235 The Beginning of the Gun King (I)
Tottenham Hotspur was also a small peak in the past few years.
Especially in the past two years, Redknapp led Tottenham Hotspur, not only to qualify for the Champions League, but also to perform well in the Champions League. In particular, the successive elimination of the Milan duo was the most exciting moment of Tottenham's season. Even the whole European football world was watching Tottenham at the time.
That season, Tottenham had top players such as Van der Vaart, Modric, Lennon and Bale in midfield. It was also that season that many giants in European football began to pay attention to Tottenham's Bale, Tottenham's Modric and other players.
Even at that time, Tottenham's strength was claimed to be more than Arsenal's. At that time, Redknapp led Tottenham so well that Redknapp was once on the shortlist for the head coach of the England national team.
Especially at the beginning of this year, the call for Redknapp to become the head coach of the national team was very high.
But it was precisely because of this news that it affected the results of Tottenham, which was very strong at that time. At that time, Tottenham were not only third, but also ten points ahead of fourth-placed Arsenal. And Tottenham even had a chance to compete for the Premier League title at the time.
But it was the news that Redknapp was going to direct the England national team that affected Redknapp. Because Redknapp really has ideas about the position of national team manager. Therefore, when Redknapp was bothered by this matter, Tottenham went from a good position to fight for the Premier League title, and in the end they were overtaken by Arsenal.
The bigger problem is that Chelsea won the Champions League last season.
As a result, Chelsea automatically secured a Champions League spot, with the remaining three places in the hands of Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal. Although Tottenham finished fourth in the Premier League, they unfortunately lost the Champions League qualification.
This led Tottenham to fire Redknapp.
Of course, Tottenham fired Redknapp, in addition to the performance factor, more angry Redknapp was half-hearted. Vacillating between the national team manager and the Tottenham manager manager.
After leaving Redknapp, it was Villas-Boas, known as "Little Mourinho", who came to Tottenham this season.
Boas is an interesting person.
At a young age, he began to join Mourinho's coaching team and did some analysis. After that, he taught alone, and walked out of the steps of the madman. Became famous in Porto like Mourinho. After winning the treble in Porto, he became an overnight sensation in European football. Abramovich, who is eager for talent, paid tens of millions of pounds in liquidated damages to Porto in order to dig Boas. Eventually, Villas-Boas came to Chelsea and became Chelsea manager.
Many are expecting Villas-Boas to follow in the footsteps of Mourinho's success and become the second Mourinho. It's a pity that this is just a good idea for everyone, Boas is not Mourinho after all.
Boas, who became famous at a young age, has a very hard personality. In the face of a group of big players from Chelsea, they chose to go head-to-head.
He led Chelsea to play high pressing, making John Terry, known as the Premier League's No. 1 centre-back, a big colander. John Terry is not a centre-back who can turn around quickly and chase back.
John Terry is a top-class centre-back with excellent ball ability in the air and excellent frontal defensive ability. But Villas-Boas moved Chelsea's defence forward, leaving John Terry completely stupid. Terry's weakness of slow chasing. It is expanded indefinitely.
Those who are fast and have good technique, it is easy to break through Terry.
In the end, Chelsea's results were very poor, and Chelsea's big guys were collectively against Boas, so Boas finally left Chelsea. Now Tottenham have appointed Villas-Boas as manager.
Boas had one peculiarity about this person.
became famous at a young age, and became famous too early. So that his personality is very stubborn, and he does not adapt to the Premier League game, but let the team adapt to his own treatment. He didn't learn his lesson after Chelsea's slump and continued to play his high press at Tottenham.
This style of play is what Barcelona can play. Dortmund can play.
Tottenham?
Tottenham want to play high pressing, it's really nonsense.
After the game started, Boas was really fearless. At Arsenal's home turf, it was instead an onslaught on Arsenal. Speaking of which, Arsenal's players are no longer comparable to the top teams. But the best thing about Arsenal is Arsenal's steady play.
Because of Wenger's years of training, Arsenal's style of play has been the same.
So while Tottenham ran a lot up front, Arsenal weren't in a hurry. In terms of possession, Tottenham are really no match for Arsenal. Tottenham look like they're just playing lively. There are no real goal chances yet.
'Vermaelen, Vermaelen gave the ball to Arteta. Luka Modric steps forward, Arteta makes a long pass! ”
Arteta was weak defensively. But as a Spanish player, the technique is still very good. After all, Arteta is a player from Barcelona's academy La Masia. Arsene Wenger brought in Mikel Arteta as a central midfielder and was responsible for Arsenal's tempo.
Arteta, as a controlling midfielder, is still relatively poor defensively.
Tottenham are running aggressively and the pressure on Arteta is high. Therefore, this time, after Arteta got the ball, he did not control the ball, but directly made a long pass to the left side.
'Mikel Arteta, it's a bit big. It was difficult for Jin Ming to pick it up. ”
Under the interference of Modric, Arteta did not pass the ball well. Originally, this kind of ball should have been passed to Jin Ming's feet. Even if it wasn't directly delivered to Jin Ming's feet, the ball couldn't fly too high.
But this time the ball was not very good, high and floating.
Arteta's pass was a bit big, and Jin Ming wanted to catch it, but found that the ball flew too high. It's not easy to stop the ball.
Kyle. Walker defends Kim Ming.
Kyle. Walker was the Premier League's Rookie of the Year last season and, like Jin Ming, has risen very quickly as a player in the '90s. has become the main right-back of Tottenham, and the call to enter the national team is also very loud.
He had heard of Jin Ming's speed.
Therefore, he stared at Jin Ming very nervously. But when he saw Arteta's ball, he relaxed. Because this ball is difficult to stop. It's not just the height of the ball, but there is no tacit understanding between Kim Ming's run and Arteta's pass, and after the ball has a small arc, the ball falls behind Kim Ming instead.
Kyle. Walker smiled relaxedly. Because there was no need to be so nervous, it was a typical misguided pass.
But as soon as his smile appeared, his mouth immediately opened wide in the next second.
"Jin Ming, this ball is going to fly out. Jin Ming, Jin Ming's choice was very unexpected. Jin Ming passes the ball with his back! ”
The narrator screamed.
Because the ball is too high. It was already difficult for Jin Ming to stop the ball with his feet. Coupled with the ball flying a little back, Jin Ming has few options. If Jin Ming chooses, the most he should do is turn around and raise his feet, and it is estimated that he will be able to stop the ball.
But once the ball is stopped like this, the ball is basically not dangerous. It also loses the effect of counterattacking.
But Jin Ming chose a very unexpected move. Jin Ming stopped, but instead of turning around, he took a step back and touched the ball with his back. Arteta had a bit of a big pass and the power was not very good.
After the ball hit Jin Ming's back, it immediately bounced. Bounced to the feet of Cazorla, who came to pick him up.
Jin Ming didn't think about stopping the ball at all, but passed the ball directly.
The way chosen was quite unexpected. It turned out to be a back pass.
"It's Ronaldinho's forte. It seems that Jin Ming has also learned. ”
The narrator shouted.
As the commentator said, in the past two decades, it has been Ronaldinho who has played this kind of stopping and passing. When Ronaldinho swept European football at Barcelona, he liked to play this kind of action.
After Jin Ming came to Arsenal, what he learned the most so far is the technical aspect.
Although Arsenal players are a little worse, they are better than Schalke. Moreover, the technical content of Arsenal's style of play is very high, and Arsenal players have to learn technology. Even if the Arsenal players are not strong, their small skills are still very good. Jin Ming is here within a few months. I also learned some personal skills.
This kind of fancy action, Jin Ming has seen it in the video before. Especially Ronaldinho's excellence, Jin Ming has seen it.
This is also the first time I have used it. If it weren't for the right situation, Jin Ming wouldn't have taken such a pass.
But it works very well. The ball was accurately passed to Cazorla's feet.
"Cazorla. Cazorla's direct pass! ”
After Cazorla got the ball, he didn't hesitate at all. It was a direct pass, a pass between Gala and Walker. And with Cazorla's direct pass, Jin Ming also immediately accelerated.
Walker was stupid.
He thought the ball was either out of bounds. Either Jin Ming will turn around and receive the ball. Unexpectedly, Jin Ming passed the ball with his back, and then immediately accelerated and flew past Walker. Walker was completely stunned for a moment, because Jin Ming's ball was too sudden. Walker is also known for his speed.
But it was because of his momentary relaxation. In addition, he was stunned for a moment, so after Jin Ming got faster, it was completely too late for Walker to catch up with him again. Originally, his speed was not as good as Jin Ming, and when he turned around and was about to accelerate, Jin Ming had already thrown him five or six meters away. By the time he accelerated to chase back, Jin Ming had already pulled him away by almost ten meters.
"Jin Ming, Jin Ming got the ball. Jin Ming's speed is very fast, and Jin Ming wants to enter the restricted area directly. ”
Tottenham's high pressing, what is needed is for Tottenham's defensive line to move forward. Because the backline and the midfield have to keep a certain distance. Since the front court is pressing from a high position, the back line must of course also move forward with the midfield. Otherwise, if the backline and the midfield are too far apart, then the midfield will be very empty.
Therefore, when Jin Ming broke through Walker, Tottenham's defenders were relatively high. So when Jin Ming accelerated and ran into the penalty area, Tottenham's defenders had no time to defend Jin Ming.
"Jin Ming, Jin Ming entered the forbidden area. Loris, Loris walked out of the door. Jin Ming, Jin Ming smashed the ball with his left foot, and Jin Ming shook off Lloris. ”
"Empty door! Empty door! ”
"Jin Ming, shoot!"
Although Jin Ming entered the penalty area from the side, none of Tottenham's defenders followed, and there was no one around Jin Ming. Jin Ming directly became a single knife. Facing Lloris, Jin Ming smashed the ball with his left foot, and then accelerated to the right.
In a few clicks, Loris was completely shaken off.
A player with strong explosiveness and fast speed like Jin Ming can easily throw off the goalkeeper as long as he accelerates in the face of the goalkeeper. For speed players, it is very easy to get past the goalkeeper. After throwing off the goalkeeper, there was only a big empty door in front of Jin Ming. At this time, Jin Ming's choice was very simple, and he directly pushed the ball in.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
"One to zero, one to zero. With Jin Ming's goal, Arsenal is already leading Tottenham 1-0. This goal, Jin Ming's shot from the beginning of the back pass to the final shot was flawless. This is already Jin Ming's eleventh goal in the Premier League this season, and eleven goals in nine rounds, Jin Ming's goal efficiency is too high. ”
"Villas-Boas's high pressing, Tottenham's defense is too poor. Arsenal has speed players like Jin Ming and Walcott, and Tottenham can't prevent it at all. Boas was too stubborn. He's been a failure at Chelsea and he's not changed at Tottenham. ”
The narrator criticized Boas.
Because of Villas-Boas, John Terry went from being a top defender in the Premier League to a big colander in the Premier League. Now Tottenham's backline is not as strong as Chelsea's, and the defense is even worse. (To be continued......)
