Volume 1 Chapter 46 Again!
There is a saying that is very true, there is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts.
In Dutch football, the rivalry between Ajax and Feyenoord has always been the focus of attention for all fans.
As the two teams with the most titles in the Eredivisie, the match between Ajax and Feyenoord is hailed as a classic battle, and many fans have dubbed the Dutch derby, which is a major event in Dutch football twice a year.
The grievances between the two clubs are more likely to come from the two cities.
Amsterdam and Rotterdam are the capital of the Netherlands and the economic, financial and cultural center, while Rotterdam is the largest port in the Netherlands and has always been known as the gateway to Europe, which makes the two cities unconvinced of each other, somewhat similar to the relationship between Madrid and Barcelona in Spain.
With such a city background, coupled with the fact that Ajax and Feyenoord are the most successful teams in the Eredivisie, it is natural that the fans of the two teams hate each other, and they attack each other every time they play, while the outside media takes the opportunity to exaggerate the competition between Amsterdam, which represents art and creativity, and Rotterdam, which represents hard work and courage.
Over time, the fans of both teams regard each other as their mortal enemies, and when it comes to the game between each other, they often attack each other, and even cause a lot of trouble, just like in Amsterdam in 97, Ajax defeated Feyenoord 3:0, and the fans of both sides clashed after the game, resulting in the death of an Ajax fan.
In the subsequent 97/98 season and 98/99 season, Ajax defeated Feyenoord, including 4:0 and 6:0 victories, Feyenoord can be described as discredited, and the hatred between Ajax even continued from the fans to the players.
This season, Ajax has experienced turmoil, and Feyenoord has washed away the helplessness of the past few years and completely crushed Ajax under him, which makes Feyenoord fans feel very proud, and Ajax fans are disappointed because of this.
Before the Dutch Cup final, Feyenoord fans had repeatedly mocked and ridiculed Ajax, believing that their first team was a group of soft eggs, so they could only let the second team come out and bear Feyenoord's fire.
But the Ajax fans fought back, shouting in a high-profile voice, we only need to be on the second team to kill you!
When it came to the game, the Ajax II team surprised everyone at the beginning, penetrating Feyenoord's goal in less than a minute, and then always maintaining the lead, which made Ajax fans extremely excited, and also made Feyenoord fans and players feel depressed and aggrieved.
Towards the end of the first half, Feyenoord not only equalized, but also completely controlled the dominance on the field, which made Feyenoord's fans shout very excitedly in the stands, and also made Feyenoord's players breathe a big sigh of relief.
Now, having met this group of young players from Ajax in the players' tunnel, Feyenoord's group of experienced players have naturally not forgotten to fall into the trap and further dampen the morale of the opposition.
"Wow wow, Amsterdam imps, do you want to cry?" Feyenoord's main central defender Van Ondelen shouted with a mock.
The slashed-looking, somewhat gloomy Dutch centre-back has experienced Feyenoord and Ajax in recent years, and he is also a first-hand witness of the 3:0, 6:0 and 4:0 games that were flaunted as shame by Feyenoord fans, so it is a blessing for him to be able to hold down Ajax this season.
"But it's no wonder, you're only in the second team, if you want to cry, then go home and let your family come out!" Van Ondelen Ha laughed, "But I feel that the adults in your family are all soft eggs, and they must not dare to come, and they will not come!" ”
"Of course, isn't this nonsense? This is the Dutch Cup final, except for those guys who have taken shit luck, they all have to rely on strength to get in, do you think any cat or dog can come? De Haan next to him said sarcastically.
"It's so pitiful, it's only a few years old, and I was called out to be embarrassed, tsk!"
Feyenoord's players were sneering over there, and the Ajax players were not to be outdone.
"It's funny, looking down on our second team, did you win? It's just a shame to let you equalize! ”
"It's, it's just, I don't want to think about it, I don't feel ashamed to be and pee on my head for more than half an hour by a group of people I look down on, and I still have the face to say it!"
"If it were me, I'd hit the wall and die!"
Van der Vaart, Sneijder and a group of Ajax academy players couldn't help but counterattack and didn't give an inch.
Nowadays, every team in the Netherlands has a scandal of football hooligans, so that many foreign teams are reluctant to bring fans to the Netherlands to play European competitions, and the Dutch Football Association has cracked down on this very harshly, so the relevant players are still more restrained in this kind of thing, and it is okay to say it, but everyone knows where the bottom line is.
"You guys just keep your mouths stiff, we will make you all cry and go home to feed in the second half!"
"Don't kneel and beg for mercy then, little ghost!"
Feyenoord's players walked in front of the young players of the Ajax second team one after another, all of them were full of disdain, especially when Van Ondelen passed by Van der Vaart, glanced at the Ajax hopeful, and sneered.
"You're Van der Vaart?" When he asked, he was shaking his head, "It's not good, I don't see any comparison between you and Cruyff, Overmars, and even I think you are not as good as Van Persie in our youth team!" ”
After saying that, he didn't wait for Van der Vaart to counterattack, and he walked to the away team's dressing room far from the players' tunnel with a smile.
"These bastards!" Van der Vaart almost missed the lungs.
"You have to teach them a good lesson in the second half!" Sneijder was furious.
A group of people made a commotion, you said, I walked into the locker room of the home team, the head coach Ye Qiu was already waiting for them here, and including Heitinga, Van Duyin and others, as soon as they saw Ye Qiu, they all lowered their heads one by one.
Ye Qiu told him a thousand times before and during the game, he must not make mistakes, and he must not make mistakes, but they still made mistakes.
Although Ye Qiu could understand their mistakes and could understand their mood at the moment, he still decided to put some pressure on them, so he just looked at them and didn't speak, and then the whole locker room suddenly became very quiet, and even the sound of mosquitoes could be heard clearly.
After a full two or three minutes, Ye Qiu saw that some players finally couldn't sit still, so he spoke.
"The responsibility for conceding a goal in the first half is on me!"
Ye Qiu's words surprised everyone present, especially Heitinga and Van Duyin, who all raised their heads sharply and looked at their head coach in disbelief.
"I overestimated my opponent and I have to apologize that I made a mistake on a tactical level, we shrank too fast and too much!" Ye Qiu's words were in his heart.
If Ajax II had not scored a goal and then retreated as soon as Feyenoord's counter-attack threatened, perhaps the situation would have been completely different if Ajax had been able to cause a little more trouble for the opposition.
Of course, Ye Qiu's choice was also a bit of a last resort, because Feyenoord's counterattack after losing the ball was too ruthless, and the huge gap in strength made Ye Qiu dare not and could not try to counterattack, otherwise, the player would be distracted and the defense would inevitably have problems.
It's a dilemma, and at the end of the day, it's the lack of quality in the team.
"I have a hunch that Feyenoord managed to equalise before the end of the first half, which boosted morale, and they will not give up such a situation easily in the second half, they will want to keep the situation, so they will use the kick-off to attack directly, use the attack to suppress us, and continue to maintain the advantage of the last stage of the first half."
"We don't have a choice now, we can only continue to defend!" Ye Qiu looked at Kurul, "In the second half, we need more people to put in defense, so I'm going to replace you with Maduro." ”
Kurul looked disappointed, Ye Qiu arranged him to the left side in order to activate Van der Vaart, resulting in him having no threat and play on the left side, and now, as soon as the first half ended, he had to be replaced again, which made Kurul, who wanted to have a performance on the big stage of the Dutch Cup final, felt very disappointed.
But at this time, he had no choice but to obey.
Ye Qiu didn't have time to pay attention to Kurul, he went to Maduro and returned to the back three, the purpose is to further strengthen the defense, leaving Huntelaar and Van der Vaart in front, and the midfield is to let De Jong and Maduro no longer step forward, always protect the defensive line, further liberate Sneijder's role in counterattacking, and also let Van der Rudo on the right side participate in the counterattack.
"If they want to attack, let them attack, we must defend, and we must be able to defend!" Ye Qiu looked at the players in front of him and told him word by word, "Remember my words, as long as we don't make mistakes ourselves, then they won't be able to break through our defense, the first half is the most obvious example, they have been attacking for so long, have they broken through?" ”
Heitinga and Van Duin both knew about the mistakes they made in the first half, Ye Qiu didn't blame them by name, they all made them very grateful in their hearts, after listening to Ye Qiu's appeal, they both nodded heavily, and secretly promised in their hearts that they would not make mistakes easily in the second half, and the two of them had already negotiated and encountered some division of labor similar to the situation in the first half.
"As strong as PSV Eindhoven, they still haven't been able to break through our defense, this is our biggest bargaining chip, and our only bargaining chip, we can only take the opportunity to counterattack and completely cut them down again!"
After a pause, Ye Qiu slowed down his tone, "I hope you can all remember that this is the first time we have appeared in front of all Dutch fans, we want to use our performance to make everyone remember each of our names, the championship trophy is ahead, just waiting for us to bring it back to Amsterdam!" ”
"I'm sure you'll be able to do it!"
…………
…………
Van Marwijk was still unwilling to give up the advantage he had worked so hard to build up in the first half, and at the beginning of the second half, he used his serve to boldly launch a fierce attack on the Ajax second team's defence.
Ye Qiu used De Jong and Maduro to guard the middle and protect the defensive line, and the two players were strictly required to not be able to break away from the defense line under any circumstances, so they almost did not cut forward, but stayed in front of the defensive line.
Once the ball is in possession, it is immediately shifted to the feet of Sneijder, who usually plays down the two flanks, especially on the right.
But Feyenoord's attack was too fierce, and although the defense of Ajax II was well organized, it was also created a few dangerous attacks, but with one more Maduro and one more person in front of the defense, Tomasson's retreat was limited to the area, and it was difficult to get space similar to the first half.
In this way, the hole that Feyenoord managed to find was filled in time by the Ajax II team.
The hole was filled, but the price paid was also huge, that is, the counterattack was basically left with Huntelaar, Van der Vaart, at best one Van der Raw, Sneijder was barely half, and everyone else was defending with all their might.
This tactic made the Ajax II team look very passive, and the scene was completely one-sided, and they were pressed and beaten by Feyenoord.
'The situation now gives the feeling that Feyenoord's goal is a matter of time!' The on-site commentator is also very pessimistic about the current situation of the Ajax second team, where the gap in strength is, what else?
"Indeed!" Cruyff agrees, "But sooner or later, sooner or later, the key is to see how long the Ajax second team can hold this breath, if they can survive until Feyenoord breaks first, then they may still have a chance." ”
"Still a chance?" The on-site narrator had a somewhat strange opinion of Cruyff.
"Yes, don't you think Feyenoord attacked too hard from the start in the second half?" Cruyff asked rhetorically.
When the on-site commentator heard it and thought about it, it seemed to be true.
"Maybe it's a mistake, or maybe it's Ye Qiu's deliberate arrangement, I prefer to believe that this is Ye Qiu's deliberate concession to let Feyenoord attack as much as he wants, in this case, if Feyenoord can't break through the goal of the Ajax second team, then unless they can maintain this fast-paced offensive until the end of the game, otherwise, they will show their flaws!"
That's Ajax's chance to fight back!
Sometimes when I think about it, Cruyff really admires and admires this young man, it can almost be said that he led the Ajax II team in the Dutch Cup, every game is to hang his head on his waist to fight the enemy, as long as he can't hold it once, then his team will definitely die a miserable death.
It's like now, if Feyenoord breaks the goal, then Feyenoord's players will tear Ajax II to pieces like wolves, and this game will definitely turn into a one-sided massacre.
But the question is, Ye Qiu and his second Ajax team have survived every time, what about this time?
This kind of game is very torturous, because everyone can see that the life of the Ajax second team hangs on the line, and it is possible to fall to death anytime and anywhere, so all the Ajax fans in the stadium are worried about the second team, because of Feyenoord's every offensive and frightened.
However, the players of the second team fought hard in the game, and they even did not hesitate to use their bodies to block the opponent's shot again and again, and then as if the ball would not hurt when it hit their body, they got up from the ground and re-entered the game.
That's it with PSV Eindhoven, it's like this with Utrecht, it's like this with Heerenveen, and now it's like this with Feyenoord, it's still like that, it's beyond tactics.
Huang Chu and Eliza? Moon was sitting in the stands of Philips Stadium, they all got the tickets that Ye Qiu gave them, and sat next to each other, but now they were all sweating profusely, because they were nervous, because they were afraid.
If it was Huang Chu's character, she would not like football very much, she would consider leaving the field early, but this time, she just sat there, looking at Ye Qiu on the side of the field who had his back to her, but his fists were clenched tightly, staring at the game, she hoped to be able to fight side by side with Ye Qiu.
Exclamations again and again, whistling past again and again, but the ball never got on the back of the Ajax II goal.
It wasn't for Feyenoord to show mercy as they had at least two chances to get the ball into the back of the net, one of which had already fooled the goalkeeper but was disrupted by Kifu in front of the goal line and defused a goal-breaking crisis, and once it was a drop-back De Jong who blocked Contman's shot with his body, for which De Jong was lifted off the pitch for treatment, but was soon back in action.
This group of 16 and 17-year-old teenagers is not as strong as their opponents, but they don't lose to anyone at all!
"Ajax, come on!!"
"Come on, Ajax!"
"Brave Ajax warriors, we fight side by side with you!!"
"Kill Feyenoord, we are brave Ajax!"
The fans in the stands were also infected by the tenacious fighting spirit of the second team players, in the shouts of Feyenoord fans, they gradually shouted out the slogans of the Ajax fans themselves, at first it seemed very weak, but gradually, all the Ajax fans in the stadium shouted in unison, that momentum, not lost to Feyenoord at all, and even faintly suppressed the opponent.
Fans will get tired if they shout for a long time, and players will also get tired if they attack for a long time.
The players of the second team of Ajax reached the very end, and almost every time they got the ball, they cleared the ball with a big foot and then continued to defend.
And as Feyenoord's offensive intervals dragged on longer and longer, everyone could see that Feyenoord's players' fitness had begun to fail, and they maintained a fast-paced attack for 25 minutes in the second half, and their iron bodies could not bear it.
However, the second team of Ajax still cleared the ball out of the circle and gave it to them, and then guarded the 30-meter area of their side one by one, looked at the opposite side, and looked as if to say: Come again, come again, you have the ability to fucking attack again!
After attacking for a long time, Feyenoord also began to relax their vigilance, began to press on it aggressively, and began to not pay attention to the large gaps left behind them.
