Chapter 671 Why Genius!

In every fifteen minutes of the halftime game, the players are as busy as those on the field.

This kind of busyness does not mean that they have to run non-stop, but that they have to prepare for the second half according to some situations in the first half. For example, some people need to go to the toilet, some need to replenish water, or replenish some food, or simply lie on the soft bed and let the masseurs ravage them.

Although the halftime break is fifteen minutes, the actual time left for the players is only about ten minutes.

What do they usually do?

I believe this is the doubt of all fans around the world!

But they will never know anything that happens in the locker room, unless someone is willing to risk being expelled from the football circle and reveal it privately, otherwise, this situation is impossible.

"The boss said that during the halftime break, we will leave it to ourselves to think about how to play in the second half? Also, what is our goal for this game? He will not come to the locker room!"

"Also, he said that he was very satisfied with our performance in the first half!"

This is the captain Raul on the field, as the last person to enter the locker room, conveying what the head coach Ye Qiu just told him.

It is rare for a head coach not to come to the locker room in professional football, especially when the head coach has not been sent off or suspended. If the news gets out, I am afraid all the fans will dispute it.

The locker room suddenly became quiet, and the only sound was the movement and sound of the masseurs massaging the players who were lying on the sofa bed with a thick layer of warm towels on their bodies. They were obviously thinking about Ye Qiu's words.

In Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu has a supreme position. He can often make the group of players fight for him with just one word. Now he said that he would not come to the locker room and asked them to think for themselves. The players were also thinking about what to do in this game.

They had tried their best in the first half. Can they continue to fight like this in the second half? Can they still hold on?

You know, the other side is in the golden age, the star of the playing years, and each of them is at the Premier League level, and there are even European powerful stars. Whether they are physical confrontation, physical endurance, or the use of football technology, they are not as good as their opponents. In this case, can they still hold on?

Raul sat in the locker room. The away locker room at Everton's Goodison Park is exactly the same as all the away locker rooms. They are all so simple that they can be said to be stingy, so everything in the locker room is clear at a glance. Many players are still panting, such as Coutinho. This little guy fought too hard in the first half.

Heitinga is originally a very aggressive player with good physical fitness and confrontation. Coutinho's physical gap is so big, but he did not compete with Heitinga directly in the first half. It can be seen that the Brazilian's consumption is very large, even now, he has not recovered.

Of course, young people always recover much faster than veterans, especially for this group of young people aged 17, 18 or 19. Fifteen minutes can allow them to recover a lot of physical strength, but who knows whether they can continue to persevere in the second half, especially to support the team to continue to adopt the tactics of the last ten minutes of the first half?

No one spoke in the locker room. The head coach was not there. It should have been the captain of the team who spoke, but Raul was obviously not the kind of captain who could inspire the morale of the players and give a loud and highly inspiring speech. He relied more on diligence and his performance on the court to prove the role of a captain.

This has advantages, but the disadvantages are also obvious. Just like now, he can't give his teammates in the locker room a unified idea.

Facts have proved that people, no matter which country or which era, need to be managed.

Fighting alone and being self-centered have always been proven to only bring destruction and collapse.

"Fuck!" Phil Jones was lying on the sofa bed, receiving a massage from the masseur. After the massage, this guy, whose face was as red as Guan Gong, slapped the iron closet doors in the Everton dressing room with force, making a crisp sound, and then jumped off the soft bed naked.

"The more I think about it, the more annoyed I feel. That group of turtle bastards are clearly bullying us. Fuck, the more I think about it, the angrier I get!"

The boy became more and more angry as he spoke, his chest rose and fell rapidly, his face became obviously redder, and the veins on his neck swelled up.

The staff next to him rushed up and covered Phil Jones with a warm robe. The temperature was not high now, and the damn Everton did not have air conditioning in the dressing room, so they had to find a way to help the players keep warm. Otherwise, after fifteen minutes, the players' bodies would cool down, and after the second half started again, they would have to go through a warm-up to find their form.

"We fought them in the second half. Let's see how those bastards will look when they lose to us in their home stadium. It would be best if they die of anger!" Phil Jones shouted angrily.

"You, be careful in the second half. You've got a yellow card. If you get another card, it will be a red card!" As the captain of the team, Raul has the responsibility and obligation to remind this teammate who is often overwhelmed by anger.

"I know, but I just can't get angry!" Phil Jones also had his own reasons. "Besides, they are aware of this, so they always play on the left. If I don't give them a taste of my strength, they don't even know that I am s method!"

"I think Phil is right, there is nothing to be afraid of. Just those guys from Everton, let's just deal with them and see what they will say then!" Sandro also felt annoyed.

Everton launched a fierce attack in the first half, and his midfielder was also the hardest hit area.

"Hey, little Paul!" Phil Jones walked over and bumped Paul Pogba with his shoulder. "You were too damn soft in the first half. You didn't dare to resist when you were bullied. You have to run more in the second half." Come on, look at your body. You're not afraid of whoever bumps into you? Don't think too much about that South African guy and that old guy Phil Neville. You can kill them if you hit them with your body!"

When he said this, Phil Jones showed a hint of ruthlessness, "If Moyes dares to hit Ross Barkley, I will teach him how to play football!" After saying this, he showed a burst of laughter.

Everyone else in the locker room also laughed. This kid is so rough that he even boasts that he wants to teach others how to play football? But he was indeed bold, and when he said this, everyone felt that Everton wasn't that scary after all!

"How about it? Don't say anything. Are you going to do it or not?" Phil Jones stood up and asked loudly.

"I did it!" Paul Pogba was also a young man and couldn't bear to be looked down upon by his peers, so he shouted.

"I did it too!" Sandro also felt aggrieved.

"Fuck, fuck!" Danish demon Eriksson also got angry.

Coutinho, Varane, Nastasic, Neymar and others also spoke out one after another and decided to go with them!

"Captain, we've all decided to do it, what about you?" Phil Jones looked at Raul provocatively.

The latter also stood up, and Spanish left back Alba was sitting next to Raul. He only followed Raul's lead, especially after the two generals Cesc Fabregas and David Silva left the team. The only one who can come close to Tottenham Hotspur is Raul, a senior from the same country.

Raul looked at this group of lively young teammates. He had to admit that he was indeed getting old. Without their passion and their spirit, he had become more mature and rational, but some Sometimes, maturity and rationality also represent timidity and cowardice.

"Then do it!" Raul also shouted.

Many people say that Neymar is a genius!

Indeed, from the moment he debuted, or from the moment he received attention from the outside world, he has always had the aura of genius on his head. Many people began to compare him with Pele, Ronaldo, or at least Robbie. Neo compares him to Brazil's future leader, he is an absolute genius.

Although Neymar worked hard and diligently in Brazil, he still had a sense of arrogance in his bones. He believed that he was indeed a genius, so he had to work hard to become a player truly worthy of the title of genius.

This idea reached its peak after he was favored by Tottenham Hotspur, because everyone knew that the players favored by Tottenham Hotspur, especially the players favored by Ye Qiu, would eventually All can become top players.

In the past few years, Tottenham Hotspur have been sculpting and helping him improve to make him more adaptable to the style of European football. However, when Neymar participated in Tottenham Hotspur's training camp, although he I have some exposure and familiarity with this style, but I have no real experience with it.

So much so that when he came to the Premier League, many people were surprised and said that Neymar seemed to have transformed from a top talent to a mediocre one overnight. Many even thought that he would shake Franck Ribery once he came to the Premier League. People in Messi's position now believe that he will become the next Denilson.

Who is Denilson?

At that time, the world's No. 1 player switched to Real Betis for an astonishing price. He was called by Brazilian fans as a symbol of the renaissance of artistic Brazil, and was regarded by Brazilians as the most samba-flavored top star. But in the end, he ended up in the European arena. In particular, La Liga, which is most in line with the playing style of Brazilian players, encountered the most painful Waterloo in their careers.

Where is Denilson now?

Perhaps, even the most experienced fans cannot say it all at once, and Neymar himself does not know where he has gone.

But there is really a worry in his heart, that is, will he become the next Denilson?

In the Brazilian game, he can step on the ball, sway left and right, and try to use some fancy moves to confuse the defensive players. If it is in the European game, it even looks a bit like a clown juggling, but in Brazil On the field, we often see this kind of situation, and the defensive player makes a move, and you react accordingly based on his move.

Neymar is obviously used to this style of playing, but after coming to the Premier League, the situation completely changed.

As soon as you get the ball, the opponent will get close. If you don't have an advantage in physical confrontation, you can easily lose the ball at once. Neymar raised his hand to call a foul at the beginning, but the referee never blew the whistle. , even many times, as soon as Neymar stepped on the ball, the opponent would directly tackle him, which scared him so much that he had to dodge.

Of course, Neymar also has his moments of great performance, but the occasional flashes cannot cover up his long-term depression.

Later, the Tottenham Hotspur coaching staff asked him to watch some videos and highlights of Cristiano Ronaldo, and then asked him to watch the videos and highlights of the current Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and others, and told him that this is the European way of playing, and anyone who wants to integrate into the European professional league must play this way.

Perhaps it is because of his father's indoctrination since childhood, or because he came to the Premier League and joined Tottenham Hotspur, and saw what it means to have a better world and a better person, Neymar has a strong sense of crisis. He is worried that he will become the next Denilson, and he is worried that he will fail and return to Brazil in disgrace.

So in the past period of time, he has been training hard, trying to change some of his playing habits, and at the same time, he is also working hard to improve his upper limb strength, because this can ensure that he can continue to use his skills reasonably in a certain degree of physical confrontation. Otherwise, if he loses his balance when someone touches his body, how can he play?

Not only that, Neymar has seen top technical players such as Messi and Ribery, who are also very hardworking and diligent in the game, and their physical fitness is also very good, so he himself has this awareness.

However, as the team behind him said, Ye Qiu values ​​him because he has the cunning of Brazilians and excellent footwork, so these things are his advantages and cannot be lost, but at the same time he should better integrate into the Premier League environment and Tottenham Hotspur's tactical style while strengthening his own advantages.

Neymar has been developing step by step according to this goal and demanding himself, and in this process, his performance has also been greatly improved, and his performance has also improved and is getting better and better.

In this game, although he scored a goal to tie the score in the first half, Neymar was more satisfied with his attitude towards the game. He actively engaged in pressing and actively participated in the team's defense and oppression in the game, which is very rare.

In the second half, the pressure on Tottenham Hotspur was increasing. He also helped the team and his teammates to share this pressure. Not only in defense, he was also very active in running and cruising in the frontcourt. Although he was a right winger, he sometimes moved to the middle and sometimes to the left, changing unpredictably.

Just like this time, Tottenham Hotspur finally got a chance to counterattack. Alba quickly dribbled the ball from the left to the frontcourt. Osman on the right side of Everton chased him all the way. Neymar was worried that Alba would make a mistake, so he took the initiative to retreat, and behind him was Heitinga who followed him.

Alba passed the ball to Neymar's feet. The Brazilian took the ball close to the sideline, but Alba's pass was not ideal, causing the Brazilian to fall directly into the double-team of Heitinga and Osman, losing the angle and the route of the ball.

In this case, most of the players in the mainstream European professional leagues would consider kicking the ball to the opponent and out of bounds to earn a throw-in. Obviously, Osman and Heitinga did the same, so they subconsciously left a gap for Neymar's move.

But when Neymar took the ball with his back to the goal and blocked Heitinga behind him, and wanted to kick the ball to Osman with his right foot, the latter obviously gave way. Neymar seemed to have expected this. His right foot was very flexible, and he knocked the ball to his left with his heel, while his left foot kicked the ball forward and avoided Heitinga behind him.

Neymar was seen from the double-teaming of two players, like a loach, cunningly using the inertial thinking of European players and his juggling footwork to kill a bloody path and break through with the ball.

But it was not safe after coming out. Heitinga kept following Neymar, and one of his arms was always on Neymar. As long as the Brazilian relaxed, he might be entangled by him immediately, or even knocked over directly.

Neymar dribbled the ball towards the middle and saw Raul running over to meet him, so Neymar kicked the ball past Heitinga and passed it to Raul. Heitinga quickly caught up with Raul, but Raul passed it diagonally to Fellaini's right side. After Neymar shook off Heitinga, he accelerated and received the ball on Fellaini's right side.

Fellaini realized the danger and entangled Neymar tightly, but he was tall and his movement speed was not as fast as Neymar, who never let him get close, especially the Belgian had a slight push. Neymar's body shook, but he quickly balanced again.

If it was Neymar when he first landed in the Premier League, he would definitely be pushed down this time, but now his physical fitness is better, so he just shook, but took the opportunity to pull out space with Fellaini, and rushed directly to Rodwell at the top of the penalty area with the ball. The young English player stared at Neymar as if he was facing a great enemy.

There were obstacles in front and pursuers behind. Neymar faced Rodwell and rushed forward with the ball. He was about to enter the area where Rodwell could kick to steal the ball, but he saw Neymar suddenly do a high-frequency bicycle kick. The whole process was dazzling, and Rodwell was stimulated. Without time to think about it, he directly used the stealing action that had been brewing in his mind for a long time. But at this time, Neymar poked the ball past his side and passed by him.

From the continuous breakthrough on the left just now, to getting rid of Fellaini, playing bicycle in front of the penalty area, passing Rodwell to form a single shot, Neymar's entire dribbling process made everyone at the scene feel stunned, and even countless Everton fans exclaimed. Goalkeeper Tim Howard was even more shocked. He certainly didn't expect Neymar to be able to break through so many people in a row.

The American goalkeeper didn't have time to think about it, and he directly abandoned the goal and attacked, but fell to the ground and wanted to pounce on the ball at Neymar's feet, but the Brazilian caught up with the ball and gently picked it up. He had seen Howard's attack, and picking the ball was the best choice.

The ball passed Howard's head and slowly fell into the goal behind him, 2:1!

Neymar did it!

He did what a talented player should do!

It's like a reincarnation. When Messi faced Everton, he also performed a drama of passing several people and successfully shooting, helping Tottenham Hotspur win, and now, it's Neymar's turn!
