Volume 1 Chapter 590 Missed

Tottenham Hotspur finally beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, but the final score was just zero

But in the last ten minutes of the game, Tottenham Hotspur was also unlucky, the team's number one right-back Daniel Alves was replaced by Ye Qiu in advance, because he strained the muscles of his thigh in the last few minutes of the game, judging from the current situation, it should be caused by fatigue, but it is not very serious, but it still has to rest for a week.

At the post-match press conference, when Ye Qiu conveyed the result to reporters at the scene, he repeatedly stressed that Tottenham Hotspur would not affect the team's game and plans because of Alves' injury.

'It's normal for players to get injured, especially in the second half of the game, we've put enough effort and preparation for it, our team doctor and medical team have done their best, but no one can guarantee that a team won't get injured, so here, on behalf of the team and Alves, thank everyone for their concern.'

"I can understand everyone's worries, because if one day everyone is not worried about the injury of the player, it must be the retirement of the player, and in the same way, if you don't care about Tottenham Hotspur, you must not like this team, but I also want everyone to understand that players will get injured sometimes, just like when we buy a Ferrari Porsche, we have to take care of it often."

Regarding the importance of Alves in the team, Ye Qiu also affirmed that the Brazilian is the best right-back in the world, but said that the team will minimize the impact of Alves' injury

'At Tottenham Hotspur, there's never a distinction between a start-up and a substitute, all the players can see themselves as the main players in the team and as long as you do well then you will definitely get your chances, because to be here and to be in the first team is a proof that you have what it takes.

'Kyle Walker is only 19 years old but he's already shown his quality and potential in the past and I think what he needs to do now is show his quality in the game and I think he should be in the England squad for the trip to South Africa and he will help the England team

Ye Qiu gave Kyle Walker some appropriate encouragement in an interview, because after Alves' absence, Tottenham Hotspur is currently only Kyle Walker on the right side, but in the following week, Tottenham Hotspur will face the Red Devils Manchester United at home and away, which will be a test for the right side.

For the trust and support from the manager, Kyle Walker expressed his gratitude in an interview with Tottenham Hotspur's official website and promised that he would do his best in the game, whether he was the main player or the substitute.

However, Alves' injury still affected Tottenham Hotspur's preparations, and the first of them was the formation of the backline.

Kyle Walker's speed and wide attacking ability are not in doubt, and his physical fitness to run back and forth is quite good, but his weakness lies in defense, which is the biggest gap between him and Alves, even if the Tottenham Hotspur coaching staff has been consciously strengthening his defensive ability in the past, but this kind of thing cannot be effective in a short period of time.

With Alves' injury and Kyle Walker starting, the right side is bound to become a major weakness for Tottenham Hotspur, and in this case, the start of right centre-back Thiago Silva is necessary, but Ye Qiu has a concern.

Thiago Silva blocked Drogba in this game against Chelsea, although he made the Ivory Coast Elephant King unable to score and failed to create any threat, but his own consumption in the game is also very large, after all, defending Drogba is definitely not an easy thing, so Ye Qiu still has to worry, can Thiago Silva deal with strong opponents in two consecutive games?

You know, Manchester United's current trident running tactics are becoming more and more skillful, and the movement of the front three players is very erratic, which is also very demanding on the defenders, in this situation, can Thiago Silva cope?

But from another point of view, if Kompany and Ziglinski are partnered, Ye Qiu is really not at ease, coupled with the absence of Alves on the right, Ye Qiu and the coaching staff finally decided to continue to play Thiago Silva after three days of consideration, after all, Tottenham Hotspur played Manchester United's Champions League semi-finals, and the home team was still attack-oriented.

So, in this game, Ye Qiu discharged goalkeeper Cech, Coentrão, Kompany, Thiago Silva and Kyle Walker in the backline, David Silva, Yaya Toure and Cesc Fabregas in the midfield, Ribery, Falcao and Messi in the front, and Cavani was left on the bench by Ye Qiu this time

The competition between Falcao and Cavani is clear to everyone in the team, although in terms of data, Falcao has an absolute advantage, but Cavani's strength and momentum of progress are also very eye-catching, and he is not lost to Falcao at all.

Since Ye Qiu coached Tottenham Hotspur, almost every season there will be some players who have completely opened up their minds and completed the sublimation of their strength, transforming into top or first-class stars.

The first season was Ruud van Nistelrooy's return to the top at Tottenham Hotspur, while the likes of Messi, Cesc Fabregas, Franck Ribery and others all showed surprising improvement; In the second season, Ribery and Messi continued to develop at a high speed, with Ribery becoming a superstar, and if it weren't for the Champions League final and UR injury in the second half of the year, he could have beaten Cristiano Ronaldo to become the world footballer of the year.

In the UR9 season, during Ribery's injury, Messi provoked the offensive banner of Tottenham Hotspur, Gareth Bale was also born, Tottenham Hotspur's entire team strength and lineup did not have the slightest impact, coupled with Van Persie's threading in the front, the outside world is still amazed by Tottenham's progress momentum.

With the sale of many stars in the team in the summer of 09, Tottenham Hotspur retained Messi and helped Ribery return to the top, and Yaya Toure's maturity in the midfield, coupled with the stability of the backline, have maintained Tottenham's overall strength.

But when it comes to Tottenham Hotspur in the 0910 season, you can't fail to mention Romedar Falcao.

This was considered by all to be Tottenham's biggest discovery of the season, as the Colombian striker not only surpassed Lionel Messi to become the team's leading scorer, but also set off an attacking storm in the Premier League, interpreting the role of the modern scoring centre-forward with his own ability.

In addition to Falcao, Tottenham Hotspur has been adjusting more this season, and what everyone remembers is the team's youth team, the rise of a young group of players such as Pogba, Nastasic, Varane, Hazzard, Ramsey, Kyle Walker, etc., and the beginning of responsibility in the first team, which gives people a glimpse of the future of Tottenham Hotspur.

Almost every year, there are amazing players coming out every year, which makes almost everyone agree that Tottenham Hotspur is the best and most ideal in terms of team stability and metabolism, which is not even as good as Manchester United.

Because of this, Tottenham Hotspur has fierce internal competition, which is also something that some journalists and fans close to Tottenham Hotspur know, especially the competition between Falcao and Cavani in the front.

These two strikers have a lot of similarities, but they also have very different tactical characteristics, and after a season of familiarity, almost everyone has grasped a key to Ye Qiu's selection, that is, to see the purpose of his game.

If Tottenham Hotspur are going to attack with all their might and try to get more points, Falcao is the choice, but if Tottenham feel that this game will run into some trouble, and they want to pick up points and be safe, then they will go with Cavani.

From Ye Qiu's choice of Falcao to start, everyone, including Ferguson, felt that Tottenham Hotspur would still focus on attack in this game, and strive to beat Manchester United at home and strive to score more goals.

The reason why the competition is fierce is that the players in the team have enough strength and can grasp the opportunities again and again.

Just like Falcao, this time in the semi-finals Ye Qiu let him start, although he played almost the whole game when he played Chelsea, but when he played Manchester United, he still seized an opportunity, in the 31st minute of the first half, received a cross from Coentrão on the left, and a clever shot in the penalty area penetrated Van der Sar's goal, 0

Manchester United's defense in this game is also very well organized, away from home, Ferguson knows very well how to play, so Manchester United is still defense-oriented, and even Rooney and Tevez have frequently retreated to participate in the defense of the midfield, leaving a Benzema in front of him ready to counterattack.

On the offensive end, Kyle Walker on the right side was very active, he actively participated in the attack in the frontcourt, and the cooperation between Messi was also very threatening, including a diagonal pass from the right side in the first half, and the landing point was also very good, but Falcao was disturbed by Vidic this time, failed to run to the position, and missed a must-score opportunity.

In the second half, Kyle Walker was also more active, and after receiving a knock from Messi on the right in the 57th minute, he cut inside with his left foot and hit the goal, which was at a high level, but was blocked by Ferdinand.

In the cheers of the fans at White Hart Lane, Tottenham Hotspur played a wave of attacks, but Manchester United's defense is also quite good, especially in this game, Ferguson in order to play this semi-final before, even did not hesitate to leave a hand in the city derby with Manchester City, and finally played very embarrassed, if it were not for Scholes's last crucial goal, Manchester United would not have been able to beat Manchester City at all.

The purpose of keeping in the league is to make a difference in the Champions League semi-finals, so Ye Qiu can't believe that Manchester United will choose to defend in this game, and Ferguson will at least choose to fight for an away goal away from home.

As Ye Qiu has always said, the most important thing in defending and counterattacking is not defense, but the mastery of the timing of counterattacks.

In the face of a situation like Tottenham Hotspur, the best time to counterattack must be in the last 20 minutes, that is, after 70 minutes, which is when Tottenham Hotspur's physical consumption is the most serious and powerful, and it is also the time when the defense is the most vulnerable.

Therefore, when Ye Qiu saw that the team showed some signs of physical fitness, he immediately made substitution adjustments, and at the same time asked the players to remain focused and patient, and the team's tactics were to adopt more prudent tactics and no longer press on it aggressively.

Manchester United learned the tactics of Tottenham Hotspur to beat Barcelona in this game, and Ferguson's side gave up possession, but the presence of Tevez, Benzema and Wayne Rooney made Manchester United very dangerous in front of the field.

This kind of threat is not a big problem if Tottenham Hotspur is in a good state of physical fitness and passes and receives the ball smoothly, but once it reaches the last 20 minutes, the problem comes, because this kind of frontcourt trident into the frontcourt counter-attack, to Tottenham Hotspur's entire central midfield defense, possession and organization have brought a huge threat.

When the game reached the eighty-third minute, what Ye Qiu and the Tottenham Hotspur Hotspur coaching staff were worried about finally appeared, Kyle Walker was entangled by Tevez after taking the ball on the right side, and wanted to pass to Thiago Silva, the Brazilian central defender quickly rushed over to receive the ball, and under the disturbance of Benzema, the Brazilian central defender originally wanted to clear the siege with a left foot, but I don't know what happened, but he kicked the ball off the way, and it turned directly into a pass

After receiving a pass from Thiago Silva, Sneijder kicked the ball directly over the top and into the box, Rooney cut in and stopped the ball and pushed it straight through Cech's goal

The goal was a surprise to the fans at White Hart Lane, who had never expected United to score in such a way that Thiago Silva, who had always been known for his safety, was now making such a low-level mistake in such a crucial game.

The Tottenham captain was so annoyed that he grabbed his head with both hands after seeing Wayne Rooney score.

Only Ye Qiu, Peter Brandt, and the members of the coaching staff who stood on the sidelines knew that Thiago Silva had done his best, just dealing with the ravages of Drogba, and ushered in the destruction of Tevez, Benzema and Rooney, Thiago Silva's mistakes, mainly because his physical fitness had reached a limit.

"The situation is not good," Mauro Tasotti whispered.

Manchester United is now showing a clear attitude to play the Champions League with all their might, and now they have an away goal in hand, with the current situation of Tottenham Hotspur, it is difficult to hope for another goal, whether it is Ribery or Messi, or even Falcao, Fabregas and others, they are obviously very tired, Messi and Ribery are completely out of shape.

In this case, Tottenham Hotspur will find it difficult to break down Manchester United's defence.

In fact, for such a situation, the Tottenham Hotspur coaching staff has long been mentally prepared, in less than a month, two consecutive Barcelona games, three Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea once, such a dense encounter with strong teams, this kind of high-intensity game is unbearable for any team.

Even Manchester City and Real Madrid, who claim to have a strong bench, don't expect to get out of such a devilish schedule with a complete victory, and Tottenham Hotspur have performed well in every game so far.

At the very least, after eliminating Barcelona, they beat Arsenal and Chelsea in quick succession.

Ye Qiu stood on the sidelines, didn't say anything, and his face was grim, because he also knew that the current situation was not good for Tottenham Hotspur, because playing Manchester United away, Tottenham Hotspur had to score a goal, and Manchester United, who scored an away goal, completely grasped the advantage.

Of course, just one away goal is not enough, it will have to be seen how Ferguson plays, because in the face of Tottenham Hotspur's strong attacking power, it is not an impossible task at all to score just one away goal, and it can only be said that the second leg at Old Trafford will be very, very tough.

As Manchester United's main midfielder, Lars Diarra played the highest level since joining Manchester United, his interception and destruction in the midfield almost brought huge trouble to Tottenham Hotspur's midfield, coupled with the offensive and defensive trident of the front field, Ferguson's Manchester United finally ran in

In Ye Qiu's opinion, if Manchester United still has a soft underbelly, then it should be the right-back, Gary Neville is not young, Rafael and Fabio, the twin brothers, have not yet shown the strength and level to succeed, so for the time being, Gary Neville has to continue to support.

Because of this, Ye Qiu said at a press conference after the team's home L draw against Manchester United that his team will beat the opponent in the away game.

'It's a bit of a shame for us to score, but I don't think it's anything to regret because we have the absolute advantage and the initiative, we have a team that is hiding behind a turtle shell, but I'm sure the second leg will be different.

Regarding the player's mistakes, Ye Qiu said that the biggest responsibility is himself.

'If there's anyone to blame for the draw at home, there's no doubt that I think I'm the biggest responsible because I started all the players and Thiago has been very good this season and I don't think he's to blame because no player can keep the level of performance in every game.

'All I can say about this game is that United have taken advantage of our current situation and one of the few chances in the game, but I would also say that we have the second leg and we will beat Manchester United at Old Trafford to qualify for the final'

No one will refute Ye Qiu's remarks, because now Tottenham Hotspur has won the Premier League in advance, and the only task next is the Champions League, so Tottenham Hotspur will definitely do their best in the second leg.

Whether it is from the feedback of the media, or from the reaction of fans, or from the odds of the bookmaker, Tottenham Hotspur is still the number one favorite to win the championship and the number one favorite to advance, which shows the affirmation and trust of the outside world and fans in the strength of Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur.
