The world's most famous handsome? Hiddink's first game in the Dutch league suffered a humiliation!

In a disgraceful battle, Hiddink was completely beaten back to his original form by Major Marshal Ajax!

PSV Eindhoven suffered a rare fiasco in recent years, and Hiddink was questioned by fans!

On the soft chair next to the beginner's pool in the swimming pool, Ye Qiu, who was wearing a pair of swimming trunks, was still dripping with water, but he was looking intently at the newspapers that Eliza had brought over that she had bought on the road.

In the pool at his feet, a mermaid is shuttling back and forth.

Hiddink became famous by bringing South Korea to the semi-finals of the World Cup in the World Cup, and for a while seemed to be rendered by the media as one of the top coaches in the world, especially in the Netherlands, because Van Gaal led the Dutch national team to the World Cup Failure, resulting in the Netherlands missing the World Cup finals, so the Dutch people are more focused on Hiddink.

There is no doubt that Hiddink's transformation of the South Korean team has been successful, but it has definitely not reached the level of being a god, and even to some extent, Hiddink is still a long way from Europe's top manager.

Ye Qiu was a little surprised by the final result of this game, he felt that this game had a little accident, that is, Hiddink's PSV Eindhoven played too passively, and when they contracted the three lines, they put the initiative of the game too much in the hands of Ajax, which undoubtedly contributed to Ajax's possession time.

In terms of possession, Ajax was as high as 68. 5 per cent, while the pass completion rate is 83. 5%, both of these figures are very high, and it can even be said that Ye Qiu has been in possession for the longest time since he began coaching, and at the same time the most efficient.

What exactly causes it?

Half-lying on the soft chair on the shore, Ye Qiu searched for the godfather cultivation system in his mind and entered the study room directly.

After three years of accumulation, the tactics books he had read about those famous commanders had filled the entire study room, and he even had to spend more reward points to expand the space of the study room to store more books.

Although Ye Qiu is from 2013, he himself has adopted a partially positive attitude towards Barcelona at the peak around 2013, and he always believes that Barcelona's ball control system must have its advanced concept that surpasses other opponents, but it is impossible for any team to copy Barcelona's set, because each team has its own uniqueness.

In the past three years, Ye Qiu has seen the tactical ideas and essence of many famous coaches in the world, and even some ordinary head coaches, and he has learned a lot of tactical ideas and ideas in all aspects, including conservatives and radicals, some tend to win on defense, and some choose to attack first, whether it is Capello, Mourinho, or Guardiola and Bielsa, Ye Qiu has seen it all.

But for the tactical ideas and concepts of these people, Ye Qiu adopts a half-believing attitude, he may agree with some of these views and deny some views, but this does not mean that these views he agrees with must be right, and those who deny it must be wrong.

There is no absolute right or wrong in this world, it seems that it is difficult to define whether a head coach is conservative or aggressive, whether he is inclined to attack or defend, Ye Qiu's selection criteria are always based on his own needs.

For ball control, Ye Qiu admires Cruyff's ideas.

When many people mention Cruyff's possession thinking, they will always mention a sentence, "Firmly control the ball at your feet, let our opponent control without the ball, and the game will be won." ”

This sentence is absolutely taken out of context, and it is the result of typical media rhetoric, which is just to put a simple and easy-to-remember label on Cruyff's concept of ball control, that is, extreme ball control.

Cruyff said that he felt that there were only two people in the middle of the midfield, which was too thin, so he liked to have three people in the midfield, this is to be able to defend better, "I like to defend more than anyone thinks, you can't win, but you can't lose. ”

"There's an episode in The Simpsons about a football game where one side is very passive and keeps passing, but they just don't attack, they are obsessed with passing, they are obsessed with their possession, and even everything they do is to keep the ball, which is meaningless, because the reason why possession is necessary is to attack through possession and try to score goals."

"What I've been emphasizing all the while is passing, and passing constitutes ball control, but uncontrolled possession is not what the pass is trying to achieve, it's simple."

"It took me many, many years before I realized that it was easy to play football, but it was hard to play simple football!"

"It's like tiki-taka, the matador wants to control the whole field, he keeps teasing the bull by all kinds of means and methods, provoking him, and then when it rushes up quickly, and when it is about to hit himself, he uses the cover of the cloak, combined with a beautiful and graceful turn, to pass by the angry bull and make him pounce."

"This is the essence of real control, on the football field, the ultimate goal of the side in possession is not to control the ball, but to let the opponent pounce like a bull, revealing a fatal flaw, and the ball holder is like a matador, with simple but very clever skills and cover, passing by the opponent."

"At that moment, the opponent's defense is the weakest, because they find themselves in the air, after revealing the flaw, they are desperately trying to slow down and then fill the hole, while the side in possession of the ball sees through the opponent's hole, desperately wants to make themselves fast, to take advantage of the hole, this fierce collision of fast and slow will bring a pleasing and wonderful scene."

"Leonardo da Vinci said, the most complicated is the simplest, I believe that all football managers have the same pursuit, that is, to score goals and win in the simplest way, which is also my pursuit!"

Ye Qiu has seen the tactical thinking of many famous coaches in the world, but he really found that the entire tactical thinking of any head coach has never been as systematic as Cruyff, and he has a complete set of tactical thinking.

This is also what Ye Qiu has always felt about him, he may not be a great manager, maybe not a likable guy, but he is definitely a great football thinker, because he is thinking about a set of philosophies that belong to football almost all the time.

Simple, hard? It's not hard!

Simple, is it easy? Not easy!

It's like we eat, drink, and sleep every day, it's very simple, very simple, as if we can do it with a gesture, but who still remembers when we just started to learn to pick up vegetables with chopsticks and learn to drink water from a cup?

Don't forget, it took us decades, or even a lifetime, to exercise to make things like eating, drinking, and sleeping easy, and if it hadn't taken that much time, would these things have been easy?

The easiest, and at the same time the hardest, because things are only easy after mastering the most complex techniques.

Therefore, possession of the ball is not the ultimate goal, simplicity is!

Back to this game, Ye Qiu felt that Ajax's possession rate was a bit high, about 60% percentage, because if you didn't give the opponent more chances, it would be equivalent to not letting the angry bull rush up, then they would probably not show their flaws at all.

Another thing that Ye Qiu is not satisfied with is that Arteta's passing is too accurate and lacks the spirit of adventure.

Arteta made a staggering 101 passes, which has never been done at Ajax in the last few years, with only five turnovers, which is terrible because Sneijder only had 61 and 11 turnovers, but he created a total of five dangerous passes.

Ye Qiu has always believed in one thing, that is, without adventure, there will never be any creativity, because the appearance of creativity itself is the result of an adventure, if there is a lack of adventure, it is impossible to be creative.

Sneijder's creativity is good, Ye Qiu did not suppress his risk too much, gave him more passing freedom and let him play, while Arteta himself is a bit too much pursuit of pass success rate, he is afraid of mistakes.

Britain is known as the most creative comedian John? "Creativity is not a gift, it's just a way of behaving, and creative people have a specific emotion that makes their creativity work, and anyone is perfectly capable of doing that." ”

Beckenbauer said, "A manager has to be more creative than a player, because a player's creativity can only make him play on the field, but the creativity of a manager is to make every player in the team more creative on the field." ”

Because he has seen a lot, Ye Qiu knows a lot, he is constantly refining his tactical ideas and concepts, he is constantly looking for the most suitable path for himself, but he has always maintained a humble attitude to learn, even if he seems arrogant many times.

It's like, three years have passed, he still hasn't changed his habit of going into the study room whenever he has time, flipping through all kinds of books, he is still absorbing knowledge from all sides all the time, and he is constantly self-improving.

In Ye Qiu's view, if some of Arteta's passes can be more risky, although Ajax's pass success rate will decrease, and the overall possession rate will also decrease, Ajax's passes will be more sudden and varied, and they will be able to create more threats to the opponent.

Thinking about this, Ye Qiu also knew where the improvement direction of the team in the next stage was.

…………

…………

On August 18, 2002, Ajax welcomed Utrecht at the Arena Stadium.

In the Eredivisie a day before Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord both beat their opponents 2-0, with Guus Hiddink and Donny van Marwijk clearly not conceding, but maintaining a solid start.

Ye Qiu also did his best to start in this game.

Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, Abidal, Kivo, Lucio and McCone at the back, Arteta, De Jong and Sneijder in midfield, and Robben, Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart in the front three.

The start of the game continued to follow the impactful style of play of Ajax in the past, and with the fifth minute, Robben's goal sounded the horn of Ajax's attack.

But it was clear that after taking the lead, Ajax played a little more rhythmically.

Arteta's possession of the ball around 30 metres outside the opposition goal and Sneijder's cruising and running within the opponent's 30-metre zone echoed each other and made Ajax's midfield organisation a threat.

Utrecht initially maintained a three-line crunch, harassing Arteta with the retreat of their strikers, but over time, their tactics were somewhat compromised, as they could not maintain such pressing for long.

In the 31st minute, Arteta passed to Sneijder, after a quick stop in the Dutch midfielder, he pushed the ball forward with his left foot, Ibrahimovic pressed the Utrecht central defender with his body, forced his body to break away from the opponent's defense, and volleyed at the edge of the penalty area, and the ball went into the net, 2:0!

With two goals in a row, Ajax looked like they were in a hurry, and in the second half, they frequently threatened Utrecht's penalty area, but the latter's defense was well organised and kept Ajax's attack out of the box.

But in the 67th minute, Robben used his personal skills on the left side to force a breakthrough, quickly cut into the penalty area, picked up the back point, Van der Vaart followed up in time to hit the supplementary shot, further expanding the score for Ajax, 3:0!

At this moment, Utrecht has completely lost the determination to resist stubbornly, Ye Qiu saw that the overall situation was decided, and also made substitution adjustments, and substitute Ibrahimovic came on Huntelaar's goal in the 86th minute, the score was finally locked at 4:0, and it also won a big victory for Ajax in the first round of the new season.

With a 4-0 win at the Arena Stadium, Ajax suddenly jumped to the top of the league standings.

On the second day, major Dutch newspapers published reports on Ajax, believing that this Ajax team showed a very different tactical style from the previous Ajax team, both before the season and in the first round of the league.

"In the past, Ajax opened and closed, went straight, very impactful very quickly, but lacked variety, but now this Ajax team is obviously more varied and sudden, they can play very fast, they can create lightning attacks in the opening game, but they can also play very slowly, with you slowly to the feet and move the ball."

"If you think you can relax and be careless because of their slowness, then you're wrong, whether it's Barcelona or Manchester United, or Juventus and PSV Eindhoven, they're paralyzed by their slowness, because as soon as they find a flaw, they often only need a pass to completely tear apart your defence."

"Everyone used to think that losing Gilberto? Silva and Seydoux? Keita will cause huge losses to Ajax's midfield, and the strength will be weakened, but judging from the current situation, Ye Qiu has not damaged the strength of his team, on the contrary, Arteta's addition has made this Ajax team more changed and more threatening. ”

A week later, Ajax travelled to Vitesse.

It was still the opening attack, and Ajax knocked on Vitesse's goal in the 16th minute through Ibrahimovic.

It was also the second consecutive league game for the Swedish centre-forward, with Ajax's attacking performance outstanding.

After conceding the goal, Vitesse steadily counterattacked at his home stadium, which caused Ajax a lot of problems, until the second half, with two goals from McCone and Kiv, Ajax defeated their opponents 3-0 away again, and won two consecutive Eredivisie wins.

It was also in this round that Guus Hiddink's side managed to win at their home stadium and in the 92nd minute it was through Worgher that they beat Groningen with a goal and narrowly escaped with three points, but Van Marwijk's side were not so lucky, they were twice equalised by Roda JC after leading twice on the road, and finally drew 2-2.

Many media outlets have criticized and doubted Van Marwijk's fall, believing that Feyenoord will fall out of the ranks of the champions from now on, while Ajax and PSV Eindhoven will continue to soar.

Sure enough, in the third round of the league, Feyenoord defeated the opponent 4:1 when they met the Rotterdam city team SBV Elite, while PSV Eindhoven beat AZ Alkmaar 4:0 away, Kezman scored a brace, and Hiddink's adjustment to PSV Eindhoven initially showed results.

However, Ajax did not fall behind in the face of winning opponents, Ye Qiu's side challenged Groningen away, Van der Vaart scored twice, and goals from Robben and Lucio helped Ajax beat Groningen 4-1 away.

At the end of this round of games, Ajax and PSV Eindhoven have won three consecutive victories, of which Ajax has scored 11 goals and conceded 1 goal in three games, occupying the leading position in the Eredivisie, while Hiddink's PSV Eindhoven is close behind, it is worth noting that Eindhoven, who left Nikiforov this season, conceded 1 goal in the first three rounds of the league.

It is no surprise that Feyenoord are third in the Eredivisie with two wins and one draw.

As many Dutch media have speculated, despite Hiddink's strong entry this season, Ajax's performance has once again been surprising, especially after leaving Gilberto? Silva and Seydoux? After Keita's two tiger generals, Ye Qiu's team was not weakened at all, but improved his combat effectiveness and offensive ability.

"If there are no surprises, this season's Eredivisie title will still be a battle between Ajax and PSV Eindhoven, and Van Marwijk may still have a chance, although the strength of this team is obviously not as competitive as Ajax and PSV Eindhoven, but if Van Marwijk sticks to the Eredivisie with both Ajax and PSV Eindhoven focused on the European stage, then he may not have a chance!"

This is also the worry of many media people about Ajax, thinking that Ye Qiu shouted out his ambition to plot the Champions League too early, which will bring pressure to the players, but as everyone knows, within Ajax, the players' ambitious shouts to the head coach show a strong fighting spirit and **.

Ibrahimovic, Lucio, Robben, Van der Vaart......

This group of players were the main players in the last four of last season's Champions League, and they continue to stay at Ajax with only one purpose, which is to achieve better and more brilliant results than last season, if they can't do this, then how can Ajax keep them?

Ye Qiu's shouting may have put him in the limelight and become the target of many media attacks in Europe, but it allowed him to once again consolidate the unity within the team and inspire the players' fighting spirit and victory.

The three consecutive wins at the beginning of the Eredivisie are undoubtedly the best evidence!
