winning hand

Some people say that in football matches, the only things that coaches cannot control are two things: violent fouls and fairy balls. When encountering fairy balls, any coach's reaction can only be dumbfounded, and Li Bin is no exception. The biggest difference

That is to say, he was complaining in his heart: Ibrahimović was so popular against Inter Milan and Gerrard was so popular against Liverpool. Why was he so unlucky? When he played against these teams, he met these guys who like to play fairy balls and exploded?

Even if Gerrard has the ability to play such a wonderful world-wide game, he is not able to play like this in every game. But in this game, why did he catch up with his display of power?

Looking at Neuer who was a little confused in front of the door, Li Bin said nothing more: What can you say in this situation?

Gerrard's goal completely broke Li Bin's idea of ​​​​defending with all his strength and fighting for a draw. Seeing that he was about to lose, he could only replace Janas and Lennon, and the three

Two wide players were thrown onto the pitch at the same time, adding more counterattack points and trying to defeat Liverpool with high-speed counterattacks.

However, Li Bin's idea failed to succeed. Mascherano successfully blocked Tottenham's counterattack in the backcourt. In the last minute of the game, Liverpool relied on their interception ability to attack Tottenham.

Blocked layer by layer.

Liverpool are really strong now. They have many shortcomings, and they are really weak in breaking down their opponents. However, in a head-to-head confrontation, they really can't fall behind anyone. Tottenham's side

Due to the impact of the Christmas schedule and the weather, their performance was not particularly good, and they were unable to win the game in the end.

But it doesn't matter - there is not much difference between scoring 1 point and scoring 0 points for a third-place team. The only regret is that in the first four games of this season, they won two and lost two against the top four of the Premier League.

Just average.

Losing to Liverpool 0-1, Tottenham ushered in another defeat of the season. After the game, Li Bin was a little unconvinced in front of the media, "We played this game without any problems. There were problems."

Yes, we are one Gerrard behind Liverpool..."

The only thing missing is Gerrard - this kind of comment can be said to be a very high degree of praise for a player. Moreover, Li Bin is not the first person in the Premier League to give him this kind of evaluation. In the Premier League, including Ferguson,

Many coaches have praised Gerrard in this way, and Gerrard won a victory for Liverpool in this crucial Christmas match that ended half the season and maintained the top spot in the Premier League.

It made him the focus of the Premier League.

But Li Bin, who praised him like this, didn't think it was excessive: Gerrard deserved such praise, especially when the team couldn't open up the situation and needed someone to break the deadlock, Li Bin couldn't think of one.

Who is a better midfielder than Gerrard?

Speaking of hard power, there are several people in the Premier League now whose strength is not inferior to Gerrard. Li Bin has Yaya Toure, Chelsea has Lampard and Ballack, Manchester United's Scholes is a bit old, Arsenal

Fabregas of Napoli is a bit young, but he is also a top midfielder. However, when it comes to standing up in critical moments, no one can compare with Gerrard.

Yaya Toure is very strong. Now, with his one-on-one ability, even among the defensive midfielders in the world, he does not think twice. Coupled with excellent passing, comprehensive skills, and reliable interception ability, he

He is definitely a top player in the Premier League. However, Yaya Toure's grasp of the details of playing football is a big problem. His

The skills are comprehensive, but the style of playing is also somewhat difficult to control: as an African player, he is not strong in tactical discipline. This is the reason why Li Bin does not consider him when considering core players: he is very strong and can play.

The playing style is too self-centered, and as the core, the team has no stability.

Ballack is very strong. Among the midfielders in the Premier League, he is able to keep the front and back of the field together and ensure that the formation remains intact at all times. He is unique in his ability. Moreover, he can mobilize three or four people in a small area.

Cooperation, he is also the strongest midfielder in the Premier League. However, his flaw is his one-on-one ability, which is inferior to Gerrard and Yaya Toure. This aspect is his shortcoming.

location.

Lampard is very strong, with shooting skills, grabbing points, scheduling, and being able to play from behind. He is the best choice. However, his ability to drive teammates is much worse than Ballack, and this is indisputable.

As for the remaining two: Scholes has no physical strength after getting old, and it is not easy to find people on the move. As the core of the midfield, he has no acceleration ability. If nothing else, Fabregas is just a third-year player.

For months, no one can bear it.

Gerrard's one-on-one ability is weaker than Yaya Toure's, his small coordination ability is weaker than Ballack's, and his shot grabbing ability is weaker than Lampard's - but, they are all better than those few. And his is the most impressive.

The troublesome point is that he has exploded too many times in headwind conditions.

Li Bin remembers that after Ferguson retired, he once said that Gerrard was not a top player. In terms of organizational talent, Gerrard was not a top player. When it came to leading teammates and instigating attacks, he was not a top player. However, when the situation was deadlocked,

, when it’s time to draw the sword, if Gerrard is not top, who else can be considered top?

This is also what makes Li Bin envious the most: Although he also has a big killer like Bell who can expect to explode, Bell's explosion frequency and ability are far behind Gerrard. Just established

There is still a big gap between Tottenham for half a year and Liverpool, where Benitez has struggled for three or four years.

The draw that they had planned to defend with all their strength failed to hold, and Tottenham suffered its third loss in half a season. Although speaking of it, compared with Chelsea, which lost four games in half a season, and Chelsea, which lost five games in half a season.

Arsenal is better on the field, but Li Bin knows very well that if he continues playing like this, it will only last one season.

He looks like he is in his early 80s, competing with Chelsea for third place, but it is still impossible to compete with Manchester United and Liverpool for the championship. Especially in the Christmas schedule, Tottenham, which is fighting on two fronts, has a lot of problems, which makes Li Bin also

Clearly, compared to Manchester United and Liverpool, his team is still slightly weaker.

Moreover, this score may not be available in the second half of the season: Chelsea has already clamored for a coaching change. If it is really changed, it will be difficult for Tottenham to gain another three points. Moreover, Arsenal’s ranking after half-way

Sixth, it is definitely unacceptable. They will definitely have to buy reinforcements in the winter. In my memory, they bought Arshavin, but now they will definitely not be able to buy Arshavin. So, who will they buy?

How strong is it? Not to mention, at the end of every year

At that time, whether it was competing for the championship or relegation, these teams in the Premier League were all as good as chickens. There is no essential difference between eighth place and sixteenth place in Serie A, but in the Premier League, broadcast fees and rankings

Directly linked, a difference in ranking means a huge difference in income. These teams will all go crazy in the end. Tottenham's last two games will be Wigan Athletic, one is Liverpool, one is relegated, and the other is competing for the championship.

Yes, none of them are easy to fight, which is what Li Bin is worried about.

However, there is no time to worry about those things now. After Tottenham lost to Liverpool on the 26th, they immediately welcomed Middlesbrough. In the first game of this season, Middlesbrough drew.

Li Bin's Tottenham gave Li Bin a show of strength. In this game, Li Bin also wanted to win and give them a good look.

However, because he had just finished the game with Liverpool, Li Bin had to make some appropriate rotations. He still used Cavani and Suarez as double forwards in the game, and then, in the midfield, he

Let Di Maria rest, let Lennon play, and at the same time, in a rare move, Yaya Toure was replaced, and Malblanque was used as the starter, and Gustavo was used as a central player.

Malbranque's performance in this game was pretty good. As a veteran of Tottenham and not from England, he was not in Li Bin's plan. He was originally prepared to use it and then send it away. But this time he

He played really well. Compared to Hoddlestone, his skills are more mature. As a French player, his talent is pretty good. When facing a team of Middlesbrough's level in the midfield, he can still do it.

Supporting the situation in the frontcourt.

In this game, Tottenham's first goal came very late. It was not until the end of the first half that Tottenham got a penalty kick because Suarez was tripped by a breakthrough in the penalty area.

.The penalty kick was taken by Tottenham captain Ledley King. His shot into the blind corner gave Tottenham a 1-0 lead.

"It's really strange. Suarez obviously has a high possibility of winning the Golden Boot at Tottenham, but he never takes penalty kicks. As the main player of the team, Bell can also be a penalty kicker, but he

No penalty kick was taken either. The last penalty kick was taken by Yaya Toure, and this time it was taken by Ledley King. I don’t know what Tottenham were thinking..."

What Li Bin thought was actually very simple: He was afraid that Suarez would make too many dives, so he simply deprived him of the right to take a penalty kick. Suarez also knew this very well, but he himself had a lot of misdeeds in the past, and he had already done so.

He is the team's leading shooter, and it's hard to compete for him anymore.

.As for this right, Li Bin is more willing to hand it over to players who have performed stably and made outstanding contributions to the team. For example, Ledley King basically did not miss work in the first half of the season and performed very well in the game. Li Bin also

I'm happy to let him take a penalty kick as a sign of encouragement.

As for if he misses the penalty...do Tottenham still need to count on his penalty kick in this game? Middlesbrough is also considered a relegation team. Tottenham has just rotated and made adjustments, and

The players are a little tired, but they will not lose to them. If we say it was against Liverpool,

If a penalty kick is awarded, Li Bin will definitely let Suarez take the penalty - it never hurts to find someone with solid skills to take the penalty kick. Against a strong opponent, any goal is valuable. However, the opponent is Middlesbrough who are fighting for relegation anyway.

, then, a penalty kick is no big deal - just continue to score goals in the second half.

And sure enough, in the second half of the game, Lennon cut inside during an attack and got a counterattack from Cavani at the front of the penalty area, scoring a goal. At the end of the game, Kevin...

Boateng successfully scored again, also receiving a reply from Cavani and scoring a goal.

"Cavani can really activate all his teammates now."

The media also gave a lot of praise to Cavani's performance: There are really not many South American players who can run with such good physical strength under such an intensive schedule.

In three games a week, Tottenham won two and lost one - although it was far from what Li Bin wanted, it was still pretty good.

However, after three games, Li Bin immediately received bad news: Dawson was injured again during training.

"Stop talking so much, just buy people." Li Bin was speechless about this situation. It is normal for players to get injured, but with so many injuries repeated, and the players' level itself is not high, there is no need to force it.

To keep people, "We have to consider winter signings."
