Volume 1 Chapter 179 Ye Qiu's Revenge
When the game reached the 52nd minute, Robben dribbled the ball on the left side past Gattuso and Simic in succession, and knocked it to Ibrahimovic in the middle of the penalty area, the Swede did not waste the opportunity from his teammates, this time he finally grasped it and pumped the ball into the goal of AC Milan, 3:0!
No one knows what happened to AC Milan in this game, and no one knows what happened to AC Milan, and when Ancelotti did not change or adjust the team's tactics at halftime, he did not even make any substitutions.
Andrea Pirlo was normal, as evidenced by the team's time on the ball, with 58. 4% possession, which is already higher than Ajax's 41. 6% is a full 6 higher. 8% of the time on the ball, so Pirlo is fine, even Gattuso and Seedorf are fine.
If there were problems with those three midfielders, they would not have had that much possession.
What's the problem?
"It's hard to imagine that in such an important game, Inzaghi and Shevchenko both had only two shots on goal, and the two of them combined had only four shots on goal, while AC Milan only got seven shots in total, with only two shots on target, which is very, very inefficient!"
"And if we look at AC Milan's possession time, it seems to be a long time, but the time of the ball in their own half, AC Milan is 52. 3%, Ajax followed by 47. 7%, that is, although AC Milan has more time on the ball, the ball is still moving more on AC Milan's side, which means that there is no need to say more. ”
"Ajax's success in using AC Milan's half as their home field is undoubtedly a very smart approach for the home team, and although AC Milan gets more time on the ball, it is also equivalent to burying more hidden dangers in their own half, often as soon as they concede the ball, Ajax can create a counter-attacking threat."
"There is also the front trident that the media and Ancelotti have high hopes for in this game, almost nothing, Rivaldo sleepwalked the whole game, Shevchenko and Inzaghi did not show the strength that a top scorer should have, but Ajax, 9 shots on goal and 7 shots on target scored 3 goals, the efficiency is really high, very high."
After Ajax's lethal third goal, Carlo Ancelotti sat in the dugout, leaning back to prevent the camera camera from catching his expression, but as anyone can imagine, it must have been ugly.
The AC Milan players on the pitch have also lost their fighting spirit, because Ancelotti has not made any substitutions even now, which has proved that the manager has given up this game, given up resistance, and gave up fighting, which makes the AC Milan players seem to have what is the point of the game?
Ajax's substitution started with the third goal, Ye Qiu first replaced two players in one go, and used Yaya? Toure replaced Arteta, then Robben with Hleb, and in the 75th minute, Ye Qiu replaced McCone with Heitinga.
The Brazilian right-back has been getting better and better this season, and his combination with Van der Vaart on the right side has also shown strong attacking power, but what is even more rare is that he has actually done a good job of defending on the right side, and there have been several games where Ye Qiu has asked him to take more defense, and he has done it well.
AC Milan made two substitutions, one in the 80th minute, with Rui? Costa replaces Shevchenko.
This substitution caused some of his own opinions from the on-site commentator, who felt that it was a silent protest by Ancelotti, but it seemed that he did not have the slightest ability to fight back.
"It was revealed before the game that AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi repeatedly said that Shevchenko and Inzaghi should play at the same time, and he felt that the two strikers could be compatible, and it was revealed that before this game, Berlusconi specially called Ancelotti and asked for a double striker anyway."
"Carlo Ancelotti didn't make any substitutions for the whole game, but as soon as he made a substitution, he replaced Shevchenko and replaced Rui? Costa, reverting to his 4321 tactics, is more or less a rebellion against Berlusconi. ”
However, the on-site commentator also said that AC Milan fell behind 0:3, morale has dried up, and it is impossible to catch it back, and the players have lost their fighting spirit, after all, Ancelotti did not show a strong ** that must be won throughout the game.
At the end of the day, Carlo Ancelotti made another substitution, replacing Kaladze with Costacuta, but it was already the 87th minute, and this time the substitution was more of a formality, as if to bid Costa Curta farewell to this season's Champions League.
"According to the latest news and intelligence we have received, Deportivo La Coruna beat Bayern Munich 2-1 at their home stadium, so it is clear that the two qualifying teams in Group G are Deportivo La Coruna and Ajax who finished first and second respectively in the group, AC Milan have won the right to participate in the UEFA Cup, while Bayern Munich have been eliminated."
"As early as after this super death group was just separated, all the media believed that Bayern Munich and AC Milan were the most likely to join forces to qualify, but in the end, what I didn't expect was that it was Deportivo La Coruna and Ajax who finally qualified, which was indeed a bit unexpected."
"Especially Ajax, Ye Qiu's team reached the semi-finals of the Champions Cup last season, many people think it was accident and luck, but judging from the group stage this season, even if this team goes Gilberto? Silva and Seydoux? Keita's overall strength is still very good, and this season is even better than last season. ”
"In the six games in Group G, Ajax beat AC Milan twice, drew with Bayern Munich twice, and also won one and lost one game with Deportivo La Coruna, but it is worth noting that counting the three goals in this game, Ajax scored a total of 13 goals, although Valencia, Manchester United, and Real Madrid all have more goals than Ajax, and from the perspective of group opponents, Ajax's goals have more weight."
"Of course, this team is not completely without problems, Ajax has conceded 8 goals in 6 games, the team's defense is indeed not enough, it is estimated that this has something to do with the departure of the two players in the midfield, after all, Gilberto? Silva and Seydoux? Keita is an important part of the team's defensive system. ”
"But no matter what, the performance of the youngest team in the Champions League this season is as worthy of recognition as ever, and Ye Qiu once again used the team's right to qualify from the group to prove his coaching ability to everyone, but it is obvious that there is still a bit of a gap to fulfill the promise he made to the fans at the beginning of the season."
At the beginning of the season, when the team performed well, Ye Qiu said that he wanted to compete for the Champions League with all the European giants, which was regarded as a joke by many media, and judging from the group stage of the Ajax Champions League this season, this team does have strong strength and can stand out from the super group of death, which is worthy of recognition.
But when it comes to competing for the championship, I really don't see it.
…………
…………
In the game played at the San Siro Stadium, although Ancelotti lost, he still maintained his handsome demeanor, and took the initiative to come over to shake hands with Ye Qiu, showing his bearing as the master, and this time Ye Qiu was certainly no exception.
As soon as the whistle blew, he walked to the front of the visitors' dugout and reached out to Carlo Ancelotti from a distance.
In this case, it was not appropriate to say anything, so Ye Qiu just looked at Ancelotti with a smile and did not speak.
Ancelotti stretched out his hand and shook hands with Ye Qiu, "Your team has performed even better, and winning is a matter of course." ”
The tone in which he said this made Ye Qiu somewhat unwilling, maybe he felt that there were other reasons for his loss.
"I've watched all the games of AC Milan this season, I've watched some of the important games at least three times, and my assistants and I have been following and studying your team all the time, and we've learned a lot from you, so no matter what, we want to thank you for coming to the Arena Stadium!"
Ye Qiu's words are neither humble nor arrogant, he was telling Ancelotti in front of him, put away your resentful posture, I have already studied you very thoroughly, even if there are no so-called off-the-field factors of yours, I can still defeat you.
And the latter words were said by Ye Qiu in order not to anger Ancelotti and to show the bearing of his master's family.
After Ancelotti listened, he looked at Ye Qiu deeply and couldn't say anything.
Judging from the game scene, Ajax completely suppressed AC Milan, it can be said that the only thing the Rossoneri can do is possession, but this thing is deliberately released by Ajax, in order to let AC Milan control the ball more in the midfield and backfield, in order to focus more on limiting AC Milan's midfield and let it go, which has no meaning in itself.
Possession aside, AC Milan were thoroughly studied by Ajax throughout the game.
In the first round at the San Siro Stadium, Ancelotti was the 4321 in the row, but he didn't kill Ajax, but was killed by Ajax; In the second round, he played 4312 and lost miserably, if he really wanted to make excuses, he really lost face and lost his identity, so Ancelotti could only swallow this bitter fruit in the end.
After Ye Qiu shook hands with Ancelotti, he didn't linger, turned around and left, hugging his players one by one at the entrance of the players' tunnel, congratulating them on their qualification from the group, and encouraging them to keep up the good work.
"After playing the group stage, it is another round of group stage, no matter who our opponent is, we have only one goal, to qualify!"
"No matter what game we are playing, no matter what event we are playing, we always have only one goal, the championship!"
Ye Qiu's loud words in the locker room made this group of Ajax players who won the ball find their goal again.
They were unhappy to reach the semi-finals last season but ended up in the semi-finals, and now they are back in the picture, who doesn't want to be disgraced last season, who doesn't want to make a name for themselves in the Champions League?
After motivating the players, Ye Qiu walked out of the locker room and went to the press conference at the Arena Arena.
When he arrived, Ancelotti had not yet come, but there were already a lot of reporters gathered at the scene, probably more than 100, including reporters from several domestic media, tracking Ajax reports has become one of their habits, and the influence of the Eredivisie in China has also risen, even no less than the four major leagues.
After Ye Qiu said hello to the host, he walked into the venue, and suddenly a burst of magnesium lights flashed on the scene, all of which were directed at Ye Qiu, and the latter sat in his position with a big smile.
Just when everyone thought that Ye Qiu should be politely waiting for Ancelotti, he smiled at an Italian reporter directly opposite, he vaguely remembered that this person had embarrassed himself in San Siro, and his newspaper La Repubblica was also one of the Italian newspapers that attacked him the most, so he asked with a smile: "From Italy?" ”
The reporter nodded suddenly, "I'm a reporter from La Repubblica!" ”
"Oh!" Ye Qiu nodded, but immediately asked with a smile: "While Mr. Ancelotti is not here, why don't I ask you in turn first, what do you think of the result of this game?" ”
The Italian reporter was obviously stunned, and when there was a burst of laughter at the scene, he realized that he had become the target of Ye Qiu's revenge, and the Ajax manager was obviously fighting back against the previous attacks on him by the Italian media.
"yes, what do you think?"
"Tell me about it!"
Some of the colleagues at the scene were very contemptuous of their peers, and they wished that this poor reporter would become the object of ridicule from everyone, which suddenly made the Italian reporter feel a little ugly.
The Italian reporter looked around, it can be described as a crowd of emotions, suddenly a little unable to sit still, stood up, "You won the result, but AC Milan won the process!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Ye Qiu burst out laughing, and he laughed so well that everyone present could easily feel Ye Qiu's attitude towards this reporter, or the Italian media he represented behind him.
Perhaps in the past few years, as the first league in the world, the Serie A league with the title of the Little World Cup has made this group of media people unable to keep up with the pace outside, and they can't accept that La Liga and the Premier League are constantly challenging Serie A, and Serie A is no longer the small World Cup that all football people flocked to in the past.
But there was only this group of people, who were still in the past, and who still had the pride of an uncrowned king who looked down on all beings from above.
Ye Qiu is going to completely tear off their pride today, step on the soles of their feet, and trample on them wantonly!
"You should tell me how AC Milan won the process. Lost the result again? Ye Qiu asked with a smile.
He has no grudges against AC Milan, but unfortunately this team is his opponent and the Italian media have made it clear that they are backing the Rossoneri, so he can only do so now.
'They got more of the edge and showed control, but they lost the game. A journalist, who looked to be the same Italian, stood up and defended his peers with a lot of hatred.
After Ye Qiu listened, Ha Lu Ha Da laughed, "The advantage you talked about, the control you said, in the end, we got 13 shots on goal, while AC Milan only had 7 times, and most of the game was played in AC Milan's half, we got more chances and created more threats, but they couldn't organize an effective attack." ”
"Perhaps, in Italy, you don't decide by the number of goals, but by the possession!"
Ye Qiu's words immediately provoked everyone present, except for the Italian media, who burst into laughter.
Serie A is notoriously unfocused on possession, and AC Milan is a bit of a strange team in Serie A, especially Carlo Ancelotti's set of 4 10 midfielders, which is the only one in Italy, and there is no other semicolon.
After everyone had laughed, Ye Qiu also stopped and looked at the reporter from the Republican Daily.
"By the way, I also want to ask this reporter friend of the Republican newspaper, oh, don't tell me your name, I don't want to know anything about it!" Ye Qiu's words suddenly made everyone present laugh again, and the Republican Daily reporter was a little embarrassed.
"I want to ask you again, tomorrow your newspaper front page will say, is it justified to lose?"
These words immediately made everyone present, even some Italians, couldn't help laughing, and the reporter of the Republic newspaper almost dug a hole in the ground, and at the end he pointed at Ye Qiu indignantly, "You are the most ungraceful of all the head coaches I have ever seen, your words and deeds are like shit." ”
Ye Qiu also pointed at him with a smile, "You are also the most ungraceful reporter I have ever seen, I am better than you, I asked you face to face, but what about you?" Scolding me with a pen behind my back, who is the villain and who is the gentleman? I salute you in the end, please tell us all that the next time you smoke people with poison in your mouth, it really stinks, it stinks! ”
The audience burst into laughter, and some people even applauded, obviously applauding Ye Qiu's last scolding sentence without swearing.
At least in comparison, the Italian journalist is inferior.
Seeing the Italian reporter turn around and leave the press conference in a huff, Ye Qiu shrugged his shoulders innocently, "He should continue to stay!" There was another burst of laughter.
However, this time it also made many people see that the character of the original Ajax coach is really close to the retribution, and he is also a ruthless stubble at all, so when you want to offend him in the future, you really have to be careful, but don't become the poor and unlucky Republican newspaper reporter when you don't want to become that poor and unlucky Republican reporter.
Ancelotti was a little late, this is a special power after losing, and Ye Qiu was also very polite to wait for him, but after what happened just now, the atmosphere of the entire press conference has changed, and many Italian media and reporters have left the venue in advance, and those who stayed are ready to watch the excitement.
This made Ancelotti a little strange when he walked into the venue, he always felt that the atmosphere of the scene was very strange, and everyone looked at him with a kind of banter, as if watching a striptease in a bar, which made him can't help but be hairy.
What's going on here?
