"This Tottenham team probably still can't beat Chelsea."
Lineker's voice rang out in the Sky Sports studio.
And then, the former England legendary striker even sighed.
Chelsea star Zola was still invited to the studio today, but another Tottenham star was not invited as usual.
That's because——
Inker himself is an old Tottenham player!
In June 1989, Lyinker was called by his mentor Venables and transferred to Tottenham Hotspur for 1.2 million pounds.
In three seasons at Tottenham, he scored 77 goals in 105 league games and won the FA Cup with the team in 1991.
Therefore, there is absolutely no problem in saying that Inker is a Tottenham star.
"Although it can be seen that Pochettino did a lot of detailed research on Pan Yi's formation and made a good response in this game, Pan Yi seems to have little regard for Pochettino's changes.
I have already made my own preparations."
Reinker continued his analysis:
"Chelsea's offense is very rhythmic and has a very good level, and it will not be disrupted by steals."
"In the goal just now, after Hazard was collided, Lukaku in the center immediately came to press. At this time, Chelsea's entire formation tilted this way, which meant that a large number of troops were injected here." p>
"This shows that Chelsea has long been prepared for such an attack. The moment the ball is intercepted, they must immediately concentrate on counterattack and secondary attack."
"Obviously this is a very correct strategy, because at this time Tottenham's players are in a state of counterattack after stealing the ball. At this time, the ball changes hands again, which makes Tottenham's defense very unstable.
”
"After Lukaku got the ball, he immediately passed it to Bernardo Silva, who came to the gap in the ribs to connect, and then there was a good cooperation between Lukaku and Kanter.
He also ran into the gap between Tottenham's two central defenders, got a single chance and scored."
Alan Shearer also very much recognized Reinker's analysis and also said:
"Yes. Chelsea's pressing in the frontcourt can be said to be the team with the strongest sense of hierarchy."
"I don't know if you have noticed that after Hazard was intercepted, except for Lukaku and Bernardo Silva on the front line who immediately came to press, all Chelsea players in the midfield and frontcourt were involved.
A clear forward pressing movement."
"This kind of movement means more backhands for Chelsea. Even if Lukaku fails to press this time and Dell can get the ball out, the Tottenham player who receives the ball will immediately face more press, and the chance of conceding the ball will still be
Very big."
"Unless Tottenham chooses to make a large-scale transfer, it may be possible to break Chelsea's sophisticated frontcourt press, but there are only a few players with this ability, at least not Dell."
"Of course, I can also reasonably guess that if the ball is held by a world-class player who is better at penetrating passes, Pan Yi may have another strategy to deal with it..."
Layinker smiled again and said: "You said before that if you play in the current Chelsea team, you will definitely not be able to play as the main force. And what I want to say is that if a forward like me who does not defend comes,
He must have been kicked back to his hometown by Pan Yi during the trial training..."
This is an affirmation of Pan Yi's comprehensive playing style as a Chelsea center forward.
After all, Layinker is not only the English Footballer of the Year, but also the top scorer in the World Cup.
He is a very prolific shooter!
In fact, in the 12 seasons from 1981 to 1992, Leinkel actually only scored less than 15 goals in one year, and that was the year when he played as a right midfielder instead of a forward in Barcelona.
Forwards with such efficiency say that they cannot get into Pan Yi's eyes, which shows how high Pan Yi's requirements are for forwards.
As we all know, Lineker also has a proud record of never receiving a yellow card or a red card in his entire career. For this reason, he has been nicknamed "Mr. Innocent" and "Football Gentleman".
However, this is somewhat related to the fact that he serves as a forward and rarely participates in defense.
After all, in the 1980s and 1990s, forwards rarely participated in defense.
In other words, even at a later stage, forwards still focus on scoring goals.
Can you imagine forwards like Ronaldo and Romario running around the field every day staring at other defenders rushing to grab the ball?
Let's put it this way, if you ask Romario to run a few more steps, he will lose! The same goes for "Chicago Brother" Berbatov.
Times have really changed.
If Lineker were allowed to play in the current Chelsea team and use his body to carry people every day, he would get a yellow card sooner or later.
“Able to fight, make pivots, and score goals, these are truly modern forwards.” Alan Shearer also lamented, “Fortunately, we were all born ten or twenty years earlier, otherwise we would have been exhausted, haha.
."
"It's not just the requirements for forwards that have become higher." Carragher also said, "A central defender like me may still be able to play in some mid-to-lower teams, but in Pan Yi's Chelsea, he is absolutely
You can’t kick the ball.”
One of the most obvious characteristics of modern central defenders is that their requirements for passing ability and even dribbling ability have become very high.
The traditional center back only needs to be good at defense, which is almost the same as the traditional center who only needs to attack.
In Chelsea's current formation, Terry and Cahill's passing abilities are actually quite good, so they can have more opportunities to play under Pan Yi.
But Pan Yi is indeed using greater efforts to cultivate young central defenders like Ake who are more capable of playing the ball.
Because what he requires of an ideal ball-playing central defender is that he can do a good job of defense and at the same time have the ability to pass the ball suddenly and advance forward, instantly adding firepower to the frontcourt attack.
Of course, there is such a template for a ball-playing central defender in the current Chelsea team, and that is David Luiz.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
He is an all-around central defender who has skills at his feet and can pass or dribble the ball forward. He is also fast, tall and jumping.
If he has any weaknesses, it is that he is sometimes irritable when dealing with the ball and gets easily excited emotionally.
But everyone must have shortcomings, otherwise wouldn’t they be invincible?
In fact, a thousand words and ten thousand words are just one word: "omnipotent".
Forwards are required to be able to defend, defenders are required to be able to attack, fullbacks can be wingers, and wingers can also be fullbacks.
Needless to say, the midfielder is a versatile midfielder, B2B player, and even the goalkeeper can be a sweeper.
Many coaches actually understand this truth, but it is difficult to find or train these players and blend them together to eventually form a perfect lineup.
Now Pan Yi's Chelsea has done it, that's why they appear so invincible.
Reinker concluded:
"Pan Yi subverted football."
"If it weren't for his existence, the Premier League teams and coaches might not be as embarrassed as they are today."
"Because under the background of Pan Yi, whether it is Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, Louis van Gaal's Manchester United, or Pochettino's Tottenham today, they all feel very backward, and both offense and defense are very monotonous."<
/p>
"Pan Yi has been changing football and injecting new ideas into world football."
"And all this started when he entered professional football in 2011..."
------------------
The game has entered the second half.
The fighting on the field became more and more intense, and scenes of people falling on their backs were not uncommon.
After all, this is a battle between mortal enemies!
Chelsea's players naturally hope to defeat their opponents at home, while Tottenham's players are not to be outdone, hoping to regain some momentum and then find a way to equalize the score.
In this way, the smell of gunpowder comes.
In the 67th minute, Seat B got the ball on the right, and then knocked it back to Azpilicueta, who stepped in to respond.
The Spaniard passed the ball to the center, and once again passed it back to the center circle of his own half, and handed it to Kanter.
As soon as Kanter got the ball, Dell made a flying tackle in this direction!
The goal in the first half was largely due to his interception of the ball, so he was holding back his anger.
But Kanter couldn't dodge and was shoveled to the ground!
The ball rolled to the right again, Azpilicueta got the ball again, and Danny Rose also rushed over quickly and made another tackle!
This time, Azpilicueta was shoveled out of the sideline with the ball.
The referee's whistle sounded just then.
But Danny Rose's tackle happened right next to Chelsea's home team's bench. Azpilicueta even rolled onto his own bench. Now Chelsea players and coaches stopped working. They all rushed forward one by one, asking Danny Rose to reason.
And Tottenham's bench also rushed up, and the two sides immediately became entangled.
The referee blew the whistle repeatedly and finally pulled the players on both sides aside.
Then... not a single yellow card was issued!
It was just a free kick awarded to Chelsea along the right wing.
However, there was no big fuss between the two parties.
This is mainly because there are actually many acquaintances in the two teams.
For example, Paulinho and Pan Yi have a very good relationship as mentors and apprentices, and they are also Brazilian internationals with David Luiz and others;
Another example is that Tottenham has Vertonghen, Moussa Dembele, Shadley and many other fellow Belgians in the team;
Not to mention that both sides are teams with France and England international players.
Even Tottenham's Pochettino and Chelsea's Scaloni are old acquaintances in Argentina, and Tottenham's Lamela and Fazio are also Argentine.
Therefore, everyone went back to play football without making much noise or fuss.
Pan Yi is even more okay. He never likes to talk off the court or take action, as long as the players are not injured.
The scale of the Premier League is huge, and there is really nothing the referee can do if he doesn't give a card.
At this time, I could only hear Scaloni arguing with the opponent's substitute goalkeeper, the Dutchman Worm Mitchell, in the distance, arguing about "Is this a kick, this is a shovel!" "He shoveled someone!"
The ball has arrived!" Such remarks cannot convince anyone.
Under the dissuasion of the fourth official, the two men stopped.
Then, Pan Yi suddenly heard Scaloni yelling in Spanish: "A nest for you two? A nest for you two!"
Turning around, he saw Worm Mitchell staring at Scaloni without saying a word, with a feeling of "Will you try to look at me again?" "Just try it!"
Pan Yi couldn't help scratching his head.
An Argentinian said to a Dutchman, "I'll give you two a nest." Why is this scene so familiar?
------------------
The game continues.
In the 78th minute, Chelsea got the ball in the midfield and immediately launched an attack.
Tottenham retreated quickly, and all players were back in their positions in an instant.
At this time, Chelsea's frontcourt has undergone some changes.
Lukaku suddenly ran from the center to the left, looking like he was going to catch the ball in space.
However, Hazard, who was originally standing on the left wing, ran to the center and exchanged positions with Oscar, who came on the right as a substitute at seat B.
This series of actions confused Tottenham's defensive players, who didn't know how to defend.
Because now the center position suddenly becomes Oscar, the left winger is Lukaku, and the right winger is Hazard.
At this time, David Luiz, who was advancing forward with the ball in the middle, directly made an overhead pass.
The ball just missed Vertonghen's header and fell behind him.
At this time, Lukaku, who had already run to the left, suddenly stopped and turned around and chased David Luiz's pass.
It turns out that Oscar and Hazard are both attacking, and Lukaku is the main direction of attack!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
At this time, Tottenham's other central defender Fazio quickly chased back and stuck closely to Lukaku, preventing him from having another chance to stand alone.
And Lukaku stepped forward, and when he reached the penalty area line, he found that there was no way to completely get rid of Fazio's defense, so he simply fired a powerful volley!
The ball almost touched the turf and went straight to the lower left corner of the goal at extremely fast speed.
However, at the moment when the ball was about to hit the net, Tottenham goalkeeper Lori dived to the ground very quickly and blocked the ball!
Before the frustrated "Oh" sounds from the Stamford Bridge fans could be heard, another blue figure also appeared in the penalty area and kicked the ball hard again.
This time, the ball flew into Tottenham’s goal almost in a straight line!
It's Oscar!
He completed a crucial follow-up shot!
If Lori wanted to get up and save the ball again, it would be impossible for him to touch the ball again.
"goallllllllllllllllll!
”
"This time it's the Oscars!"
"Oscar, who had just replaced him, took advantage of a supplementary shot to help Chelsea expand the score to 2:0!"
"This time it was a beautiful change of positions by Chelsea's attacking trio in the frontcourt, and they finally completed an effective attack."
"Although Lukaku's shot was blocked, Oscar's timely follow-up ensured the goal."
"In fact, we can also see from the slow motion that Hazard has also inserted into the penalty area at the same time. Even if Oscar fails to grab this second spot, there is still Hazard waiting behind him."
"And Tottenham's defense seemed to be stunned by Chelsea's dazzling cooperation this time. Everyone stood in a daze..."
On the sidelines, Pan Yi and the coaching staff were also cheering loudly for this goal.
Scaloni even waved his arms towards the Tottenham bench in a provocative manner, but was pulled down by Pan Yi.
Enough is enough, otherwise it will be bad if you are suspended or fined.
As for Tottenham, no one even noticed Scaloni's actions.
Because they are all very disappointed.
Especially head coach Pochettino.
He spent a lot of time studying Pan Yi's tactics, and finally came up with today's formation and lineup, but in the end Pan Yi cracked it.
It can be said that Tottenham did almost nothing on the offensive end in tonight's game.
On the defensive end, although the performance is actually pretty good in theory, there are still problems due to Chelsea's various sharp penetrations and pressing.
"We lost!" Pochettino sighed helplessly.
At Chelsea's home court, there were only ten minutes left in the game and they were still two goals behind. Pochettino knew better than anyone that Tottenham were actually unable to recover.
The assistant teachers next to them also nodded helplessly.
They can only accept the fact that Chelsea today is better than Tottenham.
No one wants to admit defeat, but if a stronger team with better performance wins, then everyone has nothing to say.
And after all, Tottenham can be considered as playing at its own level, and they only conceded two goals under the strong pressure of Chelsea.
Look at Arsenal next door, look at Manchester United...
------------------
At the end of the game, Chelsea finally defeated Tottenham 2:0 with goals from Lukaku and Oscar.
This is also their 14th consecutive victory in the Premier League this season!
While tying Arsenal's winning streak record, they also raised the record of consecutive wins in the Premier League to a level that will be difficult for future generations to reach.
After the game, the major media naturally had a lot of reports on this game, but it can be summed up in this sentence:
"Who can end Pan Yi? Who can add even a little bit of suspense to this season's Premier League championship?"
After all, Chelsea has played all the big6 games and won them all!
And both the score and the scene seemed to be one-sided.
3:1 Manchester City, 4:1 Arsenal, 5:0 Manchester United, 3:1 Liverpool, 2:0 Tottenham...
Scored 17 goals and conceded only 3 goals.
This is terrible!
And if even the big6 can't stop Pan Yi and his Chelsea, how can other teams have the confidence to do so?
"Perhaps we can only give West Ham United and Southampton, who have performed well this season, a try?"
Some media mentioned this, but they actually have little confidence.
Although these two teams have always been in the top six in the standings, after all, in terms of lineup, they cannot be compared with the big6.
In the past 14th round, Southampton also lost to Arsenal 0:1, which made people feel that it is difficult for them to maintain such a good state.
However, before facing these two dark horses, Chelsea stunned people with their sharper performance.
Just two days after defeating Tottenham, Chelsea challenged Newcastle United away.
Newcastle's performance this season is actually not bad. After 14 rounds, it is ranked 9th, between Liverpool and Tottenham.
But the suspense of this game was killed in 30 minutes.
In just 5 minutes, Willian opened the scoring for Chelsea.
In the 18th and 28th minutes, Cancelo and Ake made contributions to Chelsea respectively, expanding the score to 0:3.
At this time, no one thought Chelsea would lose.
After a change of sides in the second half, Chelsea scored another long-range shot from Ramirez, ultimately defeating Newcastle with four goals.
So far, they have officially broken Arsenal's fifteen-year record with 15 consecutive victories!
The entire Premier League was shocked!
------------------
However, at this moment, Chelsea ushered in a draw.
It’s just that this draw did not appear in the Premier League.
Four days after winning Newcastle, Chelsea faced the challenge of Sporting CP at home. This was the final round of the Champions League group stage.
Compared with Chelsea, who are traveling lightly, and Sporting CP, who still have a glimmer of hope, the latter will naturally have more fighting spirit.
After they withstood Chelsea's opening attack, William Carvalho scored a long shot to open the scoring for Sporting CP.
After a change of sides in the second half, in the 55th minute, Chelsea took advantage of a corner kick and scored with a header from Christensen to equalize the score.
But not long after, Sporting CP received a pass from Nani from the wing. Center forward Mondello rushed into the back left corner of the penalty area at high speed and hit the goal with a header from close range. Sporting CP exceeded the score again, 1:2.<
/p>
In the 78th minute, after Pan Yi's substitution adjustment, Chelsea's offensive gradually became stronger. In the end, Matic also fired a long shot and equalized the score again.
】
The score of 2:2 was maintained until the end.
This is also the only time Chelsea has failed to win in the Champions League this season!
However, since this is an "insignificant" game for Chelsea, the media did not exaggerate it to a large extent.
And Sporting CP was not happy about the draw with Chelsea, because their efforts did not yield good results in the end. After all, they did not score a life-saving three points.
In another venue, Dortmund also narrowly defeated Roma 2:1.
With this victory, Dortmund also successfully qualified from the group with 8 points!
The competitions of other groups have also come to an end.
In Group A, Juventus tied with Atletico Madrid 0:0 in a crucial life-and-death battle, thus beating Olympiakos in the same group by 1 point and qualifying with Atletico Madrid.
Group B had a moderate upset.
Liverpool drew with Ludogorets and Basel in the last two rounds, and was overtaken by Basel in the final points, thus being eliminated.
Real Madrid and Basel qualified from Group B with first and second place respectively!
There were no popular teams in Group C. In the end, Monaco and Schalke 04 defeated Zenit St. Petersburg and Benfica and qualified from the group.
Group D is qualified by Porto and Arsenal. The only surprising thing here is that Porto is first in the group, while Arsenal is only second in the group.
There is no suspense in Group E, with two strong teams, Bayern Munich and Manchester City, qualifying.
The same is true for Group F, with Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain qualifying.
Group G is Chelsea and Dortmund.
Group h is Hamburg and Shakhtar Donetsk!
Although they struggled in the Bundesliga and have been bouncing around in the European competition, they were in good shape in the Champions League. They finally achieved 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, and qualified first in the group.
Of course, this also has something to do with the weaker opponents in their group.
After all, neither Shakhtar Donetsk, Athletic Bilbao, nor BATE Borisov are really strong teams.
When the Champions League group stage is over, everyone will turn their attention to Nyon, Switzerland on December 15.
At the UEFA headquarters there, UEFA Secretary General Infantino will draw the matchups for the top 16 of this season's Champions League!
