Section 372 Convincing
Soon after the opening, Tottenham scored a goal with ease, which also made Li Bin, who was standing on the edge of the pitch, stand up happily. It's a good thing that I scored so quickly in my first game.
Thiago Silva's long pass, Bale's accelerated breakthrough, Cavani's goal, everything looks so simple, and Li Bin is also very happy: although it was a friendly match, the opponent didn't play seriously enough, but he was also very satisfied with being able to get such a goal so easily.
At the same time as the goal was scored, there was an incredible pant in the box.
"Scoring so quickly...... Souness's face was a little red, he didn't expect Tottenham's goal to be so fast, he scored as soon as he finished speaking, which made him a little unpleasant, "It's too difficult to score with only two passes, right?" It's blindfolded, right? ”
"I don't know much about football, but I don't think it's like a blind one." Levy said with a smile, "The long pass of the Brazilian defender, I bet that the entire Premier League central defenders are counted, and there are no more than three of them." If you want to say that you have good skills, you have to look at the Brazilians. And how fast Bale's breakthrough is, you can also see, this speed is simply eating all opponents raw...... And, as you can see, even now, what is Cavani doing? ”
Xiao Broken Step leaned forward, ready to step forward at any time to grab a point...... Compared to him, Darren Bent kicked like a piece of wood. This bastard, can you still want to enter the national team after playing football like this? ”
Looking at the court, Souness couldn't help but curse.
The goal just now naturally seemed to be the most eye-catching of Bale's long-distance run, but everyone who watched the game understood that although his speed was unattainable, it was not a technical job, in contrast, it was the last cross that showed the skill. Compared with him, Thiago Silva's long ball and Cavani's central point grabbing are more rare things, and the way these two play is more difficult to imitate - but it is only after seeing Cavani that Souness scolds Darren Bent even louder.
No wonder Souness is swearing, now on the pitch, Cavani and Darren Bent are in completely different shapes. Cavani is running almost all the time, counter-attacking, helping to defend, responding, preparing to grab points, even if he doesn't have the ball at his feet, he also plays a big role. But Darren Bent had little intention of moving his feet, he just stood still, jogging and waiting for his teammates to pass the ball – a difference that even a blind person could see.
Even if your skills are not as good as those of South Americans, and your running is not as good as that of South Americans, are you going to lose all the face of England?
However, as a Scottish, Souness is not particularly concerned about whether the English players are disgraced or not. Therefore, after complaining twice, he stopped talking.
In contrast, there was another thing that made him even more excited.
"This guy named Bell is really fast...... He's the player we can't win as long as we play? How big of a problem is Ramos's employment of people? Souness muttered, moving on, his eyes on the game.
As he spoke, another Tottenham counter-attack had been launched. This time, it was Kolarov, who got the ball on the left side, and with a long pass, he sent the ball to the feet of Lennon on the right. Lennon stopped the ball, looked at the position in front of him, and chose to accelerate the impact. Surprisingly, though, he didn't choose to charge from the wing, but instead chose to break through from the middle!
"Crazy?"
It was the first reaction of the fans after seeing his breakthrough. However, Lennon did not stop, he broke through to the middle, and when the defender came, he shook to the right and shook the opponent away - relying on his 165cm flexible body, his breakthrough has always caught people off guard, and after shaking off the opponent, he accelerated the assault and hit the ribs of the penalty area.
For Lennon, though, that's the end of it – his passes, his shots, but there's nothing to hope for.
However, at this moment, a figure had already killed Lennon's side, "Here! ”
Lennon immediately played the ball with one kick – a style of play that they had practiced many times. Edinson Cavani received his pass less than three metres from his side and then slammed the ball into the box!
As Cavani retreated, Darren Bent had already stepped in, receiving the ball in the box and shooting with his feet right away.
However, this one catch was already offside. Tottenham's attack was blown off and the players came back a little dejected.
'This player, Edinson Cavani, is really strong – this running ability, the level of performance on the pitch, it's horrible.
A counterattack may be luck, but a continuous counterattack is admirable. Souness also saw that Li Bin's approach of opening up the width of the flanks and giving the players space to impact was really helpful to Bale and Lennon. The position of these two players has been moved back ten meters, and with ten meters of acceleration space, the role they play is simply unimaginable.
Moreover, he also found that Li Bin is indeed a good coach: the tactics he uses in the front court are definitely not limited to the strong point of the header in the bottom cross, even if it is a skill like Lennon, he can also bring the players out.
A good receiver can make the passing of an attacking player easier – and Cavani's response is a good fulfillment of that phrase. His running position is very flexible, even unimaginably flexible, which also makes Souness feel a little surprised in his heart, "Can he run like this?" ”
"Absolutely no problem." Levy smiled, "Just look at the distance he ran when he was in Parma, and you can tell that his ability to eat is the physical strength to run." ”
A South American player with such good skills, but he relies on his running ability to eat, which makes Souness like this player a little.
"Li Bin doesn't say anything else, looking at the player's vision, it's pretty good." Souness opened his mouth and said: Although his impression of Li Bin was even worse after the goal just now, he still did not hesitate to praise it.
Soon, Tottenham found another chance to attack. This time, it was still a direct counter-attack from the back: Ledley King played a long ball to Bale, who attacked, but was pulled down by his opponent.
"Tottenham's current backfield players have very good long-pass skills, so amazing, a backline, anyone can directly cross the top long pass to launch a counterattack, it's really rare." Souness looked at the game and found something, "But that's also the coach's tactical requirement, right?" It's because everybody can counter-attack that the opposition doesn't expect us to counter-attack, which is too much of a help for Tottenham to play the game – and it's hard for him to find so many defenders who can assist with long balls. ”
Souness's exclamation like finding a new continent could not surprise Levy, from the striker, to the wing, to the defender, he saw everyone shouting today. Everything Li Bin did this summer was very clear in this game, he just smiled slightly, and then put his attention back on the game.
Soon, another attack began.
Instead of making a short pass to a team-mate, Neuer got his hands on the ball once and opted for a pass – he threw it straight through midfield and into Yaya Toure. This long-distance hand-tossed ball, so that everyone is an exclamation, and the exclamation has not fallen, Yaya Toure has rushed forward with the ball, he gave the ball to Cavani who came back to answer, Cavani understood a straight ball, Yaya Toure has found a position at the front of the penalty area, after receiving the ball, it is immediately a heavy artillery bombardment!
“2-0! Pretty! It's so beautiful! How long has it been since we've seen a goalkeeper toss a half-time assist? In addition to Van der Sar, there seems to be no second person in the entire Premier League who has this hand-tossed skill, right? It's so beautiful. This shot is good, I originally said that Yaya Toure and Gustavo were able to block the opponent's pass, even if it was perfect, but I didn't expect that they could even cut forward and change tactics. ”
Souness praised again, "This team is fantastic, they can launch direct assists at the back, the midfielders can directly choke the opponent's attack, they can also shoot forward, the forwards are active and strong, the wide players are fast, they can complete the pass in an instant - it's the perfect team." Why haven't I met such a good player? If I had so many good teams, I would have won the Premier League. ”
"It's not even close." Levi spoke.
Souness turned his head a little confused, he didn't expect Levy to suddenly refute his words.
"I asked Coach Li Bin about tactics and he told me that the team is only playing a preliminary idea - the full-backs are barely providing assists, and in the midfield position, Gustavo lacks the ability to split the wings. The frontcourt players, Darren Bent, have little role to play and play rigidly and rigidly, and now the two wings are dominated by long balls, and they cannot be used as wingers for backfoot attacks - these problems are all problems in our attack. The left-back's slow turn, the lack of consistency in the coordination of the central defenders, the lack of defensive set-piece ability of the goalkeeper, and the interception in midfield can only suppress the core of the opponent, but cannot achieve the full suppression of the opponent, these are all defensive problems. Coach Li Bin said that the current Tottenham Hotspur is still far from perfect, and there is still a big gap. ”
This passage made Souness speechless for a while. He originally thought that this Tottenham team had such a sharp counterattack, such a fierce defense, and a diversified attack, which was quite perfect, but he didn't expect that in Li Bin's opinion, this team still has so many problems.
It turned out that the perfect team in his eyes was nothing more than a defective product that needed to be further reformed in the eyes of others - for a while, Souness also felt how big his gap was.
As a coach, it's natural to see other players play well and want to buy them. When I see that other coaches can use the players well, I think that I can also use them well, and it is human nature. Souness saw that Li Bin had found a group of good players, and he only felt jealous. It was only at this time that Levy told him how much room there was for the development of this team after Li Bin's plan, and he realized that Li Bin became the champion coach, and he did nothing at his age, not because of luck.
"Daniel, it seems that this man said that Tottenham would become a big team under him?" Souness asked.
"yes, what's wrong?"
"Trust him, he'll do it." Souness looked at Li Bin on the sidelines and said firmly, "I believe that he will be the best choice for Tottenham coaches!" ”
