Chapter 758 Tonight, Tottenham will fall to the ground!

Ribery's shot from the sky was praised by the media all over the world after the away game against AC Milan. The French scar-faced player's shot completely opened up the situation for Tottenham Hotspur, and this shot also reflected his value as a top superstar, that is, he could lead the team to achieve ideal results at critical moments.

So, after the first round of the knockout round of 16, Ribery's shot from the sky caused a carnival among the media all over the world, and they all compared this shot with the one from the sky played by Zidane in the Champions League final. Although it cannot be compared with the goal in the final in terms of gold content, it is not inferior in beauty.

Tottenham Hotspur drew 1:1 with AC Milan away, which put Tottenham Hotspur in a more promising position to advance. Coincidentally, Manchester United's first round away challenge to Real Madrid was also 1:1.

The two Premier League teams have great hopes of advancing. After the first round of the Champions League round of 16 knockout round, the famous bookmaker Biying gave each team the odds of winning the championship. Tottenham Hotspur is undoubtedly still far ahead, ranking first among all the giants with an odds of 3.30, which once again proves that Tottenham Hotspur is the strongest in the world.

Following Tottenham Hotspur, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Dortmund ranked second to fifth respectively, and Manchester United fell to sixth place with 15.00. Who made them unlucky to draw Real Madrid?

From the odds of winning the championship, we can basically see the strength distribution of several major European teams. Juventus of Serie A ranked seventh, which is the highest among Serie A teams, while AC Milan ranked fourth from the bottom with odds as high as 81.00. From this point, we can also see that almost most fans are not optimistic about this team.

Perhaps influenced by the first round of the knockout round of the 16th round, after returning to London from Milan, Ye Qiu arranged a substitute lineup to go north to Manchester to challenge Manchester City away. As a result, he defeated Manchester City, who had sent all the main players, 1:0 away.

Neymar scored the only goal for Tottenham Hotspur, helping the team to advance to the quarterfinals.

Ye Qiu was somewhat surprised by Manchester City's poor performance in this game. After the game, the Manchester Evening News also exclusively disclosed that Mancini had lost control of the Manchester City locker room and was not far from being dismissed.

Manchester City's performance in the last season was indeed impressive, but after the start of this season, Manchester City failed to continue the glory of the previous season, but instead experienced a considerable decline. In addition, Mancini himself was unable to lead the team to achieve a breakthrough in the group stage in the Champions League, and his own ability was also criticized.

In this case, more and more contradictions and problems in the team surfaced.

It is reported that the head coach that Manchester City prefers most is former Barcelona head coach Guardiola. This head coach has been frequently linked to the Premier League recently. In the past six months or so, he has often appeared in major Premier League stadiums. He is no stranger to the Premier League and has also revealed his ambition and ideas to take over the Premier League.

However, Guardiola was previously rumored to take over Ferguson, although he has denied it, but who knows if it will happen?

In addition to Guardiola, it is reported that Pellegrini, the head coach who is currently in conflict with Real Madrid, may leave the team this summer, and Manchester City also wants to bring this head coach who has excellent results in La Liga and has a certain ornamental style of play to the city stadium.

But if you want to get Pellegrini, you have to see how Real Madrid progresses in poaching Ancelotti from Newcastle. Once Real Madrid succeeds in poaching, Pellegrini is likely to switch to Manchester City.

In addition to the above-mentioned teams, there is another team whose coaching position is currently attracting attention from the outside world. That is, after Ferguson is determined to retire, who will take over the Manchester United coaching position? Although the biggest favorite is still Guardiola, Moyes has become the biggest favorite candidate when the Spaniard has denied it.

But there are also relatively stable ones, not to mention Tottenham Hotspur. Although Ye Qiu is going to retire, he has made it clear that he will make all arrangements, and many news channels have gradually shown that the chief assistant coach Mauro Tassotti will take over the team.

According to the news disclosed by the media and the few words revealed by Tottenham Hotspur players in interviews, the outside world is still very sure of Mauro Tassotti's ability. This coach is one of the founders of Tottenham Hotspur's entire tactical system and Ye Qiu's number one assistant. He has a typical Italian strong tactical background, coupled with a group of outstanding assistants, making Mauro Tassotti's succession a matter of course.

At least Ferguson once publicly stated that Ye Qiu did much better than him in this regard, because several assistants he promoted with great effort were ultimately unable to take over his job, but Mauro Tassotti, who Ye Qiu focused on cultivating, did a good job in this regard, and he was also deeply impressed by this young Italian coach.

The coaches who have relatively stable positions include Liverpool's Benítez and West Ham United's Ranieri. The former currently occupies the second place in the league, with good results, but the results in the European competition are slightly worse, but Benítez said that the team will achieve a breakthrough in the European competition in the next season. As for Ranieri, the results of West Ham United led by him are also pretty good.

Mourinho, who was highly expected to take office this summer, still has to rely on Manchester City if Chelsea wants to compete for the top four in the league this season. This is why Manchester City has always supported Mancini. They don't want to affect the team's performance due to premature coaching changes, and then lose the qualification for the Champions League next season.

Today's Premier League is full of strong teams and stars. If you are not careful, anyone may fall into an irreversible situation. This is also the reason why Ferguson hesitated about Moyes taking over the team.

Tottenham Hotspur's substitute team defeated Manchester City in the FA Cup away game, but Chelsea swept Bradford in the English League 5:0 in the League Cup final and won the League Cup. This is also the first championship trophy Mourinho has won since returning to the Premier League. Although it is tasteless, it is also a great encouragement.

After the game, Mourinho further encouraged the team to use this morale to rush into the top four in the league.

After a week of rest, Tottenham Hotspur challenged West Ham United away.

Some people say that West Ham United's hatred for Tottenham Hotspur will last for a hundred years, because the fans of the Hammers only need to look at their own Upton Park Stadium and then look at the beautiful Stratford Stadium four kilometers away, and the mood gap will naturally give rise to hatred.

Many West Ham United's diehard fans use Facebook, Weibo, WeChat and other social tools of Ye Technology, and form communities on them, calling for a boycott of Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur. Their most common slogan is, "We want our children and grandchildren to know that it was the Tottenham Hotspur gang that occupied our new stadium!"

West Ham United fans do have enough reasons to look at the problem this way, because the original intention of the London Olympics was to transform East London, and West Ham United happened to be in East London, and if Tottenham Hotspur hadn't intervened, Stratford Stadium would eventually fall into the hands of West Ham United.

For the Hammers, this is simply a good play of getting something for nothing!

But the problem is that now the happy ending of the prince and princess flying together has not appeared, and a third party suddenly appeared between them, so West Ham United fans naturally hate Tottenham Hotspur.

Some media even joked that the more West Ham United fans want the championship, the more they hate Tottenham Hotspur.

And you have to know that this team has never won the Premier League championship in history. The peak of their history was a European Cup Winners' Cup in 1965, and in domestic competitions, their most glorious is the three FA Cup championships decades ago, that's all.

It can be imagined that West Ham United's hatred for Tottenham Hotspur is not just because of a stadium, but because they not only lost the stadium and lost the ladder to become tall, rich and handsome, but also because they suddenly felt that there was a glamorous neighbor next to their shabby self, which made them jealous and hateful.

You are doing well in North London, why do you have to go south to East London to compete with us losers for food? Do you still have any shame?

Because there is such a deep hatred between the two teams, the confrontation between Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United every season is often very hot, especially when visiting Upton Park, there will always be some moths, so every derby will give the London Police a big headache.

However, from the overall record and strength, Tottenham Hotspur still has a great advantage, so in the past few years, Tottenham Hotspur has almost an overwhelming advantage in the overall performance, and this game is no exception.

Just thirteen minutes into the game, Messi helped Tottenham Hotspur score, but in the 35th minute, former Tottenham Hotspur center Carroll equalized the score for West Ham United, but in the second half, Cavani and Messi scored successively, and finally helped Tottenham Hotspur beat West Ham United 3:1.

Ranieri's team is indeed in big trouble now. The team's metabolism has problems. For example, veterans such as Eto'o, Lucio, and Carvalho have been overwhelmed, especially Lucio and Carvalho, the central defender combination that once helped West Ham United almost enter the top four of the league. Now they are already old.

This is also related to the fact that when West Ham United was formed, they did not consider long-term configuration. At that time, the Hammers were more concerned about fame, so they introduced veterans such as Lucio and Carvalho, but they ignored one point. When the team's frontcourt integrated combat effectiveness, the back line had problems.

After playing West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur ushered in a home game against Arsenal after a week of rest.

With both strength and combat effectiveness overwhelming the opponent, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Arsenal 2:0 without any suspense.

Tottenham Hotspur continues to be invincible in the Premier League, but Benítez's Liverpool is not inferior. In the past two rounds, they defeated Swansea 5:0 and Wigan Athletic 4:0 respectively, scoring nine goals in two rounds and conceding no goals, closely following Tottenham Hotspur.

The five-point gap can't stop the Reds' hunger for the league title. After losing the Champions League, Benítez's team will do its best to compete for the Premier League. One game a week allows Liverpool to focus more on the league and wait for Tottenham Hotspur to make mistakes.

But Tottenham Hotspur did not have no chance at all. After beating Arsenal in the 28th round, they ushered in Liverpool in the 29th round. But the problem was that there was a Champions League 16 match against AC Milan in between. A strong knockout match.

…………

…………

When Allegri led the team to London, he felt that on his shoulders were not only the hopes of AC Milan fans, but also the expectations of countless football professionals, which made him feel a sense of mission.

In the first round, AC Milan's defense against Tottenham Hotspur was quite good. Most of the goals conceded should be regarded as mistakes in set-piece defense, but Ribery's extraordinary kick was too great. It was amazing, covering up Tottenham Hotspur's embarrassment and unbearable situation. Otherwise, AC Milan would have defeated Tottenham Hotspur in this game.

Fans may still be immersed in the past glory of Tottenham Hotspur's invincibility, but professionals can see that Tottenham Hotspur's current front is too wide and they want to win in the league, Champions League and cup. Among them, Ye Qiu's ambitions are too great, but the team's lineup and strength cannot keep up. Coupled with some injuries and fatigue, it is often difficult for Tottenham Hotspur to cope with some devilish schedules.

Another point is that the competition in the Premier League is too fierce. Tottenham Hotspur has faced championship opponents such as Newcastle, West Ham United, Arsenal and Liverpool in succession, and they have to play two more Champions League games in the middle. This is definitely a challenge for any player. A nightmare for the team.

This time, Allegri was very ambitious. He wanted to use two rounds to show everyone that Tottenham Hotspur were not invincible, and Ye Qiu, whom they encouraged, would also suffer a disastrous defeat one day. , he wants to avenge his past humiliation.

Even now, two weeks have passed, but there are still many fans and media using his mistakes in the first round to ridicule and ridicule him. This makes him hate Ye Qiu very much in his heart, because it was Ye Qiu who revealed the truth. his scar.

For him, this game is not only about leading AC Milan to advance, but more importantly, he wants to defeat Ye Qiu in an honest and fair manner, right at the White Hart Lane stadium where he is most proud of!

The first round is 1:1. This is a dilemma for both sides, because you can’t guess what the other side is thinking, and you don’t know what kind of tactics the other side will play in the opening game. What kind of layout the game will take, everything can only be guessed.

But Allegri had his own ideas. He felt that simply wanting to defend at White Hart Lane would not work. For AC Milan, Tottenham Hotspur was given an away goal at home. , then they must also score an away goal in the away game, so that it is safer.

And once the away team scores a goal first, they can also take the initiative in the game.

Of course, you can't take too many risks, so Allegri arranged a 451 formation for this game. He still arranged a configuration of five midfielders, but he made some adjustments in the starting tactics.

"We have to attack after the opening game. If we play Tottenham Hotspur away from home, we will definitely not be able to defend. We must add offensive threats to contain Tottenham Hotspur, so we have to grab a shot after the opening game!"

Allegri arranged the final starting tactics in the locker room before the game. In this game, he basically followed the first round match between the two sides. After all, this lineup has already played against Tottenham Hotspur. game experience.

"After the opening, we have to attack appropriately and actively use Pirlo's single defensive midfielder. Both Boateng and Niang press forward. The key point is to cut off the connection between the opponent's two central defenders and Pirlo and disrupt the situation. Their deployment after the opening should suppress their enthusiasm in the opening and prevent them from attacking threateningly.”

Everyone in the locker room listened carefully to Allegri's analysis. After the first round, they all found that Allegri's method was very effective against Tottenham Hotspur.

This also indirectly cites another point, that is, almost all Italian head coaches are masters of tactics.

"The opening attack is just a way for us to contain Tottenham Hotspur. Once the time is right, if we can score an away goal, then we will adopt the same style of play in the first round and retreat, and Boateng will return Our right wing, help Flamini defend the right wing, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack!”

Allegri's arrangement is still very targeted, especially considering that Tottenham Hotspur are playing at home and it is impossible to defend blindly, so in turn, attacking at the beginning may have a surprise effect. The effect, and he is not the kind of reckless man who likes to hang his head on his waist. He also knows that when playing against Tottenham Hotspur, you can't be reckless, you have to be smart.

After all, he still knows Pirlo very well. He is very aware of the current shortcomings of the Italian veteran. He also knows very well that after Tottenham Hotspur lost Pirlo in the first round, the entire midfield organization was in trouble. This key game In the battle, Ye Qiu will definitely arrange for Pirlo to start.

At least, Pirlo did not appear when playing against Arsenal, and the purpose must be to prepare for this battle.

Let Niang, Boateng and Shaarawy appear on the front line at the same time. This move is very risky, but it can effectively cut off the connection between Pirlo and the two central defenders, and if Boateng can be used to entangle Pirlo , causing Tottenham Hotspur's midfield to lose order, then AC Milan's chances of this game will be much greater.

In the final analysis, this still needs to make use of Tottenham's single defensive midfielder!

And Allegri did not ignore the problem of Tottenham's single defensive midfielder, but ignored the need to protect Ambrosini, so he asked Flamini to mainly protect Ambrosini.

"Everyone!" After analyzing the pre-match tactics, Allegri made the final general mobilization, "Tonight's battle at White Hart Lane has attracted worldwide attention. Countless fans are watching you. They all hope that you can accomplish a feat tonight, that is, to kill Tottenham!"

"I am confident that Tottenham will fall to the ground tonight!"
