Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Intense Resentment of the Parisian Fans
Paris Saint-Germain head coach Unai. Emery is uncomfortable, and he can imagine how he will be criticized when he returns to France.
Unai. Unai Emery was a former Spanish footballer, a goalkeeper whose philosophy was close to that of Spanish possession.
But the root of all possession is the midfield!
Unai. Unai Emery's coaching philosophy is to focus on the midfield struggle, and the teams he has coached have all played with the midfield as the core.
And in these two games, they met the nemesis.
Tottenham Hotspur, who are equally tough in midfield.
In some ways, Tottenham's midfield is a notch better than Paris's.
It was also under this restraint that his Paris Saint-Germain played extremely passively. Unai Emery understands the key, but he simply can't find a way to limit Tottenham, which is already a problem at the European level.
Unai. Unai Emery rubbed his temples incessantly, his face helpless, this game was really going farther and farther.
......
Villas-Boas is also looking to the Parisian manager.
For Unai. Emery, Boas also did some research.
The game between coaches needs a certain amount of data support, and he has checked a lot of Unai. Unai Emery's results, but they all reflect a problem.
Unai. Unai Emery is only suitable for some 'poor' teams, that is, teams that are financially tight, and this is a 'pragmatist' manager.
Of course, this isn't a bad thing, but there's a problem with most of these coaches.
That is to lead the weak team to produce results, and with the strong team, they often cannot be satisfied.
Paris has made a big addition to the signings in recent seasons. Unai Emery has a variety of options but still has this line-up.
In fact, as far as Boas is concerned, Neymar's addition to this lineup is really not big, and it is even dispensable.
Verratti, Rabiot, Neymar, three attacking midfielders, Unai. Emery really dared to do that.
Tottenham are not the kind of team that pursues a flashy style of play, and the Premier League style can rigidly restrain these three attacking midfielders.
If Boas were to make the choice, he would definitely add one or two defenders in the midfield to do the dirty work, which would not only provide Neymar with a certain amount of help, but also serve as a defensive buffer in the midfield.
Otherwise, directly abandon Neymar and follow the previous forward core play style of Paris.
Relying on Verratti and Rabiot to support the midfield, but the three attacking midfielders can only be said to be Unai. Emery was overthinking, too idealistic.
Now facing Tottenham, PSG's midfield is divided and the three players cannot get in touch with each other, let alone cooperate.
Villas-Boas understands that if he continues to play like this, the game will be over.
Eventually, the whistle blew at the end of the first half.
The score between the two sides was 1-0, and Tottenham entered the second half with a certain advantage.
......
In the locker room, Boas walked in with his hands clapped and shouted:
"Quiet!"
The noisy dressing room is quiet, Villas-Boas's authority in the dressing room is now enough, and with Tottenham's excellent results, no one is questioning his managerial quality.
Villas-Boas walked to the middle and said: "In the first half, we played well, in the second half there will be no changes. ”
Hearing this, Higuain breathed a sigh of relief, and Sun Xingmin on the side lowered his head in disappointment.
Boas saw it all.
In fact, in terms of the current state, Son Heung-min is much hotter than Higuain's state.
However, Son Heung-min has played too often recently, which is easy to cause problems for his fitness, so it was decided to let Son Heung-min rest for a while.
Of course, this Boas will not tell Son Heung-min, he wants to keep the players in a competitive state at all times.
And the next quarterfinals began, and every game was a tough battle, and it was not sloppy.
Tottenham had to deal with it at its best.
Assistant coach Michelle, on the other hand, is a little worried.
Yesterday's shocking turnaround in Barcelona is still fresh in his mind, and he feels that Villas-Boas needs to be cautious, in case they are really overturned by Paris Saint-Germain, they have no place to cry.
Hearing Michelle's concern, Boas laughed instead.
"Man, do you really think Paris is going to make any threatening adjustments?"
Boas blinked and smiled.
Michelle was confused and said: "I'm sure, the last game and this first half have proven that this lineup is not working for us, Unai. Emery will certainly be looking for change. ”
“SO?” The old god Boaz is in the way.
Michelle felt like he had to explain the possibility of dangerous development to Boas,
"So, they'll put in a couple of defensive midfielders and then... And then...."Michelle's expression became more and more strange as she said this... Like, no!
Seeing Michelle's somewhat confused appearance, Boas couldn't help laughing and said, "Man, it's us who has the advantage now." ”
"It's their strongest attacking line-up, and if you put it in a defensive midfielder, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse? It's them who are in a hurry now, they need to score! So, after the first half, PSG has already lost! They have no possibility of turning the tables! ”
"This ....." Michelle was a little stunned.
"Besides." Boas shrugged his shoulders and said, "Even if they adjust their tactics and send in a defensive midfielder, do you think we will be afraid of them?" If you think about the games that Tottenham have played in these two seasons, the attacking and defensive midfield line-up, that's what Tottenham are best at dealing with, and we have a lot of experience. ”
"So, after missing the first half, Paris has no chance of winning the game."
Boas smiled and said, "Man, we're in the cut!" ”
......
At the start of the second half, PSG made a change, replacing Verratti with a defensive midfielder.
But instead of solving the problem, it exacerbated the collapse of Paris Saint-Germain.
Without Verratti's tandem, Neymar could not support the midfield, Rabiot could not find a position, and the entire midfield was directly disconnected.
Tottenham launched a frantic attack from the first minute.
In the 68th minute, Yi Le hit the back with a cold kick, Higuain drove straight in and crossed to assist Harry. Kane scored again.
Tottenham 2:0 Paris Saint-Germain.
This is bad news for Paris, who no longer see any desire to qualify.
The whole of Paris Saint-Germain was kicked stupidly by Tottenham
On 80 minutes, Yi Le felt good on his feet, he tried a wave of long-range shots, and the concentrated crossbar bounced off. Ali cleverly followed up and shot again.
3:0。
In the stands, the Parisian fans who accompanied the team were silent.
They looked blankly at the arena, and their hearts were faintly relieved.
This game hit them hard.
This season is special for Parisian fans, who spent 200 million yuan to bring back Neymar, hoping to perform well in the Champions League, but who would have thought that it would bring them pain relief again and again.
As big as the expectations, there are as many disappointments as there are.
The Parisian fans' eyes were red, and they looked at the absolute focus of the stadium.
If you say that in the first round, Tottenham won as a team.
Then this game is dominated by Yi Le.
Through this match, their determination to buy Yile was once again intensified.
At this time, both the Parisian fans present and the local Parisian fans watching the broadcast on TV were all staring at the figure wearing Tottenham's No. 21 shirt.
The only focus of this game.
This player they love and hate.
A series of resentments belonging to the Parisian fans almost permeated the entire stadium, and they looked at Yile faintly.
'We swear that next season will definitely bring you to the Parc des Princes. ’
'We're going to strip you of your current jersey, put you in a Parisian shirt and let you assist us!' ’
'No! You don't just have to assist! You're going to score a goal! Hum! ’
