In the 37th round of the Premier League, the eyes of all fans in the world are aimed at the Premier League and London.

It was clear that all the fans and media were more interested in the three matches in southern London than the derby in Manchester, Charlton Athletic at home to Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal at Chelsea and at this moment, Benitez's Craven Farm stadium with Liverpool away to Fulham.

Because of the midweek stumble with Chelsea and played in the semi-finals of the Champions League, Liverpool simply had no way to play at full strength in this game, and Benitez had to re-present his rotation brand, hoping to adjust some fighting power for the team.

And from this game, Liverpool's starting lineup, in fact, it is not difficult to see some of Benitez's views on the current Liverpool lineup, for example, whether he is at the beginning of the season or now, no matter how the team rotates, there are two people who are the main force that cannot be beaten, one is goalkeeper Reina, and the other is the team's main defender Xavi Alonso.

In this game, the two big players are still the team's starters, not only that, Hyypia, Pennant, Sissoko and other players have also started in a row, and Benitez sent a combination of Robbie Fowler and Bellamy in the attack.

If Robbie Fowler is played as a lone striker, the effect will definitely not be ideal, so Benitez arranged for Bellamy to partner him.

Although many people say that Liverpool is now Gerrard's one-man team, only Benitez himself understands in his heart that the most important and indispensable player for Liverpool today is not Gerrard, but Xavi Alonso.

The Spaniard is the team's playmaker and the core of the team's midfield, and it can almost be said that Liverpool's entire attacking and defensive system revolves around him, and once he doesn't work, Liverpool's attack and defense will also have problems, but fortunately, Xavi Alonso's performance is really good.

Even if this game is an away game, even if Fulham obviously strengthens the care of him, Xavi Alonso still shows enough strength, and Liverpool has planned a lot of attacking and scoring opportunities, but Liverpool's forward line has missed too many opportunities.

In the first half, in the fifth minute, Pennant had a very good through ball, Bellamy's powerful shot was saved by the goalkeeper, then Fowler's through pass, Bellamy's shot was too right, and then Xavi Alonso passed, Fowler got a good chance, but it was missed.

One of the best scoring chances of the game came near the end of the first half, when Xavi Alonso's long pass found Pennant, who hoisted into the box and Robbie Fowler grabbed the spot around five metres in front of goal, but unbelievably missed such a shot that was more difficult to score than it was to score.

Missed such a great opportunity to find a game, even Benitez, who has always been known for his robotic expression, was so angry that he stomped his feet on the sidelines, how bad does this have to be?

After the rematch in the second half, Liverpool still launched round after round of attacks against Fulham, but the team seemed to be a little discouraged and did not perform as well as in the first half, while Fulham began to improve, after all, they were playing at home.

Fulham were the first to make a change, with American midfielder Dempsey, who joined during the winter break this season, replacing veteran Montella, intending to make the most of the American's versatility and his ability to hold the ball up front to attack Liverpool's attack, especially from Argentina's left-back youngster Insua.

Benitez also immediately realized that Insua was a weakness, and immediately asked Reese to warm up, wanting to replace Insua with him, but there is a good saying, many times when you realize the danger, the danger is only one step away from you.

When Reeser had just come out to warm up, perhaps not even his body had warmed up, there was a surprising scene on the court.

Fulham's newly introduced striker Dempsey cut into the middle of the box on the right flank after linking up with full-back Rosenho, who broke through Insua and crossed low to the front of the goal, Dempsey stepped in in front of goal, grabbed Hyypia and scrambled through Reina's goal.

It was the American midfielder's first Premier League goal since joining Liverpool, and it could well be the most crucial one

"Liverpool are paying the price for their reckless squandering of opportunities," the on-site commentator said, and the remark was immediately echoed by all the Fulham fans in the stadium.

That's how a weak team fights a strong team, no matter how you attack, I'll defend it, I don't want the process, I don't want the quality, I don't even want to attack, but I only need one thing, that's the result, the result of disgusting you

Now Fulham has put on such a posture up and down, aren't you very powerful? Aren't you guys at the top of the rankings? It's okay, let's attack, you can't score anyway

Benitez shook his head angrily on the sidelines, he really had the kind of two strikers who rushed onto the pitch and tapped the two strikers he entrusted with the important task one by one, because he didn't understand, why did he have so many scoring opportunities, but in the end, he couldn't even score a goal?

He has to admit that the on-site commentator's words are not unreasonable, Liverpool is bearing the price, because you have wasted too many opportunities before, and you have wasted so much that even your own morale has been hit hard, so the players are a little deflated, plus it was originally a substitute lineup, and the cooperation and attack must not be compared with the main force, and now the goal is a price.

But Benitez is an unbeliever, Colwill and Kuyt were sent to the field by him successively, but Fulham is now a typical little rich and safe, after having a ball, he began to shrink the defense in an orderly manner, and the result was that Liverpool's offensive was futile again and again.

Benitez looked at Robbie Fowler, the former Liverpool star who no longer had the killer aura of the past, and now he looked like a dying veteran, long without the aura of the high-spirited back then.

It was also a reminder to Benitez that the team's forward line had to be restructured.

Compared with Benitez's depression, just across the Thames River, Ye Qiu on the South Bank Valley Course seemed a little relaxed.

Sitting in the coach's seat, crossing Erlang's legs, holding his chin, watching the game, his expression was leisurely, people who didn't know the way thought he was a fan, so he didn't hold a bag of melon seeds and peanuts in his hand, and he didn't put a bottle of beer next to him.

Tottenham Hotspur's home and away results are generally satisfactory, Charlton Athletic has been relegated early, the team's morale is full of hope, and it is difficult to form a favorable threat to Tottenham Hotspur now, so at the beginning of the game, the Valley Stadium was attacked by Tottenham Hotspur in less than ten minutes, and Ruud van Nistelrooy scored the third goal of the Premier League this season.

This not only allowed the Dutch striker to break Thierry Henry's single-season scoring record, but also allowed him to catch up with the likes of Alan Shearer, and made Ruud van Nistelrooy almost certain that he would win the European Golden Boot this season.

However, Tottenham Hotspur did not play well in this game, after Vanney's goal, Tottenham Hotspur was unable to organize an effective offensive for a long time, which is also related to Tottenham Hotspur's insistence on two-line combat in the past period.

But Tottenham Hotspur has an advantage, that is, even when the team is not performing well, the initiative and possession are in hand, plus Charlton's strength is indeed not strong, and the team is relegated early, the team is disheartened, and it is difficult to form an effective threat to Tottenham Hotspur.

In the second half, Ye Qiu Yubrian made adjustments and replaced Van Nistelrooy with Dutch striker Van Persie, and the team's tactical style changed, especially the offensive trident in the frontcourt, which brought different changes.

Van Persie's presence has made Tottenham's attack more freewheeling, because Van Persie is not like Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has to be close to the box and the goal to be able to threaten, Van Persie can play in the middle and on the wing, and can play on both the left and right, which is the same as Ribery and Messi.

Therefore, after Van Persie came on the field, Tottenham Hotspur's frontcourt attack changed a lot, and it was more common to frequently cross and change positions with each other, which made Charlton Athletic, who was fighting at home, a little overwhelmed, and at the same time dazzled the fans in the stands and the fans in front of the TV.

The on-site commentator even ridiculed, "After Tottenham Hotspur got Van Persie, the attack in the front court was completely chaotic, the play was out of order, and there was no routine at all, which made people not understand what they wanted to do."

"The most important thing Charlton should do now is to seize an opportunity to play a threatening counterattack, Tottenham Hotspur has a lot of passing and receiving errors in the front field, as long as you seize a chance, you can equalize, Tottenham Hotspur will definitely go crazy by then"

But for this kind of scene, Ye Qiu took a completely different view, he felt that after Van Persie came on the field, the team's rules were indeed a bit chaotic, but it was in a process of adaptation, and many passes and catches were actually intended and purposed to be good, that is, either the pass was not good enough, or the teammates did not catch up.

Just like this time, Ribery received a pass from Vargas from the left side, cut inside with the ball, shook off a defender, and then plugged straight into the left post, Van Persie was in the middle of the penalty area, and suddenly slanted diagonally to the left post, and the Dutch striker suddenly stopped after receiving the ball, and pulled the ball with his left foot, and his right foot went directly to the middle.

If Ribery can take advantage of the situation after passing the ball out just now, he does not need to change direction and continues to rush forward, at this time Van Persie's kick stops the ball just to Ribery's feet, and his sudden insertion just opened the defender for Ribery, so that Ribery will not be disturbed at all after stopping the ball, and he can hit the goal directly, and it is almost a must-score.

But what's worse is that after Ribery passed the ball, he habitually waited for Vanney's kick, because once Vanney got such an opportunity in the penalty area, although it was a little reluctant, he would still kick directly, and everyone called this a scorer's selfishness.

It can even be said that an unselfish scorer is not a good scorer.

Van Persie had his back to the direction of the pass, he looked at the goal and waited for the goal, but after waiting for a full second or two, he found that the ball had not arrived, and when he looked back, he saw Ribery's stunned expression and the remorse on his face

Van Persie spread his hands helplessly, and pointed at Ribery with a wry smile, as if to say, you can find a wall and hit it yourself, and you don't want to score for nothing

Ribery shook his head and walked back, he was a little confused in his heart, why didn't he play this ball by himself?

"So, this guy can't get on the stage" Ye Qiu laughed and scolded his favorite general on the sidelines, "I always make balls for people on weekdays, but now people make balls for you, you are good, you are addicted to making balls, and you can't even take two steps to get up."

Mauro Tasotti also looked at it and smiled, Van Persie's pass was indeed beautiful enough, stopping the ball, stopping the ball, stopping urgently, in one go, facing the goal, but the work under his feet did not fall at all, just like the back of his head with eyes, directly to Ribery, the goal did not score, the responsibility is really on Ribery, just two or three steps forward.

"You're right, this kid is born to give people a hand" Roland is also familiar with Ribery, and scolded directly.

"Van Persie's foot work is really fine enough, I really don't have to say anything about stopping the ball, and the ability to move, the ability to move on the wing, and the speed are quite good, plus Ribery and Messi are players who can go left and right, can go up and down, really want to live, our attack will be even more terrifying than now"

"The only suspense" Mauro Tasotti looked at Beckham on the pitch, "how long do you think David will be in shape?" ”

Ye Qiu is not without worries in this regard, frankly speaking, Van Nistelrooy's performance in the second half of the season has declined, although the number of goals is a lot and the maintenance is very balanced, but in the case of more and more opportunities created by the team, his scoring has not improved, which means that his form is going downhill.

He's 3l years old, while Beckham is already old.

If Ruud van Nistelrooy is a striker at the front and his running range is not very large, then Beckham is undoubtedly known for his large-scale active running, and if he loses his large-scale positive running, his long passing and passing ability will inevitably be greatly reduced, because the opponent will definitely defend you, and if you don't run out of the opponent's defensive zone, it will definitely be affected, and the pass success rate will definitely decline.

A lot of times, some managers tend to focus on the immediate situation, because they have performance pressure, they will worry that if they can't beat the opponent in the next game, if they don't do well this season, they will be fired, they will be sacked, they will be sacked, so for them, the long-term plan is a big pie, draw it for you, in fact, there is nothing in it.

This kind of result can easily cause a problem, that is, the forward line is adjusted, there is a problem in the midfield, the midfield is adjusted, there is a problem in the backline, and when you toss the midfield and the back line, sorry, your striker is old, the form has slipped, and he starts tossing again.

Ye Qiu naturally knows that with Beckham's current state and strength, coupled with his age, it shouldn't be a big problem to maintain it for about two years, but if there are any injuries in the process, it's really hard to say.

Ye Qiu has passed a season of groping, Brazilian midfielder Lucas is quite optimistic about Ye Qiu, this player is a bit like Mascherano, and another midfielder Huddlestone, who was left by Tottenham Hotspur, was completely sentenced to death by Ye Qiu and is ready to shoot in the summer.

So now, among the players left by Tottenham Hotspur in the past, there will only be one central defender substitute Mike Dawson, and this player cannot be regarded as a Tottenham Hotspur academy player, but from Nottingham Forest.

Ye Qiu himself also felt very helpless, because with the group of players before Tottenham Hotspur, with the current youth training situation in England, there is really too much gap between the football he wants to play, at least you have to stop the ball, right? A casual stop can stop three or four meters away, how can the ball be kicked?

Therefore, Ye Qiu's plan is also very clear, that is, like Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, to fill the gap in the team's strength in the shortest possible time in an international column, first play his own football style and system, and then supplement the team's youth training system.

Because at the end of the day, the purpose of youth training is to strengthen the first team, not to use it.

However, Ye Qiu also has a hunch, because the current registration criteria for the Champions League are that there must be six players who are self-trained or locally trained, that is, between 15 and l years old, who have played for England for three years or are registered in the FA, and the Premier League is bound to further encourage youth training! regulations, and even the registration rules for the Champions League will further strengthen youth training

Therefore, when selling Huddlestone, Tottenham Hotspur must also keep pace with the times and introduce young players to fill this weakness and loophole, so as not to be a bit temporary when the regulations are introduced, Tottenham Hotspur will compete with other clubs for some local or academy players.

Of course, such a rule is not completely unavoidable, but in Ye Qiu's opinion, we should minimize the trouble in this area and get less entangled in this aspect, so that everyone in the team can ⊥ concentrate more on the game.

When Ye Qiu was thinking, Tottenham Hotspur finally got another chance, Van Persie and Ribery cooperated, after Ribery slanted into the penalty area from the left side, taking advantage of the gap when the defenders were pulled away by Van Persie, the ball was divided to the right side, Messi plugged in, easily faced the almost empty goal, and pushed the shot, 0

In this way, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Charlton Athletic at home at the Valley Stadium 0, but the current Charlton has nothing to lose, because they have been relegated from the Premier League in advance, so the fans at the Valley Stadium are also a little numb to the loss of this game, and the scene seems a little calm.

However, Tottenham Hotspur could not calm down at all, because all of them, including the fans in the stands who had come to supervise the away game, were concerned about the results of the other two games in London.
