Chapter 633: Supremacy
After playing this crazy key battle with Arsenal, Ye Qiu directly announced in the dressing room that night that the next day, that is, Sunday, when the team was on holiday, everyone could not use Theorebald, even those players who had already been scheduled to participate in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage on Wednesday.
Although the first team and the youth team are on holiday, Theobold does not seem to be deserted at all, because every weekend, many parents of fans bring their children to Theoboldd to participate in some club activities of Tottenham Hotspur, which is also a measure for Tottenham Hotspur to get close to the fans and attract young fans from an early age.
This activity attracts a lot of fans and parents every weekend, so the entire Theobald training base is still very lively, and Ye Qiu is idle at home, and his wife Huang Chu has to go to work, so he took his two children to Theobold, sent them to participate in the event, and after explaining the attention of the staff, he went to the training building.
Yesterday morning, Mauro? Tasotti handed him a document of the [Wave Offensive and Defense System], and he still hadn't had time to take a good look at it, so he took advantage of the morning time to take a good look at it.
Mauro? Tasotti is a very typical Italian head coach, his ideas and ideas are often very deep and detailed, and he explains the specific ideas and ideas of this wave attack and defense system through many details in this document, as well as the overall operation mode.
Everyone knows that the 433 tactic is very demanding on the wide players, especially when you have two in-cutting wingers in front of you, and almost the entire wing is given to the full-backs, but there is a problem, just like the 442 diamond midfield position, your midfield side defense will become a weakness.
In other words, as with Tottenham Hotspur against Chelsea, the attacking point is concentrated on the flanks of midfield.
In general, the wave offensive and defensive system actually does not have much innovation in the way of defense, or was it Mauro before? Tasotti's overall defensive approach is the same as Tottenham's insistence over the years, such as delaying tactics, such as how to effectively push the opposition to the wing, and so on.
The real change lies in the change in the overall formation.
This has to mention Ye Qiu's strategy for fullbacks in the past, Marcelo on the left and Alves on the right, the forward strategy of the two attacking fullbacks is one up and one back, the left goes up, and the right has to come back, and vice versa, without making mistakes, there is always only one fullback in front.
Suppose that when Marcelo on the left side is inserted, the left side must be attacking instead of defending, suppressing the opponent's right side.
Therefore, the moment you lose the ball in the front court, the opponent's counterattack is usually not achieved with his own right side, that is, hitting your left side, because you suppress his right side, it is difficult for him to play a counterattack effect on this side, and according to the principle of wave positioning, the left defender goes up, and the left central defender has to drag back.
Considering that if the opponent directly plays the counterattack on the left side, in the case of being suppressed on the left side, there is generally only one choice, long passes, so Ye Qiu arranges a taller figure, or a central defender with excellent air dominance ability, and a central defender with strong frontal defensive ability, Thiago? Silva may not be tall but has a good sense of awareness, while Kompany has done even better than Zigrinski in this area.
At the same time, Alves's so-called non-forward insertion does not actually mean that he has to drag in the very back position, or that he is dragged very far back, in fact, he may only be with the back Yaya? Toure is flat, but inserts less and is more of a point on the right side of the team.
Thiago? Silva is another point of play, because the left side is pressed, the opponent's defense is bound to tend to defend the left side, and the pressure on the right side will be less, which causes Yaya? Toure, Thiago? With Silva and Alves pressing down the left, the triangular combination became a powerful playmaker and solid point of possession for the team to place behind.
The core of the wave offensive and defensive system is switching, when Alves on the right side found the opponent's loophole and found an opportunity, he rushed forward as soon as possible, and at this time Marcelo on the left side had to retreat, and then changed the entire situation of the left front and right back just now, and turned it into a pattern of left back and right front.
Such a layout can ensure that the team's midfield and backfield have a solid point to get the ball, ensure that the team's midfield can provide a steady stream of offensive opportunities for the front, and also solve the weakness and shortcomings of the defensive level, especially the counterattack and the theory of 433.
If according to this layout, as long as Tottenham Hotspur can grasp the initiative in the game, they can launch an endless stream of attacks on the opponent again and again, and the opponent's counterattack has only two options, either choose the side where the attack and defense are better organized, that is, the strong attack, or play a long pass, looking behind the attacking side, but the efficiency is relatively low.
Therefore, the success rate of both options is not very ideal, Tottenham Hotspur can do the most to grasp the team's defensive solidity, and Mauro? Tasotti also laid out a lot of detailed defensive lines and coordination routines, all in order to further ensure the resilience of the team's defensive line, which played a very good role.
It's just that this routine is the same as the offensive routine, very detailed, very targeted, and very perfect, but it is too much and too cumbersome, if you introduce a central defender from the outside, it is estimated that he will be directly stunned by Tottenham Hotspur's defensive system that combines running, coordination, and co-defense.
Of course, even theoretically, it is impossible for the defence to be 100 per cent unscored, because no team has any defensive system that dares to say that it can ensure that it does not concede a goal, even if it is only in theoretical perfection, because, as Beckenbauer said, eleven players cannot cover the entire stadium.
It's like playing a puzzle, a piece of empty space, you can move it to where you want it to be by constantly moving, constantly changing positions, and the same is true for football defensive tactics, those areas that you can't cover are empty spaces in the puzzle game, and there is more than one, very many.
Therefore, whether it is offense or defense, it is important to pay attention to high probability, and any offensive system cannot be based on how to score goals, but on how to ensure that the ball is effectively advanced to the 30-meter area, and defense cannot be based on how to prevent the opponent from scoring, but should ensure how to prevent the opponent from scoring to the greatest extent.
Ye Qiu spent more than two hours reading this report, and there were many, many things in it that he had talked to Mao Luo in the past few years. Tasotti's research experience is also the result of their discussion with the coaching staff, which can be described as the brainchild of a group of people, so Ye Qiu is no stranger to it at all, and it seems that the speed is very fast.
After reading it, he felt that there were still a lot of things that had not been said, but basically it was already a very rigorous and meticulous system.
While Ye Qiu was reading, he also wrote down some of his thoughts in the blank space next to this report, all of which were some improvements or additions, as well as some of his own experiences, and then he was going to return them to Mauro? Tasotti and let them further refine it, which will be a teaching material for Tottenham Hotspur's internal coach training in the future.

After finishing work, Ye Qiu rubbed his slightly tired eyes, walked out of the office, and walked all the way to the area of the youth team, because the fan activities were concentrated in the youth team, and the first team was forbidden to enter, and even in the youth team, they were only confined to certain places.
After all, Theobald can't let the fans run amok.
When Ye Qiu came to the academy, he heard bursts of cheers, as well as the screams of children.
He saw a crowd cheering around one of the pitches, where the players were showing off their skills for everyone in the stadium, or for the kids, and it was clearly not a show arranged by the club, but something they volunteered to participate in when they arrived at Theorebord.
There were five players on the pitch, including Raul, and the other four were Neymar, Hazard, Coutinho and Ramsey, who were on one of the training pitches to show off their skills for the children.
The main performance is to place some dummies that fall down at the first touch in the front of the big penalty area, and the players have to take the ball around these dummies as quickly as possible, but at the same time they can't knock down those dummies, and then kick the goal in a specific area, and the angle of the goal is also required, and there are fixed restrictions.
This is a very popular recreational training program in the Tottenham Hotspur team, players often use it to bet with each other, and this kind of training has very high requirements for the player's ball sense, dribbling speed, cadence and pace, as well as the change of speed and direction, as well as the flexibility of the body and feet, etc., reflecting a player's comprehensive skills and physical fitness.
In this kind of game, which looks fun and beautiful on the surface, it can fully reflect the different characteristics of the players.
For example, Hazzard, his basic skills are very solid, and his physical condition is quite good, after all, he has been a new generation of players who have been cultivated and carved out of Tottenham Hotspur's academy over the years, which are almost impeccable, and he is also used to dribbling the ball with small steps similar to Robben and Messi, and he is very similar to Robben and Messi in this regard.
Hazzard's speed and explosiveness are also very fast, so he shoots with his feet after completing this series of technical moves, and he is the fastest and best in the whole process, because this kind of small step itself is very suitable for this sudden change of direction in a narrow range, and Hazzard's ability to suddenly adjust his cadence is also quite good, which reminds Ye Qiu of Robben back then.
Of course, Hazzard is not without problems, he has two obvious problems now, one is shooting skills, although his shots have all gone into the goal, but they are not up to the requirements, the angle and footwork are not good, and the other is his footwork and adjustment when changing directions.
The top players who are good at dribbling the ball in small steps have a strong ability to change direction, and the speed of changing forward and backward is basically not much change, which is a necessary element for top attackers, so watching Messi, Robben and Ribery change direction with the ball, basically they will not slow down, they will pass directly, and the opponent will not have time to block it.
Hazzard will have an obvious pause when changing direction, not because he is not capable, but because there is a problem with the use of footwork and his own adjustment, but this is not a big problem, although it is difficult for the coach to correct, after all, everyone feels comfortable with the use of their feet, how to use it, so he can only rely on himself to hone and overcome through the game exercise.
Whether it is shooting or footwork, Hazzard's problem is not serious, if the current development trend is maintained, and over time, this player will become a great weapon, and will become Tottenham Hotspur after Messi and Ribery, the best post-90s raid killer, and even do not rule out the development of the middle.
Neymar's biggest problem with Hazzard is his Brazilian-style style of play, first of all, the technical details are not concise, which requires more European games and exercises to help him grind out those fancy and become more simple, practical and deadly.
There is also physical confrontation, Brazil's domestic defense and the European arena, especially the Premier League and Champions League defense, that is not at the same level at all, the requirements for the physical fitness of players are obviously higher, Neymar is the top in terms of ball sense or various skills, if you properly improve your physical confrontation ability, and at the same time make your skills more concise and practical, he will become the most outstanding superstar.
In this regard, Neymar is different from Hazzard, Neymar's ability to read the game, the big picture and the insight into the game space are very good, while Hazzard's assault ability is stronger, but these aspects will be weaker, so Neymar and Eden? Hazzard's two post-90s youngsters look similar, but in reality the development path will be different.
Tottenham Hotspur has invested heavily in the cultivation and cultivation of a group of young players, and Ye Qiu regards post-90s players, including Neymar and Hazard, as the hope of Tottenham Hotspur's future, so he and the coaching staff have spared no effort to focus on carving this group of new stars.
Ye Qiu can even be said to be a little arrogant, Neymar, Hazzard, Ramsey, Coutinho, Eriksen, Pogba and Phil? Jones and a group of young rookies, any one of them goes out, they are the type that can be snatched by European giants, and they all appear in the Tottenham Hotspur team, which not only improves the strength of the first team, but also puts huge pressure on superstars including Ribery and Messi.
"These young people are really good!" Raul saw Ye Qiu standing on the sidelines, walked over with a smile, and said.
Ye Qiu doesn't have to think about it to know why Raul appeared in Theobold, because Raul has always insisted on training every day, which is a way for him to maintain his condition, and according to him, after playing professional football for so many years, he has a feeling that if he relaxes his requirements for himself now, then he is not far from retiring.
"You're more experienced, help me mention them more!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.
Raul smiled, "This group of young lads makes me feel a lot of pressure, that Coutinho, the awareness and insight of passing through the ball, really reminds me of my good friend Guti, but his passing skills are still a little worse, but he is still very young. ”
Being able to get such a high evaluation from Raul shows his appreciation for Coutinho, and Ye Qiu has always admired Coutinho, he knows very well that Coutinho has vision and insight, and the key is that he must do a good job of how to accurately pass the ball under his feet to the place where his eyes can see.
It's not just about passing, it's about a lot of details and technical footwork.
Football is a very complex science, a very cumbersome system, anyone who sees a player's action, often behind this very simple action, what it represents is not just his foot to do such an action, there are a lot of things and connotations behind it, this is the complexity and unpredictability of football.
"How's it going?" Ye Qiu asked with concern.
Raul's injury has healed since he was last injured, but he hasn't played again.
"It's okay!" Raul replied with a smile, but quickly added, "Need a little bit of a game to get a little bit of excitement!" ”
Ye Qiu heard that Raul took the initiative to ask for battle, and laughed, "That's simple, you will be on Wednesday!" ”
"Really?" Raul was very happy to hear it, Wednesday was the Champions League group stage.
Tottenham Hotspur has won four consecutive victories in advance, and it is the top of the group, and the remaining two group games are not very meaningful to Tottenham Hotspur, although there is a generous bonus, but Ye Qiu prefers to use it to train young players.
For Tottenham Hotspur, it doesn't mean much, but for Raul, the meaning is extraordinary, because every goal he scores in the Champions League now is often setting a record, and Raul himself knows very well that this record may not be able to last long, because Messi, Cristiano? Ronaldo and even the younger generation of superstars such as Franck Ribery have emerged in an era of high goal percentage.
Sometimes, as a striker, Raul envies these players, because they are in an era that is very suitable for the survival of strikers, this era because of the change of tactics, because of the asynchronous offensive and defensive tactics, it is becoming easier and easier for offensive players to score goals, and there is even a trend that is to brush goals.
It's like Tottenham Hotspur just slaughtered Arsenal 9-0, if it was in the past, regardless of the strength of the two sides, it would have been difficult for such a score to appear on two teams of such a high level, but now it has appeared, because Arsenal could not keep up with Tottenham Hotspur throughout the game.
In the same way, Raul can see that the record he has set now will be broken by them in a few years, but no matter what, he still wants to continue to challenge himself, which is what every professional player who has strict requirements for himself wants to do.
"Go for it and enjoy your football!" Ye Qiu smiled and patted Raul on the shoulder, encouraging the Spanish golden boy, and then turned to leave the training ground because he found that there were many fans gathered towards him.
In the eyes of Tottenham Hotspur fans, Ye Qiu is the supreme authority of this team!
