Andy Gray commented on the battle of the pinnacle: Chelsea reinterpreted possession and speed!

Eriksson wants to emulate Chelsea's tactics: Ye Qiu's Blues will lead the revolution in English football!

On the second day after the game ended, major media in England and even Europe reported the game one after another, and even used various alarmist headlines to attract the attention of readers. evaluate.

Martin Samuel writes a column about the Premier League every day, and for a long time recently, his favorite topic is to analyze Chelsea's tactics and changes, and even discuss Ye Qiu's tactical adjustments and changes in every game for analysis.

But in the past, many non-Chelsea fans would doubt or even attack some of his analysis and ideas, because they all felt that Martin Samuel's praise of Chelsea and Ye Qiu was a bit too much. The same is true, even though Eriksson and Andy Gray gave their own opinions separately, much like Martin Samuel, but they still doubt the impartiality of these comments.

In this case, the Times published another column, from Eric Harrison.

"Even loyal Manchester United fans may not have heard of this name, but from the moment you read this column, please remember him firmly. Rufford has worked for nearly 20 years and is known as the founder of the peak generation of Manchester United's class of 92. He is currently the head coach of the FA's youth coach training center."

There is also an explanation in the report, introducing this plan of the FA, which was born in 2001. At that time, the FA bought a piece of land of more than 1 square meters in Burton, a water town in the heart of England. kilometers of land, ready to build England's own Clairefontaine.

When this plan was first announced, England was ambitious for the national team and the youth team, but in the following two or three years, with the unsatisfactory performance of the England national team and financial problems, the plan came to a standstill.

But immediately afterwards, Eric Harrison and others changed their functions and began to run around in England, taking the form of training courses to guide young people who are interested in being coaches from all over the country, hoping to contribute to English football. Cultivate more professional youth coaches.

For Eric Harrison, people who are not professional insiders or who are very familiar with Manchester United may not know him. He is the real creator behind the class of 92, because Eric Harrison at that time was Manchester United The director of youth training, including Giggs, Scholes and Beckham and other players in Class 92, were all cultivated and carved by him.

Because of this, Eric Harrison has a very large influence in the English football circle. This time he opened a special column, hoping to convey more football ideas that keep pace with the times through the media.

In this column, Eric Harrison first analyzed the difference between modern football and football in the past from the perspective of a coach. He mentioned an obvious change, that is, the use of high-tech products .

"I still remember that what our coaches said to the players in the past was, go up boy, run as far as you can, shovel as much as you can, shoot as much as you want, I believe , that was what all the managers did at the time, because football was relatively primitive back then."

"But now, I heard that Ye Qiu was the first to bring a laptop into the stadium when he was at Ajax. He even specially arranged for a coach to use this laptop, which is always connected to the Internet, to use it from anywhere at any time. Here he obtained the information he wanted, and even directly connected to OPTA's database, perhaps first-hand information and materials."

"I also heard that Ye Qiu specially asked someone to write a set of software called Tactic Board. From this set of software, he can input all the opponent's data and intelligence, analyze and organize them through the software, and then Analyzing, estimating and summarizing before and after the game.”

"And during the game, this set of software called the tactical board can also combine external statistical data anytime and anywhere to analyze the game situation of each player and opponent, such as the player's coverage area, range of activities, performance and so on."

"When Ronaldinho failed to cut inside with the ball from the left a few times, Ye Qiu could find out the opponent's targeted arrangement in this aspect through the software, and then he could make targeted adjustments, see It is to let Ronaldinho go straight to the bottom, or let Evra come forward to support, the latter is to let Deco and Lampard go to support."

"It's time for a substitution. Ye Qiu can combine his own judgment with the analysis provided by this set of software. He can tell his players very precisely where, how, and what tasks to perform after they go up. When I heard the news, my first reaction was that it was too detailed and targeted!"

"Many people say that Ye Qiu is the most targeted head coach in the Premier League and even in Europe. His opening attack tactics and game-specific adaptability are second to none, but I think his personal ability may not be the best. Yes, but after he combines these high-tech products developed and created by himself, he is the best!"

"I personally admire Ye Qiu's concept very much, that is to keep pace with the times!"

"Many head coaches will inevitably have a narrow-minded thinking. For example, Wenger, why must he cling to 442 unchanged? Because he is afraid, afraid of breaking the team's structure, and losing players including Vieira, Henry , Pires and other stars, Arsenal's performance will plummet, after all, he also has no confidence in himself."

"Just imagine, if a head coach doesn't have confidence in himself, how can the players have confidence in you?"

"One of the things I admire most about Sir Alex Ferguson is that he is brave enough to meet the challenge, from the introduction of Veron after the triple crown to the release of Beckham. I always believe that with time, Ferguson's team will have the opportunity to cross Europa again, because he is Ferguson!"

"For the same reason, I admire Ye Qiu. A very important reason is that Ye Qiu is constantly changing and strengthening himself."

"As I said just now, the tactics of modern football are becoming more and more targeted. If you don't change, then the set you are good at will be cracked by the opponent sooner or later. At that time, it will be too late for you to change, and you actively seek Changes may bring risks, but opportunities also coexist with risks.”

"Many people say that Ferguson took too many risks to lead to Manchester United's downturn in the past two years. Nardinho, Wayne Rooney, Heinze and several other players who performed well at Chelsea moved to Manchester United, so Manchester United will still be like this?"

"There is no doubt that Ye Qiu is a very comprehensive head coach. He can not only attack and defeat opponents on the court, but also attack and weaken opponents in the transfer market. This is not just Abramovich. Qi provided him with money, but also because of his keen vision and judgment. I even dare to say that he is the most accurate head coach I have ever seen. He once joked that he Coming from the future, I kind of doubt he's kidding."

"In addition, I think there is one thing in Ye Qiu's tactical philosophy that all Premier League teams, all English teams and managers can learn from, that is, he has always emphasized the awareness of playing football."

"I had a conversation with him once, when I went to London and visited Chelsea's Cobham training base, I saw that they were all training with the ball, even a few young players who were training with the first team, And they are all in a very small range, allowing the ball to be skillfully passed and received while the players are running non-stop."

"The thing that impressed me the most is that he has always emphasized purpose. He has a very interesting requirement for the team, that is, whether it is passing, running, tackles, interceptions, or even fouls, it must You have to have your own purpose. In the words that the players explained to me, even if your decision proves to be wrong afterwards, you must know why you did it, because maybe you are wrong this time, but the next step Once was right."

"If you know exactly why you are doing every move on the court, then you are the best player!"

"This is the sentence that Ye Qiu said to me that surprised me the most. When many Premier League coaches are complaining about players' poor technical skills, English players are too dull, and the Premier League is brutal. Qiu is emphasizing awareness."

"He said that it is right or wrong to say that the skills of Premier League players are poor. Compared with mainland teams, the skills of Premier League players are indeed not refined enough, but they are enough for professional leagues. Those who feel that it is not enough even complain. Yes, because they are not smart enough!"

"Assuming that the same player chooses two different ways to catch the ball, it will produce two completely different effects. The first one is that he runs out of the opponent's control to catch the ball. Generally speaking, the opponent who catches the ball like this If you want to react and get close, it takes about 1 to 2 seconds. If you want to make a defensive action, it takes longer. Unless it is difficult or the ability to stop the ball is poor, otherwise, with the quality of a professional player, 2 seconds is enough for you to stop. Pass the ball afterward."

"This is what he said, as long as you have purpose, then when you run to catch the ball, you have already figured out how to play the ball, then you don't need to hesitate at all, pass it as soon as you stop, and you don't need to waste time at all. "

"There is another option, to run to catch the ball within the control range of the opponent's player, or to catch the ball aimlessly. The former will be pressed by the opponent as soon as he catches the ball. The first reaction is to protect the ball. , the advancement of the ball is stopped; the problem of the latter is the lack of purpose, after stopping the ball, you have to observe the surroundings to find the route of the ball and the point of response.”

"Using Ye Qiu's words, the first method of catching the ball belongs to the method of smart people. When it is presented on the court, everyone's ability to pass and catch the ball is very good, and the stopping technique is very delicate and solid. The second method is full of mistakes. The basics of the ball are terrible, they are always struggling left and right, but in fact, they are the same player, the same technical ability and the same skills."

"That is to say, what really determines how much technology and skills you can display on the court is not how solid your technical skills are, because for those who can become professional players, their basic skills are obtained after more than ten years. There is no problem, but the problem is their consciousness.”

"Even he said that even if 11 players with Zidane's skills all use the second method to play, this team will also not be able to play a smooth offensive coordination. On the contrary, it will always be at a standstill. Because they're going in the wrong direction!"

"Ye Qiu said that he is not very satisfied with the current Chelsea team, because there are many things that are not enough, and there is still a long way to go before his request. I can vaguely guess, because this Chelsea team There are many veterans, and the veterans have developed their own thinking logic when playing football, and Ye Qiu can only choose to accommodate them in many cases."

"But Ye Qiu also said that the future of football tactics is creativity, and the creativity of a team depends on the way the players of the team play, and the way the players play depends on how they play. It depends on whether they clearly know what the purpose of their appearance on the court is."

"This is a brainstorm. Many people admire Arsenal's football, but I think Chelsea's football is more worthy of praise, because Arsenal emphasizes the individual creativity of the players. Henry, Pires, Bergkan The creativity of Pu and others, but what Ye Qiu admires is the creativity of the entire team."

"I am full of expectations for the future of Ye Qiu and Chelsea, because I can't wait to see what kind of football Ye Qiu wants to bring us. He said that he has touched the threshold, but he still needs The time may be as short as three to five years, or as long as more than ten years, but he will definitely continue to walk on this road."

"Finally, I congratulate Chelsea for returning to the top of the list. They are the most amazing team in the Premier League and even European football in the past two years!"

Compared with Martin Samuel's column, Eric Harrison's column obviously adds more violent material. The length is not very long, but the amount of information is very impressive. It can even be said that many things contained in it will be Let many head coaches who were still at a loss find a clear road map.

Although Eric Harrison has never coached alone, he has more than 550 game experience, as well as his 20 years of experience in Manchester United's coaching staff, plus his recent years from Everton to Welsh National Team, his coaching experience can be said to be very rich, and his ability should not be underestimated.

At least Mark Hughes was able to lead Wales to almost make history and almost entered the European Cup finals. Eric Harrison, as the chief assistant coach, contributed a lot. This is a fact that everyone in the circle knows.

Now, speaking such words from his mouth soon aroused huge repercussions in England and even European football.

Football tactics are constantly moving forward, which is known to everyone, but the problem is that if a hundred flowers bloom too much, it will inevitably lead to confusion for many people, and most people have no desire to actively seek answers. I wish someone could tell them what to do.

Regarding this point, Ye Qiu said in an interview with the media that this is definitely not the attitude a qualified head coach should have.

"I never want others to tell me what to do. I will take the initiative to find answers. Reading books, watching games, researching and analyzing can help me get a lot of information, because I think no one can tell you what to do. Do!"

"There are many conclusions left by the predecessors in the football circle, and there are even many truths that are regarded as laws, but I think it is unnecessary to praise them too much. This is not because I don't respect them. On the contrary. , I respect them very much, but I think those just represent their views on certain things and issues."

"Many people like to discuss Chelsea now, but who among them really understands Chelsea? Even my coaching staff and I dare not say that we know everything about Chelsea very well. How can others understand? When they express their opinions, they just Look at it and think about it from their point of view."

"This will help us, because maybe that angle is something we haven't thought about, so we also welcome such comments, but we will not trust or even rely on such comments, we will always trust our own judgment .”

As for Eric Harrison's praise of himself in the column, Ye Qiu also shook his head and said that he didn't have as many ideas as he said, or that he didn't have such a great goal.

"Actually at the end of the day, my starting point is because I'm a fan, I love football, I love coaching, I love working with my coaching staff, with my players, to create something that makes all the fans happy, watching We will all feel happy, our own football."

"As for talking about leading the trend, or thinking about the development of football tactics, I never thought about it that way."

"I reserve the right to pursue Eric Harrison for leaking the topic of our conversation without my consent!" Ye Qiu joked about Eric Harrison at the end of the interview.

In the astonishment of the reporter, he smiled and continued, "Unless he treats me to a big meal when he comes to London!"

"And I want to say that what he is doing now is very meaningful. I think whether it is the FA, the Premier League, or even all English professional clubs should give strong support. Youth training is a team and a league. , and even a hope for the future of football in the country."

"I am coaching in the Premier League. Of course, I hope that English football will be full of talents. I also hope that the level of English football will become higher and higher. All of these need to promote the reform of English football youth training."

As for Eric Harrison's rumors, he hoped to invite Ye Qiu to join the FA's youth training reform team. Ye Qiu declined, because he is now focusing all his energy on Chelsea. On the contrary, the FA is not happy with this. He was very interested, and on the recommendation of Eric Harrison, he said that he would not rule out the possibility of inviting Ye Qiu to be the chief advisor.

But Ye Qiu didn't respond to this, because he soon ushered in the most intensive Christmas schedule.
