Chapter 698 Flag of the Premier League
After entering the 21st century, modern football tactics have increasingly demanded on players' physical fitness.
Modern professional players not only need to have solid basic skills and foot skills, but also have a strong body. For offensive players in the frontcourt, speed has become an indispensable and important weapon for them.
In fact, this phenomenon has been very obvious since the mid-to-late 1990s.
For example, after coming to Eindhoven from Brazil, Ronaldo became famous in one fell swoop, his speed was amazing. In addition, Michael Owen, who became famous in the 1998 World Cup in France, was also known for his speed. In addition, players such as Shevchenko and Henry were also outstanding in their speed.
According to authoritative statistics, in the past decade, there have been many players with excellent speed. For example, Martins, who once played for Inter Milan, had a speed of 100 meters to reach 10.4 seconds, which is called the number one lightning in football. Then, players such as Robert Carlos, Elton, Ronaldo and Bellamy were also very fast.
Henry's 100-meter speed was also within the top ten, he reached 10,9 seconds, while Shevchenko and Giggs were 11,2 seconds.
Of course, all the data they counted here were from their peak, just like Ronaldo, who was injured for a long time and had a belly fat, probably couldn't even run in for eleven seconds. It was so embarrassing.
To a certain extent, the speed of 100 meters has no meaning at all, because players often get the ball on the court, and the sprint distance is not 100 meters, at most fifty or sixty meters, and more are short-distance sprints of about 30 meters. Therefore, in the field of football, the starting speed, which is the so-called explosive power, is more meaningful than the speed of 100 meters.
No organization can obtain an accurate data on the player's 100-meter speed, because this is the secret of the club. However, Ye Qiu has a 100-meter speed statistics for the players he has coached. What surprised many people is that Van Persie's startup speed is also very fast, but the fastest one is Robben during the Ajax era.
However, when Ye Qiu saw a young player in white Tottenham Hotspur training on the training ground, he sprinted again and again on the court, and even several times in which he bypassed the defensive player and forced overtaking behind him, Ye Qiu was surprised to see it on the sidelines.
"How fast is he?" Ye Qiu asked, pointing to the descendant of Uyuda, named Alex Okivomya. He was born in England and has dual nationalities of England and Uyuda. According to the current situation, he should be naturalized in England.
Many fans who play PN games will think that the data in the game is very real, and they will then have an illusion that people with fast speed are like lightning on the court and can forcefully overtake at will, but this is wrong.
On the football field, when you are moving, you are faster than half a second, but it is actually not as obvious as it is. It is already a very amazing gap in the 100-meter sprint.
Therefore, the data cannot be accurately measured, and he can only reflect part of the game.
But there is one situation that is very amazing, that is, when you are a player with a speed of 13 seconds at a 100-meter speed and run into a 11-second second, the gap between the two reaches more than one second, or even two seconds, then your naked eyes can see the gap very clearly, which will shock you.
Peter DeVisel smiled when he heard Ye Qiu's surprise, "A year ago, he participated in the Hl5 Games in England and ran for ten seconds ninety-eight. According to my preliminary estimate, it should be faster now."
Ye Qiu, Bobby, Hams and others were all surprised after hearing this. My God, a year ago, when he was fourteen years old, he ran in ten seconds. At this time, his speed could catch up with Henry.
You know, Walcott is known as the fastest player among the active players, but his sprinting speed at Kivoruma is about 11.5 seconds. According to Walcott himself, his 100-meter speed is about 10.3 seconds.
In other words, if you really comment according to such standards, Kiwamya's speed is really better than Walcott and Henry, and even hopes to surpass all active players and become the fastest star in the future.
Although speed is only part of it on the football field, if there is an outstanding speed, it is really
"Where did you find this flash man?" Bobby Hams asked with a smile.
Peter De Wiesel also smiled proudly. He is still very confident in his ability in this area. With Tottenham Hotspur's continued investment in the past few years, his scouting system has been spread all over the world, and he can get a steady stream of scout information from all over the world.
"Alex Kivorumia's father, Andy Kivorumia, was taken to England by Barnsley when he was young, and was poached to Xie Wednesday, but he never played in the top league in England. Instead, he went to the Scottish Premier League for a season, and then he stayed in the low-level league in England until he retired."
"Relatively speaking, Chris Kivorumya, Alex's uncle and Andy's younger brother, had a more brilliant career. He played for Ipswich in the late 1980s and came to Arsenal in 1994, but after Wenger came to power, he transferred to the Queen's Park Rangers."
"Interestingly, the three of this family are all known for their speed, and this gene has been passed down to Alex Kivoruma. He is now playing in Rotherham's youth training camp. After breaking the record in the sports meet last year, it attracted the attention of teams including Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, etc., but he hopes to join us Tottenham Hotspur."
Ye Qiu listened to Peter DeVisel's introduction, but he paid more attention to everything reflected on the court.
If it's just fast, Ye Qiu will think he is suitable to be a track and field athlete. Even if it's a type that is very fast and has rough feet, Ye Qiu will think that he has little future. Even the Gareth or Bell he carved with himself did not actually make Ye Qiu full.
Ye Qiu has a big regret for Gareth or Bale, that is, he is late to Tottenham Hotspur.
Kiwomya is only fifteen years old now, and more importantly, his basic skills are very solid. After all, his father and uncle are both professional players and have been trained in professional clubs since childhood, so his basic skills are very outstanding. He has received long passes from the backcourt several times on the training ground, and he has stopped very well, which is very technical.
You should know that receiving long passes, especially in fast movements, has high technical requirements for players.
"This player mentioned in my evaluation report that speed is his greatest advantage, his basic skills are very solid, but he still needs further meticulousness. Moreover, he is only fifteen years old. His biggest weakness or weakness is that his running awareness is not smart enough, and his route choices are often not the best, even reasonable, and his passing and scoring abilities need to be further improved."
Peter De Wiesel's evaluation is fair and objective. Although Kivoruma can surpass the defensive player within two steps after starting now, this speed advantage is very, very obvious. However, if you do not choose the starting time and the route well enough, the value brought by your speed will drop significantly.
It's like Walcott, everyone knows how to prevent him, that is, to get stuck, squeeze space, and physically confrontation, so that you can't get up. So Walcott's development in Arsenal is seriously behind others' expectations of him.
Of course, his speed advantage also guarantees the lower limit of his football level.
"This kid has a future." Ye Qiu smiled and praised. He also has a look at people now.
Evaluate a player's scores separately, distinguish between strengths and weaknesses, and then find out from the weaknesses, which ones are capable of improving through future growth and progress, and which ones are impossible to improve, and then judge the player's potential through this expectation. But even so, whether a player can become successful will still be limited by his own learning and progress.
Some players can see through everything in just three or five minutes, but some players can't do it.
There is no doubt that the three Da Silva brothers and Kivomya are the kind of players. You can find that they are the type of players who are star embryos at a glance, but there are often a few such players. Most of them are the type of players that you have to observe for a long time or detect through specific training methods to draw the final conclusion.
Tottenham Hotspur’s genius day selection event lasts for three days, with the purpose of giving all players participating in the selection an opportunity and stage to demonstrate their strength in a relatively long and stable manner.
In the final list of selected this time, the three Da Silva brothers were successfully selected, Alex and Kivorumya were also selected for the Tottenham Hotspur youth team, and there was also a noteworthy little player, Adam He Mstrong, this fourteen-year-old English young player, was also very optimistic by the scout team.
Tottenham Hotspur’s Theobord youth training camp will add a batch of rookies every year, but will also send away a batch of rookies. This is an incentive mechanism for survival of the fittest. The purpose is to enable all players in the youth team to maintain sufficient self-discipline and learning ability and urge them to make progress and become talents.
With the accumulation of experience in the past few years, Tottenham Hotspur has become familiar with the selection of Genius Day and the preparation of Christmas Carnival. The former is held twice a year, while the latter is once a year, with the strong support of the London Municipal Government and the District Council, the scale of the event has been expanded year by year.
The brewing of this year's Christmas Carnival also started after the end of the 17th round of the Premier League on Sunday, until the 26th, the second day after Christmas, and there are even some related activities in the future.
Although the Christmas Carnival is still held in the name of Tottenham Hotspur, it is actually not just a matter of Tottenham Hotspur, it has even become a common festival in North London.
Ye Qiu is still involved in the selection of Genius Day, but he ignores the preparations for Christmas Carnival. This is something that belongs to Peter Nion. His more important task with the first team players is to prepare for the next winter break schedule.
You should know that according to this year's Christmas schedule, all teams will play three rounds of the Premier League in just eight days. This compact schedule is enough to surprise everyone, and this is not considered the FA Cup game after the Devil's schedule.
The Champions League also held a draw ceremony for the quarterfinals of 16 knockout rounds before Christmas, and the Premier League suffered a tragic Waterloo in the Champions League this season. All four teams participating in the game, including Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool, were eliminated and forced to play in the UEFA Cup. In addition, Chelsea, who was originally in the UEFA Cup, the Premier League giants gathered a table of mahjong.
This has also become a big signal of the decline of the Premier League in the eyes of many people. Many Premier League professionals have called for the Premier League to adjust the schedule appropriately. Moreover, with the current fierce competitive situation in the Premier League, it is indeed a major weakening and loss of the competitiveness of Premier League teams in the European competition.
However, in an interview, the FA refused to postpone the League Cup and FA Cup matches made by many people, believing that this is unfair to other teams.
"For so many games, Tottenham Hotspur's performance in the League Cup was very good, reaching the quarterfinals, and the Premier League is currently in the leading position. They are also the team with the most eye-catching performance in the Champions League group stage. They can have such outstanding performance because they are outstanding enough."
This is a reason used by the FA to vacate those teams who want to give privileges to European teams. At least they do not think that the schedule is an excuse for a team to lose or eliminate, and the key is that inferior skills are not as good as talents.
Originally, the four strong teams were ambitious to make some achievements in the Champions League, but after the group stage, the semi-finals became the only show, and Tottenham Hotspur naturally became the hope of Premier League fans. They all hope that Tottenham Hotspur can go further in the Champions League and fight for the Premier League.
At least, when fans of other countries such as La Liga and Serie A are ridiculing the Premier League, they can proudly say that we still have a Tottenham Hotspur team.
There are also three teams participating in the Champions League knockout match this season, namely AC Milan, Inter Milan and Naples, and two teams in La Liga, namely Real Madrid and Barcelona. The other teams are basically from the Ligue 1, Portuguese Premier League and even from Switzerland, Russia and Cyprus.
In the draw of the quarterfinals of 16, Tottenham Hotspur was the most unlucky among the second-place teams in the eight groups. After avoiding Leverkusen in the same group, he drew Naples in Serie A, which made a large group of Premier League fans accused UEFA of UEFA, believing that they were going to jointly defeat the Premier League.
You should know that Tottenham Hotspur's Champions League record in the last two years is the semi-finals and quarter-finals respectively. Many people believe that Tottenham Hotspur's knockout stage this season may not be very stable because this team has many problems, such as single midfielder and two midfielders, Ramsey and Vidal, are not as big names as Fabregas and David Silva during the period.
The only midfielder, Pirlo, is now old.
Therefore, among the odds of winning the Champions League, Tottenham Hotspur lags behind teams such as Barcelona and Real Madrid.
After learning about the draw results, Ye Qiu smiled and said in an interview with the media that Tottenham Hotspur never worry about their opponents. "I think those teams that draw us should cry and shout about unlucky, because this means that their Champions League promotion journey is over."
Ye Qiu also admitted the team's sluggish performance in the past two seasons.
"Yes, we have to see the problem clearly. After we reach a certain peak, the team declines, and the players inevitably lose their hunger for honor, or the desire is not strong enough, and then you will be defeated by teams that are more eager than you, such as Manchester United, which I think is normal."
"But for our current team, I can feel that the players are full of desire, because when we fell from the peak, they were all criticized and criticized, and many people began to doubt us, thinking that Tottenham Hotspur is no longer able to do it, and that this group of Tottenham Hotspur stars have begun to go downhill."
"But what I want to say is that we are one of the youngest teams in the European 16 knockout stages. I don't think we're going downhill because I can feel my players are hungry and thinking about the game and the victory. This is a good thing because it can make us more eager to win."
Ye Qiu denied what many Premier League teams called out and asked Tottenham to represent the Premier League to play.
"I don't think we can represent the Premier League. No team can represent the Premier League, because in the Premier League, there are many teams with different characteristics and styles. When we play in the league together, we can bring different excitement and freshness to the fans every day. I think this is the most core competitiveness of the Premier League and the most charming place."
"Of course, I will try to tell my players that we are the only team in the Premier League to break out of the group stage, and we are the only team in the Premier League to enter the knockout stage. Now all the fans around the world are watching us. They will hope to see how the originally powerful and arrogant Premier League was eliminated and humiliated in shame."
"I will tell my players that we cannot represent the Premier League, but since we are playing in the Premier League and playing in the Premier League, we should fight for the honor and disgrace of the Premier League. We must use practical actions and games to prove that there are no weak teams in the Premier League. Even if there is only one Premier League team left, it is the nightmare of all other competitors."
Ye Qiu's words were recognized by almost all Premier League fans. They were all excited and began to cheer for Tottenham Hotspur, hoping that this team could reflect the spirit of the Premier League and the momentum of the Premier League team.
