The birth of the "Premier League BBC"? Conte practiced the philosophy of mentoring Rippy and led the team to strive for four

4-0! In tottenham's Premier League match against Villa in the early hours of this morning, the score did not reflect the situation truthfully, Conte's side with goalkeeper Lowry's heroic performance in the first half to withstand the opponent's wild attack, in the second half suddenly powered up, only to achieve a hearty victory.

Conte said after the game: "It wasn't an easy game and we showed resilience in the first half. ”

Son Heung-min, who was running faster and faster, scored a hat-trick, almost shooting into the dead corner with his feet on these three goals; Kane, who was able to withdraw in response, sent two assists, and Tottenham Hotspur No. 10 became more and more like Benzema; the new signing Kulusevsky who joined in the winter window passed, and the Swede was a player born for the Premier League.

Conte forged the "Premier League version of the BBC"?

The cooperation between Tottenham's frontcourt trident has become more and more tacit, making big wins the norm for the team. In the last month or so, Tottenham have scored four goals or more in four or more games, 4-0 Leeds United, 5-0 Everton, 5-1 Newcastle and 4-0 Villa this morning.

In the last seven Premier League games, Kane has scored 5 goals and assisted 6 times, Son Heung-min has scored 8 goals and assisted 1 time, and Kulusevsky has scored 2 goals and assisted 5 times. With the bravery of the trident in front, Spurs also won 6 of these games, taking the team out of the mud and becoming the fourth favorite.

Under Conte's 343 system, Argentina international Romero is playing as the team's right centre-back, he has become a very important offensive launch point for the team in the backcourt, and Kane's goal in this game is directly assisted by Son Heung-min's goal, which is initiated by Romero's long pass. The slow-moving Dell stands in the middle, and his work has changed from grabbing to assisting in defense. Davis is a natural choice for left centre-back, he can play left-back and center-back, he has a large range of motion, the left wing of Tottenham Hotspur, who mainly attacks the left side, often inserts assists, while Davis needs to protect the defensive area on this side to guard against opponents' counterattacks.

In terms of midfield, Bentancour and Heybel, who joined in the winter window, have a good chemical reaction, and the two sapper-type midfielders form a good complement, although they are both offensive and defensive, but the work of organizing and planning is mainly handed over to Heybel, and Bentankur is waiting for the opportunity to move. Against Vera, both had a 92% pass success rate, showing good stability.

The frontcourt trident, Son Heung-min's excellent no-ball running and left-right bow shooting, is there a shadow of his idol C Luo? In the last two seasons, Kane has studied a lot in the field of sending deadly passes, watching Tottenham Hotspur No. 10 retract and take the ball again and again, quite like the style of Benzema who focused on making a wedding dress for C Ronaldo. Kulusevsky, who has scored 3 goals and assisted 6 times in the Premier League after the winter window, there is no doubt that he must be the strongest left-footed player in Tottenham's offensive ability after Bale, although the speed is not as good as the peak Bale, but whether it is shooting or passing, Kulusevsky has both a powerful miracle burst and a small sniff rose assist between his hands and feet.

Tottenham's SKK combination is becoming the Premier League's top attacking trident comparable to Liverpool's "Red Arrow Trio". From the perspective of the player's style and counterattack efficiency, Tottenham's SKK combination has several Premier League versions of Real Madrid's BBC charm.

From 4 losses in 5 games to 6 wins in 7 games, Conte has always been a desperate walker

Even when a champion coach like Conte took over Tottenham, there was almost unanimous belief that Conte would have a hard time reversing Tottenham's decline. Although he lost only 1 in the first 11 rounds of his term and drew with Liverpool, the sweet days of Conte and Tottenham quickly passed.

From the end of January to February this year, Conte led his team to swallow four defeats in five Premier League games. This gave Conte a series of desperate voices, which was extremely rare for Conte, who has always been strong and confident at heart.

"The results are frustrating. I work very hard and put in a lot of energy to try to inspire the highest level of the players. I came here to improve the team, but the reality is that the team is not improving, some people say that they want the team to compete in the top four, but the reality of 4 losses in 5 rounds makes us have to sound the alarm bell, I hope that after that, we don't fight for relegation. “

"We tried everything we could to improve, but that wasn't enough, it was very disappointing, it was the first time in my life that I lost 4 of 5 rounds and maybe I wasn't that good."

In fact, this is not the first time of Conte's top flight that he has lost 4 in five top flights, and there have been two more before that: he coached Atalanta in 2009 and Chelsea in 2018. The first two lows, Conte was out of class shortly after, and he was unable to turn the tide.

This time, Conte performed the actions of high-level players under hell mode.

In fact, 4 of the 5 games and 6 wins in 7 rounds, the same 343 formation, are also this group of players. In the face of desperate circumstances, Conte is more committed to the team's tactics, and instills confidence and the strength to not be afraid of adversity.

In An interview last June, Conte revealed his philosophy of football, as he has shown us throughout his career, "I have been injured many times in my playing career, and these injuries have given me the strength to deal with negative events and turn them into positive energy. As a player, I won everything I could possibly win, but I also lost a lot. When you lose, you have that desire in your heart that you don't want to fail again, so when you're a coach, you do your best to pass that desire on to your players. It all comes from the scars you once had and the desire to avoid getting more. ”

At the age of 18, Conte fractured his tibia in his right leg and came to an end to his newly started career. In the 1996 Champions League final between Juve and Ajax, Conte went off with an injury before he finished half-time, an injury that left him missing the European Championship in the summer. In November 1996, in a national team match against Georgia for Italy, Conte's ruptured left anterior cruciate ligament almost cost him that season (the last few league substitutes came on).

As a player, major injuries did not overwhelm Conte, and each time he returned with a stronger posture. So as a coach, Conte, he has seen enough big winds and waves, and he was not successful in the early days of coaching in Siena, Arezzo and Atalanta, but he was indomitable.

In an interview with The Corriere della Sera last year, Conte said, "Lippi's time at Juve had a profound impact on me, he gave me direction and made the players stronger on a psychological level, which is the huge role of coaches." ”

Indeed, Spurs have been through so many coaches since Pochettino left school the year before, but they have not been able to get on track, and although Kane and Son Heung-min have always had good goal statistics, the team has not been able to achieve stable results and play better team football.

And Conte did it, he did what the "special one" didn't do. This is the great role of coaching, and Conte practiced Lippi's coaching philosophy with his own practical actions.

After the game, Conte said: "If we want to be a top team, the quality of perseverance is important, if we are not strong enough, you will never win something. "In the past month, Tottenham's tenacity has allowed them to reverse the decline, even if Conte has disagreed with the senior management before, and his harsh coaching style has also made the players uncomfortable, but 5 months after taking over the team, Conte really pinched the team together.

It all goes as Conte's mother, Ada, said 22 years ago: "Conte has gone through so many tribulations on the road of football, but he has never been lost. (Supine Braces/Qiu Yixi)
