0255 Evolution of full-backs 4
After the game against Fenerbahce, Leeds United rushed home non-stop to prepare for the Carabao Cup final in three days' time, where they will face a semi-home side Tottenham.
Because the final was played at Wembley Stadium in London, and Tottenham was located in north London, Tottenham had the advantage in this match from the fan side.
It's just that the game is not about who can win with more fans, it mainly depends on the actual strength of the two teams to see.
However, Leeds United have some difficulties here for the upcoming fixtures.
Charlotte Black, a young right-back who has previously excelled on the inside, has suffered from the flu and could miss the Carabao Cup final.
The news came out and Tottenham's head of coaching staff breathed a sigh of relief, as Tottenham had not yet prepared for the new full-back style of play used by Leeds United in previous games.
Although as early as last season, George Lee proposed a full-back style of play, but the effect was not as brilliant as the last game against Fenerbahce.
Although Baines on the left side has tried a few times, he is still in the position on the left side, and he has not completely liberated the team's original back like Blake.
This is the problem that many Premier League teams are facing now, Leeds United players have a lot of change in position on the field, and can always create a numerical advantage by not running much, so as to take the initiative in defense and attack.
After the first leg of the Champions League last-16 knockout round, both the BBC and Sky TV interviewed several football authorities, and the analysis concluded that this was a new tactical change, and the target would depend on whether their opponents had a way to do it in the next few games.
After watching this show, Tottenham manager Ramos directly broke the remote control in his hand.
This group of so-called experts is clearly standing and talking without backache, and if Tottenham Hotspur has no way to take Leeds United's tactics, it means that George Lee's tactics are very clever; If you can target Leeds United's new tactics well in the next game, then Leeds United's opponents will just use it and copy their homework.
And the people who copy the homework are not stupid, they will improve the answer better in the process of copying the homework, so that the answer to this question is more perfect.
In fact, Ramos is not out of the question, and Fenerbahce's tactics in the second half of the first half in the last game were very good. It is to attack the left side, that is, the right side of Leeds United, so that the overall formation of Leeds United cannot be well placed.
However, the Tottenham manager looked at the cards in his hand and found that there was no player like Carlos, and he didn't even have a decent main player on the left side.
On the right flank, there was a good assist on the right side of the road, with Zim Bonda who was able to get forward. The team's right midfielder is okay, but Ramos can only use the word "okay" to describe Lennon. Because Lennon was sold to Tottenham by Leeds United this season, Leeds United is not short of money, if the team's players are not as good as Lennon, Leeds United will sell you Tottenham.
There is a big gap on the left side, and the Tottenham left-back is ready to send the little-known Hatton, and the left-back Ramos said that he still needs to consider who to consider.
It has reached the sprint stage of the second half of the season, and the teams in the Premier League are more or less injured.
There is a clear example, that is, Arsenal, who were second in the league in the first half, fell behind after the New Year, and the drop is still very serious, and has been caught up and surpassed by Chelsea, and they will start fighting to keep the Champions League place.

Before the game, many reporters outside Wembley Stadium were outside the stadium to interview fans and spectators who were about to enter the stadium.
Among them, there was a lucky female ITV reporter who interviewed Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, who watched the game as a spectator today. When asked what he thought of his disciple's new use of full-backs, Ferguson replied.
"Before George Lee did that, or by now, I think the best full-back was Maldini. I've played against him a few times, I've seen a lot of his highlights, and the impression he gives me is based on solid defensive ability and attitude, and then try to match the attack as much as possible. ”
"For the players themselves, the defense is the most important thing and the attack is secondary."
"Although Brazil's Carlos and Cafu are excellent in attack, there is no denying that defense is the foundation of a full-back."
"Although there are a lot of full-backs in football who are very good at attacking, I still like the kind of full-backs who can do their job well, like Heinze and Brown in our team, who can do a good job on the wings and can shrink the middle to help the centre-backs fill the space. If I need a full-back to attack, I just need a wide winger. ”
'Back here at Leeds, you've been talking about how well the young right wing-back played, but have you noticed how much the whole right side of Leeds United, like Arjen Robben, James Milner, and the two centre-backs did for him when he came to the back position?
'Their defence starts as soon as they concede the ball up front, they keep pressing, they use their numerical advantage to threaten your counter-attack, and as long as you can't organise a decent attack, then their own defensive pressure will be reduced.
"Today it is said that the kid named Charlotte Blake is not playing, you see Leeds United here will not change the tactics of one person."
"So you media don't blindly praise and praise a young player, which will make him lose in those words."
"You're talking about this thing all day long, not because of how good a player is, but because of how good the coach who came up with the tactic is."
"Why are their coaches so good, you ask?"
"The ...... I taught"
After Ferguson said his last sentence, he went on to watch the game.
And the female reporter couldn't really understand what Ferguson meant by these words, but she knew that it was big news that she was able to interview Ferguson.
The ensuing match also validated what Ferguson had said in an interview. Leeds did not send Blake here, but used Milner at right-back, but Milner also tried to help Barry in the midfield position during the game.
It's just that Barry didn't press his position very forward today, and he spent most of the time in a double midfield for James Milner to limit Tottenham's midfielders Jenas and Huddlestone.
The two high-impact midfielders had no room to move under Leeds United's double midfielders, but instead made a mess of their own team's attacking organization.
On 31 minutes, Leeds opened the scoring through Robben's through through a through ball from Arjen Robben on the right to help Smith open the scoring against offside.
On 66 minutes, Barry found Kevin Davies in front of him with a long pass, and Davis headed the ball over to Arneson on the left. After winning the ball on the wing, Arneson took the ball and passed it to Baines behind him, who advanced unmarked for about ten metres before firing a long-range shot past Tottenham goalkeeper Dick Cheney.
2-0, not many goals, but the scene was completely one-sided.
It may seem that Leeds have mostly James Milner and Barry at the back, but Bynes' goal also shows that Leeds' left-back can also be dangerous and lethal in front of the penalty area.
The position on the field is becoming more and more blurred, is this the football philosophy of George Lee now?
After watching the Ferguson interview and watching the replays of the Leeds United and Tottenham matches, the other Premier League managers found that they had not yet come up with the first move against George Lee, and the second move had already been played.
It's hard!
