Alex Ferguson's Manchester United are always good at pushing after Christmas, something that is well known to anyone familiar with the Premier League.

Manchester United and Arsenal are two completely different teams, with the Gunners often starting off impressively but slumping sharply after the winter break, while Manchester United, regardless of the start, has always been admired for their performance after the winter break.

It seems that now, after Christmas, although Manchester United lost to Fulham before the holiday, they soon beat Hull City away in two rounds of Premier League matches in the three days after Christmas, and beat Wigan Athletic at home 0, winning two consecutive victories and winning the opponent smoothly.

Although Carlo Ancelotti is a newcomer, his performance in the two rounds after Christmas is not bad, with one win and one draw, and four points, but his position in the Premier League table has been pulled down by Manchester United, and the Red Devils have successfully caught up with Chelsea and climbed to second place in the league table.

Tottenham Hotspur's schedule for the last two rounds of Christmas is also one win and one draw, and on the 26th, they drew away from the same city team Fulham, which is also related to Tottenham Hotspur's long journey in the past, back and forth, plus the Christmas carnival, more or less related, and Ye Qiu also knows very well that the first game after Christmas is a very troublesome thing.

00 draw with Fulham, but soon, Tottenham Hotspur beat Claudio Ranieri's West Ham United 0 at home to maintain their position at the top of the league, and not only that, but the FA Cup was immediately ushered in as soon as they entered January, and Tottenham Hotspur faced Peterborough United from the Championship.

In the case of multi-front operations, the cup insists on using substitutes and young players, which is a strategy that Ye Qiu has drawn up early on, so in this FA Cup, Tottenham Hotspur is still dominated by young players, plus substitute players, and went to the away team to challenge the vice-captain at the bottom of the Championship league.

As a result, on the road, Tottenham Hotspur beat Peterborough United 40 and successfully advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup.

The third round of the FA Cup is played on January 2, that is, on Saturday, and there is no game in midweek, and the weekend is the 21st round of the Premier League, so Tottenham Hotspur is scheduled to make up the 17th round of the Premier League in midweek, Tottenham Hotspur defeated the newly changed Manchester City team 0 at White Hart Lane with goals from Falcao and Cesc Fabregas.

I don't know if Lu Dao was affected by Ye Qiu's previous words in Abu Dhabi, Manchester City finally made up their minds to kill Mark Hughes, sacked the England coach, and invited Mancini just like Ye Qiu in his previous life.

Back and forth, many things still can't get rid of the influence of Ye Qiu's previous life, but this is not about reincarnation or anything like that, but because there are indeed not many famous coaches in the current football world who can accept Manchester City's invitation, and Mancini is the coach who is most in line with Manchester City's current requirements, and more importantly, he is now at home.

This year's famous coaches are a scarce commodity, especially those real first-line coaches, such as Ye Qiu, Mourinho, Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Benitez, Ancelotti, if you count those old coaches, such as Lippi, Capello, Heathfield, etc., in fact, they basically will not move.

That is to say, even if Manchester City has money now, it can't dig these gods, so Manchester City can only retreat to find some small gods, and look at it horizontally and vertically, Mancini, who performed well in Lazio and helped Inter Milan win the Serie A championship in a row, is undoubtedly a more suitable candidate, and he is barely a European coach.

Looking at this season's European football, among all the teams that have changed coaches, there are actually two that can attract Ye Qiu's attention, one is Chelsea's Ancelotti, and the other is Real Madrid's Pellegrini, as for Mancini who came to Manchester City halfway, Ye Qiu feels that the Italian coach's ability is very good, but it is difficult to create surprises.

It's not that Mancini doesn't have enough ability and no tactical literacy, on the contrary, Mancini's coaching ability is definitely there, and the Italian coach has never had a problem in terms of tactical literacy, the key is Mancini's temper and his control of the dressing room, these are all problems, and Mancini's use of troops is rarely surprising.

That's what a lot of Italian managers are like.

Why does Ye Qiu pay more attention to Ancelotti?

A very important reason is that Ancelotti is another coach who attaches great importance to skill and creativity after Ye Qiu, and Ye Qiu is looking forward to what Ancelotti can do when the Chelsea squad has always maintained the framework that Ye Qiu created back then.

However, Ancelotti still has adaptation problems over the course of the season, particularly in the Premier League, but it has galvanized Chelsea's attacking prowess, with the Blues now outnumbering Manchester United and second only to Tottenham Hotspur.

And Pellegrini is another type of manager, he can often surprise you, but once you start to expect high hopes for him because of surprises, he may let you down, the reason is very simple, Ye Qiu has always felt that Pellegrini has problems with player control.

Many people say that Ye Qiu is very good at regulating the state of the players, the team has fewer injuries and attrition in key games, the players are generally in good condition, and the team can play at a reasonable level, which means that the head coach has good control, and this requires the head coach to control the team from all aspects and fields, and form a reasonable and effective cooperation mechanism with the players and coaching staff.

In the 0910 season of Ye Qiu's previous life, Pellegrini coached Real Madrid, it was definitely a successful season, and even Ye Qiu has always believed that if it were not for Florentino to put pressure on Pellegrini, if the Chilean engineer could get a more relaxed coaching environment and a longer period of trust, Real Madrid would not need Mourinho at all.

Why do you say that?

One of the strongest evidence of this is that when Manuel Pellegrini was in charge of Real Madrid, they lost twice to Barcelona in the league, but after the league ended, the gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona in the table was only three points.

Maybe you don't have the impression that two defeats to Barcelona are not just six points, because Barcelona won by six points, Real Madrid lost six points, and the difference between two and two points was twelve, and the last one lost three points, which means that in addition to the two derbies of the century, Real Madrid performed much better than Barcelona.

Of course, losing the derby of the century, the humiliating loss of the Copa del Rey, and the successive stops in the last 16 of the Champions League all reflect Pellegrini's flaws and shortcomings, that is, the key games, his ability to adjust the team's state and activate the fighting spirit of the players is not enough.

But none of this can hide Pellegrini's amazing first season in charge of Real Madrid, because he is new to the city, and he has no proud resume, coupled with many internal problems and contradictions in Real Madrid, so these flaws and shortcomings can be forgiven, giving him more time to make up for them.

Sadly, Pellegrini's path to Real Madrid came to an abrupt end after one season.

It is not difficult to find an interesting problem from these examples, which is that a change of manager often represents labor pains and regrouping, and can even lead to turmoil in the team.

Ye Qiu has always had a clear plan for his career, he has ideals and pursuits, but he also has a career and a family, so he knows very well that he cannot stay in the position of Tottenham Hotspur manager until Ferguson's age, and what he wants to do most now is to build all aspects of Tottenham Hotspur, whether it is the distribution of management power of the team, or the entire tactical offensive and defensive system of the team, he must build this foundation.

And he has been cultivating a future successor, that is, Mauro Tassoti

Ye Qiu has now gradually handed over the training to Mauro Tassoti to take full responsibility, he just tells Mauro Tassoti what he wants, and then lets Mauro Tassotti play and adjust, he is in this way to establish Mauro Tassotti's authority, and then examine Mauro Tassotti's abilities in all aspects.

For example, how well does he manage his relationship with the players in the team? How well does he work with the rest of the coaching staff? When he's facing some key games or when the team has an emergency, how can he be resilient and handle?

This will not be a short period of time, even if Mauro Tasotti is about to turn fifty years old, but just like his predecessor Capello, what he is doing now is an accumulation, and the purpose of accumulation is to be in the future, after taking charge alone, he can quickly take over the scepter in Ye Qiu's hands and become the head coach of Tottenham Hotspur.

In Ye Qiu's positioning, the head coach of the team is like the soul of a team, like the CEO of a multinational company, who must be carefully selected, after multiple assessments, and have incomparable experience, but more importantly, he must understand and be able to successfully control the team.

After beating Manchester City 0, Tottenham Hotspur soon ushered in the 21st round of the Premier League, and the team challenged Liverpool away, but this time, Tottenham Hotspur and Benitez's side drew and failed to beat their opponents, but interestingly, Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea all drew and Manchester City beat Blackburn Rovers 4l.

In midweek, the Carabao Cup semi-finals were ushered in, and Tottenham Hotspur continued to play with a young squad, away to Roberto Mancini's Manchester City, only to beat the visiting Tottenham Hotspur on their home turf with two goals from Bam Adebayor.

Despite failing to beat their opponents away from home, Tottenham Hotspur's youngsters were still impressive.

Tottenham Hotspur were the standout performers throughout the first half, not only keeping City at bay in defence, but also threatening in attack, with Hazzard opening the scoring for Tottenham Hotspur in the 27th minute.

But the situation turned around towards the end of the first half, when Nastasis and Varane made a fatal mistake in defending Adebayor, Wright Phillips broke through Coentrão on the right and crossed, Adebayo beat Nastasic for the top and fed Bellamy, who was leaked and pushed Bellamy.

Although the referee did not give a red card, only a yellow card to Varane, he did give Manchester City a penalty, and Adebayor himself converted the penalty to open the scoring for Manchester City.

This goal was a painful blow to the morale of Tottenham Hotspur's group of young players, even if Ye Qiu kept encouraging the players at halftime, but in the second half, Tottenham Hotspur's group of young players still performed very poorly, and Mancini took the opportunity to encourage the team to press hard.

In the end, Manchester City scored another goal in the 75th minute, Bam Adebayor scored again to help Manchester City complete the comeback

At the press conference after the game, Ye Qiu spoke highly of the performance of the young players, believing that all teams will not feel easy when playing Manchester City away, because Manchester City is already a very strong team in the Premier League, this team has very good stars, and the overall strength is also quite good.

'I'm happy with the performance, especially with the young players, I can feel the progress very clearly, it's a shame to lose, but I want to say it's only the first leg, we have the second leg and I won't change the squad in the second leg because I believe that this group of young people can be trusted and we will knock Manchester City out of the Carabao Cup at White Hart Lane, I have no doubt about that'

Ye Qiu's words immediately caused an uproar among all reporters, announcing the starting lineup a week in advance, and he didn't plan to change the team's lineup, and continued to play with this young lineup. Or do I really believe that this group of young players can do miracles.

To know that Manchester City's lineup is a famous European star in any one of them, and Tottenham Hotspur's starting lineup, the biggest player is Beckham, but everyone knows that Beckham is old, and whether it is Pogba, Phil Jones, Ramsey, Hazzard, Nastasic or Varane, they are obviously just potential young players.

On the second day of the League Cup, when all reporters and media interpreted Ye Qiu's words, they all agreed that Ye Qiu had decided to use this League Cup to bet on the future of young players, and he insisted that he wanted to use this key battle to motivate young players and help them accumulate more experience in the game

"At the end of the day, for Tottenham Hotspur, the League Cup and FA Cup have always been just training grounds"

After the first leg of the Carabao Cup and returning to London from Manchester, Tottenham Hotspur welcomed Hull City at White Hart Lane with a full squad.

To everyone's surprise, Tottenham Hotspur were overwhelmed by the outset at White Hart Lane, opening the scoring for Tottenham Hotspur after just eight minutes, followed by Franck Ribery, Marcelo and David Silva to establish an early four-goal lead in the first half.

In the second half, Tottenham Hotspur's attack continued unabated, David Silva scored a brace again, and then Falcao and Cesc Fabregas also scored, and Tottenham Hotspur beat Hull City 0 at home.

The hapless Hull City have suffered Tottenham Hotspur twice in a row this season, and both games ended in heavy defeats, which also made Steve Bruce, the former Birmingham head coach who took office in the middle of the season, known as Ferguson's proud protégé, feel extremely frustrated, and said in the post-match press conference that the team has tried its best to snipe Tottenham Hotspur, but has never been able to threaten the home team, and he is powerless to do anything about it

Ye Qiu even smiled and mentioned that back then, when Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United were competing for the league title, it was Steve Bruce and his Birmingham who sniped Tottenham Hotspur at a critical moment and helped Manchester United, and before this game, Steve Bruce also wanted to repeat the old tune, but Tottenham Hotspur obviously would not give him such a chance.

"We are no longer the Tottenham Hotspur team we used to be," Ye Qiu said with a proud smile full of confidence.

Tottenham Hotspur beat Hull City, Chelsea and Manchester United also beat their opponents successively, followed by these two teams still refuse to relax, especially Manchester United, after Christmas, the performance of the Red Devils has also improved a lot, especially the team's overall offensive and defensive system, which looks much more orderly, and the four league games after Christmas are three wins and one draw to remain unbeaten.

And after Christmas, Ferguson insisted on starting with Las Diarra for four consecutive games, and the French defender's performance has also improved considerably from the beginning of the season, with a very solid and experienced defense, and his ability to play the ball is also excellent.

It's not just Lars Diarra who has changed, Sneijder has also returned to the main lineup, he and Carrick form a strong complement, England back to the back, and Sneijder pressed forward, the two played their own characteristics one after the other, and a midfielder with very good interception ability Lars Diarra, Manchester United's midfield has been greatly improved.

The midfield is hard, and the front trident of Tevez, Benzema and Rooney is also becoming more and more attacking, and in this game against Burnley, Manchester United's three goals were scored by these three players, and the previous 5-0 win over Wigan Athletic was also a game in which the trident performed well.

All the signs are very clear that after half a year of running-in and adjustment, this Manchester United team has finally reloaded, and at any time, as long as Ferguson adjusts the team, the Red Devils Manchester United will be the strongest contenders for the Premier League title.

Ye Qiu can never forget that when Manchester United and Chelsea competed for the championship, Ferguson continued to win, and finally chased the most difficult feat, although the last round of Tottenham Hotspur lost Chelsea and gave Manchester United a league championship, but the Red Devils were in close pursuit before this, and the momentum of catching up with the winning streak made Ye Qiu very impressed.

In any case, Ye Qiu does not want Tottenham Hotspur to become the Chelsea of the year
