Volume 1 Chapter 558 Culture of Tottenham Hotspur
Quack - Quack - Quack -
Everyone in the dressing room could hear Thiago Silva's heavy gasps, holding his head with both hands, beads of sweat the size of beans fell to the floor one by one, and the whole person kept making an uncomfortable sound similar to the one made by pinching the neck of a duck, which showed that at this moment, Thiago Silva's body was almost consumed.
The size of L.83 vs. L.89 doesn't seem to be completely without a fight at first glance, but the 79-kilogram block is against the 9L-kilogram block, which is a huge disparity of more than 20 catties.
More than 20 pounds of muscles piled up in front of you are enough to form a shock to you, not to mention that this group of muscles are all piled up on the tall Drogba, and the shock is enough to ⊥ some of the less courageous people feel weak.
Among the central defenders in today's football, it is really rare to meet Drogba who is not weak, and there are not many central defenders who can go hand in hand with Drogba, Lucio and Vidic are the two of the best ones, but they have the physical quality to support them, and Thiago Silva does not have this aspect at all.
With two players who are not in the same weight class at all, you can imagine how difficult Thiago Silva's situation is, especially after Tottenham Hotspur opened the scoring and Chelsea launched a near-fatal counter-attack.
Some people may say that stupidity, overcome rigidity with softness, and use consciousness to make up for the lack of strength and strength.
But the question is, big brother, you are smart and not stupid, and the advantage of others is to fight with strength, and he will still watch you fill with consciousness? Will he still fart and fight directly against you every time he doesn't play with you?
In the face of absolute strength, you don't have enough self-protection ability, and you can't defend yourself at all
Ye Qiu gently pushed open the door of the dressing room, and he was the first to find Thiago Silva, what he saw was the painful look of the Brazilian central defender, and his legs in the hands of the masseuse, sweating profusely, looking a little collapsed.
The strong dialogue is always a game that hurts the enemy a thousand and loses eight hundred, but as long as it is won, the harvest will be very, very rich, whether it is for the players or the team.
"How?" Ye Qiu walked up to Thiago Silva and asked with concern.
"It's okay," Thiago Silva replied, but he was still panting and a little bit unconnected.
Ye Qiu patted Thiago Silva on the shoulder, "Have a good rest and hold on for a while in the second half, can you do it?" ”
I believe that at this moment, how much Thiago Silva hopes to be able to hear the sound of replacing him from Ye Qiu's mouth, how much he hopes that he can sit on the bench in the second half, watch the team win comfortably, and beat Chelsea, but what he is waiting for is cruel, tell him, and then insist on the order.
Can he refuse?
The answer is, no
"Guys" Ye Qiu applauded vigorously, he had to make everyone play their best at the beginning of the second half, "I know that everyone is working hard now, I know that all of you are eager to rest well, your body has basically reached a limit"
That's where Chelsea get tough, because they're well-rounded and tactically executed, so they're able to drag you down in this way that's almost a drain on you, and you have to be better than them to survive and hold up before you have a chance to beat this opponent, otherwise you're going to be dragged down alive.
From the Ye Qiu period, to the Jose Mourinho period, to Guus Hiddink last season, and then to Carlo Ancelotti this season, Chelsea's style can be said to be in the same vein, getting stronger and stronger, and gradually becoming a conspicuous symbol and feature of Chelsea.
'But believe me, as long as we play our attack in the second half and can break down the Chelsea goal again, the last win will be ours, not just the last win, we will step on the Chelsea corpse, climb to the top of the league and sit on it until the end of the season'
"This is my promise to you"
In Ye Qiu's view, this season's Tottenham Hotspur is actually a transition period, from the past offensive strength and weak defense, to become more balanced, from the past focus on high defense, gradually retreat a process, and in this process, Tottenham Hotspur needs to change a lot of things, he needs to explore a lot of elements.
There is no secret in professional football now, if you play such a tactic today, someone will immediately learn the essence from it tomorrow, and improve it according to their own characteristics, and become their own set of things, so there is no secret to football tactics.
This is the reason why Ye Qiu repeatedly emphasized mental strength and the overall when he reorganized Tottenham Hotspur.
It can be said that since last season, Tottenham Hotspur's tactical system has reached a new height, and if it wants to continue to develop, it has encountered a bottleneck, and it has to try and improve more, absorb more things, and it will take a longer period of time.
It's like everyone in the electronics field knows Moore's Law, which is a law proposed by the founder of Intel who doubles performance every eighteen months, but the problem is that this law is simply a false proposition.
Everyone only needs to think seriously about one question to understand, that is, in the case that modern technology has been difficult to change by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, and it is difficult to quickly and precisely how many times the electronic integration, how many nanometers can you achieve in semiconductors? Without the impact of new materials and new technologies, can you still maintain the momentum of the past?
Therefore, Ye Qiu knew very well from the beginning that no matter how to do smart phones, it was basically like this, and it would be difficult to have earth-shaking changes in at least ten or twenty years, so when he formulated the company's strategy, he put forward the concept of an intelligent ecosystem, rather than blindly moving forward in the smartphone business.
Isn't that the case in football?
Could it be that the so-called rise of overall football in the new century is not the impact of high-tech entering the football training ground, entering the youth training base, entering all aspects of players and teams, and so on?
If you don't believe it, you should ask Pele and Maradona, did they play football back then with as many complex electronic instruments and equipment as they do now, and did they need to think about so many complex nutritional supplements for a meal? Ask Menotti again, ask Santana, did they have such a complicated and cumbersome targeted tactic at that time?
What could happen for Lang?
The reason is simple, just like electronic equipment, the higher the level of integration and precision, the more complex and cumbersome it is
But he also has to be limited, he has a limit, just like it's hard for you to make semiconductors to 10 nanometers now, because you don't have such a technology yet, so any semiconductor company can only continue to accumulate, continue to try and explore.
Ye Qiu and his coaching staff have also been researching, if there is really a system that can break the existing tactical framework again in the future, what will it be?
The other Ye Qiu didn't dare to say anything, and he couldn't say anything, but there was one thing he dared to promise that he would not lack, speed
So he realised that Tottenham had to adjust quickly, and he had to walk in front of everyone again.
But the speed he understands is not the absolute speed of Cristiano Ronaldo or Gareth Bale, but a speed that combines more nuanced passing, control and cutting skills.
Sometimes, he once thought about a problem like this, worked hard to improve a tactical system, but after playing for one season, the second season was immediately contained by the opponent, and he had to do everything possible to improve it, what is it for?
After the end, he came to the conclusion that the pursuit is the pursuit of self-fulfillment
The players in the locker room all stood up one after another, surrounding Ye Qiu, and did not speak, but everyone looked at him.
Once, in his previous life, Ye Qiu was a, he didn't understand, he always felt that what kind of power, what a company, the most important thing about a team is a corporate culture, he felt that he sneered, believing you and me is a fool and an idiot, because he thinks that everyone works hard for the salary.
But now he really understands, because he feels that he doesn't understand because he can't reach the level, and now he understands.
The so-called corporate culture does not mean that you deliberately create and deliberately build, but an atmosphere that is finally gathered when you start a business, in the process of your hard work and realize the company's operation, through your own words and deeds, and through your own every move, slowly infect all the people around you who have the same ideas, the same ideas, the same dreams and pursuits.
Just like Ye Qiu, what is the purpose of building Tottenham Hotspur?
The pursuit of self-worth
So Messi refuses to leave the team because he still has pursuits; Ribery didn't think about leaving, because he also had pursuits; Falcao came to Tottenham Hotspur because of his pursuit, Coentrão, Marcelo, Alves
They all have pursuits, and they all hope to realize their self-worth with the help of Tottenham Hotspur
That's the culture, the culture of Tottenham Hotspur
It is also the core mental strength of this team, and it has already unconsciously infected the mental strength of every player
'Chelsea launched a counter-attack and a quick pass to Tottenham Hotspur on the edge of the box
"Drogba's cross, oops, leak, Anelka"
When there was a leak at the edge of the Tottenham Hotspur penalty area, and French striker Nicolas Anelka unguarded the ball at the top of the box, all the Blues fans in the stadium felt their hearts jump to their throats.
saw that Anelka was about to get up after taking the ball, but at the critical moment, a black figure stabbed out obliquely and directly blocked Anelka's shot with his body.
And after the black figure hit Anelka's shot fiercely, the ball rebounded, he didn't seem to be in pain at all, turned around, and rushed to the ball directly with a big foot to clear the siege, and everyone also noticed at this moment that it turned out to be Yaya Toure, the black strong back blocked Anelka's shot at a critical moment
But soon, Chelsea's attack burst into the Tottenham Hotspur penalty area again, Drogba slammed directly into Ziglinski with his body and faced the goal, Thiago Silva stabbed the ball from the side nimblely, although the man fell to the ground, but stabbed Drogba's foot at the feet.
However, his calf was also hit by Drogba's volley, and the Ivorian didn't mean to, but couldn't contain the momentum.
Fortunately, this kick was not real, so Thiago Silva was not injured, otherwise, it is estimated that he would have to go down.
'After the start of the second half, both sides fought fiercely, especially Chelsea, who continued the frantic comeback in the last moments of the first half, obviously hoping to equalise, but Tottenham Hotspur's defence was also very tenacious and Thiago Silva's performance in this game was very impressive.
"It's not just him, it's actually the whole defense of Tottenham Hotspur in this game, whether it's Yaya Toure or Thiago Silva or Ziglinski, has been very impressive, and Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka didn't get any good scoring chances in front of them."
But there is a good saying, there is no rudeness.
Tottenham Hotspur has always been known for attacking, although Ye Qiu said this season to emphasize defense, but in fact they are still the most offensive team in the Premier League and even Europe, when Chelsea is desperately attacking their own defense, Tottenham Hotspur's attack is also threatening Chelsea's goal again and again.
It's just that the Blues' defense is also very tenacious and steady, and they are desperately holding on to the last breath of the last breath, and they refuse to let go.
The two sides are competing in this almost suffocating torment, and the game time is also consumed by minute and second, depending on who can't bear it first in the end.
By the time the game entered the 60th minute, Chelsea began to have some problems.
The first is a single back, only Michael Essien is a back, although the Ghana buffalo covers a large area, and the strength has improved a lot in recent years, but no matter how hard the single back is, no matter how large the coverage area is, the physical requirements for the players are very high, and considering the intensity and intensity of this game, it is normal for Essien to be unbearable.
The other one who came down early was Ballack, who Ancelotti replaced Ballack with Mikel in the 55th minute, apparently to use Mikel to sort out Chelsea's midfield, but unfortunately, Mikel is not Ballack.
On the contrary, it was Mikel's misplaced pass that led to Beckham's break, Falcao volleyed hard, Cesar saved, and Messi picked up the shot in front of the goal to score the second goal for Tottenham Hotspur in the 64th minute.
After that, it was Marcelo who crossed diagonally from the left side of the box at a 45-degree angle, Falcao grabbed the point in front of the goal, grabbed the ball before Terry, and once again scored the ball into Cesar's goal, scoring the third goal for Tottenham Hotspur, 0
When Tottenham Hotspur scored consecutive goals, Ancelotti was a little powerless about it, because Chelsea's main squad is indeed very strong, but there is still a big gap between the substitute lineup and Tottenham Hotspur.
But as the game entered the 80th minute, he finally couldn't help but get nervous on the sidelines because Drogba was injured.
In fact, Ye Qiu has always believed in a sentence, too rigid and easy to break, that is to say, if you blindly play hard and eat, you are hurting others and hurting yourself at the same time, so throughout Drogba's career, it is almost always accompanied by constant injuries, which has a certain relationship with the way he plays.
This time the injury was because after receiving the ball in front of Thiago Silva, he wanted to half-turn and shoot, but when he turned around, he obviously strained his calf, and as a result, he fell directly on the turf, and the Chelsea fans shouted fouls, red cards, penalties and the like in the stands, in fact, Thiago Silva was wronged, he didn't touch Drogba at all.
Fortunately, Webber understood the situation and quickly let Drogba be carried off the field on a stretcher, it seems that the injury should not be serious, just rest for a day or two, especially with Drogba's beast-level physical fitness, at least Ancelotti does not seem to be in any sad mood.
Drogba's importance to Chelsea is extraordinary, and with a lack of precision and efficiency in Chelsea's midfield, a large part of the Blues' attack has relied on the kind of manoeuvres that Drogba has had to play up in front of him, and it would be an exaggeration to say that he has relied on his hard-hitting to prop up Chelsea's attack.
So, if Drogba is really injured, and not lightly, the saddest thing must be Ancelotti.
However, this game also proved another thing, and that is that when a team relies too much on one player, it is not always a good thing, as in the case of Tottenham Hotspur, which froze Drogba and successfully contained Chelsea's attack.
With the departure of Drogba, everyone in the entire Tottenham Hotspur backline was greatly relieved, especially Thiago Silva, Ye Qiu immediately replaced Thiago Silva with Phil Jones, giving the captain a good rest, and then fully exercising Phil Jones, a newcomer.
After Drogba's departure, Chelsea also lost the idea of continuing to forge ahead, and Ancelotti's diamond-shaped midfielder ultimately failed to lead Chelsea to beat Tottenham Hotspur, but was beaten by Tottenham Hotspur at his home stadium with a 0, which made the Chelsea fans in the stands lose face.
Live TV footage also captured Roman Abramovich and Pini Zahavi, with the two Chelsea bigglings also looking depressed as their side fell to Tottenham Hotspur once again, which was tantamount to sending Tottenham Hotspur to the top of the league.
With Webb's whistle, this high-profile focus battle finally came to an end
