Ajax's attacking approach comes down to just two options.

With Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the middle, Arjen Robben and Van der Vaart on the wings, Ajax's attack tends to start from the wings, using the wings to create width and pull the opposition's defence, and if the wings are blocked, they quickly turn back to the middle, with Arteta and Sneijder taking charge of the attack.

These two routines are very simple to say, but no one can prevent them.

A moment ago, you saw that Ajax was going to play on the wing, but when your defense also moved to the wing, they only needed to make a sudden shift, and the team's attack could move from the wing to the middle as quickly as possible, and catch you off guard.

And just when you think Ajax are going to focus on the middle, they suddenly make a diagonal pass that hits the width and depth of the flanks.

Sometimes offensive tactics are not about many, but about refinement.

Even if AC Milan's four No. 10 midfielders are better at the middle, they can still play the middle attack into a flower, Rui? The elegance and calmness of Costa's time will be remembered by countless Rossoneri fans.

Ajax's attacking routines may seem like only two, but they are very varied.

Ten minutes into the game, Manchester United's attack was as direct and rough as ever, and there were long passes, while Ajax tried hard to slow down the pace and carry out their possession tactics more smoothly, but the Eredivisie team did not intend to retreat at all, but stood in a position and counterattacked on the spot.

Both teams played unconservatively, and they were very open on the field, which made the offensive and defensive rhythm of the two sides change quickly in the game.

On the surface, Manchester United occupies a certain advantage, Ajax is a little passive, but also does not back down, the two sides are hard-to-face, the game seems to be very intense, every time Manchester United enters the Ajax penalty area, Ajax counterattacks, and then into the heart of Manchester United.

If it was in normal times, Ye Qiu might be more restrained, after all, such a tactic is too risky, but this time he doesn't have much pressure to qualify, with the change of coach of Leverkusen, the pressure to qualify has been greatly reduced, Ye Qiu also decided to take advantage of this rare opportunity to play a good game with Manchester United, and see if he really wants to play, where is the difference between Ajax and the top team.

Sometimes, when a team wants to go further, this clear self-positioning is necessary.

Therefore, even if Manchester United has created danger in several attacks, he did not ask the team to return to defense, but more to adjust and remind, but in the end, he kept asking the players to fight back, and fought with Manchester United to the end.

One of United's most threatening shots was David Beckham's direct free-kick, which was still Beckham's trademark moon cutlass and would have been a sensation if it had been lowered a little bit.

There was also a corner, also from Beckham's penalty, but Brown headed it high in front of goal.

Both attacks were very threatening, which shows Beckham's achievements in set-pieces, Ye Qiu specially asked Artetado to look at Beckham, but still allowed Beckham to find opportunities on the right side.

This time he crossed from the right at 45 degrees, and after the ball crossed a trajectory, it fell straight into the penalty area, and the landing point was also very sensitive, in the area where Van der Sar wanted to attack, but did not dare to attack.

Van Nistelrooy has already formed a good tacit understanding with Beckham, as soon as he saw Beckham's cross, he rushed over to seize the position as soon as possible, but this time Lucio blocked the Dutch center forward, although Van Nistelrooy stood in the most advantageous position, he was in a hurry, and when the ball fell, he hung an upside-down golden hook in advance to clear the ball.

This difficult clearance not only made the Ajax fans break out in a cold sweat, but also won their appreciation and cheers.

The ball flew short and Mascherano chested the ball off and slotted it to Arteta, where the Spaniard, facing Keane's aggressive pressing, got rid of it and quickly crossed diagonally to the left.

Robben won the ball and rushed forward quickly to face Gary on the left? Neville, Dutch Peter Pan did not hesitate at all, and directly stabbed the ball along the sideline to the bottom line, and the man quickly bypassed Gary? Neville, and then accelerate to catch up with the ball.

This beautiful pass immediately won the cheers of the Ajax fans near the touchline stands.

But Manchester United's return speed is also very fast, after Robben stopped the ball on the left side of the penalty area, Ferdinand has blocked the box for the first time, and Gary? Neville is also in the middle of a quick comeback.

After Robben stopped the ball, a feint failed to shake off Ferdinand, and directly headed the ball towards Gary? Neville knocked back behind him.

Arteta is still very fast now, after all, he belongs to the body of a typical Spanish player, small and fast, although the speed is not as fast as Robben, but he quickly caught up, in the face of Robben's knockback, he did not pause, touched the ball, and stuffed the ball behind Ferdinand, forming a two-one-one combination in the left corner of the penalty area.

Robben knocked back and quickly inserted into the penalty area, when Ferdinand turned around, Robben had already left him behind, won the ball in the penalty area, and in the face of Brown who threw off Ibrahimovic and rushed up, Robben accelerated down after a sharp stop, pulled out a position, and volleyed with his left foot.

When Robben shook off Ferdinand and entered the penalty area, Butters wanted to attack, but when the Frenchman saw Brown helping to defend, he suddenly stopped halfway through the attack and wanted to retreat, after all, there was already Brown, and it was useless for him to attack.

But Butters would never have imagined that Brown would be so easily thrown away by Robben with a stop, and then his volley made him unable to react, because his whole body was retreating, and he couldn't react, so he could only watch the ball pass past him and go straight to the bottom of the net.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！”

With the cheers of the on-site commentators, almost all the Ajax fans in the entire Arena Stadium rushed out of their positions, chanting Robben's name in unison.

It was a very beautiful team goal, from Lucio's inverted golden hook clearance, to Arteta's split, to Robben's man-to-man split, and then the one-two combination, Ajax's entire attacking combination was very fast, concise and clear, but sharp and deadly.

Watching Ajax's young talents rush to the sidelines one by one, celebrating Robben's goal to the cheers of tens of thousands of fans, the entire Arena Stadium is singing the praises of this group of players.

"Some people say that Ye Qiu's team plays very flexibly, when you give them possession, they have a set of play with possession, but when you put pressure on them and compete with them for the initiative, they also have a passive style of play, and both sets of play are very sharp."

"Many people think that Ajax's attack is very threatening, from just now, Mascherano passed the ball to Arteta, it was in the middle, after the side Luo himself divided, but to the left side of the penalty area, there was no chance, immediately knocked back, and it was to the middle to keep up with Arteta, from the middle to the side and back to the middle, the whole switch of Ajax went very smoothly."

'The purpose of the flanks was to open up the defence, create width and holes, and when Arteta got on the back, he slid it straight behind Rio Ferdinand, and Robben took advantage of that hole to deal a terrible blow to United.

"This is a typical Ajax attack, the perfect combination of wing and middle, making it difficult to guard!"

When the on-site commentator loudly praised Ajax for scoring a counterattack this time, Zahavi in the stands looked at Souness with a pig's liver color in a joking look, the latter just said that Manchester United must win, but Ajax scored immediately, and this face was also played too quickly, and I didn't know how to think that Ye Qiu heard them and did it on purpose.

Abramovich was excited to see it, applauding from there, clearly appreciating Ajax's attack.

"In the Premier League, it is rare to see this kind of fast ground coordination and advancement, even if Ajax plays defensive counterattacks, they play very well, it seems that this Ye Qiu is really strong!"

The more Abramovich boasted like this, the more embarrassed and depressed Souness became.

…………

…………

Finally scored a goal, Ajax did not take a retreat or a big press, the whole tactic seems to have returned to the opening stage, still the same, neither deliberately to pursue the initiative and possession, nor retreat.

On the contrary, Manchester United, after conceding the goal, the players were obviously a little impatient, Keane was frequently calling teammates on the field, Manchester United's counterattack came very violently, but this time, Manchester United's attack failed to play an effective threat, but Ajax in the 23rd minute, taking advantage of Manchester United's return pass error, Ibrahimovic cut off Brown's ball and entered the penalty area, but Brown chased closely and tripped him with his feet.

This was a very obvious penalty, but the referee from Sweden did not take care of his Swedish compatriots, but refused to blow for the penalty and signaled the game to continue, which immediately received Ibrahimovic's very dissatisfied protest, and kept chasing the referee, indicating that he was not faking a fall.

For this situation, Ye Qiu is also a little helpless, the other party is a giant, and he has just lost the ball, how can the referee give Ajax another penalty, that is not equivalent to stepping Manchester United into hell and making the game lose suspense in advance?

"Don't mind, don't take it personally, Zlatan, we're ahead, be generous!" Ye Qiu shouted unceremoniously on the sidelines, which suddenly made him glared at by the Manchester United players, and made Ferguson almost rush over to find him desperately.

This guy is talking as if Ajax is deliberately letting us?

Maybe it's a desire for revenge, or maybe it's the fact that the attack is becoming less and less threatening after conceding a goal, and the United players look a little impatient, the attack has lost its previous rhythm and is a bit chaotic, while Ajax continue their steady strategy.

McCone and Mascherano combined to cut Giggs out of the ball, and the Brazilian right-back quickly dribbled through the United midfield and threatened the United defence, drawing Silvestre in, while Van der Vaart cut inside with a quick empty run down the middle.

The ball passed from McConn's feet to Van der Vaart, who expertly stopped the ball with his left foot, and after being pressed by Keane, turned to protect the ball and knocked it back to Sneijder, who kept the ball and rubbed it straight away.

The ball went over Keane's head and into the United penalty area.

Ibrahimovic, who had been waiting for an opportunity in the big penalty area, quickly passed past Brown this time, raised his foot to unload the ball, and in the face of Brown who had caught up, the Swede made a flexible emergency stop to smash the ball, and the ball was dunked past Brown who was chasing back quickly, and after a trip with his left foot, he pulled out a position and hit a volley.

Butters was very depressed, because his vision was blocked by Brown this time, and when Ibrahimovic's shot came out, he was shocked to find that it was actually a near corner, or a ground ball, very fast, which made him unable to react, and watched the ball drill into the goal again, 2:0!

"How? Are you stumbling again? Pull again? Ibrahimovic stood still after the goal, clenching his fists loudly and shouting at Brown, looking like he wanted to avenge the frustration of not being awarded a penalty after being tripped just now.

Keane, the captain of Manchester United, chased after him from behind and pushed Ibrahimovich's chest hard, "Boy, don't be too arrogant, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind!" ”

The name of the villain is very loud in the Premier League, but it can't scare Ibrahimovic, the Swedes are about to rush up as soon as they are intimidated, but fortunately they are stopped by Van der Vaart, "Come on, come on, you come, don't be polite to me, I'm most afraid that people will be polite to me!" ”

Keane was also angry when he heard this, and was about to rush up to teach this guy a lesson, but Ferdinand quickly hugged the captain.

The referee quickly ran between the two and kept calling for both to calm down, and then gave Ibrahimovic and Keane a yellow card warning each, and Keane also missed the fourth round because of this yellow card.

The captain of Manchester United looked very unhappy and kept pointing at Ibrahimovic, as if to warn this arrogant Swedish boy, you fucking be careful, sooner or later you will feel better.

But Ibrahimovic is not a bad breed, after being intimidated by Keane, he raised his head arrogantly, turned around and snorted towards the grass, as if he was not afraid of him at all, that magical appearance really made Ye Qiu on the sidelines love and hate.

"No one can do anything about this kid!" Ye Qiu really had the urge to catch him down and beat him up, why did you provoke Kean for no reason? Don't you know that this guy is a notoriously evil guy?

You score a goal, so why bother to irritate people?

However, Ye Qiu was also depressed, if the penalty was accurate just now, it would not be 2:0 now, but 3:0.

Sometimes think about it, a small team is a small team, and the big stage of the Champions League is supported by a giant team. If the Champions League is played at the bottom of the game, and some small teams are playing, where will the sponsors be interested? UEFA is going crazy!

If Ye Qiu remembers correctly, the lowest income in the Champions League was the 2003/2004 season, when Porto played the final against Celtic, which should have been the least paid since the new century, because of the lack of charismatic stars and teams.

But it must be said that watching the drama is not afraid of big, Ajax fans sat in the stands, watching the two sides clash, but they excitedly shouted Ibrahimovic's name, booed Keane, and even shouted Ibrahimovic to beat the Irishman to death.

Ye Qiu listened to it with a waterfall sweat on his face, what kind of fans are this, they are so violent!

Ferguson also seems to have noticed a change in the mentality of the players, especially after 2-0 down, the players have become obviously agitated, the mistakes have increased, and Ajax's counter-attacking opportunities have increased, which has exposed the weakness of United's backline.

The conundrum in front of Ferguson is now clear, if you continue to play like this, you may concede more goals, and if you want to stabilize the situation, the most effective way is to retreat and organize the defense first.

Ferguson is a man who can bend and stretch, he can be hard when he should be hard, but he can also be soft when he should be soft.

At the sound of the order, Manchester United's three lines began to steadily retreat, began to adopt a more stable defensive tactics, and then completely relinquished the initiative, while Ajax gained more control.

Ye Qiu was also aware of Manchester United's concession, but he was not ready to press up, but called on the players on the sidelines to play more patiently, control the ball more, slow down the rhythm appropriately, and play more ball-control tactics, preferably to be able to crush Manchester United with ball control tactics.

The first half ended with a score of 2:0, Ajax's lead made the fans at the Arena feel very excited, but it made the Manchester United players depressed, especially when they walked into the players' tunnel, Manchester United's Keane and other players looked at the Ajax players angrily, and the scene was full of gunpowder.

Because he couldn't guess whether Ferguson's midfield would be adjusted, Ye Qiu didn't care about how Ferguson would play, he directly asked the team to launch a round of attack on Manchester United at the beginning of the second half, use the attack to suppress Manchester United, and completely break the idea of Manchester United's counterattack.

It turned out that when Ferguson did plan a comeback in the second half at halftime, they were unwilling to leave the Arena Stadium with a score of 0:2, so they actively planned a counterattack in the second half, but did not make substitutions.

At the beginning of the second half, Ajax's counterattack made Manchester United's counterattack unthreatening, but Beckham took advantage of a set-piece in front of the court in the 54th minute to help Ruud van Nistelrooy, who grabbed points in the penalty area, break through Ajax's goal and pulled back a goal for Manchester United.

This goal seemed to give Manchester United hope, but unexpectedly, only 1 minute later, Ajax launched an attack on the right side of the Macken broke through to the bottom line and knocked back, Van der Vaart cut inside with the ball on the right, shook off Brown, and gave a through ball to the feet of Ibrahimovic, the Swede leaned on Ferdinand with his body, and stopped the ball with his right foot and fired a direct volley.

The ball was like a bolt of lightning and hung into the bottom right corner of the goal, and Butters once again had no choice but to concede the goal.

3:1, Ajax opened the gap again!
