"De Jong made a successful break and handed it to Sneijder."

'Sneijder faced Coku and passed back to Arteta.

"The Spaniard stopped the ball and suddenly made a long pass."

"Ibrahimovic, Ibrahimovic, leaning on De Boer'......"

"Beautiful, the Swede is very beautiful with a very beautiful kick and at the same time very imaginative with the ball."

"Goalkeeper Bonano strikes ......"

"Oops, wrong shot, Ibrahimovic shot!"

"The ball is in!!!!!"

"In the 31st minute, when Ajax was 15 minutes behind, with a long pass from the new signing Arteta, Ibrahimovic had a very imaginative and at the same time very beautiful pick-up to shake off Barcelona's central defender De Boer and form a single knife."

"Dutch goalkeeper Bonano misjudged, he wanted to attack, but halfway through the attack, he found that he couldn't catch up with Ibrahimovic's pace, and suddenly retreated, and the Swede did not miss such a god-given opportunity, directly shot with his feet, the ball went into the net, 1:1!"

'It was a very beautiful goal, Arteta's long pass was very comfortable, Ibrahimovic used his height and strength to suppress the Dutch defender in the one-on-one duel with De Boer, and the imaginative and delicate lob was impressive."

The entire Arena was filled with cheers from the moment Ibrahimovic scored, but it didn't subside for a long time, and all the Ajax fans were congratulating Ibrahimovic's goal.

The Swede also seemed very excited, after two seasons of training and improvement, he felt that his quality has improved by leaps and bounds, and now he feels comfortable even against top players like De Boer, and behind him, there is a group of excellent teammates who continue to deliver shells for him, which makes him more confident.

Just three minutes later, Robben raced his high speed on the left flank and suddenly stopped and changed direction, making the right centre-back Puyol unable to regain his momentum and slipping on the grass, while watching Robben pass diagonally to Ibrahimovic in the middle.

The Swede looked confident and with 30 metres to go, he suddenly fired a thunderous shot from the back of the net.

Bonano flew to make a save, but in the end there was no way to stop the ball from going into the net, 2:1!

With two spectacular shots in quick succession, Zlatan Ibrahimovic showed his hot form as Ajax began to make the most of their wide advantage and press down Barcelona.

Van Gaal's attitude is actually to use the attack to suppress the opponent, but Ye Qiu is now clear that I will let you attack, but I will play on the side when counterattacking, you can not defend, but the personal strength of my wing players can definitely destroy your entire defense.

In the 42nd minute, it was Robben's pass on the left side again, Ibrahimovic and De Boer competed, the ball fell to the back point, Van der Vaart followed up and hit a curling ball with his right foot, straight to the left side of the goal, 3:1!

Offense and defense in football are like the two ends of the scale, if you want to strengthen the defense, you have to sacrifice the attack, and if you want to strengthen the attack, you have to sacrifice the defense, and all managers want to be able to strike a balance between attack and defense at the same time, and give full play to the team's offensive and defensive strength.

All great teams have a balance between offense and defense, and they all play their most powerful offensive power and the most unbreakable defense.

Van Gaal's tactics may seem unexpected, but in reality it is difficult to hide the idealism behind them.

Because judging from the strength of Barcelona's current team, if you can use the attack to firmly suppress the opponent, Van Gaal's tactics can indeed play a very beautiful attack and score a lot of goals, but the question is, who dares to guarantee that he can suppress the opponent for 90 minutes every game?

Once Barcelona are unable to suppress their opponents with attack, then the ensuing defensive problems are very obvious.

The three defenders lack height, and there is a natural flaw in the protection of the wing in the back three defensive system, even if Van Gaal uses two midfielders to fill this flaw, but the effect is always poor, which is the main reason why more and more people feel that the back three is gradually withdrawing from European football.

Real Madrid, who won the Champions League in 2000, actually played a back three, but it should be noted that Robert? Carlos and Salgado are actually on par with Redondo at the back, so in everyone's eyes, it's more of a back five than a back three.

The same style of play also has Capello's three-back system in Roma, which also relies on Cafu and Candela in the attacking full-back position, which can attack and defend.

But now Van Gaal directly put Seydoux? Keita and Mendieta were placed in the wing-back position, and Riquelme and Saviola were pulled up wide to pick up, which in itself was more like fighting in attack than focusing on defence at all.

After the game, Saviola openly said in an interview with the media that he didn't understand Van Gaal's tactics, "He asked me very strangely, when the opponent was in possession of the ball, he asked me to retreat and participate in the ball, which made me always stay away from the opponent's penalty area and look more like a midfielder." ”

The team's main midfielder Cocu also said after the game that the main reason why Ajax was able to score four goals and win 4:1 was that the team did not do enough on the wing.

'They were quicker at moving the ball, we all tried hard but we couldn't keep up with their rhythm and pace, and Sneijder and Mikel Arteta were both very good at moving the ball, which allowed them to get the most out of the two flanks when they were attacking quickly, so we didn't have time to defend.

No matter how fast a person runs, he must not be faster than the ball, and there are large gaps in the side itself, so it is naturally even more impossible to catch up.

However, Van Gaal said after the game that the team's tactics are still in the process of being brewed and adjusted, and the lessons learned from the heavy defeat at the Arena Stadium have helped him, but it will not change his belief in continuing to adjust and innovate the team's entire tactical system.

And in this game, Ajax's midfielder Mikel from Barcelona? Arteta has performed very well, almost every attack of Ajax has his presence and scheduling, if it is in normal times, maybe he will be underestimated, but this game is also the first time he has faced his old club Barcelona since joining Ajax, so it is naturally in the spotlight.

When many Catalan media outlets rate it, the highest score in the Barcelona team is Seydoux? Keita, but his assessment was that he worked hard and diligently, orchestrated the only goal, contributed clearly defensively, returned to the box on a number of occasions to participate in the defense, and Van der Vaart was also blocked by him not too well.

Arteta's rating is higher than Riquelme's, and many Catalan media have wondered, why did this excellent Spanish midfielder be easily given to Ajax by Barcelona as an add-on?

Ye Qiu is also very satisfied with Arteta's performance, believing that the Spaniard is quickly integrating into the team, and he firmly believes that Ajax's midfield will get better and better.

"Mikel is the kind of player who is hard to really understand but once you lose him, you understand his value, and his arrival is an important part of my balance in midfield and control, and his partnership with Sneijder will make us play even more beautiful football!"

In the face of praise from manager Ye Qiu, Arteta modestly said that he has fallen in love with the city and the team.

'I was a little resistant when I first came because I wanted to play for Barcelona more in my heart, but now I'm happy and I'm starting to like Ajax because here I have a group of outstanding team-mates who are all very good and I don't even have any doubt that we will surprise the whole of Europe.

…………

…………

If Ajax surprised the whole world by beating Louis van Gaal's Barcelona 4:1 in the first game, then in the second Amsterdam Cup match against Manchester United, Ajax defeated the Premier League team 3:1 again, which makes people have to admire Ajax's attacking power.

Despite dominating the home side, despite Rio Ferdinand's new arrival at Manchester United, his lack of chemistry with his team-mates at the back, and the fact that United could come up with many, many reasons to explain their defeat, Ferguson gave Ajax a very high rating after the game.

'I think Rio Ferdinand played normally, he had a national team with his team-mates, he didn't need to adapt, and he did a good job in this game, and against an Ajax team that has always been known for their attacking skills, I think he did really well and showed his quality.

'The main reason for the defeat in this game was that our midfield was not flexible, relatively speaking, Ajax's midfield did a good job, Arteta and Sneijder were very comfortable passing the ball back and forth, while Veron and Keane were not good enough in this regard.

"Many people think that Ajax, who has lost two core midfielders this season, will lose a lot of strength, but I look at this game, I don't think this problem exists, Ye Qiu is very good to fill Gilberto? Silva and Seydoux? The defect after Keita's departure, this is a very good team! ”

Ferguson's words hinted at something else, namely compatibility issues between Keane and Peron.

It can be said that anyone with a discerning eye knows that since Veron joined Manchester United, he has had a serious problem with the ball between the midfielder and Keane, but no one has the courage to take Keane or weaken Keane's authority in the team.

At this point, even Ferguson, who hopes that the team's overall tactics will gradually move closer to the continental style, does not have the courage, because to some extent, Keane is the anchor of Manchester United's midfield.

Therefore, Ferguson has always hoped to adjust the team's tactical style by changing Veron and allowing the Argentine to accommodate Keane, and he won Scholes in this game, allowing Veron and Keane to partner in central midfield, but the effect is still bad.

Speaking of which, it's still two words, trade-off!

Beating Barcelona 4-1 and Manchester United 3-1, Ajax performed very well in the Amsterdam Cup, winning two consecutive victories and firmly occupying the title, while Lippi's Juventus finished second, Alex Ferguson's Manchester United was third, and Barcelona was at the bottom of the points and had a sluggish performance.

After this game, Ajax played another warm-up match against Lippi's Juventus.

Because De Jong performed well in the Amsterdam Cup, he gradually settled in the position of the team's main midfielder, but the new signing Mascherano became De Jong's substitute.

When it came to the game with Juventus, Ye Qiu gave Mascherano a full opportunity, hoping to better inspect the Argentine defender, but what he didn't expect was that in the 71st minute, when the team was already leading 1:0, Mascherano injured his leg in a scramble with Davies and left the game early.

Despite scoring from Ajax and Juventus in the immediate aftermath of the 2-1 win over Juventus, Mascherano was diagnosed with a leg muscle strain by the team doctor after the game and will need to be sidelined for at least a month.

Ye Qiu is very concerned about Mascherano's injury, and he knows very well that the Argentine youngster is going through a transition from Argentina to the Netherlands, not only in the football environment, but also in the living environment, so the team needs to pay more attention.

However, there is no concern about Mascherano's absence, and almost the whole of the Netherlands is paying attention to the upcoming Cruyff Cup, and they are very much looking forward to the direct dialogue between PSV Eindhoven and Ye Qiu's Ajax, especially after Ajax have shown very good form recently.

In an interview, Hiddink said that on the one hand, he did not attach importance to the Cruyff Cup, believing that it was just a warm-up game and would not affect the team's pre-season preparations, but on the other hand, he said that the team was very confident of beating the opponent at the Arena Stadium.

Although Ajax have been in excellent form in the warm-up matches, especially in the Amsterdam Cup, beating top teams such as Barcelona, Manchester United and Juventus, PSV Eindhoven have not been inferior in the warm-up matches at all, maintaining an unbeaten record in the warm-up matches.

And Hiddink's current boom in the World Cup, coupled with his own status in PSV Eindhoven and Dutch football, has made many media believe that this game will be PSV Eindhoven's counterattack on Ajax.

Interestingly, before the cup match, South Korean President Kim Dae-jung visited Europe and the Netherlands, and his entire itinerary included a trip to Amsterdam to meet with the Hiddink and PSV Eindhoven players and watch the game live at the Arena.

In an interview with the media, Kim Dae-jung expressed his confidence in Hiddink.

"He's our hero and the person I respect and love the most, and I've learned a lot from him, he's the kind of person who can always do miracles for you, and it's worth learning from everyone, and I'm confident that he can continue to be successful and continue to be successful."

In Amsterdam, when the media asked about the Chinese coached Ajax, Kim Dae-jung made a joke, believing that this was a contest between Ye Qiu, who represents China, and Hiddink, who represents South Korea.

Although it was just a joke, it caused quite a reaction, after all, Hiddink's status in South Korea is now in full swing and is regarded as pride by Korean fans, while Ye Qiu is also regarded as a hero in his home country and is admired by countless fans.

In addition, in the South Korea-Japan World Cup, although South Korea is controversial, its entry into the semi-finals has created a new peak for Asian teams, and the strength shown is also shocking, on the other hand, the national football team has performed disappointingly, in this case, South Korean fans naturally look down on Chinese fans, and even a little contempt.

Therefore, this Cruyff Cup match in the Netherlands, which is far away in Europe, seems to be just a warm-up game, but no one expected that it would cause a huge fan response in East Asia, especially after Kim Dae-jung's joke, it was directly raised to the level of country-to-country competition.

Before the game, countless media and journalists from East Asia gathered throughout Amsterdam, some from China, some from South Korea, and some from Japan, just to be able to catch a glimpse of the game.

After all, the Cruyff Cup is only a game of the Dutch Super Cup, with limited influence, and the live broadcast is limited to the Netherlands, so many reporters and media must come to the Netherlands to watch the game if they want to know the situation for the first time.

Perhaps feeling the appeal of domestic fans, CCTV also specially arranged a group of people to come to Amsterdam, led by Ye Qiu's old friend Chen Jun, who will broadcast live to China at the Cruyff Cup match site.

Regarding the emotions and reactions from domestic fans conveyed by Chen Jun, Ye Qiu smiled more bitterly, because he was facing Hiddink this time, but before the game, when he was interviewed by Chen Jun, Ye Qiu was still full of confidence and was full of confidence in winning this game.

'It's the most important game of the season and we're all going to do everything we can to win the game and I have no doubt that it's Ajax who will have the biggest laugh at the Arena Stadium!'

But Hiddink also expressed his confidence in an interview with South Korean media.

"I can't say what kind of line-up and tactics will be adopted at the moment, but I can be sure that it will be PSV Eindhoven who will win the game in the end, not just this one, and we will win the title the last game of the season."

Obviously, at such a critical juncture, no one wants to be discouraged, and everyone has to show more confidence than their opponents in order to lead their players to beat their opponents on the pitch.
