After this discussion with Tuchel, George finally decided to let Tuchel, while in charge of Tottenham's youth team, work with old Charlie, Allegri and others to further improve Tottenham's team. Tactical system.
The reason why George did not let Tuchel formulate Tottenham's offensive tactics alone, but asked him to cooperate with Charlie and others to complete a complete tactical system, is because offense and defense have never been two things that can be separated separately. thing. Just like the high-position pressing tactic proposed by Tuchel in order to solve Tottenham's current offensive difficulty in positional battles, from another perspective, it can also be regarded as a defensive tactic. Therefore, it is the most appropriate choice for Tuchel and Charlie to communicate more and tailor a tactical system for Tottenham based on the actual situation.
After all, as the head coach of Tottenham Hotspur, although George must have sufficient tactical knowledge, his main job is to manage the entire team, grasp the general direction of the team's progress, and lead the team to play well. Every game. As for some detailed issues, such as how to implement the idea of high-pressing tactics and how to make players adapt to the new tactical system as soon as possible, those are issues that George’s coach should focus on and solve, and he only needs to care about the final The result is ok.
If George, the head coach, has to do everything himself, then what is the point of him hiring Allegri and others to join the Tottenham coaching staff? Did he just want these future famous coaches to be his puppets and act according to George's instructions to satisfy the psychological needs of his time traveler?
Therefore, when making similar adjustments to the team, the head coach only needs to be responsible for proposing the general direction of improvement and setting a clear goal, and at the same time do a good job of checking, and leave the rest to his subordinates. This is a valuable asset he got from these two famous coaches when he studied under the old Robson and Ferguson.
I have to say that George's luck is quite good. Just when he sent Tuchel, Allegri and others to deal with the team's positional battle problems, the week-long national team match day also arrived as scheduled at this time. As a result, the club competition had to come to an end for the time being. In this way, George and the others will have an extra week to further adjust and adjust the team.
You know, unlike those wealthy clubs that even have international players on the bench, Tottenham Hotspur, which ranked only tenth in the Premier League last season, did not have many players who received call-ups to the national team. Only Petr Cech A few people, including Drogba and Drogba, were called up by their respective national teams. Therefore, while other giant clubs are suffering from the FIFA virus, Tottenham can take this opportunity to rest, sum up the lessons learned from the previous four games, and have enough time to prepare for the next game.
In this way, when the time came to September 13, the entire Tottenham team arrived at Stamford Bridge Stadium in the Kensington-Chelsea district of London on time. Tonight, they will challenge another Premier League club that changed its owners this summer, the Blues Chelsea, nicknamed "Chelsky" by the British media!
After changing the ownership from Ken Bates to Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, Chelsea set off a blue whirlwind in the summer transfer market. With Abramovich's strong support, ruble-wielding Chelsea poached many stars in the transfer market. Real Madrid's main defensive midfielder Makelele, Argentina's leading center Hernan Crespo, Romanian forward Adrian Mutu, and England's talented attacking midfielder Joe Cole, known as the "successor of Gascoigne" Wait, these are all Chelsea's gains this summer.
There is a saying that goes well: If you have food in your hands, you will not panic in your heart. After many years of hard life, Ranieri finally has such a good set of cards in his hand. Even sitting on the bench are a group of international or quasi-international players on standby. Such a reality naturally makes the tinker extremely satisfied. He feels that he has a good chance of leading the Blues to win the club's first Premier League championship trophy in nearly half a century!
Cudicini, Glen Johnson, Terry, Desailly, Bridge, Makelele, Geremi, Lampard, Joe Cole, Mutu and Crespo, this is Chelsea's game The starting eleven!
It can be seen from this starting lineup that although Chelsea's strength has been greatly enhanced this summer, compared with last season, Ranieri has not changed much in his formation and is still defensive. A way to counterattack.
It is precisely because Ranieri's Chelsea is famous for its solid defense in the Premier League, so this time George can just take the opportunity to test the players' training results in the past two weeks. As long as the players show the results of these two weeks of training in the game against Chelsea and are no longer helpless once they are dragged into a positional battle by their opponents like in the previous games, then George will be satisfied.
As for whether he can beat Chelsea and end the team's streak of draws, George is not sure. After all, Chelsea's exchange rate in the summer is much smaller than Tottenham's, but the overall strength is stronger, and the players have not proven that the new tactics designed by Tuchel can effectively solve the problem of weak offensive positional warfare. In addition, The Blues are still playing at home, so Tottenham's chances of winning this game are actually not very high.
Despite this, George decided to experiment with new tactics in this game instead of experimenting with a weak team after beating Chelsea, a strong enemy. Because if we don't take advantage of the team's break-in period to let the players adapt to the new tactics, but wait until the team is ready to take shape before making changes, then Tottenham will inevitably fall into a state of chaos for a period of time. This is not what George wants. have witnessed. Therefore, in order to reduce possible troubles in the future, George finally made this decision.
Therefore, based on the training report submitted by Charlie and others, George made certain adjustments to Tottenham's starting lineup for this game when arranging the starting lineup.
Goalkeeper Petr Cech, the four defenders from left to right are Heinze, Vidic, Ledley King and Stephen Carr, and the midfielders are Bierovka, Carrick, Kompany and St In Peter's four-man combination, Drogba replaced Luca Toni in the forward line and became Robbie Keane's new strike partner.
"Good evening, dear viewers, my name is Andy Gray, and I will be responsible for explaining the focus of this fifth round of the Premier League." Since both Tottenham and Chelsea have been in the limelight in the summer transfer market, and The two clubs have similar backgrounds (both announced changes of ownership this summer, and both have an owner who is willing to spend a lot of money for the team), making this direct confrontation between the two teams attracted the attention of many fans, so Sky TV Their ace commentator Andy Gray was specially arranged to be the commentator for this game, "The starting lineups of the two teams are very similar. It seems that both coaches intend to adopt a defensive and counterattack tactic in this game, so This game is likely to turn into a defensive battle...but this is not good news for us as viewers."
"Andy, although the formations of the two teams are very similar and the playing styles are also very close, I think Chelsea has a better chance of winning." At this time, the England legend appeared in the live broadcast room as a special guest Striker Gary Lineker expressed his opinion, "You know, Chelsea is not only better than Tottenham Hotspur in terms of overall strength, but the Blues now have at least one first-class star on all three lines. Sit in. Compared with Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur's summer signings are mainly young players with potential and powerful players who are not well-known. From this point of view, Tottenham's chances of winning are not very great. "
"Gary (Lineker), I remember you spent the last three years of your playing days at Tottenham. How could you be so unfavorable to your old club?" Regarding Lineker being so unfavorable to Tottenham tonight During the game, Andy Gray felt a little puzzled, "Furthermore, football is not a simple addition and subtraction calculation. Even a strong side is not without a ditch. Therefore, the book strength of the two teams is used to judge the outcome of the game. In terms of the basis, I think it is still very unconvincing.”
"Yes, from an emotional point of view, of course I hope Tottenham Hotspur can win. But my reason tells me that the possibility of Tottenham Hotspur taking away a victory from Stamford Bridge is really too low." His old club, Lineker's expression couldn't help but become a little tangled, "Not to mention the gap in the book strength of the two teams, Tottenham alone has not won at Stamford Bridge since 1990. ball, and maintaining a winless record against the Blues for 11 consecutive seasons, which is enough to bring a lot of psychological shadow to Tottenham. Moreover, even if Tottenham played five games against Chelsea in the 2001-02 season, it was a lot of effort. The Tigers ended their eleven-year winless streak against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup rematch. So far, thirteen full seasons have passed and they still have not defeated the Blues at Stamford Bridge."
You know, there are always some mysterious things on the football field. Just like Tottenham, when their consecutive away games against Chelsea have become a kind of inertia, when they meet Chelsea on the court again, Tottenham will lose first in terms of momentum and psychology. The hope of winning the game will therefore become slim.
"Listening to what you said Gary, I also think Chelsea has a really good chance of winning tonight." Regarding this allusion involving the history of the confrontation between the two clubs, Andy Gray obviously did not remember it as clearly as Lineker. Therefore, after listening to Lineker's narration, Andy Gray couldn't help but feel that it was indeed unrealistic for Tottenham to win a victory at Stamford Bridge: "Coach Nelson is really unlucky. , after a wave of three consecutive draws, they actually ran into Chelsea, whom Tottenham had not won away from home for 13 years. It seems that Tottenham's record of consecutive away wins against Chelsea may be extended by another one after tonight. It’s time.”
Just as Andy Gray and Lineker were talking to each other in the live broadcast room, analyzing the various advantages Chelsea had in this matchup, the players on both sides were already under the leadership of referee Howard Webber. He walked out of the players' tunnel and stepped onto the lawn of Stamford Bridge!
The competition is about to begin!
