There is a saying that the plan of the year lies in the spring, and the plan of the day lies in the morning.

But for Ye Qiu, there may not always be hope in the morning.

The morning before the Manchester United game, there was no sunshine in the cold weather, and when Ye Qiu took over the report submitted by Peter Brandt, he couldn't even see hope.

"Although, Peter, I think it's inappropriate to say a foul word to you, but I still want to say, rely on" Ye Qiu almost didn't throw away the report in his hand about all the first-team players in the team yesterday afternoon after the physical examination.

Peter Brandt was also very aggrieved, "Please, I just checked them according to your request, I really want to explode, you exploded at yourself, it was your overuse of them that caused the current situation" He sat on the opposite side of Ye Qiu's desk with a big grin, but he could understand Ye Qiu's mood at this moment

It's so depressing

Beckham, Alves, Messi, and Cesc Fabregas were found to be very tired and should not appear in the game against Manchester United, but including Ribery, Vargas and Ruud van Nistelrooy, should be used appropriately, which is tantamount to putting a tight spell on Ye Qiu in this game against the Red Devils.

This can't be used, that can't be used, Ye Qiu really thinks, do you want to lose to Ferguson at home again?

He hasn't forgotten how high-spirited this damn old guy was when he lost to him away, this damn old man also took out his treasured red wine to celebrate, I'll take it, if he loses again this time, wouldn't it be for Ye Qiu to be killed by him?

"Hey, don't look at me, really" Peter Brandt saw Ye Qiu's eyes looking at him, a little furious, "If you want to blame it, blame this damn schedule, just had a bloody fight with Everton, and Manchester United will be ushered in three days, no one can bear it"

After hearing this, Ye Qiu also sighed, he knew that Peter Brandt had no choice.

Playing Everton did play Tottenham Hotspur's morale and fighting spirit, but the problem is that Tottenham Hotspur did pay a very painful price for this game, and both sides fought almost exhausted.

Of course, the schedule is not necessarily Tottenham Hotspur's advantage, as Everton is facing a Liverpool derby in this round.

So, sometimes things in the world are so strange that it's hard to figure out what will happen next, and maybe even this moment is fine, and suddenly the next second, everything changes.

"How? Have you decided? Peter Brandt was still waiting for Ye Qiu's reply.

In all football clubs, the news about the physical condition of the players, injuries and other aspects is notified to the head coach first, and then the head coach makes a decision to see whether to notify the players, so sometimes, many players actually do not know what their injuries are and repeat the game.

Ye Qiu has always been very careful to strictly abide by a rule, that is, all players who are not eligible to participate in the game will not be arranged, on the one hand, to avoid injuries to players, and on the other hand, it is also out of the protection of the interests of players.

"I'll take care of it" Ye Qiu let out a sigh of relief, he decided to come in person.

Peter Brandt nodded in agreement, got up and left.

Of the four players who didn't meet the standard, Alves had a leg injury and even had to stop training, while the other three players were just tired, so it wasn't a big problem, and if it wasn't for the over-intensive game against Manchester United, they would have had a week off.

It's just that now that the schedule is so dense, Tottenham Hotspur can only choose to let them rest.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu scolded indignantly, "What a dead old ghost who only takes advantage and doesn't suffer losses."

As he spoke, he called Roland and asked him to wait for the players to come to the office before training, and not long after, Beckham, Alves and Fabregas all came to Ye Qiu's office.

When they learned about their physical condition from Ye Qiu's mouth, combined with their own situation, they also expressed their understanding of the decision not to play, but the players all said that they could persist after resting, after all, they also knew that this game with Manchester United was also very important for Tottenham Hotspur.

But Ye Qiu finally rejected their initiative to fight, because he had to be responsible for their bodies, so naturally after some encouragement, he told them that they still needed to maintain a healthy body in the long race ahead.

Messi came in the most late of the four, and to Ye Qiu's surprise, the Argentine teenager seemed a little strange today.

At first glance, Ye Qiu couldn't detect what Messi was weird about, and this little guy was also smiling as usual, and he couldn't see anything unusual, but after Ye Qiu stared at him for a few seconds, he finally found out what was wrong with him.

"me, Leo, did you cut your hair?" Ye Qiu looked at the Argentine player in surprise, which was ridiculed by many media as one of the symbols of Maradona II, because Messi's long hair looks very much like Maradona.

Or should it be said that all Argentine players like to have long curly hair, which is called flowing, also known as personality.

Redondo was also named Maradona II back then, and he also had his signature long hair, but later after Passarella took charge of the Argentine national team, he introduced an iron-fisted ban on keeping his hair without leaving the team and leaving the team without hair, and Redondo, who resolutely refused to cut his hair, finally missed the national team.

Of course, there are also some sources that this is because Redondo's tactical characteristics are not in line with Passarella, so that Redondo refused to recruit him into the national team after cutting his hair, but no one knows about this kind of thing

It can be seen that long flowing hair has become a symbol of Argentine players, but now Messi has cut it.

"No wonder you feel awkward when you look at it," Ye Qiu smiled and asked Messi to sit down opposite him

"They all said, with long hair like Maradona, head, you also said, I am me, not Maradona, so I thought about it, Yu Crisp cut the long hair, save trouble, and be comfortable" Messi said happily.

After Ye Qiu heard this, Ha Lu Ha Da laughed, "Then if they say another day that you are a man like Maradona, then did you cut it too?" After saying that, he didn't have the slightest hint of a manager's smiling over there.

Messi was completely stumped by Ye Qiu, because he really didn't expect the head coach to make such a joke on him, and Ye Qiu's reaction was really fast, but it was just a little funny, so Messi was also amused to laugh, but there was no way to answer.

"I'm telling you, Leo, I said that you are you, you don't need to learn from Maradona, this does not mean that you deliberately do not learn from him, on the contrary, you should learn, Maradona has a lot of things and places worth learning from you, you should learn from these, learn from the strengths of your predecessors, and strengthen your own strength, which is the ability that any top professional player should have."

Many people say how good and amazing a professional player is when he debuts, but in fact this is all nonsense, who is amazing when he debuts?

Even if it's Ronaldo, he was an alien as soon as he debuted?

Even if it's Pele and Maradona, they are the kings of the ball as soon as they debut?

To put it bluntly, the career of all professional players is a process of continuous self-learning, continuous accumulation of experience, and continuous acceptance of actual combat training, and in the whole process, learning is a very important thing, learning from the game, learning from the opponent, learning from the seniors.

Live and learn, this is true when it comes to players

Even now, Ye Qiu keeps a certain amount of time in the study room every day, watching some theories and experiences of all other head coaches, and analyzing their tactical ideas and concepts, because he is convinced that everyone has their own elements that they lack, and they should learn from them.

Any top player, his development trajectory, in fact, is his learning trajectory, and when one day, he has achieved some kind of honor, and he is no longer humble to learn and progress, then his strength will come to an end, and then he can only go downhill.

Many fans in the previous life talked about Ronaldinho, talked about McConn, and felt that many Brazilian players were not self-disciplined, in fact, these are not real problems, the real problem is that they have achieved certain results, reached a certain height, and when they are self-satisfied, their strength stagnates

And everybody knows that football is different from other things, when you are self-satisfied, you will find that you will slowly, slowly be surpassed by your competitors, because you are not improving, but he is improving.

Football is fascinating because everything it contains is relative, there are no absolutes.

The strength of the players is also relative, it is impossible to stop there without rising or falling, it can either rise or fall, you can only choose one of the two, so when Ronaldinho and other players have achieved results, they are satisfied with their own achievements, without the mentality of humble learning in the past, the training will naturally not be hard, and the strength will begin to decline.

When Messi heard this serious guidance and analysis from Ye Qiu's mouth, he realized his mistake.

Ye Qiu said that he was him, not Maradona, which meant to remind Messi that every person, every player is unique, no one can be a copy of others, and no one can completely imitate everything from another player, if he blindly wants to make himself Maradona, in the end it will only harm himself.

But he doesn't want Messi to stop learning from Maradona at all, he wants Messi to learn from Maradona's strengths, learn from the strengths of all the players, such as Davies's running and connection awareness, such as Ruud van Nistelrooy's finishing touch and calmness, such as Cesc Fabregas's big-picture vision, for example

Who said Messi couldn't learn all this? As long as you are willing to learn and practice, there is nothing in the world of football that you can't learn

Football, in the final analysis, is just two words, learn and practice

Personal talent is completely secondary in front of these two words, and without these two words, no matter how good your personal talent is, it will be in vain

After Messi listened, he immediately realized his problem, and he didn't expect that Ye Qiu understood his psychology from such an extremely subtle act of just cutting his hair, and he admired and thanked him in his heart, because he found that if it weren't for Ye Qiu's wake-up call, he might have taken a detour.

In fact, in Ye Qiu's previous life, Messi walked into the detour of Maradona II for a period of time, and it was not until he came out later that he really shined and truly found his own football path.

"If you cut your hair, you can't take it back, but you must keep in mind that this humble and humble heart can't be cut, and if you cut it, your career will come to an end, understand?" Ye Qiu reminded him very seriously

"Understood, head" Messi nodded in agreement.

Ye Qiu was very satisfied with his attitude, Messi was very confident on the field, and he was even a little arrogant when he played football, but in front of him, he was still a very humble kid, which made Ye Qiu very satisfied with him.

"Tomorrow against Manchester United, you will not be in the squad, the team doctor is not very satisfied with your physical examination report, you have to make appropriate adjustments and recovery training next, our goal for February is the League Cup" Ye Qiu looked at Messi with a confident smile, both of them hoped to prove themselves with this trophy.

Mourinho said that Ye Qiu couldn't win anything by relying on this group of children, and now Ye Qiu was going to take the league cup from his hands and prove to Mourinho that he could win everything by relying on this group of children

Due to the absence of a number of key players, including Ruud van Nistelrooy, Tottenham Hotspur finally drew at home to Manchester United, Van Persie scored for Tottenham Hotspur, but Cristiano Ronaldo equalized, and then Manchester United took the initiative of the game and launched a round of indiscriminate bombardment against Tottenham Hotspur, but in the end it was still unable to score again.

Tottenham Hotspur fans were pleased with the result of the draw at home to top-of-the-table Manchester United in the absence of a squad and were confident that they would be able to play more than one game in the Premier League once the squad was adjusted and regrouped.

It was also because Manchester United were held to a draw by Tottenham Hotspur that Chelsea immediately turned the tide and successfully reached the top

I don't know that this is the first time that Mourinho's team has reached the top this season, in short, they and Manchester United are taking turns to sit in the bank, and no one can take advantage, but this time, Mourinho put down his cruel words and did not let him go to the top of the list.

Everton also showed high morale, they also had a number of main players unable to play, but they forced a draw with Liverpool at Anfield, and Arsenal was also drawn by Middlesbrough away, so the entire Premier League standings except for the top and second place swap places, the rankings of the previous teams have not changed in the slightest.

After playing Manchester United, he finally got a week's respite, and Ye Qiu also used this week to adjust the team, especially several players in the team who ran out of energy when they played Everton, and they needed the coaching staff to guide them through training.

A week later, Tottenham Hotspur beat Sheffield United 4l away, Ruud van Nistelrooy scored twice, Tottenham Hotspur pressed Sheffield United almost the whole game, while Beckham got two assists, Cesc Fabregas made a pass and a shot, Ribery scored, Messi had an assist, and Tottenham Hotspur's entire midfield performance was very eye-catching.

In midweek, Tottenham Hotspur travelled to Belgian Cup winners Bellheim, a team that is not strong in the Belgian First Division, but won the Belgian Cup last season and played in this season's UEFA Cup, where they finished second in the group and qualified.

When Tottenham Hotspur learned that the draw was against Waarleheim at the end of the month, they focused on arranging scouts to spy on the Belgian team, and the coaching staff and analysts also closely analysed and studied the opponent.

So this time away from home, Tottenham Hotspur had a thrilling victory over Wahlerheim away with three goals from Ruud van Nistelrooy, Arshavin and Beckham, which can be regarded as stepping into the round of 16 with one foot.

After returning to the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur ushered in the FA Cup, this time against city rivals Fulham.

At the beginning of the game, Tottenham Hotspur dominated the anti-away, attacking tactics after opening the field, using the passing ability of Cesc Fabregas and Beckham, and constantly creating killing opportunities in front of Fulham, Van Persie, who started in place of Ruud van Nistelrooy, scored for Tottenham Hotspur in the sixth minute.

Immediately afterwards, Fulham strengthened the pressing, and the action was constantly increasing, the veteran Montella, Diop and other players have won cards successively, and in the 53rd minute of the second half, Montella tripped Mascherano because of a back scissor-foot tackle after a chase, and was given another yellow card by the referee, and a red card was sent off the field.

Then, Van Persie scored twice, and Carroll, who came on as a substitute for Van Persie, also relied on two headers to score a brace in less than a minute to help Tottenham Hotspur beat Fulham 40 away.

And Kompany, who qualified for the start of this game, also completed a redemption for himself, he faced Montella and did not give the veteran a good chance to score throughout the game, which also contributed to the frustration of Montella after chasing back in the second half.

After completing the FA Cup match, Tottenham Hotspur ushered in the League Cup home game against Wahlerheim, and Tottenham Hotspur at home easily sent Wahlerheim home, and Ruud van Nistelrooy scored again.

The Dutch striker's goal in Tottenham Hotspur this season can be described as a flood of goals, which has attracted the general attention of fans all over the world, and even many fans feel that Manchester United sent off Ruud van Nistelrooy and made a loss-making deal, and there are also many big teams that are paying attention to Ruud van Nistelrooy, after all, this is the king of the small penalty area.

In their parlance, a mid-table team like Tottenham Hotspur can produce such impressive goal statistics, and if they go to the big clubs, won't they be able to score more goals?

After returning to the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur hosted Bolton Wanderers, and this time Ye Qiu's team once again staged a hearty offensive football feast, beating Bolton Wanderers 40 at home and continuing to defend their fifth place in the league.

It was after this round that the League Cup final finally arrived
