Section 473 Pay the bill before you eat
The match with Chelsea ended in a 0-0 draw, halting Tottenham's winning streak. That wasn't the worst part, though, as Tottenham suffered their first defeat on 23 September. In this League Cup game, Tottenham's opponent was Queens Park Rangers, who were still playing in the Championship, because the opponent was a weak team, Li Bin did not use too many main players, and even, in the back line, he also let the youth team's Caulke play football. Because the game was a little too relaxed, they also lost the game, and what made Li Bin especially helpless was that it was Tottenham themselves who killed Tottenham who was loaned to Queens Park Rangers Tarabut.
Now playing in the heart of Queens Park Rangers, he has a very good role here, because he has enough tactical position, he has played his role to the fullest, making Queens Park Rangers the favorite to be promoted, and he has even been selected for the Moroccan national team, known as Moroccan Cristiano Ronaldo - in the game, his long-range shot caused Tottenham to concede a goal, and then Queens Park Rangers tried to defend it, so that Tottenham eventually lost.
survived three major tournaments in a row, defeated Manchester United by obscenity, beat Milan away, and then shook hands with Chelsea - but the most awkward was planted in the hands of Moroccan Ronaldo who was loaned out of Lu, such luck made Li Bin cry and laugh.
'I don't have anything to say, Tarabut played really well and he surprised me a little. Withdraw? No, it's too early and I'm still leaning towards him playing more at QPR. What would you like to add to the defeat? Yes, I'll remind Danny in the future to remember to add an avoidance clause when taking out players. ”
In his post-match interview, Li Bin faced the question of whether to recycle Tarabut the most. However, Li Bin still denied this: there is nothing wrong with Tarabut's skills, but his personality is too lonely, and he plays well as a core, but when he returns to Tottenham, Tottenham can't give him a core position, so he will definitely not be able to play well, so Li Bin still hasn't taken back his thoughts.
Anyway, now Li Bin has enough good players in his hands, even if someone needs to kick him off the bench, he also has Kevin Boateng in his hands, what is the need, he has to take back Tarabut? In the eyes of others, Tarabut may be the top of the Championship if he plays well, but in the eyes of Li Bin, he doesn't think he needs it in particular.
But it's okay, when he plays well, maybe he can sell it for a good price in the summer......
Putting this matter aside and returning to the team, Li Bin felt that it was necessary for him to say more about this game.
"We lost in the third round, which was a bit early. Although I have long said that I don't care about the League Cup, I don't deserve to lose now. After the game, when communicating with the players, Li Bin also expressed his opinion, "If you lose the League Cup, you lose, I don't value it, it's just a meaningless trophy." What I value more is the problem you exposed: it seems that everyone is not very suitable for the current rotation? ”
"Head, we rarely played double lines before, even if we played double lines, one main lineup was enough to last all the games, and playing three lines at the same time like this, four games in ten days, is a bit much. We'll try to get used to it, don't worry. ”
Ledley King, who started this game, was also a little embarrassed by this. Tottenham have been rotating a bit a bit a lot these days, and as players who have never played much in rotation, many people at Tottenham are not very comfortable with this. A team that has never played on multiple fronts is prone to this kind of problem: because of playing four games in ten days, Li Bin will definitely let some players rest, and they may feel that they are not tired, so why should they rest? As a result, they are not satisfied with the rotation, and when they play again, it is difficult to maintain their passion. Although they all knew that Li Bin did this to let them have a better state to enter the game, none of them refused to admit that they were in a problem with their form, so it was inevitable that they would not perform well during the game.
Li Bin knows all these things: he knows that this is the inevitable stage that a team will go through when it slowly changes from weak to strong. Adapting to playing on two fronts, adapting to rotations, adapting to proper rest and playing, that's what players have to learn. If you can't learn this, the team can only be in the nest, and only when you learn it, the team can go further.
However, this process also needs to be accumulated slowly.
The immaturity of the present is to pay the bill for the multi-front operations in the future. If you have to fight to the death now, when the Champions League and the league are intersecting in the future, Tottenham will only be difficult to cope with the pressure at that time. In Li Bin's memory, Manchester City has been planted more than once in the Champions League group stage, and the reason is not because they are not mature enough? If you refuse to pay this account, it will definitely not work, but as long as you pay the bill now, in the future, you will naturally have a time to eat back.
"I know you guys might feel a little uncomfortable playing like this right now. You have to adapt, though. Li Bin said to the players, "We are playing in the Champions League now, the highest level of competition. Playing in the Champions League, you don't know what rotation is, that is, you are looking for death. Do you remember the 05-06 Liverpool and Chelsea game? Three games a week, Liverpool know very well what rotation is, so they were beaten like a dog by Chelsea in the league, but when they returned to the Champions League, they beat Chelsea. Chelsea were heroes, and they had to play the third line with the main team of the first team, and the result was all kinds of defeats. With the running demands of modern football, it is impossible to play three fronts with one main force, and you have to learn to accept that. ”
"It doesn't make much sense to learn or not now, does it? The League Cup is over. Suarez muttered.
"I don't bother to care about the League Cup, I'm talking mainly about the league and the Champions League. Guys, we're going to go hand in hand with the Champions League and the league for the second half of the season. I hope everyone remembers that that's what we're working towards! “——
The early elimination of the Carabao Cup did not put too much blame on Tottenham. With the league still at the top of the table, a Carabao Cup defeat is really nothing. Moreover, after this game, Tottenham's state has also adjusted a lot, and, because the league has passed Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool three strong teams, they can also be said to have a smooth road in the next game, compared to other teams The situation is much better, so it is also the most optimistic one.
Tottenham did not disappoint, and after the sixth round, they were once again given a big win against Burnley in the seventh round. Suarez, who had little to offer against Manchester United and Chelsea, and who didn't get a chance to play against Milan, was clearly in form and held his back to turn Burnley's backline upside down. It didn't take long for him to break the deadlock with a forced kick from a break down the middle, and the ball bounced off the post and rolled to the bottom of the net, giving Tottenham the advantage from the start.
Then, he got better and better, and before half-time, Suarez had another good chance to set up Edinson Cavani's second goal, and just before half-time, Tottenham took advantage of a corner kick to score a third goal from the edge of Yaya Toure.
With three goals in the half, Tottenham played well, but they were not satisfied. As soon as the second half came, they pressed with all their might and tried to blast the back of the net again. Such efforts were not in vain, and soon, in the attack of Tottenham, Suarez was dragged to the ground, which allowed them to win a penalty, which Suarez himself took and hit. The score became 4-0.Later, although the back line was not safe enough because of excessive pressure, and a goal was conceded, Tottenham Hotspur, who was leading by a large score, decided to replace the defense with an attack, Li Bin made a substitution, using Husky to replace Cavani, this substitution, so that Hesky in the final stage of the game, with a header to fight for the top, once again broke the opponent's goal.
In a 5-1 game, Tottenham once again won by a big score. In the game, even Huskey broke the opponent's goal, which made the Tottenham players quite happy.
Of course, not everyone is happy – at least, Li Bin thinks Suarez is playing a bit like venting his anger. And when he found Suarez after the game, he directly expressed some of his thoughts.
'I feel like I'm down in the team now.' Speaking of this problem, Suarez also complained a little, "I am not the main starter in the Champions League, and I am not the starter in the Community Shield, what kind of core am I?" ”
"You feel like Raul is squeezing out your place." Li Bin asked the question first.
"It's not about Raul, I think it's your arrangement."
It's not that the players are contradictory, Li Bin nodded. He also knew that Suarez would definitely be dissatisfied with appearing more on the bench this season. It's nice that he can say it directly.
"I understand your thoughts, but you also have to think about it for us. In the first Champions League, we had to win because there are a lot of young people in the team and they don't have everyone who can get as brave as you do. They have to take the first chance so they can build confidence. ”
"Am I not able to build up faith in them?"
"You have to admit that your experience is not as good as Raul's, and skill is no substitute for experience." Li Bin asked rhetorically, seeing that Suarez was silent, he opened his mouth and continued, "Raul came to us just to provide us with experience, playing a team like Milan in the group stage, he doesn't play, who should play?" That's where he plays, using his experience to show the players how to play best. You have to understand, he brought the players to a good place, who is he serving? You! You're their client! If they play well, you can play better, I said that you are the core, you have my guarantee, what are you afraid of? Now, what they need is sharpening, it's training, the whole group stage, the whole first half of the season, it's all about sharpening them, what's the point of you fighting Raul now? Your stage is in the second half of the season! Conserve your strength and train hard, how old are you and how old is he? Who has a future? You're our player, he's on loan, can I not know what to do? Who are our own people, I can't tell? The future of this team is yours, and in the second half of the season, it's time for you to shine! ”
