The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 682

What conditions do young players need to grow into talents?
Perhaps most people will be the first to react to injuries.

Because only by staying away from injuries, young players can maintain the momentum of improvement for a long time, and often times, young players are defeated by injuries, and a serious injury is enough to ruin their originally very bright future.

But besides injuries, what else?
Meeting the right head coach is also very important.

Don't believe it, Oriol Romeu will tell you with a real case that it is indeed the case.

The 20-year-old Spanish midfielder came to Stamford Bridge with the halo of a star of hope. The head coach of the Blues called Romeu the hope of Chelsea's midfielder position. West Asia's midfielder is fully capable of becoming a top midfielder. His arrival can balance Chelsea's midfielder and allow everyone to play freely.

Tall and strong, with an excellent sense of position, strong tactical understanding, good passing and speed, and he also has very good organizational skills. This is Boas's evaluation of Romeu, and Romeu's stop During the ball, Boas used a very exaggerated adjective, cosmic level.

Perhaps, he really watched too much Altman!

In Boas's view, Romeu is a player who can embody his tactical thinking, high pressure, full-court press, Romeu's style from La Masia, and his technical ability, so that he can become a An important metronome in the transition between offense and defense in the Chelsea team.

The away game against Tottenham Hotspur was regarded by Villas-Boas as a battle of self-salvation. According to media reports, when he faced Abramovich and Pini Zahavi, he also made a solemn promise. At least he was able to retreat from the away game in the first battle, and when facing the media microphone, he repeatedly emphasized his confidence.

It is not yet time for African players to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations. Lampard, Terry and other players are recharging their energy and waiting for this city derby. Villas-Boas has become the fifth blue coach to challenge Ye Qiu in the past five years. But he has never been able to help Abramovich heal the eternal pain in memory.

Before the game, when the media was discussing the starting lineups of the two sides, in the position of the midfielder, everyone believed that Mikel would be eligible for the starting lineup, because in such a crucial battle, the more experienced Mikel Er did my part.

But Boas is obviously going to surprise everyone, and the starting lineup he arranged in this game surprised everyone.

There is no doubt that the goalkeeper is Julio Cesar, but there is no suspense about the left back Ashley Cole and center back Terry partnering with Ivanovic in the defense. Leyla, not Bosingwa, is the Raider.

In the midfield, Lampard and Ramirez have no problem starting, but they gave up Mikel as the midfielder and adopted the Spanish teenager Romeu. This is another big controversy, although from the perspective of theory and characteristics, Romeu is more suitable for the midfielder position of Boas' tactical system, but can he be alone?
To say he is young, he is already 20 years old. The 20-year-old Ramsey is already the main force in Tottenham Hotspur. The 20-year-old Messi, Cesc Fabregas and others have also emerged, so Rome Wu said that he was young but he was not young anymore.

The frontcourt gave up the combination of Drogba and Torres, who have been unable to get along this season, and arranged a combination of Malouda, Drogba and Sturridge.

Tottenham Hotspur sits at their home court, and Ye Qiu also has a main lineup for this match.

The goalkeeper is Cech, the defense is Marcelo, Kompany, Thiago Silva and Alves, the midfielder is the iron triangle combination of Ramsey, Pirlo and Vidal, and the frontcourt is Hazard, Cavani and Messi.

Although Ribery has returned from injury and returned to the training ground, Ye Qiu did not arrange him into the squad for the game, but let Hazard start and Neymar sat on the bench .

Before the start of this game, Ye Qiu put forward two requirements when arranging the game tactics in the locker room. Tactics must be based on the team having sufficient running ability, but the current Chelsea team does not.

Second, focus on attacking Chelsea's midfielder, which is the position of Mikel.

It should be said that Ye Qiu's pre-match arrangement was based on the report given by the team's tactical analysis team, and based on his past experience against Chelsea, as well as some Chelsea game videos he watched this season. , He found that he was half right and half wrong.

Boas' surprise tactics were really amazing, at least Ye Qiu never expected that Romeu would start.

Therefore, considering the home game and Boas' sudden change, Ye Qiu temporarily adjusted the team's tactics before the start of the game, in order to start the game steadily, and the players also resolutely implemented Ye Qiu's tactics and adjustments. Actively attacking, but still using his own running and pulling to drive the rhythm of the game.

But although Tottenham Hotspur dominated the game, the goal in the first 10 minutes has never been effective. Chelsea's defense seems to have improved to a certain extent, especially after Romeu replaced Mikel. With a wider range of activities and a wider area covered, Tottenham's attack seems to be contained by him.

On the sidelines, Villas-Boas, in a suit and ties, seemed happy with his team's start, especially after 15 minutes into the clock, it looked like Tottenham's opening break had passed and the game went into It's a stalemate.

But Ye Qiu, who was on the coaching bench of the home team, shook his head, "Tender, it's still too tender!"

Although Ye Qiu is younger than Boas, in terms of coaching experience, Boas can't catch up with Ye Qiu.

After Mauro Tassotti heard it, he also laughed, "Although Romeu has a wider range of activities, he often leaves his position and distances himself from the defense behind him, forcing the defense to either press forward or lead to The distance is widened."

The result of pressing forward is that when you can't suppress Tottenham Hotspur's attack in the midfield, it is easy to be directly hit behind by Bai Baihe, and the result of being widened is also dangerous. This means that once someone appears In this area, especially when players with strong personal abilities such as Messi, Cavani and Hazard appear here to hold the ball, that is a fatal crisis.

"Mikel's shortcomings are indeed fatal, but his strengths are also very good. First, he does not leave his position easily. Second, he hardly concedes the ball in the process of offensive and defensive transitions. Third, he rarely loses the ball. Stick to the ball, and try to pass the ball in the way with the highest success rate of crossing."

Ye Qiu shook his head when he said this, "This is the result of the great tactical turmoil!"

It should be said that Mikel is very suitable for Mourinho's tactical thinking, he is trained according to Mourinho's tactics, so he looks like a Makelele-type positional midfielder, but if you want If you press the defense forward, you can either learn from Barcelona to control the ball, or learn from Tottenham Hotspur to use a covering midfielder like Yaya Toure.

Of course, you can also learn from Ye Qiu's approach this season, using a Pirlo who doesn't run much, plus two midfielders Ramsey and Vidal who have a wide range of movement and can ensure a good offensive and defensive rate, that can also be achieved. The purpose of balancing the midfield.

But in the current Chelsea tactics, if Mikel is used, I'm sorry, the other two midfielders have to revolve around him, and Ramirez is better, and Lampard's words can't guarantee that the offense and defense are in place at all.

That's why Villas-Boas wanted to use Romeu, but here comes the problem. He likes to organize with the ball and advance with the ball. To put it bluntly, he is a bit sticky to the ball, and he tends to lose his position.

The tragedy of Chelsea now lies in this. The head coach changes all day long, without a fixed thinking, and without a mature tactical system. The current set of players may be suitable for Mourinho, Hiddink, Scolari And others, even in the hands of Ancelotti, it can work, but there was an Essien at that time, but the Ghana buffalo is not healed now.

And during Ancelotti's period, the Italian has mentioned Chelsea's aging lineup more than once.

When your tactics are changing all day long, when your players are difficult to adapt to the head coach, when your team lineup is aging, all these, when so many problems come at the same time, if you are an experienced head coach, you should Choose to build the team's tactics according to the current situation, but Chelsea has dug in a fledgling Boas who only knows one set of tactics.

Ye Qiu glanced at Boas. He noticed that when Boas looked at him, there was a little color on his face. He shook his head and smiled. After shouting, the latter quickly took advantage of a dead ball and ran to the sidelines.

"Tell Vidal and Pirlo, hold the ball, pull Romeu out and hit behind!"

Concise and concise, but sweating profusely, Ramsey nodded at Ye Qiu, ran back to the court, and then took a chance to convey the coach's meaning to Vidal, Pirlo, and other teammates.

The time passed by one minute and one second, and entered 10 minutes. The situation did not seem to have changed much. It seemed that Tottenham Hotspur had taken the initiative, but failed to break through Chelsea's defense. Even Andy Gray was commenting "Chelsea's defensive organization is pretty good today!"

Martin Taylor shook his head, "I think it's mainly because Tottenham Hotspur's offense is not threatening!"

But as soon as the words of the two famous Premier League speakers fell, they saw Chelsea rush into the 30-meter area of ​​Tottenham Hotspur in an attack, but the ball was broken by Kompany, who suddenly robbed at the front of the penalty area. , The Belgian central defender steals the ball and passes it to Pirlo.

The Italian took the ball with his back, turned around and got rid of Lampard's harassment, and passed it to Ramsey.

For a while, Chelsea's entire defense line was retreating quickly, while Ramsey took the ball and rushed forward, facing Romeu, and beside him was Ramirez who was chasing back.

According to the normal situation, Romeu should retreat at this time and let Ramirez entangle Ramsey. He should stay in his position, but the Spaniard rushed forward at the first time. Mires formed a siege and broke Ramsey's ball.

But Ramsey was obviously prepared for this. Before Romeu arrived, he pulled the ball to the right, and sent a diagonal pass with his right foot, while Messi ran from the right. Go to the area near the middle to grab the ball and turn around.

All defensive players are afraid of offensive players facing the direction of the goal. The reason is simple. They have too many choices, especially for top attackers like Messi. Once they face the attacking direction, they take the ball forward Suddenly, the defensive player basically has no other choice but to foul.

Terry knew that he couldn't retreat, so he chose to stop Messi, but the Argentine's speed increased, and a feint smashed the ball, directly shaking the tall and burly Terry off balance, slipping to the ground, With a diagonal pass to the left side of the penalty area with his left foot, Cavani caught Ivanovic, and Hazard and Ferreira competed for speed to finish off the Portuguese veteran.

On the left side of the penalty spot, Hazzard rushed to grab the ball before the goalkeeper Cesar who was attacking, and poked the ball with his foot. After avoiding Cesar, he chased after him and shot the empty goal successfully, 1:0 !

Taking the lead in breaking the opponent's goal, the morale of Tottenham Hotspur soared, and the attack horn against Chelsea was sounded again.

Soon, it was another attack against Romeu. Messi pulled to the center and moved between Romeu and the defense line to get the ball. Pirlo's overhead diagonal pass came to him accurately and quickly. This time Romeu also reacted quickly, turned around and rushed up, but at this time Messi had already faced Terry.

When it was time to make a foul, Romeu hesitated. He watched Messi make a sudden stop and smash the ball past Terry before he got close to Messi, but at this time he did not dare to foul, because A foul is a red card.

The final result was that the two fought for speed. Messi, who is short but very flexible, easily got rid of Romeu. After rushing into Chelsea's penalty area, he lobbed and scored, 2:0!

The entire White Hart Lane Stadium was completely blown up, and all the fans of Bai Lily were applauding for Messi's outstanding performance. The Argentine superstar will always usher in an explosion at the end of the year, because he has to fight for himself in various fields. In the selection, more votes were sought, and Tottenham Hotspur also used his outbreak to actively build momentum for him.

Defeated like a mountain, Boas clearly realized that his redemption battle had been completely defeated, but he still wanted to try harder, at least he had to develop his own tactical thinking.

But after scoring two goals in 10 minutes, Tottenham Hotspur quickly played another attack in the 34th minute. Pirlo made a diagonal pass to the left and Hazard forced a breakthrough after Ferreira. Picking a pass from the penalty area, Cavani headed the ball back to the point, and then inserted Vidal's goal from close range without jumping. The header on the spot broke Chelsea's goal again, 3:0!

The overwhelming Tottenham Hotspur was almost out of control. Even after taking a three-goal lead, they still bombarded Chelsea indiscriminately. Under great pressure.

When Andy Gray and Martin Taylor were both commenting, they said helplessly that Tottenham Hotspur's first half looked more like a lesson for Chelsea.

"After 10 minutes into the game, Tottenham Hotspur made an obvious adjustment. They no longer insisted on playing both ribs, but more from the midfielder to push the ball forward to attack Chelsea's backcourt. Take advantage of Romeu."

"Boas has always said that his team will continue to stick to high defense and pressing tactics, now I think he should look at Tottenham Hotspur, the latter is high defense and pressing, but theirs Players can run more than [-] kilometers per game, can Chelsea players?"

"Forcibly adopting inappropriate tactics at the time of inappropriate player allocation, Villas-Boas has created Chelsea's current predicament!"

But just after Andy Gray and Martin Taylor had finished speaking, Tottenham Hotspur once pressed in the frontcourt, Ashley Cole pulled the ball to the left, and Messi made a symbolic press on him , and Ashley Cole quickly moved the ball into the middle.

Cavani was already retreating. As soon as he saw the opportunity, he rushed towards Terry like a wolf. The latter made a mistake in the pass in a hurry and passed the ball to Terry. Turnham Hotspur's left winger Hazard, who took the ball and passed it directly behind Terry and Ivanovic.

Cavani, who was rushing forward, of course would not give up such an opportunity. He passed Terry without slowing down. Before Terry, he volleyed from the penalty area line and pierced Cesar again. goal, 4:0!

"Wow!!!!!!!!!"

"25 minutes, before the end of the first half, Tottenham Hotspur scored another goal, scored four goals in 25 minutes, my God, Tottenham Hotspur is going to beat Chelsea to death! "Andy Gray was very excited to see it.

All these bystanders are afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

Martin Taylor also laughed at the side, "There is no way, the difference in strength is too great, Drogba is just a decoration in the front, if you don't solve the problem in the middle and backcourt, and the waist of the whole midfielder can't stand up, it will be difficult for you to deal with it." Tottenham are a threat!"

"I even have a premonition that unless Villas-Boas makes adjustments in the midfield, Chelsea will still leave White Hart Lane with a humiliating score in this game if the situation continues!"

Andy Gray was very excited after hearing this, "If this is the case, then Tottenham Hotspur this season will be really amazing, with great victories against Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea, traditional giants The team was almost wiped out by them!"

Martin Taylor also said with admiration: "Actually, judging from the starting points of both sides in this game, Tottenham Hotspur didn't have much pertinence. Boas' surprise attack still had a certain effect, but the key is, Halfway through the first half, Ye Qiu saw a problem and immediately made adjustments, but Villas-Boas did not follow Tottenham Hotspur's adjustments, which directly led to the defeat!"

"Yes, if you look at the course of the game, Villas-Boas and Romeu should take the responsibility!" Andy Gray also felt the same, "Oh, yes, there is also the unlucky Portuguese veteran Ferreira! "

If you lose the game, you must find the responsibility. Whoever is unlucky, that is who it is!
