The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 632 He's starting the next game!

Ye Qiu once said that his ideal football should look like this.

It has the passion of English football and the integrity of German football, but it also has the rigorous tactics of Italian football and the delicate foot skills of Spanish football.

This is indeed a very demanding requirement. It may only exist in ideas or fantasies, but it cannot become a reality. But for Ye Qiu, this is his pursuit, and he has done so many things in the past. In the past few years, he has been walking on the road of pursuing this dream, for which he has been making various attempts.

Today's Tottenham Hotspur combines many advantages. For example, they play a highly integrated football and have a rigorous tactical system. At the same time, many players have very delicate skills at their feet. The passion for the game is also quite good, but he still feels that these things have not been well integrated.

Of course, there is no perfection in this world, but we should do our best to pursue perfection.

This is Ye Qiu's mentality.

When he landed in the Premier League, English football was still far behind continental Europe. 442 was still admired here, and the fierce game rhythm, high-intensity physical strength confrontation, and even brutal foul actions were still admirable. All in all, the Premier League team seriously lacks core competitiveness in the European arena.

At that time, Ye Qiu was thinking, this place is simply a hell for technical players, it is impossible for players with delicate skills to appear, and even the Arsenal team, which was the most gorgeous in the Premier League at that time, was full of Vieira, Gilberto Schiller, etc. Watts, Parlor and other well-known titans, the Premier League at that time seemed like a desert of technical football.

Ye Qiu clearly realized at the time that it was impossible to reform all of this in a short period of time, just like Wenger, it took several years to transform Arsenal, and it was only then that Arsenal ushered in an undefeated season , It's just a pity that I couldn't win the championship in the end.

Therefore, Ye Qiu made a compromise at that time. While introducing technical geniuses such as Ronaldinho, he also introduced powerful players such as Essien, Drogba, and Rooney. The team's local players such as Lampard and Terry, and then rely on Davis, Deco, Makelele, Cannavaro and other players to blend them into a whole.

In the eyes of many people, the Chelsea team at that time had a sense of conquest of power, but at the same time possessed the gorgeousness of technology, as if they had found a balance between brutal violence and delicate tenderness, so the Chelsea team at that time Still living in the dream of countless Chelsea fans, even now, they still long for a head coach to bring out such a Chelsea.

But Ye Qiu's opinion is obviously different from that of the fans. He thinks it is difficult for such a team to maintain for a long time, because they have high requirements for players, and this kind of integration is relatively simple, very rough, unsustainable, and has no possibility. Reproducibility.

During his time at Chelsea, Ye Qiu had a brand new understanding of Premier League football.

In the past, he always felt that the so-called passion of the Premier League should be bred by the league style such as fast pace and emphasis on physical confrontation, but later when he came to Chelsea, he found that it was not, but the people here.

Ye Qiu once looked through a lot of Chelsea videos from Ranieri's time. He noticed an interesting phenomenon. Behind the central defender combination of Leboeuf and Desailly, the young John Terry didn't have many chances, but this The young player is very interesting. He does his best every time he plays. As long as he appears on the court, he will not stop for a minute.

Even Terry, who was young at that time, dared to scold the main players who were older than him in the team, which was unimaginable in any team at any time, because football has always been a game that pays attention to seniority. In the field, especially in England, England used to have a tradition of so-called rookies helping veterans shine their shoes.

Later, I saw Gerrard, then Rooney, and Lampard again, and, even if it is England's biggest brand, fans all over the world regard Beckham as a flamboyant Beckham. In fact, they all have a unique temperament of English players. You may occasionally see this kind of temperament in players from other leagues, but it is rare.

England seems to be rich in this type of players, Ye Qiu even wondered, does it have something to do with England's climate?So you see, Spain and Portugal in the warmest south are rich in skilled players, and the further north you go, you can't say that there are no such players, but the overall skill level is lower.

Ye Qiu didn't do research in this area, but he clearly realized that the passion of English football is actually not created by any tactics or the style of this country's league, but by the people here.

Manchester United is a team that Ye Qiu admires very much. Ferguson's team will always be full of passion. This is because Ferguson created this team and injected the passion in his heart into this team.

Therefore, when Ye Qiu left Chelsea and thought about why he failed, he knew very well that he had to build a team into an extension of his will from the very beginning, using his own thoughts, ideas, All his ideas are instilled in this team. Only in this way can he realize his wish.

If he continues to work for others and coach other people's teams, it will be difficult for him to last long and continue his pursuit.

After the acquisition of Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu has been observing, and he found a very interesting thing, that is, with the gradual continentalization of English football, especially with the commercialization of the Premier League, the original English players' That unique temperament is becoming rarer and rarer.

Wayne Rooney is the player Ye Qiu has seen that best meets his tactical requirements and is also the most passionate player in English football. Unfortunately, his price is too high, too high for Tottenham Hotspur to afford. Then you look at the players, like Theo Walcott, Ashley Young, Lennon, even Wright Phillips, Carroll, etc., they all became very vulnerable.

It's not that they have no talent or strength, but that they have the temperament of Rooney, Beckham and others.

Until Ye Qiu saw Phil Jones, what impressed him the most about this Blackburn youth team player was his enthusiasm. He was very young, but he had a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. Temperament, he is always full of fighting spirit on the court, you can beat him, you can beat him, but he will stand up again soon.

This kind of psychological quality, this kind of spiritual temperament, made Ye Qiu think of Terry, Rooney, and Gerrard.

But Phil Jones has many shortcomings of England's rookies, that is, his skills are not fine enough, so Ye Qiu decided to bring him to Tottenham Hotspur early, and at the same time arrange him to enter the first team and let him accompany the team Train so you can supervise and guide anytime, anywhere.

Phil Jones' height is among the defenders in the Premier League, and he can almost be regarded as a disabled person. Compared with Drogba, Ibrahimovic and even Crouch, he is almost the material to be crushed, because he He is shorter than Thiago Silva, even though his body is fast and flexible, and his jumping ability is very good, but the objective difference in height is destined to make it difficult for him to gain a foothold in the central defender position, and he used to be in Blackburn. The team played in midfield, so Ye Qiu placed him in the midfielder position.

Quick reaction, flexible turning, and clean footing are the advantages of Phil Jones, but he also has his own shortcomings, that is, he has not learned how to play the game. Once he gets on the court, he seems to be beaten The same, rampaging everywhere, chasing the ball everywhere, rushing, hitting, just like Terry and Lampard when they were young.

Ye Qiu often told him that he had to learn how to slow down, because according to Phil Jones' style of a young man who is eager to learn, he would only make the pace of the game faster and faster when he played, and finally slow down the opponent. It will also drag yourself to death, and you can't stop it at all.

But this kid understood what he heard, but he completely forgot it when he got to the court.

This reminded Ye Qiu of Ramsey earlier, when he first came to Tottenham Hotspur, he ran around like this, but now he has started to learn how to slow down, how to adapt and assist his teammates, At the same time, how to help the team is a kind of progress, and this kind of progress has greatly improved his performance.

As a guest at Ewood Park at Blackburn, Ye Qiu arranged for Phil Jones to start, and partnered with Cesc Fabregas and David Silva in the midfield. As a result, this kid ran all over the field, fighting all the way from the backcourt to the frontcourt , From the left winger to the right back, from the right back to the left back, and then rushed to the right winger.

Effort is very hard work, diligence is also very hard work, and this kind of running around the field in interception and steals is indeed very effective, but the problem is that while he is disturbing the opponent, he is also disturbing Totten Hotspur's own tactics have seen him block the passing and running routes of his teammates several times.

The most eye-catching moment of the game was that he lost his position in the midfield. Blackburn midfielder David Dunn passed behind and found Manchester United's loaned Blackburn striker Diouf. The latter was fighting for speed with Kompany. Phil Jones used his own speed to forcefully overtake from the sideways, snatched the ball away before the two, but he also fell out of the baseline and hit the billboard on the sidelines.

But soon, this kid jumped up from the sidelines like a cheetah, shrugged his shoulders, as if nothing happened at all, only the face flushed from trying his best left, let The man was very impressed, and then slowly walked back to the court. To him, the action just now seemed to be a very common thing.

Seeing him like this from the sidelines, Ye Qiu shrugged helplessly. He had a love-hate relationship with this England player.

Diouf's speed is considered to be very fast among the strikers in the Premier League. After all, he is an African player. Manchester United took a fancy to his speed back then, but Phil Jones was able to forcibly overtake him and use his body It is indeed surprising that the strong Senegalese man carried it down, but is it a bit too fierce?

"Just said him, look here again, this kid seems to have to do something to stop!"

Mauro Tassotti also laughed out loud. If compared with Yaya Toure, the gap between Phil Jones is too big, but if compared with his peers, he can be comparable to anyone of his age. I know, he is, I am afraid that Terry and Gerrard may not have such a good performance as him.

At the very least, he is not at a disadvantage in the face of this group of powerful adult players who are violent, and he has no fear at all, which shows how good his physical fitness is and how tough his psychological quality is.

"He hasn't learned how to play the game yet, and he hasn't realized where his talent is, and which direction he should tap his potential. He is still groping!"

Of course, Ye Qiu knows that this is a stage that all young players must go through. Maybe Phil Jones doesn't know what he can do now, so he works hard as soon as he comes on the court, and runs around. He feels that he is doing this It is the greatest contribution to the team, but if he really has to wait until he matures and finds his own way in the future, and then look back at the present, he will find how stupid his thoughts are.

But doesn't everyone walk out of stupidity one way?
Just like Ye Qiu, looking back at what he did when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, it was so stupid, but this is life, everyone will definitely go through such a stage!

"Let him continue to charge!" Ye Qiu shook his head and said helplessly, "Let him continue to play in the next game, but, Mauro, the special training must continue, no matter how hard it is, he has to sharpen his technical and tactical awareness now Come here, otherwise with the accumulation of competition experience, it will be difficult to train in the future."

Phil Jones is currently in a stage of groping and shaping. If he doesn’t seize the time to fill in his shortcomings and deficiencies, then he will find his own playing habits and style in the future, and if he wants to improve these Difficult.

This period of time is expected to last about two years, so the next two years are very important for his growth.

"By the way, I thought of a way to practice his header later on. Anyway, he is so energetic, practice it to death!" After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he felt amused.

The method he thought of to train heading is actually very simple, that is, hang a football on a high place like a pendulum, and then hit it with his head, let the football swing back and forth like a pendulum, and then use his head to hit the moving ball Soccer, practice the feeling of heading in motion.

When Mauro Tassotti heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he burst out laughing. He couldn't help giving Ye Qiu a thumbs up, "This trick is perfect. From now on, those who like to make trouble, whoever breaks the discipline, Just let him practice like this in public!"

This is definitely the best way to punish players, but it must also be said that using this to practice headers is indeed not bad, and it can even be extended. Use this pendulum equipment to form a set of special technical intensive training equipment, specifically for different technologies.

Ye Qiu also thought it was funny when he heard it. If Phil Jones became a big name in the future and his header is very good, someone asked, hey, buddy, you are so good at header, how did you practice?

I don't know how he will answer?

…………

Tottenham Hotspur played against Blackburn in an away game and played very unsatisfactorily. Although Cavani finally defeated Blackburn 1-0 in the away game, Tottenham Hotspur did not perform in the whole game Out of the hearty offensive of the past.

The outside media also gave both good and bad comments on Tottenham Hotspur's performance. They believed that the team still had an overwhelming advantage in terms of strength, but the offense was a bit messy. Yaya, who replaced Manchester City, ? Toure starting Phil? Jones is not showing any potential to replace the Ivorian.

At the very least, Yaya Toure's skills and ball handling are very good. He can dribble forward with his explosive power and physical fitness, while Phil Jones is still doing the simplest defense. Dirty and tiring.

Ye Qiu denied this claim from the outside world. He said that Phil Jones performed well.

"I know that many people will compare him with Yaya Toure. I don't deny that Yaya Toure is one of the best midfielders in football today, but what I want to say is that Yaya "Toure is almost 28 and Phil Jones is, I don't think there is any comparison between the two."

"Also, no matter what others say, he will continue to start the next game!"

Many people interpreted Ye Qiu's words as anger, thinking that Ye Qiu was trying to protect his weaknesses and deliberately oppose all the media.

In fact, this really misunderstood Ye Qiu, because consecutive appearances are very important for the growth of a young player, because their basic skills are not problematic. The road to the ball, so they need this continuous appearance to achieve these goals.

That kind of playing a game, interrupting it for a month or two, then playing again, and then interrupting it, is definitely the enemy of young players playing.

Sometimes Ye Qiu really appreciates the Premier League's reserve team competition system, because he can give those substitutes and youth team players who failed to make an appearance in the first team, the chance to play consecutive games, and the reserve team's competition level is not low, because There are many first-team famous stars who play in the reserve team due to injuries or poor condition, which guarantees the reserve team's game level.

Three days later, Tottenham Hotspur ushered in Bolton at their home court.

Ye Qiu really fulfilled his promise this time, Phil Jones continued to start, Tottenham Hotspur performed mediocre again, finally relying on Cesc Fabregas and Eriksson who replaced David Silva The goal, defeated the visiting Bolton 2:1, and the biggest responsibility for the conceded goal was Phil Jones who lost his position.

Ye Qiu noticed all of this, but he emphasized again after the match that the next match would still be Phil Jones.

In the eyes of many media people and reporters, this was simply an act of vindictiveness. The more they criticized Phil Jones, the more Ye Qiu made him start, and it was a continuous start, playing nine or ten minutes.

A week later, Tottenham Hotspur played the black cat Sunderland away. This time the score was still 2:1. There was still Phil Jones in the conceded goal. The main problem was the old problem. , failed to come back in time to protect the line of defense, which resulted in conceding the goal.

But after the game, when a reporter asked Ye Qiu what he thought of Phil Jones's performance as if he was a winner, Ye Qiu still responded with a smile, "He will still start in the next game!"

next game?
The reporters at the scene were all stunned, because the next match was the first round of the Champions League knockout round, away to Rome!
