Premier League New Season Tour - Tottenham Hotspur, a pragmatic coach who left the team for meritorious results, can Tottenham quickly complete the bottoming rebound in the new season

Review of last season

Last season can be said to be the most dramatic season in Tottenham's history. The league level was a disaster, and it was finally ranked 17th. Although it was 13 points ahead of the relegation zone and did not worry about relegation throughout the season, as a BIG6 team with relatively stable results in previous seasons, this result on the verge of relegation is indeed unacceptable to the team. Even if there is a breakthrough in the European competition, defeating Manchester United and winning the UEFA Cup championship to end the 17-year championship drought, last season was also a very failure for Tottenham. On the one hand, the sharp decline in performance is that Postkoglu has always adhered to the tactic of oppression of high positions in the league. After Son Heung-min's form has declined significantly, the team's offensive efficiency has been affected. The defense line has suffered serious injuries for two consecutive seasons. The way of playing openly magnifies the team's defensive pressure, which is in sharp contrast to the successful achievement of playing low-level defense and counter-resistance in the Europa League. When I first arrived at Tottenham, Postkoglu's playing style did give people a glimpse of his eyes, but based on the team's serious injury problems, continuing to play radically did cause relatively large losses to the team, so leading the team to end the championship drought could not stop the fate of being dismissed. Team captain Son Heung-min transferred to the FC Los Angeles yesterday, which also marked the end of an era in Tottenham.

Summer transfer:

Soviet Tottenham has completed two important signings.

1, 63 million signed to Kudus from West Ham United. The offensive data at West Ham United last season was not ideal, but he could play in many positions in the frontcourt and had a relatively comprehensive ability. Judging from the preseason arrangement, he is the starting lineman of the right winger in the new season. He is familiar with the Premier League environment and can quickly integrate into the team's tactics.

2. He was loaned to Paligna from Bayern. Last season, Bayern played very limited playing time. In the past, he showed very good midfielder ability and stealing and interception attributes online. His arrival can fill the team's unfavorable midfield defense gap that the team had last season.

3. Buy out Terl and Denso. The two didn't play much time at Tottenham last season. In the new season, they are a very good addition to the team's offense and defense. At present, the team has given Terl very high expectations, and they can play in the middle and middle. Son Heung-min left the team, and Terl and Johnson compete to rotate on the left. Danso strengthened the team's bench thickness on the back line. The few appearances last season were almost always with the defender injured, and his performance was relatively stable.

Son Heung-min just left the team, Tottenham Hotspur has no plan to strengthen their ability and compete with the winger. At present, the target of signing is in the No. 10 position and the defense line. Madison suffered a serious injury and was unable to play for a short time. Tottenham Hotspur continued to replenish players of equal strength in the midfield position. There have been rumors that Tottenham is interested in Real Madrid Rodrigo, but at present, Tottenham has no plans to advance, and the midfielder and defender have no real goals at the moment. There is still one month left to close the window, and I believe Tottenham will have some moves.

Lineup and Tactics:

Frank had previously played 3-5-2 and 4-3-3 at Brentford to defend against the low post. Tottenham had a lot of talents in the frontcourt. Judging from the preseason arrangement, it was still mainly 4-2-3-1, but it may be more pragmatic than Postkoglu in tactics. Reforming the defense line is Frank's current work focus.

According to the preseason layout, Solank/Risalisson are rotated in the offensive end center position, while the winger is a combination of Risalisson/Ter + Kudus/Johnson. The frontcourt players have the attributes of being able to hit and go. No matter how they match, it is enough to ensure the quality and speed of the team's counterattack. When Madison is unable to play for the time being, Kulusevsky and Saar may appear in the front midfielder position. The double back midfielder Bisuma + Palinia should be a fixed match for the new season, or Bentankur and Archgray can compete for rotation. The defense line is relatively fixed. The full-back is a combination of Udoji + Polo last season, while the central defender is Van der Fen to be Romero. Teel, Odobet and Archie Gray performed well in the World Youth Championship. Although they didn't play many games last season, they all performed well. Frank is good at transforming and using young players reasonably. Tottenham can also storm in the new season.

The hidden danger of Tottenham's lineup is that the left winger has no choice that matches Son Heung-min's ability. Richard Son, Terr and Johnson's playback are average, and the threat of Son Heung-min's playback is not as good as Son Heung-min's playback. This depends on how Frank transforms and uses it reasonably. Madison at the No. 10 position is not currently there. The offensive organization sorts out who can complete it with quality and quantity is also something Frank needs to think about. The lineup of the defense line is complete, but if frequent injuries in the previous two seasons continue to occur, there are still hidden concerns in multi-line combat this season.

New season goals and challenges:

The results of the league last season are a good opportunity for Tottenham Hotspur in the new season to bottom out and rebound. If Frank, who plays more pragmatically, the primary goal of the new season is to return to the European war zone at the league level. After all, it is still very difficult to talk about championships based on the team's current signing situation and the overall team lineup. Ensuring the stability of the league is the basic goal of Tottenham Hotspur's reconstruction. If the league returns to the European War Zone as its goal, the investment in the Champions League may be smaller. If it reaches the knockout stage, it will be considered as completing the established goal of the foreign war.

After sending off Son Heung-min and some redundant staff, Tottenham basically maintained the framework of last season. There was no new blood on the back line for the time being. The team still faced the challenge of collapse in the new season. The team's current investment is still relatively small compared with other BIG6 teams, that is, the combat power is slightly weak. The BIG6 civil war in the new season is still a big challenge for Tottenham. Whether it can successfully return to the forefront of the league, it is still necessary to ensure the stability of competition with mid- and lower-level teams.

In terms of schedule, the early stage is Tottenham's snatching intervals. In the nine rounds before November, only the second round of away matches between Manchester City and the eighth round of Villa are difficult. The remaining seven games face the downstream and newly promoted teams last season. Whether they can score points depends on the stability of Tottenham's new season.. Then by the end of the first half, Tottenham will play Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal away, and in December, they will play away against Newcastle and Liverpool at home. During this period, there will be several London derby games against Crystal Palace and Fulham. Considering the Champions League schedule, for Tottenham, whether they can rank a good position at the end of the season, the performance during this period is particularly important. Starting from February, there will be seven consecutive tough battles, with Manchester United, Newcastle and Arsenal, and away against Liverpool after a London derby with Fulham and Crystal Palace. Tottenham has lost points and collapsed in the second half of the league for two consecutive seasons. The scores in these seven games are directly related to the team's performance ranking at the end of the season. Tottenham Hotspur in the new season can be said to be full of difficulties.

Summary:

The league has left the team with a bottoming out, and Tottenham has also ushered in a real reconstruction. The decisive change of postkoglu, who is too ideal in playing, welcomes the pragmatic Frank, which is enough to see the team's determination to bottom out and rebound. However, in the new season, with the competition for BIG6 teams to add arms, Tottenham obviously has shortcomings in competitiveness. The pursuit of excessively high goals in the new season may put the team in danger again. Under the frequent devil schedule, it depends on whether Frank can play the previous characteristics of stitching the lineup shortcomings in Brentford to activate younger development, helping Tottenham gradually move onto the right path of reconstruction.
