Seydoux ahead of time? Keita, before the switch to Ajax, I am afraid that no one will remember this name, even in the early days of the switch to Ajax, no one can say the origin of this black player, but in the past season, he has established himself at Ajax and has become one of the team's best performers.

Speaking of the surname Keita, in Africa, especially in Mali, Senegal and other countries in West Africa, it represents a big surname, because from the 12th century to the 17th century, it was the Keita dynasty that ruled West Africa, and even now, the Keita family is still full of talents, all over the political circles, music, writers and entertainers, and the first president of Mali is from the Keita family.

Seydoux? Keita comes from a footballing family, and his uncle is Mali's famous former number one star, Sarif? Keita, who made a name for himself in Ligue 1 in the 60s and helped Marseille to win three consecutive Ligue 1 titles, also won the African Footballer of the Year, and after retiring he ran a football school in the Malian capital.

The famous Sarife? Keita's youth centre, which is hailed by Malians as a source of football talent in the country.

In Mali, football is called the king, because there is hardly anyone who doesn't like to play football, whether it's a boy or a girl. Keita's academy is trained by other talented players such as Mohammed? Diarra.

Seydoux? Keita stood out from all the children who had been trained, and he was recommended by his uncle to leave Mali and enter the academy in Marseille at the age of 17.

Many young people are still growing up under the wing of their parents at the age of 17, but Keita has to leave his hometown, away from his relatives to a strange Europe, with a language barrier and completely different living habits, he simply cannot adapt to such changes and circumstances, and secretly hides in the bed and cries almost every night.

What's more, there were a lot of homegrown youngsters in Marseille's youth team at the time who were training together who rejected the black teenager from Africa, because they knew very well that he would affect their position and performance.

But it was the 1999 World Junior Championships that really changed Keita's fate.

After two years at Marseille, Keita barely performed in the first team, because Marseille did not trust the black-looking African player at all, they felt that he had no brute strength, and his personality seemed to be a bit unsociable, and it was difficult for such a player to contribute to the team.

But when Keita proposed to represent Mali in the World Youth Championships, Marseille did not allow it, because in their opinion, it is impossible for a team like Mali to participate in the World Youth Championships, and Keita is paid by Marseille, and they do not want their players to represent the national team.

On this issue, Keita inherited his uncle Sarif ? Keita's character, insisted on returning to China to participate in the competition for his country, and had a very stiff quarrel with Marseille for this, and finally Marseille made a compromise and let Keita go back to Africa to participate in the World Youth Championships in Nigeria. Diarra formed a strong midfield and led Mali to a third-place finish, while Keita himself became the Ballon d'Or winner at the World Youth Championships.

But just when Keita thought that his fate would change because of this, Marseille were surprised by Keita's performance on the one hand, but on the other hand, they were dissatisfied with Keita's disobedience to the club's requirements, which directly affected Keita's situation at the club, resulting in his poor performance in the first team in the following season.

Marseille eventually decided to abandon Keita, and they began to find a buyer for Keita through their relationship.

But what kind of team can a man who has not had the slightest first-team performance and only has the title of Ballon d'Or at the World Youth Championships attract?

It was arguably the most hesitant and unpredictable period for Keita in Europe, and he was completely panicked about his future, because he didn't know where he was going next. What kind of arrangements are to be accepted?

What he didn't expect was that when he felt desperate and difficult, Ye Qiu called him for help.

"Would you like to come to Ajax? Here you will get the chance to prove yourself and you will become one of the best or even top stars in Europe, because I believe you have the quality! This was what Ye Qiu said to him on the phone at that time.

That was the only coach in his life who said this to Keita, and even his mother never said this to him when she comforted and encouraged him, so at that moment, Keita decided to sell himself to Ye Qiu!

Coming to Amsterdam and joining Ajax, Keita quickly established himself in Ye Qiu's team and became the team's main midfielder, and his performance quickly won everyone's recognition.

Among Ajax's midfield triumvirate, Keita's positioning is somewhat special.

If the division of labor is carried out in a possession system, Gilberto? Silva and Sneijder both belong to the type of who constantly run to receive passes from teammates and constantly give passes to teammates, but after Ye Qiu passed a period of observation, he realized that this was not Keita's strong point, so he changed Keita's responsibilities.

Now in Ajax's midfield system, Keita's role is more like a defender covering a wide area, from the front court to participate in the attack, invest in the local counter-attack, to retreat to participate in the team's defense at the back, Keita has almost enough contributions at both ends of the team's offensive and defensive ends, and many people say that Keita's running is a bit blind.

There is no way to do it, some players have enough awareness to complete [let the ball keep coming to you], that is because they have excellent running and playmaking, and excellent passing ability; However, some players can only do [I keep looking for the ball], and no manager can make a player transform from the latter to the former in a short period of time.

Just like Essien of Chelsea in his previous life, he also had a lot of blind running at the beginning, through a large area of coverage and running at any cost, allowing him to contribute to the team's offensive and defensive system, and there is AC Milan's Gattuso, he was also this type of player in the early stage, so many people said at the time that these two players were-stirring players.

But later, with the accumulation of game experience and the improvement of playing wisdom, fans gradually found that whether it was Essien or Gattuso, they were getting smarter and smarter, because they changed from constantly looking for the ball to letting the ball come to you, the transformation between these two roles represents a kind of progress.

Originally Yaya? Toure is more in line with this midfield role than Keita in Ye Qiu's tactical positioning, because he can be a player who keeps coming for the ball, but he is too sticky to the ball, which is his shortcoming, and he is still young and does not perform as well as Keita, so Ye Qiu finally chose Keita.

This is also a trade-off, no one is 100% perfect, there are advantages and there must be shortcomings, the key is how a manager covers up the shortcomings of the players and excavates their strengths, which is the key for the manager to improve the combat effectiveness of a team.

For Ye Qiu, Keita is very grateful and admired, he can have today, can stand at the top of the UEFA Cup, can stand on the stage of the UEFA Super Cup, and compete with top giants like Bayern Munich, it all comes from head coach Ye Qiu.

Therefore, when Ye Qiu scored the fifth goal of the game in Bayern Munich, he rushed directly to the sidelines, angrily reprimanded the shit-like performance of the players on the field, and even did not hesitate to intimidate and threaten.

"If I can, I'm going to replace all 11 of you with Lao Tzu!"

Ye Qiu's accusation cannot be said to be unreasonable, it is a fact that his physical fitness has declined, but after the Ajax players led 3:0 in the first half, the overall laxity was also the main factor, especially several players in the team, who were a little slack.

Bayern Munich: What kind of team is that?

Give a little sunshine, even in the face of Real Madrid, Manchester United, and other top European giants, Bayern Munich can suppress the opponent, their fighting spirit, their willpower, can be called the best in the world.

In such a team, as long as you are a little slack, you will be gnawed to the point that there are no bones left anytime and anywhere.

Keita heard Ye Qiu's reprimand, and a wave of anger surged in his heart, not at all at the head coach, but at himself and his opponent.

Not only him, but the Ajax players were also frightened by the manager and the fierce look, and they all began to clean up their moods, began to work harder and more desperately into the game, and launched a round of counterattacks and attacks against Bayern Munich.

After the restart, Ajax played very resolutely, ignoring the loopholes behind him, and actively moved forward to participate in the attack.

In the 83rd minute, just over a minute after Bayern's goal, Ajax's attack remained in Bayern's Munich half, but with little effect.

McCone plays right midfield, partnering with Van der Meyde in front, and there are no Bayern players in front of the two, so Van der Meyde's position is more into the Bayern Munich penalty area, and a large amount of space on the right side is given to McConn.

When Donny van der Meyde got into the box, McCone got Yaya on the right? Toure's ball, in the right corner of the penalty area, there is no one around to defend, this is the effect of the local area of the numerical advantage, Effenberg rushed quickly, but McCone raised his head and looked at the Bayern Munich penalty area.

It was already a mess, packed with players from Ajax and Bayern Munich.

Sagnol, Robert? Kovacs, Kufuor, Hargreaves, Salihamidzic...... Ibrahimovic, Keita, Yaya? Toure......

There were so many players pouring into the small penalty area, and the situation there suddenly became very chaotic, it was like a pot of boiling gruel, and it was impossible to tell what was what.

McCone noticed Effenberg after winning the ball, and he was not prepared to let the tiger get close, because he knew Effenberg's quality very well, so he grabbed before Eeffenberg and crossed the ball to the left side of the small penalty area in front of the goal.

Both Bayern Munich and Ajax players took note of this side, with Bayern taking advantage of their numerical advantage to firmly occupy the most powerful positions in the box, while McConn's cross forced them to move back, and as soon as they moved, their advantage was eroded and their defence was porous.

There is a sentence that must be remembered that the key to grabbing points is not only in height and physical confrontation, but also in the prediction of the landing point, the occupation of the advantageous position, and the observation of the surrounding situation, which also play a very important role.

When Keita saw McConn's cross, the ball was still in mid-air, he already had a hunch, roughly guessed where the ball would fall and where it would be, this ability is not surprising for Keita, the Ajax coaching staff is very familiar with his ability, so he has also scored many headers and crosses.

Keita realized this, and the whole person shook off Sagnol, grabbed ahead of the Frenchman, and quickly rushed to the small penalty area from the left side, Sagnol quickly chased back, and Robert? Kovac was also constantly dropping back, and he also anticipated where the ball would land.

Can wait until Robert? When Kovacs arrived, he found Keita a step ahead of him.

Don't underestimate this step, is it because Keita is better than Robert? Kovacs arrived one step early, so when Robert? When Kovacs was in place, Keita took advantage of his unstable center of gravity to make a physical contact and stop Robert? Kovacs jumped for the first time, and he secretly had a small action of hidden interference, that is, he used his hands to interfere with Robert? Kovacs.

The Croatian central defender arrived at the place, but he couldn't jump at the first time, but it was Keita, all the movements were done at the same time in an instant, and he was the same height as Robert? Kovac is the tallest in comparison to Sagnol, and has the typical bounce and flexibility of an African player, so he jumps very high.

Facing McConn's incoming ball, Keita had a noticeable lingering movement in mid-air, saw Kahn, he deliberately hit a touch rebound, the ball was very fast, after touching Keita's forehead, turned in a direction, and bounced quickly after landing.

Kahn judged the direction and made a save, but he didn't expect it to be a touchdown rebound, which was very difficult for the goalkeeper to save.

In the end, Kahn watched as the ball drilled into the goal behind him, 4:2!

Everyone in the stadium watched in disbelief as Kahn fell to the ground and became the foil and background for Keita's goal, while the Ajax players frantically stormed into the box.

After a brief silence, the entire Stadium Louis II erupted in the most enthusiastic shouts since the opening of the stadium.

"Brave Ajax, move forward fearlessly!"

"Bayern Munich, we are not afraid of you at all!"

"Come, brave Ajax warriors, let's conquer Europe!"

Countless Ajax fans are screaming from the stands, maybe the UEFA Super Cup is not important at all, but beating Bayern Munich means something completely different, because this is the strongest team in Europe and the toughest team in Europe.

But the Ajax players proved their mettle with this performance with this game.

"We like to challenge the big teams and the stronger the opponents, the more excited we are because the more it proves our quality!"

The words of head coach Ye Qiu are still in his ears, and no one can deny the success of his spiritual indoctrination of this Ajax team, and he has rebuilt this Ajax team, which has been weak in the past few years, into an iron army that can not only win the weak team, but also be able to fight tough battles and win the strong.

Ibrahimovic, who was known as a soft egg in his previous life, has scored goals at key moments since joining Ajax, especially in the outstanding performance in the UEFA Cup final.

Join Ajax and play around a group of wolf-like teammates, and even the softest players will become tough!

Ye Qiu applauded happily after Keita's goal, he was satisfied with Keita's performance, although the performance of the Mali midfielder in this game can not be said to be very good, but the goal at the most critical moment saved Ajax and avoided the possibility of Ajax being equalized or even reversed.

Heathfield and Ye Qiu are both gambling, both of them are obviously gambling, because they almost gave up the defense of this game, and they all chose to attack, it depends on who can win the bet, and whose players can support the last.

There is no doubt that the game has gone on so far, and Ajax has the absolute advantage!

But it was clear that Heathfield and his Bayern Munich were not fuel-efficient lamps either, and after being scored again by Ajax, Bayern Munich quickly took the ball to the centre circle while constantly reminding the referee that the game should start immediately.

It is clear that this iron army from the Bundesliga has also been aroused by Ajax's fighting spirit and anger.

Soon, Ajax's celebration was interrupted and the game resumed, with Bayern Munich launching a fierce attack on Ajax, and they really launched a desperate attack this time, and even central defender Kufuor actively pressed forward.

For them, it's okay to lose, but it's a shame, and you can't do it to death!

And the way to save dignity is not only to score, but also to fight to the last minute and second of the game!

In the 92nd minute of extra time, Bayern Munich scored another goal, taking advantage of Yaya? Toure was too sticky to the ball, Effenberg found Elber with a long pass after breaking the ball, and the Brazilian striker got the ball at the edge of the Ajax penalty area, instantly got rid of Kivo, and directly volleyed, penetrating Ajax's goal again, 3:4!

But everyone knows that it was a face-saving goal, but it is undeniable that Bayern Munich's performance was enough to earn them respect and dignity and allow them to leave the Louis II Stadium with pride.

In the minds of fans, the game is not necessarily only won or lost, there is one thing that is more important than winning or losing, and that is dignity!
