Chapter 750: Tide Maker
The referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, and the entire Stadium Louis II burst into cheers.
At 3-1, the scoreboard showed the scoreline for both teams, and both sides scored a goal each after 80 minutes, with Tottenham's Lionel Messi latching on to Hazzard's assist for Tottenham's third, and Sturridge saving face for Chelsea just before the end of the game.
However, Chelsea's goal was more due to Tottenham's already winning slot.
But even so, Ye Qiu was still a little dissatisfied with the team's conceding at the last moment, because he thought that some players were not concentrated enough in the final stage, especially after the team made continuous substitution adjustments, there were some problems, which caused Chelsea to seize a chance, but the game was won after all.
As soon as the game ended, Tottenham Hotspur rushed out of the bench and rushed into the pitch excitedly, even the players who did not participate in the game, but were still brought to Monaco by the team, were celebrating with the fans in the stands, including Ribery who was injured.
The staff quickly entered the stadium and began to prepare for the podium, after all, the UEFA Super Cup is also a trophy.
After Ye Qiu high-fived the assistants around him to celebrate, he saw Mourinho walking over with his hands on his waist and an indignant look, so Ye Qiu greeted him with a smile, "Hey, how do you feel?" ”
Mourinho turned around and looked at the Tottenham Hotspur players on the pitch, "I didn't lose to you, I just lost to these players, they are too strong individually!" ”
Is that a reason? Maybe!
Ye Qiu accepted such self-comfort and justification, and smiled, "You know what? You give me the feeling that you have always lived in the same environment as when you first debuted, and you don't want to make progress," after a deliberate pause, seeing that Mourinho was a little annoyed, he added with a smile: "Of course, compared to those rookies, you did a great job, as if you were an old rookie." ”
Mourinho wanted to be angry, but he couldn't, and in the end he could only smile bitterly.
In fact, he understands Ye Qiu's meaning very well, because almost all professional coaches' first steps are often achieved in very embarrassing circumstances, such as Mourinho, although the first stop of his career was Portuguese Super League giants Benfica, but the first step he really took in his career was in Leiria.
At that time, Leiria did not have any rich resources, just a middle and lower level team that was squeezed by the giants, and even the selection of a manager had to be affected by all parties, what kind of resources Mourinho could get in such a team, it is conceivable, and he was a rookie at the time, where could he get much support?
But in such a team, Mourinho won the honor by relying on his very realistic, but goal-oriented, not process-oriented coaching style, and it was during that period of time that he was soberly aware that although such tactics could not play the offensive football that fans liked, they could bring very stable results to the team.
When he arrived in Porto, Mourinho felt more pressure to coach, especially from president Da Costa, so he continued to stick to the same tactics and philosophy he had at Leiria, knowing full well that he didn't want to lose and couldn't afford to lose.
From Leiria to Porto to Chelsea to Inter Milan, Mourinho has always adhered to his own set of tactical concepts, but this does not mean that he is not enterprising, he has always tried to find more abundant offensive means in the limited offensive resources, create better offensive effects to please the fans, and achieve a double harvest of results and processes.
But sometimes the world is very realistic, how much you give, how much you can gain.
When you are stingy in attacking in order to ensure the stability of the defense, then no matter how much you play, you will not be able to play the desired effect.
In fact, when he was at Inter Milan, Mourinho had already played different tricks in attack, otherwise, Italy's tactical environment, if you remain the same, you will not need a few games to be restrained by others.
It's just that everything is the same, with the minimum investment, the simplest and most effective attack, in exchange for the biggest gain, Mourinho has never been able to get rid of this crux, which can be said to be his biggest bottleneck so far.
"Hearing you say that, I think you're complimenting me, do you want to thank you?" Mourinho's-for-tat rhetorical question.
Ye Qiu shook his head, "No, I'm not praising you, it's just that I don't understand a little, do you really think that you still have so much pressure that you need to keep proving yourself?" ”
Mourinho felt it at this time, Ye Qiu's words actually revealed some sincerity, not falling into the ground, or being cynical, in fact, after so many years, some of his complaints against Ye Qiu have faded, and he has also learned a lot of things from Ye Qiu, at least this person is worthy of deep friendship.
Everyone has a different personality, and even in the same environment, different personalities will cause everyone to have different judgments, not to mention that everyone's environment is fundamentally different, at least Ye Qiu has enough qualifications and chips to say, I don't care about the result, and I don't need to prove anything to anyone.
That's because he succeeded, and very successfully!
"When I get more Champions League trophies than you, I'll feel like I don't need to prove myself!"
Mourinho's words made Ye Qiu almost fall headlong, "Please, you have no hope in this life!" ”
"We'll see!" Mourinho pointed at Ye Qiu very provocatively and said.
Watching the Portuguese walk away, Ye Qiu also shook his head and smiled bitterly, this Mourinho is very stubborn, very persistent, he will not hesitate to do one thing, and insist on doing it.
Sometimes Ye Qiu feels that Mourinho and Guardiola are very similar, both of them are crazy and want to strangle all risks in the cradle, the difference is that they stifle risks in different ways, Mourinho is more unflattering and chooses the defense that many fans look down on, while Guardiola chooses the ball that looks more rich and handsome.
But that's all, deep in their bones, the essence is the same.
Ye Qiu can understand, in fact, both of them want to transform, and they both know that they have to try to change, because sooner or later their set will be clearly understood by their opponents, if they can't play new tricks at that time, then it is a pity that they will soon become a stepping stone for a new round of famous marshals.
As the saying goes, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach, which is the truth.
When Van Gaal left Ajax, how beautiful, how majestic, and even in the early days of his tenure at Bayern Munich, what a hero, but the result? And after that? What now?
For being in the tide of professional football, if you don't want to die on the beach, then you have to be a tide maker who will always chase the limelight, but even so, there is no guarantee that you will not die, and always chase the limelight, which seems majestic and heroic, but it contains amazing dedication, and huge pressure that outsiders cannot understand.
Just like Ye Qiu once said, fast players will always rely on speed unconsciously, and players with good body will always rely on their bodies, the same reason, as a head coach, when you are familiar with defense, you will not unconsciously use defense, when you understand ball control, you will take a ball-controlled style of play, which is a kind of people's subconscious.
Sometimes reality will make you make choices that you know are wrong, but you still have to make.

Tottenham Hotspur beat Chelsea from the UEFA Super Cup, won the local derby and claimed their second trophy of the new season, which also gave the north London side a lot of praise from the media around the world.
But after the end of the day, it was just a European Super Cup, and after the media praised and the fans celebrated, more people turned their attention to the scene of the Football Economic Forum at the Zhenhua Hotel, because the entire Premier League has set off a crazy wave of transfers in the last three days.
Everyone knows that with the signing of the 20 Premier League teams to the Wage Limit clause, the UK Labour Department and the Players' Union have also accepted the proposal from the Premier League, which proves that there is no resistance to the Wage Limit clause and will be implemented from next season.
Therefore, many teams that obviously do not meet the salary limit and debt limit clause at present have begun to prepare to adjust the team's lineup, especially for many teams including Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, etc., and even start a round of cleaning of substitutes and bench players, reduce the salary pressure of the team, and reduce the debt in the new season.
Among them, Manchester City's purge is the craziest, De Jong, Adam? Johnson, Adebayo, Santa Cruz, Hargreaves and other substitutes have all been purged, and this round of purge has also fattened the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, such as Adam? Johnson, the player who made a great contribution to Manchester City last season and performed quite well, but the transfer to Sunderland is worth 10 million pounds, which is very good value for money.
And like De Jong, who came to Manchester City at a high price of nearly 20 million euros, and now sells to West Ham United for only 5 million euros, West Ham United's Ranieri smiled from ear to ear, and De Jong replaced the aging Mohammed? After Diarra, West Ham United's three midfielders Tulalang, Moutinho and De Jong's combination is also very fierce.
Combined with the attacking combination of Carlos Tevez, Angel Di Maria, Falcao, Jovetic, Samuel Eto'o and Carroll, West Ham have a very strong squad for the new season, and Ranieri's ambitions are not just to finish in the top four, but to go one step further and at least fight for a higher position.
And Manchester City, after purging a number of substitutes and bench players, brought in several high-level signings in one go on the last day of the summer transfer, namely the former Real Madrid midfielder Xavi from Benfica for 16 million pounds? Garcia, who brought in Sinclair from Swansea for £8 million and Rodwell from Everton for £15 million.
However, the biggest signing came to Ajax, with 20 million euros and the introduction of Ajax's main central defender, 25-year-old Belgian Vertonghen, hoping that the latter's arrival could help Manchester City further strengthen their defence.
Ajax are also the most popular team in the summer transfer market, and two major transfers came on the final day of the transfer market, namely the sale of main centre-back Vertonghen and the sale of the team's number one star Brazilian striker Hulk, who moved to Chelsea for a whopping 50 million euros.
With two transfers of 70 million euros, Ajax surprised everyone in terms of selling players, but what many people don't know is that Hulk's transfer fee to Chelsea actually went into Tottenham Hotspur's pocket, and Ye Qiu used all the 50 million euros for the upcoming renovation of the new stadium.
Tottenham Hotspur's scouting system has also been back in action this summer, bringing in a number of outstanding young academy players, including 18-year-old Brazilian centre-back Marquinhos on loan at Ajax, 19-year-old Argentine defender Barranta and 20-year-old midfielder Marcus from Norway's Rosenborg. Henriksen.
All three players were paid between one million and two million for a fee, and Tottenham's scouting system decided to bring them in and then loaned them out to Ajax, after all, they couldn't play at Tottenham Hotspur for their age.
And by Peter? De Visser, on the other hand, is a Colombian attacker, the nineteen-year-old Quintero.
Peter? De Visel has a very high opinion of the youngster, who thinks Quintero is very delicate at his feet, very precise in passing, very creative at the same time, and has excellent vision and overall vision on the field, and belongs to the kind of typical South American number 10 player, who is quite good with and without the ball.
Standing just one metre six or seven tall, this short player is so good at the way he takes the ball, dribbles and passes in a small area that he is considered to have every chance of becoming another top star if he is well trained, and he also has a pretty good left-footed free-kick technique.
This player can't get a labor certification at Tottenham Hotspur, and with the star-studded squad at the moment, it's hard for Quintero to get a chance, so Peter? De Visser intends to send him to Ajax to replace Hulk's place after his departure, while Ajax's De Boer has also promised to give him more opportunities after looking at the player's profile.
In addition to these four players, Tottenham Hotspur also brought in sixteen-year-old Allen from Dinamo Zagreb, Croatia. Halilovic, a rookie who has not yet made any league appearances in Croatia, is also a young player that Tottenham Hotspur is very optimistic about, and is seen as a reserve for the future.
But the introduction of Aaron? After Halilovic, Tottenham Hotspur will continue to place him at Dinamo Zagreb, and are ready to wait until he is more mature, his technical characteristics are more stable, and his strength has reached a certain level, before switching to Tottenham Hotspur.
And Tottenham Hotspur has also reached a comprehensive cooperation agreement with Dinamo Zagreb, which has cultivated famous names such as Boban and Prosineski, Modric, Coluka, Eduardo? Established stars such as Da Silva, as well as well-known youth clubs such as Kovacic and Jedevic, are also looking forward to working with Tottenham Hotspur.
Everyone knows that Tottenham Hotspur has the most advanced scouting system in the world, as well as the best youth system, but the most influential region of this team is currently in South America, where they are able to find a large number of outstanding young players from South America every year, but Tottenham Hotspur's next focus is Eastern Europe.
Therefore, reaching a cooperation with Tottenham Hotspur and using the power of Tottenham Hotspur to become a transit point for Eastern European stars has become a kind of positioning for Dinamo Zagreb, and if it can be supported by Tottenham Hotspur's strong software, hardware and technical capabilities, it is naturally ideal.
To be honest, for a Croatian team with a youth training budget of only one million euros a year, Tottenham Hotspur is undoubtedly equivalent to a big amount of money.
After signing Dinamo Zagreb, Tottenham Hotspur have sent 17-year-old Jedevic on loan to Dinamo Zagreb, hoping that the young, highly skilled centre-back will be able to gain more experience in Croatia, and Tottenham Hotspur's scouts will continue to follow and help these young players on loan.
After several years of rapid development lag, Tottenham Hotspur's youth training model has begun to be the same as other giant teams, that is, to adopt a wide net type of youth training, after all, it is impossible for every academy player to play in the first team of Tottenham Hotspur.
For example, Ye Qiu is very optimistic about Nick, known as Pirlo II? Powell, after Southampton intended to strengthen the reinforcement this season, immediately sent a loan application to Ye Qiu, and Ye Qiu considered, Nick? Powell struggled to gain more games in Tottenham Hotspur's squad, so he went on loan to Southampton.
And Will? Hughes, this player was also loaned to Southampton by Ye Qiu, the purpose is the same, is to accumulate more experience, if you add Nick? Powell, Chambers, Lucas? Moura and Philippe Coutinho, Southampton have five loan players from Tottenham Hotspur, and the close relationship between the two teams is well known.
Tottenham Hotspur's approach is understandable, and the current first-team team is full of talent, including Vidal, Ramsey, Pogba, Phil? Young stars such as Jones, Alex Sandro and Christian Eriksen who have proven themselves to be good and have excelled, and veterans like Andrea Pirlo at the top of the team, will struggle to get promoted to the first team.
In this case, it is better to simply go out on loan, accumulate more experience outside, and after the quality improves, there is a chance to return to Tottenham Hotspur.
However, Tottenham Hotspur's loan is not a casual loan, it is targeted, first of all, to ensure that the team's style is in line with the development trend of the player, and the other is that the player can get more opportunities to play when he arrives in the new team, and only when these two purposes are achieved, Tottenham Hotspur will consider a loan.
As for the likes of Neymar and Luke? Shaw, Pogba, Varane, Nastasic and other players who have gained a foothold in the first team and performed well, Ye Qiu is inclined to stay in the team, after all, Tottenham Hotspur fights on multiple fronts and has many opportunities to play, as for talent reserves, Tottenham Hotspur does not have to worry.
With two Talent Days each season, Tottenham Hotspur's academy is no less competitive than the first team.
On this summer's Talent Day, Tottenham Hotspur selected a man named Sack? Gilsenan's nine-year-old boy, who has dual Irish and Australian citizenship and previously lived in Australia, accepted an invitation to participate in the Talent Day event, and stood out from 400 children under the age of 10 to be one of the finalists. De Visser gave the highest praise in the audience, genius!
Sometimes, the world of football is so cruel, not every genius can eventually become a genius, and as a football club, if Tottenham Hotspur wants to stand in the ranks of giants forever, it has to adopt this kind of casting net youth training like other giants, so as to better balance the relationship between youth training and results.
Therefore, sometimes, the youth training of a wealthy family is like making a wedding dress for others.
