In the visiting team's locker room at Stamford Bridge, Tottenham players crowded into the seats in the locker room. The atmosphere of the entire team became more and more irritable because of the lagging score and the poor conditions in the room. Like a powder keg about to ignite and explode.
It's no wonder that no matter which club they are, when they decorate the visiting team's locker room, they will make the room as simple as possible so that the visiting team players cannot compete at their best. For example, now, it is clearly mid-September, and the weather in London is still at a relatively suitable level, but at this time, the management staff of Stamford Bridge maliciously turned on the heating in the visiting team's locker room, turning the entire room on. The house was made no different than a stove.
In such an environment, it would be really strange if Tottenham players could still calm down to sum up their gains and losses in the first half, and at the same time come up with ways to deal with Chelsea.
However, although the players can't do it, it doesn't mean that George can't do it either. In other words, through observation of the first half of the game, George had already thought of a way to deal with Ranieri and the Chelsea team in front of him before the game entered the intermission.
After all, George, who has been watching the game from the sidelines, has a completely different perspective from the players. The phrase "the authorities are obsessed with it, and the bystanders know it clearly" is a perfect way to describe the difference between the head coach and the players.
This is why after Gullit and Vialli, there has never been a situation where a player also serves as a head coach in the Premier League. Because as a player and as a head coach, the former has considerable limitations in the perspective of observation, and it is difficult to consider problems from an overall perspective; the latter can better see the problems that the team has in the game and has enough time to think of appropriate countermeasures. [0↑九△小↓说△网] Therefore, for the increasingly fierce modern football, it can be said that it is the general trend to completely separate the two identities of players and head coaches to avoid the situation of someone working part-time.
"It seems that everyone is not in a very good condition right now." Walking into the hot locker room, George frowned at first, a little dissatisfied with Chelsea's little move. But George soon regained his composure. After all, the world is as dark as crows. Even if Chelsea are doing too much now, when they go to White Hart Lane to play, Chelsea players will be treated to the same extent. Therefore, it is really unnecessary to care about this kind of thing: "But there is no way, who told us to play away from home now? So please be patient for the time being, and we can return to the game next weekend. It's time to play at White Hart Lane. Then we can watch our opponents enjoy the same treatment as we do now."
Of course, it is a common phenomenon in football clubs to manipulate the hardware and software facilities of the visiting team's locker room. But everyone generally has a good grasp of this process, and after the game, the visiting team members will not complain too much about it, let alone deliberately turn on the sprinklers to expel the opponent's players after the opponent wins. Things come up. After all, if we do that, then the reputation and image of this club will undoubtedly suffer a very heavy blow, and it will also be regarded as an expression of "cannot afford to lose".
"Boss..." Seeing George walking into the locker room, Tottenham players all looked at him with hopeful eyes. Obviously, after experiencing an ups and downs in the first half and suffering some torture in the dressing room, they all hope that their head coach can come up with an idea so that they can vent their anger on Chelsea.
However, to the surprise of the Tottenham players, George's next sentence was not about the tactical arrangement of the second half: "Sorry everyone, it was my mistake this time. I misjudged the strength gap between us and Chelsea. There should be no defensive counterattack tactics in this game."
For Tottenham, who are in urgent need of a victory to break the league cycle, solving their problem of weak offense in positional warfare is a top priority. Facing Chelsea, who are good at defensive counterattacks, George also used defensive counterattacks to deal with the Blues in this game. I have to say that he made a mistake.
"Boss, how can I blame you for this!" Hearing what George said, Drogba was the first to be unable to sit still, and quickly stood up from his seat to admit his mistake, "If my skills can be better, then The team will not be in the disadvantageous position of being behind at the beginning, and the defensive counterattack tactics you set before the game will not become useless."
"That's right, boss, this is our responsibility and has nothing to do with you." Seeing George admit his tactical mistakes as soon as he entered the door, and then Drogba changed the rhythm like this, even before the game, even if he felt sorry for George The Tottenham players who had some complaints about the arrangement would not say any more blaming words at this time, "If you hadn't made timely adjustments when the team was two goals behind, then we wouldn't have been able to win before the end of the first half." We recovered one point and still have hope of winning.”
"I am the head coach, and it is my job to lead the team well in every game, and I was also the one who misjudged the strength gap between us and Chelsea. Therefore, the team's passive situation in the first half was mainly due to The responsibility still lies with me." Although as a head coach, it is very important to maintain sufficient authority in front of the players, but in George's view, this does not mean that when he makes a mistake, he must put other People were brought in as this scapegoat. Because doing so may arouse dissatisfaction among some players, so retreating in order to advance and apologizing to the players first is a relatively correct response.
After all, most players aren't the kind of people who are good at twisting things around. So as long as George is willing to give them enough respect and benefits, and lead them to achieve tangible results, then the players will wholeheartedly support George's rule at Tottenham.
"Boss, we just accept your apology!" Seeing George's resolute attitude, Ledley King immediately realized that as the captain of Tottenham, he should step forward at this time to bring the topic back on track, " However, please leave any other apology after the game. Now, what we want to know most is, what should we do in the second half of the game?"
"Ledley, just because you said that, I'm not sure I can complete the comeback in the second half." Hearing Ledley King's words, George turned his head and looked at his captain, and immediately understood the opponent Meaning, "I don't know, what are you thinking now? Are you still willing to follow my arrangements as the head coach?"
"No problem, boss! No matter what, we will obey your orders!" Because George's previous apology has eliminated most of the dissatisfaction in the hearts of Tottenham players, and Drogba's proactive admission of mistakes also made the players feel that they themselves In fact, he also made many mistakes, so as soon as George's words came out, he immediately attracted a unanimous response from Tottenham players!
"In that case, then I will talk about how we should play in the second half..." Seeing that people's hearts were ready, George smashed the tactical board in his hand against the small blackboard on the wall and made a "bang" sound. The loud noise startled many people who were not mentally prepared, "Attack! What I ask of you in the second half is to continue to attack! Use offense to suppress Chelsea and strengthen Ranieri's determination to defend! Only in this way can we There is a chance to beat Chelsea and end the three-game winless history in the league!"
After a battle in the first half, George finally figured it out. Ranieri is indeed very skilled in tactics. It is very difficult to surpass him in this aspect and find loopholes. But the problem with Tinker is that he always puts defense as the top priority and starts once he takes the lead. Think about letting the team play defensive counterattack. Therefore, if Tottenham, who are lagging behind, continue to adopt defensive counterattack tactics in the second half, it will be difficult for them to create an opportunity to break Chelsea's goal without investing enough troops on the offensive end.
In this way, in order to equalize or even overtake the score, George must let the team adopt an offensive style in the second half. Moreover, Tottenham using this tactic achieved good results in the second half of the first half, which is one of the main reasons why George dared to do so.
Of course, if Ranieri wants to win by surprise and use attack-on-attack method to deal with Tottenham, then George will be even happier - in that kind of extremely fast-paced attack battle, he is already 35 years old Desailly, whose physical fitness has declined significantly, and Bridge and Johnson, who can't get back assists once they come up, will only make Chelsea's defense problems more obvious, and Tottenham will have more scoring opportunities!
"Gabriel (Heinze), Stephen (Karl), in the second half you have to get more involved in the offense, use offense to suppress Chelsea's wing offensive, and reduce the number of troops they can invest in the counterattack!" After confirming the second half, After the main theme, George began to assign tasks to each player present, "Michael (Carrick), if you still want to prove that you are not the shadow behind Joe Cole, then today is the best opportunity! Give it to me In the second half, you should take on more post-shooting duties. I did ask you to serve as the team's deep-lying playmaker like Pirlo, but I didn't say that you don't even have the power to intervene in the offense. Remember! "
"Remember!" After hearing George's instructions, Carrick nodded heavily. Obviously, although Carrick has an honest and gentle personality and is a completely good guy, he does not want to always be regarded as the shadow of Joe Cole, his peer and former teammate. He also hopes to prove that he is no better than Joe Cole. ·Cole's poor chances.
And now, this opportunity has been placed in front of him by the head coach himself. How could Carrick not seize it?
