Chapter 499 Let the giants tremble under our feet!

Someone once asked Ye Qiu why Tottenham Hotspur wanted to introduce David Silva after having excellent midfielders such as Beckham, Modric, and Yaya Toure?

After Modric transferred to Manchester City, he also admitted that one of the important reasons why he left Tottenham Hotspur was that Ye Qiu introduced David Silva, which made him feel that it would be difficult for him to get the main position in Tottenham Hotspur again, so he chose to leave the team and join Manchester City.

Modric performed very well at Manchester City. Mark Hughes trusted him very much and gave him the important task of midfield organization. The current midfielders of the team almost revolve around him. In addition, Robinho in front, the Croatians performed quite well at Manchester City. On the contrary, David Silva was somewhat not eye-catching at Tottenham Hotspur.

This also led to many people doubt whether Ye Qiu was wrong?

Regarding the question, Ye Qiu explained, saying that David Silva can bring deep propulsion ability to Tottenham Hotspur's midfield. Originally, Yaya Toure also had it, but the problem is that one of the very contradictions about the Ivorians is that after he dribbled the ball, he did not have enough ability to use the ball in the dense defensive area.

Sometimes this is a very troublesome choice, just like Modric. If Tottenham Hotspur is not determined to compete for the league championship and the Champions League, he will be left in the team by Ye Qiu and entrusted with important tasks. But if Tottenham Hotspur is more ambitious, he must make a choice, and so is Yaya Toure.

Many fans actually have an illusion that they feel that there is Ribery and Messi in the wing breakout, and there is no problem with deepening. But if they watch every game seriously, they will find a very interesting problem, that is, whether it is Ribery or Messi, even if they are already the best breakthrough player in the world, their one-on-one breakthrough is actually not as strong as many people imagine.

For example, Messi dribbled the ball from the right and got rid of the defensive player, but in fact he did not break through the opponent's defense line, so someone needed to answer him at this time. So, what is Messi's dribbled the ball and cut it in?

To attract the attention of defensive players, through this kind of dribbling, attract the attention of the defensive players around them, attract them all around themselves, and then take the ball out, because the players on the court dribble the goalkeepers all against ten, and I dribble the ball alone to attract two defensive players, which means that I have a player who is unguarded.

Many fans still live in the past 1990s or in a football world that is taken for granted. They think that if they have strong abilities, they can constantly break through and surpass others. But in fact, Messi, Ribery, Robben, Cristiano Ronaldo, these players have gradually stopped pursuing extraordinary others.

The reason is simple. The rigor of modern football tactical system has forced offensive players to transform because the formation is rigorous and has strong mutual defense ability. If you can live one, you can't pass the second one, the ball will be cut off at your feet.

Cristiano Ronaldo encountered such a problem in the two years he just came to the Premier League. Even as early as the Denilson era, this problem had already shown signs. Even if you bring Maradona, Pele, and Ronaldo at his peak to the modern football system, they still cannot reach their original peak.

Everyone must have a sense that modern football does not rely on personal abilities, but on cooperation.

It's very important for any team

Looking at Tottenham's past and current midfielders, Yaya Toure can hold the ball, but he was positioned in the back midfield by Ye Qiu early in the morning. Mascherano and Lucas are both midfielders, and Beckham and Modric are both players who cannot hold the ball to attract attention after the defense.

So Ye Qiu wanted to introduce David Silva for the simple reason. He had enough delicate skills to ensure that he could hold the ball, and even at the front of the penalty area, he could move around to protect the ball and pass the threatening ball.

That's right, theoretically speaking, David Silva's role is just like Beckham, both in order to create a local number advantage in the midfield. The difference is that the two have different means to achieve their goals. Beckham relies on running, and his own long passes to force the defensive players to watch him, but the premise is to run and run constantly.

The problem is that as Beckham gets older, his body will gradually become problematic, and he can't continue to run like this.

David Silva relies on skills and he runs, but he doesn't run like Beckham, but instead interspersed with running gaps, picked up teammates, held the ball, used his personal abilities, and used his dribbling to attract defensive pressure, thus allowing Fabregas, Van Persie, Gareth Bale, or Yaya Toure, who was inserted in the back, to be in an unmarked state.

Everyone should understand one truth. Why do football offenses now focus on changing positions and falsehoods? What are the fake forwards, fake wingers, fake ninths, fake number nines, fake number tens, etc., after all, there is only one core purpose, pulling, and the purpose of pulling out is also one, pulling out space, and what is the purpose of pulling out space?

The space is to let one of your teammates run into this space. In a short period of time, it may be in an unguarded state for one second or two seconds. The closer this space is to the opponent's penalty area and goal, the greater the threat and the easier it is to score goals.

Therefore, Tottenham Hotspur's entire offensive system revolves around pulling and creating space

Ye Qiu emphasizes purpose, and for offensive players, the purpose of running, passing and pulling is to create space.

Fabregas plays and drags, which is definitely a waste. He is more suitable for playing in front and playing back. Although his ability to control rhythm and technical skills are excellent, his ability to use ball control to attract defensive pressure is not strong enough, so he is destined to not be able to play this role.

So David Silva is needed.

Ye Qiu doesn't feel like Guardiola's Barcelona in his previous life. David Silva is indeed a bit like Iniesta, but Fabregas is not Xavi. His pass is more direct and faster than Xavi. Yaya Toure is not Bousquets. He covers a larger range than Bousquets and has more back-entry.

When Mauro Tassoti and Ye Qiu described the offensive and defensive system they jointly created, his analysis of the defensive system said that Tottenham Hotspur’s defensive system relies on team, position, and teamwork.

Many people say that Tottenham Hotspur's midfield frontcourt players' defensive end value is not high, and it is wrong to think that Tottenham Hotspur's defense is not good, because defense always has only one purpose to prevent the opponent from scoring goals.

Therefore, the most cutting-edge defense designed by Mauro Tasotti mainly relies on delaying and blocking.

Through the team's team cooperation, the opponent's offensive speed is delayed, the opponent's ball output route is blocked, and the offensive party must follow the route I designed for you. The delay is to buy time for the defensive players behind him to organize defense, and then I defend in a targeted manner based on the opponent's offensive route.

All defenses are ultimately the same as the defender's defense philosophy, forcing the opponent to transfer the ball to areas with weaker threats, such as the wing, such as the area away from the thirty-meter area, etc.

This is not true to Barcelona. Barcelona pays more attention to pressing and siege, while Tottenham focuses on cutting and blocking, which is also related to the characteristics of the Premier League, because it pays more attention to physical confrontation, and the body is a disadvantage for Tottenham's midfield and frontcourt, so it has to avoid physical confrontation and defend.

Fundamentally speaking, Barcelona is afraid of the opponent's possession, while Tottenham Hotspur is not afraid of the opponent's possession, because the team's defense is to compress the opponent's possession in a non-threatening area as much as possible. Of course, it is impossible to allow the opponent to control the ball for a long time.

That's why Ye Qiu said that a ball possession rate of about 550% is Tottenham Hotspur's most ideal ball possession rate.

If you can't understand Tottenham Hotspur's entire offensive system, just look at the second leg of the Champions League group stage at White Hart Lane Stadium, the scene that happened in the ninth minute.

Tottenham Hotspur intercepted the ball in the backcourt and launched an attack. David Silva took the ball and pushed forward quickly. Bayern's midfield followed David Silva, and their return to defense was also very fast. After all, Tottenham Hotspur attacked so hard after the opening, the most important thing for the visiting team is defense.

Schweinsteiger pressed towards David Silva at the first time, and Van Bomel also forced him over at the same time, but David Silva directly passed the ball to Fabregas, who blocked Ze Roberto to the left, touched the ball with one foot, and directly pushed the ball behind Van Bomel.

David Silva rushed forward quickly, and after receiving the ball, he passed the ball quickly to the left. Gareth Bale faced Bayern right-back Odo on the left side of the penalty area and wanted to break through, but Odo defended very tightly and stood well. Gareth Bale could only knock back to David Silva.

At this time, Bayern's four defenders had already returned to the penalty area, and both midfielders Van Bomel and Ze Roberto also returned to the front of the penalty area. It seemed that this attack seemed to be a failure, but after David Silva received the ball, he continued to push into the penalty area.

Under the attack from two midfielders, Van Bomel and Robert, he passed the ball diagonally to the top of the penalty area.

Van Persie, who had just inserted into the penalty area, suddenly retreated and received the ball in the top of the arc. Demikalis and Breno were behind him, but Van Persie stopped the ball and accompanied by a fake move. His body shook, making Demikalis and Breno think he was going to turn around and shoot the goal on the left, because Van Persie had two feet, turning around and shooting directly to the left was very smooth.

But Van Persie turned to the right. Not only that, he also dribbled the ball along the front of the penalty area to the right.

Because Demichelis and Breno were both fooled, they followed Van Persie by about half a beat, so left-back Lyle quickly stepped forward to fill the spot and blocked Van Persie, otherwise the Dutch would face the goal.

But Lyle also blocked Van Persie, and Demi Kelis noticed David Silva who was inserted behind him. Behind Van Persie, Fabregas always stood about fifteen meters away from him, with no defense and ready to respond at any time. What's more terrible is Messi.

After Lyle went, Messi was left unguarded and pointed his finger forward and quickly inserted it in. Van Persie passed the ball straight into the penalty area, while Messi got the ball about ten meters away from the goal.

Demikelis abandoned David Silva at this time and ran over to block Messi, while goalkeeper Butte directly abandoned the goal, but Messi made a dexterity in shooting with his left foot, gently shot with a half-high ball, but the speed was very fast. After passing Butte, he landed on the ground and rebounded straight into the lower left corner of the goal.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL”

With the shout of the commentator on the scene, all the fans of the entire White Hart Lane are pushed to the highest point. A deafening shout came out in the field, and all the fans were shouting Messi.

The whole process is full of pulling, pulling quickly, using personal dribbling ability to pull the opponent's defense line, creating undefensive space for teammates, and then gradually pushing forward. When the undefensive space appears in the penalty area and the frontier area, you are finished

On the surface, Messi scored very, very calmly, but in fact, his calmness was based on both Van Persie and David Silva who created a time difference of no defense for him for at least two seconds. All Messi needed to do was to grasp Van Persie's pass and send it into Bayern's goal.

Two seconds is enough for Messi

Ye Qiu, who was standing on the sidelines, was also very excited to applaud. This goal finally gave him the feeling he wanted.

There is no such complicated back and forth passes and receptions, but only meticulous penetration and constant pulling. Don't underestimate other players in this goal. Gareth Bale hit the ball back after receiving the ball, but grabbed Odo. Fabregas did not insert it, but left a way out for the team. He stayed in that area, and his teammates knew it anytime and anywhere, and if they were not strong in the offense, they would pass it to him.

After David Silva passed to Van Persie, he continued to rush forward, with the purpose of delaying Demichelis and supporting Van Persie and Messi at the same time. In addition, Van Persie delayed Breno and Lyle, which gave Messi about two seconds to calmly deal with the last shot.

The entire goal process was very fast and happened in the blink of an eye, but it was very smooth, without any extra step or any tricks, but it was full of a very alternative charm.

"Our midfielder has begun to find a feeling." Ye Qiu smiled and turned around, celebrating with Mauro Tasotti, smiling.

After being coerced by him, Yaya Toure has been very stable and patient recently, and has always restrained himself. Although he occasionally reveals his true colors, overall, it is very good and has made great progress.

The cooperation between David Silva and Fabregas and the trident in the frontcourt is getting better and better. Not only has it revitalized the frontcourt offense, but it has also improved Gareth Bale's performance in the frontcourt. After all, David Silva leans to the left and cooperates more with Gareth Bale.

Not long after Tottenham scored the goal, the intense atmosphere in the field had not weakened yet. Tottenham Hotspur made another attack. After Fabregas received a pass from Alves on the right, he passed it straight to Messi who was quickly cut horizontally from the right and ran to the middle.

Messi's stopping skills were fully demonstrated during the high-speed sprint, and the ball was just like sticking to his feet. Bayern's young central defenders Breno and Lyle followed Messi at the same time, but Messi suddenly stopped and dunked the ball towards his right foot and pushed it lightly.

I saw the ball passing through behind Lyle, and Van Persie didn't know when it was inserted into the right side of the penalty area from the middle. After receiving the ball, he pulled his right foot and shot directly. He quickly passed by Butt and drilled straight into the bottom of the net in the lower left corner of the goal.

After scoring the goal, Van Persie opened his arms and pointed at Messi who passed the ball and assisted him. The two hugged each other quickly, and behind him, Fabregas, David Silva and others rushed up quickly to celebrate Van Persie's goal.

"Only fifteen minutes have passed, Tottenham Hotspur scored two goals, Bayern Munich's defense seems to be unable to stop Tottenham Hotspur's offensive at all. Klinsman must regret it now. He should adopt a more stable defensive strategy when arranging tactics, rather than actively wanting to play against Tottenham Hotspur."

I saw Bayern Munich's head coach Klinsmann sitting in the visiting team's coach's seat, looking indescribable.

He is also full of regrets now. He was originally very confident in the team's offense, but now at the White Hart Lane Stadium, he feels that his offense cannot be effective, while his defense is full of mistakes and missed. He has been hit by Tottenham Hotspur again and again, and he can't even find an effective way to curb it.

As Beckenbauer said before the game, Tottenham Hotspur must make a choice. When Klinsmann chose to play against the opponent, the result of this game was already destined. Even if he regrets it now, it is too late. At least he does not have the courage to replace two players in one breath and strengthen the team's defense.

The first ten minutes of the game, is it necessary to force the players to rebel?

"Come on, come on, all the Tottenham Warriors, let out your shouts, support our fighters, we want to see goals, more, more goals"

"Come on, come on, come on, let our offensive storm come more sharply and your cheers come more violently, okay?"

With the momentum of the commentator of the White Hart Lane Stadium, more than 30,000 Tottenham Hotspur fans all gave a huge cheer, and the whole momentum was to shake the sky above the White Hart Lane Stadium.

This momentum continued without any pause. All the players were rising and falling one after another, constantly building momentum for the players fighting on the court. The players on the court were also infected by the home team fans. Even after taking two goals, they still launched another impact on Bayern Munich, constantly threatening Bayern Munich's goal.

"Let every giant team tremble under our feet."

With the shouts of the stadium commentator, all the fans in the audience let out waves of shouts again, and then gradually gathered, and everyone's shouts gathered together.

"Goal"

"Goal"
