After taking over Tottenham, he easily defeated Celtic in the first game, and Li Bin had a good start in the Premier League. It's just an inconsequential friendly game, but it's never a bad thing to have a good start in the first game. Moreover, because of the victory in the game, after the game, the media in England also expressed their opinions.

It stands to reason that it is not a big deal for a team to change its coach, and there are not a few teams in the Premier League that have changed coaches this summer, at least Chelsea, Tottenham, and Manchester City have a high degree of attention. But Chelsea went to the United States for commercial matches this summer, and after Manchester City changed coaches, there was no qualitative improvement in play, so Tottenham, which showed strong combat effectiveness in the game, has become the focus of attention in the Premier League.

'In the game, we saw changes at Tottenham. Coach Li Bin did not choose the short pass penetration style that Latin coaches prefer to use, but chose long passes as the main means. The passing ability of their backfield players is very good, and the counterattack is very sharp, these are the places that show Li Bin's level, but we don't know what the basis for Li Bin to make such a choice of long passes, but too many long passes are not good for the game, and the trend of football is to develop towards short passes to control the game, which is the unchanging truth, the current strength of Tottenham is much weaker than the previous Parma, I don't know if this is because Li Bin's level has declined, or because the Premier League is stronger, Li Bin shows more of his true level here. As a coach from Asia, we still have to wait and see what kind of results he can bring in his coaching. ”

The English media is still quite narcissistic, in their opinion, their teams are all very high-level teams, even if they are world-class coaches, if they do not succeed in the Premier League, it is not a proof of themselves. Although Li Bin has become famous, but if he does not prove himself in the Premier League, it will not be successful, and the English media will dare to make him a coach from Asia, and he will not be despised by a small amount.

Li Bin didn't pay any attention to this: the last coach from Asia who was called by the English media happened to be Tottenham's sworn rival Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger. Even though he had already led Monaco to the last four of the Champions League when he took over Arsenal, he was still an Asian coach in England's eyes. There is no need to ignore these statements, and the level of Tottenham's playing is now obvious to all. It is true that long passes are not as easy to control the game as short passes, but they are also easier to grasp the holes in the transition between attack and defense than short balls. How to connect control and conversion is not something that can be achieved simply by pursuing a certain way of passing.

Soon after the match against Celtic, Tottenham also welcomed a second friendly. Because Tottenham Hotspur won nothing on many fronts last season, and at the end of the league, it was 11th in the league, and there were no European competitions to worry about, so Tottenham Hotspur Club also arranged four friendly matches. After the first game against Celtic, they played a second friendly against England's homegrown Leeds United.

Because there is no task to play abroad next season, most of the games arranged by Li Bin will be held in China. He still hopes that the team will be able to familiarise themselves with the English style of play as soon as possible, so that the team can play better next season. In this game, Li Bin also made some small adjustments, he let Di Maria on the wing replace Lennon as the starter, and used a back three in midfield, allowing Hoddlestone to get the trick, instead of starting Darren Bent.

This game, compared to the previous one, played a little unsatisfactory. After the start of the game, the back three of the midfielders were very average in the midfield, and Di Maria, who started as a wide player, also played a little restrained, and after the game started, Tottenham's scene was worse than the previous one, and even in the 24th minute, because Hoddlestone's defensive supplement was not timely enough, he conceded a goal first.

However, despite their average play, they had a chance to equalise towards the end of the first half when Edinson Hoddlestone found Cavani with a long ball at the back, who fired a long-range shot to level the scores.

The result was maintained at the bottom of the game - although Gareth Bale on the left and Angel Di Maria on the right both tried to find another goal, but both of them were a little lacking. It was a bit harder for the young players to stay in form for a long time, and they were always trying to find another chance to get the ball into the opposition's goal, but after a number of attempts to no avail, Tottenham ended the game 1-1 and secured a draw.

"Tottenham didn't show any devastation, on the contrary, they played a lukewarm football. We saw that Li Bin let Bale play as a wing-back and at the same time retreated, which was a good initiative to play Bale's impact, but we couldn't understand why he wanted Di Maria to play on the right wing. When Di Maria played on the left side, the passing skills he showed were obviously better, and it was a waste of talent for him to play on the right side. Li Bin has changed Bale from left-back to left-midfield, Gustavo from left-back to midfielder, and Di Maria from left-winger to right-back this season – did he think he was playing a game of blocks? ”

After the game, the media also commented on the game a little. played only 1-1 in the Championship team, and Li Bin's Tottenham was once again criticized a lot.

There are still problems in the team, and Li Bin also knows that in the team, he does not shy away from saying this.

"We still have a big problem now, but we will improve our strength. You can all be stronger, don't let me down. ”

Although the game was not played beautifully, Li Bin is also very satisfied with this result: now he has tried at least a few things: first, in the midfield, there is a Hoddlestone, which can better revitalize the attack, but it will make the defense unfavorable, if the defensive problem is solved, this change of formation can make Tottenham stronger. Second, Di Maria's performance on the right side is not very good, but there is a lot of potential and he can wait for him to grow.

And after the game, he also found a few players who did not play well in the game, and talked to them one by one in private.

First of all, he was talking about Gustavo.

Gustavo is Li Bin's selected midfielder, although he is a fullback, but Li Bin takes a fancy to his excellent defensive skills and accurate positioning, which can give Yaya Toure the advantage of being a butt-wiping helper, but his passing habits are too bad. As a Brazilian, he doesn't particularly like to split the side after taking the ball, passing back and making some simple passes, but he prefers to try to play through balls and pass forwards. This kind of passing is certainly beautiful, but if you don't have enough skill to support it, it's nonsense. It's basically impossible to get a top defender to complete the task, let alone Gustavo, or Liverpool's Mascherano as the playmaker, isn't it a mess? Gustavo is far from being able to plug the organization, and I don't know how much worse it is. This is also the situation that Hoddlestone can change the team's organization after he comes on the field, because although Hoddlestone is not effective defensively, he is a typical Premier League playmaker, and his passing is more reliable than Gustavo.

"Don't try to play risky balls, honestly split sides, although it is not interesting to play like this, but it can definitely take your strength to the next level. You're our workhorse, you have to play well! ”

Gustavo's passing habits are much, much worse than Hoddlestone's. However, he is only 21 years old now, which is still young, and if he tries hard, it is not impossible for him to correct his passing habits.

Another gain is that after seeing Hoddlestone's state, Li Bin feels that he can also consider it in the future, if Hoddlestone can play well, it is not a bad choice to replace him as a substitute player to change the situation on the field at some point.

And after looking for him, Li Bin also found Di Maria.

Di Maria is a different story now: he's a left-footed player and when he's on the left flank, he's actually playing better. He has speed, skill, and delicate footwork, which makes him more useful than Bale in dense defense, because he is a full-back, his dribbling is not to mention, and he has quite strong defensive ability, and at the same time, his left-footed cross can also play a pretty beautiful arc - it can be said that everything about him is very good on the left side - except that his brain is occasionally a little speechless.

Di Maria is not stupid as a player, but he is a bit rigid and dogmatic: when he plays on the left flank, it is probably because he is used to playing as a full-back, and he particularly likes to play a 45-degree long ball immediately after crossing the halfway line. Although his passing is really good, he always uses a style of play, regardless of indiscriminate kicking, which still makes people feel a little helpless.

Therefore, Li Bin chose to put him on the right side: although he seemed a little helpless to play on the right side, and sometimes he was at a loss, however, because no one restricted him to crosses, and Tottenham did not set up a forward midfield, he had a lot of space to cut inside, which made it easier for his all-round skills to be brought into play. His current problem is that he has skills and ideas, but he doesn't dare to try boldly, what Li Bin wants is to let him boldly kick out all his strength.

'When you play, you're a little too conformist. It's not like a young man in this way, you should play with more energy and energy, not so dull and rigid and dogmatic passing. When you play football, the execution is too poor, and you definitely can't play well, but if every shot is a rigid kick, it won't work. ”

Li Bin's accusation made Di Maria bow his head and remain silent, and also made Li Bin helpless for a moment, thinking about how to comfort him: this player is different from many other people, he does not have the pride and domineering that ordinary talented players have carried since childhood, on the contrary, he is low-key, and even a little weak. In my memory, he played in Real Madrid, took the team's minimum wage, submitted six applications in a season, wanted to raise the salary, but was rejected, surprisingly, he was not in a hurry, on the contrary, Real Madrid accused him a lot, thinking that he was insatiable: the absolute main force of a team like Real Madrid, with an annual salary of 1.5 million, became what he should be, but he was scolded.

This person's temper is too low-key.

'Angel, you can play better. On the right side, you may not be comfortable for a while, but that doesn't mean you will never be comfortable. You're a good player, you can play really well. We're about to have a new striker. When the new striker comes, you, Cavani, Suarez, the position of the three of you will be more flexible, and at that time, your strength will also take another leap! ”
