Sometimes, there are managers who are worried that their players are caught in a spiral of pressure and can't help themselves.

Ye Qiu has another view and experience of this, he feels that everyone should have pressure, and the players also have pressure, not only from the fans, from the team and the manager, but also from the surrounding teammates and the players themselves.

Pressure is a thing to look at, it also has two sides, you may only see the bad side of it, and ignore the good side of it, that is, under pressure, it may have a spur and motivating effect on the players.

Ye Qiu shouted that he wanted to win the triple crown, in fact, he wanted to put a kind of pressure on all the players, telling them that this is my goal this season, as for whether this goal can be achieved, Ye Qiu is not a god, he can't be a prophet, but this is an attitude.

A lot of times the manager has to know the emotional and psychological qualities of the players, and when they want to relax, you have to put some pressure on them, urge them to be vigilant and vigilant, so that they have a goal to strive for, and when they are nervous, you have to learn how to decompress them and help them avoid the pressure.

It's a very complex subject that requires the manager to be very familiar with every player in the team.

After Ye Qiu shouted that he wanted to win the treble, Tottenham Hotspur performed very well in the Premier League next, defeating Black Cat Sunderland 1:0 away in the 32nd round of the league.

Because this summer has the European Championship and then the Olympics, the schedule is very tight, which is also seen as a very negative factor for Tottenham Hotspur, and there is only a three-day gap between the 32nd and 33rd rounds of the league, but even so, Tottenham Hotspur still relied on the rotation policy to win 2-1 at home to Southampton.

Adrianse's side were in the spotlight at White Hart Lane this time around, scoring the back of the net after just thirteen minutes, but Tottenham Hotspur quickly equalised in the first half and then came back from a second-half strike from Vidal to earn Tottenham Hotspur praise once again.

Tottenham Hotspur have completed a number of comebacks this season, as well as a number of second-half victories, and the team's tenacity and fighting spirit have won unanimous recognition from the media and fans, and they are very resilient and strong-willed.

In the 34th round of the league, Tottenham Hotspur was postponed because of its participation in the FA Cup semi-finals away to Chelsea, Manchester City defeated Southampton by one goal away, successfully narrowing the gap between themselves and Tottenham Hotspur to one point, and Manchester City, which has won successive rounds in recent rounds, is also very strong.

For Manchester City's close pursuit, Ye Qiu and the players also felt the pressure, after all, from the original lead of eight points, was chased to only one point, although there was one less game, but this pressure was still very great, so that in the FA Cup semi-finals on Saturday, Ye Qiu once again made a difficult decision, that is, to arrange all substitutes and young players to play.

As a result, Tottenham Hotspur suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Roberto Di Matteo's Chelsea and were knocked out of the FA Cup.

This has also been hyped and exaggerated by many media in the outside world, thinking that Tottenham Hotspur can no longer support it, and the continuous multi-front battle has put Tottenham Hotspur in a predicament, and Ye Qiu was even forced to give up the FA Cup, which also announced that Ye Qiu's previous promise of a treble was a complete failure.

But there are also those who think it's a good thing, because after giving up the FA Cup, Tottenham Hotspur can focus all their energy on the league and Champions League, which may be good for Tottenham.

But for a while, the news that Tottenham Hotspur might collapse due to multi-front operations appeared in the newspapers, and even many media called this FA Cup semi-final defeat a signal of Tottenham Hotspur's collapse.

…………

Theorebald's mornings are always hectic.

The members of the coaching staff arrived at the training base early to start the project preparation for the first training session in the morning, not only to set up the field, but also to arrange some preparations for the players when they arrived, which included a lot of details.

The reason why Tottenham Hotspur's training sessions can be tight and high-intensity is because of such details.

The players also came to Theobald early, preparing in the dressing room early, many people were talking about the FA Cup game last night, although Ye Qiu did not put the main players in the squad, but in fact, they all sat in the stands and witnessed the whole process of the team's loss and elimination.

Some people who have a deep affection for the club are indignant about the current situation of the team, while others are more indifferent, perhaps they have lost their sense of victory and defeat, such as Raul and Pirlo, who have been trained in professional competitions and do not have a strong impression of winning or losing, and some think that they are just working in the team and getting a salary.

But there was no doubt that last night's game was the focus of everyone's discussion in the dressing room.

"We lost too much last night's game, and we didn't play at all!" Thiago? Silva shook her head and sighed.

'It's mainly about the attack, especially on the right, Kyle? Walker didn't give Hazzard strong support in attack, resulting in us playing alive on the left but struggling on the right. Alves, who was in the cabinet next door, was changing his clothes and he had some of his own understanding and perspective on the game.

Thiago? Silva looked at Alves, knowing that the fellow Brazilian was now feeling Kyle? Under Walker's pressure, the England right-back is very fast, very physical, simple and practical at his feet, very good to run back and forth, but more importantly he is solid defensively and has a good cross.

This is a trick learned from David Beckham!

'Chelsea focus on the right, Kyle? Walker has done a good job defensively, and has been adducting a lot to help fill in the gaps in the middle, I think he has done a great job, and when the midfield can't control the situation, Alba and Neymar on the left have become the team's key attacking line, and the right side of the defense is a matter of course. ”

Speaking of which, Thiago? Silva glanced at the dressing room and saw that no one was paying attention to him before looking at Alves, "Daniel, on the contrary, you have to pay attention to yourself, the first time in the game you have been called to pay attention to the defensive position, you have to be a defender first, understand?" ”

"I know!" Alves smiled indifferently, "But you should also know that I am good at attacking, and I have recently been negotiating a contract extension with the team, so I need to perform better!" ”

"A good performance doesn't have to be on the offensive end, man!" Thiago? Silva kindly reminded him that he felt that the compatriot had been a bit lazy lately, perhaps because he had a falling out with his wife, and that he had been on the radar of several teams, and that his agent had met with someone from Newcastle.

More people see this behavior as a kind of pressure on the club, and it is a very common means in all player contract renewal negotiations, but everything should have a scale, and if it is beyond this scale, it is likely to lead to the breakdown of negotiations, or even some unnecessary disputes.

Thiago? Silva, like Alves, joined the team when Ye Qiu just bought Tottenham Hotspur, and it has been six years now, he knows Ye Qiu very well, and he knows Alves very well, and he also knows very well that with more and more honors, Alves is no longer the Alves of six years ago.

Sometimes, people can change, especially when they can't see the status quo clearly.

Some people, they don't need too much motivation, they can always maintain a calm and rational attitude, and always have an endless stream of motivation, which can make them insist on training the football field for more than ten years, and this kind of person will become a legend in the eyes of countless fans.

But there are also some people who are able to maintain this hunger and motivation before success, but after success, especially after great success, they often easily lose their way and begin to feel that they have the right to enjoy the glory they have achieved, rather than go further to strive for more glory.

Both types of people are not uncommon in the world of football, and the latter is very much in the Brazilian players, because everyone knows that Brazilian players are notoriously lazy, especially when they are successful.

As a friend and teammate for many years, Thiago? Silva has not been able to communicate with Alves on many things, such as the emotional conflict between Alves and his wife, and the conditions he has set for the team to renew his contract.

There is no doubt that Tottenham Hotspur will not be able to make Alves's salary exceed that of Messi and Ribery, and thus allow them to achieve a balance in terms of total income, so the biggest contradiction in Alves' contract extension now lies in this.

Thiago? Silva patted Alves on the shoulder, closed the closet, turned around, and clapped his hands, "Alright, guys, stop talking, it's time to train!" ”

A group of people walked out of the locker room one after another, and as soon as they walked out of the training building, they noticed that Ye Qiu, who had basically ignored training now, appeared on the training ground, and everyone was suddenly in their hearts and quickened their pace.

Ye Qiu stood in the middle of the comprehensive training ground, watching the players come over one after another, many people ran over quickly after seeing him out of the training building, some people also came over at a faster pace, but there were also one or two people who were slow and dragged at the back.

It's normal that every team has a different personality and different ideas.

After everyone had arrived, Ye Qiu spoke.

"I have a few words to say before the training session!"

All the players listened silently, staring at their manager.

'First of all, about last night's FA Cup, I'm sorry, but I know that everyone who played gave their best and as I said in my post-match press conference, I'm proud of your performance and I want to tell you that it's over!'

All the players who participated in yesterday's FA Cup semi-finals appeared on the morning training ground, and after listening to Ye Qiu's words, some were relieved, while others were a little embarrassed or even ashamed.

"We have a very intense task ahead, from April 18 to May 13, we have a total of seven games!"

One of those games is the 34th round of the league, which has been postponed due to the FA Cup, plus the other four league games and two Champions League semi-finals against Barcelona, a total of seven games, and the schedule is indeed very dense.

'With such a dense and intense schedule, we can't play all the games with a few players, I need every one of you players on the floor to contribute to the team, and I'm sure you all know and are eager to help the team get through this last wave of challenges and tests.'

Ye Qiu's words have been nodded and affirmed by many players, at least, the sense of belonging to the team, which Tottenham Hotspur has always done quite well, and it is also a link that Ye Qiu has always attached great importance to.

"Guys, I want you to understand that losing the FA Cup is not terrible and we don't have time to feel sorry and guilty because it is a thing of the past and we only have two goals for the next moment, the league title and the Champions League!"

"I want you all to know that in the more than 100-year history of English football's top flight, no team has ever won four consecutive top-flight titles, not even Liverpool and Red Devils, and we now have a chance to break and make that history."

"Also, it's been three years since we last touched the St. Bride Cup in the Champions League, and I'm sure you're all as hungry for it as I am, and we need to show our courage and will to fight for it!"

"I want to tell you, guys, in the next month, these seven games, each game will not only determine your season, but also your life, if you succeed, you will be proud of it for the rest of your life, and if you fail, maybe many, many years later, even when you retire, you will not have the opportunity to make up for this regret!"

Ye Qiu took a deep breath and shook his head, "I won't tell you to fight for the team, you have to fight for the fans, I will only tell you that you have to fight for yourself!" ”

"Finally, I once again, very solemnly, tell you that this season, I must win these two championships!"

"One...... Decide...... Want! ”

Ye Qiu finally spoke word by word, more like a kind of beating and warning to the players, he wanted to use this way to tell his players, this is my idea, you had better be able to keep up, otherwise, I don't dare to guarantee that you will not be left behind by the team.

After Ye Qiu finished speaking, Roland? Shepas stepped in to ease the tension and began to set up his training programme for this morning, the most important of which was the first leg against Barcelona in midweek.

Ye Qiu attaches great importance to the home game of the first leg, and in his words, he wants to eat Barcelona directly at home.

This is really no way, because Tottenham Hotspur will play less than seven games in the next month, and the league points will be chased by Manchester City to only one point, which is very stressful on the team, if you can't eat Barcelona in the first leg, the second game will be a guest at Camp Nou, Ye Qiuzhen doesn't know if the team can play at its best.

That's why Ye Qiu was on the bench and in the youth team at the weekend's FA Cup game, and he wanted to give all the team's main players the best preparation time so that they could go all out after a week and a half of rest to prepare for this key game against Barcelona, which will determine Tottenham Hotspur's European prospects this season.

Tottenham Hotspur have a busy schedule, which is true, but the situation for Barcelona is not good either, due to the tight schedule caused by the European Championships in the summer, especially since La Liga starts later than the Premier League, so by the end of the season, their schedule has become two games a week.

Barcelona currently sit second in La Liga, behind Real Madrid, and play in the 32nd round of La Liga on April 7 away to Zaragoza, at home to Getafe on April 10, away to Levante on April 14 and then to Tottenham Hotspur on April 18.

Judging from this schedule, Barcelona is also very intensive, although Guardiola has also made a lot of rotations to the team, but in order to ensure that the team can continue to compete with Real Madrid in La Liga, Guardiola does not dare to be careless, and several core main players in the team, including Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Van Persie, etc., are also starters.

Therefore, in this battle, after Tottenham Hotspur gave up the FA Cup semi-finals, they were waiting for work and recuperating their energy.

Before the game, almost all the media were paying attention to this key game, and almost all commentators believed that Tottenham Hotspur would definitely do their best to attack in this game, while Barcelona would continue to adopt front-court suppression tactics and fiercely suppress Tottenham Hotspur, and strive to get a certain advantage away.

Although Cruyff, the godfather of Barcelona, did not have a good relationship with Rusell, he also pointed out in his column before the game that the most important thing about Barcelona's away trip was not to allow Tottenham Hotspur to play a smooth attack.

"Barcelona has always had problems with their own defense, if Tottenham Hotspur is allowed to play a smooth attack, then this game is very hanging, so the key focus of this game is to suppress, whether Barcelona suppresses Tottenham Hotspur, or Tottenham Hotspur uses attack to suppress Barcelona, this is the biggest suspense!"

However, Cruyff still believes that Barcelona still have a chance to win if they can make the most of their possession.

After all, you're selling Yaya? Toure, Cesc Fabregas and David? After Silva, Tottenham Hotspur have been somewhat weakened in terms of possession, with the combination of Ramsey, Vidal and Andrea Pirlo still falling short of possession compared to last season's combination. There has been a lot of rotation, but in order to ensure that the team can continue to compete with Real Madrid in La Liga, Guardiola does not dare to be careless, and several core players in the team, including Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Van Persie, etc., are also starters.
