Chapter 60 The FA Cup Begins
On the second day, everyone felt a little different.
Elkeson, who had been training as a substitute midfielder, came to the main team's side.
But his position changed a bit and he moved to the position of the forward midfielder.
But no one felt abrupt.
Professional football is like this, the weak eat the strong, and the strong come to the top!
Elkeson is indeed a good playmaker, but compared to the conning tower of Yile, he is not much worse.
Elkeson's technique is very good, with a balanced left and right foot, dribbling and breakthrough is also a good skill, and he has a good shooting ability.
That gave Tottenham an extra point of fire from outside the box.
itself, Harry. Kane, Son Heung-min, Dele. Ali's three points have already caused a headache for the Premier League team, and now the addition of Elkeson is a disaster.
......
Villas-Boas stood on the sidelines and he admired the perfect line-up.
Aggressive and powerful front!
A midfielder who is both offensive and defensive!
Solid backcourt!
Harry, Son and Ali have a single striker and they have a good nose in front of goal.
When the three arrows entered the opposition penalty area, Boas could imagine the expressions of the opposing players.
The midfield aspect is a top priority!
In Tottenham's squad, the forward line seems to be strong, but it is the midfield that really dominates.
The midfielder, with Yile as the core, will continue to deliver shells to the front.
The midfielder is very attacking and has a good pressing ability.
In the past, in the midfield, because Yile was not good at shooting, most of the time the striker completed the shooting task.
But now with Elkeson, they can get around that point and finish the shot themselves when the three arrows up front are in trouble.
It can be said that Tottenham is now invincible!
Freeze the forward line and then the midfielder can step up.
The rhythm of the midfield?
Many teams have tried this approach, but the entire Premier League team has almost always been the one who has been blown out against Tottenham's midfield line-up.
As for going deep into the hinterland of the other party, freeze Yile!
Boas wished they had done it!
If you want to freeze Yile, you can't do it alone.
With a two-man sandwich defense, it is necessary to waste the opponent's two defensive forces, and at the same time, the opponent's back line must press forward into the auxiliary defense.
It's a way to fight for your life.
Once they failed to limit Yile!
Well, sorry, a deadly through ball will tear through their defence!
Such Tottenham!
How to lose?
Boas couldn't help but think a little inflated.
Of course, there is also a problem, and that is the relatively weak backline.
But it's also relative.
Compared to Tottenham's flashy attacking line, the backline looks a little lagging behind.
But in the Premier League it is still a first-class backline.
If you want to put pressure on Tottenham like this, then you have to be the seeded teams that play in the Champions League.
For example, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, etc...
As for these stinky fish and rotten shrimp in the Premier League, Boas sneered.
......
In the training ground, Yi Le found that when he played football, he was much more relaxed.
Elkeson's improvement to the entire midfield lineup was immediate.
He was also the heart of the playmaker, his passing and some tactical intentions were very clear, and in some ways he even acted as a second brain for Tottenham.
Of course, Elkeson's biggest role is to assist Yile in midfield.
Elkeson's technique and movement are very delicate, but his problem is mentality.
When facing a strong team, you will always be led by the nose, entangled in this and that, and in the end nothing can be done.
But since he completely abandoned the position of the core rhythm point, he instead kicked away.
When he was fully focused on the offense and not distracted to control the tempo, it was like Elkeson had been reborn.
"Beautiful! Chris! ”
Elkeson fired a shot into the centre circle and scored with an accurate hole into the top right corner, which made Yi Le can't help but shout praise.
Elkeson was also smiling, and he gave Yi Le a thumbs up, signaling that the straight stick just now was amazing!
Yi Le also gave him a smile in return, and the two of them released their suspicions.
Feeling the thrill after the goal, Elkeson couldn't help but feel that such a deployment was actually... Pretty good.
Giving up the rhythm of the midfield, Elkeson felt like he had unshackled and relaxed.
"Yi, your straight ball bat is amazing, when will you teach me?"
Elkeson took the initiative to find Yile and said with a smile.
Yi Le smiled innocently and nodded, "Okay, then you have to teach me to shoot too." ”
Hearing this, Elkeson actually joked and laughed at himself: "Yi, do you want to drive me away from the position of the front waist again?" ”
Yi Le waved his hand again and again, and said: "No, no, no, that position is not suitable for me, a forward who can't shoot?" ”
Elkeson also froze for a moment, then laughed out loud and said, "I kind of like you." ”
Watching the two of them talking and laughing, three pairs of resentful eyes did watch this scene.
"Chris has a good relationship with Yi?"
Dele. Ali asked sourly.
Sun Xingmin said in a deep voice: "No! It's not good at all, I feel like I'm dreaming, Ali, you hit me. ”
Bang!
Before Ali could react, Harry on the side. Kane slapped Son Heung-min on the back hard.
This slap was extremely loud, almost making Sun Xingmin jump up in pain.
"Harry, what are you doing?!" Sun Xingmin jumped straight to his feet in pain.
Harry. Kane looked serious and said, "It doesn't seem to be a dream, guys, I feel like we're going to unite and belong to our front!" ”
Dele. Ali and Sun Xingmin were slightly stunned, then nodded solemnly, and said in unison: "That's right!" ”
......
Yi Le didn't know about the conversation of his 'jealous' front trio.
He felt that the change was good.
The midfielder has added a firepower point, which makes his passing path more complicated.
And Elkeson is not only able to shoot, but also to organize attacks.
If Yile falls into the embarrassing situation of a two-man defense again, Elkeson can drop back to help him share the playmaking pressure, which is equivalent to the second core point.
In this way, Yile played more and more easily.
Yile fully feels the improvement brought by the strong team to himself, and he is happy to do it.
Villas-Boas promoted a line-up that maximised Yile's passing threat.
The whole team is fighting for the initiative in the midfield for Yile, and once Yile gets the initiative in the midfield, he will also feed back to the team's sharp offensive rhythm.
That's the pace of Tottenham today!
After New Year's Eve, the FA Cup is coming.
But in this cup competition, Yile will not start, and his greater role is to deter.
He'll be on the bench and won't join the pack until the team is in trouble.
The Europa League group stage and more than a dozen rounds of league games were played, which was a great test for Yile's physical fitness.
Ninety minutes of play, Yi Le is not an iron man, he also needs to rest.
