Chapter 646 is worse than rotten

With the strong rise of Tottenham Hotspur, the north London derby has become the focus of London fans' attention, and as the two teams with the most gorgeous style of play in the Premier League in the past few seasons, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur will never disappoint, just like the first leg, who would have thought that Tottenham Hotspur would slaughter Arsenal with nine goals?

Arsene Wenger's side quickly recovered from that humiliating defeat and are still battling for a top-four finish in the league, and when the second leg of the north London derby heading into Arsene Wenger said before the game that the first Premier League clash between the two sides did not cast a shadow on Arsenal.

"We learned a lot from that game!" Arsene Wenger used a strong sense of confidence to tell everyone that that the fiasco was a thing of the past and that Arsenal would not let the same tragedy happen again, even if this time it was at White Hart Lane to take on Tottenham Hotspur.

Not only that, Wenger also criticized Ye Qiu before the game, thinking that Tottenham Hotspur sold Yaya? Toure will be Ye Qiu's biggest mistake, even if this deal is the player's initiative to apply for a transfer, but Ye Qiu can stay until the summer and then sell.

"I can understand the approach of Tottenham Hotspur and Ye Qiu, selling during the winter break and waiting until the summer to sell, it may be two completely different prices, but I want to say, there is Yaya? Toure's Tottenham Hotspur have the ability to compete for all the titles, including the Premier League and the Champions League, without Yaya? Tottenham Hotspur of Toure is not scary at all! ”

For the young player Phil, who has attracted a lot of attention from the English media in the past period of time and has a mixed reputation? Jones and Pogba, Wenger has his own opinion, "These two players are very good young rookies, but you know, they are only seventeen or eighteen years old, do you want them to replace Yaya in a short period of time? The role of Toure, that's impossible! ”

"Phil? Jones has the rare temperament of an English player and is always passionate, but he is still too far from a first-team mainstay, especially for a team aiming to challenge for the league title and the Champions League, as is Paul Pogba, who is impressive physically and technically, but they are still too young. ”

"If you're going to ask me how to beat Tottenham Hotspur, I'm telling you now that before the winter break, there is almost no weakness in this team, but after the winter break, the midfielder position is their weakness, and whoever takes advantage of that will be able to beat this team!" Arsene Wenger has plenty of signs of being a fan of his Premier League peers.

Perhaps it should be said that he will do anything that can cause trouble for Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur.

Arsene Wenger didn't just say that, he proved himself in this north London derby, his side launched a rush from the opening kick-off, and used Arteta to pull Phil away in the fourth minute. Jones, Nasri on the left side cut diagonally behind the defense, Walcott drove straight into the form of a single goal, 1:0!

The first goal was scored in just four minutes, which seemed to have the idea of slaughtering Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane, and Wenger was also a suave style, standing in the command area in front of the away team's dugout, directing the game, looking very victorious.

But soon, Tottenham Hotspur switched colours.

As early as when playing Roma, many people felt that Tottenham Hotspur's defense was very problematic, even if it was Phil, who looked good? Jones, on the defensive end, especially as the main defender, is very average defensively, and Ye Qiu himself criticized it in an interview with the media after the game.

But it doesn't matter if the defense is not good, Tottenham Hotspur attack well, use the attack to suppress the opponent, this is also a tactic.

In this game, Ye Qiu did not arrange Fabregas to retreat, but decided to adopt an offensive game strategy, advancing the ball to the wings, passing through the midfield through Alves and Alba, who started in place of Marcelo, and then handed over to Messi, Fabregas and Ribery to complete the front-court attack.

Therefore, after conceding the goal four minutes after the opening, Tottenham Hotspur did not panic at all, after Arsenal just celebrated the goal, the game restarted, and even the live broadcast of Sky TV was still repeatedly replaying the whole process of the goal just now, Andy? Gray has even been harshly criticizing Phil for losing his position? At the time of Jones, Tottenham Hotspur equalised.

Alba on the left side shifted to the right side with a big foot, Alves quickly dribbled the ball to the right foot of the Arsenal penalty area, pushed behind Klich, Messi shook off Koscielny in the penalty area, shook off the chasing Koscielny, pushed the goal, equalized for Tottenham Hotspur, 1:1!

"Beautiful goal! A crucial goal! "Andy? Gray spoke highly of Tottenham's goal, "Just conceded and the morale of the team suffered, but soon took advantage of an attack and equalised, Tottenham Hotspur now put all the pressure on Arsenal. ”

"Haha, now Tottenham Hotspur's meaning is obvious, you come to attack, if you score a goal for me, I will definitely return a goal for you, see who is better than who's attack!"

"You know, Tottenham Hotspur's attacking ability is second to none in the entire European football scene, so far this season, except for Liverpool, no team has dared to play against Tottenham Hotspur without suffering!"

This is undoubtedly Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur's biggest bargaining chip!

Arsene Wenger looked like he was really planning to go toe-to-toe with Tottenham Hotspur, and the two sides began a fast-paced, quick-switching affair, but it only lasted for more than ten minutes, and in the 22nd minute, it was Nasri who won the ball on the left and shook off the overly snatched Phil? Jones, with a powerful left-footed volley, scored again, 2:1!

After taking the lead again this time, Arsenal began to consciously invest more troops in defence, and Arsene Wenger also made timely adjustments, aiming at Tottenham Hotspur's flank advance, and making full preparations on the wings.

Ye Qiu was not in a hurry this time, after losing the ball, he walked to the sidelines and signaled the team to stabilize first, take your time, and not be in a hurry.

For their team's attack, whether it is Ye Qiu or Tottenham Hotspur fans are very confident, after all, in the past few seasons, Tottenham Hotspur has been the most attacking team in the Premier League, and the role of Messi, Ribery, Cavani, David? With attacking players such as Silva and Cesc Fabregas, Tottenham Hotspur's attacking power is unquestionable.

So Ye Qiu's strategy is to stabilize the situation first, especially the team's defense.

A lot of people say that offense is the best defense, but there is a premise for this, and that is that your defense should not be too bad.

If an attacking player scores one in front and loses one behind you when you turn around, it is a very big blow to morale, and no matter how good and sharp the attack is, you can't afford to squander and waste it like this.

The two goals conceded were in the area at the top of the arc, either through the penalty area or directly at the goal, Phil? Jones can't get out of the relationship, so Ye Qiu is also directly on the sidelines to Phil? Jones let out a snort, feeling the kid had been deceived by Arsenal's attacking players too easily, and had conceded a crucial position at the top of the box too easily.

For Phil? Jones's character, Ye Qiu also knows something, at least he doesn't feel that his kind of snort will make him lose his fighting spirit, or lack self-confidence, because this kid is a typical example of bursting self-confidence, even excessive, don't worry about his self-confidence at all, any blow will not affect him.

Ye Qiu's shouting on the sidelines, as well as the suppression of the fullbacks' participation in the attack, made Tottenham Hotspur's defense solid, after all, the two fullbacks stayed, so the backline can draw up manpower to help Phil in the midfield when necessary? Jones protects the front of the big penalty area.

But while stabilizing the defense, the team's offense was also contained, and the scene began to turn from the original offensive battle to a stalemate.

"According to the character of Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur, they will not give up, there is still enough time in the first half, just one goal behind, and they are fully capable of equalizing!" Andy? Gray felt that Ye Qiu was waiting for the opportunity.

Wenger himself knew that Ye Qiu was brewing an offensive, so he kept adjusting the team on the sidelines.

From the 35th minute, Tottenham Hotspur seized the opportunity to break the ball in front of the field and began to launch a fierce attack on Arsenal's defense again and again, especially the back line pressed directly forward, suppressing Arsenal in the half, setting off a wave of frenzied attacks.

Arsene Wenger may have grasped Tottenham's weakness, but his Arsenal is not riddled with holes?

With his scum-like backline, do you really want to hit head-on and be able to block Tottenham Hotspur's attack?

As it turns out, no, and simply impossible!

Forty minutes later, in less than three minutes, Tottenham Hotspur scored two goals in a row thanks to goals from Cavani and Cesc Fabregas, and before half-time, completed a reversal against Arsenal to rewrite the score to 3:2!

"Crazy, my God, whether it is Tottenham Hotspur or Arsenal, the holes and weaknesses of the defense have been completely exposed, and it is difficult for them to block the opponent's attack at all!"

Andy? Gray is even speculating whether the second half will adopt a similar offensive game of "you score a goal and I score a goal?" Or will both sides adjust their tactics appropriately?

It turned out that Ye Qiu sneaked into Arsenal at the beginning of the second half, using Messi to burst into the penalty area, past Zhulu and then picked up a pass, Cavani followed up with a header into the goal, further expanding the score to 4:2!

After gaining enough advantages, Ye Qiu began to play defensive counterattacks and consciously strengthen his team's defense, for example, Ye Qiu replaced David with Beckham from the sixtieth minute? Silva, let Beckham and Phil? Jones formed a double midfielder and was rooted in front of the defence.

During the game, Beckham kept directing Phil? Jones is teaching him how to run, how to help defend, when to grab and when to steady, and he himself is to protect the front of the team's big penalty area.

A veteran is a veteran, and even if Beckham doesn't have any convincing top-notch quality at the back, he's an experienced veteran and well-informed, so it's easy to coach newcomers.

Not only that, but Beckham's role is also reflected in many ways, such as how often he helps Kyle after training sessions? Walker and other interested players practice long balls, crosses and free-kicks, Kyle? Walker's crosses have improved a lot, after all, this skill has been honed through hard work.

Wenger also realized Ye Qiu's thoughts and calculations after seeing Beckham play, and he also knew very well that his back line was bad and weak, and he couldn't stop Tottenham Hotspur's attack at all, if he continued to do his best to attack, Tottenham Hotspur's counterattack would only continue to cause Arsenal to concede.

And if you don't do your best, how do you break down the Tottenham Hotspur goal?

…………

…………

The north London derby ended with Tottenham Hotspur beating Arsenal 4-2 at their home turf.

For this game, the evaluation given by the outside media is not high, and it can even be said to be very low, whether it is for Arsenal or Tottenham Hotspur, the evaluation is very low, and the best player of the game is Messi.

Many English media commented that Tottenham Hotspur's attack was indeed stronger, and the reason why Tottenham Hotspur won was to rely on their strong attack and use the tactics of judging the situation to finally defeat their rival Arsenal at their home stadium.

As Martin? As Samuel said in his column, it was a game of who defended worse, with neither side defending, while Arsenal's defence was significantly worse and Tottenham's attack was better, so in the end Tottenham won the game.

But Martin? Samuel also warned Tottenham Hotspur in his column, believing that with the current Tottenham Hotspur defense, once it encounters a strong team, especially in the Champions League, it will be difficult to use its attacking power to win when encountering a team with a more balanced attack and defense.

At the end of the day, much of the talk about Tottenham Hotspur is centred on the midfield midfield.

The defensive line is still the original one, just in the back position from Yaya? Toure replaced by Phil? Jones, but his role in defense and the team is completely different, so some voices have begun to appear, doubting that Ye Qiu let Yaya go at the last moment of the winter break? Whether Toure is a wise choice.

Just when the outside world was questioning Ye Qiu, Tottenham Hotspur's CEO Peter? Kenyon and COO Ron? Gulli took the initiative to defend Ye Qiu when he was interviewed by the media.

"The reason why we chose to make Yaya? Toure is leaving, the transfer fee is not the reason, we never consider the transfer fee when deciding the transfer of a player, the transfer fee is only considered after deciding whether to send him to the transfer market, before that, we are more thinking about whether we can or should keep the player. ”

Obviously, our answer on this question is no, because the salary and sincerity offered by the other party are beyond our means, and they are able to surround Yaya? Toure came in line-up, but we have Messi, Franck Ribery, Cavani, Cesc Fabregas, David? Silva, Thiago? Silva, Alves, a whole bunch of great players. ”

'There's no way we've got a way to organise the team's tactics around a player, and there's no way we've been able to pay him an outrageously high salary, which is not possible because if we give Yaya? With Toure's high salary, what about the other players? What about Messi? What about Ribery? What about the others? ”

'In the end, we decided to let him go because the player had already told us that he wanted to go, that we couldn't force him to stay, and the only regret was that the decision was made on the last day of the transfer window, when we were faced with two options, to rush in a player or to promote a young player in the squad.

'You know, it's too risky to decide to bring in a player in one day, it's never so easy and sloppy to bring in reinforcements, we take every player very seriously, and we've always prioritised the promotion of young players in the squad, so we chose the most difficult path.

"Perhaps, in the short term, there will be some twists and turns and turmoil in the team's results, but in the long term, we all believe that Phil? Jones can be a key player in the midfield of the team, he does have that potential, and we deserve to do it for him! ”

Peter? Kenyon also made it clear in the interview that the team will consider bringing in a midfield defender in the summer transfer, but refused to disclose who the specific target is, but said that he would not rule out a first-class star.

"I believe everyone knows very well that the whole transfer market is too chaotic now, the value of the players is very high, and the salary requirements are also very high, which is really not a good choice for us, so the players we have introduced in the past are not the kind of stars who have become famous, we prefer to bring in young players who have proven their strength and potential, and at the same time are not very valuable players, because we believe that this type of player is more competitive ****."

"But there are no absolutes in everything, and we're too young in the squad right now."

Peter? Kenyon's clarification did give Tottenham Hotspur fans some insight into the team's situation, and in fact, Yaya? Toure's agent announced a transfer on the last day of the transfer window, and if the player is really leaving, it is understandable to take the opportunity to sell for a good price.

Therefore, after learning the truth of the matter, Tottenham Hotspur fans have given understanding, and at the same time said that they will cooperate with the team to provide the best space for the growth and improvement of young players, rather than pressure.

After ending the 28th round of the Premier League early, Tottenham Hotspur reversed Birmingham 2-1 at Wembley Stadium at Wembley Stadium thanks to goals from Neymar and Hazzard.

Not long after the start of the game, senior striker Zikic beat Raphael Varane and Nastasic to head past Tottenham Hotspur, but Tottenham Hotspur eventually reversed the opponent and won the League Cup, greatly relieving the pressure on the team.

All three games in a row were reversed, and although Tottenham Hotspur's performance was good and they all won, compared to the past, it still made many people worried, after all, the strength has indeed declined.

Ye Qiu had long been clear about this kind of worry from the outside world, but the issues he considered were more complex than everyone outside, and at the same time, they were also more daring, and even many decisions required great courage.

It's like Ferguson decided to sell Cristiano? Ronaldo, as he was, without extraordinary courage, he couldn't make such a decision, and hindsight said that his decision was right.

But before making a decision, who dares to say that they will not be wrong? member, but refused to disclose who the specific target is, but said that he did not rule out that he is a first-class star.

"I believe everyone knows very well that the whole transfer market is too chaotic now, the value of the players is very high, and the salary requirements are also very high, which is really not a good choice for us, so the players we have introduced in the past are not the kind of stars who have become famous, we prefer to bring in young players who have proven their strength and potential, and at the same time are not very valuable players, because we believe that this type of player is more competitive ****."
