The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 678
As soon as Tottenham Hotspur announced the start of a new round of player contract renewal negotiations, it immediately attracted huge attention in the entire European football and media fields. Many professionals and reporters began to comment, thinking that Even Tottenham Hotspur are beginning to struggle under the pressure of soaring European wages.

Many football commentators have written articles, thinking that the Premier League teams should do a good job of tacit understanding to avoid falling into a salary war. After all, high salaries are not good for any team, so they propose to start a salary cap, which is wages. Cap the deal to avoid endless salary cap increases.

From this point, it is not difficult to see that every move of Tottenham Hotspur has a far-reaching impact. Even UEFA personally called White Hart Lane to ask Tottenham Hotspur to announce their intention to start contract renewal negotiations.

For this reason, on the second day, the day before the UEFA Champions League, Ye Qiu took the initiative to clarify at the press conference before the match, saying that the team restarted a new round of player contract renewal negotiations, and It is not due to the pressure of the salary structure from the outside world, but because of the decision made by the team after careful consideration.

Regarding the specific details, such as the extent of the salary increase, Ye Qiu did not explain to the public, but simply stated that all contract renewal negotiations will be completed within two years, and this is also regarded as the team's sale of Fabre. After Garth and David Silva and others, it was an important move to stabilize the players after the team reorganized.

The sale of Yaya Toure is obviously different from the sale of Cesc Fabregas and David Silva. The former was passively poached, but the latter two Spanish players were half-pushed by Tottenham Hotspur , that is, with apparent initiative.

It is inevitable that the players will feel panic in their hearts, worrying whether the team has financial problems?Or is it planning to take action against a group of superstars?Or are there other considerations?

All of these will inevitably bring shadows and bumps to the player's psychology, so the idea proposed by Ye Qiu at the time was to start the contract renewal and use the contract renewal to stabilize people's hearts, but for Tottenham Hotspur, starting the contract renewal But a big project cannot be done simply by saying a few words and doing a few assessments, but requires more thorough preparations.

But even if Ye Qiu once again reiterated that the team's salary structure will not exceed the red line of 45% of the team's operating income, in fact, the entire European football market, especially the Premier League market, has given this piece of news. There was a lot of reaction, and even the agents of many players on many teams stood up and asked for contract extensions.

Of course, they will adopt a more technical approach, such as rumors that a certain team is interested in a certain player. Players are interested, are you in a hurry?Do you want to renew the contract?If I don't renew the contract, then I will assume that I am in contact with others, which means that I can change jobs, and renewing the contract is also very simple, just give a higher salary!
That's why Ye Qiu often said that when he was a fan in his previous life, sometimes he believed the media reports too easily, and was always taken by surprise, but in fact, it was just a trick of wrestling between the club and the agent.

Obviously, the team announced the renewal of the contract, which means that the salary of the players will be raised, and the players are also happy in their hearts. When the players are happy, they will perform well on the field.

In the team's home game against Genk in Belgium in midweek, Tottenham Hotspur once again staged a carnage of the season, relying on Messi's hat-trick, Cavani's assist hat-trick and A goal, coupled with a pass and a shot from Ramsey and Neymar, slaughtered the Belgian Genk team 7-0 at home.

This is also the biggest victory since the UEFA Champions League this season. The Tottenham Hotspur team performed very well and took a 4:0 lead in the first half.

The aggressive Tottenham Hotspur not only conquered the opponents and fans at their home court, but also made all the members of the Chinese entrepreneur delegation who came to the scene full of praise, although many of them did not They don't know football, but this doesn't prevent them from feeling the unforgettable atmosphere of the game.

With this victory in this game, Tottenham Hotspur won three consecutive victories in the Champions League and ranked first in the group in points. As long as they win another victory, there is no suspense to advance from the group in advance.

After the midweek Champions League match, Tottenham Hotspur challenged Blackburn away on the weekend!
…………

…………

If you want to say that the away game against Blackburn made all Tottenham Hotspur fans feel worried, it must be that Ye Qiu actually made a large rotation of the frontcourt and midfield in the starting lineup for this game , The team's top center, Cavani, is currently Tottenham Hotspur's second-leading scorer.

The midfielder is the veteran Pirlo who has performed very well since joining Tottenham Hotspur this season and is regarded by the outside world as the team's number one midfielder core. Let Vidal not even enter the big list.

After such a generous rotation, Ye Qiu adopted a no-forward tactic in the frontcourt. Raul acted as the central striker, Hazzard and Messi played the two wings respectively, and the midfielder consisted of Ramsey and Phil Jones. With Dro behind, the defense basically hasn't changed much. This season, Alba and Marcelo have played a good rotation, and there is no big problem with anyone.

In this game, Ye Qiu played the Spanish left back Alba.

The right side is dominated by Alves. Although Kyle Walker is good, there is still no way to shake Alves' main position for the time being. However, Kyle Walker's progress in the past few seasons is still very eye-catching, especially in that season. Cross the ball from the right.

Cavani's absence and transition to no-forward tactics is also a major change for Tottenham Hotspur this season, so it's not surprising.

What really surprised people in this game was the formation of the midfield. Ye Qiu adopted the midfield combination of Ramsey, Sandro and Phil Jones, which really surprised many people. .

Blackburn's strength is indeed not strong. Although the head coach is also called Keane, it is a pity that it is not Roy Keane, but Steve Keane. A head coach who is not liked by the fans, because under his leadership, Blackburn is currently reduced to No. 20 in the Premier League.

If you stand at Blackburn's Ewood Park stadium now, you will find that there are many slogans and slogans humiliating Steve Keane in the stands of the home team fans, for example, "You have the guts to let the ranking drop one more place." try!"

"Collect money to give Keane a taxi and tell him to get out!"

But this is just an appetizer, and the real big deal is when the game is just about to start and the live broadcast is just going on, but there is a roar coming from the sky, and a small helicopter is seen. Hovering over the pitch.

At the beginning, everyone thought it was a plane sent by the police for law and order, but to everyone's surprise, the plane was hired by Blackburn fans, with a banner hanging on the tail.

"Steve Kean Out!"

That is the meaning of Steve Keane getting out. When this scene appeared on the big screen at Ewood Park, there was a burst of thunderous applause from the audience, which shows that the fans of Violence Ben have great respect for Steve Keane. dissatisfied.

However, as the head coach of the team, Steve Keane sat on the bench, obviously unmoved, but soon, another fan pulled out a banner, which apparently hastily wrote Just a sarcastic joke.

"Defender Grant Hanley is injured because he was hit on the training ground!"

"Steve Keane innocently told the reporter, I didn't see it!"

The performance of the violent fans in the stands was indeed very exciting, and it also made Andy Gray and Martin Taylor, who were in charge of the live commentary of this game, laugh from ear to ear, and kept praising the creativity and generosity of the Blackburn fans, at least The use of private jets is a major innovation.

But on the court, Ye Qiu knew very well that this game would be very, very difficult.

black this season is really bad, but they have been playing very well at home, because steve keane and the team need to redeem themselves, they need to play a game in front of the home fans Wonderful games, and then change the fans' perception of them.

For example, playing Arsenal this season, falling behind twice and tying twice, and then overtaking by two goals in one breath, such a tenacious performance really makes people have to be cautious, and although Blackburn's overall strength is indeed very bad, this team What's the nickname of the team, Violent Ben, once this team gets aggressive, they won't be polite to you.

It was also because of this that Ye Qiu chose to replace Pirlo in this game, but after he won Pirlo, he also played a pair of macho Sandro and Phil Jones in his own midfield.

Although it is a macho combination, the performance of the Tottenham Hotspur midfielder in this game is actually quite amazing.

Phil Jones, who reunited with his former club, was very excited from the very beginning of the game. In the 3rd minute, after taking the ball in the middle and being double-teamed by three players in the opponent's midfield, Phil Jones used solid ball protection Actions, and relying on his strong physical fitness, he steadily brought the ball out of the encirclement.

And in the 5th minute, he stepped in once after receiving Raul's back-knock ball at the front of the penalty area, and directly shot an angry shot, which turned into an anti-aircraft gun, but both images were very impressive.

Andy Gray also commented in the commentary, thinking that Phil Jones showed his strong desire to play in this game, and after being selected for Capello's national team, he was also positioned as a midfielder by Capello Position, Capello believes that he is more suitable here to play his characteristics of running in a wide range and actively fighting and oppressing.

But the most impressive part of the game was the moment when Phil Jones sprinted upfield and turned his back to catch a low pass from Thiago Silva behind him. Completed the turn, with a clear change of direction, and then suddenly started, broke through the defense of the opponent's midfielder, and then went straight to Messi, but the pass was a little too hard.

This performance made Ye Qiu and Mauro Tassotti applaud from the sidelines.

In fact, what Phil Jones uses are some of the most basic skills, but he has mastered these skills through his usual hard training, and then he can use them in actual combat. If he uses them well, he can easily give people A feeling of delicate technique under the feet, but in fact, these are the most basic things.

In this regard, Mullenstein and Moniz have contributed a lot!

It must be mentioned that many ordinary fans have a misunderstanding. They are easily confused by their own eyes. It seems that many people praise Barcelona's Harvey for turning around and getting rid of it very well, even because of his turning in circles. They just thought how good his skills were, but in fact, they were really confused by everything on the field.

It is undeniable that Harvey's skills are indeed good, but they have definitely not reached the top level. Even in Barcelona, ​​Iniesta's small skills are much, much thinner than Harvey's. It is also to get rid of, and there is actually no difficulty in turning around. In other words, it is very practical, which is for sure, but it lacks efficiency, so it is not a manifestation of any outstanding technology at all, let alone the height of some magical skills that many fans have boasted.

The core reason why Harvey is able to circle around is that Barcelona’s overall pull and running creates space and enough contact points for him to ensure that after he circles, the ball has a suitable way out and will not be lost. .

Once he loses space and contact points, his circling will only result in low offensive efficiency and sticky ball.

Therefore, many fans are easily confused when watching football, because the application of the same two technical skills in different environments, different times, and different spaces will produce two completely different effects.

The same is true for Phil Jones this time. As a professional player, there is no need to doubt his basic skills. Otherwise, it would be impossible to stand out from Blackburn at a young age. Giving him an intellectual advancement in the use of basic skills, and giving him the room to grow in that way.

If Phil Jones alone wasn't enough, look no further than Tottenham Hotspur's first goal.

After Sandro took the ball, he made a diagonal pass of more than 35 meters and gave it to Messi on the right side of the penalty area. After the Argentine unloaded the ball with his body, he was double-teamed by two defensive players and led back. After a few steps, he suddenly hit the bottom line.

Alves on the right quickly stepped in and made a half-high pass directly, and then Raul rushed into the penalty area with a header, trying to hit a far corner with a header, but the ball deceived the goalkeeper Robinson, but It was a little bit off, and Phil Jones, who followed behind, hooked the ball back to the goal line with his feet, 1:0!

This is a goal that happened in the No. 20 minute of the game, and it also pushed the dissatisfaction with the head coach Steve Keane to the highest point in the entire Ewood Park Stadium. Almost all the violent fans in the audience were in high spirits. Shouting the slogan of telling Keane to get out.

But Steve Keane is indeed tough enough. In the No.308 minute of the first half, Tottenham Hotspur midfielder made a mistake in passing and catching the ball. Received an assist from his teammates during the quick counterattack and equalized the score for Blackburn. This goal was more like a return to Blackburn's almost desperate press.

After equalizing the score, the two sides returned to the same starting line, and Tottenham Hotspur also exposed the problem of Phil Jones and Sandro's midfield combination, that is, the passing and receiving are not enough, Especially when the speed of the ball increases, they make too many mistakes in handling the ball, and being caught once is a fatal injury.

Ye Qiu also saw these problems very clearly. Behind him were five members of the technical analysis team accompanying the team, and they were recording all kinds of information. After each game, they would provide technical analysis reports to each player.

But to use Bobby? Harms said, no young people will not make mistakes, the key is to see how these mistakes are, whether there is time and space to make up for, or whether they have the kind of determination to improve .

Why sell Carol and Ashley Young, because they have become famous, especially Carol, who lacks self-motivation and is a little satisfied with what he has achieved now. Ye Qiu suggested that he learn from Fanny. If it is necessary, let him contact and pass the ball more, but he ignores it, because he feels that what he currently has is enough.

It's a mentality issue!
For a young player, the most important thing is mentality!
Unlike Carol and Ashley Young, Phil Jones was hardworking and hardworking, and so was Sandro.

Just like in this game, they exposed the problem of passing and receiving the ball quickly. What's so difficult about it?
If they insisted on entering the practice room every day in Tottenham Hotspur, and meticulously completed all the training items when participating in team training every day, looking back a year later, you will find that the speed of their improvement will surprise you !
But there are some things you can't even change as a head coach.

For example, after the start of the second half, Blackburn launched a crazy attack and forced Tottenham Hotspur. Tottenham Hotspur resolutely counterattacked. After 75 minutes, both sides were almost exhausted. , but the entire midfield of Tottenham Hotspur is still running, still fighting, and constantly fighting for opportunities.

This reflects their mentality, the blood and desire to win in their bones.

In the end, in the No.804 minute, Hazard knocked back from the right, and Ramsey picked a pass from the penalty area to go to Raul, but the Spaniard didn't get a chance, and the header kicked back to Sandro, who was plugged in. The Brazilian As soon as the ball is unloaded with the left foot, the right foot is swung directly and it is a volley.

This volley was very decisive, very ruthless, powerful, and the speed of the ball was very fast. The old goalkeeper Robinson was beyond his reach, and directly let this volley into Blackburn's goal, 2:1!

Ye Qiu applauded Sandro's goal on the sidelines. This game was his investigation of two players, Phil Jones and Sandro. In fact, the answers given by the two players were mixed, but No matter what, their attitude determines their lower limit.

Perhaps, in a short period of time, they do not have the strength to be on their own in the team, but at least their attitude allows them to become a suitable rotation role for the team.

And Ye Qiu also very much needs to understand the role and ability of each player in the team, and design the roles for them to play.

At the right time, reasonably inspect every player in the team. This is something that any head coach who wants to pursue must figure out in a season that wants to make a difference.
