Chapter 173 Two Goals Lead
"Damn Dutch, you're dead!!"
"Little devil, have you been weaned?"
"Get back to you Amsterdam, your mother calls you to go home for dinner!"
...
Before the game started, the stands at San Siro Stadium had become very lively.
Like all home team fans, AC Milan fans are using various methods to stimulate the away team players. In their words, the most important contribution of the fans is to be the best 12 players in the stands to make their opponents feel uncomfortable and even lose control.
Two teams have 22 players scattered on both sides of the court, and they are all waiting for the referee's whistle.
The booing and cursing sounds surged from the stands of the San Siro Stadium were obviously directed at the Ajax players on the field, so AC Milan players looked more relaxed, while Ajax players were a little bit overwhelmed.
"This group of bastards really want to slap them!" Ibrahimovic swept to the stands in anger. His impression of this group of fans was obviously very bad, and he could even say he hated him because they kept scolding and booing there since the Ajax player appeared. He was angry when anyone heard it.
"That's not simple?" Robben grinned at Ibrahimovic.
"I just said that, try the left first!" Sneider walked over slowly and said.
Van der Fati said that he heard it, stayed in the center circle, ready to kick off with Ibrahimovic, while Robben walked to the left. Because AC Milan did not have a right winger, he was like standing opposite Croatian defender Dario Simici.
Dario Simici, in the Ajax scouting system and Ye Qiu's comments, this player is relatively underestimated. His frontal defense ability is actually very strong, and Simici's famous position is in the center back, but Ancelotti wants to transform him into a right back.
Of course, it is understandable to make such a choice, because AC Milan is indeed short of people on the right, but the problem is that Simici is at the full-back position and can easily expose his flaws in speed and offense.
The middle and the wing are different. Playing as a defender in the middle is because the midfield defender is protected by midfielders, so you will not encounter situations where the opponent uses speed to break through, because as long as the defense depth is kept tight enough, the opponent's speed cannot be played out, but it is different on the wing. One-on-one can be created anytime and anywhere.
Simici had to chase back and turn around, but his speed was average, and his support for the offense was very small, making it difficult to perform when playing on the flanks. On the contrary, his performance was excellent in the middle.
Robben walked to the left and looked at the Croatian, wearing a No. 14 jersey, with a hairband on his head and a long hair, grinned and smiled slightly at him. The Croatian nodded politely back, but his attention never left Rother himself.
In Simici's mind, Robben is definitely a dangerous person. Ajax's most powerful attack is the attack on both sides, so before this game, Ancelotti focused on targeted defense on the wing.
In Ancelotti's words, as long as Ajax's wing cannot be hit, the offensive threat will be cut off half.
Seeing Robben jumping gently in front of his midline, constantly shaking his hands, as if he was warming up, Simici couldn't help but sweep into the middle circle, seeing that the referee's whistle was already in his mouth, and soon a crisp whistle sounded at the beginning of the game.
As soon as the whistle sounded, Simici turned his attention to the left immediately, but his first reaction was shocked, because almost the moment the whistle sounded, Robben rushed from the center line like a sharp arrow, quickly towards AC Milan's defense zone, and approaching at an extremely fast speed.
Simici was slightly stunned and immediately locked in the target again, but this time Robben had already rushed to him.
Turning around and chasing Robben to the bottom line was Simici's first reaction, because he had no idea what the opponent had to plan, nor did he know whether Ajax's midfielder could really pass the ball to Robben's feet.
But experience told him that he had to do this, otherwise, once the ball really came, it would be a fatal threat.
At this time, Robben's speed had already rushed up, and Simici's own speed was not as fast as Robben. In addition, Robben was soon thrown out of his position, but he was always chasing him.
Sometimes, fans tend to create an illusion.
On the football field, speed is actually a very empty definition. If calculated simply in seconds, the speed difference of 1 second is already very amazing, but when reflected on the football field, 1 second is just a matter of moments.
If we look at the data of FM football managers, Robben's speed and explosive power are at least 18, or even 19, while Simici's speed should be around 12. But in fact, when the two of them rushed to the bottom line at the same time, although one was in front and the other was in the back, they were only one position away. As long as Robben's speed was a little slower at this time, Simici immediately caught up.
So, to a certain extent, speed cannot help players defeat opponents on the football field. The key is how you use the little time you have won you for speed, even if it is only a few seconds.
Robben rushed forward quickly. After Arteta behind him got the ball, he passed it directly and hung the ball behind AC Milan's defense line. When the ball came, the Dutch Panther looked up at the ball's coming, predicted the landing point, and took advantage of his advantage in rushing ahead to stand the landing point in advance and take a kick.
The ball was picked up by Robben's left foot and bounced up again, but this time it was not towards the bottom line, but in the opposite direction.
Simici was startled by Robben's emergency stop and picked the ball. She forced a sudden brake, stabilizing her body, and trying to follow Robben. But after he stopped the sudden brake and finally stabilized his pace, Robben kicked the ball to the bottom line and quickly chased after him.
At this moment, Simici could only watch the Dutch pass by his side in despair.
The emergency stop acceleration, seemingly simple movements, and the skills that anyone can do, can be used to perfection under Robben's footsteps.
After Robben caught up with the ball again, he made a cross directly. Ibrahimovic in the middle quickly followed and grabbed the point in a direct contest with Nesta, but under Nesta's interference, he failed to hit the ball in the main part and was crooked.
The AC Milan fans at the entire San Siro Stadium were shocked by Ajax's threatening attack in less than 30 seconds after the opening. I was afraid that even the players on the court would feel scared because the speed was too fast!
"Ajax gave AC Milan a blow after the opening game. In less than 30 seconds, he got a very threatening shot in front of the goal. However, Nesta's return to the game was very good this time, forcing Ibrahimovic to barely take the kick. The ball slightly missed the baseline, but this shot was enough to wake AC Milan up!"
Seeing that an attack was not working, Ajax's players walked back, waiting for Dida to drive the goal, but they focused on setting the defense in the middle circle, obviously to continue their high-level defensive strategy.
Seeing Robben again, Simici was really a little shocked. He had thought that Robben would be very fast before, but he never thought that it would be so fast, especially at such a fast speed, his ability to control the ball and his own rhythm was almost knocked down by the Dutch just now.
Thinking of this, Simici looked at Robben with a little bit of fear, but more careful and more careful.
…………
…………
Each team has its own unique style, and each style has its own habitual game rhythm.
Some people like fast because the advantage of fast is that it is full of impact, but the disadvantage is that it is not easy to control, because everything is the same, and the control is weak when it is fast, just like Ajax last season, the offense is fast enough and has impact, but it is just that there is no control, and it is easy to lose control and consume too quickly.
AC Milan has four No. 10 players, Pirlo, Rui Costa, Sidov and Rivaldo, which are called Europe's most creative midfielder and the most luxurious artistic midfielder. However, to make this midfielder run better, it is necessary to keep the pace within a relatively slow range.
This AC Milan team is actually not strong. Because it is too slow, Ancelotti himself understands this very well, so he later won Rivaldo and Rui Costa and chose Kaka. To some extent, it is a compromise between Ancelotti's rhythm, because any team is the same and requires a combination of speed and slow.
When controlling the ball, he played the advantages of Pirlo and Seedorf. The rhythm was relatively slow. When he found a loophole, he handed it over to Kaka. The latter used his own speed advantage and suddenly completed the transition from slow to fast, and caught his opponent off guard.
The more he understood and studied football tactics, the more Ye Qiu admired the knowledge of his ancestors, because he really discovered that everything in the world, if he wanted to develop and progress, was inseparable from the doctrine of the mean.
Football tactics are like a person walking, the offense is the left half of the body, the defense is the right half of the body, the ball is the left half of the body, the control space is the right half of the body, the fast pace is the left half of the body, and the slow pace is the right half of the body...
If a person is too inclined to the left or too inclined to the right when walking, he is easy to fall.
So, how to go?
One step is left foot, one step is right foot, one step is left hand, and one right hand, so that the whole person always maintains a centralized posture.
This is the doctrine of the mean!
It is also the balance of football tactics!
With Arteta joining this season and with the cooperation between Espanyol and Sneijder becoming more and more skillful, Ye Qiu's tactical ideas have been developed more thoroughly, especially in rhythm control and sudden change of rhythm and changing offensive direction.
When Ajax started the game and attacked the left side continuously, Robben kept raging in Simici's defense zone, pulling AC Milan's entire defense center to the left side, Arteta hit the cross, Sneider scored a ball before Pirlo, passed the ball diagonally to the right side, Van der Fate got the ball and threw it away and cut inside.
Maldini rushed out immediately, blocking Van der Fate and pressing the Dutch close to him, but Van der Fate was faster and more flexible. He skillfully controlled the ball under his feet, forcibly highlighting half of his body position and crossed the back point.
This time, Ibrahimovic did not waste his teammates' passes anymore. Before Nesta, he stabbed the ball into the goal he arrived at and opened the first record for Ajax.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"
When Ibrahimovic quickly rushed out of the AC Milan penalty area, opened his arms unscrupulously, and celebrated his first goal in the Champions League this season in front of tens of thousands of Red and Black Legion fans at San Siro Stadium, the live commentator also cheered with surprise.
"When AC Milan was a little embarrassed to defend Ajax on the left, Ajax suddenly launched a right attack. After Van der Fate dribbled the ball from the right and cut inside, he broke through Maldini and assisted Ibrahimovic to score the first-time goal!"
"A very, very sudden goal, the process was very simple, without any cumbersome or complicated cooperation, but unexpectedly caught AC Milan off guard, 1:0, Ajax took the lead away!"
After rushing out of the penalty area and out of the stadium, Ibrahimovic rushed directly to the sidelines, raised his index finger to the fans in the stands of the San Siro Stadium, and leaned to his mouth. This was an action that made them all silent, full of provocation.
Without surprise, the Swedes' move immediately received revenge from tens of thousands of AC Milan fans from San Siro Stadium. They booed at Ibrahimovic and Ajax's players. Their posture seemed as if they wanted to drown all the young men in Ajax.
Ye Qiu looked at him on the sidelines and shook his head, "When will this kid learn to be less ostentatious, he will be truly mature!"
"Is Ibrahimovic the unpretentious, or Ibrahimovic?" Bobby Hams asked with a smile.
Ye Qiu was stunned and then laughed. Ibrahimovic, who had no personality, was indeed no longer Ibrahimovic.
Sometimes, Ye Qiu also feels that his arrival has changed Ibrahimovic a lot.
In the previous life of the Swedish center, he had just joined Ajax and encountered the betrayal of his trusted agent, Haas Borg, an elder who was once regarded as his father, but in the end he found that he had been using and betraying him.
Understanding a person should not just be based on his behavior and behavior, but should truly understand his heart and his past. After all, different growth experiences will shape different personalities. It is impossible for everyone to be the same as a good man.
Ibrahimovic grew up with his parents divorced since childhood. He finally met Haas Borg, a person who was very nice to him and had many father shadows he had placed on. But unexpectedly, the final outcome was like this. This hit him very hard. I believe that this incident made his subsequent career completely extreme.
Perhaps, from that time on, football was just money and interests for him, and whoever devoted his feelings would lose.
But Ibrahimovic in this life was obviously different, and he met Ye Qiu.
Although he rarely hears good words about Ye Qiu from his words, everyone can see that this arrogant and proud Swedish person is not convinced by anyone, just one Ye Qiu, so he just does what Ye Qiu asks him to do, without a single complaint.
Of course, this is also attributed to Ye Qiu's way of treating him. He is soft when he should be soft and hard when he should be hard, so that this Swedish boy can obey. Otherwise, who could have helped him develop a shooting skills in more than two years?
Ye Qiu was very satisfied with being able to break through AC Milan's goal away from home, but was not surprised at all, because this was in his tactical arrangement, and the goal was the goal he had set before the game, so after scoring the goal, the team still followed the tactics he planned before the game.
Ajax did not conservatively retreat after taking the lead. On the contrary, he still adopted a high-level defensive strategy to force and press and suppress AC Milan's midfield and frontcourt, while AC Milan could only adopt more counterattack tactics when stabilizing defense.
In the 23rd minute, Pirlo made a long pass in the backcourt and accurately found Da Inzagi who pulled to the right to get the ball. However, after Da Inzagi stopped the ball, he saw Brazilian central defender Lucio quickly rushed out of the penalty area, and a slippery tackle fell to the ground and broke the ball out of the baseline.
There was a booing sound from the whole audience, obviously dissatisfied with Lucio's fierce tackle move, but the referee thought it was a reasonable defense, no foul, and gave AC Milan a corner kick.
Rivaldo took a corner kick, Kivo headed the ball to clear the ball, and Sneider directly got the ball with a big foot after getting the ball.
The ball fell quickly to the left along an arc. Robben was ready to go this time, rushing forward like a flash of lightning. After stopping the ball steadily, he continued to lead along the left.
AC Milan's defense line is constantly retreating, and Ajax players such as Ibrahimovic, Van der Fate, Arteta are also rushing forward quickly, ready to respond to Robben anytime and anywhere, especially Ibrahimovic. As soon as he rushed into the penalty area, he immediately attracted Nesta and Martini's attention.
The tall Swedes were very shocking in the penalty area. At this critical moment of rapid counterattack, even experienced stars like Nesta and Maldini could not think more, so when they saw that Robben did not choose to cross to find Ibrahimovic, but instead rubbed a high ball to the back point, they were shocked.
But just when they were stunned and wanted to save the situation, Lucio, who ran from the backcourt to the frontcourt, jumped high, faced Robben's rubbing ball, smashed the ball heavily, fell to the ground and rebounded, and hit Dida's goal, 2:0!
At this moment, the entire San Siro Stadium was completely silent, and all AC Milan fans even forgot the boos and curses, just staring at all in a daze, incredible.
Chapter completed!
