After playing at Aston Villa, Li Bin also understood that his team really needed a big break. A game against Chelsea, although it was said to be a win, but the mental and physical strength consumed is not small, and the schedule is so tight these days, the players are too nervous, and it is not okay to not get rest. In this case, even if the team is really asked to fight Manchester City, the team will not be able to win, so Li Bin did not embarrass the players, and in the second leg of the League Cup, he also gave up directly.

In the second leg of the League Cup, Li Bin simply let the youth team play. His choice made Manchester City relieved from the manager to the players - because the game has been very tense recently, and they can't cope with the multi-front battle, in order to cope with a game, they even gave up a league game, so as to win this game and mobilize all their strength to play the game, but who knows that Li Bin actually chose to give up, which made Mancini feel like a punch in the air, but Mancini's heart flashed definitely not disappointed, on the contrary, it was a big surprise.

Manchester City won another game comfortably, and they won 4-1 in this game, which also became the worst defeat in the history of Li Bin and Mancini. Mancini was very happy to qualify for the final and play Manchester United in the final, and in an interview, he also reiterated the importance of the League Cup to Manchester City, vowing to win the first title since the Premier League.

On the contrary, Li Bin, who lost the game, was also asked a lot by the media, most of them asked Li Bin if he was under pressure when he lost the game, and whether he was unwilling to win the league but lose the cup. However, Li Bin's answer to this is also very simple: he doesn't care about the League Cup at all.

'I don't think it's sad to lose this game, on the contrary, we can play well with the youth team and that's more important than getting trophies. As for the pressure on the club side, I don't think there will be, my club is not down enough to think the Carabao Cup is important, that's not what we're aiming for. The attraction of the team players? I don't know what kind of players would be attracted to the Carabao Cup, but I think I need players who are more interested in Champions League qualification than in the Carabao Cup. ”

Li Bin's words were a bit mean, and the media thought that he was taking the opportunity to express his jealousy of Mancini. However, Li Bin's words are indeed what he thinks: what good players can be among the players who need to be attracted by the League Cup? For the players, the big stage is the Champions League, and the small stage is the league.

As long as you can lead the team to the top four, do you need to be afraid of what kind of League Cup you can't play well? The players here in Li Bin have also been given a rest and can cope with the next games, and this process is more important than anything else.

Immediately, Tottenham had another two-game schedule a week, but this schedule did not bother Tottenham at all. They first won the game in the league and against West Bromwich Albion, relying on Suarez's brace, Suarez, who did not play well in the game against Chelsea, played quite fiercely in this game, and the opponent's players could not stop his surprise attack at all. Although Terry's defense can cause problems for Suarez, West Bromwich Albion's defense is completely ignored by him. With a goal in each half, Suarez easily showed how dominant he can be against the Premier League's underdogs.

Tottenham then won the FA Cup with a win over Watford. Watford are not even a Premier League team, and they are lucky to have drawn such an opponent in the FA Cup. Tottenham rotated again, and thanks to Lennon's excellent performance, Tottenham scored and comfortably beat Watford to advance to the next round.

Tottenham then won the league against Portsmouth. This team has played reasonably well this year, but in memory they should have signed Las Diarra on loan from Arsenal, but this year Arsenal seems to be different than they remember, they kept Las Diarra in the team, which also made Portsmouth not play very well. Although Redknapp worked hard, the British team still had shortcomings, Yaya Toure's long-range shot, coupled with a header from Thiago Silva, made Portsmouth's door broken twice, although their counterattack also saved a goal, but still could not change the fate of the loss.

Tottenham then had an FA Cup tie ahead of the international break, beating Everton to progress to the next round.

Everton didn't play very seriously this time, and Tottenham won easily. During the game, Li Bin didn't even care much about the rhythm of the game, but kept an eye on Everton's players.

Everton's team, under the leadership of Moyes for a long time, has really cultivated a lot of good players. While most of these players are under-the-top and under-the-bottom, it's pretty good to add an English player. Although Li Bin still has some confidence in his local player reserves, it is not bad to turn them into a reserve place for himself. David Moyes has a big problem with his command, but when he is in charge of the team, he does think about the long-term development, and in this regard, he is not without merit.

Talking about Moyes's contribution to the development of the league, Li Bin also beat Everton without mercy. Lennon, who came on the pitch again, has played well again, and now because he can't play in the main team, he is also working very hard, and this level of effort has allowed him to play well in the game, and has also helped Tottenham to win four consecutive games on all fronts.

And this time on the national team break, he was rewarded as well. Rarely, he received a call-up to the national team and went to the England national team. Having a chance in the England national team under Fabio Capello is obviously something to be proud of for him, and it makes him quite excited.

And in addition to Lennon, there are not a few people walking in the team. The two Uruguayan players on the forward line are gone, and even Darren Bent has been recruited to the national team - Capello really has no use in his hands, which also makes Li Bin sigh. In the midfield, Di Maria, Yaya Toure and even Kevin Boateng are the main members of the national team, and Kolarov and Piszczek in the backfield are naturally needless to say, they have also been recruited by their respective national teams, and even Neuer and Thiago Silva have also been called up for the national team for the first time.

It seems quite remarkable that so many people have been selected for the national team at once, and even the top giants don't necessarily have this kind of momentum. However, imagine that Yaya Toure, Kevin Boateng, Piszczek and Kolarov all had to be selected because of the strength of their national team, and Neuer, Thiago Silva, Lennon and others are basically the identity of the national team to play soy sauce, Neuer is now even only the third goalkeeper of the German team, even if it is the main force, there is basically no one who is the core of his national team, although the number of callups for this national team is large, but in terms of quality, it is really not particularly good.

And this time, there are only a few local players and a few unlucky people left in Tottenham's training base. Wales did not play, Bale stayed, the Italian side Lippi trusted the veteran more and did not use the young Palmeri, and Gustavo was eager to join the national team, but Deschamps preferred Melo to him, and Brazil in the position of the back, the number of substitute teams is really outrageous, Gustavo this time, there is no turn.

Since there are not many players left, Li Bin decided to take this time to talk about the difference between Premier League football and mainland football with these local players. Anyway, they will have to make up for this lesson sooner or later, and it doesn't hurt to talk about it now.

"The tactical backwardness of Premier League football originated in the 90s, mainly affected by the ban, and the technical backwardness of the Premier League began to highlight from around 2000, England in the 90s, although there were no tactics, but the strength of the players was not bad, but now, it has fallen behind a lot. Premier League football does not focus on change, does not pay attention to rhythm, such football is doomed to fall behind......"

Li Bin's lecture is actually something that everyone knows, but it is very difficult to make these things acceptable to the players. After all, there are English people here, telling them: you are weak, and it is difficult for them to accept.

"Take Everton, which we played a few days ago, for example, they are a typical English team, Moyes can be said to be the best British style coach outside of Ferguson, but he is vulnerable in front of us, this is a tactical gap, no matter how good the English coach is, it is also an English coach, the gap is very big......"

"But, as you said, Ferguson is also an English coach." Jenas couldn't help but interrupt him, "His gap is also big? ”

"Ferguson has top-level battlefield prediction and situation control ability - that is, the ability to use tactics, but his tactical system is also very problematic. Over the years, he has been trying to change his tactical system, that is, because he knows this gap. Unfortunately, he made two mistakes, one is that the object of learning is not the better system Bosque and Heathfield, but the relatively easy to form Lippi's tactics, this set of tactics is based on the control of the dressing room, it is easy to get started, but it is the most difficult to reach a very high level, Ferguson is a little anxious, if you choose Bosque's system, maybe better. The other is that he reuses Queiroz, Queiroz's tactical system is not advanced, he has problems thinking on many levels from a country like Portugal, and his tactical system basically destroys Manchester United's ability to pass vertically - these two points make his reform very unsuccessful, relying on the control of the dressing room, he has no problem leading the team, but he retires later, whoever takes over his mess is unlucky. ”

In my memory, the unlucky ghost was Moyes. The stall left by Ferguson was actually very bad, but when Moyes took over, he was under a lot of pressure, and as a result, he brought nothing. Ferguson wanted Moyes to follow his path, but it wasn't the '80s – in the '80s, when Ferguson took over as runners-up in the league and immediately purged the big names, the team's results plummeted, but starting all over again, it was okay. But in this day and age, this is impossible. Ferguson can't say that he can't protect Moyes, he can't even protect himself, in order to prevent Martin Ferguson from holding the scouting power, the club management can even unite to resist Ferguson's intervention, plus the American boss made trouble, the team's dressing room came to a mess, Manchester United after Ferguson left, the upper division was a mess, and it was destined to plummet - in the final analysis, this is a tactical backwardness, and the accumulation of contradictions caused by extraordinary means to remedy the outbreak of contradictions, Moyes just happened to be at the right time - this fault is Ferguson's, He also paid the price of thirty years of hard work and collapsed overnight.

"There needs to be a link between Premier League football, which relies on the impact of the body, and European football, which relies on technical skills. This bond must be tactical, and only tactics can form a connection. But how does this connection work? Ladies and gentlemen, this is something we need to explore. Believe me, Tottenham will find this way under my leadership! ”
