The format is not ...... due to the draw.

March 22, Philips Arena, Eindhoven, Netherlands.

When Arjen Robben broke through PSV Eindhoven in the 88th minute of the second half with a ball from the left, dribbled past Oyer on the left side of the penalty area, and fired a low left-footed shot through the Watrus goal, the entire Philips Stadium fell silent.

This is the third time Eindhoven have lost to Ajax this season, and they have lost three games in a row, and if you go back to the three years that Ye Qiu has been in charge of Ajax, they have hardly beaten Ajax, and they have been winless for three consecutive years.

Hiddink, the World Cup coach who came to the Philips Stadium with an aura of almost the king of the Eredivisie before the season, failed to continue his good fortune in the Korea-Japan World Cup, and suffered a very embarrassing record in several tough games in the Eredivisie, not only losing all of them to Ajax, but also losing two consecutive games against Feyenoord.

With PSV Eindhoven's strength, they were able to maintain an absolute advantage against other teams other than Ajax and Feyenoord, but in the face of real rivals, Hiddink was powerless and embarrassingly lost them all.

0:2, the big red scoreboard shows the numbers that made Hiddink and PSV Eindhoven fans want to collapse.

While it didn't look like a complete defeat, it couldn't hide PSV Eindhoven's underdogs and poor performance in this game, nor did it reflect the chances that Ajax created in this game.

If it weren't for Ibrahimovic's early injury in the 37th minute, if it weren't for the substitute Huntelaar, and Van der Vaart, who has been scoring non-stop recently, he wasted many chances, and if it wasn't for Sneijder's several long-range shots that didn't hit the target......

It is precisely because there are so many ifs that PSV Eindhoven were able to lose by only 2 goals by a very large margin.

Hiddink's so-called aura of king has long been torn apart by the media and fans, and even his worst fig leaf has not been left, because no matter how hard he is and how quibbly, he can't hide his embarrassing record of losing both Ajax and Feyenoord this season.

PSV Eindhoven were able to maintain second place in the league because they ensured the efficiency of picking points against weak teams, and in the words of the Dutch media, this is a team that bullies the weak and fears the hard, and shows its original form when it encounters strong teams.

That's true in the Champions League, it's true in the Eredivisie.

Ye Qiu didn't have much disgust with Hiddink, he always thought that Hiddink had been out of the mainstream European league for too long, and in the mainstream European league with rapid tactical reform, it was a long time since you left for a year, not to mention that he had been estranged for so many years, and recently went to distant Asia.

It's not that Ye Qiu himself looks down on Asian football, but he is talking about the fact that if Ye Qiu returns to China to coach now, it won't take long, a year, and he dares to guarantee that if he returns to Europe after a year, it will take a long time for him to re-adapt and explore the tactical trends of mainstream European leagues.

Hiddink slowly walked out of the dugout, dragging his seemingly heavy steps towards the away team's dugout.

When Ye Qiu's hand was held with Hiddink, he found that Hiddink was a little unable to control his strength, at first he used a lot of strength, but soon loosened it again, and finally as if he was apologizing, he supported Ye Qiu's right hand with both hands.

Hiddink didn't say anything during the whole process, maybe he was embarrassed, because at the beginning of the season, he underestimated Ye Qiu too much, and he also underestimated the Eredivisie too much.

If nothing else, he felt he could make a difference in the Eredivisie based on his achievements in PSV Eindhoven, the fame he had accumulated over the years, and the performance he had just led South Korea in the World Cup.

People, when they have just achieved outstanding results, they will inevitably be fluttering.

Seeing that Hiddink didn't say a word, turned around and walked back to the home team's coach's seat, Ye Qiu was secretly warning himself in his heart, Hiddink's today may be his own tomorrow, at any time, in any environment, he should maintain a humble heart, and never forget that he can get to where he is today, what does he rely on?

Is it by your own talent? By your own talent? Rely on the ethereal godfather in your own mind to cultivate the system? Wrong, these are part of the reason, but definitely not the most important. The most important thing for him to be able to get to where he is today is that he is willing to work hard, be willing to pay, be willing to put down his body, and learn with an open mind. There is no end to learning, like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat!" How's Zlatan's injury?" As soon as the game at Philips Stadium ended, Ye Qiu walked into the players' tunnel and was the first to find Roland.

This Dutch fat man who rose all the way from the youth team to the first team with Ye Qiu is doing those trivial things of sesame mung beans next to Ye Qiu, and it seems that there is no professionalism at all, and it is dispensable, but if there is really no such person, Ye Qiu will be very unaccustomed to it, and everyone will feel unaccustomed to it.

"The situation is not very optimistic, Peter Brandt took him back to Amsterdam early, and the initial judgment was that he sprained his knee." Roland walked with Ye Qiuwang locker room.

Ye Qiu frowned, hurting his knee, this is a fatal part, don't make a big mess.

Perhaps seeing Ye Qiu's expression, Roland hurriedly added: "It shouldn't be very serious, but when exactly will he come back, it depends on the results of the examination, Peter Brandt's most optimistic assessment is two weeks." ”

Two weeks, if it's only two weeks, then Ye Qiu won't be worried at all.

After playing PSV Eindhoven, the Eredivisie immediately ushered in a two-week league suspension, the national team trained to prepare for the European Championship qualifiers, but after the training camp, Ajax is about to welcome Juventus, this time playing away first, then at home.

This is the advantage of the top spot in the group stage, with the away team and then the home, which is a favorable schedule for the knockout round.

Ye Qiu nodded, "Let's talk about it later." ”

As soon as he took two steps, he remembered something, "You help me get two tickets to the De Kuyp Stadium, I want to see Nedved, and then arrange for scouts to watch the Italian and French teams play separately." ”

During the two-week national team break, the Netherlands has to play a European Championship qualifier against the Czech Republic, and Italy and France also have game tasks, but because the schedule is very tight, Ye Qiu can't watch all the games, so he wants to watch the Netherlands and the Czech Republic.

The match featured a number of Ajax and Juventus internationals, such as Edgar Davies the wild boar and Czech midfielder Nedved, who were the most powerful stars in the Juventus team.

To be honest, Lippi's Juventus squad is really not as good as the old lady of Capello later, the first very important thing is the backline, Ferrara is a lot older, Iuliano has always been unconvincing, Thuram is now playing at right-back, and players like Pesotho, Montero, Billindeli, Tudor and so on.

This backline is still not strong enough compared to Juventus in the later Capello period, which is why Juventus will concede 11 goals in the second round of the group stage.

In terms of midfield, Davies is definitely underestimated, Ye Qiu knows the strength of the Dutchman very well, but he is not liked by Lippi, but Conte, Tudor and others have been pulled into the midfield many times, and there is also a Tacinadi.

Juventus's most commonly used tactical formation this season is 4312, with three players in the midfield, Nedved playing in front, two strikers in front, Trezeguet always in front, and the other is Piero or Di Vayo, the two players move forward or backward according to the opponent's tactics, and the formation changes back and forth between 4312 and 4321.

But there is no doubt that Nedved is the most important player in this Juventus team.

Ye Qiu watched the Netherlands vs. the Czech Republic, in addition to inspecting his own players, it was more important to see Nedved.

Back in Amsterdam, Ye Qiu failed to receive good news from Peter Brandt.

Ibrahimovic sprained his knee, the injury is not light, the initial estimate is two to three weeks, judging from Peter Brandt's tone, it should be three weeks more likely, so it is unknown whether he can catch up with the game against Juventus.

Ibrahimovic is a vital part of the current Ajax attacking tactics, with him, he can suppress the opponent's central defenders to the maximum, completely disrupt the opponent's defence, create opportunities for Ajax's attack, and find holes.

Huntelaar is a very good scorer, he has a very keen sense of goal, but he cannot be the core of the attack like Ibrahimovic, and he can predict that against Juventus, Lippi will do everything possible to tighten the defense.

How to fight this game, Ye Qiu didn't have a score in his heart.

In the next few days, the players went to the national team to report, and Ajax also ushered in a holiday, except for Ibrahimovic and a few other injured players, everyone else can take a temporary vacation, and Ye Qiu has been with the coaching staff for several days to conduct targeted analysis of Juventus, as well as discuss the tactical arrangement, and then simply went to Cambridge to rest.

The wedding date of the two of them has been scheduled, and in June, Huang Chu, this girl, was a little nervous, and secretly bought a lot of things for marriage or home use, so that Ye Qiu almost didn't die of laughter after seeing it, and in the past few days in Cambridge, they have actually not been idle.

Ye Qiu specially went to customize a set of Armani's wedding dress, and he also specially accompanied Huang Chu to customize a white wedding dress tailored for Huang Chu by the wedding queen Verawan9, for which the two also flew to New York.

After finishing these things, Ye Qiu also returned to the Netherlands, accompanied by Roland, to Rotterdam to watch the European Cup qualifiers between the Netherlands and the Czech Republic.

This is the l00th international match at De Kuip Stadium, so this game has made many Dutch fans feel a little special meaning, and in the game, the Netherlands also insisted on attacking football, launching attacking tactics from the beginning.

The Czechs put on a 45L tactic, leaving high school striker Jankoller in front, and to Ye Qiu's disappointment, Nedved was placed in the left midfield position, which was a little different from his forward position at Juventus.

Nedved used to play left wing-back, and when he joined Juventus, Lippi still placed him in the left wing-back position, instead of letting him play as a forward midfielder to replace Zidane, but Nedved felt that he could not play his best on the left side, so he had a long talk with Lippi, and then he was arranged to play as a forward midfielder, cruising behind the double striker.

Nedved's forward midfielder is actually a bit like Kaka, of course, the Czech's range of movement and ability to counter-attack in front of the field are stronger than Kaka, but the characteristics of the two as a back-insert attacking scoring point are the same, Nedved has scored nine goals in Serie A and four goals in the Champions League after playing as a midfielder this season.

The Czech midfielder has his own characteristics, that is, almost everywhere, at the expense of physical running, which is a huge threat to any team's midfield, and through this wide range of runs to find opportunities, through the pull and interference of the two strikers in front of them, Nedved found a hole behind them, and immediately stepped in to attack.

This has become a vital part of modern football tactical attack.

Bayer Leverkusen's success last year was actually the success of Ballack's attacking tactics as a midfielder, and it was difficult to defend against Ballack's back, because you don't know when he was plugged in, and as long as he plugged in, he could create a threat.

Although Nedved was deployed as a left wing-back, he was also often inserted into the box and played as a striker.

"If you can't choke Nedved, it's hard to limit Juventus' attack!"

In the stands of De Kuyp Stadium, Ye Qiu didn't pay attention to the game, and he was more caught up in thinking about how to compete with Juventus.

There is no doubt that when playing Juventus, the attack must play wide, and even Ye Qiu recently watched Lippi and Ancelotti's thoughts and reflections on the Champions League final in the 02/O3 season in the godfather development system, and they finally mentioned one point, that is, the wing attack.

It is interesting to note that Lippi eliminated Real Madrid in the semi-finals, and in the final he limited AC Milan, and in addition to relying on the overall contraction of the defense, he also made a tight arrangement for the opponent's wings, such as letting Davies play against Figo in particular when playing Real Madrid.

Whether it is AC Milan or Real Madrid, there is no doubt that they attach great importance to the penetration of the middle and the possession of the ball, but in the face of shrinking defense, the threat of losing the side "cannot play an effective tactical width, and the middle is a pool of backwater."

Ajax's wide attack is sharp, and the wings of Robben and Van der Vaart are undoubtedly better, more threatening and more impactful than the wings of AC Milan and Real Madrid, and he is confident that Lippi will be tightly arranged and defended.

With the current situation of Juventus, it is certain to play defense, and what Ye Qiu has to think about now is how to cut through Juventus's iron wall while cutting through Juventus's iron wall in the absence of Ibrahimovic and losing such a tactical high point, but also have to limit Juventus's counterattack.

After returning to Amsterdam from Rotterdam, Ye Qiu gathered the coaching staff of the first team again and held a meeting in Detokmost.

This time, the coaches discussed the report sent by the scouts, as well as Ye Qiu's experience of watching the game in Rotterdam, and analyzed and predicted the possible tactics of Juventus. After the team regrouped, the 26th round of the Eredivisie was also quickly rekindled, and Ajax welcomed Roosendaal at home.

Everyone can see that Ye Qiu did not arrange all the main lineup to play in order to prepare for the Champions League match with Juventus in midweek, Robben, Van der Vaart, Sneijder, Mascherano, Lucio, McConn and other players were excluded from the starting lineup by Ye Qiu and even did not play in the whole game.

But in the end, thanks to goals from Frenkie de Jong, Van der Meyde, Hleb and Huntelaar, Ajax beat Roosendaal 4-l at home to show their strong attacking power and strong overall strength in the Eredivisie.

In the same round, PSV Eindhoven drew with Willem II with a difficult L:1 away.

In the last round of the king-of-the-king matchup, Ajax defeated PSV Eindhoven 2:OD/, successfully widening the gap to 5 points, and now PSV Eindhoven has drawn, and the points have been further expanded, accumulating to 7 points.

With eight games left in the Eredivisie and seven points down, almost everyone feels that PSV Eindhoven have lost hope of catching up with Ajax, and unless Ajax collapses at the last moment, the Eredivisie title will be successfully defended by Ajax.

But at the press conference when the team traveled to Turin to challenge Juventus away, Ye Qiu showed no signs of excitement when the team was already hailed as the biggest favorite to win the Eredivisie.

'As I said, we're a team with big ambitions, we're not just looking at the Eredivisie, we want to win more, and it takes all of us to work together and play every game.'

"It's not the credit of anyone who has made it to where we are, it's the result of the hard work of every player in the team for a season, I'm proud of my players, I also believe that we have the quality to win everything, and I believe that at the Alp Stadium in Turin, we can come home victorious!"

Ye Qiu's ambition has infected Ajax's players, and this group of young talents is not afraid of the star-studded Juventus at all, and Lippi also expressed concern about Ajax's group of newborn calves and talented young players in the pre-match press conference.

'They're young and they have a surprising drive, which allows them to be competitive anytime and anywhere, and I have no doubt that they are the best of the new generation of players in European football, and against a team like that we have to stay focused and give it our all to win the game.'

"Of course, being young isn't necessarily a good thing!"

Although Lippi praised Ajax more and wanted to paralyze his opponent mentally, the last sentence was very confident, because he faced Ajax at the Alp Stadium, and almost all the Italian media also believed that it would not be a problem to win Ajax.

Especially the Republican Daily, who had a feud with Ye Qiu before, shouted, "Let's teach those unweaned children at the Alp Stadium what is called football!"

But the moment everyone got the starting lineup of Ajax, they were all taken aback by Ye Qiu's arrangement.
