Chapter 803: Be Careful, Beckham is Coming!

No one expected that the first London derby of the new season would end with such an astonishing score.

Tottenham Hotspur once again defended their title of "Chieftain's Nightmare", relying on Ribery's hat-trick, Messi's brace and Lewandowski's goal, Tottenham Hotspur beat Arsenal 6-0 away!

After this game, Tottenham Hotspur's tactical style of play was surprised by countless fans and professionals, and countless people were analyzing, from the previous 433 tactics to 4231, Tottenham Hotspur seemed to have become more paced, showing a completely different tactical style from the 433 period.

As a result, many media have called for Pirlo to be taken down, Matic to continue to take this kind of devastating fast-paced attack, instead of Pirlo's slow and methodical passing penetration, and more to put the ball at the feet of the attacking players in the front court, and strive for more scoring opportunities.

Mourinho spoke to the media after the match at the Emirates Stadium and believed that Tottenham Hotspur was able to win this time mainly because Arsenal did too badly.

"Actually, I don't think there is much innovation in this adjustment of Tottenham Hotspur, in fact, they are playing football in the nineteenth century, maybe they look like offensive football, but in fact it is defensive counterattack, Ye Qiu looks like he arranged three central defenders in this game, of which the third central defender is Nemanja Matic!"

"It's a very conservative strategy, isn't it?"

In response to Mourinho's provocative remarks, many media and fans who support Tottenham Hotspur have counterattacked, believing that Tottenham Hotspur has adopted a control style of play, combining ball control and control space, on the surface, Tottenham Hotspur did not win much in possession, but how to explain that Tottenham Hotspur shot ten times more than Arsenal? How to explain that the game was played in the Arsenal half for most of the time?

Questioned by the media and fans, Mourinho said that he did not need to give an answer, but Ye Qiu, the day after the game, when he was interviewed by the media, he heard about Mourinho's remarks, and he gave a counterattack.

"You know, the biggest thing I have in common with Mourinho is that we both like to put on a show, but the difference is that he's an angry guy who always sees his opponent as useless, so he can only put a bus on the pitch, and I'm like a thinker who is used to calm analysis and has something to pursue, so I'm putting on a supercar, we're on the same starting line, and he's always chasing after me and looking at my taillights!"

In response to this sarcasm and sarcasm from Ye Qiu, Mourinho immediately counterattacked, saying that if he had Ye Qiu's huge squad, he could even play better and better football than Tottenham Hotspur.

And Ye Qiu also reacted immediately, "There is a big difference between me and Mourinho, he believes in ifs, and I don't believe in them, so he goes to play in the Europa League, and we are going to compete in the Champions League!" ”

The war of words between the two biggest names in the Premier League has caused the media to be addicted, but in fact, Tottenham Hotspur have indeed done it better, especially since Ye Qiu has rotated properly this season with an astonishing midfield thickness.

In the second round of the league, Tottenham Hotspur sat on their home ground and welcomed Swansea.

This was the first official match for Tottenham Hotspur after the opening of the new stadium, and Tottenham Hotspur also held a brief opening ceremony before this game, including a discussion on Mayor Boris? Johnson and others were on hand for the ceremony, while Tottenham Hotspur rotated again this time.

Pirlo surprised again after a week's rest, showing excellent form to help his side win 4-0 at home to Swansea, and he himself completed a 100-8 pass in this game, and the combination of Ramsey and Pogba allowed Pirlo to completely dominate the entire midfield.

Two games, two big wins, but they reflect two different tactical styles, Tottenham Hotspur's performance in the new season surprised everyone, and even Ye Qiu himself felt a little surprised.

He calculates a lot of things, but underestimates the most important human heart.

Whether it is Andrea Pirlo or Nemanja Matic, the new season is the best opportunity for them to prove their quality again, so they are doing their best in the new season, especially Pirlo, as a veteran, although he has received strong support from the team, everyone is questioning whether he can still play a big role in the new season.

But he wants to prove to everyone that he deserves a ticket to Brazil!

Not only Pirlo and Nemanja Matic, but also the two superstars of Ribery and Messi in the front court are as stable as ever, but Hazard and Neymar are showing signs of grabbing power, and the two players have shown a good competitive form since the beginning of the preseason, plus Lewandowski wants to prove his strength and establish his main position.

Therefore, the start of the new season has allowed the entire Tottenham Hotspur to show their super game control and attacking power.

On the contrary, it was a war of words with Tottenham Hotspur before the game, and Chelsea, who was going to challenge Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Super Cup, was forced to draw 0:0 by Manchester United in the third round.

After three rounds, Tottenham Hotspur is the leader of the Premier League with three consecutive wins, while Liverpool is also on a three-game winning streak, followed by Southampton, which is currently in third place in the Premier League because it has not been challenged by strong teams in the first three rounds.

After three rounds of Premier League matches, Tottenham Hotspur welcomed the Champions League group draw and award ceremony.

At the Grimaldi Convention Center in Monaco, Tottenham Hotspur's Ribery won the best player in Europe with an absolute advantage, with 36 votes, Messi got 13 votes, Cristiano? Ronaldo, on the other hand, only has three votes.

This also reflects the outside world's affirmation of Tottenham Hotspur, and the reason why Ribery was able to press Messi is very important because he has performed better in many key games.

After winning the Player of the Year award, Tottenham Hotspur had good luck in the next draw, relying on the status of seeded teams to draw Shakhtar Donetsk, Bayer Leverkusen and Real Sociedad.

In an interview with the media after the draw results were announced, Platini said with a smile that UEFA will only do its best to maintain the fairness of the UEFA Champions League platform, and if Tottenham Hotspur has enough quality to win three consecutive titles, then he also feels normal, and there is nothing to make a fuss about.

"A lot of people say that winning consecutive titles will undermine the impact of the Champions League, but what we have seen is that in the last few years, the influence of the Champions League has increased tremendously, and we have made great strides in both business and marketing, which is obviously not in line with what many people say."

However, Platini also said that he is not rooting for Tottenham Hotspur to continue to win the title.

"I'm a fan and I appreciate Tottenham's style of football, but I hope that more teams can emerge to challenge Tottenham Hotspur better, preferably so that they don't even qualify from the group!"

Regarding Platini's remarks, Ye Qiu also smiled and said that he and Platini are very good friends, and he has always hoped that a team can challenge Tottenham Hotspur.

"I've always said that for us at Tottenham, defeat is a cup of honey and victory is a slow poison, so we, like everybody, crave honey!"

Ye Qiu's statement is easy to spark controversy, some people think that he is pretending, but others believe that his statement reflects the difference between Tottenham Hotspur's style and other teams, because everyone knows that failure can help the team expose its shortcomings and provide room for improvement and improvement.

After attending the award ceremony and the draw ceremony in Monaco, Tottenham Hotspur was disbanded on the spot, and the internationals all went back to play in the national team, while those who did not have the task of playing in the national team returned to London, and Ye Qiu went to Nyon, Switzerland.

…………

…………

On the outskirts of Nyon, Switzerland, on the shores of Lake Geneva, a three-storey, modern, irregular rectangular building is fed in front of a myriad of journalists from all over the world, many of whom have moved from Monaco.

The annual European Elite Coach Summit will be held here.

This year's European Elite Club Coaching Summit can be described as a gathering of famous coaches, Ferguson, who has announced his retirement, former Bayern Munich coach Heynckes is impressively listed, and Mourinho, Guardiola, Arsene Wenger, Carlo Ancelotti, Benitez, Pellegrini, Conte, Klopp, Simeone, Trim, Lucescu and other European coaches are impressively listed.

But what really attracted was Ye Qiu, who participated in the European Elite Club Coaching Summit for the first time.

Saying that Ye Qiu is participating for the first time is actually a bit wrong, because he receives invitations every year, but he has never participated in this event for various reasons, so a few days ago, at the Champions League draw ceremony in Monaco, Platini sent an invitation to Ye Qiu in person, thinking that he was going to retire and always get a walk around the summit.

The news that Ye Qiu was going to attend the summit was spread by the media immediately after the draw ceremony, and this immediately attracted the attention of many European coaches, which can be seen from the total number of people at this year's summit, which is very neat, and most of the invited head coaches agreed to attend the summit.

The organizing committee used to arrange two vans to pick up and drop off, but this year it had to add another one on an ad hoc basis.

The reason for using a van is mainly due to the fact that the number of people who pick up and drop off will be larger, and the van is more comfortable than the bus.

Ye Qiu arrived in Nyon the night before the summit, and was sent to the hotel booked in advance by the UEFA reception staff, and breakfast was eaten in the hotel room, and at nine o'clock in the morning, he got into the van arranged by UEFA, but he was very depressed, and he was sitting opposite him with a ruthless face, Atletico Madrid's head coach Simeone.

I don't know why, every time I see Simeone, Ye Qiu will want to sue him, "Hey, man, I'm a friend of Beckham, be careful, he has also changed careers to become a head coach now, and sooner or later he will come to you for revenge!" ”

But every time he endured it, because he was worried, wondering if Simeone would give him a punch if he said so.

Maybe it was Ye Qiu's expression that he always seemed to be smiling, wanting to laugh but not smiling, which made Simone feel a little embarrassed, so the Argentine hunk grinned at Ye Qiu, "Is there any problem, Mr. Ye Qiu?" ”

Of course, Ye Qiu couldn't tell the truth, and immediately smiled in disguise, "I just want to ask, when you introduce players, do you really consider their constellations?" ”

Simeone obviously didn't expect Ye Qiu to ask such a question, even if he has a brilliant career, even if he does a pretty good job at Atletico Madrid, but compared to Ye Qiu, he is indeed much behind in terms of status and influence.

But after Ye Qiu asked this question, he immediately felt that the distance between the two was very close, and there was originally some silence, and even because many of them were former enemies and opponents, so the atmosphere was a little awkward, there was a burst of laughter because of this question, and the atmosphere was obviously lively.

"I ......," Simeone laughed and didn't know how to answer, "what do you say?" Actually, I basically choose the players first, but I found that the players I look at are basically the kind of more brave zodiac signs, so ......"

Ye Qiu was also amused after hearing this, this is what Simeone said in an interview with Marca Daily, he said that he would consider the constellation first when choosing players, because he found that many people's personalities and ways of doing things are related to the constellation, which made Ye Qiu think that this guy is not a master of divination?

"Can I ask you a question in the other way?" Simeone asked with a smile after everyone had finished laughing.

Ye Qiu nodded, "Of course!" ”

"A lot of people say that you have a very precise eye for selecting players, so what are your criteria for selecting players?"

Simeone's question immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the van, including Klopp and Conte, and even Mourinho as an opponent.

The van drove down the smooth road of Nyon as it heads out of town to UEFA's headquarters on the shores of Lake Geneva.

Ye Qiu was silent for a few seconds, and thought for a while, after all, the people present were all very professional, and they basically belonged to the more elite head coaches, and many things needed to be carefully worded, not casually fooled.

"My criteria for selecting players are more complex, first of course, the technical and tactical fit of the style, but occasionally I make some strange decisions, like Phil? Jones, but when I chose this player, I was looking at the long term, I think he's very malleable, and I really appreciate the momentum in him. ”

Simeone and many people in the carriage nodded in unison, Phil? Jones has the tenacious fighting spirit and fighting spirit of a typical English player, which is a rare quality in football these days.

"Relatively speaking, I personally tend to be younger, I choose to be around 20 years old, generally at this time the player's style is reflected, but it is not yet finalized, it is very malleable, and I will focus on evaluating the player's learning and receptivity, I ......"

Speaking of this, Ye Qiu shrugged his shoulders, "It's actually very complicated, we have a complete set of assessment plans and reports, so it's easier to make some decisions. ”

This last sentence is indeed very sincere, because having such a team to help the head coach evaluate and analyze is indeed more convenient than the head coach to find it himself, and it is more comprehensive, after all, no one can guarantee that he will not look away, even if it is Ferguson, or other famous coaches, it is inevitable that there will be times when he looks away.

But Ye Qiu's vision is obvious to all in the industry, and Tottenham Hotspur's scouting system is also unparalleled in the world.

"But aren't you worried, sometimes the list recommended by the scouting department is not to your taste?" Simeone asked again, after all, he didn't know the inner workings of Tottenham Hotspur.

Ye Qiu shook his head, "Generally speaking, it is difficult for this situation to happen within Tottenham Hotspur, of course, there are exceptions, but I think that as long as the manager clearly knows what type of player he wants and what kind of player he wants, then the scouts will basically make targeted distinctions and meet these requirements." ”

"Of course, there may be exceptions to everything, after all, there is no absolute, so our system is to maximize the quality and fit of the reinforcements."

Ye Qiu's words made many people feel admired, because Tottenham Hotspur's scouting system was brought out by Ye Qiu himself, in the past few years, Tottenham Hotspur's scouting and recruitment can be described as feathers, and it is difficult not to admire the endless supply of talents to the team.

When Ye Qiu finished speaking, three vans arrived at the UEFA headquarters building one after another, and there was an uproar at the scene, and countless reporters raised the cameras in their hands and shot at the van for a while, especially when some reporters saw their favorite famous coach get out of the car, they all exclaimed.

When Ye Qiu stepped out of the van, there was a burst of the most enthusiastic cheers from the scene, and after he raised his hand to the surrounding media reporters, he politely walked into the UEFA headquarters building with Simeone, Mourinho and others.

The summit is divided into two days, the agenda of the first day is mainly to discuss the future tactical trends of the Champions League and European football, and then there is an award ceremony, which belongs to the award ceremony at the head coach level, referring to the international players after 100 appearances for the national team, UEFA will give awards, award some souvenirs and other medals, so this time will award awards to some managers who have coached more than 100 European events, Ye Qiu is also among them, which is also one of the reasons why Ye Qiu accepted Platini's invitation.

After all, this honor will make Ye Qiu go down in UEFA history.

In addition, UEFA also plans to send an invitation to Ye Qiu, hoping that he can enter UEFA after retirement, mainly to serve as some white-collar salaries, and at the same time not have to do things, and when it comes to some important games, he can get free tickets.
