"What bad luck!"

Under a black umbrella, Ye Qiu drilled his head out and looked at the dreary sky overhead, it was raining.

It's not big, but it's enough to toss people!

"In the first game, I encountered this kind of weather, I'll give it a go!" Ye Qiu didn't expect his second team debut to be like this.

Rick Link is used to it, "Winter in the Netherlands is rainy, just get used to it, if you go to England, you will definitely be more depressed than here, the weather there will definitely drive you crazy!" ”

Ye Qiu smiled, he had learned about the weather in England in many reports in his previous life, across the English Channel, but he didn't expect that the winter in the Netherlands would be so rainy, and it was really depressing to think about it.

Swept the stands behind him again, and there were more than a dozen umbrellas, one of which was still Huang Chu.

"Our second team was born by my mother, and the fans don't want to see it!" Ye Qiu was depressed, he thought that Ajax attached great importance to youth training, and there should be many people watching the game of the second team, but now he found out that it was still three or two kittens, which was depressed enough.

"If the weather is good, it is estimated that there will be more than 100 of them, but who wants to come to see this kind of weather? I guess those are also the parents or friends of the players! Rick Link is still used to this.

If you don't have a good attitude, you really can't do it for a long time.

In this game, Ajax II met NEC Nijmegen II, which is also a century-old team in the Netherlands, but the youth training is relatively average, so it ranks relatively middle and lower in the Youth League.

Ye Qiu still discharged Ajax's traditional 433 formation in this game, but in the specific division of labor, changes and adjustments were made.

The goalkeeper did not change, but Abidal and Heitinga were both arranged by him in the backline, of which Heitinga played as a central defender, and Abidal was arranged by him as a left-back, which is also a signal of Ye Qiu's changes and adjustments to the backline.

The right-back of this match was a Dutch teenager named Van der Roek, who was not tall, but he was fast and agile.

The midfield is still in a triangular position, De Jong and Maduro are behind, Sneijder is up front, and on the right is a black player named Kurul, who has performed well in the second team before, and I am said to have switched from Ajax's club in Cape Town, Van der Vaart is still in the left winger position that he is familiar with.

Up front is Huntelaar.

It can be said that Ye Qiu's starting lineup fully selected his own team and lineup, but on a certain basis, some players from the original second team were added, after all, the elites of the original second team have been transferred to the first team, and some have been loaned, for example, Van der Meyde was loaned to Twente, so he simply chose young players directly.

In this set of 433 formations, Ye Qiu adjusted the task, Van der Vaart's position was no longer pressing the opponent's defense, but retracting, taking more back inserts to attack and cut inside to the middle, while Kurul and Van der Rou formed an offensive cooperation on the right side, in which Van der Lu's position was relatively forward, taking on more inserts and assists.

When the right-back is inserted into the attack, Abidal has to shrink his position to the middle, changing the defensive line into a back three system, plus De Jong and Maduro in front, it is enough to ensure the solidity of the Ajax defence.

This is true in theory, but in practice it may not be possible to achieve such an effect, because in this it is necessary to take into account the degree of tacit understanding of the players, the overall degree of cooperation, as well as the awareness and ability of the players in running, assisting defense, and filling positions.

A lot of times, it still takes more time to practice.

But as always, Ye Qiu's requirements for the team are still to push the ball forward as quickly as possible, to achieve one touch of the ball as much as possible, and all players should run actively.

To this end, in the pre-match tactical meeting, he specially instilled a new game concept in the players.

"From the first second of the game, everyone has to concentrate all their energy on the game, every move, every pass, you have to serve the game, you have to have a clear purpose, and I can point out four points to you!"

"One, possession, two, space, three, teammates, four, opponents!"

"I hope you can all remember in the game and always ask yourself, why do I have to pass this ball? Why am I running here? Why am I doing this? ”

"I believe that when you can do it, and every action in the game is purposeful to meet these four requirements, then you will become a very successful top professional footballer!"

That's some of the takeaways he's taken away from Sachi's book recently, and while he's emphasizing the game, he'll be emphasizing it in training as well, trying to make sure that the players are as close to the actual situation as possible in every training session, so that they can use it as well as they can use it in the game.

And he finally began to understand that if his 11 players were doing their every move on the pitch with a purpose that met these four requirements, then he had absolutely reason to believe that this would become a strong team, an invincible strong team.

This is also the first time he has really touched the door of training a strong team.

…………

…………

The right side is the source of Ye Qiu's attack, but Ajax played on the left side at the beginning.

Van der Vaart's technical and individual qualities were truly outstanding, and as a left-footer, he received a pass from the back at the start of the game and got rid of a defender on the left and slotted the ball into the box.

Unfortunately, before Huntelaar could get to the point, the ball was cleared by Nijmegen's centre-back.

However, this attack also sounded the horn and confidence of Ajax's attack, after all, the second team has to overwhelm the opponent in terms of strength, and it is fighting at its own home stadium, where will it be polite to the other side?

It was raining, the grass and the ball were slippery, and the Ajax players insisted on touching the ball, which led to a lot of mistakes.

The first 20 minutes of the game looked more like a show of mistakes between the two teams.

It was only in the 23rd minute that Ajax broke the deadlock on the pitch in the bumble and collision.

Van der Vaart won the ball on the left flank, attracted pressure from defenders, and saw that he couldn't break through, and passed to Sneijder, who won the ball and slid it into the opposition box before the opponent could wrap it up.

After Sneijder's pass, Huntelaar was already ready to play, saw the momentum of the ball, used his body to block the defender behind him, gently swung his right leg, and swept the instep of his right foot to meet the incoming ball.

The ball touched the back of Huntelaar's right inside foot, turned a little direction, almost against the right post, and drilled into the opponent's goal, it was simple, clean, but the ball went in!

When Huntelaar shot, his body was squeezed by the opposition defender, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground, covered in water, but as soon as he saw the ball fall into the opponent's goal line, he immediately grinned, and it was his first goal for Ajax.

"Well done, big man!" Van der Vaart walked over and pulled Huntelaar up.

It doesn't matter who scores, to score, to win, it's a good thing.

"You kid has to learn to beat us like before, and score five or six goals against him in one go!" Sneijder also walked over to congratulate Huntelaar on his goal, apparently remembering the game he had played against Graafschap in the B2 team.

Huntelaar smiled a little awkwardly, he just wanted to play hard, perform hard, and prove his strength in front of the Ajax coach and scouts, so that his favorite team could notice him, not to mention, it didn't take long for Ye Qiu to come to the door.

Thinking of this, Huntelaar couldn't help but look at the sidelines, and found that Ye Qiu didn't know when Lu Dao walked to the sidelines, and regardless of the rain, he gave him a thumbs up, "Well done, good entry!" ”

This made Huntelaar feel a pang of satisfaction for no reason.

In his opinion, it represents the manager's recognition of his efforts and goals.

But Ye Qiu just stayed outside for a while, and returned to the coach's seat after the game restarted.

"This kid's basic skills are solid enough, he stops the ball very steadily, and his judgment of the ball path is also very accurate, and he is a natural killer!" Rick Link is known as Hawkeye, and he has a good impression of the two players that Ye Qiu has introduced, especially Huntelaar.

As a striker, although the shooting sense, talent, and speed are important, stopping the ball is also very important, because you can't even stop the ball, how do you make the next move?

Yes, there are also some top strikers who are not good at stopping the ball, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to notice that those strikers who are not good at stopping the ball have great fluctuations in goal efficiency, a bit similar to a nerve knife, but those strikers who stop the ball well are often more efficient and more stable.

There is no way to say which one is good and which one is not, the existence is reasonable, the key is to see the trade-off!

"The body is still relatively thin, and the confrontation is not enough!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

"I'm only 16 years old, so there's still a lot of time!" Roland doesn't think this should be a problem.

The current group of second-team players is indeed young, only 15 or 16 years old, and it will take at least three years for them to play the role of pillars in the first team.

…………

…………

Sometimes, a football game is hard to get started.

With the first goal, the situation opened up, and Ajax, who had the initiative, began to become more confident and play more smoothly, and naturally dominated the situation on the pitch.

In the 41st minute, Kurul on the right side cooperated with Van der Ruer, using speed to break through the opponent's defense and then cross the bottom, Huntelaar picked up the pass in front of the point, Van der Vaart was like a slippery loach in the crowd, drilled into the opponent's goal, met Huntelaar's pass, and lightly padded his left foot.

The ball was cushioned into the opposition goal by Van der Vaart, and the Nijmegen II goalkeeper didn't even have time to react.

2：0！

Ajax, who had scored consecutive goals, looked very happy and looked extremely excited.

But unfortunately, there were no fans in the stands at the home stadium of the second team, and the only thing that could respond to their goal was the sound of the rain getting louder and louder.

But at this time, Ye Qiu walked out of the coach's seat again, walked to the sidelines, and applauded vigorously, he himself is still very young, and he knows how many young people think about it, and he knows that young people like to be affirmed and encouraged, so sometimes in the face of these young people, they have to give both grace and power, and blindly adopt a policy of coercion, which may not be able to achieve good results in the end.

With a score of 2:0, back in the locker room, the players changed into a set of uniforms provided by Adidas.

"You all did a great job in the first half!" Ye Qiu waited until everyone was ready before he began to summarize and arrange.

'But I have to say a couple of things, the first is that our midfielders don't put enough pressure on the opposition at the edge of the box, De Jong and Maduro should be more aggressive, more proactive to press, but remember, move cleanly!'

For De Jong, of course Ye Qiu will not forget the things he did in his previous life, but he is now the coach of Ajax, and De Jong is a player who is very optimistic about Ajax, so he naturally can't give De Jong a ban order because of some things in his previous life, so he wants to re-instill some defensive ideas into him.

"Also, we don't get the ball fast enough, I said, we have to pull up the tempo, they're used to playing at a slow pace, we play fast and we play slow, that's our advantage!"

"Anyway, I'm very happy with your performance in the first half, but I'm sure you can do better!"

Ye Qiu's request and emphasis made Ajax's midfield pressure in the second half tougher, and the coverage area of the double back was larger, giving a strong pressure to the midfielder of Nijmegen II, and once the ball was successfully broken, the ball was transferred to the side as soon as possible, and the side came to attack.

It was a tactical strategy that helped Ajax quickly establish the advantage in the second half.

Huntelaar scored another goal for Ajax II in the 52nd minute of the second half to make it 3-0.

Then in the 58th minute of the game, Sneijder took advantage of another cross from Van der Vaart and shot angrily from the edge of the penalty area to extend the score to 4:0 for Ajax again.

But just when Ajax's morale was booming, Abidal was shown the second yellow card of the game by the referee because of a small action, which turned into a red card and was sent off the field, and Nijmegen also got a penalty opportunity, which was hit by the opponent's striker, 4:1!

The advantage that the Ajax second team that fought with one less person was quickly leveled by the opponent, especially when there was one less person, although it was able to barely maintain the situation, but it was not easy to play again.

In the end, the game ended with Ajax winning 4:1.

Regarding Abidal's foul, Ye Qiu felt that it was unnecessary, but he could also understand it, after all, Abidal had played in the amateur league before, and it was undoubtedly impossible for anyone to ask this kind of player from a wild ball to have a good professionalism and tactical quality in just one week.

Therefore, in the locker room after the game, he only reminded and admonished Abidal of the unnecessary foul, but did not punish him at all, but continued to give patience and help.

…………

…………

When Ye Qiu led the team back to the locker room on the ground floor of the stands, in front of the window of the head coach's office on the second floor of the first team training building separated by a barbed wire, Waters also watched the whole process of this game.

4：1！

He was not surprised by the scoreline, as the quality of Ajax's academy is absolutely unquestionable.

It is important to know that the Ajax youth team led by Louis van Gaal had enough strength to compete with the professional teams in the Dutch league, so it was not surprising to beat Nijmegen II.

He thinks more.

For example, Huntelaar, who scored the goal, and Abidal, who was sent off with a red card, neither of whom belonged to the Ajax academy but joined De Tokmoste a week ago, has no idea of which Waters knows.

What does this mean?

This means that Ye Qiu has completely ignored him!

Recently, there was a rumor that Detokmoster was squeezing out Ye Qiu, so he prevented Ye Qiu from being an assistant coach in the first team.

He did not deny this, he did not advocate getting rid of Westerhoff at the beginning, he just wanted Westerhoff to balance Ye Qiu in Detokmost, and he also had the idea of wooing Westerhoff to some extent, after all, the latter was a famous Dutch coach, but he didn't expect that the development of things was somewhat unexpected for him.

Now Westerhoff is on the first team as an assistant coach, and he is also in charge of De Tokmost, but the second team has become Ye Qiu's territory, and damn Leao? Ben Hack's attitude was very ambiguous, and no one knew what he was happing.

You have to know that Ye Qiu introduced these two players, to say that there is no Leao? Ben Hack agrees, who believes?

Could it be that Ye Qiu also threw himself into Leo? Ben Hack?

If that's the case, then who else in the whole of Ajax can he trust?

Sometimes, people make the mistake of being self-centered, just like the current Waters, he naturally won't see it, if he doesn't trust others first, how can he make others believe him with their hearts?

And he likes to drill the tip of the horns, and after thinking about it the most, the result is that he lacks prestige and sufficient power!

If one day, I am the one who controls the power of the club, who will dare to ignore me?

As soon as he thinks about this, Waters is full of hope for tomorrow's game**, and he has just completed a big win in the last round, and now he can be described as full of ambition.

In the second day's away game against Sparta Rotterdam, Waters' team took the initiative to press the attack from the beginning, showing a posture of not giving up without winning the game, but it was Sparta Rotterdam who was playing at home to rush into the camp, avoid their edge, and adopt a posture of steady counterattack.

A sneak attack in the first half dealt a crushing blow to Ajax, and Vouters' side had to settle for being 1-0 down for half an hour.

It wasn't until the 86th minute that winger Glen Schal forced a breakthrough to create a chance. Laudrup equalised with a goal, but was unable to find another goal in the end.

In this way, Ajax drew 1-1 away at Sparta Rotterdam.

After this round, the gap between Ajax and PSV Eindhoven, who have won 11 in a row, has widened to five points.
