Martin? Atkinson blew the whistle for the end of the game.

The entire White Hart Lane stadium was completely transformed into a sea of celebration, and countless Tottenham Hotspur fans let out their own shouts of celebration, and even many female fans were a little forgetful in celebration, and their passion in the stands of such a football match was not lost to the male fans at all.

However, there was a small wave of fans who followed the team to the away game to express their dissatisfaction with the referee's decision at one point, raising black whistle signs in the stands, but such scenes occur in almost every game.

The most controversial thing for Manchester City fans and players was during a counter-attack, Pirlo in the back defense had a small action when defending Aguero after Aguero used his personal ability to break through Vidal, but it caused Aguero to lose his balance and fall to the ground immediately after, but the referee Martin? Atkinson, however, did not think it constituted a foul.

In the Premier League, such a pull is very common, and generally speaking, the referee will consider it according to your situation, if you pull for too long, there is a danger of winning the card, at least it is a foul and a warning, but if it is a pull and it is loose, it will basically not be pursued.

Sometimes, no matter who it is, there will inevitably be a self-interested mentality, that is, to pick what is beneficial to oneself, and forget those that are not good for oneself, and Tottenham Hotspur was missed a free kick opportunity outside the arc of the penalty area in this game.

Lescott pushed down Messi, who wanted to take the ball and turn away, and the referee did not give a card or blow the whistle, which also made the Tottenham Hotspur players a little dissatisfied, but considering that the team was ahead, they let it go.

For the referee's performance, as the head coach, Ye Qiu and Mancini both know that the pace of football is so fast now, you can't ask the referee to be 100% accurate and fair every time, you can only ask him to be as fair and just as possible.

At the moment when the whistle blew, Mancini looked at the pitch with blank eyes, his brows furrowed, and he only had one feeling now, a feeling of powerlessness, because he didn't even know how he should clean up the mess in front of him, and even he couldn't simply put the problem on the referee like a small group of fans in the stands.

The referee was not a key factor in falling behind by two goals in the first half, conceding two goals in a row after the start of the second half, and even when Cavani scored the third goal of a hat-trick, the referee was still not a factor in favour of the home team.

0:5, this is a fiasco, and it is a five-finger palm print scraped on Mancini's face, scarlet, conspicuous, and shocking.

In the first 30 minutes, no one would have imagined that Manchester City would lose so completely at the end of the game, and everyone still felt that Manchester City had a good performance in this game, suppressing Tottenham Hotspur, at least not allowing the White Lily, who did whatever they wanted at Old Trafford a week ago, to play their own crazy attack.

But that's more of a toy, a cat-and-mouse play!

Tottenham Hotspur changed the start and style of play of the previous round and gave up his own attack, especially when Ye Qiu saw Manchester City pressing on the attack, he simply adopted a contraction game strategy, slowly consumed Manchester City's attack, and waited until thirty minutes later, and then suddenly pressed it and scored two goals in one breath.

In the second half, Mancini was ready to make adjustments and turn the tide, but at the beginning of the game, Tottenham Hotspur finally showed his bloody fangs and launched a wave of crazy attacks that lasted for 20 minutes, penetrating the Manchester City goal twice, completely crushing Manchester City's morale, and it was difficult to effectively threaten Tottenham Hotspur's goal throughout the game.

For such a scene, Mancini tried to turn it around, tried to save it, but he found that he could hardly do anything after the worst time, because the whole scene and situation were completely controlled by Tottenham Hotspur, and there was only one thing he could do, taste the bitter fruit of failure!

The referee was about to walk back to the tunnel with two linesmen and a fourth official, and the head coach of the home team, Ye Qiu, walked over to shake their hands, which was booed by some Manchester City fans, but drowned out the overwhelming cheers of the entire White Hart Lane stadium.

Mancini saw this scene, maybe after the game, there will be some conspiracy theory reporters who said that this is evidence that Ye Qiu has a good relationship with the referee, but as the head coach, he knows very well that this is just a kind of gratitude from the host to the referee team, this is a gentlemanly demeanor, whether you lose or win, you have to do it.

Didn't you see that after Ferguson's 0:8 defeat at home, he still shook hands with Webb? Can it be said that this is Ferguson colluding with Webber to deliberately lose to Tottenham Hotspur at home? Or is it Ferguson's next big game?

In England, there are more than 10,000 referees in the four major professional leagues and non-professional leagues, including 20 referees who specialize in the Premier League, and some referees who referee the Championship will also have some opportunities to referee the Premier League every season, so the competition between them is very fierce.

Premier League referees are professional referees, their income is closely related to the number of games and the level of the whistle, if their whistle performance is not ideal, or there is a dispute enforcement, will face a period of ban and fines, which will lead to a sharp drop in their income, and every game on the sidelines and stands, there are fourth officials to supervise, as well as some retired referees or managers, in the careful observation of the referee's every move, evaluate their performance.

Therefore, it is okay to say that the referee of the Premier League misjudges, because the referees of the whole world will misjudge, but it is a bit too much to say that the referee of the Premier League has a black whistle, even if sometimes there is a major misjudgment due to the referee's personal emotions, state ups and downs and other factors, it cannot constitute a black whistle.

Of course, there is also a delusion that fans can easily make, and that is to favor the strong teams.

The strong team itself is stronger and has an advantage, and they have more offensive opportunities, while the weak team usually focuses on defense, and between attack and defense, the probability of misjudgment is often more disadvantageous, because the fouls are basically on the defensive side.

For Roberto Mancini, he is well aware of this, and in the past few seasons, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Arsenal and other teams have been calling on the FA to further strengthen and unify the enforcement standards of Premier League referees, emphasizing the protection of players, especially those who are technical.

Therefore, Mancini did not have a hatred for the referee, and also walked to the sidelines, shook hands with the referee and linesmen of this game, and expressed his gratitude for their law enforcement in this game. Atkinson comforted Mancini.

After the referee team left, Ye Qiu walked towards Mancini, he took the initiative to reach out and shook Mancini politely, the two of them have never been friends with each other, although they meet often and can see each other on TV and newspapers almost every week, but they have no friendship with each other.

"Very good game!" Mancini said bitterly.

"Thank you!" Ye Qiu smiled politely.

The two did not have a relationship, and after being polite, Ye Qiu returned to the coach's seat of the home team.

Perhaps from the perspective of a professional manager, Mancini's tactical literacy is not in doubt, and there is no problem in theory, as many people say, Italian managers are often very good in tactical theory, especially in defense, but the biggest gap between Mancini and Capello, Lippi and other famous coaches is in use.

Or to put it another way, the tactical theories of modern football are basically the same, whether it is offensive or defensive, all are the same, you can learn these things directly if you go directly to the Cologne Sports Institute, or simply go to a football club, or even buy a few books to read yourself.

But theory is dead, how to live and learn, this is the key!

You have to know that the same tactics, the same thinking, the same lineup, you put it in the first half, and put it in the second half, those are completely different results, so how to learn and use, this is the embodiment of a manager's level.

At this point, Mancini is a weakness, and he is clearly a bit arrogant in this game.

Putting Manchester City together with top teams like Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid and Barcelona before the game is a kind of arrogance in itself, and the idea of attacking football after the opening kick-off of White Hart Lane is also an arrogant and arrogant idea.

There is a saying that is very true, arrogant soldiers will lose, and Manchester City's fiasco is because they are proud!

On the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur was at a disadvantage at the beginning, but it did not affect the team's patience, the players on the one hand actively defended, on the other hand, they were also patiently waiting for opportunities, half an hour later, they kicked their heads and scored two goals in a row, and the second half of the attack was a breath to vent the depression of the first half, directly expanding the score to 4:0.

At the last moment, Messi assisted Cavani, which was not only Cavani's hat-trick, but also Messi's own hat-trick of assists in this game, with the Argentine star scoring one goal and three assists, and was the best player of the game.

What's even more commendable is that Messi made 71 passes in this game, and succeeded 70 times, which was a very amazing pass success rate, and 50 of them were front-court passes, all hits, the best in the field, and he also contributed 13 threatening passes, which is the player with the most threatening passes in the team.

Compared with Messi's holding and passing, as well as using his personal ability to create killing opportunities in key areas, Cavani uses his physical strength to run and pull more to create gaps for his teammates, he sometimes plays in the middle of the front, sometimes retreats to support the midfield, sometimes pulls to the left, sometimes moves to the right, and has almost no fixed position.

Ribery has the skills to break through, shoot and run, his tacit understanding with Messi and Cavani, as well as excellent individual ability, make him a good threat to himself and his teammates no matter where he appears, and his versatility in the front court also allows him to play the left, center and right three lines with ease.

The three individuals are super capable and comprehensive, and at the same time, they cooperate with tacit attackers, so that Tottenham Hotspur's front line has almost no fixed combination, constantly changing positions, constantly interspersing back and forth, and constantly creating threats.

The happiest are the Tottenham Hotspur fans at White Hart Lane, they were not there when the team slaughtered Arsenal 9-0, and they were not there when the team slaughtered Manchester United 8-0 this season, which made them feel very sorry, but this time, the team satisfied them.

Beat their No. 2 rivals Manchester City 5-0 at home, and they finally got what they wanted!

Andy? Gray and Richard? Keith also appeared at White Hart Lane because their commentary was all about the focus of the round, while Tottenham Hotspur have faced the favourites in the last two rounds, so they are the ones who commentate.

'Tottenham Hotspur came back at home and made some changes and they continued to play the same game when they played Manchester United in the last round, but I think the culprit of Manchester City's heavy defeat in this game was Mancini!

Andy? Gray seems to have a lot of opinions about Mancini, in fact, in the professional field, Mancini's doubts have never stopped, even if he is overbearing at Inter Milan, but it is in the declining Serie A, and when he is changed to the European arena, he directly withered, and has never got a result to prove his strength.

"We all know that the biggest taboo in playing a strong team is to hesitate to gain or lose. Toure and De Rossi are two midfielders, Modric plays left winger and Nasri plays right winger, what does he want to do? Playing ball control? Playing possession in front of Tottenham Hotspur? ”

Andy? Gray laughed a little, in fact he still hadn't figured it out, and I'm afraid even Mancini himself hadn't figured it out.

In terms of player set-up, Manchester City's attacking squad is strong enough, but they don't fit together perfectly, but seem to be a bit of a siloed game.

Richard? Keith shook his head when he heard this, "Actually, I don't have a different opinion from you, that is, I think that with so many technical talents, if Manchester City are more determined in terms of possession, maybe they can make a difference in this area, because considering that Tottenham Hotspur's current midfield style has changed!" ”

But he just finished speaking, Andy? Gray shook his head vigorously, "No, no, no, you're wrong, Richard, Tottenham Hotspur sold Cesc Fabregas and David?" Silva, it is true that he has a little less possession in his midfield, but have you noticed that their possession starts to drag down and starts to spread out more at the back. ”

"I've always thought that Tottenham Hotspur can't keep the ball, if they want to brush the ball possession, they can brush some amazing time on the ball, because their off-ball runs are so good, as long as they run well off the ball, they must be able to brush up on the ball, but Tottenham Hotspur's passing and running are more straight and looking for opportunities!"

"That's why I say Man City can't play possession in front of Tottenham Hotspur because it's hard for you to keep the ball in front of them!"

Richard? Keith listened and smiled, "Maybe what you said is right, but I still think that Mancini's biggest problem now is that they lack obvious characteristics, with such a strong squad configuration, theoretically speaking, offensive football should play well, but they can play like this against weak teams, but against strong teams, they seem to lack confidence." ”

"So, I said the culprit is Mancini!" Andy? Gray reiterated his point, "As the head coach of the team, you should at least let your players feel your determination, whether you want to attack or retreat, you have to be clear so that the players can follow you!" ”

"I think Ye Qiu has done a good job at this, he will also make mistakes, but no matter how he makes mistakes, he knows very clearly what he wants to do, and this kind of clarity will be passed on to his players, even if it is wrong, the players will still follow you with all their hearts!"

"Also, I think one of the things that Mancini does very badly is that he doesn't like to take responsibility!"

Andy? Gray smiled bitterly: "This is definitely a fatal weakness for a leader, he lost the Europa League last season, the media attacked Balotelli's red card, at this time, as the head coach of the team, he should stand up and take responsibility, but he didn't, I think this is a leader, he is not qualified, no one will obey him!" ”

Richard? Keith listened again and again, "Relatively speaking, Ye Qiu, Ferguson and Mourinho and others are all very good leaders, many people say that they protect their shortcomings, in fact, you have to look at it this way, for the players, I play according to your manager's requirements, it is difficult to say whether I win or lose, but if I win, I have nothing to say, and if I lose, I am fully responsible, how can I accept it?" ”

"Players are also people, just like we commute in the company, for a smart leader, it is impossible for him to scold their supervisor in front of the employees, because this will cause the supervisor to have no authority in front of the employees, on the contrary, when they have problems, the leader will take the initiative to take responsibility, and the scolding has to close the door and scold himself!"

"Only in this way can the management of a company operate effectively!"

"It's the same with managing the locker room, if a player has a problem, your manager has to take responsibility, you don't take responsibility, all the problems are borne by the player, the player is not happy, you ask him to do something next time, he will start to disobey you, and then you will suffer the loss!"

Andy? Gray smiled, "So I said, now Manchester City's biggest problem is no longer the overall strength of the team, with such a strong team lineup, it is impossible to say that the strength is not enough, the real problem lies in the leader." ”

Andy? Gray and Richard? Keith still has the last sentence that he didn't say, that is, Mancini can't be the right person for Manchester City, which is even clearer from Mancini's performance and response in this game.

On the contrary, it is Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu's control of the team is vividly reflected in this game, what he wants to do, the players on the field can implement his ideas and plans very well, like a finger, and deal with it freely.

Looking at Manchester City from Tottenham Hotspur, if there is any weakness in the current blue moon, then their biggest weakness and deficiency is their lack of a strong, individualized leader!
