Chapter 673: The arrogant soldier will be defeated
Martin River Tkinson blew the whistle to the end of the game.
The entire White Hart Lane Stadium has completely become a sea of celebration. Countless Tottenham fans have shouted for celebrating themselves, and many female fans have even forgotten to celebrate. The passion they show in the stands of such football matches is not inferior to male fans at all.
But there was still a small wave of fans who followed the team to play away and expressed dissatisfaction with the referee's penalty at a certain moment. They raised the black whistle sign in the stands, but such a scene would appear almost every game.
The most controversial thing about Manchester City fans and players is that during a counterattack, Pirlo, who was returning to defense, made an insignificant move when defending Aguero, but it caused Aguero to lose balance and fall to the ground after he used his personal ability to break through Vidal. However, the referee Martin He and Trkinson believed that this could not constitute a foul.
You should know that similar pulling moves will appear in almost every game. In the Premier League, such pulling is very common. Generally speaking, the referee will consider it based on your situation. If you pull for too long, there is a risk of winning the card, at least it will be a foul and a warning, but if it is loose, it will basically not be investigated.
Sometimes, no matter who it is, there is inevitably a selfish mentality, which is to specifically choose what is beneficial to oneself and forget those that are unfavorable to oneself. In this game, Tottenham Hotspur missed a free kick opportunity outside the top of the penalty area.
Lescott pushed down Messi, who wanted to get the ball and turn around to get rid of it. The referee did not give cards or whistle the cards, which also made Tottenham Hotspur players a little dissatisfied, but considering that the team was leading, they let it go.
As head coaches, Ye Qiu and Mancini know this performance of the referee. Nowadays, the pace of football is so fast, you cannot ask the referee to be 100% accurate and fair in every penalty. You can only ask him to be as fair as possible.
The moment Mancini was whistling, he looked at the stadium with his eyes blankly and frowned. He only had a feeling of helplessness now, because he didn't even know how he should clean up the mess in front of him. He couldn't even simply attribute the problem to the referee like a small number of fans in the stands.
The referee was not a key factor when he was behind two goals in the first half. The referee was not a key factor after the opening of the second half. Even when Cavani scored a hat-trick, the referee was not a factor that favored the home team.
0 This was a crushing defeat, and it was a five-finger palm print that shaved on Mancini's face, scarlet, conspicuous and shocking.
In the previous thirty minutes, no one would have thought that Manchester City would lose so thoroughly in the end. Everyone even felt that Manchester City performed well in this game, suppressing Tottenham Hotspur, and at least not allowed Bai Baihe, who did whatever he wanted at Old Trafford a week ago, to make his own crazy attack.
But that's more like a kind of playing, a kind of playing cat and mouse
Tottenham changed the start and style of play of the previous round and gave up his attack, especially when Ye Qiu saw Manchester City pushing forward and attacking, he directly adopted a contraction-style game strategy and slowly consumed Manchester City's attack. After 30 minutes, he suddenly pushed forward and scored two goals in one breath.
In the second half, Mancini was preparing to make adjustments and reverse the situation. However, at the beginning of the game, Tottenham Hotspur finally showed its bloody fangs and launched a crazy offensive of twenty minutes, piercing through Manchester City's goal twice, completely disintegrating Manchester City's morale and making it difficult for the entire game to effectively threaten Tottenham Hotspur's goal.
For such a scene, Mancini tried to reverse and save, but he found that in the end he could hardly do anything, because the whole scene and situation were completely controlled by Tottenham Hotspur. All he could do was one thing, taste the bitter fruit of failure.
The referee took two linesman and fourth officials to return to the player's passage. The home team's head coach Ye Qiu walked over to shake hands with them. This was booed by some Manchester City fans, but it was drowned in the overwhelming cheers of the entire White Hart Lane stadium.
When Mancini saw this scene, perhaps after the game, some conspiracy theories would say that this was evidence of Ye Qiu's relationship with the referee, but as the head coach, he knew very well that this was just a kind of thanks from the host to the referee team, and it was a kind of gentlemanly demeanor. Whether you lose or win, you have to do this.
After not seeing Ferguson's crushing defeat at home 2008, he still shook hands with Weber? Can it be said that this was Ferguson colluding with Weber and deliberately losing to Tottenham Hotspur at home? Or is this Ferguson's big chess game in the game?
You should know that in England, there are more than 10,000 referees holding whistles in the four major professional and non-professional leagues, of which 20 referees specializing in law enforcement of the Premier League. Some referees in the Champions League will also have some opportunities to whistle the Premier League every season, so their competition is very fierce.
Premier League referees are all professional referees, and their income is closely related to the number of times and level of whistleholds. If their whistlehold performance is not ideal, or there is a dispute over law enforcement, they will face a period of ban and fines, which will lead to a sharp drop in their income. In addition, there are fourth officials supervising each side and on the stands of each game, as well as some retired referee teams or head coaches who carefully observe the referee's every move and evaluate their performance.
Therefore, it is OK to say that the referees in the Premier League misjudgment, because the referees all over the world misjudgment, but it is a bit too much to say that the referees in the Premier League have black whistle. Even sometimes, major misjudgment occurs due to factors such as the referee's personal emotions, state fluctuations, etc., cannot constitute a black whistle.
Of course, there is another illusion that fans are prone to making, that is, favoring strong teams.
The strong teams themselves are relatively strong and have an advantage, and they have more offensive opportunities. The weak teams usually focus on defense, and the chances of misjudgment between offense and defense are often at a disadvantage, because the fouls are basically on the defensive side.
For Mancini, he knows this very clearly, and in the past few seasons, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Arsenal and other teams have been calling on the FA to further strengthen and unify the law enforcement standards of Premier League referees, emphasizing the protection of players, especially technical players.
Therefore, Mancini did not feel hatred for the referee, and also walked to the sidelines, shook hands with the referee and the linebacker in this game, expressing their gratitude for their enforcement of the game, while Martin River Tkinson comforted Mancini.
After the referee team left, Ye Qiu walked towards Mancini. He took the initiative to extend his hand and politely grasped Mancini. They were not friends. Although they often met and could see each other on TV and newspapers almost every week, they had no friendship.
"A very wonderful game," Mancini said bitterly.
"Thank you" Ye Qiu smiled politely.
The two had no friendship, and after being polite, Ye Qiu returned to the home team coach's seat.
Perhaps from the perspective of a professional head coach, Mancini's tactical literacy does not need to be doubted, and there is no problem with theory. As many people say, Italian head coaches often have excellent tactical theories, especially in defense. However, the biggest gap between Mancini and famous coaches such as Capello and Lippi is in their use.
Or to put it another way, the tactical theories of modern football are basically the same, whether it is offense or defense, all of them are the same. You can learn these things directly at the Cologne Sports Academy, or Yu Qiang goes to a football club, or even buy a few books to read by yourself.
But theory is dead, how to learn and apply it is the key
You should know that the same tactics, same ideas, and same lineup, if you put it in the first half and the second half, you will have two completely different results. Therefore, how to learn and apply it is a reflection of a head coach's level.
At this point, Mancini is the weak point, and he is obviously a little arrogant in this game.
Before the game, putting Manchester City and top teams like Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid and Barcelona together is a kind of arrogance. After the opening of the White Hart Lane Stadium, it has the idea of swallowing Tottenham Hotspur directly in one breath. This is also a kind of arrogance.
There is a saying that is right, arrogant soldiers will lose, and Manchester City's crushing defeat is because they are proud.
On the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur was at a disadvantage at the beginning, but it did not affect the team's patience. On the one hand, the players actively defended, and on the other hand, they were patiently waiting for opportunities. After half an hour, they kicked over their heads and scored two goals in a row. The attack in the second half vented the depression of the first half in one breath, directly expanding the score to 40.
In the last moment, Messi assisted Cavani, which was not only Cavani's hat trick, but also Messi's own hat trick in this game. The Argentine star scored a goal and assisted three goals, making him the best player in this game.
What is even more commendable is that Messi made 71 passes in this game, and he succeeded 70 times. The success rate of this pass was amazing. Fifty of them were from the frontcourt passes, all hitting the ball, and he also contributed thirteen threatening passes, making him the player with the most threatening passes in the team.
Compared with Messi's approach to getting the ball and passing the ball, and using his personal abilities to create murderous intent in the key areas, Cavani is more likely to use his physical strength to run and pull to create gaps for his teammates. Sometimes he plays forward in the middle, sometimes retreats to support the midfield, sometimes pulls to the left, and sometimes moves to the right, with almost no fixed position.
Ribery has skills, breakthroughs, shooting and running. His tacit understanding with Messi and Cavani, as well as his outstanding personal abilities, allows him to help himself and his teammates create threats no matter where he appears. Moreover, his comprehensiveness in the frontcourt also allows him to be at ease in the three lines on the left, center and right.
The three individual abilities are superb and comprehensive. At the same time, they cooperate with the tacit frontcourt attackers, which makes Tottenham Hotspur's frontcourt have almost no fixed combination. They are constantly changing positions, interspersing back and forth, and creating threats.
The happiest thing is the Tottenham Hotspur fans at White Hart Lane Stadium. When the team slaughtered Arsenal 0, they were not on the scene. When the team slaughtered Manchester United 0, they were not on the scene, which made them feel very regretful, but this time, the team satisfied them.
They finally got what they wanted to win the championship with their own eyes
Andy Grey and Richard Keith also appeared at the White Hart Lane Stadium, because their commentators are all aiming for the focus of the round, and Tottenham Hotspurs have encountered favorite opponents in the last two rounds, so they are all here to comment on them.
"After Tottenham returned to home, they made some targeted adjustments, and they also continued their excellent performance when they played against Manchester United in the last round of away games, but I think that the culprit of Manchester City's crushing defeat in this game was Mancini."
Andy Grey seems to have a lot of objection to Mancini. In fact, in the professional field, he has never stopped questioning Mancini. Even though he is domineering in Inter Milan, it is still in the decline of Serie A. When he switches to the European arena, he will be declining and has never achieved the results of proving his strength.
"We all know that the biggest taboo of playing a strong team is to hesitate to gain and lose. In this game, Mancini played two midfielders, Yaya, Toure and De Rossi. Modric played the left winger and Nasri played the right winger. What exactly does he want? Play ball control? Play ball control in front of Tottenham Hotspur?"
Andy Grey laughed a little. In fact, he hasn't figured it out yet. I'm afraid even Mancini himself hasn't figured it out.
Judging from the player configuration, Manchester City's offensive lineup is strong enough, but they do not blend together perfectly, but seem to be fighting each other.
Richard Keith shook his head when he heard this, "Actually, I have a different opinion from you, that is, I think that with so many technical geniuses, if Manchester City makes some decisions in possession of the ball, maybe they can make a difference in this regard, considering that Tottenham Hotspur's current midfield style has been transformed."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Andy Grey shook his head vigorously, "No, no, you are wrong, Richard, Tottenham Hotspur sold Fabregas and David Silva, which really made his midfield possession less, but have you noticed that their possession began to drag and began to unfold more in the backcourt.
"I have always believed that Tottenham Hotspur is not unable to control the ball. If they want to control the ball, they can make some amazing control time, because their running without the ball is so good. As long as the running without the ball is good, the control rate will definitely be able to be improved. But Tottenham Hotspur's pass and running are more straight lines and are looking for opportunities."
"So I said, Manchester City can't play possession in front of Tottenham Hotspur because it's hard for you to control the ball in front of them."
Richard Keith heard this and laughed, "Maybe you are right, but I still think that the biggest problem with Mancini now is that they lack obvious characteristics. With such a strong lineup configuration, theoretically, offensive football should be played well, but they can play against weak teams like this, but when they face strong teams, they seem to lack confidence."
"So, I say the culprit is Mancini." Andy Grey once again emphasized his point of view, "As the team's head coach, you should at least let your players feel your determination. Whether to attack or retract, you have to be clear, so that the players can follow you."
"I think Ye Qiu does this very well, and he will make mistakes, but no matter how he makes a mistake, he will know clearly what he wants. This kind of clarity will be passed on to his players. Even if it is wrong, the players will still follow you wholeheartedly."
"Also, I think Mancini's bad job is that he doesn't like to take responsibility."
Andy O Gray smiled bitterly: "This is definitely a fatal weakness for a leader. He lost the UEFA Cup last season and the media attacked Balotelli's red card. At this time, as the team's head coach, he should stand up and take responsibility, but he didn't. I think this is unqualified for a leader and no one will accept him."
Richard Keith heard it all the time, "Relatively speaking, Ye Qiu, Ferguson, Mourinho and others are all good leaders. Many people say that they protect their shortcomings. In fact, they have to look at it this way. For players, I will play according to your coach's requirements. It is difficult to say whether they lose or win, but if they win, they have nothing to say and lose, and I have to be responsible for all the responsibilities. How could I accept it?"
"Players are also human beings. Just like when we go to and from get off work in the company, for a smart leader, it is impossible for him to scold his supervisor in front of his employees, because this will lead to the supervisor having no prestige in front of his employees. On the contrary, when there is a problem, the leader will take the initiative to take responsibility and even if he scolds him, he will have to close the door and scold himself."
"Only in this way can the management of a company be operated effectively"
"The same is true for managing the locker room. If a player has problems, your head coach will have to take responsibility. You don't take responsibility. All problems will be handled by the players. The players feel unhappy. Whatever you ask him to do next time, he will start to disobey you. You will suffer the loss by yourself."
Andy Grey laughed, "So I said, the biggest problem at Manchester City is no longer the overall strength of the team. With such a strong team lineup, it is impossible to say that the strength is not enough. The real problem lies in the leader."
Andy Grey and Richard Keith both have one last sentence, that is, Mancini cannot be the right person for Manchester City. This is more clearly and obviously from this game.
On the contrary, Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu's control over the team was fully reflected in this game. The players on the court can implement his ideas and plans well, such as using his arms to help them handle them freely.
