Chapter 17 Debut(1/2)
"What a bad luck!"
Under a black umbrella, Ye Qiu came out of his head and looked at the dizzy sky above his head, which was raining.
Not big, but it's enough to mess with people!
"I encountered this kind of weather in the first game, so I'll take it!" Ye Qiu didn't expect that his second team debut would be like this.
Ricklink was used to it, "The winter in the Netherlands is rainy, so it's good to get used to it. If you go to England, you will definitely be more depressed than here. The weather there will definitely drive you crazy!"
Ye Qiu smiled. He learned about the weather in England in many reports in his previous life. It was across the English Channel. I didn’t expect that the winter in the Netherlands turned out to be so much rain. I was really depressed to think about it.
Then he swept the stands behind him. There were only about ten umbrellas, one of which was Huang Chu.
"Our second team was born by Xiao Mom, and the fans didn't like it!" Ye Qiu was depressed. He had thought that Ajax valued youth training and that many people should have watched the second team's game. Now he found out that there were still three or two kittens, which was depressing enough.
"If the weather is good, there will probably be about a hundred, but who would like to see this kind of weather? I guess those are parents or friends who are also players!" Ricklink was still used to this.
Those who do youth training do not have a good attitude and will not last long.
In this game, Ajax II met NEC Nijmegen II. This is also a century-old team in the Netherlands, but youth training is relatively average, so the rankings are relatively middle- and lower in the Youth League One.
Ye Qiu still arranged the traditional 433 formation of Ajax in this game, but the specific division of labor has been changed and adjusted.
The goalkeeper did not make any changes, but Abidal and Hetinga were arranged on the back line by him. Hetinga played against the central defender, and Abidal was arranged on the left back position by him. This is also a signal for Ye Qiu to change and adjust the defense line.
The right back of this game was a Dutch boy named Van Drew. He was not tall, but fast and flexible.
The midfield is still in a triangle position, De Jong and Maduro dragged behind, Sneider broke forward, and on the right is a black player named Kuruel who performed well in the second team before. He heard that he had transferred from the club Ajax in Cape Town, and Van der Fate still appeared in the left winger position he is familiar with.
Hunter Larl is the one who leads the front line.
It can be said that Ye Qiu's starting lineup fully utilizes his own team and lineup, but on a certain basis he added some players from the original second team. After all, the elites from the original second team have been transferred to the first team, and some have been loaned out. For example, Van der Mede was rented to Twente, so he simply chose young players directly.
In this 433 formation, Ye Qiu adjusted the task. Van der Fate's position no longer pressed against the opponent's defense line, but retracted, taking more backward attacks and cutting in to the middle, while Kuru and Van der Ruhr formed the offensive cooperation on the right, among which Van der Ruhr was relatively high and took on more intrusion assists.
When the right back is in the attack, Abidal's position should be appropriately reduced to the center, changing the defense line into a three-back system, and adding De Jong and Maduro in front is enough to ensure the firmness of Ajax's defense line.
This is the case in theory, but in fact, this effect may not be achieved, because the players' tacit cooperation, overall cooperation, and the players' awareness and ability in running, assisted defense, and fill-up are required.
Many times, it still takes more time to practice.
But as always, Ye Qiu's request to the team is still pushing the ball forward as quickly as possible and touching the ball as much as possible. All players should run actively.
To this end, at the pre-match tactical meeting, he specially instilled a new game concept into the players.
"From the first second of the game, everyone must concentrate all their energy on the game. Every move, every move, every pass of your game must serve the game, and must have obvious purpose, and I can point out four points to you in this purpose!"
"One, ball rights, two, space, three, teammates, four, opponent!"
"I hope you all can remember it in the game and ask yourself all the time, why do I pass this ball? Why do I run here? Why do I do this action?"
"I believe that when you can do it, every move in the game has a purpose that meets these four requirements, you will become a very successful top professional player!"
This is some of his recent gains from Sakchi's book. Although he is emphasizing the game, he will emphasize this point in training, striving to make players closest to the actual combat requirements in every training, so that they can use it like arms and fingers in the game.
And he finally began to understand that if his 11 players' every move on the court had a purpose that meets these four requirements, then he had absolutely reason to believe that this would become a strong team, an invincible strong team.
This was also his first time, he had really found the way to train a strong team.
…………
…………
The right side is the source of the offensive arranged by Ye Qiu, but Ajax started off as a left side.
Van der Fate's technical and personal abilities are indeed excellent. As a left-footed player, he received a pass from the backcourt at the beginning of the game. After getting rid of a defensive player on the left, he passed the ball into the penalty area.
But unfortunately, before Hunteral grabbed the spot, the ball was cleared by Nijmegen's central defender.
However, this attack also sounded the clarion call and confidence of Ajax's attack. After all, the second team has to beat the opponent in terms of strength, and it is fighting at its own home court. How could he be polite to the opponent?
It was raining, and the grass and the ball were relatively slippery, and the Ajax players advocated touching the ball with one kick, resulting in many mistakes.
The previous 20 minutes of the game looked more like a turnover show between the two teams.
The game was in the 23rd minute of the bumps and bumps, and Ajax took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the court.
Van der Fate took the ball on the left, attracting pressure from the defensive players, and saw that he could not break through, and passed it to Sneijder. After getting the ball, he passed it straight to the opponent's penalty area before the opponent double-teamed.
After Sneider passed the ball, Hunterlaer was ready to go. He saw the ball's situation and used his body to block the defender behind him. He gently waved his right leg and swept his right instep towards the incoming ball.
The ball hit the back of Hunterla's right foot, turned a little in a direction, almost against the right post, and drilled into the opponent's goal. It was very simple and clean, but the ball entered!
When Hunteral shot, his body was squeezed by the opponent's defender, lost balance and fell to the ground, covered in water, but when he saw the ball fall into the opponent's goal line, he immediately smiled. This was his first goal for Ajax.
"Good job, big man!" Van der Fate walked over and pulled Hunterlaer up.
No matter who scores the goal, it is a good thing to score or win.
"You kid should imitate the way you played us before, and scored five or six goals in one go!" Sneijder also came over and congratulated Hunterla on his goal. Obviously he still remembered the game he met Grafsharp in the B2 team.
Hunterlaer smiled awkwardly. He just hoped to play hard and perform hard to prove his strength in front of coach Ajax and scouts, so that the team he liked would notice him. Not to mention, Ye Qiu came to the door soon.
Thinking of this, Hunteral couldn't help but look at the sidelines and found that Ye Qiu had walked to the sidelines at some point. He gave him a thumbs up, "Good job, beautiful entry!"
This made Hunterlaer feel a little satisfied for no reason.
In his opinion, this represents the head coach's affirmation of his efforts and goals.
But Ye Qiu stayed outside for a while, and after the game started again, he returned to the coach's seat.
"This kid has solid basic skills, has a stable stoppage, and has a very accurate judgment on the ball path. He is a natural killer!" Ricklink is called Hawkeye. He has a good impression of the two players introduced by Ye Qiu, especially Hunter Lar.
As a forward, although shooting, talent, speed and other things are important, stopping the ball is also very important, because you can't even stop the ball well, how can you perform the next action?
Yes, there are also some top forwards who are not good at stopping the ball, but if you find it carefully, it is not difficult to notice that those forwards who are not good at stopping the ball have great efficiency, which is a bit similar to the nerve knife, but those forwards who are excellent at stopping the ball are often more efficient and more stable.
There is no way to say which one is better or which one is not good. Since existence is reasonable, the key is to rely on the choice!
"I'm still losing weight in my body, and I'm not confrontational!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.
"I'm only 16 years old, and I still have a lot of time!" Roland felt that this shouldn't be a problem.
The current group of second-team players are indeed young, only 15 or 16 years old. It will take at least three years to make them play the role of a pillar in the first team.
…………

Sometimes, a football match is difficult to start with.
With the first goal, the situation opened up. Ajax, who had the initiative, began to become more confident, and his strength was becoming smoother and smoother, which naturally dominated the situation on the court.
In the 41st minute, Kuruel and Van Drew cooperated on the right, used their speed to break through the opponent's defense and then made a cross from the bottom. Hunterlaer made a pick-through from the front. Van der Fate was like a slippery loach in the crowd. He drilled into the opponent's goal, faced Hunterlaer's pass and gently paddled his left foot.
The ball was then put into the opponent's goal by Van der Fate, and the goalkeeper of Nijmegen II could not even react.
2:0!
Ajax, who scored consecutive goals, looked very happy, and they all looked extremely excited.
But unfortunately, there were no fans in the stands at the home court of the second team. The only one who could respond to their goals was the sound of increasing rain.
But at this moment, Ye Qiu walked out of the coach's seat again, walked to the sidelines, applauding vigorously. He himself was still very young. He knew some of the thoughts of young people and knew that young people like to be affirmed and encouraged. So sometimes when facing these young people, he wanted to be kind and powerful, and blindly adopted a policy of suppression, and in the end he might not be able to achieve good results.
With a 2:0 score, they returned to the locker room and the players changed into a uniform provided by Adidas.
"You all did a good job in the first half!" Ye Qiu waited until everyone was ready before he began to summarize and arrange.
"But I want to talk about a few questions. First of all, our midfielder does not put too much pressure on the opponent at the front of the penalty area. De Jong and Maduro should be more active and proactive in oppressing, but remember to make the moves cleaner!"
For De Jong, Ye Qiu certainly would not forget the things he did in his previous life, but he is now Ajax's coach, and De Jong is a player who is optimistic about Ajax. Naturally, he could not have issued a ban on De Jong because of some things in his previous life, so he wanted to reinstill some defensive ideas for him.
"Also, our ball speed is not fast enough. I said, we have to pull the rhythm up. They are used to playing in slow rhythm. We pull the rhythm quickly and hit the slower. This is our advantage!"
"But no matter what, I'm very satisfied with your performance in the first half, but I believe you can do better!"
Ye Qiu's request and emphasis made Ajax's midfield pressure tough in the second half, and the coverage area of the double midfielder was larger, giving strong pressure to Nijmegen II's midfield. Once the ball was intercepted successfully, the ball was transferred to the side and the attack was launched from the side.
This set of tactical strategies helped Ajax quickly establish an advantage in the situation and score in the second half.
Hunterlaer won another goal for Ajax team 2 in the 52nd minute of the second half, rewriting the score to 3:0.
Afterwards, the game was in the 58th minute, Sneijder used Van der Fate's cross and shot angrily at the front of the penalty area, expanding the score to 4:0 for Ajax again.
But just when Ajax was in a state of great spirit, Abidal was pulled by the referee for a small move and showed the second yellow card of the game, which turned into a red card, and was sent out. Nijmegen also got a penalty kick, and the opponent's forward took the penalty and hit it, 4:1!
The advantage that Ajax team, which had one less player to fight, was quickly equalized by the opponent, especially when one less player, although it was still able to barely maintain the situation, it was not easy to gain another advantage.
In the end, the game ended with Ajax defeating his opponent 4:1.
Ye Qiu felt that Abidal's foul was unnecessary, but he could understand that Abidal had played in the amateur league before. It is undoubtedly impossible for anyone to ask such a player from a wild ball to have a good professional and tactical qualities in just one week.
Therefore, in the locker room after the game, he only gave reminders and advice to Abidal's unnecessary foul, but did not punish him at all, but continued to give him patience and help.
…………
…………
When Ye Qiu led the team back to the locker room on the ground floor of the stands, Waters also watched the whole process of the game in front of the window of the coach's office on the second floor of the first-team training building with a barbed wire.
4:1!
He was not surprised by this score, because Ajax's youth training strength is absolutely unquestionable.
