Section 567 Summit Gathering
After beating Manchester United in the thirtieth round, Tottenham's next opponent is Real Madrid, who meet in the Champions League. Li Bin was also a little surprised that he drew Real Madrid early, but he had nothing to fear of this opponent.
Real Madrid were unable to sell the Coentrão and Di Maria that Mourinho wanted in the summer, but this did not prevent them from reinforcing them, and they still managed to buy Mesut Ozil as a midfielder, and at the same time bought Hazard recommended by Zinedine Zidane as their other wide option. This season, although they still haven't been able to beat Barcelona, as Mourinho said, they have improved a lot, at least, they are no longer afraid to face Barcelona, and even won 2-2. This also made Mourinho extremely excited, and after learning that his opponent was Tottenham, he immediately said, "Tottenham? When I led the team to play in the Premier League, I never paid attention to Tottenham, and there is no need for Real Madrid to care about their quality. ”
Mourinho's speech is indeed a good revelation that Tottenham has no history, but Li Bin also pushed back with just one sentence for such a statement, "Obviously, Coach Mourinho has forgotten that the bus tactic he is using now in Real Madrid is the one he used to name Tottenham's tactics back then." He said he hadn't heard of Tottenham, so he should have remembered how to put the bus, right? I think they'll do it to us, and don't forget that that's what Tottenham taught him. ”
Li Bin knows very well that although Mourinho is a person who likes to find cheap on words, his ability is not weak at all. Although he is very strong, his tactics are also very strong. And his tactic, in the final analysis, is the most effective, that is, a bus tactic that anyone who sees it will have a headache. Li Bin asked himself if his team was strong enough to make anyone who was playing against him feel tricky, but what would Mourinho do if he felt tricky for his team? Li Bin is sure that he will definitely set up the bus.
As Li Bin expected, Mourinho let Alonso, Khedira and Pepe serve as the back at the same time in the game, and Ramos and Carvalho were used in the back line, and only Benzema, Ozil and Ronaldo were used in the front, and they refused to come forward to attack, just waiting for a counterattack.
But this kind of kicking style is also what Li Bin is most happy about: since the opponent wants to rely on the stubborn counterattack and Li Bin's consumption, then Li Bin can rely on steady progress to crush the opponent little by little. Real Madrid left the entire midfield to Tottenham, and Tottenham's players could naturally get up front. Tottenham's players are not Barcelona's players who only have skills and do not have enough body, and if they want to rely on counter-attacking tactics to fight against Tottenham, Li Bin is still quite happy.
"Real Madrid counterattacks, relying on the absolute strength of their players to be a cut above the opponent, the work of the foot is one-on-one without suffering, and then, relying on the consciousness of passing the ball fast enough, counterattacking sharp enough, you can play a decent opportunity. This kind of counterattack tactics is really simple, and to deal with them, you don't need any overly advanced tactics, just the tactics of deploying layers of defense and slowly advancing, which is enough to kill them. ”
Li Bin still feels a little pity that Real Madrid still embarked on the same path: Mourinho still couldn't jump out of his own set of practices, in order to race with Barcelona in the league, in order to defeat Barcelona with poor defense, he thought of this tactic. This tactic is useful for playing Barcelona, but against other teams, the effect is really not big - in memory, Mourinho was in Real Madrid for three years, three years in the semifinals, and he couldn't get into the final.
There is nothing to be afraid of such an opponent. In this regard, Li Bin's approach is also very simple: Tottenham's players, after the start of the game, quickly concentrated Bale and Di Maria on the right side, and Suarez, who started the game, also pulled to this side to respond: Real Madrid's defensive shortcomings, only Marcelo on the left side of the defense is not good enough, then, Tottenham must break through from here.
And their tactics soon paid off: Marcelo had little room to resist under Tottenham's onslaught. Although Pepe in the middle has always tried to help him fight back, the result of this is that the sweep in the middle is basically gone. At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid was able to rely on Pepe's relentless sweep to stop Tottenham in the midfield, but thirty minutes later, after Tottenham got the ball once, they saw Pepe defend to the left side, and Piszczek directly gave the ball to the feet of Coentrão. Coentrão struck forward with the ball, rushed to the edge of the box and slid the ball to Cavani with a diagonal shot. Cavani, who was in the penalty area, received the ball and didn't wait for Carvalho to make up for it, he had already hit the near corner and sent the ball into the net.
'Tottenham scored their first goal...... It seems that there are some problems with Real Madrid's tactics, and this kind of sweep works well for Barcelona, but it doesn't seem to work very well against Tottenham......"
Pepe was still running wildly in midfield, but unfortunately, his scrambling was not particularly effective for Tottenham. Against Barcelona, his physical advantage was too great, and almost none of Barcelona's midfielders could dominate in front of his body, and even if he could protect the ball, it was difficult to pass forward, and naturally he couldn't play well. However, when it came to playing against Tottenham, none of Tottenham's players had such a big disadvantage in physical confrontation, and this tactical advantage naturally no longer existed.
Of course, Real Madrid also tried to counterattack, but Real Madrid's counterattack itself was a lack of front-field points and depended on Ronaldo. Li Bin directly told the team, strangled Ozil, and at the same time suppressed Marcelo by attacking, Ronaldo, who wanted to counterattack in the front, could only rely on himself to carry the ball to launch an impact - scoring a goal in the half with the ball, Ronaldo can do it, but the probability of doing it is really not high. His own team retreats and defends, which is equivalent to making it much easier for the opponent to divide and split the midfield, so it is possible to deal with Barcelona because there are few people in Barcelona's backfield, but Mourinho is obviously unreliable to deal with Tottenham in the same way as Barcelona.
Soon, Tottenham took the initiative at the Bernabeu. Although this Real Madrid is already very strong, however, their tactics are not right, and when Tottenham deal with them, although it is difficult, they also win beautifully. In the second half, under the continuous attack, Marcelo's defense finally made a mistake, Di Maria once stuffed the ball straight to the bottom line was picked up by Suarez, and he directly passed back to the middle. In the middle of the road, Bale, who was inserted forward, made a somersault-like movement and pushed the ball into the net at once.
At 2-0, Tottenham's lead widened quickly. Although after that, Ronaldo did not choose to come by himself after getting the ball again, but passed it to Benzema, which made Tottenham's back line a little loose, and Benzema took the opportunity to score a goal, but then, Palmery strengthened the defense against Benzema, which also made Benzema no longer have a chance to score. However, in the final moments of the game, Yaya Toure scored from a free-kick to extend Tottenham's advantage again, and the game ended 3-1.
This game can be regarded as the first difficult game that Tottenham have encountered this season. Although they still won 3-1, the consumption of the whole game was also very high. Even after the victory, Li Bin had to sigh: Mourinho's tactics, with good enough players, are indeed quite difficult to play.
"This Real Madrid team has no positional ability, no set-piece ability, such a team, and they also say that they want to play against my team, don't dream."
After the game, Li Bin did not forget to leave a sentence to cause Mourinho some trouble. Although he is not very afraid of Mourinho's team, they are very annoying, so why not give them some trouble?
Real Madrid has received a lot of criticism in La Liga for not playing flamboyantly enough, and this time, the accusations against Mourinho have intensified. Back in the league, Li Bin took his team and played two games in the league - whether it was Arsenal or Liverpool, they drew with Tottenham in the game, and Tottenham won only one rematch against Blackpool. Such a serious stroke did not leave Tottenham behind. After 32 rounds, Tottenham missed two games, but still 23 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses, with 74 points, it is impossible for other teams to catch up with them.
Enough rest ensures that their physical strength is not too depleted. And when he met Real Madrid in the second leg, Li Bin didn't go to entangle with them in midfield. He pulled all his players back into the penalty area and set up a bus in his penalty area. Such a tactic makes Real Madrid, which is unfavorable in positional warfare, have no choice. Although they wanted to rely on their own attacks to break down the Tottenham defense, however, their attacks were not at all presentable, and after repeated unsuccessful attacks, they themselves were in chaos, although in the end Ronaldo's frequent long-range shots allowed him to break through the door of Tottenham once, but Tottenham still won the game with a score of 3-2 over two legs.
"It's unethical, they're playing 19th century football." In this regard, Mourinho also made a statement after the game. But without Li Bin opening his mouth, the saliva of other media has already drowned him: Mourinho is the most unqualified to accuse his opponent of such a thing.
La Liga was in a hurry, obviously there was some noise, and after this game, Tottenham Hotspur also quickly defeated Newcastle in the league, and then, before the game with Chelsea, they also received new news: in the Champions League, their next opponent will be Manchester United. On the other side, Barcelona is going to deal with Bayern, an injured major general, and compete for another place.
"It's good that other teams play in the final, and it doesn't seem to be enough fun for us. Only a team of Barcelona's level meets in the final to be considered a memorable match. ”
Winning against another team, even if you defend the title, is just a champion. However, in the final, a match against the strongest Barcelona, such a game is the game that Li Bin dreams of: if we don't beat the strongest team of this era, our victory will not be of much significance. The battle for the top is the only way for Tottenham to reach the top!
