Chapter 781 Killing Pig Knife
Tottenham Hotspur beat Real Madrid 40 at home, which shocked fans and media around the world.
You know, Tottenham Hotspur played AC Milan in the quarterfinals of 16. Everyone originally thought that the Ross and Blacks were too weak. After all, the Serie A has performed very poorly in the past few seasons, but what everyone did not expect was that Tottenham Hotspur defeated Real Madrid with a big score in the first game of the quarterfinals knockout.
Is this the rhythm of defending the Champions League again?
Cavani, who played the big four in this game, became famous. The performance of the Uruguayan center in this game surprised fans all over the world, and also made him the focus and object of media attention again.
On the second day of the game, almost all media and newspapers regarded this game as a front-page headline and Cavani was in a very critical part of the report. Everyone believed that Cavani's outstanding performance helped Tottenham Hotspur beat Real Madrid.
That night, the Uruguayan starlight finally overshadowed Messi and Ribery
But while hyping Cavani, many media have also brought out previous news materials to reorganize. They have begun to pay attention to Cavani's contract renewal with Tottenham. The Uruguayan's contract renewal negotiations have been in progress for more than half a year, but there has been no progress, especially in the second half of this season, many people have begun to hype Cavani is leaving the team.
With two years left in the contract, Cavani will either renew the contract or leave the team, which is a very normal choice in professional football.
Media and newspapers close to Tottenham Hotspur, as well as Tottenham Hotspur fans, all hope that Cavani can stay in the team, but a considerable number of people believe that Tottenham should not consider breaking the team's salary balance for Cavani again.
Martin Samuel mentioned in his column, "The strength of Tottenham Hotspur in the past few years is enough to prove to everyone one thing, that is, no one in this team is indispensable. If someone is an indispensable member of Tottenham Hotspur's rise, it can only be head coach Ye Qiu."
"Among the fans' wishes, they naturally hope that the team will keep Cavani. Many people even shouted easily to give the team's players a raise, but they don't know what the raise represents."
"According to Cavani's agent's requirements for the club, although it has been looser than the previous weekly salary of 300,000 pounds and reduced to 250,000 pounds, the question is that once the team agrees to Cavani's request, what will be the salary of Messi and Ribery as the team's number one superstar?"
"Also, captain Thiago Silva is the backbone of the team's defense. Cech and Kompani's contract renewal have also been put on the agenda. In addition, midfielders Vidal and Ramsey will also sign new contracts in the future. New contracts for Kyle O Walker, Marcelo, Hazard, Neymar and others must also be prepared."
"Previously, Tottenham Hotspur proposed to control the team's salary to a reasonable ratio of 404 fiscal revenue. But if it is done according to the current situation, Cavani will drive Tottenham Hotspur's weekly salary to reach at least 200,000 pounds. By then, Tottenham Hotspur's annual salary will exceed 200,000, and enter the top three in the Premier League."
"It's obvious that the price is too high. On the one hand, we have to admit that Cavani is indeed a crucial member of the team, but he is only a part of the team. We cannot break the healthy fiscal system that has been held on for many years for him. On the other hand, we must clearly see that unless Tottenham Hotspur transforms into a team like Manchester City, Newcastle, or team like Real Madrid and Barcelona, it is impossible for anyone to support Cavani's amazing salary, which is completely unreasonable."
In the column, the fat man who has a close relationship with Tottenham Hotspur expressed his opinion, "I personally think that Tottenham Hotspur should do its best to retain Cavani, ensure that he can give him the highest salary of the team, and use the club's business model to help him increase his income. But if this cannot satisfy Cavani, then let's get together."
The Times also published news that Tottenham Hotspur's chief scout Peter de Visel went to Genoa, Italy to observe Genoa's Italian center Chiro Immobile, the 22-year-old Italian center has made 20 appearances in Genoa this season, but has only five goals and three assists, and its performance is quite average.
The biggest highlight of Immobile is that he played for Pescara, who was coached by Zeman in Serie B last season. Under the training of Zeman, who is known as the offense, Immobile scored 28 goals in one season. Although it was a goal in the Serie B, it was also eye-catching for a young center.
The Times is just a report on Tottenham's inspection of Inmobile. After all, Peter De Viser has inspected many players. Not long ago, he went to watch Bayern Munich's game, focusing on Thomas Muller and Mandzukic, and also to watch Dortmund's game and Lewandowski.
So, no one takes this matter seriously. After all, no one thinks that Immobile, who performed poorly in the first Serie A season, is qualified to play for Tottenham Hotspur, and the gap between the two is really not an ordinary big one.
Tottenham defeated Real Madrid in the first leg 40, and the other games also scored the winner one after another.
Dortmund, who is in the same half of the zone as Tottenham, drew 00 away in the first leg with Málaga, but Klopp's team still has a very high hope of advancing at home. Considering that Tottenham Hotspur has already won the overwhelming first leg, the media generally speculated that Tottenham Hotspur will face Dortmund in the semi-finals.
In the other half, Bayern Munich beat Juventus 0 at home, Paris Saint-Germain drew with Barcelona at home, and both games were not excited enough, one day later than Tottenham Hotspur’s game, but the fans’ reactions were generally not high, especially Barcelona, which was a disappointing game.
But the second leg of the game is very suspense. Except for Tottenham Hotspur winning the big score, they basically got the right to advance. The second leg of the other three teams was full of suspense. Who can advance to become the target of fans and media attention?
After the Champions League match, Tottenham Hotspur immediately ushered in the 32nd round of the Premier League.
This time, Liverpool's game time was an hour earlier than Tottenham Hotspur, and they were all played on Saturday night, but interestingly, both games were tied, with Liverpool tying West Ham United 00, while Tottenham Hotspur tied Everton.
Ye Qiu was tied in the first half, and quickly reversed the situation in the second half. Drogba's goal helped Tottenham Hotspur surpass it again, but at the last moment, Varane's mistake caused Tottenham Hotspur to concede a goal.
Both goals conceded in this game were related to Varane. The young central defender who replaced Thiago Silva and partnered with Kompani performed poorly in this game and was controversial after the game. In the eyes of many people, he does not seem to be the starter.
But Ye Qiu repeatedly defended Varane in an interview with the media after the game. He believed that Varane performed well throughout the game. Everyone should not just pay attention to his mistakes, but should see how much he did in this game. Moreover, he is still young. What young people should get when making mistakes are made is understanding and forgiveness, rather than criticism and condemnation.
In the middle of the week, Tottenham Hotspur appeared at the Bernabeu Stadium after rotation. Ye Qiu's team continued to use the tactics of the second half of the first leg, using the ball control in the midfield and backcourt, and adopting the tactics of midfield and backcourt contraction, forcing Real Madrid to press forward and then play Real Madrid's counterattack.
Facing Tottenham Hotspur's wise but desperate style of play, the Chilean engineers did not have a very effective method and lost to Tottenham Hotspur 0 at home. Ribery and Cavani each scored a goal, helping Tottenham Hotspur win Real Madrid away.
In this way, Tottenham Hotspur eliminated the La Liga giants from the Champions League with a total score of 0 in two rounds and successfully advanced to the semi-finals. The other three teams to reach the semi-finals are Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Barcelona.
But Tottenham Hotspur's situation has not eased because it advances to the semi-finals. On the contrary, as the league is approaching, events on all fronts have begun to tighten, and the pressure faced by Tottenham Hotspur is getting greater and greater.
Three days after the away challenge to the Bernabeu, Tottenham Hotspurs will face Liverpool.
Considering the match against Real Madrid, Ye Qiu had appropriate rotation of the team's starting lineup, but this time the team's rotation was almost suffocating suppression. The team performed very badly in the first half. What's more serious is that the central defender combination of Nesta and Nastasic conceded two goals in a row under the repeated attacks of Suarez, Villa, Mata and Gerrard, and Tottenham lost 0 in the first half.
In the second half, Ye Qiu made substitution adjustments and wanted to change the team's situation in a row. Although Neymar's cross was used to assist Drogba in a header, the team finally hated Anfield Stadium.
This also hit Tottenham and Tottenham, and Ye Qiu clearly saw that after losing Pirlo, the team's midfield really lacked a player who was calm and rational enough to sort out the midfield well under any circumstances.
Sandro, who won the starter in this game, performed poorly. Although the 24-year-old Brazilian midfielder has made considerable progress after leaving the Eredivisie, he is still a bit far from being alone and what the coaching staff demands him. In this game, Tottenham Hotspur's midfield was completely suppressed by Liverpool.
Of course, the other players performed very mediocrely. The biggest highlight was Erikson. This player's ball and shots were still at the level, but when he lost the power in the midfield, Erikson could not save the team alone.
Benitez seemed very excited to eliminate Tottenham Hotspur from the FA Cup at home and advance to the finals. He launched a counterattack against Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur at the post-match press conference, believing that the failure of the FA Cup will be the beginning of Tottenham Hotspur's big defeat, and Liverpool will usher in a turnaround to reverse Tottenham Hotspur's league.
However, in the 33rd round of the Premier League midweek, Liverpool drew 00 away with Reading, and Benitez was very dissatisfied with the team's performance, because this would lead to the Liverpool's league points being pulled apart.
So, after the Liverpool and Reading match, everyone turned their attention to the focus of Chelsea's home match against Tottenham Hotspur in the evening.
Referee Michael Dean ruthlessly blew the whistle to the end of the game, and Tottenham's offensive seemed to have stopped in an instant, with only Stamford Bridge fans breathing a sigh of relief.
Yes, all the Blues fans must be in a state of gratitude at this moment, because they are satisfied that they can save the draw in the last moment, because in the last fifteen minutes, Tottenham Hotspur's offensive was too fierce.
In the fifteenth minute, six shots and five shots on the right side. From this data, you can see the tragic tragedy of the last fifteen minutes of Stamford Bridge Stadium. In the chance of Tottenham's five shots on the right side, Ramsey only seized one of them and helped Tottenham to equalize the score. That was the goal that happened in the 82nd minute.
At the beginning of this game, Chelsea played too smoothly. Oscar received an assist from Cahill in the first minute and broke through Tottenham Hotspur's goal, but soon Messi received a pass from Pirlo to equalize the score, and both sides returned to the starting line.
Mourinho's team still continued the defensive tactics he had in the past against Tottenham Hotspur, while Ye Qiu's team continued to hold high the offensive banner, and the two sides were in full swing. In the 39th minute, Torres' assist helped Ramirez break through Tottenham Hotspur's goal again and surpass the score again.
After that, both sides did not find a way to break the opponent's goal again. Although Tottenham Hotspur had an advantage in ball control, it was not able to threaten Chelsea's goal. It was not until the second half that Ye Qiu adjusted again that Tottenham Hotspur once again got a goal opportunity and equalized the score.
This score is obviously uncomfortable, especially when Liverpool draws 00 with its opponent. Tottenham Hotspur should have taken this opportunity to widen the gap between the two sides, but now it is forced to be a draw, which is indeed depressing enough.
"The past few games have once again proved the necessity of midfield reform." Ye Qiu stood in the visiting team coach's command area at Stamford Bridge Stadium, and said with sighs to Mauro Tassoti.
Two years ago, Ye Qiu made a drastic transformation of Tottenham's midfield, and Pirlo became the key to Tottenham's re-emergence. In the past two seasons, Tottenham Hotspur has been invincible in the Champions League, and Pirlo has played a crucial role.
But the problem is also obvious. Pirlo is about to be 34 years old. He is currently provoking the midfield of Italy and Tottenham Hotspur teams alone, and is moving side by side on the two major battles, which makes it difficult for him to deal with Tottenham Hotspur's multi-line battles, but these are not the key points. The key point is that Pirlo's playing rate has dropped a lot.
As you get older, your physical condition will definitely decline. When your body slids, your playing speed will definitely not be the same as your peak. Even Pirloby has dropped a lot this season last year.
You know, let alone the fast-paced Premier League, even in European football, the biggest feature of the Champions League over the years is that the pace of the game is getting faster and faster, and fast has become a consensus among all teams.
There is a saying among Chinese people: Only the martial arts in the world can be fast and not broken. This is the reason.
The reason why the Italian team has performed poorly in the Champions League in recent years is because they are too slow. Allegri's point of view is actually correct and has a vision, but he is unlucky and has no support for AC Milan to complete this concept.
Also, like Barcelona, why is this team not as sharp as it was a few years earlier?
The reason is also very simple. Many core players in the team are older, both Xavi and Puyol, and they are older, which makes them have problems with the speed of handling the ball, especially Xavi. If Barcelona continue to adhere to the playing style with Xavi as the core, it will lead to their overall rhythm that must accommodate Xavi, which will only get slower and slower.
This style of play has no competitiveness in the Champions League.
So, two years ago, Pirlo was the right choice for Tottenham Hotspur, but now two years later, he has become a hindrance for Tottenham Hotspur, so Ye Qiu will find an opportunity to have a good talk with Pirlo, and both sides will openly talk to find a solution to the problem.
It is foreseeable that even if Pirlo stays with the team, he will probably have to get used to playing substitutes in some games next season. However, with Pirlo's always proud personality and his eagerness to participate in the Brazil World Cup, he may not be able to accept such an arrangement.
However, Ye Qiu also knew very well that Pirlo is a very mature and smart person. Just as he chose to leave AC Milan to continue playing football, if he left Tottenham Hotspur, he must not be surprised, because he left to continue playing football and to participate in the World Cup.
Such a player deserves respect
"I'll talk to him." Mauro Tasotti felt that he should take on this responsibility. "If he wants, he can stay for 14 years and he can go directly to the coaching team to do things. He has always been interested in coaching. Of course, if he refuses, we should also respect it."
They are all Italians. Mauro Tasotti and Pirlo have been in love for many years. They have a close personal relationship and are easier to talk to, so Ye Qiu agreed.
