Chapter 392
Full Moon Scimitar Reappears in Premier League
King David captures Anfield Stadium in a wonderful arc
Tottenham finally finds his dream man, Beckham's perfect debut is impressive
The next day, major mainstream media in Europe reported that Tottenham Hotspur had 0 away games to capture Anfield Stadium. He gave a very high evaluation of Beckham, who was a substitute in the game, performed very well and could even be said to have completely determined the game trend.
As a superstar in England, Beckham's every move has attracted much attention. In the past six months, he was not valued by Capello in Real Madrid. In addition, the issue of renewal with the team has been constantly arguing, which makes many people feel that Beckham's career has begun to decline, and many British media have even begun to find a successor for Beckham.
Who can become England's next football flag after Beckham has been put on the media's agenda.
In many ways, players such as Rooney, Gerard, Lampard seem to have such abilities, but the problem is that they lack the most important thing about Beckham, that is, the attention of media around the world
This has also caused many fans to secretly criticize him, believing that Beckham is a superstar hyped by the media. Many people even compared him with his teammates Giggs and Scholes when he was at Manchester United, and believed that the two most popular among the four Manchester United Golden Miles did not stay at Manchester United, while the two most low-key ones remained.
"Pure Football Victory" This is a lot of media comments on Beckham and Roy Keane, as well as Giggs and Scholes. They believe that Ferguson left these two players because he was low-key and focused on football, while the other two were too high-profile outside football. Beckham was high-profile in the media and Roy Keane was high-profile in personal influence.
But this time, Beckham returned to the Premier League. Whether it was him or Tottenham, he characterized this return to the Premier League from beginning to end as a journey to prove his own. Among them, the Guardian got an opportunity to interview Beckham on the morning of the day when Tottenham played against Liverpool.
This time, the Guardian asked in depth about why Beckham left Real Madrid, the conflicts between him and Capello in the past six months, and why he chose Tottenham Hotspur, and conducted very in-depth exchanges and research, and then specially created a series of topics for Beckham in their newspapers.
Retrace the superstar path
In Tottenham Hotspur beat Liverpool 0 away, the Guardian made the first report on [Retrace the Superstar Road] early the next morning. In this report, in addition to the detailed content of Beckham's interview, he also focused on Beckham's performance in this game.
"Although he only played in the last twenty minutes of the game, he completely reversed the trend of the game. After he came on the court, Tottenham Hotspur's midfield became more stable and threatening. His running was as diligent as ever, but his long pass completely dominated the game."
"If the first long pass is more or less because he has never practiced with his teammates before, then the second long pass is full of threats, forcing Liverpool right back Finnan to choose to foul under his last resort, and got Tottenham Hotspur a set-piece opportunity in the frontcourt."
"After the game, our reporter interviewed the goal-scoring hero Thiago Silva. The Brazilian central defender told reporters that before taking the free kick, Beckham told them privately that the landing point of the ball would be at the front of the small penalty area and would be very low, so it was finally decided that Thiago Silva would come to grab the ball."
"Thiago Silva gave a very high evaluation of the quality of Beckham's free kick. He even said that he did nothing and just pushed the ball to an angle. This must be a bit modest, but it can be seen that Beckham's free throw is indeed very accurate."
"Although we only played for more than twenty minutes, we can see that Beckham's condition is still very good. He told reporters that even when Real Madrid failed to play, he still insisted on training every day, even during Christmas, he never stopped because he knew very well that he was 31 years old and had to work harder than young people."
"From his words and phrases interviewed by reporters, we can all feel that Beckham's hope for returning to the Premier League this time is to return to the English national team. He hopes that McLaren can understand his current state and strength, and he firmly believes that he can continue to play for the English national team and make contributions."
"During the interview, Beckham had a sentence that moved the reporter very much. He said that he hoped to return to the England national team and participate in the European Cup in UR Year. Even if he was just sitting on the bench, he was willing to do everything for this place. He also told the reporter that this time he returned to the Premier League, he would not accept too many interviews from reporters. He hoped to focus more on football. He hoped that in his few careers in the future, all fans would remember that he is a professional player and he hoped that everyone's memories of him in the future will be his performance on the football field."
"Ye Qiu said that most people underestimate the value of Beckham. He even believes that what McLaren's England needs most is Beckham, who is excluded by him, because to a certain extent, England has been the team that Beckham has maintained and supported for a long time in the past."
"It is difficult for us to tell whether Ye Qiu's words were suspected of adding points to Beckham, but we have to admit that since McLaren took office, excluding Beckham from the national team's roster, the strength of the England national team has declined a lot. Although there were 0 wins against Andorra, 0 draws Macedonia and 0 losses to Croatia. These have put us in a very embarrassing situation on the road to promotion to the European Cup."
"In these two games, we also exposed one problem, that is, the stars are gathering, but our offense is a mess. We completely lost the threat of offense, but instead exposed our problems on the defensive end. Does that mean that what Ye Qiu said is correct, because for a long time, our offense has been maintained by Beckham to some extent?"
"No one knows what McLaren is thinking. Maybe he has more than a hundred reasons to convince everyone. Maybe he hopes that the team should not rely too much on a certain player anymore, but England is now in a very embarrassing situation. For England at this moment, promotion is the most important thing."
“So, we need Beckham”
Not only the Guardian, but the Daily Telegraph also highly praised Beckham's performance in this game against Liverpool, believing that although it was only more than twenty minutes, Beckham showed his ability to decide the game.
The Times also called on McLaren to recall Beckham again, and Martin Samuel also highly praised Ye Qiu's vision of choosing Beckham in the column, believing that introducing Beckham from Real Madrid will not only attract a lot of attention for Tottenham Hotspur, but will also improve the team's combat effectiveness.
"Tottenham Hotspur's midfield is not lacking in powerful stars. Yaya Toure is both offensive and defensive, tall and strong, but his skills are very delicate. Fabregas has outstanding reading ability and overall view, and has fatal passes. Heddlestone and Lucas are also very powerful and potential midfield rookies."
"But all along, Tottenham's midfield has given people a very unstable feeling, because Ye Qiu found that Mascherano is more of a drag-back defense. Although he has good ball-holding and passing skills, he has not made great contributions in the organization and offensive ends. Fabregas is an excellent core midfielder, but lacks experience and training. It takes a while for him to accumulate, improve his strength, and complete his transformation."
"Yaya Toure's performance is not stable enough. Although he runs very positively, has outstanding defensive ability, and has excellent ball and dribbling ability, many of his running cannot provide effective support to his teammates. The core characteristics of Fabregas' organization determine that he often needs to run out of the opponent's defensive area, which makes Tottenham Hotspur midfielder easily fall into a dilemma of being disconnected from the front and back courts."
"But in the last twenty minutes, with Beckham's appearance, we saw a very balanced, very orderly, and very attacking midfielder, that is, Fabregas is responsible for organizing and forwarding, while Beckham can go up and down, and can support his teammates forward. He can not only assist defense but also use accurate long passes to launch an attack."
"Liverpool also realized this, but they were caught in a bigger contradiction, that is, should they arrange personnel to specifically target Beckham? Benitez tried both options in the last twenty minutes, but the results were poor."
"When Beckham first came on the court, Benitez asked Mohammed Sissoko and other players to strictly observe the team's tactical order. When Beckham retreated, it was not pressing, but both long passes created a threat and helped Tottenham Hotspur score a goal. Benitez realized the problem and adopted a pressing tactic."
"But when Liverpool adopted a pressing tactic, Fabregas pushed up and took advantage of the gap that Mohamed Sissoko was pulled open by Beckham, and then got the ball and passed it straight. Fanny got the ball in the penalty area and shot the second goal, causing Liverpool's tactics also failed."
"This is definitely not an accident. I believe that Ye Qiu was rumored in September to introduce a midfielder for Tottenham during the winter break. At that time, he had initially set his target on Beckham. After several months, he had figured out a midfield structure that would allow Beckham to integrate into the team."
"Maybe, it's a bit unfair to say this, but I still have to say that Ye Qiu understands Beckham's value better than McLaren. At least he is very clear about the technical and tactical characteristics of this English idol, and can also reasonably arrange tactics to exert Beckham's strength and level."
"Similarly, he is more skilled than Mourinho. At least when Mourinho felt helpless in the face of Shevchenko, Ye Qiu successfully saved Beckham."
"Of course, this is just the beginning, but we clearly see Beckham's future at Tottenham Hotspur."
"He said that this time he returned to the Premier League is to prove his value on the football field, and I personally look forward to it."
"Ye Qiu said that getting Beckham will make Tottenham's goal of entering the top four this season more confidently, and will also allow Tottenham to truly have the strength and chips to compete with the top Premier League teams.
"I believe that after watching Tottenham Hotspur's last twenty minutes at Anfield, no one would doubt Ye Qiu's words, because that was definitely the top level in the Premier League, even if he only appeared for more than twenty minutes."
The media around the world generally paid great attention and publicity for Beckham's outstanding performance in this game against Liverpool, but Tottenham itself has adopted a relatively low-key approach.
This is Robert Milson's complete plan. Tottenham should not participate too actively and high-profilely, because this may cause counterproductive effects. Therefore, the best way is to adopt a more reserved approach, keeping a certain distance from the media, contact and interacting, but not being too close to each other. After all, the combination of Ye Qiu and Beckham itself is close enough to the media. If the club takes measures, the effect will be bad.
Of course, Ye Qiu left all the right to Robert Milson to take charge of how to grasp the standards.
After playing Liverpool, Tottenham ushered in its first FA Cup game of the season, with opponents from Cardiff, who came from the English Championship, and Tottenham went to play this game away.
Ye Qiu arranged for a mixed appearance between the main players and the substitute lineup in this game, while Beckham was still placed on the bench.
Although he participated in the team's joint training after playing Liverpool, Ye Qiu still felt that if he wanted to integrate into the team, he still had to take it step by step, so he was still arranged to be substitute in this game.
As a result, in the first half, the goals of Van Persie, Cavani and Yaya Toure helped Tottenham defeat his opponent 3-0. In the second half, Ye Qiu replaced Beckham in the midfield, but because he already led the big score, Tottenham's offensive was not as good as in the first half, and Beckham failed to show a decisive role.
But he still performed well in the few performance opportunities. In one corner, he accurately found Michael Dawson, but Michael Dawson's header was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, Van Persie picked up a bargain in front of the goal, and won another goal, 40
In this way, Tottenham defeated Cardiff 40 away and successfully advanced from the third round of the FA Cup. But interestingly, the opponent in the fourth round was Southend.
When he learned that the lottery opponent was Southend again, Ye Qiu had a secret smile of joy, but he really didn't know what reaction he should have. Could it be that he was too destined to be with this team?
After surviving the intensive Christmas schedule and playing the FA Cup, many Premier League teams can get rest, such as Manchester United and Liverpool. They do not have the League Cup game tasks and can rest well, but Tottenham Hotspur must usher in a North London derby.
After finally reaching the semi-finals of the League Cup, neither Tottenham nor Arsenal will give up easily.
Relatively speaking, the game between Chelsea and Vicombe is not very suspenseful. The Blues can still kill Vicombe even with a lot of substitutes. Therefore, the only suspenseful thing in the semi-finals of the League Cup is the game between Tottenham and Arsenal.
The first few rounds of the League Cup were all single-round knockouts, but in the semi-finals, there were two rounds of knockouts. The first game was at the Emirates Stadium, which was a disaster for Tottenham Hotspur.
In the 16th round of the Premier League this season, Tottenham Hotspur lost 0 away by Arsenal and lost to the Emirates Stadium. After the game, Tottenham Hotspur fans surrounded the team's bus to protest. This incident is well known to everyone. Now the two teams meet again after a month, which is related to the semi-finals of the League Cup. It is of great favour and disgrace, and no one is willing to admit defeat.
Wenger still ranked Arsenal's traditional 44 tactics in this game. The goalkeeper was Amunia, the defense was Krish, Galas, Toure and Ebue, the midfield was Rosici, Arteta, Gilberto Silva and Heleb, and the double strikers were Henry and Baptista.
Baptista was sublease from Real Madrid this season. Arsenal used Reyes to exchange with Real Madrid, but the Brazilian Beast did not get out of the shadow of the Real Madrid era after joining Arsenal. It was just that in this game, Wenger used Baptista to rotate Adebayo to start.
Five former players from Ye Qiu appeared in the starting lineup of Galas, Toure, Arteta, Gilberto Silva, Hleb and Wenger, which also made the pre-match atmosphere of this game look a bit strange.
But Ye Qiu kept saying at the pre-match press conference that Tottenham Hotspur needed a victory against Arsenal.
"If we were at the lowest point of this season, it must be when we walked out of the Emirates Stadium. The game a month ago was not only the fans were dissatisfied, the players were dissatisfied, and I, the head coach, were also very, very dissatisfied."
"Although that game has been a month, I still remember that we still remember that we didn't have the strength to beat Arsenal, on the contrary, we have the strength to beat Arsenal."
"We fell at Emirates Stadium, so we have to stand up again at Emirates Stadium."
"I hope the team can use a victory to end the embarrassing record of not winning against Arsenal over the past years in the North London derby tomorrow. I hope the team can use a victory to announce the return of Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium."
"We beat Liverpool at Anfield Stadium, tomorrow we will beat Arsenal at Emirates Stadium"
