"The most suitable person to replace Pirlo is Nemanja Matic!"

Ye Qiu was in the conference room of the coaching staff, and he said his judgment loudly, and he thought that no one would object to his judgment, because it was a fact.

"On Nemanja Matic, we don't care about Vidal, Ramsey, Phil? Jones or Pogba, we can partner with him, we can play three in midfield, but at the same time we can play two midfielders, and that's not a problem at all! ”

In fact, as early as when Ye Qiu persuaded Southampton to bring in Nemanja Matic, he had an idea that he wanted to see how Nemanja Matic could perform, and in fact, last season in Southampton, Nick? Powell was able to press up and attack precisely because he had Nemanja Matic behind him.

If Nemanja Matic isn't steady enough and not solid enough behind him, Nick? Powell has to drag back to help organize and defend, so how can he have the time and energy to press forward? Can you also become a second Matthew? Le Tissier?

'Nemanja Matic has some of the advantages of a modern midfielder, tall and strong, technically fine, excellent big-picture and ability to read the game, wide passing vision, fine short passes, precise mid-length passes, and especially his amazing running ability.

You know, in the Premier League last season, Nemanja Matic's running ability has always been quite good, don't look at his speed seems to be not fast, and his explosiveness is not strong enough, but he averages more than 12 kilometers per game, or even close to 13 kilometers, which is undoubtedly a very important part of his integration into Tottenham Hotspur's tactical system.

But he made Ye Qiu and Mauro the most? Tasotti is pleased with his strong sense of responsibility and tactical acumen.

If you look closely at Nemanja Matic's table on the pitch, you will see that he is observing and moving all the time, and even if your eyes are not chasing the ball, but staring at Nemanja Matic, you will find that he has only one thought in his mind, that is, how to play better, how to run and respond to his teammates when attacking, and how to seize the best position when defending.

It's a high level of responsibility and tactical literacy, and the focus and concentration of the game is very strong, so he's solid and reassuring.

"I even think that in some dominant, attack-oriented games, we could have two midfielders, an attacker up front, a 4231, Nemanja Matic on the left side of the pitch, and a player next to him, such as Vidal and Ramsey, or even Phil? Jones. ”

The 4231 mentioned by Ye Qiu is actually to arrange Messi to play the forward position in the middle, so that there can be another winger, so that an offensive phalanx of four attackers in the front field is formed, and Messi is responsible for connecting the ball in the middle and back field and the front court, Lewandowski holds the ball in the front court, and Ribery and another winger player respond on the left and right wings.

"If Messi is pulled up front, will it lead to a conflict between him and Lewandowski?" Roland is a little worried about this, because in the past, Messi played in the front of the midfield, and there was no center in front of him, and he went directly to the tactics of no striker, and in the first half of the Champions League final, when Messi played the front midfield, Cavani did not have much room to play in front.

"It's a misunderstanding!" Ye Qiu smiled at Roland's worries, in fact, he didn't mind people doubting his tactics, because he believed that such doubts could sometimes improve the team.

"I'll give you an example, Dortmund's front court is a combination of Gotze and Lewandowski, is there a problem?"

In fact, a very important consideration in arranging the duties and tasks of players on the football field is interaction.

Just like Messi and Lewandowski, many people think that once Messi moves to the middle, there will be a conflict with Lewandowski, Ye Qiu has always felt that this idea is very strange, because Messi's most threatening area is to get the ball in the middle of the front field, and the most threatening is the front of the big penalty area, but you can also retreat to get the ball, Lewandowski should appear more in the big penalty area at this time, and these two players should not have zài conflicts.

In the past, when there was a traditional number 10 midfielder, there were often two centre-forwards in front of the midfield, would they clash?

One of the reasons why positional clashes happen on the pitch is actually a very important reason is the lack of interaction, you can't interact according to the actions of your teammates, and there will definitely be conflicts.

It's as if you've seen Messi get the ball and want to break through, and you're still rushing into the penalty area, even the wingers will clash with Messi.

Messi plays in the middle and is more of a playmaker, with his guò drop-back tandems, pull-up to the wings, as well as individual dribbling and break-throughs, ensuring that Tottenham Hotspur can play a dangerous attack up front, and provide the team with a steady exit point to ensure a more quick and dangerous pass up front.

It's an absolute nightmare for defenders!

Just like in the first half of the Champions League final, the ball is on the left side, Messi goes to the left side, in a short period of time to form a numerical advantage on the left side, play a threat, the ball to the right side, Messi goes to the right side, the ball is pressed in the backfield and can't get out, Messi retreats, once the ball is at the feet of Lewandowski, Messi will go forward.

If Lewandowski is the arrow, and the two wingers are the wings, forming three routes to attack the opponent's goal, then Messi is the booster behind this rocket.

In Ye Qiu's previous life, the reason why Barcelona introduced Ibrahimovic and the Swedish center forward was not compatible with Messi, in fact, because the two players had problems in frequency and interaction, one fast and one slow, plus both of them needed to take the ball to play a tactical role, and in the case of insufficient interaction, the effect was greatly reduced.

Fans who really know Barcelona during that period will feel that Ibrahimovic actually didn't play badly, but it was just incompatible, and it was a lot better in the later stage, but Barcelona didn't give him more time to run in and adjust for various reasons.

But many people think that Messi clashes with the center, which is unrealistic!

Lewandowski is like a very complete piece of the puzzle of the forward arrow center, he is different from Ibrahimovic, he can play a tactical value without too much ball, and he is not good at taking the ball too much, handling the ball cleanly and very calmly.

There is also a very favorable factor, Lewandowski is in the front, Messi is in the middle, Matic is behind, and all three players can hold the ball, especially Matic, the reasonable and stable ball at the moment of offensive and defensive conversion is his greatest tactical value.

Plus Thiago in the back? Silva and Kompany, as well as goalkeeper Petr Cech, at first glance, Tottenham Hotspur do not have a playmaker like Andrea Pirlo, but in reality, as long as they are well distributed, it is equivalent to splitting the organization and the ball, because each of them can hold the ball and play the ball well.

It would be a nightmare for teams that want to compress Tottenham's possession and possession and disrupt Tottenham's organization.

As for controlling the rhythm, this is a matter for the whole team, and Nemanja Matic is in the midfield position, which is more of a calm and rational midfield barrier for the team.

Tottenham Hotspur currently has a very important advantage over other teams, that is, the ability to run without the ball and the steady passing and receiving system, that is, Tottenham Hotspur can maintain the effective distance of the three lines and provide enough points for the ball carrier, which are all advantages of Tottenham Hotspur.

Jose Mourinho's Chelsea had a problem last season, and that was that they wanted to play with a pressing style up front, which was not a problem in itself, the problem was that when the front was pressed, the back line could not press.

Terry and Gary? Gary Cahill isn't the kind of player who can press up, and once they do, their turnaround and backtracking will be a big problem, David? Luiz also has a problem with the change to the back midfield, and the biggest problem for this player is that the timing of the grab is not ideal, and once the grab does not achieve the minimum delay effect, the result is to lose position.

Therefore, Mourinho wants Matic, because he can fill the huge vacuum in the midfield caused by pressing up front and falling in the back to the maximum, and at the same time, he can still hold the ball, stand in position, and provide stable balls, so Matic is undoubtedly a very suitable candidate for Chelsea.

Theoretically, Mourinho wants to use Nemanja Matic and David? Luiz formed a double midfielder, the former in position, the latter providing coverage and tackling, using these two midfielders to fill the midfield vacuum created by pressing the back line in the front.

Unfortunately, the player was taken down by Tottenham Hotspur, which was bound to cause further turmoil in Chelsea's midfield.

The situation of Tottenham Hotspur is different from that of Chelsea, the strategy adopted by Tottenham Hotspur is that after the midfield is pressed, the back line can also be pressed, and the central defenders of Tottenham Hotspur are not lacking in the ability to grab, so after the midfield is pressed, the distance between the midfield and the back line is actually not large.

This ensures that as long as Nemanja Matic is steady in front of the team's defence, another player can continue to provide support up front and back in attack, provided that this player has a high offensive and defensive completion rate.

For the other players, Stroman, Ye Qiu and Mauro? Tasotti's expectations for him are the future.

If you look at his play at PSV Eindhoven, you will think that he is very similar to Scholes, with a good rhythm, precise long passing, distribution and scheduling, one-foot shot, wide vision and shooting ability on the back of the ball are quite good, and in this period of Eindhoven, with the veteran Van Bommel partner, Stroman's defensive improvement is also quite obvious, but not enough.

His main problem now is actually a problem that many Dutch control midfielders have, that is, he lacks the ability to get rid of the ball, as a drag midfielder, once he is continuously pressed by the opponent and loses a suitable point of play, then his appearance will be greatly reduced.

At the end of the day, this is also a weakness that has always been a weakness in the Dutch all-round midfield, such as Van Bommel, who lacks the ability to get rid of it.

Nemanja Matic also lacks the ability to get rid of it, but he protects the ball well, plays the ball quickly and steadily, and more importantly, defends well, is physically tough enough, and has a strong ability to fight against power, even in the face of pressing from the opposition, he can pass the ball out.

Stroman's rhythm and ability to pass long and short is quite good, a bit like Carrick, but the physical confrontation and defense are the soft underbelly.

But Ye Qiu has always believed that this player is very malleable, if he is allowed to play as an attacking midfielder, after a few years of development, he is likely to become a more defensive ability and a stronger impact Sneijder, but the midfield's organizational ability will gradually deteriorate, because no one will put the organization in the midfield anymore.

If he is allowed to drag it out and further improve his strength confrontation and defensive awareness, with his physical qualities, it is not difficult, and as long as he is well carved, plus Tottenham Hotspur has Pirlo in the team, and Yaya has also been trained before? With a midfielder like Toure, Stroman has a good chance of becoming a more versatile midfielder than Van Bommel, but at the same time a better controlling midfielder.

But this is certainly not something that can be achieved now, especially defensively, which takes a period of accumulation and improvement, so from the current point of view, Stroman is not suitable to play in a central midfield position, if he is to play, at best a central midfielder, especially a central midfielder on the left, similar to Ramsey's position last season.

Of course, if you want to play Stroman at the back, you have to equip him with a line-up in midfield, such as providing him with the right exit points around him, so that he can find a steady way to play the ball anytime and anywhere, plus a midfielder with excellent defensive ability.

Originally, Ye Qiu was not in a hurry to bring in Stroman, but considering that Manchester United and Chelsea were also paying attention to him, Ye Qiu decided to bring in the Dutch midfielder when Matic basically couldn't escape Tottenham Hotspur's five fingers, which could further hit Manchester United and Chelsea's midfield adjustment plans.

This is also a kind of arms race between league rivals!

In fact, the day before the Tottenham Hotspur training camp, Alex Ferguson, who represented Manchester United, really came to the door.

…………

…………

"I thought you were holding the baby at home!"

Ye Qiu spent two or three days discussing with the coaching staff the team's tactics in the new season, especially the use of new signings, such as how to play 4231 with Matic, how to do it when playing 433, or how to play when using Stroman, and how to play if Lewandowski or Messi is absent.

These are very complex and cumbersome things, which need to be slowly studied and analyzed by the coaching staff, weighing the pros and cons, and then practicing and summarizing them on the training ground, and finally presenting them on the field.

"If you think I still can't put it down......" Ferguson pouted, a "sorry to disappoint you" expression, "...... In fact, it is mainly because they all feel that Moyes should be given a transition period. ”

Without this reason, it is estimated that he will let it all go.

"Oh, hapless Moyes!" Ye Qiu shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he quickly put on a smiling face and beckoned Ferguson to sit down.

"Sir, why do you have time to come to me today?"

Ferguson smiled, "I'm going to the FA for a meeting, and by the way, I'll talk to you about two things, one for business and one for private." ”

Ye Qiu didn't say anything, because he knew that Ferguson was a talker, and he would say it himself.

Sure enough, soon, seeing that Ye Qiu was silent, and Ferguson didn't have a problem, who let him take the initiative to send it to the door?

"The main thing is to ask, Phil? Jones and Pogba for sale? ”

After hearing this, Ye Qiu laughed, "This kind of thing is your old man, do you think it is sold?" ”

Ferguson was speechless, in fact, he also knew, almost unlikely.

Phil? Although Jones and Pogba are good, they are still very young and relatively immature, and the progress in the past two years is very obvious, but the problem is that Tottenham Hotspur is basically impossible to sell them lightly, only in their early twenties, and the plasticity is too strong, as long as they are sculpted a little, they are the hope of the future, who wants to sell?

From the player's point of view, although Matic and Stroman have come this season, Pirlo is old, Sandro is gone, relatively speaking, although the competitive pressure of the team is very great, but in fact, their current progress momentum is so obvious, and it is Tottenham Hotspur's own people, who have been here for so many years, it is their own academy, how can they be willing to leave?

Of course, there is hope if United are willing to offer the lure of a high salary and a key squad, but it is not possible.

From the point of view of technical and tactical style, Pogba is not very suitable for Manchester United, but Phil? Jones is more suitable for Manchester United, but even if Tottenham Hotspur is willing to sell this homegrown player, it is estimated that he will be ruthless in dominating Manchester United.

Thinking of this, Ferguson sighed, Tottenham Hotspur is indeed doing well in terms of future reserves.

To say that Ye Qiu's business experience is really shrewd, he invested in Southampton at a low price back then, although people outside don't know, but as an insider, Ferguson knows very well, Southampton is basically Ye Qiu's final say now, and the market value of this team is now more than ten times that of that year, and he is Tottenham Hotspur's youth base.

Let's just talk about a Nemanja Matic, envy the guy who killed Mourinho!

"Haven't you guys been taking a fancy to Fellaini lately?" Ye Qiu asked Ferguson with a smile.

Fellaini was Moyes's favorite player at Everton, and after Moyes took over Manchester United, he wanted to take away one of the two players was Fellaini and the other was Leyton? Barnes, who was able to pick up Evra's class.

Left-back and midfielder, this is the weakness of several Premier League teams today, Manchester United and Chelsea are having a headache, and Liverpool have won Ali? Sissoko, a left-back who spent 15 million euros on Lyon at the age of 22, will certainly not be much worse.

What do Chelsea want for Luke? Shaw, but Tottenham Hotspur is unlikely to let go of their own left-back, or even send Marcelo to Real Madrid, not Luke? Shaw, the players themselves are unlikely to ask to leave.

At least, Tottenham Hotspur are more attractive than Chelsea by any measure.

Ferguson smiled wryly when he heard Fellaini, he was not optimistic about the player's prospects at Manchester United, because what he could get at Everton, he couldn't get at Manchester United, because Manchester United is Manchester United and Everton is just Everton.

"There's nothing to talk about business, so let's talk about private matters!" Ferguson sighed, Ye Qiu is just not easy to talk about, especially if he wants to take advantage of him, it is almost impossible.

"Sue me, how much did you miser sell Cavani?" To say that Ye Qiu's business experience is really shrewd, he invested in Southampton at a low price back then, although people outside don't know, but as an insider, Ferguson knows very well, Southampton is basically Ye Qiu's final say now, and the market value of this team is now more than ten times that of that year, and he is Tottenham Hotspur's youth base.
