"Perhaps, it was the Copa America in the summer, and the growing number of internationals, that Tottenham Hotspur's group of young players have not yet found the right rhythm in the league, which makes them always slow to integrate into the game."

On October l, China's National Day, Tottenham Hotspur hosted Aston Villa, and in the first minute of the opening minute, Tottenham Hotspur scored by Aston Villa, and the goal for Aston Villa was a counterattack from Agbonlaho.

Andy Gray was a little disappointed when the opponent scored, because the goal was launched from the left side of the counterattack, aimed at Alves on the right side of Tottenham Hotspur, and it was clear that the Brazilian right-back did not perform well in this game, attacking and going up, but not coming back when defending.

"In the past we have always said that Tottenham Hotspur is a team that is very good at opening the pitch and attacking the game, but judging from the performance of this season, they have not started as smoothly as in the past, this is the case when they played Arsenal, and now they are still like this when they play Aston Villa, which is really not a very good phenomenon, it is too slow

Ye Qiu doesn't see this way, he thinks that the impact of the Copa America on the team is more Messi, Mascherano and Vargas three players, and the interesting thing is that these three players happen to be three deep offensive lines on the left, center and right, among which Mascherano's performance since the beginning of this season is not good, not as stable as in the past.

Of course, this is a very normal thing, Ye Qiu will not doubt his ability because of this, or even move his main position, after all, the state of every player will fluctuate, and it is impossible to maintain a high level of performance forever.

Ye Qiu felt that there was actually another aspect that affected the team, that is, the team performed too well last season, especially in the second half, which can almost be described as the team's offense at that time.

But at that time, Tottenham Hotspur's attack was playing Ruud van Nistelrooy, but now it is going to be in full bloom, which will take a period of adjustment and adaptation, so Tottenham Hotspur can play well against some teams with relatively wide defense, such as playing Arsenal in the second half, and that is because the Gunners' fitness has declined.

But once they encounter strict pressing and oppression, they are a bit chaotic.

Another point is the psychological problem, last season's third place in the league made many players in the team feel that they should be a strong team from the ideological point of view, and the young players are not mature enough to be affected easily, so once they have such thoughts, they are easy to hold up, or even underestimate the enemy.

Sometimes the player's emotions can't be solved by Ye Qiu with a few words, and it still depends on the players themselves.

Therefore, after conceding the goal, Ye Qiu did not make any adjustments, but let the team control the situation steadily, control the ball, and slowly move forward, while Aston Villa discharged a combination of Leo Cork and Gareth Barry in the middle of the midfield, both players are defensive types, so they play with a lot of emphasis on pressing and pressing.

Therefore, Ye Qiu's strategy is also very simple, constantly using skillful ball control and passing and receiving to put pressure on Aston Villa, and at the same time retreat Beckham's position, and the overall formation looks a bit like a 3 frieze.

"David's role in counterattacking is indeed obvious, but once it is caught in positional warfare, especially in a tough battle, the effect is greatly reduced" Mauro Tasotti stared at the situation with a frown and shook his head.

Beckham's long pass accuracy is very high, but the problem is also obvious, that is, his effectiveness is weakened in positional battles, especially when the opponent shrinks the defense, and at this time, the weakness of Tottenham Hotspur's midfield's lack of effective possession points will be exposed, which is why Ye Qiu introduced Modric.

But the Croatian midfielder, even so far, has not been able to integrate well into the midfield of Tottenham Hotspur, and his timing of the ball, as well as some shortcomings, make Ye Qiu not very reassuring of him.

As Ye Qiu and Peter De Visser's judgment on him before, if Tottenham Hotspur only wants to keep the top four in the Premier League now, Modric will be a very good midfielder, but now Tottenham Hotspur has Beckham, Cesc Fabregas, Messi, and Ribery, and the team's goal is to challenge for the title, or even the Champions League.

Then, in this case, if Modric can't change himself well and integrate into the team, it will be difficult for him to bring effective additions and reinforcements to Tottenham Hotspur.

It's not that Beckham is completely useless, because there will be many, many counter-attacking opportunities in every game, even if you are facing an opponent who is not as strong as you, but the root of the problem is that with Fabregas, who is becoming more and more mature and has more and more strength in both long and short passes, whether another position in the midfield should be given to Beckham.

It's a matter of trade-offs for the manager, after all, if there is a good ball handler in this position, then Tottenham Hotspur's entire midfield formation will be theoretically perfect, and at that point, the team's entire attack will take a qualitative leap, especially with the trident up front.

In the middle of last season, Tottenham Hotspur did not achieve good results, and Premier League teams generally adopted a strategy of pressing out, wanting to take points from Tottenham Hotspur, and they were not familiar with the changes after Tottenham Hotspur introduced Beckham, so Tottenham Hotspur went crazy.

But now, last season's third place in the Premier League was too conspicuous, and now many teams have adopted a strategy of shrinking defense and counterattacking when they encounter Tottenham Hotspur, and the team's shortcomings and shortcomings have been exposed.

Ye Qiu saw this in the summer, so he brought in Modric, but now it is difficult for him to win Beckham.

"Playing an Aston Villa, there's no need to think as if you're playing the Champions League final" Ye Qiu patted him on the shoulder with a smile after listening to Mauro Tasotti's words, "Martin O'Neal, I'm going to eat him."

After a bit of confusion after the opening, Tottenham Hotspur gradually stabilized the situation and continued to attack and put pressure on Aston Villa, who also struggled to defend Tottenham Hotspur's attacking trident.

Tottenham Hotspur's trident has no fixed routine, Van Persie, Ribery and Messi, and even Fabregas behind him, these four players can cross and change positions anytime and anywhere, can run and pull unscrupulously, and the trident is a left-legged player, able to swap left and right, and can also dribble the ball for his teammates.

This style of play requires a high level of tacit understanding between players, and the three of them have played together as early as Chelsea, so it is needless to say that the tacit understanding is naturally needless to say, and Ye Qiu has consciously cultivated their tacit understanding in this aspect in the past, so their performance on the offensive side is getting better and better.

After a period of pressure, Aston Villa gradually exposed their weaknesses and shortcomings.

In the 37th minute, Cesc Fabregas split the side after winning the ball in the middle, Messi broke through one-on-one on the right side and crossed, Van Persie hit the Aston Villa defense and scored in front of the goal, helping Tottenham Hotspur equalize, l

But in less than five minutes, Tottenham Hotspur formed a breakthrough on the side, Beckham gave it to Vargas, the Peruvian left-back quickly inserted, and suddenly formed a two-on-one situation with Ribery on the left side, Ribery won the ball on the left side of the penalty area and crossed the penalty area low, and the unguarded Van Persie easily shot low in front of the goal,

The whole process of reversal did not have the slightest drag, there was not the slightest hardship, there was just a relaxed and freehand passing and receiving cooperation, which is also the outside world's impression of Tottenham Hotspur, that is, when this team finds the feeling, their attack is as smooth as a cloud.

And into stoppage time, Tottenham Hotspur got another chance, it was Van Persie's header in front of the goal, which was saved by the goalkeeper, Beckham took a corner, Hangrande headed the goal, the goalkeeper saved the ball, but immediately after, Messi missed the crowd and hit the shot, L

In just about ten minutes, Tottenham Hotspur broke through Aston Villa's goal three times, which made Martin O'Neill both angry and helpless, and somewhat annoyed.

Especially in the second half, Tottenham Hotspur, who had regained their familiar feeling, launched a fierce attack on Aston Villa in one breath, and Aston Villa was forced to shrink their defense in front of the goal, but they still couldn't prevent Tottenham Hotspur from threatening their goals frequently.

In the first minute, Van Persie suddenly pulled to the left to receive a pass from Vargas, and after winning the ball, he shook off the defender and knocked back into the box, Ribery quickly cut in to form a one-on-one knife, and goalkeeper Carson attacked and brought down Ribery.

The referee awarded a penalty and gave Carson a red card, sending him off the pitch.

David Beckham took it upon himself to take the penalty kick and rewrite the score to 4L

Seeing the team's big victory, all the fans at White Hart Lane Stadium were also excited, Ye Qiu directly replaced Modric, replaced Beckham who scored the goal, and at the same time he also replaced Ashley Young and Cavani successively, wanting to give the main players the opportunity to rest and save some physical energy, but then Tottenham Hotspur firmly controlled the ball, but never scored again.

In the end, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Aston Villa 4L at home.

The day after the game, Tottenham Hotspur's performance was mixed.

First of all, they gave a very high evaluation to Tottenham Hotspur's attack, especially the front trident, they all think that this combination will be Tottenham Hotspur's offensive guarantee for the next five years, and they also think that Ye Qiu has trained an extremely sharp attacking combination.

But for Tottenham Hotspur to concede the goal after the opening, everyone felt that it was unnecessary, especially the passivity in the opening stage, which made people feel that this would become a big hidden danger for Tottenham Hotspur, and also said that Ye Qiu should work hard to overcome such problems and ensure Tottenham Hotspur's combat effectiveness this season.

After eight rounds, Tottenham Hotspur has two fewer rounds, and the record of four wins and two losses makes them equal in points with Portsmouth, Blackburn Rover, and Chelsea, but Tottenham Hotspur is ranked sixth in the league with the team's strong attacking power, while Chelsea is ranked eighth because they draw 00 at home to Fulham in this round.

At the end of eight rounds, Chelsea's points are the same as Tottenham Hotspur, which has two games less, which is unacceptable to all Chelsea fans, and many reporters have said that Mourinho's set has been pondered by Premier League opponents, and there is no way to play it anymore.

Many media said that throughout Mourinho's three seasons in charge of Chelsea, his tactics can be described as unchanged, although Shevchenko and Ballack were added in the middle, which once made Mourinho try to become a two-striker tactic, but soon returned to the 433 formation, and has always relied on the central axis left by Ye Qiu for him, and there has been no change.

But it's clear that Premier League teams have gradually started to adapt to Chelsea's tactics, and when the opponents have changed, it will be difficult for you to play and the results will definitely suffer.

Mourinho hit back at the criticism, arguing that the team's poor performance was due to not getting the players he wanted, and he wanted a wide player with great individual qualities, a winger who could break the deadlock when dealing with dense defences, but he ended up with Malouda.

Mourinho's remarks also exposed the contradictions within the Chelsea team, especially the outside world has been rumored for a long time, Mourinho and Mendes, and Pini Zahavi and Grant, the power struggle between the two factions is obviously heating up, and it is gradually surfacing.

Regarding Chelsea's internal strife, the media likes to listen to Ye Qiu's thoughts, and even wishes that Ye Qiu would fall into the trap for his old enemy Pini Zahavi, but Ye Qiu remained silent and said that he would not intervene in any disputes at Chelsea.

In fact, with his arrival, Chelsea's situation has changed, and Ye Qiu is not sure whether Mourinho will leave class, and he doesn't think that Mourinho's class will bring him any benefits.

Three days later, Tottenham Hotspur challenged Steaua Bucharest away to the club, because they had some strength in the league, so this time Tottenham Hotspur still went to Romania with a trident attacking lineup, and with the goals of Ribery and Van Persie, they defeated the Romanian team 0 away and successfully got the first three points of the group stage.

And when Ye Qiu led the team back to London from Romania, he received the news of Mourinho's dismissal.

On the way back to Theobald training base from Heathrow Airport, Ye Qiudu looked out the window.

The scenery along the highway flew behind him like a marquee, but his eyes didn't notice the scenery at all, but focused more on his thoughts.

Jose Mourinho is out of class

For Ye Qiu, this is really good news or bad news, because to some extent, Mourinho's departure is tantamount to putting Grant in the foreground, which is a turmoil for Chelsea.

At least, Ye Qiu really didn't take Grant seriously, this Israeli can talk about soldiers on paper, but when it comes to arranging troops and commanding on the spot, Ye Qiu can be regarded as having worked with him for a while, and he really doesn't think he has anything to do.

In a previous life, many people said that Grant accepted and substituted Chelsea into the Champions League final, but they didn't think about it, what team did Chelsea encounter?

Needless to say, in the group stage, the knockout round first met Olympiacos, and then met Fenerbahce, the semi-final opponent was slightly stronger, it was Liverpool, but both legs were I to the final, and it was a penalty loss to Manchester United after the final I was the worst.

If you look at the results alone, it seems to be a pity, they all reached the final, but if you look at the process, it is not difficult to find that among the Champions League semi-finals, Chelsea is the least golden, which is even less convincing than the season when Hiddink led the team to the semi-finals the following year.

Hiddink's Chelsea stopped in the semi-finals, which is a real pity, and Grant is called a big luck

Of course, Ye Qiu must also admit that Grant also has his own strengths, that is, the tactfulness of a typical Jew, at least even when Ye Qiu was coaching Chelsea, he was able to mix well in the team, but Ye Qiu was a little repulsed by him from the beginning because he was Pini Zahavi's party.

Strength has been at odds within Chelsea over the years, but Grant has always stood by Abramovich's side, and like Pini Zahavi, who is also Jewish, both of them certainly have their merits.

But Ye Qiu can be sure that none of their merits are on the football field, nor are they in the position of head coach.

'Maybe Chelsea can be removed from this season's Premier League winning table,' Roland said with a smile.

Mauro Tasotti listened, looked at Ye Qiu, who was frowning, smiled, and said: "It's hard to say, Chelsea's strength is still very strong, but the current internal struggle in this team is too fierce, resulting in serious internal friction, and now that Mourinho is gone, they can also temporarily form a united front, maybe it will stimulate the team's combat effectiveness." ”

To talk about the team lineup, Chelsea is still very strong, whether it is in terms of player strength or bench thickness, Chelsea is undoubtedly ranked first in the Premier League, even if Ye Qiu is full of confidence in his Tottenham Hotspur, but he still feels that his team is inferior to Chelsea, after all, Chelsea is more mature.

"Grant is taking over now, it must be to stabilize the team, and there will definitely be reinforcements during the winter break, so it's too early to say that Chelsea can't win the championship," Ye Qiu also said lightly.

"It's still the same old saying, focus on playing your game well, otherwise everything is empty talk"

After a pause, Ye Qiu suddenly smiled and said, "We can't be Arsenal"

With Tottenham Hotspur returning to London, the ninth round of the Premier League was ushered in non-stop, this time Tottenham Hotspur was away to Benitez's Liverpool, but the strong conversation ended in a draw.

Ye Qiu and Benitez are still the same old enemies, but Tottenham Hotspur's old problem is still there, conceding in the first minute, but immediately after, Ribery scored twice to help Tottenham Hotspur come, but in the first minute of stoppage time, Kompany made a mistake in defending Torres and conceded again.

Considering that it is an away game and the opponent is Liverpool, it is also an acceptable score, so the outside world did not give the team too much accusation, but it was a pity, after all, it became one point from the original three points, for which Ye Qiu also defended Kompany.

The team was disbanded on the spot after playing the league, and each went back to their respective national teams to report, and some players who did not have national team play tasks could rest for two days, while Ye Qiu planned to take advantage of the two-week league shutdown period to complete a purchase.
