Football is a very interesting science, especially the more you understand it, the more familiar you are with it, the more you will find that in fact, you will not understand it, because it is very vast and profound.

This is true of all industries and all learning in the world.

It's like math, one plus one and so on, simple, right? But as profound as Goldbach's conjecture, it has been impossible for countless mathematicians in the world to prove, do you say that mathematics is simple or profound?

Easy to learn, difficult to master, this is the typical characteristic of all learning in the world.

Sometimes, Ye Qiu is thinking, perhaps, the history of modern football in the past hundred years or so may be just to tell everyone a truth, how to achieve a balance between individuals and teams.

And if you magnify this problem, for a country, or even the entire world, individualism and collectivism, this is not also two opposing ideas, so whether it is the pursuit of individualism, or the advocating of collectivism, you have no way to say that he is wrong, in the final analysis, social harmony, peace in the world, is to find a balance between individualism and collectivism, mutual compromise, mutual harmony.

The same is true of football, its history is a spiraling history, full of the struggle between individualism and teamism, the birth of countless superstars, such as Pele and Maradona, but soon, when people found that individuals alone could not limit these superstars, so teamism revived, and when teamism developed to a certain extent, it will definitely lead to the rise of better individualism.

It's a kind of cycle in football!

Back in reality, countless journalists and media outlets and fans are saying, Cristiano? Ronaldo and Messi are two of the greatest superstars on the planet, they are at a level that surpasses any other player in the world, Messi relies on his unparalleled football skills and inspiration, Cristiano? Ronaldo relied on his strong and excellent body.

The confrontation between the two super geniuses is the confrontation between the technique and the strength.

Messi and Cristiano, so to speak? Ronaldo is the crystallization and achievement of the development of star tactics to the extreme since the 90s, they represent the two most outstanding concepts in the football world now, and they also represent the ultimate level of modern football training, they are the most outstanding works of art trained by modern football.

But teamwork has always been not to be outdone, the Danish miracle, the Greek miracle, the Valencia miracle, and even Real Madrid's two Champions Leagues at the turn of the century, these can be seen as a resurgence of teamism, a strong return to football as a whole, and this trend is almost very obvious by now.

Messi and Cristiano, who represent individualism? Ronaldo has reached the limit, their development has encountered a bottleneck, because the level of technology, the level of training has not been able to make a major breakthrough in a short period of time, and the individual ability has also reached the extreme, so they can score a lot of goals, they can be invincible, but it is difficult for them to lead a team forward by relying on the strength of one person like in the Maradona era.

The reason is simple, the whole football, which represents teamism, is back!

So, what does the future hold for football?

If, Messi and Cristiano? If Ronaldo represents the highest level of football training, then football as a whole will gradually popularize this highest level of training in the next few years, so that more and more professional players can enjoy this level of training, and there will be more and more high-level players.

Of course, you never have to worry about not having a star in the process, because there will always be differences between people.

The development of teamism cannot be without bottlenecks, but at the same time as the development of teamism, with the progress of science and technology, the improvement of training level, individualism will make a breakthrough, so elite special training will create several super talents, their appearance will once again break the balance brought by teamism, he will re-stage the Maradona miracle, let the whole team around him to build tactics, play his tactical value and strength advantages, and then succeed.

Thus, a new resurgence of individualism, followed by a resurgence of teamism, and so on.

Sometimes Ye Qiu felt that the ideas of those ancestors of the motherland were really interesting, and they put forward the theory that the solitary yin does not give birth, the solitary yang does not grow, and one yin and one yang is the Tao.

The truth here is actually a balance.

When it comes to a person, there are two sides to each person, good and bad, good and evil, depending on how you balance these two personalities.

Put it into a team, superstars and players, individualism and teamism, how to coordinate development?

In a country, how to balance and integrate the individual and the collective, the family and the country?

Everything in this world is relative, there are two sides, and if you always look at and think about problems with only one side, then you will always go astray and go on the wrong path.

Just like Ye Qiu, although his education is from the Cologne Institute of Physical Education in Germany, he is not a professional player, if many people hear this, they will think, ah, this guy is a layman, is this really the case?

Throughout the history of the world, the decision-makers of all great wars were not the generals who were the best at fighting!

In the Second World War, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States was shaken, the situation was critical, Roosevelt decided to bomb Tokyo, almost all the generals in the United States thought that this was an impossible task, and it was not cost-effective, so Roosevelt got up from his wheelchair and told them, I can stand up, you can do it.

The end result is known to all: the United States successfully bombed Tokyo and changed the course of World War II.

Similarly, in the history of football development, it is often those managers who have not had brilliant careers, or even those who have no career experience at all, who have made outstanding contributions to the development of football, and the reason is the same as war, and the real decision-makers should not be those generals who are good at fighting, but a group of strategists with a broader vision and foresight.

At Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu played the role of a strategist, although he is not good at training, and he is now no longer focusing on targeted tactics as he did in the past, but he is more thinking about how the team should go in the future.

Because to the extent that Tottenham Hotspur has developed, especially at the level of football, their most formidable enemy is no longer their opponents on the pitch, but themselves!

At Tottenham Hotspur, there are five very good tactical analysts in the back row of every game, each of whom is enough to be called a master tactician, who use computers to analyse every change and adjustment of opponents on the pitch in a variety of ways, and give professional advice to the manager and coaching staff.

They're the ones who pick them out, they're second to none, and the tactical theories and ideas are so good that if you debate them, they can make you speechless, but the problem is that they're just tactical analysts, because they're always part of the manager's resources to integrate the team.

Ye Qiu is not good at carving players, but Mauro? Tassotti is a great right-back, the best tactician, Muhrensteen and Moniz are the best masters of the world. Hawke is the best goalkeeper coach in the world, plus the team's entire research center and tactical analysis team, etc., the professionalism of Tottenham Hotspur's entire logistics team, put into the football world, it is second to none, whether it is from the professional or from the advanced, it is superb.

This is the super team that Ye Qiu has created in the past five years!

…………

…………

Sitting in the office chair, the butt swings from side to side, and the office chair sways silently and almost without any resistance.

Ye Qiu's attention always fell on the training ground downstairs opposite, where the training session of the first team was now going on. Tasotti is in charge.

At this moment, Mauro? Tasotti was calling a timeout and walked into the training pitch to meet the young Luca, who had been promoted to the first team. Shaw explained one of his mistakes, apparently telling him what mistakes he made when defending Messi and what was wrong with his defensive position.

A defender who has been involved in defending for decades in Serie A, he has a very unique understanding of defence, and he is very good at carving defensive players, such as Thiago? Silva and Kompany, carved out of his hands, and like Kyle? Walker, the England right-back is only twenty-one years old, but Mauro? Tassotti was very optimistic about him.

Is it a professional footballer, Mauro? Tasotti came off the pitch to demonstrate himself, asking attacking players such as Messi to also dribble to his side, and then he personally demonstrated to the players how to move his position properly in the retreat.

It's not just about tuning the defenders, it's also about telling the offensive players how to handle a high level of defense.

Mauro? Tassotti's training always has a lot of details, and his level also makes all players have to admire, after all, he is the best right-back in AC Milan's history, plus he has worked in AC Milan for more than ten years, and has experienced so many head coaches, his ability is indeed very strong.

Ye Qiu asked himself, in terms of details, especially in carving and training players, he is far inferior to Mauro? Tasotti, but on a strategic level, Mauro? Tasotti is not as good as him, this is also what Ye Qiu hopes for Mauro? Tasotti was promoted, so he recommended it to Mauro? Tasotti has a lot of books on related subjects, including a large number of Chinese classics such as "The Art of War".

It wasn't until the end of the training session that Ye Qiu turned around, left his office, went downstairs directly, and went to the players' locker room, and the players who had already received the notice from the coaching staff also returned to the locker room one after another.

"First of all, I have to congratulate all of you!" Ye Qiu swept over everyone with a smile, "Your names will go down in history with the team, you should be proud and proud of your glorious achievements yesterday!" ”

Fifty-nine games unbeaten is a new all-time record, and even now, fans across the UK and even the world are still marveling at Tottenham's achievement.

"Secondly, I want to tell you that we have to change our mindset!"

Speaking of this, Ye Qiu shook his head and smiled, "Yes, many people say that the unbeaten record is a heavy pressure, I myself have two long unbeaten records, one was in Chelsea that year, we won 56 unbeaten records, and the other time is with you, the two undefeated records give me a very different feeling!" ”

"I did feel the pressure last time, but when I look back on it afterwards, I think I was so stupid. The fact that we were able to remain unbeaten for so long has proven in itself, we don't need to be pressured, on the contrary, we should have a drive, a drive to push the limits! ”

'Fifty-eight games ago, we were chasers, chasing Chelsea, chasing AC Milan, we were running behind somebody else's ass, we had a goal, and it was a very clear goal, and they just stood in front of us and stopped and waited for us, just like a tortoise and a hare race, the hare ran fast, but it stopped and went to sleep, the tortoise caught up, do you think the tortoise has the ability?"

Ye Qiu shook his head vigorously, "No, I respect the turtle's efforts and diligence, but I want to say that the turtle is always a turtle!" ”

There were a lot of players in the dressing room, including some who had been drawn to the first team for training, such as Luke? Shaw, Nick? Powell, Januzaj, Karum? Chambers, Jedwich and Will? Hughes and other youngsters, they will all get the opportunity to play in the cup or the UEFA Youth Champions League.

At this moment, after listening to Ye Qiu's words, they all nodded for a while.

Ye Qiu's meaning is very clear, the tortoise and rabbit race cannot prove how good and powerful the tortoise is, it can only be said that the rabbit himself gave up the victory to the tortoise, and it was the rabbit himself who did not fight.

Returning to this record, Ye Qiu's meaning is obvious, other people's undefeated records are unstoppable, and it is not a big deal if you catch up, because you are a turtle that keeps chasing, but when you exceed this record, you become a rabbit running in the front, and some other current and future chasers behind you will become turtles.

So, the question is, are you going to be a lazy sleeping rabbit? Or do you want to be vigilant and vigilant, and keep rushing forward rabbits? It's up to each individual to make their own decisions!

"I want to tell everyone that when I'm never satisfied, I'm going to keep running, and I want Tottenham to run with me, and that requires everyone here to be like me, never satisfied, never satisfied with the status quo!"

"I also want to tell you that in the past, we were walking on the road that others had walked to catch up with others, but now, there is no road in front of us, there is no object and goal to catch up, and every step we take will become a road for others to chase, and you, everyone present, will leave your footprints on this road!"

Ye Qiu's words made many of the players present couldn't help but raise their heads, and their eyes obviously showed a hunger and thirst.

Who doesn't want to be famous in history?

What do players want to win the title, they want to win the Champions League?

Money? Not only that, but also famous!

"I want you to understand a truth even more, from now on, every game from now on, you don't play for the fans, you play for the team, but for yourself, how long you can keep the team's unbeaten record, that's up to you, I believe that if you can give your best every game, then no team can beat you, and you will continue to write this unbeaten history."

The players reacted strongly to Ye Qiu's words, and their emotions were obviously mobilized, although they didn't speak, they all nodded.

"The third thing I'm going to announce today, which we said in our press conference, is that the team is going to start a new round of contract renewal negotiations, and we will complete a new round of contract extensions in the next two years, and this renewal will decide everything based on your performance!"

Ye Qiu's words are not difficult to understand, that is, if you want to have a higher salary package when renewing your contract, you want to have better conditions, and higher bonuses, then use your performance on the court to convince me and prove your worth.

The head coach has always been a man of his word, at least Ye Qiu is still worthy of the trust of the players, so when he said this, everyone present obviously knew what Ye Qiu meant, and they all believed in Ye Qiu's promise.

After more than five years of building, Tottenham Hotspur's players have basically understood the team's salary structure, and even the outside media have begun to figure out the treatment of Tottenham Hotspur.

The latter part of the tax rate in the UK is very low, or even tax-free.

As a result, many Premier League teams have begun to follow Tottenham's lead, and they have begun to convert some players' salaries into image rights income and commercial income, but in doing so, they are facing an investigation by the Royal Revenue and Customs Service.

Tottenham Hotspur can be said to have done the most professional in this regard, and there are many different ways for the team to help players reasonably avoid some taxes, even tax exemptions, and even some unavoidable taxes can be reduced by running companies and other things.

Therefore, on the surface, Tottenham Hotspur's players don't seem to have high salaries, and the stars of other teams seem to have high salaries, but the reality is completely the opposite.

Ya, you are all avoiding taxes one or two, I have turned a blind eye, but you are still shouting loudly one by one, really when Lao Tzu is dead? Or do you feel that tax avoidance and tax evasion are not enjoyable, and you still want Lao Tzu to have a big social upheaval?

As Benjamin Franklin said, death and taxes are two things that are inevitable in a person's life.

It's just that different people will have different ways of dealing with them. The salary structure has been clarified, and even the outside media have begun to figure out the treatment of Tottenham Hotspur, and many media outlets that previously bombarded superstars such as Messi and Ribery for being too low pay have since turned around because they have found that the largest part of Tottenham Hotspur's players' income is not their salary, but image rights and commercial income.
