Section 398 Great victory
Although Li Bin said that he wanted to learn from West Ham United, when it came time for the two teams to play, Tottenham still crushed West Ham United mercilessly.
Although West Ham United's youth training is very good, the strength of the first team is not very good. In this game, the players who were suspended by Tottenham returned to the game, and it happened to vent all the depression of their ban on West Ham United. Soon after the break, in a counter-attacking opportunity, Yaya Toure went straight to Suarez, Suarez cut in from the wing and crossed, Cavani flanked it and stabbed it into the back of the net.
Suarez, who returned to the team, was clearly active and soon had a goal of his own. Kolarov, who was at the back, got the ball, pushed forward to the halfway line and then played a long ball to the right flank. Di Maria, who got the ball, cut inside and sent the ball into the box, Cavani took the ball and gave it to Suarez, who broke through the Epson defense and fired a shot into the far corner and into the net.
With two goals, Tottenham became more and more bold, and before half-time, Yaya Toure relied on a free-kick opportunity to score from distance to extend the score to 3-0.
By the end of the first half, Tottenham had equalled their best performance of the season. However, Tottenham's players are not very satisfied. In fact, they also have reason to be dissatisfied: since Di Maria was injured before the game against Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur has only played one game against Manchester United with a full number of players in front, and at other times, there are either injuries or suspensions, so they naturally can't play a decent game. In the second half, Tottenham stepped up their attacking efforts and soon had their fourth goal from a corner – this time it was Gustavo who grabbed the team's second spot in front of the box and fired a long-range shot into the back of the net.
However, after scoring the fourth goal, Tottenham were happy and sad - in one of the defenses, Dawson strained his muscles because he was too forced, and he could no longer hold on.
This also forced Li Bin to send Boateng, who can play as a central defender, and at the same time, replaced Suarez on the forward line and replaced Hoddlestone, adjusting the formation to be more defensive.
It worked well, but Tottenham didn't continue to extend the scoreline. Although Jerome Boateng did not play particularly well after coming on the pitch, and it can even be said that he was a little reckless, Tottenham still won by a big margin and did not travel again in the next game. A 4-0 win was the best result of the season, but the injury report said Dawson had to rest for a month and a half.
"It's good that Thiago Silva and Woodgate are pretty much in the mood for now, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do...... Tottenham's defenders, why are they so injured? Esposito also had a hard time understanding this, "Our training is not heavy, and our diet is also adjusting, why are there still so many injuries?" ”
"It's hard to return." Li Bin simply concluded, "Tottenham is a team that used to be too careless. If you go out and look, not far from the Chipwell training base, there's McDonald's – who is this aimed at? Eating junk food for a long time is not good for normal people, let alone athletes? The decrease in the body's ability to withstand the load caused by such a diet problem cannot be changed in the short term, and we should not be in a hurry. ”
Li Bin knew that what Esposito said was right, the current training volume is not large, and it stands to reason that there should be no accident. However, Tottenham's problems have accumulated over the years, and they cannot be fixed with a single meal. Players have accumulated a lot of injuries in the past, and now the chance of recurrence is high, just like a machine, there are already many parts that have been damaged, and no matter how careful you are, there may be problems.
Ramos took over the team last season and thought about adjusting his diet in the short term, so that the players could adjust as soon as possible. However, the result of his actions was a rapid increase in the weight of the players, which in turn caused more injuries and ended up in 11th in the league. Tottenham's accumulated problems are too big to be fixed in the time of a game or two. Maintenance of old injuries is more important than treatment, and maintenance is not a job that can be effective in the short term.
"You always say you can't be in a hurry, but the defenders are injured all over the place, and the healthiest one now is Ledley King - Ledley King's health, can you rest assured?"
"If you don't worry, what's the solution, no matter what, you have to wait until winter to make plans. Also, we've improved our attacking side of the team, which is a good sign, because our focus this season is still on the league, and against the weaker teams, the attack is more effective than the defense. ”
In this game, Tottenham's attack has indeed begun to take shape. Suarez's pull to the right side, the cooperation with Di Maria, and Cavani's running response, is that they have now formed a very good offensive routine, and on the left side of Bale, can now complete a very good outflanking in place, forming another point of attack, compared to the beginning of the season can only play long passes, has improved a lot - the biggest improvement is Suarez and Bale, the former's side play shows his skills and brains, and the latter play is simple, But it works perfectly, no ball practice outflanking, Bale's focus on learning is very right, and the progress of the two of them is the most gratifying.
4-0 was the best goal played by Tottenham since Li Bin took over, but Li Bin believes that it will definitely not be the best goal of the season.
Soon, in the next game, it will be time to test Tottenham's defensive level even more. Their opponents in this game are Blackburn Rovers, even in the Premier League, who have the title of violent Ben.
Compared to West Ham United, Blackburn may not be better in attack and defense, but under the large-scale penalty of the Premier League, they can cause more problems for Tottenham.
However, after the baptism of high-intensity matches in the previous games, Tottenham finally played an excellent form in this game. Not long after the game started, Bale dribbled the ball from the left side, directly relied on the speed to eat the bottom line and wiped it in, and then did it back, so that Suarez, who was in the penalty area, seized the opportunity and scored a goal.
Against these Premier League teams, you can't play too delicately with them. Thinking that the half-court attack was slowly passed, it would definitely be interrupted by their kick, or such a simple and crude attack, which came directly.
After scoring a goal, Tottenham's attack was more simplistic, and in the second half, Li Bin made a personnel change, and after Kevin Boateng was replaced, he quickly scored with a long-range shot to strengthen the goal for Tottenham.
Li Bin still has not given up the exploration of the team's overall tactics. Now that the frontcourt framework is in place, it's time to test other tactics. This time, he's trying to bring Kevin Boateng on as a substitute for Yaya Toure to see if anything can change.
Boateng's long-range shooting skills were obviously good, and after coming on the pitch, he scored a goal immediately after receiving a return pass.
'Tottenham's attack is really getting better and better now, they're not just starting to score more goals, they're starting to blossom a little bit more and everybody is able to try to score goals. Tottenham's midfielders, most of whom have scored one or two goals, are very spread out, which is what sets them apart from other teams......
Tottenham's current situation is indeed strange compared to other teams, although they have the main scoring points, Suarez and Yaya Toure, but their other players also score a lot of goals, such a distribution is very rare. For example, Liverpool, their scoring points are Torres and Gerrard, except for these two, everyone else's scoring is very inconsistent, like Tottenham, there are not many teams that have scored from the main force to the bench in the front.
However, this situation is what Li Bin has long wanted to achieve: he knows that there is no particularly good scorer in his team, and it is not easy for a team of Tottenham's level to expect a particularly stable scoring point. None of these players are particularly outstanding enough to take on enough responsibility to score 40 goals in a season and become the team's leading scorer. And if you can't score 40 goals and want to do a big deal, in Li Bin's view, it will be detrimental to the team's results. In that case, he simply let the players grab more opportunities on their own, try to attack more, and give everyone in the front court a chance.
His style of play requires a quick attack, trying to create chances in the shortest time, the shortest pass, and not asking for chances every time, so the team has a lot of chances, and he lets go so that the players can try more, rather than have a safe chance, but also have the courage to try, just so that everyone has a chance to shoot. In this way, when the players are playing on the pitch, everyone has the potential to improve to a certain extent, and they can increase their confidence in the game and play better and better. Although the players still have some situations where they can't grasp the opportunity, they will still increase with the optimization of the coordination and the improvement of their skills, which is enough to make Tottenham's attack improve step by step.
In the previous games, Tottenham and Blackburn played in more violent teams, although they could have a chance, but because of the opponent's tight pressing and rough movements, they couldn't grasp the opportunities that they were already bad at, so they couldn't play a good game. And now, Tottenham's cooperation is getting better and better, the players have better opportunities, and they can also grasp it, and there will naturally be more goals.
If it is a pure counter-attacking team, even against a weak team, it is not easy to play, but now Tottenham is not a pure counter-attacking team. Li Bin wants to put the organizer on the side in the future, so the formation he chooses can also improve the overall strength of the team with the improvement of the ability of the players on the side. The current Tottenham Hotspur has only improved to the point of being able to hold the ball in the front court, and has not yet improved to the point where it can cooperate smoothly in the front court, Li Bin believes that at that time, Tottenham's attack will be further improved.
Two goals were not the end, and towards the end of the game, a corner kick was again scored by Edinson Cavani, once 3-0, and Tottenham finally got a good win against a team like Blackburn Rovers in the traditional school of the Premier League.
What makes Li Bin even happier is that after this game, Tottenham will not have any too difficult opponents in the next games. Until they met Liverpool on the Christmas schedule, they didn't have to face a strong opponent for a long time.
Of course, what Li Bin said about not having to face a strong opponent does not include Manchester City - because Tottenham's next round of games is against Manchester City.
