The Godfather of Football

Speaking of Alan Pardew, perhaps many people don't know him, but Ye Qiu is impressed by him, because in the eyes of many senior Premier League fans, he can be said to be a relegation expert. Even though he showed some signs of success in Newcastle later, in the mainstream view of the Premier League, he is a coach who looks better on the sidelines than on the field.

Why do you say that? Because he is recognized as the most handsome coach in England.

A straight suit, a shirt and tie, neatly combed blond hair, just missing a pair of glasses, otherwise he looks a bit like a young version of Lippi, but if you study his coaching resume carefully, you will find that this person is too unreliable.

There is nothing worth mentioning about his career. His coaching career started in the third-level English League Two at that time. He led the Reading team. It took three years to lead Reading from the English League Two to the English League One. In the beginning of the English League One, he played very well and was spotted by West Ham United, which was relegated from the Premier League at that time. He took over the team halfway and took two years to lead the team to upgrade.

West Ham United performed very well in the first season after being promoted to the Premier League. Alan Pardew became the most eye-catching rookie coach in England last season. In addition, he is handsome and has a cool sideline. He is very popular and has the potential to be the best coach in England in the future. However, this season, he has created the worst start in the history of West Ham United.

In Ye Qiu's previous life, Alan Pardew was removed by West Ham United in December this season because of his poor performance. Charlton's Curbishley was introduced. As a result, Alan Pardew went to Charlton. Unfortunately, both teams were relegated this season.

This is not a big deal. For such mid- and lower-level teams, promotion and relegation are very common. However, Charlton was relegated after being relegated and was relegated again in the 08/09 season. Although Alan Pardew failed to survive this season and was dismissed halfway through, everyone knows that he is the culprit for the team's relegation from the Championship.

It's really strange. After Alan Pardew led Charlton to relegation, Southampton, which was also relegated to the third-level English League, actually invited him to coach. As a result, Charlton, who escaped from Alan Pardew's clutches, was almost promoted, while Southampton had no hope of promotion for the whole season, and Alan Pardew was also fired after the season ended.

So it's strange, that's it. After Alan Pardew was fired from Southampton, he became the fire-fighting head coach of Newcastle, which returned to the Premier League. In the 11/12 season, he even led the team to the fifth place in the league, and he himself became the Premier League's best head coach of the year, which was a great turnaround.

However, the second season of coaching the Magpies was not good. Newcastle was almost relegated from the Premier League, and this has always been Alan Pardew's most serious problem, that is, too much ups and downs.

In fact, looking at all the teams coached by Alan Pardew, it is difficult to point out their advantages. In terms of offense, their offense is not strong, and in terms of defense, their defense is not solid. Of course, neither offense nor defense can be considered bad, otherwise they would not have such a report card.

Ye Qiu did not have much interaction with Alan Pardew, but just before the game between Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United, Alan Pardew commented on Tottenham Hotspur in the media and pointed out the current problems of Tottenham Hotspur.

He said that the biggest problem of Tottenham Hotspur this season is that the rhythm is not strong, which makes the team's offense lack a strong threat, and the players lack tacit understanding of the tactical routines, and the head coach did not give effective guidance and guidance, and the coaching staff lacked tactical preparation.

In terms of defense, they rely more on the players' on-the-spot performance and fail to build an effective defense system. So when they play well, they can effectively stop the opponent and the frontcourt offense can also be threatening. When they play poorly, they basically lose goals. Therefore, Tottenham Hotspur has lost a lot of goals this season and the results are not ideal.

Finally, he also mentioned that West Ham United is very confident that they can beat Tottenham Hotspur in this game and get out of the relegation zone.

He also supports the management's pressure on the London City Government and the Olympic Preparatory Committee, believing that the London Olympic Stadium is located in East London and should belong to West Ham United. Tottenham Hotspur is in North London, and they should not hand over the stadium in East London to the North London team just because they have money to support the construction work.

He even said that he would beat Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane to prove his team!

When the reporter conveyed Alan Pardew's words to Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu only laughed and did not respond. But when he turned around, in the locker room before the game against West Ham United, Ye Qiu played the video of Alan Pardew's media interview to the players before the game, and then pointed at the English hunk in the video.

"I'm very curious, when did our Tottenham Hotspur fall to the point where he needed us to instruct us? When did our Tottenham Hotspur fall to the point where even such a person and such a team wanted to step on our heads and pee? And when did you guys get described as just individuals, not a whole, and a waste without any threat?"

Ye Qiu sneered and shook his head, "I don't know why Mr. Alan Pardew thinks he is qualified to give me some advice on how to improve my tactics, and I don't know what you think after listening to his words. For me, I only have one idea, to kill him!"

"He said we didn't play with integrity, so let's show our integrity and beat his West Ham United into a sieve to see what integrity he has? He said our frontcourt attack is not threatening, so let's use our attack to destroy their defense and see whether their West Ham United's defense is solid with integrity or our Tottenham Hotspur's attack is sharp and non-threatening!"

"Wow!!" After hearing Ye Qiu's words, the players shouted one by one, looking very excited.

This does not need to be too passionate or too passionate, because Tottenham Hotspur is now ranked at least 15th, while West Ham United is ranked 19th. What qualifications does the latter have to evaluate the former?

"He said a lot, I counted it, a total of five big points, one goal for each point, remember it!"

Alan Pardew put his hands in his suit belt, standing on the sidelines, waiting for the game to start.

From the image point of view, he is a perfect British gentleman, and he also arranged his strongest lineup for this game, including Tevez on the front line, and he is also ambitious for this game.

Tottenham Hotspur's recent situation is indeed very bad. After Ye Qiu took over the team, Tottenham's performance has been getting worse and worse. Now criticizing Tottenham Hotspur and Ye Qiu in the media seems to have become a trend, and many people do so, so he also took advantage of the situation before the game, hoping to take this opportunity to hit Tottenham Hotspur's spirit.

But what he didn't expect was that Tottenham Hotspur's start gave West Ham United a wake-up call.

Just 17 seconds after the start, Argentine teenager Leo Messi suddenly turned inside after a quick dribbling breakthrough on the right, and passed the ball behind him. Van Nistelrooy inserted and shot directly. The ball was only a little distance away from the goal frame, almost brushing the post.

Two minutes later, Van Nistelrooy passed the ball, Messi cut diagonally into the penalty area on the right, and shot with his left foot, which was slightly off.

Three minutes later, Ribery made a quick breakthrough on the left and crossed the ball. Van Nistelrooy headed the ball in the penalty area, but the ball was saved by the goalkeeper.

Tottenham Hotspur started the game with a fierce attack, which is also the consistent style of Tottenham Hotspur towards some mid- and lower-level teams. Many people call this behavior bullying the weak and fearing the strong. They will ravage weak teams and be ravaged by strong teams.

Of course, sometimes Tottenham Hotspur's offense is difficult to achieve results, which is also the reason for Tottenham's poor performance this season.

So when seeing Tottenham Hotspur's fierce attack, Alan Pardew walked to the sidelines and signaled the players on the field with a very commanding spirit that they should stay calm and survive this offensive period. As long as they survive, Tottenham Hotspur will be finished, and West Ham United will be able to launch a counterattack.

But just as Alan Pardew finished speaking, he saw Tottenham Hotspur launch an attack. Vargas quickly inserted from the left, received the pass from Mascherano, and passed it to Ribery who was running inside from the left. The Frenchman knocked the ball back and rushed forward quickly. Vargas also knocked the ball back after getting the ball, and the two formed a continuous two-on-one cooperation on the left.

Ribery got the ball in the penalty area, stopped suddenly, changed the ball to his right foot, and pushed the ball forward with his right foot. The ball immediately rolled forward, and the West Ham United central defender was directly stunned. Ribery quickly inserted and kicked a ground ball with his left foot, which went straight into the bottom of the goal net, 1:0!

Scarface rushed out of the court excitedly after scoring the goal. Amid the shouts of all Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stadium, he kept waving his arms, indicating that Tottenham Hotspur fans should be more passionate.

"Today, the Tottenham players look very excited!" Even the commentator on the scene could see it.

Alan Pardew was frightened by the first goal, but he thought it was just an accident, so he immediately adjusted the team and intended to strengthen the defense, but soon, Tottenham launched another attack.

Alves quickly moved forward and participated in the frontcourt attack. Fabregas passed the ball to the right. The Brazilian full-back stopped the ball close to the right line, made a fake move, and waited for Messi to quickly insert the ball, and then gently lifted the ball.

Messi leaned against the West Ham United central defender, turned sideways to the right, facing Alves's ball, and stopped directly in front of himself with his chest. After landing, he quickly inserted it to form an offside position, but the position was not good. Although he entered the penalty area, he did not get a chance to kick. He made an emergency stop and passed the ball to the middle with his left foot. Van Nistelrooy inserted it from behind and gently pushed the ball into the net by rubbing the post.

This time, it was not off! !

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"

The commentator was shouting like crazy, "In just less than three minutes, only 10 minutes after the kick-off, Tottenham Hotspur took a 2:0 lead at White Hart Lane!"

"Oh my god, Tottenham Hotspur played like crazy today. The team was obviously in excellent form. West Ham United couldn't keep up with Tottenham Hotspur's rhythm at all. Is this still the attack without any threat as Alan Pardew said before the game?"

The commentator didn't forget to mock the opponent's coach, "Maybe it depends on the person. If it's against some top teams with outstanding defensive capabilities, Tottenham Hotspur's offense is indeed a little lacking in threat, but against a team that is deep in the relegation zone and has poor defensive capabilities, Tottenham Hotspur's offense is the biggest threat!"

The fans of the entire White Hart Lane Stadium were obviously infected by the two goals scored shortly after the start of the game, as well as the wave of offensives led by Tottenham Hotspur. The atmosphere was instantly ignited, and all the fans cheered and cheered at the top of their lungs.

Alan Pardew could no longer put his hands in his pockets at this time. He stood on the sidelines and waved his arms constantly, excitedly directing the team. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with the team's defense being too loose, especially the defense of the two flanks of the team.

Ye Qiu was sitting in the coaching seat of the home team. He leaned out of his head and saw Alan Pardew's appearance. He smiled from ear to ear. He turned his head and looked at Mauro Tassotti, "Mauro, tell me, whose defense has no system?"

Mauro Tassotti smiled from ear to ear. This guy is too vindictive.

On the contrary, Roland on the side was more in line with Ye Qiu's taste, and he immediately took over the conversation, "With such a bad defense, you only scored two goals, proving that he was right, your offense is completely threatening!"

The fat man's serious expression, combined with his funny tone, was simply the biggest laugh.

Alan Pardew wanted to organize an effective defense immediately, especially on the wing, but it was obvious that for the wing offense and defense that focused more on one-on-one ability, Tottenham's wing was not afraid of any team, including Chelsea.

Even though Tottenham's performance so far this season has been poor, one of the important things Ye Qiu has always insisted on is that the team's wing plays very actively, and what is lacking is an effective means to transfer the wing to the middle.

Therefore, in this game, Ye Qiu let Ribery and Messi move closer to the middle, and let Vargas and Alves join in the attack. Against strong teams, such a tactical style is indeed very dangerous and easy to be counterattacked, especially for a team like Chelsea. But Ye Qiu really doesn't think West Ham United has any means of counterattack.

In the 29th minute, Tottenham Hotspur launched another round of offensive. Messi broke through with the ball on the right, but was cleared out of the baseline by the opponent's central defender, and got a corner kick opportunity. Alves stepped up to take the penalty kick on Tottenham Hotspur's side.

This also made Ye Qiu sigh with emotion on the sidelines, because such a big team did not have a master of set-pieces, so Tottenham Hotspur's set-piece attack has always been bad, wasting a large body like Hangeland in vain.

Perhaps Alves also felt that the ball into the penalty area was not too threatening, so he passed it directly to Messi, forming a tactical corner kick. Messi quickly knocked it back, and Alves, who ran to the on-side position, directly kicked a cross. Hangeland in the penalty area jumped up like a scallion in a dry land and headed the ball into the goal of West Ham United, 3:0!

With Hangeland's height and his body shape, as long as your cross can accurately reach his head, it can be said that it is almost difficult to stop him from scoring with a header, because this guy's height of 1.95 meters and weight of 85 kilograms are not for show, and the deterrent power standing in the opponent's penalty area is really no joke.

After leading by three goals, Tottenham Hotspur became more and more excited, the Tottenham fans in the stands became more and more enthusiastic, the shouts became louder and louder, and the players' performance on the court became more and more powerful.

Less than five minutes after Hangeland scored, Ribery and Vargas formed a cooperation on the left, and Ribery cut into the penalty area. After getting the ball, he quickly broke through and passed it to the back point. Messi quickly inserted and shot directly in the air without waiting for the ball to land. The ball went straight into the bottom of the net.

In this way, Tottenham Hotspur returned to the locker room with a score of 4:0 in the first half, while West Ham United walked into the player tunnel with a lack of interest like a defeated rooster. Alan Pardew was even more helpless, because he didn't know why Tottenham Hotspur was like a chicken blood tonight?

But he obviously didn't know more than that. At least he didn't know how to curb Tottenham Hotspur's attack.

After he made adjustments in the second half, he intended to strengthen the wing defense, but Ye Qiu signaled Fabregas and Davis to move forward to participate in the attack. The Dutch wild boar might be drowned in Chelsea's muscle jungle, but West Ham United couldn't imprison him yet.

In the 53rd minute, Davis made a cross pass at the front of the penalty area, which was passed to Fabregas who was not guarded. The Spaniard did not think much, and after entering the penalty area, he kicked the ball near the penalty spot, and the ball went into the bottom of the net again, 5:0!

Up to now, Alan Pardew and West Ham United have obviously lost their will to resist. They have been completely destroyed. The only thought is to stop Tottenham Hotspur from scoring more goals, so that the game can be lost less ugly.

Ye Qiu quickly replaced Davis with Arshavin, changed the team's tactical play, let Arshavin play as a front midfielder, Fabregas's position retreated appropriately, echoing Mascherano, which looked like a 4231 tactic.

Arshavin's appearance gave Tottenham Hotspur an extra ball point in the front midfielder position, but it also brought some discomfort to the team, especially the two wingers who wanted to continue to cut inside, resulting in frequent own goal runs with Arshavin and Van Nistelrooy. Later, Ye Qiu made adjustments and the situation improved.

He then replaced Messi with Gareth Bale, let Ribery play as right winger, Bale play as left winger, and Van Persie replaced Van Nistelrooy. All three substitutions showed obvious intentions to adjust tactics.

Ribery was undoubtedly the team's best player in this game. He broke through on the right in the 83rd minute and passed the ball into the penalty area. Van Persie didn't get a chance to kick the ball back in the penalty area. Arshavin inserted a low shot and hit it again, expanding the score for Tottenham Hotspur to 6:0!

Gareth Bale, a Welsh teenager who used to play as a left back in Southampton, was obviously not used to the position of left winger. Although he was very fast and had a solid technical foundation, he was not delicate enough. He had a strong desire to play, but his performance was not outstanding, so there was nothing impressive.

However, Ye Qiu didn't care. He liked to disgust his opponents, so when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, he walked to the visiting team's coaching bench and blocked Alan Pardew. After shaking hands, this smiling guy asked a disgusting question, "Excuse me, Mr. Alan Pardew, is our attack threatening?"
