Chapter 63: The Essence of Ajax
Ajax, the top club on the European continent, is the birthplace of all-attacking football, and it is one of the four football clubs that have won the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Europa League and the UEFA Champions League. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 It has won 4 UEFA Champions Leagues, 1 UEFA Cup, 1 European Cup Winners' Cup.
On the club's wall of honour, in the trophy showroom, you will know that Ajax has such a deep heritage.
It has cultivated many stars, Cruyff, Van Basten, Bergkamp, De Boer brothers, Van der Sar, Stam, Litmanen and other stars, all of whom have come out of Ajax. In today's materialistic society, Ajax still insists on its trust and reliance on young people, and continues its tireless tradition.
As a second-tier league in Europe, the only way for the club to operate is to sell players to keep the club afloat, which is the sadness of Ajax. But even so, Koeman led the Ajax youth team to the Champions League last season. After a defeat against old rivals AC Milan, they finally reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League. The ambitious Koeman is determined to make a big splash this year and relive the glory of the Van Gaal era. In the last round of the game, Ajax beat Celta Vigo away and took three points away to Koeman's heart, and against Leicester City tonight, Koeman is confident that they can win them at home. Because he believes in the quality of the midfield led by De Jong, Sneijder and Van der Waart, even against AC Milan's world-class midfield. He believes that the Swedish hitman in the front line, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, will win the city more than the super strikers of the five major leagues. The only thing that worries people is the back line.
'Lads, we've done well in the league this year, the league title is one of our goals, but we have to have dreams, we're going to win the Champions League, and you think what the future holds. I believe you can get money, you can get beauty, you can get glory, but now we must defeat all the enemies that stand in our way, or we will lose it all. Some people may say that even if we lose the championship, we can still gain a foothold in the big five leagues. But I want to tell you that the Champions League is a litmus test of your ability, and only by breaking through the difficulties and achieving higher glory can the big clubs appreciate you, and only then will you be willing to pay a high transfer fee, and will give you more weekly wages. ”
"So now, can you tell me if you can beat Leicester at our home stadium?"
"Yes, we can."
"Now, then, go and tear up your prey, only then can you get what you want."
In formulating the tactics of this game, Hu Li's core idea is to test what Leicester City can play in the case of the Dutch technical flow of the attack, where is the real technical gap of Leicester City, find out the shortcomings, and prepare for the follow-up game, so even if you lose this game, you will also carry out this attack to the end, which is a worthwhile investment.
In the away dressing room, the Leicester City players were discussing how to go about the affair after the night, and Hu Li shook his head, these guys have been arrogant after winning a series of strong opponents in recent games. Lao Tzu's idea of being the first in the world is emerging again. Then let a failure domine the illusion of unreality. It's still too late, Hu Li can afford to lose now.
Ibrahimovic is very strong, although he is very young, but his physical strength is very abundant, not only that, but his technical work is also top-notch, in the past few years at Ajax, he has become a real striker from an S big man. A super-killer that makes post-hygiene fearful.
From the start of the game, Ibrahimovic felt the resilience of Leicester's backline, and although he was able to get rid of the opponents who were marked, the timely follow-up of the defenders prevented him from finding a good opportunity to start. Midfielder Sneijder's breakthrough is still sharp, but after the breakthrough, he was again stubbornly resisted, and Leicester City and Ajax were fighting tenaciously!
This is the essence of Ajax, no matter how far they decline, they can always be reborn in a few years.
