The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 689 The Value of a Superstar

It's the last minute! !

Franck Ribery bent over, panting heavily.

Even though he has only played for about 10 minutes, in fact, he has not known how many times he has sprinted back and forth. This kind of continuous high-speed sprinting and running back and forth in a short period of time consumes a lot of physical energy, and he is still there. When adjusting your physical condition, your physical fitness is still at a low ebb.

The water was pouring down his head and face, and he couldn't tell whether it was rain or sweat, and it might have been mixed together.

When Ye Qiu was replaced at the last moment, what Ribery felt was a very strong sense of trust.

He has played under Ye Qiu for so many years, and he knows Ye Qiu very, very well. This understanding is believed to include Messi, because in the current team, they are the players who have played under Ye Qiu for the longest time. He has been playing football with Ye Qiu since he was at Chelsea.

It can also be said that Ye Qiu single-handedly brought them to the position of world superstars today!

A French reporter once asked with a smile when interviewing Ribery, if he left Tottenham Hotspur, where would he choose to go?
Ribery said in a joking tone at the time, "If one day I leave Tottenham Hotspur, I will return to my hometown of Boulogne, work as a brick mover, and continue to complete my father's wish. A job done!"

This must be a joke, but Ribery once told Ye Qiu that he hoped to retire at Tottenham Hotspur!
Many people may not know that Ribery's current salary is very high, at least in Tottenham Hotspur is one of the best, second only to Messi, but in fact, he has never discussed salary with the team. None, his agent is still the agent of Moon Sports Services Company, and he is one of the few signed players of this company.

He hasn't changed from his time at Chelsea until now.

Sometimes, when he wakes up in the morning, he will stand in front of the bathroom mirror and look at himself. He is not narcissistic, because how could his face full of hideous scars make him have a narcissistic complex?

He is looking for, he hopes to find his past self in the mirror, and then remind himself, "Come on, Frank, there is no football, no head, you are just a worker who moves bricks, come on!"

A little out of breath, he raised his head and let the rain hit his face. Franck Ribery felt his eyes a little sore, and he didn't know if it was the stimulation of the rain, or because at this moment, he suddenly remembered many, many things .

He remembered Ye Qiu's promise, that he would do his best to help Franck Ribery win the highest honor of a professional player, that is, the World Footballer, and now it has become the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

I also remembered what Messi said when he won the Ballon d'Or, he knows Messi very well, he is a guy who can't fake.

I also remembered a lot, and remembered everything about my past.

Grabbing vigorously, he wiped off the liquid on his face that was unclear whether it was rain, tears or sweat. He turned his head sideways and glanced at Ye Qiu who was standing on the sidelines. thumbs up with a smile.

He is always like this, as if he never feels the pressure!Ribery thought to himself.

Whether Ye Qiu is a good head coach depends on what other people say, but what his players say.

There are some head coaches who take credit for their wins and find someone to take the blame for their losses. There are a lot of such people, because they want to create a kind of omnipotent, number one in the world, and never make mistakes. image.

But Ye Qiu belonged to that kind, where the credit goes to the players, the blame is his own, and the head coach scolded behind closed doors if he wanted to scold him.

Tottenham Hotspur will hold dinners for players and their families every month, and during these dinners, everyone will discuss some topics openly and honestly. Once, someone asked Ye Qiu why he had to pay for a player who performed poorly. When he was blamed, Ye Qiu jokingly replied, "Because I am the head coach of the team!"

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, this is just a very simple sentence, even a head coach can say it, but how many head coaches can say, can say, and dare to say this sentence?

If someone asked Franck Ribery what he learned from Ye Qiu, it would benefit him for the rest of his life.

Ribery's answer is sure to surprise everyone, because the most valuable thing he learned from Ye Qiu is also the best quality, not everything on the court, nor the pinnacle of a professional player, but A sense of responsibility.

Not only him, but Tottenham players obviously have a stronger sense of responsibility than other teams.

It is this sense of responsibility that makes them willing to work tirelessly for the trust and support of the fans, and also makes them willing to do their best for the team, even if they fall directly on the court.

To use captain Thiago Silva's words to encourage his teammates, "As long as you wear this jersey, whether you are in the Champions League, in the league, in the cup, or even if you are sent to the reserve team or the youth team, you will be You have to do everything in your power to maintain the dignity of this jersey, because it's not just a jersey, it doesn't just belong to you, it belongs to each of us!"

If you haven’t personally experienced Tottenham Hotspur from nothing to today’s success five years ago, you will not understand the meaning of what Thiago Silva said, because Tottenham Hotspur’s current The glory and the current history are all created by this group of people!

Ribery saw Ye Qiu's thumb and smile, and he responded to the coach with a confident fist.

The time is about to end before you know it, and the scoreboard shows that it is already 93 minutes, and this game has officially entered the last minute.

Pirlo got the ball in the backcourt, he couldn't run anymore, passed it to Ramsey, the Welshman took the ball, his dribbling was awkward because he just had cramps, just to not interrupt the game, to not After being carried off the field, he did not lie down, but stood upright, and rejoined the game after getting through the pain.

Others Ramsey looks gentle and handsome, but this is a tough guy!
Ramsey passed to Messi, who retreated to get the ball, and De Rossi behind him stuck it up, stopped and turned around, De Rossi got stuck, Messi's speed could not rush, so he could only pass the ball For Ribery on the left.

Franck Ribery originally had to wait for Messi to pass a through ball, but now he had to run to the side of the pass. After receiving the ball, Mika Richards was in front of him, and behind him Yaya Tu Ray rushed over quickly.

"Tottenham Hotspur's last chance to attack, Franck Ribery took the ball from the left and faced Micah Richards, how would he make a choice? Personal breakthrough? Still the same as before, knock back to give Teammates?" Andy Gray analyzed the situation.

The first task of the commentator is not to tell the fans what you see, but to tell the fans what they can't see, so Andy Gray's commentary is more about some analysis and professional judgment.

At the very least, it can help some football laymen see what is happening on the football field and why it is happening.

"Beautiful, Franck Ribery has made a breakthrough!" Andy Gray suddenly exclaimed loudly.

"A beautiful ball pass, Ribery forced a break through Mika? Richards!!!"

I saw Franck Ribery poke the ball to Mika Richards' left side with his right foot, and I rushed quickly from his right side, which is the side close to the left line, and completed a sudden attack The ball was scored.

It must be said that Ribéry's speed has slipped a bit from his peak, but he still maintains it very well.

Therefore, after completing the frontal impact, he quickly got rid of Micah Richards who turned around behind him and Yaya Toure who kept chasing back, and in front of him was a large blank area that was not defended by anyone.

"Franck Ribery's speed is very fast, he dribbled the ball directly to the penalty area, Hangeland's return defense was very timely!"

In the voice of Andy Gray's commentary, Hangeland, who was originally lagging behind, caught up with Ribery at the front of the penalty area, but Cavani and Messi in the middle, and Neymar on the right also rushed quickly Come up, there are people on the left, middle and right lines.

"It's a very good counterattack opportunity, just look at Ribery!"

Franck Ribery was blocked by Hangeland at the front of the penalty area. He had to slow down, but it was only a moment. Accelerate, and poke the ball to Hangeland's right side towards the bottom line, and he once again urges him to rush up at the fastest speed.

Hangeland is also very smart. He stretched out his hand to block Ribery firmly, and even had a very obvious pulling action, because he knew very well that his speed, especially the speed of turning, was not enough to face the short Ribery. He couldn't handle the direct frontal impact at all, so he would rather foul outside the penalty area and receive a yellow card than let Ribery rush into the penalty area.

However, Franck Ribery also seemed to have expected Hangeland's action long ago. He deliberately used his right hand to stop Hangeland's pull, so as not to let the other party have a chance to hold him. Even after rushing into the penalty area, Hangeland had a very obvious pulling action.

But Franck Ribery rushed through a gap after all. He didn't have a chance to hit the goal directly, because Hangeland's position was stuck too well, and Kolo Toure also blocked Hangeland at the first time. However, if Ribery hits the goal forcibly, nine out of ten will be blocked by Kolo Toure, or saved by goalkeeper Joe Hart.

It must be admitted that Manchester City's defense is indeed very tightly organized and very difficult to deal with!

After Ribery stood out, he didn't intend to hit the goal at all. He suddenly made a spike pass with the inside of his left foot. This pass not only fooled Hangeland and blocked the shot Kolo Toure from the angle, and even the two teammates Cavani and Messi in the middle were deceived, let alone Manchester City's defender and the chasing midfielder.

Cavani rushed to the goal, but didn't wait for the ball. Messi stood at the top of the penalty area, but couldn't get the ball. Only Neymar, who was transferred to the right, kept running. Pay attention to the depth distance between yourself and your teammates. He cannot overlap with Cavani and Messi, so he is right in the middle of Cavani and Messi, and Ribery's pass comes just right. to him.

This game was indeed a nightmare for Neymar. He had no way to deal with the muscular man Mika Richards. He suffered a lot and moved to the right. His performance improved and this time, once in a lifetime, Ribéry created a great scoring chance for him.

Some people say, what is the difference between a superstar and a star?
Usually in the entire tactical system, you can’t tell the difference between their roles at all, but at this critical moment, it’s like Neymar’s now, the last moment, 93 minutes and 49 seconds, the ball came to him. underfoot.

To shoot or not?how to shootIn what way?At which angle to shoot?
If you grasp it, you will be a superstar, if you can't grasp it, you can only be a football star!
Neymar hardly waited for the ball to stop. He aimed at Ribery's pass and swung his right foot directly to a powerful low shot. The ball was almost in a straight line and at an extremely fast speed. , stuck to the right post and got into the goal, and at this time Joe Hart's flying save landed.

After seeing the ball into the net, Neymar clenched his fists and rushed out of Manchester City's penalty area, shouting loudly along the way.

This is a kind of venting, venting his depression and grievance throughout the game, venting his helplessness in the face of Micah Richards throughout the game, venting his excitement and excitement for scoring the winning goal for the team!
But soon, Ribery rushed from the side and hugged Neymar directly, followed by Cavani, Messi, Ramsey... One after another teammates rushed up, and a group of people rushed up. Loud shouts and celebrations from the sidelines.

3: 2!

At the last moment, the last minute, the last ten seconds, they finally broke through Manchester City's goal and scored the winning goal!
Referee Howard Webber blew the whistle for the goal, but everyone knew that City didn't even need to restart the kick-off because it was more of a ritual and they didn't have any time to attack. Even if they are given a chance to kick off, the whistle for the end of the game will be blown as soon as they kick off.

"Great goal!!!" Andy Gray also exclaimed after Neymar's goal, looking very excited, and even gave Tottenham Hotspur this goal without hesitation Highly rated.

"This goal not only helped Tottenham Hotspur get three points away, but also helped Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City widen the league points gap to eight points. It is definitely a painful blow for Manchester City, which Nam Tottenham are chasing after!"

"But more importantly, in the last minute, scoring at the last moment of the game, this will have a huge psychological impact on Manchester City players, especially in the last period, Manchester City adopted conservative tactics, while Tottenham Tottenham are trying their best to win, and the gap between the two will inevitably have some impact on the fighting spirit and morale of the players on the road to winning the championship!"

Martin Taylor nodded and said yes, "Ferguson said that Ye Qiu is a head coach who is very good at playing momentum, and Tottenham Hotspur are also very good at playing momentum and rhythm, so Ye Qiu has to let go even if it is a risk at the last moment." Fighting, replacing Ribery with this surprise soldier is a little more certain, I can accept a draw, but I can't lose my morale and momentum!"

"Yes!" When Andy Gray showed Mancini on the sidelines of the live broadcast, the Italian was obviously very angry, but also very helpless, "It should be said that Mancini played very well in the first half of this game. Very good, but in the second half, Ye Qiu once again used his skillful adjustments during the halftime break to change the first half's slump."

"Especially when Ribery was replaced at the last moment, it played a key role in the trend of this game. The biggest contributor to Neymar's goal at the last moment should be Ribery. Carl Richards and Hangeland assisted, this goal might not have appeared!"

"This is the value of a superstar!"

"They don't need to shine the whole game, they don't need to have amazing performances every game, but they just have that ability, when the team needs them, they can turn the whole game around!"

Martin Taylor also laughed, "Neymar's performance in this game is absolutely terrible. If there is no last goal, his rating may even be the lowest in Tottenham Hotspur. Neymar is even lower, but with this goal, I believe Neymar will be a hero."

"It's not so much that he scored a goal for Tottenham Hotspur, it's better to say that he is a kind of salvation for himself!"

Howard Webber blew the end-of-game whistle as Tottenham celebrated.

Manchester City did not have the slightest objection, even the fans in the stands of the city stadium seemed very helpless and frustrated, because they got one point originally, which made them feel satisfied, but in the end, Neymar's The goal turned one point into zero, but was widened by Tottenham by eight points.

"This game is very important for Tottenham Hotspur!" Andy Gray is analyzing the current Premier League situation, "We played against West Ham United in the last round, and this round against Manchester City. Then Wigan Athletic, Newcastle, Arsenal, Manchester United, Everton, Stoke City and Chelsea, an absolute monster schedule."

"There was a wave in the first half of this devil's schedule!" Martin Taylor laughed. "Tottenham Hotspur performed quite well at the time, but now that the season is halfway through, this devil's schedule is very difficult for Ye Qiu and his team. It's a big challenge for the team!"

"Yes!" Andy Gray also agreed, "Especially after the Champions League round of [-] knockout rounds resumes, Tottenham Hotspur will face multi-line battles at that time, and I believe the situation will be even more difficult."

"However, if Ye Qiu's team can make it through and maintain their advantage in the league until the end of March, which is the end of the devil's schedule, I believe the situation will be completely different then, because the situation in the league is clear and there will be no pressure in the next few games. The opponent's strength is difficult to pose a threat to Tottenham Hotspur, and if the Champions League can advance from the top [-], the situation will be very good!"

This is the so-called crisis. Where there is danger, there is opportunity. Risk and opportunity always coexist.
