Chapter 824: The Third Great Legend
"Wow, the ball is in!!!!"
"Messi, Messi scored Tottenham Hotspur's second goal!!"
"A very beautiful left-footed volley, the arc of the ball is so weird, goalkeeper Neuer can't even make a judgment, and the angle of the ball is also very tricky, aimed at the upper left corner, which is simply beyond the reach of Neuer who is standing on the right side to block Messi's shot!"
After Ribery saw Messi's goal, he immediately sprinted the entire penalty area, rushed out of the field with Messi, rushed to the corner of the Allianz Arena, and waved to the stands of the Tottenham Hotspur fans who were arranged by Bayern Munich in the top and corner stands.
Perhaps, Messi has lost the passion of the early years, nor the excitement of the past, but he is still the best in the world, and at the same time the most spiritual genius, this kick is impossible to score without outstanding ball sense!
"The ball is an absolute dead end, and the angle of the shot is too small, but Messi did a very good job, stopping the ball on his chest and volleying with his left foot, the whole process is done in one go, genius, this is the top talent!"
Ye Qiu stood on the sidelines, and after seeing Messi score such a beautiful goal, he also laughed and applauded, this ball is indeed quite beautiful, the angle is small and awkward, which has very high requirements for the players who hit the goal, holding down the ball is basically a good ball, but most of them are difficult to suppress, and more of them become anti-aircraft guns.
"Messi is truly an outstanding talent, even in today's football, he is second to none!" Mauro? Tasotti is also impressed by this goal, and only those who really know football, or have played it, can feel how difficult it is.
Ye Qiuwan smiled and didn't say anything, he never doubted that Messi was a genius, but he never doubted another thing, that is, Messi was in Tottenham Hotspur, which is equivalent to a genius who is gradually losing his passion for the game.
Just like the first issue of Florentino's Galaxy Battleship, will anyone deny that Zidane, Ronaldo, Figo, Raul and others are geniuses second to none? I'm afraid not, but why can't this group of geniuses get good results?
Or, why did Capello have to send Ronaldo away when he took over Real Madrid? Is it because Ronaldo is not strong enough? Or is Ronaldo not good enough? I'm afraid it's neither, but because Ronaldo has lost the passion for the game!
And then there is Ferguson, why did he have to send away Cristiano at his peak? Ronaldo?
Ye Qiu has always felt that modern football tactics are not created without geniuses like Pele and Maradona, whether it is Messi or Cristiano? Ronaldo, or like Ibrahimovic, or Riquelme back then, are geniuses like them who exist beyond the overall tactical system.
As a manager, should you make the choice of building a strategy and line-up that suits your play, based on the talent you have? Or give up on this genius and build a more holistic tactical lineup?
There is no absolute good or bad, only trade-offs!
Perhaps, choose Mauro from Ye Qiu? Tasotti takes his own class, and not even Mauro? Tasottti, replaced by Pep Guardiola, Mourinho and others, they are expected to choose to give up their talents.
Because, this is the era of holistic football tactics!

"Well done, guys, they can't!"
As soon as Ye Qiu pushed open the door of the away locker room at the Allianz Stadium, he smiled at the Tottenham Hotspur players inside.
Tottenham Hotspur ended the first half with a 2-0 lead, which also changed the aggregate score between the two sides to 3:1, and Tottenham Hotspur's two away goals were like a throat for Bayern Munich.
According to the situation of the two sides, even if Bayern Munich is tied to 2:2, they will still be eliminated by Tottenham Hotspur in the end, so unless they can score three goals in a row in the second half, but this is indeed too difficult for Bayern Munich, because Tottenham Hotspur's defense is not bad.
At the beginning of the first half, Tottenham Hotspur let Bayern Munich attack for more than ten minutes, but Bayern Munich at home failed to play a threatening attack and scoring opportunities, I believe this will also be a big blow to the players of the home team.
"We continued to play in the second half according to the first half, without the ball, they like to control, let them control, we take a compact position to play, tie up the defense, but as long as we get the ball, we use the fastest speed to launch a counterattack, launch an offensive, and then create a threat!"
What Ye Qiu said was actually arranged before the game, and the main style of play of Tottenham Hotspur in this game is basically like this, because Ye Qiu is pinching one point, that is, Bayern Munich's positional battle ability is not strong.
To say that among the several favorites in the Champions League this season, Bayern Munich's positional ability is not eye-catching, perhaps better than Dortmund and Atletico Madrid, especially Atletico Madrid, Simeone's team can definitely be said to be the worst team in the top eight, but their defense has characteristics.
Tottenham Hotspur is the strongest in positional warfare, followed by Real Madrid and Barcelona, but interestingly, Barcelona, who had an excellent positional attack, was eliminated by Atletico Madrid in the quarterfinals, which has to be said to be a very ironic thing.
Because of this, many fans and reporters began to argue about whether it was better to attack or defend.
It's a bit like arguing about whether the chicken came first or the egg came first, and it's a tangled question!
"Guys!" Ye Qiu simply arranged the tasks for the second half, in fact, there was nothing to arrange, basically said before the game, Mauro? Tasotti's tactical arrangement in this game can be said to have comprehensively suppressed Guardiola.
"If we can step on the body of Bayern Munich and reach the semi-finals, we will face Atletico Madrid, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that if nothing happens, we will reach the final, and I am confident that the team can beat Atletico Madrid!"
After listening to Ye Qiu's words, everyone was in high spirits, and everyone felt motivated, because as long as they played a few more games, they were likely to be able to have one more Champions League in their careers, which was definitely a great stimulus and encouragement for them.
"And as long as we get to the final, whether it's Real Madrid or Borussia Dortmund, we have a very high hope of winning the title, and I'm very, very confident about that!"
After hearing this, many of the players present nodded their heads.
Looking at today's European football, Tottenham Hotspur has never been afraid of any team, whether they are Real Madrid, or Barcelona, or Manchester United and Chelsea, or other difficult giants, in the eyes of Tottenham Hotspur, they are a group of losers.
Reaching the final, there is hope to win the championship, this is not only Ye Qiu is confident, all Tottenham Hotspur players are confident and willing to work hard for this!
"So, in the second half, don't give Bayern Munich any chances, you know what I mean?"
"Understood!" One by one, the players answered in unison.
…………
…………
Players from both sides were back on the pitch, with neither Bayern Munich nor Tottenham Hotspur making any substitutions.
At the beginning of the game, Bayern Munich played another round of attack, but Tottenham Hotspur still took a compact position.
Mauro? Tassotti is one of the top stars and coaches who have been immersed in Italian football for many years, and he has been very successful in tweaking Tottenham Hotspur's defensive system, with a very strong sense of integrity, the three lines are always able to maintain a tight distance, and the players are very well organized with each other, which brings out the essence of Italian defence.
However, Tottenham Hotspur's entire formation is not standing still, on the contrary, Tottenham Hotspur's overall formation is very fluid, adopting the overall movement method, whether it is offensive or defensive, all adopt the team's wave attack and defense system, and maximize the integration of attack and defense, ball possession and space.
In the face of Tottenham Hotspur's defensive position, Bayern Munich once again came back to nothing.
But the difference with the first half is that this time Tottenham Hotspur just started in the second half, in the 49th minute, they took advantage of a passing error from Bayern Munich, or Schweinsteiger advanced with the ball, was entangled by Vidal, and the pass was wrong, and Tottenham Hotspur counterattacked.
Messi is like a sharp knife, dribbling the ball straight into Bayern Munich's penalty area, but Bayern Munich defended very quickly this time, Messi had no chance after entering the penalty area, knocked back to make the ball, and Ribery, who was inserted close behind Lewandowski, pushed and hit, 3:0!
This goal was a complete death sentence for Bayern Munich, because with the current scoreline, they would have to score four goals against Tottenham Hotspur to reverse it, but it is simply an impossible task for Bayern Munich.
So, in the frustration of Bayern Munich, Tottenham Hotspur took advantage of the goal and played another wave of offensive, Ribery forced a breakthrough on the left side to cause a corner, Ribery sent a corner, Kompany headed the ball, for Tottenham Hotspur scored the fourth goal of the game.
4:0!
The entire Allianz Stadium was completely silent, and the Bayern Munich fans, who originally looked very excited, obviously didn't know what kind of reaction to give at this moment, but instead sat in the top corner of the Allianz Stadium in the area where the white Tottenham Hotspur fans were located, creating the biggest noise in the stadium.
When the home draw against Tottenham Hotspur, a very small number of Bayern Munich fans showed off their power at Stratford Stadium, and now, Tottenham Hotspur fans are just retaliating against Bayern Munich in the away game, so they are particularly excited with every cheer, because with a sense of revenge.
Ye Qiu stood on the sidelines, although this game was still commanded by him, but in fact he didn't do much, Mauro? The tactics arranged by Tasotti are very targeted, restraining Bayern Munich's tactics, making Tottenham Hotspur win very easily, and there are not many places where Ye Qiu needs to play.
It should be said that this battle is Ye Qiu vs. Mauro? A big test for Tasotti, and Mauro? Tasotti gave a perfect score.
The first leg was not Mauro? Tassotti's responsibility, Tottenham Hotspur had the advantage in the first half of that game, but the problem was with the players, so as soon as the second leg was adjusted, Tottenham Hotspur had an overwhelming advantage.
Italy's managers are really, really outstanding on a tactical level, especially with the likes of Mauro? Tasotti of this kind.
"Whew!" Mauro? Tassotti exhaled hard after Kompany's fourth goal, looking a little relieved, "Now, we should be ready for the semi-finals!" ”
Ye Qiuwan smiled, didn't say anything, and looked a little low-key.
Actually, Mauro? Tasotti really admires Ye Qiu, on the surface, the tactics of this game are that his tactics worked, but in fact, it is because he stands at a height that is completely inconsistent with Guardiola, and he has Tottenham Hotspur's set of tactical frameworks that have been formed steadily.
The best thing about Tottenham Hotspur's tactical framework is that it is very adaptable.
If Ye Qiu wants, Tottenham Hotspur can play possession, can also play defensive counter-attack, can also play high-intensity pressing and pressing tactics similar to Dortmund and Atletico Madrid, and what is even more frightening is that this team can switch between several different tactics at will, and even switch back and forth in a game.
Heynckes' Bayern Munich is in its second season, and a very important reason why it is so strong is the switch between ball control and defense, but he has not been able to solve Bayern Munich's offensive problems well, nor has he solved Bayern Munich's defensive weakness well.
In other words, Bayern Munich can have two different styles at first glance, but in fact, in the two sets of tactics of ball control and anti-counter-attack, they have not done a good job, and there are obvious weaknesses and loopholes.
In fact, Tottenham Hotspur also has such problems, such as ball control, in the Pirlo era, Tottenham Hotspur's possession is still very good, even if it meets Barcelona, it has the strength to compete, but it is replaced by Matic, which is somewhat weakened in this aspect, but Matic brings the team's solid defense and the steady ball at the back.
In this case, Ye Qiu maximized the team's offensive threat, so it is not a problem that the possession is not strong enough, not to mention that Tottenham Hotspur can often brush up on the high possession rate of more than 60%.
From Ye Qiu's body, Mauro? Tasotti really learned a lot, for example, he was soberly aware that a trick is no longer popular in European football today, for the players, for the manager, and even more so for a team's tactics.
It's like Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid, there is only one trick, pressing and pressing, although they can play with pressing and pressing, but once they meet a team with a similar style of play, or a team with strong targeted ability, they will have no way.
And Bayern Munich, who play possession but always play badly, so they are always confused by Dortmund.
Tottenham Hotspur seems to be very comprehensive and balanced, everything can be done, everything is strong, it can be said that it is integrated.
As a result, many managers and football people have compared Ye Qiu's Tottenham Hotspur, Michels' Ajax, and Sacchi's Milan dynasty as the third biggest legend after the two legendary teams.
In Mauro? In Tasotti's view, Sacchi's Milan dynasty has a deep shadow of Michels' Ajax, and now Tottenham Hotspur also has a deep shadow of the first two legendary teams, which is a kind of heritage in the football world.
So, Mauro? Tasotti now has a feeling similar to that when Fabio Capello took over from Sacchi.
It's stressful, but it's more of an opportunity!

As soon as the whistle blew at the end of the game, Guardiola, who was not far from Ye Qiu, walked over to Ye Qiu, and before he got closer, he heard his sigh, obviously depressed.
"Don't be discouraged, you've done a good job!" Ye Qiu smiled and comforted, he was a winner now, and he was naturally in a good mood.
Guardiola shook his head, "It's still not done, I always feel like something is missing." ”
Ye Qiu nodded, "It's right if you lack something, it proves that you and your team still have room for improvement!" ”
After a pause, Ye Qiu said again: "Actually, I think your direction is right, Bayern Munich is not Barcelona, copying Barcelona's system is only the first step, the purpose is to make Bayern Munich familiar with this system, but after getting acquainted, you have to change it and find out a system suitable for Bayern Munich itself." ”
"After groping and figuring out the route, the last step is to stride forward!" In the end, Ye Qiu himself laughed.
In fact, the whole process is similar to when Ye Qiu took over Tottenham Hotspur, so he has a lot of experience.
"Hearing you say that, the mood of losing is much better!" Pep Guardiola smiled too.
Sent away Guardiola, Ye Qiu saw Mauro? Tasotti walked up and said with a slight smile: "In the next few years, Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich will be one of your strongest competitors, this Spaniard is not simple!" ”
Pep Guardiola is a sensitive and fragile person, but he is also a very good person to think and summarize, such people are often very scary, because they may go the wrong way, they will take the wrong road, but they will quickly find the right path, and follow the right path, unswervingly.
"Fortunately, all the troubles about them in the future have nothing to do with me, please, Mauro!" Ye Qiu smiled and patted Mauro? Tasotti shouldered and walked towards the players' tunnel with a smile.
The Italian looked helpless at first, but soon he looked at Guardiola with a kind of provocation and excitement in his eyes.
He desperately longed for a chance, to be able to take his name, Mauro? Tasotti's identity is to compete with Pep Guardiola, Mourinho, Benitez, Carlo Ancelotti, and all the world's top coaches.
For this qiē, he is not afraid, nor is he timid, on the contrary, he is already a little impatient!
