Chapter 672
Sometimes Ye Qiu feels that as the head coach, he should not be too cautious when deploying troops on the football field, but he should not be too crazy and risky. In the final analysis, he feels that there is a human mentality worth learning from.
I still remember that in my hometown, in my small village more than 60 kilometers away from Xiamen, many middle-aged people in the village who were in their career age, who were in their careers, like to bet on a huge sum of money because they suddenly received a huge sum of money during the urbanization demolition process.
At least tens of thousands, at most, over one million, or even a certain part of the people exceeded tens of millions. This was a huge sum of money for the farmers in the small villages at that time. Although they lost their land, they had money, so they began to enjoy their lives legitimately instead of going to a nearby factory to continue working.
For a millionaire, lent money to familiar businessmen to collect interest, the monthly interest is more cost-effective than going to a factory to work, so when you are not working, gambling becomes a part of their daily life.
But it’s the same gamble. Some people bet very smart, while others bet all over the bank. Why
There is a group of people in Ye Qiu's hometown. There are a very small number of people in this group. They are very professional gamblers who make a living by gambling, while most of the remaining dozens are amateur gamblers.
Because there are a group of gambling people around ten kilometers away, gamblers from outside come to gamble almost every day, and without exception, professional gamblers go up and compete face-to-face, while other amateur gamblers are watching the situation betting.
Of course, there are also some gamblers coming from outside, so amateur gamblers have to look at the situation. Whoever has a good situation and who is bad, you have to know how to distinguish and understand one sentence, and you will stop when you see it is better.
Later, someone summed up a saying that in the village, all the people who gambled through the bankruptcy were actually very stupid people. They only knew how to behave hard when they won, and they tried their best to win more. In the end, not only did they lose all the money they won, but they even lost all their money. When they lost, they were red, resulting in even more miserable losses.
Smart people who really bet on the gamble will always try it out no matter whether they win or lose. When they win, I stop when they see it. When they lose, I stop when they lose. When they come again next time, and usually such people can win more and lose less in the end, because they will become smarter and smarter in the betting.
The gambler cannot be jealous, cannot be anxious, and cannot just follow the dealer. You must have your own judgment and rhythm.
Why does Ye Qiu feel that this gambler mentality has something to learn from?
That's because he knows very well that no team can always stay in a great state, you can't play every game of the whole season with a rhythm, and even later he analyzed that Bielsa's Chile cannot go further in the World Cup, is it because they maintain the same style and rhythm in many consecutive games?
You should know that professional football is very targeted now. When you play well in the last game, the opponents in the next game will make targeted arrangements based on the style you show and the weaknesses you exposed.
Tottenham Hotspur played crazy when playing Manchester United. The team's state has reached a climax, but this climax cannot last for a long time, so Ye Qiu must find a way to suppress this state. This is not only for long-term combat, but also for making some changes.
In this game against Manchester City at Tottenham's White Hart Lane Stadium, the starting lineup is still the same starting lineup as Manchester United, but the style reflected in the team's opening is completely different from the previous away game against Old Trafford.
Tottenham Hotspur in that game attacked fiercely and bombarded wildly as soon as it came out, but this game was not the case. Tottenham Hotspur started with a slow pace, while Manchester City was in contrast to the past stable style of play and saved fiercely after the game.
In this game, Manchester City's starting lineup was 3l tactics, goalkeepers were Joe Hart, defense was Krish, Lescott, Hangland and Macon, double midfielders were Yaya, Toure and De Rossi, frontcourt were Modric, Aguero and Nasri, single forward was Balotelli, and this was also Nasri's first game for Manchester City.
Less than twenty seconds into the opening game, Nasri got the ball on the right and broke through Marcelo for a cross. Aguero shot low on the left edge of the penalty area, but he slightly missed the left post and failed to hit the goal, but this was undoubtedly a first move.
Then Manchester City started another round of attacks, and in the third minute, seventh minute and ninth minute, they launched a fierce attack on Tottenham Hotspur, and scored five shots in the first ten minutes. Tottenham Hotspur just used a counterattack to create a threat, but failed to score a goal.
Tottenham Hotspur players on the court are just like fans in the stands of the White Hart Lane Stadium, because everyone believes that at Tottenham Hotspur’s home court, or even in front of Tottenham Hotspur, no team can maintain long-term suppression and advantage. Can Manchester City do it?
Ye Qiu always maintained patience on the sidelines, adjusting the team's tactics with gestures and shouts appropriately, and there seemed to be no idea or intention to change the current situation of the game, especially when he realized that Manchester City wanted to play Pirlo's single midfielder in a targeted manner, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Am I that stupid?" Although Ye Qiu asked Mauro Tasotti, he actually wanted to ask Mancini.
Everyone in the world knows that single-middle midfielder is not suitable for the existing tactical style, but Ye Qiu dares to play single-middle midfielder, isn’t he afraid of committing this taboo? Are he not afraid of others’ weaknesses in single-middle midfielder?
In fact, Tottenham's entire middle lane can be seen as a whole.
Cavani was in front, but he was actively defending, Ramsey and Vidal were behind Cavani, who used running and covering to connect this area between Cavani and Pirlo, who stood behind and around them, while Thiago Silva and Kompani were behind and around Pirlo.
At first glance, the four lines are very clear, but if you pay attention to the game, it is not difficult to find that the four lines of Tottenham Hotspur drag from the front to the back will definitely not exceed forty meters, and will even be compressed to within thirty meters at some point.
What does this mean? It means it is difficult for you to tell whether it is a single back, a double back, or even a three back, a
In theory, there is only Pirlo, but because the distance is short, Vidal and Ramsey can be regarded as double midfielders around Pirlo. Anyone with Thiago Silva and Kompani can be regarded as a thug next to Pirlo and also a double midfielder. Even if one of the central defenders comes back and one of the two central defenders goes up, it is a three-middle midfielder. The wave-style defense line can ensure that after one of the two central defenders goes up, the full-back on this side will take the initiative to drag the back.
What is integration? This is integration
So, when Manchester City started, it seemed that they had the advantage, frequently launching attacks, threatening Tottenham Hotspur's goal again and again, but in fact, they had almost no real threatening shots, and more of them were crossed by crossing from the side or long shots from the middle.
Manchester City is under a lot of pressure now. They played in the Champions League qualifiers in the middle of the week. Although they advanced smoothly, their physical fitness is also consumed. Now they are visiting Bailu Lane Stadium, and there is a round of attack after the start of the game. Ye Qiu also held a test-up attitude in this game. In addition, the strategy formulated before the game, you will be allowed to attack after the start of the game.
"There are always some people who think that others are fools at some point," Mauro Tassoti said with a smile, "Mancini is a little uneasy enough in this game. After a big victory over Udinese at home, he seemed a little arrogant and thought his team was enough to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona."
Mancini's original words were, "Although I don't think we have surpassed Real Madrid, Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur at this moment, we can say that we are already on the same level as these top giants, or very close to these teams."
You can understand this sentence as his ambition, or you can see that he wants to use this to boost the morale of the team, but what you should see is that no matter which perspective you look at it from, from the Premier League from the Champions League perspective, you are not qualified to stand with the top giants, or the gap is not ordinary.
Of course, it must be admitted that Manchester City's current lineup is indeed extremely strong. Whether it is the thickness of the bench or the main lineup, they are very excellent. Even if they insist on fighting on two-line battles, they can form an effective rotation. But if they want to challenge the giants, they can compete with Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea with declining strength, but with Tottenham Hotspur?
"They still have a long way to go," Ye Qiu smiled at his assistant's words.
Tottenham Hotspur’s current style is very interesting, resilient and tangled.
Manchester City attacked after the opening game, Tottenham Hotspur chose to avoid its edge, but Manchester City could not attack for a long time, especially when my defense can effectively curb your attack, how long can your attack last?
You should know that controlling the rhythm of the game and occupying the advantage of the scene are two different things. The latter is easy. If you have the courage to push all the players up and attack, your advantage will definitely be obvious, but it can only be a short period of time. Controlling the rhythm of the game is a very complex systematic project. In many cases, in a game, you can't tell who is controlling the rhythm, or who is affecting the change of the rhythm.
Strictly speaking, the rhythm cannot be completely controlled by either party, because you only have eleven people and the other party has eleven people. Even if you can control the rhythm of eleven people on your own, how can you control the other party’s eleven people?
Not to mention that for most teams, controlling the rhythm of eleven of their own ranks is a big problem.
Then, the so-called controlling rhythm is better to guide the rhythm and guide the rhythm of the game into a rhythm that is more suitable for your performance, or to play in advance. It is like a tug-of-war game, where you pull it to you, and I pull it to me.
But the problem is that football matches are not tug-of-war matches, so if you pull it hard, I will let go and you will fall. At this time, I will walk over and drop you, and you will be done.
So Tottenham Hotspur's tactics in this game were very interesting. After the opening, he saw that Manchester City wanted to attack, Ye Qiu arranged the players to let Manchester City attack. He launched the defense in an orderly manner without rushing to attack, which directly led to passiveness after the opening, but did not give Manchester City a good scoring opportunity.
Mancini is not a fool either. He gradually realized the difficulty of Tottenham Hotspur, and his targeted offense was difficult to work. He also knew that the team could not maintain such a fast-paced offensive for a long time, so he wanted to stabilize, slow down the pace appropriately, and even retract the overall forward-pressing formation.
But at this time, Tottenham Hotspur took the initiative to stubbornly, not letting you slow down or shrink.
The first fifteen minutes were Manchester City's crazy attack, but from fifteen minutes to thirty minutes, it completely turned into a battle between the two sides. The game seemed very chaotic, but this chaos was a good thing for Tottenham Hotspur, but for Manchester City, it may not be.
Because Ye Qiu did this on purpose, the purpose was to prevent Manchester City from having any chance to breathe.
Mancini is suffering now, and he even has the urge to curse. I just played against the opponent, but you dare not. Now I don’t attack anymore, but you are stubborn. What do you want? Can you still have some moral integrity? Are you like a strong team? Do you have the style of a strong team?
After entering thirty minutes, Tottenham's advantage became obvious, especially when he realized that Manchester City was gradually unable to keep up, Ye Qiu signaled the team to continue to invest in the offense.
I haven't tried my best yet, I just kept my energy to fight you, just to consume you. Now that I see that you have consumed almost the same amount, of course I want to start turning the situation around. Could it be that I can let this opportunity be missed in front of me?
In the 32nd minute, an interesting phenomenon showed a very obvious change in the situation between the two sides, that is, Alves rushed to the frontcourt to participate in the offense. Modric, who was returning to defense, pulled down his former teammate and was presented with a yellow card by the referee.
Even Andy Gray and Richard Keith, who commented on this game, began to realize that Manchester City was a little bit bad.
"I saved too hard after the opening game, and now I'm a little breathless," Richard Keith said with a smile.
If Alves' forward insertion just now was a test of the water temperature, then after testing the real situation of Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur will soon come with you.
Marcelo made a forward pass, got Pirlo's pass, and dribbled the ball forward into Manchester City's half. He first made a two-pass and one-sided wall-to-walk cooperation with Ramsey, and then went to the frontcourt to find Messi who had switched to the left and rushed straight to the left side of the penalty area.
Messi and Macon, if Messi is at a disadvantage simply from the perspective of height, but Messi's upper limb strength confrontation is not bad. If he can gain a foothold in the Premier League, his ability in this aspect cannot be too bad. Otherwise, if he is knocked down, it will be impossible to gain a foothold in the mainstream European professional leagues.
In fact, in the past life, quite a few fans ignored Messi's upper limb strength, so they had an illusion that he could only stand in La Liga and could not gain a foothold in other European leagues.
Although Ye Qiu's previous life Messi did have the bonus effect of Barcelona's tactical system in La Liga, his super strong personal strength should not be underestimated. Coupled with his modest learning attitude, he can eventually become the world's number one football player.
Maicon undoubtedly made the same mistake as many fans in Ye Qiu's previous life. He mistakenly thought that a short player like Messi could use his physical fitness and his strength to squeeze him, but what surprised him was that Messi turned around very flexibly under his physical confrontation.
This made Maicon unexpectedly, and even lost his balance for a while. He wanted to recover it, but saw Messi turning around and rushing forward quickly. Messi's ability to start when turning around is almost no one in today's football world can compare with him because he is small, his body is more flexible and his starting speed is faster.
After throwing away Macon, Messi caught up with Marcelo's straight pass in the blink of an eye, but he did not have the right to play the ball, but directly scored a low ball and passed the ball to the left side of the small penalty area.
While Messi threw away Maicon, in Manchester City's penalty area, Cavani also rushed up from behind, using the advantage of the latecomer, blocked Hangland behind with his body, and sent Messi's goal from the left to the lower left corner of the goal guarded by Joe Hart, almost rubbing the bottom of the net from the left post.
The entire White Hart Lane Stadium was completely ignited with passion. All the fans, both men, women, young and old, rushed out of their seats and faced Cavani who rushed out of the stadium with his arms wide open. There was a burst of overwhelming cheers.
"I just said, you saved so fiercely at the beginning and can't take it back now. Tottenham Hotspur team is too good at playing rhythm battles. On the surface, Manchester City has an advantage, but in fact, it is a trap for Tottenham Hotspur." Richard Kees shook his head and sighed. In this game, Mancini's ability to adapt and observe the situation is too weak.
Andy or Gray also sighed, "Tottenham Hotspur originally had the ability to play against Manchester City, but Ye Qiu's game was completely different from the previous game against Manchester United. The last game was a head-on fight, but he didn't fight with you in this game. I'll consume you first, and then slowly deal with you. As a result, you see..."
"Mancini must react as soon as possible, Tottenham Hotspur will definitely pursue and fight hard," Richard Keith predicted.
Andy O Grey laughed, "This is Tottenham Hotspur's style, and Ye Qiu's style
Sure enough, after scoring the first goal, Tottenham Hotspur immediately sounded the horn of a round of bombardment. In the following minutes, it kept hitting Manchester City's goal, and in 38 minutes, 39 minutes and 40 minutes, it entered the Manchester City penalty area three times in a row, and got two shots and scoring opportunities. Manchester City's penalty area was suddenly in panic.
But just when Yaya, Toure and De Rossi returned to the front of the penalty area, in the 41st minute, the frontcourt changed again. Messi took the ball in the middle and turned around and got off the diagonal pass on the left. Ribery used his speed to throw away Macon, crossed from the left back point, Cavani beat Krish on the right point, and headed the ball to break through Manchester City's goal again, 0
