Section 383 On the right track

In the third round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Chelsea, which also made the media of England all eyes focused. As a coach who has just won the Champions League, Li Bin's team is now considered a little weak, but this does not prevent the media from paying attention to him. After a win and seven points from three games, Tottenham were all on everyone's radar.

In fact, the game itself is more eye-catching than the result of the game, Chelsea, which should have been a strong team, was beaten by the concentrated siege of Tottenham's two wings in the game, and the momentum it should have is not visible at all. And in a hurry, Tottenham Hotspur, whose average of the two wide players is less than 20 years old, relied on the advantage of the wing to suppress Chelsea. Bale, who was considered a disaster last season, scored a brilliant goal in the game, which was even more eye-catching, if it weren't for the last moment, Drogba relied on the huge advantage of his body to force the Spurs backfield, then Chelsea really would have been a complete defeat.

'Scolari didn't show any quality in the game. His use of personnel is very problematic in itself, such Drogba does not look like an injured body, and his style of play on the wing has also been fully restrained by Tottenham - Tottenham are just two hairy boys, Chelsea cannot win, it is hard to imagine how unbearable they will be when they meet Manchester United. Scolari's change of tactics was a complete failure, he did not tinker, but wanted to completely rebuild the team that had already been formed, and in doing so, he was self-defeating. ”

"Li Bin did a decent job in the game. Compared with other on-the-spot conductors, his arrangement is more highlighted. He let Bale advance, let Di Maria change sides, and let Gustavo play from the back to the middle of the midfield, all proved to be successful, these players have played very well in these games, I originally thought that Li Bin, who was born in Italy, did not know how to use wide players at all, and now I have to say that I may have thought wrong. However, Li Bin's command is still a big problem, in the previous period, he commanded the team to suppress Chelsea very successfully, but after Drogba came on the field, he clearly revealed his fear of Drogba, if his tactical arrangement is more aggressive and bold, maybe Tottenham can get a better victory. ”

After the game, the media commented on the two famous coaches who took up the salary, and although the Englishman was a little harsh in his words, the problem was accurate.

Regarding this situation, Scolari complained twice that the club did not buy him the Robinho he wanted, and at the same time emphasized again that Chelsea is not capable of playing 442, only 433, and Li Bin was a little helpless in an interview, "If you are willing to give me a back line like Manchester United, I can also command very boldly." But our backline has just played less than 10 games together, how can we not be careful? Just be careful, we lost a ball. I don't think there's anything wrong with my command, just look at Didier Drogba's goal numbers against Arsenal and you can see that we've defended very well. ”

Li Bin's statement made Arsenal lie down and was shot. However, compared to what Li Bin said, Arsenal now need to pay more attention to their own form: at the beginning of the season, their midfielder Diaby was lying in the hospital bed again, which made Arsenal's game much more difficult, and they ignored Li Bin's thoughts.

And the media also found out at this time, after Tottenham defeated Chelsea, they have become the second team in the standings, in the Premier League semi-finals, except for Manchester United, those three have lost in the first three games, and now they are all six points, only Manchester United and Tottenham also have seven points, relying on a 3-0, goal difference in front of Tottenham. Tottenham have such quality, it makes people seem to see, maybe the competition for the top four that Tottenham said is really possible.

"If Tottenham can maintain their current form, it is really not impossible to compete for the top four."

The media said this, but Li Bin just rubbed it and threw it into the trash, "We have conceded two goals in three games and only scored five goals, so it can't go on like this, we have to play better, we have to play better, we have to play better, we can get more points." ”

Li Bin's concerns are not unfounded. After the win over Chelsea, only Thiago Silva approached Li Bin to express his views on the team's shortcomings, and the rest of the people were too optimistic about the situation, which is not good.

Sure enough, Tottenham hadn't been happy for a few days before they suffered their first defeat of the season.

The team that beat them was also a team that relied on wide attacks to play counter-attacks - Tottenham tasted their first defeat of the season in the fourth round against Aston Villa.

Aston Villa's defensive counter-attack is quite sharp, their two wings Ashley Young and Abonlaho are now international players to be watched by the whole Premier League, plus they have Karui in the front line and Barry in the midfield, and the overall strength is still quite strong.

And in this game, Tottenham lost to Di Maria on their side, and was completely defended by the Dutchman Bouma, as a veteran, Bauma is not fast, but he is experienced Relying on his experience, the defender of the second division Aston Villa, Cahill's constant evil king, they successfully blocked Di Maria, so that Tottenham's right side could not work.

On the other side, they opted for Tottenham to blow each other up. Abonlahor relied on his speed to launch a quick counterattack, and Tottenham several times to bombard, Abonlahor successfully relied on Abonlahor speed to find the moment when Kolarov's defense was not timely, Abonlahor broke through him, got up and crossed, Kalou's header, let Tottenham lose a point first.

Tottenham then managed to equalise through a Yaya Toure free-kick, but the equaliser didn't end the game when Ashley Young went down after 70 minutes to give Aston Villa a penalty to win the game.

Tottenham's loss made the media fall into discussion for a while: now Tottenham is regarded as a top-four competitive team, whether it is fair to give them such a penalty has also made the Premier League media begin to pay attention.

He lost to Professor Yang...... Li Bin is not without resentment about this. However, since the media is looking for trouble with the referee, Li Bin doesn't care, he is more concerned about the situation of the players than the referee's decision.

After the loss, Tottenham's situation was really bad, however, they didn't let Li Bin wait longer, Suarez led his head to Li Bin and wanted to discuss this game, and although the others did not speak, they all meant this.

This made Li Bin find it very interesting.

The psychology of the players, sometimes it's fun. Many coaches have emphasized that the most important thing in coaching a team is to maintain the team's hunger and thirst, so that the team always feels that there is more to pursue, so that the team can play better and better. Tottenham's current players are very hungry: Suarez is eager to show himself, as a player born in 1987, he can only be said to be unknown now, and Messi, who is the same year as him, can already compete for the top few places in the Ballon d'Or, but he is nothing, Cavani next to him is the younger brother of his club and national team, but he has won full honors, championships, etc., in this case, he is more anxious than anyone else.

Not only was he anxious, but Di Maria was also anxious. Over the years, Argentina has come out of the woods, and there are many attackers in the frontcourt. Messi, Aguero, Tevez, these three people are recognized as world-class strength and potential, and the rest of Milito and others are also stable and powerful players. As an Argentine, without Maradona's height and Batistuta's body, he just doesn't get much attention, he has a company that is not handsome, no reputation, no salary, no advertising, no fans...... In short, there is nothing, and he is anxious to become famous as soon as possible.

They are very obedient to Li Bin's words, because they know that this is the best choice for their success. It's hard for the players to want nothing but the title, but they can all understand that the title is the best way to achieve their best together.

"To be honest, in the first few games, we exposed a lot of problems. You're all playing too much to be self-conscious, and you don't care about what cooperation is, which shouldn't be. I thought you would be able to play your own mind, so I didn't set a strategy for you, but now, I think I should give you some planning. ”

Li Bin called Cavani, Suarez and Di Maria over, and he arranged a whole set of tactics for them.

"When Di Maria gets the ball, you have to make sure that his left side is ready to receive it at all times, otherwise his left foot is blocked and his right foot is almost useless – which is what Bouma did in this game. Once you have the ball, you should learn to break through as the last option, not the first option, you don't need to master too many difficult runs right now, but it is a crucial first step to meet your teammates in the right direction and have them in your eyes......"

After losing the game, Li Bin felt that it was a good choice to use the defeat as an education for the players to learn how to play. The Tottenham players selected by Li Bin are all players with strong individual ability, and those who have good personal foot skills are more or less fond of sticking the ball and not very fond of passing - however, Li Bin also wants to turn them over and let them learn what team football is.

Of course, he didn't think about this tactic as he said it would have been before, but he just expected the players to be better - he had thought about it early and he would have taken it out early, and what he expected could be integrated into the tactics. He also designed it just now, but he didn't say it, and it was also to give the players confidence - different from when he took over Parma, at that time Li Bin was the new coach, and the team was mostly veterans, Li Bin had to be modest, so he only figured it out. But now, they are all young people, Li Bin is a famous coach, he has to give the players confidence so that the players can play well.

It's not a day or two, but it has to be done. They have such skills, and if they do more to sharpen them now, it will be of many benefits to them.

"The three of you, on the right flank, form a multi-point blasting pattern, everyone can attack with the ball, and you can also pass the ball to make your threat the most. We're a little bit too dependent on individual ability now, but when we don't have the ability to play individually, we have to be able to play and work together, and the next time we encounter that situation, you won't suffer again. ”

"What about the left side?"

"Bell on the left side will mainly play a role in the involvement over there, and his skills are still poor, let him practice again. But on the right side, the three of you, are our most important combination, you have to play well to make our results go up! Remember, children, even if you are a pack of wolves, you are only cubs now. If you don't cooperate, you will be bitten to death by the enemy, and if you cooperate, you can bite anyone! ”

Tottenham played a good goal against West Bromwich Albion – their best game of the season – with Edinson Cavani netting in the first half, Di Maria netting in the second half, and Suarez winning a penalty and Yaya Toure to give Tottenham their first 3-0 win since Lee took office.

That's just like the words - this team is finally on the right track.
