The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 781 How much did Cavani sell for?

"The most suitable candidate to replace Pirlo is Matic!"

Ye Qiu spoke loudly of his judgment in the coaching staff meeting room. He thought that no one would object to his judgment because it was the truth.

"On Matic, whether we arrange Vidal, Ramsey, Phil Jones or Pogba, we can form a partner with him. We can play three midfielders, but at the same time we can also play double midfielders. These are completely not a problem!"

In fact, as early as when Ye Qiu persuaded Southampton to introduce Matic, he had an idea. He wanted to see how Matic could perform. In fact, last season in Southampton, Nick ? The reason why Powell was able to press up and attack was precisely because Matic was behind him.

Let me ask, if Matic is not stable and firm enough behind him, Nick Powell has to drag back to help organize and defend, so how can he have time and energy to press forward?Can also become the second Matthew Le Tissier?

"Matic has some advantages of a modern midfielder, tall and strong, fine technique, excellent overall view and ability to read the game, wide passing vision, delicate short pass, medium and long pass accuracy, especially his amazing running ability .”

You know, in the Premier League last season, Matic's running ability has always been quite good. Although his speed does not seem to be fast, and his explosive power is not strong enough, but he averaged more than [-] kilometers per game , Even close to thirteen kilometers, this is undoubtedly a very important part of his embedding in Tottenham Hotspur's tactical system.

But what satisfied Ye Qiu and Mauro Tassotti most about him was his strong sense of responsibility and tactical accomplishment.

If you carefully observe Matic's performance on the court, you will find that he is observing and moving all the time. Even if your eyes don't follow the ball, but stare at Matic, you will I found that he has only one thought in his mind, that is how to play the game better, how to move to support his teammates when attacking, and how to seize the best position when defending.

This is a high sense of responsibility and tactical literacy, and the concentration and concentration of the game are very strong, so he is stable and reassuring.

"I even think that in some dominant and offensive games, we can completely equip a double defensive midfielder, add an attacker in front, play 4231, let Matic be in a left-back position, and then play Next to him is a player who can play both offensively and defensively, such as Vidal and Ramsey, or even Phil Jones."

The 4231 mentioned by Ye Qiu is actually to arrange Messi in the midfielder position in the middle, so that another winger can be added, thus forming an offensive formation of four attackers in the frontcourt, with Messi in charge of connecting The ball is played in the backcourt and the frontcourt, Lewandowski holds the ball in the frontcourt, and Ribery and another winger respond on the left and right wings.

"If Messi is pulled into the front midfielder, will it lead to conflicts between him and Lewandowski?" Roland was a little worried about this, because in the past Messi played the front midfielder without a center forward. Go straight to the frontless tactics, and in the first half of the Champions League final, when Messi played the midfielder, Cavani didn't have much room to play in front.

"This is a misunderstanding!" Ye Qiu faced Roland's worries with a smile. In fact, he didn't mind if someone questioned his tactics, because he believed that such doubts could sometimes better improve the team.

"Let me give you an example. Dortmund's frontcourt is a combination of Gotze and Lewandowski. Is there a problem?"

In fact, when arranging the responsibilities and tasks of players on the football field, a very important consideration is interaction.

Just like Messi and Lewandowski, many people think that once Messi moves to the middle, there will be a conflict with Lewandowski. Ye Qiu has always found this idea very strange, because Messi The most threatening area in the West is to get the ball in the middle of the frontcourt. The most threatening area is the front of the penalty area, but you can also retreat to get the ball. Lewandowski should appear more in the penalty area at this time. There should be no conflict between these two players.

In the past, when we had the traditional No. [-] attacking midfielder, there were often two center forwards in front of the attacking midfielder. Will they conflict?

One of the most important reasons why there are positional conflicts on the court is the lack of interaction. If you can’t interact with your teammates according to the actions of your teammates, then conflicts will definitely occur.

It's as if you have seen that Messi is about to break through with the ball, and you keep rushing into the penalty area, even a winger will conflict with Messi.

Messi plays in the middle, more like an organizational offensive player. He retreats in series, pulls to the side to support, and personally dribbles and breaks through to ensure that Tottenham Hotspur can play a threatening offense in the frontcourt. And provide the team with a stable point of exit to ensure a faster and more threatening frontcourt pass.

This is definitely a nightmare for defensive players!
Just like in the first half of the UEFA Champions League final, when the ball was on the left, Messi went to the left, forming a numerical advantage on the left in a short period of time, playing a threat, when the ball went to the right, Messi went to the right, and the ball was caught When the backcourt could not come out, Messi would retreat, and once the ball reached Lewandowski's feet, Messi would go forward.

If it is said that Lewandowski is the arrow and the two wingers are the two wings, forming three routes from the left, center and right to attack the opponent's goal, then Messi is the booster behind this rocket.

In Ye Qiu's previous life, the reason why the Swedish center was incompatible with Messi after Barcelona introduced Zlatan Ibrahimovic was actually because the two players had problems in frequency and interaction. Everyone needs to hold the ball to play a tactical role. In the case of insufficient interaction, the effect will be greatly reduced.

Fans who really understand Barcelona during that period will feel that Zlatan Ibrahimovic's performance is not bad, it's just incompatible. In the later stage, it has improved a lot, but Barcelona did not play well due to various reasons. Give him more time to run in and adjust.

But many people think that it is unrealistic for Messi to conflict with the center forward!

Lewandowski seems to be a very complete frontcourt arrow center puzzle. Unlike Zlatan Ibrahimovic, he can play tactical value without too much possession of the ball, and he himself does not Good at taking too much of the ball, handles the ball very cleanly, and is very calm.

There is also a very favorable factor. Lewandowski is at the front, Messi is in the center, and Matic is behind. All three players can hold the ball, especially Matic. The transition between offense and defense is reasonable. Stable delivery is his greatest tactical value.

Coupled with Thiago Silva and Kompany behind, as well as goalkeeper Petr Cech, at first glance, Tottenham Hotspur does not have a ball organizer like Pirlo, but in fact, as long as the distribution Well, it's tantamount to dispersing the organization and holding the ball, because each of them can hold the ball and play the ball well.

It's going to be a nightmare for a team trying to squeeze Tottenham's possession and possession, messing up Tottenham's organisation.

As for controlling the rhythm, this is a matter for the whole team. Matic's position in the midfielder is more to provide the team with a calm and rational midfield barrier.

Tottenham Hotspur currently has a very important advantage over other teams, that is, the stability of off-ball running and passing and receiving system, that is to say, Tottenham Hotspur can maintain the three lines The effective distance and providing enough points for the ball holder are Tottenham Hotspur's advantages.

Mourinho's Chelsea encountered a problem last season, that is, they wanted to adopt an oppressive style of play in the frontcourt. This is not a problem in itself.

Neither Terry nor Gary Cahill is the kind of player who can press up. Once they are pressed up, their turning and chasing back will be a big problem. David Luiz also has problems switching to the midfielder. This player is the biggest The biggest problem is that the timing of the attack leads to the unsatisfactory effect of the attack. Once the attack does not achieve the minimum delay effect, the result is the loss of position.

Therefore, Mourinho wants Matic, because he can fill the huge vacuum in the midfield caused by the frontcourt pressing up and the backcourt falling to the maximum. At the same time, he can hold the ball, He can stand his position and provide a stable shot, so Matic is undoubtedly a very suitable candidate for Chelsea.

From a theoretical point of view, Mourinho will use Matic and David Luiz to form a double midfielder. The former will stand in the position, and the latter will provide coverage and attack. Use these two midfielders to fill the frontcourt and press the defense. The midfield vacuum created after settling down.

But it is a pity that this player was taken down by Tottenham Hotspur, which is bound to cause further turmoil in Chelsea's midfield.

The situation of Tottenham Hotspur is different from that of Chelsea. The strategy adopted by Tottenham Hotspur is that after the midfielder presses up, the defense can also press up. There is no lack of ability to grab up, so the distance between the midfielder and the defense is actually not that big.

This can ensure that as long as Matic appears in front of the team's defense line stably, another player can continue to provide support for attacking the front and back, provided that the player's offensive and defensive rate is high.

For another player, Strowman, Ye Qiu and Mauro Tassotti expected him to be the future.

If you watch him play in PSV Eindhoven, you will feel that he is very similar to Scholes, with rhythm control, precise long pass, distribution and scheduling, one kick, wide vision and the ability to score goals from behind. Quite outstanding, and during this period in Eindhoven, partnering with veteran Van Bommel, Strowman's defensive improvement is also quite obvious, but it is not enough.

His main problem now is actually a problem that many Dutch control midfielders have, that is, he lacks the ability to take the ball and get rid of it. His performance will be greatly reduced.

In the final analysis, this is also the weakness that the Dutch all-round midfielder has always had. For example, Van Bommel lacks the ability to get rid of it.

Matic also lacks the ability to get rid of the ball, but he protects the ball well, and the ball is fast and stable. More importantly, he defends very well, his body is strong enough, and he has a strong ability to resist strength. Can also pass the ball out.

Stroman's ability to control the rhythm and pass long and short is quite good, a bit like Carrick, but physical confrontation and defense are weaknesses.

But Ye Qiu has always believed that this player is very malleable. If he is allowed to play an offensive midfielder, after a few years of development, he is likely to become a player with better defensive ability and stronger impact. Sneijder, but the midfield organization ability will gradually degenerate, because now no one will put the organization in the midfield.

If you let him lag behind and further improve his strength confrontation and defensive awareness, it is not difficult with his physical fitness, but as long as he is well-crafted, plus Tottenham Hotspur has Pirlo in the team, he has also been trained before. There is a midfielder like Yaya Toure, so Strowman is very hopeful to become a more comprehensive than Van Bommel, but also a better controlling midfielder.

But this is definitely not something that can be achieved now, especially defense, which requires a period of accumulation and improvement, so from the current point of view, Strowman is not suitable for playing the midfielder position. If he is to play, he will be a central midfielder at best, especially It is a left-sided central midfielder, similar to Ramsey's position last season.

Of course, if you insist on using Strowman in the midfielder, it is not impossible. You have to equip him with a lineup in the midfield, such as providing him with suitable shooting points around him, so that he can find him anytime, anywhere. Stable delivery route, coupled with a midfielder with excellent defensive ability.

Originally, Ye Qiu was not in a hurry to introduce Strowman, but considering that Manchester United and Chelsea were also paying attention to him, and since Matic basically could not escape Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu decided to bring in the Dutch midfielder. The introduction of the field can further hit Manchester United and Chelsea's midfield adjustment plans.

This can be regarded as a kind of arms race between league opponents!
In fact, the day before Tottenham Hotspur's training camp, Ferguson, who represented Manchester United, really came to the door.

…………

"I thought you were holding the baby at home!"

For two or three days in a row, Ye Qiu was discussing with the coaching staff the team's tactical issues for the new season, especially the use of new aid, such as using Matic, what to do when playing 4231, what to do when playing 433, Or how to play with Strowman, and how the team will play if Lewandowski or Messi are absent.

These are very complicated and cumbersome things that require the coaching staff to study and analyze slowly, weigh the pros and cons, and then practice and summarize them on the training ground, and finally present them on the court.

"If you think I still can't let go..." Ferguson curled his lips with an expression of [Sorry, I disappointed you], "...Actually, the main reason is that they all think that Moyes should be given a transition period."

Without this reason, it is estimated that he will let go of all of them.

"Oh, unlucky Moyes!" Ye Qiu shook his head and smiled wryly, but he quickly put on a smiling face and beckoned Ferguson to sit down.

"Sir, why are you free to come to me today?"

Ferguson smiled, "I'm going to have a meeting with the Football Association, and I'll talk to you about two things, one business matter and one private matter."

Ye Qiu didn't say anything, because he knew Ferguson was a talker, so he would go on.

Sure enough, soon, seeing Ye Qiu groaning silently, Ferguson didn't know what to do. Who let him take the initiative to deliver it to his door?

"The main business is to ask, whether Phil Jones and Pogba are for sale?"

After Ye Qiu heard this, he laughed, "If this kind of thing is your old man, do you think it's worth it?"

Ferguson was speechless. In fact, he also knew that it was almost impossible.

Although Phil Jones and Pogba are good, they are still very young and relatively immature. The progress in the past two years has been very obvious, but the problem is that it is basically impossible for Tottenham Hotspur to sell them easily. They are only in their early twenties, and they are too malleable. As long as they are slightly polished, they are the hope of the future. Who wants to sell them?

From the player's point of view, although Matic and Stroman have come this season, Pirlo is old and Sandro is gone. Relatively speaking, although the team's competitive pressure is great, in fact their current progress The momentum is so obvious, and he is from Tottenham Hotspur. He has been here for so many years, and he is regarded as his own youth training. How could he be willing to leave?
Of course, if Manchester United is willing to offer the temptation of high salaries and core main positions, there is hope, but this is impossible.

From the perspective of technical and tactical style, Pogba is not very suitable for Manchester United. On the contrary, Phil Jones is more suitable for Manchester United. However, even if Tottenham Hotspur are willing to sell the price of this local player, it is estimated that they will kill Manchester United severely. a handful.

Thinking of this, Ferguson sighed. In terms of future reserves, Tottenham Hotspur has indeed done a good job.

To say that Ye Qiu's business experience is really shrewd. Back then, he invested in Southampton at a low price. Although outsiders didn't know about it, as an insider, Ferguson knew very well that Southampton is basically Ye Qiu's decision now, and this The current market value of this team is more than ten times that of that year, and he is the youth training base of Tottenham Hotspur.

Just talk about Matic, I'm so envious of that guy Mourinho!

"Haven't you guys taken a fancy to Fellaini recently?" Ye Qiu asked Ferguson with a smile.

Fellaini was Moyes' favorite player when he was at Everton. After Moyes took over Manchester United, one of the two players he wanted to take away was Fellaini, and the other was Leighton Barnes. Evra's class.

Left-back and midfield, this is the weakness of several Premier League teams today. Manchester United and Chelsea are both suffering from headaches. Liverpool has won Ali? The left-back introduced by 22 euros will definitely not be inferior in strength.

What Chelsea want is Luke Shaw, but Tottenham Hotspur can't let go of their left back, and even would rather send Marcelo to Real Madrid than let Luke Shaw go, the player himself It is also unlikely to ask to leave the team.

At least, no matter from which point of view, Tottenham Hotspur are more attractive than Chelsea.

Ferguson smiled wryly when he heard Fellaini. He was not optimistic about the prospect of this player in Manchester United, because what he could get in Everton, he could not get in Manchester United, because Manchester United is Manchester United, and Everton is just Everton.

"There's no business to talk about, let's talk about private matters!" Ferguson sighed, Ye Qiu is just not easy to talk to, especially if you want to take advantage of him, it's almost impossible.

"Tell me, how much did you sell Cavani for, you miser?"
