After Ajax eliminated Barcelona and reached the Champions League final, Ye Qiu held an internal tactical preparation meeting at De Tokmost, the focus of which was to allow the coaching staff and players to express their opinions on how to play Real Madrid.

Among them, Ye Qiu focused on asking the two Brazilian defenders in the team, Lucio and McConn, to talk about Ronaldo.

As Brazil internationals, Lucio and McCone are no strangers to Ronaldo, they are both well aware of Ronaldo's strength, perhaps after a few serious injuries, the returning Ronaldo is not as fast as in the past, but his lethality on the pitch is absolutely unquestionable.

"Although he is a striker, Ronaldo is different from other speed strikers in that he doesn't like to pull the side, he likes the middle and the ribs, because the middle is close to the goal, and he can form a shooting opportunity as soon as he goes up, so his most threatening thing is to break through the middle."

"But Ronaldo is very smart, the middle is the most densely defended area, he will not receive the ball next to the defensive line like other center forwards or strikers, the last thing he likes is to be close to people, the most hated is to be close to the defense, so he always looks for those areas where there are no defenders close to the area, and even retreats to receive the ball."

Lucio further explained the so-called retreat, if it is in the penalty area, that is, from the penalty spot to the top of the arc, the retreat is not deep, the distance is not long, but it is enough for Ronaldo to show his ability, especially the tenderness of his body, and the skill of his feet.

"If you don't stick to him in time and follow him to retreat, as long as you shoot a little slower, as soon as he catches the ball, it will be a series of feints, you can't tell which action is true and which action is fake, maybe he himself can't tell the difference, but the frequency is very fast, the action can almost be said to dazzle you, and there is only one purpose, so that you lose your center of gravity."

"Many people say that Ronaldo's speed is very fast, that is the past, Ronaldo was very fast in the early years, but the feints are not as much as now, the current Ronaldo is slow, but there are a lot of feints, he can directly start to break through you at the moment you lose your center of gravity, you will feel that he is actually not too fast, but you lose your center of gravity, there is no way to chase him, you can only watch him give you over"

In the end, Lucio gave his opinion, that is, to defend Ronaldo, you must have a direct close fight with him, but there must be a player who drags back for in-depth defense, in case it is broken through, there can still be a line of defense, but the distance is also very particular.

"The distance of the co-defense can not be too long, if it is long, the co-defense is meaningless, Ronaldo's flexible movements can continue to pass the co-defender, and it is not good if it is short, and he will block himself, so the co-defense must be considered according to the speed, flexibility, and comprehensive ability of the decisive and reactive at the critical moment."

It should be said that Ye Qiu fully considered Lucio's series of proposals, and in this game, Ye Qiu focused on arranging Yaya Toure and Mascherano two backs, and also made a clear request, that is, at least one back at all times to protect the central defender.

The position of the two central defenders is not much the same as usual, considering that Real Madrid plays a single striker, Lucio's position is on the top, Ye Qiu gave him enough freedom to keep an eye on Ronaldo anytime and anywhere, once Real Madrid's ball road advanced to the 30-meter area, Sneijder retreated to look at Raul, and a back came back to form a pinch attack with Lucio, and Kifu dragged back to help defend and protect.

In this way, the defense of the entire middle has depth, and it also makes it difficult for Real Madrid's pass to pass into this area, because whether it is Raul or Ronaldo, don't want to hold the ball easily, almost as soon as they receive the ball, someone immediately gets close, and there is not one person around, but three or four people to form an effective depth defense, forcing them to pass the ball out.

Zinedine Zidane on the left was pinched by McCone and Mascherano, Figo on the right allowed Abidal to focus on the defense, and the Frenchman was more important to block Figo's inward cut, which made it difficult for the attacking means of the horse to be effectively deployed, and it was a stalemate as soon as he entered the 30-meter area.

The situation could not be opened in front, and Guti, Robert Carlos, and Salgado frequently actively stepped forward to participate in the attack.

This is also Real Madrid's best method, using offense to suppress the opponent, coupled with the tearing of offense and defense, so that many players lack the sense of return defense and on-the-spot counter-robbery, so it frequently causes Ajax's sharp counterattacks.

Sometimes, you don't need to invest a lot of troops, or even just one is enough.

It's like this time, Real Madrid passed the ball to Raul, Yaya Toure was close for the first time, Raul passed to Ronaldo, and behind the Brazilian stood Lucio, who kept pestering Ronaldo, waiting for the opportunity to get his feet.

Ronaldo took the ball and was about to take it and turn away from Lucio, only to find Yaya Toure and Kifu trapping him at the same time.

One against three, no matter how good Ronaldo is, he still can't take the ball out, Lucio pokes it with his foot, Yaya Toure sends it forward, and Sneijder, who is back to defense, runs over quickly, and without waiting for the ball to stop at his feet, he directly picks up his right foot and rubs out an overhead diagonal pass.

The ball was fast and had a strong spin that could go over Elgra's head and into the area to the right behind him.

At this moment, Real Madrid's defense is too high, in order to maintain an effective connection with the midfield, they pressed a lot, revealing a large gap behind them, and Robert Carlos was simply not in his position, Van der Vaart quickly sprinted forward, using his speed to sweep past Elgra, forming an anti-offside position.

The Ajax fans in the stands were already excitedly rushing out of their seats, raising their hands high in the air, ready to meet the one-on-one goal from Van der Vaart.

Van der Vaart and Casillas were one-on-one, the Dutch advanced quickly, Casillas was forced to attack, wanting to block Van der Vaart's shooting angle in advance, but the Dutchman reacted quickly, directly to his left side of the ball, directly deducted the attacking Casillas, and his left foot did not drag the mud and water, and directly poked the ball forward.

Although this stab made Van der Vaart lose his center of gravity and fall to the ground, the ball went straight to the goal from Casillas's side.

Hierro and Elguera are chasing back, Salgado is also desperately rushing back, Robert Carlos, Ronaldo, Zidane and other attacking superstars in the front court, one by one, are standing in front, just looking at this ball, as if it was being pulled in a straight line, crossed the goal line, and drilled into the goal.

German referee Merck did not hesitate to blow the whistle for the goal, and at this moment, the entire Old Trafford stadium was completely transformed into a stage for Ajax people to celebrate, all the fans rushed to the edge of the stands, cheering wildly at the players off the pitch, and the players on the pitch rushed to Van der Vaart one by one.

This is Ajax's counterattack, not asking for many people, only quality

"It's just 37 minutes and Ajax have a 0 lead, which is really amazing"

"It's not the first time that Ajax has counterattacked from the right, but Real Madrid obviously has no desire to strengthen their defense on the left side, Robert Carlos is still pushing forward again and again, and the defense of the entire left half is almost not the slightest bit organized, and Ajax is always easy to play an effective threat on their right side."

Real Madrid's left half was Zinedine Zidane, Guti and Roberto Carlos, which was also the most dangerous side of Real Madrid's attack, but it was also the direction of Ajax's main counter-attack.

"We have just said that Ajax's counterattack is very threatening, Real Madrid did not give a hole on the left side in time, sooner or later it will suffer a big loss, look, just a few minutes later, Ajax seized a chance and the ball went in."

"And this counterattack almost didn't put in excess troops, just one Van der Vaart, you don't need many people, as long as one person succeeds in anti-offside and forms a threat, you're finished, now two goals behind, it's even more difficult for Real Madrid to play."

The comments of the on-site commentators sounded more like complaints about Real Madrid, because many things were actually very obvious, but they did not form an effective sense of worry, they were too blind and careless, and they played very fragmented, lacking a cohesive wholeness.

Ajax, on the other hand, is very overall and orderly, from the opening attack, everyone pressed on it, forming a suppression and threat, after the goal, everyone retreated in unison, solid defense, counterattack, and when defending, the three lines always remained compact, orderly, maintained enough contact and echo, and used the overall defense to counter the superstar's individual play.

"Now for Real Madrid, the most important thing is to stabilize the position first, with their attacking power, it is not impossible to catch up with the ball behind, but the most important thing is to stabilize first, after all, they completely overwhelm Ajax in strength."

But as soon as the on-site commentator finished speaking, he saw that after the restart, Ye Qiu waved his hand, and Ajax actually reversed the previous steady counterattack, and even began to directly press and attack again

"Football games, pay attention to one slow and one urgent, one slow and one fast, the opponent is strong, we have to defend first, the opponent's offensive rest, we have to dare to attack, so as Ferguson said, football games are a bit like a turn-based game."

In the stands at Old Trafford, Pini Zahavi sat with Abramovic in the VIpR VIP box to watch the world-renowned Champions League final, and to their surprise, Ajax, who had not been favored before the game, took the lead in half an hour.

I believe that not only them, but the whole world was shocked

"This Ye Qiu is bold enough, careful enough, very good" Abramovich felt that Ye Qiu was very temperamental.

Perhaps, from the moment Ye Qiu dared to shout that he wanted to create a new giant, he felt that Ye Qiu was his ideal candidate for head coach, Pini Zahavi introduced Ferguson, but the latter preferred to stay at Manchester United, and from the current point of view, the possibility of Abramovich buying Manchester United is almost zero.

"But, you know, it's usually people like him who are tough too," reminds Pini Zahavi.

He was one of Ferguson's close friends, and of course he knew what kind of person Ferguson was.

In fact, people who can achieve great results in football, whether they are managers or players, need to have their own personality, and even zoom in to all fields, and it is difficult for people who lack personality to get ahead.

"Normal, too impersonal people, dare to press Real Madrid on such occasions?" Abramovich pointed to the pitch, where Ajax once again sounded the horn of the comeback and smiled at the scene of Real Madrid's fierce attack.

"I heard another piece of news." Pini Zahavi thought about it for a moment and decided to say it.

After getting Abramovich's nod, he continued: "Frank Arneson and Ye Qiu are mortal enemies"

As soon as these words came out, Abramovich was stunned, these two people were very important to him.

This is also his habit all along, to enter any industry, he must first understand the rules of the industry.

To build a giant team, results and youth training are essential, as Pini Zahavi said, the former represents the present, the latter represents the future, so Ye Qiu and Arneson are two people that Abramovich values very much, and there is also another one, Peter Kenyon, a business wizard from Manchester United.

These three men are the troika on which Abramovich has high hopes, but if two of the horses are at odds, it will be troublesome, which is what Abramovich does not want to see.

"The two are deeply contradictory?" Abramovich frowned.

"Very deep, Ye Qiu even once ridiculed Frank Arneson in front of the fans in public, and the latter has been squeezed embarrassed by the Ajax led by Ye Qiu over the years, once Eindhoven was rumored to poach Ye Qiu, Arneson swore in public that Ye Qiu would resign when he came and would never work with Ye Qiu."

Pini Zahavi is helpless about this, after all, both are successful people, both have their own tempers, and one represents Eindhoven and the other represents Ajax, so it is natural for them to be mortal enemies of each other.

"I have one more thing to remind you" Pini Zahavi decided to say more, "Ye Qiu is very close to Barcelona, and it is revealed that Cruyff and Michels have personally lobbied Ye Qiu, hoping that he will switch to Barcelona, and I believe that after this game, for Barcelona, which is eager to overthrow the Real Madrid dynasty, Ye Qiu's pursuit will be more urgent." ”

There is a saying in today's football world that Barcelona only has Real Madrid in its eyes, and Real Madrid has the whole world in its eyes.

As the standard for Barcelona's selection of coaches, being able to beat Real Madrid in the Champions League final is undoubtedly a very heavy capital.

"In addition, I heard that Real Madrid is also going to change the coach this summer, and there is news from people close to Florentino, Florentino has already given a request, Ye Qiu is the superstar that Real Madrid will introduce this summer"

Hearing this, Abramovich had a terrible headache, and couldn't help but sit back in his seat, with a strange expression, "The two top giants are eyeing him, does he have such a big ability?" And so young" After speaking, he shook his head in confusion.

Pini Zahavi shrugged his shoulders, "Some people say he's a wizard, some people say he's a genius, in short, now he's a big phenomenon in football, you look at this group of Ajax players, the average age is more than l years old, but he has been trained enough to dominate the entire European football world, invincible, do you think, this is a feat that anyone can accomplish?" ”

He actually has some things he didn't say, for example, the teams that are interested in Ye Qiu are not only Real Madrid and Barcelona, but also Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, Liverpool in the Premier League, Inter Milan in Serie A, and even news that AC Milan also wants to change the coach.

It's no wonder that this season's giants have lost too badly, miserable, changing the coach is the most effective change that many giants owners can make, anyway, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, the team's performance is terrible, the first thing is to change the coach.

To a certain extent, today's football is a world where famous coaches are scarce.

You must know that the so-called famous coach must not only have good grades, but also have enough influence and media attention.

In La Liga, Bosque is considered a famous coach, Heathfield in the Bundesliga, and Serie A have the most famous coaches, Lippi, Capello, Cooper, Ancelotti is barely counted, the Premier League is Ferguson and Wenger, Houllier and Ranieri are still close for the time being.

After these famous coaches, among the managers that have emerged in recent years, Valencia's Benitez has won a La Liga title, which is also very good, but this season's Champions League has deducted him points, Ancelotti's four 10 midfielders are artistic, but he has not really proven himself, even at Juventus.

The most powerful in the limelight is Ajax's Ye Qiu, whose results are stable and improving year by year, and the team has reached the Champions League semi-finals in a row, and now he has also entered the Champions League final.

As for Jose Mourinho, who has just won the treble in Portugal, he has just reached the height of Ye Qiu three years ago, and for the time being, in European football, he can only barely step into the ranks of second-rate coaches, and he is not first-class, or even a famous coach.

Famous coaches are scarce, coupled with Ye Qiu's pleasing style of play, everyone likes offensive football, even fans are keen on offensive football, otherwise, why is it in Serie A with rigorous tactics, when Ancelotti put out 4 10 midfielders, all Serie A fans are amazed and happy?

All of this has made Ye Qiu a scarce commodity in today's football, especially if he can beat Real Madrid in this game, it will inevitably further increase his influence and even truly enter the ranks of European famous coaches.

After listening to Pini Zahavi's words, Abramovich fell into deep thought.

Compared to these giants, he and the Chelsea team he just bought did not have the slightest leverage, and the only thing he could get was that he had enough money to support Ye Qiu to form a strong team.

Is it great to be rich? Barcelona and Real Madrid are equally rich

Just when Abramovich was feeling depressed, on the pitch, just before the end of the first half, Ajax scored again
