Martin Samuel: The victory over Arsenal reflects tactical diversity, Chelsea wins in changes

Andy Gray commented on the peak battle: Chelsea reinterprets ball possession and speed

Eriksen wants to follow Chelsea's tactics: Ye Qiu's Blues will lead the English football revolution

The day after the game, major media in England and even Europe reported on the game, and even used various alarmist titles to attract readers' attention, including professionals' evaluations of this game.

Martin Samuel writes a column in the Premier League every day, and for a long time recently, the topic he talks about most is to analyze Chelsea's tactics and changes, and even analyzes the tactical adjustments and changes of Ye Qiu in every game.

But in the past, many non-Chelsea fans would doubt or even criticize his analysis and ideas, because they all felt that Martin Samuel's flattery of Chelsea and Ye Qiu was a bit too much, and the same was true for this time. Even though Eriksen and Andy Gray gave their own opinions respectively, which were similar to Martin Samuel, they still doubt the fairness of these comments.

In this case, the Times published another column from Eric Harrison.

"Even no matter how loyal Manchester United fans are, they may not have heard of this name, but from the moment you see this column, please remember him, Eric Harrison, a creator of the peak generation of Manchester United class who has worked in Old Trafford in recent years, is known as the founder of the FA's youth training丨coach training丨center."

The report also explains the plan of the FA. It was a plan born in 2001. At that time, the FA bought a piece of land of more than 4 square kilometers in the water town of Burton, the heart of England, to be used to build its own Clay Fontaine.

When this plan was announced, England was ambitious for the national team and youth team, but in the next two or three years, as the English national team failed to perform well, coupled with funding and other issues, the plan came to a halt.

But immediately afterwards, Eric Harrison and others changed their functions and began to run around England, using training classes to guide young people who are interested in serving as coaches in various parts of the country, hoping to cultivate more professional young coaches for English football.

Eric Harrison, who is not a professional insider or someone who is very familiar with Manchester United, may not know him. He is the real behind-the-scenes creator, because Eric Harrison was the director of Manchester United's youth training at that time, and he cultivated and carved the players of the class including Giggs, Scholes and Beckham.

Because of this, Eric Harrison has a great influence in the English football circle. This time he opened a special column, hoping to convey more football ideas that keep pace with the times through the media.

In this column, Eric Harrison first analyzes the difference between modern football and past football from the perspective of a coach. He mentioned a very obvious change, that is, the use of high-tech products.

"I still remember that in the past, our coaches said the most to players, go up and go as far as they can, run as far as they can, shovel as much as they can, and shoot as much as they want. I believe that this was the practice of all the head coaches at that time, because football was still relatively primitive at that time."

"But now, I heard that Ye Qiu took the lead in bringing his laptop to the stadium when he was in Ajax. He even arranged for a coach to use this laptop that is connected to the Internet at any time to get the information he wants from it at any time. He even directly connected to the OpTAR database, perhaps first-hand information and information."

"I also heard that Ye Qiu specially asked someone to write a set of software called tactical boards. From this set of software, he can input all the opponent's information and information into it, analyze and organize it through the software, and then analyze, estimate and summarize before and after the game.

"In the game, this set of software called tactical board can also combine external statistics anytime, anywhere to analyze the game situation of each player and opponent, such as the player's coverage area, activity range, performance, etc.."

"When Ronaldinho failed to cut in the left hand several times, Ye Qiu could find through the software that his opponent was targeted in this regard, so he could make targeted adjustments, just to let Ronaldinho go straight down the bottom, or to let Evra come forward to support him, the latter let Deco and Lampard go over to support him."

"It's time to replace people. Ye Qiu can use the analysis provided by this set of software and then combine his own judgment. He can tell his players very accurately where to perform what kind of tasks after going up. When I heard this news, my first reaction was that it was too meticulous and too targeted."

"Many people say that Ye Qiu is the most targeted head coach in the Premier League and even Europe. His opening attack tactics and targeted adaptability are second to none, but I think his personal abilities may not be the best, but after combining these high-tech products he developed and created, he is the best."

"I personally highly admire Ye Qiu's idea, that is, keep up with the times."

"Many head coaches will inevitably have a narrow mind of self-confidence. For example, Wenger, why does he have to hold 44 tightly and remain unchanged? Because he is afraid, afraid to break the team's pattern, and after losing stars including Vieira, Henry, Pire and other stars, Arsenal's performance will plummet. After all, he has no confidence in himself."

"Imagine that even a head coach has no confidence in himself, how can a player have confidence in you?"

"One of the things that I admire most about Sir Ferguson is that he bravely faces the challenge, from introducing Peron after the Triple Crown to letting Beckham go, although Manchester United seems to have many problems and incomplete problems, I always believe that in time, Ferguson's team will have the opportunity to compete with Europa again because he is Ferguson."

"For the same reason, I highly recommend Ye Qiu. One very important reason is that Ye Qiu is constantly changing and strengthening himself."

"As I said just now, modern football's tactics are becoming more and more targeted. If you don't change, then the one you are good at will be cracked by your opponent sooner or later. At that time, it is too late to change, and you take the initiative to change may bring risks, but opportunities and risks coexist.

"Many people say that Ferguson is too risky to lead to the downturn in Manchester United in the past two years, which is good, but everyone knows that Manchester United's downturn is not because of Ferguson, but because the team's operation in the transfer market is not good. If Ronaldinho, Rooney, Heinze and other players who performed well at Chelsea transfer to Manchester United, would Manchester United still be like this now?"

"There is no doubt that Ye Qiu is a very comprehensive head coach. He can not only hit and defeat opponents on the court, but also hit and weaken opponents in the transfer market. This is not only Abramovich provided him with money, but also because of his personal keen vision and judgment. I dare even say that he is the most accurate person among the head coaches I have ever seen. He once joked that he has come from the future. I really doubt that he is not joking."

"In addition, I think there is one thing in Ye Qiu's tactical philosophy that is worthy of all Premier League teams, all English teams and head coaches, that is, he has always emphasized the awareness of playing football."

"I once had a conversation with him. At that time, I went to London and visited the Cobham training base in Chelsea. I saw that they were all doing ball training, even a few young players who were training with the first team, and they were all within a small range, allowing the ball to skillfully pass and catch the ball while the players were running non-stop."

"What impressed me the most was that he always emphasized purpose. He had a very interesting requirement for the team, that is, whether it was passing, running, tackle, interception, or even foul, it must have its own purpose. In the words of the player's explanation to me, even if your decision was proven wrong in the aftermath, you must know why you did that, because you might be wrong this time, but the next time is right."

"If you know exactly why you do every move on the court, you're the best player."

"This is the most surprising thing Ye Qiu has ever said to me. When many Premier League head coaches complain about the poor technical skills of players, the excessive rigidity of English players, the savage Premier League style, etc., Ye Qiu emphasizes consciousness."

"He said that it is right to say that Premier League players have poor technical skills. Compared with mainland teams, Premier League players' skills are indeed not delicate enough, but it is enough to deal with professional leagues. Those who think they are not enough, or even complain about it, are because they are not smart enough."

"Suppose the same player chooses two different ways of receiving the ball, which will produce two completely different effects. The first is that he runs outside the control range of the opponent's players to catch the ball. Generally speaking, it takes about seconds to react and get close to the ball. If you want to make a defensive move, it takes longer. Unless it is difficult or the ability to stop the ball, the quality of a professional player is enough for you to stop the ball and then pass it out."

"This is what he said. As long as you have your own purpose, when you run over to catch the ball, you have already figured out how to get the ball. Then you don't need to hesitate at all, pass as soon as you stop, and don't waste time at all."

"There is another option, to run to the opponent's player to catch the ball, or to catch the ball aimlessly. The former is pressed by the opponent immediately as soon as he receives the ball. The first reaction is to protect the ball, and the ball path is paused; the problem with the latter is that it lacks purpose. After stopping the ball, you have to observe the surroundings and find the ball route and the contact point."

"In Ye Qiu's words, the first method of receiving the ball is a smart person. It is presented on the court that everyone has very good passing and receiving skills, and the stopping skills are very delicate and solid, while the latter is full of mistakes and misses. The basic skills of stopping the ball are very bad, and they are always struggling. But in fact, they are the same player, and their technical abilities and skills are the same."

"That is to say, what really determines how much technology and skills you can play on the court is not how solid your technical skills are, because for those who can become professional players, their basic skills have been tempered over more than ten years. There is no problem, but the problem is their consciousness."

"Even he said that even players with Zidane skills use the second way to play football, the team cannot play smoothly. On the contrary, they will always pause because they are in the wrong direction."

"Ye Qiu said that he is not very satisfied with the current Chelsea team, because there are many things that have not been done enough, and there is still a long way to go before his requirements. I can vaguely guess that because this Chelsea team has many veterans, and the veterans have developed their own thinking logic when playing football. Many times Ye Qiu can only choose to accommodate them."

"But Ye Qiu also said that the future of football tactics is creativity, and the creativity of a team depends on what methods the players of this team take to play football, and the way players take to play football depends on whether they know clearly what their purpose is on the court."

"This is a brainstorm. Many people praise Arsenal's football, but I think Chelsea's football is more worthy of praise, because Arsenal emphasizes the personal creativity of players, the creativity of Henry, Piret, Borgkamp and others, but Ye Qiu praises the creativity of the entire team."

"I am full of expectations for the future of Ye Qiu and Chelsea, because I can't wait to see what kind of football Ye Qiu wants to bring us. He said that he has touched the threshold, but it will take him time, from three to five years to more than ten years, but he will definitely continue to move towards this path."

"Finally, I congratulate Chelsea on returning to the top of the list. They are the most amazing teams in the Premier League and even European football in the past two years."

Compared with Martin Samuel's column, Eric Harrison's column obviously adds more powerful information. The length is not very long, but the amount of information is very considerable. It can even be said that many of the things contained in it will allow many head coaches who were originally confused to find a clear roadmap.

Although Eric Harrison has never coached alone, he has more than 550 games experience, as well as his 20-year experience in Manchester United coaching staff, and his coaching experience from Everton to the Wales national team in recent years, can be said to be very rich in coaching experience and his abilities cannot be underestimated.

At least Mark Hughes was able to lead Wales to almost make history and almost entered the European Cup finals. Eric Harrison, as the chief assistant coach, made a great contribution. This is a fact that everyone in the circle knows.

Now, saying such words from his mouth soon caused a huge response in England and even European football.

Football tactics are constantly moving forward, which is what everyone knows, but the problem is that if the flowers bloom too much, many people will inevitably fall into confusion, and most people do not have the desire to take the initiative to seek answers. They hope that someone can tell them what you should do.

Regarding this, Ye Qiu said in an interview with the media that this is definitely not the attitude a qualified head coach should have.

"I never want others to tell me how to do it. I will take the initiative to find answers, read books, watch games, research and analysis, which can help me get a lot of information because I think no one can tell you what to do."

"There are many conclusions left by our predecessors in the football circle, and many of them are even seen as laws. But I think it is unnecessary to overrepresent them. It is not because I do not respect them, but I respect them very much, but I think those only represent their views on something and problem."

"Now many people like to discuss Chelsea, but who has really understood Chelsea? Even my coaching staff and I dare not say that we know everything about Chelsea very well. How can others understand it? When they express their opinions, they just look at and think about this issue from their perspective."

"This will help us because maybe that angle is something we haven't thought about, so we highly welcome comments like this, but we won't trust too much, or even rely on comments like this, and we will always believe in our own judgment."

As for Eric Harrison's admiration for himself in the column, Ye Qiu shook his head and said that he was not as thoughtful or had such a great goal as he said.

"Actually, my starting point is because I am a fan, I like football, I like coaching, I like to work with my coaching staff and my players to create a football that will satisfy all fans and feel happy after watching it."

"As for what to say to lead the trend or think about the development of football tactics, I have never thought so."

"I reserve the right to pursue Eric Harrison without my consent to leak the topic of conversation between us." Ye Qiu made a joke about Eric Harrison at the end of the interview.

He continued with a smile in the shock of the reporter, "Unless he comes to London, he invites me a good meal."

"And I want to say, what he is doing now is very meaningful. I think whether it is the FA, the Premier League, or even all professional clubs in England should give strong support. Youth training is the future hope of a team, a league, or even a country football.

"I coach in the Premier League. Of course, I hope that English football is full of talents, and I also hope that English football level can get higher and higher. All of this requires the reform of English football youth training."

Regarding the rumors about Eric Harrison, he hoped to invite Ye Qiu to the FA Youth Training and Reform Group, Ye Qiu declined because he now focused all his energy on Chelsea. On the contrary, the FA is very interested in this. With the recommendation of Eric Harrison, he said that the possibility of inviting Ye Qiu as chief consultant is not ruled out.

But Ye Qiu did not respond to this because he soon ushered in the most intensive Christmas schedule.
