'Van der Vaart got the ball on the right and Kaladze went up to defend.'

"McCone quickly plugged in from behind, and the two made a combination, McCone got the ball, quickly went down, and crossed!"

'Ibrahimovic !! with a header'

"Beautiful, Dida knocks the ball out with one punch, Nesta clears it quickly!"

"The ball flew out of the box, Sneijder chested the ball and shot from distance!!"

The entire Arena Stadium was hung up in one breath after Sneijder's shot, and even some excited fans had already rushed out of their seats, wanting to shout loudly and celebrate the team's goal.

But it's a pity that Sneijder's long-range shot from 32 meters away from the goal failed to suppress the ball in the end, and it was high!

"Ajax's start was very positive and fast-paced, especially in the movement of the ball, quickly passing through the midfield, using two wings to plan the attack, this attacking routine played very lively after the opening, and it was obviously Ye Qiu's arrangement and targeted tactics against AC Milan."

The live TV camera was given to the home team's coach's box, sitting in the first place, Ye Qiu, who shook his head a few times after Sneijder's long-range shot missed, but obviously there was no other superfluous action, holding his chin and continuing to watch the game there.

'It's a crucial game and whoever wins it will be able to qualify from the group, but AC Milan are clearly more disadvantageous because they have to win, but Ajax only need a draw to qualify!'

Ancelotti stood outside from the beginning, looking nervous, making adjustments from time to time, shouting to the players, while Ye Qiu always sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, calmly sitting in the home team's coach's box, holding his chin and watching the game.

This was the sixth leg of the first round of the Champions League group stage at the Arena Stadium, and as with all games played at the Arena Stadium, Ajax used their advantage from the start, adopting fast-paced attacking tactics, combined with the team's tight defence and midfield pressing, causing AC Milan a lot of problems.

In reality, Ajax were inferior to AC Milan in terms of possession, but the Eredivisie side started the game by creating more dangerous attacks than the Rossoneri, who had yet to even have a shot on target.

Ye Qiu was satisfied with the development of the game situation, because the players executed his tactics well.

Why is it that more than ten minutes have passed since the game, but AC Milan has not yet completed the shot?

When Ye Qiu got the AC Milan starting list before the game, he felt strange on the one hand, but on the other hand, he was telling his players that even when the opponent's double striker and Rivaldo were pulled to the side to receive the ball, the defenders and midfielders must keep up, especially against Rivaldo.

In this game, Ye Qiu brought Arteta closer to Mascherano in order to ensure that Rivaldo had an Ajax player to defend and harass at all times.

"I can't figure it out!" Ye Qiu looked at the trend of the game and shook his head, "Why would you give up the single striker who has played smoothly so far this season, and instead adopt the tactics of double striker Garivaldo?" ”

There were concerns before the season that AC Milan's two-striker combination was not ideal, and with Shevchenko's injury, Inzaghi performed very well in the single striker position, and AC Milan's 4321 Christmas tree tactics also played very well, but since Shevchenko's return from injury, AC Milan seems to have been affected.

Of course, Ye Qiu will not say that this is Shevchenko's responsibility, it has nothing to do with the Ukrainians.

"With two strikers, Shevchenko and Inzaghi are frequently pulled to the wings, which is obviously to suppress our two full-backs." Bobby? Harms tried to analyse it in Ancelotti's mind.

Ye Qiu smiled after hearing this, "So I just asked McCone and Abidal to adjust their responsibilities and put them in position when defending, but as soon as our midfielders get the ball, they find a gap and boldly press forward, and get rid of the impact of this tactic to the greatest extent, it will have no effect at all." ”

The biggest risk of 433 is that the distance between the winger and the fullback is too long, Ancelotti uses two forwards to pull the side to affect and interfere with the two fullbacks, but Ye Qiu adopts this strategy of being in position when defending, but boldly pressing when he holds the ball, to fill this hole to the greatest extent.

However, this is only theoretical, the key is still in the execution of the players, but from the beginning of the game, Ajax and AC Milan's tactics were well executed, and neither took advantage of anything.

"It stands to reason that if I play as a double striker, I would consider Rui? Costa, but Ancelotti used Rivaldo for this game, and this Brazilian is not the kind of number nine and a half, so from the perspective of the game, it is a bit like a striker. ”

After listening to Ye Qiu's words, Bobby? Hams couldn't help laughing, the more he communicated with Ye Qiu, the easier it was for him to find that Ye Qiu's tactical sense of smell was really very good, and now almost as soon as he saw the opponent's tactics and formation, as soon as he understood the characteristics of the opponent's players' skills, he could quickly grasp the opponent's strengths, weaknesses and loopholes.

"With Rui? Costa's problem is also obvious, the pace of the midfield is slow, and they suffered such a loss in the last game at the San Siro, so Ancelotti will not continue to use Rui in this game? Costa, instead of using Rivaldo, is also worried that the slow pace problem will be used by us again! ”

'But with Rivaldo, the tandem between the midfield and the attacking line is very problematic, Mascherano and Arteta cut off the link directly, and now they want to pass the ball to the feet of the two strikers, and they have to choose between wide and long balls.

While analyzing, Bobby? Harms also felt a little helpless for Ancelotti, why use two strikers?

Originally let Rivaldo and Rui? Costa plays 4321's 2 at the same time, which should be regarded as the best solution to fill the problem of slow midfield movement and connect the midfield and the striker, although this may seem a bit of a loss, after all, it uses two players to make up for what should normally be done by one person, such as Kaka in the future.

But sometimes, you don't have a choice, you have to compromise with reality.

But Ancelotti used a double striker in this game, playing 4312, and in the case of three players in the midfield who could not move, it could only be from Rui? Choosing between Costa and Rivaldo, and whichever one is chosen, is a big problem.

This is for what Ye Qiu saw AC Milan's starting lineup, and adjusted the team's starting tactics in the locker room.

"And, did you notice, Bobby?" Ye Qiu smiled and looked at Bobby beside him? Harms.

Every time the Dutchman came to the game, his face was as red as a Fuji apple, and he looked excited and excited, a bit like Ferguson, but in Ye Qiu's opinion, Bobby? Harms was much more amiable than Ferguson.

"What?" Bobby? Harms didn't understand what Ye Qiu was referring to.

'Their full-backs are always very deep!' Ye Qiu said with a smile.

The difference between 4321 and 4312 is whether there is one more or one less in the midfield.

Don't underestimate this one, because when the three lines are tightly compressed, the difference between one more and one less in the midfield area between 10 and 20 meters is still obvious, at least in terms of the point of departure and the position of the cut.

AC Milan's midfield is indeed very creative, Pirlo, Gattuso and Seedorf, plus whether it is Rivaldo or Rui in front? Costa, and even two players playing four 10s together, were brilliant in their creativity, but that was in the middle, and the flanks were the weakness of this set.

Carlo Ancelotti is clearly becoming more aware of this problem, so he wants to bring in a right-back during the winter break, including Roma's Cafu, because in his opinion, full-backs are not just about defending, because the midfield lacks wide attacks, so the insertion of full-backs is very important.

From 4321 to 4312, there is one less person in the midfield, and the pressure increases, especially on the side, plus Ajax's attack is good at going on the side, Van der Vaart and Robben are almost all fullbacks against each other, AC Milan At the beginning of this game, the side attack was completely abolished.

According to the current situation, if you fight in the middle, Ajax has no advantage, which is equivalent to hitting the opponent's advantageous area, so he chose to go to the side, so he quickly issued another order to adjust the team's tactics, that is, high-intensity pressure in the middle, and more side after taking the ball.

"I thought it would be a tough battle, but now it seems that I should amplify my ambitions, not just to win, but to win beautifully!" Ye Qiu showed a confident smile.

Bobby? Harms also smiled after hearing this, obviously supporting Ye Qiu's opinion.

Sometimes, the outcome of a game is predestined!

…………

…………

Ajax soon created another very good chance to score.

When Dario? Simic once left his position to receive the ball from midfield, but the pass was intercepted by Mascherano and passed to Sneijder, who played a diagonal pass that Robben quickly cut into Simic's area and headed straight into the AC Milan penalty area.

Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart also pressed on the first time, and it became a three-on-three for a while, but because Van der Vaart pulled Karazar to the right, the middle became a two-on-two.

Robben crossed with a kick, Ibrahimovic knocked back behind him after getting the ball, but the ball was touched by Nesta, Robben who had rushed over the head had to retreat to receive the ball, at this time Gattuso had already come, and Robben quickly shook off Gattuso, passed to the right post of the goal, Ibrahimovic followed up with the shot was arrived and saved in his arms.

This time the offense did not have an effect again, but it made Simic feel a little heartbeat when he returned to the defense, if this goal was scored, the biggest responsibility was him, so he was afraid and depressed in his heart to warn himself, don't go any further.

Don't seek merit, but seek no fault!

Simic on the right side was stubbornly stuck to his position, although AC Milan's midfield had fewer routes to the ball, and Ajax frequently broke the ball successfully, but it was difficult to play an effective attack on the left side, so he began to move to the right side.

I saw that after Mascherano cut off the ball passed to Rivaldo, McCone next to him quickly inserted the ball.

The ball was at the feet of McConn, who quickly shook off Seedorf with his pace and dribbled quickly down the right to the AC Milan defence, and after attracting the attention of Kaladze, McCone passed the ball to Van der Vaart.

Van der Vaart won the ball outside the right corner of the penalty area, and in the face of Maldini's defense, he made a gesture to cut inside with the ball in the middle, but at this time, Pirlo and Gattuso had already returned, so Maldini was not fooled, and Van der Vaart also really failed to make a feint, and quickly followed the right side of the penalty area line to dribble the ball down.

The pace was evident in the moment, and even if Maldini was aware of it, he still found the opportunity for the Dutchman to cross against the explosive Van der Vaart, who crossed the ball to the ground before going out of the line.

Nesta was standing behind Maldini, also moving, Van der Vaart's pass was blocked by his subconscious kick, the ball from the original horizontal pass, into a return pass, and the second round of Sneijder was just at the front of the big penalty area, as soon as he saw Nesta's clearance ball did not hit the force, the first time to rush forward.

Nesta was also aware of the problem and reacted quickly and made a flying move to block the gun's hole, but Sneijder was quicker and stabbed the ball almost in a straight line, at a very fast speed, straight into the bottom right corner of the goal.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！”

"In the 17th minute, in the 17th minute, by Wesley? Sneijder scores the opener for Ajax! ”

I saw that Sneijder had excitedly rushed out of the AC Milan penalty area, and the whole person quickly pulled up his jersey, covered it above his head, and rushed out of the stadium all the way, sliding under the Ajax chairman's stand, opening his arms and accepting the cheers in the stands like a landslide.

Ye Qiu, who was sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai platform, also clenched his fists and shouted for the first time after seeing Sneijder's goal, and stood up to talk to Bobby? Hams, Rick Link, Van Basten, Roland and other aides each high-fived in celebration and looked happy.

"This time Ajax's attack was very sudden, from playing on the left side just now, suddenly it became playing on the right side, AC Milan was obviously caught off guard, especially in the defense on the side, McCone pounced directly on the AC Milan defense very smoothly, the Rossoneri's midfield defense is useless, it can be said that this goal seems to be accidental, but it is really impossible to sympathize with AC Milan."

Ancelotti hugged his round head hard after the team conceded a goal, looking very depressed.

From the very beginning of the game, he felt that the situation was very uncomfortable, AC Milan has always been in a very awkward state to play, the things that the players are best at have not been played at all, and what he originally had high hopes for was that the double striker and Rivaldo's side could create some threats to Ajax's wing, but he didn't expect Ye Qiu to be afraid at all.

This can't be said to be Ye Qiu's problem, this game Ajax did not adopt the usual high defense, but with a more rigorous defensive preparation, they allowed AC Milan's midfield to control the ball, but firmly cut off the link from midfield to the forward line, Arteta and Mascherano looked more like a double midfielder.

When Ajax built a wall between the front line and the midfield, AC Milan's ball path was completely cut off.

The ball path was cut off, the attack was in a dilemma, and the team's tactical problems were gradually exposed, especially on the wings.

Ye Qiu was very decisive and had a very accurate vision, gave up the entanglement on the side, gave up those meaningless competition for possession, played directly on the side, and used his most advantageous advantage to destroy AC Milan's loopholes.

So throughout the game, almost all of Ajax's threats have been launched from the wings.

"If we hadn't played two strikers, maybe we wouldn't have been so passive!" Ancelotti shook his head helplessly.

This sentence was taken by his assistant Mauro? Tasotti heard it, but didn't say anything, because he knew that Ancelotti's might actually be light, in order to take into account the overall situation, AC Milan's biggest mistake in this game was the double striker.

"Think again? Maybe saved! Tassotti began.

Ancelotti shook his head, how can he figure out a way for a while?

But there is a ready-made, one of Shevchenko or the Great Inzaghi, on Rui? Costa, and even Serginho, can help the team turn around the current unfavorable situation.

However, in the end, he still did not have such courage and determination!

Ajax looked morale-boosting after the goal, AC Milan became very passive, and Ancelotti did not make any substantial changes, resulting in AC Milan's passive situation not being well adjusted, and the field still looked passive.

In the words of the on-field commentator, "AC Milan do control the ball, but they can't organise an effective attack, so what's the use of having possession? More possession in the midfield and back can be a fatal hazard for your team! ”

And this was quickly verified.

Andrea Pirlo was cut off by Mascherano and passed to Mikel Arteta, Gattuso was shown a yellow card for a tackle on the left side of the box, and Ajax was given a well-placed free-kick from the outside of the left-hand corner of the box.

Mikel Arteta stood at the free-kick spot and watched as more and more Ajax players burst in the box, with taller players such as Kivo, Lucio, Abidal and Ibrahimovic rushing in, while shorter players such as Van der Vaart and Robben were also waiting for their chances, and Sneijder was ambushed outside the box.

As Mikel Arteta whipped in a corner, Kiv and Ibrahimovic raced from the centre to the left at the same time, which immediately sent the likes of AC Milan's Nesta and Maldini to the left, and in a hurry, they couldn't think much about where Ajax's free-kick would land, just to keep an eye on someone.

What they didn't expect was that Arteta's free-kick fell into the gap behind them, Lucio was originally ambushed on the right, and quickly rushed to the middle after the ball was released, without Nesta, Lucio jumped high, a bit of a crowd feeling, and no one around him even interfered with him.

The ball hit his head, turned in a veer, and crashed into the goal line, and Dida didn't even have time to react!
