In the end, it was the first warm-up game at White Hart Lane, and the ticket price for Tottenham Hotspur's warm-up game was very low, so White Hart Lane was crowded, and it seemed that at least about 30,000 people came to the scene.

This is the first time McCone has met Ye Qiu after transferring to Inter Milan, and it is a warm-up game, so the two masters and apprentices talked and laughed on the sidelines before the game, and Ye Qiu also cared about his situation at Inter Milan, McCone said that everything was fine, and the two were even joking about Ibramovic, saying that it would be interesting if he also came to Inter Milan.

In fact, this game Inter Milan was also out of warm-up considerations, but the lineup was not bad at all

Cesar is the goalkeeper, Zanetti, Samuel, Córdoba and McCone at the back, Stankovic, Vieira, Cambiasso and Figo in midfield, Adriano and Martins up front.

Tottenham Hotspur were also in full swing, with Petr Cech in goal, Vargas, Hangrande, Thiago Silva and Alves at the back, Davies, Mascherano and Cesc Fabregas in midfield, and Ribery, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Lionel Messi in front.

Sitting on the White Hart Lane Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur still adopts a proactive attacking tactic, and plays very actively after the opening, especially the team's two wings, after three weeks of running-in in Ireland, the players on both sides have cultivated a certain tacit understanding and are more skilled in fighting assaults.

Although Messi is playing on the right side now, in fact, Ye Qiu gives him the right to switch positions with Ribery freely, and he is now young and has a fast start-up speed, and his physical confrontation in the Premier League has improved a lot in the past three years.

In fact, whether it is Messi or Ribery, the absolute speed is not too fast, that is, in the long-distance sprint speed, such as the 100-meter speed, they are not fast, on the contrary, the 100-meter speed of players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Duff is considered fast, and Ribery and Messi are good at short-distance sprints, that is, sprints within 30 meters.

That's true of almost all short players, such as Sergio Aguero.

Players who sprint short distances may not be very effective when playing counter-attacks, because players such as Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Duff are faster when sprinting distances, so they are very effective when defending against counter-attacks, but once they encounter dense defense, the effect is greatly reduced.

This is also an important reason why Ribery and Messi did not perform well under Mourinho, because Mourinho does not play high defense, but is a bit like a counter-attack, and the wingers are far away from the opponent's position, which is easy to sprint.

But in Ye Qiu's tactics, they undoubtedly seem to be like fish in water, because Ye Qiu prefers to defend high, and the wingers and forwards encounter dense defense, which is undoubtedly more convenient for players like them.

Therefore, after the opening, even if they faced top European fullbacks such as McCone and Zanetti, Ribery and Messi still looked very active on the two wings, coupled with the rotation of Vargas and Alves behind them, Tottenham Hotspur's two wings played very lively, directly suppressing Inter Milan.

In the third minute, Messi faced Zanetti on the right side and passed to Alves, the Brazilian right-back got the ball and buckled inside, attracting Vieira to leave his position and knock horizontally, Fabregas inserted a direct kick to the ball, the ball came to the feet of Vanney accurately, the Dutch striker turned around and hit the goal directly on the periphery of the penalty area, and the ball was saved by Cesar.

However, Tottenham's attack was clearly not negative because of this, they quickly organized another attack, Vargas won the ball on the left and broke through unsuccessfully, and then knocked back to Ribery, who crossed diagonally and moved to the right, because Zanetti was pulled to the side by Messi, Alves suddenly ran inside from 30 meters, won the ball about a meter or so from the goal, and got up directly, and hit a powerful long-range shot, the ball went over the crossbar

Soon it was on the left side again, Ribery and Vargas had a two-on-one combination in the left corner of the penalty area, Vargas sprinted quickly, caught up with the ball and did not slow down and went directly to the bottom cross, the ball fell into the penalty area, and Vanney pressed Samuel's header and hit the goal, high

The continuous attack after the opening made the fans of White Hart Lane Stadium fascinated, and they now began to believe that Ye Qiu's offensive ability and level of training a team are indeed extraordinary, at least from just over three weeks, he has seen that he has adjusted Tottenham Hotspur's attack like this, and the two wings are very active.

However, on the sidelines, Ye Qiu did see another scene, that is, Vanney and the two wings did not echo enough, which will inevitably bring some problems, such as wanting to fill this loophole, either the midfielder presses up, or the fullback presses the back winger to cut inside, and no matter which one it is, it will inevitably bring the hidden danger of the team's defense being counterattacked.

But it must be admitted that Tottenham Hotspur's attacking combination is indeed powerful, and the weaknesses and deficiencies can be slowly adjusted, but the new season is not waiting for anyone at all, Tottenham Hotspur must find a set of cheats to be able to stand in the Premier League as soon as possible, and that must be attack

Although Ruud van Nistelrooy has a lot of weaknesses as a central striker, as a scorer, his ability to grab points in the box is second to none, and his consistency is very high, as long as he is given a chance, he can basically turn into a threat.

In the 24th minute, Davies passed to Fabregas after getting the ball, and the adjusted Fabregas directly rubbed a ball over the top, Messi quickly rushed past Zanetti with speed, and sprinted to the right side of the Inter Milan penalty area to receive the ball, but Zanetti was very experienced and quickly blocked the route between Messi and Vanney.

Messi faced Zanetti, crossed the ball, waited until Alves rushed up, knocked back directly, Alves stopped the ball, 45 degrees cross, the whole action was very skillful, and the cross landed between Samuel and Córdoba.

Vanney pressed Córdoba with his body, stopped the ball and turned around to swing his leg quickly, and the ball went into the net, 0

This is also Ruud van Nistelrooy's three consecutive warm-up games since joining Tottenham Hotspur, which made the Dutch center forward completely conquer the Tottenham Hotspur fans, and all the fans in the stadium chanted Ruud van Nistelrooy's name and cheered him on

Seeing that the team took the lead in breaking through the goal, Ye Qiu signaled that the team should stabilize first.

If it is a mature team that understands Ye Qiu's tactical ideas, it will definitely know at this time that Ye Qiu's stability is not to focus on defense, but to adopt a stable pressing style of play, after all, Tottenham Hotspur occupies the initiative and possession of the ball.

But after hearing Ye Qiu's adjustment, the players adopted an appropriate strategy of retraction, which quickly gave Inter Milan a chance to fight back after conceding a goal, because the lax mentality after taking the lead just now is the easiest to concede a goal.

The two strikers of Inter Milan in this game were Adriano and Martins, and Mancini's idea was simple, using Adriano to suppress the short Thiago Silva, and Martins to attack the tall but not flexible Hangrande.

For Inter Milan's strategy, Hangrande and Thiago Silva are also changing according to the adjustment and change of the other party, not exposing their weakness in front of the opponent, but when the team appropriately retreats, this weakness is still exposed.

When McCone crossed diagonally to the front of the penalty area at a 45-degree position, Adriano quickly moved to the right and carried Thiago Silva with his body, Ye Qiu noticed that he shouted the second point on the sidelines, and the consciousness was to let Hangrande pay attention to the second landing point of the defense.

But the reminder was slow after all, Martins grabbed the second point, and then directly accelerated the sprint, broke through Hangrande, and formed a one-on-one knife, and Peter Cech, despite making a save, could not prevent Martins' shot into the net, l

That's the game of football, that's the importance of the defensive chemistry and the system

If Hangrande and Thiago Silva had had a better understanding at that time, and the two could have kept in line with each other, then the second landing point would not have been so easily obtained by Martins, and even better, then it would have been Hangrande who competed with Adriano for the header.

This is inevitable, because the defense is always passive, the offense takes the initiative, and the active offense will definitely try to target the weakness of the defense, for example, just now, McCone is obviously passing the ball to find Thiago Silva, let Adriano use it, you can't dodge it.

"In the future, all the group confrontation training will put Thiago Silva and Hangrande in the same group, and cultivate their tacit understanding and familiar cooperation with each other as soon as possible," Ye Qiu leaned over and told his assistant Roland.

This Dutch fat man is a bit like a chore, he remembers what Ye Qiu says, and coincidentally, he is very good at this.

As Ye Qiu said, in addition to poor professional tactics, Roland is almost impeccable.

ended the first half with a score of L, Ye Qiu still encouraged the players at halftime, but still made a lot of substitution adjustments, after all, the team was very dense during this warm-up game, and many players needed to be protected.

Inter Milan also focused on the warm-up effect, so they also made a large number of substitutions.

Perhaps because of the large-scale substitutions, the game was not as good as the first half, but Tottenham Hotspur still insisted on attacking from the wing, and Inter Milan replaced substitutes and rookies such as Dacourt, Pizarro, and Marino, and they never made a breakthrough on the field.

Huddlestone, Yaya Toure and Lucas are three midfielders, the front trident is Ashley Young and Arshavin, and the forward is Cavani, who is nicknamed Vanney's apprentice by Ye Qiu, the idol of the Uruguayan striker is Vanney, so when he was in Ireland, he desperately pestered Vanney to teach shooting skills.

Speaking of Fanny, he was also miserable, and he had no choice but to agree to give advice after being entangled by Van Persie and Cavani.

In addition, Mascherano and Yaya Toure have pestered Davies, and it is not without reason, because when they were at Ajax, both Bobby Harms and Van Basten asked them to try to learn Davies's playing awareness, that is, the wisdom of running and responding.

In the past, I watched a lot of TV videos, but now that I see myself, I naturally ask for a lesson, and together, several young players in the team who want to improve are also humbly learning, but not all.

Carroll, for example, is a young player who switched from Newcastle this season with a more proud spirit, he is tall and big, but he has no interest in learning from anyone, not even Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Ye Qiu did not force these, but let them go, if they were willing to learn and teach, they would learn and teach, and they would not be forced or forced.

However, in the second half, it was not Ruudina Cavani, who played as a striker, but Yaya Toure in midfield, who played in midfield, and the Ivorian midfielder's powerful long-range shot after a quick cut in won a full house and helped Tottenham Hotspur to exceed the score again

Ye Qiu really didn't expect it, because the shot just now was at least 30 meters away from the goal, and hitting such a long shot with a certain arc at such a distance was earth-shattering, and it was indeed wonderful

It also made him realize that Yaya Toure's attacking and long-range shooting could be a big weapon for the team, and Yaya Toure himself is very good at his own skills, so it would be too much to underestimate him just as a defender.

So after the game ended and Tottenham Hotspur finally beat the visiting Inter Milan at home, Ye Qiu called Yaya Toure on the sidelines and analyzed some of the situations that happened in the game with him to understand his thoughts at the time.

It's a kind of assessment of the player, because if the player doesn't have an idea at the time, or if the idea is not clear enough, it proves that the player is just lucky and happens to have a goal that he has the opportunity to score, then he definitely can't develop tactics and attacking routines around this, but Yaya Toure is very clear and organized.

'I know that the team's request is not to waste an attacking opportunity, but I saw that the Brazilian goalkeeper was out of the box and we didn't have the attacking players in front of us, so I thought I could try it, I scored a goal like this at Ajax'

Yaya Toure's answer satisfied Ye Qiu, but Ye Qiu still asked about some other details in the game, and he found that Yaya Toure always knew what he should be in the game, and maintained a sense of sanity and calm.

"I've been thinking maybe I should give you more opportunities to get involved in the team's attack, but I'm worried that you're going to get addicted to the attack and cause problems in the team's defense."

"Don't worry, head, I promise, I can do both attacking and defending at the same time, I'm confident," Yaya Toure assured with confidence, as everyone has a desire to attack in their bones, "just like Edgar did when he was at Chelsea, I can do what he can do"

Ye Qiu didn't feel it at first, but when he listened to it, he felt that it wasn't a taste, "He taught you that, right?" ”

Yaya Toure was speechless, needless to say, looking at his expression, he knew that Davis must have taught him

"Head, I really think this kid is buried as a defensive player" Davis on the side was already eavesdropping, and immediately walked over with a smile on his face, stood beside Ye Qiu, and said with a smile.

Ye Qiu pointed at Davis, "Davis at the peak of his offense can attack and defend back, can you do it?" ”

"Yes," Yaya Toure replied with a nod as he looked at Davis.

"Okay, when you can do it and do better than him, I'll give you a starter and let him give you a substitute" Ye Qiu pointed at Davis, and then at Yaya Toure, said with a smile, and then turned around and left.

Yaya Toure grinned with white teeth, and Davis was dumbfounded, "I'll give you a bench."

Yaya Toure only found out that something was wrong at this time, if in the words of the Chinese, isn't this teaching the apprentice without a master?

The Ivorian is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart, and the most important thing to do at this time is to look at the nose and the nose, and not say anything, but in his heart he is laughing, aren't you old? Do you always want to stand in the pit and not?

Davis didn't understand what he looked like he was smiling, he stretched out his finger and pointed at this guy, staring at him with a threatening look before leaving, but in fact, he couldn't do anything, and he himself had accepted the fact that his career was in its twilight years.

Three days later, the team appeared in Dortmund, Germany, to take on Dortmund away at the Westphalen Stadium

In this game, Yaya Toure was once again in the starting lineup, and Ye Qiu also began to give him more opportunities to participate in the attack and ball advancement, which made it possible for Tottenham Hotspur to remain in the midfield at some point in the game with only one lagging Mascherano to protect the defence.

Adjusted the new tactics, Tottenham Hotspur had a poor start at the Westphalian Stadium, being suppressed by Borussia Dortmund and knocking on the goal of Peterch Cech first, but in the second half, Tottenham Hotspur made adjustments, and substitute Ruud van Nistelrooy once again hammered the final word, scoring a goal for Tottenham Hotspur to win the score.

The scoreline was maintained until the end of the game, with Tottenham Hotspur coming from a draw

After the Borussia Dortmund game, Tottenham Hotspur did not immediately return to London, but continued another warm-up game in Germany, against Nuremberg, who performed well in the Bundesliga last season, and this time Tottenham Hotspur clearly performed better, Ruud van Nispur scored again, while Ribery and Cesc Fabregas scored one goal each, and won 0 away games against Nuremberg.

Back in England, the team continued to sit at White Hart Lane, welcoming Birmingham City, who were relegated to the Championship this season, but Steve Bruce's side were forced to draw with Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane.

The facts are obvious, Tottenham Hotspur's offensive ability is indeed not weak, but there are also many defensive problems, especially the team's overall understanding and tactics need to continue to improve, but time waits for no one.

During Tottenham's warm-up match against Birmingham, Rafael Benitez's Liverpool also started the Community Shield with Chelsea, and the Reds beat Jose Mourinho's Chelsea to get off to a flying start.

Mourinho discharged Shevchenko and Drogba's two-striker combination in this game, but the two obviously did not match at all, and the coordination of midfielders Frank Lampard and Ballack is not small, who will play the main role of Essien and Makelele, plus the team's goalkeeper problem, the current Chelsea can be said to be a pile of problems.

Regardless, the Blues are still the favourites to win the Premier League at the moment, after all, the quality of this team is there, but so many problems are bound to affect Chelsea

Because with the end of the Community Shield, the curtain of the Premier League is gradually rising
