Chapter 683: Genius Why!
Every fifteen minutes of a half-time game, the players are not even too busy to lose on the pitch at all.
This kind of busyness does not mean that they have to run non-stop, but they have to prepare for the second half according to some of their first half, such as someone needs to go to the toilet, someone needs to rehydrate, or some food, or simply lie on a soft bed and let the masseurs ravage.
Although there were fifteen minutes at half-time, the actual time left for the players was about ten minutes.
What do they usually do?
I believe this is the doubt of all fans in the world!
But they will never know what's going on in the dressing room, and unless someone is willing to risk being kicked out of football and break the news in private.
"The head said, this period of halftime, leave it to ourselves, think about it, how to play in the second half? Also, what is our goal for this game? He's not coming to the locker room! ”
'Also, he said, very happy with our performance in the first half!
This is the captain of the field, Raul, as the last person to walk into the locker room, conveying what the head coach Ye Qiu just told him.
The head coach does not come to the locker room, which is really rare in professional football, especially when the head coach is not sent off the field or is banned, take the initiative not to come to the locker room, if there is a rumor, I am afraid that all fans will be controversial.
The locker room suddenly fell silent, so quiet that only the movements and sounds of the masseurs massaging the players who were lying on the sofa bed and covered with a thick layer of warm towels were left, and they were obviously thinking about Ye Qiu's words.
In Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu has a supreme position, he says a word, often can make the group of players below work hard for him, and he can't come to the locker room now, they have to think for themselves, think for themselves, the players are also thinking, thinking, what to do in this game?
They did their best in the first half, can they continue to fight like this in the second half? Will they be able to hold on?
You must know that the other party is in the golden age, when the year of the star, and each of them is a Premier League, and there is even no shortage of European power stars, and they are not as good as their opponents in terms of physical confrontation, physical endurance, or the use of football skills, in this case, can they still hold on?
Raul sat in the dressing room, and the away dressing room at Goodison Park at Everton was the same as all the away dressing rooms, so everything in the dressing room was clear at a glance, and many players were still gasping for breath, such as Coutinho, who fought too hard in the first half.
Heitinga is a very aggressive player, his physical fitness and confrontation are very good, Coutinho's body is so different from him, but in the first half, he did not compete directly with Heitinga, which shows that the consumption of the Brazilians is very large, even now, they have not been able to recover.
Of course, young people, physical recovery is always much faster than veterans, especially for this group of seventeen, eighteen or nineteen-year-old young people, fifteen minutes can allow them to recover a lot of physical fitness, but can they continue to hold on to the second half, especially to support the team to continue to adopt the tactics of the last ten minutes of the first half, who knows?
There was no one in the dressing room to speak, the manager was not there, and it was supposed to be the captain of the team who was supposed to speak, but Raul was obviously not the kind of captain who could boost the morale of the players and make loud and incendiary speeches, he relied more on diligence and his performance on the pitch to prove the role of a captain.
That's good, but it's also bad, as if right now, he can't give his team-mates in the dressing room a unified idea.
Facts have proved that people, no matter what country or era, need to be managed.
Fighting in isolation, self-centeredness, has always been proven to bring only destruction and collapse.
"Fuck!" Phil? Jones was lying on the sofa bed, receiving a massage from the masseuse, and just after the end, this guy with a face as red as Guan Gong, slapped the iron wardrobe doors in the Everton dressing room hard, made a crisp sound, and then jumped off the soft bed naked.
"The more I think about it, the more annoyed I feel, that group of turtle bastards, it's clear that they are bullying us, fuck, the more I think about it, the more angry I get!"
The more this kid spoke, the more angry he became, his chest rose and fell rapidly, his face was obviously redder, and the green tendons on his neck also rose.
The staff next to him hurriedly rushed up and put a warm robe over Phil? Jones, it's not very hot right now, and damn Everton doesn't have air conditioning in the dressing room, so you have to find a way to help keep the players' bodies warm, otherwise, after fifteen minutes, the players will cool down, and after the second half resumes, they will have to go through a period of warm-up to find their form.
"We fought with them in the second half, look at what kind of wretch it will be like if that group of bastards loses to us on their home turf, it's better to be angry with them!" Phil? Jones shouted angrily.
"You, you have to be careful in the second half, there is a yellow card, and another card is a red card!" As the captain of the team, Raul has the responsibility and obligation to remind his teammate, who is often carried away by anger.
"I know the way, but I can't be angry!" Phil? Jones also has his own reasoning, "Besides, they just see this, so they always play on the left side, and if they don't give them some good taste, they don't know what I do!" ”
"I think Phil is right, there's nothing to be afraid of, just that group of goods in Everton, let's clean them up and see what they have to say then!" Sandro was also annoyed.
In the first half, Everton attacked fiercely, and the middle of the midfield where he was was also the hardest hit.
"Hey, little Paul!" Phil? Jones walked over and bumped Paul on the shoulder? Pogba, "You were too fucking soft in the first half, you didn't dare to resist when you were bullied, you have to run a little more in the second half, look at your body, who is not afraid of you?" That South African guy with Phil? Neville's old ghost, don't think about it, hit them with your body, you can kill them! ”
Speaking of which, Phil? Jones showed a hint of ruthlessness, "If Moyes dares to go to Rose?" Ross Barkley, I'll teach him how to play! After speaking, he showed a burst of laughter.
Everyone else in the locker room also laughed, this kid was so rough that he was ashamed to say that he wanted to teach others how to play football? But he is indeed bold, and when he says this, everyone thinks that Everton does not seem to be so scary!
"How? You guys, don't you don't talk, do you want to do it? "Phil? Jones stood up and asked aloud.
"I did it!" Paul? Pogba, who is also young, can't stand being looked down upon by his peers the most, shouting.
"I did it too!" Sandro also felt aggrieved.
"Fuck, fuck it!" The Danish demon Eriksen was also angry.
Coutinho, Raphael, Nastasic, Neymar and others also spoke out one after another and decided to do it with them!
"Captain, we've all decided to do it, what about you?" Phil? Jones looked at Raul defiantly.
The latter also stood up, while Spanish left-back Jordi Alba sat next to Raul, who was the only one who looked ahead, especially in Cesc Fabregas, David? With the departure of Silva's two big men, the only person he can come close to in Tottenham Hotspur is Raul, a senior from his country.
Raul looked at this group of young teammates, he had to admit that he was indeed old, without their passion, without their sharpness, he became more mature and rational, but sometimes, maturity and rationality also represent timidity, on behalf of cowardice.
"That's it!" Raul shouted as well.

Many people say that Neymar is a genius!
Indeed, from the moment he debuted, or rather, from the moment he received attention from the outside world, he has always had the aura of genius on his head, and many people have begun to compare him with Pele, Ronaldo, or at least Robinho, thinking that he is the future leader of Brazil, and he is an absolute genius.
When he was in Brazil, although Neymar was very hard working and hardworking, he still had a pride in his bones, he thought that he was indeed a genius, so he had to work hard to make himself a player who really deserved the title of talent.
This idea reached its peak after he was favored by Tottenham Hotspur, because everyone knew that the players favored by Tottenham Hotspur, especially those favored by Ye Qiu, could eventually become top players.
In the past few years, Tottenham Hotspur has been sculpting and helping him to improve, making him more suitable for the style of European football, but when Neymar participated in Tottenham Hotspur's training camp, although he was exposed and familiar with this style, he did not really understand it.
So much so that when he came to the Premier League, many people were surprised that Neymar seemed to have changed from a top talent to a mediocre talent overnight, and even many people who thought that he would shake the positions of Ribery and Messi when he came to the Premier League, and now they all think that he will become the next Denilson.
Who is Denelson?
At that time, he switched to Real Betis for an astonishing price, which was called a symbol of the revival of art Brazil by Brazilian fans, and was regarded by Brazilians as the most samba flavor of top stars, but in the end, in the European arena, especially La Liga, which is most in line with the playing style of Brazilian players, suffered the most painful Waterloo of his career.
Where has Denelson gone now?
Perhaps, even the most senior fans can't say it all at once, and Neymar himself doesn't know where he has gone.
But there was a real concern in his heart about whether he would be the next Denilson.
In Brazil, he can step on the ball, dangle from side to side, try to confuse defenders with some fancy moves, and if it's in Europe, it even looks a bit like a clown juggling, but in Brazil, it's often seen, and the defender makes a move, and you react to his move.
Neymar was clearly used to this style of play, but when he arrived in the Premier League, things changed completely.
As soon as you get the ball, the opponent is close, in the case of physical confrontation is not dominant, you can easily lose the ball at once, and Neymar raised his hand to say foul at the beginning, but the referee never blew the whistle, and even many times as soon as Neymar stepped on the ball, the opponent directly put the tackle, scared him so much that he had to dodge.
Of course, Neymar has had his moments of good shine, but the occasional flash of light can't hide his prolonged slump.
Then the Tottenham Hotspur coaching staff sent him to see Cristiano? Some videos and highlights of Ronaldo, and then let him go and see the current Cristiano? Ronaldo, as well as the videos and highlights of Messi and others, told him that this is the way of playing in Europe, and anyone who wants to integrate into the European professional league, has to play like this.
Maybe it's because of his father's indoctrination since he was a child, or because he came to the Premier League, entered Tottenham Hotspur, and saw what it means to have a heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the world, Neymar has a strong sense of worry, he is worried that he will become the next Denilson, he is worried that he will suffer a failure and return to Brazil in disgrace.
So in the past period of time, he has been training hard, trying to get rid of some of his playing habits, and at the same time, he is also trying to improve his upper body strength, because this can ensure that he can continue to maintain the reasonable use of skills in a certain degree of physical confrontation, otherwise, he will lose his balance as soon as he is touched by the body, how can he play?
Not only that, Neymar has seen Messi, Ribery and other top players with excellent skills, they are also very hard working and diligent in the game, and their physical fitness is also very good, so he himself has this aspect of awareness.
But, as the team behind him said, Ye Qiu values him because he has the cunning of the Brazilian and his excellent foot skills, so these things are his advantages and cannot be lost, but at the same time, he should better integrate into the league environment of the Premier League and the tactical style of Tottenham Hotspur under the condition of strengthening his own advantages.
Neymar has been developing step by step according to this goal, demanding himself, and in the process, his performance has also been greatly improved, and his performance has also improved, getting better and better.
Reflected in this game, although he scored the team's equaliser in the first half, Neymar is more satisfied with his attitude to the game, he actively invested in pressing in the game, actively participated in the team's defense and pressing, which is very rare.
In the second half, the pressure on Tottenham Hotspur was increasing, and he was also helping the team, helping his team-mates to share the pressure, not only defensively, but also running and cruising up front, although he was a right winger, sometimes to the middle, sometimes to the left, unpredictable.
Just like this time, Tottenham Hotspur finally got a chance to counterattack, Alba quickly dribbled the ball from the left to the front, Everton on the right side of Osman chased all the way, Neymar was worried about Alba's mistake, took the initiative to retreat, and behind him was Heitinga.
Alba played the ball to Neymar's feet and the Brazilian clinged to the touchline, but Alba's pass was not ideal, causing the Brazilian to fall straight into the two-man trap of Heitinga and Osman, losing his angle and route.
In this case, the vast majority of players in Europe's major professional leagues will consider kicking the ball to the opponent and out of the sideline to earn a throw-in, and it is obvious that Osman and Heitinga are also like this, so they subconsciously leave a gap for Neymar's move.
But just when Neymar took the ball with his back and blocked Heitinga behind him, one wanted to kick the ball to Osman with his right foot, the latter obviously gave way, Neymar seemed to have expected this, his right foot was very flexible, his heel knocked the ball to his left side, and his left foot kicked the ball forward, avoiding Heitinga behind him.
I saw Neymar from the bag of the two players, like a loach, cunningly using the inertial thinking of European players, using his juggling footwork, and just fighting a bloody way out of it and breaking through with the ball.
But it was not safe to come out, Heitinga kept following Neymar, and one of his arms was always on Neymar, as long as the Brazilian was relaxed, he could be entangled immediately, or even directly overturned.
Neymar crossed the ball at his feet and took it to the middle, and saw Raul running over to pick him up, so Neymar kicked the ball directly through Heitinga and passed it to Raul, Heitinga quickly caught up with Raul, but Raul passed directly diagonally to Fellaini's right side, Neymar shook off Heitinga, accelerated directly, and received the ball on Fellaini's right side.
Fellaini realized the danger and pestered Neymar to death, but he was tall and did not move as fast as Neymar, who never let him get close, especially since the Belgian had a gentle push movement, Neymar shook his body, but quickly balanced again.
If it was Neymar who had just landed in the Premier League, he would have been pushed down this time, but now his physical fitness is better, so it was just a flash, but he took the opportunity to pull out space with Fellaini, and rushed directly to Rodwell at the top of the big penalty area with the ball alone, and the England youngster was staring at Neymar like a big enemy.
There are roadblocks in front of him, and there are chasers in the back, Neymar faced Rodwell, rushed forward with the ball, and saw that he was about to enter the area where Rodwell could break the ball with his feet, but he saw Neymar suddenly pedaling a fast bicycle action, and the whole process was eye-catching, and Rodwell was stimulated, and he didn't have time to think about it, and directly used the ball breaking action that had been brewing in his mind for a long time, but at this time, Neymar poked the ball past him, and people also swept past him.
From the continuous breakthrough on the left just now, to getting rid of Fellaini, playing a bicycle at the front of the penalty area, and passing Rodwell to form a single knife, Neymar's entire dribbling process made everyone on the scene feel a burst of surprise, and even countless Everton fans exclaimed, goalkeeper Thiem? Howard was even more shocked, he certainly didn't expect Neymar to be able to break through so many people in a row.
The American goalkeeper didn't have time to think about it, so he just dropped the ball and wanted to pounce on Neymar's feet, but the Brazilian caught up with the ball and picked it lightly, he had already seen Howard's attack, and the pick was the best option.
The ball went over Howard's head and slowly fell into the goal behind him, 2:1!
Neymar did it!
He did what a talented player should do!
It's like a kind of reincarnation, when Messi faced Everton, he also staged a successful shot after several people in a row, helping Tottenham Hotspur win, and now, it's Neymar's turn!
