Although Zidane seems to play on the left wing in Real Madrid's formation, in reality, he is more of a middle, more like a virtual side, and the whole left side is more conceded to Robert Carlos.

Ye Qiu's game was specifically aimed at Real Madrid's set of tactical play, adjusting the team's defensive position, among them, replacing Arteta with Yaya Toure, a very important reason is the Ivorian defensive ability, covering a wide area, which can maximize the free up of Mascherano.

McCone was positioned a little further forward in this match, which had the advantage of being able to cut forward against Robert Carlos and play with Mascherano and contain Zidane, limiting the Frenchman's space to the maximum.

And McConn's position is forward, there are many opportunities to directly participate in the frontcourt attack, Zidane himself almost does not participate in the on-the-spot counter-robbery, so as long as his own side gets the ball, there is a chance that McCone boldly stepped forward.

After the opening, Ajax's two wings played lively, playing fast, avoiding Makelele's defensive zone as much as possible.

Because Zidane and Figo are not actively involved in the defense, this makes Real Madrid's two wings often in a one-on-one, or even one-on-two embarrassing situation, and the two central defenders must watch Ibrahimovic to the greatest extent, and it is difficult to help the side, which makes the side defense of the horse very passive

Although Real Madrid played a double back in this game, Guti's position was relatively forward, and the sense of defense was not strong, so on the defensive end, it was more dependent on Makelele, but there was only one person in the French back, and it was difficult to cover the entire field.

Ajax sometimes plays on the left, sometimes on the right, and sometimes on the left and right wings, which makes it difficult for Makelele to take care of the defense of both wings at the same time.

Just like this time, Sneijder split the ball to the right side, McCone stepped forward and entered the 30-meter area of Real Madrid, took the ball 45 degrees diagonally to the front of the penalty area to find Ibrahimovic, the Swede pressed Hierro, the header knocked back, and Van der Vaart, who pulled from the right side to the middle, quickly kicked the ball to the front line, and quickly plugged in, directly using speed to break through Elgra and pick up the back point.

At this time, Ibrahimovic had already shaken off Hierro and quickly entered the penalty area, but there was still no time, and he could only watch the ball pass in front of Real Madrid's goal and could not do anything.

But Robben on the left rushed to the big penalty area before Salgado, intercepted the ball in front of the left bottom line, picked up a half-high ball, and went to Ibrahimovic again, and the Swede happened to come to the small penalty area at this time.

Hierro, who had been blocked in front of Ibrahimovic, thought that the ball would go out of the bottom line, but he didn't expect Robben to save him again, and he was a little surprised, and he didn't have time to block Ibrahimovic, and he saw that the Swedish center had easily faced Robben's incoming ball, stopped on his chest, picked up his left foot, and directly shot with gravity, and the ball went straight to Real Madrid's goal

"The ball went in"

"Just 10 minutes into the first half, Ajax opened the scoring against Real Madrid"

"Oh my God, very, very skilful combination, the Ajax players looked more combative and more eager to play, Robben didn't give up when he saw the ball go out of the line, chased straight to the bottom line, and finally managed to intercept the ball and sent a very beautiful cross to Ibrahimovic"

"Real Madrid's defence has always been the most unsettling part of all Real Madrid fans, they have the strongest attacking group in the world, but they also have the most worrying defence, and it is difficult for Real Madrid to cope with such a skilful and fluid attack by Ajax"

The on-site commentators were a little surprised that the game broke the deadlock so early, after all, in such an important final, a single goal will often determine the rest of the game, and will also affect the fighting spirit and morale of the opposing sides.

Ye Qiu saw Ibrahimovic score the ball on the sidelines, he was so excited that he opened his arms frantically, rushed to his assistants and players on the bench, hugged them one by one to celebrate, and finally faced the live camera close to him, held his right fist, and let out an angry roar.

"We're going to win, we're going to win"

The Ajax players on the pitch were already celebrating like crazy on the sidelines, and the Ajax fans in the stands were just as crazy, and countless Ajax fans were already dancing there, and they couldn't imagine how excited the team would be if they did beat Real Madrid to win the title.

'Ajax got off to a very fast start and they looked very aggressive from the first minute, while Real Madrid didn't look very excited after the start and gave the illusion that this wasn't a Champions League final, but a very frustrating Copa del Rey game.

"Of course, Real Madrid's slump has also been suppressed by Ajax to some extent, which makes it difficult for them to play in the rhythm they are familiar with and used to, and Ajax enjoy this kind of fast-paced attack and defense."

"We got the news before the game that Ajax came to Old Trafford almost two hours early to warm up and train before the start of this game, while Real Madrid was an hour early, and even a Spanish media reporter interviewed the superstar and found that he was not sweating after the warm-up."

"Perhaps, from this little bit of insignificant detail, we can clearly see that the two teams have shown two very different attitudes towards this Champions League final, Real Madrid is indeed the strongest team in football today, but it is far from the point where they can beat strong opponents casually."

'Of course, it was just a goal, a wake-up call for Real Madrid, and Bosque should make adjustments and changes as soon as possible, especially since this mentality of the players must be reversed.

"Another point is the manager's tactical competition, Ye Qiu appears bolder, but also more targeted, he uses Yaya Toure instead of Arteta, and the Ivorian to help Mascherano, which further limits the space for Zidane, Guti and Raul to move, making it difficult for them to use their technical advantages as they want."

"And after the opening, it seems bold to invest heavy troops to attack, but it is actually very effective against Real Madrid's defensive disadvantage, Ajax is more through two wings to attack, and the wing attack is precisely Ajax's advantage, Makelele alone is difficult to take care of two wings at the same time."

When it comes to this, the on-site commentator also feels very helpless, in the Champions League, especially in the knockout round, which is a more targeted game, although the offense is important, the defense is equally important, and it is difficult to have a chance to go to the bottom if you can't balance the offense and defense, even if the attack is as strong as Real Madrid, it is the case.

Bosque really didn't expect that Ajax's start would be so risky, but he also clearly saw that his death hole was firmly pinched in Ye Qiu's hands, and he did not relax.

After taking a goal lead, Ajax seemed to have some conservative awareness, began to consciously slow down the tempo, gathered forces and began to stabilize the defense, and their defense started from the middle line, and the defense entered the 30-meter area of their side, which was not considered a retreat, but orderly.

Real Madrid's offense and defense are too torn, offense is offense, defense is defense, the whole team seems to be separated into two parts, and when Real Madrid attack, when Real Madrid's superstars enter the Ajax half, they will be very panicked to find that there are always two or three Ajax players around them.

Ajax's three lines are kept tight, the distance between the players is also kept at the right distance, and they maintain echoes and connections, while their aggressive pressing and pressing in the front court, and active running strategies, make their players very effective in separating Real Madrid players who advocate individual play

As a result, the fantastic passing and receiving combination was overwhelmed by the rampage of running, and the mercury-like attack was overshadowed by the foul whistle after foul whistle, Real Madrid have always been proud and proud of the attack, and in the face of Ajax's tight defensive system, there is no threat at all.

Zinedine Zidane lacked support from his teammates and was tied up by Ajax, Raul worked hard but couldn't create chances for his team-mates, Figo faced Abidal on the right and didn't take much advantage, and Ronaldo was alone in front waiting for a pass behind him.

But in Bosque's opinion, none of this is terrible, and what is really scary is that this group of players clearly lacks fighting spirit.

Last season, Real Madrid performed very well, the attack and defense were more balanced, because at that time the double back was a combination of Elgra and Makelele, these two players are still in place to protect the backline, but this season, Bosque in order to stabilize the defense, put Elgra back, partnered with Hierro, and the result was a problem in the midfield

Last season, the players were obviously more desired, Figo and Zidane, the two superstars, were eager to prove their worth in front of the team and the fans, so they all worked hard, plus Raul, Guti, Morientes and other stalwarts, Real Madrid's entire midfield is still very hardworking.

But this season, after experiencing the peak, this group of superstars of Real Madrid has obviously begun to become lazy.

Everyone has a sense of comparison, in the eyes of Zidane, Figo and others, why doesn't Ronaldo have to run or force in front? Is it because he can score? Does it mean that if you can score, you don't have to run?

Well, I can pass the ball well, I can break through the defense, I don't run, I can do my job

Of course, Zidane and others may not have this kind of mind, but to a certain extent, the increasingly heavy superstar style makes the whole team look very lazy, losing its integrity and enthusiasm, and many times have to rely on the individual performance of the superstar to determine the trend of the game, and the individual is always the most unreliable, because people will make mistakes and there will be ups and downs in the state.

This situation will not be seen when the wind is smooth, because in victory, everyone will only focus on the bright superstars, but no one will notice the hidden dangers lurking behind the superstars' light.

Equally worrisome is the loss of local leaders.

In normal times, Hierro, as the captain of the team, would not hesitate to stand up and criticize the laziness of his teammates, and control the dressing room with the strength characteristic of his captain, but in the past two seasons, Hierro has rarely done such things.

It's like now on the pitch he barely calls out to his teammates because he can't do it

The 35-year-old Hierro has long passed his prime, he was not a central defender in the first place, although he performed well after returning to play as a central defender, but as he got older, he was criticized by outside fans and the media in the past two years.

If the criticism of fans and media in the past still can't shake Hierro's position in the locker room, then with the addition of more and more superstars, Hierro has to face an embarrassing situation, that is, how to use his identity, which has been criticized by fans and the media, to command those superstars who have been praised by the media and fans, so that they can put down their bodies and do what they want.

Bosque saw all this, but he did not give any effective solution, as if now on the pitch, Real Madrid is behind, facing Ajax who has stabilized the defense, and in the face of the attack that has been delayed, Bosque still has no choice.

Perhaps, no one has ever told Bosque that he is also responsible for the loss of power of the local leader, because he relies too much on family management and wants to have a good relationship with the superstars, which indirectly leads to the promotion of the superstar faction and the loss of power of the local leaders.

But this kind of thing, whether it is the president of Real Madrid or the manager of Real Madrid, is very difficult, and it is difficult to blame one party alone.

Slowing down the tempo and defending the counterattack, it seems that Ye Qiu's Ajax is going to keep the score of 0 first.

Even the on-site commentator felt that the attack after the opening seemed to be just Ajax's accidental madness, more like using the opening to frustrate Real Madrid's spirit, Ajax's real theme in this game is still defensive counterattack, or to consolidate their defense first.

"Ye Qiu's thinking really can't be wrong, after all, such an important game should be more stable."

But in fact, only everyone in Ajax knows what to do, slow down the tempo, and defend the counterattack, this is just a strategy that Ye Qiu arranged before the game, because the team cannot maintain a fast pace for a long time, so it is necessary to properly release control and initiative, and hook Real Madrid out to play.

From the first goal, Real Madrid launched a round of counterattacks, on the one hand, Ajax consolidated their defense through tight defense and effective foul delay tactics, and on the other hand, organized sharp counterattacks, but basically only focused on two or three troops.

This undoubtedly further fueled Real Madrid's attack, and Roberto Carlos was even more active on the left flank, frequently actively stepping forward to participate in the attack, in order to equalize the score as soon as possible, or even reverse Ajax.

strangled Zidane, Guti's position was further back, Figo was limited by Abidal, Real Madrid's entire offensive system was suppressed by Ajax, and it seemed that he had the initiative, but there were not many opportunities to really threaten, on the other hand, Ajax, every counterattack can give Real Madrid's fragile defense a wake-up call, so that they don't get too carried away.

But when a team lacks unity and the offense and defense are torn apart, the contradictions between the players become great.

The attacking players in front don't care about the defensive problems behind them, and they don't care about the hidden dangers, they attack forward as soon as they get the ball, and it is not their responsibility to defend at all, and the offensive players go forward, what do the defenders do? If you don't follow up, the offense can't work at all, and with the strength of Ajax, once the ball is lost, the defender can't get into the defensive position as soon as possible, which will inevitably lead to Ajax pressing on it, and the defense must not be able to prevent it.

But if you follow, what about the gap behind you?

You must know that Hierro is 35 years old, speed is not good at all, Elgra itself is not a speed type, the combination of these two central defenders has a fatal weakness in chasing back and turning, once pressed up, after being beaten by the opponent, what should I do?

What's worse is that Robert Carlos is a left-back, but he looks more like a left winger, actively moving forward and not caring about the life and death of the defense behind you, so a lot of times, Real Madrid's defense looks more like four people.

Salgado, Hierro, Elgra and Makelele.

Ye Qiu obviously saw through this, he noticed that Robert Carlos likes to plug in and often runs away from his position, while Hierro and Elguera are slow, and Makelele is a standing position type of midfielder, so he immediately conveyed it to the players on the field, and counterattacked with a long pass to the right.

So, from the 30th minute onwards, Ajax played several counter-attacks on the right side, and Van der Vaart and McCone had frequent chances on this side, including a very threatening counter-attack, Van der Vaart cut inside on the right and shook Elgra and passed it straight to Ibrahimovic, who was inserted in the back.

After the Swede won the ball, on the one hand, he used his body to suppress Hierro, and on the other hand, he used his own skills to get past the attacking Casillas, but this time Ibrahimovic followed by the angle of the shot also disappeared, and was forced to pass back, but Makelele arrived in time to destroy the ball before Robben.

This attack that almost caused a goal made all Real Madrid fans tremble, and they even wondered how this was the first time that they had launched a counterattack from the right side, and why didn't the Real Madrid manager and players realize that they had to block the left side?

There is a good saying, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the boat was late and encountered a head wind.

It's not that Bosque doesn't want to do it, but his current situation is that once he wants to change, he will tear down the east wall and make up the west wall

All in all, there are no cards to play in your hand

But Ajax is like a hungry shark swimming in the sea, as soon as he smells blood, he will rush up and devour his opponent at all costs
