On January 4th, this year's FA Cup also kicked off.
In fact, the FA Cup has begun in the first half of the season. However, the FA Cup in England is preceded by three rounds of play-offs, followed by the first and second rounds. These games,
These are things that Premier League teams don’t have to think about. Premier League teams directly start playing in the third round of the FA Cup. This has always been the habit of the FA Cup. It also benefits a lot for strong teams.
And Tottenham's luck is even more astonishing. The opponent they encountered in the third round of the FA Cup was Glen Forest Rovers, a fifth-tier team in England.
Most of the teams in the fifth level are semi-professional teams. Most of the players in the teams at this level are young people who have been eliminated from some big teams, or players from low-level teams.
After getting old, I changed my career and played football at the same time. It is difficult for a team of this level to be particularly strong. When they encounter a Premier League team, it is almost the end of their game.
Of course, Li Bin was not careless. He still let Raul be the main starter and lead the youth team to deal with Gran Forest Wanderers. Although generally speaking, teams at this level do not have any particularly outstanding strength, but they cannot guarantee
Maybe they will have one or two particularly outstanding players. Ribery was working part-time as a painter and played football.
Pulsaud played football while repairing cars, and Klose played football while doing carpentry. These people all came up from this level. Although the environment is different, it is difficult for Li Bin to believe that under the England youth training system, low-level
There is a player in the team who is powerful enough to kill everyone, but if you are careful, you will never make a big mistake.
Although Tottenham used most of the youth team, they put Raul and Sturridge at the forward, O'Hara in the midfield, and the youth team defender Caulker at the back.
In the starting lineup, their central axis was far stronger than their opponents, and they played the game effortlessly.
"There is nothing surprising about Tottenham being able to beat Glen Forest Rovers - they would be the favorites if they lose. But the strange thing is that Tottenham are not relying on the individual ability of the players to defeat their opponents.
Instead, we rely on tactical ball control and passing to defeat our opponents, which is really surprising.”
In the game, the most surprising thing was Tottenham's tactical problem. Because most of the players were players in the youth team, in the eyes of many people, this was probably a game won by personal ability, but in the
During the game, he saw Tottenham's tactical layout. After the midfield pass, the commentator was also surprised: Tottenham also crushed their opponents tactically.
"After Chelsea and Manchester City took over with new owners, they both claimed to increase investment and start investing in youth training. However, after so long, their youth training still has no achievements. On the contrary,
Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger and Tottenham’s Li Bin, they didn’t
There is talk of investing heavily in youth training, but the level of their youth training has really improved. The same thing seems to be true of Benitez of Liverpool. The strength of Liverpool's youth training in his hands has also been greatly improved. It seems that
,Excellent coaches are similar in many ways."
What the commentator said is actually not entirely correct: although Arsenal and Tottenham did not clamor for investment, they did not show mercy when they actually invested. Wenger, like Li Bin, immediately took over the team.
He built a new training base, recruited new coaching staff, and gradually reorganized his team's youth training model. As soon as Benitez came up, he even tried his best to poach people in Spain and poached many good coaches.
Speaking of investment, they all invested a lot, but they didn’t
However, their investment is not used to directly buy players, so it is not very conspicuous. Chelsea and Manchester City cannot be said to have made no achievements. Chelsea and Manchester City have introduced young players on a large scale since they started.
They have introduced talented players from all over the world to develop their own youth training careers. The result of this is that Chelsea has become a well-known car rental company in the world. The players they rent out are of such high quality and quantity that they are helpless even when they look at it.
The reason is that because they have money, the coaches put much less thought into youth training. It stands to reason that neither Mancini nor Mourinho knows anything about youth training, but,
England's youth training has been integrated into the bone marrow, and rectification is not something that can be done in a day or two. They have a heavy burden and great responsibilities, so where do they have the time to take care of it?
Li Bin is different. He is a youth training coach. He attaches great importance to these things and is easy to get started. It has been a year and a half since he took over Tottenham, and his reorganization has also produced results.
The current improvement in passing ability of Tottenham players comes from a change: in English football after the age of 12, many trainings are simply playing in the big field, with 11 people playing against 11 people. Playing like this
The ball has no benefit to the players' sense of space, and it also limits the passing ability of the English players. But after Li Bin arrived, he changed this training method and replaced the passing training with small games, which made
The players' coordination ability has improved a lot.
Football training can change many things, especially for youth teams. Slight changes in the training methods of young players can make them improve quickly. However, this kind of change cannot be rushed. Tottenham spent a year
It took half of the time for the players to pass the ball a little bit, and they could play well under the leadership of top players. Li Bin believed that this job would definitely not be suitable for those Chelsea coaches who leave every year.
Will do it.
But the effect of this is very good. Tottenham's youth team players are not bad to begin with. After a year of training, with a good central axis, they can easily win against the fifth-level team and get the
Winning by technical knockout is not difficult at all.
After winning against them, Tottenham made some preparations for the game against Hull City.
Without Yaya Toure in the midfield, Li Bin simply asked Hoddlestone to fill in. Originally, the substitute he prepared for Yaya Toure was Kevin Boateng, but Kevin Boateng also went.
This made Li Bin helpless - the elder brother joined the Ghana team and the younger brother joined the German team. I don't know what they thought.
With the introduction of Hoddlestone, Tottenham's tactics have also undergone some changes. Hoddlestone's insertion ability is not particularly strong, but his long passing skills are excellent. Therefore, Tottenham's tactics are also more compact.
Then, use defensive counterattacks to attack and defend the opponent.
With the strength of Tottenham, it is indeed not something to be proud of when playing against Hull City and having to use defensive counterattacks. However, considering the tight schedule of two-front combat at this stage, Li Bin's choice has played a big role.
The role of the players. The contraction of the players meant that Tottenham did not suffer too much physical loss. Not only that, because of Hoddlestone and Bell, as well as Cavani who could grab points in the penalty area, Tottenham's counterattack was very effective.
Also quite sharp.
Not long after the game started, Hoddlestone relied on a long pass and kicked the ball directly to the left wing. Bell's crazy intervention left the opponent unable to defend. Before he could reach the penalty area, Bell had already passed all the opponents.
The defender formed a one-on-one opportunity. After getting the one-on-one opportunity, Bell did not do it himself. Instead, he passed the ball to Suarez who came up, helping Suarez score the first goal and allowing Suarez to score the first goal.
Tottenham's top scorer is beginning to try to catch up with Drogba in the scorer list.
After the first goal, Suarez immediately returned the favor. In another Tottenham counterattack, Suarez in the middle sent the ball into the penalty area with a through ball. Bell, who inserted on the left wing, succeeded in outflanking the ball from a small angle.
Successfully hit the near corner and scored the second goal.
In the final stage, Sturridge, who was substituted, also scored a goal with the help of forward Heskey, who was also substituted. As a speedy player, he did not have many opportunities, but he was able to seize them.
Taking a chance and scoring a goal is enough to make his name remembered for a while.
"Tottenham's defensive counterattack tactics are very good. In such a short period of time, the hastily established tactics have been very effective. Maybe they should consider using more defensive counterattacks to defeat the enemy in the future."
Regarding the media's comments, Li Bin did not say anything: he knew very well that the media just saw that this way of playing, Holdstone, Bale, Sturridge and even Heskey could perform well, and thought this way of playing was the best.
The words of the English media are really not of a high standard.
Due to make-up reasons, Tottenham did not play in the FA Cup after the game against Hull City, so they took a short break. Then, facing West Ham United, Tottenham won another victory.
.Their opponents are not particularly strong, and Tottenham still use defensive counterattack tactics.
.Although West Ham United learned the lesson of Hull City and did not press immediately, but wanted to score 1 point against Tottenham, but Tottenham did not give them a chance. Bell's free kick goal allowed Tottenham to score.
Stab successfully scored. Although 1-0 was not a good score, it was still 3 points.
At the same time, what makes Li Bin most happy is that in this round, Chelsea, who led the league, finally fell.
The current media is full of all kinds of propaganda. Terry has been described as a heinous villain by the media. In fact, the media has even made up all kinds of little jokes to ridicule Terry Anche.
Lottie wanted to protect Terry and not let him play, but the media immediately said that Chelsea lost because the players remembered to go home and were afraid that Terry would visit their home, and Ashley Cole was going through a divorce.
, and has become a figure on the forefront, because he used to be Asen
He is a traitor to Na, his reputation is not very good, and he has a famous wife, which makes him the focus of ridicule. Without Drogba and Essien, the scandal broke in the media, leaving Ashley Cole and Te
Out of form and under heavy pressure, Chelsea finally had problems and became unsustainable. Even so, the media did not give up and continued to ridicule them. Now the media still insists on conducting in-depth investigations, trying to find out every Chelsea
Check all the players' private lives before talking about it.
No player can maintain his condition when his family and private life are being ridiculed in this way and when the media pays malicious attention. Chelsea is invincible in the league, but when they play against The Sun, they are no match.
Their loss allowed Tottenham to regain the first place in the league standings. Although a one-point lead is not much, it is also the beginning of changes. The media's current concern for them has made Chelsea even more anxious, and
Tottenham's confrontation also became difficult.
At this time, in the face of the increasingly popular Youzhimen scandal, some people began to ask Li Bin for his opinion. In this regard, Li Bin also directly expressed his opinion, "I don't want to talk about these things before the World Cup.
I understand what the English media thinks. No matter how many things wrong Terry has done, he shouldn’t be blamed now. I don’t understand what the media thinks, but no matter how they think, I hope Terry knows that he can persist now, Chelsea
Only then can you play well!"
Li Bin's words caused an uproar in the media: He supports Terry? He has no good intentions, right?
