Sometimes Ye Qiu feels that the arrangement of troops on the football field, as a head coach, he can't be too cautious, but he can't be too crazy and risky, in the final analysis, he feels that there is a person's mentality that is worth learning from.

I still remember that in the past, in my hometown, a small village more than 60 kilometers away from Xiamen, in the process of urbanization, many middle-aged people in the village who were in the prime of life and were about 30 to 50 years old were at the age of doing business, and they liked to gamble money, because they suddenly got a huge amount of money in the process of urbanization and demolition.

As little as 100,000, more than 1 million, and even a certain part of the people more than 10 million, which was a huge amount of money that the farmers in the small villages at that time did not dare to imagine, although they lost their land, but with money, they began to enjoy life justifiably, rather than entering the nearby factories to continue working.

For a millionaire, it is more cost-effective to lend money to a familiar businessman to receive interest every month than to go to work in a factory, so gambling money has become a part of their daily life when they are not working.

But it's the same gambling money, some people gamble smartly, and some people gamble to bankrupt their families, for what?

There is such a group of people in Ye Qiu's old family, there are very few people in this group, they are the kind of gamblers who are very professional and make a living from gambling, and most of the remaining dozens of people are amateur gamblers.

Because there is such a group of good gamblers near the surrounding ten kilometers of Lang Road, there will be outside gamblers coming to gamble almost every day, and without exception, professional gamblers go up to face to face, while other amateur gamblers are betting on the sidelines.

Of course, there are also great gamblers from outside, so amateur gamblers have to look at the situation, who is in a good situation, who is in a bad situation, you have to know how to distinguish, and you have to know a word, and you can accept it when you see it!

Later, someone summed up a sentence, that is, in the village, all the people who gambled bankrupt are actually very stupid people, they only know how to do brute, and when they win, they bet desperately, wanting to win more, but after the most outcome, they not only lost all the money they won, but even lost their own capital, and when they lost, they were red-eyed, resulting in even worse losses.

The smart people who really gamble are every time they win or lose, I have a shallow taste, I will accept the money when I win, I will stop when I lose money, and I will come again next time, and usually this kind of person is often able to win more and lose less after the most reckless, because they will bet more and more savvy.

The psychology of gamblers is that you can't be red-eyed, can't be anxious, and can't blindly follow the dealer, you have to have your own judgment and rhythm.

Why does Ye Qiu feel that this kind of gambler psychology is worth learning from?

That's because he knows very well that no team can always be in great shape, you can't play every game of the season with one rhythm, and even he later analysed that Bielsa's Chile could not go far in the World Cup, is it because they have maintained the same style and rhythm for many games in a row?

When you played well in the last game, the opponent in the next game will be arranged according to the style you show and the weaknesses you have exposed.

Playing Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur is crazy, and the team's state has ushered in a climax, but this climactic state is not likely to last for a long time, so Ye Qiu must find a way to suppress this state, not only for long-term combat, but also to make some changes.

In Tottenham Hotspur's White Hart Lane match against Manchester City, the starting line-up was the same as Manchester United's, but the team's starting style was completely different from the previous game away at Old Trafford.

That Tottenham Hotspur was attacking and bombing indiscriminately as soon as it came up, but this one was not, Tottenham Hotspur started steadily and slowly, while Manchester City reversed the smooth style of play in the past, and pounced fiercely after the opening.

Manchester City's starting lineup for this game is 4231 tactics, and the goalkeeper is Joe? Hart, with Klich, Lescot, Hangrande and McCone at the back, and Yaya at the back? Toure and De Rossi, Modric, Sergio Aguero and Nasri up front, and Balotelli as the lone striker, who made his first appearance for Manchester City.

Less than 20 seconds into the game, Nasri won the ball on the right and broke through Marcelo's cross, where Sergio Aguero fired low from the left-hand edge of the box, but it was just wide of the left post and couldn't hit the back of the net, but it was certainly a precedent.

Then Manchester City started another round of attack, successively in the third, seventh and ninth minutes, launched a fierce attack on Tottenham Hotspur, and made five shots on goal in the first ten minutes, while Tottenham Hotspur only used a counter-attack to create a threat, but also failed to score.

The Tottenham Hotspur players on the pitch were as patient as the fans in the stands at White Hart Lane, because everyone believed that no team at Tottenham Hotspur's home stadium, or even in front of Tottenham Hotspur, could it be possible for Manchester City to maintain long-term pressure and dominance?

Ye Qiu always maintained patience on the sidelines, appropriately adjusting the team's tactics with gestures and shouts, and did not seem to have any thoughts and intentions to change the status quo of the game, especially when he realized that Manchester City wanted to play Pirlo's single midfielder, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Am I that stupid?" Although Ye Qiu's question is to ask Mauro? Tassotti, but in fact he was tempted to ask Mancini.

Everyone in the world knows that the single back is not suitable for the existing tactical play, but Ye Qiu dares to play a single back waist, isn't he afraid of committing this taboo? Isn't he afraid that others will hit the weakness of his single back?

In fact, Tottenham Hotspur's entire central pitch can be seen as a whole.

Cavani was up front, but he defended aggressively, with Ramsey and Vidal behind Cavani, and they used their runs and covers to link up the area between Cavani and Pirlo, with Pirlo standing behind the two of them, Thiago? Silva and Kompany were behind and around Pirlo.

At first glance, the four lines are very distinct, but if you pay attention to it on the playing field, it is not difficult to find that Tottenham Hotspur's four lines are definitely no more than 40 meters from the front to the back, and even compressed to less than 30 meters in some cases.

What does this mean? This means that it is difficult to tell whether it is a single back, a double back, or even a triple back!

Theoretically, it is a single back, only Pirlo, but because the distance is short, Vidal and Ramsey can be regarded as a double back if anyone appears around Pirlo, Thiago? Either Silva or Kompany is a little forward, they can be regarded as a hitter next to Pirlo, and they are also double midfielders, and even if one central midfielder comes back and one double central defender goes up, it is a back three, and the wave defense can ensure that after the double central defender goes up to one, the full-back on his side will take the initiative to drag back.

What does it mean to be integrated? That's all about blending in!

So, when Manchester City started the game, it seemed that they had the advantage, frequently attacking, threatening Tottenham Hotspur's goal again and again, but in reality, they had few really threatening shots, and more often relied on wide crosses or long-range shots from the middle.

Manchester City is not under pressure now, they played the Champions League qualifiers in midweek, although they successfully qualified, but the physical consumption is not small, and now they are visiting the White Hart Lane Stadium, after the opening is a round of attack, Ye Qiu is also holding a trial attitude in this game, coupled with the strategy formulated before the game, let you attack after the opening.

"There will always be some people who will think others are fools at some point!" Mauro? Tassotti said with a smile, "Mancini was a little less calm in this game, after the 5-1 home win over Udinese, he looked a little arrogant, thinking that his team is enough to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona. ”

Roberto Mancini said, "I don't think we've overtaken Real Madrid, Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur at this moment, but we can say that we're on the same level as the top clubs, or very close to them. ”

You can interpret this sentence as his ambition, and you can see that he wants to boost the morale of the team through such words, but it should be noted that no matter which point of view, from the perspective of the Premier League and the Champions League, you are not qualified to stand with the top giants, or the gap is not ordinarily large.

Of course, it must be admitted that the current Manchester City squad is indeed extremely strong, whether it is the thickness of the bench or the main lineup, it is very good, even if it insists on fighting on two lines, it can form an effective rotation, but if you want to challenge the giants, they can face off with Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and other giants with declining strength, but with Tottenham Hotspur?

"They still have a long way to go!" Ye Qiu smiled at his assistant's words.

Tottenham Hotspur's style is interesting, resilient and pestering.

Manchester City rushed to attack after the opening, and Tottenham Hotspur chose to avoid its edge, but you Manchester City team can't attack for a long time, especially when my defense can effectively contain your attack, how long can your attack last?

If you have the courage to press all the players to attack, then your advantage is definitely obvious, but it can only be in a short period of time, but it is a very complex system engineering to control the rhythm of the game, and even many times, in a game, you can't tell who is controlling the rhythm, or who is influencing the change of rhythm.

Strictly speaking, the rhythm cannot be completely controlled by either side, because you only have eleven people, and the other side has eleven people, even if you can control the rhythm of your own eleven people, how can you control the other party's eleven people?

Not to mention that for the vast majority of teams, controlling the rhythm of their eleven players is a big problem!

Then, the so-called control of the rhythm is better to guide the rhythm, to guide the rhythm of the game into the kind of rhythm that is more suitable for your own play, or to play in the rhythm that you have arranged in advance, which is like a tug-of-war, you pull to your side, I pull to my side.

But the problem is that football is not a tug-of-war, so if you pull it out fiercely, I just let go, and all of you have to fall, and then I go over and kill you, and you're finished.

So Tottenham Hotspur's tactics in this game are very interesting, after the opening saw that Manchester City wanted to attack, Ye Qiu arranged players to let Manchester City attack, and he was in an orderly manner to defend and not rush to attack, which directly led to the passivity after the opening, but it did not give Manchester City too good a chance to score.

Mancini is not stupid, he gradually realized the difficulty of Tottenham Hotspur, and also realized that his targeted attack was difficult to work, and also knew that the team could not maintain this kind of fast-paced attack for a long time, so he wanted to stabilize, slow down the rhythm appropriately, and even shrink the overall forward pressure formation.

But at this time, Tottenham Hotspur took the initiative to entangle, not letting you slow down and not letting you shrink.

The first fifteen minutes were fifteen minutes of Manchester City's crazy attack, but from fifteen minutes to thirty minutes, it completely became a scuffle between the two sides, and the game seemed very chaotic, but this chaos was a good thing for Tottenham Hotspur, but for Manchester City, it was not necessarily.

Because this is Ye Qiu doing this on purpose, the purpose is to not give Manchester City any respite.

Mancini is suffering now, he even has the urge to scold, just now I played the attack, you don't dare, now I don't attack, but you are wrapped up with a dead face, what do you want to do? Can you still have a bit of discipline? Do you look like a strong team? Do you have the demeanor of a strong team?

After 30 minutes, Tottenham Hotspur's advantage became obvious, especially when he realized that Manchester City was gradually unable to keep up, Ye Qiu signaled the team to continue to invest in the attack.

I didn't do my best just now, I was saving my strength to fight you, purely to consume you, and now that I see that you are almost consumed, of course I want to start turning the situation around, do I want to let this opportunity be missed in front of me?

In the 32nd minute, an interesting phenomenon was very obvious to show the reversal of the situation between the two sides, that is, Alves rushed to the front to participate in the attack, and Modric, who returned to the defense, pulled down his former teammate and was shown a yellow card by the referee.

Even Andy, who commented on this game? Gray and Richard? Keith is starting to realise that there is something wrong with City.

"I pounced so hard after the opening that I'm a little out of breath now!" Richard? Keith said with a smile.

If Alves' forward insertion just now was a test of the water temperature, then after testing the real situation of Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur will soon come to you for real.

Marcelo stepped forward once, got Pirlo's ball, and then dribbled forward into the Manchester City half, first with Ramsey after a two-way side collision with the wall, and then went to the front to find Messi who switched to the left side, and went straight to the left side of the penalty area.

Messi and McConn, if purely from the height point of view, Messi is at a disadvantage, but Messi's upper body strength is not bad, he can gain a foothold in the Premier League, and his ability in this aspect cannot be too bad, otherwise, if he is knocked down, it is impossible to gain a foothold in the mainstream European professional league.

In fact, in previous lives, a considerable number of fans ignored the strength of Messi's upper limbs, so much so that there was a delusion that he could only stand in La Liga and find it difficult to gain a foothold in other European leagues.

Although Ye Qiu's previous life Messi did have the bonus effect of Barcelona's tactical system in La Liga, his super personal strength should not be underestimated, coupled with his modest learning attitude, he was finally able to become the first person in world football.

McCone undoubtedly made the same mistake as many fans in Ye Qiu's previous life, he mistakenly thought that a short player like Messi could use his physical fitness and strength to squeeze him, and he would be able to contain him, but what surprised him was that Messi made a sharp turn of flexibility under his physical confrontation.

This made McCone a little unexpected, and even lost his balance in his body for a while, and wanted to chase it back, but he saw that Messi had turned around and was rushing forward quickly, and Messi's ability to start at the moment of turning around is almost unmatched by anyone in today's football, because he is smaller, his body is more flexible, and his starting speed is faster.

After shaking off McConn, Messi caught up with Marcelo's through ball in the blink of an eye, but he didn't love the ball, but directly kicked a low flat ball and passed the ball to the left side of the small penalty area.

At the same time as Messi shook off McConn, in the Manchester City penalty area, Cavani also rushed up from behind, took advantage of the late attack, blocked Hangrande with his body, and sent Messi's incoming ball on the left side into Joe? The bottom left corner of the goal guarded by Hart is almost the bottom of the net that grabs the left post, 1:0!

The entire White Hart Lane stadium was completely ignited, and all the fans, men and women, young and old, rushed out of their seats to meet Cavani who rushed out of the stadium with open arms, and there was an overwhelming cheer.

"I'll just say, you started so fiercely, you can't get it back now, Tottenham Hotspur is too good at playing rhythm battles, on the surface Manchester City has the advantage, but in fact this is stepping into the trap of Tottenham Hotspur." Richard? Keith shook his head and sighed, Mancini's adaptability and ability to observe the situation in this game was too weak.

Andy? Gray also sighed, "Tottenham Hotspur originally had the ability to play against Manchester City, but Ye Qiu's game was completely different from the last game against Manchester United, the last game was a hard match, but this one he didn't fight with you, I will consume you first, and then slowly clean you up, you see the ...... the result"

"Mancini has to react as soon as possible, Tottenham Hotspur will chase after him!" Richard? Keith predicted.

Andy? Gray smiled, "This is Tottenham Hotspur's style, and it is also Ye Qiu's style!" ”

Sure enough, after scoring the first goal, Tottenham Hotspur immediately sounded the horn of a round of indiscriminate bombardment, and in the following minutes, it kept hitting Manchester City's goal, successively in the 38th, 39th and 40th minutes, three consecutive attacks into the Manchester City penalty area, got two chances to score, and the Manchester City penalty area was suddenly in a storm.

But in Yaya? When Toure and De Rossi both returned to the front of the penalty area, in the 41st minute, the front court changed positions again, Messi took the ball in the middle and turned to get rid of the diagonal pass to the left side, Ribery used his speed to shake off McConn, crossed the back point from the left, Cavani beat Klich on the right, and the header broke through Manchester City's goal again, 2:0!

At this point, there is no suspense in the game! In the lower left corner of the door, it is almost the bottom of the net that rubs the left column into it, 1:0!

The entire White Hart Lane stadium was completely ignited, and all the fans, men and women, young and old, rushed out of their seats to meet Cavani who rushed out of the stadium with open arms, and there was an overwhelming cheer.

"I'll just say, you started so fiercely, you can't get it back now, Tottenham Hotspur is too good at playing rhythm battles, on the surface Manchester City has the advantage, but in fact this is stepping into the trap of Tottenham Hotspur." Richard? Keith shook his head and sighed, Mancini's adaptability and ability to observe the situation in this game was too weak.

Andy? Gray also sighed, "Tottenham Hotspur originally had the ability to play against Manchester City, but Ye Qiu's game was completely different from the last game against Manchester United, the last game was a hard match, but this one he didn't fight with you, I will consume you first, and then slowly clean you up, you see the ...... the result"
