Starting with Milan as a central defender

Chapter 236 Massacre at White Hart Lane

8 month 31 number.

White Hart Lane Stadium.

Crowds of people.

After the warm-up before the start, Qin Yun returned to the locker room, picked up a tablet to review the videos of Tottenham's recent games, and gave Sakho and Kolo Toure instructions on defensive points.

Let’s talk about how Tottenham is different from last season.
More intense offense is Pochettino's tactical label, and his tactical philosophy is inherited from "Crazy" Bielsa.

Speaking of Bielsa, we have to mention the tactical concept he created that was influenced by the Dutch Total Attack.

High pressure play!

Murder football!

Among today's famous football coaches, Bielsa's shadow can be seen more or less.

While Guardiola inherited the mantle of Total Attack and Total Defense and passing control, he also absorbed the soul of high-pressure play.

Simeone takes the concept of high-intensity pressing to its fullest.

Pochettino understands the essence of overall formation and player mobility.

Inside the player tunnel.

Players who are familiar with each other greet each other, but not too eagerly.

Qin Yun stood in the middle of the queue, boredly observing the old posters on both sides of the aisle.

If you read it correctly, it should be the EFL Cup champion in the 07-08 season. Tottenham have not won any championship since then.
Thinking of this, Qin Yun suddenly turned his head and looked around.

Who to look for?
Harry Kane!

This thing is quite mature and looks no different from what it will be a few years later.

Oh, by the way, the same applies to the number of championships (the Audi Cup and International Champions Cup are not counted).

It's not a mockery!
Think of Burger King, which illustrates that choice outweighs effort.

Harry Kane looked over subconsciously, his eyes suddenly brightened, as if seeing an idol, and he waved excitedly.

Ah!
In the future, he will become a player like Qin, lead Tottenham to win the Triple Crown, and lead England to the top of the world.

As the coaching staff led the players out of the tunnel, White Hart Lane suddenly erupted in cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

"Migu Sports! Migu Sports!"

"Good evening, audience friends."

"Welcome to the third round of the 2014-15 Premier League season."

“Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool!”

"I'm the commentator for this game, Zhan Jun!"

"I'm Zhang Lu!"

“Let’s take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams!”

"Liverpool's formation is still 3-6-1. The difference from the last round is that Lucas started instead of Joe Allen."

"Goalkeeper:"

"Tottenham formed a 4-2-3-1 formation!"

"Goalkeeper: Lori!"

"Defenders: Kyle Walker, Vertonghen, Kaboul, Dier!"

"Midfielder: Bentaleb, Capue!"

"Midfield: Shazli, Eriksen, Lamela!"

"Forward: Harry Kane!"

"According to media reports, Adebayor was recently brought to court by seven of his siblings for not buying them a sports car. Perhaps affected by this, Adebayor's recent performance has been very poor, so he returned from a 12-year loan. Harry Kane becomes the starting striker."

"This season, under the coaching of Argentine Pochettino, Tottenham's tactics have become holistic and diverse, and he is also good at developing young players."

“例如首发出场的凯尔沃克和哈里凯恩，两人分别11-12和13-14赛季当选PFA英超年度最佳年轻球员，这是热刺32年来再度有球员获得该奖项。”

"In the second round of the Premier League, Liverpool defeated Manchester City 1-0, showing the stability and efficiency of Rogers' tailor-made tactics for Qin Yun, making him a strong contender for the league championship."

“Let’s wait and see whose winning streak will be ended!”

beep!
With the whistle of the referee.

The game officially begins.

Tottenham ball right.

Harry Kane hit Eriksen with his kick.

Spurs' formation quickly advanced and launched a fierce offensive.

"The offensive attitude is very determined!"

"In the last game, Tottenham defeated Rangers 4-0, which brought their morale to the highest peak!"

"Last season Tottenham winger Navas scored 13 seconds into the game."

Lamela received Eriksen's pass on the right wing and moved forward, avoiding Emre Can's steal.

Get rid of the chic and handsome!
He is the Ji Jin Emperor!

It is very fierce when it is abusing food, but it will become weak and weak in a strong duel.

But Tottenham don't need him to break through and cut inside, but value his overall view and left-foot passing skills.

Eriksen followed up and shouted for the ball.
But it didn't work!
The Argentinian guy is very attached to the ball and would rather kick it out of the court than pass it to a teammate in a better position, otherwise his value will be higher.

"Lamela rushed directly to the penalty area!"

"His performance has been outstanding since he switched to Tottenham from Roma last season. He is one of the 'Seven Swords' at White Hart Lane!"

God's perspective.

Eriksen retreated to control.

Harry Kane broke into the penalty area and acted as a "killer".

Shazli is deep and can cut inside after receiving the ball, posing a huge threat.

Three sharp swords were unsheathed and their throats were sealed with blood!

Gerrard quickly got close to the defense and did not give his opponent a chance to take a long shot.

Lamela crossed the football with both legs and smashed the ball.

The audience in the stands vaguely saw the figure of Argentina's No. 10.

Messi's successor!

"Beautiful!"

"Defense of Liverpool!"

Lamela kept moving with his feet, suddenly moving to the outside.

He has already thought of a celebration.
Suddenly.

Lamela's vision was covered in thick yellow.

Liverpool number 6!
He started to move before Gerrard stretched out his foot to steal, and he saw the right time to steal.

Snapped!
A crisp sound.

Before Lamela could react, the football had disappeared from under his feet.

The last thought in his mind.
so fast?
"Quick and ruthless!"

"Qin Yun did not give his opponent a chance to adjust, and used a crisp steal to resolve Tottenham's attack."

"Liverpool strikes back!"

The offensive and defensive transitions of both teams were very fast and difficult to detect.

Tottenham's overall formation shrank in the direction of holding the ball, and the three attacking players performed high pressure on the spot, making it impossible for the opponent to handle the ball calmly.

Eriksen retreats to form a second line of protection.

The two defensive midfielders are slightly closer to the wings to prevent quick counterattacks.

The defense quickly transformed into a back three, with Vertonghen pushing forward to protect the hinterland.

Looks perfect, right?

Qin Yun unexpectedly chose to slow down and transfer the ball to the right rib area.

Tottenham's formation adjustment is entirely to prevent the opponent's quick counterattack and ensure that the opponent will not stay too much in the midfield.

But as mobile warfare transformed into positional warfare, everything changed.

Henderson stopped the ball and looked up.

With his reborn performance last season, he shattered the "parallel import" label that once followed him in one fell swoop and steadily moved towards the ranks of superstars.

The offensive direction needs to be adjusted to the midfield, which is near Eriksen.

Henderson understood Qin Yun’s meaning perfectly.

Clap!
The ball quickly rolled to Coutinho's feet.

Eriksen, the core of the midfield, shows off his talents on the offensive end, but due to his soft style of play, he hardly assumes defensive tasks.

Therefore Coutinho can perform perfectly.

As Sterling and Lucas ran interspersed, Henderson made timely advances and connections.

Tottenham's midfield was like a fragile piece of white paper that was torn into pieces.

Seeing this, the double defensive midfielders Capoue and Bentaleb hurriedly moved to the ribs to increase the thickness and intensity of the midfield.

However.
Coutinho passed the ball back and Henderson passed the ball through.

The football went straight to the right and passed Bentaleb.

Sterling ran wildly and hit the ball.

A funnel offensive position appears, occupying the core area while spreading the wings.

At the edge of the screen, a yellow figure looms.

Lori waved his hands and shouted: "Stop the rhythm and don't let your opponents spread out on the wing."

why?
Because Tottenham’s defense lacks layering and depth
Dell's defensive strategy is very safe. He does not rush to steal, but blocks the opponent's advancement route.

Shazli returned to defense and stuck to Coutinho, trying to freeze the ball distributor in the middle.

A series of operations brought Liverpool's progress to a standstill.

"The Tottenham players ran very actively and completed the defensive positioning in the backcourt as quickly as possible."

"Pochettino brings new tactics to White Hart Lane!"

side of the field.

"Reduce the excess in the middle, continue to attack from both wings, and make good use of the width of the field!"

Rogers' expression remained unchanged as he issued instructions to the field.

Although the players couldn't hear it, he wanted to show the attitude of a famous coach.

The other side.

Pochettino waved his hand.

Running is everything!
The pressing in the midfield and frontcourt cannot stop, and the initiative must be held in hand.

Coutinho received the ball and moved directly to the left wing.

Emre Can stopped the ball in front of him and made several fake moves in succession.

Useless!

Kyle Walker didn't take the bait at all and called on Capoue to press together.

Without any choice.

Emre Can could only pass back.

Coutinho was hit hard by Shazli and almost lost the ball. He quickly passed it to Henderson who was connecting from the side.

Upon seeing this, the Tottenham players immediately sped up and took advantage of the situation to use the overall defense to press forward step by step, trying to squeeze Liverpool into their own half.

"Why didn't Gerard move forward?"

"Without his presence, Liverpool did not have much advantage in the midfield and frontcourt, and instead fell into Tottenham's defensive trap."

"Kyle Walker and Dell moved forward quickly to initiate high pressure in the frontcourt."

Before Henderson could catch the ball, he saw two people coming towards him like horns.

Pass?

There are defensive players near the receiving points such as Coutinho and Lucas.

The forward passing route is blocked.
Liverpool were in a stalemate.

Henderson intends to make a long pass, which will at least leave enough time to organize the defense and prevent the opponent from taking advantage of the opportunity to counterattack.

Suddenly, he heard someone calling his name and saw a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

Henderson's anxiety disappeared.

Without doubting his presence, he decisively passed the ball diagonally.

Qin Yun moved the ball to the side and turned around at the same time.

Eriksen feels like he's hit a wall
clap clap clap!
Football kept leaving Qin Yun's feet and coming back again.

With continuous passing and cutting, Liverpool's midfield seemed to be injected with energy and suddenly took on a new look.

Tottenham were in a dilemma from pressing high to reorganizing their formation.

no way.
Bentaleb and Capoue looked at each other and rushed towards Liverpool No. 6 to destroy the most critical core node.

Qin Yun twisted his body, raised his left foot slightly, and made a pass.

There, Kyle Walker pushed forward but failed to return, leaking a small gap.

Time seemed to start to slow down.

An orange shadow appeared in his vision.

Cruyff!

The green field seems to have become a drawing board, waiting for the artist to put pen to paper.

Tottenham's two defensive midfielders both rushed towards the football.

The evening wind in London ruffled the boy's clothes.

Hook!

Turn around!

A simple action, but it bursts out with amazing magic!

The highest state of unity between man and ball!
There was silence at White Hart Lane.

"Cruyff turn around!"

"The perfect combination of feints, awareness and flexibility!"

It's not over yet!

A fake move to deceive everyone.

Tottenham's formation moved accordingly, causing a Yangguan Avenue to appear in the middle.

Qin Yun instantly found a clear context.

Without any pause, swing your right leg.Snapped!
With a crisp sound.

Liverpool No. 6 outlines a deadly attack line!

When the situation of the battle between the two armies on the field is uncertain, the inspiration flowing from the toes can instantly change the situation.

The football rolled against the turf.

As precise as a scalpel!
Sturridge ran away.

People are here!

The ball arrives!

Lori panicked and subconsciously attacked.

Is this a one-shot deal?
England's striker lived up to expectations.

Amid the deafening boos, he moved the ball to the left, found enough space, and pushed the ball into the empty goal.

0:1! ! !

"Fantastic!"

"The goal is scored!"

"Liverpool's hesitation in attacking led Tottenham to subconsciously think that the opponent would pass back to reorganize the attack, but who would have thought"

"Qin Yun is the trump card. He seizes the gap between Tottenham's formation changes and uses the time difference to tear open the defense line in the middle."

"But that was not enough. Qin Yun once again took advantage of the space on the wing and relied on his unbridled imagination to deceive everyone."

"The final fatal pass gives teammates an excellent chance to score!"

"This is the power of Liverpool's 'funnel' tactic!"

"Of course, Sturridge did not waste the opportunity and scored a solo goal in the 27th minute of the game."

Studio.

The barrage fell like snowflakes.
-
【Artist on the green field! 】
-
[Elegance never goes out of style! 】
-
[Every step is intertwined and calculated! 】
-
[Although Tottenham's defense is out of the "sinkhole" level, it has only been a short period of time, and it is obvious that there are still big loopholes. 】
-
[Indeed, the movement of the overall formation is too serious]
-
[Since the start of this season, Tottenham's defense combination has been changing. Without a long period of running-in, it will definitely be vulnerable in a strong confrontation. 】
-
[It's not that easy. Watch the replay carefully. Sterling on the right has already moved forward. With Qin Yun's footwork, he can easily send a long pass over the top and can also form a single shot. 】
-
[No, no, no, there is a high probability that Sterling will not score on his own. I suspect Qin Yun did not pass the ball on purpose. 】

side of the field.

"Oh, we still need to strengthen the pressing in the frontcourt."

Pochettino pulled out his tactical board and drew a huge five-pointed star on Liverpool No. 6.

Since he joined Tottenham in a high-profile manner, his words and deeds have become the target of public criticism. Although the two consecutive wins at the beginning of the season are satisfactory, the opponent's strength is actually not strong.

Now the problem has been completely exposed. Let alone winning the game, it is very difficult to equalize.

His coaching journey has a long way to go!

The other side.

Rogers glanced disdainfully at the camera and put his hands in his pockets.

The substitute players didn't have time to comprehend the head coach's momentum, and they all jumped up and hugged in celebration.

The Red Army fans who traveled with the team excitedly waved their flags and cheered.

Cold?

Who can say no to someone who can lead a team to victory?

After a few games, they finally understood why Milan fans were so crazy and couldn't help but look forward to the future.

To break it down, Liverpool has not won a championship for a long time.

On the green field.

Sturridge hurried back and knelt down on one knee diligently, "Qin, there's a lot of dirt on your sneakers. Let me wipe them for you."

"Daniel, my shoes are dirty too!", Sterling muttered.

Qin Yun smiled and patted the two of them on the shoulders. He didn't like this way of celebrating.

"Qin, your consciousness is so good, it's like you have a God's perspective!
"By the way, can you teach me the 'Cruyff turn'? I can't do it well every time."

"Also, how can I control the power of through balls perfectly like you do?"

"in addition."

Henderson held Qin Yun's shoulders and kept talking.

Big Black Egg and Little Black Egg looked at each other.

Broken, the house was robbed!
not far away.

Angry Lori began his own performance.

"Why don't you return to defense?"

"Want to stand in the front court and watch the show?"

High emotional intelligence: Remind the team to pay attention to defense by blaming teammates for not being active in defense.

Low EQ: People have bad tempers.

Vertonghen quickly intervened, and there was internal strife before the first half was over, so the game could not be played.

Harry Kane clenched his fists. He truly felt the gap between himself and the world's top players, and he must work harder next.

"Tottenham made the first substitution, with No. 19 Dembele replacing No. 42 Bentaleb."

"Dembele moved to Tottenham from Fulham in 12. He has good physical confrontation ability and can effectively improve the defensive intensity of the midfield, making it impossible for Coutinho to advance easily."

“Pochettino’s on-the-spot adjustments were timely.”

The mid-race circle reopens.

As the camera stretches, the offensive positions of Tottenham players are clearly visible.

The two wing-backs are positioned very forward, ready to move forward to participate in the attack.

Lamela wanders next to Harry Kane, and the two stand very close.

Eriksen's regular position occupies the right side of the court and can assist the backcourt in passing forward at any time.

Dembele has been given stronger offensive responsibilities. Oh, by the way, he is not the Dembele who cheated Messi.

The football passed continuously and came to Eriksson's feet.

As the true core of Tottenham's midfield, the Danish Footballer's strength is terrifying, especially his stability and organizational ability in passing and receiving.

Apart from being physically weak, he doesn't have any major flaws. At the end of his career, he was able to go to Inter Milan to help the poor.

The most basic defensive principles of Tottenham cannot allow Eriksen to hold the ball comfortably.

So Emre Can and Lucas quickly approached, the former went up to fight, and the latter waited for an opportunity to steal the ball.

Eriksen staggered but did not fall.

Snapped!
A concealed pass accurately finds his teammate diagonally ahead.

Lamela!
The Argentine genius who had just lost his chance did not dare to stick to the ball anymore and quickly distributed it.

Harry Kane carries Gerrard with his back.

His current strength is average, and he needs to be trained by Pochettino for two years before he can grow into a unique all-round center.

Harry Kane looks to turn and shoot.

But Gerrard's defense is extremely sophisticated, he keeps pushing forward and can steal when the opponent turns around and loses his center of gravity.

In desperation, Kane could only pass back.

Eriksen's vision is wide and the arch of his foot drives forward.

Snapped!
The football goes straight to the defensive gap on the far side.

Kyle Walker hit the ball.

He is very fast!

37.31 km/h, ranking first in the Premier League.

Mbappe is no stranger to being in his 30s.
Brazilian iron waist Lucas can't keep up at all. He is a stable type.

The midfield formed with Gerrard, Mascherano and Xavi Alonso was very strong, but what they were most afraid of were the speedy players.

"He is like a gust of wind!"

"Liverpool's wing is blown!"

"Pass or wipe in?"

in a blink.

Kyle Walker arrived on the right side of the penalty area and made a decisive pass without any hesitation.

Snapped!
With a crisp sound!
The football is like an arrow leaving the string, with a clear sense of falling, flying quickly to the back of the penalty area.

A very high-quality cross!

Harry Kane accurately judged the landing point, kicked off the turf with his legs, and jumped high with the help of his forward momentum.

His eyes are full of desire to win, which is the best stimulant.

White Hart Lane became noisy again, with Tottenham fans waving their flags and cheering wildly.

Useless!

Liverpool No. 6 took off at a faster pace.

Harry Kane seems to have seen the invincible God of War.

He was crushed in every aspect, both physically and mentally.

"Qin Yun relied on his height advantage to header the ball to make a clearance!"

"Predictive defense!"

"Harry Kane is still too young and couldn't grab the first spot!"

"Tottenham took off from both wings and the wings were empty."

"Gerrard protected the two points very well and swept the ball directly to the right without stopping."

"Beautiful transfer, giving full play to the speed and impact of the double S in the high-speed transition of offense and defense."

Sterling unloaded the ball steadily and blasted forward with force.

He is well aware of his advantages and wants to avoid contact with taller and stronger opponents.

Tottenham fans fell from heaven to hell in an instant and stood up in horror.

Bentaleb quickly ran diagonally to intercept his opponent before he reached the danger zone.

Sterling quickly looked up and observed.

He doesn't stick to the ball and hits the middle decisively.

Bentaleb was like a tiger descending the mountain, ferociously falling to the ground and letting go of his shovel.

Coutinho moved his ankle lightly, and then jumped up.

Snapped!
The ball slid past Bentaleb.

"Huh!"

"The Brazilian genius is full of imagination!"

"3 against 2 in the frontcourt!"

Frontier of the restricted area.

Vertonghen glanced at his teammates and signaled an offside attempt, but he suddenly pressed forward.

Coutinho quickly distributed the ball to the right.

Sterling is a thief, specifically half a body behind Tottenham's last player.

"Vertonghen turned very quickly. Sterling smashed the ball, but Vertonghen's movement was too fierce and knocked him down."

"The referee points to twelve yards, penalty kick, this is a penalty kick!"

Rogers waved his arms vigorously.

The chance to expand the score, leading by two goals in the first half, will make the game easier.

Pochettino was extremely sad.

Tottenham's frontcourt press was still not in place, otherwise Gerrard would not have been able to pass the ball.

"Qin, do you want to take a free throw?"

Sterling handed the football over without any intention of snatching it.

Nonsense, Henderson is already hugging his thighs, so he has to work harder.

"No, give it to the captain."

Qin Yun waved his hand and refused ruthlessly.

"It's okay, don't worry about me."

Gerrard was slightly surprised, and he was ready to give up the opportunity to take a penalty kick.

It stands to reason that it is normal for the team's core to take free throws, and Qin Yun is still young and definitely wants to be in the limelight.

But he didn't expect it.
"Captain, you are the first free throw shooter designated by the coach. If I take it away, I don't know how many people will criticize you."

"I care about reputation!"

Qin Yun made a joke.

"All right."

Gerrard did not shirk anymore and walked towards the penalty spot with the football in his arms.

beep!
With the referee's whistle.

Gerrard pushed hard and the football went in from the center of the goal.

0:2! ! !

Lori misjudged the direction and lay on the cold turf. He didn't even have the desire to argue.

White Hart Lane echoed with the songs of Liverpool fans.

"In the 39th minute of the game, Sterling made a point, and Gerrard made it in one fell swoop!"

"Liverpool expands its advantage again!"

"The balance of victory begins to tilt!"

The game resumes.

Spurs attacked with all their might.

43 minutes.

Eriksen made a pass from outside the penalty area.

The football fell to the left like a rainbow.

Harry Kane volleyed.

But he didn't even touch the football. Qin Yun used a precise sliding tackle to kick the ball out of the baseline.

45 minutes.

Harry Kane retreated to catch the ball, but before he could turn around, Qin Yun rushed up and destroyed it.

If he hadn't reached out decisively to pull, the score might have been rewritten again, but he received a yellow card for this.

Finally, at the referee's whistle, the first half of the game came to an end.

Qin Yun showed the strength of a first-class defender and organized the defense to easily resolve Tottenham's offensive.
