The strongest is the weakest, Ye Qiu is more and more in agreement with this point of view!

The strongest point in Roma's 3412 lineup is on the wing, without the pull of Cafu, Candela and Del Vecchio on the wing, if you create tactical width, Totti and Batistuta are easy to be targeted by the other party in the middle, especially Cafu on the right, he has almost reached the peak of his career in Capello's set of tactics.

But also because of his trust and reliance on Cafu, Capello was very relieved to hand over the entire right side to Cafu, and arranged Zebina behind the Brazilian to be responsible for assisting him in defense and filling, so that he could be very relieved to attack.

Kozerbina is the right centre-back, and in addition to helping Cafu in his position, he also has to help Samuel keep an eye on Ibrahimovic.

The Swedish centre-forward has a surprisingly tall build, but at the same time has a footwork that other centre-forwards don't have, and the only obvious flaw is his penchant for sticking the ball and playing tricks.

With such a player, it is difficult for any defender to guarantee that he will be able to mark him in one-on-one, let alone a 12-centimeter height difference in a central defender like Samuel, when Ajax gave up more of a frontal attack from Ibrahimovic and adopted a strategy of dropping back to the wall and playing high balls from the wings, the Argentine central defenders were under great pressure.

If it weren't for Zebina and Zago on the side, Samuel would have been swallowed by the Swedish center!

Because he wants to help Samuel, Zebina can't be too far away from the Argentine, so when Cafu moves forward to participate in the attack, there will be a period of time when Cafu and Zebina will be very far apart, which is what fans usually call a loophole.

Ye Qiu discovered this loophole, so he also asked the players to take advantage of it, but he still had to wait.

Because, to take advantage of this period of vulnerability, it has to be just right, the team cut in front of Cafu and Zebina didn't have time to fill in for him in this very short period of time, breaking the ball and playing a quick counter-attack, which requires a bit of luck.

It can be said that there is no way to calculate the goals on the football field, there are certain tactical routines and coordination patterns, but it also requires luck.

It wasn't until near the end of the first half, when Roma players began to invest more in the attack and their mentality became anxious, that Ajax waited for such an opportunity.

Cafu dribbled forward, Abidal and Keita teamed up for a clamp, and Abidal stabbed Keita and passed directly to Robben.

Robben picked up the ball on the left and in an instant it was like a lightning bolt and quickly advanced to the left.

Zebina was on his way to fill in the position, and he wanted to get close to Robben as soon as possible and not let the Dutch winger speed up, but unfortunately, because the distance between him and Cafu was too far, so he could not post Robben in time.

Once Robben's pace on the left flank soared, Zebina simply couldn't stop it.

However, this time, Robben was not able to completely shake off Zebina, who followed behind Robben, only one position behind, and because he was standing on the inside, it was difficult for Robben to cut into the box from the left, and he chose to cross after the last.

At the moment, there are only Ibrahimovic and Samuel in the box, and Robben plays a high ball.

The Swede has never been very fond of hitting the ball with his head, because he likes to use his feet, which is a bit like the Brazilian players, who usually think that if you can do it with your feet, why do it with your head?

But this time, Ibrahimovic did not hesitate at all, and when facing Samuel and Robben's high ball, he chose to use the simplest and most practical way, jumping high and shaking his head to attack the goal.

Many people say that the most perfect height gap between men and women is 12 cm, because it can make men look tall and mighty, and women are very small birds, but I don't know if it is appropriate to use this word on men and men, but at this moment, when Samuel is blocked by Ibrahimovic, he is really a bird.

Antonioli made a flying save, but Ibrahimovic's header went wide of the corner.

When the ball got into the Roma goal again, all the Roma fans in the stadium fell silent.

The entire Olympic Stadium seemed to be completely crushed by Ibrahimovic's goal, and they all looked at the stadium blankly, at a loss to see the group of Ajax players wearing away team jerseys, one by one excitedly rushed out of the stadium, at the corner flagpole, under their noses, celebrating wildly.

"2-0, my God, Fabio Capello's side were 2-0 down to Ajax in the first half, what the hell is going on? Could it be that Capello is ready to give up the UEFA Cup competition? ”

The on-site commentators lacked the slightest confidence in their own judgment, because judging from Roma's starting line-up, Capello had the ambition to make a splash in the UEFA Cup, but they were never able to put the pace of the game in the direction they do best.

Totti was stared at to death, Batistuta was also blocked by Lucio, the players on the wing could not create a threat, Roma's attack was completely deadlocked, and Ajax's high defense compressed Roma's three lines to one, and even the Roma players themselves felt very uncomfortable.

That is, on a tactical level, Ajax controlled the game.

The live television camera swept over Capello's grim face, which was almost as cold as a thousand years, and he crossed his hands around his chest, as if he was thinking, and his sorrow could be easily seen in his expression.

Underestimating Ajax?

No, Capello never underestimated his opponents, but what he didn't expect was that Ajax dared to play their high defense so resolutely away from home, and their targeted defense was also in place, grasping the big and letting go of the small, focusing on limiting Totti and Batistuta, which made Roma's attack always in a very awkward state.

Without Totti's grooming and organization, the Roma offensive was simply not organized.

High-level defense and midfield pressing, these are no strangers to Capello, because in his career, before he became the head coach of AC Milan, the head coach of the Rossoneri Sacchi adopted this style of play, but Sachi's formation at that time was 442, and now Ye Qiu has changed to 433 with more changes, but also higher requirements for players.

Even now, many people say that Capello's coaching of AC Milan is based on Sachi, but Capello himself denies this, because he was completely different from Saki from the beginning.

Sacchi's favorite style is this style of regaining possession by defending high, pressing actively, and Capello is the first thing to do after losing possession, and his tactical style and success are more based on absolute control of the two penalty areas, so his AC Milan can score a lot of goals and also be able to defend solidly.

It's hard to say who's good and who's bad, Sachi's style of play is sexier, more flamboyant, and more passionate, but that often means more inconsistent, and Capello's style is dull and even a little boring, but he has the composure that countless teams dream of.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, Capello encountered this kind of team that adopted a high defensive position again, and he also lost......

Therefore, Capello, who appeared in the live TV camera, showed a playful wry smile after the most embarrassing.

…………

…………

The score of 2:0 surprised Ye Qiu a little, but he felt that it was reasonable.

Capello's style of coaching has always been focused on the wings, and throughout his career, the teams that have achieved brilliant results have basically been teams with excellent wide ability, because Capello is not good at attacking in positional battles, but instead uses vertical breakthroughs and tactical width to solve problems in a scorched state, which is his strength.

is also not good at positional warfare attacks, so Capello has never been able to use his forward midfield.

In the two years since he came to Rome, Totti has complained about him, and one of the reasons is Capello's use of him.

The league is different from the cup competition, the league relies on strength and stability, but the cup competition relies on targeted tactics and player performance.

One of the important reasons why Capello's team can perform well in the league is that his team has always been very stable, and the points that should be taken can basically be obtained, but in the cup competition, the opponent will arrange your tactics, and then Capello's weakness will be completely exposed.

Speaking of Capello is also very unlucky, because Ye Qiu remembers that in the 00/01 season of this Roma, Capello himself was not very satisfied, so after the end of this season, he introduced Cassano, this is a player with excellent personal ability, Capello has high hopes for him, thinking that his joining can maximize Roma's midfield attack and promotion ability.

Fabio Capello's revamp of Totti is also underway, and he hopes Totti will be able to get involved more in the attack.

It should be said that Capello has a lot of ideas and ideas, but unfortunately, after Batistuta's first season in Rome, his form declined rapidly in the second season, which exposed the weakness of Capello's team's weak performance in positional battles even more obviously, and then the decline in Cafu and Candela's form pushed Roma into the abyss.

In the 02/03 season, Roma was once close to the relegation zone, which is the epitome of these problems, and Capello's dream of hitting the Champions League was shattered, even in the 03/04 season, Roma performed well again, but Capello has lost confidence and fighting spirit, and finally chose to go to Juventus.

Ye Qiu's arrangement in this game is actually aimed at the weakness of Rome and Capello, staring at Batistuta and Totti, and strengthening the pressure of the high defense, these are all important means for Ye Qiu to suppress Rome.

Ajax played better in this game, the atmosphere was always in the rhythm and situation that Ajax was familiar with, but Roma, on the other hand, did not like the tight environment.

"We've taken it, Bobby!" Ye Qiu smiled and looked at Bobby? Harms.

The chubby Dutchman smiled generously beside him, the 2:0 lead had already allowed Ajax to score two crucial away goals, and Ye Qiu could also arrange the defensive counterattack in the second half more calmly.

It should be said that the competition has been carried out so far, and the odds are very high!

"Zlatan, this kid has hit a wall after this game, and he has learned to be well-behaved, so he shouldn't resist the special training given to him by the coaching staff anymore!" Bobby? Harms really admires the Swedish centre-forward, who is tall and strong, and has excellent foot skills, and once carved, such a player can be staggering on the pitch.

At least, when he abandons a frontal attack, Samuel has nothing to do with him!

Ye Qiuwan smiled, not only Ibrahimovic, but also competing with such a strong opponent is a very good training for everyone at Ajax, and it is also a huge challenge, which is of great help to the growth and progress of this group of young players.

…………

…………

Although Capello made appropriate adjustments at half-time and brought Montella on the pitch shortly after half-time, adopting a three-striker configuration on the pitch and a frequent forward Totti, Roma can be said to have put all their attacking power on the table.

But Ye Qiu also made decisive adjustments, on the one hand, using Keita and Abidal, De Jong and Heitinga who came on as a substitute for Van der Meyde, these two wing combinations protect the left and right sides respectively, Gilberto? Silva and Sneijder were in the middle to protect the defence.

Such a defensive combination strangled the attack of Rome's two wings to the maximum, and at the same time suppressed Rome's advance in the middle, so that Rome, which was not good at positional warfare, completely extinguished, but it was Ajax's Ibrahimovic and Robben in front of the two players who frequently created threatening counterattacks.

However, no one could score again in the entire second half, and in the end, Ajax defeated Serie A giants Roma 2-0 away with two first-half goals.

It was not the first time that the Stadio Olimpico erupted in boos at the Stadio Olimpico when the whistle blew at the end of the game, and even many extreme Roma fans have personally attacked several black players inside Ajax.

In this regard, Ye Qiu secretly remembered it and decided to let the club file a complaint against UEFA after the game, and let Roma apologize anyway.

"Hello, Gabriel!"

Ye Qiu smiled and greeted the Argentine center Batistuta who was about to walk out of the court with his head down.

This is a player he admired very much in his previous life, and he believes that the vast majority of fans of his age in China will not dislike the god of war Barty.

Before the game, due to the identities of both sides, he didn't choose to set close, but after the game, he wanted to get to know each other.

Autographing or something is too self-defeating, so he won't do it, just just to know and say a few words.

"Hello!" Batistuta nodded to the young Ajax manager, he was really surprised by the youth of the opponent, and if he and his teammates had been a little contemptuous of Ye Qiu and Ajax before, then the defeat in this game was undoubtedly the most painful lesson for them.

"You've done a great job of defending with your goals, especially that high defender, a very troublesome guy!" Batistuta had a helpless expression on his face, and he was talking about Lucio.

Ye Qiu smiled, when it was one-on-one, Lucio's ability would definitely not disappoint anyone.

"I hope to have the opportunity to talk to you, I'm a fan of yours and love to watch your games!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Batistuta is in a very low mood right now, because his team has lost and he himself is acting like a mess, so he barely cheers up, "Xie Lu Xie, I hope I have a chance!" ”

Watching Batistuta's back disappear into the player's tunnel, Ye Qiu was a little embarrassed, he was now supported by a desire for the championship, once Rome won the championship, this fighting spirit began to slacken, and Batistuta's state at that time would decline rapidly, so this season is the most embarrassing afterglow of the god of war Batty.

It's a pity that Ye Qiu is playing the role of stopping the God of War at this time.

"I guess there should be a lot of Barty fans scolding me in China at this moment, right?" Ye Qiu thought with a wry smile in his heart, but he wouldn't feel entangled in this, because he had his own dreams and goals.

Although Capello looks fierce and majestic, in fact, he is a very personable person.

At least, in this game, his team lost to Ye Qiu's Ajax, but he still took the initiative to come to the away team's coach's seat after the game. Harms and a group of other members of the Ajax coaching staff shook hands and talked for a while.

During the conversation, Capello praised Ye Qiu and Ajax more, especially several players in the Ajax team, such as Ibrahimovic, Gilberto? Silva and Lucio, as well as the most dangerous Arjen Robben and Donny van der Meyde, all showed impressive quality in this game.

"You are a young, but full of energy and potential, keep up the good work!" Capello shook hands with Ye Qiu again and gave him his wishes.

"Xie Lu Xie, I also firmly believe that you will be able to lead your team to the top of Serie A this season!" Ye Qiu smiled and gave his blessings, and his tone was very confident, which to Capello's ears, was confidence in himself.

Looking at Ye Qiu deeply, Capello smiled faintly, walked back to the coach's seat of the home team, and returned to the locker room with his assistants, this was the first time he laughed from beginning to end, and it also made Ye Qiu feel that this guy seemed serious, but he was quite friendly when he laughed.

The Roma fans in the stands are still aggressively attacking the victorious Ajax, as if they are reprimanding this team that does not know the current affairs, and they are actually wild on their own turf, so they can't beat the opponent on the field, so they have to completely suppress the opponent in the stands, and drown this group of damn Ajax with saliva, which is also a good choice!

Ye Qiu and the players are well aware of the troubles of the fans in Rome City, so Ye Qiu restrained the players and did not provoke and fight back, anyway, the game was won, and the rest was left to the club and UEFA to deal with, and he led the team back to the locker room from the player's tunnel where debris fell like snowflakes.
