Chapter 9: The Reaction of the Fans
In a training match, Yile has already mingled with his teammates.
His gentle personality is always a mustache to be close to, and the sincere smile is also a plus, and of course, the most important thing is that Yile is very strong.
"Yi, you tell the truth, are you a badass?"
Break, Eric. Dale leaned over, poked Yile in the shoulder, and asked in a sly voice.
Yi Le held the energy drink bottle and said with a puzzled face: "Bad guy? Dell, what are you talking about? β
"Not really." Eric. Dier analyzed: "Look at it, you play so fiercely, and you're always teasing the mentality of the opposition backline, if it were me on the other side, I might have fought with you." β
Yi Le scratched his head and said, "I just want to open up the situation, that's how I played at Millwall." β
Millwall!
Eric. Dale finally found the reason, it turned out to be the tradition of that rogue team.
Yile's style of play is estimated to have been formed there, no wonder it is so fierce.
Eric. Dale couldn't help but glance at Yi Le, and felt a burst of scorn in his heart, who would have thought that this young man in front of him who looked cute and cute would be like a hungry wolf when he touched the ball.
The two chatted for a while, and Yi Le ran to Ali and Sun Xingmin.
These two guys were a little frustrated, obviously because they didn't perform well in the training match just now, and they were a little annoyed.
Seeing Yi Le coming over, Ali raised his head and complained, "Yi, why is your style of playing football so fierce." β
Yi Le was stunned, this question again.
Sun Xingmin also came over and said with a grudge on his face: "Yi, you will pass the ball to me in the future, right?" β
Yi Le smiled and said; "Of course!"
Sun Xingmin's frustrated mood finally improved a little.
The training matches have been played and the players continue to practice tactics, and the speed with which players integrate into the team's tactics in each transfer period has a direct impact on the results at the beginning of the season.
Therefore, in this regard, the coaching staff is very strict.
The forward line is led by assistant coach Michel himself.
In the backcourt, the physical trainer led the team to practice.
The midfield is a top priority for Tottenham and is led by manager Villas-Boas himself.
Tottenham Hotspur has a total of nine midfielders, including substitutes, of course, the most important of which are undoubtedly Elkeson, Dele. Ali, Yile, Eric. Dale, Thomas. Carol and Lemela.
Interestingly, Son Heung-min was also drawn up in the midfield line-up, but his position was more suited to the right wing.
Tactics classes were always a bit boring, and Boas instilled his tactical ideas in his disciples over and over again.
At the same time, he took the trouble to explain, and even pulled out the tactical board and continued to deduce.
Yi Le and others listened very carefully, their position is extremely demanding on tactics, as a midfielder who controls the tempo, if they can't understand the tactics, the whole team's style of play will change, so Boas's requirements are also very strict.
After explaining it over and over again, Yile finally understood something.
In layman's terms, it is traditional + pressing.
Tottenham played in a 4-5-1 formation, with four defenders, five midfielders and one striker.
The forward position is Harry. Kane, and the five midfield positions have not yet been determined at this stage, and they need to compete for posts, which also makes the midfield position a lot stronger.
Nobody wants to be a substitute.
During Boas's explanation, Elkeson and other midfielders were a little surprised.
The head coach is too partial to Yile.
After each explanation, he would look at Yi Le and ask, 'Do you understand?' If Yi Le nodded, he would turn the page directly, and if Yi Le showed ignorance, he would continue to speak, and he would not tire of it over and over again.
The other people who watched this scene were red-eyed, and at the same time felt a little sour in their hearts.
But there is no way to do this, the core of Boas's lineup is Yile, which has been booked before Yile's transfer.
He needs Yile to integrate quickly into the team and understand the tactics in order to bring out the best in them.
Of course, he will not ignore the feelings of others because of this, Yile wants to be the real core, which requires him to prove himself in the field, and Boas has no choice, after all, he does not want to provoke the fans or the dressing room conflict.
.......
Intense pre-match preparations have already begun, and Tottenham fans are also very concerned about the current state of the team.
They always feel that the team is very ambitious this season, and this is when the big money in the transfer market can be seen, they have brought in a lot of good players and are waiting to show their strength.
However, the team's training is closed, and the fans can't watch it up close, which is undoubtedly very disappointing for the fans who care about the team.
But the club's official website is always updated with some news.
One of the pieces of news has caused a lot of heated discussions among Tottenham fans.
β... Our head coach Mr. made a shrewd deal. We have brought in a world-class midfield maestro for Β£10 million! β
There's also a one-minute or so training session highlight below.
The highlights are divided into two phases, but the protagonist is the black-haired teenager, and fans know that this is the Chinese midfielder they brought in this year.
Fans are unfamiliar with Chinese football, but the passes in the highlights attract their attention.
A through ball from a distance of 30 meters!
A quick fork for a triangle offense!
These two images simply detonated the enthusiasm of the fans.
They're sure it's a way Tottenham have never played before!
"Is this really a ball that we kicked?"
"God! A 30-metre through ball, it's just beautiful, it's like Halley's Comet! β
βTiki-TakaοΌ Am I dazzled? β
"Can we kick Tiki-Taka too?"
"This is not Barcelona's passing and control style, just a simple triangle attack, but it can be played so beautifully, and China Yi's control in the midfield is really strong."
"It's Elkeson on the other side, right? He's blown up by the easy? β
"Yi's teammates are the main force, and of course Elkeson can't play."
'Elkeson's performance is there for all to see, he was very good last season, Yi was very talented, but he can't replace Elkeson's place.
"Man, Elkeson is a soft-footed shrimp, he can play the weak team, and the strong team is directly invisible!"
'If Yi wants to be a midfielder for Tottenham, he needs to train for a season or Elkeson leaves, and of course I don't think that's possible.
There was a heated debate among the fans, and the issue of Yile and Elkeson was discussed, but in the end, the number of people who supported Elkeson was still larger.
After all, Elkeson was affirmed last season, and Yile has yet to prove himself.
Of course, fans also welcome the addition of Yile, a Championship midfielder and assist king, they will not take Yile lightly.
However, Yile is still too young, and most of the fans' thoughts about Yile joining are to help Tottenham expand the depth of the bench.
