The first game was against a team like Celtic, which made the whole Tottenham slightly excited.
As a giant team in the Scottish Premiership, the Celtics' strength is very average in Li Bin's eyes - if he still had Parma from last season, he would even dare to let the players go without any preparation before the game.
Let's play, and we will win no matter how we play. However, now he does not have the Parma of last season in his hands, and Tottenham is just a start-up, so he has to make arrangements for the team himself.
"In this game, the players who played are Neuer, Kolarov, Ledley King, Thiago Silva, Piszczek..."
The next name is his own - Bell knows this very well.
There are some things about the team that are different from last season. In the past, their coaches rarely asked them to gather three hours before the game, have a unified meal, rest after the meal, and then announce the lineup. But now, Li Bin
He did this, and during his rest time
, went to the players one by one, and told everyone in private who should play and who would not play. Although Li Bin did not say this in front of Bell, he just told him that he could start, but Bell had already learned from his teammates in private.
We saw that they had all been notified.
Notifying who will play before the game is a matter of habit, in order to prevent the media and players' agents from getting too involved. But before that, not every coach thinks of greeting the players privately.
Even though he knew that he was just one of countless people, Bell was very happy, because he knew that what Li Bin said to him could not be said to everyone. This meant that he had really thought about himself, as a
What more can you ask for from a player?
"You must play well in this game. Don't worry about failure, don't worry about not performing well, it doesn't matter. I don't care whether I win the game or not. Generally, when a coach arrives at a new team, the first thing he thinks about is the game.
How to win the first few games, and trust the veterans more for this - but don't worry, I won't do that. I hope we can build a football club, a good age group, and at the same time, let our players
See
They are working hard. You are the youngest among us, and you are a local player. The fans will be happy when they see you play. This will greatly improve our morale. This is enough. As for
You can take some time to adapt to your performance in the game - don't say it's just a friendly match, even if the league starts, you can take your time. If you can play at a high level before October, you have completed the task.
Okay, how's it going?"
Bell was very satisfied with Li Bin's entrustment to him. Bell had never been treated like this before. At Southampton, he was a talented player, and there were high hopes for him every time he played. At Tottenham, he was
The guy who is holding back, every time he comes on the field, people think
That is to say: Is this guy going to hit the lower limit again today... Like this, there has never been a time when the coach came to tell him his importance in advance and did not require him to perform very well. This is also
It made him feel somewhat rare and relaxed.
I hope this kind of ease will still be useful when I get to the court.
Last season, Bale played very poorly. As a left-back for a season, he never won a game. When he was at Southampton, his skills were praised by the entire Premier League, and people believed that he was a future star.
, all believed that he would be the best left back in the world in the future. At that time, in order to compete for his ownership, Tottenham would bid with Manchester United, and finally beat Manchester United to buy him with an advantage of 1 million.
But in the Premier League, he couldn't get better no matter how he played. His lack of active defense became his huge weakness, and he couldn't make up for it no matter how he did it.
However, Li Bin will not let him play as a full-back now - he admitted that after hearing the news, apart from the initial shock, the rest was all joy. Li Bin gave him a new training
The tactical arrangement allowed him to better utilize his advantages instead of forcibly making up for his problem of not returning to defense, which made Bell quite satisfied.
"I have always believed that skills can be honed, but there is still no way to forcefully reverse some of the habits of playing football. Your offensive skills can be turned into good things - as long as you practice your skills better, you will definitely be better.
No problem."
Bell agreed very much with what Li Bin said: The championship coach is really different. He can make me so happy and at the same time play a role.
During this period of time, the team seems to have changed a lot, and all the changes are for the better. Maybe Tottenham's spring has really arrived?
"...Forward line, Cavani, Darren Bent. Okay, this is our arrangement, let's go on the field and let our opponents know that we are completely different now from before!"
We are completely different - in this regard, Bell secretly clenched his fists: We have become stronger now!
------------------------------------------
"Has the game started more than ten minutes ago? I have to say, maybe you are right, I don't know much about football, but watching this game, I can also feel that Tottenham is much stronger now than before.
It seems like we have changed a lot from last season, right?"
The start of the game was not particularly long, and Tottenham's start was not particularly good. Because this was the first time they officially played with a new formation in the game, they also had some difficulty in cooperating at the beginning.
The opponent almost scored a goal. However, as time went by, they gradually got better, and this improvement was obvious.
However, Joe Lewis has already felt that Tottenham is different from the past when playing football. Now Tottenham's passing is obviously much more skillful than last season. When they play, the ball comes every time.
At their feet, the players are much more relaxed in the process of catching the ball, running and passing the ball. They no longer have the limitation of being pressed by the opponent at any time and losing the ball at any time. On the contrary, after they control the situation, Kyle
The special people are oppressed by them and have nothing to lose.
It improved, and Tottenham's long passes continued to tear apart the Celtics' defense, making the Celtics players exhausted on both ends of the offense and defense. This made Joe Lewis not so good.
People watching the game all saw that it was huge
The difference is that the current Tottenham play is quite a bit like their old enemy Arsenal. The passing control is quite good, fluent and simple. This is something that the previous Tottenham could not do, but what is the specific difference?
, and he couldn't tell.
"The changes have been huge. The central defenders are far apart, and the defensive midfielders and wide players have retreated very deep, which increases the possibility of passing the ball. And I didn't expect that the wings retreated 10 meters.
Left and right, the impact distance is ten meters longer, and with this ten-meter space, it is much easier to make large-scale transfers. This is why I
The reason why we can now calmly mobilize a wide range of movements to make opponents run. When it comes to defense, the midfielder is near the center circle and his position does not exceed the midfield arc. This can force the opponent's touch speed and organizational smoothness.
Forcing the opponent to engage in one-on-one head-on attack and defense with us... He is quite confident in his players."
Another person sitting in the box, the famous Tottenham player Souness spoke.
As a Tottenham star, he was extremely keen to become the new coach of Tottenham in the summer. As a coach who has coached many teams such as Liverpool, Tottenham, and Ben Lakeburn, he believes that he has the ability.
But in the end, Tottenham chose Li Bin, and he had nothing to say at the time.
Said, but he is not particularly convinced, especially since Tottenham thinks that he has played in Italy and can speak Italian. He is even less happy when they hope that he will return to the club to work. But now, after watching the game for ten minutes
, he also felt that Tottenham was different from before.
On the defensive end, the focus is on forcing the opponent's core, with one-on-one ability as the most important reliance. In the offensive phase, defenders are used to open up gaps, more backcourt passes are added to maintain stability, and large-scale long passes are used as a means to tear apart the opponent.
, which not only increases the control, but also takes care of the weakness of Tottenham's English players who do not know how to pass through. In addition, the training of the players' running positions enhances the players' passing and receiving abilities. These ideas,
They all made him marvel.
English football has the advantage of long passes and strong frontal defense. People have always known these two points, but they may not be able to take advantage of them. Li Bin took over not long ago, but in such a short time, he has already taken over the ball.
The team's ideas were all sorted out. They used the controlled play of Latin football, combined with the long pass and frontal interception of English football. They could combine it so well, which made him exclaim "Exquisite" - champion coach
, and sure enough there are two brushes.
"I have to say, Daniel, this coach is good. Not all coaches from Asia are trash." Souness looked at the scene, but he was still a little unconvinced. "The problem is, there are still no goals. I have control."
It's a good thing, but we can't kill the passion, right? So far, we haven't even scored a goal."
Levi didn't say a word, but his eyes were fixed on a group of people in the stands - you could tell at a glance that they were reporters, people who wanted to report on Li Bin's first game.
Li Bin chose Tottenham, and now Tottenham is being stared at by many pairs of eyes. They all want to see what Li Bin can achieve as a big-name coach. This game is a friendly match and is not broadcast by the media.
, but when it comes to importance, it’s not bad at all, so there can’t be any problems.
Just when Levi was anxious, Tottenham had already launched an attack.
Football is a direct offensive launched by Thiago Silva - after receiving a back pass, he kicked the ball directly to the left with a long pass. Bell, who was on the left, received the ball.
At the first moment, he took a big step to reach the ball, and then ran away. Tottenham, who was still passing the ball in the backcourt, in an instant, pressed forward as a whole. The Celtics' back line wanted to
They quickly retreated, but before they could make any moves, Bell rushed to the edge of the penalty area!
Came so fast!
This is almost the first thought that comes into the mind of every fan watching the game. Bell's sprint does not have much technical content. Even every time he plays the ball, he will kick the ball very far. He cannot be called human at all.
The ball becomes one. However, what if the man and the ball cannot become one? The ball rolls faster than the opponent's defender, and he also runs faster than the opponent's defender. This is simply an unreasonable and raw kicking method, but it is enough to defeat the opponent.
There is nothing you can do!
However, they had no time to marvel at Bell's breakthrough speed, because Bell had already made a pass and kicked the ball out!
The arc is very good, the ball speed is fast, and the landing point is also very good... In the midfield, Cavani has rushed up quickly, shook his head suddenly, and headed the ball into the goal!
"gooooal!"
The moment the goal was scored, the entire stands cheered - Tottenham definitely got more than just a scene, they also got one goal opportunity after another!
