On the 30th of the English Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur went north to Liverpool, visited Goodison Park, and challenged the home team Everton away, which is not only a Premier League game, but also a battle between the fifth and sixth places in the Premier League.

David Moyes's side have had ups and downs over the years, with one season good, one bad, and if you look at it according to the rules, Everton should be very strong this season, and in fact, they are currently fifth.

Before coming to Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur played two more games than Everton, that is, between the first round and the first round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur played an extra FA Cup knockout game and a League Cup semi-final second leg, while Everton rested for a full ten days.

In the semi-final against Arsenal in the League Cup, Ye Qiu arranged a semi-main and semi-substitute lineup to play, and the home team was a draw for Hesenna, Van Persie started and scored a goal, but Henry also equalized for Arsenal, and Arsenal had a clear advantage, but in the end could not break through Tottenham Hotspur's goal.

As a result, Tottenham Hotspur knocked Arsenal out of the League Cup with an aggregate score of 4l and successfully advanced to the League Cup final, which was against Jose Mourinho's Chelsea.

In the FA Cup, Ye Qiu arranged a large number of substitutes to play, Cavani, Carroll, Gareth Bale, Ashley Young, Huddlestone, Lucas, Mike Dawson and Kompany and other players all got starts, and the goalkeeper also became Joe Hart, but the team still beat Southend 4L.

Carroll emerged as the most eye-catching player of the game, with his height and impact up front, while Tottenham Hotspur also adopted a two-wing attacking strategy, with Gareth Bale and Ashley Young attacking both flanks, while Cavani was ambushed behind Carroll.

The two-striker duo paid off, with Carroll scoring twice, Edinson Cavani netting a goal and centre-back Mike Dawson's header from a corner to secure Tottenham Hotspur through to the last 16 of the FA Cup.

Although they played two more games than Everton, Tottenham Hotspur did not start badly at Goodison Park, relying on the opening attack of the anti-visitors, Tottenham Hotspur in the first minute, Ribery broke down the left flank, and Ruud van Nistelrooy scored in the box to open the scoring for the team.

But in the first minute of the first half, Everton took advantage of a counter-attack and striker Beattie equalised

After that, Moyes's team adopted a tactical strategy of shrinking the defense and actively counter-attacking, relegating to their own half, allowing Tottenham Hotspur to possess and attack, and waiting for opportunities to counterattack, which is tantamount to further putting themselves in a position of underdog.

The clock went from the first half to the second half, and Tottenham Hotspur controlled the initiative on the field, but they never found an effective way to break down the Everton goal, because Moyes adopted a tactic that could not be said to be extreme, but at least very, very disgusting, 45I but can also be seen as 54

Conservative tactics and more physical fitness have been a good way for Everton to contain Tottenham Hotspur's attack in the game, and they have used the numerical advantage in central midfield to contain Beckham and Cesc Fabregas.

Moyes is now clear that it is an attitude, I know that I can play openly, I can't win you, I will give up the requirements for the game scene, I only want the result, so I take the stubborn defense, if you have the ability, you will attack, if you can break it, you will be strong, if you can't break it, then you have to be careful with my counterattack.

In the RU minute, David Moyes made a substitution, defender Hibbert replaced a midfielder, further strengthening the team's defence, and also showing his attitude more positively, that is, to keep the game to the end.

Ye Qiu stood on the sidelines, and when he saw Hibbert on the field, he smiled bitterly and didn't know whether he should be happy or sad

The reason why I am happy is because Everton's approach now is to play Tottenham Hotspur as a first-class team, which can be regarded as a recognition and affirmation of Tottenham Hotspur's strength, because Everton will only adopt such a strategy when facing the top teams in the Premier League, and even sometimes against Arsenal and Liverpool, they will not play like this.

Being able to force Everton like this away from home, Tottenham Hotspur will be able to draw even if it is even.

But sadly, Ye Qiu felt that it was a pity, this should have been a great opportunity, directly suppressing Everton and returning to the fifth chance of the league, but if it was tied like this, he felt that it would be a pity, which was equivalent to giving the opponent a point in vain, and he lost two points.

Just when Ye Qiu shook his head and smiled bitterly, a cup of hot coffee was handed over next to him, and Roland's voice sounded, "Don't think too much, it's not bad to get a point away, warm up with a cup of coffee"

Ye Qiu looked at the assistant who was very open-minded, smiled, took the hot coffee, and then he found that the assistants were one by one.

It's the end of the month and the beginning of the month, and the weather in England is still very cold, and the players on the bench can still run out from time to time to warm up and move their muscles, but the Tottenham Hotspur coaching staff cannot, and they have to drink something to keep their bodies warm.

As soon as he took the hot coffee, before he could drink it, Ye Qiu walked to the sidelines, "Slow down, stay patient, David, come back some"

Beckham on the pitch nodded after listening to Ye Qiu's words, and shouted at his teammates, and Tottenham Hotspur's formation began to retreat a little, and the rhythm was appropriately slowed down.

This is what Ye Qiu has been emphasizing since the equalizer in this game, he is very worried that the team is too obsessed with attacking and blindly speeding up the tempo, which is the biggest hidden danger, because you are easy to make mistakes when you are fast, and mistakes often represent the opponent's counterattack.

"This is a tough battle, Roland" Ye Qiu took a few steps back, stood between Roland and Mauro Tasotti, looked at the court, and sighed, "Let's not say whether we can win this battle, but at least we must firmly grasp the momentum and initiative of this attack, and hold on to it until the last second of the game."

Mauro Tasotti listened on the sidelines and sighed, "The league relies on a breath of gas, and this breath cannot be dispersed"

He is a professional footballer himself, and he knows better than anyone that in a long season, any team will have problems of one kind or another, some problems can be solved well, but some problems will stay with you all season, you have to be able to overcome them, which requires everyone in the team to have a breath in their hearts and a common goal.

"It's just one season, Mauro" Ye Qiu smiled and patted Mauro Tasotti on the shoulder, "We often say that every strong team has its own temperament, what is temperament, to put it bluntly, it is self-confidence, and how does self-confidence come from?" ”

"No strong team is born, all strong teams are played by one game at a time, and for what is it, some teams are strong teams, and some teams are weak teams, just because in the face of the test, the strong team held on, won, they have self-confidence, confidence to overcome all difficulties, so they are strong teams, vice versa is a weak team"

Mauro Tasotti listened to it, and he hadn't figured out the explanation of Ye Qiu's strong team for a while, but he was very touched, because he thought of this season's promoted Mareddin, this team is the biggest dark horse in the Premier League this season, and is currently ranked seventh, but if you look at their player lineup, you definitely can't see that this team has such strength.

A lot of Premier League teams have a better squad than them, but they all fall in their hands, and if you watch the game, everyone just thinks that Reading are very hard-working, but that's all

Mauro Tasotti feels that not only Ye Qiu is right, but the self-confidence of a team is very important, Reading performed very well in the Championship last season, with 3l wins and 13 losses in 46 games, scoring 99 goals and conceding goals, 16 points more than Sheffield United, who are second in the league, and won the championship promotion.

They swept almost all the teams in the Championship last season, and after reaching the Premier League this season, they maintained the championship framework of the Championship period, only strengthened in a local position, which made Reading maintain enough tacit understanding and cooperation, and also made them from the Championship to accumulate a year of confidence and sharpness, smoothly brought to the Premier League.

is also promoted, Sheffield United is also very hard-working, and Watford is also not far behind, so why can't these two teams be like Reading? To put it bluntly, it's because they lack self-confidence

Reading, who have self-confidence, dared to press out to play Premier League teams against Yu, Sheffield United and Watford, who were not confident, adopted conservative tactics, and to put it bluntly, this self-confidence affected their rankings.

Of course, strength is also a factor on the one hand.

Many people say that the standard of a strong team is to be able to win the game when the performance is good, and to keep scoring points when the performance is bad, and what affects the team is actually a mentality, a confidence that everyone in the team believes that no matter how difficult the situation is, we can win and score points.

This self-confidence is not something that the head coach can do by bragging a few words and saying a few words, it must be accumulated and precipitated by playing games, playing tough battles, and losing opponents one after another.

In Ye Qiu's view, the current Tottenham Hotspur is in such a stage of accumulation, and even he said that it will take three years to compete for a Premier League title, which is definitely not empty words, because the first two years are the process of Tottenham Hotspur's accumulation and transformation.

Mauro Tasotti stood on the sidelines, watching Ye Qiu command the game, the team was playing fast and attacking urgently, so he walked up and shouted a few voices, asking them to stay calm and control the rhythm and initiative; When the team was playing slowly and the morale was a little less, he immediately went up to encourage the players, asking them to step up their attack and not give up.

How can a team make a deep imprint on itself?

Victory is not good, championship is not good, even you can beat all the opponents, you can only slowly, with little by little details, with a subtle impact to change the team, change the players, and then accumulate unconsciously, until one day in the future, you will suddenly wake up, this has completely become your own team

Time has entered the last stage, Tottenham Hotspur is still strengthening the attack, Ye Qiu replaced Mascherano, replaced Arshavin, replaced the physical Ruud van Nistelrooy, replaced Van Persie, and replaced Van Persie, both substitutions are in pursuit of attacking quality, and this substitution not only gives the players on the pitch motivation and goals, but also gives Everton up and down pressure.

Moyes couldn't sit still anymore and walked out of the dugout, constantly calling on the players to hold on.

The game was in the final stage, the physical fitness of both sides was in a bottleneck, and the morale of both sides was on the verge of exhaustion, and this game completely became a competition of team will and player morale.

Time passed very slowly and slowly, and the half cup of hot coffee that Ye Qiu grabbed in his hand had completely cooled down, but he didn't notice it at all, and his mind was all on the game.

This is a major test for Tottenham Hotspur, and against Everton, Tottenham will build up their self-confidence and tenacity, which will benefit the team in the next league and even the following seasons, because this kind of strong dialogue at key moments does not happen casually.

Maybe, there are only one or two games in a season, if you catch it, you will succeed, if you miss it, if you want to wait for another opportunity, it will be difficult, and Ye Qiu himself didn't count it, I don't know if the Lu Dao team can seize such an opportunity.

Now, there's very little he can do as a manager, he can only entrust everything to his players and give them trust, support and wait.

Of course, he can also understand the hard work of the players, many players are fighting so hard that they almost lose their breath, look at Ribery, half-squatting there, mouth wide open, speechless for a long time, just like a dog, sticking out his tongue and panting, you can imagine how uncomfortable he is at this moment, but in a blink of an eye, he fought again.

There is also Beckham, a 3l-year-old veteran, who played the whole game and ran a distance of 14 kilometers, but now the team's midfield defense is all supported by him and Fabregas, because Ye Qiu replaced Mascherano with Arshavin to strengthen the attack, so no matter how tired he is, Beckham is running, running non-stop.

Look at Cesc Fabregas again, the Spanish teenager had cramps just now, but he got off the field, was carried off the field, and after a few casual strokes, he stood up and jumped, and rushed back to the stadium, but was complained by the Everton players, and the referee kicked him out of the field, waiting for the dead ball opportunity to score again, and he stood on the sidelines and kept shouting to remind the referee to hurry up and let himself in.

The two full-backs, Alves and Vargas, also had a long running distance, and each one was out of breath, but every time the team needed them, they were still rushing and running.

Seeing the players on the field, Ye Qiu felt that he couldn't win such a game, he himself felt that he was a bag, and he felt that it was difficult to explain to the players, because everyone was desperate, everyone had forgotten everything, and there was only one thought in his mind, victory

This is not just a game, it is also a test for the team, for all the players, for everyone up and down Tottenham Hotspur, to step over, Tottenham Hotspur is qualified to say that they are a strong team, you can't cross, you will always be just second-rate, you will always have to let others step on your head.

Ye Qiu understands this truth, the players on the field understand this truth, everyone in the coach's box understands this truth, and the players and fans in front of the TV in the bench stand also understand this truth

Strive for the top, we want to be the strongest

The fourth official on the sidelines played stoppage time, which was a long four minutes due to the substitutions and the interruption of the game in the second half.

'It's already in stoppage time, so it's a shame because Tottenham Hotspur were better and more tenacious, but it's a shame that the draw was probably hard for them to accept, but it's a football game and they have to come back from Goodison Park.

"Everton is also a very tenacious team, at least in this game they relied on tenacious fighting spirit and active running in the case of their own lack of strength, froze the midfield of Tottenham Hotspur, and successfully contained their attack, and the score was won by the efforts of all of them."

"We have to say that it was a good game, the two sides were not the top teams in the Premier League, but they gave us a football feast, maybe in this game, you don't see the wonderful teamwork, the outstanding attacking routine, but at the very least, we saw that the players of both teams were brave and very man to win the game, and it will be a memorable game.

But just when the on-site commentator felt that the game should be over and was summarizing the game at the end of the game, he saw Ye Qiu, who had been standing on the sidelines, suddenly rushed to the sidelines, and shouted at the players on the court with a very excited expression, "Come on, don't give up, guys, there are still 4 minutes, there are still 4 minutes, let's not give up"

"Don't give up, Zhiludao? Don't give up" Ye Qiu was quickly stopped by the fourth official on the sidelines, obviously worried that he would affect the game, but his face flushed with excited shouts and the exposed green tendons appeared in front of everyone.

Soon, Roland also rushed out and stood beside Ye Qiu, "Come on, Tottenham Hotspur."

"Don't give up, come on, we can win" Mauro Tasotti also ran out.

Then, everyone in the dugout rushed out, Peter Brandt even threw his most precious laptop aside and rushed straight out, and the players on the bench also ran out, including Ruud van Nistelrooy and Mascherano who were off the pitch, standing on the sidelines to cheer for their teammates on the field.

The Tottenham Hotspur fans who came to the away stadium in the stands saw this scene on the sidelines, and they all stood up one by one, shouting in unison, "Come on, brave Tottenham Hotspur warriors, we just need to win, we only need to win"
