Chapter 338: Give You Two a Nest!
"This Tottenham team should still not be able to win against Chelsea."
Ringel's voice rang out in the Sky Sports studio.
And then, the former England legend even sighed.
Today's studio still has Chelsea legend Zola, but not another Tottenham legend as is customary.
That's because—
Coming to Inkel is the old Tottenham himself!
In June 1989, Ingkel was called upon by his mentor Vinables to move to Tottenham Hotspur for £1.2 million.
In three seasons at Tottenham, he scored 77 goals in 105 league games and won the FA Cup in 1991.
Therefore, there is absolutely no problem with Inker being a Tottenham legend.
"Although it can be seen that Pochettino has done a lot of detailed research on Pan Yi's line-up and has also made a good response in this game, Pan Yi seems to have made his own preparations for Pochettino's changes."
Leinkel continued:
'Chelsea's attack is very rhythmic and very good and doesn't get messed up by tackles.
"After Hazard was hit by the goal just now, Lukaku in the middle immediately came over to press, and at this time, Chelsea's entire formation was tilted to this side, that is, to inject a lot of troops here."
"It shows that Chelsea have been prepared for such an attack, and they will have to concentrate on counter-attacking and secondary attacks as soon as the ball is broken."
'Obviously it was the right strategy because the Spurs players were in a state of counter-attacking after a break. At this point, the ball changed hands again, which made Tottenham's defence very shaky. ”
'Lukaku got the ball and immediately passed it to Bernardo Silva, who came to pick up the gap in the ribs, and immediately afterwards there was a good link with N'Golo Kante, who also ran into the gap between Tottenham's two centre-backs and had a one-on-one chance to score.
Alain Shearer also agrees with Leinkel's analysis, saying:
"Yes. Chelsea's pressing up front is arguably the most layered team. ”
"I don't know if you have noticed, after Hazard was cut off the ball, in fact, except for Lukaku and Bernardo Silva in the front line, all the players in Chelsea's midfield at this time had a clear forward movement."
'It's that kind of move, it's more of Chelsea's backhand. Even if Lukaku fails to press this time and Dier can get the ball out, the Tottenham players who receive the ball will immediately face more pressing, and the chance of conceding the ball is still very high. ”
"Unless Tottenham choose to move widely, maybe they can crack the layered frontcourt pressing like Chelsea, but players with this ability are in the minority after all, at least not Dier."
"Of course, I can also reasonably guess that if the person holding the ball at this time is a world-class player who is more capable of playing penetrating passes, Pan Yi may be a different strategy......
Ringel smiled again: "You said before that if you play in the current Chelsea team, you will definitely not be able to play the main team. And what I want to say is that if a striker like me who doesn't defend comes, I will definitely be kicked back to my hometown by Pan Yi during the trial......"
This can be regarded as an affirmation of Pan Yi's all-round style of play as a Chelsea central midfielder.
After all, Inkel is not just England Footballer of the Year, nor is it just the top scorer in the World Cup.
He is a very prolific shooter!
In fact, in the 12 seasons from 1981 to 1992, Ingkel actually scored fewer than 15 goals in only one year, and that was the year he played as a right midfielder rather than a striker at Barca.
Strikers with this kind of efficiency all say that they can't enter Pan Yi's eyes, which shows how high Pan Yi's requirements for strikers are.
It is well known that Ringel also has a proud record of never receiving a yellow or red card throughout his career, earning him the nicknames "Mr. Innocence" and "Football Gentleman".
However, this has more to do with the fact that he plays as a striker and is rarely involved in defense.
After all, in the eighties and nineties, it was true that the strikers were rarely involved in defense.
Or even a little later, the strikers are still goal-oriented.
Can you imagine strikers like Ronaldo and Romario, rushing all over the field every day to stare at other people's defenders rushing up to grab the ball?
Let's put it this way, if you let Romario run a few steps, he loses! The same goes for "dashing brother" Berbatov.
Times are really different.
If Ringer is allowed to play in the current Chelsea team, he will use his body to carry people every day, and sooner or later he will have to eat a yellow card.
"To be able to scramble, to be a fulcrum, to score goals, these are real modern strikers." Alan Shearer also sighed, "It's good that we were born ten or twenty years early, otherwise we would have died of exhaustion, haha." ”
"It's not just the strikers who are getting more demanding." Carragher also said, "A centre-back like me may be able to play in some middle and lower teams now, but in Pan Yi's Chelsea team, I will definitely not be able to play." ”
One of the most obvious characteristics of the modern centre-back is that the demands on passing and even dribbling have become very high.
The traditional central defender only needs to do well defensively, which is almost the same as the traditional center forward only requires attack.
Now in Chelsea's team, Terry and Cahill's passing ability is actually very good, so they can have more opportunities to play under Pan Yi.
But Pan Yi is indeed using more effort to develop young centre-backs like Ake who are more capable of playing the ball.
Because what he requires, the ideal central defender who can play the ball is to have the ability to pass the ball suddenly and cut forward while doing a good job of defense, and instantly increase the firepower of the attack in the front court.
Of course, there is one template for a centre-back in the current Chelsea squad, and that's David Luiz.
He is an all-round central defender who has skills at his feet, can pass the ball and dribble forward, and is also a versatile central defender with speed and height and bounce.
If there's one weakness in him, it's that sometimes he's frizzy with the ball and emotionally agitated.
But everyone must have shortcomings, otherwise wouldn't they be invincible?
In fact, the Tao of a thousand says ten thousand, which is one word: "omnipotence".
Strikers are required to be able to defend, defenders are required to be able to attack, full-backs can be wingers, and wingers can also be full-backs.
Needless to say, the midfielder is originally a variety of all-round midfielders, all kinds of B2B, and even the goalkeeper can be a scavenger.
And many coaches actually understand this truth, but it is difficult to find or train these players, and mix them together to form a perfect lineup.
Now it is Pan Yi's Chelsea who has done it, so they will seem so invincible.
Leinkel concludes:
"Pan Yi has turned football upside down."
"If it weren't for him, the Premier League teams and coaches might not be as embarrassed as they are today."
"Because under the backdrop of Pan Yi, whether it is Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, or Van Gaal's Manchester United, or Pochettino's Tottenham today, they all feel very backward, both offensive and defensive are very monotonous."
"Pan Yi has been changing football and injecting new ideas into world football."
"And it all started when he entered professional football in 2011......
-----------------
The game has reached the second half.
The scramble on the field is becoming more and more intense, and the scene of people turning over on their backs is not uncommon.
After all, it's a battle of mortal enemies!
Chelsea's players were naturally hoping to beat their opponents at home, while Tottenham's players were not to be outdone, hoping to pull back a little bit of momentum before finding a way to equalise.
In this way, the smell of gunpowder also comes.
In the 67th minute, Bench B won the ball on the right flank and then knocked it back to Azpilicueta, who came in to pick it up.
The Spaniard played down the middle and again into the centre circle of his own half and handed it to N'Golo Kante.
N'Golo Kante had just gotten the ball and Dale was just making a flying tackle on this side!
The goal in the first half was largely due to his being cut off, so he was also holding his breath.
And Kante couldn't dodge and was directly shoveled to the ground!
The ball rolled down the right again, Azpilicueta got on the ball again, and Danny Rose was quick enough to rush over for another tackle!
This time, it was even Azpilicueta who shoveled the ball out of the sideline.
The referee's whistle blew at this time.
But Danny Rose's tackle happened right next to the Chelsea home side's bench, with Azpilicueta even rolling into his own bench, leaving the Chelsea players and coaches out of action.
One by one, they rushed forward to find Danny Ross theorizing.
And the bench on Tottenham's side also rushed up, and the two sides suddenly twisted into a mess.
The referee blew the whistle again and again, and finally pulled the players on both sides aside.
And then...... There was not a single yellow card!
It was just a Chelsea free-kick along the right flank.
However, the two sides did not make a big fuss.
This is mainly due to the fact that there are actually many acquaintances in both teams.
For example, Paulinho has a very good relationship with Pan Yi, and David Luiz and others are both Brazilian internationals;
Another example is that Tottenham has Vertonghen, Moussa Dembele, and so many Belgian fellows in Shadley;
Not to mention the fact that both sides are lined with France and England internationals.
Even Tottenham's Pochettino and Chelsea's Scaloni are old Argentine acquaintances, and Tottenham's Lamela and Fazio, who started at Tottenham, are also Argentine.
So everyone didn't make much noise and went back to playing.
Pan Yi is even more nothing, he has always disliked playing any tricks off the field, or really doing anything, as long as the players are not injured.
The scale of the Premier League is big, and there is really nothing the referee can do if he doesn't give cards.
At this time, I only heard Scaloni fighting the opponent's substitute goalkeeper, and the Dutchman Worm Mitchell was still arguing in the air, arguing about something "Is this a kick, this is a tackle!" "He's got the ball!" This kind of rhetoric does not convince anyone.
It was only after the dissuasion of the fourth official that the two men died down.
Then, Pan Yi suddenly heard Scaloni yelling in Spanish: "Give you two a nest? Nest for both of you! ”
When I turned my head to look, I saw Worm Mitchell glaring at Scaloni without speaking, and there was a big "You can look at me again?" "Try it!" feelings.
Pan Yi couldn't help scratching his head.
An Argentinian who said to a Dutchman, "Give you two a nest", how can this scene be so familiar?
-----------------
The game continued.
In the 78th minute, Chelsea won the ball in midfield and then immediately attacked.
Tottenham also retreated quickly, and in an instant all the players were back in their positions.
At this time, there were some changes in Chelsea's front line.
Lukaku suddenly ran from the centre to the left and looked like he was going to run open to catch the ball.
Hazard, who was originally standing on the left side, ran to the middle and switched places with Oscar on the right side of the bench.
This series of actions confuses Tottenham's defenders, who are a little unsure of how to defend.
Because now it is suddenly Oscar who is standing in the central striker position, and the left winger is Romelu Lukaku and the right winger is Eden Hazard.
At this time, David Luiz, who was advancing with the ball in the middle, came directly with an overhead pass.
The ball flew just past Vertonghen's header and fell behind him.
At this time, Lukaku, who had already run to the left wing, suddenly made another sharp stop and turned and chased towards David Luiz's pass.
It turns out that Oscar and Hazard are both sheep attackers, and Lukaku is the main attack!
At this time, Tottenham's other central defender, Fazio, hurriedly chased back and clung to Lukaku to prevent him from having another chance to make a single attempt.
Lukaku stepped forward, and when he reached the penalty line, he found that there was no way to completely get rid of Fazio's defense, so he simply came with a powerful volley!
The ball was almost attached to the turf and went straight to the bottom left corner of the goal with great speed.
It's just that at the moment when the ball was about to go into the net, Tottenham goalkeeper Lloris made a very fast pounce and blocked the ball!
Before the frustrated "oh" of the Stamford Bridge fans fell, another blue figure appeared in the box and kicked the ball out again.
This time, the ball went into the Tottenham goal almost in a straight line!
It's the Oscars!
He made a crucial stoppage!
Lori tried to get up and pounce on the ball again, and it was impossible to touch the ball again.
“goallllllllllllllllllll!
!
!
”
"This time it's Oscar!"
"Oscar, who has just been replaced, took advantage of a chance to shoot to help Chelsea expand the score to 2:0!"
'It was a beautiful combination of Chelsea's attacking trio up front, and it was an effective attack.
'Lukaku's shot was blocked, but Oscar's well-timed follow-up ensured the goal.
"In fact, we can see from the slow motion that Hazard has also been inserted into the penalty area, even if Oscar fails to grab this second spot, there is still Hazard waiting behind."
"And Tottenham's backline seemed to be dazzled by Chelsea's dazzling combination, and they all stood in place in a daze......"
On the sidelines, Pan Yi and the coaching staff were also cheering loudly for the goal.
Scaloni even waved his arms at the Tottenham bench a little defiantly, but was still pulled down by Pan Yi.
Enough is enough, otherwise it will not be good to be suspended and fined or something.
Tottenham, on the other hand, no one even noticed Scaloni's movements.
Because they're all lost.
Especially manager Mauricio Pochettino.
He spent a lot of time studying Pan Yi's tactics, and finally came up with today's formation and starting lineup, but in the end he was cracked by Pan Yi.
It can be said that Tottenham Hotspur did little in attack tonight.
On the defensive end, although the performance is actually quite good in theory, it is also full of problems under Chelsea's various sharp intersperses and pressing.
"We're defeated!" Pochettino sighed helplessly.
At Chelsea's home stadium, with just ten minutes to go and two goals down, Pochettino knew better than anyone that Tottenham were powerless.
The teaching assistants next to them also nodded helplessly.
They can only accept the fact that Chelsea are better than Tottenham today.
No one wants to admit defeat, but if it's a stronger team, a better team wins, there's not much to say.
And Tottenham are playing at their own level after all, conceding only two goals under such strong pressure from Chelsea.
You look at Arsenal next door, you look at Manchester United......
-----------------
At the end of the game, Chelsea eventually beat Tottenham 2-0 thanks to goals from Romelu Lukaku and Oscar.
It was also their 14th consecutive win in the Premier League this season!
While equalling Arsenal's winning streak, they have also raised their Premier League opening winning streak to a height that will be difficult for future generations to achieve.
After the game, there were naturally a lot of reports from major media outlets, but it can be summed up in this sentence:
"Who can put an end to Pan Yi? Who can add even a little suspense to this season's Premier League title? ”
After all, in BIG6, Chelsea has played all of them, and they have won them all!
And whether it's the score or the scene, it seems to be a one-sided feeling.
3:1 Manchester City, 4:1 Arsenal, 5:0 Manchester United, 3:1 Liverpool, 2:0 Tottenham......
Scored 17 goals and conceded only 3.
It's horrible!
And if even the big6 can't stop Pan Yi and his Chelsea, how can other teams have the confidence to do so?
"Maybe it's just West Ham United and Southampton, who have done well this season?"
Some media outlets say so, but they don't really have much confidence.
Although these two teams have also been in the top six of the standings, after all, in terms of lineup, they cannot be compared to the big6.
In the past round of 14 matches, Southampton also lost 0-1 to Arsenal, which made it even more difficult for them to maintain such good form.
It's just that before actually facing these two dark horses, Chelsea have made people jaw-dropping with their sharper performances.
Just two days after the win over Tottenham, Chelsea travelled to Newcastle United.
Newcastle haven't been bad this season, sitting in ninth place after 14 rounds, between Liverpool and Tottenham.
But the suspense of the game was killed at the 30-minute mark.
Just five minutes into the game, Willian opened the scoring for Chelsea.
In the 18th and 28th minutes, Joao Cancelo and Ake scored for Chelsea to extend the score to 0:3.
At this point, no one thought Chelsea were going to lose.
After the restart, Chelsea scored a long-range strike from Ramires to secure a four-goal win over Newcastle.
At this point, they have also won 15 consecutive victories, officially breaking the record held by Arsenal for 15 years!
The whole Premier League was stunned!
-----------------
However, it was at this time that Chelsea came to a draw.
It's just that this draw did not appear in the Premier League.
Four days after winning Newcastle, Chelsea host Sporting Portugal in the final round of the Champions League group stage.
Compared with Chelsea, who are lightly traveling, and Sporting Portugal, who still have a glimmer of hope, it is natural that the latter will be more combative.
They withstood Chelsea's opening attack before William Carvalho opened the scoring for Sporting with a long-range strike.
After a second-half restart, Chelsea equalised in the 55th minute when Andreas Christensen headed in from a corner.
But it didn't take long for Sporting to cross from Nani's side, and center forward Mondello rushed into the left side of the penalty area at high speed and hit the goal with a header from close range, which exceeded the score again for Sporting Portugal, 1:2.
In the 78th minute, after Pan Yi's substitution adjustment, Chelsea's offensive gradually increased, and finally Matic also scored a long-range shot and equalized again.
】
The score of 2:2 was also maintained until the end.
It was also the only time this season that Chelsea have failed to win in the Champions League!
However, as this was an "inconsequential" game for Chelsea, the media did not play it to a great extent.
Sporting were not happy with the draw with Chelsea, as their efforts did not yield a good result, after all, they did not get the life-saving three points.
In the other field, Borussia Dortmund also narrowly beat Roma 2-1.
With this victory, Dortmund also qualified from the group with 8 points!
The competitions in other groups have also come to an end.
In Group A, Juventus drew 0-0 with Atletico Madrid in a crucial battle of life and death, thus beating Olympiacos in the same group by one point and joining hands with Atletico Madrid to qualify.
Group B broke out a big upset.
Liverpool were eliminated from the tournament after drawing with Ludogorets and Basel in the final two rounds, and were overtaken by Basel in the final two rounds.
Real Madrid and Basel qualified from Group B with first and second place in their group respectively!
There were no favourites in Group C, and in the end, Monaco and Schalke 04 beat off Zenit St. Petersburg and Benfica to qualify from the group.
Group D was rounded out by Porto and Arsenal. The only slight surprise here is that Porto are top of the group and Arsenal are only second in the group.
Group E is no suspense, Bayern Munich and Manchester City two strong teams qualified.
The same is true for Group F, with Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain qualifying.
Group G is Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund.
Group H is Shakhtar Hamburg vs Shakhtar Donetsk!
Although they have stumbled in the Bundesliga and have been bouncing up and down the European places, they have been in good form in the Champions League, with three wins, two draws and one defeat and finishing top of the group.
Of course, this also has something to do with the weaker opponents in their group.
After all, neither Shakhtar Donetsk, Athletic Bilbao, nor Borisov Bart are really strong teams.
And when the Champions League group stage is all over, everyone will have to set their eyes on Nyon, Switzerland, on December 15.
At UEFA headquarters there, UEFA Secretary General Gianni Infantino will draw for the last 16 of this season's Champions League!
