Chapter 781: Pig Killing Knife
Tottenham Hotspur's 4o home win over Real Madrid stunned fans and media around the world.
You know, Tottenham Hotspur played AC Milan in the round of 16 knockout round, everyone originally thought that the Rossoneri were too weak, after all, the Serie A league has been in a slump in the past few seasons, but what everyone didn't expect was that in the first game of the quarterfinals, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Real Madrid by a big score.
Is this the rhythm of defending the Champions League again?
Edinson Cavani, who made a name for himself in this match, made a name for himself and the Uruguayan centre-forward's appearance in this match amazed fans around the world and made him the focus and object of media attention once again.
On the second day of the game, almost all the media and newspapers reported the game as a front-page headline, and Edinson Cavani was a key part of the coverage, and everyone believed that it was Cavani who was the standout of Tottenham Hotspur to beat Real Madrid.
On this night, the Uruguayan starlight finally overshadowed Messi and Ribery
But while hyping Cavani, many media have also moved out the previous news materials to reorganize, they began to pay attention to Cavani's contract renewal with Tottenham Hotspur, the Uruguayan contract renewal negotiations have been going on for more than half a year, but there has been no progress, especially in the second half of this season, many people have begun to hype Cavani to leave.
With two years left on his contract, Cavani will either renew his contract or leave, which is a normal choice in professional football.
The media and newspapers close to Tottenham, as well as Tottenham Hotspur fans, want Cavani to stay, but there are also a significant number of people who believe that Tottenham Hotspur should not consider upsetting the salary balance for Cavani again.
Martin Samuel mentioned in his column, "Tottenham Hotspur has been strong in the past few years, enough to prove one thing to everyone, that is, no one is indispensable in this team, if anyone is an indispensable member of Tottenham Hotspur's rise, it can only be manager Ye Qiu." ”
"In the wishes of the fans, they naturally want the team to keep Cavani, and even many people shouted that they were relaxed and gave the stars in the team a raise, but they didn't know what the salary increase meant."
"According to Cavani's agent's request to the club, although it has been loosened from the previous 300,000 pounds per week, it has been reduced to 250,000 pounds per week, but the question is that once the team agrees to Cavani's request, then as the team's number one superstar, what should be Messi and Ribery's salary?"
"Also, captain Thiago Silva is the backbone of the team's defense, Cech and Kompany's contract renewals are also on the agenda, and midfielders Vidal and Ramsey will also sign new contracts for 6 extensions in the future, and new contracts for Kyle Walker, Marcelo, Hazzard, Neymar and others will also start to prepare."
"Tottenham Hotspur proposed to control the team's salary in a reasonable proportion of 4o4 of fiscal revenue, but if it really follows the current situation, Cavani will drive Tottenham's weekly salary to at least 200,000 pounds, and Tottenham Hotspur's annual salary expenditure will exceed 200 million, entering the top three in the UK."
"Obviously, the price to pay is too great, on the one hand, we have to admit that Cavani is indeed a vital part of the team, but he is only part of the team, we can't break the healthy financial system that has been held for many years for him, and on the other hand, we have to be clear that unless Tottenham Hotspur transforms into a team like Manchester City, Newcastle, or Real Madrid and Barcelona, there is no one who can afford Cavani's staggering salary. That's completely unreasonable. ”
In the column, the big fat man who has a lot to do with Tottenham Hotspur expressed his opinion, "I personally believe that Tottenham Hotspur should do their best to keep Cavani, guarantee him the highest salary in the team, and use the club's business model to help him increase his income, but if this does not satisfy Cavani, then it is better to get together and disperse." ”
The Times also published news that Tottenham Hotspur's scout Peter De Visel went to Genoa, Italy, to observe Genoa's Italian center forward Chiro Immobile, the 22-year-old Italian center forward has made 20 appearances in Genoa this season, but only five goals and three assists, which is quite average.
Immobile's biggest highlight is last season, he played for Zeman's Pescara in Serie B, under the tutelage of Zeman, who is known as an offensive can ignore Qiē, Immobile scored 28 goals in a season, although it is a goal in Serie B, but for a young center forward, it is also eye-catching.
The Times is only a report on Tottenham Hotspur's inspection of Immobile, after all, Peter De Visser has inspected many players, and he recently went to see the Bayern Munich game, focusing on Thomas Muller and Mandzukic, and also went to see the Dortmund game and inspected Lewandowski.
Therefore, no one cares about this matter, after all, no one will think that Immobile, who had a terrible first Serie A season, is qualified to play for Tottenham Hotspur, and the gap between the two is really not ordinarily large.
Tottenham Hotspur beat Real Madrid 4o in the first round, and the other games were also won and lost by 66 consecutive games.
Dortmund, who are in the same semi-zone as Tottenham, drew away to Málaga but Jurgen Klopp's side are still very hopeful of progressing at home, and given that Tottenham Hotspur have already won a landslide victory, there is widespread speculation in the media that Tottenham will meet Borussia Dortmund in the semi-finals.
In the other half, Bayern Munich beat Juventus at home and Paris Saint-Germain drew Barcelona at home, both of which were not exciting enough to be played a day later than Tottenham Hotspur's game, but the reaction from the fans was generally not high, especially Barcelona, a very disappointing game
But the suspense of the second leg is very large, except for Tottenham Hotspur Hotspur won by a big score, basically got the right to advance, the second leg of the other three teams are full of suspense, who can advance has become the object of attention of fans and media.
After the Champions League match, Tottenham Hotspur is about to usher in the 32nd round of the English League.
This time Liverpool played an hour earlier than Tottenham Hotspur and both were played on Saturday evening, but interestingly, both games were drawn, with Liverpool drawing with West Ham and Tottenham drawing with Everton.
Ye Qiu was forced to draw in the first half, but quickly turned the tide in the second half, Drogba's goal helped Tottenham Hotspur to come out again, but in the final moment, Varane's mistake caused Tottenham to concede.
Both goals conceded in this game were linked to Raphael Varane, the young centre-back who replaced Thiago Silva and partnered Kompany, who had a poor and controversial post-match performance, and in the eyes of many, he did not seem to deserve it.
But Ye Qiu repeatedly defended Varane in an interview with the media after the game, he believes that Varane performed very well throughout the game, and everyone should not just focus on his mistakes, but should see how much he has done in this game, and he is still young, and young people should be forgiven and forgiven when they make mistakes, not criticism and condemnation.
In midweek, Tottenham Hotspur appeared at the Bernabeu Stadium after rotation, and Ye Qiu's team continued to follow the tactics of the second half of the round, using the ball in the midfield and backfield, and adopting the tactics of shrinking in the midfield, forcing Real Madrid to press out and play, and then play Real Madrid's counterattack.
Faced with this sensible but desperate style of play from Tottenham Hotspur, the Chilean engineers did not have a very effective way to defeat Tottenham Hotspur at home, with Franck Ribery and Edinson Cavani scoring a goal each to help Tottenham Hotspur win away at Real Madrid.
As a result, Tottenham Hotspur knocked out the La Liga giants from the Champions League with a two-legged aggregate score and progressed to the semi-finals, while the other three teams reached the semi-finals were Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Barcelona.
However, Tottenham's situation has not eased by qualifying for the semi-finals, on the contrary, as the end of the league draws near, the competition on all fronts has begun to tighten, and the pressure on Tottenham Hotspur is increasing.
Three days after the away trip to the Bernabeu, Tottenham Hotspur travelled to Anfield to take on Liverpool.
Considering the game with Real Madrid, Ye Qiu made a proper rotation of the team's lineup, but this time the team's rotation was met with Liverpool's almost suffocating suppression, the team was very bad in the first half, and what is worse is that the central defender combination of Nesta and Nastasic conceded two goals in a row under the impact of Suarez, Villa, Mata and Gerrard, etc., and Tottenham Hotspur lost in the first half.
In the second half, Ye Qiu made substitutions and made changes to the team's situation, although Neymar's cross assisted Drogba's header to score, but in the end the team still hated Anfield.
This also hit Tottenham Hotspur hard, and Ye Qiu clearly saw that after losing Pirlo, the team's midfield did lack a player who was calm and rational enough to comb the midfield well in any situation.
Although the 24-year-old Brazilian midfielder has made a lot of progress after leaving the Eredivisie, he is still a little far from being alone and from the requirements of the coaching staff, and he has completely suppressed the midfield of Tottenham Hotspur by Liverpool in this game.
Of course, the other players are also very average, the bigger highlight is Eriksen, this player still maintains a standard of ball handling and balling, but in the case of losing momentum in the midfield, Eriksen alone can not save the team.
At home, Tottenham Hotspur was eliminated from the FA Cup and advanced to the final, Benitez was very excited, and at the post-match press conference, he called a counterattack on Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur, believing that the FA Cup defeat would be the beginning of Tottenham Hotspur's rout, and Liverpool would usher in a turnaround in the league against Tottenham Hotspur.
However, in the midweek round of 33 in the English England, Liverpool drew away to Reading, and Benitez was very unhappy with the team's table Xiàn, as it would lead to Liverpool's league points being stretched.
So, after the Liverpool and Reading game, all eyes were on Chelsea's home game against Tottenham Hotspur in the evening
Referee Michael Dean relentlessly blew the whistle for the end of the game, and Tottenham's attack seemed to be abruptly halted in an instant, leaving only the Stamford Bridge fans breathing a sigh of relief.
Yes, all Blues fans must be happy at this moment as they are happy that they were able to hold on to a draw in the final moments, as Tottenham Hotspur were so aggressive in the final fifteen minutes.
Fifteen minutes, six shots on goal, five on target, you can see from this number of Stamford Bridge final fifteen minutes, and Tottenham Hotspur five shots on target, Ramsey only took one of them to help Tottenham equalis, it was the goal born in the 82nd minute.
Chelsea started the game too smoothly, with Oscar receiving an assist from Gary Cahill in the first minute to break the Tottenham Hotspur goal, but soon Messi was on the end of Andrea Pirlo's pass to equalise and the two sides were back on the starting line.
Jose Mourinho's team still continued the defensive tactics against Tottenham Hotspur in the past, while Ye Qiu's team continued to hold high the banner of attack, and the two sides played in full swing, and in the 39th minute, Torres's assist helped Ramires break through Tottenham Hotspur's goal again and score again.
After that, the two sides never found a way to break the opponent's goal again, and although Tottenham Hotspur dominated possession, they could not threaten Chelsea's goal, and it was not until the second half, after Ye Qiu adjusted again, that Tottenham Hotspur got another chance to score and equalized.
This score is obviously uncomfortable, especially in the case of Liverpool OO drawing with the opponent, Tottenham Hotspur should have taken this opportunity to open up the gap between the two sides, but now they are forced to draw, which is indeed depressing enough.
"The past few games have once again proved the necessity of midfield reform," Ye Qiu stood in the command area of the visiting team coaches at Stamford Bridge, facing Mauro Tasotti and said with a sigh.
Two years ago, Ye Qiu overhauled Tottenham Hotspur's midfield, and Andrea Pirlo became the key to Tottenham's resurgence, and in the past two seasons, Tottenham Hotspur has played a crucial role in the Champions League.
But the problem is also obvious, Pirlo is about to be thirty-four years old, and he is currently single-handedly picking up the midfield of Italy and Tottenham Hotspur, going hand in hand on both fronts, which makes it difficult for him to deal with Tottenham Hotspur's multi-front battle, but these are not the point, the point is that Pirlo's playing rate has dropped a lot.
When you get older, your physical condition will definitely decline, and when your body declines, the rate of playing football will definitely not be the same as when you were at your peak, and even Pirlo this season has dropped a lot compared to last year.
You know, not to mention that it is paying attention to the fast-paced English, even in European football, one of the biggest characteristics of the Champions League over the years is that the pace of the game is getting faster and faster, and fast has become a consensus of all teams.
The Chinese have a saying, the world's martial arts, only fast and unbroken, is this truth.
The reason why the Italian team has been in a slump in the Champions League in recent years is because they are too slow, and Allegri is actually right and far-sighted, but he is unlucky that AC Milan cannot support him to complete this idea.
And, like Barcelona, why isn't this team as sharp as it was in earlier years?
The reason is also very simple, many of the core players in the team are older, whether it is Xavi or Puyol, they are all older, which makes them have problems in the rate of handling the ball, especially Xavi, if Barcelona continue to adhere to Xavi's core style of play, will guide their overall rhythm must be accommodating Xavi, it will only get slower and slower.
This style of play is not competitive in the Champions League
Therefore, two years ago, Pirlo was the right choice for Tottenham Hotspur, but now two years later, he has become an obstacle for Tottenham Hotspur, so next Ye Qiu will find an opportunity to have a good talk with Pirlo, and the two sides will talk openly and honestly to find a solution to the problem.
It is foreseeable that even if Pirlo stays in the team, I am afraid that he will have to get used to playing as a substitute in some games next season, but with Pirlo's always proud personality and his eagerness to participate in the World Cup in Brazil, I am afraid he may not be able to accept such an arrangement.
However, Ye Qiu also knows very well that Pirlo is a very mature and intelligent person, just as he chose to leave AC Milan to continue playing, if he leaves Tottenham Hotspur, he must not be surprised, because he left in order to continue playing and participate in the World Cup.
Such a player deserves respect
"I'll talk to him" Mauro Tasotti felt he should take on the responsibility, "if he wants to, stay until 14 years, he can go straight into the coaching staff, he has always been interested in coaching, and of course, if he refuses, we should respect it"
They are all Italians, Mauro Tasotti and Pirlo have been friends for many years, they have a very personal relationship and are easier to talk to, so Ye Qiu also agreed.
is the so-called hero twilight, beauty whitehead, years, it is really a pig-killing knife
