Chapter 638 There is a difference before and after Tottenham
Manchester City is full of injured soldiers, and so is Tottenham.
Uncle Po is perhaps the most proficient coach in using the three-centre-back and two-wing-back tactic today. In the first half of the Champions League group stage, he even defeated Real Madrid and Dortmund and beat Liverpool 4:1 in the Premier League. These are vivid examples of Tottenham's proper tactics.
The reason why three central defenders and two wing defenders are popular is because nowadays football is playing an attacking trident. This is an evolution of spear and shield.
The three central defenders can maximize the space in the ribs, while the wing-backs and defensive midfielders can be integrated to limit the space for the trident to move. Especially in the midfield where the strength is not dominant, the opponent has a top killer who can see blood and choke the throat, and behind the trident
With a top-notch inside forward, three central defenders and two wing-backs are the most perfect strategy in theory.
But as the season progressed, Wanyama, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Aurier, Dier, Lamela, Rose, etc. were successively troubled by injuries. When they walked in front of Manchester City, some had just recovered from their injuries, and some
Still lying down.
Uncle Bo doesn't have a bench as rich as Lao Gua, and injuries prevent him from playing the role of three central defenders and two wing backs. After all, this method requires too much of the player's personal ability and tactical literacy, and even Lao Gua no longer tries it easily.
If you can't play with three central defenders and two wing-backs, don't force it. After several draws and losses at the end of last year, Tottenham returned to a 4-4-2 parallel position, but Uncle Bo did not give up his whimsical idea. He put Son Heung-min out.
In the middle of the forward line.
The offensive trident is a complete offensive system, not just three people. Tottenham have Kane, Son Heung-min and Alli at the front, but they are either a trident or a simple 4-4-2. Alli and Eriksen are actually
Double attacking midfielder, but Eriksen has greater depth of movement.
In the previous tactics, Kane was in the middle. After all, the number one center in the Premier League, Son Heung-min, was responsible for wing attacks and cutting inside. In many cases, he was doing Bell's previous job.
But Bell is a master who needs the ball at his feet, while Son Heung-min is much better at running without the ball and has never been greedy for the ball. Putting him on the wing is a bit overkill.
Harry Kane is undoubtedly one of the most efficient shooters today, but like Son Heung-min, his football skills have become more comprehensive as he grows older. Kane has evolved from a unilateral attacker to an all-around striker.
As long as it has to do with offense, Kane is top-notch excellent. Confining him in the middle would be a waste of talent.
As a result, Uncle Po had an idea. Son Heung-min now appears more in the middle, while Kane plays freely on both sides and in depth.
By analogy, Son Heung-min is now Tottenham's Benzema, who was actually on the wing when he debuted.
Kane is not Cristiano Ronaldo. He is the number one goal scorer in the world and no one else can imitate him. Uncle Po is using Kane as Zhuo Yang.
It used to be Kane and Son Heung-min, but now it's Zhuo Yang and Benzema. Tottenham's striker has undoubtedly been upgraded. That's why there was a second recovery in January, and Manchester United tied with Liverpool in February.
But this will also cause new problems. Kane and Son Heung-min are maximized, resulting in an effect of 11>2, but the support requirements for the midfielder also become higher.
Juventus's frontcourt tactics are similar to Tottenham's. Uncle Juan is equipped with Meng Er, He Lian, Pia in the midfield, and Gou Sheng and Cuadrado on the wings. Tottenham obviously does not have such a luxurious midfield combination.
Uncle Bo's solution is to double the attacking midfielder and full-back.
This is actually a set of passionate fighting methods, it depends on who has the fastest knife and the most accurate one.
Today, Tottenham have two attacking midfielders, Eriksen and Alli, and two full-backs, Trippier and Rose. All four of them are quite outstanding talents.
Eriksen came to Tottenham to replace the Magic Flute. Although Alli is not a rising star, he has become the crown prince of Tottenham.
Rose was the top-ranked left back in the Premier League last season, and Manchester City wanted to poach him desperately but could not get him. The reason why Tottenham were willing to sell Walker to Manchester City was because of Trippier.
These four are obviously not ordinary people, but bad things happened to Tottenham today.
Zhuoyang opened the scoring with a header, achieving a victory over the entire Premier League. Tottenham itself is a desperate style of play, and after falling behind, it became even more reckless.
In order to provide strong support to the midfield, Trippier and Rose should have been a one-stop player on the wing, but they ignored their heads and directly acted as midfielders and even wingers around them.
As a result, Tottenham's two central defenders faced an empty defensive line that was farther away than the distance between London and Manchester.
On the other hand, Manchester City has a back four, but Aymeric Laporte, who plays as a left back, is a top center back. He and Walker on the right will never enter the Tottenham penalty area at the same time, but must go one behind the other.
One assists, and the other is always ready to fill the hole for the single defensive midfielder.
In this way, Tottenham's frontcourt attack is as vigorous as Manchester City's, but in reality they are all thunderous and it is difficult to threaten Ederson.
Manchester City, on the other hand, made Dier and Vertonghen want to cry and beat Lloris until he wanted to die.
The ball possession rate was 53% to 47%, and the two sides were evenly matched, but the shooting ratio in the first half was 11:3, and the offensive efficiency was high and low. If Lloris hadn't habitually cheated against Manchester City, Tottenham would have failed.
In the 44th minute, Zhuoyang took the ball from the left and cut into the penalty area from Tottenham's touching ribs. He suddenly swung aside Dell and shot. Lloris fell down in a sudden death style and slapped the football with both hands.
Seat B on the other side followed up with a follow-up shot. Lloris was so impressed that he made another fake corpse-style flat shot. It was not clear which part he used to deflect the ball again.
Zhuoyang and B Xi looked at each other and saw the hatred for Loris in each other's eyes.
Tottenham's empty defense is destined to focus on eating rather than fighting.
A minute later, Zhuoyang made a comeback unchanged, still counterattacking from behind Trippier who was out of position, and then cut into the virtual ribs.
Facing Dell, he dodged again, making him think that he was going to dodge and shoot again. In fact, it was a fake move of false right and real left and then wiped downwards.
Dell suffered a huge loss, and his focus on fraud was thrown to the ground as if an invisible man had swept it three ways with his low whip.
When it comes to learning from experience and lessons, Tottenham still have it, and Vertonghen does it. He is always ready to cover for Dier and close the door. In the blink of an eye, he rushes forward and shovels diagonally.
Zhuoyang's foot speed is faster than Vertonghen, so he did not scoop the football, but just tripped Zhuoyang like Dell.
The referee's whistle sounded, Vertonghen's yellow point package.
Zhuoyang was very dissatisfied. He just knew that Vertonghen had made up for it, but he thought that this guy could only eat ashes, but he didn't expect that he was also continuing to improve. His tackle speed was not shabby at all, and the ball passed people but didn't pass.
So Zhuoyang was a little annoyed when he fell unprepared.
Among Belgium's top three centre-backs, in terms of overall strength, Vertonghen is slightly behind Vermaelen and Kompany, but those two are sick, and Vertonghen is far superior in terms of stability.
Zhuoyang jumped up from the ground and angrily scolded Vertonghen: "Damn it, do you know how to play football?"
Vertonghen was so confused: I knew it was a foul, but wasn't I unpretentious? Besides, the action was clean. If you kicked me in the calf, I'm afraid it would hurt me more than you did.
As soon as he was stunned, Zhuo Yang strangled him by the neck.
Before the Tottenham man could react, Fei Niao and Ding Ding rushed up first. Fei Niao hugged Zhuo Yang, and Ding Ding grabbed his arm and murmured: "Brother Zhuo, calm down, forget it.
Firstly, Vertonghen and he are teammates of the national team and have a good relationship. Secondly, Guardiola has told him and Fernando: Zhuoyang has a bad temper. When he makes mistakes on the court, you two should persuade him.
Otherwise, if he gets into trouble, I'll give you both a hard time.
Zhuoyang had already calmed down, and his temper caused by embarrassment went away as quickly as it came. The fight between Ding Ding and Fei Niao just made him get off the horse, and after a pretentious "Humph!", he was ready to take a penalty kick.
Suddenly, I heard Loris yelling angrily: "Who the hell are you pretending to be? Damn you, if you can't kick it, go back to Asia as soon as possible."
