Benitez's life is not easy, his time at Liverpool is like Wang Xiaoer's New Year, every year is not as good as the year.

From his imposing appearance in the Premier League at the beginning of his career, to his victory over Ye Qiu's Chelsea and winning the Champions League, he reached the peak of his life that year and the peak of Liverpool in recent years

But after that, he started to go downhill, for his own reasons, as well as the team and other factors.

All along, even now, he still feels that he is not really so familiar with and understands the Premier League, because many of the things that happen here, many of the contradictions that arise here, are incomprehensible to him, and this place is always full of games between capital and football.

Professional football is not simple, he understands that, but the Premier League is even more so.

Over the years, he has been improving Liverpool almost every season, he knows very well what he wants, he has a very, very clear context in his mind, but the problem is that this context sometimes seems to be very close to him, and many times it can be achieved by even bringing in a player, but when he got this player, he realized that it was so far away from him, so far away.

The first half of last season was the closest he felt to the title, his team had been leading the Premier League for a long time, he felt that everyone in the team was getting better and better, and all the players seemed to understand his intentions overnight, but later, when it came to the Christmas and winter break, Liverpool ushered in the embarrassment of consecutive draws, and he found him wrong.

Ye Qiu once commented on him during a private communication, thinking that he was a tactical genius who even Ye Qiu was ashamed of, but he was a complete otaku in terms of instilling his own tactical concepts in the players and communicating with the players.

Sometimes thinking about it, Benitez really envies Ye Qiu, at least everything seems to be going well with him, but Benitez himself clearly knows that Ye Qiu's smoothness is not because he is lucky, but because he is always planning ahead.

There are many ways to solve problems in this world, and waiting for problems to arise and then slowly finding a way to solve them is the worst one; The problem has not yet appeared, so be prepared to solve it first, which is a more moderate one; There is also a kind of waiting for the appearance of the problem, you directly kill him in the bed in advance, which is the most ideal one.

From Ye Qiu's pre-match interview when he mentioned that the most important thing for Tottenham Hotspur this season is to build a good team's defensive system, Benitez clearly knew that Tottenham Hotspur this season will be stronger than before, the reason is very simple, because Ye Qiu finally decided to adjust the old problem of heavy attack and light defense

Balanced offense and defense is a real strong team

Some people may think, wow, it's simple, adjust the defense, it's a big deal to introduce excellent defenders, adjust the tacit understanding, isn't it done? With the current strength and financial resources of Tottenham Hotspur, it is not a problem to bring in anyone

This is a philistine statement, the really top coaches will not do this kind of thing, just like Ferguson, he doesn't bring in defenders casually, the reason is very simple, on the surface, the midfield is the stage of superstars, but the midfield is the most money-burning place.

The adjustment is divided into soft and hard, the former is more gentle, the latter is more rushing, the former is calmer, and the latter is more likely to cause waves, so as long as a fan knows the way, it must be soft adjustment, that is, on the basis of the existing player framework, without large-scale changes to the team's overall technical and tactical framework, adjust the team's defense.

It's simple and brutal to make a hard adjustment, take out the money, throw in reinforcements, and then build a strong defensive system, but in this way, once the defense and midfield are not compatible, the team immediately collapses and polarizes, and then it can only completely overturn the rebuild, just like Ferguson did this season.

According to the current situation of Tottenham Hotspur, if you want to reorganize a defensive system, it is impossible to complete it without taking out 100 million transfer funds, so from Ye Qiu's point of view, he has to save this 100 million, and it is not worth spending at all.

Soft adjustment is the test of Ye Qiu and his coaching staff, because soft adjustment needs to consider more aspects.

To give the simplest example, Tottenham Hotspur has been lacking a strong center forward since Ruud van Nistelrooy left the team two years ago, so they rely heavily on pulling and interspersing in positional warfare, which is not wrong in itself, but this is a kind of trick, you blindly play with this trick, at first the opponent will be pulled by you to play, but later, everyone is familiar with it, they are all used to it, how can you continue?

Last season's Gareth Bale's emergence must have given Ye Qiu a lot of stimulation, because the Welsh winger is completely different from Ribery and Messi, he has almost no tricks, and he relies entirely on hard power to impact the opponent's defense, and as a result, everyone has seen that Tottenham Hotspur's attack power has skyrocketed.

With the strong rise of Tottenham Hotspur, more and more teams will adopt cautious defensive tactics when facing north London teams, especially for their weaknesses and deficiencies to arrange troops, and even capable teams will do everything possible to consume Tottenham Hotspur, because you have to play positional warfare, you have to intersperse and pull, then you have to press my 30-meter area.

This is also known as high-intensity pressing and pressing in midfield.

But don't think that as long as the overall movement is handled well, the physical consumption will be small, wrong, once the opponent is interested in spending time with you, Tottenham Hotspur's physical fitness is also difficult to maintain the whole game, and even you can start the game, and in the middle of the season, you will also fall into a physical crisis, and then you will still have to be crippled by the opponent's counterattack again and again.

Maybe someone else said, can I relax the oppression?

Yes, if you relax the press, Messi, Ribery and others will have to be forced to retreat and stay away from the threat area, which will cause Ribery and Messi to be less lethal, and it is not good for Tottenham Hotspur's forward running and passing and receiving coordination, and the retreat means that your midfielders have a greater range of movement

This seems like a very inexplicable serial set, right?

But in Benitez's opinion, at least in this game against Liverpool, Benitez can see that Ye Qiu has found a solution, that is, to use a strong center forward to impact the opponent's defense head-on and act as a weapon for the team to attack the city.

Just like in this game, with Falcao attacking Liverpool's defense in front, Messi, Ribery, David Silva and Cesc Fabregas have no need to press too high, because even if they don't press as much as they did in the past, Liverpool's defense still doesn't dare to press up, because there is a strong center forward.

As long as Ribery and Messi can retreat appropriately, Tottenham Hotspur's entire midfield can also retreat appropriately, and the backfield can naturally move back, so that it can completely organize an effective overall chain defense and produce a new round of overall defensive effect.

So, what are the benefits of the new defensive system?

It's very simple, because Tottenham Hotspur's defense is not so pressed, the previous routine of placing an efficient fulcrum center forward in the front court, waiting for the ball to break off in the backfield and then quickly long pass counterattack will be difficult to work again, and this, Benitez thinks, Ye Qiu was influenced by Ferguson.

Ferguson has brought in Benzema, Tevez and Rooney this season to form a new trident, to put it bluntly, he is going to take this path, and he will continue to follow the previous passing and cutting route of Manchester United, not the passing and control route of Barcelona, let alone the route of combining passing and cutting and control that Ye Qiu admires.

Because this path is best for Manchester United, Ferguson has laid a solid foundation over the past few years, and all that is needed now is the right changes in personnel and to help the players integrate into the team, so overall the price to pay is the least, but the possible gain is the richest.

If there is a team that has gained the most in the transfer market this year, it must be Manchester United

As for Liverpool, Benitez can only see a move now, because after selling Xavi Alonso, looking at the entire European football scene, who dares to say that he will be able to find a midfielder who can directly fill the gap of Xavi Alonso?

Didn't you see Ye Qiu selling forwards and defenders, is he killing Fabregas and David Silva?

The reason is simple, the midfield is key

And in this game, Liverpool's defeat was in the midfield

For this, Benitez is also powerless, the midfield is disorderly, especially before the first half is over, Tottenham Hotspur directly scored four goals for you as soon as he came up, completely stunned Liverpool, Benitez is also powerless about it.

In the second half, although he made further adjustments to strengthen the team's midfield defense and protection, it was still useless, and Tottenham Hotspur was clearly very confident and confident from top to bottom, and finally Ribery scored two more goals.

No one expected that in the first round of the new season, the Reds Liverpool would be humiliated by Tottenham Hotspur by such a big score at White Hart Lane, and Benitez hung his head throughout the game, sitting in the coach's box, thinking about some questions with a blank face, because he could predict what greeted him after this game.

Perhaps, he should thank Torres, because the Spaniard also pulled a goal back for Liverpool in 05, which somewhat saved Liverpool's face, but overall, it was a big rout, a big disaster.

It was also at this moment that Benitez really realized that Ye Qiu was right, Liverpool was no longer the bitter master of Tottenham Hotspur, relying on his Liverpool team without a midfielder, and he didn't expect to be able to adjust Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur beat Liverpool at home.

Manchester United beat Birmingham City 0 at home.

Arsenal made a hard-fought comeback at Everton.

Chelsea beat Hull City in an awkward home defeat.

With the start of the first round of the Premier League, the eyes of fans all over the world have been focused on England.

The most eye-catching team in the first round was Tottenham Hotspur, who beat Liverpool in a big win over Liverpool, and almost all the world's media called this game an epic victory, especially in the first round of the league to play such a wonderful and eye-catching attacking football, which made everyone praise.

A considerable amount of the coverage of Tottenham Hotspur's big win over Liverpool has been devoted to Romedal Falcao, a young Colombian centre-forward who was an instant hit, but he was not the best player of the game.

After the first round of the Premier League, the best player in the first round of the Premier League went to Messi, because the Argentine star not only provided three assists and scored a hat-trick of assists, but also scored a goal of his own, and he dominated four of them alone, and his performance was very eye-catching.

The Argentine superstar, who came close to moving to Manchester City this summer, scored just one goal in the opening round of the new season, but his tactical value on the pitch is clearly heavier than last season, not only in attack, but also in tandem midfield.

In the words of Martin Samuel in his column, "He was at Tottenham Hotspur in the face of what Maradona was only able to do in Naples"

The number of goals is less, but Messi's attention and repercussions are greater, and Ye Qiu also repeatedly said in an interview with the media after the game that the team will help Messi determine his own development path again, because goals do not represent all of a player.

"All the great players, what makes people remember and impress is because of his good performance on the football pitch and not just his goals, that's what I said to Messi"

As for Falcao, who has newly joined the team but has shown a sudden appearance, several players in the Tottenham Hotspur team have also given high praise and appreciation, especially Messi, who is regarded by many as being the exclusion of Falcao, he even said, "Falcao is an outstanding player, he joined Tottenham Hotspur and brought us a boost in strength, I think it's good, with him, we can score more easily"

In addition, there are two other teams that will stand out in the opening round of the league are Manchester City and West Ham United.

Both are big-spending teams, with Manchester City and West Ham both beating their opponents 0, but neither team has been too impressive, especially Manchester City, where Mark Hughes has clearly become City's biggest obstacle.

Claudio Ranieri is familiar with the Premier League, so his West Ham United are unremarkable, but the game process is solid, and he has won three points with a consistent performance, which deserves recognition and a good start to the new season

Because of the impact of the 10-year South African World Cup, the Premier League schedule for the new season should be appropriately compressed, so after the first round of the league, the second round will be played directly in midweek, and Tottenham Hotspur will challenge Hull City away.

The team, who had just cornered Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, returned to their home turf to welcome Tottenham Hotspur, and Phil Brown vowed before the game that he would try to beat them at home.

But no one expected that Tottenham Hotspur would once again defeat Hull City in a clean L.

But that's not the most terrifying thing to everyone, what really shocked everyone was that Romedal Falcao scored another hat-trick to lead the Premier League scorer chart with six goals in two consecutive league games.

All the fans, journalists and professionals in the world were shocked, if they were given a scalpel, the most they wanted to do now would be to cut open Romedal Falcao's head and find out what was in the center's head.

Scoring a hat-trick in two rounds in a row is a feat, especially at the level of the Premier League, which is incredible, but he did it, and not the kind that was difficult to score, but he went in with ease.

He scored a hat-trick in the first half against Liverpool in the last game, this time a little longer, and in the 55th minute of the second half, he scored his third goal of the game.

With six goals in two rounds, Falcao has almost all risen in surprising ways in the new season, especially after playing Hull City, where he was voted Player of the Match and became the Premier League Player of the Round, almost overnight becoming the object of praise and admiration from fans all over the world.

The other two goals for Tottenham Hotspur were Lionel Messi and Cesc Fabregas.

But there are also many media who believe that Falcao's goalscoring momentum is only temporary, for the simple reason that Messi, Ribery, Cesc Fabregas and David Silva have scored goals and assists, and they have been in contact with each other, which is also part of the Tottenham Hotspur teamwork in the past, but in the first two rounds of the season, although he scored six goals, he did not have an assist.

Of course, during the game, he also tried many times to make balls for Messi and Ribery or other teammates, but the effect was obviously average, not to mention compared with the previous Van Persie, even with Cavani, he was inferior in this regard.

Therefore, many experts believe that no one can take him with such a strong momentum of goals, but once he can't score, all the criticism and accusations will be overwhelming, and at that time, it will be the real test for him and Tottenham Hotspur.

For this kind of remarks, Ye Qiu, who topped the Premier League standings with two consecutive wins, didn't pay attention to it at all, he felt that everyone didn't need to dwell on this unknown whether it would definitely happen, and everyone should pay more attention to enjoying the current football.

As for Manchester United, which overturned in the gutter in this round of away games and lost 0l to promoted Burnley, Ye Qiu did not forget to fall into Ferguson, "I hope that whenever I look back in the future, I can't see Manchester United's name in the standings"

"Because they fell too far"

Who made Tottenham Hotspur perform badly at the beginning, and Ferguson, the old boy, gloated

But it was no surprise that rivals Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool all won back-to-back, with Claudio Ranieri's West Ham United also winning and Mark Hughes' Manchester City losing 0 at home to Everton.

In the third round of the league, Tottenham Hotspur welcomed West Ham United
