his right hand, a little prickly, but his attention was all on the field.

The referee of this match is the famous referee of the Premier League, Philip? Dodd, standing on the periphery of the center circle of the White Hart Lane Stadium at this moment, silently looked at the watch on his wrist, the whistle was in his mouth, and in the center circle, Suarez and Villa sandwiched the ball in the middle left and right, jumped a few times on the spot, and moved their bodies.

With Philip? Dodd's whistle blows, Suarez quickly kicks the ball to Villa, who knocks back, and the game begins!

Although it was an away game, Liverpool's start was not conservative, taking advantage of the opportunity to kick off, it had an impact on Tottenham Hotspur at the beginning, and the trident was very high, especially Suarez and Villa, who looked more like a double striker, Juan? Juan Mata was behind and was responsible for getting the ball and organising.

Tottenham Hotspur also have a lot of experience in dealing with such situations, with the opening back line still standing in the 30-metre area, and the entire midfield is appropriately retracted to keep the formation compact and orderly.

Liverpool tried to attack Tottenham Hotspur's defensive formation, but failed to achieve results twice in a row, as soon as the ball entered Tottenham Hotspur's half, it was as if it had hit an impregnable wall, and had to pass back, and the front trident had no chance to turn around as soon as he got the ball.

It wasn't until the second minute that Tottenham Hotspur really had a chance to get the ball, and Ramsey tried to go straight behind Carragher and Skrtel, but Carragher was very solid to intercept the ball and the ball was changed to Liverpool again.

After a little organization, Liverpool launched another round of attacks, and this time they seemed to play more patiently. Juan Mata dropped back a bit, Gerrard passed the ball to his feet, took the ball and turned to finally get a chance to face Pirlo, and the Spaniard dribbled the ball into Pirlo's defensive zone.

In a one-on-one situation, Pirlo suffered a lot, unable to effectively organize Mata's dribbling advance, and when the Spaniard hit the front of the defence, he directly stuffed the ball straight away, and the ball went from Thiago? The gap between Silva and Kompany was stretched a little too wide, and Suarez quickly stepped back in.

At this moment, more than 30,000 Tottenham fans in the entire White Hart Lane stadium were silently exclaimed. Petr Cech broke out of the six-yard box and got ahead of Suarez, falling to the ground and saving the ball into his arms to defuse a dangerous attack from Liverpool.

Petr Cech got up from the ground, the ball in his arms, and he headed at Thiago in front of him? Silva and Kompany shouted, believing that the distance between the two team-mates had been stretched a little too far, especially Kompany, who was too far to the left.

The latter shook his head apologetically, saying that he was worried about Villa's impact on Marcelo's area, and he must be careful next time.

There is no line of defense in the world that cannot make mistakes, because the opponent keeps pulling you, constantly moving you through the ball, you will definitely expose the problem, the key is whether your defensive switching and movement can effectively target the opponent's attack.

Ye Qiu also frowned on the sidelines, Juan? Juan Mata could play on the left, but this time he suddenly moved to the middle and dropped back to pick up the ball and turn to attack Andrea Pirlo head-on.

"Arturo!" Ye Qiu walked to the sidelines, shouted at Vidal, and at the same time made a gesture for him to retreat a little, which was to tell Vidal that you were a little far away from Pirlo just now.

Ramsey also noticed this, he and Vidal were indeed a little bit up front, detached from Pirlo, causing Liverpool to pass the ball, Juan? Juan Mata picked up the ball in the middle of them and Pirlo, turned and struck Pirlo head-on, which was dangerous indeed, and if it wasn't for Cech's decisive attack, it would have been a one-on-one shot!

The two midfielders looked at each other, both realised their mistake and exchanged a look.

The game restarted, Liverpool pressed fiercely, the trident formed a pressure in the front, Kompany just got the ball, Suarez pressed up, and he didn't dare to pass to Cech, for fear of making a mistake, so he transferred to Marcelo on the left.

The Brazilian left-back ran back and picked up the ball on the edge of the box, but with his back to the attacker, Villa kept out Marcelo with his body.

Marcelo is small, more flexible, and Villa is not bad, and he has never let Marcelo turn around, and the Brazilian has no choice but to turn around and force a big foot, and the ball is passed to the front, but Glenn? Johnson pressed Franck Ribery to head back into midfield.

Steven Gerrard took the ball and prepared to attack head-on, but Ramsey was in front of him and the Liverpool captain crossed to Javier? Martinez, but Pirlo was the first to leave his position to go up to the top as he was closer to Martinez's position, while Vidal was waiting for an ambush in a position a little further behind.

Martinez was blocked by Andrea Pirlo in the front, with Aardo Gerrard flanking Ramsey on the right and Jose at left wing-back on the left? Enrique came up, so he turned sideways to the left and passed to the left to find Jose? Enrique.

But as soon as he passed the ball, he regretted it, because he found Vidal rushing up from behind quickly, as if he had expected him to pass to the left, he intercepted the ball halfway, and after breaking the ball, he quickly rushed forward with the ball.

Tottenham Hotspur switched from defence to attack almost in the blink of an eye, with Vidal dribbling into Liverpool's half, drawing the Reds' entire midfield in, Lionel Messi and Franck Ribery up front, and Cavani facing the attackers but deliberately slowing down and waiting for Vidal's pass behind him.

Seeing that Cavani was running slowly, deliberately placing his position between the two central defenders and the midfielder, Vidal realized the opportunity and passed the ball to the right side of Cavani, and the Uruguayan kept looking back as he ran forward, and when the ball came, he happened to control the ball with his right foot, but the whole advance did not slow down.

The middle turned into a two-on-two, with Carragher and Skrtel facing Cavani and Messi, which was a very good opportunity, and there were even a lot of Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stands who were already on their feet and ready to shout for the goal.

Cavani was still about five meters away from the arc and saw Skrtel and Carragher consciously want to catch up, José? Enrique and Lucas were both dropping back quickly, and the opportunity was fleeting, so he suddenly slowed down, startling Skrtel, thinking he was going to shoot from distance.

Just when Skrtel pounced, Cavani crossed diagonally to the right side of the arc with his right foot, and when Messi stopped the ball, Jose? Enrique was already blocked in front of him, but Messi smashed the ball with a right foot to the left and slammed past Jose? Enrique, with his left foot, is directly a curling shot.

Messi's whole shooting process was clean and neat, without the slightest drag, and the angle of the ball was also tricky, following an arc over the head of goalkeeper Reina and then falling, drilling into the left side of the goal, 1:0!

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！！”

"In less than five minutes into the game, Tottenham Hotspur knocked on Liverpool's goal, which was the strongest revenge for Liverpool's one-on-one goal, and Tottenham Hotspur was clearly telling this group of Liverpool players who came to the away stadium with facts, welcome to hell, gentlemen!"

The whole White Hart Lane stadium resounded with an overwhelming cheer, almost everyone was crazy about Tottenham Hotspur's goal, it was a very fast, and at the same time there was no lack of subtle counter-attacking goals, if in the offensive end, did not reflect the delicate cooperation of Tottenham Hotspur in the past, then on the defensive end, you can clearly see a huge net woven by Tottenham Hotspur players.

Through this huge net, they netted all Liverpool's passes and offensive routes, cut them, and even gave strong counterattacks!

Benitez stomped his foot on the sidelines, he missed the opportunity with a single shot just now, and he was still thinking that there should be a chance, but this turn, in less than a minute, Tottenham Hotspur broke through his team's goal, which brought a lot of blows to Liverpool.

But Benitez is a coach in the end, he quickly realized the problem, he knows very well that Tottenham Hotspur is best at playing this kind of rhythm battle, just now Liverpool pressed with high intensity, and launched a round of onslaught, but now Tottenham Hotspur has the advantage, Liverpool must take the defensive.

Taking advantage of the victory and chasing this has always been the creed of Tottenham Hotspur and Ye Qiu.

Just when Benitez called on his players to stabilize their defense, Tottenham Hotspur really launched a rush against Liverpool, and the whole situation was completely turned upside down. Thorns knocked on Liverpool's goal, this is the strongest revenge for Liverpool's single goal just now, Tottenham Hotspur is obviously telling this group of Liverpool players who came to the away stadium with facts, welcome to hell, gentlemen! ”
