My name is Colani
Chapter 800: Battle against Tottenham 3
Ten minutes later, Spurs created two shots. Generally speaking, Spurs' tactics were very clear, with long passes and lobs, and they dared to invest in counterattacks, especially Lennon and Bale on the two wings, who dared to use their speed to attack Trapani's two sides of the defense and then pass the ball.
Or they wanted to use Crouch as the fulcrum in the frontcourt, and Jenas could quickly follow up, pass the ball quickly, and create killing opportunities.
But Trapani created more threats than them. Spurs' fighting spirit and tenacity were commendable, but their tactics were too simple. They just attacked from the sidelines, or relied on Crouch's high point. Their tactics actually required luck and confusion. Of course, their attack itself was to create confusion, but unfortunately the Trapani defense they encountered today had not made any mistakes so far.
In the previous stage of the game, Trapani's defense received a lot of criticism, which was even worse than that of Bielsa. The calm Barzagli also made mistakes. In addition, Wenger's impactful style of play was actually a test for Trapani's defense, because he needed Trapani's entire team to be able to defend quickly.
The speed problem on the court is the key issue of offense and defense conversion. Generally speaking, it seems that Wenger has not made much progress in the team's transformation, but in fact, even a two- or three-second speed increase will have a great impact on the team's offense and defense conversion. The back line often faces the challenge of the opponent, and there are more direct dialogues. How can there be no mistakes? !
During Bielsa's time, control was gradually emphasized. Control was needed when appropriate, and the number of passes to the backcourt was also increasing. But when Wenger came, his style came too. He began to emphasize passes with strong penetration. This kind of pass has a high return rate and naturally has a high risk. Trapani players have always been trained to pass. The players' passing ability is still very good, but even so, the risk of penetrating passes is still very high, so Trapani can create opportunities and give opponents opportunities.
So Trapani really needs to adapt to this style.
Boateng is the main force in defending Crouch. Crouch is more than two meters tall and has an innate advantage. Boateng's attention today is very focused. It cannot be said that he has an absolute advantage in the header with Crouch, but at least the interference is very good. Crouch's header was very reluctant.
…
Tottenham gradually became a little out of touch. Their technique was a little rough. In the 11th minute, Cazorla retreated to receive the ball, pulled the ball and changed direction in one go, shook off Sandro, and sent a through ball. Suarez started to shake off Gallas, and Gomez attacked and tackled Suarez. Gomez's tackle was very big and directly hit Suarez's ankle.
Brüch directly gave Gomez a red card and awarded Trapani a penalty.
The situation on the field was too sudden. After all, Tottenham is a Premier League team. Sometimes they are very active in defense and their moves are also very big. Sandro's rash tackle just now caused serious consequences, and Gomez made another dangerous move immediately.
Tottenham players were very dissatisfied with the red card. They even wanted to pull Suarez who was holding his ankle. Suarez had a bad reputation, especially in the World Cup. At this moment, even though some Tottenham players saw Gomez's big move, they still wanted to grab Suarez to gain sympathy.
But Suarez was really injured. Trapani's players were very angry. The two sides almost broke out into a large-scale conflict. Huddlestone and Cazorla each played fifty boards, and they were calmed down after being shown a yellow card by Brüch.
Gomez was replaced by Italian goalkeeper Cudicini. Suarez obviously couldn't hold on and was carried out of the field on a stretcher. Wenger had to replace Suarez with Aguero.
Messi scored a penalty kick and Trapani took the lead at home. The fans at the Google Stadium excitedly sang Messi's song. The situation was very good for Trapani. They were leading at home, and the visiting team was one man short. This advantage was obvious.
In the box, Hugo and Angelo applauded Messi's goal. Angelo was very happy and kept shouting that he would beat Tottenham to a pulp.
The newcomers in the Champions League may show a kind of instability in the Champions League. After being hit, they may fall into a slump. Tottenham once again proved the accuracy of this experience today. Gomez was sent off, and Ray could only withdraw Jenas, retaining the two wings, and the formation became 441. The impact of less people in the midfield is huge, and of course the greater impact comes from the psychological aspect. Only two minutes later, Messi drove straight into the penalty area, hit the wall with Aguero, and then broke into the penalty area and shot low into the far corner again. Trapani immediately gained a two-goal advantage.
At this time, the game was actually less than 15 minutes, and Tottenham felt like they were beaten and their morale was low.
The first half basically continued this situation. Trapani attacked strongly, and Tottenham defended hard, but Trapani created opportunities again and again. Tottenham was in danger in front of the goal. Old Ray probably broke out in cold sweats several times on the sidelines.
Tottenham couldn't play any decent offensive at all. Bale and Lennon were exhausted from defending, so there was no chance for them to play fast.
At the end of the first half, Cavani took advantage of the corner kick opportunity and scored again in the penalty area. Trapani took a 3:0 lead in the first half. The home team fans were jubilant. Everything on the court was wonderful. The offense was sharp and the defense was not tested at all.
The away team's Tottenham fans came all the way from the British Isles to Sicily. They wanted the team to play with the momentum of the Premier League. They didn't expect the team to be so vulnerable. Everyone looked ashen. There were also fans who cursed everything loudly. Even the most optimistic fans would not have hope for the result of the whole game.
The halftime ended, and the Tottenham players returned to the locker room dejectedly. Old Ray scolded them.
"You bastards, what did you show me?! Chaos, timidity, cowardice! Your performance is like a pile of shit, I am ashamed of you!"
No one refuted Lao Lei's words. Lao Lei is a serious old man who has been in the English football world for many years. His son Xiao Lei played for Liverpool, and his nephew Lampard is the soul of Chelsea. Lao Lei himself has coached many teams. None of these Tottenham players are superstars. Even Robbie Keane can only bear Lao Lei's saliva honestly.
Lao Lei is not Wenger. Wenger almost never gets angry with his players. The mistakes made by the players on the court are more likely to be forgiven and comforted by Wenger, rather than scolded, and will not be completely cold.
But from Lao Lei's perspective today, he really has no choice but to provoke him. He can't find a better way to re-inspire the fighting spirit of these players. The team can no longer face the enemy in this way in the second half. If it goes on like that, it will only die more miserably.
There are no tactical arrangements or other actions. Lao Lei left the rest of the rest time to the Tottenham players themselves.
Hugo didn't know what the Tottenham dressing room looked like. He was in a good mood and finally went to meet Platini and others with his son Angelo.
Levy's face was so embarrassed. It was really embarrassing that his team was messed up like this. Fortunately, Hugo didn't ridicule him. After saying hello, Levy was depressed and stayed away from Hugo.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Platini!" Hugo shook hands with Platini enthusiastically. In a good mood, Platini didn't look so hateful.
Of course, Platini didn't bother Hugo.
Platini didn't come here on his own this time, but was invited by Morek, which was equivalent to part of the hype.
"Hello, Gigi! I haven't seen you for a long time! You are so low-key now!" Platini joked.
