Volume 1 Chapter 377 The Weak Team Goes Out

Don't look at the White Hart Lane stadium from the outside, the stands are not very good, and the facilities are not perfect, but the home team's locker room is very high-grade, and it can even be said that it is not lost to the home locker room of any team

Well, the visiting dressing room is miserable, so shabby that you can barely find the slightest superfluous gadget.

This is also the practice of all teams, the home team's dressing room is always the best, the away team's dressing room, who cares?

The walls of the home team's locker room at White Hart Lane are all covered with wooden panels, with an integrated ceiling on top of it, and when you come in from the door, you will see the tactical board and formation board, and in the middle of the two boards is a large TV, next to which there is a multimedia control area, which is used by the head coach to explain the tactics of the players in the locker room.

The dressing room is decorated in a monolithic layout, all of which are made of wooden panels, and the wardrobes and lockers are also recessed, with a white tile sealed in the middle of the two adjacent wardrobes, reaching up to the ceiling, to show the difference, and above each wardrobe there is a stainless steel pendant similar to the bathroom for towels and clothes.

Long before the players enter the locker room, their jerseys and pants are hung in front of the wardrobe where they are, and when the players come in, they either rest or go to the back to wipe off their sweat, and then sit in front of their wardrobes, and many of them are even naked.

The locker room is sacred, and no one can come in or out casually, so it's not uncommon to go bare-ass in the locker room.

Ye Qiu followed the players into the locker room and looked at the circular wall clock hanging on the wall, which showed the time.

"How to fight, I believe everyone knows in their hearts, I don't need to say more, I'll emphasize one point now"

After Ye Qiu walked in, he casually put the notepad in his hand under the tactical board, and sat in front of the TV facing the players, he looked solemn, "I have to tell everyone, this will be a very difficult game, because we are facing the strongest team in the Premier League now"

'Chelsea are a team with a lot of experience, they are very mature and stable, there are no big weaknesses or flaws, but that doesn't mean they are invincible, we just have to play our rhythm and we have every chance of beating them, but if we let them lead us to our rhythm then we don't have the slightest chance of winning'

Ye Qiu's words were very loud in the silent locker room, all the players sat in front of their jerseys, raised their heads, and listened quietly, and even many people followed Ye Qiu's words silently, obviously to remember, and to remember.

'Chelsea like to play counter-attacking and against a team like that, we have to be patient, we can't rush it, it's easy to make mistakes, and their counter-attacks are only launched when you make mistakes, so we have to be mentally and focused at all times, but we can't be angered by them, we can't be influenced by them

Ye Qiu kept emphasizing one point, that is, he couldn't lose his patience and couldn't get angry.

Young players are a group that is difficult to control, once they play smoothly and go crazy, then they can play any score, they can accompany you to attack for 90 minutes, and do everything to break the opponent's goal, but once they lose patience and lose their minds, the result will make you very devastated.

And Ye Qiu has a hunch, especially today, he noticed that many players in the team are more excited, especially when talking about what Mourinho said before the game, they all said that they want to teach the Portuguese some lessons丨 In terms of fighting spirit, this is a good thing, but if it is not grasped well, it may be a bad thing.

Didn't Mourinho say that one of the purposes of making you angry, making you angry?

"Guys, all look at me, come, all look at me"

Ye Qiu walked to the middle of the locker room and waved to the players, this game Van Nistelrooy did not play, he played two full games in the Dutch national team, Ye Qiu let him rest, so this game Ye Qiu played Van Persie.

When all the players focused their attention on themselves, Ye Qiu looked at them and said word by word: "They will do everything possible to stimulate and provoke you in the game, but you must not be fooled, play according to the arrangement we arranged before the game, play our things, play our style, don't worry, take your time, understand?" ”

"Understood," the players nodded in agreement.

"It's good, don't panic when you encounter anything, look to the sidelines, I'll just stand there"

Tottenham Hotspur started the game with goalkeeper Peter Cech, Arbeloa, Hangrande, Thiago Silva and Alves at the back, Davies, Mascherano and Cesc Fabregas in midfield, and Ribery, Van Persie and Messi in front.

Chelsea's starting lineup is still 44 positions, the goalkeeper is Cudicini, the backline is Ashley Cole, Carvalho, Terry and Ferreira, and the midfield is a very strange style of play, Makelele is dragging behind, Ballack and Deco are in the middle, Lampard is in the front, but the position is not fixed, Deco is basically responsible for organizing and combing, Ballack is also frequently forward, and the double forwards are Shevchenko and Drogba.

"There is no serious side lane, how are they going to fight?" Mauro Tasotti stood beside Ye Qiu, and when he saw Chelsea putting on such a midfielder, his brows were tightly locked, and now anyone who touches Chelsea feels that it is difficult to do.

"It's very simple, keep the middle, and you can attack on the side," Ye Qiu smiled, but asked Roland to tell Messi that more Ashley Cole would be involved in England's left-back lineup.

At the same time, he also told the team not to rush to press, and watching Chelsea's formation clearly wave at Tottenham Hotspur, as if telling the Tottenham players, come on, come on, attack me

But at this time, whoever attacks it will die

That's why Ye Qiu said before the game that this game must maintain enough patience, it will be a contest of patience and will

"Typical Mourinho style, never take risks and make mistakes in important games" Ye Qiu snorted.

With a whistle from referee Webber, Chelsea were the first to get the kick-off, and the ball was quickly passed back to the back line, and Carvalho saw an opportunity to play a long ball directly to the front to find Drogba.

Hangrande's player does have the defect of turning slowly and not being flexible enough, but his advantages are also very obvious, that is, he has strong frontal defensive ability, excellent positional sense and physical confrontation ability, and belongs to the air dominance type of central defender, so it is not too difficult to deal with Drogba in a fixed area, and he is firmly stuck in the position and clears the header.

The ball fell to the feet of Davies, Davies passed to Cesc Fabregas, who scored on the right side, Messi got the ball on the right side, and was about to move forward, Ballack rushed out of the diagonal stab and poked the ball directly out of bounds, throw-in

Alves threw a throw-in, but not to Cesc Fabregas, but to Messi, and then the Argentine knocked back, and Alves quickly drove forward with the ball on the right sideline, but Ashley Cole was very quick to chase back.

With a quick stop, Alves pulled out a gap, rubbed a half-high curling ball with his right foot, and went directly to the left of the goal, and Ribery quickly cut diagonally into the box from the right side, obviously trying to grab this point, but Terry was more stable, blocking Ribery with his body until Cudicini came out to get the ball

The Frenchman ran in vain, shook his head in disappointment and sighed, if his sprint speed can be a little faster and not disturbed by Terry, as long as the ball reaches his feet, at least he can create a threat, not to mention whether the opponent dares to foul or not, with his personal ability to face Terry, the chance to get up is still very big.

Tottenham Hotspur launched an attack that did not work, but instead of adopting the past high defensive and pressing tactics in the front, but when Chelsea were preparing to attack, the whole slowly retreated, obviously to let Chelsea attack.

This made Ye Qiu nod his head from the sidelines, playing Chelsea is to play like this, you can't be in a hurry, and slowly look for opportunities

Tottenham Hotspur fans at White Hart Lane are worried about this game, even if they never doubt Ye Qiu's ability, but Tottenham Hotspur's form has indeed been bad in recent times, and Chelsea is the strongest team in the Premier League in the past few years, which is invisibly putting pressure on players and fans

But they are still cheering for the team very hard in the stands, because if you really love a team, you don't care whether the team wins or loses, wins or loses, whether it is a trough or a peak, love is love, and it will not change because of these.

Those who shout out support when they see the team playing beautifully, seeing the team's good results, and seeing the team buy superstars, that's not love

"Neither of these teams seems to have the desire to attack aggressively today, whether it is Chelsea, who have an absolute advantage in strength, or Tottenham Hotspur, who have played attacking football this season, there is clearly no desire to attack," Sky TV commentator Andy Gray said it was not a good game to watch.

"But it's no wonder that Tottenham Hotspur has been in poor form recently, although Ye Qiu's team has had a 5:0 victory, but that is slaughtering promoted horses, so far this season has played three games, one win and two losses, such a result is indeed a disappointment for everyone at Tottenham Hotspur, including Ye Qiu"

'In this case, if we lose against Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur's morale will undoubtedly drop to the bottom, and there is even a good chance that the team will go into the relegation zone, as others have said

"As for Chelsea's approach, the reason why Mourinho's team was able to win the title last season without danger is because of stability, he will hardly take too risky game strategies, so before the game, before Ye Qiu's tactical ideas, he will not act rashly."

As he spoke, Ballack got a chance to get the ball on the left side of the midfield and plugged it straight through the middle of Thiago Silva and Hangrande, the two central defenders were pulling by Drogba, causing the distance to be a bit too big, just as Ballack's through ball passed between them, and Shevchenko started quickly.

"It's dangerous, Tottenham Hotspur," exclaimed the on-site commentator.

All the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stadium couldn't help but stand up and let out a loud ah-

But just when everyone's heart was about to jump out of their throats, Cech suddenly abandoned the goal, grabbed before Shevchenko, and fell to the ground to save the ball, filling the hole of two teammates

'Beautiful, Petr Cech's decisive attack defused a very dangerous attack from Chelsea

At the call of the on-site commentators, the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stadium responded to Petr Cech's applause, and the Czech got up from the ground, gasping for breath, and rushed a few steps just now, but he did his best.

For the goalkeeper, the running distance may not be long, but the consumption in all aspects is not less than that of players in other positions, because the goalkeeper has to maintain a high degree of mental concentration for 90 minutes a game, and if he does not move, he must move the fastest, which is also a huge loss of physical fitness.

Ye Qiu was also shocked on the sidelines, his strength was at a disadvantage, once there was any loophole, he might be caught by the opponent, and the loophole just now was obviously a problem of insufficient echo between the two central defenders, which caused the distance between them to be widened.

Drogba, the center forward, is getting better and better, his most powerful thing is not his almost perverted body, simply speaking of physical strength, it is not impossible to be taller and stronger than Drogba in this world, but to say that the central defender, there are more people stronger than him, but what is it that you can't prevent Drogba?

Because he is very diligent, and he is always actively running and looking for opportunities in the game, which makes his biggest tactical effect is not only the fulcrum of the front, but his destruction of the opponent's defense, especially the two central defenders, is definitely the most deadly torture, because you don't know where he will run in the next second, what way to attack.

Goalkeeper coach Frans Hawke ran behind the home goal at some point and only spoke to the Czech after Cech had cleared the ball: "That save was brilliant, but you should be a little more proactive"

Cech looked ahead, but listened carefully to Frans Hawke's opinion, although he had only been in Tottenham Hotspur for a short time, but he admired some of Frans Hawke's training techniques and understanding of the goalkeeper's position, and he had also heard of Frans Hawke, Van der Sar, Valdés, Reina, and even Real Madrid's Casillas and others were deeply influenced by Frans Hawke, who is definitely a god-level figure in the field of goalkeeper coaching.

"What do you mean?" asked Cech, but his eyes were still looking ahead.

'You should have reminded Thiago Silva that after Hangrande was pulled away, and Alves, the formation should have retracted to the left, and as long as you keep it compact, you can't get the ball into the box no matter how you pass it,' said Frans Hawke, who is best at getting straight players in the middle of the game.

"I see," Peter Cech said, standing still and jumping a few times, nodding.

"Be bold and brave, he asked me to convey the attack," Frans Hawke gave a thumbs up.

Of course, Cech knew that what Frans Hawke said was referring to Ye Qiu, and he immediately smiled happily and nodded in agreement.

But less than two minutes after Frans Hawke left, Chelsea launched another attack, but this time it was clear that it wasn't on the back of the net and Lampard fired a long-range shot straight from just a quarter of the goal.

The long-range shot came so suddenly, and Cech reacted but couldn't hold on to the ball and had to tuck it over the crossbar to give Chelsea a corner.

Deco set up a corner kick and there were a lot of high points in the box, while Cech was communicating with Hangrande and Thiago Silva, and when Deco sent the ball into the box, Cech judged that the drop was in the middle, and immediately shouted: "I'll come"

Then I saw the Czechs quickly rush out of the small penalty area, jump high, clench hard with both hands, and intercept the ball directly in mid-air, this decisive attack once again won the applause of the fans.

Watching Cech rush out of the small penalty area like a god and pluck the ball from mid-air with his slender hands, Mourinho on the sidelines really didn't feel good, don't look at Cech conceded a lot of goals in Tottenham Hotspur, but that was because of Tottenham Tottenham's poor defensive performance, in terms of goalkeeper strength, Cech is improving rapidly in almost every game.

The goalkeeper has an almost perfect body, long and powerful arms, a tall but flexible body, excellent positional sense and anticipation, a cool head and a quick reflexes, all of which are essential for a top goalkeeper, and Cech is the best in all aspects and has a very high concentration of the game, which is even more rare.

may have been a little uncomfortable with Ye Qiu's high-post defense when he first arrived, but after warm-up matches and a few Premier League games, his performance is getting better and better.

Soon, Chelsea launched another attack, Drogba suddenly pulled to the left to receive Ashley Cole's breakthrough pass, after winning the ball, broke through the cross box, Shevchenko obviously did not react enough to Drogba's sudden pass, causing him to cut in quickly and then slow a little, watching the ball pass in front of him, just stretch out his foot to poke in, but he missed it in vain.

The ball fell to Arbeloa, who cleared the ball with a big foot, but Terry cut in quickly and headed it to Ballack, who blocked Cesc Fabregas with his body, turned around and fired another shot that was almost like a cannonball.

This time Cech reacted faster, stood firmly in position, faced the incoming ball, directly hugged the ball, and the whole person fell on the grass in the small penalty area, and withstood this powerful volley.

This immediately won the Czech goalkeeper a round of applause, but Andy Gray was not optimistic about the situation, believing that it was the result of Tottenham Hotspur's increasing passivity, because a goalkeeper's performance often means that the team is in a passive state.

Isn't there a saying?

The weak team goalkeeper, that's the reason
