Volume 1 Chapter 134 League Champions, We're Going to Deter...
As Beckenbauer said in his masterpiece, there is no winning strategy in this world, and the right strategy can only help the manager to grasp the probability of winning.
A football game is always full of accidents and rapid changes, even the most experienced head coach can not guarantee that the game will be carried out exactly according to his own wishes and ideas, so on-the-spot command and adjustment has become the embodiment of a manager's coaching ability, and this requires the head coach to have a sensitive sense of smell for the game.
Like Top? Muller, he didn't realise that Van der Vaart was a tactic for Ajax, and it wasn't until later, after Ajax used it a few times, that Ballack noticed it, and he followed it and then adjusted it.
After the adjustment, Ballack did block Van der Vaart's path, but he relaxed his grip on Yaya? Toure's defense, especially at the moment when the offense and defense switch, he and Yaya? The gap between Toure was noticeably widened, which led to the Ivorian getting the ball and orchestrating the attack.
When Yaya? Toure gave the ball to Robben on the left, Ye Qiu was surprised at the same time, but also had a faint premonition that this time the attack will be very threatening, and it is even possible to score, the key is because Robben has many options.
Once a line of defense is breached, it becomes very passive, because you don't know which point the opponent is going to hit you.
It's like Robben this time, he didn't choose Keita in the back, and he didn't choose Ibrahimovic in the middle to the left, but chose the back point, and he chose the kind of landing point that is very deep, because there is no one to defend in this area.
Van der Vaart sprinted and watched the ball in mid-air, and after past Ibrahimovic and Novotny, he fell quickly, right in front of him, and after he went straight to meet him, he picked up his left foot, and it was a very resolute volley, without waiting for the ball to hit the ground.
The volley was beautiful and decisive, with a lot of power and angle, because Robben's cross wasn't fast, there was no strong spin, and anyone with a better sense of the ball could easily hit the volley.
The ball was close to the ground, almost in a straight line, between the right post and goalkeeper Bout, and hung straight at the bottom of the net!
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!”
After Van der Vaart finished this shot, he excitedly raised his arms and quickly rushed out of the Leverkusen penalty area without a moment's delay, waving to his teammates along the way, to the group of Ajax fans in the stands who were already crazy, and finally rushed directly to the front of the camera.
"Remember, our name is Ajax!!" Van der Vaart pointed to the badge on his chest and shouted loudly.
But soon, the surrounding teammates rushed up one after another, first hugging Van der Vaart, and finally almost drowning him, everyone was frantically celebrating the goal.
"The World Wave! This is definitely a very wonderful world wave! ”
"New Cruyff from Ajax, Raphael? Van der Vaart's wonderful kick of the world's world! ”
'Oh my God, this goal alone is enough to make it worth the price for all the fans, Arjen Robben's cross, Van der Vaart's volley, the combination of this group of young people at Ajax is so wonderful that we have to be amazed!"
The Ajax fans in the stands were also shouting Van der Vaart's name loudly, and the momentum, that momentum, made everyone on the scene deeply infected.
Bayer Leverkusen, the leader of the Bundesliga, is not invincible for Ajax in the Eredivisie, but it is certainly a strong opponent, especially after the 1:2 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen, many people feel that Leverkusen is stronger than Ajax, and think that Ajax will be more auspicious in this game.
But now, we've scored, we're ahead!
The camera swept over the celebrating players and fell on Ye Qiu in front of the home team's coach's box, and saw that he excitedly gave a thumbs up to the group of celebrating players, and did not put it down for a long time, and behind him, Ricklink, Roland and other assistant coaches had already hugged him tightly and celebrated the goal.
This was a goal that Ye Qiu didn't expect, he originally had high hopes for Van der Vaart's in-cut, but he didn't expect Leverkusen and Ballack to block this road soon, but while they blocked Van der Vaart, they relaxed Yaya? Toure, the Ivorians stepped up at this critical juncture.
It can be said that the assists and goals of Robben and Van der Vaart are certainly beautiful, but Yaya? Toure's receiving and sharing of the ball was also crucial, and without this link, Robben and Van der Vaart would not have been able to produce such goals.
Everyone remembers Robben and Van der Vaart, but Ye Qiu, as the head coach of the team, must he remember Yaya? Toure.
"Well done, Yaya!" Ye Qiu walked to the sidelines and walked towards Yaya? Toure also gave a thumbs up, "Be bold, kick like you just did, it's very, very good, but don't let up your grip on Ballack and strangle him!" ”
Is it a young man, Yaya? Toure also likes to be in the limelight, so when he saw that he finally planned a goal, but the limelight was snatched away by Robben and Van der Vaart, he was a little disappointed, but at this time, Ye Qiu's appreciation and encouragement made him smile from ear to ear.
"Don't worry, head, I'll make him disappear!" This kid with a mouth full of white teeth when he laughed, his mood immediately turned cloudy and clear.
Ye Qiu laughed, patted his wet shoulder, and asked him to hurry back.
After taking the lead, Ye Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the coach's seat to sit down again.
"Yaya? Toure is really good! "Bobby on the side? Harms laughed.
Kolo? Toure is currently performing well and badly in the team's backline, relatively average, but the improvement is obvious, known for his brave defense, I heard that he has only been trained in formal football for a long time, and his lack of tactical knowledge is somewhat similar to Abidal back then, and the current Ajax coaching staff are deliberately instilling the team's tactical system in him.
Instead, Yaya? Toure often has eye-catching performances, which has a certain relationship with Ye Qiu's use of him.
Yaya? Toure's positioning at Ajax is more like a central midfielder, and Ye Qiu is more inclined to let him play Keita's position, because the two are positioned a bit similar, if it is to play Sneijder, Yaya? Toure's lack of a pass at the bottom of the pack will result in Ajax having to play more wide.
Ye Qiu used Yaya in this game? Toure replaced Sneijder, the target was to target Ballack, and the organization was handed over to Van der Vaart, but this set of tactics did not work very well, because McCone had a heavy defensive task in this game, and he had to watch Ze Roberto, so Ajax's right side never worked.
Sometimes, tactics are like that, one link is the other.
"It's still very immature!" Ye Qiu said with a smile, only 18 years old, Yaya? Toure still has a lot of room for improvement.
"Before, I thought that with these characteristics of him, especially his defensive ability, he should play the position of defensive midfielder, but now it seems that playing defensive midfield is indeed a bit condescending." Bobby? Harms shook his head and smiled when he said this, and continued: "And it can be seen that this kid is probably not a fuel-efficient lamp!" ”
Sometimes you have to think about the character of a player when you want to transform him.
Yaya? Toure belongs to the kind of character that is more self-oriented, Ye Qiu can suppress him now, that's because this kid is not even a fart, but once he becomes famous in the future, will he continue to be so obedient?
Not necessarily!
In Ye Qiu's tactical positioning, the position of the back midfielder has a certain particularity, because although Keita and Sneijder are both offensive and defensive, they are not the kind of defenders who stand in position, if they do not arrange a player behind them to stand in a position and protect the defensive line, once the ball is lost from their hands, Ajax's defense is likely to be directly exposed.
This is a bit similar to Pep Guardiola in Barcelona in the previous life, why he chose Busquets and gave up Yaya? Toure is because the latter is not enough, and Busquets will not leave the position.
Gilberto? Silva is undoubtedly a good fit, and it is Gilberto who can fill this position in the current Ajax team? Silva, De Jong is still young, and it's okay to play a dozen substitutes, while Maduro is more immature.
You must know that two years ago they were the main force, that was in the second team, and now Ajax is going to play in the Champions League, which is not the same, and Ye Qiu has always felt that the requirements for defensive players should be more stringent, but offensive players can be appropriately relaxed, which is more suitable for promoting youth team players.
…………
…………
When Ajax broke the deadlock near the end of the first half and took the lead, Ye Qiu did not look conservative because of this.
As soon as the second half began, Ye Qiu asked the team to launch a round of attack, directly using Keita and Gilberto? Silva and Yaya? Toure's pressure on Bayer Leverkusen's midfielder crushed Leverkusen in the half.
This is a strategy, because Ajax is ahead, Ye Qiu guessed, Top? Muller will definitely want to counterattack in the second half, so I won't give you a chance to counterattack, I will press you first, play a round of attack first, and after grinding off the sharpness and morale of your counterattack, I will slowly play with you.
Ajax's attack is indeed very impactful, the speed is also very fast, and the attack is their forte, plus after the goal lead, morale is like a rainbow, Leverkusen was a little embarrassed by Ajax at the beginning of the second half, and when they finally stopped the situation, the time has jumped to 65 minutes.
Seeing that Leverkusen's offensive has improved, Ye Qiu immediately made substitution adjustments, De Jong replaced Van der Vaart to strengthen the midfield defense, Heitinga replaced McConn, Ajax began to play the defensive counterattack that he is good at, and let Leverkusen attack.
Top? Muller is of course aware of Ajax's calculations, but when he wants to exert his strength, the fitness of the few players in the team has been almost worn out, especially the technical players like Basturk and Schneider.
In the past, many people liked to ridicule Berbatov, saying that he didn't like to defend and didn't like to run, but Ye Qiu really had to clarify that this kid has always been like this, even now as a newcomer, in Leverkusen, he is still like that.
If you want a player to play football and play chic, and do dirty work, there is really no one in this world!
Of course, the current trend in football, there are really few forwards who actively participate in the frontcourt pressing, Ajax is the best in this regard, even Ibrahimovic, has a lot of defensive tasks, the Swedes have also communicated with Ye Qiu for this, but Ye Qiu finally persuaded him.
Bayer Leverkusen then made substitutions, and substitutions often brought adjustments and run-ins, and time passed quickly.
By the time the pharmaceutical factory finally adjusted, Ajax's defense became tighter and tighter, and finally succeeded in keeping the score of 1:0 to the bottom of the line.
The moment the referee blew the final whistle, the entire Arenal Stadium immediately resounded with an overwhelming cheer, and all the Ajax fans were celebrating, because everyone knew that unless Ajax lost at the Camp Nou and even lost their crotch, the right to qualify from the group was secure.
Bayer Leverkusen will continue to depend on the result of the match between Barcelona and Lyon, if Barcelona can't beat Lyon away, then Bayer Leverkusen's hopes of qualifying will be greatly increased, because they will face Lyon at home in the last round, and it will not be very difficult to win this game.
Because the match between Barcelona and Lyon was so important, Ye Qiu immediately turned around at the moment when the whistle ended, looked at Ricklink, and asked anxiously, "What's the score over there?" ”
“2:2!” Rick Link laughed.
Ye Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, in this way, Barcelona is dead!
The coaching staff of Bayer Leverkusen on the opposite side also seemed to hear the news, and all of them seemed to be in a good mood, Barcelona drew with Lyon, and as long as they beat Lyon in the last round, Barcelona could not qualify.
But just as Ye Qiu turned around and was about to walk to the away team's coach's box, Rick Link suddenly stood up, "Goal!" ”
Ye Qiu stopped and turned around, "What goal?" ”
Rick Link smiled bitterly, "Barcelona scored in the second minute of stoppage time, substitute Gerard scored, 3:2!" ”
"I'll you!" Ye Qiu was depressed, and as a result, Ajax would not be able to qualify in advance.
"It's ironic, it was Gerard who saved Barcelona!" In the end, he could only use this to ridicule Barcelona.
Gerrard came out of the Barcelona academy, but later switched to Valencia, and performed very well, Barcelona bought him back to Camp Nou for a sky-high price of 24 million euros, but this kid can only sit on the bench at Barcelona, and is ridiculed by many as a sky-high substitute, and the player himself is dissatisfied with not being able to play the main team.
Unexpectedly, it was Gerard who saved Barcelona in the end.
"Good luck, Top? Mr. Mueller! ”
When Ye Qiu came to the coach's seat of the away team, he was obviously aware of Leverkusen coach Top? The expression on Muller's face is also not good-looking, because Barcelona won Lyon, the two teams became equal, and Group F became a big scuffle, even if Bayer Leverkusen defeated Lyon in the last round, whether they can qualify depends on the result of the match between Ajax and Barcelona.
"Good luck too!" Top? Mueller replied lightly.
He is not worried about Ajax's release, because the red and white team itself did not qualify in advance, at least in theory, Ajax still has the possibility of being squeezed into the League Cup, so in the last round, everyone has to work hard!
"Don't worry, we're going to decide on this qualifier!" Ye Qiu said confidently.
Top? Mueller looked at Ye Qiu deeply, sighed secretly, turned around and left.
…………
…………
Although there is still one round of the group stage, the situation in many groups is already very clear, especially for the other two teams in the Eredivisie.
Feyenoord have picked up just two points from five games in the group stage, level on points with Spartak Moscow, and if they can't beat Spartak Moscow at home in the last round, it will only be the Russians who will play in the UEFA Cup.
Another team, Eindhoven, drew a good draw in the group, Nantes, Galatasaray and Lazio, originally many people were optimistic about Eindhoven, thinking that the defending champion of the Eredivisie could join hands with Lazio to qualify, but what I didn't expect was that these two teams are indeed neck and neck, but they are aiming for the third place in the group of the League Cup.
This is indeed a surprise to many people, Nantes and Galatasaray performed very well in the group stage, especially Nantes, who bloodied PSV Eindhoven 4:1 in the first round, and defeated Lazio 3:1 away in the second round.
Another minor upset came from Greece's Panathinaikos, a Greek team who have already qualified for the group ahead of Arsenal, Mallorca and Schalke 04.
The Dutch media were generally disappointed by PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord's indisputability, especially for Gretz's PSV Eindhoven, after all, it is indeed a pity that such a good signing failed to qualify.
On the contrary, it was Eindhoven general manager Arneson who stood up to defend the team when the team had no hope of qualifying.
'Leaving the Champions League is not necessarily a bad thing for us because it allows us to focus more on the Eredivisie and our goal this season is to successfully defend our title, and I and the manager have a strong belief in that.
"Ajax have been really good this season, but they are nowhere near the point where they can win the title early, and we believe that if they continue to play on two fronts, they will have to make mistakes sooner or later, and we will be able to reverse our opponents and successfully complete the Eredivisie treble!"
Ye Qiu did not agree with the statement from Arneson, at the Arena Stadium, Ye Qiu's team swept Adrianse's Willem II 4:1, and Ye Qiu said after the game that the team will continue to strive to win every game.
"It's not our style to give up any game, because we never give up, we will continue to play in the Champions League with PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord, but we will also remain competitive in the Eredivisie because we have to decide on this league title!"
