"You're going to have two hours of tactical learning every day from now on, and what I'm going to tell you today is what our tactical framework looks like for the new season. What are our core elements? ”

At 4pm on the first day of the training camp, the Ajax first team held their first tactical preparation meeting after the training camp in the tactical preparation room, which lasted for two hours, followed by a half-hour break and the third training session at 6:30.

Three training sessions a day, this is the training plan and arrangement finalized during Ye Qiu's season preparations.

"I'm sure all of you know that tactics are always moving forward, the previous tactics were looser and less rigorous, and the tactics at that time were more focused on counterpoint battles, what does this mean?"

"To put it simply, strikers vs. central defenders, full-backs vs. full-backs, midfielders vs. midfielders, this is a match-up contest, and in this match-up contest, what determines the victory of a football game is the individual strength of the players, and the more match-up games you win, the more match-up battles you can win, the more you can win a game."

This is not difficult to understand, Ye Qiu has been preparing for this tactical lesson for a long time, and even specially with Bobby? Harms and others studied for a long time, and it was not easy to sort out such an easy-to-understand tactical analysis.

Therefore, many players at the scene listened and nodded incessantly.

"But I want to tell you that in the last year or two, and even in the future, football will be more compact and rigorous than ever before, and every inch of space on the pitch will be used more efficiently, and in this case, the players will interact with each other more often, and the matchup will no longer determine the winner of a game!"

This is not difficult to understand, there were not many echoes before, and it was easy to fall into one-on-one, but now that it is rigorous and echoes more, it is easy to fall into a one-to-two, or even one-to-many situation, so Ye Qiu's words also made this group of players who had played football understand at once.

"What determines the winner of a game?"

The answer is already clear.

"Teamwork!" Ye Qiu wrote this word on the tactical blackboard, "And in teamwork, the most important thing is running without the ball, which is the foundation of a team's life and the key to a team's victory, because in a game, most of the time, the players are in a state without the ball, right?" ”

After that, Ye Qiu released a video.

The video shows one of the scenes from the Ajax II team playing in the cup last season.

Huntelaar pulled out a central defender of the opposing side, Sneijder picked up the pass, Van der Vaart cut diagonally into the penalty area, took advantage of the gap exposed by the opponent's central defender being pulled out of the defensive area, and after the successful anti-offside, he won the ball to form a single knife.

"It's a two-pronged problem, Huntelaar retreats, the centre-backs follow or not?"

The players on the scene all showed thoughtful looks, which was also the effect that Ye Qiu wanted, making them think more.

"With, there is naturally a gap behind him, if you don't follow, Huntelaar can easily get the ball, and at this time we can have more offensive routines, such as Huntelaar taking the ball, Sneijder suddenly stepped forward, attracted defenders, and then passed diagonally to Van der Vaart, which can still create a threat!"

Everyone showed a thoughtful look, and they all knew that Ye Qiu was right.

At this moment, Kifu raised his hand, "Chief, according to what you say, if you encounter such an attack, how can you defend it?" ”

What Ye Qiu wanted was to speak freely, so he smiled and motioned for Kifu to sit down, "It's very simple, if we are working together as a team, the midfield retreats, after Huntelaar retreats, the midfielder will block it as soon as possible, and then in turn, the forwards will also retreat, and the defensive system of the whole team will remain tight and rigorous, and the problem will be solved!" ”

"So, this tells us a very important truth, offense is not the responsibility of the offensive player, and defense is not only the responsibility of the defender, we are a whole, offense and defense are a whole, and running, can make us run more smoothly, become more controllable, and become stronger."

"I would even go so far as to say that as long as the tactical formation continues to develop towards compactness and rigor, the importance of running off the ball will become more and more important, and teams that do not have a reasonable and excellent running system without the ball will be eliminated, and players who lack the awareness of running without the ball will also be eliminated!"

Ye Qiu's words were very confident and decisive, and also made all the players present clearly aware of the importance of running without the ball, whether it is for the team or for themselves.

After making everyone aware of the importance of running without the ball, Ye Qiu spent a lot of time explaining his understanding of running without the ball, as well as the use and requirements of running without the ball in training, all of which were to allow all players to have a deeper understanding of Ye Qiu's training objectives and tactical requirements.

A person will only accept and work hard when he understands what he is doing for him.

After talking about running without the ball, Ye Qiu spent a long time, adding some videos and videos, plus the positioning, running and area control chart of the team 433 that he had drawn before, to analyze his specific tactical framework and tactical settings, so that every player can understand the specific responsibilities he bears in this set of tactics.

What the fullbacks have to do, what the central midfielders have to do, and what the strikers have to do, Ye Qiu has a clear division, so he uses this way to instill in the players and let them understand, but this is just the beginning, because after understanding, you must be familiar, you must know how to use, and you must know how to maintain coordination.

It can be said that there is still a long way to go, but Ye Qiu must move forward step by step.

…………

…………

"I really didn't expect that the leader had done so many things without us knowing the truth!"

When he returned to the locker room to rest and prepare for the third training session, Sneijder said in disbelief that Ye Qiu had instilled a lot of tactical knowledge and content related to the team in this two-hour tactical class.

"I think the tactics of the leader are further improved on the basis of the second team, and it is still 433, but many details have become different, such as the forward, pay more attention to the connection and echo with the left and right wingers, this aspect is my weakness!" Huntelaar saw his own shortcomings.

"Don't worry, the leader also said, as long as you are willing to work hard, there is nothing you can't do!" Van der Vaart comforted.

They are all old courtiers of the second team last season, and they admire Ye Qiu so much that they have no doubt, but the new players are not so easily convinced.

"Don't you ever doubt that what you say may be empty words, not necessarily right, what tactics are rigorous and teamwork, doesn't this mean that the strikers are also involved in the defense, and the defenders are also involved in the attack? If you run like this, the strikers come back to defend, and the physical consumption is serious, how can you have time to score? ”

Ibrahimovic is a thorn, and at the same time he also has a sense of fear and resistance towards Ye Qiu, plus he himself is not the kind of player who likes to run more, so he is naturally a little resistant.

"You'll suspect it's because you weren't involved, but we're ......," Van der Vaart proudly glanced at a few of his teammates beside him, "...... We are the witnesses of the head team football! ”

"Like, how do you think we got the Dutch Cup?" Sneijder also responded.

As soon as this matter was mentioned, there was an uproar in the locker room, all the new players had never heard of it before, and after coming to Amsterdam, they vaguely heard some clues, but they never understood the truth of the matter, and now Van der Vaart and Sneijder said it, naturally they were interested one by one and asked questions.

"We were still on the second team!" Kifu took the initiative to tell everyone about the process, "I was sent by the first team later, they were all promoted from the youth team, and at that time our team was basically a group of 16-year-olds, and no one would look up to us because we played in the Dutch Cup with a group of professional league teams. ”

Even amateur fans know how big the gap is between professional teams and youth teams, let alone this group of professional players.

After listening to Kifu's words, even those who were as arrogant as Eevee came closer and listened attentively.

"We were up against the Eagles of the Eredivisie, and everybody said we were going to lose, but in the end, we beat the opponent and advanced to the next round, which is nothing, but we drew Eindhoven!"

"Last season's Eredivisie winners, PSV Eindhoven?" Gilberto? Silva was a little surprised, he knew the team before.

"Yes, PSV Eindhoven were invincible in the Eredivisie, they didn't lose a single game in the Netherlands, and in Europe they were teams that played on par with the likes of Bayern Munich and Valencia, with the likes of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Van Bommel in the team, and they just beat our first team 4-0 at the Arena!"

"It's over, it's over, you're not going to die?" Yaya? Toure shouted in a little panic.

Ibu glanced at him, "They won the championship at the last time, how could they die?" ”

Yaya? Toure suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, and he laughed and simply stopped talking.

"That's right, at that time, the whole Holland thought that we were dead, even the Ajax fans thought that we must be finished, and the management of the club also saw that we were going to die, and Mr. Chairman also said that as long as we didn't lose too ugly, it would be fine!" Kivo Ha said with a smile, I can't see that this guy's eloquence is not bad.

Everyone in the locker room listened, and their hearts were dark, at that time, it can really be said that there is no life, who still wants to win?

"And how did you defeat Eindhoven?" Gilberto? Silva asked with concern.

Van der Vaart laughed, "Everyone thinks we're going to lose, and we think we're going to lose, but the boss just keeps telling us, who the fuck is going to lose?" He kept telling us that as long as we are willing to fight, no one on the football field is a natural loser, even if it is the powerful PSV Eindhoven, we will kill him! ”

"Well said!" Lucio didn't talk much, but he was very tough, and he felt that Ye Qiu had a taste for him.

The people who play football are all bloody, and when they heard Ye Qiu say this, many people present were impressed by the head coach of Svenwen, even Ibrahimovic, who was not very sensitive to Ye Qiu, couldn't help but flash admiration.

"We don't have much capital, in terms of strength, not as good as the opponent, in terms of experience, not as good as the opponent, we lose everything, but the head tells us that we have two things that cannot be lost, one is the whole, we are a team, facing a war, all of us have to advance and retreat together, who is cowardly, who is selfish, who is the turtle bastard!"

"Well said!"

"That's how it should be!"

There was a sudden response in the locker room, and many players were also enthusiastic.

"Another is the fighting spirit, I dare to say that, everyone has no confidence in us, that is, the boss always has confidence in us and keeps encouraging us!"

Speaking of which, Van der Vaart looked at Kifu and Sneijder and others, and even the silent Abidal couldn't help but show a look of remembrance, which made everyone present have a feeling that professional players can have such a game in their lives, it is worth being proud of for a lifetime!

"It was a tough game, it was very difficult, PSV Eindhoven took all the advantages, pressed us to keep playing, kept fighting, played so that we couldn't fight back, we almost couldn't support it, but all of us gritted our teeth, everyone held on to the last breath, because none of us wanted to be the first to give up on our teammates!"

Those present have all played the ball, or watched the ball, and naturally know what kind of passive situation the weak side will be in in the case of a huge disparity in strength, and it is natural to imagine how much pressure and pain this group of Ajax second team players took on at that time.

But what does it prove that they beat PSV Eindhoven at the end of the game?

Isn't that what proves Ye Qiu's words?

Team is the key and foundation for a team to win!

"After defeating PSV Eindhoven, what's next?" McCone saw that no one asked, and that the locker room was quiet, so he mustered up the courage to ask his doubts.

Kifu smiled and took Van der Vaart's words, "After defeating PSV Eindhoven, it was just the beginning, but it gave us unprecedented self-confidence, and it also convinced us all that what the leader said was right, as long as we unite and advance and retreat together, there is no opponent in this world that we cannot defeat!" ”

"After that, we met Utrecht, Heerenveen and finally Feyenoord in the final!"

The three teams, each of which finished higher than Ajax in the Eredivisie last season, show the quality of these three teams, with Heerenveen and Feyenoord in second and third place respectively, both reaching the Champions League.

It can be said that any team casually has the strength to crush this weak youth team to death.

However, Ajax II had the last laugh and won the Dutch Cup.

In the case of not understanding the situation and not understanding the opponent, everyone will only laugh when they hear that the second team won the Dutch Cup, at most they just say that it is not easy, but only after they really understand the opponent, understand the environment, and understand the situation, they will know how difficult it is.

"At that time, we played very hard in every game, every game was a fight for our lives, but we trusted our head very much from beginning to end, he said to the east, we went to the east, he said to the west, we did not hesitate to go west, the last, we laughed the last, won the championship!"

Quietly in the locker room, everyone can feel that this group of players from the second team of Ajax has such a unique temperament in their spirit, or rather, each of them seems to have such a stubbornness that does not admit defeat and does not admit defeat.

This is a group of soldiers who have experienced a brutal baptism, and everyone can easily feel their tenacious style on the court from their bodies, as well as the fighting spirit that fights to the last minute and second.

This is the player brought out by head coach Ye Qiu!

Everyone didn't speak for a while, because from the mouths of this group of players from the second team, they had a more comprehensive understanding of their head coach, and they all had a stronger sense of trust in the head coach from the bottom of their hearts.

More than half a year ago, the head coach said that he would lead the young second team to win the Dutch Cup, and he did it.

Half a year later, this year, he said that he would lead this group of unknown young players to attack the Eredivisie championship, and he would definitely be able to do it.

Even the arrogant Ibrahimovic, after listening to Van der Vaart and the others' words, his impression of Ye Qiu changed greatly, at least he felt a lot less fear of Ye Qiu in his heart, because from the words of Van der Vaart and the others, he could feel the trust between them.

This is also what Ye Qiu said at the tactical preparation meeting, the most important thing for a team is to trust each other.

Passing the ball depends on trust, assists rely on trust, and everything on the football field is based on trust.

Without trust, any team is a mess.

Perhaps seeing that no one spoke, and the locker room was quiet, Van der Vaart stood up and smiled, "So, I never doubted what the boss said, he said that if we can do it, then we can do it, and I don't doubt that, because that's not what I should be concerned about." ”

"For me, trust our leader, do what he asks you to do, do your best, that's enough!"

"Raphael is right, if the boss can say it, he will definitely do it!" Kivu agrees.

"Alright, it's time to get out and train!" Fred? Grim clapped his hands and shouted, his expression a little embarrassed, because he was a first-team player last season, and the glory of the second team had nothing to be proud of for him, but more of a shame, an embarrassment.

Ye Qiu really didn't know that his players would have such an exchange in the locker room after the training session, but he obviously felt that the players' training enthusiasm had increased a lot in the last training session in the afternoon, which was a very good phenomenon, and he felt happy in his heart.

He is also more confident in the future!
