Sometimes it's not easy to tell the truth.

It's like after the 2:2 draw away to Newcastle, Ye Qiu once said that the current Tottenham Hotspur needs such a blow, and he believes that a draw or even a loss can bring more to the team.

This was understood by many people as Ye Qiu's pride and arrogance, but this was true.

For Tottenham Hotspur's entire tactical system, it is basically already formed, no matter how you adjust and how you change, all you can do is to add more elements to this system, or make changes and adjustments in local details, to make it look more balanced and stronger.

The accumulation of this quantitative change eventually evolved into a qualitative change.

Everybody can see it, Cesc Fabregas, David? Silva and Yaya? Tottenham Hotspur's midfield has undergone a major overhaul since Toure made three midfielders, and if there is any difference between the midfield of Ramsey, Vidal and Andrea Pirlo compared to last season, the biggest difference is in running and coverage.

If you look at it as a whole, the midfield strength this season may not be as good as last season, but one thing to know is that Cesc Fabregas, David? Silva and Yaya? Toure's combination has reached its peak, and there is no possibility of any major improvement and transformation, but the combination of Ramsey and Vidal has only just begun, and whether the midfield position will be Pirlo or someone else is unknown, which is both a hidden danger but also an opportunity.

Because the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 knockout round will be played in midweek, Ye Qiu made adjustments to the game against Newcastle, and this time he learned the lessons of the St James' Park stadium and made adjustments to the starting lineup.

Goalkeeper Petr Cech, the backline is Alba, Nastasic, Thiago? Silva and Kyle? Walker, with Ramsey, Sandro and Phil in midfield? Jones, the front three also made a wide range of changes, with Franck Ribery occupying the starting line-up and Lionel Messi and Hazzard starting at the same time.

With the main center forward Cavani and the veteran Raul, plus Vidal, who suffered a minor injury in the midfield, and the core player Andrea Pirlo, Tottenham Hotspur's rotation in this game is quite large, but the tactics embodied on the pitch are surprising, especially for Redknapp, who completely misjudged Ye Qiu's thoughts.

If the original idea is followed, Ibrahimovic still focuses on attacking the area behind Pirlo and in front of the central defender, acting as the front point to get the ball, but after Ye Qiu's adjustment, they had to find that as soon as Ibrahimovic got the ball, he was surrounded by Tottenham Hotspur players.

Sandro and Phil? Jones's position is relatively backward, more to protect the defense line and two ribs, but Ramsey's position is more forward, and the position of the front trident is very erratic, which side of the ball is, the players on the side of the trident retreat to respond, and they often switch positions frequently.

At the beginning of the game, Newcastle also wanted to play the previous long ball and rushed away, and handed the ball to Ibrahimovic, but the Swede could not pass it again as soon as he got the ball, and was cut off by Tottenham Hotspur, and then played another round of counter-attacks.

Hazadra got to the right and got Kyle? After Walker's pass, he forced a breakthrough through Coentrão from the right side, and after entering the penalty area, he knocked it to Messi on the periphery of the arc of the big penalty area.

Ziglinski was in a very good position, jamming Hazzard's path to the goal, but as soon as the Belgian stopped the ball, he directly deducted Ziglinski, slammed the ball to the bottom line, and quickly rushed to the bottom line, preempting Ziglinski and Coentrão to pass a cross in front of goal.

The goalkeeper didn't react much to the goal, and Ribery, who was outflanked at the back point, quickly followed up and easily pushed the empty goal in front of the goal, 1:0! Just four minutes into the game, Tottenham Hotspur were the first to knock on Newcastle's goal!

If the goal still seemed a bit sudden, two minutes later, Tottenham Hotspur backfielder Kehl? Walker brought Motta's long ball to Ravitch's header back into midfield, and Sandro didn't wait for the ball to hit the ground and hooked it to Phil on the right? Jones, who stopped the ball and turned around, the whole process was very smooth and steady, showing solid fundamentals, and then a long pass to plan a counterattack.

Phil? Jones's long pass is really not much creativity, it can only be said to be decent, Messi had to quickly pull to the right side to receive the ball, but the speed has slowed down, Coentrão blocked Messi's inner cut route, the Argentine hit a cross on the right side, Hazzard, who moved to the middle, followed this time, and directly hit the point at the front of the small penalty area, 2:0!

Six minutes, in just six minutes, Tottenham Hotspur took a two-goal lead!

Redknapp can see it clearly this time, Ye Qiu can't give him the same opportunity as before, for Tottenham Hotspur, their loopholes will only be caught by you once, so Ye Qiu's rotation this time is not only to stay in the Champions League game in midweek, but also to play a surprise soldier, so that your previous targeted tactics are completely useless.

Seeing through this, Redknapp had to make adjustments, and the team began to try to stabilize the situation, after all, Tottenham Hotspur scored two goals at the beginning, which was too much pressure for Newcastle United, who were playing away.

Tottenham Hotspur were a bit unforgiving, this was White Hart Lane, their home stadium, and they had such a fantastic start to the game, so they didn't have the slightest idea of stopping there, especially for the team's several players who rotated on the pitch, each of them wanted to prove their quality with a good game.

Newcastle are also very strong and cohesive, and they have stabilized the situation very quickly, but the slow-down Tottenham Hotspur have the same method, they are also good at creating holes in the slow tempo, through the kind of continuous passing and pulling, and the threat is not lost to the fast tempo of the sharp attack.

Sandro takes the ball and goes to the right, Phil? Jones pass to Kyle? Walker, the latter passed to Hazzard forward, but there was no chance in front, Hazzard knocked back directly to Sandro behind, this kick at least fifteen meters above the return pass was very fast, but Sandro stopped very steadily, stopped directly to the left, turned and dribbled to the left, and then scored.

Alba came up, received the ball, did not pull to Ribery near the left touchline, but directly rubbed a inside pass with his left foot, to the left side of Ramsey, who was inserted behind, the Welshman was making physical contact with Motta, who was defending him, and there was a bit of bumping when dribbling the ball, but after entering the box, he still seized a chance to cross to the goal.

Messi rushed to the middle, in this game Ribery and Hazzard both scored, as a trident, Messi also wanted to score, so he rushed to the goal, but Ramsey's pass was given back, Messi came to his senses and had to turn around, but Ziglinski blocked behind him, although Messi was able to receive the ball, but lost the angle of the shot.

The Argentine reacted very quickly, was in a hurry, gave up his chance to hit the goal, and directly stopped the ball with his left foot to the penalty spot, followed by Phil? Jones directly picked up a kick and hit the door.

It's a penalty-like shot with no defenders around, if Phil? If Jones can't score, then he will be drowned by the saliva of his teammates, and Tottenham Hotspur took a 3-0 lead in the 21st minute!

Although Tottenham Hotspur has frequently launched attacks and scored opportunities, and Messi has played a key role in these attacks, it is surprising that he has always been a little bit close to scoring.

It seems that in the 27th minute, after Ribery cut off the ball at the feet of Van de Wiel, he played a very threatening counterattack, and the whole backfield had a three-on-three situation, and Ribery's cross went to the right side to Hazzard, but the Belgian stopped the ball back to the middle, but Messi, who followed up, hit the goal slightly off.

Too anxious, too much to pursue the angle!

Even when the game reached the thirty-second minute, Tottenham Hotspur broke the ball at the back and counterattacked again, Ramsey split the ball on the left side, Ribery rushed with the ball, and after hitting the 30-meter area, Ribery avoided Hazzard in the middle and gave the ball to Messi on the right side of the arc, who got the ball and hit the penalty area directly.

But the goalkeeper played like a god this time, and after blocking the ball, Messi still had a chance, and he had to go up to make up for the shot, but Kyle, who was inserted behind? Walker's sprint speed this time was too fast, and he hit the goal directly in the penalty area, 4:0!

Three assists, one planned attack, the team's four goals are inextricably linked to Messi, and the Argentine is constantly trying to score opportunities in this game, but he is just a little bit short of a goal!

Andy, who was once the top scorer in England's top flight? Gray also jokingly joked, thinking that sometimes the shooter is so helpless, that is, he lacks a little luck, which causes him to always be a little bit short of scoring.

But Andy? Gray also spoke highly of Messi's performance in this game, believing that with the team's tactical adjustment, Messi got more opportunities to take the ball and make the ball, while the offensive trident in the entire front court has almost no fixed mode and position, constantly changing, making Newcastle's defense very difficult.

And Messi's last pass is an important weapon for the team to establish an early advantage in this game.

The first half ended with a 4:0 lead in Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu made adjustments in the midfield after taking a big lead, replacing Ribery with Neymar, the Frenchman just returned from injury, and he performed quite well after playing this game, and he had to save some strength to play the Champions League in midweek.

Then Pogba replaced Ramsey, and the team's entire midfield was also adjusted, except for Messi.

Ye Qiu knows Messi too well, he knows very well that the Argentines need games at this time, and he wants to score goals.

The hat-trick of assists is indeed a very good result for Messi, but judging from his performance in this game, he hopes to get a goal, even if he is currently far ahead of the league scorer list, but he is still full of hunger for goals.

Ye Qiu knew very well that if Messi was replaced at this time, the Argentines would be unhappy, so he continued to let Messi stay on the field, but he did not specifically tell the other players of the team to make balls for Messi, which is not Ye Qiu's style.

But everyone seems to know Messi's idea very well, and they are actively working hard to create opportunities in the game, at this time, Newcastle has been completely beaten by Tottenham Hotspur to lose their fighting spirit, the game is completely dominated by Tottenham Hotspur, and the fans in the stands of White Hart Lane stadium are also cheering for Messi, hoping that he can score.

It wasn't until the 73rd minute of the game that Sandro shifted with a big foot in the middle and gave the ball to the unguarded Kyle on the right? Walker rushed forward at high speed, received the ball and took it to the right side of the penalty area, where he curled a high cross after Coentrão rushed up to defend.

The landing point of this cross was at the back of the goal, Pogba, who replaced Ramsey, rushed forward quickly, jumped high outside the range of the goal frame, and headed a landing rebound ball to attack the goal, but the goalkeeper reacted quickly and made a save, but the ball did not save far, and Messi, who followed up, instinctively raised his foot and picked up, and the ball drilled into Newcastle's goal.

5：0！

The entire White Hart Lane stadium seemed to have been detonated, almost all the fans stood up frantically, chanting Messi's name, and the Argentine superstar also quickly rushed to the sidelines, constantly waving and shouting to the fans in the stands, venting their excitement and excitement after scoring a goal.

He'd missed many, many chances in this game, but he finally got it!

"For a player of Messi's level, if you don't score in a game, it's a disaster!" Andy? Gray said admiringly.

Indeed, in the past few seasons of Tottenham Hotspur, Messi has always been the best player in the team, although Ye Qiu corrected his development direction, but he still relied on his excellent football skills, well adapted to Tottenham Hotspur's tactics, and pushed his career to the highest peak.

Three passes and one shot, this time Messi can finally walk off the field satisfied!

And when the Argentine got off the field, he hugged Ye Qiu with a smile and celebrated, which also makes people have to admit that Ye Qiu is definitely the head coach who knows Messi the best in the world today, and he is also the head coach who can give full play to Messi's strength.

Perhaps, it is almost impossible to create a new Messi again, but in addition to Tottenham Hotspur, it is difficult for Messi to meet a manager who knows how to use him and knows him so well like Ye Qiu.

It's hard to say who made whom, it can only be said that each other made each other!

…………

…………

With a five-goal slaughter at home to Newcastle, Tottenham Hotspur was frustrated by a 2-2 draw in the first meeting of the season, and also pushed their unbeaten record to 75 games, which is almost a new record that no other team in Europe's top five leagues can match.

But according to the evaluation of football legend Lineker after the game, the players of Tottenham Hotspur are just like Messi in this game, they are full of all kinds of desires in every game, and this desire brings them motivation, so that even today, they still maintain a strong desire to play.

"Until now, we have to admit that Ye Qiu decided to sell Fabregas and David? Silva and Yaya? Toure is right, not just for tactical reasons, but also for mental reasons! ”

"There's a saying in the world of head coaching that after four years in one place you should think about a change!"

"It's a very common consensus because four years is enough time to change all the details of the same place from freshness, to familiarity, to lack of interest, and finally to boredom, which is why so many managers admire Alex Ferguson so much, at least he has been at United long enough and has been successful all the time!"

"Therefore, Ye Qiu used such a big change to beat his players and arouse their fighting spirit and desire!"

And Ye Qiu also expressed his satisfaction with the game at the post-match press conference, and jokingly said, "We won't fall twice on the same opponent!" ”

After Tottenham Hotspur slaughtered Newcastle 5-0 at home, the 25th round of the English Premier League also came to a conclusion.

Although it was reversed by Tottenham Hotspur in the last round, Manchester City was hit hard, but this time against Aston Villa, Manchester City still withstood the pressure very well, relying on Lescott's goal, and narrowly defeated Aston Villa 1:0 away.

Throughout the game, Manchester City's performance was indeed not ideal, but the overall strength of this team is still very good, especially the depth of the bench and the combat effectiveness of the main players, which are not to be underestimated.

In another key game, Liverpool defeated the Red Devils Manchester United 2-1, and although Benitez's team was eliminated from the Champions League, they were very competitive in the league and their performance is getting better and better, especially after strengthening the bench depth this season, the top four in the league are basically unable to run.

West Ham United beat West Bromwich Albion 5-1 at home to challenge for a top-four finish, while Chelsea lost 2-0 at Everton, and Villas-Boas's Stamford Bridge tour has all but come to an end, with news that Roman Abramovich has made a strong offer to Barcelona's Pep Guardiola.

The issue of contract renewal between Guardiola and Barcelona has not been able to give a result, and it has been revealed that Barcelona has booked a successor for Guardiola, that is, assistant coach Vilanova, while Abramovich wants to invite Guardiola to coach in the Premier League, and has offered extremely generous conditions and powers.

But everything is currently just in the speculation stage, even Ye Qiu has no way to know the result clearly, after all, the current Barcelona is not as strong as in the previous life, at best, it has won a Champions League, but their advantage in La Liga is indeed very obvious, which is even inferior to Real Madrid.

But just three days after the end of the 25th round, Tottenham Hotspur was held to a 1-1 draw away from Napoli, and Mazzalhi's side used a typical Italian reinforced concrete defense to get a draw at their home stadium, but also gave Tottenham an away goal.
