vs 423 Sworn enemies, good friends
After the draw with Arsenal, Tottenham got a break. Tottenham and Hull City were held back by the FA Cup tie and they were given a break at this time. After Hull City, Tottenham will face Bolton Wanderers. They were unable to cause too much trouble for Tottenham, who comfortably secured a victory thanks to Edinson Cavani's goal.
After the win over Bolton, Tottenham also ushered in another more important game. Their next opponent will be Arsenal in the FA Cup.
'I believe that Arsenal have seen what the real Tottenham level is in this game. The other day our players were too tired and they couldn't play to their full strength, but when they got the rest they were going to be a different team and I don't think Tottenham at full play is something Arsenal can play against. In this game we will be victorious, that's what I want. β
Before the game, in the face of Tottenham's recent downturn, Li Bin also opened his mouth to make a victory declaration, which is not what he usually does, and many media are talking about his style of doing things. However, Li Bin did this with his own considerations, and he spoke to Wenger at this time to relieve the pressure on the players.
The recent multi-front battle situation has caused Tottenham to have some losses, so that the strength of the team has declined, and even people suspect that the team's strength is not good. Li Bin himself doesn't believe it, but his players are different. They don't have any experience of winning in the final stages, so it's easy for them to face a lot of pressure in the late stages β beating Arsenal and qualifying for the FA Cup was a great way to release the pressure.
After he said this, Wenger immediately replied, "In the entire Premier League, there are not many teams that dare to say that they must beat Arsenal, and Tottenham is certainly not one of them. Coach Li Bin has a good record in charge of Tottenham, but I remember that Tottenham also played well in previous seasons, but at the end of the season, they were still overturned by Arsenal. Having had that experience, I don't think Tottenham would have been able to finish in the top four consistently, but if I were him, I would be more focused on my team. β
He was talking about the 05-06 season, Tottenham being rebelled, and the quarrel between the two teams before the game also attracted a lot of attention.
'It's easy to argue, but do you really think we can win against Arsenal?
Esposito was a little unconvinced of Li Bin's confidence, but Li Bin immediately replied, "If you really want to win, where is there so much trouble?" Arsenal plays football that is not suitable for playing in the Premier League at all, and the situation of skilled players in the Premier League is not enough to describe the difficult word, which is rooted in English culture, and the outstanding performance is the way of thinking of blowing penalties and the unqualified cooperation of local players, Arsene Wenger's coaching style is too idealistic, and there is no soil for realization in the Premier League, we urgently need to win now, as long as we try to suppress them physically, we will win. β
"You despise Wenger too much."
'No, it's not a dismissive, it's just a disagreement with his philosophy and I still have a lot of respect for Wenger personally. His philosophy is not suitable for use in the Premier League, pure technical football has no survival here, and at the same time, I don't agree with his business philosophy, the infinite expectation and indulgence of young people will only make his team lose the future instead of winning it. However, just because I don't like his ideas doesn't mean I look down on him. In fact, I respect him very much, and it is very remarkable to dare to insist on a technical style of play in the Premier League, and a technical team like Arsenal, every time a little breakthrough is made in the league, it is of great significance to the progress of the entire Premier League, and it can even be said that it is incomparable to a defensive counter-attacking team. In terms of contributions, he deserves respect more than Liverpool and Chelsea, and it is difficult to distinguish who has contributed more with Manchester United. His presence is good for the whole league, we are mortal enemies, but it doesn't mean we have to be enemies. I didn't disrespect, on the contrary, I respected him. β
"And you talked like that before the game? Respect him for what not show a little? β
"I don't think Arsene Wenger needs verbal respect, what he needs is a challenge to his philosophy in the game, and the collision of different ideas is the best way for coaches to respect him. Actually, I would like to have a good relationship with Arsenal and Arsene Wenger's intelligence is admirable, and if you put pressure on them, they can improve, and when they improve, we can be inspired by the way they play, we can get feedback β so we should beat them for their improvement. Believe me, Lorenzo, I don't hate Wenger, but beating Wenger is better for him and for me! Defeating him is the best way to respect him! βββ
With Li Bin's words, Tottenham Hotspur welcomed the game against Arsenal. In this game, Arsenal's squad changed a bit from the previous meeting, taking Denilson and instead using Las Diarra as their starting midfielder. Diarra's defensive ability is better, with coverage area, and tackling ability, as Arsenal's starting midfielder, he has played well this season, and his strong strength has been recognized by the entire Premier League, and now he is firmly in the main position.
And up front, they are still the combination of Bam Adebayor and Robin van Persie. Bam Adebayo is Arsenal's top scorer this season, although Van Persie has decreased due to injury problems compared to last season, but he has also played very well, and this squad is also the most threatening lineup that Arsenal has come up with.
From the very beginning of the game, Arsenal were the first to attack, the ball was launched from the feet of Robin van Persie and quickly kicked towards the bottom line on the left wing. Piszczek stopped it, Van Persie took the ball to the bottom line without any hurry, pushed the outside of his left foot, twice, and just when Piszczek hesitated, he suddenly flicked the ball to the right with his right foot and chased after him. Piszczek immediately followed, Van Persie's speed was not fast, he could still see it, but Van Persie did not immediately make a cross, his right foot suddenly stepped on the ball, and after a pause, let Piszczek who rushed over stop, only then thought about the right side of the step, and then, directly kicked the ball out of the goal!
The ball was at the far post and the angle was quite tricky, but luckily Neuer immediately moved sideways and sealed the ball with one palm.
'Van Persie almost scored at the start, which was a pretty good shot, but Neuer obviously played well......
This shot also showed a lot of Van Persie's skills.
Van Persie's peak came in the 07-08 season - when he was not too bothered by injury problems, he was excellent in his skills and top quality, and he was completely not below Suarez. It's just that when he plays, sometimes he likes to play on the side too much, and in the Premier League environment, it can be said that he is looking for his own kicks, and often lying down for half a season is largely his own problem. However, even if he is prone to injury, when he can play, his level is still unquestionable. The top-level shooting skills and awareness allow him to play a great role, compared to the future after transforming into a center forward, he is more powerful as a shadow striker - of course, the tactical role of this kind of thing cannot be seen by the number of goals scored by the player, but as long as you have seen him play, it is clear that when he competes for the top scorer in the future, he is no longer at his peak.
And now, this Van Persie has an Adebayo next to him. Although Adebayo was not fast or strong, and did not have the consciousness and characteristics of a black man, his technique was delicate - it can be said that everything but shooting was quite good.
These two guys, the pressure on the back line is very high.
Once again, Cesc Fabregas made a precise pass to Van Persie on the right, who immediately launched an attack with the ball and Palmery immediately met him in front of him. His pace is not slower than Van Persie's, Van Persie's advantage is not his advantage, he can't get rid of Palmeri with speed.
However, at this time, he made a vigilant and cautious breakthrough just like when he faced Piszczek.
It's still the left foot once, twice, and then, in the opposite direction, suddenly!
Van Persie's feet control the tempo very well, and he has no speed advantage when he breaks through, only the skill of his feet is his guarantee. His way of breaking through is usually very good to kick down, but just as he plucked the ball, Palmeri immediately rushed over!
His right foot, jammed the space on Van Persie's left heel. Then, with a leaning of his body, he squeezed towards him and snatched the ball in one fell swoop!
Van Persie is left-footed habits, after the left foot plucks the ball, the right foot control skills can't keep up, at this time, control his left foot, you can grab the ball! Palmeri was broken by him in the last game, but this one, it is impossible to lose to him again. The video of the game is not watched in vain, and in the same pit, you can't fall twice.
The ball was snatched and Palmeri ran two steps away and kicked the ball forward. Yaya Toure received the ball and found that Suarez was less than five metres away from him, waiting to be picked up.
He passed the ball through, and Suarez, who received the ball, immediately turned around, and then passed the ball towards the front court!
He was still in the centre circle, but the kick went straight in the direction of the penalty area. There, Cavani chased after Galla and strengthened himself on his own, Cavani pushed Galla away and snatched the ball at his feet.
This made Suarez behind him clench his fist - he knew that what Lu Dao would be like this, Li Bin was not wrong in what he said, there is an upper limit to other things, but there is no brain, and if you use your brain well, you can kick better. Suarez's body is not as strong as his opponent, but Cavani does, so all he needs to do is form a pass and activate Cavani, and Cavani will naturally beat the opponent - one person can't be unbeatable, but the team can.
Cavani was in the penalty area, he had already stopped the ball at his feet, Galla grabbed it, and wanted to snatch the ball down, but Cavani turned around with a pull ball, and suddenly made a Marseille maneuver in the penalty area, dodged Galla, and then, the moment he turned around, it was a direct shot!
βgooooalοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌ Tottenham scored the first goal!! Excellent counter-attack, whether it is a steal or a counter-attack, is enough to be praised! In this game, Suarez and Palmeri played in completely different forms, they played very well, Arsenal were in danger! β
