Li Bin's idea was also proved more in the second half: in the second half, Tottenham's attack did not stop, although Cavani wasted two good chances, but Suarez relied on a successful individual breakthrough to score a third goal for the team.

When the game reached the final stage, Dortmund was a little unable to hold on. Many individual raids have had a great impact on their morale, and as the game has reached its final stage, their physical strength has also been greatly affected, and now Dortmund will not be able to last long.

So, after 60 minutes, Dortmund made a lot of substitutions. Santana, Shaheen and others in the backfield were replaced, and after falling behind 1-3, they also knew that their team had few opportunities and no longer did useless struggles.

Dortmund's style of football has great merits: active counter-robbery in the frontcourt, more running, attention to the control of the landing point, and the implementation of multi-point breakthroughs - this tactic does have its own uniqueness, especially when combined with the German's unique high execution and high hardness football style, it can be said to be quite strong. Li Bin has always felt that Dortmund, which basically relies on Eastern European players to play, retains more of the style of German football than Bayern in the future - high execution, high running ability, high confrontation ability, plus some of the essence of the frontcourt pressing and small-scale cooperation advocated by football now, these things form Dortmund.

They were able to keep Tottenham at bay after the opening kick-off, and it had a lot to do with the quality of their tactics. However, it is not long before Klopp takes over Dortmund, physical training is not an overnight thing, and the current Dortmund cannot be strengthened in an instant, not to mention, their players are not very strong, and the forwards and defenders are basically very weak, and they are still far from maturity.

Of course, Tottenham's tactics are not mature, and if they do, they will not be breached as soon as they come up. However, in addition to the team's tactical preparation, Li Bin is at least willing to let his players use their excellent individual ability to control the situation, and he knows that his own tactics are not fully implemented, and the individual ability of the players can help the team win before they are fully implemented and the team is not fully integrated.

Seeing Dortmund make substitutions, Li Bin also replaced Ledley King on the pitch here, let Woodgate play, and then, he also let Lennon replace Bale, and then let Di Maria on the right return to the left, while Darren Bent replaced Suarez, and Hoddlestone replaced Yaya Toure, trying to get the rest of the team on the field to see how it works.

To Li Bin's surprise, after less than ten minutes of playing like this, Tottenham conceded the second goal.

This time, it was a corner. Substitute Shaheen took a nice corner, and in the box, Santana received his pass, pressed Woodgate, and hit the ball into the corner with a header!

What a damn conceded goal! Seeing this lost goal, Li Bin also shook his head speechlessly. No matter how you look at this ball, it shouldn't be lost, but Woodgate was completely suppressed, and Neuer, who was in goal, was inexperienced and couldn't pick a good position, so the ball was still broken.

What made Li Bin even more helpless was that after the ball hit the gate, in the penalty area, Woodgate was already sitting on the ground and couldn't stand up. Less than ten minutes into the game, Li Bin had to bring Dawson on the field to replace him: Woodgate was injured in the game and could no longer play.

The score of 3-2 was maintained until the bottom of the game, but for a period of time after the worst, Tottenham played dangerously.

And immediately after the game, the team doctor also told Li Bin his opinion, "Woodgate has a broken phalange, don't expect him to play for three months." ”

"It seems that our four central defenders are not reliable at all. Before the season even started, there was already a fall. Judging by their virtues in previous seasons, maybe when the winter comes to bring in reinforcements, we will have to buy new players again. In this regard, Esposito believes that it should be necessary to buy another defender, "Injuries are very difficult to control, especially for these old injuries, it is difficult to guarantee that they will be fine. Buying another defender might be a bit safer. I remember that you are also very concerned about Palmeri, and now he should be worth no more than 10 million, and it may be more beneficial for us to buy him. ”

Regarding this suggestion, Li Bin just shook his head and refused.

He originally wanted to bring Palmeri in, but the problem is that there are three homegrown defenders in the team, and if they are all idle and use their own lineage, it will inevitably make them suspicious. And if you use them, it will be difficult for Palmery to have a chance, and it is not a good time to bring him by himself - maybe in another half a year, there will be really more injuries, or another year, he will at least sell Dawson, and it is possible to buy another talent - in the first year of taking over the team, he always has to think about the atmosphere in the team's locker room, in order to restructure the team, he has to buy a lot of people, at this time, the centripetal force of the team will be greatly affected, he buys people from many small countries, although no new factions have been formed, But the atmosphere of the team has been a little chaotic, but fortunately, there are as many as double-digit local players left, which can be regarded as a cohesive team, at this time, if you don't pay attention, you will bring too many descendant players, and it is very likely that your team will become a pole of confrontation, forming a contradiction between the local gang and the airborne faction - Milan had this lesson in the late 90s, Inter Milan also had a fight against Brazil, Real Madrid and Barcelona have had a Dutch gang, and they have a headache when they see others make mistakes, and they can't make it again.

Although there are two of the three homegrown defenders left, it should not be difficult to survive half a season. And even if it really doesn't work, there is still a Jerome Boateng available in his team, and in terms of backhand, he has already kept it.

"And, I'm more worried about our high-ball defence than Woodgate's injury. The Premier League is a high-altitude league and we have a much heavier air defense task in the league this season than we did in the Premier League. But we're not in a good state right now. ”

Esposito didn't argue with Li Binduo, but raised another question.

Tottenham's two current defenders are not particularly good at heading defending. These two, among the defenders, Silva is not considered a tall player, Ledley King is basically half-disabled, plus a young, not good at hand-holding goalkeeper, which makes Tottenham's header defense definitely run into a lot of trouble.

"Take your time, set-piece tactics are the part that tests the tactical level the most, especially the English defender with the German goalkeeper, it's not a matter of one or two days, you can't be in a hurry."

English football and German football are very similar in some things, for example, both sides emphasize hardness and long passing, compared to the southern European teams are slightly rougher, and sometimes, they look a lot similar. But in fact, they have a lot of different things at a deep level, such as the hardness of English football, which refers to the fact that fouls should be decisive and ruthless, advocate confrontation, and advocate not backing down. But German-style hardness refers to the execution of orders in place, the confrontation must be accurate, and you can't complain because you are tired and tired of doing dirty work - one is the toughness of the kicking style, and the other is the toughness of willpower, which is the biggest difference.

When it comes to tactics, there are big differences between the two sides. As a goalkeeper from Germany, Neuer is very unaccustomed to having someone stand on the post when defending a corner, but as a player from England, they think that it is against the basic principles of football to be taken when no one stands on the post when a corner kick is taken. Although they have been playing football since childhood, they are all different in terms of connotation and details, and letting them play football together is like asking Quentin to make a pure love literary film, or asking Picasso to paint a picture of a lady with fine brushwork - although theoretically they are also filmmakers and painters, it does not mean that they can do these things.

Fortunately, as a team sport, footballers can't be as inflexible as artists. They have to learn to cooperate with their teammates, learn how to play together, this run-in process is not expected to be too short, Li Bin also knows that the problem of header defense is estimated to be a sore spot for Tottenham within a year - if it weren't for this sore spot, Li Bin would not have targeted the top four.

"However, after this period of time, it will get better. Among our players, except for Lennon, none of them are less than 180cm, and there will be a few short players in other teams' wide players, midfielders, and strikers, but almost all of us are tall, especially Suarez's 181cm and 80kg weight, which is rare among technical players. When our team is ready and every player is able to execute the tactics well, then our average height advantage can be highlighted. What we lack now is a run-in, but unfortunately time is running out, if we can run in for a while, our team will be amazingly strong. ”

Li Bin is very aware of the tactical strength of his team, so when he returned to England and gave an interview, he also reiterated his goal, "Our goal is to be in the top four, that's all." This season, Tottenham are aiming for a top-four finish. ”

There is nothing too big a problem with his words, but the media still has a lot of opinions about his attitude.

"Coach Li Bin is not domineering at all when it comes to season goals. We remember last season, he proudly won the Champions League at the beginning of the season, and at the end of the season, he really hugged the Champions League to Parma, what a hero! But this season, in the face of Tottenham's goal, he didn't dare to say that he was trying to compete for the title, obviously he had lost to him many times in the Premier League semi-finals, and he didn't dare to say that his goal was to win the championship. ”

"I think the biggest reason is because Li Bin has no confidence in Tottenham's strength. Because he has no confidence in his team and is afraid that his team will not be able to compete with Manchester City and Arsenal after the worst, Li Bin chose to do things in a low-key manner when he was interviewed, and he did not dare to be too public. He was afraid of being dragged down by Tottenham's poor performances and his reputation insulted, which is why he kept a low profile. This kind of performance is understandable: we can see that Tottenham did not play very well in several games in the summer, they were unable to win against Leeds United, and against Borussia Dortmund, they also conceded two goals and barely managed to get a score of 3-2-3-2! In the face of the fourteenth Bundesliga to play like this, you must know that there are only eighteen teams in the Bundesliga, the fourteenth is the relegation team, and the Bundesliga relegation team has conceded two goals, such a team, how can it compete for the top four in the Premier League? The current Tottenham Hotspur does not have the strength to compete for the top four at all! ”

"These media are really good, Dortmund can be called a relegation team by them - but we really can't refute that, Dortmund played really badly last season, fourteenth, ah......"

In this regard, when Li Bin saw the news, he only smiled bitterly twice. However, Levy has a different view on this, "No, I think the news always has to be watched in combination - this is England's news yesterday, look at the news from Germany today, the German Super Cup, just ended, Dortmund 2-0 Bayern Munich, we won against a championship team!" There is absolutely nothing wrong with how we position ourselves! ”
