"Just like last season's Dutch Cup knockout round, Ajax's counterattack was fast and sharp, but at that time, the Ajax second team still relied more on Van der Vaart, but now, Ajax still has a sharp knife on the left, that is, Robben who has been heavily introduced from Groningen this season!"

The Dutch winger has already performed quite well in the warm-up games, winning the affirmation of many professionals and fans, and has completely suppressed Van der Meyde and occupied the main position of the team.

"We didn't expect that at the beginning of the game, it would be Ajax who would be the first to shoot dangerously, and from the process point of view, Ye Qiu's game strategy was not as conservative as some people imagined, and his tactics in this game looked more positive and aggressive."

While the on-site commentators were analyzing, Watellus kicked off, but Ajax chose to press up collectively, pressing and pressing directly from the front, and the back line was also pressed very high as a whole, which suddenly made the experienced on-site commentators notice the difference between Ajax's tactics and last season's second team.

Sacchi has said that almost all goals scored in open play occur in the process of switching between zone and man defence.

At the same time, Sacchi also said that the key to examining the overall strength of a team is its offensive and defensive transition.

When attacking, the speed and efficiency of switching from defense to offense determine a team's offensive ability, and because of this, the core of the organization will not stop being placed in the back in the next few years, from the current front 10 to the back waist, in order to further shorten the speed and efficiency of the team from defense to attack.

What could be faster and more efficient than breaking the ball at the back and then launching a counterattack by yourself at the first time?

When defending, the speed and efficiency of switching from offense to defense determine a team's defensive ability.

However, unlike the need for concentration from defense to offense, the need for decentralization from offense to defense is dispersion, that is, team operations.

According to a set of steps instilled by Ye Qiu to the players at the team's tactical preparation meeting, the first is to delay, that is, the player closest to the opponent's ball-holding player, press and press at the first time, delay the opponent's ball speed and the ability to organize counterattacks, the purpose and role of this is to win the time difference for the team.

The second is control, control the surrounding area with the opponent's ball-holding player as the core, which requires all the players in the vicinity to actively participate in the defensive run, but in order to take into account the physical consumption of the players, especially the offensive players, Ye Qiu's strategy for control is to surround but not force.

In other words, after a player uses his movement to control a local area, except for the player in front of him, the other players do not press urgently, but tightly control the perimeter area.

Once caught in a rush, the first choice of the opposing player with the ball is bound to be to pass, and the pass must be answered.

Ye Qiu called his own set of defensive strategies siege reinforcements.

In other words, as long as you delay the opponent's counterattack speed and don't let you hit the counterattack at the first time, I will immediately use the personnel advantage or the player's running to control the local area, and wait for you to pass the ball, because the moment you pass the ball, it is when I intercept.

The advantage of adopting the defensive strategy of besieging the city is obvious, that is, the offensive players who are not excellent in defense can also cooperate and quickly organize a set of tight defensive systems in the shortest possible time to delay the opponent's counterattack time, and because they are surrounded but not forced, the physical consumption of the offensive players is not large, because their running and movement are carried out according to the surrounding opponent's strategy players.

This maximizes the ability of attacking players to devote their limited physical energy to the offensive end and contribute to the team.

However, such a defensive strategy is not completely without danger, and the risks are also very high.

The first is the collective consciousness of the players, especially when the opponent switches from defense to offense, whether the nearest player has enough awareness to paste it at the first time, as well as the tactical awareness of the surrounding players to assist in defense and control areas, as well as the observation and prediction of the opponent's receiving players.

Otherwise, let the opponent pass the ball back and forth, and the delay will be there, but there is no control at all, and sooner or later there will be problems.

Therefore, Ye Qiu's set of defensive tactics is to put it bluntly, and it still relies on the whole to cooperate, but on the basis of Rehhagel's all-round defense, some things from other famous coaches have been added, such as Saki and Michels.

Recently, Ye Qiu is still studying Michels' understanding of full offense and defense, especially how to organically combine offense and defense.

It's like the high-post defensive tactics used by Ye Qiu in this game are themselves to press the defense line forward, which will make the team look more aggressive and aggressive as a whole, and also increase the intensity of the game, improving the enjoyment of the game.

PSV Eindhoven is obviously not comfortable with the kind of high defense adopted by Ajax, as well as the defensive strategy of besieging the city in the front, coupled with the fact that Ajax focused on the interception of Eindhoven's two wide balls in this game, so that Eindhoven's best attacking routine was contained.

…………

'Sneijder and Keita always roamed between our two central midfielders, plus the Brazilian midfielder in the middle, Gilberto? Silva barely got forward, so our two central midfielders almost had their way out of the ball! ”

Gretz's head assistant coach, Brandes, stood on the sidelines, staring at the game with a frown.

If he was still confident about winning Ajax before the game, then it has been more than ten minutes since the game, and PSV Eindhoven has been very passive on the field and has never been able to break through the opponent's defensive system, which makes him have to pay attention to Ajax's tactics in this game.

The Ajax defence moved forward, and it looked like there was a lot of space behind them, but the problem was that PSV Eindhoven's ball advancement was cut off in midfield and could not effectively deliver the ball to the striker's feet, so no matter how big the hole was for Ajax, you couldn't take advantage of it.

"To re-connect the ball and adduct the wing-backs, but in this way, the threat of the wings will be greatly weakened, the strikers will retreat, and the deterrence of the forwards will also be weakened, which is equivalent to a two-problem problem!"

Gretz understands this, of course, but he has to make a choice, "If we let them cut off our way of the ball, we will definitely be suppressed step by step at the end of the day, and let Kezman retreat to the midfield!" ”

PSV Eindhoven's Brookingk and Kezman are a combination of high and fast, even if Kezman retreats, as long as Bruzink can control the situation in front, PSV has enough strength to launch a second-echelon attack.

Sure enough, with Gretz adjusting, PSV Eindhoven soon found an opportunity.

After receiving the ball, Voger was harassed by Keita, and the first pass was passed to Kezman, who dropped back to get rid of Sneijder, and ran to the open to get the ball out of Van Bommel, and after Van Bommel got the ball, he quickly passed a half-high ball.

Brookingke used his body to suppress Kifu, the header was crossed behind him, Romaidal and Abidal fought for speed, grabbed the ball in front of the Frenchman and went directly into the penalty area, but fortunately Abidal and Lucio returned to the defense in time, and both of them flanked Romedahl at the same time, the latter hurriedly took the ball and did not hit the force.

"Wow, almost, PSV Eindhoven had the most threatening shot of the game, Romedahl's shot was from a tricky angle, but it didn't hit the force, Grim got the ball, a pity shot!" The on-site commentator said with regret that if this goal was scored, it would have been very exciting.

'Ajax's opening defence was pressed high and it caused PSV Eindhoven a lot of problems, but it was clear that Graetz quickly found a solution to the problem, adapted to Ajax's high post and started to turn the tide!

With the first, soon there was a second.

Still took Kezman to retreat, but this time it was looking for an opportunity to pass to Kolka on the left, who ate Heitinga one-on-one, went all the way down to the baseline and crossed, and Brookinge, who followed in the middle, shook his head and hit the goal, slightly higher.

'PSV Eindhoven's offensive is starting to pick up and the pressure on the Ajax defence is gradually increasing!'

Against the pros, especially PSV Eindhoven, who are experienced and have excellent individual ability, the weaker side will soon be overpowered if they are unable to suppress their opponents tactically.

Like Ajax, it was easy to keep PSV Eindhoven at bay from the opener, but once PSV got used to it, it quickly turned the tide and created more and more threats.

This made Ye Qiu, who was sitting in the coach's seat on the sidelines, feel the pressure.

In Ye Qiu's definition, the core element of Ajax's 433 high-post defense still lies in the numerical advantage in the local area.

To do that, you have to run, but Ajax now faces another problem.

Arjen Robben and Van der Vaart on both flanks are positioned on the side, which is to open up the team's wide passage, create attacking width, and at the same time spread out the opponent's defense, but in this way, the pressure on the three players in the midfield is very high, even if all three players can run and cover a large area, but still cannot fully cover the area between the three strikers and the back line.

"The formation is still too loose!" Bobby? Harms shook his head and sighed and looked at Ye Qiu.

The high-post defense proposed by Ye Qiu is indeed very good, but it has high requirements for the execution ability of the players, and also gives high requirements for the individual requirements of the players, and there are also many problems in the operation of Ajax.

The player's tactical execution is progressing very well, and there is basically no big problem with individual ability, but now it is impacted by the powerful Eindhoven, which immediately exposes a lot of problems, the biggest of which is that the team's three central players are under too much pressure, before Eindhoven only had Van Bommel and Warger two central midfielders, they can still be at ease, but once Kezman retreats, they immediately fall into an embarrassing situation.

Besiege the city to send reinforcements, the focus is on the siege, that is, the numerical advantage, but once it can't be surrounded, how to send reinforcements?

Ye Qiu smiled, and while they were talking, PSV Eindhoven organized two more threatening attacks, one of which also entered the penalty area, and Kezman's shot was blocked by Kifu with his foot, and turned into a corner kick.

"That's why I said I want to play more against strong teams, it's more valuable than anything else!" Ye Qiu said bitterly.

Whether it is with Lazio, Barcelona or Arsenal, problems have been exposed in several warm-up games, and Ye Qiu is also working hard to solve these problems, but no team can be flawless, so if you solve this problem, some new problems will immediately explode.

"Let Lucio and Kifu boldly take turns to grab!" Ye Qiu was ruthless.

Bobby? Harms was stunned, "Are you crazy? ”

The central defender grabs, the risk is too great, especially the opponent has a very fast Kezman, once the encirclement and robbery fail, it is immediately possible to be beaten by the opponent, that is almost a hit.

"As long as Kezman pulls back, we'll let the centre-backs come up, Gilberto? Silva's position was pressed forward, along with Sneijder and Keita, to maintain the numerical advantage in the area, but it was important to keep Abidal and Heitinga closely watching the opposing duo of Kolka and Romerdal. ”

Once the central defender grabs, there will be one less person on the back line, if the opponent's two wide players find an opportunity to cut inside at this time, the threat will be great, but there is no absolutely solid defense in this world, the other party dares to retreat a striker, why does Ye Qiu dare not press a central defender?

…………

…………

Van Praag sat in the chairman's stand, he was scared.

Leo sitting next to him? Ben Hack could clearly feel that whenever PSV Eindhoven attacked, Van Praag's legs were shaking, which made the seat shake a little, which was very noticeable.

And the most asked question by Van Praag is, "Why is PSV Eindhoven attacking again?" ”

From the start of the game to the present, half an hour has passed, Eindhoven has gone from being passive after the opening to gradually taking the initiative, and now, it has begun to return to a balanced state a little, Ye Qiu and Gretz's adjustments have played a role, and they have also restrained each other.

But Van Praag was right, Ajax were shot a little more often in this game.

In fact, it's not just this game, looking at the warm-up game, Ajax was shot a lot of times, at first Leao? Ben Hack thinks it's very strange, because according to Ye Qiu's construction of the defensive system last season, this season is based on players such as Abidal, Kifu, Heitinga, De Jong, etc., no matter how the defense is built, it will not be too bad, how can someone shoot so many times every game? This is completely counterintuitive!

Can after serious study, Leo? Ben Hack found that Ye Qiu was trying a new type of defensive system, pressing forward as a whole!

Needless to say, Leo? Ben Hack is not a stupid person, and naturally knows that the Tao is for the offense.

In other words, Ye Qiu is an admirer of offensive football in his bones, he played the Dutch Cup last season, and the reason why he was conservative was because he knew that his team was not strong, but now after coaching the first team, he is unwilling to continue to defend it.

It takes time and players to build a team's offensive and defensive system, and if Ye Qiu continues to adopt a rigid attitude, then he will have to pay a great price if he wants to transform in the future, and even have to sell some players, so he simply determined the defensive system of the defensive line from the beginning.

This comes at a cost, such as the frighteningly high number of shots so far in the warm-up games.

"Ye Qiu's courage is too big, he let the central defender easily leave his position, and he was almost seized by Kolka to score a single goal just now!" Van Praag felt that watching this game, his heartbeat accelerated by many times.

He was always worried, afraid that if he was not careful, this game would turn into a one-sided slaughter.

Leo? Ben Hack noticed that the situation was back in equilibrium, and even Ajax froze PSV Eindhoven's attack again, but because Ajax itself moved the defensive line forward, and the main battlefield was the Eindhoven half, so the balance of the scene was an advantage for Ajax.

"His courage is indeed not small!" Leo? Ben Hack smiled, he was really getting more and more curious about Ye Qiu now, this young Chinese seemed to have countless secrets, "Although Eindhoven has a lot of shots, there are not many absolute scoring opportunities that are really threatening, and it can even be said that they are pitiful, so there is not much threat." ”

Van Praag looked at Leao? Ben Hack, he didn't doubt Ben Hack's tactical ability and vision, he was just a little worried.

"Every head coach rebuilds a tactical system, he will definitely encounter all kinds of problems, and while solving these problems, he is also running in the team, so he has been shot many times, this is not a real big trouble, it depends on how Ye Qiu solves it!"

Van Praag nodded when he heard this, "He's young and inexperienced, so if you have a chance, you can give him some tips!" ”

Leo? Ben Hack listened, shook his head and said: "This is his tactic, no one knows his own pursuits and ideas better than him, and no one can give him real advice, to solve these problems, he can only rely on himself, and we are all just a group of bystanders, because we can't know this tactical system better than him." ”

Even if you know something like Bobby? Harms may not be able to give Ye Qiu suggestions and opinions to really solve the problem.

"However, boldness is not a bad thing, at least the main battlefield of both sides is now in the Eindhoven half, at this time, as long as they make a mistake, we can directly threaten the opponent's goal, this is probably the real tactical value of Ye Qiu's arrangement of this set of high defense!"

Just in Leo? Less than a minute after Ben Hack finished speaking, PSV Eindhoven was ready to counter-attack after winning the ball, the ball tossed and turned to the feet of Van Bommel and Kezman in the front line continued to retreat to the midfield.

But this time, when Van Bommel passed the ball to Kezman, Lucio suddenly gave up his position behind him, went straight up, grabbed ahead of Kezman, and stabbed the ball to nearby Sneijder.
