To be precise, Mazari debuted at the same time as Ye Qiu.

In the 99/00 season, when Ye Qiu was sidelined by Ajax's youth team, Mazzari was already coaching Napoli in Serie B at the time, where he was an assistant coach and assisted Ulivieri, and after several years of experience as an assistant, he began to manage a team in the Italian second division for the first time in the summer of 2001.

Ye Qiu's opportunities are much better than Mazari's, but more importantly, Mazari missed some opportunities, but Ye Qiu seized some opportunities, so although the two debuted at the same time, there is a huge gap in their current status and influence.

In a 1-1 draw at home to Tottenham Hotspur, Mazzarri was not happy with the result and it would have been better if it had been 1-0, but an away goal gave Tottenham the initiative.

How to play at White Hart Lane Stadium?

When Mazzari left Italy for London, he made no secret of the fact that he would play a counter-attack away from home, "No team dares to play against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane, we have to find the best way for us to qualify for the away game!" ”

Compared to other managers, Mazzari did not play a smoke bomb this time, he did put out defensive counter-attacking tactics in this game, and a bit of a stubborn posture, because he knew very well that Tottenham Hotspur's strength was not trivial.

Although he had just fought hard with Manchester United, Ye Qiu did not carry out a large-scale rotation in this game, and the front trident and the midfield iron triangle did not move, but the right side of the backfield was changed to Kyle? Walker starts.

At the beginning of the game, Tottenham Hotspur took advantage of their home advantage and launched a fierce attack on Napoli.

Mazzarri clearly prepared for Tottenham's opening attack, and Napoli put on a typical Italian defense after the opening, reflecting the defensive solidity of the Serie A team, even if Tottenham Hotspur played a fierce attack, but Napoli still held the goal.

After 20 minutes of attack, there was no effect, Tottenham Hotspur had to take a breath, and Napoli took this opportunity to start a counterattack, which also reflects the strength of this team, at least in recent years, Napoli's results have become better and better, it is definitely not a coincidence and luck, this is a team full of resilience.

The biggest attraction of Napoli in this game is undoubtedly the Serie A team's number one midfielder Hamsik.

Many people think that Hamsik is very similar to Nedved, he has the tenacious fighting spirit and relentless will of the Czech iron man, and he is also very hard working and committed in the game, but watching him play always feels that there is a little bit of spirituality.

Of course, he still has a lot of room for development, especially with the increase in age and the accumulation of experience, there may be some transformations gradually, making himself among the top teams, but from the current point of view, he still does not have the strength to lead the whole team alone.

Things are not going well on Tottenham's side either, with the players generally tired after a tough game against Manchester United just four days ago, and Cavani was inactive in this game against a team like Napoli, especially as the team's arrowhead.

At half-time, the team's analysis team reported that Cavani and Ramsey all pointed to Cavani and Ramsey, and that the team's scoreless attack in the first half had a lot to do with these two players.

It's not that they are not good or what, the main thing is that they are too tired and in poor condition, which drags down the team.

But Ye Qiu still didn't make a substitution at halftime, for this, Mauro? Tasotti and Roland? Shepas and others were very supportive, for the simple reason that the midfield substitution was not only a weakening of the manager's authority, but also a blow to the motivation of the players.

Unless the first half was so bad and there was a disastrous scene, who would make a substitution at half-time?

But Ye Qiu has been actively preparing since the second half, and he has already prepared a replacement.

At this time, in the fifty-eighth minute of the game, Napoli fouled the backfield, Pirlo took an indirect free kick, causing chaos in the Napoli penalty area, Messi was a big ghost, grabbed the ball, got a chance to get up, but was saved by the goalkeeper, Ribery missed the shot, 1:0!

This goal made Tottenham Hotspur breathe a sigh of relief, but after the goal, Ye Qiu made two substitutions, replacing Cavani with veteran Raul and Ramsey with Pogba, which not only took into account the team's tactical needs, but also took care of the players' emotions.

…………

With Tottenham Hotspur's outstanding performance, Vidal has now gradually stepped into the ranks of Europe's first-class stars, and he has begun to become the object of all fans' talk, and after a season of performance, many people's impression of him has changed a lot. Toure II, transformed into what is now Vidal I.

As Ye Qiu said when he announced the introduction of Vidal in the summer, Vidal and Yaya? Toure is not the same at all.

Sometimes, Vidal will be very glad that he chose Tottenham Hotspur, because it turned out that he made the right choice and was very wise, and at Tottenham Hotspur, he not only got a boost in fame and influence, but also in terms of strength.

Let's be honest, being teammates with so many top superstars can force you to keep improving.

For the current midfield, whether it is Vidal or Ramsey, Ye Qiu will give tasks at the offensive and defensive levels, such as Vidal, in this game he not only has to contribute to the attack, but also pay attention to protecting Pirlo, helping to defend the ribs, and at the same time limiting Hamsik, the core of Napoli's midfield.

The tasks seem to be a lot, but in fact, except for the focus on restricting Hamsik, the others are the tasks of every game of Vidal, there is nothing special about it, and it is not difficult to restrict Hamsik, in Ye Qiu's words, as long as you perform well, you will naturally suppress him.

Three times, this is the number of times Vidal broke the ball from the feet of Hamsik, he himself remembers it very clearly, twice in the first half, once so far in the second half, Hamsik also fell into a slump, there was no big improvement in performance, and even began to subconsciously hide when he saw Vidal.

But Vidal also has to fight with Hamsik, he hides on the right, Vidal follows to the right, hides on the left, Vidal also follows to the left, and even when he retreats, Vidal follows the forward press, Pirlo also moves forward, Tottenham Hotspur's entire defense also presses, and Napoli becomes more passive.

It really made Hamsik angry and had a toothache, but he couldn't do anything about it!

In addition to Hamsik, Vidal made five tackles in this game, all of which were successful, which is also a very good defensive statistic, and he also performed well in attack, with a long-range shot in the first half almost scoring, and in the second half, after the team made two substitutions, Ye Qiu began to ask him and Pogba to expand their range of activities.

Napoli's fitness is running out!

It has been said that Tottenham's most powerful weapon is not their attacking means or the quality of their players, but their physicality, especially this season, which has become even more evident.

After the opening, directly launch a rush attack, use the attack to suppress the opponent, and then properly maintain a fast pace and high pressure posture, consume the opponent's physical energy, and if you can score, it is naturally the best, even if you can't score, it can also keep consuming the opponent.

Usually after 60 minutes in the second half, the opponent's physical strength has been depleted to a certain extent, although Tottenham Hotspur has also consumed a lot, but their physical strength is indeed better, and the overall strength is also stronger, so often after 60 minutes, they can also use the opponent's physical decline to play a powerful attack.

Of course, this time is more of a war of willpower.

Napoli's defense was indeed very tight, even to the point of stubborn defense, but they quickly showed their flaws.

Expanding his range of motion, Vidal often switched positions, and this time when he saw Ribery on the left touchline after receiving Marcelo's through ball and pulling the Napoli right-back out, Vidal pointed in front of him and rushed forward, while Ribery slashed a diagonal ball into the box.

Vidal received the ball in the left corner of the penalty area and brought it forward into the box, while Napoli centre-back Paul? Cannavaro followed him, and the Italian central defender, who was slightly taller than his brother Cannavaro, was also very good, following him tightly, bending over, like a cheetah staring at its prey, ready to make a move.

Vidal did not rush to break through, but slowed down and raised his head, he just glanced at it and noticed the whole situation in front of him, Cavani attracted two defenders in the box, Messi also moved to the top of the arc of the penalty area to receive the ball, but he was followed by a defender, Pogba rushed from behind Messi to the right side of the penalty area, while raising his hand to ask for the ball.

At this time, he has too many options, he can pass to Messi, he can also cross to Cavani, or find Pogba at the back point, all of which can create a lethal threat, and Paul? Cannavaro also seems to think that Vidal should be able to pass the ball, and even his positioning is a bit biased towards blocking Vidal's pass to Messi.

Should I say, Paul? Cannavaro's choice was not too much of a problem, although he gave Vidal the angle of the shot, but the angle of the shot was small, and the goalkeeper De Sanctis was already in place, blocking the angle, and if Vidal forced a shot, the goalkeeper would basically be able to save the ball.

And Paul? Cannavaro doesn't think Vidal will force his feet in this position, and if it were Ribery, Cavani or Messi, he wouldn't dare to think like that.

But it was only a split second, Vidal reacted, he felt that there was a chance, because Napoli's defense was clearly biased in favor of Messi, and they didn't dare to let the Argentines take the ball at the top of the arc of the penalty area, which was almost fatal, so facing Paul? Cannavaro's one-on-one defense, Vidal first made a feint to step on a bicycle to break through the middle, but then another pedaled to the bottom.

Two feints to pedal a bike in a row, Paul? Cannavaro was deceived by Vidal into blocking the middle and magnifying the hole between himself and the goal, while Vidal's second bicycle was to smash the ball and go down. After Cannavaro pulled out half of his body, he didn't hesitate much and fired a powerful left-footed volley.

The whole process happened in a second or so, and everyone may not even realize that Vidal is actually pedaling, they just don't know what is going on, and the Napoli central defender is shaken by Vidal, and then the Chilean's powerful left-footed volley is done in one go, without the slightest drag.

And what's even better is that shooting at this angle of diagonal to the goal often has a higher success rate in the far corner, especially when hitting a high shot, but Vidal's kick is in the near corner, that is, hitting the position above the goalkeeper's head, and it is a way to climb up the goal.

In the end, the ball almost grazed the angle between the column and the crossbar and hit the top net, and it was a killer shot in the upper left corner of the goal!

So, even though Napoli goalkeeper De Sanctis had reacted and his body made a save, Vidal's entire dribble and shot was unexpected, and he even threw himself to the ground rather than high into the spot.

After the goal, Vidal excitedly rushed out of the Napoli penalty area, 2:0, he scored with a very wonderful dribble to break through and expand the score for Tottenham Hotspur!

And this goal almost completely condemned Napoli to death!

Tottenham Hotspur was aware of this, so they rushed to the outside of the stadium to celebrate, and a group of people hugged tightly on the sidelines, shouting loudly to the White Lily fans in the stands, which received a wave of cheers and applause from the fans.

After a two-goal lead, Tottenham Hotspur was clearly in control of the victory, and the Napoli players also suffered a heavy blow, but Tottenham Hotspur did not intend to stop there, but continued to launch a fierce attack on Napoli.

Raul turned around and plugged straight behind him after a retreat to get the ball, Messi slanted into the left side of the goal in the big penalty area, and after the successful anti-offside position, he took the ball and turned around with his left foot and shot low, breaking through Napoli's goal again, 3:0!

And when the game reached the eighty-second minute, it was Raul who retreated with his back to take the ball, turned away from the defender, and quickly rushed forward with the ball, while Ribery formed a staggered with Raul, Raul took the ball to the left to attract the attention of the defender, and Ribery cut to the right.

At the right time, Raul split the ball with his left foot in front of Ribery, and the French Scarface entered the penalty area, and the right foot directly volleyed the ball without stopping, and the ball hit the Napoli goal again, 4:0!

Brace!!!

Ribery rushed to Raul excitedly, it turned out that Ye Qiu and the coaching staff's decision was right, in the face of the Italian team, especially Napoli's strict defense of the midfield, Raul is indeed better than Cavani, at least he is much better than the Uruguayans in terms of flexible positioning, as well as ball handling and connection.

Of course, it's not that Cavani is not strong, the Uruguayan center is already one of the top center forwards today, but his characteristics are indeed not good at doing this kind of delicate work, he looks like a fierce Zhang Fei, how can he do this kind of needlework?

As the head coach, Ye Qiu made a mistake in the starting lineup in this game, he hesitated between Cavani and Raul and chose Cavani, but after the break, he realized his mistake.

This is the way this world is, everyone makes mistakes, the key is that some people quickly realize their mistakes and correct them, while some people don't correct their mistakes after knowing them, but the saddest thing is the last one, they never know that they are making mistakes.

1:1 away, 4:0 at home, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Napoli, currently ranked fourth in Serie A, with a total score of 5:1 over two legs, and successfully got the ticket to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

After this game, many players of Tottenham Hotspur were praised like a tide, especially the main midfielder Vidal, who was praised by Ye Qiu after the game, believing that he was the most comprehensive and one of the best midfielders he had ever seen, but he also said that Vidal still has a lot of potential to explore.

At the age of twenty-four, this is not playing FM Football Manager, Vidal is currently quite good in attack and defense, both physically and technically, and all he needs to improve is awareness.

It should be said that the Chilean already has the foundation to become a top midfielder, and the key depends on his next progress.

However, after a big score to eliminate Napoli, Tottenham Hotspur were held to a 1-1 draw by David Moyes' Everton at Goodison Park three days later.

Moyes smiled from ear to ear after getting a point, because they equalized in the second half after falling behind in the first half, so he said that he was very satisfied with the team's tenacious fighting spirit, but he also politely said that Tottenham Hotspur has been fighting on multiple fronts for a long time and has a lot of rotation, so this draw does not explain the problem.

But Manchester City won, Tottenham Hotspur were held to a draw, and the lead was reduced to six points, just two games, but with 10 rounds to go in the Premier League, anything could happen.

Ye Qiu expressed his frustration at the sixth draw of the season, but he firmly believes that the team will continue to move forward.

Because of the FA Cup at the weekend, the 29th round of the Premier League was adjusted to midweek, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Stoke City 1-0 at home with a goal from substitute Messi, this goal was scored in the 91st minute, which shows that this game is also very difficult.

After this game, the outside world has been talking about when Tottenham Hotspur will lose again, after all, after entering March, with the resumption of the Champions League, Tottenham Hotspur has fought on multiple fronts and the team lacks rest time, and the players' form and fitness are also in trouble.

How long will Tottenham Hotspur be able to hold out in this situation?

But regardless of the rhetoric, the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League was also held on time at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

Tottenham Hotspur, as the only remaining team in the Premier League to reach the knockout round, has always been highly anticipated and valued by Premier League teams, but with Tottenham Hotspur in trouble, whether it can still bear the expectations of fans has become a big doubt.

Judging from the draw results, Tottenham Hotspur can really be said to have a house leak that happened to rain overnight! The foundation of the midfield depends on his next progress.
