Chapter 713 I must want these two champions!

Sometimes, some head coaches are worried that the players will fall into the whirlpool of pressure and cannot extricate themselves.

Ye Qiu has another view and experience about this. He feels that everyone should be under pressure and players also have pressure. This pressure not only comes from fans, but from the team and head coach, but also from the teammates around him and the players themselves.

There are two sides to look at pressure. You may only see the bad side of it and ignore the good side of it. That is, under pressure, it may have a spur and motivating effect on the players.

Ye Qiu shouted that he wanted to win the three championships, but in fact he wanted to put pressure on all players and told them that this is my goal this season. As for whether this goal can be achieved, Ye Qiu is not a god. He cannot predict it in the future, but this is an attitude.

Many times the head coach has to be clear about the emotional and psychological qualities of the players. When they want to relax, you have to give them some pressure, urge them to stay alert and wary, so that they have goals to strive for. When they feel nervous, you have to learn how to relieve stress and help them avoid stress.

This is a very complex science and requires the head coach to be very familiar with every player in the team.

After Ye Qiu shouted that he would win the three championships, Tottenham Hotspur performed very well in the Premier League next. The 32nd round of the league's away game, Uj sex black cat Sunderland, was able to maintain this momentum despite continuous multi-line battles and not lose to Manchester City, which was fighting on one-sided front. Tottenham Hotspur deserves recognition.

Because there will be the European Cup first and then the Olympics this summer, the schedule is tightly compressed, which is also seen as a very unfavorable factor for Tottenham Hotspur. There is only a three-day interval between the 32nd and 33rd rounds of the league. But even so, Tottenham Hotspur still narrowly defeated Southampton at home by replacing the rotation policy.

Adrians's team made a big splash at the White Hart Lane Stadium this time, breaking through Cech's goal in just thirteen minutes of the game, but Tottenham Hotspur quickly equalized the score in the first half, and then completed a reversal in the second half with Vidal's goal, which also made Tottenham Hotspur win praise again.

Tottenham Hotspur completed many reversals this season and many wins in the second half. The team's tenacity and fighting spirit have won unanimous recognition from the media and fans. They are very resilient and have strong willpower.

In the 34th round of the league, Tottenham Hotspurs played away against Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-finals, this round was postponed. Manchester City defeated Southampton with one goal away, successfully narrowing the gap between itself and Tottenham Hotspur to one point. Manchester City, which has won consecutively in recent rounds, is also in a state of great momentum.

Ye Qiu and the players also felt pressure from Manchester City's reluctance to chase each other. After all, they were chased from eight points ahead to only one point left. Although they played one game less, the pressure was still very high, so in the FA Cup semi-finals held on Saturday, Ye Qiu made another difficult decision, that is, to arrange all substitutes and young players to play.

As a result, Tottenham lost 0 away to DiMao's Chelsea and was eliminated from the FA Cup.

This has also been hyped and exaggerated by many media outside the world, believing that Tottenham Hotspur could no longer support it. Continuous multi-line battles have put Tottenham Hotspur in trouble. Ye Qiu was even forced to give up the FA Cup, which also announced that Ye Qiu's promise to win the triple crown was completely failed.

But some people think this is a good thing, because after giving up the FA Cup, Tottenham Hotspur can devote all its energy to the league and the Champions League, which may be beneficial to Tottenham Hotspur.

But for a time, news that Tottenham Hotspur might have a full collapse due to multi-line battles appeared in the newspapers. Many media even called the defeat in the FA Cup semi-finals a signal of Tottenham's collapse, which made it feel like they were not shocking.

Theoborde's mornings are always particularly busy.

The members of the coaching team came to the training base early and started the preparation for the first training class in the morning. They not only had to arrange the venue, but also arranged some preparations for players after they arrived at the court, which included a lot of details.

The reason why Tottenham Hotspur’s training classes are compact and high-intensity is that they are piled up with such details.

The players also came to Theoborde early and prepared in the locker room early. Many people were talking about the FA Cup game last night. Although Ye Qiu did not put the main players on the roster, in fact, they all sat in the stands and witnessed the entire process of the team losing and being eliminated.

Some people who have deep feelings for the club are indignant about the current situation of the team, while others are relatively indifferent. Perhaps they have lost their feelings about victory or defeat. For example, Raul and Pirlo, they have experienced professional competitions and have no strong impression of victory or defeat. Some people think that they only work a job and get a salary when they go to the team.

But there is no doubt that last night's game became the focus of everyone's discussion in the locker room.

"We lost so cowardly last night's game, and we didn't play any rules at all," Thiago Silva shook his head and sighed.

"It's mainly an offensive problem, especially on the right. Kyle or Walker did not give Hazard strong support on the offensive end, which led to our playing on the left, but we were in a dilemma on the right." Alves, who was in the cabinet next door, was changing clothes. He had some of his own understanding and opinions on the game.

Thiago Silva looked at Alves and knew that this Brazilian compatriot now felt the pressure of Kyle Walker. This English local right-back is very fast and has excellent physical fitness. His feet are simple and practical, and his back and forth are very capable of running back and forth. But more importantly, his defense is very stable and he has an excellent cross.

This is the trick learned from Beckham

"Chelsea focused on attacking the right side, Kyle or Walker did a good job in defense, and helped fill in the middle and repeatedly recruited and helped fill in the gaps. I think he has performed very well. When the midfield cannot control the situation, Alba and Neymar on the left have become the team's key offensive routes, and it is natural to defend on the right."

When he said this, Thiago Silva glanced at the locker room and saw that no one noticed him, he looked at Alves, "Daniel, you should pay attention to it. He called you to pay attention to the defensive position many times in the game. You must be a defender first, do you understand?"

"I know," Alves smiled indifferently, "but you should also know that I am good at attacking, and I have been talking to the team about a contract renewal recently, and I need better performance."

"A good performance doesn't have to be reflected in the offensive end, man." Thiago Silva kindly reminded him. He felt that this compatriot has indeed been a little lazy recently. Perhaps this is because of his conflict with his wife and that he has received attention from many teams. He heard that his agent met with Newcastle people.

More people regard this behavior as a kind of pressure on the club and a very common method in negotiations for renewal of contracts by all players. However, everything should have a standard. If it is passed, it is very likely that the negotiation will break down and even some unnecessary disputes will occur.

Like Alves, Thiago Silva joined the team when Ye Qiu just acquired Tottenham Hotspur. It has been six years since then. He knows Ye Qiu very well and Alves very well. He also knows very clearly that with more and more honors, Alves is no longer the Alves from six years ago.

Sometimes, people will change, especially when they are a little confused about the status quo.

Some people do not need too much motivation, and can always maintain a calm and rationality, and always have endless motivation. This motivation can allow them to persist in training hard on the football field for more than ten years, and such people will become legends in the eyes of countless fans.

But there are also some people who can maintain this hunger and motivation before they succeed. However, after success, especially after great success, they often easily lose their direction and begin to feel that they have the right to enjoy the honors they have achieved, rather than go further to strive for more honors.

Both of these people are not uncommon in the world of football, and the latter one is very numerous in Brazilian players because everyone knows that Brazilian players are famous for being lazy, especially after they succeed.

As a friend and a teammate for many years, Thiago Silva has no way to communicate with Alves on many things, such as the emotional conflict between Alves and his wife, and the conditions for renewal he offered to the team.

There is no doubt that Tottenham Hotspur cannot make Alves' salary exceed Messi and Ribery, which in turn allows them to achieve a balance in total income, so the biggest contradiction in Alves' contract renewal lies in this.

Thiago Silva patted Alves on the shoulder, closed the wardrobe, turned around, clapped his hands, "Okay, guys, stop talking, it's time to go to train."

A group of people walked out of the locker room one after another. As soon as they walked out of the training building, they noticed that Ye Qiu, who had basically no matter how training, appeared on the training ground. Everyone was surprised and quickened their pace.

Ye Qiu stood in the middle of the comprehensive training ground and watched the players come over one after another. Many people came out of the training building and saw him, and they ran over quickly. Some people also accelerated their pace, but one or two people were slow and dragged at the end.

This is normal. Every team has different personalities and different ideas.

After everyone was here, Ye Qiu spoke.

"Before the training class, I have a few words to say"

All the players listened silently and stared at their head coach.

“First of all, I feel sorry about the FA Cup last night, but I know that everyone who participated in the game has tried their best, as I said in the post-match press conference, I am proud of your performance, and I want to tell you that the game is over.”

All the players who participated in yesterday's FA Cup semi-finals appeared on the training ground in the morning. After listening to Ye Qiu's words, some were relieved, while others were a little embarrassed and even ashamed.

"The next task is very tense. From April 18th to May 13th, we will play a total of seven games."

One of the games was the 34th round of the league that was postponed due to the FA Cup. In addition to the other four league games and two Champions League semi-finals with Barcelona, ​​there were seven games in total, and the schedule was indeed very intensive.

"In such a intensive and intense schedule, it is impossible for us to play all the games with just a few players. I need every player you are present to contribute to the team. I also believe that you all know very well and are very eager to help the team survive this last wave of challenges and tests."

Ye Qiu's words received nods and affirmation from many players. At least, Tottenham Hotspur has always done a good job in this regard, and it is also a link that Ye Qiu has always attached great importance to.

"Guys, I hope you understand that losing the FA Cup is not scary, and we don't have time to go for a pity and guilt, because it has become the past, and we have only two goals next, league champions and UEFA Champions League champions."

"I hope you all know that in the more than 100 years of the English top football league, no team has ever been able to win the top league four consecutive championships. Even the arrogant Liverpool and Red Devils Manchester United were only stopped in the three consecutive championships, and we now have the opportunity to break and create this history."

"Also, the last time we touched the St. Boled Cup in the Champions League, it's been three years since now. I believe you are full of desire for it, just like me, and we need to show our courage, our will, and fight for it every game."

"I want to tell you, guys, in the next month, every seven games, each of these seven games will not only determine your season, but also determine your life. If you succeed, you will be proud of it and fail in this life. Perhaps many, many years later, even when you retire, you will not have the chance to make up for this regret."

Ye Qiu took a deep breath and shook his head, "I won't tell you to fight for the team, to fight for the fans, I will only tell you that you will fight for yourself."

"Finally, I will tell you again, very seriously, this season, I must have these two championships."

"One...definitely...want"

Ye Qiu finally spoke word by word, which was more like a knock and warning to the players. He wanted to use this method to tell his players that this is my idea. You'd better be able to keep up, otherwise, I can't guarantee that you won't be left behind by the team.

After Ye Qiu finished speaking, Rolander and Shepas came out to ease the tense atmosphere. Fatty Luo began to arrange the training program this morning. One of the most important points was the first round of the mid-week match with Barcelona.

Ye Qiu attaches great importance to the home game in the first leg. In his words, he wants to eat Barcelona directly at home.

There is really no way to do this, because Tottenham Hotspur will play seven games in the next month, and the league points are chased by Manchester City to only one point. This puts great pressure on the team. If you can't eat Barcelona in the first leg, Ye Qiu really doesn't know if the team can still play in the best form in the second game.

This is also the reason why Ye Qiu went to the full substitute and youth team in the FA Cup weekend. He wanted to give all the main players the team had the best time to prepare for the focus battle with Barcelona after a week and a half rest. It will determine the prospects for Tottenham Hotspur's European match this season.

Tottenham Hotspur’s schedule is very dense, which is true, but the situation of his opponent Barcelona is not optimistic, which is the tightening of the schedule caused by the European Cup in the summer, especially the La Liga starts later than the Premier League, so when the season ends, their schedule has become a weekly double match.

Barcelona currently ranks second in La Liga, behind Real Madrid. On April 7, they play in the 32nd round of La Liga, challenge Zaragoza away, against Getafe at home on April 14, challenge Levante away, and then on April 18, challenge Tottenham away.

Judging from this schedule, Barcelona is also very intensive. Although Guardiola has also rotated the team with considerable strength, in order to ensure that the team can continue to compete with Real Madrid in the La Liga, Guardiola dare not be careless. Several core players including Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Van Persie, etc. also start every game.

Therefore, after Tottenham gave up the FA Cup semi-finals in this battle, he was waiting for his work and resting his strength.

Before the game, almost all media were paying attention to this focus game, and almost all the ball commentators believed that Tottenham Hotspur would do their best to attack in this game, while Barcelona would continue to adopt the front-court suppression tactics and severely suppress Tottenham Hotspur, striving to gain a certain advantage away.

Although Barcelona's godfather Cruyff had a bad relationship with Rossel, he also pointed out in the column before the game, believing that the most important thing about Barcelona's away trip was that Tottenham Hotspur could not make a smooth attack.

"Barcelona's own defense has always been a problem. If Tottenham Hotspur makes a smooth attack, then this game will be very suspended. So the key focus of this game is suppression. Whether Barcelona suppresses Tottenham Hotspur or Tottenham Hotspur uses offense to suppress Barcelona, ​​this is the biggest suspense."

But Cruyff still believes that if Barcelona can make good use of their ball possession, they still have a chance to win.
