In the first half, PSV Eindhoven were clearly on the more prepared side, tactically completely overpowering AZ Alkmaar. AZ Alkmaar played very passively, but fortunately Kaisa had a strong ability to read the game, and took the initiative to recover to the number 10 position and stabilize the situation.

As soon as Van Gaal arrived in the dressing room, he was full of praise for Kaisa. Kaisa's recovery of the No. 10 position is one of the ways to solve the impact of the opponent's double forwards, and it is also the only meal that can be taken out in the first half of the game.

Van Gaal, though wild, has real talent and learning, and in the face of Hiddink's aggressive tactics, he also thought of a solution.

'Updham, De Zeu, the two of you are very important in the second half, take good care of their two strikers, give them more press, whoever has the ball, give them more pressure and don't give them space to shoot.

Van Gaal gave another plan, the whole line of defense was moved up, with Opdam and De Zeeuw coming up and Aarlins slightly behind to protect the last line of defense.

However, this plan is also very problematic, as long as the opposing wing-backs break through with the ball, the game will become difficult, and AZ Alkmaar will have fewer troops to defend the wings. Van Bommel and Farfan in PSV Eindhoven are not very fast, so they work.

This is a match between two teams at the highest level in the Eredivisie, and it can't be as easy as the first meeting in the league, and in that game, Kaisa completely killed Li Rongpyo and became the winner.

Today PSV Eindhoven is more on the whole, emphasizing the use of strikers, which is not easy to deal with. Van Gaal said a few more words and the second half began.

With Opdam and De Zeu calling, Beasley and Hesselinck were hampered in attack, the wide players did not come up to support, and they were not strong in individual combat, and AZ Alkmaar gradually gained the upper hand.

When Hiddink saw this, he immediately couldn't sit still, and he still had a trick. Calling on players from the sidelines, allowing Cocu to continue to climb up and create a small numerical advantage to bombard AZ Alkmaar's defence.

AZ Alkmaar's defence is not tall and clearly struggling. But Shas and Ramsey are not good at defending, and of course they will not let the opponent succeed, retreating deep to help the defense.

As a result, Lanzate can only return to the midfield to help, and there is less contact with the front.

Hiddink saw that he had won back the initiative, it was not enough, he was not satisfied, he had to score. In the 55th minute, one more card was played.

Substitution! Adjust tactics.

Replace the slower Van Bommel with the speedy Robert and let him attack AZ Alkmaar's wings. Meanwhile, full-back Isati also followed suit.

Robert and Isati quickly took the initiative on their side, and AZ Alkmaar's penalty area was suddenly in turmoil, and if it weren't for Timmer's good form in this game, he would have conceded a goal long ago.

AZ Alkmaar's midfield advantage was lost again, and Kaisa also reverted to the number 10 position to help with the defence, but he was only one man and could not help two wings. He frequently reverted to the vicinity of the penalty area and barely managed to block PSV Eindhoven's attacks.

Van Gaal finally agreed with Hiddink, "If it wasn't for Kay Sa on the field, we would have lost this game. ”

He decided to change the formation again, otherwise Kaisa's explosive point would not be able to play, and the game would not be able to play at all. The tactics are restrained, and when they can't be cracked for a while, they can only rely on the individual combat ability of the players, which is why the giants sometimes play badly, but they can still win.

The star has a flash of inspiration, it's too important.

The current situation on the field depends too much on Kaisa's coverage area, but unfortunately there is only one Kaisa and can't cover two wings. Kaisa fought hard in this game, and it can even be said that it was the hardest battle.

He needs to read the game all the time, take care of both defense and offense, and when he is a father and a mother, he finally understands the pain of the core of the small club.

He has always been grateful to Louis van Gaal, who has unleashed the maximum power for his tactics, otherwise he would not have scored so many goals even if the Eredivisie defense was mediocre. It's a top coach.

Van Gaal's change of tactics in this game is also wonderful, and the fighting style between him and Hiddink has its own merits, suppression and counter-suppression.

Now it's Van Gaal's turn to play cards.

Van Gaal decided to make a risky move, also with a substitution.

He replaced a defender, De Claire was replaced, and a central defender was added, and Bacsmolen came on, playing three central defenders.

Then Aarlins positions the premise, as wing-backs use. Kay moves to the right and is also used as a wingback.

When defending, the two wing-backs retreated to form a back five, with the midfielders standing closer together to protect the defence.

The only players left in the front court were Perez and Aviradze. But when attacking, Kaisa and Aarlins will press forward and become wingers, resulting in a numerical advantage in the frontcourt.

They have very little training on this trick, and the back three is too rare, and after Van Gaal used it, Hiddink was really confused.

He thought that the game was not easy to play, but he didn't expect it to be so bad, Kaisa was on the field, there was one more coach, and Van Gaal was on the sidelines, it was too difficult.

AZ Alkmaar did get ahead of the curve and gradually gained the upper hand.

Of course, it also matters if the individual ability of this PSV Eindhoven player is not top-notch, if he faces Ronaldo, or does not need such a good striker, Huntelaar and Kuyt, Alkmaar has already conceded the goal, and it is impossible to give Alkmaar so many opportunities to adjust.

The three centre-backs need more tacit understanding, and the improvised patchwork formation can easily catch weaknesses, but Beasley and Heselink are not capable of that.

AZ Alkmaar's midfielders were able to put pressure on the opposition strikers again, adding a big lock to the defence.

Van Gaal watched the situation change on the field and breathed a sigh of relief, if there is Kaisa in the opponent's team, he will plant it today. Kaisa's explosive ability is specialized in restraining the three-center-back system.

The offensive and defensive situation reversed, Perez and Aviradze began to press the opposing guards, frequently pressing the point guards, and Lanzate often came up to help.

Hiddink looked frightened, "Fortunately, their striker ability is not good, and if he was replaced by Kaisa, he would have been scored a long time ago." ”

Kaisa completed the defensive task and frequently assisted, but unfortunately failed to create goals. The game was very anxious, the coaches of both sides battled their wits and courage, and the players on the field kept changing roles.

Kaisa always felt that something was missing, and he couldn't get a chance, as long as he was given a chance, he could change the tide of the battle, but his teammates couldn't create it.

In the 70th minute, Van Gaal played a new card again.

Continuing to make substitutions, Aviladze went down and replaced Monaco striker Seketioyo, who is only 1.78 meters tall, with excellent dribbling and more importantly, stronger ability to do the ball.

With Seketioyu on the pitch, AZ Alkmaar's back-to-back attack was assured.

Near the Eindhoven penalty area, a large number of people were concentrated, and the messy porridge could be broken at any time.

Hiddink saw the move, made another substitution, and changed the formation. Replace striker Heselink, replace the midfielder Davies, and work with Vogel to protect the defence.

It's also a dangerous move, in order to win, fight.

PSV Eindhoven's formation instantly changed to 4213 and stabilized the defense. At the same time, Koku was in front of the two midfielders, protecting the defensive line on one side and delivering shells to the three strikers on the other.

Robert, Beasley, and Farfan formed a trident, and their attack power was more powerful. After the transition, the game was deadlocked again, with AZ Alkmaar unable to create better chances.

On the contrary, it was their own backline that almost made a mistake, and the three central defenders did not have a tacit understanding problem, and they began to be used by PSV Eindhoven's three forwards.

The trio kept passing the ball between them, and it was easy to tear apart AZ Alkmaar's defence. If it hadn't been for Kaisa's goal-line rescue, the ball would have gone into the net.

Van Gaal frowned, he had just completed the tactical counter-suppression, and was suppressed by Hiddink, which was really difficult.

Kaisa suddenly found that the opponent's Aisati assisted too much, leaving a large gap behind, and the defense became empty, and his opportunity came.
