The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 697

To be precise, Mazari debuted at the same time as Ye Qiu.

In the 99/00 season, when Ye Qiu was excluded from the Ajax youth team, Mazari was already coaching in Naples, which was in Serie B at the time. At that time, he served as an assistant coach in Naples, assisting Ulivieri, and accumulated After several years of experience as an assistant, he only started to coach a team in the Italian C2001 League for the first time in the summer of [-].

Ye Qiu's opportunities are much better than Mazari's, but more importantly, Mazari missed some opportunities, but Ye Qiu seized some opportunities, so although the two debuted at the same time, their current status and influence There is a huge gap.

1:1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur at home, Mazari is not satisfied with the result of the game, if it is 1:0, it must be better, but an away goal makes Tottenham Hotspur occupy took the initiative.

How to play as a guest at White Hart Lane?
When Mazzari left Italy for London, in an interview with reporters, he made no secret that he would play defensive counterattacks away, "No team dares to play against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane. We must find the best way for us to qualify for away promotion!"

Compared with other coaches, Mazari did not play smoke bombs this time. He did use defensive counterattack tactics in this game, and he was a bit defensive, because he knew very well that Tottenham Hotspur The strength is not trivial.

Even though he just had a tough battle against Manchester United, Ye Qiu did not carry out a large-scale rotation in this game. The front trident and the midfield trio did not move, but the right side of the backcourt was changed to Kyle. ? Walker starts.

At the beginning of the game, Tottenham Hotspur launched a fierce impact on Naples with the advantage of their home court.

Mazari obviously made enough preparations for Tottenham Hotspur's opening attack. After the opening, Naples put on a typical Italian defense, reflecting the stability of the Serie A team in defense, even if Tottenham Tottenham played a fierce attack, but Naples still defended the goal.

After 10 minutes of attacking, there was no effect. Tottenham Hotspur had to take a breather, and Naples took advantage of this opportunity to start a counterattack. This also reflects the strength of this team, at least the results of Naples in recent years It is definitely not a coincidence or luck that it is getting better and better. This is a team full of resilience.

The biggest highlight of Naples in this game is undoubtedly the number one midfielder Hamsik of this Serie A team.

Many people think that Hamsik is very similar to Nedved. He has the tenacious fighting spirit and unremitting will of the Czech iron man, and he is also very hardworking and dedicated in the game, but watching him play football always feels that he lacks a little spirituality.

Of course, he still has a lot of room for development, especially with the improvement of age and the accumulation of experience, he may gradually undergo some transformation, allowing himself to rank among the top teams, but from the current point of view, he is still Does not have the kind of strength that one person can drive the whole team.

The situation on Tottenham Hotspur's side is not very good either. They had just played against Manchester United four days ago. The players are generally tired. When they meet a team like Naples again, especially as the team's arrow Character, Cavani was not active in this game.

During the intermission, the reports of the team's analysis team pointed to Cavani and Ramsey without exception. They believed that the team's offensive momentum in the first half had a lot to do with these two players.

This is not to say that their strength is not good or what, the main reason is that they are too tired and in poor condition, which drags down the team.

However, Ye Qiu still did not make substitutions during the intermission. For this point, Mauro Tassotti and Roland Shepas and others are very supportive. The reason is very simple. Substitutions in midfield are not only for the authority of the head coach A kind of weakening, but also a blow to the enthusiasm of the players.

Unless there was a disastrous first-half performance, who would make a substitution at half-time?
But Ye Qiu has been actively preparing since the second half, and he has already prepared a replacement.

At this time, the game went on for 8 minutes, Naples fouled in the backcourt, Pirlo took an indirect free kick, causing chaos in the Naples penalty area, Messi, a big kid, grabbed the ball and got a chance to kick , but was saved by the goalkeeper, and Ribery made a missed shot and hit it, 1:0!

This goal made Tottenham Hotspur feel relieved, but after the goal, Ye Qiu made two substitutions, replacing Cavani with veteran Raul and Geba replaced Ramsey, not only considering the team's tactical needs, but also taking care of the players' emotions.

With the outstanding performance of Tottenham Hotspur, Vidal has now gradually stepped into the ranks of top European stars. He has become the object that all fans talk about. After a season of performance, many people The impression of him has changed a lot, from the original Yaya Touré II to the current Vidal I.

As Ye Qiu said when he announced the introduction of Vidal in the summer, Vidal is not the same as Yaya Toure at all.

Sometimes looking back, Vidal will be very glad that he chose Tottenham Hotspur, because it turns out that his choice is very correct and very wise. In Tottenham Hotspur, he not only He has gained fame and influence, as well as strength.

To be honest, being teammates with so many top superstars will force you to constantly pursue improvement.

For the current midfielder, whether it is Vidal or Ramsey, Ye Qiu will give tasks on the offensive and defensive levels. For example, Vidal will not only contribute to the offense in this game, but also pay attention to protecting Pierre. Luo, to help defend the two ribs, and at the same time restrict Naples' midfielder Hamsik.

It seems that there are many tasks, but in fact, except for restricting Hamsik, the others are the tasks of Vidal in every game, there is nothing special about it, and restricting Hamsik is not difficult. According to Qiu, as long as you perform well, you will naturally suppress him.

Three times, this is the number of times Vidal steals the ball from Hamsik's feet. He himself remembers it clearly, twice in the first half, and once in the second half so far. He even started to hide subconsciously when he saw Vidal.

But Vidal also had to compete with Hamsik, he hid on the right, Vidal followed to the right, hid to the left, Vidal also followed to the left, even when he retreated, Vidal followed and pressed forward , Pirlo also moved forward, and Tottenham Hotspur's entire defense line followed, and Naples became more passive.

It really made Hamsik so angry that his teeth ached, but there was nothing he could do!
In addition to Hamsik, Vidal had five steals in this game, all of which were successful. This is also a very good defensive statistic, and his performance on the offensive end is also good. In the first half, he almost scored with a long shot. In the second half, after the team made two substitutions, Ye Qiu began to ask him and Pogba to expand their range of activities.

Naples' physical fitness is dying!
Some people say that Tottenham Hotspur's most powerful weapon does not lie in their offensive methods or the strength of their players, but in their physical fitness. Especially this season, this physical advantage is even more reflected obvious.

Immediately launch a rush attack after the opening, use offense to suppress the opponent, and then maintain a fast-paced and high-pressing posture appropriately to consume the opponent's physical energy. If you can score goals, that is naturally the best. Even if you can't score goals, you can keep going Consume the opponent.

Usually after six or 10 minutes of the second half, the opponent's physical fitness is also consumed to a certain extent. Although Tottenham Hotspur also consumed a lot, their physical fitness is indeed better and their overall strength is stronger. After six or 10 minutes, they can take advantage of the opponent's physical decline before launching a powerful offense.

Of course, this time it became more of a battle of willpower.

Naples' defense is indeed very tight, even to the point of sticking to it, but they still quickly exposed their flaws.

After expanding the range of activities, Vidal often changed positions. This time, when he saw Ribery receive a direct pass from Marcelo on the left sideline, he pulled Naples' right back out, so Vidal changed positions. Pointing to the front of himself, he rushed forward, and Ribery made a diagonal pass to the penalty area.

After Vidal received the ball in the left corner of the penalty area, he brought it forward into the penalty area, and Naples central defender Paul Cannavaro followed him. This Italian central defender, who is slightly taller than his brother Cannavaro, is also very strong Not bad, following closely, bending over, like a cheetah staring at its prey, ready to strike at any time.

Instead of rushing to break through, Vidal slowed down and looked up, he just took a glance to notice the whole situation in front of him, Cavani attracted two defenders in the penalty area, Messi also moved to the big penalty area The top of the arc was ready to catch the ball, but he was followed by a defensive player, and Pogba rushed from behind Messi to the right side of the penalty area, while raising his hand for the ball.

At this time, he has too many choices. He can pass to Messi, or pass to find Cavani, or find Pogba who plugs in from the back, all of which can create a fatal threat, and Paul Cannavaro can also It seems that Vidal should pass the ball, and even his position is a bit biased to block the route Vidal passed to Messi.

It should be said that there is no big problem with Paul Cannavaro's choice. Although he gave Vidal a shooting angle, the shooting angle is very small, and the goalkeeper De Sanctis is already in place, blocking From this angle, if Vidal shoots forcibly, the goalkeeper can basically save the ball.

And Paul Cannavaro doesn't think that Vidal will force his foot in this position. If it were Ribery, Cavani or Messi, he would not dare to have such an idea.

But just for a moment, Vidal reacted. He felt that he had a chance, because Naples' defense was obviously biased towards Messi. They didn't dare to let the Argentine take the ball at the top of the penalty area. Paul Cannavaro's one-on-one defense, Vidal first made a fake move of stepping on a bicycle to rush towards the middle, but then stepped on another bicycle to the bottom.

Paulo Cannavaro was tricked by Vidal into blocking the middle of the two consecutive feints of stepping on a bicycle to enlarge the gap between himself and the goal, while Vidal's second step on a bicycle was to smash the ball to the bottom , After half a body position with Paul Cannavarola, he hardly hesitated, and directly volleyed vigorously with his left foot.

The whole process took place in about a second. Everyone might not even realize that Vidal was pedaling a bicycle, but they just felt that they didn't know what was going on. The Naples central defender was passed by Vidal, and then Chile The person's left foot volleys vigorously in one go, without the slightest sloppiness.

And what's even more wonderful is that when shooting from this oblique angle to the goal, the success rate of hitting the far corner is often relatively high, especially when shooting with a high ball, but Vidal's kick was hit. The close corner, that is, the position above the goalkeeper's head, and it is a climbing method to hit the goal.

In the end, the ball almost rubbed against the angle between the post and the beam and hit the top net, a lore goal in the dead corner of the upper left corner of the goal!
So, even though Napoli goalkeeper De Sanctis had already reacted and his body made a save, Vidal's entire dribble and shot was unexpected, and he even threw himself on the ground instead of Jump to the heights.

After the goal, Vidal rushed out of Naples' penalty area excitedly. 2:0, he broke through with a very wonderful dribble and scored, expanding the score for Tottenham Hotspur!

And this goal almost completely sentenced Naples to death!

Tottenham Hotspur also realized this, so they rushed outside the stadium to celebrate very excitedly. A group of people hugged tightly on the sidelines and shouted loudly at the white lily fans in the stands. Received cheers and applause from the fans.

After a two-goal lead, Tottenham Hotspur clearly had the chance to win, and the Naples players were also hit hard, but Tottenham Hotspur did not intend to stop there, but continued to launch a fierce attack on Naples.

Raul once retreated to get the ball and turned around to go straight behind him. Messi slanted into the left side of the goal of the penalty area. After a successful anti-offside, he took the ball and turned around with his left foot and shot low. He broke the goal of Naples again, 3:0!

And when the game progressed to No.80 two minutes, Raul retreated back to get the ball, turned around and got rid of the defender, and quickly dribbled the ball forward, while Ribery formed a formation with Raul A staggered pass, Raul dribbled the ball to the left to attract the attention of the defender, while Ribery cut to the right.

At the right time, Raul scored the ball with his left foot in front of Ribery, the French scar face entered the penalty area, and volleyed with his right foot without stopping. The ball scored again in Naples' goal, 4:0!

Scored twice! ! !

Franck Ribery rushed towards Raul excitedly. Facts have proved that the decision of Ye Qiu and the coaching staff is correct. Facing Italian teams, especially Naples, which is a defensive midfielder, Raul really wants to It is more useful than Cavani, at least he is much better than the Uruguayan in terms of flexible position changes, ball handling and connection.

Of course, it’s not that Cavani’s strength is not good. The Uruguayan center is already one of the top centers today, but his characteristic is that he is not good at doing such delicate tasks. He looks like a fierce Zhang Fei. How can he do it? What about this needlework?
As the head coach, Ye Qiu made a mistake in the starting lineup in this game. He hesitated between Cavani and Raul and chose Cavani, but after the intermission, he realized his mistake.

This world is like this, everyone will make mistakes, the key is that some people quickly realize their mistakes and correct them, while some people do not correct their mistakes after knowing their mistakes, but the saddest thing is the last one, they Never knowing that I'm making a mistake.

1:1 away and 4:0 at home, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Naples, currently ranked fourth in Serie A, with a total score of 5:1 in two rounds, and successfully won the knockout round of the Champions League quarter-finals tickets.

After the game, many Tottenham Hotspur players received rave reviews, especially Vidal, the main midfielder, who was named and praised by Ye Qiu after the game, thinking that he was the one he saw One of the most well-rounded and best midfielders who have ever been there, but he also said that Vidal still has a lot of potential to be tapped.

At the age of 24, this is not playing FM Football Manager. Vidal is currently very good in both offense and defense, both physically and technically. What he needs to further improve is awareness.

It should be said that the Chilean already has the foundation to become a top midfielder, the key depends on his next progress.

But after eliminating Naples by a big score, Tottenham Hotspur was a guest at Goodison Park three days later, and they were beaten 1:1 by Moyes' Everton in an away game.

Moyes grinned from ear to ear after scoring a point, because they were behind in the first half and equalized in the second half, so he expressed his satisfaction with the team's tenacious fighting spirit, but he also politely said, Tottenham Hotspur has been fighting on multiple fronts for a long time, and the rotation is relatively strong, so this draw can't explain the problem.

But Manchester City won and Tottenham drew with Tottenham, reducing their lead to six points, two games to go, and ten games to go in the Premier League, so anything could happen.

Ye Qiu expressed helplessness for the sixth tie this season, but he firmly believed that the team would continue to move forward.

Because of the FA Cup on the weekend, the No.20 Premier League No.1 nine rounds were adjusted to the middle of the week. Tottenham Hotspur defeated Stoke City 0-901 at home with the goal of Messi who came off the bench. , this goal was scored in the No.[-] minute, which shows that this game was also played very difficult.

After this game, the outside world's remarks about when Tottenham will lose are once again clamoring. After all, after entering March, with the restart of the Champions League, Tottenham's multi-line Combat and the team's lack of rest time, the players' state and physical fitness are also in trouble.

In this case, how long can Tottenham Hotspur last?

But regardless of what the outside world thinks, the draw ceremony for the Champions League quarter-finals knockout round was also held on time at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

Tottenham Hotspur, as the only remaining team in the Premier League and the only team that has reached the knockout stage, has always been highly anticipated and valued by the Premier League teams, but with Tottenham Hotspur in trouble, can it still afford This kind of expectation of the fans has become a big doubt.

Judging from the results of the lottery, Tottenham Hotspur can be said to be a house leak and it rains all night!
