On the 4th of January, this year's FA Cup also kicked off.

In fact, if you want to say that the FA Cup kicked off, it was already the first half of the season. It's just that the FA Cup in England is preceded by three rounds of play-offs, and then the first and second rounds, which are all games that Premier League teams don't have to think about. Premier League teams directly began to play in the third round of the FA Cup, which has always been the habit of the FA Cup, and for strong teams, it is also a lot of light.

And Tottenham's luck is surprisingly good. They will face opponents in the third round of the FA Cup against Forest Rangers in England's fifth tier.

Most of the fifth-tier teams are semi-professional teams, and most of the players in this level are young people who have been eliminated from some big teams, or players from low-division teams who have changed careers and played while getting old. It is difficult for a team of this level to have particularly strong strength, and when they meet a Premier League-level team, they have almost come to an end.

Of course, Li Bin was not careless, he still let Raul start as the main team, leading the youth team against the Forest Gran Wanderers. Although generally speaking, teams at this level will not have any particularly good qualities, but it is not certain that they will have one or two particularly good players. Ribery started playing part-time as a painter, Poolau worked as a car repairer, and Klose played as a carpenter. Although the environment is different, Li Bin finds it hard to believe that under the English youth system, a player with strong ability is enough to kill the Quartet in a low-level team, but be careful, there is always no big mistake.

Although Tottenham uses most of the youth team, Raul and Sturridge are put in the striker, O'Hara is used in the midfield, and the youth team defender Calke is used as the starter on the back line, their central axis is far stronger than the opponent, and the game is played effortlessly.

'It's no surprise that Tottenham were able to beat Forest Gran Rangers – they would be favourites if they lost. But it is surprising that Tottenham are now relying not on the individual ability of their players to win over their opponents, but on tactical possession. ”

And the most surprising thing in the game was Tottenham's tactical problems. Because most of the players are youth team players, in the eyes of many people, this is probably a game that is won by individual ability, but in the game, I saw Tottenham's tactical arrangement, and after the midfield pass, the commentator was also surprised: Tottenham also crushed the opponent in terms of tactics.

"Chelsea and Manchester City, after the arrival of new owners, both claimed to increase investment and start investing in youth training. However, after so much time, their youth training still has not achieved anything. On the contrary, Arsenal's Arsene Wenger and Tottenham's Li Bin did not say that they would invest heavily in youth training, but their youth training level has really been improved. In the same way, it seems that there is Liverpool's Benitez, and his Liverpool youth training strength has also been greatly improved, and it seems that excellent coaches are the same in many places. ”

The commentator's words are not entirely true: although Arsenal and Tottenham did not shout for investment, they did not relentless when it came to real investment. Wenger, like Li Bin, as soon as he entered the main team, immediately built a new training base, recruited new coaching staff, and gradually reorganized his team's youth training model. And Chelsea and Manchester City, can not be said to be without achievements, Chelsea and Manchester City as soon as they started, they are all wantonly introducing young players, wanting to rely on the introduction of talented players from all over the world to achieve their own youth career - the result of this is that Chelsea has become a world-famous car rental company, renting out players with good quality and quantity, so that they are helpless to look at themselves.

The reason is that they have money in their hands, and the coaches have a lot less to invest in youth training. It stands to reason that Mancini or Mourinho can't be ignorant of youth training, but England's youth training is merged into the bone marrow, and it is not a matter of one or two days to rectify it.

Li Bin is different, he is a youth coach, he attaches great importance to these things, and it is also easy to start. It's been a year and a half since he took over Tottenham, and his reshuffle has paid off.

The improvement of Tottenham's passing ability comes from a change: after the age of 12, a lot of training in English football is simply playing on the field, 11 against 11. Playing like this doesn't do any good for the players' sense of space, and it also limits the passing ability of the English players. But after Li Bin arrived, he changed this training method and replaced the passing training with small games, which improved the players' ability to cooperate a lot.

Training in football can change a lot of things, especially in the youth team, and a little change in the way young players train can make them improve very quickly. It's just that this kind of change can't be rushed, it took Tottenham a year and a half to make the players' passes a little more shapely, and under the leadership of top players, they can play good balls, Li Bin believes that this job, Chelsea's coaches who leave every year, will definitely not do it.

However, the effect is very good, Tottenham's youth team players are not bad in the first place, after a year of training, with a good central axis, it is not difficult to win easily against a team in the fifth tier, and get a technical knockout.

And after winning them, Tottenham also prepared for the game against Hull City.

Without Yaya Toure in the midfield, Li Bin simply let Hoddlestone fill in. Originally, the substitute he prepared for Yaya Toure was Kevin Boateng, but Kevin Boateng also went to the national team to report, which made Li Bin helpless - these two brothers, the elder brother joined the Ghana team, and the younger brother joined the German team, and I don't know what they think.

With Hoddlestone, Tottenham's tactics have changed a bit. Hoddlestone's ability to insert is not particularly strong, but his long passing skills are excellent, so Tottenham's tactics are also relatively tight, and then, through the defensive counterattack play, to attack and defend with the opponent.

With Tottenham's strength, playing Hull City and counterattacking with defense is indeed not something to be proud of. However, considering the tight schedule of double-front operations at this stage, Li Bin's choice has played a big role. The contraction of the players makes Tottenham not have much loss in terms of physical strength, not only that, because of Hoddlestone and Bale, as well as Cavani who can grab points in the penalty area, Tottenham's counterattack is quite sharp.

Shortly after the start of the game, Hoddlestone relied on a long ball and kicked the ball straight to the left wing. Bale's frantic insertion made the opponent defenseless, and before the penalty area, Bale had already passed all the opponent's defenders and formed a single knife. After getting a single chance, Bale did not come by himself, but passed the ball to Suarez who came in, helping Suarez score the first goal, and also let Tottenham's top scorer start to try to catch up with Drogba in the scorer list.

And immediately after the first goal, Suarez also returned the favor. In another counter-attack by Tottenham, Suarez, who was in the middle, sent the ball into the penalty area with a straight shot, and Bale on the left flank successfully flanked it, and successfully hit the near corner from a tight angle to score the second goal.

In the final stages, Sturridge, who was substituted, also scored with the help of striker Heskey, who was also substituted. As a speedy player, he doesn't have many chances, but being able to take advantage of them and score goals is enough to keep his name remembered for a while.

"Tottenham's counter-attacking tactics are playing very well, in such a short period of time, the hastily established tactics have been very good, maybe they should consider using more defensive counter-attacks to beat the enemy in the future."

Li Bin did not speak to the media's comments: he knew very well that the media just looked at this style of play, and Hoddlestone, Bale, Sturridge and even Heskey were able to play like this, so they thought it was the best way to play. This kind of talk from the English media is really not a level of words.

Tottenham did not play an FA Cup match after the match against Hull City because of the make-up game, and after that, against West Ham United, Tottenham won again. Their opponents were not particularly strong and Tottenham continued to use counter-attacking tactics. Although West Ham United learned the lesson of Hull City, did not press immediately, but wanted to get a point against Tottenham, but Tottenham did not give them a chance, Bale scored a free kick, allowing Tottenham to successfully score, although 1-0 is not a good score, but it is finally 3 points.

At the same time, what makes Li Bin happiest is that in this round, Chelsea, which leads the league, has finally fallen.

Nowadays, the media is overwhelmed with all kinds of propaganda. Terry was described by the media as a heinous villain, and even made up all sorts of jokes to ridicule Terry. Ancelotti wanted to protect Terry and prevent Terry from playing, but the media immediately said that Chelsea lost because the players remembered to go home and were afraid that Terry would visit their home, and Ashley Cole, who was in the process of divorce, became a figure on the cusp, because he was once a traitor to Arsenal, his reputation was not very good, and he had a famous wife, which became the focus of ridicule. With Didier Drogba and Essien absent and media scandals out of shape leaving Ashley Cole and John Terry out of form, Chelsea finally had problems and began to struggle with them. Even so, the media did not give up and continued to ridicule them, and now the media still insist on doing an in-depth investigation, wanting to check the private lives of every Chelsea player.

No player can still maintain his form when his family life is ridiculed like this, and the media is still viciously watching, Chelsea are invincible in the league, but against the Sun, they are no opponent.

Their defeat put Tottenham back in top of the league table. A one-point lead is not much, but it is also the beginning of change. And the media's concern for them now has made Chelsea even more anxious, and the confrontation with Tottenham has also become difficult.

At this time, in the face of the increasingly popular friend's wife, some people began to ask Li Bin's opinion, and Li Bin also directly expressed his opinion, "I don't understand what the English media think about these things before the World Cup." Terry, no matter how much he was wrong, shouldn't be blamed now. I don't understand what the media is thinking, but no matter what, I hope Terry knows that if he can stick with it now, Chelsea can play well! ”

Li Bin's words caused an uproar in the media: He supports Terry? He's not at ease, is he?
