Chapter 179 Ye Qiu's Revenge
When the game reached the 52nd minute, Robben dribbled the ball from the left and passed Gattuso and Simici continuously, and knocked across the penalty area to Ibrahimovic in the middle, the Swede did not waste the opportunity created by his teammates. This time he finally grasped it and drew the ball into AC Milan's goal, 3:0!
No one knows what happened to AC Milan in this game, and no one knows why Ancelotti did not change or adjust the team's tactics during the halftime break, and there was no substitution.
Pirlo's performance is normal, which can be seen from the team's possession time. They got a 58.4% possession rate, which is 6.8% higher than Ajax's 41.6%, so Pirlo has no problem, and even Gattuso and Seedov have no problem.
If there is any problem with these three midfielders, it is impossible to get such a high ball possession rate.
What's the problem?
"It's hard to imagine that in such an important game, Da Inzagi and Shevchenko both had only 2 shots, and the two of them had only 4 shots in total, while AC Milan only got 7 shots in total, with only 2 shots on the right side, and the efficiency was very, very low!"
"Let's look at AC Milan's ball possession time seems to be very long, but the ball is 52.3% in the half of the team, and Ajax is 47.7% in the next. In other words, although AC Milan has a longer ball possession time, the ball still runs more on AC Milan's side. What does this mean, and there is no need to say more."
"Ajax successfully regarded AC Milan's half as his home battlefield, which is undoubtedly a very smart approach for the home team. Although AC Milan has more time to control the ball, it also poses more hidden dangers in his half. Often, Ajax can create a counterattack threat as soon as he loses the ball."
"Also, the frontcourt trident that was highly anticipated by the media and Ancelotti in this game was almost useless. Rivaldo sleepwalking throughout the game, and neither Shevchenko nor Da Inzagi did show the strength that a top scorer should have. On the contrary, Ajax, with 9 shots and 7 shots, scored 3 goals, was really efficient and very high."
After Ajax scored a deadly third goal, Ancelotti always sat in the coach's seat and leaned against the backrest, preventing the camera from capturing his expression, but anyone could imagine it would be ugly.
The AC Milan players on the court also lost their due fighting spirit, because Ancelotti has not made a substitution yet, which has proved that the head coach gave up this game, gave up resistance, and gave up resistance. This makes the AC Milan players think what the meaning of the game is?
Ajax's substitution started with the third goal. Ye Qiu first replaced two players in one breath, replaced Arteta with Yaya Toure, and then replaced Robben with Hleb. In the 75th minute, Ye Qiu replaced Macon with Hetinga.
Brazil's right-back has performed better and better this season. His combination of right and Van der Fate also showed strong offensive power, but what is even more rare is that his defense on the right is actually very good. In several games, Ye Qiu asked him to take more defense, and he did it without any miss.
AC Milan used two substitutions, and in the 80th minute, Rui Costa replaced Shevchenko.
This time the substitution aroused some of his own opinions from the on-site commentator. He felt that this was an unspoken struggle by Ancelotti, but he seemed to have no ability to fight back.
"It was revealed before the game that AC Milan's chairman Berlusconi repeatedly stated that Shevchenko and Inzaghi should play at the same time. He felt that these two forwards were compatible. It was revealed that before this game, Berlusconi called Ancelotti and asked him to play as a double forward no matter what."
"Ancelotti did not make substitutions in the whole game, but as soon as he replaced Shevchenko, replaced Rui Costa, and returned to his 4321 tactic. This is more or less a sign of resisting Berlusconi."
However, the on-site commentator also said that AC Milan fell behind 0:3, and its morale was exhausted, and it was impossible to catch up. The players had lost their fighting spirit. After all, Ancelotti did not show the strongest sign that he must win the whole game.
In the end, Ancelotti made another substitution, replacing Carazze with Costa Cuta, but the time was already in the 87th minute. This time the substitution was more of a formality, just like to make Costa Cuta bid farewell to this season's Champions League.
"According to the latest news and intelligence we received, La Coruna defeated Bayern Munich 2:1 at his home court. In this way, the two teams in Group G are very clear, that is, La Coruna and Ajax qualified as first and second in the group respectively, AC Milan won the right to participate in the League Cup, while Bayern Munich was eliminated."
"After just after this super death group was separated, all the media believed that Bayern Munich and AC Milan had the most hope to qualify, but what they didn't expect was that La Coruna and Ajax were the ones who finally qualified, which was indeed a bit unexpected."
"Especially Ajax, Ye Qiu's team reached the semi-finals of the Champions League last season. Many people think it was accidental and luck, but judging from the group stage this season, even if this team left Gilberto Silva and Sedo Keita, their overall strength was still very ideal, and this season was even better than last season."
"In the 6 games in Group G, Ajax doubled AC Milan, tied Bayern Munich two times, and the match against La Coruña was also one win and one loss, but it is worth noting that including the three goals in this game, Ajax scored a total of 13 goals. Although Valencia, Manchester United, and Real Madrid have more goals than Ajax, from the perspective of the group opponents, Ajax's goals are more substantial."
"Of course, this team is not completely fine. Ajax conceded 8 goals in 6 games. The team's defense is indeed not enough. It is estimated that this has something to do with the departure of the two midfielders. After all, Gilberto Silva and Sedo Keita are both important members of the team's defensive system."
"But no matter what, the performance of this youngest team in the Champions League this season is as good as ever. Ye Qiu once again used the team's group qualifying rights to prove his coaching ability to everyone, but it is obvious that there is still a little gap in his promises he made to the fans at the beginning of the season."
At the beginning of the season, when the team performed well, Ye Qiu said that it was seen by many media as a joke to compete with all European giants in the Champions League. Judging from the group stage of Ajax's Champions League this season, this team does have strong strength and can stand out from the Super Death Group, which is worthy of recognition.
But I really don't see it when it comes to competing for the championship.
…………
…………
In the game played at San Siro Stadium, although Ancelotti lost, she still maintained the demeanor of a Confucian coach. She took the initiative to come over to shake hands with Ye Qiu, showing her demeanor as the master. Of course, Ye Qiu was no exception this time.
As soon as the whistle sounded, he walked to the visiting team coach's seat and reached out to Ancelotti from afar.
In this case, no matter what you say, it is not appropriate, so Ye Qiu just looked at Ancelotti with a smile and said nothing.
Ancelotti reached out and held it with Ye Qiu, "Your team performed better, and it is natural to win."
The tone of saying this made Ye Qiu somewhat unwilling to accept it. Perhaps he felt that he lost the game for other reasons.
"I have watched all the videos of AC Milan this season. I have watched some important games at least three times. My assistants and I are constantly paying attention and studying your team. We have learned a lot from you, so no matter what, we still want to thank you for coming to Arena Stadium!"
Ye Qiu's words are neither humble nor arrogant. He was telling Ancelotti before, let's put away your resentful attitude. I have studied you very thoroughly. Even without your so-called off-field factors, I can still defeat you.
The latter words were said by Ye Qiu in order not to anger Ancelotti and to show his master's demeanor.
After hearing this, Ancelotti looked at Ye Qiu deeply, unable to say anything.
Judging from the game scene, Ajax completely suppressed AC Milan. It can be said that the only thing the Ross and Blacks can do is the ball possession rate, but this thing was made by Ajax deliberately letting go, in order to allow AC Milan to control the ball more in the midfield and backcourt, and to focus on limiting AC Milan's midfield and frontcourt, which has no meaning in itself.
Putting aside the ball possession rate, AC Milan was thoroughly studied by Ajax throughout the game.
In the first round, Ancelotti played at San Siro Stadium, and Ancelotti was ranked 4321, but she didn't kill Ajax, but was killed by Ajax. In the second round, she scored 4312 and lost terriblely. If she really wanted to make excuses, she would really lose face and status, so Ancelotti could only swallow this bitter fruit in the end.
After Ye Qiu shook hands with Ancelotti, he did not stay. He turned around and left. At the entrance of the player passage, he hugged his players one by one, congratulating them on qualifying from the group, and also encouraged them to continue to work hard.
"After playing the group stage, another round of group stage, no matter who our opponent is, we have only one goal and qualify!"
"No matter whether we are playing any game or any event, we always have one goal, champion!"
Ye Qiu's resounding words in the locker room allowed this group of Ajax players who won the ball to find their goal again.
Last season, they reached the semi-finals, but eventually stopped in the semi-finals, which made them very unwilling to accept that they have made a comeback. Who doesn’t want to be humiliated by Yixue last season, and who doesn’t want to be famous in the European Champions League?
After inspiring the players, Ye Qiu walked out of the locker room and headed to the press conference at Arena Stadium.
When he arrived, Ancelotti had not arrived yet, but there were many reporters gathered at the scene, probably more than 100, including reporters from several domestic media. It has become one of their habits to follow Ajax reports. In addition, the influence of the Eredivisie in China has also increased, even no less than that of the four major leagues.
After Ye Qiu greeted the host, he walked into the venue. A spotlight flashed suddenly, all of which came towards Ye Qiu, and the latter took a care of sitting in the seat.
Just when everyone thought that Ye Qiu would wait politely for Ancelotti, he smiled and looked at an Italian reporter directly opposite him. He vaguely remembered that this person had embarrassed himself in San Siro, and the Republic where he was also one of the most fierce Italian newspapers attacking him, so he asked with a smile: "From Italy?"
The reporter nodded immediately, "I am a reporter from the Republican newspaper!"
"Oh!" Ye Qiu nodded, but immediately asked with a smile: "While Mr. Ancelotti did not come, I might as well ask you in reverse, what do you think of the result of this game?"
The Italian reporter was obviously stunned. When a burst of hilarious noises sounded at the scene, he knew that he had become the target of Ye Qiu's revenge. The Ajax head coach obviously fought back against the Italian media before attacking him.
"Yes, what do you think?"
"Tell me!"
Some of the colleagues at the scene were very fond of each other and were in trouble. They wanted this poor reporter to become the target of everyone's ridicule, which immediately made the Italian reporter feel a little ugly.
The Italian reporter looked around and felt a turbulent crowd. He couldn't sit still and stood up, "You won the result, but AC Milan won the process!"
As soon as he said this, Ye Qiu burst into laughter, and he laughed so hard that everyone present could easily feel Ye Qiu's attitude towards this reporter or the Italian media represented by him.
Perhaps in the past few years, the Serie A, which is the world's number one league, has made this group of media unable to keep up with the pace outside. They can't accept that La Liga and the Premier League are constantly challenging Serie A, and Serie A is no longer the small World Cup that all footballers have flocked to in the past.
But there is only this group of people who are still in the past, and they still have the pride of the uncrowned king who looks down on all living beings.
Today, Ye Qiu will completely tear off their pride, step on it, and trample on it wantonly!
"You should talk to me about how AC Milan won the process? Did he lose the result again?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.
He has no resentment towards AC Milan, but unfortunately, this team is his opponent, and the Italian media clearly supports the Ross and Blacks, so he can only do this now.
"They gained more advantages and showed control, but unfortunately lost the game." A reporter who seemed to be the same Italian stood up and shared the same hatred for his companions to rescue his companions.
After hearing this, Ye Qiu laughed, "What you mentioned is the advantage and control, we finally got 13 shots, while AC Milan only had 7 times. Most of the game was played in AC Milan's halftime. We got more opportunities and created more threats, but they were unable to organize effective attacks."
"Perhaps, in Italy, you don't use the number of goals to decide the winner, but use the ball possession rate!"
Ye Qiu's words immediately made everyone present burst into laughter, except for the Italian media.
Serie A is famous for not paying attention to ball possession. AC Milan is a somewhat strange team in Serie A, especially Ancelotti's four No. 10 midfielders, and in Italy there is only one, without any semicolon.
After everyone had laughed, Ye Qiu stopped and looked at the reporter of the Republic newspaper.
"By the way, I also want to ask this reporter friend of the Republican newspaper, Oh, don't tell me your name, I don't want to know at all!" Ye Qiu's words immediately made everyone present laugh, and the Republican newspaper reporter was a little ashamed.
"I want to ask you again, tomorrow your newspaper front page headlines will say, is it reasonable to lose?"
This immediately made everyone present, even some Italians, laugh, and the reporter of the Republic almost dug a hole in the ground. Finally, he pointed at Ye Qiu angrily, "You are the most ungraceful of all the head coaches I have ever seen. Your words and deeds are like shit."
Ye Qiu also pointed at him with a smile, "You are also the most ungraceful reporter I have ever seen. I am better than you. I will ask you in person, but what about you? I scold me with a pen behind my back, who is a villain and a gentleman? Finally, I would like to say to you, please tell us the next time you use your mouth to poison people, it is really smelly, it is not smelly!"
The audience burst into laughter and even applauded, obviously cheering for Ye Qiu's last words of swearing.
At least in comparison, the Italian journalist fell under the predicament.
Seeing the Italian reporter turn around and leave the press conference scene angrily, Ye Qiu shrugged innocently, "He should continue to stay!" There was another burst of laughter at the scene.
However, this time many people have seen it. It turns out that Ajax's head coach's personality is really a must-report, and he is a tough guy who shows no mercy at all. Then when you want to offend him in the future, you must be careful, but don't become the pitiful and unlucky Republican reporter.
Ancelotti was a little late, which was a special power after losing, and Ye Qiu was waiting for him politely, but after what happened just now, the atmosphere at the entire press conference changed. Many Italian media and reporters left the venue early, and those who stayed were preparing to watch the fun.
This made Ancelotti a little strange when he walked into the venue. He always felt that the atmosphere on the scene was very strange. Everyone looked at him with a kind of joke, as if he was watching a stripper in a bar, which made him unable to help but get furrowed.
