In the past few years that Ye Qiu has coached the Premier League team, he has a very good relationship with Ferguson and Wenger, especially Wenger, who is a neighbor in the end, although he coaches a sworn enemy team, but their relationship with Wenger's family is very good.

The worst relationship is Mourinho, but after the Portuguese left Inter Milan, he seems to have a better opinion of Ye Qiu, but he will occasionally think about it and say a few words, even cynical sarcasm, but in the case of Tottenham Hotspur's excellent performance, he remains silent.

The strangest relationship is still Benitez

Many people say that Benitez is Ye Qiu's bitter master, and the reason is very simple, his team always makes Ye Qiu suffer

It should be traced back to the time when Ye Qiu coached Chelsea, when he had a duel with Benitez's Liverpool, Ye Qiu really didn't get any bargains, but had a fiasco, including the Champions League final defeat that Ye Qiu cited as the most painful lesson in his career.

It is precisely because of such a grudge between Ye Qiu and Benitez that the outside world is generally full of suspense about this matchup between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool, because Liverpool is the leader, but Tottenham Hotspur has been in better shape recently, and it is at White Hart Lane

Anyone who knows Benitez well knows that the Spaniard doesn't like to talk, he rarely gets into a war of words with the media before a game, and even a lot of times, when the other person scolds him by pointing at his nose, he takes the trick of patience, but this time he doesn't seem to be holding back.

The reason for the incident can be traced back to Ferguson's joke in an interview, he smiled and said that Manchester United do not have any pressure at the moment, even if they are now a lot behind the top two teams, but Ferguson said that Manchester United still have hope, and for the 11th round of the league Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool, he said that he has the mentality of watching the show.

"Whoever they win is very good for us"

This was originally a very common sentence, but what I didn't expect was that when the reporter relayed him to Benitez, the Spaniard was a little furious, and he fired directly, "Ferguson always focuses too much on how to talk about other teams, I think that if he talks about other people's energy on his own team, then Manchester United will be higher in the league standings." ”

At the same time, Benitez added: "The biggest difference between me and Ferguson is that I don't talk much, I just want to concentrate on preparing for our game, and Ferguson is not, so obviously you can see that Manchester United are not doing well at the moment and they are starting to feel the pressure

Liverpool are currently in first place in the Premier League table with a three-point advantage, while Manchester United are sixth, and Alex Ferguson's side are currently eight points clear of Liverpool, even behind dark horses Hull City and Aston Villa.

Sometimes it has to be said that modern consulting is too developed, the distance between Manchester and Liverpool is too close, and the relationship between Manchester United and Liverpool is an endless rival, so Ferguson quickly fired back at Benitez's cannon.

"Are Liverpool's results good? I don't think they've ever been convincing and believe they have what it takes to win the title," Ferguson said after another pause, "Relatively speaking, I think Tottenham Hotspur's performance is more convincing, at least they can slaughter Bayern Munich in the Champions League 410 and Liverpool? ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was mistaken, they were in the League Cup," Ferguson sneered.

Benitez is really not as good as Ferguson when he wants to talk about it, and immediately counterattacked when he heard this, "Isn't our performance convincing? I think it's important to remind Ferguson that he's not too young to see who the team is in the lead right now. ”

'I had a good relationship with Alex Ferguson, we were at some UEFA events together and he congratulated me after we won the Champions League and I gave him my best wishes before the final in Moscow, but after that everything changed and I think it was because of the loss at the Luzhniki Stadium

"One of the big reasons why I don't like Ferguson is that he only likes to talk about other people and forgets to talk about himself, maybe you should ask Hull manager Brown and I'm sure he will tell you that Hull lost at Old Trafford because of five minutes of stoppage time, what an outrageous stoppage time."

Sometimes it's really strange, it was supposed to be a war of words between Ye Qiu and Benitez, but unbelievably it was Benitez and Ferguson who had the last war of words.

"Benitez is under a lot of pressure right now, this is a catharsis" Roland, who is in charge of data collection and collation, knows the current situation better than Ye Qiu, and said with a smile at the team's internal pre-match preparation meeting.

"Oh?" Ye Qiu raised his eyebrows, and became interested, "Let's hear it"

"First of all, the management, according to the information we have received, the management of Liverpool is currently under siege from major sponsors because they are unable to participate in the Champions League, but not only that, but also because they cannot participate in the Champions League, which has led to a sharp drop in the team's income and the delay of the new stadium plan"

Ye Qiu knew this, when Liverpool's two current American owners, Hicks and Gillette, came to power, they vowed to all Liverpool fans and sponsors that they would invest in the new stadium plan in the shortest possible time, because as all the teams in the Premier League began to brew a new stadium, it would be too late for Liverpool not to do it.

But the groundbreaking of the new stadium in June is still far away, and the club's finances are in trouble, leading to dissatisfaction among fans and sponsors, including Liverpool's main sponsor Carlsberg, who has publicly blasted the team's decision to postpone the new stadium.

The reason is simple, Carlsberg also wants to further promote its brand with Liverpool's new stadium.

"I've been told that Carlsberg wants Hicks and Gillette to sell Liverpool because they want to join forces with the 006 group from Dubai to buy Liverpool, so that the giant team can get a huge amount of money and return Liverpool to the Premier League in the shortest possible time."

Roland smiled when he said this, "DIC has reached a purchase agreement with Gillette, but Hicks, the majority shareholder of the club, refuses to sell his shares and prevents Gillette from selling his shares, which leads to the DIC Group, which wants to follow the example of the Abu Dhabi consortium and make Liverpool the group's business card, unable to control Liverpool smoothly." ”

If Ye Qiu is not mistaken, the DIC Group is a state-owned enterprise in Dubai, a company used for overseas investment, but the situation of this company is not very ideal, they seem to have gone bankrupt in 210, and it was another American consortium that later acquired Liverpool, and in the whole process, Liverpool can be said to be tormented.

"Hicks and Gillette can no longer pay for Liverpool to build a new stadium, but Liverpool fans are desperate for the team to build a new stadium as soon as possible, because they all know very well what the new stadium represents, so, under pressure, Hicks and Gillette diverted the conflict, accusing Benitez of unfavorable recruitment."

"Now Benitez is a dumb loss" Roland's chubby face showed a very aggrieved expression for Benitez, because his biggest crime was to bring in Roy Keane, but the problem is that Roy Keane was not brought in by Benitez at all, but Hicks and Gillette.

It was precisely because of the unsuccessful introduction of Roy Keane that Benitez got the transfer initiative, so he advocated the introduction of Torres, and Torres became an instant hit and became Liverpool's leading striker, but Liverpool's key problem was still not solved, that is, attack

Throughout the years since Liverpool was coached by Benitez, from winning the Champions League to the present, so many years have passed, but Benitez has never found an effective way to solve the problem of tandem between the team's forwards and midfielders.

Ye Qiu brought in David Silva for what to do, because he is better suited to tandem striker and midfield than Cesc Fabregas.

Cesc Fabregas and Steven Gerrard have a certain amount in common, the Spaniard is better at handling, organising and passing, and Gerrard is more athletic and defensive, but neither is the kind of midfielder who pushes forward with the ball, they are better at cutting in without the ball.

But Tottenham Hotspur has wings, full-backs, but Liverpool does not, so Tottenham Hotspur's ball path advancement is not a big problem, you can go to the side, you can also let Messi and Van Persie retreat, but Liverpool can't, because once Torres retreats, who will go up and attack? And Torres isn't the kind of drop-back striker either, he's better at attacking the defence head-on.

Then, the problem is obvious, Liverpool's ball advancement over the years has always relied on two points, either Xavi Alonso's long pass, or wing advancement, but Liverpool does not have an excellent breakthrough on the side, and the stability of the long pass is not strong, so Liverpool's attack has always given people a feeling of instability.

Of course, this is in the case of an active attack, and if the defense is counter-attacking, Liverpool are quite good.

"No wonder that fat man is so in the mood to quarrel with Ferguson," Ye Qiu also smiled after hearing this.

To some extent, Ye Qiu does not appreciate Benitez, because the latter's tactics are too mechanical, and he is eager to wipe out all the creativity of the players, and then mechanically execute his tactics, which is not what Ye Qiu admires.

Ye Qiu advocates freedom and creation, and creation represents adventure, non-stop attempts, success is naturally good, failure will definitely suffer a big loss, and this is what Benitez opposes.

"For Liverpool, this game must be won and defend its position as the leader of the league" Roland looked at Ye Qiu with a smile, sometimes intelligence has such benefits.

Ye Qiu smiled after hearing this, "If you have to win, then Benitez must take the most secure tactics and defend and counterattack."

After a pause, Ye Qiu smiled again, "Sometimes I think that Fat Bei is really interesting, he doesn't say a word on weekdays, he doesn't stop talking as soon as he talks, and according to the general rule, if he speaks, it means that Liverpool has a problem." ”

"Ha, sometimes think about it, if Bei Fatzi is the owner of a listed group, according to his law, he should sell it aggressively now, because as soon as he opens his mouth, Liverpool will be unlucky"

After a joke, Ye Qiu also knows that Benitez's targeted defense is very good, which can be called the best in the world, if he really wants to defend, with his overall tactics, Tottenham Hotspur's attack may not be broken, after all, these two teams know the roots, and everyone knows the characteristics and advantages of you and me.

"Let's step up set-piece training in the afternoon training session and play Liverpool, just rely on it"

A day later, in the evening, at the White Hart Lane Pitch in London.

Gareth Bale stood on the right side of the Liverpool penalty area, about 25 meters from the goal, the Welsh youngster was sweating profusely, his muscles in his chest were constantly rising and falling, but his eyes were staring at the goal in front of him.

A ball sits on the turf not far in front of him, and behind it, in the penalty area, five Liverpool players are sandwiched by Kompany in a human wall, and further back, Spanish goalkeeper Reina is gearing up to save a direct free-kick that is quite well positioned.

It was the 53rd minute of the second half, the score was 1:0 The home team Tottenham Hotspur scored in the first half by Messi, and all the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stands were waiting for Gareth Bale's penalty.

On the sidelines, Ye Qiu and Benitez were both standing in the command area, and Frank Ribery, who had not re-entered the White Hart Lane pitch for more than three months, was now standing on the sidelines warming up, but because it was Gareth Bale who took the free kick, he stood on the sidelines and watched, paying attention to this free kick.

In the stands, banners and cards were everywhere with Tottenham Hotspur fans welcoming Ribery back to the pitch, which was Frank's first appearance of the season after suffering an injury at the European Championships, and according to the team's doctor's explanation of Ribery's injury recovery, the Frenchman is considered to be basically fine.

However, in the end, it is a torn ligament, although it is not a vital part of the knee such as the cruciate ligament, but it is also a very troublesome thing, everyone in the club is cautious, not daring to be careless, after all, no one knows whether Ribery can return to his peak condition after ligament repair surgery, or whether his body can return to his peak condition after returning to the game, or whether his body can return to before the injury.

As Huang Chu said to Ye Qiu in private, there are many such surgeries, and after recovery, vigorous exercise may lead to problems in other aspects, so she suggested not letting Ribery play the main force for the time being, after all, if you are in a hurry now, it may make Ribery's left ankle unbearable.

Before taking the penalty, Gareth Bale did not forget to glance at Ribery on the sidelines, who was his biggest rival, because he knew very well that as long as Ribery returned to form, he would be sent back to the cold palace, because everyone believed that the trident of Ribery, Van Persie and Messi was the strongest attacking combination for Tottenham.

But the Welshman is not prepared to give up his main position easily, so he has to rely on his performance and prove it all with his strength

I saw Gareth Bale lightly step on the turf under his feet, and with the referee's whistle, he rushed forward quickly, with the help of this momentum, he quickly rushed to the ball, and at this time his right foot was just on the ground, and his left foot was raised high.

At this moment, in front of him, there was also a change in the human wall, in which Kompany deliberately created a hole for Gareth Bale, and all the players in the Liverpool human wall jumped high.

Everyone heard a thud, and the ball at Gareth's Bale's feet was violently slammed into the air with a burst of sound, like a lightning bolt, and it went straight through the gap in the human wall made by Kompany, and fell quickly in some kind of arc, and then went straight into the bottom left corner of the goal.

Although goalkeeper Reina has always been known for his quick reactions, this time he really couldn't react at all, and by the time he looked over, the ball had already gone into the net, 2:0

Gareth Bale rushed to the sidelines excitedly, pointing with both hands along the way, while the surrounding Tottenham Hotspur players rushed up one by one, hugging Gareth Bale tightly, everyone knew that as long as they beat Liverpool, then Tottenham Hotspur would succeed and become the leader of the league standings for the first time this season

The Welshman was congratulated by his team-mates and fans in the corner area, and Franck Ribery was the first to rush up to congratulate him on his goal, as well as David Beckham, as the team's vice-captain, Beckham has rarely started as a main player this season, but he has come off the bench many times, and his free-kick skills and long passing strength are absolutely unquestionable.

And now, he is very pleased to see that there is a rising star like Gareth Bale in the team who can take on the burden of Tottenham Hotspur's free kicks, and in the past two years, Tottenham Hotspur's team has not been weak in the practice of free kicks, including Ribery, Messi, David Silva and others, all insist on training free kicks.

But Gareth Bale's free-kick skills are the best of all, and this has a lot to do with his free-kick training at Southampton, where he showed great free-kick skills from an early age.

It was Gareth's second direct free-kick of the season

All the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stands were thrilled as they finally waited for the moment when the team beat Liverpool and made it to the top
