The Godfather of Football

With Eden Hazard's world-beating performance at critical moments, Tottenham defeated Wigan Athletic 2:1 on the field.

At the post-match press conference, Ye Qiu spoke highly of the players' performance. At the same time, he criticized Wigan Athletic's poor venue with dissatisfaction, believing that this was a disservice to the fans who came to the scene and the players of the away team. An irresponsibility.

"When our groundskeeper Paul Burgess first came to White Hart Lane, he often complained to me that you are too boring. As we agreed before, you are only responsible for the management and maintenance of the turf of the stadium. I Well done. White Hart Lane is already the best home ground in the Premier League. If you are still not satisfied, why do you still want me to have the belief to win? What does this have to do with me?”

The media below all kept quiet after hearing what Ye Qiu said, because they knew that Ye Qiu must have a reason.

"I told him, hey man, it's not that I'm asking too much of you, but this is what it takes to be part of Tottenham Hotspur and I ask players to inject it into the football we play. Our soul, I ask our staff to invest their passion in their daily work, I want everyone working for Tottenham Hotspur to have exactly the same belief as the club, a winning spirit faith.”

"If you didn't, you couldn't be one of us!"

"He was convinced, and he became a good friend of mine, and before every home game, he told me and my players, hey, man, I built you the best venue in the world. Please work hard and play the best football in the world for me and all Tottenham fans, the football that must win!”

When everyone heard this, they vaguely guessed what Ye Qiu wanted to say.

"This is a belief, a philosophy and a culture of the club. Without this kind of attention and accumulation of details, everyone's so-called first-class and future are all nonsense. The Premier League is now proud of the Europa League. We The live broadcast can be spread all over the world because of our level, our quality and our concept. "

"The manifestation of these things is in the details. For example, our broadcast level is far ahead of other European countries. We can use a lot of details in the game to create a kind of tension and a kind of tension for all the fans watching the live game. Maximum immersion, but this obviously does not include the poor playing field and the potholed swamps!”

When Ye Qiu said this, Roberto Martinez looked embarrassed. He had expected that Ye Qiu would complain about the venue. If he could say it, even he would complain because of the venue. It's just too bad.

"I know, some people may say, you win, be more tolerant, but I never believe that tolerance can create progress, and even if possible, I hope to make an appeal here. I hope that the Football Association and the Premier League can set up a special The home inspection team inspects all home stadiums before every Premier League game. If it is not qualified, the venue will be changed. "

When he said this, Ye Qiu smiled sarcastically again, "Of course, if there are teams that say they have no money, I think the Premier League should investigate their financial situation. At the very least, they should look at how much money they spend every year. Where did it go? If the losses are really serious, it’s very simple. Leeds United is the best example!”

All the reporters at the scene were amused after hearing this, especially when they saw the embarrassed look on Roberto Martinez's face.

In fact, Ye Qiu's statement is a bit difficult, because it is impossible for all teams to pay as much attention to the maintenance of the home turf as Tottenham Hotspur does, because Tottenham Hotspur has very high requirements for the turf and the venue. The team's style needs to be based on such a hardware environment. All White Hart Lane stadiums are small and dilapidated, but the turf has always been the best in the Premier League and even in Europe!

When Ye Qiu had just acquired Tottenham Hotspur, the first thing he did was to recruit Paul Burgess, the former groundskeeper of Highbury Stadium from the rival Arsenal camp. Being stingy with his budget and funding, he ended up switching to Tottenham Hotspur.

Over the years, under the protection of Paul Burgess, Tottenham Hotspur's ground has always been very good, and Ye Qiu is also very supportive of the work of the Blackpool people. It is even revealed that for Stratford Paul Burgess will adopt a new laying system and structure for the turf of the Bundesliga Stadium, which can make the turf of Stratford Stadium more suitable for London's climate and more suitable for Tottenham Hotspur's team. style.

Although many people have reservations about the call made by Ye Qiu, after all, such a call will benefit Tottenham Hotspur more, while for other teams, such as some who prefer the British style of play and do not have high requirements for the venue For the team, it is undoubtedly a kind of extravagance, and they are eager to use vegetable fields to trap technical schools like Tottenham Hotspur.

But everyone has to admit that Tottenham Hotspur and Ye Qiu's investment in these details is indeed very rare among other teams, and even among teams in Europe.

Because of this, in the media reports after the game, the media did not pay much attention to Ye Qiu's appeal and only reported it in passing. However, for Hazard's outstanding performance and Neymar's performance in the week, He scored twice in the game and received extremely high attention and evaluation.

These two wing talents are regarded by Tottenham Hotspur as the hope for the future. Many people even believe that if Messi chose to leave Tottenham Hotspur and go to Manchester City, today's Haza Germany and Neymar already have one person who can take the lead alone, and they actually do have such strength.

Some reporters are marveling at Tottenham Hotspur's star-making ability.

So far this season, Tottenham Hotspur has demonstrated its strong competitiveness on all fronts, and it is not just the team's strong first team that supports Tottenham Hotspur's competitiveness. The main lineup also includes the maturity and maturity of a group of young rookies including Hazard, Neymar, Sandro, Eriksen, Coutinho, Pogba, Nastasic, Varane, etc. progress.

"In the summary of many professionals, the biggest reason why Tottenham Hotspur has always had problems in the second half of the league in the past two seasons and was forced to reduce from multiple fronts to only being able to compete in the league is that the team The constant selling of stars over the years has led to increased competition among teams.”

"If you look carefully at the 2008/09 season when Tottenham Hotspur won the Premier League and Champions League double crown, it is not difficult to find that although the thickness of Tottenham Hotspur's lineup in that season was not very good, It has also gathered many outstanding stars including Lucas Leiva, Robin van Persie, Gareth Bale, etc., and a strong competitive rotation mechanism has been formed in the team.”

"But in the past two years, Tottenham Hotspur has experienced a period of turmoil after its peak. Beckham has aged, and the team has successively sold off Robin van Persie, Falcao, Cesc Fabregas, David? With powerful stars such as Silva, Yaya Toure, Zygrinski, Coentrao, Modric, and Gareth Bale, the team has fallen into a state of drought!”

"There is no doubt that, judging from the main lineup, Tottenham Hotspur are still proud of the rest, and Ye Qiu's excellent management ability and his admirable tactical understanding have made Tottenham Hotspur's The overall strength is guaranteed, but the team’s substitutes are mostly filled with young rookies aged 17, 18 or 19.”

"Tottenham Hotspur is rich in talented rookies. This has become a consensus in the industry, and their ability to train young players is not inferior to Ajax and other youth training teams. Therefore, in the past two years, including Ramsey, Ha The maturity of players such as Zade, Kompany, and Marcelo, coupled with the joining of rookies such as Neymar, Sandro, Alba, and Coutinho, coupled with the introduction of Vidal, Raul, and Pirlo When you become a star player, it can be said that the current Tottenham Hotspur not only have a good main force, but also a strong bench, it is time to make a big difference!”

“And it’s not difficult for us to find this in this season’s games. The team had crazy wins against Manchester United and Manchester City in the previous period, and the state must have declined after the peak, but at this time, they won the League Cup. Neymar came out and scored twice to save the team, and then followed up with Hazard in the league to help the team get three points away from home. This is definitely not an accidental event. "

"Everyone knows that for a ten-month league schedule, it is impossible for players to maintain their peak condition for a long time, and the most reasonable way should be to rotate. When a player is not in good condition, rotate another one. Players come on the field, and the requirement for players in this kind of rotation is that at least the difference in strength cannot be too big.”

"From this we can see that whether it's Neymar or Hazard, whether it's Eriksen, Coutinho or Nastasic and Varane, or Kyle Walker and Alba, They all have the ability to rotate and even qualify as the main force!”

"In this fierce competition, everyone is premised on maintaining their own status. They will do everything possible to keep their main position. This will make the team burst out with a strong competitiveness, which is currently What everyone can see is Tottenham Hotspur’s core competitiveness!”

"If we want to judge the Premier League championship this season, there is no doubt that the current leader Tottenham Hotspur is the number one favorite!"

"If I were to judge the winner of the UEFA Champions League this season, there is not much suspense. I would still choose Tottenham Hotspur!"

Outside media, whether they are biased towards Tottenham Hotspur, those who remain neutral, or those who are hostile to Tottenham Hotspur, their reports, teams and players will basically not give too much attention. focus on.

To be honest, all Tottenham Hotspur players have received training in this area. This is a required course for players from all wealthy teams, because they have to learn how to deal with the media and how to maintain a consistent attitude under the hype of the media. He has a normal mind, and Robert Milson is also an expert in this area, and he is even more familiar with coaching players.

After the team finished the match against Wigan Athletic, they had no time to rest at all. They went to Spain in the middle of the week to challenge the strong La Liga team Valencia away. This was also the first match against Tottenham Hotspur in Group E. Said, the most challenging game, because the strength of Valencia in this group is second only to Tottenham Hotspur.

Playing away from home and playing in the Champions League, although Valencia's overall strength has declined after losing David Villa, David Silva, Juan Mata and other stars, this does not mean that Valencia's overall strength has declined. On behalf of the Bat Legion, there is no chance of an upset at home.

Former Real Madrid striker Soldado, Spanish rookie Canales, Argentine midfielder Banega, and veteran Albelda are in the backcourt. Emery actually has a pretty good set of cards in his hand. Although there is no possibility of winning the championship in the European arena when competing for the championship under the two giants of the Spanish Super League, it is still okay to shine occasionally.

And to be honest, the players of Valencia are basically a little bit short. Whether it is Soldado, Canales, Banega, Parejo or other players, they basically have the potential to play in a first-class team, or even a top team. So these players may not have the desire in the silent and ballless La Liga, but in the Champions League, they will show surprising strength and desire to win.

In fact, Valencia used Spanish-style difficulties to cause a lot of trouble to Tottenham Hotspur throughout the first half, causing Tottenham Hotspur, who were playing away, to be unable to find the feeling of attacking. In addition, Ye Qiu made rotations to save his strength for the North London Derby against Arsenal at home on the weekend, so the two sides tied 0:0 in the first half.

But in the second half, Tottenham Hotspur took the initiative to give up space and opportunities, which made Valencia feel relieved. He thought that Tottenham Hotspur had played many tough games in a row, especially in this devilish schedule. The team began to lose strength and wanted to press out to create opportunities. At the critical moment, Vidal scored a powerful shot from the front of the penalty area, helping the team to take the lead 1:0.

This shot in the 56th minute completely woke up Valencia, and the Bat Army fell into defense again.

Ye Qiu also saved his strength for the weekend game. He replaced Cavani, Vidal and Pirlo with Raul, Eriksen and Beckham. It was Beckham who made a diagonal pass into the penalty area in the 87th minute. Raul lightly unloaded the ball and turned to shoot, expanding the score for Tottenham Hotspur, 2:0!

In the end, Tottenham Hotspur took away a 2:0 victory from the away game!

Two consecutive victories in the Champions League group, especially defeating the group's top competitor Valencia, allowed Tottenham Hotspur to defend the qualification for the top spot in the group and laid a solid foundation for the group's promotion.

Back in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur sat at White Hart Lane and welcomed North London's arch-rival Arsenal.

This is the first North London derby of the new season. After being defeated twice by Tottenham last season and having a humiliating 0:9 defeat, Arsenal now has some shadows when facing Tottenham, and is obviously a little worried about the away challenge to Tottenham.

In this game, Wenger arranged a 433 tactic, goalkeeper Szczesny, the back line from left to right are Gibbs, Mertesacker, Alexander Song and Sagna, the midfield is Arteta, Wilshere, Diaby, and the front court is a combination of Rosicky, Walcott and Gervinho.

Ye Qiu paid enough attention to this game. He had a war of words with Wenger before the game, in which he focused on the 9:0 massacre last season, saying that even so far, Arsenal has not made any progress compared with last season, and the team will complete a victory at home.

Wenger certainly argued for this. Although Arsenal is not very competitive in the Premier League at present, Wenger will not give up easily, especially when facing the arch-rival Tottenham Hotspur and the arch-rival Ye Qiu.

But Wenger cannot refute that they are not as strong as their opponents.

Goalkeeper Cech, defense line, Marcelo, Kompany, Thiago Silva and Kyle Walker, midfielder Ramsey, Pirlo and Vidal, front trident Ribery, Cavani and Messi.

Obviously, Ye Qiu's previous rotation, in the end, is to gather the main lineup to play against Arsenal. As Ye Qiu said at the internal mobilization meeting before the game, Tottenham Hotspur must continue this winning streak against Arsenal, not only to defeat the opponent, but also to make Arsenal feel scared when they see Tottenham Hotspur in the future, and feel cold from the bottom of their hearts.

As a result, Tottenham scored just over a minute after the start of the game. Ramsey assisted Messi to score the first goal.

More than ten minutes later, Messi assisted Cavani to score the second goal in turn, and then Cavani received a pass from Ribery and scored another goal, taking a 3:0 lead at home in the first half.

Even Andy Gray and Martin Taylor, the best partner of Sky TV who were responsible for the game commentary, were very disappointed with Arsenal's performance in the first half, because Wenger's team did not show any ambition and desire to win the opponent away from home.

Inferior skills, this is their most profound impression of the current Arsenal, because they only had one shot in the entire first half, and they did not shoot on target, which shows how embarrassed Arsenal is.

After the second half, Cavani received a long pass from Pirlo and passed it to Ribery. The French scarred man took advantage of the opportunity to score the team's fourth goal. Then Ramsey and Messi scored successively. Tottenham Hotspur finally won a big victory over Arsenal 6:0 at home.

This is also the second consecutive season that Arsenal has suffered a consecutive defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. Wenger said after the game that Arsenal is indeed far inferior to its opponent Tottenham Hotspur in strength.

But even so, Tottenham fans still took advantage of their North London rivals and attacked them in every possible way after the game. This defeat also made many people completely disappointed with Arsenal, believing that Wenger's team had lost the right to compete for the league championship, and even the top four in the league became a question.

And with the successive victories over Manchester United, Manchester City, and Arsenal, Tottenham became the strongest contender for the Premier League championship in everyone's eyes!

But just when Tottenham was in good shape, the Premier League was temporarily suspended and ushered in two weeks of national team match days.
