Chapter 375 You are out of date!
As the pace of the Premier League approaches in the new season, more and more predictions about the Premier League this season are gradually appearing in the newspapers. There is no doubt that almost everyone is still optimistic about Mourinho's Chelsea.
Perhaps, there are many people, and almost 80% of the British media and journalists, who do not agree with Mourinho, think he is too arrogant and causes trouble everywhere, but one thing is undeniable is that his Chelsea is indeed superb and can almost be said to be a super dominant player in the current Premier League.
Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are considered qualified to challenge Chelsea’s defending title, but whether they can challenge Chelsea is not only about their performance and performance this season, but also about how Chelsea performs.
Manchester United has won Carrick and introduced Berbatov. In addition to Evra introduced last season and Vidic introduced during the winter break, Manchester United's overall renewal has basically ended. Van Nicht has sent away this season and introduced Berbatov, which has already declared that the reform has come to an end. The only big suspense is the position in the defensive midfield.
There was also a weak point in the goalkeeper position, but after Chelsea introduced Van der Sar, Ferguson's team performed very well in the pre-season warm-up match. Van der Sar also changed his frequent mistakes at Chelsea, which made a bit of a strong feeling.
Moreover, Ferguson has always been an expert in solving problems. Everyone thinks that Manchester United is the most promising team to challenge Chelsea this season. Moreover, many Premier League fans hope that Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool can snipe Chelsea this season.
You should know that in the history of the English top football league, no team has ever won four consecutive championships. Even the extremely brilliant teams of Aston Villa, Manchester United, Liverpool and other dynasties have at most three consecutive championships, especially Liverpool in the 1970s and 1980s, who are almost always sniped at critical moments.
Now, Chelsea has won the Premier League championship for three consecutive years. As long as they win another year, it will be an unprecedented four-champion. Therefore, many media and journalists have issued appeals this season, believing that all Premier League teams should do their best to snipe Chelsea. Of course, there are also some journalists and media that support Chelsea’s four consecutive championships, because everything has been the first time.
After Arsenal introduced Arteta from Ajax, the team's overall strength did not decline much. He sold Pire and bought Rosici. Wenger unswervingly took the technical route. However, Ashley Cole this season has a great impact on this team. After all, Arsenal was best at attacking from the left before, but now he lacks one leg.
Relatively speaking, Liverpool can be said to have greatly increased its strength. After purchasing Robbie Keane, Liverpool's offensive problem is likely to be solved. In addition, Benitez has always been determined to be an integrated tactic of high-level defense, Liverpool cannot be underestimated at any time.
If the first four teams are regarded as traditional top four in the Premier League, then Tottenham Hotspur has become the team that has the most hope to challenge these top four in everyone's eyes, not only because of the strength of this team, but also because of their head coach Ye Qiu.
As many media and reporters said, Ye Qiu's debut was accompanied by the championship trophy. After taking over Chelsea, he won the double championship in the first year and the triple crown in the second year. This heavy report card is enough to everyone.
Now he has gone to Tottenham Hotspur, and the team has undergone earth-shaking changes in his hands. Not to mention playing young cards, he remains unbeaten in the warm-up match, playing offensive football, especially the two-wing flying tactics shown in the warm-up match, which surprised everyone, especially the game of playing against Inter Milan at home, which was very exciting.
But the shortcomings of this team are also very obvious. Younger things inevitably lead to problems of insufficient experience and insufficient strength.
Ribery, Fabregas, Messi and other players used to be Chelsea's substitutes, but they have firmly been in Ye Qiu's hands. However, playing as a main player and playing as a substitute are completely different concepts, and players need to adapt well to this role change.
Playing as a substitute is about targetedness. The head coach will personally tell you before you go on the court, and you will play as targeted as you go on the court. You just need to perform the task well. However, playing as a main player is different. The main players must be able to adapt to any changes that occur on the court. No matter how the opponent changes, you can adapt and exert your own strength.
Therefore, there are many players who are very good substitutes, but once they play as the main player, they can't adapt.
In addition, players like Mascherano and Thiago Silva have the strength. They have proved themselves in Ajax, but whether they can adapt to the Premier League, how long it will take to adapt, and how good the tactical running-in level after Tottenham Hotspur reorganization is all things that need to be considered.
The most worrying thing is the central defender combination. The combination of Hangland and Thiago Silva seems to be very complementary, but there are still serious problems in tacit understanding and collaboration. Tottenham Hotspur lost six goals in six games in the warm-up match, only one of which was a clean sheet for the opponent, which shows that there are quite a few problems in defense.
Compared with defense, Tottenham's offense seems to be a little problem, but it is very dependent, because Van Nistrue scores goals in every game, and is Tottenham's number one scorer before the season and is known as the guarantee of Tottenham's goal. Some people even think that the most reassuring thing about Tottenham Hotspur is the striker.
Regarding concerns from the outside world, Ye Qiu also mentioned in an exclusive interview with Martin Samuel that he said that the team relies on the whole. As the team's scorer, Van Nystruey's responsibility is to score goals, so he scores more goals, which is not a problem at all, but whether the team can win depends on the whole.
"Yes, young players are relatively inexperienced and require more training, but I always believe that as long as young players give opportunities, they will repay you with rapid progress. Maybe as long as they perform for a few consecutive games and continuously, they can quickly build up their self-confidence, and their performance will naturally go up."
No one in the world knows the potential and strength of this team better than Ye Qiu, so he is very confident that the team can perform. He even said confidently that Tottenham Hotspur's goal in the new season is the top four in the league.
Martin Samuel also mentioned in the column that there is great unpredictability for young players, but Ye Qiu has always had a sharp look at the players, so Tottenham Hotspur is likely to become a dark horse in the Premier League this season to break the traditional semi-finals monopoly on the Champions League qualification.
"It is not too much to give any expectations for the team that Ye Qiu coaches, at least for me personally."
But many people also agree with Ye Qiu's statement, but they are still worried about Tottenham's league prospects. The reason is very simple. The opponents they met at the beginning are very tough.
The first round of the league is a away challenge to Bolton. The team's home game of the Premier League last season, the away game of the Dragon and the away game of the Premier League. If the points are simply calculated by home games, they can even rank sixth in the Premier League. Even Tottenham Hotspur will be stepped under them, but the away game is too bad and it is directly ranked fifteenth. It can be said that it is a typical home game of Dragon and the away game of the Dragon and the away game.
The second round is to play Sheffield United, the newly promoted teams this season, and everyone knows that the newly promoted teams are often the hardest to grasp and the hardest to play because you are not familiar with them at all and do not understand them.
In the third round, Everton was at home. Even though Everton was only ranked 11th in the Premier League last season, no one dared to underestimate Moyes' team, because their performance in the Premier League has been getting better and worse in the past few seasons. If the performance last season is considered bad, then I'm sorry, Everton will rise this year.
After three rounds of the league, we had a rest for two weeks, and then we were waiting for the fourth round of opponents to face Chelsea at home.
The first three rounds were a warm-up match, and the fourth round was the highlight of Ye Qiu's return to the Premier League, and it was another direct conversation between Mourinho and Ye Qiu. Many people even said that this was a test of Tottenham's quality.
Such a start and schedule are undoubtedly a big test for Tottenham Hotspur. In fact, even though a considerable number of people think that none of the predictions in the media are reliable, sometimes their predictions are well-founded.
The first round of the Premier League was opened, and the champions Sheffield United team was forced to draw at home by Liverpool
Yes, you read that right, Sheffield United was tied by Liverpool. If it weren't for a penalty kick at a critical moment and Fowler finally scored the penalty, the final result would have been that Liverpool would have lost to McCity.
Arsenal's debut in the new stadium was indeed cowardly. Everyone was looking forward to a good start in the first Premier League game at the Emirates Stadium, but who knew that Arsenal tied Aston Villa in the first game. If Wenger's team had not intervened behind Gilberto Silva in the 84th minute to help the Gunners equalize the score, they would have lost at home.
Both strong teams were upset, which fully confirmed the fierce competition in the Premier League, but also reminded all latecomers that the first round of a league is often difficult to play.
Tottenham Hotspur also played a very bad first round of the league, at Reebok Stadium Although Tottenham Hotspur announced the goal to be lost shortly after the opening, Kevin Davis scored in the 9th minute to help Bolton take the lead.
Afterwards, Tottenham Hotspurs made a crazy round of offensive in the first half, and Van Nie finally equalized the score in the 33rd minute. But in the second half, even Ye Qiu kept reminding the players to pay attention to Bolton's back midfield shot, because there were already several such opportunities in the first half.
But in the first minute, veteran Campo's goal broke through Tottenham Hotspur's goal again.
In the end, Tottenham left the Reebok Stadium with the score, and welcomed a black opening.
Regarding such a result of the game, Ye Qiu said it was acceptable at a press conference after the game, but he repeatedly stated that this was not a problem for the players. "I believe that every Tottenham Hotspur player is desperately trying to win the game. The responsibility for losing is more due to pressure and our lack of experience."
"I don't think there are problems with our strength. In terms of strength, we overwhelm Bolton, but they are the ones who win. This is a very worthy question. We will summarize it carefully after we go back.
On the contrary, Manchester United beat Fulham l and Chelsea beat Manchester City 0. The Red Devils have been leading the standings since the first round. After the game, Ferguson said with a smile that Manchester United has not tasted the taste of leading for a long time and hopes to continue running.
After the first round, Tottenham Hotspur was ranked 14th in the Premier League. Many media reported that this was the most miserable start of the league since Ye Qiu's coaching career and the lowest ranking, because in the past, Ye Qiu's first round of the league was very poor and conservative, he tried to win or even win, but now he lost.
For a time, many tabloids even provoked Ye Qiu.
"Tell Ye Qiu with facts in the first round of the league that the Premier League is no longer your Premier League."
"You are completely out of date after leaving for a year"
"Maybe Tottenham Hotspur has hope of creating miracles this season, and Ye Qiu leads the team to relegate miracle"
Ye Qiu is used to ridicule and ridicule from the outside world, because these tabloids often like to use explosive news content to stimulate you. If you care, get provoked, or even fight back, you will lose.
Putting aside the troubles from the outside world, he devoted himself to the second round of the league preparations.
In fact, after the league schedule came out, Ye Qiu specially arranged people to follow and observe every game of Sheffield United, including the first round of the league against Liverpool. The team's performance is a typical dark horse team, fighting hard.
This can be seen from their six defenders in the llman roster. Of course, not everyone plays as a defender, but two defenders are arranged to play as a midfielder, with the purpose of strengthening the team's defense.
So a week later, Tottenham Hotspur was in the White Hart Lane Stadium and launched a round of attacks after the start. In the 1st minute, Van Nie used two passes from Alves and Messi on the right, and scored a point in the penalty area and pierced the goal of Sheffield United.
The subsequent game completely turned into Tottenham Hotspur's solo show. Sheffield United was completely stunned after being scored two goals in a row.
First, I wanted to hold on, but then I was about to rush out and attack. All this did not escape Ye Qiu's expectations. Before the first half was over, Fabregas's long pass was over the top, and Ribery quickly inserted it. After successful offside, he scored a single goal. 0
With this leading score into the second half, Tottenham Hotspur still adopted a steady strategy to pull Sheffield United out and play. When Jagilka sent off two red cards due to the collision with Fabregas, the game had already come to an end, and Sheffield United could no longer have hope of a reversal.
In the end, Van Nie scored the third goal in the first minute and scored a hat-trick. Ashavin, who came on the bench, assisted Davis to shoot a long shot from the front of the penalty area and won another goal. Tottenham Hotspur beat Sheffield United 0 at White Hart Lane Stadium.
This suddenly, the situation was completely different.
In this round, Chelsea lost to Middlesbrough away, Manchester United beat Charlton 0, Arsenal beat Wigan 0, Liverpool beat Newcastle 0, Red Devils Manchester United led the Premier League again, and Tottenham Hotspur also quickly rose to sixth place in the league, which is just one step away from the top four.
The outside world hyped for a while, especially the ball-control and technical playing styles displayed by Tottenham Hotspur at the White Hart Lane field in this game, coupled with the impactful sharp breakthroughs on the two sides, all brought a very strong visual impact to the fans. However, more importantly, the big victory in this game and a complete victory.
One round of heaven, another round of hell, Tottenham Hotspur was carried to heaven after this round of game.
But in just three days, in the third round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur welcomed Moyes' Everton. The team had another accident in the game. After Fanny helped the team score a goal in the first half, an accident occurred in the second half. Thiago Silva and Hangland made a mistake. The two did not cooperate well enough. Thiago Silva blocked the opponent's pass into his own goal and unexpectedly helped the opponent equalize the score.
What's so bad is that after getting the ball in the frontcourt, Andrew Johnson used his flexible physical fitness to break through Hangland, and made a shot in the penalty area, but unexpectedly reversed Tottenham Hotspur at the White Hart Lane Stadium.
The previous round won a big victory over the promoted team and was reversed by the main competitors in the next round. This is indeed not a good thing for Tottenham Hotspur, especially Everton is still an important opponent to Tottenham Hotspur keep the top five in the league this season.
In the first three rounds, he won one win and two losses, scored seven goals, and conceded four goals. The only thing that is happy is that Van Nisstrui led the league scorer list with five goals. He alone won almost most of Tottenham Hotspur's goals, which surprised everyone and couldn't understand what was wrong with Ye Qiu's Tottenham Hotspur.
But it is obvious that time will not wait for Tottenham Hotspur at all, nor will they give them enough time to adjust slowly.
In the media's words, except that Ye Qiu is the boss of the team and will not be fired because he is the boss of the team and has poor performance, everything he has is no different from other head coaches.
In the UEFA draw ceremony that followed, Tottenham Hotspur drew Slavia from Prague from the Czech Republic, but in these two rounds, Ye Qiu was suspended from UEFA when he was at Chelsea and was added two additional games, so he was unable to directly participate in the command of the two rounds.
What’s interesting is that one of the shareholders of Slavia Prague is PNIC, the former owner of Tottenham Hotspur. Levi is also working in this club now. He even joked that he doesn’t mind taking the lead on Ye Qiu’s Tottenham Hotspur, because this is definitely a good opportunity for Slavia Prague to become famous in one fell swoop.
If Ye Qiu's Tottenham Hotspur can be eliminated from the first round of the League Cup, everyone will know this team.
That is, in this kind of worry from the outside world, Ye Qiu himself was leaving behind the door and worked hard to study how to adjust the team, especially in the team's defense and overall offense and defense.
Ye Qiu also found that one of the factors that made the team perform poorly is control over the rhythm.
It can be said that everything in this world has rhythm factors, such as crosstalk. People who say crosstalk are not just editing dialogue lines. The rhythm of each dialogue is particular. One second fast, one second slow, one second silent, one second, one second, one second, one second, one second, are affecting the creation of the atmosphere, affecting whether the audience laughs or not, and also affecting the success or failure of your crosstalk.
But these must be done carefully before you can understand the mystery.
Ye Qiu himself understands it, he can grasp it, but the players are not good enough, so he can only give them enough time to explore slowly.
Of course, Ye Qiu also plans to appropriately increase this aspect of training in the next training, because the team's rhythm is controlled by everyone's feet, not something that can be done by one of the players alone.
Only by finding one's own rhythm can Tottenham be truly integrated into a whole
