Golden Greenery

Manchester City is full of injured soldiers, and so is Tottenham.

Uncle Po is perhaps the most proficient coach in using the three-centre-back + two-wing-back tactic today. In the first half of the Champions League group stage, he defeated Real Madrid Dortmund and beat Liverpool 4:1 in the Premier League. These are vivid examples of Tottenham's proper tactics.

The reason why three central defenders + two wing defenders are popular is because today's football world is playing an offensive trident. This is an evolution of spear and shield.

The three central defenders can maximize the space in the ribs, while the integration of the wing-backs and midfielders can limit the movement space of the trident to the maximum extent. Especially when the midfield strength is not dominant, the opponent has a top killer who can kill his throat, and there is a first-class inside forward behind the trident, three central defenders + two wing backs are the most perfect countermeasure in theory.

But as the season progressed, Wanyama, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Aurier, Dier, Lamela, Rose, etc. were successively troubled by injuries. When they walked in front of Manchester City, some had just recovered from their injuries, and some Still lying down.

Uncle Bo doesn't have as rich a bench as Lao Gua, and injuries prevent him from having the tactical support of three central defenders and two wing defenders. After all, this gameplay requires too much of the player's personal ability and tactical literacy, and even Lao Gua no longer tries it easily.

If you can't play with three central defenders + two wing-backs, don't force it. After several draws and losses at the end of last year, Tottenham returned to a 4-4-2 parallel position, but Uncle Bo did not give up his whimsical idea. He put Son Heung-min away. Went to the center of the forward line.

The offensive trident is a complete offensive system, not just three people. Tottenham have Kane, Son Heung-min and Alli at the front, but they are either a trident or a simple 4-4-2. Ali and Eriksen are actually double attacking midfielders, but Eriksen has greater depth of movement.

In the previous tactics, Kane was in the middle. After all, the Premier League's number one center, Son Heung-min, was responsible for wing attacks and inside cuts. In many cases, he did Bell's job before.

But Bell is a master who has the ball at his feet, while Son Heung-min's off-ball movement is much better, and he is never greedy for the ball. Putting him on the wing is a bit overkill.

Harry Kane is undoubtedly one of the most efficient shooters today, but like Son Heung-min, his football skills have become more comprehensive as he grows older. Kane has evolved from a unilateral attacker to an all-around striker.

As long as it has to do with offense, Kane is first-class excellent. Confining him in the middle will also obliterate his talent.

As a result, Uncle Bo had an idea. Son Heung-min now appears more in the middle, while Kane moves freely on both sides and in depth.

By analogy, Son Heung-min is now Tottenham's Benzema, who was actually on the wing when he debuted.

Kane is not Cristiano Ronaldo. The number one goal scorer in the world cannot be imitated by others. Uncle Bo uses Kane as Zhuo Yang.

It used to be Kane + Son Heung-min, but now it's Zhuo Yang + Benzema. Tottenham's striker has undoubtedly been upgraded. That's why there was a second recovery in January, and Manchester United tied with Liverpool in February.

But this will also cause new problems to arise. Kane and Son Heung-min are maximized, resulting in a 1+1\u003e2 effect, but the support requirements for the midfielder also become higher.

Juventus's frontcourt tactics are similar to Tottenham's. Uncle Juan is equipped with Meng Er, He Lian and Pia in the midfield, as well as Gou Sheng and Cuadrado on the wings. Tottenham obviously does not have such a luxurious midfield combination.

Uncle Bo's solution is a one-stop combination of double attacking midfielders + full-backs.

This is actually a passionate and life-threatening style of play, it depends on who is the fastest and most accurate.

Today, Tottenham have two attacking midfielders, Eriksen and Alli, and two full-backs, Trippier and Rose. All four of them are quite outstanding talents.

Eriksen came to Tottenham to replace the Magic Flute. Although Ali is not a lily-white player with a bright and mature career, he has become the prince of Tottenham.

Rose was the top left back in the Premier League last season, a ruthless character that Manchester City wanted to poach but could not get. The reason Tottenham was willing to sell Walker to Manchester City was because of Trippier.

These four are obviously not ordinary people, but bad things happened to Tottenham today.

Zhuo Yang opened the scoring with a header, achieving a kill against the entire Premier League. Tottenham itself plays a desperate style, and after falling behind, it becomes even more desperate.

In order to provide strong support to the midfield, Trippier and Rose should have been a one-stop player on the wing, but they ignored their heads and directly transformed into midfielders and even wingers.

As a result, Tottenham's two central defenders face an empty defensive line that is farther away than the distance between London and Manchester.

On the other hand, Manchester City has a back four, but Aymeric Laporte, who plays as a left back, is a top center back. He and Walker on the right will never enter the Tottenham penalty area at the same time, but must play one behind the other. One assists, and the other is always ready to fill the hole for the single defensive midfielder.

In this way, Tottenham's frontcourt offense is as vigorous as Manchester City's, but in reality it is all thunderous, and it is difficult to threaten Ederson.

Manchester City, on the other hand, made Dier and Vertonghen want to cry, and beat Lloris until he wanted to die.

The ball possession rate was 53% to 47%, and the two sides were evenly matched, but the shooting ratio in the first half was 11:3, indicating a clear difference in offensive efficiency. If Lloris hadn't habitually cheated against Manchester City, Tottenham would have died.

In the 44th minute, Zhuo Yang took the ball from the left, cut into the penalty area from Tottenham's touching ribs, and suddenly shot aside Dell. Lloris fell down in a sudden death style and slapped the football with both palms.

Seat B on the other side followed up with a follow-up shot. Lloris was so stunned that he made another fake corpse-style flat shot. It was not clear which part he used to deflect the ball again.

Zhuoyang and B Xi looked at each other and saw the hatred for Loris in each other's eyes.

Tottenham's empty defense destined them to only focus on eating rather than fighting.

A minute later, Zhuo Yang made a comeback unchanged, still counterattacking from behind Trippier who was out of position, and then cut into the virtual ribs.

Facing Dell, he dodged again, making him think that he was going to dodge and shoot again. In fact, it was a fake move of false right and real left, and then wiped downwards.

Dell suffered a huge loss, and his focus on fraud was thrown to the ground as if it had been swept three ways by an invisible man with a low whip.

When it comes to learning lessons, Tottenham still have them, Vertonghen does. He was always ready to make up for Dell's position and close the door. In the blink of an eye, he rushed forward and shoveled diagonally.

Zhuoyang's foot speed is faster than Vertonghen, so he did not scoop the football, but just tripped Zhuoyang like Dell.

The referee's whistle sounded, and Vertonghen received a yellow point package.

Zhuoyang was very dissatisfied. He just knew that Vertonghen had made up for it, but he thought that this guy could only eat ashes, but he didn't expect that he was also continuing to improve. His tackle speed was not shabby at all, and the ball passed people but didn't.

So Zhuoyang was a little annoyed when he fell unprepared.

Among Belgium's three major central defenders, Vertonghen is slightly inferior to Vermaelen and Kompany in terms of overall strength, but those two are sick, and Vertonghen is far superior in terms of stability.

Zhuoyang jumped up from the ground and angrily scolded Vertonghen: "Fuck you, do you know how to play football?"

Vertonghen was so confused: I knew it was a foul, but wasn’t I unpretentious? Besides, the movements are clean. If you kick me in the calf, I'm afraid it will hurt me more than you do.

As soon as he was stunned, Zhuo Yang choked him.

Before the Tottenham people could react, Feiniao and Ding Ding rushed up first. Feiniao hugged Zhuo Yang, while Ding Ding grabbed his arm and muttered: "Brother Zhuo, calm down, forget it.

Firstly, Vertonghen and he are teammates of the national team and have a good relationship. Secondly, Guardiola told him and Fernando: Zhuoyang has a bad temper. When he makes mistakes on the court, you two should persuade him. Otherwise, if he gets into trouble, I'll make it hard for both of you.

Zhuo Yang had already calmed down. His temper caused by embarrassment and anger disappeared as quickly as it came. The fight between Ding Ding and Fei Niao was just enough for him to get off the mountain and let out a pretentious 'Humph! ’ After that, it was time to take the penalty kick.

Suddenly, I heard Loris yelling angrily: "Who the hell are you pretending to be? You bitch, if you can't play anymore, go back to Asia as soon as possible."

Zhuo Yang's eyes flickered, murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
