Volume 1 Chapter 7 The Deadliest Flaw

Roland? Shepas wanted to cry, he really wanted to cry!

As soon as it was dawn, Ye Qiu's phone pulled him out of his wife's warm quilt and called him to Detokmost.

As soon as he walked into their small and messy office, he saw Ye Qiu lying on the desk drawing something without knowing when the road had arrived, and when he leaned over to take a look, he saw that Ye Qiu was drawing a tactical map.

This is the first time that Roland has seen Ye Qiu drawing a tactical map, and his previous dissatisfaction was swept away, replaced by curiosity, and he looked over intently, and saw at a glance that this tactical map was very different from the traditional 433 of Ajax.

Ajax's 433 is strictly divided into three parts, needless to say 4 defenders, the midfielders are all traditional Dutch midfielders, that is, strong tactical execution, active running, diligent defense, large coverage area, excellent offensive ability to insert back, reasonable ball awareness, can be described as both offensive and defensive, the most typical is Rijkaard, Davies and others.

As for the forward line, when Ajax attacked, in order to suppress the opponent's two full-backs, the wingers were almost close to the opponent's defense, and then used the active running coverage of the three midfield players to complete the connection.

Therefore, Ajax's 433 is still a defender, a midfielder, a striker, three lines.

But the tactics that Ye Qiu drew at this time were four lines.

"Back to the staves?" Roland immediately saw the clue.

He was born in the Ajax academy and has a solid tactical foundation, and he has been in Ajax for so many years after retiring, and he has a coaching certificate himself, not to mention professional knowledge, otherwise how could he be arranged to be a team leader in the B age group?

Roland's four-line score is a term for the division of tactical areas, which was all the rage in the 50s, when 3223, that is, the ancient gods WM in the mouths of countless fans, was a four-line score, and he divided a team into four areas from front to back, according to the division of labor.

"Yes!" After Ye Qiu heard his words, he nodded with a smile, "Back to the four-line staff!" ”

This is a decision he finally made after staying up late last night to read Beckenbauer's book, plus collecting some relevant professional tactical knowledge, and combining some tactical knowledge he heard in his previous life.

In 2013, when he crossed, 4231 was popular, and it can almost be said that there was a burst of manpower, and 4231 is a four-line staff, and even Ferguson, Wenger, Benitez, Mourinho and many other managers are using four-line staff, and Mourinho has also used 433 tactics with 4213 as the core in Chelsea.

That is to say, the three-line staff is eliminated, and the four-line staff regression is the trend!

The so-called four-line spectrum has little impact on the arrangement of defenders, but the impact on the midfield, especially the midfield, is revolutionary, because he further divides the midfield line into two types, either offensive or defensive.

Or it can be said that returning to the four-line spectrum is equivalent to a further refinement of the role positioning and division of labor of players on the field.

"Michels often says that in the eyes of the manager, a team is like a machine made up of 11 parts, so now, I think it's important to make some adjustments to the division of those parts!" Ye Qiu analyzed with a smile.

"Maduro and De Jong are the kind of players who have super tactical ability, but they don't contribute a lot to the attacking end, but Sneijder, I think he should further unleash his potential in the attacking end, let him take on more responsibility for playmaking and attacking back, so I plan to adjust in the midfield position!"

In the tactical map drawn by Ye Qiuxin, Maduro and De Jong are both in the back position, Sneijder rushes forward, obviously to let the latter two take on more defensive interceptions and protect the defensive line, and Sneijder is responsible for organizing the attack with peace of mind.

Today's football tactical environment is still the era of traditional strikers, Zidane, Rui? Costa, Miku and others are popular, no matter which team they are, they rely heavily on the number 10 player in their offensive advancement, which also leads to the team's offensive advancement slow, because they arrange the organization at the front of the opponent's penalty area.

That is to say, most tactics first consider passing the ball to the edge of the penalty area, handing it to the No. 10 player, and then the latter organizes the pass and creates a threat, and the front of the penalty area of any team is often a dense defensive area, so the No. 10 player's skills are usually very delicate and exquisite, and this type of player often represents the slow pace and tempo.

If the speed and rhythm are fast, who can still be delicate?

But in 2013, where Ye Qiu was located, the fast pace had become a trend in European football, so a large number of traditional No.10 players such as Zidane and Riquelme were eliminated and replaced by modern strikers like Kaka, and then the focus of the organization was withdrawn and shifted to the midfield position.

This is what Beckenbauer said, when the vast majority of teams now move the ball to the front of the penalty area, hand it over to the No. 10 ball organization, gather heavy troops in the front court, and the back court is the space!

Therefore, Ye Qiu is now almost 100% sure that the retreat of the organization's center of gravity is inevitable, so Pirlo, Harvey? Alonso, Carrick and other playmakers will follow the trend.

"Pulling back Maduro and De Jong will not only show their defensive ability and protect the safety of the team's edge of the box, but also further reduce the opponent's space in front of the box and limit their number 10, even B1 striker Van der Vaart!"

B1's Van der Vaart plays a bit like a number nine and a half, he is more flexible, but more often he drops back and then enters the box, so Maduro and De Jong's positions can be somewhat restrictive for him.

Roland listened to his words, and then looked at his analysis chart, and couldn't help nodding, sacrificing two midfielders can indeed limit Van der Vaart's play, which is difficult to say whether it is worth it or not, because Van der Vaart is the soul of the B1 team, and if you want to beat the B1 team, you must limit him.

"But then, you have one less person in the midfield, what about the attack?" Roland saw the clue again.

Ye Qiu smiled and nodded, he had long known that this guy could be the leader of the B age group, and he had been immersed in professional football in Ajax for so many years, he must have good tactical literacy, and now he can see at a glance that this is a defensive arrangement, not bad!

"I stayed up late last night watching the footage of the Feyenoord vs Ajax fight, guess what I found?"

Roland listened, and then looked at Ye Qiu, and sure enough, he saw that his eyes were bloodshot, and his tone was a little big, it seemed that he really hadn't slept all night, which made him feel a little different about Ye Qiu, at least this guy was willing to put in so much effort in order to win a game.

"Don't sell it, what did you find?"

"The deadliest flaw in Ajax's 433 formation!" Ye Qiu said almost word for word.

Roland was completely frightened by his words!

…………

Football is a very complex and systematic sport, even in 2013, the world's science and technology are so developed, there is no way to carry out a systematic scientific sorting out of all aspects involved in football, and then come up with a law and method that can ensure winning.

Because it involves people, teamwork, tactics, and even the diet and daily life of players before the game, and no one can find a winning pattern from such a huge amount of data.

Therefore, in the field of football, although there is the assistance of high technology, the most important thing is the most traditional, experience!

Some people are born with it, but some people can't learn it in their lifetime, it's hard to say.

It's like Waters' Ajax, in the first three rounds, they can defeat their opponents invincible, and even win one big win after another, but suddenly, they lost 0:2 to Feyenoord at the Arena Stadium, and it was a double defeat in terms of scene and score.

A week later, Waters' side travelled to Waalwijk, who had been relegated to the relegation play-offs last season if they hadn't beaten Sparta Rotterdam at the end of the season.

But in the face of such a team, the traditional powerhouse Ajax drew 1:1 with the opponent away.

Ye Qiu watched the game video collected by the club for the first time, this kind of video is a little different from the live TV video, because the perspective is not exactly chasing the ball, and a wider perspective is taken, which can ensure that more game content and information are collected in the video, which is convenient for analyzing the game.

Ajax did well in the first half, but in the second half, the fatal mistake was repeated.

"In the past, the Ajax people were strong and strong, and there were loopholes in the tactical formation, but they could rely on the players' own strength and the overall strength of the team to press the opponent, and the problem was covered up, but now, a large number of stars in the playing year have left the team, and the team has exposed more problems!"

After watching the video of the game, Ye Qiu confidently analyzed to Roland, "If this problem is not solved, as long as it is caught by the opponent, it will be difficult for Ajax to defeat the opponent!" ”

After watching the video of the game and listening to Ye Qiu's analysis, Roland was already convinced of his words.

Of course, it does not mean that the opponent will be able to catch the problems exposed by Ajax, it also depends on whether the opposing manager sees the key problems, and whether the opponent's players are strong enough to seize these loopholes to create articles.

At least in the sixth round, Vitesse, who were playing away, did not catch it, and as a result, they lost 1-3 at the Arena Stadium, and Waters' side finally got out of the two-game winless predicament and got a victory.

A week later, when Ajax met Adrianse's Willem II away, Adrianse, who was distracted by the European arena, was busy fighting on two fronts and was not in good shape, although he also seized the holehole of Ajax, but at the same time exposed his own problems, and was beaten 6:3 by Ajax at home.

The whole of Amsterdam is completely crazy!

If Ajax in mid-September was a street rat and everyone shouted and beaten, then at the end of September and early October, Ajax won two consecutive victories, especially this 6:3 victory over Willem II, which directly pushed Ajax to a new round of peaks.

In the summer selection, Ajax's original preferred manager was now Willem II's manager. Adrianse, but Adrianse, who led the team to European competitions last season, declined Ajax's invitation in order to prove himself in the European arena, which eventually led to the rise of Waters who was the 18-year-old head coach of Ajax's youth team at the time.

Now, everyone feels that Waters has proved himself with such a victory.

Winners, princes, losers, football, has always been so realistic!

As a bystander, Ye Qiu's team has drawn two games in the past three weeks, and the most recent one has been a tepid performance, making people unable to see anything special, only Ye Qiu himself knows that he is grinding in the team's new tactics and new style, so even if it is a three-game winning streak in Westerhoff's team, he doesn't care too much.

In addition to coaching the B2 team, Ye Qiu is also analyzing the Eredivisie.

For this game, what he saw was Adrianse's side split between two lines, which led to poor player form.

This can't help but remind him of the previous Premier League Everton manager David Moyes, at that time many people were very curious about what happened to Moyes, his team was always amazing year by year, and then a reporter asked him, he said the key, it turned out to be a European competition.

For small and medium-sized teams, it is not necessarily a good thing to divide the troops into two ways to fight, there is not enough bench thickness and talent reserves, double-line or even multi-line operations, that is definitely self-defeating, so Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan and other giant teams in order to fight on multiple fronts, the most terrifying players in the first team were even as high as 30 at one time.

But this is not possible for small and medium-sized teams, and the salary burden alone is a heavy financial pressure.

However, Waters clearly did not see this, and in a high-profile interview with reporters after the game, he believes that he has found the key to leading Ajax to victory, and Ajax has ushered in the best form this season and will launch a comprehensive attack on the league title.

"I'm going to celebrate the club's centenary with a league title!"

The first team won and the whole club breathed a sigh of relief, at least De Tokmost's already tense mood was eased, and everyone was talking about the first team.

It wasn't until mid-October that Ajax beat Fortuna Sittard 4-1 at home to De Tokmost. Ben Hack had only brought up the gamble he had made more than a month earlier, and everyone suddenly remembered it.

In the last six games, Westerhoff's B1 team have won 5 wins and 1 defeat in their Under-16 First Division, winning all but the rest of their games against Feyenoord B1, and one of them a 5-1 victory.

On the other hand, Ye Qiu's team, 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, this report card may be good if it is for those teams in the middle and lower reaches with poor youth training, but the problem is that he is now coaching the Ajax youth team, one of the top teams in the Netherlands, which is a bit too much.

"In the end, he is a young man, he likes empty theories, and he talks about the Tao, but when it comes to practice, he will immediately reveal his true form!"

Westerhoff sat diagonally opposite Ye Qiu, his expression and tone were full of disdain and cynicism, because he didn't like Ye Qiu at all from the beginning, and since Ye Qiu challenged him face-to-face, he directly escalated from dislike to disgust.

"You're right, Mr. Vesterhoff, it's useless to talk about it, only practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, so what you're saying now is!" Ye Qiu smiled back, "If you want to laugh at me, or if you fall into the trap for me, I'm sorry, please wait until you really beat me on the court!" ”

A trace of anger flashed in Vesthoff's eyes, if it weren't for the fact that there was a meeting going on now, and everyone was watching, he would definitely jump out directly and tear Ye Qiu to pieces.

"You will surely pay a terrible price for your hubris!" Westerhoff gritted his teeth and put down the harsh words.

Everyone knows that if Westerhoff is put in power in Ajax one day, Ye Qiu will definitely be the first target of his purge, just because this guy has challenged Westerhoff's prestige three times and twice.

"That's what I want to say to you!" Ye Qiu did not back down and pushed back the words again.

Leo? Ben Hack glanced at Westerhoff, who looked at the old and serious handsome, and simply endured this breath, but the eyes that looked at Ye Qiu became even more vicious, obviously throwing all his anger on Ye Qiu.

After holding down Westerhoff, Leo? Ben Hack looked at Ye Qiu with interest, and he began to wonder a little about this young Chinese, because he couldn't guess what Ye Qiu was going to do?

If more than a month ago, everyone was still curious about Ye Qiu, then now more than a month later, he has a few pounds and a few taels, and everyone has estimated it in their hearts, and the results of the Ajax B2 team led by him are not outstanding, and they can even be said to be below average.

Recently, some players in the B2 team have also begun to question Ye Qiu, for example, he is fickle in tactics and often does the same thing every day, and also says that he attaches importance to defense, violates Ajax's offensive tradition, etc., but because of the discipline of the club, no one dares to resist in person, but it all falls on Leao? In Ben Hack's eyes, he wondered, what reason did this young man have to dare to challenge Westerhoff in person?

But no matter what, Ye Qiu already has deep traces of Waters, which is not good for Leo? As far as Ben Hack is concerned, Ye Qiu must not be kept, and killing Ye Qiu can also indirectly weaken Waters' prestige.

Keleo? Ben Harker thought so, but Waters was unmoved.

The Dutchman, who has led the team for less than half a year but looks almost ten years old, is now worried about the poor record of the first team and how to get the transfer rights before going further from Leao? Ben Hack and others have been given more power in their hands, making him the most powerful man in Ajax's sporting scene.

As for Ye Qiu's life and death, he never cared about it!
