Chapter 709
To be precise, Mazarri debuted at the same time as Ye Qiu.
In the 990 season, when Ye Qiu was excluded in the Ajax youth team, Mazari was already coaching in Napoli, which was in the Serie II at the time. At that time, he served as an assistant coach in Napoli and assisted Ulivieri. After accumulating several years of assistant experience, he began his first coaching team in the Italian League M2 for the first time in the summer of 01.
Ye Qiu's opportunities are much better than Mazaree, but more importantly, Mazaree missed some opportunities, but Ye Qiu seized some opportunities. So although the two debuted at the same time, there is a huge gap in their current status and influence.
Mazari was not satisfied with the result of the game, if it was 0, it would definitely be better, but a away goal gave Tottenham Hotspur the initiative.
How to play when visiting Bailu Lane Stadium?
When Mazari left Italy to London, he did not hide his ability to play defensive counterattacks away when interviewing reporters. "No team dares to play against Tottenham Hotspur at the White Hart Lane Stadium. We must find the most suitable way to obtain the away promotion qualification."
Compared with other head coaches, Mazarri did not fire smoke bombs this time. He did have a defensive counterattack tactic in this game, and he was a bit of a defensive posture because he knew very well that Tottenham Hotspur's strength was extraordinary.
Although he had just fought hard with Manchester United, Ye Qiu did not rotate widely in this game. The front trident and midfield iron triangle were not moved, and the right side of the backcourt was changed to Kyle or Walker's starter.
At the beginning of the game, Tottenham Hotspur used his home advantage to launch a fierce impact on Naples.
Mazari obviously made sufficient preparations for Tottenham's opening attack. After the opening, Napoli made a typical Italian defense, reflecting the stability of the Serie A team in defense. Even though Tottenham made a fierce attack, Napoli still defended the goal.
After 20 minutes of attack, there was no effect. Tottenham Hotspur had to take a breath, while Napoli took this opportunity to start counterattacking, which also reflects the strength of this team. At least, Napoli's performance has become more and more outstanding in recent years. It is definitely not a coincidence or luck. This is a resilient team.
The biggest highlight of Napoli in this game is undoubtedly the number one midfielder of this Serie A team.
Many people think that Hamsik is very similar to Nedved. He has the tenacious fighting spirit and unremitting will of the Czech Iron Man, and he is also very hardworking and dedicated in the game, but when he sees his football, he always feels that he lacks such a little spirituality.
Of course, he still has a lot of room for development now, especially as he gets older and experience, he may gradually change and make himself among the top teams. But from the current point of view, he still does not have the ability to drive the entire team alone.
The situation on Tottenham Hotspur is not very good. He just fought with Manchester United four days ago, and the players are generally tired. When they meet teams like Napoli, especially as the team's arrowhead, Cavani was not active in this game.
During the halftime break, the team's analysis team's report pointed to Cavani and Ramsey without exception, believing that the team's offense was invincible in the first half of the game, which had a lot to do with these two players.
This is not to say that they are not strong or what they are doing. The main reason is that they are too tired and have poor condition, which has dragged down the team.
But Ye Qiu still did not make substitutions during the intermission. For this, Mauro Tasotti, Rolande Shepas and others were very supportive of this. The reason is very simple. Substitutions in the midfield are not only a weakening of the head coach's authority, but also a blow to the players' enthusiasm.
Unless the performance in the first half was too bad and there was a disastrous scene, who would substitute during the halftime?
But Ye Qiu has been actively preparing since the second half, and he has prepared a replacement candidate.
At this moment, the game was in the 58th minute. Napoli made a foul in the backcourt and Pirlo made an indirect free kick, causing chaos in Napoli's penalty area. Messi, a little devil, grabbed the ball and got a chance to kick, but was saved by the goalkeeper. Ribery scored a gap and made a shot. 0
This goal made Tottenham and Tottenham breathe a sigh of relief, but just after the goal, Ye Qiu made two substitutions, replaced Cavani with veteran Raul and Pogba with Ramsey, which not only took into account the team's tactical needs, but also took into account the players' emotions.
With Tottenham Hotspur's outstanding performance, Vidal has gradually entered the ranks of European first-class stars. He has begun to become the object of relish for all fans. After a season of performance, many people's impression of him has changed a lot, from the original Yaya or Toure II to the current Vidal I.
As Ye Qiu said when he announced the introduction of Vidal in the summer, Vidal is different from Yaya or Toure at all.
Sometimes when looking back, Vidal would be very grateful that he chose Tottenham Hotspur, because it turned out that his choice was very correct and very wise. At Tottenham Hotspur, he not only improved his fame and influence, but also improved his strength.
To be honest, if you are teammates with so many top superstars, the pressure will force you to keep pursuing progress
For the current midfielder, whether it is Vidal or Ramsey, Ye Qiu will give off offensive and defensive tasks. For example, Vidal, in this game, he not only has to contribute to the offense, but also pays attention to protecting Pirlo and assisting in defense, and at the same time limit Napoli’s midfield core Hamsik.
The tasks seem to be a lot, but in fact, except for the focus of restricting Hamsik, the rest are all tasks in each game of Vidal, and there is nothing special about it. It is not difficult to restrict Hamsik. In Ye Qiu's words, as long as you perform well, you will naturally suppress him.
Three times, this is the number of times Vidal intercepted the ball from Hamsik's feet. He remembers it very clearly. He twice in the first half and once in the second half so far. Hamsik also fell into a downturn, and his performance did not improve much. He even subconsciously hid when he saw Vidal.
But Vidal also had to compete with Hamsik. He hid on the right, Vidal went to the right, hid on the left, Vidal also followed the left, and even he retreated, Vidal followed the forward and Pirlo moved forward, and Tottenham Hotspur's entire defense line also pressed, and Naples became more passive.
Hamsik really made her toothache, but she was helpless
In addition to Hamsik, Vidal also had five steals in this game, all of which were successful, which was also very good defensive data. He performed well on the offensive end. He almost scored with a long shot in the first half. After the team made two substitutions in the second half, Ye Qiu began to ask him and Pogba to expand the scope of the event.
Naples' physical fitness is almost out of reach
Some people say that Tottenham Hotspur’s most powerful weapon lies not in their offensive methods or their players’ strength, but in their physical fitness. Especially this season, the advantages of this physical fitness are more obvious.
After the game, you will launch a rush attack directly and use the offense to suppress the opponent. Then, maintain a fast pace and high-pressure situation appropriately to consume the opponent's physical fitness. If you can score a goal, it is naturally the best. Even if you cannot score a goal, you can continue to consume the opponent.
Usually after 60 minutes of the second half, the opponent's physical fitness is consumed to a certain extent. Although Tottenham Hotspur has consumed a lot, their physical fitness is indeed better and their overall strength is stronger. Therefore, after 60 minutes, they can also use their opponent's physical fitness to decline before making a strong attack.
Of course, at this time it became more of a war of willpower.
Naples' defense is indeed very strict, even to the point of defending the dead, but they quickly revealed their flaws.
After expanding the range of activities, Vidal often switched positions. This time, when he saw Ribery receive a straight pass from Marcelo from the left sideline, he pulled out the right back of Napoli. So Vidal pointed at him and rushed forward, while Ribery made a diagonal pass to the penalty area.
After receiving the ball in the left corner of the penalty area, Vidal led forward into the penalty area, and Napoli central defender Paul Cannavaro followed him. The Italian central defender, who was slightly taller than his brother Cannavaro, was also very strong. He followed closely and bent over, as if he was a cheetah staring at his prey, ready to take action at any time.
Vidal did not rush to break through, but slowed down and raised his head. He just glanced at it and noticed the whole situation in front of him. Cavani attracted two defensive players in the penalty area, and Messi also moved to the top of the arc of the penalty area to prepare for the ball, but he was following a defensive player, and Pogba rushed from behind Messi to the right side of the penalty area, and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
At this time, he had too many choices. He could pass it to Messi, or cross it to Cavani, or look for Pogba who was inserted into the back point, which could create a fatal threat. Paul Cannavaro also seemed to think that Vidal should pass the ball, and even his position was a bit biased to block the route Vidal passed to Messi.
It should be said that Paul Cannavaro's choice is not too big a problem. Although he gave Vidal the angle of the shot, the shooting angle is very small, and goalkeeper Desanctis has already been in place and is blocking this angle. If Vidal forces the shot, the goalkeeper can basically save the ball.
Moreover, Paul Cannavaro didn't think Vidal would force his feet at this position. If it were Ribery, Cavani or Messi, he wouldn't dare to have such an idea.
But in just a moment, Vidal reacted. He felt that there was a chance, because Napoli's defense was obviously biased towards Messi, and they did not dare to let the Argentinian get the ball at the top of the penalty area, which was almost deadly. So facing Paul Cannavaro's one-on-one defense, Vidal first made a bicycle-taking fake move and broke into the middle, but then another bicycle-taking-taking stepping down the bottom.
With two consecutive fake moves of riding bicycles, Paul Cannavaro was deceived by Vidal to block the middle and magnify the loophole between himself and the goal. Vidal's second bicycle was to spike the ball down the bottom. After pulling out half of his position with Paul Cannavaro, he almost didn't hesitate and shot hard directly with his left foot.
The whole process happened in about a second. Everyone might not even realize that Vidal was actually riding a bicycle. They just felt that they didn't know what was going on. The Naples central defender was shaken by Vidal, and then the Chilean's left foot was thrust vigorously in one go, without any drag.
What's even more wonderful is that shooting at this angle of the goal is often relatively high in the success rate of shooting at the far corner, especially when shooting at a high ball, but Vidal's kick is a close corner, which is the position above the goalkeeper's head, and it is a way to climb up and hit the goal.
The ball ended up almost hitting the corner between the post and the crossbar and hitting the top net. The goal was a decisive shot in the dead corner of the upper left corner.
So, even though Napoli goalkeeper De Sanctis had reacted and his body made a save, Vidal's entire dribbling and shot were unexpected, and he even rushed to the ground instead of to the high ground.
After scoring the goal, Vidal rushed out of Napoli's penalty area excitedly. 0 He broke through with a very wonderful dribble and scored after a shot, expanding the score for Tottenham Hotspur.
This goal almost completely sentenced Naples to death
Tottenham Hotspur also realized this, so they rushed outside the court to celebrate with great excitement. A group of people hugged each other tightly on the sidelines, shouting loudly at the fans of Bai Baihe in the stands, and received cheers and applause from the fans.
After leading two goals, Tottenham Hotspur was clearly sure to win, and the Napoli players were also hit hard, but Tottenham Hotspur did not intend to give up, but continued to launch a fierce attack on Napoli.
Raul retreated and took the ball and turned and passed it straight behind him. Messi penetrated diagonally on the left side of the penalty area goal. After successfully offside, he took the ball and turned around and shot with his left foot, breaking through Naples' goal again. 0
When the game reached the 82nd minute, Raul retreated and took the ball back, turned around and got rid of the defensive player, quickly dribbled the ball forward, and Ribery formed a crossover with Raul. Raul dribbled the ball to the left to attract the attention of the defensive player, while Ribery cut in the empty tilt to the right.
At the right time, Raul passed the ball inside Ribe with his left foot, and French Scarface broke into the penalty area, and his right foot kept volleying the ball, and the ball scored into Naples' goal again, 40
Scoring twice
Ribery rushed towards Raul excitedly. As it turned out, Ye Qiu and the coaching staff's decision was right. When facing Italian teams, especially those of Naples, who were strictly guarded and defended, Raul was indeed more useful than Cavani. At least he was much better than the Uruguayan in terms of flexible position change, ball and connection.
Of course, it’s not that Cavani is not strong enough. Uruguayan center is one of the top centers today. However, his characteristic is that he is indeed not good at this kind of delicate work. He looks like a fierce general Zhang Fei, how can he do this kind of needlework?
As the head coach, Ye Qiu made a mistake in the starting lineup in this game. He hesitated between Cavani and Raul and chose Cavani, but after the halftime break, he realized his mistake.
This is the world, and everyone will make mistakes. The key is that some people quickly realize the mistakes and correct them, while others do not correct them after knowing them. But the most sad thing is the last one, they never know that they are making mistakes.
Tottenham Hotspur beat Napoli, who is currently ranked fourth in Serie A, with two rounds of matches, successfully won the Champions League quarterfinals knockout goal.
After this game, many of Tottenham Hotspur players were praised like a wave, especially the main midfielder Vidal, who was praised by Ye Qiu after the game, thinking that he was one of the most comprehensive and excellent midfielders he had ever seen, but he also said that Vidal still has great potential to explore.
At the age of 24, this is not playing PN football manager. Vidal is currently very good at both offense and defense, physical and technical. What he needs to further improve is consciousness.
It should be said that the Chilean has the foundation to become a top midfielder, and the key is his progress in the future.
But after eliminating Napoli with a big score, Tottenham Hotspurs three days later, when he was away from Goodison Park Stadium, he was tied by Moyes' Everton.
Moyes smiled from ear to ear after getting one point because they equalized the score in the second half when they were behind in the first half. So he said he was very satisfied with the team's tenacious fighting spirit, but he also politely stated that Tottenham Hotspur had a long-term multi-line battle and had a relatively strong rotation, so this draw could not explain the problem.
But Manchester City won, Tottenham Hotspur was tied, and the lead was narrowed to six points, just two games, but there were still ten rounds of Premier League games, so everything could happen.
Ye Qiu expressed helplessness about the sixth draw this season, but he firmly believed that the team would continue to move forward
Because of the FA Cup on the weekend, the 29th round of the Premier League was adjusted to the mid-week. Tottenham Hotspur defeated Stoke 0 at home with the goal of Messi who came on the bench. This goal occurred in the 91st minute, which shows that this game was also very difficult.
After this game, the outside world's remarks about when Tottenham Hotspur will lose are once again noisy. After all, after March, with the restart of the Champions League, Tottenham Hotspur's multi-line battle and the team lacks rest time, the players' condition and physical fitness are also in trouble.
In this case, how long can Tottenham Hotspur last?
But no matter what the outside world says, the draw ceremony for the Champions League quarterfinals knockout match was also held on time at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
As the only remaining Premier League team to enter the knockout stage, Tottenham Hotspur has always been highly anticipated and valued by Premier League teams. However, as Tottenham Hotspur is in trouble, whether it can still bear the expectations of fans has become a big doubt.
Judging from the lottery results, Tottenham Hotspur is really a mess.
