'Obviously, the FA doesn't believe we can beat the top teams in the Champions League. Esposito echoed the same sentiment on the fixtures: "The fifth and sixth rounds are linked to Manchester United and Chelsea, and this is the first leg that will force us to abandon the Champions League. And the 11th round away to Arsenal is forcing us to give up the fourth round of European competition - that is, in the two games against the strong European teams, we are in a very passive and tired situation. Maybe that's what the FA meant, hoping that we would give up rationally ourselves. Liverpool, on the other hand, are in the first round, and the hype continues to follow from last season's aftermath. Besides, Manchester City is in the 18th round, and when it comes to the Christmas schedule, we will face Manchester City, Blackburn Rovers and Liverpool in a week – which is not a difficult task at all. ”

"The schedule is not very good, and our Champions League draw is not good, so this season's task is quite heavy." Li Bin nodded, "Fortunately, our lineup is relatively thick, otherwise, we would have to die if we tossed it like this." ”

Tottenham's European points are not very high, although they also played in the Europa League in the previous two years, but they have not been to the bottom of the bottom, so there are not many points. However, according to the calculation method, in addition to the team's own points, the points of the leagues in which the team is located are added. The Premier League has been at its peak in the past two years, which has also made Tottenham a little higher in points and entered the third tier of teams. Since Li Bin led the team to play in the Champions League, he has not encountered the situation of leading a third-tier team. It is very likely that he will face the situation that he has to deal with two strong teams in the first and second grades - if according to the current division standards, Tottenham is likely to meet Barcelona in the first gear, and Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Juventus and other teams in the second gear, the situation is not optimistic - if Manchester United, Barcelona, and Chelsea play in a row, Li Bin will not hesitate to consider giving up the European competition.

In a match against a strong team, the consumption will definitely be great. And if you face a strong team in a row, it is even more likely to make a team tired to the point of home. Three games in a row against strong teams, this style of play is simply deadly. And once tired, all kinds of injuries and mistakes will come to the door, such a dense against strong teams, Li Bin not only does not dare to say that every battle will be won, but even must say that when the time comes, he will adjust rationally: use the main force of a team to death, that method is to joke with the player's sports career.

The schedule arranged by the FA can only be described as bad. Not to mention, two games against Liverpool, one at the start of the season, on 16 August – and on 9 August, Tottenham have a Community Shield against Manchester United. The second time he played Liverpool, it was next to the game with Manchester City, and such a schedule was purely life-threatening.

"Do we have a grudge against the FA? It's a shame to arrange the game like this......" Esposito muttered with some dissatisfaction, "It can't be Ferguson's arrangement, right?" ”

"No, if he had arranged, he would have made us give up playing Manchester United sensibly, instead of making us give up European competition and come back and fight him." Li Bin shook his head and said, "I guess the FA can't trust our strength." ”

Li Bin didn't suspect that Ferguson was bad, but it's unlikely to think about it: if Ferguson really exerts influence, it is definitely not in this direction, others don't know, Ferguson must know that Manchester United is a lot weaker without Ronaldo, and at this time he still forces Tottenham and Manchester United to stumble, so that Tottenham can play a single line with all his might? Ferguson is not a second-year teenager, so it is impossible for him to do such a thing.

Then, the only one who does this kind of thing may be the FA. This gang of goods is a typical example of not being able to enjoy without watching exciting games, and they can't wait for a strong team to pinch every day to be interesting. Tottenham's games are very distinctively arranged, and you can see at a glance that they are convenient for hype and broadcast.

These guys are only useful when they're looking for trouble.

Esposito didn't say anything, just frowned and looked at the schedule.

"We'll talk about the new season. Maybe we were lucky enough to draw Sevilla or Lyon in Pot 1. Li Bin patted Esposito, "There's no need to be too anxious, this season we said that the focus is not on the Champions League, even if it is the second place in the group, we can deal with it." ”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of the line."

"That's not going to happen." Li Bin said with a smile, "It's true that our strength is weak, but it is also for those strong teams on the front line." Compared with those strong teams, there is still a certain gap in our strength, but compared with those weak teams, we are now a real strong team. The FA can give us a boost, but that doesn't mean we're scared of them. Don't worry, I will definitely achieve the goal I said, no matter whether the enemy is a strong team or the FA, it will not be able to hinder me in the slightest! ”——

After returning to England, Tottenham played a good game against the visiting Udinese. It was the first time they have won in a friendly this season. Tottenham, who are playing at home, this time adjusted back to 442, and their players are basically the main players from last season. Li Bin, who played at home, still gave the home fans a good half-time, and soon after the game began, they began to press the opponent to kick, and the huge physical advantage gave Tottenham the upper hand, and in less than 20 minutes, Yaya Toure's long-range shot successfully contributed to the door of Udinese.

And immediately afterwards, Bale also played more of a role in the game. Tottenham's tactical changes are reflected at this time, their two wings are constantly interspersed forward, and they are all moving near the middle and long lines, and Gustavo in their back position is withdrawn by himself when the two wings are on top - the insertion of the two wings can greatly liberate the role of the wings, which everyone knows, and the two wings are inserted together, and even make up for the middle position as a back, which is also a tactic used by many teams. It's just that when you play like this, you have to make sure that it is a double back, and one person can retreat to the back to fill the gap of the defender, otherwise, it will be the result of the back line being blown up.

Last season, Tottenham's attacking power could only be regarded as average, which had a lot to do with the lack of delicacy in their two wings and the inability of full-backs to plug in, and this season, Li Bin has begun to try to make a change, he wants to make his team play a better attack.

Soon, after a big cut in by Coentrão, he played a pass to Bale, who was cutting in the middle, and after Bale made a collision with the retreating Cavani in the middle, he rushed towards the penalty area, and in the box, a cross ball to Suarez gave the ball to Tottenham for the second goal.

Tottenham, who had two goals in hand, also made changes in the second half, replacing Cavani, Suarez and Bale, and replacing Reus, Ramsey and Raul.

After this adjustment, Li Bin also sat back in his seat and discussed the staffing with Esposito beside him.

"When Ramsey, Yaya Toure and Gustavo were sweeping in midfield, Coentrão could have been more resolute in his intervention. Raul has a good experience of pulling the side to activate the wide attack, he has worked with Carlos Figo, he can guide the left side to play better, this formation will try later, with both of them on the field at the same time, you can activate the left side attack......"

"But you can't let Ramsey and Reus play at the same time, it's a disaster for both of them to play at the same time, and Raul in the front court is a disaster." Esposito nodded, "Ramsey's defensive skills are also insufficient, and he can be further trained to make him stronger." ”

Li Bin nodded, in the three games, he kept trying to adjust the front court, just to try to figure out how to play the best game, and now he is very satisfied with this kind of play.

On the field, Tottenham's attack in front is even more fluid than before, and Raul's experience in leading the wing attack is even better than Suarez, where he can form an organizational node to help the team better play the attacking power. However, Reus and Ramsey's bodies are a little thin, and they play together, but their defensive ability is not very good.

Then, when Ramsey played up front, he brought on Raul and played mainly on the left wing. If Reuss is on the pitch, using Cavani or Huskey up front gives him plenty of room to move around – and after a few games of adjustment, Li Bin has also gotten some ideas on how the players should use it.

With this information, he can better adjust the players' appearances when using them in the new season. He doesn't have any versatile players at his disposal, so he's going to have to try to put them together as a good team. Fortunately, he did it, the lineup was adjusted step by step, and the purpose of the friendly match has been achieved. This is more important than victory.

Although they conceded a goal at the end of the game, Tottenham still managed to win 2-1. This is their third friendlie, and after this one, their last friendly is against Newcastle.

This friendly match was arranged at the back of the day, facing Newcastle, who had just changed their boss and were relegated to the Championship, and Tottenham came here to find confidence. Newcastle need money, Tottenham need a game to give the players confidence, and this game is a game to get what they need. Tottenham directly chose to press heavily in the game, turning the game into a slaughter, Suarez scored twice, Cavani scored successfully, coupled with Yaya Toure assisted Thiago Silva to score a free kick, and substitute Raul's goal, Tottenham played a 5-1 game, with a big win that was not last season, and laid the team's confidence.

"We've played four friendlies this summer. And now, we have to face the fifth game – although this friendly is a little different because it is not only a friendly match, but also a cup game. Community Shield, we're going to play Manchester United. Guys, our goal this season is to win the Premier League and the biggest obstacle in front of us is Manchester United. Now, guys, I'm going to prove to you, and at the same time, I want you to prove to me: we have enough quality to beat Manchester United, let's beat them, let them know that this league is not theirs now! ”
