This year's awards ceremony was a mixed bag for Tottenham Hotspur.

The pIpa Ballon d'Or has fallen to Messi for the fourth time, which has also achieved the amazing influence of the Argentine superstar, and will also push Messi's football status to a whole new level.

Although Ye Qiu has also won many times, with the English League championship and the Champions League champion, the two most important club honors, he still can't match Bosque's European Cup championship, which has to be said to be a pity.

Of course, Ye Qiu believes that this is not a shady scene, but more of a trade-off.

In the selection of the best team of the year, Tottenham Hotspur was also completely defeated, changing the past scenery and becoming a little bleak, only three players were selected for the best team, namely left back Marcelo, right winger Messi and center Cavani, and the rest of the positions were basically covered by La Liga players.

The goalkeeper is Casillas, Marcelo, Ramos, Pique and Alves at the back, Andres Iniesta, Xavi and Xavi in midfield, and Cristiano Ronaldo, Cavani and Messi in front.

Among them, the excellent performance of Spanish players is more dependent on their excellent performance in the European Cup, while Alves's selection is more dependent on his swing at Tottenham Hotspur, so some people believe that Tottenham Hotspur cannot be said to be disappointing because of this.

After the Ballon d'Or ceremony, the British media wrote articles that Tottenham Hotspur would continue to dominate European professional football, and Messi would continue to maintain his status as a superstar in world football.

Craig Brown, the Daily Mail's number one British journalist, has written a rare article on the incident in his column again, and interestingly, his only two football-related columns have been about Tottenham Hotspur, which has led many to wonder if he has become a Tottenham Hotspur loyalist

In his column, Craig Brown once again offers a different perspective to everyone, unlike all football professionals, who believes that Messi and Tottenham Hotspur will be very difficult to stop.

"I once asked my good friend Martin Samuel a question like this, and I asked, why have Tottenham Hotspur been able to maintain such glory? On what basis was their peak empire built? ”

"I think this is very unreasonable, because football has always been about long-term systematic management and construction, but if you want to talk about history, the rise of Tottenham Hotspur is only less than six or seven years, even if you add the Levy period, it is only ten years, why can a team in England that was originally in the middle and lower reaches become a top giant?"

"To talk about financial resources, as far as I know, Ye Qiu has always pursued healthy finances, although Tottenham Hotspur has debts, but first, the interest rate is low, and the risk is completely controllable, and they have a huge cash flow, but at the same time, they have always insisted on the salary structure construction of the team, so in terms of financial resources, don't compare with the Western Giants, even if they have no advantage over Manchester City and other teams, but why can they keep the players? And not Arsenal? ”

"A lot of people like to talk about tactics, about ideas, about offensive football, so let's look at it again, Barcelona has a strong football concept, and has adhered to this set of concepts for more than ten years, they have a tacit height that other teams can't reach, and Real Madrid's football concept is gorgeous attacking football, the top superstars, their football is also full of charm."

"If you want to talk about high-level defense, it's all flooded now, pressing and pressing in the midfield is not new, and even a kick out of the ball is nothing to show off, but why, Tottenham Hotspur is so special? So different? ”

"Haha, I'm so proud, because Martin o Samuel, that damn fat guy was asked by me, and he was speechless"

"Yesterday, the editor-in-chief of our newspaper told me, write about Messi, write a column for your idol, but I think that in fact, Messi's phenomenon is nothing worth writing about, causing him to win the Ballon d'Or in a row, the reason is very simple, since FIFA and French football merged the two awards, the most important thing for the Ballon d'Or is the player's fame and influence, not the professional performance in that year."

"From a rational point of view, Iniesta has reason to think that there is something shady in this, but these are the rules of selection, everyone is in the rules, and as long as the Ballon d'Or continues to focus on influence and ignore the professional table, then it will not be a surprise that the attacking scorer continues to monopolize the title."

"If I had to say something special, I think it was the active operation of Tottenham Hotspur"

"We must clearly know that in the current professional football world, star resources are excessively concentrated, and all fans, reporters and media are focused on the top teams and stars, so we think that Tottenham Hotspur can pick out any player, and his fame and influence are louder than the leading stars of the middle and lower teams."

"In this case, the World Footballer of the Year merged with the European Footballer of the Year, merging the two heavyweight individual awards into one, which created another concentration of resources, which led to the current situation where the strong are stronger and the weak are weaker."

"The reason why I mention Tottenham Hotspur is because I have a very interesting phenomenon, which is that their commercial department is very good at business operations, and a lot of people mistakenly think that they are pouring all their resources into Messi and Ribery, which in itself makes some sense, but the problem is that they forget a little bit, the radiation effect"

"Messi and Ribery are undoubtedly the top superstars of the day, they are like the locomotive of Tottenham Hotspur, but the problem is that if they want to succeed, they need their teammates, and if they want to score, they have to have someone pass the ball to them, and whoever passes them can use the influence and popularity of Messi and Ribery to become popular.

"Therefore, Messi and Ribery drove a group of second-tier stars such as Cavani, Neymar, Vidal, Ramsey, Hazzard, Thiago Silva, Pirlo, etc., and then used the first and second echelon stars to drive the third-tier stars, making the entire Tottenham Hotspur star system form a high-end, mid-range and low-end brand phalanx."

"It's a very, very great innovation, because we look at Real Madrid and Manchester United, they are actually still focused on the stars in this area, so Manchester United has been in a bottleneck in the past few years, after selling Cristiano Ronaldo, because Rooney can't take the job, the team has that kind of power, but there is no place to use it"

"But Tottenham Hotspur will not have such a problem, it is foreseeable that if either Messi and Ribery leave the team, immediately, one of the stars in the second echelon will rise quickly and replace him, because he has a solid foundation in his own right, as long as the team feels that he is suitable and devotes a lot of resources to him, then he can succeed"

"After seeing the success of Ronaldinho, Ribery, Drogba and other ugly men, some people still think that they must be handsome guys to be popular

"And at Tottenham Hotspur, even the lowest players, such as the new signing Cesar Azpilicueta, it is reported that Tottenham Hotspur has signed three sponsorship contracts for him in the past six months, two from Spain and one from Portugal, which can bring more than one million euros in revenue share to Azpilicueta a year."

"For sponsors, Azpilicueta is not as well-known as a first-line star, but his sponsorship is cheap, his image fits, and more importantly, they can use the Tottenham Hotspur brand, and behind the brand is Tottenham Hotspur's unique club culture, which is very revealing, the value of this brand is driven by Messi and Ribery superstars, this is a kind of radiation"

"All of this is just on a business level, but what about football?"

"Martin Samuel once said that Tottenham Hotspur's football is the most resilient football in the world."

"What do you mean by elasticity?"

"First of all, he must have a very rigorous, strong overall concept, if it is the kind of loose structure, it is impossible to be flexible, but at the same time, he must not be rigid, he must know how to be flexible, have a loose degree of freedom, and be able to change his structure and form according to external forces."

"Barcelona and Real Madrid represent two extremes of football, Barcelona emphasizes a strong football concept and run-in, which is a kind of football that is close to a closed football, and Real Madrid is different, they emphasize a strong ability to recruit, relying on the continuous introduction of individual ability group of superstars, and then give this group of superstars a free swing environment on the field, and what the head coach has to do is to ensure that the superstars are free to swing on the premise, properly blend the team into a whole.

"It's hard to say whether Barcelona's concept is better, or Real Madrid's thinking is more advantageous, but we can clearly see that they all have advantages and shortcomings, for example, Barcelona, they are a little bit suppressed the player's personality and free swing, and Real Madrid's integrity is much inferior to Barcelona."

"But since Tottenham Hotspur took over the team from Ye Qiu, they have always taken a middle route, insisting on integrity and emphasizing free swinging, many people feel that this is impossible, because they are a contradiction in themselves, just like you can't ask Messi to run like crazy like Vidal to cover interceptions, and at the same time be able to continue to maintain an excellent performance in the offensive end, sprinting forward again and again and breaking through with the ball, he can't do it."

"But Ye Qiu put forward another way of thinking, he told you that it is possible, provided that it is moderate."

"Ye Qiu has explored a very distinctive middle-of-the-road route for Tottenham Hotspur, attaching importance to the whole, while taking into account the free swing, if the left side is the whole, the right side is the free swing, then he draws a line on the left, and the right side also draws a line, and the team's tactics swing back and forth between these two bottom lines."

"Sometimes, we have to admit that this is a creative and inclusive thinking, and even Mourinho said that Ye Qiu's team has further completed integration and progress on the basis of inheriting a series of previous tactical concepts, and has made breakthroughs in both integrity and freedom."

Craig Brown also pointed out at the end of his column, "It is impossible to defeat Tottenham Hotspur from an external force, because from the current point of view, the two teams closest to Tottenham Hotspur, Barcelona and Real Madrid, are still hovering between two extremes, and Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Manchester City and other teams may be able to defeat Tottenham Hotspur in the short term, but there is still a long way to go to dismantle this empire." ”

"Therefore, only they can beat Tottenham Hotspur, players leave the team or get old, and the management stupidly subverts the system created by Ye Qiu, otherwise, Tottenham Hotspur will still be the strongest team in European football for many years to come, and will still be the most powerful contender for all titles."

Craig Brown's column immediately caused a huge response among fans in the UK and around the world, and even many non-Tottenham Hotspur fans highly praised this column, many people believe that only people with Ye Qiu's background and culture can integrate such a team, because he comes from China, which pursues the golden mean.

There are also many fans who believe that this column will make Tottenham Hotspur competitors clearly aware that only poaching can destroy the Tottenham Hotspur empire, "So, local tyrants, wave the euro in your hand and dig to your heart's content"

But soon, Tottenham Hotspur fans fought back, believing that with the team's talent reserves and heritage, those local tyrant teams could not dig down the walls of Tottenham Hotspur.

Of course, there are also some fans who will be worried, after all, Ye Qiu's intention to retire has been very clear, and once Ye Qiu retires, will Tottenham Hotspur usher in a big change? Will the successor be able to keep the stars in the squad at bay? This is also a hidden danger for Tottenham Hotspur's future.

Soon after the FIFA awards ceremony, the media around the world shifted their focus and focused the hype on Tottenham's unbeaten record, which had equalled Abidjan's unbeaten streak of 108 games.

As of the end of last season, Tottenham Hotspur's unbeaten record was 88 games, and this season has been played so far in 21 rounds, but because Tottenham Hotspur participated in the Club World Cup, they had one less game in between, so they tied Abidjan's unbeaten record.

On the evening of 12 January, the away game against Queens Park Rangers became a crucial game for Tottenham Hotspur to break a legendary record that had been in the dust for many years.

From January 1 to 12, Tottenham Hotspur's main squad got a full eleven days of rest, although there was an FA Cup game in the middle, but Ye Qiu arranged all the young squad to play, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Coventry City 3o away, and advanced to the next round.

The eleven days of rest is actually equivalent to a winter break, Ye Qiu is still based on previous experience, first give the players a holiday to rest, and then carry out physical adjustment and reserve training, this kind of training intensity is relatively large, the purpose is to prepare for the second half of the season, and then give the players a holiday, and then adjust and resume training after returning to the team

Regarding the so-called unbeaten record, Ye Qiu made it clear when he challenged Queens Park Rangers away that he didn't pay attention to it at all, relatively speaking, he paid more attention to the team's performance in the second half of the season.

"The winter break of every season is often the most difficult adjustment period and I have made it clear to my players that we don't need to dwell on the so-called unbeaten record because it means nothing to us, we focus more on what we can achieve after the season and that's the key."

In fact, Tottenham Hotspur did not give any stimulus rewards for their unbeaten record at all, on the contrary, the rewards for league and Champions League titles were staggering, and the world was shocked by Tottenham's huge prize money, and all the players were determined to win it.

Sometimes, however, the fighting spirit and mental strength have to be relegated to the objective fact that after a period of intense physical reserve and adjustment training, the player's body has become significantly tired, and in the 22nd round of the English game, the away game with Queens Park Rangers OO ended in a draw.

It was clearly not a score to celebrate, and even though Tottenham had a high rate of possession and were able to find the back of the net despite the fact that Tottenham Hotspur almost overpowered Queens Park Rangers throughout the game.

With a point at home, Redknapp, who fought the Queens Park Rangers last October, smiled from ear to ear, saying that the game would be a source of inspiration for the team, while also congratulating Tottenham Hotspur on setting an astonishing all-time record, believing that this is a legendary team that has never been seen before and will be difficult to come again.

Four days later, all English teams were suspended, but Tottenham Hotspur ushered in a seventeen-round make-up match, and in the 85th minute, thanks to Kompany's header, UJ Laudrup's Swansea City.

In two consecutive games, Tottenham Hotspur has been in a slump, especially in the face of the vice-captain Queens Park Rangers, the whole game was full of mistakes and omissions, proving that many players are not in shape, and when playing Swansea, if it wasn't for Kompany's free kick at a critical moment to score with Pirlo's goal, I'm afraid it would still be oo

Regarding the team's recent appearance, Ye Qiu said that everything is within the control, at least the team has not lost the position of the leader, and he also said that after the amazing state of the winter break schedule, the team needs to rest and take a breath.

But fixtures won't be halted by Tottenham Hotspur, who hosted United three days after three days at Swansea, but Ferguson's side surprised from the start, with Robin van Persie knocking on Tottenham's goal just five minutes after scoring with an assist from Karim Benzema

o Ferguson excitedly rushed out of the away team's coach's box, raised his arms high, and kept shouting, a team of winning postures
