winter window transfer market closed, Mourinho was happy from ear to ear, even though Eriksson finally did not accept Mourinho’s vigorous retention, waved his sleeves, left Levi of London, and married away. For the Inter Milan, Levi once again used Levi’s way to sign the Dutch winger Belvin for Mourinho at the last minute, including Tottenham Fernandez, who was on loan (including the buyout clause), and Tottenham. In an extraordinary period, he received two young and powerful aids.
may not be able to satisfy the appetites of the judges. The backup center and rear defense soldiers that everyone is thinking of have not come, but we must be clear that Mourinho and Levi have almost unanimously emphasized this. Winter Window Tottenham will basically not consider signings. They can finally achieve such a result and bring such a surprise to everyone. Mourinho and Levi definitely not only exchanged their eyes, they played a double reed together. This is definitely a long-planned plan to conceal the sky and cross the sea.
is still the same sentence, this kind of transfer method is very Levi, don’t you see, Eriksson only has half a year's contract left, Levi still tried to get 20 million euros from Inter Milan, incidentally, there is a "both sides kicked one" All the income from the friendly match goes to Tottenham's overlord additional clause; see you, Belwyn just renewed his contract with his home team last summer, but Levi coaxed the boy to swear allegiance to Tottenham.
In addition, Tottenham also sent away Rose (to join Newcastle United on loan), who was rumored to have a quarrel with Mourinho. How do you describe this wave of operations? One word, show. It's time to go, it's time to come, when all the players are in their positions, for Mourinho and Levi, no, it should be for all those who support Tottenham, the focus of everything has begun to turn to how Build this team.
So, what kind of Tottenham does Mourinho want to build? In other words, what is the purpose of Levi's appointment of Mourinho to coach? We might as well start with Mourinho's opportunity to coach Tottenham and take a look at the grand blueprint of Mourinho and Levi.
[He ruthlessly drove Pochettino away and invited Mourinho halfway through, not just because of Tottenham’s declining record]
As we all know, Mourinho has been coaching Porto for more than ten years. Never took office halfway, in other words, whether it is Mourinho himself, or any team that has hired Mourinho, he has never regarded Mourinho as a firefighting coach.
However, this time, Mourinho made an exception. Why? The author has repeatedly mentioned in many articles, because it is appropriate, because the opportunity cannot be missed, it is a good opportunity for both sides, Mourinho needs to find a club with certain soft and hard strength, a pure The Mourinhoists continue to challenge themselves to "gather flowers among the thorns"; Levi needs to find a famous and appealing coach to complete the upgrade of Tottenham, and continue to complete the challenge more than ten years ago. The cattle that have passed, the two can be described as hitting it off.
However, such a perfect combination is at the expense of Tottenham’s meritorious coach Pochettino’s dismissal. If you are a ferromagnet who has been with Tottenham for several years and not because of Mourinho’s new talent in coaching, for this The result will be more or less sentimental and even unacceptable. It can be said that without Pochettino, Tottenham may not be able to reach the current height . The Argentine brought the White Hart Lane in the toughest days of Tottenham. We can look forward to the dawn of the future.
coached for 5 and a half years, Pochettino only led Tottenham to the 5th place in the Premier League in the first season, and led the team to the top 4 in the remaining 4 full seasons, and even almost led the team in the 2016-2017 season. Last season, it was for Tottenham to achieve a breakthrough in the Champions League and successfully reached the final; however, when Pochettino rolled up his sleeves and wanted to do a big fight, Tottenham’s results this season slipped inexplicably, even There is also the shameful experience of losing Bayern 2-1 in the Champions League group stage.
So, after Pochettino led the team to a wave of five-round Premier League victory, Levi finally got the killer. At that time, Tottenham ranked 14th.Such results are indeed a bit unreasonable. However, it needs to be clarified that in the Premier League this season, except for Liverpool, Manchester City and Leicester City are in the top three, other teams have formed a chaotic situation, and a win or loss can even determine the gap of several places. .
In other words, Tottenham then only needed two or three victories to return to the fourth team. Even now, the Premier League’s powers are still inextricably beaten, from fourth to fourth. The 14th place is only 11 points apart. When Pochettino is off class, that is, in the 12th round, the difference in points between the teams is almost as small as it is now (round 25).
But Levi did not give Pochettino a chance to continue coaching and turn things around. What's the reason? At this moment, I have to bring up the bull that Levi blew: "To build a modern stadium for Tottenham, establish a complete youth training system, and build the team into a team that can compete for the championship." is the first two of the bulls. The article has been realized, there is only the last one, and it is still short of breath.
Pochettino has led the team for 5 years. Although Tottenham broke into the Champions League final last season, everyone knows that it is actually just the end of the battle. The strongest Spurs coached by Boss is not the Champions League. The uncrowned division is the runner-up division of the 2016-2017 season. In order to upgrade the lineup, Levi has already bleed in the summer transfer window of 2019 to bring Pochettino Ndombele, Loscelso, and match. Nyon and other strong supporters, but unfortunately, Pochettino used Tottenham’s declining performance to further confirm that the height he led the team may be really limited.
Levi once said that he hoped that Pochettino would continue to coach. The two were once so close, but let’s not forget how well-known Levi is in the industry. This shrewdness is not only reflected in his negotiation. He is a good player, and it is more reflected in the fact that this is a club chairman who really understands the ball. He knows that it is time for Tottenham to change.
Of course, involves the change of the team from one style to another. It is by no means sloppy to say "It's just that way!" It must have been evaluated by a professional team beforehand. A thing similar to a feasibility study report, . Moreover, Levi must have been working on this matter early. The decline of Bossian leadership's performance just provided a suitable opportunity. Otherwise, we would never see Boche. Within 24 hours of Tino's dismissal, Levi announced Mourinho's appointment without stopping.
[Once an emperor and a courtier, how did Mourinho build Tottenham? ]
When Levi finally invited Mourinho, when the most special one finally picked up the Tottenham coach, most of us still feel a little dreamlike, like a fantasy. However, this matter is It really happened, and Spurs ushered in the Mourinho era.
The so-called emperor and courtier, although Mourinho has repeatedly emphasized in the media that he is satisfied with Tottenham’s lineup structure, Mourinho obviously has his own ideas on the use of personnel. The most obvious change is The use of little Lucas, under Pochettino, little Lucas is just a substitute for the Rockets; under Mourinho, he is an absolute regular main force.
Some people are happy and some are worried. Those who are happy are naturally the young player Tanganga who became famous in the fight against Liverpool. The sadness is bound to be the left back Danny Rose, who has temporarily left the team. The pick was ranked behind Tanganga, who was originally a right back. Mourinho would rather let the teenager Tanganga come to the left back without giving Rose a chance.
However, Mourinho naturally has his reasons for being so safe. Faced with reporters’ questions, Mourinho frankly throws out the term “concentration”. In Mourinho’s view, Tanganga is young, On the court, he has a very high degree of concentration in the game, and Rose has recently been in poor physical condition and has a tendency to look out of shape.
Friends who are familiar with Mourinho should know that concentration is a quality that Mourinho has always emphasized. However, Mourinho believes that this quality can be cultivated through training, which is why MourinhoAo has always emphasized the importance of pre-season training. He needs a complete training cycle to strengthen the players' focus on the game. Of course, he also needs to run into the drill lineup.
So, what should I do if I take over the team midway without a complete pre-season training? Mourinho has his own tactics to practice with the game, which is why Mourinho has been coaching, why the lineup has been changing almost all the time, and why the first half seemed crappy and anxious, but always passed in the second half. One or two positions of personnel adjustment, the reason for the transformation of the Super Saiyan team.
In fact, frequently changes the formation, Mourinho has another deep meaning, looking for the best play for the current players in the formation, and at the same time through the exchange of different positions to observe the players’ adaptability in different positions , , for example, Loscelso can not only be a playmaker as a midfielder, but also play a winger in position; for example, in the absence of Kane due to injury, who is more suitable for the role of acting center, Sun Xingmin or Lucas Jr. These are Mourinho's research topics.
It is worth mentioning that Mourinho's drastic tactical innovation started after successive losses to Manchester United and Chelsea. Although individual positions have been fine-tuned before, Mourinho has basically implemented 4-2-3 The -1 tactical system, on the one hand, is due to the fact that the team has just taken over and needs to come up with results as soon as possible to stabilize the military; on the other hand, although Mourinho ushered in a wave of winning streaks in all competitions when he first took over, he lost every game. The ball numbers are shocking and impressive.
This kind of fearsome way of winning is something Mourinho is deeply taboo in his bones. In Mourinho’s view, you can’t guarantee that every game can be reversed even with a net loss of 2 goals per game. With the confidence of the universe, Manchester United and Chelsea have successively taught Tottenham.
Mourinho wants his team to have the ultimate offensive and defensive balance. In order to find the best solution, Mourinho even tried the formation of three central defenders. Of course, the effect is not ideal, so it lies in the strength of Manchester City. In the duel, we saw that Mourinho returned to the 4-2-3-1 position after going round and round, and the result of this game was very satisfactory.
[Erickson’s departure from the team may not be a good thing, and the midfielderization of weak organizations may have become a trend]
's victory in a strong dialogue is certainly very encouraging, but it still does not mean that Tottenham is now. To achieve Mourinho’s ideal appearance, Mourinho’s transformation of the team is still in progress, and this article is limited in space, and due to the author’s understanding, it is not possible to make a further and more detailed interpretation. This point, there is nothing to entangle. Yes, if I can really talk about football better than Mourinho, then Levi should definitely ask me, because I want a lower salary.
By the way, Eriksson’s departure from the team may not be a bad thing for Tottenham. This is not just from the perspective of the unresolved issue of staying and staying that affects the military’s morale, but from the tactical sense. over-concentrates the ball on a certain person, which is a relatively risky investment for the team.
In the past season, although Eriksson has a pivotal significance to Tottenham, with Eriksson in, the team’s offensive organization will be much clearer, but we must also see that Eriksson is less confrontational. Strong dialogue is easy to be invisible. In other words, Levi’s assessment of Tottenham’s transformation may already have a clear position on Eriksson. Under the trend of seeking new tactics and development, Eriksson is not A necessity.
The weakening of the function of the midfield organizer, in a sense, may have become a new trend in modern football. The most classic example is Liverpool, the popular fried chicken this season. Liverpool's midfielder does not even need to participate in the offensive organization. , But there are goals every field, and can maintain the momentum of crushing the other 19 teams in the Premier League. Careful friends will find that this is even similar to the 2004-2005 season, where Mourinho coached Chelsea. The difference is that at that time, Chelsea arranged two sweeping midfielders, plus an attacking midfielder. field. obviouslyIt is easy to see that, coaching Tottenham, what Mourinho wants to recreate is a more three-dimensional offensive and defensive style of play that is not easy to be targeted, and this has nothing to do with the specific formation of Tottenham.
