I forgot which scholar and expert said that society is the teacher with the best talents.

In the same way, on the football field, the game is the best teacher for the players.

Killed two powerful opponents in a row, especially in the Dutch Cup defeated the Eredivisie Eagles, which brought a huge boost to the morale of the second team, especially this group of boys are full of fighting spirit, even on the training ground, the implementation of training, it is a tiger.

Only Abidal is the only one, this French kid doesn't seem to be in good spirits, although Ye Qiu promised to continue to let him play and start, but he still looks sluggish.

But Ye Qiu didn't have the energy to pay attention to him anymore at this moment, because he was now full of headaches.

The draw for the round of 16 of the Dutch Cup was drawn to PSV Eindhoven, how will this game be played?

What team is PSV Eindhoven?

The only team in the Eredivisie to be unbeaten this season, averaging a goal average of 3 per game. 088, the number of goals conceded so far in 12 league games is 4, and in the European group stage, it can compete with Bayern Munich, Valencia and other top European teams.

Not to mention the second team of Ajax, even if it is the first team, when it encounters Eindhoven, it is estimated that it will have to hold its tail!

"I'll it, how do you play this kind of game?" Ye Qiu looked full of sorrow.

Finally waited until the training was over, Ye Qiu relayed the news to Roland and Ricklink, and these two guys immediately acted as if they had killed their little wives, and almost didn't hang themselves.

Three big men are gathered in Ye Qiu's office, you look at me, I look at you, it's all right.

"I'm going to go out and relax!" Ye Qiu didn't like the atmosphere here, so he turned around and left.

Detokmoste didn't say much, walked around, and then went to the medical department.

"Wow, did you see it, Dr. Huang is so beautiful!"

"Yes, compared to her, those female stars don't even deserve to lift her shoes!"

"I said, did you deliberately pretend to be sick to see her?"

"Phew, aren't you too?"

As soon as he arrived at the corner, Ye Qiu heard someone talking in the distance, needless to say, it must be a group of color embryos.

Walking into the medical department, Ye Qiu saw that Fan Dude and Huang Chu were busy, and there was a gray-haired old man sitting on the sofa in the hospitality area of the office, a little fat, but his face was very ruddy, and it looked like he should be in his sixties.

"Hello, Mr. Harms!" Ye Qiu walked over and sat down opposite the old man.

"Hello, Ye Qiu!" The old Dutchman looked up and greeted him with a smile.

The person in front of you is called Bobby? Harms, an old man who has dedicated his life to Ajax.

He was an Ajax player as a younger, and after retiring as a youth team coach at Ajax, he worked his way up to the first team as an assistant coach, and he also has a nickname within Ajax, which is Super Bobby.

The reason why he is described like this is because no matter how the manager of Ajax changes, he will always be an assistant coach, and many people have even said that Van Gaal can successfully take charge of Ajax for the second time and win a relaxed environment, because his assistant is the Bobby in front of him? Harms.

However, Ye Qiu had met Harms a few times here in Van Dude, and he didn't think there was anything special about this kind old man.

"What? Do you seem to have something on your mind? "Bobby? Harms is a human spirit, and he can see Ye Qiu's thoughts at a glance.

"Worried about the game against PSV Eindhoven?"

"Do you know the way?" Ye Qiu was a little surprised, he had only heard it from Van Praag before the training session.

Harms smiled, "It's not a secret, but ......" deliberately paused and looked at Ye Qiu, "Everyone is not optimistic about you, I heard that after the draw ended, the bookmaker opened the handicap for Eindhoven to concede two goals!" ”

"I'll you, as for me?" Ye Qiu shook his head, he really couldn't help it.

"I don't gamble, otherwise, I will definitely ...... it" Seeing Ye Qiu's eyes paying attention, the Dutchman Ha Lu Ha Da smiled, "I must vote for Eindhoven, people will win!" ”

"Who says it's a win?" Ye Qiu glanced at him angrily, "I don't believe it, the game hasn't been fought yet, he won a fart!" ”

"And you were still discouraged just now?" Bobby? Harms asked with a smile.

Ye Qiu was very similar to arguing, but finally gave up, "I'm human nature, but it doesn't mean that I will admit defeat!" ”

Bobby? Harms nodded, "So how are you going to fight?" ”

From the third round to the fourth round, there was an interval of a month, which is not long, not short, and Ye Qiu still has a game to play in the Youth League, so there is not much time for real preparation.

"I don't have an idea yet, but our Chinese Sun Tzu has a cloud of the art of war, knows himself and the enemy, and is invincible in a hundred battles, I still have to understand Eindhoven first!" Ye Qiu's first thought was Fanny.

The goal rate is too high, 15 goals in 12 league games, I can take it, it's a goal machine.

"Actually, you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself, you know, sometimes the more this kind of game that everyone thinks is lost, the more likely the opponent is to be careless, and the disadvantaged side has a better chance of upset, so you still have hope, it's just a little slim!"

Ye Qiu's shoulder was patted twice by Harms, and he raised his head to look at the old man, "Are you comforting or falling into the well?" ”

"I mean the facts!" Hams laughed.

Ye Qiu had nothing to do with him, so he could only let him.

"In my opinion, you still have to fight a defensive counterattack, or even a dead counterattack!" Ye Qiu thought about it for a while, and felt that there was really not much chance to take the initiative to attack, not to mention that Eindhoven's three lines were all strong and talented, let's just say that the attack of this team, with the strength of Ajax's second team, was estimated to be shot as soon as he emerged.

'It's not good to hold on, PSV Eindhoven are a big threat in midfield, especially Van Bommel and Volger!' Harms reminded.

Ye Qiu also felt that this was the really difficult place, because they had many attack points, and the threat of attack was too great.

"Oh, by the way, your first team looks like they're going to run into PSV Eindhoven too, right?" Ye Qiu thought of the schedule.

Harms nodded, but didn't say anything, obviously not willing to discuss the upcoming blockbuster game between the first team and PSV Eindhoven, but now there are many people who feel that Ajax has what it takes to challenge PSV Eindhoven.

"You can figure it out yourself, but I can tell you that every team, no matter how strong he is, he will definitely have loopholes and dead ends, the key is whether you have the ability to find out his loopholes and dead ends, and use them!"

Ye Qiu nodded towards Harms, who left directly.

He and Van Doud are both former stars and staff members who have been with Ajax for many years, so the two are close friends.

"I'm gone, too!" After Harms left, Ye Qiu also left.

Huang Chu had just stopped and was about to walk over to say a few words to Ye Qiu, but he ushered in the back of Ye Qiu's departure.

Van Dude said just now that this was a game that was bound to lose in the eyes of everyone, so she could somewhat understand how depressed Ye Qiu's mood was at this moment.

But she couldn't help him, so she could only sigh softly.

…………

…………

Lying in his room, Ye Qiu browsed and searched around in the store of the godfather cultivation system.

He has already decided to defend this game with PSV, but how to keep it, this is particular.

In his memory, the best defense is of course the team in Serie A, but the problem is that the classic game reviews and tactical analysis of Serie A listed in the store are all on the premise of similar strength, or close, at least the lower Serie A to the upper Serie A level.

Later, he found the 2010 match where Mourinho led Inter Milan to meet Louis van Gaal's Bayern Munich in the Champions League final, but he also felt that it was not suitable, strictly speaking, it was a match of equal strength to some extent, but Mourinho took the defensive.

As for the match between Inter Milan and Barcelona, PSV Eindhoven is not a ball-possession team like Barcelona at all, and Inter Milan's tactics are aimed at Barcelona's setup.

To put it simply, the real threat of Barcelona's 433 is the possession of the ball in front of the 30-meter area, and Inter Milan is making a fuss about this, but PSV Eindhoven does not have so much ball control and threat, and it is useless to continue to use Inter Milan's set, but it may lose even worse.

There are not many precedents in the history of European leagues to challenge the quasi-champion team with a second team, right?

Ye Qiu specially mobilized some video footage and materials of this season's PSV Eindhoven from the Ajax archives, and he felt that the current PSV Eindhoven team was really balanced, and it could almost be said that there were no too obvious loopholes.

For example, they have three strikers up front, not to mention Ruud van Nistelrooy, Nihlis is the former top scorer in the Netherlands, and Brookingke is also very capable of scoring, and these three players form an effective rotation to ensure that PSV Eindhoven can remain competitive on multiple fronts.

Van Bommel in the middle of the midfield and Voger, the midfielder was brought in by AC Milan in the summer of 2005 for his impressive performances at PSV Eindhoven, but it is not difficult to see how good this player is and how creative he is in the PSV midfield.

If PSV Eindhoven's midfield is very strong in the middle, then PSV Eindhoven's wings are placed in the Eredivisie, which is definitely the devil's wings, Kolka and Romedahl, two players with excellent speed, one is good at one-on-one breakthroughs, the other is good at finding opportunities to cut into the penalty area, one left and one right, which is terrifying.

There are famous players such as Heintze, Nikiforov, Faber, Van der Weyden, Oye, and Bouma in the backline, and the defensive strength is undoubted, plus Wattrus on the goal line, Eindhoven's squad is definitely the strongest in the Netherlands.

In Ye Qiu's view, against a powerful opponent like PSV Eindhoven, Ajax cannot compete in terms of strength, morale, confidence, etc., and the only bargaining chip that can be taken can only be made from the tactical level.

After all, PSV Eindhoven is the most powerful contender for the Eredivisie title, while Ajax II is regarded as a weak team that is bound to lose.

This is also the reason why Ye Qiu is looking around to strengthen the defensive formation, only by stabilizing the defense can he have a chance to fight.

But looking around the store, I couldn't find anything that could help.

Just when Ye Qiu was a little disheartened, he suddenly saw a book.

More than just myths!

The subtitle is: On the defense of Euro 2004 champion Greece!

The appearance of this book made Ye Qiu's eyes light up.

People are always very forgetful, although Ye Qiu has watched the game for many years, but for a while he wants to think of the specific situation of that game in 2004, he really can't say, but when he sees this book, he has an impression.

In the 2004 European Championship, the Greek team led by Rehhagel went all the way to the end and became the blackest dark horse in the history of the European Championship, losing the host Portugal twice, drawing with Spain and the Czech Republic, and beating France by one goal.

It can be said that in that European Cup, Greece's performance was a typical miracle of defeating the strong with the weak, not only that, but the overall defensive concept presented by the Greek team in this European Cup has profoundly influenced countless professional head coaches.

Rehhagel's team met France, Portugal, and Spain, and they were also at an all-round disadvantage and disadvantage, but they relied on their tenacity and integrity to build the team into a monolith, so that the opponent had no way to start.

This is also very much in line with Ye Qiu's situation now!

If you want to play a team like PSV Eindhoven, you have only one choice, and that is to minimize your mistakes as much as possible, and then wait for the opponent to make mistakes, otherwise you will never have a chance!

"Otto the Great, it's up to you!" Ye Qiu decided to give it a go.

Directly spent 10 reward points to buy Rehhagel's book, which not only contains Rehhagel's own construction of the overall football, defensive system and counter-attack system, but also his analysis of the gains and losses of each game after he coached the Greek team, and the summary and comments of each process.

It can be said that Ye Qiu is not a loss to buy these with 10 reward points, the most important thing is to be able to fully digest the things in this book, otherwise, it will be useless at all.

So, in the next few days, in addition to presiding over the team's training, Ye Qiu spent the rest of the day and night studying Rehhagel's masterpiece, studying it very carefully and seriously, and when he encountered something he didn't understand, he either discussed it with Rick Link and Roland, or he went to read the relevant books by himself, and he must get it until he understands.

Huang Chu saw Ye Qiu working so hard, and he also knew that he couldn't help much, but he prepared three meals a day for him, so that he had no worries and devoted himself to the preparation of this game.

Time passed day by day, very quickly.

Ye Qiu's second team won Nijmegen II and the Advancing Eagles successively, and their morale was like a rainbow, and they won three more victories in a row in the Youth League, winning four consecutive victories, shortening the point gap between themselves and the leaders to 4 points, and the league ranking was also improved to 3rd, and finally saw the hope of winning the championship again.

But compared to the morale of the second team led by Ye Qiu, who won the battle in a row, Waters' first team encountered trouble.

After two weeks of national team matches, in the 13th round of the Eredivisie, Ajax hosted Roda JC, Ajax was too big at home, Waters' team seemed to want to swallow Roda JC directly in one go, but it didn't expect that Roda JC, who was away from home, was not far behind, and as soon as it came up, it was caught off guard by beating Ajax with the main attack.

In just 25 minutes of the opening game, Roda JC completely stunned Ajax with two goals.

Although after that, Waters actively adjusted the team, and even went to Brian in one go? The four forwards of Laudrup, Glen Schal, Mahlaas and Aviradze tried to turn the situation around, but in the end they still lost 1:2 at the Arena Stadium, gradually widening the gap with PSV Eindhoven in front.

Waters explained the game as an accident, believing that the national team match had seriously affected Ajax's line-up, which was the main reason why he lost the game, but he felt that it was just an accident and there would be no next time.

But before Waters could speak out, a week later, the first team travelled to AZ Alkmaar.

Mahras' first-half goal gave Ajax the lead, but after the second half, AZ Alkmaar counter-attacked and frequently played effective attacks, causing a lot of problems for Ajax's defence.

With the defence in jeopardy, Waters did not make the necessary adjustments, but was eager to win, wanting to take advantage of Alkmaar's mentality, taking the opponent by surprise, and choosing to continue to strengthen the attack when making substitutions.

The problems in defence were then fully exposed, as two mistakes by Romanian centre-back Kivu allowed AZ Alkmaar to score twice in quick succession and successfully overturn Ajax at home to a hard-fought 2-1 victory.

After two consecutive defeats, Ajax quickly slipped to 5th place.

Meanwhile, in the UEFA Cup, Ajax reached the round of 32 of the UEFA Cup after skipping Bistrika in the Slovak League and Workers Haifa in the Israeli League, but suffered two defeats of 0:1 and 0:2 in the two-legged match against Real Mallorca.

Ajax fans across Amsterdam are furious, and they all need Waters to explain their last few consecutive defeats.

Waters also gave a plausible explanation the next day, which was to send Romanian centre-back Kifu, who had made a few mistakes in the game, to the youth team, explaining that he was in poor form and should go to the youth team to make adjustments.

However, as everyone including the first-team players knows, the 19-year-old Romanian centre-back has become the scapegoat for Waters and the first-team players are starting to put themselves at risk, who will be the next scapegoat?

Many Dutch newspapers have also condemned Waters for his actions, and even the Amsterdam Evening Post feels that if Waters cannot win the first game against PSV Eindhoven in December, or prevent the team's two-game losing streak, then he will leave the Ajax manager's position.

In response to the outside commentary, chairman Van Praag stood up to support the manager, saying that the team will continue to support Waters and he will continue to trust Waters.

But how many people believe in such a scene?
