The venue was not large, after all, there were not many people. There were two hosts, one was Ferguson, who had just retired, and the other was UEFA chief technical director, Ivan Lupescu from Romania. He was formerly the chairman of the Romanian Football Association and later joined UEFA. However, he was mainly responsible for the opening, but the professional discussion was still on Ferguson.

The topic Ferguson began to discuss is that the prevalence of such high-intensity oppressive styles that have emerged in European football over the past year, and he personally thinks this will become the standard tactics for top teams in the next few years.

In other words, it is difficult to achieve good results without suppression.

Everyone present basically agreed with Ferguson's remarks, because judging from the current situation, it is basically difficult for the team to effectively control the game, especially in some strong dialogues, which will be more obvious.

Many famous coaches present spoke enthusiastically, especially those with their own ideas and ideas. Their speeches are not actually a show-off, but are taken out to let other peers listen to their ideas. There may be many ideas that are not comprehensive, but the problem is that after so many peers discuss together, many of them can often stimulate you.

Among the many famous coaches, the speeches of two people often aroused the most applause. One is Arsenal's head coach Wenger, and the other is Lucescu, the old coach of the Donetsk Miners. The former's tactical ideas and ideas have always been very outstanding and very advanced, but Wenger's characteristics are a bit stubborn and ideal.

The old coach Lucescu has indeed excellent tactical attainments, and has a wide range of knowledge. He has coached for many years. He often says a word that can make many people shine and even cause some big controversy. For example, he believes that the future football trend should be to give up the midfield.

This kind of statement is indeed quite amazing and has caused huge debate in the venue, especially Wenger.

Wenger's philosophy has always been to pursue a ball-controlled midfielder, and Lucescu's statement of giving up the midfielder runs contrary to his idea. But in fact, Lucescu's statement has also been supported and recognized by many famous coaches, such as Atletico Madrid's Simeone, Mourinho, or Dortmund's Cloak

But many people, including Guardiola, think this is unlikely, because giving up the midfield means passing the ball to others. Losing the advantage of ball control is equivalent to losing the initiative in the game.

Ferguson and Heinx were thinking more. They did not participate in this debate too much. Instead, as bystanders, Ye Qiu, who had also not spoken, was listening silently.

In fact, although this kind of discussion can create conflicts and mutual stimulation of ideas to some extent, face-to-face debates cannot draw a conclusion. Many times you listen to them in dispute, but in fact, the ideas and ideas of both sides are not completely contrary to each other.

For example, Lucescu, Mourinho and others' philosophy is not to completely give up ball control, but to say that they do not pursue ball control and do not pursue midfield advantages. Guardiola and others' ideas are more inclined to control the ball, but they do not want to blindly pursue ball control, because in their opinion, they have a ball control rate but cannot create threats, which is because they are not doing well enough in some aspects.

Also, many head coaches believe that the pace of the game should be fast and the offense and defense should be fast, and that they should not waste too much on ball control. However, some people believe that once your pace is too fast, the pass and catch mistakes will be high, and the possibility of being hit by the opponent will be high, and they believe that the ball control does not necessarily mean that it is slow.

These seemingly contradictory ideas, but if they can calm down and slowly reminisce and think about them after the meeting, they may find that they are not arguing about the same view. They have many common points, but the differences seem irreconcilable because of the argument.

Therefore, Ye Qiu is not prepared to participate in such a debate.

Because he feels that everyone has their own football philosophy, as well as their understanding of football, whether to control the ball, and whether to take the ball, the pace of the rhythm, these different people have different opinions and opinions. The interesting thing about football lies in its inclusiveness and shaping nature, and everyone has the opportunity to confirm their views and ideas.

But Ye Qiu's silence was obviously not what the two hosts wanted to see. After Lupescu gave Ferguson a wink, the Scottish coach smiled and called him directly.

"Ye Qiu" Ferguson shouted, and the scene immediately became quiet, because many people realized that Ye Qiu had never said a word, "I found Tottenham Hotspur's playing style in the new season is very interesting. Can you tell us?"

Everyone immediately turned their attention to Ye Qiu. Everyone, regardless of whether they watched some games in Tottenham Hotspur's new season, had heard media reports without exception.

Ye Qiu saw everyone looking at him and knew that he could not escape. He smiled bitterly, stood up, took the wireless microphone handed over by the staff next to him, sorted out the thoughts in his mind, and said: "Actually, I think Wenger and Guardiola's thoughts are right, but Lucescu's statement is not a problem. Even the trend he mentioned is correct."

Everyone was very interesting to Ye Qiu's words. Many people had not understood it yet, but a small number of people noticed some clues, such as Ancelotti, this ghost spirit has very changeable tactics and quickly captured Ye Qiu's ideas and intentions.

"As the football theory we are all familiar with, football is always a contest between space and ball rights. Therefore, when the middle is crowded, the offense starts from the side. When the side is crowded, the offense goes to the middle. If the high-intensity compression strategy pursued by many strong teams now, both the side and the middle are strong, then cross position and pull, and go to diagonal lines and ribs."

"We can clearly find that the defense of modern football tactics is increasingly focusing on depth and width, which is reflected in the fact that our defense is becoming more and more layered, and our defense line is kept tighter, because compactness can maximize the defense of width."

Many people can understand Ye Qiu's words after listening to them.

"But there is a problem. If you have reached a certain level of defense and oppression, I can't break through you. I'm helpless in your oppression and pressing. Then I have only two ways. The first is that when your physical energy is almost exhausted, the other is that I will avoid you, and the latter one will be used by more and more people."

"The midfielder is now a must-fight for tactics, but I think that with the popularization and promotion of high-pressure tactics, a trend will gradually emerge, which is what Lucescu said, giving up the midfield, but this does not mean that I give up the ball possession, because we know that ball possession is not necessarily concentrated in the midfield, but can also retreat further to the defense line. As long as I have such a central defender, as long as I don't need such a high ball possession rate, why not?"

Ye Qiu's words made many people present understand immediately. In fact, Bielsa asked Xavi Martinez to play the central defender at Athletic Bilbao to improve the ball and the ball in the backcourt. This tactical madman is indeed very visionary.

"After transferring to the backcourt, because your midfield is facing high-intensity pressure, I quickly pass the midfield, the faster the better, and transfer the ball to the frontcourt as much as possible. In the past, our tactic was to lose weight at both ends and be fat in the middle, but I believe that once the tactic of passing the midfield quickly, it will become a gourd shape, with both ends and be thin in the middle, and be thin in the middle.

"How thin the midfield should be, it depends on the control of your team. You have enough control. Two players can, or even a single player, because you can place the midfield spots in the frontcourt or in the backcourt. From the future trend, increasing the fulcrum of the ball ahead will become more and more important."

When Ye Qiu said this, he looked at Liverpool's Fatty Bayern and Benitez. "Two forwards, even three forwards with fulcrum roles, will play an increasingly important role, just like Liverpool's Suarez and Sturric."

In fact, what Ye Qiu didn't say is that the 3l tactic he planned was actually two fulcrum points in the frontcourt. Lewandowski and Messi, at first glance, can actually be regarded as 4 as a 4, just the difference between the player's position and formation.

Ye Qiu's statement immediately received a burst of warm applause from the audience, and almost everyone was applauding vigorously.

If you study Tottenham Hotspur’s game against Arsenal, it is actually easy to find that Tottenham Hotspur’s possession rate is not high in this game, a little more than Arsenal. But the problem is that Tottenham Hotspur created more than ten times that of Arsenal. The reason is that Tottenham Hotspur quickly passed the midfield.

The double midfielder combination of Matic and Vidal, one is in place and the other is on the snatch. Both players are basically mainly based on defensive coverage and shots, without the traditional organizer's responsibilities, and more downs and combing are all centered around the dragged three players, Matic, Thiago Silva and Kompani.

So, Mourinho said that Matic is the third central defender, and he is actually not wrong.

Ye Qiu's remarks also stimulated the thinking of many people present, such as Ferguson, who was the first to comment.

Ferguson believes that the increase in front court fulcrum tactics caused by the rapid passage of the midfield by Ye Qiu will not bring about a resurgence of the double center. Even if there is, it must be similar to Balotelli, Suarez, Lewandowski and others who have strong ball-taking and ball-making skills, and can also pull to the wing-side comprehensive center.

Because the frontcourt will assume certain responsibilities of getting and making balls, that is, taking on some traditional organizers' responsibilities, an orderly operating mechanism must be formed, and it is impossible to have two Drogba-like centers or a combination of Black Wind Double Evils.

This extends to the point that the requirements for central defenders will become higher and higher, especially passing and passing, as well as long passes.

Football is a very interesting sport because it does not have the so-called victory equation. It can win games by taking various ways. Everything in the past is a spiral upward trend and it can accommodate countless possibilities.

Although football head coaches have their own ideas and ideas, those who can attend the UEFA Elite Head Coach Summit are basically the best in the head coaching field. So when Ye Qiu proposed this new trend and idea, they immediately stimulated some ideas and put forward various ideas and possibilities, and it felt like they were taught a lesson.

For example, Ancelotti mentioned that he believes that he does not have the conditions to completely de-midfield, but he agrees with what Ye Qiu said to pass the midfield quickly. In addition, Real Madrid also has two excellent central defenders who get and take the ball and get the ball, and at the same time have strong mobility, namely Ramos and Pepe. In addition, the personal abilities of Real Madrid frontcourt players are also quite threatening.

In fact, in a short period of time, it is difficult for many teams to play double strikers or multi-forward tactics, because they must consider the issue based on the existing player lineup and configuration. On the contrary, some newly-built and reorganized teams have this possibility because they can better keep up with the development trends and trends of football.

Therefore, this has caused the so-called Feng Shui rotation in the world of football.

No one outside the world knew about Ye Qiu's speech at the European Elite Club Coach Summit, and no press conference was even arranged after the meeting. Instead, the UEFA President and all the head coaches who attended the meeting lined up in three rows at the venue and took a photo as a souvenir.

A tea party was arranged at noon, and everyone went to the UEFA headquarters to rest on the shore of Lake Geneva, where UEFA headquarters, and enjoyed the refreshments provided by UEFA. Many people were still unsatisfied with the discussion just now, so they gathered together in groups and scrambled to discuss the topics just now.

The most people around Ye Qiu, including Ferguson, Lucescu, Guardiola, Wenger, Simeone, Mourinho, Benitez, etc., all came over. Everyone was discussing many tactical topics that might be popular in the next few years, or even in ten years.

Those who can appear here are basically elites in the head coaching field, but not all head coaches can fulfill their tactical ideas and ideas. After all, if they want to promote their own tactics, they often have to encounter many opportunities, and even support from all aspects of the club, which is not easy.

Just like a goal in a football game, it is really not easy, but once you score, the satisfaction is incomparable to high-scoring competitions such as basketball and volleyball.

The afternoon award ceremony was not open to reporters, and UEFA President Platini personally presented the award.

Ferguson happened to coach about 200 European games, while Wenger, Ancelotti and Ye Qiu also had more than 100 games, so the four of them received plaques and photos from Platini.

In addition, Ye Qiu and Ferguson have successively received the appointment letter from Platini. Since 2014, Ye Qiu has officially served as UEFA chief technical consultant and head coach ambassador, and Ferguson will serve as UEFA head coach ambassador, because the Scots were originally a member of the technical team.

The reason why Ye Qiu accepted these two invitations was mainly because he was comfortable and leisurely enough. He occasionally came to meet and could also travel to Switzerland or Monaco for public expenses. Whenever he went to some important events, such as the Champions League final or the European Cup, he could get free tickets. How cool it was.

On the second day of the meeting agenda, it was more about gatherings, but after all, they were head coaches, and the topics discussed by many people were actually inseparable from football.

After the European head coaching summit, Ye Qiu returned to China for a week before returning to London.

At present, he handed over almost everything to Mauro Tasotti, so he himself was very idle. When he returned to London, Mauro Tasotti, who received the news, discussed some of the views and gains from the European head coach summit with him. Many of the views and opinions from other head coaches made Mauro Tasotti highly appreciated.

"Don't look envious and jealous, you will be there next year." Ye Qiu smiled and encouraged Mauro Tasotti.

In fact, if it weren't possible, Ye Qiu would have considered letting Mauro Tasotti go on his behalf.

After two weeks of national team match day, the Premier League rekindled its war. Tottenham Hotspur ushered in the fourth round, facing Norwich at home. As a result, Tottenham Hotspur was not affected by the many international players. Instead, many international players returned to the team early and were in good shape, and defeated Norwich at home 0.

Interestingly, seven goals were scored by seven players, including Messi's two assists, Ribery had one assist, and Pirlo was arranged to start in this game by Ye Qiu, and a direct free kick was also recorded.

Three days later, Ye Qiu rotated the team's lineup and faced Leverkusen, led by Hepia, the first opponent in the Champions League group stage. In the end, with Ribery's two shots and one pass, Messi's one pass and one shot, and Lewandowski's goal, he defeated Leverkusen 40 and won the first victory of the group stage.

But the most eye-catching team in the first round of the Champions League group was not Ye Qiu's Tottenham Hotspur, but Ancelotti's Real Madrid. They beat Galatasaray away and became the most popular team in the first round of the group.

On the weekend, Tottenham Hotspur rotated again and challenged Cardiff away. As a result, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Cardiff completely away, and once again wiped out his opponent and won a big victory.

At the beginning of this game, Cardiff scored first, but soon, Tottenham Hotspur scored twice with the two players of Lewandowski, Thiago Silva, and completed the reversal in 4l. In the second half, Hazard and Vidal scored the score in L.

In the middle of the week, Tottenham Hotspur played the knockout round of the League Cup with a full substitute, and defeated Aston Villa, who also played as a substitute lineup, with Drogba scoring twice in this match. Pogba and Mitrovic, who came on the bench, each scored a goal. Stroman and Phil or Jones played the whole game together and performed well.
