Chapter 339 A nest for you two!

"This Tottenham team probably still can't beat Chelsea."

Lineker's voice rang out in the Sky Sports studio.

And then, the former England legendary striker even sighed.

Chelsea star Zola was still invited to the studio today, but another Tottenham star was not invited as usual.

that is because--

Lineker himself is a Tottenham veteran!

In June 1989, Lineker was called by his mentor Venables and moved to Tottenham Hotspur for £1.2 million.

In three seasons at Tottenham, he scored 77 goals in 105 league games and won the FA Cup with the team in 1991.

Therefore, there is absolutely no problem in saying that Lineker is a Tottenham star.

"Although it can be seen that Pochettino did a lot of detailed research on Pan Yi's formation and made a good response in this game, Pan Yi seems to have little regard for Pochettino's changes.

I have already made my own preparations.”

Lineker continued his analysis:

"Chelsea's offense is very rhythmic and has a very good level, and it will not be disrupted by steals."

"In the goal just now, after Hazard was collided, Lukaku in the center immediately came to press. At this time, Chelsea's entire formation tilted this way, which meant that a large number of troops were injected here."

"This shows that Chelsea has already made a plan for such an attack. The moment the ball is intercepted, they must immediately concentrate on counterattack and secondary attack."

"Obviously this is a very correct strategy, because at this time Tottenham's players are in a state of counterattack after stealing the ball. At this time, the ball changes hands again, which makes Tottenham's defense very unstable.

"

"After Lukaku got the ball, he immediately passed it to Bernardo Silva, who came to the gap in the ribs to connect, and then there was a good cooperation between Lukaku and Kanter.

He also ran into the gap between Tottenham's two central defenders, got a single chance and scored."

Alan Shearer also agreed with Lineker's analysis and said:

"Yes. Chelsea's pressing in the frontcourt can be said to be the team with the strongest sense of hierarchy."

"I don't know if you have noticed that after Hazard was intercepted, except for Lukaku and Bernardo Silva on the front line who immediately came to press, all Chelsea players in the midfield and frontcourt were involved.

A clear forward pressing movement."

"This kind of movement means more backhands for Chelsea. Even if Lukaku fails to press this time and Dell can get the ball out, the Tottenham player who receives the ball will immediately face more pressing, and the chance of conceding the ball will still be

Very big.”

"Unless Tottenham chooses to make a large-scale transfer, it may be possible to break Chelsea's sophisticated frontcourt press, but there are only a few players with this ability, at least not Dell."

"Of course, I can also reasonably guess that if the ball is held by a world-class player who is better at penetrating passes, Pan Yi may have another strategy to deal with it..."

Lineker laughed again and said: "You said before that if you play in the current Chelsea team, you will definitely not be able to play as the main force. And what I want to say is that if a forward like me who does not defend comes,

He must have been kicked back to his hometown by Pan Yi during the trial training..."

This is an affirmation of Pan Yi's comprehensive playing style as a Chelsea center forward.

After all, Lineker is not only the English Footballer of the Year, nor is he the top scorer in the World Cup.

He is a very prolific shooter!

In fact, in the 12 seasons from 1981 to 1992, Lineker actually scored less than 15 goals in only one year, and that was the year when he played as a right midfielder instead of a forward at Barcelona.

Forwards with such efficiency say that they cannot get into Pan Yi's eyes, which shows how high Pan Yi's requirements are for forwards.

As we all know, Lineker also has a proud record of never receiving a yellow card or red card in his entire career, for which he has been nicknamed "Mr. Innocent" and "Football Gentleman".

However, this is somewhat related to the fact that he serves as a forward and rarely participates in defense.

After all, in the 1980s and 1990s, forwards rarely participated in defense.

In other words, even at a later stage, forwards still focus on scoring goals.

Can you imagine forwards like Ronaldo and Romario running around the field every day staring at other defenders rushing to grab the ball?

Let’s put it this way, even if you ask Romario to run a few more steps, he will lose! The same is true for "Chivalrous Brother" Berbatov.

Times have really changed.

If Lineker were allowed to play in the current Chelsea team and use his body to carry people every day, he would get a yellow card sooner or later.

“Able to fight, make pivots, and score goals, these are truly modern forwards.” Alan Shearer also lamented, “Fortunately, we were all born ten or twenty years earlier, otherwise we would have been exhausted, haha.

.”

"It's not just the requirements for forwards that have become higher." Carragher also said, "A central defender like me may still be able to play in some mid-to-lower teams, but in Pan Yi's Chelsea, he is absolutely

You can’t kick the ball.”

One of the most obvious characteristics of modern central defenders is that their requirements for passing ability and even dribbling ability have become very high.

The traditional center back only needs to be good at defense, which is almost the same as the traditional center who only needs to attack.

In Chelsea's current formation, Terry and Cahill's passing abilities are actually quite good, so they can have more opportunities to play under Pan Yi.

But Pan Yi is indeed using greater efforts to cultivate young central defenders like Ake who are more capable of playing the ball.

Because what he requires of an ideal ball-playing central defender is that he can do a good job of defense and at the same time have the ability to pass the ball suddenly and advance forward, instantly adding firepower to the frontcourt attack.

Of course, there is such a template for a ball-playing central defender in the current Chelsea team, and that is David Luiz.

He is an all-around central defender who has skills at his feet and can pass or dribble the ball forward. He is also fast, tall and jumping.

If he has any weaknesses, it is that he is sometimes irritable when dealing with the ball and gets easily excited emotionally.

But everyone must have shortcomings, otherwise wouldn’t they be invincible?

In fact, a thousand words and ten thousand words are just one word: "omnipotent".

Forwards are required to be able to defend, defenders are required to be able to attack, fullbacks can be wingers, and wingers can also be fullbacks.

Needless to say, the midfielder is a versatile midfielder, B2B player, and even the goalkeeper can be a sweeper.

Many coaches actually understand this truth, but it is difficult to find or train these players and combine them together to finally form a perfect lineup.

Now it is Pan Yi's Chelsea who have done it, that's why they appear so invincible.

Lineker concluded:

"Pan Yi subverted football."

"If it weren't for his existence, the Premier League teams and coaches might not be as embarrassed as they are today."

"Because under the background of Pan Yi, whether it is Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, Louis van Gaal's Manchester United, or Pochettino's Tottenham today, they all feel very backward, and both offense and defense are very monotonous."

"Pan Yi has been changing football and injecting new ideas into world football."

"And all this started when he entered professional football in 2011..."

——

The game has reached the second half.

The fighting on the field became more and more intense, and scenes of people falling on their backs were not uncommon.

After all, this is a battle between mortal enemies!

Chelsea's players naturally hope to defeat their opponents at home, while Tottenham's players are not to be outdone, hoping to regain some momentum and then find a way to equalize the score.

In this way, the smell of gunpowder also comes.

In the 67th minute, Seat B got the ball on the right, and then knocked it back to Azpilicueta who stepped in to respond.

The Spaniard passed the ball to the center, and again passed it back to the center circle of his own half, and handed it to Kanter.

As soon as Kanter got the ball, Dell made a flying tackle in this direction!

The goal in the first half was largely due to his interception of the ball, so he was holding his breath.

But Kanter couldn't dodge and was shoveled to the ground!

The ball rolled to the right again, Azpilicueta got the ball again, and Danny Rose also rushed over quickly and made another tackle!

This time, Azpilicueta was shoveled out of the sideline with the ball.

Only then did the referee's whistle sound.

But Danny Rose's tackle happened right next to Chelsea's home team's bench. Azpilicueta even rolled onto his own bench. Now Chelsea players and coaches stopped working.

One by one, they rushed forward to talk to Danny Rose.

Tottenham's bench also rushed forward, and the two sides immediately became entangled.

The referee blew the whistle repeatedly and finally pulled the players on both sides aside.

Then... not a single yellow card was issued!

It was just a free kick awarded to Chelsea along the right wing.

However, there was no big fuss between the two parties.
To be continued...
