The 10:0 defeat of Roberto Martinez's Wigan Athletic made Tottenham Hotspur completely popular, especially the team's number one superstar Leo Messi, who staged a five-star streak, which was once again hyped by the media.

Tottenham Hotspur are also happy to help Messi win this year's World Footballer of the Year.

Three days later, Tottenham Hotspur played in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage with a full bench and young players, defeating Standard Liege 0 at home, and after the main squad got enough rest, they beat Aston Villa in the 14th round of the Premier League at the weekend, and there was no suspense 0 to knock Aston Villa off the horse and continue to maintain an unbeaten record.

It was after this round of matches that French football magazines took the lead in announcing a list, that is, the list of the top ten superstars shortlisted for the European Ballon d'Or, including Real Madrid's Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo, Barcelona's Xavi and Van Persie; Only Inter Milan's Ibrahimovic was selected in Serie A; In the Premier League, Chelsea's Didier Drogba, Liverpool's Steven Gerrard, and Tottenham Hotspur's Lionel Messi, Franck Franck Ribery and Cesc Fabregas.

Tottenham Hotspur should be regarded as the biggest winner of this list, because in addition to the three superstars in the current team, more importantly, Van Persie is also from Tottenham Hotspur's wonderful performance to be included in this list, from this point it is not difficult to see Tottenham Hotspur's star-making strength and level.

On the contrary, Manchester United, after sending away Cristiano Ronaldo, although Rooney was introduced, but the Red Devils Manchester United did not have a single player shortlisted, which is indeed a little embarrassing, and even many people began to hype, thinking that Manchester United is about to decline, but Ferguson scoffs at this.

On the 1st of the month, after several days of intensive hype, Messi was printed on the cover of the French football magazine, which also proved one thing to almost everyone, that is, this year's European Ballon d'Or awards of the French football magazine already belonged to the Argentine.

In this magazine, in addition to disclosing the award process, there is also the announcement of the selection results, Messi deservedly sat in the top spot, Cristiano Ronaldo and Xavi ranked second and third respectively, which is also more consistent with the speculation of the outside world.

With the advent of the information age, the media is becoming more and more developed, and it is becoming more and more difficult to continue to maintain a sense of mystery, and it can even be said that it is almost impossible.

Tottenham Hotspur's first game of December against Manchester United, the League Cup quarter-finals, the game was played at White Hart Lane, Ferguson arranged for Brown, Anderson, Gibson, Obertin, Welbeck and other young players to start, clearly to use the cup to train.

Ye Qiu also did not arrange the main lineup to play, but arranged Varane, Nastasic, Ramsey, Hazzard, Kyle Walker, Pogba, Phil Jones and other young players to start, directly with Manchester United to play a second-team competition.

In the end, Tottenham Hotspur, who had a better defense, defeated Manchester United 0, and the trident composed of Macheda, Obertan and Welbeck almost did not have a good chance in front of the defensive team led by Varane, Nastasic and Phil Jones, and finally lost to Manchester at White Hart Lane and was eliminated by Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup.

In particular, the center-back combination of Nastasic and Varane withstood the test of Manchester United's young attackers in this game, and ensured that the goal was not conceded very steadily, especially the excellent physical condition and air dominance of the Serbian central defender, which was eye-catching, and won the title of Vidic II after the game.

French central defender Raphael Varane is also a young central defender recently introduced by Ye Qiu, with excellent physical fitness, speed and explosiveness are not shortcomings, and his skills are also very solid and steady, looking very much like Ziglinski in the first team, or Pique in Barcelona.

However, the most impressive aspect of the game was the midfield combination of Phil Jones, Paul Pogba and Aaron Ramsey.

Although they are all young players, Tottenham Hotspur's midfielder has forced Manchester United's Park Ji-sung, Anderson and Gibson to beat the midfield, and the Red Devils' midfielder has been suppressed by Tottenham Hotspur's midfielders, and has almost failed to find form and rhythm throughout the game.

Phil Jones was as passionate and fierce as ever, while Pogba won the recognition of the outside world by using a sudden powerful volley from behind to break through Manchester United's goal, and was also dubbed Yaya Toure II by many media after the game, and he also began to rotate in the first team this season.

The victory of this game also made the outside media pay great attention to Tottenham Hotspur's academy again, especially the many young players who emerged in the team, all of whom showed impressive strength, and it is important to know that in the past few years, Tottenham Hotspur has cultivated excellent players such as Gareth Bale, Hazzard, and Ramsey.

Compared with Manchester United's young people are basically eighteen or nineteen, or even twenty years old, Tottenham Hotspur's Pogba, Nastasic and Varane are only sixteen years old, while nineteen-year-old Ramsey and eighteen-year-old Eden Hazzard have already established themselves in the first team, which is obviously different from Manchester United's youth policy.

Alex Ferguson has always stressed that Manchester United value youth training, but in fact, in the past few years, the biggest promotion of young players has been Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, the latter of which was forced to do so due to financial constraints, while Tottenham Hotspur took the initiative to promote young players, and at the same time sold the stars in the team at the right time in exchange for a high transfer fee.

As for the attitude towards young players, Ye Qiu has said before that young people are becoming more and more precocious, and many players are no different from young people in their twenties when they are eighteen years old, so they will begin to demand something from themselves at this time, such as playing in the first team, such as making more contributions to the team.

"We need to keep creating more opportunities and room for these young players to grow

So Tottenham Hotspur didn't hesitate to sell any player in the squad, because more players soon came out of the ranks.

There is another reason that Ye Qiu has never said to the outside world, that is, some semi-finished products introduced from the outside world, such as Pogba, Nastasic and Varane, often reach the age of about eighteen, if they do not see the hope of entering the first team, they will begin to centrifuge, or even choose to leave the team.

The introduction of semi-finished youth training丨 has huge benefits, first of all, because they have proven their strength and potential in some aspects, so this kind of semi-finished youth training! The success rate is very high, and it can even be said that as long as you properly guide and help, they can become talents quickly and with relatively little risk.

But the downside is that they often choose you because they feel that you can give them a chance, and if you don't see that opportunity, they will choose other teams and have less loyalty.

Therefore, Ye Qiu's attitude is very clear, as long as the young rookies in the team show enough strength and potential, I will give you a chance, whether you are sixteen or eighteen, anyway, as long as you show it, I will give you the opportunity to enter the first team, participate in rotation and substitution, and accumulate experience.

Of course, if you have the ability to show that you can play as a regular player on the bench and in rotation, such as Gareth Bale or Falcao this season in place of Cavani, then I'll let you play as a main player.

It should be said that this is the most sincere and effective talent echelon promotion plan that Ye Qiu can give.

But Ferguson obviously doesn't think so, he still prefers to enter the first team to play rotation in the early twenties of young players, or even around twenty-two years old, because at this time the players are relatively mature and stable, the technical and tactical style has also been formed, and he also has not weak strength.

So whether it is Welbeck or Macheda, they have not yet performed in the league and the Champions League, but this group of young people at Tottenham Hotspur, although they are only sixteen years old, have already played in the league, and with Tottenham Hotspur's outstanding performance in the Champions League, the last round, that is, the sixth round of the Champions League group stage, Ye Qiu has decided to arrange all of them to start.

Playing cup games at the age of 16 is already a huge temptation for young players, and if they are arranged to play in the Champions League and the Premier League, then the young players will definitely be more at home.

Of course, we can't blindly tolerate and trust young people, and at the same time give them some appropriate pressure, and the biggest and most effective pressure is to make them feel the almost cruel competition of the first team.

After knocking out Manchester United and reaching the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup, Tottenham Hotspur faced a star-studded Manchester City, but the two-legged semi-final was held in January 2010, so there was no need to think about it for now.

Back in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur challenged Everton away, the strong Tottenham Hotspur 4L knocked Everton away, Messi, who had just won the European Ballon d'Or, scored twice, Ribery and Falcao scored a goal each.

In midweek, the team travelled to Greece to take on Olympiacos.

Ye Qiu's game fulfilled the promise made to young players before playing Manchester United in the League Cup, that is, to arrange young players and substitute lineups to start, including Nastasic, Varane, Hazzard, Ramsey, Pogba, Phil Jones and other players all got starts, and the team's vice-captain David Beckham led the team.

However, because there were too many young players, Tottenham Hotspur lost away and lost 0I to Olympiacos.

Ye Qiu didn't say much about this defeat, he still told the evaluation of this group of young players in the team in an interview with the media after the game, he believes that young people are full of energy and passion, and losing the game will not affect his trust in young players, and will continue to give young players more opportunities to play and play in the future.

As for the two young central defenders who made mistakes in the game, causing the team to lose the ball, Ye Qiu also defended it, believing that everyone is responsible for losing the game, and it should not just be blamed on young people.

In the final analysis, it is still a lack of strength

Ye Qiu knows very well that the opponent of the Champions League, especially the away game, even if you encounter an opponent whose strength is obviously inferior to yours, the game will be difficult to play, not to mention that you have a group of young players with no experience at all, it is simply looking for your own draw.

But it must also be clear that losing is actually an experience, at least the young players have played in the Champions League early, this experience, this lesson丨 will make them more mature in the future, and at the same time urge them to continue to improve.

Back in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur continued their strong scoring streak and extended their unbeaten run to 16 games at home to a clean 40 home defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

With 15 wins and 1 draw in 16 games, Tottenham Hotspur is well ahead of the Premier League table with 46 points, while Chelsea is in second place with 16 games, 11 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats, the Blues have 34 points, as many as 12 points behind Tottenham Hotspur, which is also seen by the outside world as a basis for Tottenham Hotspur to win the Premier League title.

Manchester United have 31 points, Arsenal have only 28, followed by Aston Villa, Manchester City, Liverpool, West Ham United and Birmingham, among which Martin O'Neill's Aston Villa has been a surprise this season and is currently in fifth place.

After the 16th round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur's 17th and 18th rounds of the Premier League have been postponed due to their upcoming trip to the United Arab Emirates for the Club World Champions Cup, which has been postponed due to a conflict with the Club World Cup.

As the biggest club in the Club World Cup, Tottenham Hotspur has received a lot of attention from the outside world from the beginning, and FIFA has mandated that they must play as much as possible, because this is the obligation of the UEFA Champions League champions.

Tottenham Hotspur's commercial department also sees this trip to Abu Dhabi as an important attempt by the team to develop the commercial market in the Middle East, because the results of the summer trip to the Middle East are not very obvious, because it is more like a chic business game, but this time it is different, this time it is a battle for the world championship.

Not only Tottenham Hotspur attaches great importance to it, but Qatar Airways also attaches great importance to this trip to Tottenham Hotspur in the Middle East, and has carried out a series of promotions and promotions with Tottenham Hotspur in the Middle East in advance to warm up for the club's arrival.

In addition to all the players and coaching staff of the first team, the trip to the Middle East also included the club's key management, as well as the commercial team, and the group made a huge effort to the United Arab Emirates, not only to win the championship, but also to further develop the Middle East market, after all, the oil army here is very rich.

After arriving in Abu Dhabi, senior government officials of the United Arab Emirates, senior executives of FIFA, and even Al Fassim of the Abu Dhabi consortium have entered the training camp of Tottenham Hotspur, not only watching a training session of Tottenham Hotspur, but also having a round of exchanges with Ye Qiu, Peter Kenyon and others.

Among them, Alfasime asked Ye Qiu's opinion on the current problems of Manchester City.

Although they are competitors at the Premier League level, Ye Qiu and Alfasime obviously won't play any tricks on this kind of thing, and Ye Qiu also bluntly told Alfasime that the biggest problem for Manchester City at present is not the player lineup, but the manager.

"A good and qualified manager can put together a team in the shortest possible time, even if the results are bad, but at least he can make his intentions and tactical framework clear to everyone, but since last season, I have not seen even a little bit of the whole from Manchester City, it is the manager's responsibility"

Alfasime expressed his gratitude for Ye Qiu's guidance, and he didn't say whether he would listen, but he politely and politely wished Tottenham Hotspur a smooth victory in the Club World Cup and continued to win more championships

In fact, Tottenham Hotspur beat CONCACACAF champions Atalanta in their first game of the Club World Cup, and the old Mexican side managed to beat Oceania champions Auckland City, but struggled to threaten Tottenham's goal in the semi-finals.

Tottenham Hotspur won their first game and met Juan Veron's Estudiantes de La Plata in the final, a Copa Libertadores-winning Argentinian side that caused Tottenham a lot of problems.

In the final analysis, it is the sequelae of the long journey, and the strength of Estudiantes de La Plata is indeed not weak, so this game is very difficult, and Tottenham Hotspur was in a passive situation on the field for a while, especially Veron, who performed well and eye-catching in this team.

But in the end, Cavani's goal helped Tottenham Hotspur defeat Estudiantes de La Plata to successfully defend the Club World Cup title, winning the trophy for the second consecutive season and becoming the first team in the history of the Club World Cup to successfully defend the title.

This honor made Tottenham Hotspur highly affirmed by FIFA President Blatter after the game, who made it clear that he was a fan of Messi, and for Messi's poor performance in the Club World Cup final, Blatter also took the initiative to explain, thinking that this was mainly caused by excessive fatigue.

With Blatter's personal support, Messi, who just won the European Golden Ball Award, looks like he should be the number one favorite to win the world footballer, after all, in the past year, whether in terms of honor or performance, Messi deserves to win the world footballer.

In order to support Messi, Ye Qiu also vigorously supported his apprentice in an interview, believing that Messi should get the World Footballer of the Year, because he is the best player in the past season and deserves to be recognized

Not only that, all the players in the Tottenham Hotspur first team, plus Ye Qiu, Peter Kenyon, Ron Gurley and other senior executives, all decided to fly directly from Abu Dhabi to Zurich to support Messi to win the award

On the contrary, Messi himself seems to have encountered some trouble in front of the individual award
