Looking back on Qin Xiong's performance in the past two months, the teammates of the Ajax first team, especially the main players with a solid position, are still extremely happy in their hearts.
That means that the overall strength of their team has improved, and modern football has higher and higher requirements for team strength, whether it is a star or a superstar, if they are ambitious for the championship honor, they will naturally put the team strength first.
Ajax's improvement after Koeman's tactical reform is obvious to all, which has led to a better atmosphere in the squad, healthy competition and a positive mentality.
On the weekend, Feyenoord travelled to the Amsterdam Sports Arena.
Because of the European competition, Koeman took the game seriously, but told his players to try to win the opponent in a "smart" way.
But when Koeman says 'smart' ways to play in the dressing room or in the pre-match preparation meeting, the players know what they want.
To put it bluntly, Coman has only tactfully kept the team from injury and physical exhaustion.
The so-called cleverness is to reduce the enthusiasm of the attack, focus more on control, patiently look for opportunities, and reduce the number of risks.
On the last day of November, the cold wind was bleak.
Van Marwijk led Feyenoord to Amsterdam for a tough match.
Feyenoord FC is now under the helm of President Henrik in dark times!
The chairman has to take care of everything, so the middle management of the club has become a toothless tiger, and the tyrant chairman is not necessarily very insightful, many decisions from top to bottom are mistakes, and the club is in chaos.
Feyenoord is the third largest club in the Netherlands, but in recent years, it has not been taken seriously by PSV Eindhoven and Ajax, because the opponent always loses the chain, or because of competition, or because of management, a club that is not managed in a systematic way is not to be feared.
Although Feyenoord also has some good players, Dutch rookies, but compared to the star-studded Ajax, they are of course much inferior.
When entering the stadium with his teammates, Qin Xiong unexpectedly noticed a small group of fans with Asian faces in the stands, who pulled out banners and raised them to show the stadium, they were all wearing Ajax jerseys, No. 28 jerseys, jerseys representing Qin Xiong's number.
On the banner, three Chinese characters were written.
Chinese Male!
They were obviously from within China, not Chinese living in the Netherlands, as Qin Xiong's instincts at the moment he saw them.
Half a month ago, there were many Chinese fans who would cheer for Qin Xiong in the stands, and now, there are fans who have come to the Netherlands from their motherland to cheer for him on the spot, although the number is not much, it seems that there are only a dozen people in that group, but Qin Xiong has been used to seeing Europeans in the past three months, and his heart is warmly moved.
After being moved, the spirit is lifted!
An invisible encouragement arises from the bottom of my heart.
It made him energetic and stronger.
"The thirteenth round of the Dutch Bundes-Bundesliga is about to begin, with league leaders Ajax hosting Feyenoord and continuing their Champions League squad with no changes after a thrilling comeback in the Champions League in midweek.
Ajax started 433.
Goalkeeper: Lobonte.
Defenders: Grigra, Heitinga, Escude, Maxwell.
Midfielders: De Jong, Qin Xiong, Pinal.
Forwards: Van der Vaart, Ibrahimovic, Sneijder.
Although Feyenoord has maintained the threat of the league title all year round, they always give the impression that they are slowly withdrawing from the championship war, 7 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, in the first 12 rounds, Feyenoord got 24 points, but compared with Ajax's 11-1 record, they have a huge gap of 9 points from the leaders! If Feyenoord are to keep their title form, then a win would be the best, closing the gap, but not losing could be a more realistic outcome, after all, this is Amsterdam, Ajax's turf.
Let's take a look at Van Marwijk's formation, it seems that he is still ambitious for the game.
Feyenoord started 433.
Goalkeeper: Zottbier.
Defenders: Gian, Wardern, Cologne, Jean.
Midfielders: Bao Wei, Song Jong Kook, Shinji Ono.
Forwards: Lazovic, Kuyt, Robin van Persie.
The game is about to start, and it is worth mentioning that there are a total of three players from Asia in the starting line-up of both sides, so you will see a lot of fans with Asian faces in the stands. ”
Maybe the ratings for this game will be high in Asia.
Japan, South Korea, China, on the battlefield of the orange land, brought together players from these three countries.
Qin Xiong's level may be much lower than the Asian players in the opponent's team.
Song Jong Kook, a South Korean international and the handpicked successor of Hong Myungpo, the previous spiritual leader of the South Korean national team.
Shinji Ono, a Japanese international and all-round midfielder, is known domestically as Japan's Beckham.
Qin Xiong, uh Chinese player, that's all.
Qin Xiong himself didn't really care if he would meet opponents from the same continent on the court.
To be honest, he can't particularly care if his opponent is from Asia, or if China's neighbors, Japan, or South Korea.
What's the point?
Do you have a strong belief to beat South Korean or Japanese players?
The pursuit is too low!
Looking at football, the players who beat Japan and South Korea don't prove anything!
In that case, why care?
However, Van Persie and Kuyt in the opposing team are more concerned about Qin Xiong.
Van Persie has been on the news pages of Dutch football media very often, because he is young and talented, and he is constantly right and wrong, especially now, he has almost broken with manager Van Marwijk, but due to his strength and the importance of the game, Van Marwijk has no problem with Van Persie, and he cannot exclude Van Persie from the starting lineup.
But excluding these factors of right and wrong, the most dazzling player in the Feyenoord team is actually Kuyt as a striker.
There is no other reason, he scores a lot of goals.
After the game started, the person who really impressed Qin Xiong was Kuyt.
Ajax will play in this game, the three lines are closely combined, Qin Xiong will control the offensive and defensive rhythm of the whole team, and when he walks with his teammates in the midfield and tore the opponent's defense, Kuyt will start a stalking fight against Qin Xiong from behind!
How strong his offensive ability is, Qin Xiong doesn't know.
But his defensive enthusiasm is truly unexpected.
Because in the past few months of professional games, Qin Xiong has hardly seen a striker who can do such a sincere and hard-working defense as Kuyt.
Needless to say, Ibrahimovic is sometimes in the state of an uncle, other giants, like PSV Eindhoven's Kezman, sometimes they are also leisurely, and AC Milan's Inzaghi, that is to live on the offside line
Qin Xiong is more vigilant than before against the defense from behind, but he is still calm, because Kuyt is a striker after all, hard defense and defensive quality are two concepts, hard work, does not mean effective, pure defensive players may only need to play 50%, can be more efficient than forward players, because they know better how to choose, defensive prediction, and the difference in defensive skills.
Qin Xiong did not go head-to-head with Kuyt, who used his body and speed to entangle Qin Xiong, and in order to get rid of him, Qin Xiong would frequently make feints, including faking to one side when controlling the ball, and then dribbling to the other side to briefly get rid of Kuyt.
And if he steps forward again, past the midfield line, Kuyt's defensive retreat will drop, after all, he is a striker, it looks hard to recover the half, but the team needs him the most, or attack, when the attack and defense are converted, he stays in his own half, not impossible, but not conducive to fast attack tactics.
After halftime, Qin Xiong's head-on opponent became Shinji Ono.
He doesn't care who his opponent is, in his eyes, it may be the same who the opponent is.
Qin Xiong frequently passed the ball to his teammates, flickering left and right, and the speed of his pass could be seen that Ajax's rhythm was not fast, and his teammates also cooperated to maintain this rhythm.
When the game was in the 13th minute, Qin Xiong began to accelerate.
