The Godfather of Football

"Real Madrid's current midfield and frontcourt are very torn, and it is difficult for the ball to pass to the feet of the front three."

"Although Cavani actively retreats, it is difficult to effectively bring the ball to the frontcourt. The ball cannot reach the frontcourt, and it is difficult to create a threat. This has a certain relationship with Tottenham Hotspur's midfield suppression and defense. ”

"We came to the center again, David Silva passed the ball, Matic intercepted it successfully, and directly launched a counterattack to Ramsey!"

"Ramsey passed the ball to Ribery, and Ribery directly dribbled the ball to speed up. Neither Khedira nor Xabi Alonso could stop him, and they rushed directly into the 30-meter area and reached the penalty area! "

"Ribery made a cross pass before Pepe, and passed it to Lewandowski. Lewandowski stopped in front of the top of the arc. Ramos came up to grab it, and Lewandowski passed the ball. From the right, Messi headed the ball into the penalty area..."

"Messi volleyed and the ball went in!!!!"

"Tottenham Hotspur's third goal occurred in the 38th minute of the first half. Messi's powerful volley from the right side of the penalty area almost hit the upper left corner of the goal. Corner, this is an absolute blind corner, Casillas has almost no reaction to such a goal, there is nothing he can do!”

"Scored twice, well done, Messi. Although the Argentinian's performance in this game was not as eye-catching as Franck Ribery, he seized the opportunity very well for both goals, reflecting the qualities of the world's top superstars. value!"

After the whistle sounded that the goal was valid, Messi rushed out of the stadium and rushed to the home team's coaching bench. He gave Ye Qiu, who was standing in front, a high-five and then hugged him tightly. At this time, Tottenham All the players from Tottenham Hotspur rushed out of the stadium and rushed to the sidelines, tightly surrounding Ye Qiu in the middle.

"This is Ye Qiu's last game. He once again confirmed before the game that after this game, he will leave the coaching position of Tottenham Hotspur and serve as the team's behind-the-scenes boss. He will no longer He will be involved in the team’s competitive affairs, and the team’s chief assistant coach, former Italian international Mauro Tassotti, will take over Ye Qiu’s position.”

"Many Tottenham Hotspur players said in interviews with the media before the game that they hope to give their head coach an unforgettable season before Ye Qiu retires, so this season Tottenham Hotspur performed very well. It was outstanding and, coming into this game, Tottenham were almost invincible.”

"We saw that Real Madrid was almost powerless against Tottenham Hotspur!"

The live TV camera gave a big close-up of Casillas. The Real Madrid captain looked innocent and helpless, because he couldn't figure out why the situation turned like this, and he couldn't figure out why his teammates Will Tottenham Hotspur be given the opportunity to kick in the penalty area again and again?

"3:0, it can be said that Tottenham Hotspur has almost won the championship early in the game so far, but we should not forget the season when Tottenham Hotspur won the Champions League for the first time. It happened that when we were trailing Manchester United 0:3 in the first half, we scored four goals in the second half and finally reversed Manchester United 4:3. It was a great miracle in the history of the Champions League final, and it is still talked about by countless fans even now. Happy Luzhniki Miracle!”

After a round of crazy celebrations at Tottenham Hotspur, all the players returned to the game one after another. Ye Qiu patted his sweat-stained Versace suit with a helpless smile on his face. .

"Fortunately, this outfit is free!" He joked in a very thoughtful tone.

Mauro Tassotti laughed, but he also felt a pressure, not just because Ye Qiu has brought Tottenham Hotspur to an unprecedented peak this season, a level that is almost impossible for him to surpass. The peak is also because Ye Qiu's influence on Tottenham Hotspur is too great and far-reaching.

Sometimes he is self-aware. He knows that he cannot surpass Ye Qiu. No matter how good or outstanding he is, he cannot do it. He even firmly believes that it will be difficult for anyone to surpass Ye Qiu in the future, because There was only one Ye Qiu, and from the day he decided to retire, it meant that no one could surpass him.

This is a pressure, but it is also a motivation, because he knows Tottenham Hotspur, because he has invested eight years of hard work for Tottenham Hotspur, so he has an urgent desire to see This hard work can bear fruit in his own hands and create a strong team in Tottenham Hotspur.

Today's Tottenham Hotspur belongs to Ye Qiu, and the future Tottenham Hotspur will belong to him, Mauro Tassotti.

"They all say that Real Madrid has a balance of offense and defense, but in my opinion, this team seems to have a balance of offense and defense, but it is more of a separated balance. Ancelotti wants to accommodate Superstars are forced to separate offense and defense, which is not a real balance!"

Mauro Tassotti's analysis was approved by Ye Qiu. A very important reason why the current Real Madrid team can reach the final is that many teams in the Champions League this season have encountered problems. Bayern Munich They have just undergone a coaching change, Manchester United's Ferguson retired, Dortmund lost two core players in a row, and Barcelona's aging and tactical system are rigid.

Of course, every strong team will encounter some problems every season, so some people say that to win the Champions League, you need some luck.

But in Ye Qiu's opinion, if Real Madrid met Dortmund last season or Bayern Munich under Heynckes in the semi-finals, this team would still be in trouble.

From the beginning to the end, Real Madrid has never shown a king's dominance!

…………

…………

Ye Qiu and Mauro Tassotti's analysis on the sidelines, when Real Madrid returned to the locker room with a score of 0:3 at halftime, many players in the locker room were also thinking about this problem.

But the people who think about this problem are more players in the midfield and backcourt.

No one is stupid, and no one is a fool. As early as March, Xavi Alonso, as a representative of defensive players, had a frank conversation with Ancelotti. In this conversation, he mentioned a problem very clearly, that is, when Real Madrid encounters a strong team, especially a team that puts strong pressure on the midfield, the offensive players in the frontcourt cannot provide more help to the midfield in defense, and Real Madrid will fall into the embarrassing situation of being out of touch with the front and back.

In the La Liga, Real Madrid has encountered this situation several times, such as playing against Athletic Bilbao, Villarreal and Atletico Madrid. After being out of touch, Real Madrid fell into great trouble. Even if the opponent had enough ability to seize the opportunity, Real Madrid would be humiliated and defeated.

But this problem has not been well solved even now.

Some people say that Real Madrid should introduce a midfielder with super defensive ability to liberate Xabi Alonso and David Silva, but in fact, the people who say this are because their thinking is still in the past, that is, the era of the beginning of the century. He still thinks that a Gattuso can activate a Pirlo.

But the current football tactical environment is integrated, teamwork, and a contest of people!

Just like in the first half, once Tottenham Hotspur intercepted the ball in the midfield, a defender came up on the back line, and immediately formed a numerical advantage in the midfield and immediately achieved an overwhelming situation. In this case, even if the other three players have superb defensive abilities, what can you do?

Can you still use the art of clones?

What is the monkey slip?

The monkey is that I have more people than you, and I always have someone who can appear in the gap, and I will keep passing the ball to you!

The advantage in numbers is the biggest advantage in football tactics now!

The biggest problem of Real Madrid now is not the lack of defensive ability in the midfield. Of course, the defense of the midfield is not strong, but this is not the key problem. The key problem is that when the opponent puts pressure on the midfield and the midfield is in a disadvantage in numbers, the trident in the frontcourt cannot provide effective help and assistance.

Cavani is very diligent in the front and actively retreated at the beginning of the season, but it was later proved that his retreat would cause Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale to be isolated and helpless in the frontcourt. These two wingers need Cavani to stir the opponent's defense line in front to get the opportunity and space to sprint.

Cristiano Ronaldo basically does not retreat, Gareth Bale has good tactical execution, and occasionally retreats according to the requirements of the head coach, but he is not engaged in defense after retreating, and has little effect in connecting the offense. He is not the kind of player who can effectively carry the ball forward.

In the final analysis, this is the Achilles' heel of Real Madrid!

The so-called tactical diversity means that if you have Cristiano Ronaldo on the left and Messi on the right, or even not Messi, like Ribery or Robben, the entire Real Madrid's offense will become more diverse and more varied.

And the so-called integrity is that the attacking players in the frontcourt can become the barrier and protective shield of the midfield, and the midfield can become the cornerstone of the frontcourt players to launch attacks and provide a steady supply of artillery fire.

But in Real Madrid, only the two are clearly separated!

There is a very strange atmosphere in the locker room, which is helpless, frustrated, and even indignant.

No one spoke, because everyone was unhappy in their hearts, because they originally thought that they should be the role of calling the wind and rain, but in this game, facing Tottenham Hotspur, they found that they had fallen to the point of being forced to survive, and even survival was a problem.

For this group of arrogant stars, there is nothing more disappointing than accepting this helpless display.

Ancelotti was standing in the locker room. Before the game, he repeatedly told the players, especially the front players, with a focus on Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale. He asked the two players to actively help Carvajal and Vargas defend on the wing, but the effect was almost non-existent.

Gareth Bale did retreat several times, but his defensive behavior was more like a symbolic participation without any substantial contribution. Tottenham Hotspur vigorously promoted the attack on the left, that is, the right where Gareth Bale was, but the Welshman repeatedly exposed Carvajal to the opponent's gun.

Cristiano Ronaldo was even more excessive. He simply did not even participate in the symbolic defense, but directly stood in the front, waiting for the pass from his teammates behind him.

Of course, they also have sufficient reasons, that is, too much retreat and defense will consume their physical energy and weaken their threat in the offense, so they need to save physical energy, wait for the opportunity of a quick sprint attack in the game, and then strive to maximize their own threat in every attack.

This kind of thinking itself is a naked thinking that puts individual performance above the team as a whole, is there any problem?

Ancelotti is very clear, and he also knows that the team is unbalanced, but in Real Madrid, the team's development strategy will always be above the tactical needs of the head coach or individual games.

Faced with such a situation and such an opponent, Ancelotti really doesn't know what changes he should make!

…………

…………

The second half of the game started with Tottenham Hotspur's serve, but Tottenham Hotspur changed its active retreat in the first half and began to press forward boldly, launching a round of offensive tactics.

Ye Qiu's mentality is typical of a gambler. I already have three balls in hand and enough chips in my hand. I have the capital and courage to fight with you.

Tottenham's attacking tactics have always been a unique landscape in European football. It can be praised as the team that is best at attacking. It can be seen that Tottenham's attack is not just relying on brute force. On the contrary, Tottenham's attack is more of a high-position defense and high-intensity pressure attack under fast rhythm.

Real Madrid hoped that Tottenham would press forward from the beginning of the game, and it would be best to directly push the midfield to the vicinity of the 30-meter area of ​​their own team, because this would allow them to play the speed advantage of counterattack. However, in the first half, Tottenham did not press out as they wished.

When Tottenham finally pressed forward, Real Madrid found something wrong because they were already three goals behind. The morale and fighting spirit of the players were seriously threatened, and the physical strength of the players was also consumed to a certain extent. At this time, Tottenham pressed forward, and without the help of the frontcourt players, the pressure on the midfield and backcourt players was very high.

At this time, let alone counterattack, even defense became very difficult.

Tottenham's offensive tactics are still to play on the wing. Whichever side the ball goes to, the side's full-back will actively press forward to participate in the attack. When Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale are not actively involved in defense, the midfield must support the defense of the wing more, and the middle is prone to loopholes.

Just like this time, Matic was at the front of the 30-meter area and passed the ball to Marcelo on the left. The Brazilian left back came up and attracted Khedira, but before Khedira approached, he passed the ball to Ramsey and rushed forward quickly. Ribery saw that Carvajal's attention was attracted by Marcelo, so he chose to run inside.

Ramsey was unguarded, and Xabi Alonso was about to run to defend him, but the Welshman made an overhead pass, and the ball passed the entire back line of Real Madrid and fell into the penalty area, and Ribery quickly cut into the penalty area from behind Carvajal and Pepe.

The ball bounced after entering the penalty area. Ribery did not stop after approaching the ball because he saw goalkeeper Casillas who abandoned the goal and made a calm right-footed pass to the middle of the goal.

The ball passed Casillas again and fell into the middle of the goal. Lewandowski rushed to the front of the goal before Ramos, almost on the goal line, and pushed the ball into the goal with the inside of his foot, 4:0!

Ribery passed the ball and rushed out of the bottom line due to the inertia of his body. When he turned around and saw Lewandowski scored, he turned around and ran. In this game, the French winger was very active on the left, almost the most active member of Tottenham's frontcourt, and this was also related to Tottenham's more left-wing attack.

All the people in Tottenham followed him and rushed to the bottom of the fans' stands. Lewandowski even hugged Ribery by the waist and thanked the Frenchman for his two consecutive assists.

"Tottenham's four goals are basically inseparable from Ribery. Although the Frenchman did not score, Ribery's performance on the left was very impressive. This 31-year-old veteran still looks very strong and is still the offensive spearhead of Tottenham's frontcourt!"

"4:0, the current situation is very unfavorable to Real Madrid. Perhaps they should rethink and reflect on why Real Madrid lost so miserably in such a game that everyone thinks should be evenly matched, whether in terms of team lineup or star quality, there is almost no difference in the game?"

"Tottenham showed their flexible tactical changes and their superb tactical qualities. In the first half, they were able to adopt a strategy of shrinking defense and counterattack, and in the second half, they decisively pressed out to play. Ye Qiu's tactical choices and grasp of the timing of changes are indeed admirable."

"This is the top tactical master!"

After the players of Real Madrid scored the fourth goal at Tottenham Hotspur, everyone seemed to be disenchanted. Many people even showed a sense of hesitation and confusion because they were only over 50 years old. Minutes, there are still more than thirty minutes left, is it possible that they are really going to be beaten by Tottenham Hotspur by a shocking score?

"It's a coincidence that ten years ago, in the 1993/1994 season, the Champions League final was AC Milan versus Barcelona. In that game, Capello's team defeated Barcelona 4:0 at the Olympic Stadium in Athens. This Milan dynasty It ushered in another peak after Sacchi, but at that time AC Milan reached the final three times in three years and won only once. "

"Today, ten years later, Tottenham Hotspur once again took the lead 4:0 against Real Madrid, and will also usher in a new peak of the Tottenham Hotspur dynasty. In the past three years, they have also reached the top of the league. The final, but we have won the championship for two consecutive seasons. As long as we win it again this time, it will be the third consecutive championship!”

"And this battle may become a legendary battle for Tottenham Hotspur that will go down in history!"

"Unfortunately, Real Madrid will become another tragic player after Barcelona's huge defeat at the feet of a legendary team!"
