Chapter 105 New Van Basten

Tactics are always moving forward. Although everyone says that there is no strongest tactic, only the most appropriate tactic, it is a comparison based on the same era and environment.

The tactics in 2013 must be more rigorous and holistic than the tactics in 2001, and even more efficient and stricter than at any time in football history, and have higher requirements for coordinated operations.

Just like Barcelona in this game, Cruyvit and Rivaldo in front are basically waiting for the ball in front. Their duty is offense, and defense is never their responsibility. Needless to say, Cruyvit is a Brazilian who has to resist even if he is put on the wing by Van Gaal. Will he be willing to participate in the defense?

Ovemas and Louis Enrique are both wingers, and they occasionally have a little defense, but they just have a fake shot. As long as they pass their defense zone, they don't care what you do.

This is a bit like Real Madrid in the first phase of the Galaxy Battleships. Didn’t anyone say that at that time? Real Madrid only has one Marclayle and Raul defending in the midfield, because there are too many offensive players, which leads to an imbalance in offense and defense.

Just imagine, Barcelona's defense relies more on six people, Guardiola, Koku, Debor, Rezig, Puyol and Sergi, but Ajax's defense starts with the striker, who has the advantage?

When Ajax successfully pushed the defense line forward and successfully suppressed Barcelona, ​​they invested more people in the offense. Ibrahimovic, Robben and Van der Mede all suppressed Barcelona's defense line, and Sneider and Keita were behind them.

In other words, when Barcelona defended, they basically defended 6 and 5 in the middle and backcourts, not including Mecon and Lucio who often participated in the offense. This made Barcelona fall into a slump when they were suppressed by Ajax and immediately became in a difficult position and defended very embarrassedly, because their frontcourt offensive players did not actively return to defense.

One is loose and the other is rigorous. Don’t think too much about who is more effective.

So, when Sneider got Keita's pass next to Koku, there were no defensive players around him. Barcelona's loose defensive formation gave him enough opportunities, especially the loopholes in the defense line. He could see clearly and directly punched the ball sharply, tearing through Barcelona's defense line.

Robben had a counterattack like a wind-like speed, and he rushed along the left side quickly. Puyol struggled to chase behind and blocked Robben's inside. In this way, even if Robben got the ball, he could not directly cut into the penalty area and could only pass it.

The Dutch winger was very fast, especially with his explosive power in an instant, and he directly threw away Puyol, easily stopped the ball from the left side of Barcelona's penalty area, and made a cross without thinking.

Barcelona's defense line includes more defenders such as Rezig, Debord and Sergi. They are very close to Puyol and are more brave, but their height is a huge flaw. This is also to cater to Barcelona's offensive style, they prefer to control ground balls.

But when this type of player encounters a player who is more than ten centimeters taller than them, the pressure is naturally very high, so Rezig and De Boer are almost inseparable from the Swedes and left and right.

Ibrahimovic is a very smart guy, even cunning. He saw Robben sprinting on the left and saw Barcelona's young goalkeeper Reina leaning to the left, obviously guarding Robben to cut inward, so he did not lean on the left, but ambushed in the penalty area and the penalty spot on the right.

In order to meet Puyor, Rezig had to set a distance from Ibrahimovic. Debol was blocked by the Swedes in several battles with Ibrahimovic. Just when Debol wanted to go around in front of Ibrahimovic, he suddenly found that the Swedes suddenly rushed into the small penalty area.

The distance was so close that Ibrahimovic suddenly started again. Debord was caught off guard and was a little surprised and immediately followed.

Robben and Ibrahimovic have been working together for a year, and they have long had a tacit understanding of their own. When Robben saw that Ibrahimovic did not come to pick him up, he knew that he had two choices, either pass the post and find Ibrahimovic, or stop and knock back and knock on Keita who was inserted.

This time, he chose to pass the back point.

The Swedes have excellent physical fitness, and they happened to block Debol behind him before, so once they started, Debol could not compete with Ibrahimovic. In addition, everyone in Sweden has a tall horse and a long thigh. As soon as they entered the small penalty area, they faced Robben's cross and landed the ball. They rushed forward quickly, stretched their right foot, slid, and directly stabbed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal.

Reina realized that something was wrong at the moment Robben crossed, but when he realized it, Ajax's ball had already entered, and he could only stand there in amazement, silently watching Ibrahimovic, who had fallen in the small penalty area after competing with Debor, lost his balance.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"

"The ball is in!!" The commentator on the scene shouted loudly.

"The key score at a critical moment comes from Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic's shot in front of the goal!"

"The first half just started. In less than 9 minutes, Ajax took the lead in breaking Barcelona's goal, a very fast counterattack and a very impactful attack. This goal completely broke the deadlock on the court!"

After scoring the goal, Ibrahimovic quickly climbed up from the turf in the penalty area, waved his right hand constantly, and rushed to Robben on the left. The latter had already opened his arms with laughter, and kept retreating. At the corner flagpole, the two hugged each other tightly.

Ajax's Keita, Sneider, Van der Mede, Gilberto Silva and other players rushed over and surrounded the two goal-scoring heroes. The Ajax fans in the stands stood up directly from their seats. Some fans were even more excited to take off their jerseys and cheered loudly.

The live TV camera shot all the scene, and at the same time, it also scanned the expressions of the two head coaches on the sidelines.

Ferrer seemed to be furious, and kept vocabulary in his mouth, while Ye Qiu laughed and shouted loudly, constantly celebrating with the assistants around him and the players on the bench.

Through slow motion, everyone can clearly see the scene of the goal just now. From different angles, you can see that there is no problem with this goal. From Robben's counter-offside to Ibrahimovic's goal-snatching point, this is a very beautiful goal.

"Oh my god, it's really unbelievable. Before the game, everyone thought that Ajax would choose to show weakness in this game and use defense to deal with Barcelona's offense. But what they didn't expect was that the Dutch team actually chose to fight head-on, and not long after the game started, they took the lead in breaking Barcelona's goal!"

"It's so surprising. Ye Qiu's targeted tactical arrangement surprised everyone. Ferrer and his team were completely played with and applauded by this young Chinese. Now it depends on whether he has enough ability to reverse the current unfavorable situation in Barcelona!"

Amid the cheers of the fans in the Ajax stands, Ajax's players returned to the stadium one after another.

When Ibrahimovic passed by Debor and Rezig, it was obvious that he didn't have to look at these two former Ajax seniors, because there was still a fire in his heart that he wanted to explode the revenge of an arrow at the beginning of the season.

"Many people say that Ibrahimovic's performance this season has made everyone's eyes shine. Ajax fans regard him as the most talented center after Van Basten. Van Basten, who currently works in Ye Qiu's coaching staff, also believes that Ibrahimovic has the talent and potential to become a top center."

"We can see from the game that the characteristics of the Swedes are different from those of Van Basten. He has a wider range of control, a more delicate sense of the ball, a very steady ball, and a more agile use of strength and body. Van Basten is better in center skills, goal-front skills and consciousness, much higher than Ibrahimovic now."

"Of course, we must also admit that Ibrahimovic is still very young and he still has such a great career prospect. If he continues to follow his current trends and progress, he may have a chance to catch up with his seniors in Ajax!"

…………

…………

Sometimes, scoring too early may not be a good thing.

Just like Ajax now scored an early goal, but he began to have a conservative mood.

This is a natural, unconscious emotion.

The opponent is too strong and famous, so powerful that even the Ajax players themselves are a little worried about whether they can beat them, so when they finally scored a goal, they inevitably have an emotion.

I want to hold on to this leading goal!

Sometimes, this kind of emotion is terrible, and even Ye Qiu is a little affected by this emotion.

He was under too much pressure, so he felt that if he didn't win this game, he didn't know what to do. So, after scoring the goal, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and thought, how great it would be if the game ended like this.

But Ajax was a little worried about gains and losses and began to feel conservative, but there was no way out in Barcelona.

As a giant in La Liga, they were so embarrassed by Ajax at the beginning that they had no choice but to choose to attack wildly because they could not defend at all!

One side relaxes, the other side is determined, and the situation reverses!

If Ajax had an absolute advantage in the first 10 minutes, then their youth and their lack of experience made them slack off after scoring a goal, resulting in a stalemate from the 10th to the 25th minute. After 25 minutes, Ajax began to be at a disadvantage and Barcelona began to improve.

In the Godfather's training system, Ye Qiu's on-site command was piled up by him until 76 o'clock, which was already very high. In addition, he has accumulated a certain amount of experience in the past year on the three fronts of Eredivisie, Dutch Cup and League Cup, so he has developed his sense of smell and reaction in the game very quickly.

Once Barcelona turned the situation around, Ye Qiu immediately realized the problems that had occurred on his side.

"I'll just leave, it's too conservative!" Ye Qiu complained a little about his anxiety and loss.

Of course, this is his initiative to take responsibility, otherwise the same will be true for the players. Even in the coaching staff, there are many people who think the same as him. After all, this is a subconscious collective behavior.

Ye Qiudi stood up from the coach's seat, walked to the sidelines, and shouted loudly to the players, "Don't retreat, suppress me, and completely suppress their attacks. Do you understand? Press them down!"

The role of the head coach is more reflected in the fact that when players are worried about gains and losses, he can achieve the final result.

After being turned around by Barcelona, ​​pressed and hit for a while, and achieved two very threatening shots, Ajax finally made a sharp counterattack.

The entanglement from Van der Mede from the right allowed Sergi to pass the ball to Debor. Ibrahimovic tightly wrapped around Debor, intercepted the ball and passed it to the left. Robben used his body to grab the ball before Puyol and entered the penalty area. However, Puyol blocked Robben's right side, not giving the Dutch winger the opportunity to cut in and kick.

Robben couldn't hold back and could only shoot before the ball went out of the baseline. The ball hit Puyol's leg and turned it out of the baseline and corner kick.

A counterattack was enough to shock Barcelona, ​​reminding this giant team that Ajax was not easy to mess with.

This counterattack has also curbed Barcelona's momentum of mad attack, and the game scene has gradually returned to dullness.

This is also impossible. Ajax finally pulled up the rhythm before the game, but after scoring the goal, it was gradually slowed down. Now he wants to speed up again. After half an hour of the game, can the players' physical fitness be satisfied? Moreover, Barcelona has already arranged Ajax's tactics. Can speed up again achieve results?

"Van der Mede's condition is very average today!" Ye Qiu shook his head and sighed.

Van der Mede's performance this season is indeed very eye-catching and amazing, but when the season is approaching, he seems to have reached a trough in this game. This probably has something to do with Ye Qiu's use of him, because he no longer stands in front of the opponent's defense line like before, but wants to support Maicon.

Sergi and Ovemas, Barcelona's left offense was very sharp. The two players suppressed Ajax's two right players on this side, which also led to Van der Mede almost like an invisible man in the first half, only seeing him in defense a few times.

"Rivaldo is now frequently pulling to the left to get the ball. Once Barcelona plays on the left, the game situation will be even more unfavorable to us!" Bobby Hams also reminded from the side.

What Rivaldo is best at catching the ball outside the penalty area, and then relying on his own powerful skills, concise and practical extraordinary and ability to get rid of the defensive players, he either directly kicks the ball or passes assists to the forwards. In this season's Barcelona offensive system, Rivaldo and Cruivit have had several clever cooperations of two and one over one.

Speaking of offense, Barcelona's offensive ability is beyond doubt, and Ye Qiu dares not underestimate this at all.

Ajax's advantage lies in its impact force, using fast pace and concise passes and reception to tear open Barcelona's defense line, while Barcelona's advantage is to push the ball into the frontcourt through two sides, and then use the star's personal abilities to complete the final attack.

Therefore, the suppression of the two sides is very important.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu waved his hand and signaled the players on the field to appropriately retract and keep the three lines compact, especially on the wing road, to firmly suppress Barcelona's wing road advancement, especially Ovimas, who is active on the left.

After adjusting the strategy, Ajax's defense was consolidated to a certain extent, and Barcelona's offense was restricted, especially Ajax completely isolated Cruyvit and Rivaldo from Barcelona's overall tactical system, forcing Barcelona's offense to become lost again.

No matter how active the side road is, it always depends on the connection and connection of the middle road, otherwise, the side road will not be threatened.

"Ajax obviously reacted. Ye Qiu's tactical adjustments restrained Barcelona's offense, but now the tactics of both teams have made the situation a little boring. At least compared to the fast-paced offense and defense in the first ten minutes of the game, what we see now is like a turtle jogging, which is very depressed!"

The on-site commentator joked about the tactics of the two teams.

But there is nothing we can do about this. When Ye Qiu is not ready to speed up the pace and attack again, the best and safest way is to actively defend and counterattack, and first ensure that the 1:0 lead is not broken by Barcelona, ​​that is serious.

There is no way, but he will rashly adopt a reckless approach, which will eventually make the team uncontrolled and suffer a catastrophe. This is a method that no head coach will choose.

Ferrer also knew that Ajax's counterattack was sharp, so he did not dare to invest too much in the offense. But just as the 40th minute of the game entered, Barcelona suddenly pushed forward, and even two central defenders De Poor and Rezig actively stepped forward to participate in the midfield ball control system.

The central defender stepped forward, causing Guardiola and Cocu to follow him, and Barcelona's formations moved forward together.

In the 42nd minute, Barcelona launched an attack from the left. Ovemas attracted Ajax's defensive attention and stopped and knocked back to Koku. The latter shot from a long shot, causing goalkeeper Grim to escape. There was a lot of battle in the penalty area. Lucio stood at the position and failed to clear the ball immediately after getting the ball. Cruyvert suddenly intercepted the ball successfully and hit the ball across the front of the small penalty area.

Rivaldo had been ambushing in the penalty area for a long time. When he saw Cruivet taking advantage of the chaos to make a sneak attack, he inserted his left foot and shot through Grim's goal, 1:1!

"In the 42nd minute of the first half, Barcelona finally equalized the score. This was a loss caused by Ajax's own mistake. It was really regrettable because they could have entered the midfield with the lead!"
