Chapter 331 It's not easy to restrict Yunfei!
For Martin Jol, the problem he faces is the same as that of all the head coaches facing Southampton, that is how to limit Yunfei's performance.

The problem now is that everyone knows that Yunfei is the key, but they have no good way to restrict this young man who is only 18 years old.

For Yunfei, the most annoying thing is that the effects of these methods are actually similar, and none of them is very effective, which is very difficult.

Yunfei’s body can only be said to be average now, but if you limit him with a particularly good body, it is easy to be easily passed by this guy with his speed and skills. If you use a little more dexterity, then the body and speed may not necessarily take advantage.

Specifically for Tottenham, the defensive gatekeeper Huddlestone is extremely slow. Although he has not reached the unbearable slowness at the end of his career, he is definitely one of the slowest players on the court. It is simply a dream to rely on such a midfielder to limit Yunfei, who has a huge range of activities!
As a matter of fact, Martin Jol was troubled as to who would defend Yunfei. In the end, he didn’t set up a full-time defender at all. All the midfielders, as long as they were beside Yunfei, would take the initiative to attack with their bodies to prevent Yunfei from handling the ball better. At the same time, he cut off the passing route of Yunfei’s teammates to Yunfei and tried not to let Yunfei catch the ball. This is the best way Martin Jol can think of at present!Hope this works!
There is one thing to say, whether Tottenham's defensive strategy is effective or not, it is this highly targeted arrangement that will more or less have some impact on Yunfei.

As soon as the first half of the game started, Yunfei felt something different. The opponent restricted his range of activities very much. No matter who was beside him, there would always be an opponent's midfielder following him, and he was deliberately stuck in his own way of getting the ball. After 10 minutes in the first half, at the White Hart Lane, Yunfei rarely took the ball to watch.

But such a high-intensity defense also comes at a price, that is, although the game only lasted 10 minutes, the midfielders who watched Tottenham were all running profusely. To achieve the defensive effect just mentioned, running must be active to a certain extent.

Moreover, caring too much about Yunfei also meant that other players would not receive too much attention, so Yunfei simply used himself as a target to attract the attention of his opponents and create opportunities for his teammates.

After realizing the opponent's tight defense against him, Yunfei did not retreat as usual and forcefully control the ball. Instead, he moved in the center circle arc towards his own side, attracting the opponent's midfielder's attention, and then suddenly made a sudden movement forward to catch the ball.

The Tottenham midfielder Gary, who was following Yunfei, subconsciously followed up, moving his whole body with one move, and the entire Tottenham frontcourt defense also moved forward with Gary. At this moment, Yunfei, who was running back and trying to catch the ball, stretched out his hand to signal the defender to kick off directly to the frontcourt.

Lundekwam did not hesitate, and directly chose to drive the ball to the frontcourt!

The defender's footwork is naturally not as precise as Yunfei's midfielders, but for Southampton's two wings, all you have to do is drive the ball to the frontcourt and let them run.

This was the case at this time, the ball was driven to the frontcourt, Bell and the full-backs defending him started to speed up at the same time, chasing the ball, the opponent obviously couldn't keep up with Bell's speed, but fortunately the ball was driven too close to the bottom line, even though Bell got the ball first, the opponent also blocked the inside position, preventing Bell from easily approaching the danger zone.

Bell raised his head and glanced into the penalty area at this time. Fuller had already arrived in the penalty area at this time, so he didn't hesitate and directly kicked a pass!

At this time, Fuller took out his high center forward's header ability and hit the ball very comfortably. If the ball is not blocked by anyone, it may create a very big threat!
It's a pity that at the same time as Fuller headed the ball, the central defender also followed up. The ball just flew out of Fuller's forehead, and was blocked by the central defender out of the bottom line!

"It's another classic Southampton counterattack. Yunfei uses his ability to attract the opponent's defensive players to attract the opponent's defense to press up, and then let his teammates play the ball to find teammates in the frontcourt to create an offensive. Although Yunfei can't handle the ball. It will affect the efficiency of the counterattack, but this kind of counterattack is still very threatening. As long as there is an excellent pass, it is possible to penetrate Tottenham's defense!"

At this time, Martin Jol was anxiously yelling at the defensive players on the sidelines, signaling them to pay more attention and not give the opponent such a chance to counterattack, but he also knew in his heart that this was unrealistic.

After hesitating for a while, feeling that this situation could not last, he chose not to allow the team to overwhelm the halfcourt when defending. Let Yunfei first let Yunfei control the ball in the backcourt to see the effect first, but this is limited to the backcourt. If Yunfei dares to control the ball and enter the midfield, he will definitely attract the most violent pressing.

"Yo, is this giving up?"

The change of Tottenham's defensive strategy, Yunfei naturally felt it immediately, but looking at the opponent's eye-catching look, he understood that the opponent just put him in the backcourt to control the ball.

"Smart way!"

Yunfei secretly admired the decisiveness of the opponent's head coach. Once he found a tactical problem, he immediately switched to a dense defense. I stayed in the backcourt and didn't let you pass the midfield easily. No matter how good you pass the ball in the backcourt, can you break the dense defense?

But Yunfei is not the master if you don't let me pass the midfield, the midfield is my territory!
So Yunfei took the ball slowly to the middle circle and crossed the midfield easily. At the same time, two defensive players of the opponent rushed over from different directions in an instant.

At this time Yunfei was not flustered, he first turned his body to the side and back, first used his body to resist the opponent's first wave of body contact, and then when his body was displaced due to the collision, he dodged a passing angle from the defensive player on his right!

"Beautiful through ball! Facing the press, Yunfei calmly passed the ball to Suleman in front. This may be the scene that coach Martin Jol is least willing to see. This means that there is a loophole in his defensive line!"
