"Perhaps, it's really the Copa America in the summer and more international players, which has made this group of young players from Tottenham Hotspur not find the right league rhythm yet, which makes them always slow to integrate into the game."

On October 1, China's National Day, Tottenham Hotspur faced Aston Villa at home. In the opening minute, Tottenham Hotspur scored a goal by Aston Villa, and the goal for Aston Villa was scored by a counterattack from Abonraho.

When the opponent scored, Andy Gray was a little regretful because the goal was a counterattack from the left, targeting Alves on Tottenham Hotspur's right. It was obvious that the performance of the Brazilian right-back in this game was not very ideal, and he could get up, but he couldn't come back when defending.

"We have always said that Tottenham Hotspur is a team that is very good at opening the court and snatching after the game, but judging from the performance of this season, their start was not as smooth as before. It was like this when playing Arsenal. Now it is still like this when playing Aston Villa. This is indeed not a good phenomenon. It is too slow to warm up.

Ye Qiu doesn't think so. He thinks that the impact of the Copa America on the team is more about Messi, Mascherano and Vargas. What's interesting is that these three players happen to be three deep offensive lines, left, center and right. Among them, Mascherano's performance since the start of this season is not good, and it is not as stable as in the past.

Of course, this is a very normal thing. Ye Qiu will not doubt his ability or even move his main position. After all, every player's condition will fluctuate, and it is impossible for him to maintain a high level of performance forever.

Ye Qiu felt that there was another aspect that affected the team, that is, the team performed too well last season, especially in the second half, which could almost be described as a devastating attack at that time.

But at that time, Tottenham Hotspur's offense was against Van Nicht, but now it is going to blossom in full swing, which requires some adjustment and adaptation. Therefore, Tottenham Hotspur can play well when playing some teams with relatively wide defense, such as the second half of the game against Arsenal, because the Gunners' physical fitness has declined.

But once they encounter strict pressing and oppression, they become a little confused.

Another point is psychological problems. Last season's third league, many players in the team felt that they should be a strong team in their minds. Young players are not mature enough and are easily affected. Therefore, once they have such ideas, they will easily be arrogant and even underestimate the enemy.

Sometimes the players' emotions cannot be solved by Ye Qiu's words, but they still have to rely on the players themselves.

Therefore, after conceding the ball, Ye Qiu did not make any adjustments, but let the team play steadily and control the situation, control the ball, and slowly advance. Aston Villa arranged a combination of Reo Coke and Gareth Barry in the middle of the midfield. Both players were defensive, so they paid great attention to pressure and pressing.

Therefore, Ye Qiu adopted a very simple strategy. He kept using his skillful ball control and passes and receiving to put pressure on Aston Villa, and at the same time retreated Beckham's position. The overall formation looked a bit like a 3-liner.

"David's role in counterattack is indeed very obvious, but once he falls into a positional war, especially a tough battle, the effect will be greatly reduced." Mauro Tasotti stared at the situation with a frown and shook his head.

Beckham's long pass accuracy is very high, but the problem is also obvious, that is, his effect is weakened in positional battles, especially when the opponent shrinks his defense, and at this time, the weakness of Tottenham's lack of effective ball control points in the midfield will be exposed, which is also why Ye Qiu introduced Modric.

But even the Croatian midfielder has not been able to integrate well into Tottenham's midfield so far, and his timing of the goal and some shortcomings make Ye Qiu feel very at ease with him.

Just as Ye Qiu and Peter De Wiesel's judgment on him before, if Tottenham only wants to keep the top four in the Premier League now, Modric would be a very good midfielder, but now Tottenham has Beckham, Fabregas, Messi, and Ribery in the team. The team's goal is to strive for the championship and even the Champions League.

So, in this case, if Modric cannot change himself well and integrate into the team, it will be difficult for him to bring effective supplements and strengthens to Tottenham Hotspur.

It’s not that Beckham is completely useless, because there will be many opportunities for counterattack in every game. Even if you are facing an opponent who is not as strong as yours, the root of the problem is that with Fabregas, who is becoming more and more mature, and who is becoming more and more powerful in both long and short passes, will there be another position in the midfield be given to Beckham?

This is a matter of the head coach's trade-offs. After all, if the position is an excellent ball handler, the entire midfield and frontcourt formation of Tottenham Hotspur will be theoretically perfect. By then, the team's entire offense will have a qualitative leap, especially the trident that cooperates with the frontcourt.

Midway through last season, Tottenham Hotspur's performance was not good. Premier League teams generally adopted the strategy of pushing out and playing, and they all wanted to get points from Tottenham Hotspur. They were not familiar with the changes after Tottenham Hotspur introduced Beckham, so Tottenham Hotspur played crazy.

But now, the third-ranking ranking of the Premier League last season is too prominent. Now many teams adopt a strategy of shrinking defensive counterattack when encountering Tottenham Hotspur, and the team's drawbacks and shortcomings have been exposed.

Ye Qiu foresaw this in the summer, so he introduced Modric, but now it is difficult for him to take Beckham.

"It's not necessary to think that it's like playing in the Champions League final" Ye Qiu smiled and patted his shoulder, "Martin O'Neal, I'll be sure of him.

After some chaos after the opening, Tottenham Hotspur gradually stabilized the situation and successively launched attacks on Aston Villa, and Aston Villa also felt very difficult to defend against Tottenham Hotspur's offensive trident.

Tottenham Hotspur's trident has no fixed routine. Van Persie, Ribery and Messi, and even Fabregas behind him. These four players can cross positions anytime and anywhere, and can run and pull unscrupulously. Moreover, the tridents are left and right players, can swap left and right, and can also drive the ball to make the ball for teammates by themselves.

This kind of playing requires a high level of tacit understanding between players. These three players played together as early as Chelsea. There is no need to say much about tacit understanding. Ye Qiu has also consciously cultivated their tacit understanding in this aspect in the past, so their performance on the offensive end is getting better and better.

After a period of pressure, Aston Villa gradually exposed his weaknesses and shortcomings.

In the 37th minute, Fabregas scored the ball in the middle and scored the side. Messi broke through one-on-one on the right and made a cross. Van Persie attacked Aston Villa's defense line and pushed the ball in front of the goal to score, helping Tottenham Hotspur equalize the score.

But in less than five minutes, Tottenham made a breakthrough on the side. Beckham gave it to Vargas. Peru's left-back quickly inserted and formed a two-on-one situation with Ribery on the left. Ribery got the ball from the left side of the penalty area and passed the penalty area with a low pass. Undefensive Van Persie easily shot low in front of the goal.

The entire reversal process was not dragged on at all, there was no difficulty or hardship, and there was only easy and freehand passes and receiving cooperation. This was also the outside world's impression of Tottenham Hotspur, that is, when this team found the feeling, their offense was as smooth as flowing.

In the stoppage time, Tottenham Hotspur got another chance. Van Persie's header in front of the goal was saved by the goalkeeper. Beckham took the corner kick, Hangland headed the ball, and the goalkeeper saved the ball, but immediately followed, Messi scored a gap in the crowd and made a shot.

In just ten minutes, Tottenham Hotspurs broke Aston Villa's goal three times, which made Martin O'Neal both angry and helpless, and somewhat annoyed.

Especially in the second half, Tottenham Hotspur, who had regained his familiar feeling, launched a fierce attack on Aston Villa in one breath. There was a panic in front of Aston Villa and was forced to shrink its defense, but it still could not stop Tottenham Hotspur from frequently threatening their goal.

In the first minute, Van Persie suddenly pulled to the left to receive the pass, and then shook the ball away from the defensive player and knocked back to the penalty area. Ribery quickly inserted into it to form a single shot. Goalkeeper Carson attacked and threw Ribery down.

The referee awarded a penalty kick and gave Carson a red card, sending him off the court.

Beckham personally took the penalty and scored a penalty, rewriting the score to 4l

Seeing the team's victory, all the fans at White Hart Lane Stadium were also very excited. Ye Qiu directly replaced Modric and replaced Beckham who scored the goal. At the same time, he also replaced Ashley Young and Cavani one after another, hoping to give the main players a chance to rest and save some physical fitness. However, although Tottenham firmly controlled the ball, he never scored again.

In the end, Tottenham Hotspur reversed Aston Villa 4l at home.

On the second day after the game, the outside world's performance was mixed for Tottenham Hotspur.

First of all, Tottenham Hotspur's offense was highly praised, especially the frontcourt Trident. They all believed that this combination would be the offensive guarantee for Tottenham Hotspur in the next five years, and also believed that Ye Qiu had trained an extremely sharp attack combination.

However, everyone feels that the goal conceded after the opening game is unnecessary, especially the passiveness in the opening stage, which makes people feel that this will become a major hidden danger for Tottenham. It also said that Ye Qiu should work hard to overcome such problems and ensure the combat effectiveness of Tottenham Hotspur this season.

After eight rounds, Tottenham Hotspurs scored two rounds in less game, with four wins and two losses allowing them to score the same points with Portsmouth, Blackburn and Chelsea. However, Tottenham Hotspur ranked sixth in the league with the team's strong offensive power, while Chelsea ranked eighth because they drew 00 in home games in this round.

After eight rounds of matches, Chelsea's points were tied with Tottenham Hotspur who had played two rounds in less game, which was unacceptable to all Chelsea fans. Many reporters even said that Mourinho's trick has been pondered by Premier League opponents and there is no way to play it anymore.

Many media said that looking at Mourinho's three seasons coaching Chelsea, his tactics are unchanged. Although Shevchenko and Barack joined in the middle, Mourinho once tried to become a double striker tactic, he soon returned to the 433 formation and has always relied on the central axis left by Ye Qiu, without any change.

But it is obvious that Premier League teams have gradually begun to adapt to Chelsea's tactics. If your opponent has changed, it will naturally be difficult to play and your performance will definitely be affected.

Mourinho made a counterattack against the accusations from the outside world. He believed that the team's poor performance was because he did not get the player he wanted. He wanted to get a wide player with excellent personal ability and a winger who could break the deadlock when dealing with intensive defense, but what he got in the end was Maluda.

Mourinho's remarks also exposed the contradictions within Chelsea, especially the ones that have been rumored by the outside world. The power struggle between Mourinho and Mendes, Pini Zahavi and Grant, is obviously intensifying and gradually surfaced.

Regarding Chelsea's internal struggle, the media likes to listen to Ye Qiu's thoughts, and even hopes that Ye Qiu will take advantage of his old enemy Pinni Zahavi, but Ye Qiu remains silent and says that he will not intervene in any disputes at Chelsea.

In fact, with his arrival, Chelsea's situation has changed. Ye Qiu is not sure whether Mourinho will be dismissed, and he does not think whether Mourinho will be dismissed or not will bring him any benefits. Sometimes changing coaches is like changing knives, and no one knows the changes it brings.

Three days later, Tottenham Hotspur challenged the Bucharest Star team away. Because he had some strength in the league, Tottenham Hotspur still went to Romania with a trident offensive lineup. With the goals of Ribery and Van Persie, he defeated the Romanian team 0 away and successfully won the first three-pointer in the group stage.

When Ye Qiu led his team back to London from Romania, he received the news that Mourinho was dismissed.

On the way back to Theobord training base from Heathrow Airport, Ye Qiu looked out the window.

The scenery along the expressway flew back behind him like a lantern, but his eyes did not notice these scenery at all, but focused more on his thoughts.

Mourinho is out of class

For Ye Qiu, I really don’t know whether this is good or bad news, because to a certain extent, Mourinho’s departure brought Grant to the front desk, which was a turmoil for Chelsea.

At least, Ye Qiu really didn't take Grant seriously. This Israeli could talk about military affairs on paper, but if you really want to talk about the arrangement of troops and on-site command, Ye Qiu has worked with him for a while, and I really don't think he has anything to do.

In his previous life, many people said that Grant accepted Chelsea and entered the Champions League final, but they did not think about what team Chelsea met?

Needless to mention the group stage, I first met Olympiacos in the knockout stage, and then met Fenerbahce. The opponent in the semi-finals was slightly stronger, Liverpool, but I was in the finals and I was in the finals and I was in the finals and finally lost to Manchester United.

It seems a pity if we look at the results alone. They have all entered the finals, but if we look at the process, it is not difficult to find that among the semi-finals of the Champions League, Chelsea is the least valuable, which is even less convincing than the season when Hiddink led the team to the semi-finals in the next year.

Hiddink's Chelsea stopped at the semifinals, which is a real pity. Grant's "Grand" is called "Grand's fortune"

Of course, Ye Qiu must admit that Grant also has his own strengths, which is the tact of a typical Jew. At least even when Ye Qiu coached Chelsea, he could do well in the team. However, Ye Qiu was a little repulsive to him since the beginning because he was a party of Pini Zahavi.

Chelsea have been in conflict with internal power over the years, but Grant has always stood beside Abramovich. Like Pini Zahavi, who is also a Jewish man, both of them must have their merits.

But Ye Qiu is sure that their advantages are not on the football field, nor on the position of head coach.

"Perhaps, Chelsea can be eliminated from the Premier League championship list this season," Roland said with a smile.

After hearing this, Mauro Tassoti looked at Ye Qiu who was frowning, smiled and said: "It's hard to say that Chelsea is still very strong, but the internal struggles of this team are too fierce at present, resulting in serious internal friction. Now that Mourinho has left, they can temporarily form a united front, which may inspire the team's combat effectiveness."

When it comes to the team lineup, Chelsea is still very strong. Whether in terms of player strength or bench thickness, Chelsea is undoubtedly ranked first in the Premier League. Even though Ye Qiu is full of confidence in his Tottenham Hotspur, he still feels that his team is inferior to Chelsea, after all, Chelsea is more mature.

"Grant's current takeover must be based on a stable team, and there must be signings during the winter break, so it's still a little too early to say that Chelsea cannot win the championship," Ye Qiu said lightly.

"It's still the same old saying, focus on playing your own game, otherwise everything will be empty talk."

After a pause, Ye Qiu suddenly smiled and said, "We can't be Arsenal."

With Tottenham Hotspur returning to London, it ushered in the ninth round of the Premier League. This time, Tottenham Hotspur was Liverpool who challenged Benitez away, but this strong dialogue ended in a draw.

Ye Qiu and Benitez are still on par with each other, but Tottenham Hotspur's old problem is still there. They conceded the ball in the first minute of the game, but followed closely behind Ribery scored twice to help Tottenham Hotspur reverse, but in the first minute of stoppage time, Kompany made a mistake in defending Torres and conceded the ball again.

Considering that it was a away game and the opponent was Liverpool, it was an acceptable score, so the outside world did not give too much accusation to the team. It was just a pity that, after all, it changed from a three-pointer to one point, and Ye Qiu also defended Kompani.
