Chapter 12 Yi Le = Devil

The training was carried out in an orderly manner, and Tottenham began to get familiar with this combination of high-position pressing + pass control under the guidance of head coach Villas-Boas.

During this period, Yi Le's performance was remarkable, but he did not stand on the field as the core of the midfield.

For this point, both Yi Le and others understand it.

Elkeson's performance last season was outstanding. Under such circumstances, forcing Yi Le to be transferred to the core of the midfield is undoubtedly asking for trouble for himself.

Yi Le is a new player who just joined this season.

Tottenham fans are not familiar with him and don't have any sense of identity, so it takes a certain amount of time to settle.

In the training game, Yi Le's position was slightly forward, in the front midfielder.

The forward position means that Yi Le can't play like before. His more task is to break through and become Harry Kane's help on the front line, and at the same time, he will retreat and defend when the team needs it.

Yi Le and Elkeson are midfield partners, but they each perform their duties.

Elkeson is the iron core of the midfield.

Yi Le serves as Elkeson's assistant, which is equivalent to providing a guarantee in Tottenham's midfield.

In normal times, Yi Le only needs to intersperse and receive work in the frontcourt, but when necessary, he also needs to carry the banner of midfield rhythm.

For example, Elkeson is frozen.

In the last season, when Tottenham were in the league, the opposing team generally put a lot of troops into the midfield, thus limiting Elkeson.

This is a huge hidden danger for Tottenham. Once Elkeson misfires, Tottenham will lose all rhythm, and the team will become blind and out of order.

This pain made Tottenham fans very uncomfortable.

As the head coach, Boas is naturally aware of this, so he used Yi Le's particularity to give Tottenham's midfielder an insurance.

Once Elkeson is frozen, Yi Le will quickly return to the backcourt to help the team control the rhythm.

This will be an extremely terrifying thing.

Yi Le's style is completely opposite to Elkeson's.

Elkeson's rhythm is softer, well-behaved, equivalent to an old gentleman.

But Yi Le is completely different. He is young and full of energy. This is a violent young man. Although most oriental people are very restrained, Yi Le looks the same, but all this is superficial.

Yi Le's playing rhythm began to take shape during the Millwall period. It was an extremely aggressive style of play and a crazy offensive rhythm.

The most terrible thing is that he has a huge vision and precise footwork.

That is a stunt that even Elkeson can't match!

When Yi Le is standing in the opponent's half, he has the ability to threaten the opponent's goal at any time, which can maximize the offensive efficiency for Tottenham.

Boas thought happily: 'When the opposing team proudly thought that they had restricted Tottenham's midfield core, they would never have imagined that what they activated was another even more terrifying and extreme center fort! '

 …

Time passed slowly, the UK in July was extremely sweltering, the season of the Premier League was about to start, and all the Premier League teams started their training games in full swing.

In order to better cater for the new season, the warm-up matches of the major teams have begun.

Among them, the most watched are undoubtedly the four giants.

Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal!

Chelsea's performance in the warm-up match was extremely tyrannical, with three wins and three wins, and they all won the games by a large score. The state can be called fiery.

Manchester United was a bit stretched, but they also won the game, but the fans or coaching staff were not satisfied with the results of the warm-up match.

Since Ferguson left, Manchester United seems to have lost their soul, and has been unable to find their own rhythm and complete Nirvana.

Arsenal's performance is relatively stable, with two wins and one loss. In the losing game, Wenger sent a full substitute lineup. He wanted to make the substitute players adapt to the Premier League. It is worth mentioning that Chelsea's main goalkeeper Petr Cech Brought to Arsenal by Wenger, he performed well in the warm-up match.

Finally, there is Liverpool. The performance of the Red Army in the past few years is not outstanding, and there is no enthusiasm at all. Many fans even despised them as having lost the qualifications of the giants. The performance was extremely strong, and he defeated Manchester United, Chelsea and other strong teams in a row. Fans can't help but look forward to Liverpool's performance after the start of the league.

There are constant news about the giants, and other teams are also conducting warm-up matches in a low-key manner.

Tottenham's opponent surprised Yi Le. He thought he would find a team from another league for a warm-up match, but he didn't expect it to be the newly promoted Watford in the same division.

Yi Le and Watford are old rivals.

This warm-up match also attracted the attention of many media, not only local British media, but also Chinese media from Asia.

China has finally produced a player like Yi Le. The Chinese media is naturally the most delighted group, as can be seen from the big scenes they put on.

A lot of British local media came, but compared with the huge Chinese media group, it seemed a bit insignificant.

This time there were nearly forty Chinese journalists, all of whom were representatives of various self-media.

The British journalists were a little puzzled at first, but then got used to it.

 …

On July 15, Tottenham's first warm-up match started.

Tottenham VS Watford.

What excited the Chinese media was that Yi Le turned out to be the starter, but his position was a bit unsatisfactory. He was thought to be a midfielder who controlled the rhythm, but Yi Le appeared in the position of the midfielder, which is obviously not the core of the midfield.

But the Chinese journalists are not greedy either. It would be nice to be able to play in the Premier League. What kind of bicycle do you want?

Yi Le played very proactively throughout the game. He thoroughly implemented the tasks assigned by the head coach, connecting the midfield and the frontcourt, and constantly passed the work between Harry Kane and Elkeson.

Although he looks like a tool man, no one can ignore Yi Le, a young man who jumps up and down.

Moutinho is depressed.

He was suppressed by Yi Le in the British Championship for a year, and he was simmering in his heart. He wanted to teach this Chinese a good lesson in this training game. s position.

This made him very uncomfortable, but he did not slack off, but instead took the initiative in the midfield.

Elkeson's midfielder is not strong, similar to the type of boiling frogs in warm water, which needs to be brewed slowly, so Moutinho decisively speeds up the pace and caught Tottenham by surprise.

Elkeson fell into a passive position, and Tottenham's midfield was in trouble.

Yi Le saw this situation clearly in the frontcourt, he couldn't help but frowned, and ran to the backcourt.

He needs to help Elkeson. If he can't get the ball in the middle, it will be really troublesome. Although it is a warm-up match, Yi Le doesn't want to lose.

Elkeson took the ball in the middle circle, and the opponent's defensive player stuck to it decisively, making a high-intensity press.

Elkerson seemed to be alone, annoyed that he couldn't connect with the other players.

At this moment, a shout came.

Elkeson looked up and saw Yi Le appearing in front of him, reaching for the ball.

give or not?

Eriksson struggled for a while. He and Yi Le were in direct competition. Under normal circumstances, he really didn't want to pass the ball to Yi Le to give him a chance to perform.

But at this time, he was frozen. If he didn't pass the ball, the coach's anger was not a joke.

Elkeson was so depressed that he could only pass it on.

Yi Le catches the ball easily.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but the moment Yi Le received the ball, Watford's defense began to shrink crazily, and even Moutinho retreated.

All the Watford players who have played against Yi Le in the British Championship understand that once Yi Le gets the ball, this guy can instantly hit the rhythm.

His passing footwork is really nothing to say, he directly played Watford and depressed him all season.

Now seeing Yi Le take the ball, it's not bad, so he directly retreated to defend.

Yi Le is not a soft persimmon like Elkeson. What this guy is best at is extremely aggressive offense.

Looking at Watford's defense line that seemed to be ebbing, Yi Le was a little stunned. All the gaps were cut off, which made him pass the ball.

Taking the ball two steps forward, Yi Le saw that he had no good chance, so he could only pass it to Elkeson, while he ran forward.

Erkeson looked at Yi Le with a strange expression.

What the hell did this kid do to Watford?

Why are these people so afraid of him?

Yi Le played very depressed throughout the game, and the shameless Watford guys stared at him for a while to guard against him, but they liberated Elkeson.

What the hell is this?

Elkeson is the core of the midfield.

He is just a tool man!

It can only be said that Yi Le put too much pressure on Watford in the British Championship. Even if they lose, they are not willing to give Yi Le the devil the ball.

That's right, in Watford's eyes, ghosts!
