Volume 1 Chapter 578 Thank you, Mr. Ferreira
Seeing Cavani, many people will mistake him for an Argentine, because he always has the Argentine star's signature long hair, and he wears a black headband on his forehead to ensure that his long hair does not affect his performance on the pitch, and this feature is also very reminiscent of the two Argentine goalscorers, Batistuta and Crespo.
Although Cavani's idol is Ruudin van Nistelrooy, and he has had the privilege of playing with him for a season and learned a lot from Ruudin vanney, everyone who has seen Cavani play feels that his technical characteristics are more like Batistuta, but he has a wide range of physical runs and an aggressive defensive attitude that are extremely rare among strikers.
Ye Qiu once mentioned when talking to Cavani that Drogba's most significant feature is his arrogant and unreasonable body, he can ravage the opponent's defenders differently in 90 minutes of a game, and as long as the defender can't hold on, he wins, this is Drogba's characteristic, and it is also a powerful weapon for the Ivory Coast Elephant King to become the top center forward in the world.
And Cavani can't be the type of Drogba, nor can he become Ruud van Nistelrooy, let alone Batistuta or Crespo, but he can learn a lot from these people, because he is too comprehensive, center, second striker, left and right winger, he can play these positions, the basic skills are very solid and comprehensive, there is no problem with the back to take the ball, make the ball, and grab points.
But when Tottenham Hotspur's coaching staff tailored Cavani's style of play, one thing that focused on him was his exceptional physicality, which ensured he could run around the pitch on a wide range of physical exertion, engaging in defence and looking for scoring opportunities.
In other words, if Drogba is using his body and strength to ravage the opponent's defenders, then Cavani can be used in another way, that is, to use his physical strength to pull and drive the opponent's defense, and then achieve the goal of dragging down the opponent's defenders.
In Ye Qiu's view, Cavani and Drogba are very similar, neither of them has similar player templates before, just like Drogba, there are many players whose bodies will not lose to Drogba, or even surpass Drogba, such as Vieri, but the question is, Vieri's speed is faster than Drogba? Is the impact as strong as his?
In other words, a center with Drogba's body, not as fast as him, a center with a faster speed than him, a center with no comprehensive skills than him, a center with more comprehensive skills than him, sorry, the body is not as good as him, and the center who can combine strength, skill and speed so well, he is the first.
The same is true for Cavani, he has not had a center forward before who has such a template, and there are players with such a diligent style of play that he can't run, such as Rooney and Tevez, but they are the fulcrum of the frontcourt, height is a disadvantage, and they are also undead, and at the same time the figure is more in line with the fulcrum requirements, such as Kuyt and Olich, but they are not as comprehensive as Cavani in terms of skills, so in the positioning of Tottenham Hotspur, Cavani's tactical role is very large.
As early as last summer, when Tottenham Hotspur decided to sell Van Persie, Ye Qiu cultivated Cavani as the team's number one center forward, and the purpose of introducing Falcao was to increase the team's bench thickness and improve the competitiveness of the striker, but what everyone didn't expect was that Falcao would suddenly emerge and use the preseason to grab the main position.
And throughout the season, Falcao's performance has been very stable, and the goal rate has always been very good, which made Ye Qiu also mention when communicating with Cavani that he has no way to win Falcao in this situation.
Cavani has been in Tottenham Hotspur for four seasons, he knows and respects Ye Qiu very well, he knows very well that with Falcao performing so well, it is impossible for any manager to win him, and as a competitor, he can only feel helpless when encountering this kind of thing.
But in desperation, he also saw something in Falcao that he did not have or was very lacking.
First of all, as a main center, Falcao has a very well-rounded, and very solid scoring ability, the left and right feet are very good, all kinds of scoring skills, he is a fatal blow at his fingertips, and on the other hand, although he can provide the team with the ability to run and press in the front court on the court, he lacks in scoring ability.
On the one hand, this deficiency is reflected in his use and grasp of footwork, to know that everything that happens on the court is in an instant, and every technical action you make is almost a subconscious instinctive reaction, so as a scorer, this requires you to build a sense of a scorer and self-confidence through long-term training and accumulation.
Another point lacking is in the connection of technical movements, if you carefully observe Falcao, it is not difficult to find that he starts from receiving the pass from his teammates, he seems to have planned in advance what to do after receiving the ball, and he has enough technical ability and body adjustment ability, so that after receiving the ball to the foot shooting, every technical action in the whole process is well connected.
Anyone who has ever played football knows that as long as you have a good connection of your skills and movements, it is impossible for others to stop you except for fouls.
In addition to these two technical problems, Cavani also realised that Falcao was smart at stealing positions.
Don't look at him not tall, but his heading ability is not weak, and his physical confrontation ability is not strong, but whether it is as a center forward to get the ball, or rush into the penalty area to grab points, he is at ease, this is because he has a very smart sense of grabbing position, he can seize the most advantageous position for himself at the first time, and then force the opponent to a disadvantageous position, using this way to make up for the lack of physical strength confrontation.
Whether it's the excitement from Falcao, or the guidance and assistance from Tottenham Hotspur's coaching staff, Cavani has been very involved in training this season, and in addition to insisting on completing the team's training every day, he has also practiced a lot of extra things himself, including a variety of shooting skills, contact maneuvers against dummies, and even free kicks.
Cavani's training, Ye Qiu and the coaching staff are in the eyes, and in fact, Ye Qiu is very satisfied with Cavani, so even if Falcao performs well, even if the Colombian center is not injured or sick, Ye Qiu still often gives Cavani a chance, and he is still constantly cultivating and carving Cavani
The crazy training over the past six months has shown its effect in many games in the past, and in this game, Cavani also showed his excellent scoring ability.
The goal in the first half was more due to Ribery's excellent performance, but Cavani's ability to run to that position itself means that he has enough sense of position, and he has the upper hand in the confrontation with Porto's defenders throughout the game, and in the second half, he scored again, a long-range shot from Beckham, the opposing goalkeeper got rid of it, Cavani picked up the miss, scored twice, and helped the team take a 40-point lead.
Both goals seemed simple, but Cavani used the simplest and most practical technical moves to complete them, so the whole shot looked unremarkable but showed efficiency.
But it was Tottenham's last goal of the second half that really made Edinson Cavani improve and look more and more like a solid scorer, and the fifth of the game.
At that time, David Silva made a through ball, Cavani pulled to the left to get the ball, Bruno Alves quickly retreated, face to face to try to mark him, and Cavani was struggling with the ball, from the left corner into the Porto penalty area, a move to dribble horizontally inward, so that Bruno Alves quickly adjusted his center of gravity to prevent Cavani from shooting.
As a right-footed player, Cavani cut in from the left side and took advantage of his feet, so as an experienced centre-back, Bruno Alves had to block Cavani's right-footed shot in the first place.
But just as Bruno Alves's feet were raised, Cavani suddenly pushed the ball to the left with his right foot, which surprised Bruno Alves, because Cavani's buckle was equivalent to giving him directly, so he quickly adjusted his center of gravity and wanted to stop Cavani, but his body lost balance and slipped on the grass.
At the moment when Cavani smashed the ball, Porto goalkeeper Heldon reacted, he realized the danger, the first time to abandon the goal, the Porto goalkeeper is obviously very fond of attacking, and Cavani's reaction is also very fast, after deducting Bruno Alves, he quickly rushed to the ball, and then went to the right with his right foot, ahead of Helton, to the middle.
This time he was in front of an empty goal, and Porto's other centre-back had already chased back into place, realizing that Cavani would be the first to shoot, so he made a flying sliding tackle, because if Cavani's shot was a ground ball, his sliding tackle could just block the angle of the shot.
Cavani's shooting skills have appeared, because the Uruguayan has his back to the left side of the pitch and faces the right side of the pitch, so the goal is equivalent to his left hand, the ball is on his right foot, and the opposing defender has chased back into place.
However, Cavani chose to jump lightly off the ground, and at the same time complete the turn of his body, and when he performed this action, his right foot hit the middle and bottom part of the ball, so that the ball bounced up slightly, probably at the knee of one person, picked up the sliding tackle of the opposing defender, and then landed, and quickly drilled into the goal.
And almost at the same time, Cavani also stood his feet and watched the ball go into the net, 0
And he scored a hat-trick
Ye Qiu stood on the sidelines, he was very surprised to see Cavani complete such a shot, he couldn't help but jump up from the ground, clenched his fists and shouted, although this shot happened in the blink of an eye, but from Cavani shaking Bruno Alves, the whole process was very beautiful, reflecting Cavani's calmness and his scoring skills.
After shouting, Ye Qiu kept applauding on the sidelines, and after the goal, Cavani, who rushed to the sidelines in one breath, quickly ran to Ye Qiu, opened his arms, and didn't care about his sweating profusely, he directly hugged the head coach tightly, opened his mouth and let out a shout, venting the excitement of scoring a goal.
He scored a hat-trick before, but it was the first time in the Champions League
After hugging Ye Qiu, Cavani hugged the members of the coaching staff one after another, because these people had given him a lot of help and guidance in the past, and then he hugged and celebrated with his teammates who rushed over.
Cavani's popularity in the team is very good, mainly because he has a good personality, and his style of play can bring benefits to anyone in the team except for players who conflict and compete with him for his position, so this makes his popularity in the team very good, and even Messi, Ribery and others obviously prefer Cavani
"This kid has improved a lot" Mauro Tasotti was covered in sweat after being hugged by Cavani, which was a little sad, after all, he was wearing Versace.
"Five shots, four shots on target, three goals, four threatening passes, he really did everything a top center forward" Ye Qiu also felt that Cavani was really right today, and he found out as early as in training that Cavani was in good shape.
Sometimes a centre-forward is not in good shape and cannot look at the goal, because many times the goal is the result of teamwork, and in the game against Fulham, the performance of the young players in the team is really not ideal, resulting in Cavani not getting many chances.
But it may be that it was precisely that game that held my breath, so I completely vented it in Porto
"It's good for us for him to break out now, especially the coming Devil's April." Mauro Tassoti said.
When it comes to the devil's April, Ye Qiu's face is full of solemnity, because the joy brought by Cavani's outbreak has also been swept away, because April will decide whether Tottenham Hotspur can continue to go on in the Champions League and the league this season, but the entire April schedule is the devil of the devil.
"I hope the Champions League can draw a good draw" Ye Qiu said with a wry smile, he thinks Tottenham Hotspur really needs a little luck now, although he has never believed in luck, but sometimes, luck is really important.
In the end, the game ended with five goals from Tottenham Hotspur, and Porto was completely defeated, while the north London team finally kicked the Portuguese Super League team out of the Champions League round of 16 with an aggregate score, and they successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
The 0 score made Tottenham Hotspur fans addicted, and at the same time, all Tottenham Hotspur and Premier League fans, and even the English media were very angry, all of them were gearing up at the post-match press conference, waiting for the arrogant manager of Porto, Jezualdo Ferreira, to make a good fool of himself.
At the very least, this arrogant guy has to stop being arrogant in the future.
Ye Qiu came to the press conference at the White Hart Lane Stadium almost at the same time as Jesu Aldo Ferreira, he was a little behind, and as soon as he entered the field, he smiled and stretched out his right hand to Jesu Aldo Ferre, with a kind smile.
But just when all the reporters and media below were surprised by Ye Qiu's attitude, and even felt that this guy's smile was so hypocritical and disgusting that he wanted to make people vomit, Ye Qiu finally opened his mouth to fight back.
Although it was a little late, it was the iconic Ye Qiu's counterattack, he would not fight back when he lost, because at that time he said that everything was a loss, but you must not let him win, otherwise, he will do everything possible to return hundreds of percent of his former anger to you, and even stomp on you a few times.
"Thank you, Mr. Ferreira, by the way, please help me thank the players of Porto, thank you for your mercy"
Ye Qiu's words were too hypocritical, and there was a burst of laughter from the scene, "You know, our goal is bigger than the roof of the Dragon Stadium, and in this game, we can not concede a goal, I think, there is only one explanation, that is, you are merciful at your feet, because only in this way can you explain why the goal is so big, and you can't score a goal."
Ye Qiu's words made all the reporters present laugh loudly, even including some European and Portuguese reporters, they all laughed in unison, this guy's character has not changed, anyone who angers him, he must take revenge.
With such sarcasm and sarcasm in front of the gong and drum, Jesualdo Ferreira's face was ugly, he couldn't wait to dig a hole in the ground on the spot and get into it, but Ye Qiu's words were obviously not finished yet.
"I would also like to thank the players in Porto, but more importantly, thanks to Mr. Ferreira, I know that our performance at the Stade de la D'Oro was so bad, that our attacking ability was so weak and weak that Mr. Ferreira was worried that we would not be able to score in this game, so he made his goal as big as the Pacific Ocean, and we shot whatever we wanted, and the ball went in."
There was a burst of laughter at the scene again, Jesualdo Ferreira compared the Tottenham Hotspur fans to the roof of the Dragon Stadium, and Ye Qiu Yubrian was even more exaggerated, directly describing it as the Pacific Ocean, obviously sarcastic and sarcastic Ferreira, your goal is much easier to score than ours.
'I had already warned my players before the game and I told them that Mr. Ferreira had shown us mercy and that we should be grateful for the first leg with only two goals, but this bunch of guys completely ignored my words and scored five goals, and I was scolding them in the dressing room and guess what they said?
There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and someone chased after him and asked, "What do you say?" ”
"They told me, especially Cavani, who doesn't score a lot on weekdays, and he said, oh, head, I'm sorry, I don't know what to do, I play whatever I want, who knows how I can kick it, I can score it any way, I accidentally score three, I don't want to do that, what can I do?"
There was a burst of laughter in the audience, and Jesualdo Ferreira's face was red and white, and he couldn't wait to bite this guy to death on the spot, but as long as he thought of what he said at the beginning, he said it too early and too full, and he was now ashamed and regretful.
"In the end, I convinced Cavani, you know, this is his first hat-trick in the Champions League, and I finally got him to agree, and I gave the ball that I was going to take home and collect it to our Mr. Ferreira, thank him for his support and cooperation in this game, and also have all of us autographed"
As if playing a trick, Ye Qiu grabbed a ball from behind him, which really had the signatures of everyone in the Tottenham Hotspur team.
Jesualdo Ferreira couldn't sit still at all, and stood up directly, wanting to say something, but he was so angry that he couldn't speak, turned around and left, leaving the press conference.
Ye Qiu was behind him, and he didn't leave him, just looked at the signed ball, feeling a little innocent
In these years, it's really hard to be a good person, and you don't want such a meaningful souvenir to give you?
