At halftime, Henry asked with interest: "What do you think of the first half?"

For Tottenham's tactical play this season, Gerrard's Liverpool and Ryan Giggs' Manchester United have brought a lot of trouble.

Liverpool have completed a double against Tottenham this season, but it has been a tough one.

Under Mauricio Pochettino's tutelage, the players are versatile and adaptable, which is why they are tactically flexible.

Gerrard said: "Coming to City defended well in the first 40 minutes and there were a couple of dangerous counter-attacks. But the players were not physically fit to sustain such a high pace of play, which is why they collapsed in the last five minutes. ”

Ryan Giggs nodded in agreement and said: "Another thing that is particularly important is the mentality of the players. If it weren't for the long period at the bottom, they could have adjusted quickly after being scored the first goal by Tottenham and not have been scored again. ”

"In the second half, if they can't adjust, I'm afraid it will be a big score."

In the last round of the league, Manchester United played Tottenham at home, and in the first 65 minutes, the two sides still did not score a goal.

The essence of Manchester United's giants was on display at this moment, scoring three goals in the final 25 minutes to beat Tottenham Hotspur by a big score.

All three are top players with excellent anticipation of the situation on the pitch and against a team like Tottenham Hotspur, the slightest mistake will lead to goals.

Henry leaned back and said: "Actually, there are still some problems in Tottenham's defense, it depends on whether they can catch it."

Giggs sneered: "Even if you know, do they have a super player who can tear through the defense?"

Gerard said meaningfully, "Not necessarily."

Pearson laid out the second-half tactics in the dressing room.

Due to the ban, he could not command on the spot, and if he used a walkie-talkie, he could not cope with the rapidly changing game situation.

Craig's command is clearly not mature enough, and if he can continue to press after conceding the first goal, perhaps Eriksen will not be able to push forward as he pleases.

"I know you're tired, but the opponent is no better than us."

Pearson calmly analyzed: "Tottenham are also pressing high, they are also quite expensive, and Pochettino's kid always asks for attack, and there will definitely be problems in defense."

Watching the game from the stands gave Pearson a different perspective on the game.

After conceding the goal, Tottenham switched from attack to defense very quickly, and this continuous high-intensity rhythm will definitely bring great physical drain.

Now approaching the second half of the league, the players are not physically prepared to continue to press at such a high level.

Crotch pulling is inevitable.

"Ronaldo, in the second half, you have to drop back more to get the ball, like Eriksen, I give you more freedom up front."

"Danny, Riad, you go warm up and be ready to play."

Drinkwater and Mahrez nodded.

"In short, don't be afraid of them. As long as we dare to press up, we have a chance to score. ”

After leaving Tottenham, Redknapp paid little attention.

Until the start of the season, his Rangers had to play Tottenham and suffered a 4-0 defeat in the first leg.

When it comes to tactical flexibility, Pochettino does a better job than him, and the players tend to be diverse, which can enrich the team's style of play.

However, such a tactical system must require players to practice twice on weekdays in order to achieve such an effect.

In the Premier League, where the schedule is so tight, long-term high-intensity training, the second half of the team is the easiest to pull the hips.

And the diversity of player abilities only applies to Tottenham's current system.

Once a player moves to another team, he or she has to adapt on his or her own adaptability.

Otherwise, it is easy to fall into a slump and be reduced from the main force to the substitute.

In the second half, Lyicester City kicked off.

Tottenham continued to use the familiar tackles to press their opponents.

Pochettino's aim is clear: to maximise the advantage when his players are fit.

After the midfield changes, Lyrcole City formed the same formation as in the first half, and when attacking, Schlupp and Jamie Vardy on the left will actively move forward to change the formation to 4-4-2.

When pushing forward to just outside the Tottenham penalty area, Nugent on the right would pull up the side and make it 4-3-3.

When you retreat, it becomes 5-4-1 again.

Although not as agile as Tottenham, the lateral coverage of the back five can stifle Tottenham's attack on both flanks.

The promotion of central midfielder Matthew James can also give the defensive line a deep protection.

In this case, Tottenham's attack could not be scored, and Rest City could not be attacked.

Pochettino would naturally like to see that happen, given the lead and the advantage.

Eager to change that balance, Pearson used the intercom to give instructions in the 60th minute, and Drinkwater replaced Matthew James to strengthen a playmaker in midfield.

When Drinkwater came on the pitch, the position would be raised, closer to the front line, and the space behind him was handed over to Cambiaso to check the gap.

Seeing that his opponent was leaning in attack, Pochettino sent the full-back forward to press through the half-pitch and act as a winger.

At this time, Rossi has also switched positions with Nugent, allowing him to come to the middle to increase the advantage of grabbing points.

Pochettino, who observed this subtle change, was on the weak side of full-back Danny, and defended to the middle to defend Nugent.

Rossi, who came to the wing, was invisible and had almost no chance to get the ball.

Because the offense is all focused on the other side.

Pearson put Schlupp on the left wing to take advantage of his physical fitness, ability to go up and down, and to increase the strength of the wing.

Tottenham couldn't take advantage of that side and tried to move laterally, but Vardy and Nugent intercepted the ball and pushed them to one side, leaving them unable to get out of the ball.

The two teams battled on the flanks, and Tottenham's midfield would slowly move to the strong side in an attempt to establish a numerical advantage.

With right-back Walker playing on the wingers for long periods of time, Tottenham's defenders have always been in a three-centre-back defensive system.

That gives Lyicester City a chance.

In the 68th minute, Lyicester City actively fought on the left side, and after Cambiaso broke the ball, he passed diagonally to Nugent on the left side of the penalty area.

Nugent easily faced the ball in front of left wing-back Danny Rose and behind him with Shazli and Bentaleb behind them.

If only against this area, Tottenham's defence is a success.

But they overlooked a very important point, which is Rossi on the weak side.

With the two teams previously locked on the left, Shazli, who was supposed to defend Rossi, moved to the strong side to assist the team.

After Elkeson conceded the goal, he didn't get back in place at the first time, leaving Rossi's wing unguarded.

Nugent saw Rossi's position and tapped lightly, and Rossi followed up to adjust his pace and directly pushed the goal to the left foot of the goal.

Lloris went down quickly on the attack, but couldn't stop the ball from slipping under his armpit and into the corner of the net.

[goal, the ball is in!] 】

[This is taking advantage of a mistake by a Tottenham player and a goal is pulled back by Rossi.] 】

[In this defense, we can clearly see that Shazli's obvious misposition led to the goal conceded. 】

[Tottenham are always thinking about attacking, which leads to Shazli's defensive awareness of the wings very unpleasant. 】

[Before the change, Luo and Nugent had an exchange, could it be that he saw through the characteristics of Shazley's offense over defense, so that Nugent, who has a stronger ability to fight for the top, to attract the defense. 】

After conceding the goal, Shazli was also very annoyed, and shot the ball into the net again to vent his dissatisfaction.

Pochettino was furious, accusing Shazli of a defensive mistake and replacing him with Paulinho two minutes later.

After Shazli came off, Paulinho played as a left midfielder, but when attacking, he still relied on the pressure of two wings.

Bentareb returned to centre-back to form a quadruple centre-back, strengthening the lateral width of the defence.

Ryan Giggs in the stands, smiling after Tottenham conceded a goal, is Pochettino's weakness in charge of Tottenham.

Offense is stronger than defense.

While a three-centre-back can give a numerical advantage to the attack, once the opponent passes the ball laterally, the weak-side defence will be porous.

Pochettino has only started managing Tottenham this season and it makes sense to have such a weakness.

Against the middle and lower teams, it is a flaw.

But against a strong team, it's a different story.

Perhaps he didn't expect that Lyicester City would be able to catch his own subtle mistake.

He made timely adjustments to put Paulinho, who was balanced in attack and defense, on the field, and a mistake like the one just now, I am afraid that it will not appear again in the next game, how should the Leicester City team face it?

And the attack just now was obviously a change of position adjustment made by Rossi and his teammates after seeing through the opponent's weakness.

Such a high IQ and super playing ability are indispensable potentials for players.

Giggs was interested.

This trip to White Hart Lane is worth the trip.

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
