The Godfather of Football

In the dim room, thick double curtains block the light from the window to the maximum extent, creating a very comfortable bedroom, especially in the cold winter, people are greedy for this warm room and quilt.

Ye Qiu woke up naturally, and the first thing he saw was the ceiling in the dim light.

It was very simple, just a simple pattern outlined with some lines, without any extra decoration, but with a simple beauty, because Ye Qiu always believed that the thrilling beauty is always short-lived, and only simplicity is the most durable beauty.

Just like his wife Huang Chu lying next to him!

In Ye Qiu's memory, it seems that except for the few days when they got married, he has never seen his wife put on makeup and dress up, and even rarely deliberately dress up, but even though she is already in her thirties and the eldest child Huang Rong is already five years old, she is still so beautiful, so moving, and so elegant.

Even when she is just lying next to him and sleeping, she is very charming.

In front of others, Huang Chu is a dignified, elegant, well-educated and virtuous wife and mother, but behind others, especially when the door is closed and there are only two of them, she is a gentle and affectionate little woman, especially when Huang Rong sleeps in a room by herself, and Ye Chen likes to go to sleep with his grandparents, there is always some romantic and absurd interest between the young couple.

But no matter what, in the end, before going to bed, she must hold her husband's hand. In her words, this is the most important thing in her life besides taking good care of the two children.

And every time Ye Qiu moves, she wakes up.

With a light breath, Huang Chu, with a little laziness due to thirst and lack of sleep, directly entangled with Ye Qiu, and slightly coquettishly rested her head on his chest, "Don't move, let me sleep a little longer!" After that, she closed her eyes directly.

Every time he encountered such a situation, Ye Qiu would laugh involuntarily, because he felt that Huang Chu at this moment was really like a child, who needed people to coax, care and cherish.

But this was only in front of him, for a very short period of time.

"What time is the game today?" Huang Chu asked softly after a moment of silence.

Ye Qiu laughed, "16:00 in the afternoon."

"Oh!" Huang Chu was a little disappointed. What she hated most was the games held at noon and in the afternoon, because she had no time at all. "I have an important operation to do in the afternoon, so I can't go to watch, but I will definitely cheer for you!"

"I have already added!" Ye Qiu teased his wife with a laugh.

They are already an old couple, and they are no longer the age when they would blush when they said touching little love words, so Huang Chu's immunity is also very strong now, and he chuckled: "Then... if you win, I will add one more time for you in the evening!"

"What if you lose?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

"Add twice!" Huang Chu also said with a teasing smile.

Ye Qiu rolled his eyes, "No matter how you look at it, I'm the one who suffers the most. This is simply torturing me!"

Huang Chu slapped him on the chest in a bad mood, sat up from the bed, revealing his beautiful upper body, while his lower body was still hidden in the warm quilt, which made Ye Qiu's appetite move, but she guessed the mind of this pervert and ran directly to the bathroom to wash up.

Ye Qiu was helpless about this. He really believed that if a woman really wanted to seduce a man, she didn't need anyone to teach her. She would do it naturally, just like his wife, who used to be a good girl, but now... she has learned bad things!

Walked to the dressing room, put on clothes, and then walked to the bathroom. As usual, Huang Chu came out after washing up and was ready to go to the dressing room to change clothes, while Ye Qiu went into the bathroom to wash up.

Over the past few years, the couple has developed a set of tacit understandings of life. In many cases, they only need a glance or an expression to understand each other's intentions.

Ye Qiu's family believes in going to bed early and getting up early. Because Huang Rong is already in school, they usually go to bed early and get up early in the morning except for the competition at night. Ye Qiu and Huang Chu both work in the type of jobs that require good energy and adequate sleep, so their family's living habits have always been very good.

Parents set an example, so that the two children's living habits have always been very good.

After washing and changing clothes, Huang Chu went downstairs to prepare breakfast, and Ye Qiu went to his daughter's room. He only needed to look at the door a few times and heard his daughter say come in. Then Ye Qiu only needed to open the door and stand at the door to watch his daughter get up, and then he could rest assured. If he didn't watch her get up like this, the little girl would often stay for a while secretly.

"Don't you trust me, Dad?" Every time Huang Rong saw Ye Qiu leaning against the door, she would blame her father, who didn't trust her to overcome the demon of getting up early, with a coquettish look on her face. Did she always do a bad job?

Ye Qiu always laughed, but he would wait until Huang Rong got up, run to the bathroom, and then close the door and leave.

In addition to her powerful mouth, this little girl is also very smart in life. Although she is only five years old, if we use the calculation method of Ye Qiu's hometown, she is six years old, but she can take care of herself in basic life.

Ye Chen sleeps with his grandparents, and sleeps earlier than Ye Qiu and his family, and wakes up earlier. After all, Ye Qiu's parents and Huang Jinsong and his wife both get up very early, so Ye Chen sometimes runs over and knocks on Ye Qiu's door early in the morning.

This is also because the three villas share a large courtyard, and Ye Qiu's family always adheres to the principle of doing it yourself and does not hire servants, so the people living here are all their own people, and the gate on the side of the courtyard is almost never locked.

After Ye Qiu woke up his daughter, he went to the balcony and saw Ye Chen and his grandfather watering the flowers in the courtyard. However, this little bastard was mostly destructive. When he saw a beautiful flower, he picked it directly. Even if he was stopped by his grandfather, he turned around and took it secretly when his grandfather was not paying attention, which always made Ye Changming very angry.

It's strange to say that the old people just like such lively and naughty kids, so although Ye Qiu's two children are very naughty, and even the two kids often quarrel and cry, the old people still like them very much, and they have to take them with them when doing anything.

"Dad, why is Lily's dad always not at home before the game? But you are at home every day?" While eating breakfast, Huang Rong suddenly thought of a question from Wenger's daughter Lily when she went to Wenger's house yesterday.

After hearing this, Ye Qiu really didn't know how to answer. It was too complicated. "Because dad is more capable!" In the end, he said such an answer very shamelessly.

"Tsk! Just brag!" The little girl looked disdainful.

Nowadays, little girls are particularly precocious, and Huang Rong has a very good relationship with her aunt Eliza. She is smart and clever. At a young age, she has learned all the gestures of Eliza. Don't mention how funny it is.

Tottenham Hotspur has already started to implement the strategy of not concentrating before the game day. Even though today's game is in the afternoon, all the first-team players of Tottenham Hotspur still slept and rested at their homes last night. Everything depends on the players' self-discipline, but they will arrive at Theobald early to gather and have breakfast together.

This is also a requirement of the team, because on the day of the game, diet must be controlled.

"Hurry up and finish your breakfast and go play. Be good, okay?" Ye Qiu watched his daughter and son eat something, then looked at the time. It was almost time, so he was about to leave.

"I know!" Ye Chen was more obedient and agreed, while the little girl just nodded impatiently, as if she was disgusted by Ye Qiu's nagging. Of course, she was not unfriendly to Ye Qiu. She was actually a very sensible child.

Just like not long ago, Ye Qiu's mother Zhang Yuxiu was sick, Ye Qiu and Huang Chu had something else to do, Huang Jinsong and his wife were not at home, and there were not many people at home. Ye Qiu asked Huang Rong to help grandpa take care of grandma. As a result, the little girl brought water and food all day long. She did whatever Ye Changming asked her to do. She was so obedient that grandpa and grandma praised her for loving her.

"Dad, if you lose to Lily's dad, I will be very embarrassed!" Huang Rong did not forget to explain before leaving.

Ye Qiu could only smile bitterly and nodded in agreement. He even thought, do I make you worry so much?

From beginning to end, Huang Chu looked at her husband and two children with a smile. She felt that this was the happiest thing in the world for her, and in order to keep this happiness, she could do anything at any cost!

"Good morning!"

Ye Qiu walked into the restaurant of the Theobald training base, made a gesture as usual, walked to Mauro Tassotti, sat down and greeted him.

"Good morning!" Mauro Tassotti looked up and saw that it was Ye Qiu. He was not surprised. This was also the tacit understanding and experience established by the two people in the past years of cooperation. "Will you go to class today?"

"Something?" Ye Qiu asked.

Tottenham Hotspur invites some experts to Theobald to give lectures about every week. They are mainly about things closely related to football, such as nutrition, psychology, sports science, etc., and these professionals from famous British and even world-renowned universities including Oxford and Cambridge are many authorities in various fields.

These people came to Theobald to give lectures to coaches, players and other subjects. This is also a policy that Ye Qiu has implemented after taking over Tottenham Hotspur in recent years. The purpose is to help everyone in the team better absorb advanced experience and knowledge from the outside world.

For example, psychology is not only useful for coaches and the team's psychological counseling group, but also very useful for players. At least they have some knowledge in this area, so they can adjust themselves better. Moreover, many players have also developed in the direction of professional coaches after their careers. Now learning these things is a kind of self-value.

Usually, such lectures are arranged on Saturdays or Sundays, that is, when the youth team has no training and the first team is preparing for the game or after the game. It will be busier in the middle of the week. After all, the training courses are very intensive, and there are many things to do and preparations. On the contrary, it is more leisurely on the match day.

All the preparations that should be made have been made. Ye Qiu believes that those who are busier on the match day are cramming at the last minute.

Of course, there will be some special exceptions.

The person invited today is an authoritative professor of psychology who teaches at both Oxford and Harvard University. His best field is the cultivation of imagination and insight. He has written many professional books and is widely read in the field of education around the world. It is commendable, especially his philosophy, which has many interesting training methods and ideas starting from the details.

Ye Qiu has always been interested in such courses, and his godfather training system recommended many works and experiences of Professor Harris. He also read a lot and found them very interesting, so he invited him to come to the West. Obould was teaching, not just this week but for the next few weeks.

Mauro Tassotti took out a document from the briefcase next to him, put it on the table, and gently pushed it in front of Ye Qiu, "These are some of my theoretical ideas about the [Wave Attack and Defense System]. In terms of integration and structural ideas, this part only covers the defensive part for the time being, but there are many things in it that actually also cover the offensive part.”

Ye Qiu knew that Mauro Tassotti wanted to read it for him first. After all, this document would become an important teaching material for Tottenham Hotspur's internal coach training in the future. It would systematically Explain the entire Tottenham Hotspur tactical offensive and defensive system to all coaches who enter Theobald's coaching.

Any tactical system that is mature and stable and has been thought of for a long time has its own mature theoretical system, because you want everyone else to understand and be familiar with your tactical system, then you You must first explain to them your intentions and ideas, as well as specific ideas, which requires a whole set of theories.

Many people may think that there is no need to go to so much trouble at all. Can we just get familiar with it directly on the training ground or on the football field?

Wrong, it is the same attack, but everyone has different understanding and understanding of what is reflected in the attack process, because they may look at the same problem from two different perspectives, and they will Come up with different answers.

Ye Qiu does not want to kill all dissidents. On the contrary, he will allow everyone to put forward different opinions on this tactical system, discuss some issues, and constantly improve and reform. But the problem is, when Your team trains on the training ground and fights on the court. Everyone must have a unified thinking in order to be able to form combat effectiveness.

In the past few years, Ye Qiu has been discussing Tottenham Hotspur's tactical system with Mauro Tassotti, and has been exploring to find a brand-new system that can adapt to both the Premier League and the Premier League. A continental European style tactical system, and after exploration in the past few years, the large-scale framework and direction have basically been determined.

Wave, this is an obvious description of the offensive and defensive system by Ye Qiu and Mauro Tassotti.

When attacking, it is like those waves that are about to hit the shore, advancing layer by layer, one wave higher than the other.

When defending, it is like those waves that bounce back after hitting the embankment, and attack front and back with the incoming waves.

There are many reporters and media outside who are analyzing Tottenham Hotspur's tactical system, especially the defense, because Tottenham Hotspur's defensive improvement in the past two seasons is indeed very obvious, even if Ziegelins is gone this season Base, but Kompany and Thiago Silva, and even the two young players Nastasic and Varane also performed quite well.

With both full-backs advocating for assists, how can the entire defensive system of playing alone as a defensive midfielder be so well organized and tight?

Many people have given answers, but no one has actually told the real key.

Just the simplest example. At least so far, no one has really paid attention to it. Why does Tottenham Hotspur's defense basically stand in a wavy line to face the enemy when facing the defense?

The left back is forward, the left center back is behind, the right center back is forward, the right back is behind, or completely the other way around. The formation of the entire defense line has at least more than ten variations, targeting different threats, and if Add in the defensive coverage of a single defensive midfielder, and there are even more changes. If you want to explain it, just outline it would take a whole day.

This is why Tottenham Hotspur needs to poach those young players and join the team for training early, because it will take a long time for semi-finished products to integrate into such a complex and even cumbersome tactical system.

Of course, there are some exceptions, such as Raul. The Spaniard is very smart, and his tactical style fits well with Tottenham Hotspur's entire system. It can be said that the two sides hit it off immediately, and after running in in the preseason , Raul integrated quickly, but he has not yet fully mastered Tottenham Hotspur's entire system.

This is a very large systematic project. It is just a theoretical explanation. The report that Mauro Tassotti gave to Ye Qiu has at least more than fifty pages, densely packed with words, and This is just the defensive part. If you add the offensive part and the offensive-defensive transition part, it will probably take less than two hundred pages to explain clearly.

Ye Qiu is not worried about others coming to learn or copy, because now is an information age, which emphasizes openness and tolerance. Only by being open can we use the wisdom of most people to innovate and make progress.

And it is not easy to learn Tottenham's complex and complicated tactical system. At least it will take several years to learn it. If Tottenham can't keep its players within a few years, then it is indeed deserved that others will learn from it.

Moreover, so far, the attack and attack-defense conversion parts of the entire tactical system have only completed a framework, and many details need to be further considered and explored. Therefore, the wave-type attack-defense system is still a semi-finished product.

"Put it here first. After defeating Wenger in the afternoon, I will take a look at it slowly. Let's talk about it tomorrow afternoon!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Mauro Tassotti smiled and nodded. He was not in a hurry, and he also hoped that Ye Qiu would give some opinions and guidance after reading it slowly. In fact, in the past few years of cooperation, Ye Qiu gave him a lot of stimulation and guidance in ideas and thoughts. Without Ye Qiu, there would be no such tactical system.

"Sooner or later, you and I will be praised by the whole world because of it!" Ye Qiu gently patted the document on the table and said with a smile, his tone full of confidence.
