Volume 1 Chapter 420 Truth on the Football Field
Some people say that if a team is compared to a person, then the head coach is equivalent to the head of this person, responsible for controlling people's words and deeds, and the players are the body and limbs of this person, an extension of the coach's will.
Ye Qiu has always paid attention to one thing when he controls the team, that is, the shaping of the team's willpower.
This kind of shaping cannot be completed overnight, it needs to be accumulated over time, it takes a long, long time to slowly carve, to slowly inculcate, and slowly cultivate, just like Ferguson took so long to create a Red Devils Manchester United, and Wenger also spent many years to create an Arsenal, it is the same truth.
Sometimes Ye Qiu feels that a team is like a family, and the players are the children in the family, and the head coach is equivalent to the parents, and the head coach's coaching of the team is like the parent's tutoring of the child.
There are many young parents who think that children are reasonable, think that children can make sense, but in fact they are wrong, teaching a child well is not about how much you say, or what you say, because they don't understand, they know how to read, see what you have done.
In the same way, for the players of a team, no matter how much your manager talks and talks a lot, it doesn't work, they are all professional players, many people have experienced the ups and downs of the professional game, and even many people are old fritters, they will not be impressed by your few words, but they will observe you through your every move on weekdays.
Some people say that all professional players like to play under a manager who has pursuits, ambitions and goals, but as a head coach, how do you make your players understand their pursuits, feel their ambitions, and see their goals?
By the way? No, by doing
So many times, Ye Qiu doesn't like to say, he doesn't like to go to some of the private lives of the players, he doesn't like to go to what the players are talking about when they are resting in the training base, what are they talking about, he gives the players respect, so that the players can feel his respect, and the players will naturally give you respect.
This world is fair, if you respect others, others will naturally respect them, and conversely, if you don't respect others, why should others respect you? This is the most basic thing, and it belongs to the principle that the vast majority of people living in this world agree on
Mutual respect, the next thing is to rely on every move on the training ground, rely on every word on the field, through this kind of detail, slowly and slowly instill their own ideas, their own pursuits, ambitions and goals, slowly and slowly instilled in their players, over time, they will understand you, they will understand you, they will follow you
Many people say that Tottenham Hotspur has risen since December, but Ye Qiu is more willing to believe that the team really completed the turning point in the game against Everton, that is, in that game, he completely conquered his players, he made all the players believe and see the never-say-die blood that flowed out of his bones.
That reversal will have a complete impact on Tottenham Hotspur for a long, long time to come
And this time, the team's situation is very, very difficult, and the pressure is very, very high now, but Ye Qiu believes that as long as he is not messed up, as long as he stands on the sidelines, he will be able to bring confidence to his players.
This kind of confidence, this kind of prestige, can not be established by a few words, but by a large number of subtle details that have accumulated over the past year.
If Ye Qiu could hear Andy Gray and Richard Keith's commentary, he would definitely introduce these two people as his confidants, because now he just wants to make Tottenham Hotspur a retracted, but clenched very tightly, and can throw a killer punch anytime and anywhere.
But just like the two sides in the boxing ring, to make such a punch, you have to be patient enough, wait, wait until the opponent is impatient and shows a flaw, you seize another fatal opportunity, give him a punch, and knock him down
And never think that when you are ready to go, you are very vulnerable, the other party can be unscrupulous, on the contrary, no one is stupid, no one does not know how to observe, as a professional player, everyone has the ability to observe the situation on the field, and when they find that no matter how they play, how they attack, how they pull, how they lure, when you are unmoved, they will be afraid, because they find that they are not only unpredictable about you, but also unable to control everything that happens on the court, They will smell danger.
Therefore, after losing the ball, Ye Qiu kept calling on the players to slow down the pace and try to control the ball, Chelsea wants to press up and attack, then let them press up, Tottenham Hotspur himself doesn't care how Chelsea plays, insists on controlling the ball more, using the ball to pull the opponent more, and using the ball to pull the opponent to run.
Someone once said that there is a truth on the football field, the ball will always run faster than people, but this truth actually has a second sentence, that is, the ball is always controlled by people, if you combine these two sentences into one, that is, the ball controlled by people will always run faster than people
Aren't you a good runner in Chelsea? I know that your midfield is a group of players who can run and rush, then you run and you rush, I just pass the ball, you have the ability to run, see if you run well, or I pass well, see which of the two of us can last longer, who can last to the end
But it must also be admitted that Chelsea's strangulation tactics of pressing and pressing in the midfield are indeed very powerful, and Tottenham Hotspur's possession of the ball is far from the level of Barcelona in the previous life, so as long as it is forced to no end, Tottenham Hotspur will pass out to play, and then re-press, reorganize, and re-possess the ball.
For Tottenham Hotspur's tactical play, Chelsea also does not have a very effective way, especially after a previous mistake, Ye Qiu pays great attention to the two fullbacks to the middle of the defensive protection, anyway, Chelsea's attack has no width, there are no regular wing players, so once Chelsea advances the ball to the 30-meter area, Tottenham Hotspur's fullbacks are close to the middle.
The change was effective in containing Chelsea's attack, forcing Chelsea to repeatedly rely on long-range shots to create threats, while Tottenham Hotspur played waves of counter-attacks every time they were in Chelsea to catch their breath, forcing Chelsea to press and defend again.
The chase and competition between the two sides made the scene look a little chaotic, Chelsea attacked a lot, but it was difficult to create a threat, while Tottenham Hotspur slowed down the pace every time they got the ball, and the slow and methodical possession organization penetrated, allowing Chelsea to press out and grab, and then suddenly speed up.
As the minutes passed, many of the fans in the stands at Stamford Bridge were very dissatisfied with Tottenham Hotspur's tactical play, feeling that this was the result of the opponent's too conservative approach, and Ye Qiu's team did not seem to want to attack aggressively.
'Chelsea are in a difficult situation right now' Andy Gray didn't show until the 36th minute after Tottenham made adjustments, "Beckham's position at the back, coupled with Cesc Fabregas and Tottenham Hotspur's conscious possession at the back, Chelsea had to limit it. ”
Richard Keith nodded after hearing this, "Yes, if you don't limit these two passers, Tottenham Hotspur's attack will be a threat, and even we noticed that once before, Alves on the right side pressed up for the first time, and immediately formed a two-on-one with Messi on the wing, and ate Ashley Cole hard." ”
'The sharing and passing of David Beckham and Cesc Fabregas forced the two of them to be able to link up with the ball as soon as Chelsea were a little slackening in their defence, and the midfield looked disjointed, while Franck Ribery, Lionel Messi and Ruud van Nistelrooy were all actively running for opportunities.
After listening to Andy Gray, he couldn't help but recall a scene, "This reminds me of the time when the Red Devils Manchester United was in front of the black wind, two forwards rushed everywhere in front, ran everywhere, looked for opportunities everywhere, and Beckham behind him was always able to give accurate passes, which made Beckham the Premier League's assist king for four consecutive seasons, including a total of 33 assists for the team in the 990 season, and Manchester United scored a total of 100 goals that season"
The Premier League's assists are different from other leagues, to put it simply, the Premier League's assists are calculated as the last pass before the score, which is called an assist, and this even includes some special circumstances, such as you pass the ball to a teammate, and the teammate takes the ball and then hits the goal after consecutive passes, which are counted as your assists.
Of course, there are other situations, such as making a penalty, passing the ball to a third party, or not entering the opponent's 30-meter area, which are counted as assists, but if it is in leagues such as Serie A and La Liga, the definition of assists is very strict, and the rules of Serie A are that if you pass the ball to a teammate, if the teammate passes again, it cannot be counted as an assist.
In short, there are very cumbersome and complicated regulations for assists, and each league has a different definition of assists, and even quite a few statistical agencies have different ways of calculating assists, so sometimes, in the same season, different statistical data centers can give a big difference in the assist data
But there is no doubt about Beckham's assists, or his ability to help the team produce goals, which is why there are many professionals around the UU years who feel sorry for Beckham, believing that both FIFA and French football magazines owe him a footballer.
Of course, there are many people who regret that he has unfortunately met superstars such as Figo, Zidane, and Rivaldo, relatively speaking, Beckham is indeed a very conspicuous type of player on the field, because he relies on passing, rather than their personal skills, whether it is from fan preferences or from various selections, the latter is obviously more popular.
And what Andy Gray is talking about is Manchester United's most effective and sharp attacking tactics when Manchester United's golden four midfielders.
Richard Keith has also commented on football for many years, and has been partnered with Andy Gray for many years, so he naturally knows what he is talking about, and then said: "When I was at Manchester United, Beckham was more active on the right side, which somewhat limited the threat of Beckham's long passes, and after arriving at Real Madrid, he changed to a midfielder, and after returning to Tottenham Hotspur, he continued to play in the middle, which made Beckham's long pass play the biggest threat." ”
Andy Gray nodded, "That's right, so we can see that Tottenham Hotspur's two wingers, Ribery and Messi, tried to pull apart Chelsea's defense as much as possible when they were preparing to assault in the front, because they were not afraid, as long as they pulled out the gap, Beckham and Cesc Fabregas could pass the ball in place, what am I afraid of?" Right? ”
"So, now it's creating a problem for Chelsea, pressing up, the physical exertion is too serious, but not pressing, and worrying about Beckham's long pass, it's really a very passive, difficult choice to make.
"Yes, so Mourinho hasn't changed much so far, he still looks confident in his defence, and he is also waiting to see if Tottenham Hotspur can really create a threat, maybe he really pulls Tottenham out and gets another chance to counterattack"
Richard Keith's words made Andy Gray laugh, that's how it is on the football field, risks and opportunities coexist, and when you attack the hardest, you are often the weakest defensively, which is an inevitability.
"We can all see that Ye Qiu is trying to reassure his players, he has been standing on the sidelines, not retreating, and has been reminding his players to stay calm and patient, and he himself does not seem to be affected by the goals conceded."
The clock finally jumped to forty minutes, but after Chelsea's goal, the game seemed to enter a kind of swamp, no one could get out of it, only to see the clock passing, but the pressure on the pitch was easily felt by everyone present.
But just when everyone felt a little irritated because of the pressure, especially as the first half of the game was approaching the end, the fans in the stands wanted to rest, and the players on both sides of the pitch had been running for nearly forty-five minutes, and their physical energy was a little too exhausted and became a little relaxed, Deco gave the ball to Ballack.
Ballack dribbled forward, Cesc Fabregas stood in front of Ballack, and the German midfielder kicked the ball directly to nearby Lampard, but at this moment, Mascherano, who had been lying in ambush behind Lampard all along, was like a cheetah, suddenly rushed forward, carried Lampard with his body, and snatched the ball in advance.
After stealing the ball, Mascherano immediately turned his back to block Lampard and protected the ball, while Beckham and Cesc Fabregas also chose to get close for the first time, but Fabregas also pointed to Ballack in front of him.
For a moment, Mascherano knew who to pass to, and immediately kicked the ball to Beckham, who was behind the retreat and faced himself.
As soon as Beckham stopped the ball, Drogba behind him was about to rush up as soon as possible, but the Englishman did not hesitate at all, and directly pushed the ball forward after stopping the ball.
This pass was not strong, the pass was on the right side, Messi turned his back to the direction of the attack, judged the landing point of the ball, blocked Ashley Cole with his body, and unloaded the ball to his right side with his right foot before the ball fell.
"Beautiful stop" Andy Gray exclaimed after hearing this, "Messi's foot is stable enough to stop the ball, the ball almost touches his instep without jumping, stop well, Ashley Cole has no chance to kick, can only follow the block." ”
But just when Messi cut to the middle with the ball, Alves on the right suddenly rushed up from behind, very fast, and very resolute, Messi attracted Ashley Cole as if he had eyes on his back, did not turn around at all, but passed the ball directly behind him.
Alves stopped the ball and walked forward after rushing up, and the whole action was very well connected, which was due to Messi's passing being very light and comfortable, so Alves did not slow down the whole speed.
Bolaruz, who had been behind Ashley Cole, was taken aback and rushed out of the penalty area desperately, and on the right side of the penalty area, in the face of the very fast Alves, the Dutchman directly fell to the ground and put a tackle
"Oops, danger," Andy Gray exclaimed again.
I saw that Alves was shoveled by Bolaruz's kick and shoveled on his back, and the whole person fell to the ground and rolled twice, and then happened to kneel on the turf, and at this time the referee did not hesitate to blow the whistle for the foul.
"Bolaruz's tackle is too dangerous, it should have been a yellow card," Andy Gray shook his head.
"If you give a red card, I think it makes sense, because just now Alves has obviously rushed up, so fast, Bolaruz is in a situation where there is no way to stop him, making such a ferocious tackle, I don't think there is a problem with giving a red card, and it can even be said that there is an obvious intention to infringe on the opponent's body."
The referee ran over and the fans at Stamford Bridge booed in unison, apparently putting pressure on the referee, and many were even shouting for a fake fall.
"It can be seen from the slow-motion replay that it was indeed a foul that tripped Alves, eh, the referee was clear, but only gave a yellow card and awarded Tottenham a free kick in a good position in front"
With Andy Gray's words, it can be seen that the players of Tottenham Hotspur seem to be a little dissatisfied with the decision and are complaining to the referee, which is actually a kind of technical pressure, and the Chelsea players are also complaining, and seem to be arguing about the fake fall of the Tottenham Hotspur players.
The referee directly separated the two waves and signaled that Tottenham Hotspur could come up and take the set-piece
David Beckham walked to the side of the pitch, took the ball from the sidelines, returned to the penalty spot, slowly bent down, put the ball on the spot, and then took a few steps back to wait for the Chelsea wall to blow the whistle.
'It's a position that's really not good for other free-kick takers, it's a bit out of the way, but we don't know what kind of option David Beckham will take, because he's scored a direct free-kick in that position.'
'This time he chose to come alone, and the rest of Tottenham Hotspur chose to prepare in the big box, will it be a direct free-kick? Or will David Beckham choose to play for his team-mates?
"I believe that now whether it is Hilario or Chelsea players, they are speculating."
