Ranieri is a typical Italian head coach who emphasizes tactical rigor and targetedness. He has coached at Chelsea, so he knows very clearly how much English fans attach to the so-called derby game.

Therefore, since the day he took over West Ham United and when the schedule of the new Premier League season was released, he has regarded Tottenham as a crucial game at the start of the new season. Even after West Ham United also won two consecutive victories, he has not changed his attention to Tottenham Hotspur.

Almost tedious preparations were made before the game. In addition, in just one summer, he used powerful stars such as Carvalho, Lucio, Tularang, Moutinho to create an unbreakable Italian defensive chain for West Ham United, which almost completely curbed Tottenham Hotspur's offense in the first half of this game.

Judging from the game process, Tottenham Hotspur has always taken the initiative, insisted on its own active and tactical style, and still firmly controlled the situation. However, this team cannot create effective scoring opportunities, because no matter where their offense goes, West Ham United can quickly make targeted defensive changes.

After reorganization, Ranieri's skills can be seen by being able to bring West Ham United to its current two consecutive victories in just one summer.

Perhaps it was because he saw Tottenham Hotspur's almost iron barrel-like contraction defense against West Ham United, and the fan commentator at Upton Park even laughed and teased Tottenham Hotspur with a kick in when he was free of commentators.

"Perhaps, the attack that banned Tottenham Hotspurs will start with our West Ham United"

"Let's break this thorn from North London at Upson Park Stadium"

The apparently provocative remarks of the on-site commentator immediately made the fans of the Iron Hammer Gang, who have always been full of energy and are known as football hooligans, shouted very hard and loudly in the stands, and the West Ham United players on the court did not discourage them, resolving Tottenham Hotspur's offense again and again.

Time passed by minute by minute, but the situation on the court did not change at all. West Ham United fans became more and more excited, especially when the fourth official on the sidelines held up the two-minute stoppage time sign, they all seemed to see the team blocking the hope of Tottenham Hotspur's attack, because the first half was about to end.

Ranieri, who was cautious, kept reminding the players on the sidelines that they must be careful. Even if the first half is about to end, they should still be more cautious. After all, Tottenham Hotspur can reach today and successfully defend the Champions League championship, which is not only a rigorous tactical system, but also a group of outstanding superstars in the team.

Although football is now using more and more overall cooperation to curb the personal performance of superstars, there are still many times when the team as a whole is difficult to cover up the superstar's inspiration.

Just now Ranieri reminded the players, but unexpectedly, there were still some flaws in one go.

In fact, this flaw is not big. When Ribery, who was very active in this game, made continuous breakthroughs on the left and passed to the middle and wanted to find Falcao, Carvalho cleverly stuck before Falcao, blocked the pass, blocking the ball, while West Ham's right-back slipped when clearing the ball.

Because at this moment, everyone was not concerned about it. After slipping, the ball fell to the top of the arc at the front of the penalty area and fell at Messi's feet. Tularang, Lucio, Carvalho and others were all reorganizing the defensive system as soon as possible. After all, the first half is about to end, and it will be over after this attack.

But just when they thought Messi would try to pass the ball, the Argentinian used the ball to pull out a position with Tulalang, rubbing the instep of his left foot gently against the ball. The ball climbed along an elegant arc, and then quickly slipped down, almost rubbing the goal on the left post, 0

All the Hammers fans in the entire Upson Park are shocked. A sudden goal was scored. No one expected that so many defensive players would block the penalty area and even seized a chance for Messi to kick.

Andy Gray even slapped the table on the spot and shouted loudly, "This shot showed Messi's amazing footwork. His left foot controlled the ball without losing to Falcao at all. This shot can be fully reflected."

It is also a blind spot in the absolute sense, and it is also a goal that is to rub the left post into the net, and it is also a goal. Messi used this goal at a critical moment to help the team gain a goal lead in the first half.

After scoring the goal, Messi rushed to the corner flagpole excitedly, and his teammates around rushed forward to celebrate his goal at a critical moment, including Falcao. After all, it is crucial that the team wins.

"It can be seen that Messi was also stimulated by Falcao, who scored two hat-tricks in a row. Similar to the ball just now. If it were in the past, he might have considered holding the ball before, but now he directly chose to kick the ball, obviously very confident in his ability and a strong desire to show.

"This is a very interesting psychology. Through this kind of healthy competition, players' competitive state can be stimulated to the maximum extent. I think this is also of great benefit to Tottenham Hotspur as a whole."

In fact, Ye Qiu also praised Messi's performance during the halftime break, and hoped that all players could stand up bravely and break through the cage iron barrel formation set up by West Ham United.

After regrouping in the second half, Tottenham Hotspur immediately went down the mountain like a tiger, especially Falcao, who had performed very well before, seemed to be a little unwilling to be outdone. Not long after the start of the second half, he scored two consecutive games for Tottenham Hotspur in the 61st and 62nd minutes respectively, with Ribery's cross from the left and Fabregas's straight pass.

Scored two goals in two minutes, and the total score changed from 00 before the end of the first half to 00, which caused an extremely painful blow to West Ham United. Even though Ranieri quickly made adjustments and hoped to turn the situation around, it was still useless in the end.

Especially in the 81st minute, Ribery made a breakthrough cross from the left. Cavani, who came on the bench, was still twenty-five meters away from the goal, and directly shot with a shocking shot, capturing the goal guarded by Robert Green again, further expanding the score to 40.

Crazy, completely crazy

All the major newspapers in the world on the second day reported the crazy performance of Tottenham Hotspur's new season. From the 40 games in just three games a week, Tottenham Hotspur scored 15 goals and lost two goals. This report card was placed in front of everyone, which was enough for everyone to be so scared that they were stupid.

In the past three games, Tottenham Hotspur has shown strong dominance and attack power, and its defense is obviously more stable than before. Especially in the game against West Ham United, there is almost no mistake in the defense and it is done without any leakage. The offensive end continues Ye Qiu's offensive football style.

What scared Tottenham Hotspur's competitors even more was that Ribery, who performed poorly last season, had obviously recovered this season after a summer of active preparations. Although he was not the best player in the team in the first two rounds, he finally proved himself in the third round.

In the post-match Sky Sports rating, Ribery scored the highest score in the game with nine points, and was also the number one high score among Tottenham Hotspurs. His comment was an outstanding performance to return to the top.

This is because his left side is the sharpest and most threatening side of Tottenham Hotspur's offensive in this game, which is his continuous threats on the left side, helping Tottenham Hotspur finally defeated West Ham United 40, and Atletico Ribery was also recognized by everyone.

But Messi and Falcao are the most popular.

Messi used an almost impeccable shot from the penalty area to shoot in this game, proving his skills and proving to everyone one thing, that is, he, Leo Messi, is still the omnipotent Messi.

Falcao also scored twice, scoring eight goals in three games. The Colombian striker can almost be said to be the fastest rising player in the Premier League in the new season. He not only led the Premier League's scorer list, but also became the focus of attention of all media and journalists, almost trying to dig out his news and inside stories.

Tottenham Hotspur supported this approach on the one hand. After all, the players performed well and they must give certain rewards and promotions. Therefore, the club also cooperated with Falcao to accept several exclusive interviews, but Robert Milson also reminded Falcao in private to pay attention to the harmonious atmosphere in the team.

Falcao is still very smart about this. When he was interviewed by the media, he did not take any credit for his continuous goals, but instead pushed the teammates who helped him with Ribery, Messi, Fabregas and others. At the same time, he also said that he was only part of the team's tactical system.

Ye Qiu and Robert Milson were still very satisfied with Falcao's top lane. Although the Colombian kept scoring goals, it would be a bit of a matter of course if he thought he could win power by relying on his opening performance.

To put it bluntly, Falcao was able to score goals continuously, which was related to Ribery and Messi holding the ball on both sides of his side, attracting defensive pressure. If there were no two superstars on the side, if David Silva and Fabregas were not constantly sending shells for him, he would not have scored so many goals.

It can be said that as a new player joining the team, even if Falcao performs well, he still needs to keep a minimum low profile. Otherwise, he would not have gained a foothold in Tottenham Hotspur.

Therefore, Robert Milson has always paid great attention to this aspect of public relations, because Ye Qiu told him that he does not want any comments about conflicts or discords in the new season. He hopes to continue to maintain the harmonious and united locker room atmosphere of the team in the past few years.

From the current perspective, Robert Milson and his public relations team are still very skilled.

He played three games in just eight days, but Tottenham still had no rest after the third round, because the fourth round of the Premier League was ushered in the mid-week, with the opponent Birmingham.

Originally, the fourth round of the Premier League was held on August, but Tottenham Hotspur was going to participate in the UEFA Super Cup, so this round was prematurely held in the middle of the week. Tottenham's performance this time declined, but still defeated Birmingham with the goals of Yaya Toure and Ribery.

Tottenham Hotspur led the Premier League standings with a record of 100 million in a row, while the team's top scorer Falcao led the scorer list with eight goals. Although he failed to score in the fourth round, Falcao received an assist, which was his first assist in four Premier League games this season, giving Yaya Toure.

Tottenham's overall outstanding performance has brought great influence and attention to itself, and has also put pressure on its competitors, especially Manchester United. After reorganization this season, Ferguson has not yet found an orderly midfield combination, so Manchester United is under great pressure at present.

After the fourth round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur team went to Monaco to prepare for the UEFA Super Cup and will also attend the UEFA Champions League group stage draw and award ceremony.

As the first strong team to successfully defend the Champions League since the reform, Tottenham Hotspur naturally focused on the focus of this grand event, but last season's runner-up Barcelona and Real Madrid, which swallowed up many superstars in one go this summer, are also the focus of all media attention in this Champions League.

As many people have commented, Florentino spent a lot of money to concentrate the media attention and attraction throughout the summer on Real Madrid. Although it is somewhat inferior to Tottenham Hotspur, which shines in the United States, there is no problem suppressing the same country's archenemy Barcelona.

But in the end, the media always had to say that it was one thing to surpass Barcelona in terms of influence, and it was another thing to do whether the football field could surpass Barcelona. This was somewhat provocative.

Strong teams from all over Europe gathered in Monaco, and the lottery ceremony was held as scheduled.

According to UEFA's previous regulations and classification standards, Tottenham Hotspur, Barcelona, ​​Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, AC Milan, Sevilla and Bayern Munich were all assigned to the first-tier seeds.

Lyon, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Moscow CSKA, Juventus, Porto, Alkmaar, and the Wanderers were assigned to the second level; and the third level was also filled with powerful teams such as Marseille, Stuttgart, Florence, Dynamo Kiev, Atletico Madrid, Bordeaux and other powerful teams.

With Platini's support policy for the small-country league, relatively speaking, the fourth-tier teams will be relatively weak, and they are basically teams from weak countries. Most people's impression of them is to play soy sauce on the Champions League field, appear on the court, and make a familiar look.

The draws in the group stage basically continue to follow the usual operational methods of UEFA in the past, which is to ensure the reasonable allocation of strong and weak teams as much as possible. After all, if you emphasize strong dialogue too much, in the end, some unpopular teams may appear in the knockout stage, which is very unfavorable for the Champions League.

So in general, there is basically no so-called death group. The one with the most death aura is Bayern Munich, Juventus and Bordeaux are divided into one group, and Bordeaux performed very well in the Ligue 1 this season, winning all three games, and the team's core main player Gurkuf performed brilliantly.

Because of this, this group is called the Death Group by many people.

In addition, AC Milan, Real Madrid and Marseille were assigned to the same group, but considering AC Milan's overall strength and Real Madrid's very scary lineup, it is estimated that Marseille will have a great chance of getting a surprise qualifying.

The opponents drawn by Tottenham Hotspur are Alkmar from the Netherlands, Olympiacos from Greece and the standard sun in Belgium. The three teams are all from second- and third-rate leagues. The overall strength is not strong, so it is difficult to pose a threat to Tottenham Hotspur, so many people think that Tottenham Hotspur’s draw is the best.

This also caused another gust of storm after the lottery results were announced to the public, saying that because of his close personal relationship with Ye Qiu, Platini intends to support Tottenham Hotspurs to win a three-game winning streak.

But Ye Qiu has always sneered at such remarks, because in his opinion, it is indeed necessary to be lucky, but whether the overall strength is strong enough is the key to whether a team can reach the end.

Although UEFA's draw seems to take good care of Tottenham Hotspur, in fact, aren't it taking care of other strong teams?

If Tottenham Hotspur was drawn to a death group in the group stage early, let alone whether it could prevent Tottenham Hotspur, which has been in a state of great success recently, might in turn cause the withering of strong teams, which would be extremely unfavorable to the future schedule. After all, no one wants to be in the knockout stage and it is just watching some unpopular teams compete?

At the same time as the lottery ceremony was held, the award ceremony was also underway. Tottenham Hotspur was still the biggest winner of this award ceremony. Messi won the Best Player and Best Forward, Thiago Silva got the Best Defender as he wished, Peter Cech won the Best Goalkeeper again, and Ye Qiu successfully defended the Best Coach.

Only the best midfielder was given to Barcelona's Xavi.

This is also a very controversial point, because judging from the performance of last season, Iniesta seems to be more convincing, but strangely, Iniesta seems not to be favored by the judges and failed to win the award in the end.

After participating in the UEFA draw ceremony, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Donetsk Miners 0 at the Louis II Stadium in Monaco the next day and successfully defended the UEFA Super Cup.
