Chapter 825: Genius Processing Factory
When Tottenham Hotspur defeated Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich 5-1 on aggregate from Munich to advance to the semi-finals and return to London, they were immediately greeted like heroes by the entire London fans.
At this time, the media also reported on this game, and newspapers such as The Times, The Guardian and the Daily Mail have successively published the details before and after the game, and one of them has attracted the attention of fans, that is, the pre-match tactical preparation for this game is Mauro? Tasotti is done.
Tottenham Hotspur fans were relieved by the news, not just because the team won, but because Mauro? Tassotti's test reassured all Tottenham Hotspur fans, at least he proved his quality and helped Tottenham beat Bayern Munich.
The release of this news is an intentional move by Tottenham Hotspur officials, and it is also specially arranged by Ye Qiu. Tasotti created momentum, provided him with the legitimacy to coach the team, and allowed him to win the recognition and affirmation of the fans, so that he could get the support of the fans and players after taking over the team.
It should be said that over the past year or so, Mauro? Tasotti has done a good job in all aspects, the players are very supportive of him, and the impression and attitude of the fans towards him is getting better and better, but conversely, the more the fans support him, the higher the expectations of him. For Tasotti, it's not all good.
After returning to London from Munich, Tottenham Hotspur immediately headed north to take on Wigan Athletic.
This time, Ye Qiu arranged the rotation again, almost changing the lineup of the team to play Bayern Munich, but in the end, it was still in the FA Cup semi-finals, defeating Wigan Athletic 2:0 away, and advancing to the final.
Tottenham Hotspur face Hull City in the FA Cup final, who are currently 16th in the Premier League and one step away from the relegation zone.
In midweek, in the 34th round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur slaughtered West Bromwich Albion 6:0 away.
After losing their unbeaten league record and winning streak, Tottenham Hotspur have played a crazy attacking tally in the last two rounds, scoring eleven goals in two games, which is undoubtedly a very powerful slap in the face for those teams who previously suspected Tottenham Hotspur's declining form.
But this is just the beginning, three days later, sitting at Stratford Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur beat London team Fulham 4-0, this game Tottenham Hotspur is still playing with a full bench lineup, Mitrovic started as the main center forward, scored two goals, a very eye-catching young player.
After the match against Fulham, Tottenham Hotspur travelled to Madrid, the capital of Spain, to take on Atletico Madrid away.
…………
…………
Diego? Simeone, the coach of Atletico Madrid, wears a black suit, a white shirt inside, a black tie, and black and white all over his body, as if he is integrated, which is very in line with the feeling that Simeone gives people.
Half of them like him and love him, and the other half hate him and hate him.
In fact, Simeone has always been a very contradictory person since his career, especially after the 98 World Cup in France and the national idol Beckham was red-carded, Simeone gave a very negative impression, especially for Beckham's fans, Simeone is even more evil.
Atletico Madrid's style of play is exactly the same as Simeone's characteristics when he played, cunning and brutality but not losing delicacy.
In the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, Atletico Madrid played Barcelona away, and in the seventh minute, there was a picture that could very clearly interpret the characteristics of Simeone and Atletico Madrid.
A long pass from the back of Atletico Madrid at the time, Diego? Costa and Pique are battling it out for a header, Diego? Costa scrambled to jam the first point, and Pique rushed up from behind, trying to get a break from Diego? Costa jumped up behind him to fight, but at this time Diego? Costa suddenly bent over, and Pique, who had supported part of his weight on him after jumping, lost his balance, and the whole person fell to the court at once.
This fall directly threw the Barcelona central defender out of the game, cracked his hip bone, and was suspended for a month.
If you look at the whole process, I believe that different people will have different opinions, first of all, there is indeed a disturbance Diego after Pique jumps? Costa's jumping motion even supported part of his weight on his body, and Diego? Costa, as an opponent, didn't let Pique hold him up, so he broke free, no problem.
But do you know that in the vast majority of cases, many players will not make a similar appearance to Diego? Costa is such a choice, because they are well aware that in this case, the risk is uncontrollable, so they will retain a little room to think about their opponents, but Diego? Costa apparently not.
After breaking free from Pique, he still looked at ease after the latter fell to the ground, and it must be said that he may not have really known that Pique had fallen so hard, but this did not prevent the live camera from focusing on him all the time.
Why is this picture interesting and a good illustration of Simeone and Atletico Madrid?
Is it because of Diego? Costa's action is very cunning, but also very brutal, even despicable.
However, you just don't have anything to do with him, he will do everything to torment you in the game, so that you can't play your strength and level well, but he will also take the initiative to release kindness to you in the game, or find you to reconcile after the game, which belongs to the type that you want to beat him to death, but you can't move him.
Diego? Costa is arguably Simeone's favorite genre for the simple reason that he and his Atletico Madrid are like that.
In terms of lineup, Atletico Madrid's deck of cards is put out, no one thinks they can make a difference in La Liga, but they are now the leaders of La Liga, round tactics, Atletico Madrid's positional ability is not to mention that it is compared with the Spanish Super League or Tottenham Hotspur, even if it is compared with Dortmund Derby, it is much worse.
This compares with Atletico Madrid's average possession rate in La Liga of just 47. 5%, even worse than some relegation teams, with an average of 413 passes per game, La Liga is in ninth place, only 63% of Barcelona's average passes per game, and the pass success rate is only 75. 1%, which is eleventh in La Liga.
From this series of numbers, it can be seen that Atletico Madrid's positional attack is indeed quite bad, but interestingly, their average running distance per game is very good, and the tackles are also quite amazing, far ahead of La Liga, and second only to Dortmund in the Champions League.
But there is one thing that Atletico Madrid deserves, and that is that they have a total of more than 150 fouls and 23 yellow cards, both of which are the best in the Europa League, but interestingly, they have no red cards.
This is the cunning Atletico Madrid brought out by the cunning Simeone!
You can call a team like this rude, you can accuse them of being mean, but you can't do anything about them, and even if you are influenced and interfered with by them, then you are likely to lose the game against them.
Simeone and his Atletico Madrid belong to the type of fans who love to death and non-fans hate to death.
In this game against Tottenham Hotspur, Simeone knows very well that they have no advantages in attack, defense, ball possession, and running distance, and the only advantage is to fight and grab.
Therefore, at the beginning of the game, Atletico Madrid grabbed very fiercely, although Tottenham Hotspur controlled the ball in hand, and pressed up, but there was no way to form an effective scoring opportunity, Atletico Madrid can be said to be stuck in its own half, especially in the 30-meter area, as long as the ball enters, basically either whistle or be broken, just two results.
Although this game is an away game, Tottenham Hotspur still adopts the 4231 style of play, but from the perspective of the course of the game, the game is not ideal, so after ten minutes of the game, Ye Qiu made the first adjustment since the opening.
"Let Ribery and Neymar both pull to the wing, move close to the wing, let go of the middle, and retreat more!"
"Let Nemanja Matic sit in midfield and drag him back, and Ramsey will be a little bit more forward!"
"Lewandowski is at the front, Messi is free to play in midfield!"
"The full-backs are more forward, create as many one-on-one opportunities as possible on the side, help Ribery and Neymar eat the opponent in one-on-one, and cut inside to find Messi in the bottom cross, they will do it!"
With Ye Qiu's series of adjustments, the situation on the field immediately changed, Tottenham Hotspur, which was originally in a 4231 formation, looked more like 41311, and the three in the middle were Neymar, Ramsey and Ribery, and the three of them stood in a shallow saucer position, surrounding Messi and Lewandowski in front.
Ramsey started the game as the main midfielder, and the Welshman showed that he had to be as diligent and hard as ever, in addition to playing a role in attack, he was also very active in defense and covered a wide area, plus a Nemanja Matic, Tottenham Hotspur's two midfielders covered a large area.
Ramsey runs in front to cover and intercept and press, and Nemanja Matic is responsible for checking and filling in the gaps behind him, especially when the team breaks the ball in the front court and switches between attack and defense, Matic can always get stuck in time and cut off Atletico Madrid's counter-attacking route.
Ye Qiu's series of adjustments actually have only one purpose, that is, to open up space, create more space, and create more one-on-one opportunities, and give full play to the advantages of Tottenham Hotspur's players. Walker is also very good on the wings and has a very good ability to plug in assists.
As soon as they adjusted, Tottenham Hotspur immediately got a chance to counter-attack.
The two sides fought very fiercely in the midfield, the ball was exchanged back and forth several times, and Marcelo returned to defend once and faced the opponent's Raul? Garcia, who wanted to pass the ball but was cut off by Marcelo with his foot up, and then the Brazilian defender grabbed Raul? Garcia stabbed his foot before, and he quickly rushed forward to shake off Raul? Garcia.
Neymar pulled over to receive Marcelo's pass, but instead of getting rid of Juanfran with the ball himself, he pushed the ball straight behind Juanfrán, and saw Marcelo cut and forcibly overtook him, straight behind Juanfrán, and wanted to directly impact the opponent's penalty area after receiving the ball.
Back Gabi quickly pasted over, Marcelo saw Messi, also saw Lewandowski, and saw Ribery on the right side is also plugged in, he can have a lot of options, but the Brazilian chose the worst at this time, that is, he took the ball to break through Gabi, but the ball was broken by Gabi, and Atletico Madrid played a counterattack.
Ye Qiu was very dissatisfied with Marcelo's handling of the ball this time, and after seeing Matic destroy the ball, he walked to the sidelines and shouted at Marcelo who was running back slowly, "Hey, what are you thinking about?" If you lose it, you lose it, hurry back to defense, what are you rubbing? ”
Marcelo, who was originally worried about being reprimanded by Ye Qiu, immediately nodded to the head coach, raised his left hand, grinned, and ran back quickly, facing Raul from the side? Garcia made a tackle, and even the man dribbled the ball Raul? Garcia fell to the ground.
"Hey, Marcelo, you tap!" Ye Qiu was still not satisfied, this action was too fierce, and it was easy to get the card.
Mauro? Tasotti looked at Ye Qiu's command from the side and smiled, "Now that the shape has gradually become clear, Atletico Madrid is probably going to take a breath, don't be so nervous!" ”
Ye Qiu snorted and shook his head with a smile, "This kid is like a naughty monkey, if you don't put some pressure on him, it's really not good, so it's best to put a golden hoop on him and restrict him!" ”
Marcelo was hidden by Ye Qiuxue for a few games, especially away to Bayern Munich, Ye Qiu would rather go to Azpilicueta than him, which made Marcelo feel the pressure, and Azpilicueta also played very steadily in the left-back position, although the offensive ability was poor, but the defense was quite good.
So after Marcelo returned to the starting line-up in this game, he was very active.
Nemanja Matic at the back, plus Thiago behind him? The world's leading centre-back duo of Silva and Vincent Kompany has made Marcelo and Kyle the best defenders. Walker was able to press up and participate in the offense with relative confidence.
In this game, Atletico Madrid's containment and pressure on the midfield were in place, so Ye Qiu focused on attacking the wings, using Marcelo and Kele? Walker's aggressive insertion of the attack and the completion of the ball progress, but on several occasions in front, Atletico Madrid's defense was quite good, and Tottenham Hotspur struggled to hold the ball and create chances in the front court.
Especially Messi, Gabi and Thiago are almost all focused on taking care of him, so Messi has to expand his range of activities and actively retreat to participate in the reception of the midfield.
Marcelo took the ball on the left side, took two steps forward against the left sideline, and saw Messi running back from the front in the middle, so he passed the ball diagonally to Messi, but Messi saw that Gabi also ran back with him, so he pushed the ball directly to the left side without stopping the ball and gave it to Neymar.
Neymar stuck to the left sideline, saw the ball coming, stopped the ball in front of him, and quickly chased it, while Juanfran was also following Neymar to retreat, and behind the Brazilian winger was Raul, who retreated to defense? Garcia, running with Juanfran and Neymar one after the other.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the bottom line, and had entered the left side of the penalty area, Neymar realized that he couldn't go any further, and suddenly his right shoulder sank, and the whole person turned from the original bottom to the inside, and his right foot still controlled the ball very well.
Juanfran realized that something was wrong, and immediately changed his center of gravity, following Neymar to transfer, midfielder Gabi also returned to the defense at this time, and he and Juanfran hit Neymar before and after the left sideline of the penalty area.
I saw that although the Brazilian had people on the left and right, he was not panicked at all, but a sudden sudden brake, which scared Gabi and Juanfran to follow a sharp stop, but he suddenly kicked the ball into the penalty area, and he quickly sprinted from the middle of the two players, and directly rushed away from the bag of the two defenders.
After passing three players in a row, Neymar regained the ball on the left side of the penalty area, and at this time he saw Lewandowski pointing behind Atletico Madrid centre-back Godin, Neymar understood and attracted the attention of Miranda and the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper, and picked up a left-footed cross.
The ball went past the opponent's goalkeeper, over Godin's head, and fell to the back post, and Lewandowski quickly slipped behind Godin, jumped high, and met the ball, the ball hit Lewandowski's forehead, and crashed into the goal of Atletico Madrid, 1:0!
"The ball is in!!!!"
"Tottenham Hotspur! Tottenham Hotspur finally scored!!! ”
"In the twenty-eighth minute, the game went on for a full twenty-eight minutes, Tottenham Hotspur finally knocked on the goal of Atletico Madrid, a cross from Neymar, Lewandowski nodded the ball and scored, 1:0!!"
The entire Calderón stadium was fried, and the fans of Atletico Madrid were in an uproar, looking at the scoreboard of the stadium in disbelief, from the original 0:0 to 0:1, and in the stadium below, the Tottenham Hotspur players in white jerseys had already rushed out of the stadium to celebrate.
Lewandowski rushed to the sidelines and directly knelt in celebration, while the Tottenham Hotspur teammates next to him pounced one by one and surrounded the group in the middle.
The live TV camera kept repeating Neymar's series of passing moves on the side just now, he passed the opponent's three players in one go, and then calmly cooperated with Lewandowski to pick up the back point, this awareness and composure is indeed very commendable, and his individual ability is also quite good!
Ye Qiu is on the sidelines with Mauro? Tasotti and Roland? Shepas high-fived in celebration, which has become his signature celebratory move, and his heart is also satisfied with Neymar's appearance this time, not only him, from Mauro? In Tassoti's eyes, Ye Qiu also understood the appreciation.
Even if the team really sold Messi this summer, even if Ribery is thirty-one years old and his form has really declined, the team is still Hazzard, Neymar, and Lucas? Moura, as well as talented youngsters in the academy such as Januzaj.
Perhaps, Peter? De Visel is right when he says that we at Tottenham Hotspur are never short of talent, because we are the genius processing plant! Atletico Delhi's goal, a cross from Neymar, Lewandowski nodded the ball and scored, 1:0!! ”
