Chapter 635 Fifteen consecutive victories
"Mr. Ye Qiu, we all know, it was David Silva's personal flash at a critical moment, helping Tottenham Hotspur finally defeat Liverpool. How do you personally think of his assist and his performance in this game?"
After a fierce game, there seemed to be a strong sense of tension over the entire White Hart Lane Stadium, which caused all the reporters to look very excited at the post-match press conference because they had just been swaying like a shaking momentum that more than 30,000 fans shouted in unison.
It is difficult for people who have not experienced it to appreciate the shock or deterrence.
"A great performance, he used a magical breakthrough to help us win a precious victory, and also used his perfect performance to prove his top midfielder's strength. I am proud of him."
Ye Qiu's words were immediately applauded by many reporters present, but the applause was obviously not for Ye Qiu, but for David Silva, and everyone could clearly realize that the Spanish were going to be popular.
With Tottenham's star-making ability, he has never deliberately promoted David Silva in the past. On the one hand, after joining Tottenham Hotspur, David Silva, except for his first season, was often hidden under the stars of Messi, Ribery, Fabregas and others.
Moreover, Espanyol is very low-key and restrained. After the game, he rarely sees his shadow outside except at home and training base. Even his teammates use Twitter, WeChat and other means to contact friends and fans, but he rarely uses these things.
Despite this, thanks to the influence and attention of Tottenham Hotspur, a luxury battleship, and David Silva himself performed well, he was naturally included in the top midfielder.
But this time the situation was obviously different. David Silva's almost magical performance at the last critical moment not only saved the team, but also told everyone that he was definitely worthy of the title of top midfielder.
After such a high-intensity flash, if Tottenham's Commerce Department still doesn't know how to operate him, then Peter Nion should have packed it home and eaten himself.
"I have always said that David Silva is an excellent player. He has incredible creativity and excellent delicate skills. He has extremely high requirements for himself on the training ground. On the football field, he will help his teammates around him again and again, and he never complains no matter what arrangements and tasks I give him."
"I have said several times that he is an underrated player. He has excellent ball handling and running without the ball. He can also use his dribbling and breakthroughs to help his teammates and cause trouble for defenders. More importantly, he is a player with a strong team consciousness and a professional player that every head coach dreams of."
When talking about this, Ye Qiu smiled, "Maybe, many of you will be surprised by his performance today, thinking that his condition is too good today, but I want to correct your point of view. Today's David O Silva is the real David O Silva, and I also hope that he can maintain his performance today every day from now on, because this is his strength."
Ye Qiu is rare to give so many high praises to his players, and almost every evaluation is enough to be enough for David Silva to be the object of praise and praise for all fans and media tomorrow.
Benitez was immediately following Ye Qiu and was asked about David Silva in an interview with the media, and he also gave him a very high evaluation because he followed David Silva when he played for Valencia youth team.
"You know, I used to hope that he would come to Anfield because I knew he was a top midfielder, so before the game, my players were following Messi, Ribery, Cavani and Fabregas, but I told them to be careful David Silva, he was a terrible guy, and Villa emphasized that to me."
"But unfortunately, we were unable to limit David Silva in the end. His performance today was really great, with a very high passing accuracy, especially the handling of the ball in the frontcourt, which caused us a lot of trouble and broke the deadlock at the last moment. I think this is a demonstration of his strength level."
After defeating Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur has won fourteen consecutive games, which has caught up with Arsenal's winning streak at the beginning of the century. But more importantly, Ye Qiu has only two games away from Chelsea's Premier League record of 16 consecutive games.
Chelsea's 16-game winning streak was set by Ye Qiu when he led the team. This is not only the Premier League's winning streak, but also the winning streak of the four major European leagues. It has not been broken by anyone in the past many years. Now, Ye Qiu is leading another team, Tottenham Hotspur is going to challenge this record.
But one more interesting thing appears in the schedule. According to the Premier League schedule this season, Tottenham Hotspur's 17th round of the Premier League will face Ancelotti's Chelsea at home. If this game can be won, Tottenham Hotspur will tie Chelsea's 16-game winning streak.
Therefore, many Chelsea fans are now calling for Ancelotti's team to snipe Tottenham Hotspur with all their might and avoid this London arch-rival challenge to Chelsea's glorious record.
You should know that in the past few years, almost all of Chelsea's honors have been caught up or surpassed by Tottenham Hotspur, especially the Champions League arena that giants and fans attach the most importance to, so they must do their best to keep their pride in the remaining fields.
"Mr. Ye Qiu, many people think that Tottenham Hotspur is a challenge and breakthrough for your past self. How do you view this winning streak? At the same time, do you have enough confidence to break this record? Also, how do you evaluate the two Premier League teams you coached?" This is another question that the reporter threw to Ye Qiu.
"First of all, I will answer your first question," Ye Qiu said to the microphone with a smile. This relaxed attitude also made many reporters present laugh. "I rarely pay attention to so-called records, because I know one thing very clearly. The only purpose of creating records is to be broken one day, so I take these things very lightly."
"Secondly, as I said, I don't care about the record, but one thing I care about is how to do my best to help and lead my players to win every game continuously. This is the most important task for me as a professional head coach and the greatest trust of the players."
"Finally, I want to say that the Chelsea I have led is one of the strongest teams I have coached, but I am proud of the Tottenham Hotspur I am leading now, because this Tottenham Hotspur is a summary and comprehensive improvement of my coaching experience over the past years, and the success of this team is even more difficult."
"I can't judge which of the two teams is better, because they have never played together, and any evaluation is irresponsible, but if you ask me to choose which team I prefer, I will choose the current Tottenham Hotspur without hesitation because this team can play the football I want most."
All the reporters present received a burst of warm applause for Ye Qiu's answer.
After Tottenham defeated Liverpool away, the next day, almost all the media in the world caused a nearly overwhelming appreciation and hype for David Silva. Behind this, there was indeed a boost from Tottenham Hotspur's Ministry of Commerce, but more importantly, David Silva did save Tottenham Hotspur.
However, the team that performed the most outstandingly in this round was not Tottenham Hotspur or David Silva, but Manchester United and Benzema. The former beat Blackburn at home, while the French striker scored four goals with his head and feet, making a big four-game hit and became the best player in the 15th round of the Premier League.
Manchester United ushered in an outbreak, which is a matter of time sooner or later. Under Ferguson's training, and with partners like Tevez and Rooney on both sides, Benzema's performance has been rising and making continuous progress, which are all things Ye Qiu expected.
Arsenal, who had just experienced a slaughtered by his mortal enemy, also came out of a downturn, losing 4 away from Aston Villa. The Gunners now seem to be able to vent their vent on these mid- and lower-level teams.
West Ham United and Manchester City have also won their opponents one after another, but Chelsea drew with Newcastle away. The showdown between Drogba and Ibrahimovic two ace centers turned into a dull battle in the end, neither side showed their strength, and Chelsea's state in recent times is indeed worrying.
After the 15th round, the League Cup quarter-finals knockout round was ushered in the mid-week. Tottenham Hotspur hosted Wigan Athletics at home, and Ye Qiu also set up his team in the past with the Cup, and started with a young and substitute player to play this game.
But even so, Tottenham Hotspur still defeated Wigan Athletic 0 with the goals of Raul and Pogba.
After Raul joined Tottenham Hotspur, although he still played as a substitute in the league, his performance has changed significantly. He can score goals almost as soon as he goes on the court. This is also seen by many people as the magical part of Tottenham Hotspur's tactical system, that is, anyone who comes to this team seems to be able to achieve high goal efficiency.
On the contrary, those players who left this team, such as Van Persie who joined Barcelona, have not yet achieved the goal efficiency of Tottenham Hotspur when he was to date. Although his performance is also quite outstanding, there is also West Ham United's Falcao, Colombia's center is the number one scorer of the Hammers, but compared with the top scorer who was invincible and scored all the goals and efficiency of the giant teams last season, the number of goals and efficiency are indeed significantly lower.
On the contrary, Tottenham Hotspur has gone through so many top scorers, but the team's goal rate is still so good. Although Cavani's goal data is not as good as Falcao last season, he can also go hand in hand with top centers such as Ibrahimovic and Drogba, which has gradually won the recognition of Uruguayan centers by fans and the media.
As Ye Qiu once said, a player's outstanding performance is always inseparable from the role of the team. Without a reasonable and stable team behind it, no matter how strong or outstanding the player's strength is, it is difficult to achieve his peak level.
After the League Cup, Tottenham ushered in the 16th round of the Premier League and challenged Birmingham away.
The team Birmingham is very strange this season. Their current ranking is not bad. In the first dozen rounds of the season, they met strong teams including Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United. All of them were at home and all remained unbeaten, and even defeated Ancelotti, Chelsea, which made a fuss.
In addition, they performed quite well when they met teams such as Manchester City and West Ham United. Although they lost to Arsenal away, their performance was remarkable. However, when they met other teams, whether at home or away, their performance was not ideal. All the losses were basically lost to teams such as Blackburn, West Bromwich, Stoke City, and others, and the others were tied.
This 15th round of the league this season, Birmingham won three wins, eight draws and four losses. This report card is indeed not ideal for Birmingham, who won ninth in the Premier League last season, but if you consider the nature of a promotion last season, combined with Birmingham's investment this season, it is actually quite good.
Ye Qiu played away against Birmingham and sent all the main players to play. When formulating the team's tactics, Ye Qiu repeatedly emphasized that he had to take the initiative in the game from the beginning, and strive to break through Birmingham's goal from the beginning, because the reason why Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea performed poorly on the away game was that they did not play well enough after the game.
As it turns out, Ye Qiu's strategy is indeed correct.
Less than five minutes after the start of the game, Messi used Alves' assist to help Tottenham knock on the goal of Birmingham, taking the initiative in the game for Tottenham Hotspur.
Then Birmingham also showed his tenacious side. Facing Tottenham's attack, they adopted a defensive strategy at their home court, and their actions were a bit big when defending, which directly led to Tottenham's Fabregas being injured in the 23rd minute of the first half.
Ye Qiu quickly replaced Fabregas with Ramsey, Tottenham Hotspur quickly scored another goal, Cavani assisted Messi and scored the second goal of the game. Before the first half was about to end, Cavani's assist helped Ribery score again.
Entering the midfield with a 0 lead, left-back Marcelo was also violated and suffered some minor injuries. Ye Qiu decided to replace Marcelo for safety reasons and replaced young player Nastasic to play left-back.
The second half started again, Tottenham Hotspur still insisted on its first half offense, firmly taking the initiative, and launched wave after wave of attacks on Birmingham's goal from the beginning. Soon in the 51st minute, Ribery assisted Messi to win another goal, and the Argentine superstar staged a hat-trick, 40
Messi finally ushered in a big explosion this season, with incredible goal data, which is actually because Cavani kept running and pulling in front and blocking the pressure of defensive players, which has greatly improved the performance of Messi and Ribery this season, especially in the goals and assists data.
After a hat trick, Ye Qiu replaced Messi with Neymar and used up his three substitutions early in the 60th minute. Neymar, who was arranged to play on the left, received a diagonal pass assist from Alves, who got Ribery's wonderful pass from the right, and scored the last goal.
0 Tottenham beat Birmingham away and won 15 consecutive wins
As the league deepens, each team has also shown different trends. For example, Manchester United has performed well in recent form, winning consecutively, firmly grasping the second place in the league, and Liverpool has also performed very well. He defeated Aston Villa 0 in this round, and Benitez's team quietly won the league.
In addition, teams such as Manchester City, West Ham United and Newcastle have also performed very well, but Arsenal and Chelsea have performed very poorly recently. Arsenal's performance has rebounded after a nine-goal defeat and ushered in two consecutive victories, but Chelsea has been in great trouble recently.
In the past four rounds, Chelsea first lost to Sunderland at home 03, then lost to Birmingham away 0l, then tied Newcastle, and tied Everton at home in this round, and only scored two points in four rounds. This is really puzzling for the Blues, who are advancing all the way at the beginning of the season.
Ancelotti doesn't seem to have a good idea for the team's state, but the real death has just begun.
In the 17th round, the away game Tottenham Hotspur, the 18th round, the home game Manchester United, and the 19th round, the away game Arsenal. According to the Premier League schedule, the 19th round is the second day after Christmas, that is, December 26th. The next twenty and twenty rounds are only two or three days between each other, which is the Christmas Devil schedule.
Many people are even predicting that there will be a week off between the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth rounds. If these three rounds are not played well, Chelsea is likely to be directly out of the top four in the league, and even a huge decline in ranking will occur.
The reason may be that there may be internal power struggles, but Ye Qiu believes that it is also related to Ancelotti's season arrangement.
Before the start of the season, Ancelotti once said that in the face of a tenacious team like Tottenham and Manchester United, if Chelsea wants to win the championship, they must play in their own form from the beginning and get enough lead to hit the morale and fighting spirit of Tottenham and Manchester United. After these two strong opponents react, they can't catch up even if they want to.
This is indeed a championship strategy, but the problem is that the South African World Cup has a great impact on Chelsea. The players' condition has not been adjusted well and they have become in shape as soon as they come out. As a result, in November and December when it is time to be out, Chelsea fell into a slump.
The state of all professional players is in a curve, with ups and downs, which cannot be changed, and it depends on how you adjust it.
In contrast, Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu deliberately suppressed his early-season state to a more stable state, scored points stably, and maintained pressure. By October and November, his state came out and caught up directly and completed the reversal.
Chapter completed!
