As the new Premier League season draws fast and more predictions for this season's Premier League fixtures are appearing in the newspapers, there is no doubt that almost everyone is still optimistic about Jose Mourinho's Chelsea.

Perhaps, there are many people, and it can even be said that almost 80% of the British media and journalists do not agree with Mourinho, thinking that he is too arrogant and causing trouble everywhere, but it is undeniable that his Chelsea is indeed superior, and it can almost be said that he is the only one in the current Premier League.

Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are considered eligible to challenge Chelsea for the title defence, but whether they can challenge Chelsea will depend not only on how well they have performed this season, but also on how Chelsea perform.

Manchester United got Carrick, and introduced Berbatov, plus the introduction of Evra last season, and the introduction of Vidic during the winter break, Manchester United's overall renewal has basically ended, this season sent away Ruud van Nistelrooy to bring in Berbatov, which has announced that the reform has come to an end, and the only relatively big suspense is the position of defensive midfield.

There was also a weakness in the goalkeeper position, but after bringing in Van der Sar from Chelsea, Ferguson's team performed well in the pre-season warm-up games, and Van der Sar also changed his previous frequent mistakes at Chelsea, and felt a bit old.

And Ferguson has always been an expert at solving problems, and everyone thinks Manchester United are the most likely team to challenge Chelsea this season, and many Premier League fans are hoping that Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool can snipe at Chelsea this season.

In the history of the top league of English football, no team has ever won four consecutive championships, even the glorious dynasties such as Aston Villa, Manchester United, and Liverpool have won three consecutive championships at most, especially Liverpool in the seventies and eighties, which are almost always sniped at critical moments.

Now, Chelsea have won the Premier League for three consecutive years, and as long as they win another year, it will be an unprecedented quadruple, so this season there are many media and reporters who have called for all Premier League teams to do their best to snipe Chelsea, of course, there are also some journalists and media who support Chelsea's four consecutive titles, because everything has a first time.

After Arsenal introduced Arteta from Ajax, the overall strength of the team did not decline much because of this, selling Pire, buying Rosicky, Wenger unswervingly took the technical route, but this season Ashley Cole has a lot of impact on this team, after all, Arsenal was best at attacking on the left side, but now it has one less leg.

Relatively speaking, Liverpool can be said to have greatly increased in strength, with the purchase of Robbie Keane, Liverpool's attacking problems are likely to be solved, coupled with Benitez's unwavering overall tactics of defending high up, Liverpool should not be underestimated at any time.

If the first four teams are regarded as the traditional top four of the Premier League, then Tottenham Hotspur has become the most promising team to challenge the top four in everyone's eyes, not only because of the strength of this team, but also because of their manager Ye Qiu.

As many media and reporters said, Ye Qiu's debut was accompanied by the championship trophy, after he took charge of Chelsea, he won the double in the first year, and the treble in the second year, this heavy report card is enough to ⊥shock everyone.

Now he has gone to Tottenham Hotspur, a team that has changed dramatically in his hands, not to mention playing the young card, remaining unbeaten in the warm-up matches, playing attacking football, especially the kind of wing-flying tactics shown in the warm-up games, which surprised everyone, especially the one played at home against Inter Milan, which was very exciting.

But the shortcomings of this team are also obvious, and the youth inevitably brings the problem of lack of experience and strength.

Ribery, Cesc Fabregas, Messi and other players used to be substitutes for Chelsea, but in the hands of Ye Qiu, they sat firmly in the main force, but playing the main force and playing as a substitute are two completely different concepts, which require players to adapt well to this change of role.

Playing on the bench, talking about targeting, the head coach will personally tell you before you play, how to play after you go up, you go up is to play targeted, you just need to perform the task well, but the main force is different, the main player must be able to adapt to any kind of change that occurs on the field, no matter how the opponent changes, you can adapt and play your own strength.

So, there are a lot of players who are very good substitutes, but once they play the main team, they can't adapt to it.

In addition, players such as Mascherano and Thiago Silva have the strength and have proven themselves at Ajax, but whether they can adapt to the Premier League, how long it will take to adapt, and how well Tottenham Hotspur has restructured their tactics needs to be considered.

The most disturbing is the centre-back combination, the combination of Hangrand and Thiago Silva seems to be very complementary, but there are still serious problems in terms of chemistry and cooperation, Tottenham Hotspur conceded six goals in six games in the warm-up, only one of which was a clean sheet, which shows that the defensive problems are not small.

Compared with defense, Tottenham Hotspur's attack seems to be not a big problem, but it is very dependable, because Ruud van Nistelrooy scores goals in every game, is Tottenham Hotspur's top scorer in pre-season, and is known as the guarantee of Tottenham Hotspur's goals, and some people even feel that Tottenham Hotspur is the most reassuring forward.

Regarding the worries from the outside world, Ye Qiu also mentioned in an exclusive interview with Martin Samuel, he said that the team relies on the whole, and Van Nistelrooy as the team's scorer, his responsibility is to score goals, so he scores more goals, which is not a problem at all, but whether the team can win depends on the whole.

"Yes, young players are more inexperienced and need to practice, but I always believe that as long as young players are given opportunities, they will repay you with rapid progress, maybe as long as you play a few games in a row, let them perform in a row, they can quickly build up their self-confidence, and their performance will naturally go up."

No one in the world knows the potential and strength of this team better than Ye Qiu, so he is very confident that the team can perform, and he even confidently said that Tottenham Hotspur in the new season is aiming for the top four in the league.

Martin Samuel also mentioned in the column that there is a great deal of unpredictability among young players, but Ye Qiu's eyes on players have always been very sharp, so Tottenham Hotspur is likely to become a dark horse in the Premier League this season to break the traditional semi-final monopoly of Champions League qualification.

"For the team coached by Ye Qiu, it is not too much to expect anything, at least for me personally"

But there are also many people who agree with Ye Qiu's statement, but they are still worried about Tottenham Hotspur's league prospects, for the simple reason that they have faced tough opponents at the beginning.

The first round of the league is to challenge Bolton Wanderers away, this team last season's Premier League home dragon away bug, if you simply use home games to calculate points, they can even rank sixth in the Premier League, even Tottenham Hotspur will be trampled under them, but the away game is too bad, directly ranked fifteenth, it can really be said to be a typical home dragon away bug.

The second round is against Sheffield United, the promoted horses of the season, and everyone knows that the promoted horses are often the hardest to grasp and the hardest to play because you don't know them at all.

Facing Everton at home in the third round, even if Everton was only 11th in the Premier League last season, no one dares to despise Moyes's team, because their Premier League performance in recent seasons has been good and bad year by year, if last season's performance was poor, then sorry, this year's Everton is going to rise.

After three league games, there is a two-week break before a fourth-round opponent hosts Chelsea.

The first three rounds are a warm-up game, and the fourth round is the highlight of Ye Qiu's return to the Premier League, and it is also another direct dialogue between Mourinho and Ye Qiu, and many people even say that this is a test of Tottenham Hotspur's success.

Such a start and schedule is undoubtedly a big test for Tottenham Hotspur, and in fact, even if a considerable number of people feel that there is no reliable prediction in the media, sometimes their predictions are still very well-founded.

In the opening match of the first round of the Premier League, Sheffield United, who was promoted to the Championship, was forced to draw by Liverpool at home

Yes, you read that right, it was Sheffield United who were held to a draw by Liverpool, and if it wasn't for a penalty at the crucial moment, which Fowler finally converted, the worst result would have been Liverpool's defeat of McTown.

Arsenal's debut at the new stadium was indeed enough, and everyone was expecting the Emirates Stadium's first Premier League game to get off to a good start, but who knows, Arsenal drew with Aston Villa in the first game, and Arsene Wenger's side would have lost at home had it not been for Gilberto Silva's late insertion in the 84th minute to help the Gunners equalize.

The upsets of both major teams are a testament to the fierce competition in the Premier League, but it is also a reminder to all the newcomers that the first round of a league game is often difficult to play.

Tottenham Hotspur also had a poor opening round of the league, with Kevin Davies scoring in the ninth minute to give Bolton the lead at the Reebok Stadium, although Tottenham Hotspur had lost the ball shortly after the opening kick-off.

After that, Tottenham Hotspur played a crazy offensive in the first half, and Ruud van Nistelrooy finally equalized in the 33rd minute, but in the second half, even if Ye Qiu kept reminding the players to pay attention to the Bolton midfielder's long-range shot, because there were already several such chances in the first half.

But in the first minute, the veteran Campo's goal broke through Tottenham Hotspur's goal again,

In the end, Tottenham Hotspur left the Reebok Stadium with the score and ushered in a black start

Ye Qiu said in the post-match press conference that such a result was acceptable, but also repeatedly said that it was not a problem with the players, "I believe that every Tottenham Hotspur player is desperate to win the game, and the responsibility for losing is more because of the pressure, because of our lack of experience." ”

"I don't think we have a problem with our strength, in terms of strength, we have completely overwhelmed Bolton, but they are the ones who won, this is a question worth thinking about, and we will seriously summarize it when we go back

On the contrary, Manchester United beat Fulham, Chelsea beat Manchester City 0, the Red Devils have been leading the standings since the first round, and Ferguson smiled from ear to ear after the game to say that Manchester United has not tasted the lead for a long time and hopes to continue running.

After the first round, Tottenham Hotspur was ranked 14th in the Premier League, and many media have reported that this is the most miserable start to the league since Ye Qiu's coaching career, and it is also the lowest ranking, because in the past, Ye Qiu's first round of the league was very poor and conservative, and he tried to keep a draw or even win, but now he has lost.

For a while, there were even many tabloids that provoked Ye Qiu.

"In the first round of the league, I told Ye Qiu with facts that the Premier League is no longer your Premier League"

"Leave for a year, you're completely left behind"

"Maybe this season's Tottenham Hotspur has hope to create a miracle, Ye Qiu led the team to a miracle of relegation"

Ye Qiu is accustomed to ridicule and ridicule from the outside world, because these tabloids often like to stimulate you with explosive news content, if you care, be provoked, or even counterattack, then you will lose.

Putting aside the disturbance of the outside world, he devoted himself to the preparation for the second round of the league.

In fact, after the league schedule came out, Ye Qiu specially arranged personnel to track and observe every game of Sheffield United, including the game against Liverpool in the first round of the league.

This can be seen from the fact that they have six defenders in the LL-man squad, of course, not all of them play in the back, but two defenders are deployed in midfield, also to strengthen the team's defense.

So a week later, Tottenham Hotspur sat at White Hart Lane, and launched a round of attacks directly after the start, and Vanney used two passes from Alves and Messi on the right side in the first minute to grab a point in the penalty area and penetrate the Sheffield United goal, 0

The game that followed was completely turned into a personal show for Tottenham Hotspur, and Sheffield United was completely stunned after being scored twice in a row.

First wanted to hold on, but then prepared to save, all of this did not escape Ye Qiu's expectations, before the end of the first half, Fabregas kicked a long pass over the top, Ribery quickly inserted, and after the success of the anti-offside position, a single goal was formed, 0

With this lead into the second half, Tottenham Hotspur still adopted a steady strategy, pulling Sheffield United out to play, when Jagielka accumulated two red cards for rushing Fabregas, the game was over, Sheffield United had no hope of a reversal.

Eventually, Ruud van Nistelrooy scored a hat-trick in the first minute, while substitute Ashhaven set up Davies' long-range shot from the edge of the box to add Tottenham Hotspur to a 0-0 win over Sheffield United at White Hart Lane.

Now, the situation is completely different.

Chelsea lost away to Middlesbrough in this round, and Manchester United beat Charlton Athletic 0. Arsenal beat Wigan 0, Liverpool beat Newcastle 0 and the Red Devils once again lead the Premier League, while Tottenham Hotspur quickly moved up to sixth in the league table, just a step away from the top four

The outside world has been hyped for a while, especially in this game, Tottenham Hotspur's possession and technical style of play displayed at the White Hart Lane stadium, coupled with the impactful and sharp breakthroughs on the two wings, have brought a very strong visual impact to the fans, but more importantly, this game was a big victory, a complete victory.

One round of heaven, one round of hell, Tottenham Hotspur were lifted to heaven after this round of matches.

But in just three days, in the third round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur welcomed Moyes's Everton, the team had another accident in the game, after the first half of the team was helped by Ruud van Nistelrooy to take the lead, there was an accident in the second half, Thiago Silva and Hangrande made mistakes, the two did not cooperate well enough, Thiago Silva blocked the opponent's pass into his own goal, and unexpectedly helped the opponent equalize.

What's worse is that Andrew Johansen used his flexible physicality to break through Hangrande after a ball in front, and hit the goal in the penalty area, and unexpectedly reversed Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane.

A big win over promoted horses in the previous round and a reversal by their main rivals in the next round is really not a good thing for Tottenham Hotspur, especially since Everton is still an important opponent for Tottenham Hotspur to retain the top five in the league this season.

In the first three rounds, one win and two losses accumulated three points, scored seven goals and conceded four goals, the only thing to be happy about is that Van Nistelrooy leads the league scorer list with five goals, and he alone almost covers most of Tottenham Hotspur's goals, which also surprises everyone, and they don't understand what is wrong with Ye Qiu's Tottenham Hotspur.

But it is clear that time will not wait for Tottenham Hotspur at all, nor will it give them enough time to adjust.

In the words of the media, except for Ye Qiu, who will not be fired because he is the owner of the team and has poor results, everything he does is no different from other head coaches.

In the subsequent UEFA draw ceremony, Tottenham Hotspur drew Slavia Prague from the Czech Republic, but the two legs were added because Ye Qiu was banned by UEFA when he was at Chelsea before, so he could not directly participate in the command of the two legs.

Interestingly, one of the shareholders of Slavia Prague is the former owner of Tottenham Hotspur, PNIC, and Levy now works at this club, and he even jokingly said that he would not mind falling into the trap for Ye Qiu's Tottenham Hotspur, because this is definitely a good opportunity for Slavia Prague to make a name for themselves.

If Ye Qiu's Tottenham Hotspur can be eliminated from the first round of the League Cup, then everyone will know this team.

It is in this kind of worry from the outside world, and Ye Qiu himself is closed to the guests, and he is in full swing with the coaching staff to study how to adjust the team, especially in the team's defense, as well as the overall offense and defense.

Ye Qiu also found that one of the factors in the team's poor performance was the control of the rhythm.

It can be said that everything in this world has a rhythm factor, such as cross talk, people who say cross talk are not just compiling dialogue lines, the rhythm of each dialogue is exquisite, fast and slow, silent for a second, all affect the creation of the atmosphere, affect whether the audience laughs or not, and also affects the success or unsuccess of your cross talk.

But these must be mastered before they can appreciate the mysteries.

Ye Qiu himself understands, he can grasp it, but the players can't, they can only give enough time to let them explore slowly.

Of course, Ye Qiu also plans to increase this aspect of training appropriately in the next training, because the team's rhythm is controlled by everyone's feet, not just one of the players.

Tottenham Hotspur can only find their own rhythm and be truly integrated as a whole

But after the team re-trained, Tottenham Hotspur soon welcomed Chelsea
