"Doodoo-"

"The third round of the Carabao Cup has officially begun, and we are at White Hart Lane to give you the commentary on Tottenham's home game against West Ham. I'm Martin Taylor, and I'm talking about the game with www.biquge.info Andy Gray. ”

"I'll give you an overview of the lineups on both sides. Tottenham, who are playing at home, rotated a lot of players in this game, after all, Tottenham's current situation in the Premier League cannot be said to be very good. Tottenham have a Premier League game to face in two days' time, so Ridley King, Canoute and Robbie Keane are all rested. The goalkeeper is Kathy Keller, Zigger, Dean Richards, Anthony Gardner and Stephen Carr in left to right, Stephen Dalma, Redknapp, Poyet and Darren Anderton in midfield from left to right, and Postiga and Rebrov in front. ”

'If you look at the starting line-up at West Ham, they're all in the line-up. The goalkeeper is James, the backline is Bynes, Daley, Repka, Glenn Johnson from left to right, the midfield is Ribery, Carrick, Lomas, Leo Cork from left to right, and the forward line is Lambert and Defoe. West Ham made a random change of squad in League One four days ago, and it seemed that it was for this game. ”

"Tottenham's starting line-up, what do you say? The players in midfield are almost all very attacking players. But a midfield starter like Tottenham Hotspur is a bit thin defensively. ”

How strong are Tottenham?

So to speak. Tottenham players are more famous than the other. The biggest name on West Ham's side should be James, after all, he is an England international. In addition to James, players like Daley, Repka, and Lomas are also Premier League-level players, and can even be said to be Premier League stars. After all, I have played in the Premier League for many years.

But compared to Tottenham, it's nothing.

For example, Zigger, within a few years of his debut, was known as one of the world's top three left-backs, along with Carlos and Maldini. Of course, Ziggy didn't reach the heights one would expect. When midfielder Dalma debuted, he was also hailed as Zidane's successor. And Redknapp Jr. is a Liverpool celebrity, and Poyet is a Uruguayan star who is known as the best foreign player in the Premier League for the decade. Including Darren Anderton, a regular of the England national team in Euro 96 and World Cup 98.

These players are pulled out, and the fame is full of players.

On the surface it looks really strong.

But on closer analysis, Tottenham's players are not that strong. They are all famous, but they are either unsatisfactory like Dalma, injured like Ziggy and Redknapp, or a veteran like Poyet, who is almost 36 years old.

West Ham is also not famous because they are in League One and the West Ham players are young. In fact, Chen Ping believes that in terms of real strength, West Ham's players are not much worse than Tottenham, and even stronger than Tottenham players.

There's a reason why Tottenham don't do well in the Premier League. Tottenham's squad looks very famous, but the old and the young don't have many stars in their playing years.

Really speaking, the strong players are Ridley King and Robbie Keane.

David Pullett has a midfield of skill in this game, and he wants to use their experience and skill to control the midfield.

'Once the game started, Tottenham were in no hurry to attack. It's more about keeping the ball at their feet. However, it also has something to do with the current starting lineup. Tottenham's two flanks have not been impactful, which of course has been a major problem for Tottenham this season. Tottenham didn't have much impact on the two flanks, so they had to use passes to find gaps for West Ham. ”

"Poyet, give the ball to Redknapp. Redknapp dribbles ...... Carrick, Carrick breaks the ball perfectly. ”

Poyet gave the ball to Redknapp because Redknapp was very good at his feet and could control the ball. Redknapp slowly controlled the ball and was watching West Ham's defence to find gaps in West Ham's defence.

Although there was Carrick not far from him, Redknapp didn't care.

Redknapp and Carrick have not been teammates, but Redknapp is familiar with Carrick's style of play. After all, his father was the head coach of West Ham United back then, and Carrick was the big player under his father. Carrick is a very good defender, with a lot of awareness and certainly no bad defensive skills.

But Carrick also has shortcomings in defense.

That is, I don't like confrontation, and I don't like to grab because of speed. So Redknapp wasn't worried about Carrick. But just as Redknapp hesitated slightly, Carrick stepped forward suddenly.

The explosiveness is amazing, and before Redknapp can react, he stepped forward and stretched his foot between Redknapp and the football. Then one turned and squeezed Redknapp to the back.

Redknapp is a technical player and doesn't like confrontation, but he is not afraid of confrontation. Because Redknapp is 1.85 meters tall and weighs 80 kilograms, his body is still very strong, and he has played in the Premier League for many years. In comparison, Redknapp clearly remembers that Carrick is 1.88 meters tall, but weighs only more than 70 kilograms. Physical strength is very poor, so it has always been to avoid physical confrontation.

Therefore, although he was pushed outside by Carrick, in order not to give Carrick a chance to fight back, he directly pushed Carrick with his body. Although Redknapp's ability to fight has dropped a lot, he believes that he can still deal with Carrick.

So he pushed Carrick hard, but he didn't push Carrick away. Carrick held the ball firmly at his feet.

Redknapp, of course, didn't know that Chen Ping came to West Ham not only to use Carrick's potential points, but also to train his body all the time. Carrick now weighs eighty-one kilograms, and has gained twenty pounds in the last four months.

The ability to confront has also been greatly enhanced.

With a big height and increased confrontation ability, he is very stable when defending.

"I've watched Carrick fight before, but it's rare to see Carrick with that explosiveness. I didn't expect Carrick's explosiveness to be so amazing. And Carrick is clearly not afraid of physical confrontation at all, which was very rare before. Carrick hasn't been a big fan of physical confrontation since his debut. ”

Martin Taylor was amazed at that moment. West Ham have played in the Premier League for many years, and Carrick has been a very good midfielder in the Premier League in recent years. Martin Taylor is familiar with Carrick's style, but this time Carrick is completely different.

That's true of Martin Taylor, let alone Redknapp on the field.

"Carrick, give the ball to Lomas...... Carrick, Carrick is going to push through the middle. ”

No one thought of it.

Carrick played the ball back to Lomas, and before Redknapp could react, Carrick was turning and running forward. Lomas also immediately handed the ball back to Carrick.

"Carrick, Poyet came from the side to defend Carrick. Carrick, Carrick suddenly accelerated, Carrick's explosiveness was really good. ”

Carrick didn't pass the ball with the ball, he just ran.

Poyet was not far from Carrick and immediately came over to defend. Rebrov, who was included in the front, also reacted quickly, and immediately followed from behind. But just as Poyet and Rebrov were about to get to Carrick, Carrick suddenly accelerated and quickly shook off Poyet.

At this point, it can be seen that Tottenham's midfield is full of attacking players, and the midfield is open. Carrick's absolute speed is actually not fast, but the middle is open, and Carrick's long legs still quickly pass the midfield.

What is the most dangerous.

That's when the attacking player breaks through the midfield and directly faces the back line, and the defense is the most dangerous. That's the case with Tottenham now, with Redknapp conceding and Carrick getting past Poyet to put Carrick straight in front of Tottenham's defence.

"Carrick, Carrick pass!"

Carrick's through ball can't be said to be outstanding, not comparable to those continental midfielders. But now when he is facing the back line directly, Carrick's pass is also very accurate.

And Carrick is smart.

The Tottenham Hotspur defence is most worried about Defoe at this time, because Defoe's speed and agility are the best suited for this kind of counter-attack. As a result, the Tottenham backline is confident that Carrick will pass to Defoe, so their attention is on Defoe's running path.

But Carrick was the complete opposite, passing straight to Lambert. Tottenham players made mistakes, Lambert was more of a pull at West Ham and was a dangerous centre-forward once he played wide crosses.

In this game, in order to defend West Ham's wide cross, Gardner, a defender who is 1.96 meters tall, has been staring at Lambert.

It's a pity that they just think that Lambert is a good high school striker with a good header, and they don't know Lambert's excellent explosiveness. Carrick made a direct pass, Lambert suddenly accelerated, and Gardner, a 1.96-meter central defender, couldn't react at all. And even if he reacted, his speed couldn't keep up with Lambert.

"Lambert, Lambert shook off Gardner for offside and Lambert went into the box...... Single knife, this is single knife!"

"Lambert, Lambert shoots!"

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！”

"Lambert! Lambert!"

West Ham gave a 1-0 lead over Tottenham in the 14th minute of the first half thanks to a goal from their centre-forward Lambert. Now there are a lot of good players for West Ham. ”

'And these players are young players and West Ham are a youth team at the moment. With West Ham's current strength in League One, promotion should be no problem next season. I'd love to see what West Ham can do in the Premier League. ”
