Volume 1 Chapter 141 Two-Footed General
After the second half restarted, after Ajax's kick-off, Hleb rushed directly down the left flank to Oye, and the Dutchman could not see the cowardice and cowardice of the first half in Hleb's eyes, but instead a thick anger.
He was a little strange, why did this kid seem to be angry?
This time Ajax's attack was still on the right side, but PSV Eindhoven was prepared for it, and before the ball was passed into the box, it was already controlled by the PSV Eindhoven backline, and Watrus rushed out of the small box and stopped the ball with his feet steadily.
With the ball skillfully dribbling at his feet, Watellus was clearly not ready to serve quickly, because Ajax pressed fiercely in midfield, and he was waiting for his team-mate to rush forward quickly, spreading the whole attacking formation, and then he was ready to go straight to Heselink.
But Ajax is clearly prepared for this, Lucio and Kivo, plus Gilberto? Silva, the defensive system quickly returned to position after the attack failed.
Seeing that there was no chance, Watrus passed the ball to Oye on the right in the spirit of not easily losing possession.
This is a kind of inertial thinking, because throughout the first half, PSV Eindhoven's left side was under great pressure, but on the right, Oye not only pressed Hleb steadily, but also was able to gallop to the middle anytime and anywhere, and seemed to be at ease.
Oye was on the left side of the penalty area, facing the goal to get the ball, he looked calm, but just as he was about to turn around, Wotrus was shocked and shouted a warning, "Watch out behind you!" ”
In the end, it is also a Dutch star, as soon as Oye got the warning from Waterlus, the body that had just turned around immediately turned back, with his back to Hleb who was pressing up from behind, facing the goal, and stubbornly carrying the Belarusian with his back to protect the ball.
Hleb obviously has an unreasonable nonsense, anyway, in the penalty area of Eindhoven, he doesn't care about 3721, anyway, he is already close to Oye's body, he directly entangles and presses him.
Oye was overwhelmed by Hleb and was forced to quickly pass the ball back to Watrus.
But at this time, Ibrahimovic had already realized the opportunity, and he had already pressed forward, and Watrus took the lead with a big foot to clear the ball, but in the center circle, Lucio overpowered Heselink, and his header put Watrus's long pass to McCone on the right.
Seeing that the ball was in Ajax's hands again, Oye turned his head and glared at Hleb viciously, but the Belarusian now looked furious, and there was a great sense of openness to fight you to death.
"Damn, did this kid take the wrong medicine? So ruthless? Oye scolded indignantly.
In the first half, Hleb was a soft persimmon, he could pinch it as much as he wanted, and he could step on it as much as he wanted, but he didn't expect that after the intermission, this kid seemed to have become a powder keg, and he exploded at one point.
Ajax's attack on the right was once again met with stubborn resistance from PSV Eindhoven, and after 45 minutes of the first half, PSV Eindhoven's defence had found the rhythm to suppress Ajax's attack on the right, which undoubtedly made them more comfortable and familiar in defending.
Ye Qiu saw that he had failed to open the situation after three or four attacks on the right side, so he walked to the sideline and headed towards Gilberto? Silva waved his hand, signaling him to remember what he had said at half-time, and to play more on the left side and not to cling to the right.
Soon, Eindhoven counterattacked just past the midfield, immediately cut off by Ajax, Abidal quickly dribbled forward along the left side, the French left-back offensive ability is not strong, but the physical fitness and speed are excellent, with the ball has a tiger momentum.
As soon as he crossed the centre circle and entered the 30-metre area of PSV Eindhoven, Abidal immediately slid the ball into the feet of Hleb on the left flank, and the Belarusian won the ball and rushed forward quickly.
Hleb's absolute speed is not too fast, Oye stood on the left line of the penalty area, followed Hleb, the Belarusian saw that he couldn't get rid of Oye, a sharp stop, the ball changed from the left foot to the right foot, but when he saw that Van Bommel had also run from the middle, he had formed a bag with Oyer.
Many people have not noticed one point, that is, Hleb is a very rare kind of player who can be very skilled in ball control and dribbling with both left and right feet, there are not many dribblers who can do this, Ye Qiu has a little impression that the later Russian Tsar Arshavin is also a two-foot player, as well as Spain's Cazorla, Argentina's Palacio.
The left and right foot dribblers definitely have an aura of bonus on the court, just like Hleb this time, he faced Oyer and Van Bommel in the bag, Van Bommel was particular about the position, he was targeting Hleb's right foot.
If you were to switch to another player with a weak right foot, even Robben, after shaking Oyer, the ball was on the right foot, and it was almost impossible to stop Van Bommel from breaking the ball, because Van Bommel was so experienced and had the timing just right, and he hardly gave you any chance.
But Hleb's right foot is the dominant foot, and his left foot is a weak foot, so when he realized that Van Bommel was coming to break the ball, he immediately adjusted his center of gravity, and his right foot flexibly pushed the ball to the front of him, and at the same time, he also deducted Van Bommel who lost his center of gravity because of his movements.
Relying on the skillful technique of the left and right feet, Hleb forced the ball to fight his way out of the bag of Oye and Van Bommel.
Out of the encirclement, Hleb did not continue to fight, nor did he take the initiative to score, because the Belarusian character is not the kind of character that actively scores, so he directly kicked a low cross after entering the penalty area.
Ibrahimovic in the middle was battling with Hovland with his body, and as soon as he saw Hleb passing, he immediately shook off the Dutchman, ran to the ball, and fired a volley directly with his left foot.
But it's a pity that Ibrahimovic, as a right-footed player, although his left foot is also okay, but the angle of this shot is not good, slightly off the bottom line of the goal, and missed a good opportunity to score.
Tens of thousands of Ajax fans at the Arena Stadium let out a sigh in unison, obviously regretting that the team could not score, but they all looked confident, because the team had a clear advantage from the first half to the present.
In this kind of game with obvious advantages, as long as Ajax does not make mistakes blindly, it is only a matter of time before they win the game.
Ibrahimovic felt a little regretful that he couldn't score, stretched out his hands and grabbed a handful of hair, wiped the sweat from his hair and forehead by the way, and when he walked back, he saw Hleb and gave a thumbs up to the Belarusian, saying that the ball was passed very beautifully, and it was his own reason not to score, and it had nothing to do with him.
Hleb looked at Eevee, didn't say anything, and ran back quickly.
PSV Eindhoven's goal kick was soon unleashed, Kiv battled with Brookingk, and then Lucio grabbed the second spot, which was headed to Yaya? Toure, the Ivorians knock back to Gilberto? Immediately after Silva, he ran into the open and raised his hand to ask for the ball again, and Gilberto? Silva also gradually figured out Yaya? Toure's habit of knocking the ball back.
Stopping, dribbling, Yaya? Toure faced Vogel and looked very confident and calm.
Heaven and earth are not afraid, this is the character of the Ivorian youngster, I saw him want to break through with the ball from the right side, and when he deceived Vogel to block, he stopped the ball urgently, dribbled the ball to the left side, and quickly shook off Voger.
Keita sees Yaya? Toure came over and immediately pulled out of position on the left, while left winger Hleb saw Van Bommel pulled past Keita and left his position on the left and ran quickly from the left to the middle.
Van Bommel and Oye were taken aback by Hleb's sudden move to the middle, Oye was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to follow or not, Van Bommel abandoned Keita as soon as possible and quickly returned to Hleb.
Yaya? Toure's pass came to Hleb's feet, Oye and Van Bommel were one behind and one on the side, but Hleb faced the incoming ball, stopped with his left foot, caught up and crossed sideways and right-footed diagonally behind Oye.
I saw Keita, who was abandoned by Van Bommel, rushed forward quickly from the left side when no one was marked, and slanted into the penalty area, in the left side of the arc, after winning the ball, he strode into the penalty area, and Faber wanted to go forward to block it for the first time, but Keita didn't wait for him to be close, picked up his left foot, and directly shot hard.
Watrus was solid in his position this time, and he formed a corner with Faber who stepped forward to intercept and block, which made him very confident, as long as Faber can get close to Keita and help him block a certain range of angles, Keita's shot will only hit his arms, not the net.
But he never thought that Keita had just entered the penalty area, and he didn't consider the distance, he just got up with his feet, and the strength was very strong, the ball was very fast, although he reacted, the ball had already passed by his side, and he didn't even have time to make a move.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!”
The astonishing long sound of the goal from the commentators at the stadium came from the stands of the Arena Stadium, where tens of thousands of Ajax fans left their seats to stand up and cheer for the team's goal, as well as the powerful arms in the stands that were raised above their heads.
"After 53 minutes of attacking and defending, Ajax finally opened the goal for PSV Eindhoven!"
"Is this from Mali in the middle of the road? Keita's low shot from behind in the box was a very fast shot, and PSV Eindhoven goalkeeper Watrus couldn't even make a save, so he could only watch Ajax score helplessly! ”
Seydoux? After Keita scored, he turned and rushed out of the penalty area, saw Hleb along the way, immediately pulled the Belarusian, picked him up tightly, rushed to the sidelines, and shouted loudly at the Ajax fans in the stands.
The Ajax fans were chanting Keita's name in unison to celebrate the goal-scorer!
'It was a very surprising goal, Hleb suddenly cut from the left to the middle, which was a big surprise to the PSV defenders, and he followed up with a straight run away from Oye, which showed us his excellent passing ability and delicate technical movements.
More and more Ajax players rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the goal with Keita, and everyone knew that after taking the lead, the situation of this game was completely different, and Ajax, who were already dominant, will now have an even more obvious advantage.
"In the first half, Ajax's left side played very badly, and Hleb looked very sluggish, but I didn't expect that after the halftime, Ajax's left side was playing more and more threatening, and Hleb was also in great shape, creating threats again and again, could it be that Ye Qiu exerted some magic on him at halftime?"
No one knows what happened in the locker room at halftime when Ajax was at halftime, this is the Arena Stadium, everything that happened here, no one will leak out, because everyone knows that what Ye Qiu hates most is that someone leaks what happened in the locker room to the outside world, and whoever leaks it will leave.
…………
…………
In Ye Qiu's eyes, Hleb and Robben are two different types of assaulters.
As long as people with a little professional knowledge should know that in the professional arena, there must be a certain explosive advantage, which is the basis of excellence, and those players who are at a disadvantage in explosiveness, even if his skills are good and excellent, they can't pass people.
But is it enough just to have speed?
Not enough, far from enough!
The principle of excellence is always the same, that is, to be faster than your opponents.
This sounds like the pursuit of speed, but it's wrong, because to be faster than the opponent, you don't necessarily have to be faster, or the opponent is slower than you, and the opponent's slowness reflects your speed, isn't this also passable?
Robben, Ronaldo and other players are actually the pursuit of speed, with the ability to combine the ball at high speed to pass the opponent, such a pass is very good-looking, but very dangerous, so they have a lot of injuries, and Barcelona's Messi also had a lot of injuries when he first debuted, because at that time he also relied on this way to pass.
There is also the Zidane-style, or the Giggs-style in the latter years of their careers, and both players belong to the kind of players who rely on tempo changes, rely on dribbling to confuse opponents, and trick opponents into losing their center of gravity, and then break through.
If the center of gravity is lost, it must be adjusted, and the adjustment will inevitably lead to the explosive power not being able to keep up, which will be slower than the breakthrough.
Ye Qiu is now focusing on Robben's rhythm changes, in which the step point and step distance are very important, but Hleb's sense of rhythm is very poor, but his dribbling ability is very skillful and fine, and Robben's speed is fast enough and explosive, and Hleb's speed is still not small compared to Robben's.
There is a way to be three years old and eighty, Hleb does not have an excellent speed advantage, and the sense of rhythm is not strong, only skills, which is almost certain that his career will be difficult to reach the ranks of top players, especially as an Eastern European player, once he is over 30 years old, his physical function will decline significantly, his explosiveness and foot frequency will deteriorate, and Hleb's strength will also be impaired.
And when he came to Ajax, the technique had already been finalized, if it had been a few years earlier, Ajax could have carved his sense of rhythm, but now, it's too late.
Regarding the positioning of Hleb and Robben, Ye Qiu felt that Robben's most threatening thing was in the counterattack battle from offense to defense, in the positional war, especially in this kind of positional battle that firmly suppressed the opponent, the effect was weakened a lot, but Hleb's delicate skills made him more able to exert his strength in this narrow range of positional warfare.
Therefore, after seeing Hleb's excellent performance, Ye Qiu adjusted the left side of the team, allowing Keita to interact with Hleb, giving Hleb more freedom, allowing him to cut from the left to the middle to receive and pass, and even plug in to attack.
Given more room to play, Hleb has become more at home on the left, especially after taking the lead, and has become almost the most liberal player in Ajax's midfield, and his ability to play as a team, thread and penetrate is also on full display in this environment.
In the 61st minute, the overwhelming Ajax launched another wave of attacks, Hleb instigated an attack on the left side, cut to the edge of the penalty area with the ball, and crossed to Yaya? Toure, who fired a through ball from the edge of the box, Ibrahimovic got past Nikiforov and fired a shot from a tight angle, but Watrus saved the ball.
In the 65th minute, Hleb picked up the ball on the left side of the PSV Eindhoven penalty area, and when Oye saw that he was about to be passed, he kicked down Hleb fiercely, and the referee was aware of it, gave a yellow card, and sent Oye, who already had a yellow card in the game, off the field.
PSV Eindhoven, who have lost one man, appears to be more passive.
In the 69th minute, Ibrahimovic received a long pass from Kifu, leaned on Fabel with his body, and knocked it back to Hleb who cut to the middle. Toure cut in quickly from outside the box and won the ball to attract the attention of Nikiforov and Bauma before knocking it back to Van der Meyde.
The Dutch right winger got the ball and rolled out a short and fast cross, Ibrahimovic pressed Faber in the middle of the penalty area, and the header broke through the goal of Watrus again, 2:0!
This goal almost completely condemned PSV Eindhoven's death sentence, and Gretz was completely desperate, especially when he saw that Ajax, who had one more man, did not slow down the offensive at all, and still launched a fierce attack on his own goal, he had to choose to give up and replace the defender to further strengthen the team's defense.
Ye Qiu began to take advantage of the victory to pursue, first replaced the more physical De Jong, Maduro and Huntelaar, to further strengthen the team's midfield attack, brought a huge threat to PSV Eindhoven's defense, forcing Gretz to give up counterattacks and counterattacks.
In the end, this much-anticipated match, after 90 minutes of hard play, ended with Ajax beating PSV Eindhoven 2-0.
The win also extended Ajax's lead over PSV Eindhoven to seven points, with PSV Eindhoven dropping to third in the league and Feyenoord replacing them in second place.
