my team is going to attack

Chapter 137

Redknapp thought this game would be difficult, but he didn't expect it to be this difficult. After rotating a lot of players, Manchester City's offense and defense made Tottenham very uncomfortable, especially when he wanted to start the game. Sometimes, he would forcefully attack for a period of time to suppress the opponent's arrogance, but he didn't think about it. The fact is that he was thinking too much.

Tottenham's offense relies heavily on Barry and Lennon on the wing. These two players are regular visitors to the England national team. Redknapp's initial idea was to let them attack Manchester City's wing defense, but he Underestimated the time it took Cambiasso and Milner to integrate into Manchester City.

As soon as the referee's whistle blew the whistle for the start of the game, Tottenham kicked off at home and passed the ball to Lennon on the wing. After passing Bell, Lennon wanted to go straight to the bottom.

The long legs protruding from the side hooked the ball away from his feet. It was Cambiasso who squeezed between the ball and Lennon from the front side. Lennon, who didn't stop all of a sudden, took Cambiasso With a bump, the latter also fell to the ground.

"Di!"

As soon as the whistle of morality sounded, the charge was fouled. Although Cambiasso's movement of throwing forward was a bit exaggerated, it was indeed Lennon who fouled first and the possession of the ball was exchanged.

Rakitic wanted to find Lewandowski from the crowd, but was intercepted by Ledley King. He made a long pass to find Defoe. Today Defoe gave up the forward position to Crouch, and he returned to the midfield to receive the ball.

Joe Cole came up to interfere and the ball was kicked to Milner, but Tottenham pressed the audience in the opening game. Before Milner could stop the ball, Barry swept the ball out of the line.

In the 4th minute, Cambiasso sent a throw-in to Lewandowski, and Tom made a small move from behind. As soon as Lewandowski stopped the ball in his chest, he felt that he was being pulled by his jersey, and he wanted to turn around but couldn't.

Lost the ball surrounded by Modric and Tom.

Modric looked for the tall man Crouch with a big foot, but Cambiasso returned to the defense in time and intercepted the ball with Kompany.

Lao Lei was going to fight Su Bai in the midfield today. As soon as Rakitic stopped the ball, he felt the opponent's interference behind him.

Just about to turn around, Defoe came over and stretched out his legs and stabbed the ball to his teammate from his crotch, and knocked Rakitic down by the way.

"Foul, referee!"

Rakitic, who fell to the ground, growled and complained to the referee, and shook with one hand, indicating that it was a good shot.

Barry, who took the ball, did not break through the midfield. Cambiano, who was still near the center just now, quickly returned to the backcourt. With a clean tackle, the ball reached Bell's feet, stopped and turned around, without wasting a second time.

Although Bell's speed was fast, Barry was not slow either. He got rid of Cambiasso, and Barry stopped Bell in the middle circle.The left and right feet swung quickly, seeing that there was no way to pass the opponent, Bell decisively knocked the ball across to Rakitic in the middle.

Thinking about passing the ball forward was intercepted by the opponent!

Ledley-King made a long pass to cross the midfield. Crouch is really tall, and the header was given to Tom, but it was interrupted by Milner.

Manchester City's oppressive force is very strong, but Tottenham's first 10 minutes, with the support of the fans on the scene, was not pressed back, and they played back and forth with Manchester City.

The confrontation between the midfielders of the two sides was fierce.

Relying on the numerical advantage of their five midfielders, Tottenham Bale, Rakitic and Joe Cole alone can hardly break through the opponent's defense without Cahill and the others stepping forward to participate in the offense.

Lewandowski at the front didn't have many opportunities to catch the ball, and the opponent's central defender Asuo was always by his side, making it difficult to get rid of.

In contrast, Tottenham's offense has no way to enter Manchester City's frontcourt, most of which are intercepted by Cambiasso and Milner in the midfield.

For a team, if his waist is not strong, it is difficult to have too much hope, and they want to pull Arsenal out. Fabregas's skills and offense are very good, but if he is Arsenal's midfielder, it will be difficult. Not very good.Xiaofa's control and interception abilities are average, and so is Pirlo.

Fortunately for Xiaofa, Pirlo has Davis beside him, one of the world's top defensive midfielders.

Why would Su Bai prefer to add Balotelli who has a lot of problems and spend a lot of money to introduce Cambiasso from Inter Milan? Su Bai needs a midfielder who can have a strong interception ability in front of the defender.

Cesc Fabregas and Porlo have first-class skills and overall situation, while Cambiasso and Vieira have super defensive abilities, but poor organizational skills.

So Su Bai had a David Silva in the midfield last season, and this season there is a Lackey to pick up Tich.

To organize and plan an effective attack with the ball in the midfield, it is necessary to pass a threatening pass. control.

And it is too demanding for a player to have control while having a good overall view.

There are not many players in modern football who can do this. Rijkaard may be good, and Beckham, who played as a midfielder in Real Madrid, is also good.

How to pass the ball, who to pass it to, and when is the most appropriate time all take into account the overall situation of a midfielder.

Similarly, if the defensive midfielder lacks control, can't hold the ball, or can't complete the organization, it can only be a waste of the player's physical strength, and it is especially easy for the opponent to fight back.

Therefore, it would be the most ideal configuration for a team to have a strong body, strong defense, strong interception ability, and a midfielder with excellent technology, organization, and awareness.

The question is, where can one find such a player?

A strong team will divide this position into two. The midfielder will be a full-time sweeper in the backcourt, and the intercepted ball will be handed over to the front midfielder for organization. The division of labor is clear. Save the player's personal stamina.

Cambiasso defends and Rakitic attacks. Su Bai thinks this configuration is very good. He even added Milner in the middle. This is a player who can both defend and attack. Although it cannot be said that he The quality is very strong, but as a complement to Cambiasso and Rakitic, Milner can do his job well.

When Tottenham's offense was intercepted time and time again by Cambiasso leading Milner and the others, Defoe and the others became a little sluggish. It's not that I didn't work hard, but the opponent was too strong.

Physical fitness is also the forte of Cambiasso and Milner, but just after participating in the World Cup, Su Bai also said that their playing time is only 10 minutes at most.

Then, Tottenham fans quickly found that their team's offensive players were always tackled and conceded by the opponent. The problem was that they hadn't fouled yet.

Just ask if you are angry!

In the 16th minute, Manchester City got a good chance. Joe Cole got the ball on the left side of the front court. Seeing that only Modric came up to defend, Cole made a beautiful maneuver in Marseilles and easily passed Modric. Great restricted area.

Cole wanted to take a far corner, and before Dawson came up, Cole kicked.

The arc of the ball was very good, and it went straight to the upper left corner of Gomez. Fortunately, the opponent was tall and reacted quickly. He jumped up and hit the ball out of the baseline with one palm.

corner kick.
