Chapter 825 Genius Processing Factory
When Tottenham Hotspur came from Munich, defeated Guardiola's Bayern Munich with a total score of I, and finally advanced to the semi-finals. After returning to London, he was immediately received like a hero by the entire London fans.
At this time, the media also reported the game one after another, and newspapers such as the Times, the Guardian and the Daily Mail published the details before and after the game. One of them attracted the attention of fans, that is, the pre-match tactical preparations for this game were completed by Mauro Tassoti.
This news made Tottenham fans feel relieved. Not only because the team won, but also because of the test of Mauro Tassoti, all Tottenham fans feel relieved. At least he proved his strength and helped Tottenham defeat Bayern Munich.
The release of this news was an intentional move by Tottenham Hotspur, and it was specially arranged by Ye Qiu. The purpose was to build momentum for Mauro Tassoti, provide him with the legitimacy of coaching the team, and win the recognition and affirmation of fans, so that he can get the support of fans and players after taking over the team.
It should be said that in the past year or more, Mauro Tassoti has done well in all aspects, and the players have supported him very much, and the fans have become more and more impressed and attitude towards him. But on the other hand, the more fans support him, the higher the expectations for him, so it may not be all good for Mauro Tassoti.
After returning to London from Munich, Tottenham Hotspur immediately headed north and challenged Wigan Athletic away.
This time, Ye Qiu arranged a rotation again, almost changing the team's lineup against Bayern Munich, but in the end, he still defeated Wigan Athletic 0 away in the FA Cup semi-finals and successfully advanced to the finals.
Tottenham Hotspur's opponent in the FA Cup final is Hul City, and the team is currently ranked 16th in the Premier League, only one step away from the relegation zone.
In the mid-week, in the 34th round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur slaughtered West Bromvic 0 away games.
After losing the league unbeaten record and winning streak, Tottenham Hotspur has made crazy offensive data in the last two rounds and scored eleven goals in two games. This is undoubtedly a very powerful slap in the face for the teams that suspected that Tottenham Hotspur's condition has declined.
But this is just the beginning. Three days later, at Stratford Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur beat London team Fulham again 40. In this game, Tottenham Hotspur still played with a full substitute. Mitrovic started as the main center and scored two goals, a very eye-catching young player.
After finishing the game with Fulham, Tottenham went to Madrid, the Spanish capital, to challenge Atletico Madrid away.
Diego Simeone, the coach of Atletico Madrid, is wearing a black suit, a white shirt inside, and a black tie. He is clearly black and white all over his body, as if he is integrated, which is very consistent with the feeling Simeone gives people.
Half of people like him and love him, while the other half hates him and hates him.
In fact, Simeone has always been a very contradictory person since his career, especially after the 1998 World Cup in France, which caused the national idol Beckham to get a red card, Simeone gave people a very negative impression, especially for Beckham fans, Simeone was even more guilty.
Atletico Madrid's style is exactly the same as Simeone's characteristics when he played football back then, with a cunning and rough but delicate nature.
In the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals knockout match, Atletico Madrid challenged Barcelona away. In the seventh minute, there was a picture that could clearly interpret the characteristics of Simeone and Atletico Madrid.
At that time, a long pass from Atletico Madrid backcourt, Diego Costa and Pique were competing for a header. Diego Costa got stuck in the first point first. Pique rushed up from behind and wanted to jump from behind Diego Costa to compete. But at this time, Diego Costa suddenly bent over, causing Pique, who had put some of the center of gravity on him after the jump, lost his balance and fell on the court.
This fall directly knocked Barcelona's central defender out of the game, with his hips broken and he had a rest for one month.
If we look at the whole process, I believe different people will have different opinions. First of all, after Pique jumping, it does have an action that disturbs Diego O Costa’s jumping, and even supports part of the center of gravity on him. Diego O Costa, as an opponent, did not allow Pique to support him jumping, so he broke free, there was no problem.
But you should know that in most cases, many players will not make choices like Diego O Costa, because they are very clear that in this case, the risks are uncontrollable, so they will retain a little room for consideration for their opponents, but Diego O Costa obviously does not.
After breaking free from Pike, causing the latter to break his bones after falling to the ground, he still looked at him with peace of mind. It must be said that he might not have known that Pike fell so heavily at that time, but this did not prevent the live broadcast of the game from being directed at him all the time.
Why is this picture interesting and can well interpret the characteristics of Simeone and Atletico Madrid?
It is because Diego Costa’s move is very cunning, but also very rough, and even despicable.
However, you can't do anything to deal with him. He will do everything he can torture you in the game, making it impossible for you to show your own strength and level well. However, he will also take the initiative to express kindness to you during the game, or ask you to reconcile after the game, which is the type of type where you want to beat him to death but can't touch him.
Diego Costa can be said to be Simeone's favorite type, for the simple reason, he and his Atletico Madrid are like this.
In terms of lineup, when the Atletico Madrid deck is put on, no one thinks they can make a difference in La Liga, but they are now the leaders of La Liga. Round tactics, Atletico Madrid's positional combat ability is not the same as the Spanish Super League two or Tottenham Hotspur, even if it is a Dortmund, it is not bad even if it is a Dortmund Derby.
In this regard, Atletico Madrid's average ball possession rate in La Liga is only 47, which is even worse than some relegation teams. They average 413 passes per game, ranking ninth in La Liga, and only Barcelona's average passes per game and the pass success rate is only 75. This is ranked eleventh in La Liga.
From this series of data, it can be easily seen that Atletico Madrid's positional offense is indeed quite bad, but interestingly, their average running distance per game is excellent, and their steals are also amazing, far ahead of La Liga and second only to Dortmund in the Champions League.
But there is one thing Atletico Madrid is well-deserved first, that is, they have more than 150 fouls and twenty-three yellow cards in total. These two points are better than Europa, but interestingly, they don’t have red cards.
This is the cunning Atletico Madrid brought by the cunning Simeone
For such a team, you can say they are rough and can accuse them of being mean, but you have no way to deal with them. Even if you are influenced and disturbed by them, you are likely to lose the game against them.
Simeone and his Atletico Madrid are both of the kind that fans love to death and non-fans hate to death.
In this game against Tottenham Hotspur, Simeone knew very well that they had no advantage in offense, defense, ball control, and running distance. The only advantage was to fight and grab.
So, at the beginning of the game, Atletico Madrid was very fierce. Although Tottenham Hotspur had the ball in hand and pressed it up, it could not form an effective scoring opportunity. Atletico Madrid can be said to be sticking to its own half, especially in the 30-meter area. As soon as the ball enters, it basically either whistle or is cut off, and there will be two results.
Although this game was away, Tottenham still adopted a 3l style, but judging from the progress of the game, the game was not ideal, so after ten minutes of the game, Ye Qiu made the first adjustment since the opening.
"Let Ribery and Neymar both pull to the side, move along the side, get out of the middle, and retrace and respond more."
"Let Matic be in the midfield and drag it back, Ramsey is in the front position."
"Lewandowski hit the front and Messi plays freely in the midfield and frontcourt"
"The full-backs have more forwards, and create as many opportunities as possible on the sidelines, helping Ribery and Neymar eat their opponents in one-on-one, or cross from the bottom or cut in to Messi, they will do it."
With Ye Qiu adjusting in a series of ways, the situation on the court immediately changed. Tottenham Hotspur, which was originally a 3L formation, looked more like the three in the middle of 413LI, namely Neymar, Ramsey and Ribery. The three of them were in a shallow disc-shaped position, surrounding Messi and Lewandowski in front.
Ramsey played the main midfield starter in this game. The Welshman performed as diligent and hardworking as ever. In addition to playing a role in the offense, he also had a very active defense and a wide coverage area. In addition to being a Matic, Tottenham Hotspur's two midfielders had a large coverage.
Ramsey ran in front to cover and intercept and press, and Matic was responsible for checking and filling in the gaps behind him, especially when the team intercepted the ball in the frontcourt and changed offense and defense, Matic was always able to block the position in time and cut off Atletico Madrid's counterattack route.
Ye Qiu's series of adjustments actually had only one purpose, which was to open up space, create more space, and create more one-on-one opportunities, and give full play to the strength of Tottenham Hotspur players. In this game, Marcelo returned to the starting lineup, forming two wings with Kyle or Walker, and his ability to insert assists was also very good.
As soon as the adjustment was made, Tottenham Hotspur immediately got a chance to counterattack.
Both sides fought fiercely in the midfield, and the ball exchanged back and forth several times. Marcelo returned to defense once, facing the opponent's Raul Qusia, who wanted to pass the ball, but Marcelo raised his foot and broke the ball. Then the Brazilian defender stabbed before Raul Qusia, rushed forward quickly and threw away Raul Qusia.
Neymar pulled over to receive Marcelo's pass, but did not dribble the ball away from Juan Fran himself, but passed the ball directly behind Juan Fran. He saw Marcelo cut inward and forced to overtake, penetrated directly behind Juan Fran, and after receiving the ball, he wanted to directly attack the opponent's penalty area.
Gabi quickly came over the back midfielder. Marcelo saw Messi, Lewandowski, and even saw Ribery on the right. He had many choices, but the Brazilian chose the worst one at this time, which was to drive the ball to break through Gabi, but the ball was cut off by Gabi, and Atletico Madrid made a counterattack.
Ye Qiu was very dissatisfied with Marcelo's handling of the ball this time. After seeing Matic destroy the ball, he walked to the sidelines and shouted at Marcelo who was running back slowly, "Hey, what are you thinking in your mind? If you lose it, you will lose it. Hurry up and return to defense, why are you slowing down?"
Marcelo, who was worried about being severely scolded by Ye Qiu, heard this and nodded to the head coach, raised his left hand, grinned, ran back quickly, and tackled Raulcia from the side, dribbled the ball and threw Raulcia to the ground.
"Hey, Marcelo, be gentle." Ye Qiu was still not satisfied. This action was too fierce and it was easy to get cards.
Mauro Tassoti looked at Ye Qiu's command and smiled, "The situation is gradually becoming clearer now. Atletico Madrid may have to take a breath, don't be so nervous."
Ye Qiu sniffed and shook his head with a smile, "This kid is like a naughty monkey. If you don't give him some pressure, it's really not OK, so it's best to put a golden hoop on him and limit him."
Marcelo was hidden by Ye Qiuxue for several games, especially when he played against Bayern Munich away. Ye Qiu would rather play Aspiricueta than him, which made Marcelo feel pressure. Moreover, Aspiricueta also played very steadily in the left-back position. Although his offensive ability was poor, his defense was quite good.
So after Marcelo returned to the starting lineup in this game, he was very active.
Matic is in the backcourt, and behind him is Thiago Silva and Kompani, the world's chief central defender combination, which allows Marcelo and Kyle Walker to press forward and participate in the offense with confidence.
Atletico Madrid did a good job in curbing and oppressing the midfield in this game, so Ye Qiu focused on attacking the sidelines, using the active attack of Marcelo and Kyle O Walker to complete the advancement of the ball. However, several times in the frontcourt, Atletico Madrid's defense was quite good, and Tottenham Hotspur could not hold the ball in the frontcourt and create opportunities.
Especially Messi, Gabi and Thiago are almost always taking care of him, so Messi had to expand his range of activities and actively retreat to participate in the midfield and backcourt support.
Marcelo took the ball on the left and took two steps forward along the left sideline. Seeing Messi running back from the front in the middle, he passed the ball diagonally to find Messi, but Messi saw Gabi running back with him, so he pushed the ball directly to the left and gave Neymar.
Neymar was close to the left sideline. When he saw the ball coming, he stopped the ball forward and quickly chased after him. Juan Fran was also following Neymar. Behind the Brazilian winger was Raul Qusia who was retreating to defend, and he ran with Juan Fran one by one and one behind.
Seeing that the bottom line was getting closer and closer and had already entered the left side of the penalty area, Neymar realized that he could not move forward any further, and suddenly his right shoulder sank, and his whole body turned from the bottom to the bottom, and his right foot was still very good to control the ball.
Juan Fran realized something was wrong and changed the center of gravity as soon as possible. Following Neymar, the midfielder Gabi also returned to defend at this time. He and Juan Fran attacked Neymar from the left line of the penalty area.
I saw that although there were people on both sides of the Brazilians, they were not at all panic. Instead, they suddenly braked suddenly, which scared Gabi and Juan Fran to stop with a sudden stop. However, he suddenly kicked the ball into the penalty area, and rushed from the middle of the two players, directly breaking away from the double-teams of the two defensive players.
After passing three opponents in a row, Neymar received the ball again on the left side of the penalty area. At this time, he saw Lewandowski pointing behind Atletico Madrid centre-back Godin. Neymar understood it and attracted the attention of Miranda and Atletico Madrid goalkeepers, and passed it with his left foot.
The ball passed the opponent's goalkeeper, over Godin's head, and fell to the back post. Lewandowski quickly inserted behind Godin's back, jumped high, and hit the ball. The ball hit Lewandowski's forehead and hit Atletico Madrid's goal.
"The ball is in"
"Tottenham Hotspur Tottenham Hotspur finally scored"
"In the 28th minute, the game went on for twenty-eight minutes. Tottenham Hotspur finally knocked on Atletico Madrid's goal. A cross from Neymar, Lewandowski scored afterwards and headed the ball to score, 0."
The entire Calderon Stadium was in an uproar, and the fans of Atletico Madrid were all in an uproar. They looked at the scoreboard of the stadium in disbelief. From the original 00 to 0I, and in the stadium below, Tottenham Hotspur players wearing white jerseys had already rushed out of the stadium to celebrate.
Lewandowski rushed to the sidelines and slid and knelt directly to celebrate. The Tottenham Hotspur teammates beside him rushed up one by one, surrounding the group.
The live TV camera kept playing Neymar's series of passes on the side just now. He passed three opponents in one breath, and then calmly cooperated with Lewandowski to pass the back point. This awareness and calmness are indeed very worthy of praise, and his personal ability is also quite outstanding.
Ye Qiu celebrating with Mauro Tasotti and Roland Shepas on the sidelines. This has become his signature celebration move, and he is also satisfied with Neymar's performance this time. It is not just him, but Ye Qiu also understood and appreciated it from Mauro Tasotti's eyes.
Even if the team really sold Messi this summer, and even if Ribery is already 31 years old and has really declined, the team is still Hazard, Neymar, Lucas O'Mora, and Januzai and other talented young players in the youth training camp.
