The game kicked off at White Hart Lane.

White Hart Lane, which can accommodate 32,000 spectators, was packed.

England fans are very passionate about football, and this sport, which has been developed for 100 years, has been deeply integrated into their blood and has become a link in the DNA double helix.

What's more, this is still a contest between "old and new madmen", full of gimmicks

The game begins.

Jose Mourinho has always adhered to his football philosophy.

As a manager with character, Mourinho's coaching style is unusually distinctive.

A team of iron-blooded defenders

You say that he is solid defensively, or that he likes to "swing the bus", in short, Mourinho's team, defense is the first priority.

On the offensive end, he relies more on the individual qualities of the players. Whether it is Chelsea's Drogba and Robben, or Inter Milan's Diego Milito and Eto'o, or Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema. Jose Mourinho needs the individual ability of his stars in attack.

And now Tottenham Hotspur, the lineup is very much in line with Mourinho's requirements.

Needless to say, Mourinho attaches importance to the defensive system, not necessarily the strongest defensive player, but must be the most suitable defender for himself, the most typical example is Ricardo Carvalho, this Portuguese player, whether it is personal defensive ability, or physical fitness, is not the top, but it is extremely valued and trusted by Mourinho, no matter where he coaches, he must be by his side.

What's more, defensive giants such as Dier, Reguilon, and Aurier are far from unknown.

As for the offensive end, it is a good card, Kane is more comprehensive in the center forward position than Diego Milito when Mu Bird won the Champions League at Inter Milan, Son Xingmin's speed and impact are the most needed in Mourinho's tactics, which can be seen as a weakened version of Ronaldo or Bale, and Ali, Lamela, Lucas Jr. and others are also good attackers.

It can be said that Tottenham Hotspur is the best team to play the football of Jose Mourinho's philosophy.

After the opening, Tottenham resolutely followed Mourinho's counter-attacking strategy.

The Muslim defense line is very strong, and the distance between the defenders is very good, which can help each other and take care of each other, but not too close, and there is a situation where one side is crowded and the other side is empty.

Midfielders Ndombele and Sissoko swept in the middle and covered a lot of coverage, creating a solid barrier in front of the backline.

At the back, several players have good mobility, both from a zone position and can switch to man-to-man mode at any time, ensuring that Maritimo's threatening attacking points can be taken care of.

And the rest of the players are also actively defending back, and in Mourinho's dictionary, there is no player who does not defend. Even Ronaldo, who was scolded by Mourinho for failing to defend in time at Real Madrid.

Defensively, combined with a superior defensive system, Tottenham's defence is exceptionally solid.

And their counter-attacks from time to time are smooth and sharp, giving full play to the talent and characteristics of the stars in the front court.

After playing for a while, Maritimo had a feeling up and down that this team was familiar.

Careful care, solid defense, sharp counter-attack, this is not Red Bull Salzburg

It's just that Tottenham is more mature, sophisticated, and stronger than Red Bull

It's no wonder what is the value of Red Bull, what is the value of Tottenham, what level of player is Red Bull, and what level of player is Tottenham Hwang Hee-chan can play with Son Heung-min Gukoita can play with Carmela Bidaka and Kane, well, sorry, these two names can't be mentioned together.

When Mourinho dominated Europe with defensive counter-attacks, Marsch didn't know where to watch TV while learning Mourinho's tactics

If Red Bull Salzburg's defensive counter-attack is at the level of high school students, then Tottenham are postdocs

Maritimo's attack was stubbornly blocked in front of Tottenham.

The opponent's dense defensive formation made it difficult for Maritimo to transmit the ball smoothly; The strong individual ability of the opposing player makes the offensive team's dribbling breakthrough ineffective. Moreover, the opponent gave full play to English football, focusing on confrontation and liking a hard-hitting style, which made the Maritimo players, who are more inclined to technical flow play, very uncomfortable.

There are often scenes of being knocked to the ground and crawling.

I don't know if it's because at Tottenham's home stadium, the referee was also harassed by the atmosphere of English football, and the penalty scale was very wide, and it was actually very English football's style of "as long as you don't die, you will play to death".

See that you can't take too much advantage. Maritimo could only press the formation. But the seasoned Tottenham team. Very good at judging the situation. The visitors' formation pressed forward slightly, and they seized the opportunity to fight back resolutely.

Son Heung-min's speed and impact, Lamela's technique and dribbling, and Ali's offensive organization and passing have all posed a great threat to Maritimo's backline, not to mention, Kane, the current British Empire's No. 1 center, is firmly on the weak point of Maritimo's defense.

It looked like it was a six-four start, with Maritimo dominating possession and attack.

But in terms of threat, it is nowhere near as good as the forty percent of the ball that Tottenham holds.

Tottenham didn't have many strikes into the 30-metre area of the opposition goal and had fewer shots, but they were a threat with their feet.

Even if he failed to shoot in the end, or hit the plane, the resolute and sharp counterattack also made the home audience of White Hart Lane cheer up and cheer.

Even Duan Xuan, the sports commentator of this game, said: "Mourinho is really old and spicy, and he listens to thunder in a silent place." Set up a position, wait for the opponent to attack, and then see the move and fight the opponent's counterattack. It looked like Maritimo was playing well, but the game had unconsciously entered Mourinho's favourite rhythm"

In the 26th minute, Maritimo had an offensive opportunity, but there was a small flaw in the pass, and the passing power of J Ronaldo's cross to Wang Zi was slightly smaller, which was predicted in advance by Ndombele and intercepted halfway.

Ndombele stole the ball and immediately played to Carmela on the right.

Carmela burst forward with the ball to attract the attention of Maritimo's defence, and suddenly a long long ball from long distance hit the feet of Son Heung-min on the left wing.

The South Korean was unguarded and he strode forward with the ball quickly and at great speed.

It's the rhythm that Korean stars do best.

Although Aguilar, who was guarding this side, came over in time, Sun Xingmin had no idea of fighting with his opponent at all, and left Aguilar behind him and rushed into the penalty area with a very unreasonable trip.

However, Aguilar's defense was not completely ineffective, and Son Heung-min took the ball a little off the line in order to avoid him, and the angle was very small.

But there is also a Kane in the middle of the penalty area, who has taken up a good position near the penalty spot, and if Son Heung-min passes the ball, it will be very dangerous

Sun Xingmin got to his feet

He didn't pass the ball, he shot himself

But the angle was too small, Niu Gensheng would not let such a ball into the net, and he steadily blocked the ball.

The fans at White Hart Lane let out a sigh of regret, mixed with a few boos.

And Kane was even more angry, spreading his hands and angrily accusing Koreans of eating alone

Sun Xingmin knew that he was at a loss, and ran back dejectedly.

This is also Sun Xingmin's old problem, he is a bit lonely at a critical time, but his teammates are not tolerant and trusting of him enough.

If the same ball were Carmella, or Ali, Kane would have muttered a few words, but never so violently.

In the end, it is the arrogant Europeans, especially the British, who are responsible for the contempt for Asian football.

Although, Sun Xingmin has done a very good job.

Asian football has a long way to go

However, this ball also scared Gao Yuan into a cold sweat.

It's not okay to keep playing like this, you have to find a way to adjust
