The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 370 I Can't Fall!
The first half of this game was not good at all!
I believe this is the feeling of all fans who have watched the game at White Hart Lane, more than half an hour before the match between Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, because all three aspects adopt a cautious and conservative strategy.

Referee Weber is very cautious, because he knows very well that the relationship between Ye Qiu and Mourinho, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea can be described as intricate and entangled. Many different meanings, fans all over the world are also very concerned about Ye Qiu's encounter with his old club, and Mourinho also wants to prove himself by defeating Ye Qiu.

In such an important game, the purpose of arranging him to serve the whistle is also very clear, that is to prevent the referee from becoming the number one target of the game, so Weber's law enforcement in the game is very cautious, always grasping the scale of the game, as long as Fouls that slightly crossed the line were called out, and the enforcement was strict.

But in doing so, as the referee, there is really nothing wrong with it, because he enforces the law completely according to the standard, and there is nothing to say. whistle.

But the price paid was that the game was intermittent, no one was able to play their own rhythm, and the game seemed fragmented, not compact at all, and even gave people a feeling of procrastination.

I believe that all fans who have watched the live broadcast of the game or watched the game at the scene will have a feeling that there are too many whistles, and the game always feels very long, while some games with fewer whistles give people a sense of coherence and time flies. Very fast feeling.

Weber was cautious, and so were Ye Qiu and Mourinho.

Tottenham Hotspur scored three points in the first three rounds of the league, which is still far from Ye Qiu's goal of reaching the semi-finals. Although he is full of confidence in the team, he must See, the league relies on accumulation. If you fall too far behind now, it will be difficult to catch up next.

Relatively speaking, Mourinho's advantage is more obvious, but he is more cautious. Facing Ye Qiu, it is not his style to press out and play, and his team has the advantage in terms of strength, and he also wants to take a step to swallow it slowly. Tottenham Hotspur's approach.

At least for Chelsea, they got a lot of chances in the first half an hour, but they were just one step away from scoring. If it wasn't for Shevchenko wasting a few opportunities, if it wasn't for Petr Cech in this game If they performed well in the middle, then Chelsea would have scored a goal long ago.

It is precisely because the three sides are very cautious that the game becomes ugly. Even Chelsea, which is superior in strength, has no good way to break the deadlock in the game because they lack effective means of attacking from the side.

Messi's performance in this game was quite mediocre, but his containment of Ashley Cole on the right played a big role, and without Ashley Cole, Chelsea's wing attack was equivalent to was scrapped.

Without sideways, there is no tactical width. Without tactical width, Tottenham Hotspur can properly compress the formation and concentrate their forces in the middle. It is obviously more difficult for Chelsea to break through this line of defense.

It seems that in the 37th minute, Shevchenko wanted to break through after getting the ball in the frontcourt, but failed to break through Thiago Silva effectively, so he had to knock back. Ashley Cole stepped in this time After getting the ball, he took a long shot directly.

It's a full 30 meters, and Mourinho is waving straight from the sidelines. How cheating is it to kick at 30 meters?And it's still on the left side. You have to play at least a little closer to the center, right?Or you aim a little bit with your feet, aim at the goal and hit again. After finally getting in, you hit the ball directly into the stands. Is it fun?
Ashley Cole, like a normal person, turned around and walked back without any regrets.

"In the period since the start of the game, Chelsea did get a lot of opportunities, but also squandered a lot of opportunities. It seems that there is no good way to attack, and Shevchenko is almost in an invisible state. , missed a few chances and became the biggest highlight of his game so far."

Since Mourinho and Shevchenko joined Chelsea, how to use Shevchenko and Ballack has always been a problem. Vchenko, let Drogba play a single striker, and then arrange two wingers to support Drogba.

This set of tactics has performed very well in Chelsea's games in the past year, very sharp and very aggressive, because the winger's counterattack is in line with Mourinho's defensive counterattack strategy for Chelsea.

But in this match, he went up to Shevchenko and Ballack. This was more or less a fight with Ye Qiu, because everyone knew that Ye Qiu refused these two superstars to join the team. Yes, now Mourinho went to them, obviously hoping that they could score goals, and slapped Ye Qiu hard in the face.

But what I didn't expect was that Chelsea couldn't even play their own offense in this game!
"Chelsea's offense is weak, but Tottenham Hotspur are also contained. Chelsea's midfield is indeed very good, very restrained. Tottenham Hotspur's midfield is obviously contained by them and it is difficult to flow smoothly. operation!"

But in Ye Qiu's heart, there is another feeling, that is, Davis is really old, even too old to adapt to the requirements of the Premier League team, and this is his biggest challenge so far this season. One mistake, that is, he originally expected Davis to last another season, but now it seems that there is no way.

Yaya Toure, Mascherano and Cesc Fabregas are all too young. They have the strength, but they are all too young. Yaya Toure is still too immature and needs to exercise and accumulate more experience. Being able to make himself meet the requirements of a strong team in the Premier League, now he may be able to play the main role when facing some mid-lower teams, but he can't do it when facing a strong dialogue.

But Davis is obviously much older than last season. Although he is only 33 years old, his type of player requires high physical fitness, and after coming to Tottenham Hotspur last season, he almost played After the entire season, he severely exhausted the last bit of strength in his body, causing his state to decline rapidly this season.

This is something that Ye Qiu did not expect and cannot control, but he has already seen some clues from the pre-season warm-up match, but he still hopes that Davis can adjust it, but now it seems that it is obvious no.

In this game, he was completely submerged in Chelsea's muscle forest, which directly led to the loss of Tottenham Hotspur's midfield.

Although very reluctant, Ye Qiu still has to say that Davis no longer has the ability to play the main force in Tottenham Hotspur, at least since he finished the first half, he was panting and sweating profusely Walked off the field looking tired and weak.

If it was him at Chelsea, he could easily bear the intensity of the first half.

Old is old, heroes are late, beauties grow old, it is a doomed thing!
"We should quickly find a suitable midfielder during the winter break!" Although Ye Qiu was very reluctant, he still had to do so.

Of course, he will at least let Davis finish this season, and then talk to him to see what his plans are next.

Ye Qiu has always been reluctant to sign players during the winter break, because he has always felt that there are great risks in signing players during the winter break, and they are easy to be slaughtered, but the current situation has forced Tottenham to go crazy. Spurs have to sign in during the winter break, unless Ye Qiu wants to rely on the two young men Yaya Toure and Huddlestone to survive this season.

It's ironic to say that the winter break is only planned in September, and this summer's transfer is really a bit of a failure!
Sometimes you have to admit that people with big fists make sense.

Mourinho made two substitutions at half-time, Joe Cole for Ferreira, Duff for Shevchenko, and Chelsea reverted to a winger trident, built around Deloitte. Ba, Lampard, Makelele, Terry and Carvalho were used to attack and defend along the central axis, which immediately gave Chelsea a big improvement in offense.

The strength of Chelsea's four midfielders is very strong, covering a wide area and excellent defensive ability, which allows Chelsea to attack from the wing without any worries. The left wing composed of Ashley Cole and Joe Cole, The right flank occupied by Duff has become the source of Chelsea's attack to open Tottenham Hotspur.

With tactical width, teammates on both wings, and without Shevchenko getting in the way, Drogba is more comfortable in the frontcourt, and his performance has skyrocketed, while Lampard has also got more Going free, Chelsea's entire attack came alive.

When Drogba received a cross from Ashley Cole after Joe Cole on the left flank in the 70th minute, he was double-teamed by Hangeland and Thiago Silva , blocked Hangeland with his back, pressed Thiago Silva in front of him, and shook his head to head the cross from the left into Tottenham Hotspur's goal. Turnham Hotspur fans are silent.

Andy Gray, after venting his wild cries after scoring a goal, looked at Drogba without a trace of celebration, without a trace of joy on his face, but silently turned and walked towards Drogba in the midfield, his tone was also full of emotion.

"We can definitely understand Drogba's mood at this moment. Before the game, the Ivorian center said in an interview with the media that the person he is most grateful to in his life is Ye Qiu. If Ye Qiu didn't treat him at Chelsea Without the support and encouragement, it is impossible for him to get to where he is today, and everyone knows that Ye Qiu fell out with Abramovich because of protecting him."

"Before the game, Drogba said he hoped to score against Tottenham, but he also said that he would not have any celebrations after scoring because he wanted to dedicate the goal to that He once trusted him unconditionally, the most respected head coach in his life, he will work hard to score goals, because he wants to prove to everyone that Ye Qiu's original decision was right!"

Andy Gray sighed deeply, "We can't feel the feeling in Ye Qiu's heart at this moment, maybe we feel regretful, or maybe a little bit happy, we don't know, but we have to admit that even if It's been over a year and he's still a huge influence on this Chelsea team!"

All the fans at the scene and the fans in front of the TV could see that after Chelsea scored, there were two completely different emotions on the scene, with Carvalho, Ferreira, Ballack, Ashley Cole and other players The headed newcomers were obviously very excited and wanted to rush over to celebrate with Drogba.

But Drogba, Lampard, Makelele, Deco, Terry and other players all walked back in disinterest, obviously unwilling to participate in the celebration, and each one of them did not forget when they walked back. Turning his head to look at Ye Qiu in front of the coach bench of the home team, the latter was also captured by the live broadcast camera with a helpless smile on his face.

This is indeed a very contradictory situation and mood. I don't know whether to be moved or sad.

"Conceding a goal now is definitely not a good thing for Tottenham Hotspur, because it will be very difficult for them to equalize the score. Defensive counterattacks have always been Chelsea's forte. Tottenham Hotspur are cornered."

With more than 20 minutes left in the game, Ye Qiu made the choice to give it a go. He replaced Davis with Yaya Toure. At the same time, he replaced Arbeloa with Vargas. The side lanes take turns plugging in to attack.

Pressing out to attack, Tottenham Hotspur naturally showed a flaw behind. In the 83rd minute, Chelsea intercepted the ball in the middle and counterattacked. Deco went straight. Lampard got the ball from the front of the penalty area and then volleyed vigorously. Tottenham Hotspur's goal, 2:0, this has undoubtedly sentenced the game to death!

Ye Qiu stood on the sidelines, pursed his lips, looked ahead, stood very straight, expressionless!
Before this game, he had thought about countless outcomes, including losing, even a terrible loss. He had thought about it, so now he lost two goals, he can completely bear the consequences, and he can even imagine Well, after this game, all the reporters and media must have praised Mourinho overwhelmingly, and then trampled himself down, but he can bear all of this.

Of course, he has to bear it, because this is his duty!
Every strong team must have a spiritual force to support it. This force can make the team invincible when it is strong, and can still defeat opponents when it is weak.

In the past, Tottenham Hotspur did not have such mental strength. It was because of the frequent change of coaches and the high turnover of players. But now, Ye Qiu must stand up and become the big tree that shelters the team from wind and rain. Tree, reshape the spiritual power of Tottenham Hotspur, so that this team has a future!

So, no matter what, if anyone falls, he cannot fall!
"It turns out that I won!"

In the press conference hall at White Hart Lane after the match, Mourinho was grinning from ear to ear. He had never defeated Ye Qiu before. This was the first time, so he was happy for other people. What he couldn't comprehend, even he had a feeling that today was the happiest and proudest day in his coaching career.

Because he finally defeated the big stone that had been entrenched in his heart and on top of his head for a long time.

"I think 2:0 is definitely not a fair score. According to the opportunities we created in the game, this score should at least quadruple, that is, 6:0, but no matter what, I think Totten Hotspur did a good job defending and caused us a lot of trouble."

After a pause, Mourinho laughed again: "This is a very young team, but unfortunately, this is the Premier League, a battlefield where you can live and die, and we have to beat our opponents ruthlessly to advance ourselves. "

At the end of the interview, when the reporter asked Mourinho how he commented on Ye Qiu, the Portuguese grinned again, "Ye Qiu is undoubtedly a very good head coach, I have never doubted it." His ability, I also believe that he will definitely be able to bring more new changes to Tottenham Hotspur."

"This team is currently ranked No. 15 in the Premier League, only two points away from the relegation zone, but I think this ranking is inaccurate. I believe that Tottenham Hotspur will have no problem with relegation this season, because they are still a very good team. Competitive team!"

The reporters at the scene obviously welcomed Mourinho's insult. The world of football is like this. If you win, you are a hero, and if you lose, you are a bear. So Mourinho is now qualified to say such words, and he also I wish Ye Qiu and Tottenham would be a little weaker and couldn't bear it directly, it would save me a lot of energy.

Ye Qiu has always believed in one principle. In the football world, the performance on the football field should speak for itself. The players are like this, and so is the head coach. So now that he loses, he has nothing to say!
When the reporter wanted Ye Qiu to comment on Mourinho and comment on this game by the way, Ye Qiu expressed his congratulations on Chelsea's victory.

"Chelsea is the strongest team in the Premier League today. I think they are still the number one favorite to win the championship. We have nothing to say about this game. They deserve to win. The responsibility for this game is on me. , I misjudged the situation, which led to the final loss of the game, I have an unshirkable responsibility, and I apologize to all Tottenham Hotspur fans here!"

Ye Qiu said the above sentence in the entire press conference, and it was the only thing he said.

But compared to Ye Qiu's silence, Mourinho seemed very high-profile. After all, he finally won Ye Qiu, and it was a 2-0 victory. It is not difficult to understand that he was in a good mood, so he became this The protagonist of a press conference became the darling of all newspapers and media around the world the next day.

Quite a few newspapers and reporters believe that with Chelsea's strength, as long as they continue to maintain this state, it is absolutely possible to win the Premier League four consecutive times, and Mourinho has repeatedly expressed his confidence in this in interviews.

On the contrary, Ye Qiu, many people think that Tottenham Hotspur's goal this season should not be the top four, but should be quite successful in keeping the fifth place in the league last season. After all, this is a team in the past. It is almost impossible for a team that has not had any good results and no background for decades to reach the top four in one step.

"At least, the battle at White Hart Lane proved one thing, Ye Qiu is not omnipotent!"
