Chapter 512 The First Divine Formation from Ancient Times to Tomorrow

Author: Ant who watches football ruthlessly

"They can see that with Moussa Sissoko on the pitch, Tottenham are playing very active on both wings."

"They made full use of the width of the pitch and stretched York City's defense. As a result, York City had more spaces."

"The opportunity Eriksen got just now on the outside of the penalty area was because other Tottenham players attracted the attention of the defensive players and created an opening for him!"

Alan Shearer in the commentary room felt that the world-class long-range shot just now was the most exciting attack in the game so far.

"Yes, Tottenham's players are all as capable as York City's players, which makes Tottenham dare to let their players play on the field, while York City must rely on a tenacious team to suppress it."

Lineker now also feels that the game is starting to become more exciting.

From a tactical point of view, Noscaloni's iron barrel formation completely suppressed Tottenham's attacking group in the half. However, in the eastern half, Pochettino replaced Lamela and replaced Moussa Sissoko.

Ke, that leg can be said to be a good one.

After the two wings were activated, Tottenham seemed to have opened up the situation, and beautiful offensive scenes came one after another.

"Alain, what do I think Scaloni will do next?" Lineker was getting more and more interested in that game.

"He found it quite difficult. The twenty minutes after the reception from East were the best time for Tottenham to establish their advantage, but York City had no cards left to play." Alan Shearer shook his head, "They

After all, a League One team basically relies on a main lineup to play, which is why they gave up the League Cup and the British Championship early. Take a look at their bench, it can be said,

No one else present can change that situation!"

Lineker said: "Is it possible to use a veteran like Joe Partington or Gary Fletcher? They have all played in the Premier League. Although they are older now, they should be able to help the team strengthen the team.

Is it from Dongfeng’s defense?”

Alan Shearer thought for a while and nodded: "There is also that kind of Coco. But looking at it now, it is difficult to confirm how he will adjust. Change to a forward? There is a lot of defensive pressure now, and it is indeed true to put two forwards in front.

It’s of no use.”

"It makes sense." Lineker also nodded. "Increasing the number of midfielders to strengthen the defense, and then putting a forward in front for counterattacks seems to be a bad strategy for York City."

When the two shut up, the live broadcast screen shifted to York City's coaching bench.

I saw Scaloni turn around and call out, and immediately a player who was walking on the bench ran out to warm up.

A few minutes later, York City took advantage of the dead ball and began to make substitutions.

Joe Partington ran to the scene, and then the referee raised the substitution sign to signal the main center Baker to the East Court, and he was replaced by Joe Partington. The two hugged on the sidelines, and then separated in the East Court.

As a result of this tactical adjustment, York City's lineup has also undergone some changes.

First of all, if Amon plays as a lone forward at the front, Joe Partington and Rice stand in front of Xavi Alonso, forming an inverted triangle with three midfielders, and the formation also becomes one.

After Joe Partington is on the court, his main task is to assist Alphonso Davies on the wing to guard Moussa Sissoko on that side.

As a result, York City's defense became stronger.

Joe Partington and Alphonso Davis on the left combined to control Moussa Sissoko, which gave Alonso and Rice more energy to help defend Son Heung-min and Dan on the other side.

Rose, while Eriksen and Moussa Dembele in the middle were no longer as active as before after being controlled on the two wings.

Seemingly uneasy, Scaloni called from the sidelines for Armand to retreat, and also helped the midfielder to steal the ball.

Aman is not a pure kicker. His speed and body allow him to run in various areas of the frontcourt, making him a perfect "pressing forward" candidate.

So now he often appears outside the penalty area to help defend.

All 11 people on the field were engaged in defense, and the frontcourt was completely thrown to Tottenham, but the wrong side was left helpless.

That also made several Tottenham defenders who were in a dominant position but could not score, move forward continuously, trying to give more support to their teammates.

At this time, Amon will suddenly advance forward, ready to receive the pass from the backcourt at any time, especially the precise long pass from Alonso.

That kind of strategy also made Tottenham not dare to press hard with all their strength, making the game a bit uncomfortable.

"Scaloni is indeed a very capable head coach. His tactics in that game were very wrong. Especially defensively, he gave Tottenham almost no chance. It can be seen that he was wrong.

Tottenham have studied it very thoroughly." Alan Shearer said with admiration.

After hearing this, Lineker burst into laughter: "Of course, Scaloni must have learned a lot from playing under Pan Yi! To be honest, he has always felt that standing on the sidelines and directing now is not enough.

As for Pan Yi, many routines look very familiar!"

Alan Shearer also laughed after hearing this.

This is not a typical "Pan Chui" statement, but it seems irrefutable.

After all, Scaloni has stated in public more than once that he learned everything he knows from Pan Yi...

——

Tottenham's backcourt, especially the center backs, don't dare to press hard, but their trident and midfielder can press hard, and the assists from the full backs can also be very sharp.

Coupled with the advantage in the situation, Tottenham will be able to play a good offensive coordination.

In the 65th minute, they opened up a little space by attacking from the right.

The extremely fast Walker drove the ball along the right sideline, rushed to the 30-meter area of ​​York City, and suddenly made a long pass.

After the ball crossed most of the field, it landed on the outside left corner of York City's penalty area.

At that time, the gap was unguarded.

York City's defense also adjusted quickly, and Jianyang Fuyasu ran over immediately.

Danny Rose stopped the ball directly to Eriksson behind him, and quickly moved forward.

The Danish midfielder understood the idea and kicked the ball directly behind the defense.

But the force of the pass was a little too strong. Danny Rose chased after it and managed to kick it. The ball hit the side netting directly.

"That offense did not pose a threat, but Tottenham's entire offense and defense were quite organized and thoughtful."

"Especially Walker's long pass. When everyone thought he was looking for a high point outside the penalty area, he suddenly moved to the weak side. It was indeed very thoughtful."

"The 26-year-old England international performed very well at Tottenham in those seasons. I heard that he has attracted the attention of Manchester City. Guardiola hopes to bring him to improve after the end of the season."

Soon, Tottenham stole the ball in midfield again.

After Moussa Dembele stole the ball, he quickly passed the ball to Eriksen. The latter took the ball to the foot of Son Heung-min, and then passed it forward to Vicente Jensen.

When Vicente Jensen stopped the ball with his back, he turned sideways to the right and immediately passed the ball to Moussa Sissoko on the right. The substitute French winger dribbled the ball into the York City wing, and then

Dong Di Chuan.

Seriously, the pass was a little too big, no one touched the ball in the middle, and it went directly out of the sideline on the other side.

"Tottenham are attacking more and more fiercely now, and York City's current situation is a bit unfavorable."

"Although Scaloni used a defensive formation with three midfielders, Tottenham's generals continued to create offensive opportunities. York City must be careful."

"Vicent Jensen dropped back again and received the ball with his back."

"Now Tottenham's three attacking legs in the frontcourt often retreat, which can better open up York City's defense."

"Look at that time, Vicente Jensen stopped the ball and walked to the left, Danny Rose had already rushed forward, waiting for Vicente Jensen's pass."

"It was a good time. Vicente Jensen did not pass the ball. He led the ball forward by himself. After attracting the attention of the defense, he passed the ball."

"Danny Rose got the ball in the left corner of the penalty area and then crossed it into the penalty area to find Vicente Jensen."

"Stop the ball with your back, turn around, and hit the goal directly!"

"Nice attack."

"Vicent Jensen's shot hit De Ligt and the ball bounced out."

"I'm very good at Tottenham and have a good chance."

"Then pass it to Son Heung-min, that side is a bit empty. Cross the ball from the east end and look for Vicente Jensen."

"After being pushed out, Eriksen hit again and volleyed!"

There was a burst of exclamation from the entire West Siberia Stadium, and the 20,000 York City fans were shocked to see it.

Eriksen's volley was very high-quality, but the height was not suppressed and was slightly too high.

Although they didn't score, Tottenham did play well at that time, but the home team York City didn't even have a chance to break into Tottenham's penalty area, let alone hit the goal.

Therefore, the York City fans present could not help but worry about their side.

It seems that York City's coach is not in a hurry, and neither is the owner.

Scaloni has been sitting comfortably on the coaching bench, while Pan Yi is still chatting with Levi calmly, as if the critical situation present has nothing to do with him.

And here, after being bombarded for more than ten minutes, York City gradually stabilized its position.

Tottenham gradually focused on controlling the ball and began to slowly advance forward.

Is that actually normal?

The stormy attack at the beginning of the east half consumed a lot of players' energy.

If Tottenham can't wait until it's good, they will be exhausted early and will be very passive in the early stages of the game.

Even if Pochettino's team is known for its youth and runnability, it cannot withstand such consumption.
