With a 3-1 win over Arsenal, Tottenham enjoyed one of the most important wins of the season – after the seventh round of fixtures, they surpassed Arsenal and moved second in the Premier League table with 16 points from five wins, one draw and one defeat from seven games – and were overtaken by another team, Manchester United. Manchester United's 4-1 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield in the seventh round also saw them relinquish top spot. Now Liverpool is at the top of the table with five wins, one draw and one loss in seven games, and Manchester United has lost a big score and lost the goal difference advantage, slipping to third place.

The top three teams in the league are all teams with only one draw and one defeat, and it is more conspicuous that Arsenal and Chelsea have lost two games. Although this is only the seventh round of the league, there is still a long way to go, but this result is enough to make the media discuss it for a long time.

Soon after the start of the season, they encountered two strong opponents in the league, but they were able to maintain such a position, which made the entire Premier League media full of discussion. It's surprising that they were able to play such a good result in such a short period of time.

'The time has come for Tottenham to rise, maybe it's really coming.'

Since the 05-06 season, after grabbing the fifth place with Arsenal to grab the last round, the rise of Tottenham has always been a matter of great concern to the Premier League. Tottenham has the money, the market, and the confidence to try to rise, which is something that many teams simply don't have. Their rise to power the Premier League's long-established top-four model is a situation that many would love to see.

However, differing opinions are not uncommon. At least, Manchester City have only lost two games now, one of which was to Chelsea, and in the eyes of many, they can be regarded as rising. If this is the case, that is, as long as the team that pays for it is not bad, Tottenham has nothing to be happy about.

"Tottenham's top priority is to think about how to keep their good players, after their players play well, but it is very likely to be poached, and players are easy to be poached if they don't have a big team."

After the game, Arsenal had nothing to say about the game, but the more pro-Arsenal media couldn't help but say sourly, "In this game, what we saw was the excellent individual ability of Tottenham's players, and we didn't see it if we wanted to say that the tactics were better." ”

In this regard, Li Bin did not speak in public, but in private, he complained to Esposito, "It's just what others say, why does Arsenal say that the word heritage makes me feel like I can't say anything...... And, what they say, is it their experience? ”

Thinking of Arsenal's selling people every year, Esposito also smiled bitterly, but in addition to smiling, he also reminded Li Bin, "You'd better be careful, the individual ability of our players is really prominent, and it's not impossible for someone to poach." ”

"Don't worry, there is no such problem yet."

Li Bin is not worried about this, to put it bluntly, it is because of the income problem: people have always said that how can the rich family attract players, but, in the final analysis, what is the background of the big family? One is the possibility of winning the championship, and the other is the high salary. Although this is a bit of malicious speculation, it is the truth. In the previous 90s, people ridiculed the nouveau riche, but the nouveau riche at that time was not strong enough, or because the nouveau riche team did not have enough money to buy real big-name players.

But since Chelsea, it's a bit boring to talk about the attraction of big clubs. Chelsea have proven that money is the last word, and when you have money, you have everything. Moreover, in the future, Manchester City and Paris will repeatedly prove this truth - the nouveau riche is really rich, and they can crush everything.

Especially in 2008, under the economic crisis, Italy's northern three power completely withered, Germany already has health financial constraints, it is difficult to pay a lot of money, although Barcelona has achieved good results over the years, but because of poverty, there is no less jokes, the only trouble is Spain's Real Madrid - but then again, who does Real Madrid look at is not digging? Even if Ronaldo is at Manchester United, don't they still dig the same?

The economic crisis has disrupted the purchasing power of the big clubs, and this is a rare opportunity for the smaller teams.

"Moreover, our players, now the tactical coordination ability is also improving, I believe that by the time it is time to play Manchester United, we can basically form a preliminary coordination system."

After the game against Arsenal, the biggest change on Tottenham's side was Gustavo. As the main defender, he was given a team-low score by the media in the game. Tottenham's goal conceded was a flaw found from his point, and the subsequent distress also had a lot to do with him. This crisis made Gustavo realize the huge problem of him, and now he is much more serious when he plays.

The Brazilian players have a bit of a risk-taking problem, which has a big impact on their quality. Li Bin asked him to play in the back position, this position especially pays attention to the ball with one foot, and there is no habit of passing the ball safely, but it is not good. Now that he realizes this problem, his attitude has changed a lot, which also makes Li Bin a lot happy.

There is a game to be gained in a game, and after the harvest is made, digest these gains, and the team can play stronger and stronger.

Now on the field, he is engaged in passing training - Tottenham's passing training is still the previous big field divided into four, five people in each small field, ten people in a pair, two or three confrontations, short passes must not exceed four feet of passing training mode. This kind of training is simple and straightforward, and it also helps them a lot. Now Gustavo and Yaya Toure are always in a group, sometimes with Bale or Piszczek, and the main training is their ability to cooperate in small areas.

Yaya Toure and Gustavo hadn't played together before, but with this kind of quick attack, they had to try to play together. Under normal circumstances, Suarez, Cavani, and Di Maria will also be assigned together, and their cooperation is also crucial. For Tottenham, it is now crucial to improve their ability to link up in a short period of time by relying on this approach.

Li Bin believes that in football training, the most important thing is individual skills, followed by team cooperation, whether it is attack or defense, if you ignore individual skills and only talk about cooperation, it will not work at all. Barcelona can play tikitaka, but if the weaker teams are allowed to play, they will have a hard time controlling the ball, and there will be no wins. However, now Tottenham, Li Bin buys players with one-on-one ability, and what he needs to give them now is the ability to cooperate.

However, there is one thing that is different from the usual today: Di Maria is now sitting on the sidelines, not playing, but here watching his team-mates train.

"How's it going, how's the recovery?" Li Bin walked over and asked Di Maria beside him.

"It's normal, I think it's three weeks, and it shouldn't be a big problem to come back normally." Di Maria did not think about coming back early, nor did he say that his injury was serious, his words have always been honest, not inviting pets, nor showing off, "It's not the first time I've had a hamstring strain, I have experience, and it's almost good in three weeks." ”

Li Bin is satisfied with his attitude, there are few players who are willing to mention their previous injuries, "Then take care of your injuries." It's not a big problem for the team, and the good thing is that there's another international break, so you'll be missing three games in total. When you come back, you can still play well. I forgot to ask you, are you still used to living in the UK? ”

Li Bin's tone was very gentle, which also made Di Maria no longer restrained. The two of them were chatting and talking about some of their own things. As Li Bin said, although Di Maria is injured, but the impact on Tottenham is not very big, there is a national team game in October, the league has been suspended for a week, Tottenham few people are internationals, now they don't have to worry about Di Maria delaying too many games, so Di Maria is not under much pressure.

"It's okay, the climate is not very adaptable, and my English is not very good, and now I am still troublesome in life, but fortunately, the translator prepared for me in the team is very easy to use, and there is definitely no problem in tactical understanding." Di Maria said, "The requirements of the team, and I can adapt to them, is it really necessary for us to come over and have breakfast together an hour before training? ”

"I think it's necessary. We're not familiar with each other yet, and there's no harm in spending more time together. Li Bin glanced at him again, "Remember, if there is any trouble, you must tell me as soon as possible, and I will help you solve it." ”

Di Maria was a little puzzled, Li Bin repeatedly emphasized for Lu: Although his temper is honest, he is not a weak person, so he can't understand Li Bin's intentions well.

Generally speaking, when the players arrive in a new place, they play together, the terminology, the daily life and so on, and the use of simple foreign languages to communicate, the players are not affected much. It's really not good, you can do a demonstration action, anyway, the action of opening a big foot, the players will not understand it as kicking people's heads. There is nothing difficult in these aspects, they all have translations, so it would be nice to put some thought into it.

However, when a player is injured, things are different. Once a player is injured, he becomes psychologically vulnerable. No matter who you are, when you are injured or sick, what you want to hear most is the local sound. At this time, communicating with them in a foreign language will have a great impact on their psychology, and it is easy for them to feel lonely and alienated - this is what Li Bin is most worried about. The Premier League team has a lot of foreign aid, and there are many foreign aids, so it is difficult to notice these aspects, and many players are injured in the Premier League, and it is difficult to get back to their past state, and it has a lot to do with language. With injuries, the most important thing is care, and if you don't pay attention to these, it is easy for players to play badly.

Li Bin doesn't want any problems with his team, he wants the players to try to play at the best possible level, not ups and downs because of mental problems, and he wants to do his best in this aspect.

"I hope you're okay. Oh, by the way, and one more thing: I look through the footage, do you like to wear shoes with broken spikes? ”

Di Maria nodded.

"Let's use spikes more in the future - the Premier League turf is slippery, and it is less likely to get injured with spikes than with broken nails." Li Bin patted Di Maria, "Kick well, believe me, under me, you have the best future!" ”
