Ye Qiu has always believed in one sentence, everything in this world is not perfect.

Therefore, in football, he also firmly believes in the principle that there is no undefeated team, no undefeated tactics, and no one can guarantee that they will be able to win a game.

Some people may say, then you made a bet with Porto manager Jezualdo Ferreira to play 10 games?

In fact, it was a kind of psychological warfare, or to put it a little cheesy, Ye Qiu was bluffing him, as for what if he really agreed? That was after the incident, if it didn't happen, there was no need for Ye Qiu to think about it.

And when looking at a game, Ye Qiu always felt that he should focus on the big and let go of the small.

The so-called grasping the big and letting go of the small does not mean that you only pay attention to the overall situation, and do not pay attention to the details, that is wrong, because the overall situation is important, but the details also determine the success or failure of a game, and Ye Qiu's grasping the big and letting go of the small is that you can't completely control a game, just like you can never get the possession rate on the RU, and it is difficult to even reach 75.

And as long as the opponent has time on the ball, he has the ability to potentially create something that catches you off guard

The big and the small means that you never want to be in control, but just the point, which is what you want to achieve in this game.

It's like playing Barcelona, in Ye Qiu's view, the core purpose of Tottenham Hotspur is to get the right to advance.

And an important weapon if you want to get the right to qualify, is to score away goals.

As long as there is one away goal, Tottenham Hotspur's total number of goals is three, and according to the principle of away goals, Barcelona must score four goals, then the reason is very simple, there is no need to care about whether Barcelona can score goals, and there is no need to think about whether Barcelona can score two, or three, as long as there are no more than three.

Tottenham Hotspur only needed one goal to make Barcelona's goal a complete joke

After grasping this key point, it is not difficult to understand that after scoring for Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur did not look like much had changed, Ye Qiu just walked to the sidelines and made slight adjustments to further strengthen the team's defense, nothing more.

Conservative? Maybe it's a bit conservative, but Ye Qiu knows very well in his heart that playing against Barcelona at Camp Nou, especially in an environment like the current one, Barcelona has obviously been cornered, and you go up to fight with him at this time, isn't this tantamount to giving up your own advantages and using your weaknesses to hit the opponent's gun?

So for Ye Qiu, this is definitely not a smart approach, and in recent times, Tottenham Hotspur's state is indeed not good, such a dense schedule, strong opponents are one after another, it is strange that the state can be good.

If Tottenham can be made to play one game a week like Chelsea, then he can guarantee that Tottenham Hotspur are strong enough to defeat any opponent, but in this dense and brutal schedule, he can only opt for more practical tactics.

After adjustments, Tottenham Hotspur stabilized their position, although the score was still behind, but the players did not seem arrogant or impatient on the field, because Ye Qiu had already told them before the game that the opening of this game would be difficult to play, and it was even possible to concede the goal first, but everything was controlled by Ye Qiu's hands.

After the goal, Barcelona continued to launch a wild attack, especially the pressing investment in the midfield, after all, Barcelona also tasted the sweetness in this tactical play after the opening.

But we must know that everything in this world has two sides, even many sides, and it is never possible to have only a good side and no bad side.

So, what are the downsides of Barcelona's tactical approach? Physical exertion

Ye Qiu waited for such an old god, and even asked the team to give up the direct hard fight with Barcelona, but to avoid its sharp edge, because he knew very well that the physical consumption was not good for Tottenham Hotspur, but should avoid the real and the virtual, save the strength, and wait for the opportunity.

That is, when Barcelona's physical consumption reaches a certain level and is a little unbearable, he will be caught off guard again.

Because no team can sustain a long time in such a fast-paced and high-pitched game, it's like no one can do this kind of fast back-and-forth speed run for a long time, not even a professional athlete, because people have limits.

After Barcelona's goal, Tottenham Hotspur organized the defense in an orderly manner, and did not seem to have too strong a desire to counterattack, occasionally playing a few counterattacks, but they did not achieve good results, and even the commentators of the game began to feel that Tottenham Hotspur's fighting spirit in this game was a little strange.

And to know the road, Barcelona's possession rate in the first half was even higher. This is very rare for Tottenham Hotspur, who have always had good possession and like to hold the initiative firmly, but everyone has noticed that with Tottenham Hotspur's defence solid, Barcelona's attack has been curbed to some extent.

As the minutes ticked by, the scoreboard at the Camp Nou jumped into the thirty-five minutes.

Ye Qiu has been standing on the sidelines since the beginning of the game, he has been communicating and communicating with the players in his own way, and at the same time observing the situation, and evaluating the situation from various perspectives such as data based on player feedback, his own observations, and Roland behind him.

Thirty-five minutes into the game, Barcelona were clearly slowing down, pressing a little weaker, and some players were starting to get a little lazy, which is characteristic of a certain level of physical exertion.

Ye Qiu began to signal the team to try to press up, dragging Barcelona down, and not letting the home team have a chance to relax and breathe.

As a result, Tottenham Hotspur began to actively invest in the rhythm of the game and the competition for the ball, which forced Barcelona to continue to insist on fast-paced and high-consumption contention, which is also part of Ye Qiu's tactics.

Then he stood on the sidelines and waited.

Starting from 35 points, Tottenham Hotspur began to consciously play an offensive and counterattack, of which in the 36th minute, David Silva kicked the ball through, Ribery moved between Puyol and Pique, got the ball and started quickly, rushed into the Barcelona penalty area, but when the cross was crossed, the ball was picked by the hand of Valdés, who was flying out, Cavani in the back row could not reach the ball, and Messi on the right was blocked by Abidal, and finally missed a very good scoring opportunity.

Perhaps sensing the improvement of Tottenham's attack, Barcelona began to want to return the color again.

The two sides continued this fast-paced, high-frequency exchange of possession, and the game was intense and fast-paced

Until the 42nd minute, Barcelona's Xavi made a long pass over the top and wanted to find Van Persie in the penalty area, but Ziglinski firmly grabbed ahead of Van Persie, and his header brought Xavi's pass down, stopped in front of him, and then quickly chased after it, and passed diagonally to the left.

Marcelo turned his back to the left touchline, stopped Ziglinski's pass with his left foot, and then started quickly, quickly crossed the halfway line and entered the Barcelona half, and then passed the ball to Ribery, who himself rushed forward quickly to catch up with Ribery.

This is also the usual method of Tottenham Hotspur's side attack, as soon as Marcelo goes up, Alves's side will basically not go up, plus Yaya Toure is in charge of the midfield, so Marcelo went up very resolutely and decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

Ribery took the ball on the left flank, facing Puyol, he controlled the ball with his right foot, left shoulder to Puyol, dribbled horizontally, a little slow at first, because he was waiting for Marcelo, and all the Tottenham Hotspur players were rushing towards Barcelona's penalty area at a fast pace, especially Cavani and Messi, and Cesc Fabregas, who was very capable of scoring in the back.

Everyone realised that Ribery was waiting, waiting for his teammates to be in place.

And Barcelona's defense is also preparing for the big enemy, especially the experienced Puyol, who is even more careful to follow Ribery, he has to guard against the French's sudden kicking anytime and anywhere, you must know that the front of the big penalty area, for the current scorers, it is almost not a long range, it is directly their effective range, and it is not good to prevent it.

Although the whole process seems long, it is actually what happened in the sprint time of Marcelo from about 30 meters to about 16 meters at the front of the penalty area.

Ribery was also observing his teammates, and after he slowly took two steps to the top of the arc, he suddenly knocked back with a heel, and Marcelo, who sprinted behind Ribery, stepped forward with a big foot in the face of the incoming ball, not only rushing behind Puyol, but also stepping into the Barcelona penalty area.

In the face of this sudden change, Puyol gave up on Ribery for the first time and quickly chased after Marcelo, he had already noticed this Brazilian kid who was inserted quickly, but Marcelo was a head-on impact, very fast, Puyol turned and caught up again, able to stop Marcelo from cutting in, but unable to stop him from crossing.

Marcelo took a low flat cross, fast, with a strong spin, and Barcelona also reacted quickly, Mascherano blocked Cavani with his body, and kicked Marcelo's cross to the outside of the penalty area, directly blocking the cross, but because the ball had a strong spin, it was difficult to control, so the ball was not cleared far.

The first reaction was to see Ribery who was facing the goal just now, the Frenchman rushed up quickly, facing the ball that rolled out and was directly about to kick the goal, this place was only about twelve or thirteen meters away from the goal, so scared that Pique and Mascherano had to fly to block Ribery's shot.

But Ribery abruptly gave up on the shot and instead distributed the ball to the right side.

saw Messi appear in an unguarded place, facing Ribery's kick, and rubbing the instep of his left foot again.

As soon as the ball came out, Messi raised his arms high, he used his most sure shot, the instep, he didn't know how many times he had practiced such a shot, and the angle was also very good, the strength was just right, and the whole shot gave him a perfect feeling of feedback

The ball curved slightly, almost grazing the angle between the left post and the crossbar, burrowing into the goal and hitting the net.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL”

Ye Qiu, who was on the sidelines, jumped up in place with excitement, raised his arms and shouted, and then was hugged by the assistants behind him.

Messi even shook his fists in celebration in the stadium, rushed to the corner flagpole in one breath, and sat on the grass crisply, with a smiling expression, allowing his teammates behind him to catch up and hug him to the grass.

But the overall score expanded to 3

According to the principle of away goals, Barcelona must expand the aggregate score to 4, that is, 4:l in a single game, to eliminate Tottenham Hotspur, not a single goal

Look at Guardiola's expression, the Spaniard was so angry that he waved his arms vigorously on the sidelines, obviously scolding something, completely lacking the elegant temperament of his usual days, it was completely a feeling of being teased, because he found that not to mention scoring one goal just now, even if he scored two goals just now, it is useless now.

One away goal is worth two goals, and it almost makes Pep Guardiola despair, but also all the Barcelona players and fans who are desperate because they don't have enough confidence to score three more goals

And you have to know that even if you attack like crazy, even if you really can score three more goals, can you guarantee that Tottenham Hotspur will not score? Can you guarantee that Tottenham will be willing to play a defensive strategy when you score?

The answer is no, because from the time Ye Qiu chose David Silva to partner Fabregas and Yaya Toure in this game, all the signs have actually shown Ye Qiu's attitude for a long time, he wants to attack, but his attack is not a full-court rush similar to Barcelona's, he doesn't need to play like this, all he needs is a goal

It was undoubtedly a desperate goal

Messi, all Barcelona fans will not be unfamiliar with this name, because he comes from La Masia, where Barcelona fans are proud, but in 03, Barcelona gave him to Ye Qiu's Chelsea, and in the year after Ye Qiu left Chelsea, there were rumors that Messi and Cesc Fabregas wanted to return to Barcelona, but in the end it turned out that Barcelona's management rejected their request.

After Ye Qiu returned to the Premier League and bought Tottenham Hotspur, two players transferred to Chelsea, and played with surprising strength and quality, and in the past few years, Barcelona has been rumored to buy back these two players, but year after year, their value is getting higher and better, and the level is getting better and better, and it is becoming more and more difficult to buy back.

Just imagine, can Barcelona pay a transfer fee of 150 million euros like Manchester City and give Messi three times his current salary? The answer is no

After Ye Qiu finished celebrating with the coaching staff on the sidelines, he saw his right hand clenched into a fist and raised it high, which was a gesture that won the game.

Everyone saw him like this, saw his gesture, and knew very clearly, all this is in his plan, maybe he can't calculate whether he will score, whether he will concede goals, but he very clearly calculated the weakest part of Barcelona, that is, when the physical fitness caused by the attack.

In fact, if someone carefully analyzes the goals conceded by Barcelona in the past two years, it is not difficult to find that many of their goals conceded occurred in the last ten minutes of the first half, or after 65 minutes in the second half, and these periods of time are often when the physical consumption is about the same.

This is what Ye Qiu has always said, the benefits of high-intensity midfield pressing are very good, but the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the physical consumption is too serious and cannot maintain a high level of continuous performance throughout the game.

Therefore, this season's Tottenham Hotspur has gradually shrunk back in the midfield, and the three lines have been more compact and more closely linked, whether it is offensive or defensive, supporting each other, coordinating each other, and assisting each other more closely.

Under the call of Hungarian referee Viktor Kauszoi, the celebratory Tottenham Hotspur players returned to the field one after another, and from their faces, you can clearly see the strong confidence they are overflowing, because they clearly know that all this is still controlled by Tottenham Hotspur, in the hands of the manager standing on the sidelines.

That's strategy

And with the whistle of Viktor Kaushoi's re-kick-off, Barcelona's attack has clearly lost its sharpness, and Tottenham Hotspur's goal just now has dealt a very painful blow to them, and their morale has been greatly affected, because they themselves know very well that they need to score three more goals to be able to break through the Tottenham Hotspur goal.

What's next?

Offense? Or give up?

It's not just the players who are confused, but even manager Pep Guardiola is also confused, because he finds that whether he attacks or doesn't attack, it's all wrong and it won't be the right answer.

In other words, it will be a multiple-choice question that you can't choose any way wrong

But Tottenham Hotspur's choice is obviously much simpler, after Ye Qiu scored, he began to play more patiently, but his attitude was obviously much more positive than at the beginning, and he began to consciously compete with Barcelona for possession and game rhythm.

In the end, however, the first half ended with neither side being able to create any more chances on goal in the last few minutes.

And the Barcelona fans in the stands at the Camp Nou are obviously completely disappointed with the game, because they can't imagine that with the current morale of the team, with the current state of the team, they can score three goals for Tottenham Hotspur in the second half? Is there really any hope that the most miraculous miracle can be staged? Beating Tottenham Hotspur to reach the semi-finals?

Hope is undoubtedly a very beautiful thing, but sanity and sobriety can be painful because it will make you realize that this can be a hopelessness in the end
