If you think about it carefully, Ji Ya has theoretically sent off Boas twice with his victory...
The first time was the 10-11 season. In that season, Noriya created the feat of leading the British Championship team to win the Europa League. In the final, he defeated Villas-Boas's Porto. After that season, Villas-Boas became the main coach of Chelsea.
Although the coach left on his own initiative, he was sent away by Ji Ya.
After that, he came to Tottenham. He coached at Tottenham for a complete season last season, and his results were not bad. Although he did not make the top four, his performance was acceptable, so he stayed in the new season. After losing Bale,
After that, Tottenham also used Bell's transfer fee to buy a number of outstanding players such as Lamela and Eriksen, hoping to perform better.
However, Levi has basically lost confidence due to his poor performance so far, and the game against Southampton has become a life and death battle for him.
In fact, Villas himself knows that even if he wins this game, he will only be hanging on for a while. Tottenham have lost confidence in him, unless he can win consecutively and hold on until the end of the season and then achieve a better goal.
results, otherwise there would be no chance.
When he saw Ji Ya, Boas also felt very strange. In fact, Ji Ya didn't really send him away twice before, but the last game of his two resignations was against Ji Ya.
And this time again.
So Boas didn't know what to say. He had reason to hate Ji Ya, but his reason told him that Ji Ya was not his enemy, but if he wanted to talk and laugh with Ji Ya, he really couldn't do it...
So I could only shake hands normally, then turn around and leave.
Ji Ya didn't want to provoke him with words. Looking at Boas's back, he sighed, then turned around and returned to his seat.
His long sigh almost made Boas break his guard again, and he wanted to turn around and ask him why he was sighing!
In this game, Villas-Boas sent a 4-4-2 lineup, with goalkeeper Lloris, two full-backs Walker and Danny Rose, center backs Michael Dawson and Zirich partnering, midfielders Eriksen and
Dembele is in the center, with Lamela and Sigurdsson on the wings, and a pair of high center forwards, Adebayor and Soldado.
This lineup is not bad at all. Tottenham are one of the top teams in the rankings. They are in London and have a high income. Even if Levy is stingy, as long as their operations are normal, their appeal will not be bad.
Noriya also sent out all the main players. Southampton fans are actually not as optimistic as him. After all, Southampton has been winless in three games before, and the main players seem to be in a bad state. This cannot be solved by resting for a week.
Adjusted.
However, in Noriya's view, this is not a problem. The previous poor state is not so much a problem with the team, but rather that the main players are automatically adjusting their state and their performance during that period of time is not particularly important.
Almost, in this case, they may perform better in the second half of the game.
Of course, it remains to be seen whether their adjustments have any effect.
After the game started, Southampton began to gradually advance their offense at home. Under the leadership of De Bruyne, they continued to pass the ball in the midfield, looking for offensive opportunities.
Dembele is still Tottenham's main midfielder. After he moved to Tottenham, he performed equally well. Although he does not show off on the court, he is an indispensable part of Tottenham's midfield.
But looking at Southampton's midfielder, Dembele couldn't help but sigh.
When he was still there, the midfield he formed with Matuidi and Vidal was the toughest midfielder in the Premier League, with running and confrontation... they were all top-notch.
Then he went to Tottenham for 25 million pounds, Vidal went to Juventus for 35 million pounds, and Matuidi went to Chelsea for 30 million pounds. The three of them exchanged exactly 90 million pounds.
However, considering that the total value of bringing them in does not exceed 30 million pounds, we have to say that Ji Ya is really a good businessman.
Another difference from when Dembele was here is that Southampton's midfield is different now.
In the past, Southampton's three midfielders were more active in the middle, and they went to the wings to defend and fill positions. The three of them were positioned in front and back, but now Southampton's three midfielders, Casemiro
In the center, with Mkhitaryan on the left and De Bruyne on the right, it is considered a horizontal midfielder.
However, in terms of running and attacking flexibility, this midfielder is even more threatening.
De Bruyne took the ball near the right, and Dembele had to defend him. Seeing Dembele coming, De Bruyne immediately raised his foot and passed the ball to Mkhita who was near the left side of the penalty area.
good.
Mkhitaryan caught the ball and turned around. At this time, Ronaldo inserted into the penalty area, attracting the attention of the opponent's defender. Seeing that no one came up to defend him, Mkhitaryan made a slight adjustment and shot hard with his left foot!
The ball stuck to the ground like a poisonous snake and flew directly into the lower right corner of the goal! Although Lloris stretched his arm, he still missed by a little, and the ball flew into the goal quickly!
The Southampton fans in the stands jumped up at the same time. Amidst the cheers, Mkhitaryan ran to the sidelines and high-fived his teammates in celebration. Now he is the oldest player on the court, more senior than captain Feng.
Te arrived half a year earlier, but the Armenian, who has a relatively low-key personality, has always lacked presence in the locker room. He only looks so dazzling when he scores a goal.
Ji Ya waved his fist. This long shot seemed like Mkhitaryan was recovering well. After all, such long shots require a certain amount of luck to score, and he almost couldn't hit it.
Being hit hard by Southampton early on, Tottenham were a little sluggish. After all, they had just been defeated at the feet of Liverpool. Liverpool's offensive rhythm made them breathless. In this game, Southampton's
The offense seems to have this rhythm too!
This is actually the case.
After taking the lead, Southampton did not shrink, but continued to press in the midfield and then continued to attack.
Compared with the tactics Tottenham were accustomed to before, this season they began to pay more attention to ball control and advancement. This is actually what Villas-Boas saw accurately. In the past, they played run-and-gun because they had a bunch of fast players, such as Bell.
, Lennon, Defoe, Walker, but now? Bell and Lennon have both left, Defoe has become a substitute, and Walker is still a full-back. Under such circumstances, how can they run and attack?
There is no shortage of centers and technical players now, especially with the addition of Lamela and Eriksen in the midfield, which is more suitable for ball control offense.
However, his reforms are contrary to Tottenham's tactics in the past four or five years. As a result, the effects of the reforms have not yet been seen, but the performance of the team has not been achieved, and the team's performance will of course decline.
