Before the whistle blew for the start of the game, the Arena Stadium had already turned into a sea of water.

The surging fans were like the waves of the choppy English Channel, constantly beating on the hearts of everyone on the scene, generating a very intimidating momentum and pressure.

If the team that Ajax hated the most in the past was Feyenoord, then in the past few years, they must have hated PSV Eindhoven the most, because it was this team that brought them one nightmare defeat after another.

"Many people used to say that PSV Eindhoven used to be a huge shadow on Ajax's heart, they were difficult to take advantage of Eindhoven, and even lost face at the Arena Stadium, but in the past two years, it seems that the situation is the other way around, and Ajax has become a nightmare for PSV Eindhoven."

"Ye Qiu has never lost to PSV since he led the Ajax second team to participate in the Dutch Cup, defeated PSV Eindhoven for the first time, and completely defeated PSV Eindhoven, who was ambitious to create a double title."

"According to sources, the main purpose of the Eindhoven leadership to invite Hiddink this time is to be able to overthrow the Ajax dynasty established by Ye Qiu and push Ajax off the throne, and this game is undoubtedly a crucial start."

The camera pans around the Arena Stadium, looking at the stands on all four sides of the stadium, which is full of people, and the Ajax fans make up the vast majority of them, creating a momentum that will sweep the whole stadium and simply want to swallow the visitors.

"In the Arena game, PSV Eindhoven's players have to be a little tougher, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to play normally!"

The on-site commentator laughed and teased, and as the camera turned, it fell to the position of the away team's coach's seat.

"This is the new head coach hired by PSV Eindhoven this season, local coach Guus Hiddink, who has just led the South Korean team to miraculously reach the semi-finals of the World Cup in the World Cup, and is now the most popular head coach in world football, and also the hope of Eindhoven fans."

Soon, the camera fell to the front of the home team's coach's box.

"This is the head coach of Ajax, Ye Qiu, a 28-year-old Chinese head coach this year, he has been at Ajax for three years, and in the first year, he led the Ajax second team to make history to win the Dutch Cup, and although he lost the league championship in the second year, the double of the League Cup and the Dutch Cup is also full of weight."

"But what really made Ye Qiu famous was last season, Ajax relied on his strong strength, in the European Champions Cup, he broke through two rounds of group stage, invinciblely reached the semi-finals of the Champions Cup, and finally lost to the champions of Real Madrid, but Ajax won the league championship and the Dutch Cup in a row at home, and became the double champion again."

"Many media believe that Ye Qiu is a talented young coach, young but talented, but Ajax has gone two midfield core players this season, although the pre-season warm-up performance is very eye-catching, but no one knows what to do, when it comes to the official game, will Ye Qiu's team be able to continue to maintain the excellent performance of last season?"

While the on-site commentator was speaking, the referee finally blew the whistle for the start of the game.

…………

Hius Hiddink was running out of time when he arrived at PSV Eindhoven, but he did bring in two stars from his former South Korea international squad, Lee Young-pyo and Park Ji-sung.

In this game against Ajax, both players qualified to start.

The goalkeeper is Watrus, the backline is Lee Young-pyo, Hovland, Faber and Oye, the midfield is Park Ji-sung, Van Bommel, Warger and Romedahl, and the forward duo is Kezman and Heselink.

is different from Ye Qiu's previous life, because Robben has been taken by Ajax in advance, so PSV Eindhoven does not have too good options on the left side, Hiddink uses two South Korean players to play on the left side, and Romerdal on the right side has always been Eindhoven's most threatening offensive line.

Ajax's starting line-up was also different from last season, with goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, Abidal, Kifu, Lucio and McCone at the back, Arteta, De Jong and Sneijder in midfield, and Robben, Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart in the trident.

The most obvious difference is in the midfield, without Gilberto? Silva and Seydoux? Keita, replaced by Mikel Arteta and Frenkie de Jong, is a concern for Ajax's midfield, after all, the two departed midfielders have already been tested in the Eredivisie and Europe, but the two new signings are yet to be convincing.

Hiddink's starting tactics are still the same as all teams dealt with Ajax last season, tightening three lines, playing steadily, waiting for opportunities to counterattack, and according to media reports, and judging from the situation of PSV Eindhoven's pre-season warm-up games, PSV Eindhoven's attack is still focused on playing on the wing.

The two-striker is somewhat similar to Liverpool under Houllier, with a tall, strong centre-forward acting as a meat shield and attacking the opposition's defence, creating opportunities for the quicker and more agile Kezman.

What people didn't expect was that Ajax not only took all the areas vacated by Eindhoven after recycling, showing aggressive momentum, but also gave Eindhoven a painful blow from the beginning.

As soon as the whistle blew, Ibrahimovic passed the ball to Robben, who knocked back to Kiv, but everyone in the Ajax midfield was already rushing forward quickly, and after Kiv stopped the ball, he looked up and picked up his left foot and made a long pass.

I saw Van der Vaart rushing forward quickly on the right side, and the fast Dutchman shook off the South Korean player Lee Young-pyo in an instant, who was startled by Van der Vaart's sudden impact when he first arrived, reacted, and wanted to catch up again, but saw that Van der Vaart had raised his foot to unload the ball and quickly rushed to the penalty area.

Hovland kept chasing behind him, Van der Vaart made a feint, deceived Hovland into thinking that he was going to go to the bottom, and hurriedly blocked, but Van der Vaart suddenly knocked on his heel, he seemed to have eyes behind him, the ball was knocked by his heel, knocked back to the front of the penalty area, Sneijder just slapped the horse to catch up, and the ball was directly a heavy shot.

Wotrus made a save, but he couldn't reach it, and could only watch the ball go into the net, 1:0!

"Oh my God, the ball went in !!!" The on-site commentator was dumbfounded.

Not only him, but everyone in the entire Arena stadium was stunned.

At that moment, the stadium seemed to turn into a dead silence, followed by a frenzied venting and celebration.

"Just opened, less than 20 seconds later, no, only 17 seconds, Ajax took the lead in the Eindhoven goal, it was a very, very sudden and fast attack, Kifu found Van der Vaart with a long pass from the backfield, South Korean player Lee Young-pyo was not attentive enough and missed Van der Vaart."

'It was amazing, a lightning goal, and Ajax took the lead!'

The Ajax players rushed out of the stadium to celebrate, and Sneijder even raised his arms and knelt under the stadium stands, allowing his teammates to hug him, open his mouth and laugh non-stop.

It was a first for Ajax to break through PSV Eindhoven's goal just after the opening.

Ye Qiu also looked in a good mood on the sidelines, clapping his palms lightly, affirming the hard work of his players.

But Hiddink's expression was more bleak, and even South Korean President Kim Dae-jung, who was sitting in the stands at the Arena Stadium, accompanied by Ajax president Van Praag and Dutch government officials, looked embarrassed, because no one expected that the first appearance of their country's players on the Dutch field would leave the impression that it was a mistake.

It's clear, though, that Hiddink's nightmare isn't over yet.

PSV Eindhoven's opening tactics were defensive counter-attacks, Ajax's attack was very impactful, this was their most powerful weapon in the Europa League last season, with the wings of Robben, Van der Vaart, Hleb and Van der Meyde, plus Ibrahimovic's first-class center forward, and Huntelaar, Ajax's attack is very threatening.

Hiddink does not want to go head-to-head with Ajax, but prefers to adopt a strategy of stabilizing the defense, grinding off Ajax's sharpness, and then slowly trying to counterattack, which is also the strategy of many teams to deal with Ajax last season.

What I didn't expect was that Ajax's tactics suddenly changed this season.

One of the most noticeable changes was that when PSV Eindhoven pulled back three lines, Ajax did not hesitate to press the defence directly, but appeared more patient, with Mikel Arteta possessing the ball around 30 metres outside the PSV goal.

It's a very sensitive area, first of all he is behind the striker, but before the central midfielder, if you want to defend Arteta, either let the striker retreat, or let the central midfielder come forward, but if you let the striker retreat, it is equivalent to releasing a central defender, Ajax's two central defenders are good at long passes, the other is good at insertion, they are very threatening.

If the central midfielder comes forward, it will be even more dangerous, because no matter who Van Bommel or Worgher comes forward, Van der Vaart will cut from the right side as soon as possible, forming a corner with Sneijder, and Arteta must also pass to their feet at the first time, and the local area is two to one, Ajax's attack is creating a threat at any time.

But if you don't defend him, you can't let Arteta control the ball outside the 30-meter area, because controlling the ball in this area only requires one pass to be able to send the ball into a lethal position, and letting Ajax control the ball outside her own goal is equivalent to a stripped woman lying in front of a prostitute, ravaging whenever she wants.

"I really didn't expect that Ajax would now abandon the open-and-close impact play of the past in favor of a more nuanced possession strategy, which is somewhat surprising, and Arteta also has a lot of range of movement, unlike Sneijder, who is more in the 30-metre area, cruising behind Ibrahimovic, Van der Vaart and Rowe himself, Arteta is more of a role to carry on the past and the future."

De Jong sat in the midfield position, allowing Ajax's right wing-back McCone to dare to boldly insert to participate in the attack, and as soon as McCone pressed, Van der Vaart cut inside, allowing the whole right side to let go, and Ajax's two wings were very lively, and the middle was able to use the numerical advantage to put pressure on Eindhoven.

…………

…………

Hiddink couldn't sit still, so he could only walk out of the away team's dugout and stand on the sidelines, watching the game on the pitch with a frown.

There is a saying that is very true, it is better to see than to hear.

He had heard a lot about Ye Qiu and Ajax before, but that was more from the media from the newspapers and from reporters, and many of the games were also seen through live TV, so it was not as good as being there in person.

In less than ten minutes, Ajax gave him the feeling of amazement.

With the speed of the wind and the powerful impact, the goal just now completely suppressed Eindhoven's morale to the bottom.

It was a goal that looked simple, nothing more than a long pass from the back to attack, the player in front of him used his speed to win the ball and then hit the penalty area, attracting the attention of the defence and knocking back, at best, Van der Vaart's back-heel pass was full of imagination.

But in reality, in this goal, Hiddink saw much more.

Van der Vaart's combination of pace and skill is very good, and the Dutchman who is known as the new Cruyff is very good, and he works very well with his partner Sneijder, who knows very well that if he rushes forward, Sneijder will follow.

Sneijder, the player, was firmly nailed to the 30-meter area by Ye Qiu, this is not a casual move, his receiving and sending speed is too fast, almost every catch has been thought out of how to play in advance, he and Arteta have always maintained the closest distance, maintaining an interaction and echo.

This must be the tacit understanding and tactics that Ye Qiu deliberately created during training on weekdays, the two players have excellent ball protection skills, the ball is rarely lost at their feet, and the ability to get rid of it is very strong, coupled with their ability to play the ball, making them a vital part of Ajax's ball advancement.

But if it's just this link, Ajax's offense is not terrible, the middle is strong, and no matter how strong the ability is, it is very easy to defend.

A closer look at the routes of the two players reveals an interesting point, Sneijder's ball is more forward, or to Ibrahimovic, or to the two wingers, but basically he wants to pass behind him, or he passes back.

Arteta has very few return passes, about 1 out of 10 kicks, but 3 of them are for Sneijder or forward, and the rest are all side balls, which is a very interesting phenomenon, the two players have a very clear division of labor, and they are very tight and tightly connected to each other.

Arteta and Sneijder formed a clear division of possession in the middle of the midfield, and the players in front and behind and left and right all played actively without the ball around this area, which allowed Ajax to firmly get plenty of possession opportunities in front of PSV Eindhoven's defence after the opening.

On the other hand, PSV Eindhoven was cooperated by Ajax through passing and receiving the ball, constantly pulling, constantly creating holes in the defensive system, and soon exposed fatal holes.

In the 21st minute, Arteta got rid of Voger and played a straight pass to Sneijder, who got ahead of Van Bommel and crossed diagonally to the left, and Robben used his speed to get ahead of Oyer, and sent the ball low into the box with his left foot, just right between goalkeeper Wattrus and Ibrahimovic.

The Swedish center has been waiting for the opportunity here for a long time, as soon as the ball comes, he grabs the point directly, and the ball passes under the armpit of Watellus, 2:0!

For a moment, all the Ajax fans rushed out of their seats to cheer for the team's second goal.

Hiddink stood in front of the visitors' dugout, receiving the taunts and humiliation from the home fans in the stands, but he was helpless because he had to admit something.

"We still underestimate him!" Hiddink helplessly to his assistant Pym? Verbeck said.

Here he was obviously referring to Ye Qiu.

According to Hiddink's previous opinion of Ye Qiu, even if this person is excellent, he is only 28 years old, maybe his football concept is very good and advanced, but it is inevitable that there will be some congenital deficiencies, plus Gilberto left this summer? Silva and Seydoux? Keita's two Tiger generals, the players introduced are not famous, and the price is not high, so the strength should be weakened.

I have to say that this is a kind of habitual thinking of many people in Europe, that is, the value of players is reflected in the transfer fee to some extent, and they have always been reluctant to bring in high-level players at a low price, especially for a Dutch team like Ajax.

With the continuous development of informatization, there will be fewer and fewer so-called late bloomers, or talented stars who have never met talents.

What he didn't expect was that Ye Qiu lost two tiger generals, but he introduced Arteta, a skilled player, and then completely adjusted the entire tactics of Ajax, and now Ajax has begun to add more delicate control to the impact tactics of opening and closing in the past.

'We should make some adjustments and maybe it would be good to strengthen the midfield. Pym? Verbeck said.

Strengthening the midfield is the only option to weaken the attack, but changing tactics through substitutions in the first half will undoubtedly make everyone doubt Hiddink's prestige and tactical literacy, because it is tantamount to admitting that his starting tactics have failed completely.

"Let's wait and see!" Hiddink clearly prefers to stabilize the situation with adjustments on the pitch.

But at this time, after Van der Vaart received a pass from McConn, he took the initiative to play a one-two with Sneijder, and after plugging straight behind, Ibrahimovic suppressed Hovland with his body, volleyed with his right foot, and once again penetrated the goal guarded by Watrus.

In half an hour, Eindhoven's defense only lasted half an hour, and was poured into 3 goals by Ajax, which suddenly made the Ajax fans in the stands can't help but go crazy, what they saw was that Ajax pressed Eindhoven and beat him fat, and poured 3 goals into the opponent in a row.

"3:0, this game lost suspense early!"

Even the on-site commentators were disappointed with Eindhoven's debut in the new season.

It is indeed very disappointing that the battle that everyone expected turned into a one-sided slaughter at the end of the day, but it is clear that the Ajax players are not satisfied and the killing continues.
