Coaching career started as a college team coach

The transfer of Ruben Dias was put aside.

On the one hand, it was because Wolves did not have more information. Now Wei Le and others could not do anything, and it was not easy to ask Ruben Dias directly.

On the other hand, Wolves did not have a winter break. Although the transfer was annoying, the more important thing was that there were still games going on.

After the game with Liverpool on the 6th, Wolves' next game was 8 days later, and the opponent to be played was Tottenham.

This game was very important.

It was directly related to Wolves' competition for the top four.

Wolves are now ranked fifth in the league, temporarily 3 points behind Liverpool, ranked fourth, and 2 points ahead of Tottenham, ranked sixth.

If this game is won, Wolves will be able to widen the points gap with Tottenham, further maintain, or even catch up with Liverpool.

If this game is not won and lost to the opponent, then Tottenham will be able to directly overtake Wolves, and Wolves will then fall directly outside the Europa League zone and have no cup games to play.

This game cannot be lost, and it cannot be lost.

Although Wei Le is particularly concerned about Ruben Dias, he must also tell himself that he is the head coach of a team, not just Ruben Dias.

What he should pay more attention to is the development of the team, not the stay or departure of a player.

Although this makes him feel very uncomfortable.

But he behaved normally in training, without revealing any abnormal emotions, just completing the established arrangements step by step, and joking with the players normally.

And the storm is brewing in the Premier League now.

In this round of the league, Tottenham's home game against Wolves has become the most watched game. Everyone wants to see what the result will be when this team, known as the "youngest youth storm", faces Pochettino's unpredictable white army.

A few days before the game, Wembley Stadium posted a sold-out notice, and it is said that fans from both sides will fill the largest professional football stadium in Europe.

The gunpowder smell before the war became stronger. First, Eriksson, the core midfielder of Tottenham, directly stated that the Wolves' defense line could not pose any threat to Tottenham.

Of course, the Wolves could not stand it. Jota, an Internet-addicted teenager, directly responded to Eriksson that he was not very capable, but he was quite talkative. When the Tottenham players heard Jota's counterattack, they became anxious.

Central defender Vertonghen responded dissatisfiedly that he should think of a way to return to the court as soon as possible. Yes, Jota still has not completed his recovery in this game. As early as five or six days before the start of the game, it was confirmed that he could not enter the game's roster.

When reporters found other Wolves players to ask for their opinions, their answers were unanimous.

That is, the result will be seen during the game.

Although the Wolves lost Jota's offensive firepower, Tottenham's loss was greater. At this time, they lost Alderfried, an excellent central defender, and the absence of midfielder Winks and full-back Danny Rose also made Tottenham have to consider more when arranging the lineup.

Pochettino is undoubtedly capable.

Judging from the results in the Premier League in the 16-17 season, Tottenham was probably at the peak of this period. In 38 league games, they won 26 games, drew 8 games and lost 4 games, and scored 86 points, ranking second, second only to Chelsea under Conte. They scored 86 goals and conceded only 26 goals, both of which were the best in the Premier League.

The average age of the starting lineup was 25.3 years old, the youngest among all teams. Of course, this data was broken by the Wolves with an average age of 22.8 this season.

Let's look at the front four. The 23-year-old Harry Kane scored 29 goals and won the Premier League Golden Boot. The 24-year-old Eriksen ranked second in the assists list with 15 assists, second only to De Bruyne. The 20-year-old Dele Alli scored 18 goals and 7 assists, and the 24-year-old Son Heung-min scored 14 goals and 6 assists.

This is the youth storm of Tottenham under Uncle Pochettino. The excitement and pleasure that could be felt when watching that team play football back then are believed to be unforgettable to many fans.

The collision of the youth storms of the two generations has also become the highlight of this game.

Fans of both sides have exploded on the Internet, and in China, such debates are particularly fierce. But in addition to pure emotional catharsis, there are still some voices that make sense.

For example, Cai Huiqiang, the reserve team coach of Shanghai Port, talked about his own views when communicating with Wei Le in private.

"Although I am an Arsenal fan, I really have to admit that Tottenham is really strong now." Cai Huiqiang couldn't help but admire when talking about Tottenham, "You should know how smart their offense is."In my opinion, the four players in Tottenham's frontcourt are the core of their offense, Ali, Son Heung-min, Harry Kane and Eriksen. The four of them have very distinct characteristics and can complement each other." "The four of them are very outstanding in dribbling and running without the ball. In a relatively small space, they can also cooperate with each other to create opportunities. This is of course the most obvious advantage." Pochettino's most commonly used formation in the 16-17 season was 4-2-3-1, but he is not the kind of coach who uses one formation to the end. He has also used 4-3-3 and 4-1-4-1. But what is more surprising is that he has also used a formation with three central defenders! Yes, he used a formation with three central defenders in 11 games, including 3-4-2-1 and 3-5-2. Cai Huiqiang believes that these two styles of play are largely borrowed from Conte's Chelsea. But at the same time, he also has his own thoughts.

He made full use of the advantage of the front four in running without the ball, allowing them to change formations flexibly. This also reflects another feature of modern football, that is, the flexibility of formation changes.

A set of 4-2-3-1, let Ali go forward as a shadow striker, and play as a center forward side by side with Kane. At the same time, Son Heung-min and Eriksen are pulled to the sides, forming a stable 4-4-2.

Based on this, if Ali and Dembele, who is pressing forward alone, share the midfield area, it will be a 4-1-4-1. If Dell On the field, Dell, who has a wide defensive range, can also play as a central defender, allowing the two side defenders to advance unscrupulously.

At the same time, the four players in the front court are inward, leaving the wing to the two side defenders, which forms a 3-5-2 or 3-4-2-1.

Behind the flexible formation is the tactical style and tactical play that is carried out throughout. And Pochettino's Tottenham Hotspur attaches the most importance to high-position pressure after losing the ball and the comprehensive use of each player.

Offensive ball control, combined with high-intensity frontcourt pressure, coupled with the unpredictable team formation and player position in the game, these are all famous labels on Coach Xiaobo. Whether in the front or backcourt, every player can take care of both offensive and defensive responsibilities, are good at organization and breakthrough, and are all versatile players who can take on different responsibilities.

After listening to Cai Huiqiang's words, Wei Le nodded frequently to express his agreement.

"To be honest, since you are not doing commentary now, you can run a video account yourself, just like those foreign bloggers, mainly talking about things behind the court. ”

“You are a football practitioner. You look at football from a different angle than football fans, which is what everyone is missing now.” Wei Le said, “I see that there are relatively few bloggers in China who do this kind of content. Why don’t you be the first one?”

I have to admit that Cai Huiqiang was persuaded by Wei Le.

“What you said makes sense, but what if no one pays attention to it?”

“It will definitely be popular. Don’t underestimate the fan group in our country!” Wei Le laughed, “I will be the first to pay attention to you then!”

“Okay!”

As soon as he said it, Cai Huiqiang passed the entry test on Bilibili that night. When he entered the account registration page, he hesitated when choosing a user name.

“Aren’t you an Arsenal fan? You can just call it ‘Arsenal Tactical Room’.”

“That won’t work. I still have to do content about your Wolves!”

“Then you can give it a more obscure name.” Wei Le thought for a while, “You might as well call it ‘Islington Tactical Room’. ”

Arsenal Football Club is located in Islington. This name directly explains the "identity" of this user, and it is not too obvious. After all, "Islington" is just a place name like "Woolfhampton".

"Okay, great, then call it "Islington Tactical Room"!" Cai Huiqiang said half-jokingly, "The first video of Islington Tactical Room is about Wolves. Is this appropriate?"

"It's easy. If you make a video about Wolves, you can add a bracket to the video title and write "(Woolfhampton Tactical Room)", isn't it? "

"Oh, okay!" Cai Huiqiang scratched his head, "Then I'll go make a video!"

"I want to be the first to see it when it's done."

"Of course!"
