Tottenham Hotspur have not been in good form lately, but Chelsea are clearly not much better.

They didn't do well for the Christmas season, starting with a 03 defeat to in-form Manchester United, followed by Stoke City and Middlesbrough, before losing 0 to Liverpool at Anfield.

Scolari's side obviously did not have an effective way to suppress their opponents when they encountered strong opponents twice in a row, and were defeated by their opponents in both games, which made Chelsea fans very unhappy, and even after being held to a draw by Hull City 00 at home, opening up the points gap with Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, Chelsea fans booed wildly.

They put up signs in the stands at Stamford Bridge demanding Scolari's dismissal, and even gave him an overwhelming boo whenever Scolari showed his head, as a vent of their frustration with Scolari.

In fact, for Scolari's future at Chelsea, there were quite a few people who were not optimistic about him as early as before the season, including Ye Qiu, for the simple reason that he was equal to another Mourinho, both in personality and coaching style, they are very similar, so on the one hand, there is no way to bring Chelsea beautiful football that Mourinho cannot bring, and on the other hand, he will definitely be like Mourinho, in conflict with the management in personality.

After Scolari arrived at Stamford Bridge, he suppressed Drogba, and as a result, the Ivorians were clamoring to leave, and there were rumors that they were going to leave Manchester City, but they were rejected by Chelsea, and Pini Zahavi wanted to bring in Carroll to replace Drogba.

But what really decided Scolari's dismissal was his winless defeat against strong teams, losing to Arsenal, losing to Liverpool twice, drawing and losing to Manchester United, Scolari's results in the contest with strong teams were indeed unsatisfactory, and Chelsea, although Liverpool had followed Liverpool since the start of the league, was overtaken by Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, which made Abramovich very dissatisfied.

However, Ye Qiu knows very well that the reason why Scolari is in trouble at Chelsea, and even Ye Qiu feels that what may make Scolari shy away from the professional teams of the four major European leagues in the future is that he is not suitable for the club coaching style of the four major European leagues at all.

Coaching the national team and coaching a club are two completely different environments, although coaching the national team has a dilemma in the selection of materials, but the pace is slower, because there is only a big competition, there is enough time for you to slowly select players, slowly prepare the team's tactics, and even slowly adjust, and everyone agrees that at the tactical level, the national team has fallen far behind the club.

But coaching a club is completely different because it's so fast-paced, so fast that if there's a serious problem with the tactics you worked out at the start of the season, you might not even have enough time to adjust it and have to play game after game.

That's why Ye Qiu said that the pre-season training camp of each season is very, very important, and it affects almost the entire season of the team.

Scolari took office as Chelsea's head coach after leading Portugal to the European Championships, and he didn't even have much time to think about what tactics he wanted to play at Chelsea, so the beautiful football he shouted at the beginning of the season was more like a slogan to please the fans.

Ferguson expressed surprise at Scolari's dismissal, while Ye Qiu expressed regret, but neither of them said what they really thought, after all, it had little to do with them, and Chelsea soon announced that Hiddink had taken over.

Speaking of which, this is also Ye Qiu's old enemy, sometimes Ye Qiu really didn't think it would be such a coincidence, he met Marseille at the beginning of the season, and the head coach Gretz was the head coach of Eindhoven at the beginning, and now he met Hiddink, who was the successor of Gretz during the Eindhoven period.

"It's really a season full of nostalgia," Ye Qiu said with a smile when he met Hiddink before the game.

But in the game, Tottenham Hotspur, desperate for a win, showed no mercy.

Hiddink did not adjust the tactics left by Scolari when he first arrived, but continued to use a single midfield, with Cudicini in goal, Ashley Cole, John Terry, Alex and Ferreira at the back, Mikel in the back, Arshavin, Ballack and Frank Lampard in midfield, and Didier Drogba and Anelka in the strikes

The big change is that Drogba reappeared in the starting lineup, but the long-lost Ivorian was stared at by Thiago Silva in this game, and almost did not perform, and Thiago Silva also relied on this game to block Drogba and completely broke his past shadow of Drogba and the high school forward.

Not only that, but Thiago Silva also took advantage of a free-kick in the first half to head David Silva's free-kick into the Chelsea goal, 0

After the two sides changed sides in the second half, Tottenham Hotspur's attack continued unabated, and after Ribery was injured, Gareth Bale returned to the starting line-up, he launched another attack on Ferreira on the left, and the Portuguese right-back was broken through by Gareth Bale again and again, and there was nothing to be done.

In the end, Messi and Robin van Persie scored successively, and Tottenham Hotspur beat Chelsea 0 away to get the three points

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, a deafening boo rang out from the entire Stamford Bridge stadium, making it impossible to tell who this boo was aimed at, Ye Qiu? Or Abramovich and Pini Zahavi, sitting on the podium?

Perhaps, from the point of view of the power struggle, they won, they successfully forced Ye Qiu out of Stamford Bridge back then, but from the point of view of the team's interests, they lost, lost very completely, lost completely.

Every time he saw Ye Qiu and his Tottenham Hotspur, Abramovich felt as if he had been slapped in the face, and every time he heard the news of this team, he was slapped in the face, and even though more than two years have passed, he still feels that this slap is very painful and painful.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew very well in his heart that he regretted the choice he had made.

Sometimes the club owner chooses the head coach as if it were a blind date.

There is always a rule of blind dates, that is, when you miss an object that you think is OK at the time for various reasons, then what awaits you is likely to be a long-term waste, the reason is very simple, you can't help but compare the current blind date in your heart with the one you missed before.

Everyone has a more or less comparative heart in their hearts, especially a person like Abramovich who has such a strong sense of possessiveness, and the comparison heart is stronger than ordinary people, so he always has a feeling in his heart, that is, to find a head coach who is better than Ye Qiu, not only to overwhelm Ye Qiu in terms of results, but also to completely win Ye Qiu in the team's technical and tactical style.

The demands on Mourinho, the demands on Grant and the demands on Scolari are the same, and it is this character of his that has led him to go further and further down the road of selecting a manager.

Perhaps there is a sentence that can well describe Abramovich's current mood, what is missed is always the most beautiful

But this is easy to say, but it is very difficult to see through this layer of fog.

And when he saw that Hiddink, who he had invited from the Russian Football Association in every possible way and was humiliated by his old enemy Ye Qiu with three goals in his debut, took the initiative to walk to the coach's command area of the away team after the game and stood outside to talk and communicate with Ye Qiu, he kept asking himself in his heart, "Will he be the most suitable head coach for the team?" ”

"How does it feel to be a dual job?"

While Abramovich asked himself from the stand, the two men he was talking about in the visitors' coach's command area were chatting back to when Arshavin was still at Tottenham Hotspur.

In the early years, Hiddink's relationship with Ye Qiu was the same as that between Eindhoven and Ajax, but when he came to the Premier League, Ye Qiu was able to accept Peter De Wiesel, who was born in Eindhoven, and could forget the grievances with Gretz, and naturally he would not hold grudges against Hiddink, and there was no grudge between him and Hiddink

"That feeling" Hiddink put on a complicated expression of helplessness and enjoyment, it can really be said that it is painful and happy, "You don't understand" After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh.

Ye Qiu shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Then you can continue to enjoy it."

"It's not a good job, Gus" As an old friend, Peter De Visserl was closer to Hiddink and spoke more directly.

"I know, thank you, Peter," Hiddink nodded thankfully to his old friend, "but sometimes, just like the players, there will always be times when we can't help ourselves."

It is reported that a very important reason why Hiddink took over Chelsea is that half of his salary is paid by Abramovich's sponsorship of the Russian Football Association, so when Abramovich came forward to persuade the Football Association, it was difficult for Hiddink to refuse the invitation of the Russian tycoon, and they had a very good relationship.

"Then I can only wish you good luck," Ye Qiu smiled and stretched out his hand.

After shaking hands, the two returned to their locker rooms.

Ye Qiu has never doubted Hiddink's ability, just as there is a saying in football circles, almost every head coach from the Netherlands is a master tactician and has very deep tactical knowledge, because the Netherlands has always attached great importance to the study of this aspect, so the Dutch coach has a high tactical literacy, and Ye Qiu himself is also regarded as a Dutch coach.

And Hiddink is undoubtedly the best of the Dutch managers, so there is absolutely no problem with his ability, but the current Chelsea team is obviously worse than in the previous life, not to mention anything else, let's just say that the goalkeeper position, whether it is Cudicini or Hilario is not a trustworthy goalkeeper, which is also Chelsea's biggest weakness

In the general environment, the rise of Tottenham Hotspur has made Chelsea encounter significantly greater difficulties than in previous lives, at least Hiddink suffered a heavy defeat in the first game, although everyone knows that this is not about Hiddink, but how much is a black start, what the future holds, no one is sure.

With a win over Chelsea away, Tottenham Hotspur have finally equalled all teams in the Premier League in terms of games, and their unbeaten record of 25 wins and 5 draws in 25 Premier League games has indeed amazed the entire Premier League and even the whole of Europe.

Sixty-five points, Tottenham Hotspur successfully expanded the points gap between themselves and Manchester United to six points again, and returned to the safety line, Ye Qiu was also relieved, but he could not feel the slightest relaxation for the team's problems in the past period.

Therefore, when the team finished playing Chelsea, at noon the next day, Ye Qiu summoned the core coaching staff of the first team to his office for a meeting, and the main content of the meeting was to adjust the team's skills and tactics again

There is a ball and no ball, this is a very contradictory pair.

Ye Qiu once thought about a question by himself, what is the biggest difference between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United during the treble?

A lot of people say that these two teams are actually very similar because they both have a strong emphasis on touching the ball and pay attention to fast and sharp attacks, and Manchester United had a black wind in the front court, while Tottenham Hotspur now have a trident up front, both emphasizing switching and pulling, and then letting the midfielder behind them take care of passing.

Ye Qiu also felt for a while, has his team found the most suitable style for him?

But as Ribery recovered from his injury and then injured again, Gareth Bale was more of a strong attack on the left side, but the small Messi and David Silva adapted well, which made Ye Qiu gradually realize a problem.

Many people have said that Messi has scored most goals this season because of Ribery's injury, but in fact they only see the superficial factor.

Yes, Ribery is injured, and the team's last kick needs to be filled, and Messi just needs to fill this position, so in the past he used to take the ball to attract the attention of the defense and then make the ball for his teammates, but now he is actively running the gap and letting his teammates make the ball for him, and this transformation has led to Messi scoring more goals.

And this transformation is to put it simply, it is the transition from having the ball to not having the ball, from the previous holding the ball to the current movement.

David Silva is a different type, and that's how smart he is between having and not on the ball, between possession and movement, and it seems that he always has a balance between those two on the pitch.

Too much without the ball is not a good thing, just like Cristiano Ronaldo, he used to have the ball more than without the ball, but now he is almost completely biased towards the ball, so his breakthrough with the ball has lost his threat a lot of times, on the one hand, because his body has become stronger, but on the other hand, because he has been playing without the ball for a long time, which makes his ability to have the ball deteriorate.

The player's technical ability will keep changing, it doesn't mean that after you reach a certain height, it will always be fixed there, it will change, if you don't advance or retreat, if you don't stick to this aspect of training for a long time, don't use it often on the field, after a long time, it will be rusty, it will degenerate, and gradually forget it.

And having too much on the ball isn't necessarily a good thing, as in Franck Franck Ribery, who started running off the ball last season, but when he gets the ball, he still likes to burst strongly, which maintains his ability to fight alone, but the chance of injury increases.

With and without the ball, not only is the manager controlling the team, but it is also difficult for players to strike a balance between their abilities in both aspects, just as it is impossible for a player to get the ball and keep breaking through like Robben, and at the same time like Cristiano Ronaldo, constantly taking advantage of gaps to score.

Of course, in theory, it's very simple, that is, to make the best choice according to the situation on the field, to break through when you need to break through, and to drill the gap when you need to score a goal, then it will be perfect.

But this is just theoretical, whether it is Pele back then, Maradona later, Ronaldo, Zidane and others, no one can reach this perfect state, otherwise, how could Maradona and Ronaldo be so badly injured?

Looking at the history of football, almost all the stars who rely too much on the ability to play have been injured often, Maradona, Ronaldo, Robben, and even if Gareth Bale does not change his style of play, blindly taking the ball on the left side, he will sooner or later be related to injuries, which has nothing to do with whether you are physically strong or not.

Because, when the other party is forced to stop you with aggression, you have already become a relative of the injured and sick.

"I also suggest that Ribery and Messi should reduce individual breakthroughs appropriately, but in this way, we will be a big problem when we encounter dense defenses" Mauro Tasotti also feels that the team's style needs to be adjusted, but if the scale is not good, it is likely to cause problems in the team.

"Now almost all teams know that we are good at attacking, and when we meet us, we play defensive counter-attacks, and if we don't have enough individual breakthroughs to destroy the opponent's defence, we will be unable to break through dense defenses."

"And this shift may lead to another problem, Van Persie's running and counter-attacking are not very strong in the first place, if we can't use the ball to suppress the opposition defence and create a strong threat, then our control up front will be reduced, and we will be more likely to be beaten by the opponent."

Tottenham Hotspur's high post defense is still based on the situation of suppressing the opponent's defense in the front, once the front court cannot suppress the opponent's defense, then it will be followed by the opponent has more opportunities to play the gap left after your defense moves forward.

Ye Qiu listened to the analysis of the coaching staff and was silent, but his brows were tightly locked, because he knew very well that this was another problem that Tottenham Hotspur had to overcome if he wanted to further liberate the team's attacking power and reduce the injuries of attackers in the front court.

But adjusting the team's tactics is like a 100-meter sprint, for track and field athletes, if you want to run into 11 seconds, as long as you insist on training, the difficulty is not very difficult, but if you want to run from 11 seconds to 10 seconds, the difficulty will be many times higher than before, and if you want to run from 10 seconds to 9 seconds, it is almost a threshold that countless track and field athletes will find difficult to cross in their lifetime.

This is the case with Tottenham Hotspur right now, as the tactical framework takes shape, and as the overall technical and tactical style is finalized, it will be more difficult and difficult for the team to make every subsequent adjustment.

But it doesn't work to stay the same, because in professional football, especially in a top league like the Premier League, once you are familiar with a set of tactics, then congratulations, you will soon be restrained, and then the situation will be more serious than if you took the initiative to change
