Chapter 22: The warm-up game begins

How is the state of Yi? Strength and conditioning coach Oliver said with a smile.

"Yi's body is much stronger than it looks, and his muscle strength and flexibility are very good, especially his fighting ability, which is completely unexpected." Braun, Ph.D., said: "I specifically sorted out his fitness stats from last season, if it wasn't for the two-front battle and the full game, it made him reach a critical point in his fitness and have a muscle tear problem. In the case of substitutions, pay more attention to rest and recovery, and his form is not problematic at all. ”

To sum up, in one sentence, it can be summed up as 'face deception'.

After speaking, Dr. Braun handed over a physical examination report and said with a smile: "Sir, this is Yi's physical examination report, he has not slackened off during this holiday, his body fat has been maintained very well and has not increased." You can discipline others, but you can't reprimand Yi Le, he is the hardest working one. ”

Hearing this, Boas coughed awkwardly, put the physical examination report aside, and asked, "How is Yi's injury?" ”

"The recovery is good, there are no problems." Braun, a doctor of kinesiology, patted his chest and assured.

Hearing this, the coaches couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Yile is the absolute core of Tottenham, and they don't want to see Yile have problems.

It's going to be a very bad thing.

"How's the training session booking?" Boas asked.

Assistant coach Michelle took out a document and read: "There are five clubs in total, and there are many teams that want to play training matches with us now. ”

"Training matches are mainly about running-in, giving more opportunities to come on as substitutes, Yile and Kante must be on the pitch and record their performance data at any time, and the two of them will be the key to Tottenham's impact on the Champions League."

"How to solve the problem between Ali and Higuain?"

Hearing this, Boas pondered for a long time and said: "Let Ali play as a substitute first, Higuain starts, Ali needs to beat, this guy is too indulgent." ”

"The Argentine hasn't been doing well in recent training, he doesn't like to pass.

Boas asked rhetorically; "What is his goal percentage?"

'It's good, we've scored five goals in training.'

"Who's assisting?"

The coach grinned: "It's all easy, and Yi's state is too good." ”

Villas-Boas was satisfied: 'He's always been in great form, he's the most consistent point for Tottenham. ”

"What about Kante's interception data?"

"A total of 39 interceptions, 30 interceptions were successful, and the interception rate was as high as 76%. The steal rate is also very high, his defensive ability in the midfield is very strong, every interception, steal, Yi can launch a wonderful counterattack, the two of them are simply terrifying. ”

Michelle said excitedly.

Every time he watched Yile and Kante cooperate, he was shocked.

N'Golo Kante's steal + Yile's attack.

It's as if they've put up a wall in Tottenham's midfield, and it's full of barrels.

One offense and one defense, it simply kicked the substitute team dizzy.

N'Golo Kante's arrival has given Tottenham a boost to the backline, which has strengthened Tottenham's slightly weaker defence.

N'Golo Kante in midfield + Alderved at the back, they are the heart of Tottenham's defence.

And after they intercepted the football, Yile was able to launch a beautiful counterattack, and this combination saw Michelle's heart surge.

Boas nodded in satisfaction and said, "What about the others?" ”

'Harry's goal rate has dropped but that's what we expected because we're spreading out a dense attacking line and Higuain is going to squeeze Kane's range of movement.

'Sun is still strong on the flanks and we see that he is quicker and he works well with Yi and he has scored four goals in training matches behind Higuain.

Son Heung-min did well in training matches thanks to his choice of holidays.

He chose to go to China for a vacation with Yi Le, which made him more and more proficient in eating cakes.

At this point, Michelle said: "I don't feel like Kane should be on the pitch with Son and Higuain, they have the same style, Higuain and Sun are more suitable for the tactics of flying on both wings, Torres is more suitable for them. ”

Tottenham are now in the adaptation for the squad.

The midfield is basically decided.

The midfield is dominated by Yile and N'Golo Kante, and the pivot of the backline is Alderved.

The front court presents a somewhat complicated situation.

A total of several strikers, Torres, Kane, Son Heung-min, Ali, Higuain.

There are different styles between these five people.

Higuain is already a bit of a lonely, and Son Heung-min's self-confidence has also risen after last season, and he doesn't want to give up the ball, so he shoots on goal most of the time.

This made Harry. Kane's centre-forward position has become awkward.

The two obliterate Harry. Kane's role, on the other hand, Torres is more suitable for this system.

At the very least, Harry. Kane and Higuain can't be on the pitch at the same time, and the two are easy to fight.

Boas pondered for a long time and said, "Try it in the warm-up game, and see the specific effect when the time comes." ”

"That's it for today's meeting, Michelle, you go and inform the players that it's going to be off in the afternoon."

......

On 15 July, Tottenham played their first warm-up game of the new season, beating Portuguese side Braga 3-0.

Yi Le's performance was extremely impressive, with one assist and two goals planned.

Higuain scored a goal, Son Heung-min scored a goal and Kane scored a goal after a long run.

Although the game was won, the effect was not visible, after all, the opposing team was weak and could not find out what the problem was.

On 18 July, Tottenham won 2-1 against Magsburg in a warm-up match.

In this game, Yile did not play, Eriksen played the position of playmaker, and he also cooperated well with Kante, but did not propose the dominance of Yile + Kante.

On 20 July, Tottenham beat Lucerne 5-0.

After two games of running-in, Yile and N'Golo Kante have become more and more skillful in their cooperation, and the Tottenham midfield dominated the whole game.

In this game, Tottenham had a whopping 79% possession.

The defence was also extremely strong, with Lucerne having just three shots on goal, one of which hit the woodwork, while the rest were pressed by Tottenham.

Gonzalo Higuain staged a big four, and the ghost shooter in front of goal was completely activated by Yile.

Yile's through ball maximizes the speed of Son Heung-min and Higuaj.

In particular, Higuain's movement is too smart, and he can take the initiative to create gaps under his clever movements, and Yile's sensitivity to gaps also makes Higuain ecstatic.

As long as he creates space and runs forward, the ball will definitely arrive.

It's as simple as eating and drinking, and Higuain is saying that joining Tottenham is the right choice.

The Argentine star is getting hotter and hotter under the crazy feeding of Yile.

In the three warm-up games, Tottenham's strong performance made the English media secretly call 'ferocious'.

Crazy Higuain! He was fully activated. 》

"Higuain staged a senior hire! 》

Tottenham's horror midfielders, Yile + Kante, they are second to none in the Champions League! 》

"China Yi continues the crazy state of last season, and the Tottenham Galaxy Battleship has been formed! 》

The kicker reported: "Tottenham's strong performance in the warm-up game is shocking, Tottenham's recruitment in the forward line is worthy of recognition, Higuain has been fully activated with the help of Yi, three games, six goals, an average of 2.0 goals per game, he may become the most terrifying goalscorer in the Premier League!" ”

"Tottenham's midfielder, when I looked at the game, I couldn't help but exclaim, 'What a monster midfield combination!'. In Tottenham's game against Lucerne, they had a high possession rate of 79 per cent and a very high steal rate, and they pressed Lucerne in midfield to keep them at bay. ”

'Last season, two of the best midfielders were Tottenham Hotspur commander Yi and Leicester City's defensive pivot N'Golo Kante, and now they are team-mates and their energy is astounding!'

'I'm sure Tottenham's midfield is unique in the Premier League and no team dares to compete with them for a normal rhythm. There is only one way to do this, to be kicked into a sieve! ”

Three more send!!

Ask for a commuter pass! Collection!
