Many people’s first impression of Hiddink is that they are tough.

But it is rare to see Hiddink soar on the court.

Few people know that Hiddink had been a teacher for ten years, in the school where his father was the principal, so he later joked that in his eyes, stars were like elementary school students, and big-name stars were like those urchin children with tough backgrounds, or even juvenile offenders.

Ten years of teaching experience have made Hiddink know how to manage a team's locker room, and he also has some of his own stubborn traits. It seems that he rarely publicly sprints on the court, which is to take into account his image. He believes that there are cameras everywhere on the court, and publicly sprints will only become the target of media hype.

But sometimes, the fire in my heart cannot be suppressed.

Just like this time, when he saw Ibrahimovic leaning against Faber with his body, Oye did not rush to Faber as he arranged before the game to assist in the defense. In the end, he watched the Swedes suppress Faber with his body, and successfully turned the ball, volleyed vigorously with his right foot, and pierced through Watrus' goal.

At this moment, Oye helplessly raised his hands in the penalty area and hugged the back of his head, looking very depressed. He looked like he was wondering why he was scored again?

I believe that most people who see this scene will think that Oye is innocent, but Hiddink doesn't think so.

Hiddink, who was so angry that he had to find a vent to rush to the sidelines, rushed to the sidelines, and shouted at Oye who was close to him: "Andre, what the hell are you doing for? Don't you know to assist in defense? Or do you just want to stand aside, wait to see your teammates, and watch the team's jokes?"

Oye was shocked by Hiddink's sudden fury and stood in the penalty area. Then he recalled something that Hiddink kept stressing repeatedly that Ibrahimovic could not easily get one-on-one opportunities, especially in the middle of the penalty area.

Ibrahimovic has excellent physical fitness, his feet are very delicate, and his shooting skills have improved greatly in recent years, which makes the Swedish center seem to have no major flaws, and whether it is his physical fitness or his feet skills, it makes him have a very advantage in one-on-one.

Hiddink's evaluation of the center is very high. He believes that in one-on-one situation, even central defenders like Nesta, Stam, and Ferdinand may not be able to withstand Ibrahimovic. His physical fitness is slightly weaker and his consciousness is slightly worse. He must be prepared to be abused by Ibrahimovic anytime and anywhere.

Eindhoven's defense line has been quite a problem recently. Hofland's injury will make him miss the entire season, which has caused quite a lot of trouble to Eindhoven's defense line. You know, Hofland has performed very well recently. He has become the decisive needle of Eindhoven's defense line. Even many giant teams such as Manchester United have begun to pay attention to him, hoping to introduce this central defender who is known as New Stam.

Hiddink is also outstanding. Faber performed steadily under his hands. The veteran has excellent experience and consciousness. But even so, Hiddink still feels that Faber will still be abused when encountering Ibrahimovic.

This is not a matter of strength, but in the final analysis, when the defensive players follow the offensive players one-on-one, the offensive players take the initiative, and the defensive players are too passive. If it is not for the large gap in strength, it is almost difficult to guarantee that they will not be abused.

This is why everyone knows that offense can be played by individuals, but defense always depends on system combat.

This can also lead to an off-topic saying, training defense is not necessarily simpler than training offense!

After Hofland was injured this season, Eindhoven's central defender was short of manpower. Hiddink finally chose to put right guard Oyela in the middle to play the central defender. Oye did perform very well in several games, which made everyone feel relieved, but once the key games were reached, his problems were exposed.

After all, he played for many years and was pulled to the middle lane, and there was inevitably some discomfort. The sense of position and awareness of coordination were both flaws of Oye. In the past, others made up for him and made up for him, but now he asked him to make up for others. It is certain that he was not adapted.

Eindhoven's performance in the Champions League this season is sluggish, which has nothing to do with the problem of the defense line, so Hiddink has always been very cautious because he knows that the problem of the defense line will appear in the conversation of strong men. They had lost to Feyenoord before. This time when he met Ajax, Hiddink could be said to have been a thousand instructions.

But unexpectedly, I made a mistake in the end.

Sometimes, Hiddink doesn't know whether it's Ajax's offense is too strong, Eindhoven's defense in this game is too bad, or both.

Just 14 minutes into the game, Robben quickly inserted on the left. Ibrahimovic made a diagonal pass in front of him. He rushed into the penalty area and easily shot through Watrus' goal.

But this is just the beginning, and Ajax's powerful attack power immediately afterwards put great pressure on Eindhoven.

In the 27th minute, Van der Fate dribbled the ball from the right and took the initiative to find Ibrahimovic to cooperate with two passes and one, cut in the air and rushed into the penalty area. After getting back knocks from Ibrahimovic, he shot low and scored again, 2:0!

The attack was fierce, and Ajax also revealed his flaws. In the last moment of the first half, Eindhoven made a very high-quality counterattack. Van Bomel made a long pass, and Kezmann used his speed to forcibly break through the defense line between Lucio and Kivo. After getting the ball, he formed a single shot and broke through Van der Sar's goal, 1:2.

During the halftime break, Hiddink once again emphasized that it doesn't matter much if one goal is behind, because there is still one second half, Eindhoven has a chance, but the premise is that all players must follow the team's tactics firmly.

Among them, Hiddink said the most about defense, because Eindhoven's strategy in this game is to counterattack against defensively. If you can't defend, how can you counterattack?

Therefore, Hiddink has also advised Oye many times, and several flaws were revealed in the first half, so he asked Oye to pay attention to maintaining a distance with Faber, maintaining close contact, not revealing flaws, and not losing his position easily.

But what I didn't expect was that Aoye made a mistake less than 10 minutes after the second half.

If Oye can assist in defense when Ibrahimovic competes with Faber, then after the Swedes turn around, Oye can rush forward to assist in defense as soon as possible. In that case, can the Swedes still score a goal?

From 1:2 to 1:3, the gap is more than just one goal, which is a huge blow to Eindhoven's morale.

However, Hiddink got angry when he couldn't hold it back and quickly calmed down. After all, the game was not over yet, so he kept explaining to Oye on the sidelines, and at the same time asked the team's position to appropriately shrink.

Ye Qiu sat in the home team coach's seat, looking at Hiddink's rare loss of composure, and couldn't help but feel funny, "I didn't expect that he would be very good at getting angry, and I really didn't see it."

Bobby Hams laughed, "All of you are decades old, how can you get angry like you young people?"

If you encounter someone who is healthy, it would be fine, but if you encounter someone who is not in good health and gets angry at any time, wouldn’t it be your own life?

"He has been away from the European football stage for a few years, especially when he went to Asia in the past two years. He has obviously been unable to keep up with the pace and pace of European football development." Van Basten said with a smile.

This is the truth. Even now that information is very developed, leaving European football and the Champions League for a long time, it is indeed a loss to grasp the development trend of football tactics.

Look at the English team was suspended from the game back then, and they have not yet caught up with the mainland team.

Since Hiddink coached the Dutch national team, neither in Real Madrid nor Real Betis, he has not won the recognition and recognition of professionals, nor has he achieved convincing results. Even now, most people feel that Hiddink's football philosophy is somewhat unable to keep up with the development of tactics.

What is the hottest tactical change in Europe in the past two years?

High defense!

Just as French Football Magazine commented, since Ajax won the League Cup with a high defense and successfully reached the Champions League semi-finals the next year, everyone began to be interested in high defense. The first one to follow Ye Qiu was Valencia's head coach Benitez, and his team also adopted high defense.

Although Benitez's Valencia played 4231, the positioning tactics adopted by both back midfielders were still moving forward.

Valencia won the La Liga championship last season and set off a trend in the Champions League this season. Behind all this is high-level defense. Benitez's team is best at using high-level defense to press against their opponents, so they scored the most goals and conceded the least goals. They are the best team in the Champions League group stage.

In the evaluation of French football magazine, Ajax's high-level defense is more inclined to attack, and defense is highly dependent on single midfielders. Therefore, after Gilberto Silva left the team, although Ye Qiu introduced Mascherano, who performed well and promoted De Jong, he still could not play out the stability of Gilberto Silva.

This is also why Ajax's defense has always given people an unstable impression so far this season.

The impact of the excellence of high-level defense is that other teams have followed suit to make corresponding adjustments and changes, but Hiddink's team obviously has not changed like this, which has caused them to lose in the Champions League. When they return to the Netherlands, they can meet weak teams, but they have poor results when they play with strong teams.

So far, he has lost to Feyenoord at home and has now faced Ajax away, so he has no strength to fight back.

As for other so-called strong teams in the Eredivisie, can they compare with the three strong men?

In the eyes of many people, high-level defense is something Ye Qiu has made to solve Ajax's traditional 433 tactics, and the wingers and full-backs are too far apart. Moreover, after three years of continuous improvement, this defensive system has become Ajax's main tactics, and even the youth team is using this tactics.

The benefits are obvious, and the offense is very sharp, especially the offense on both sides, which fits Ajax's traditional characteristics of focusing on winger offense and can also maximize the offensive power of 433, but defense is something to be paid attention to.

"You said, will he regret coming to Eindhoven's muddy water now?" Roland asked with a smile.

When everyone heard this, they suddenly felt amused.

Since the game was in progress, there is no doubt that Ajax will win his opponent. The only option is, can he still score a goal?

In the 77th minute, it was Ibrahimovic again, from Faber's side, and Oye was not filling up in time, almost the same as the previous goal, except that the goal position changed a little, and Ibrahimovic's goal method was even more annoying.

He had obviously thrown away Faber and successfully passed Eindhoven's central defender. When he dribbled the ball into the penalty area, he met Oye who was quickly making up for the position. He suddenly stopped suddenly, skillfully crossed the ball under his feet, and wanted to flexibly bypass Oye from the right side. But when Oye reacted flexibly, he stopped another emergency stop, dunked the ball to the left, then pulled up his left foot, and shot, and the ball entered the net, 4:1!

The whole goal seems to be very long, but in fact it happened in the blink of an eye. Oye was shaken by Ibrahimovic so much that he almost stood firm. All this was because he had a long distance between him and Faber just now. If the distance was right, once Ibrahimovic passed Faber, he would be able to defend himself immediately, and the Swedes suffered a great loss.

Hiddink did not get angry this time like he had just happened, but walked back to the coach's seat with helpless look on his face.

After another game, Ye Qiu also made a substitution adjustment.

In the end, Ajax defeated Eindhoven 4-1 at Arena Stadium and successfully expanded the leader's advantage to 4 points. As for Feyenoord, he lost 1-3 to Helenfin and was kicked out of the shortlist for winning the championship by everyone.

Van Marvik's team always likes to lose track at critical moments, which is really a puzzle.

…………

…………

After defeating Eindhoven 4-1 at home, Ajax immediately became the biggest favorite team to win the Eredivisie.

You know, Ajax has defeated Eindhoven twice in a row this season. It was the Dutch Super Cup before. Ajax defeated Eindhoven 5:0 at Arena Stadium. This time it has made some progress and has become 4:1.

After this game, the Dutch media almost supported Ajax one-sidedly, believing that as long as Ye Qiu's team continues to perform in the first half of the season, it is very likely to win the league championship, while Hiddink's team must get rid of the embarrassment of losing when facing a strong opponent.

This team has no precedent for winning against strong teams this season, whether in the Champions League or in the Dutch Eredivisie, which has become a very embarrassing label for Hiddink. Who would like to make people point their backbone and laugh at the pseudo-strong team?

On the contrary, Eindhoven Daily also showed some signs of helping Eindhoven explain. When they interviewed Eindhoven's general manager Aneson, the latter believed that the team's poor performance was due to the defense line. Hofland's absence caused great losses to Eindhoven, because the most important thing for the team is to strengthen the strength of the defense line as soon as possible.

Eindhoven Daily also believes that the defense line is the crux of the team's repeated defeats when they are strong.

But Hiddink did not admit this statement at all. He believed that the team had many problems and the defense line was not the most important.

"I can understand many fans' desire and ideas to strengthen the team's strength in the shortest time, but to improve the team's strength may not necessarily require transfer signings. That is the last forced method. I think Oye performed well in the central defender position, and he just needs more time."

A week later, Eindhoven defeated Vitus 1-0 at home with Boma's goal.

Ajax defeated the SBV elite 2-0 away in his last game before the winter break, while Feyenoord once again continued his embarrassing tradition of losing streaks, drew 1-1 away from home.

As a result, after 17 rounds of matches, half of the Eredivisie, Ajax led the way and ranked the leader, while Eindhoven followed closely behind with a 4-point gap. The gap between Feyenoord and the two first competitors was widened to 11 points, and he had obviously lost the right to compete for the league championship.

The fourth place that can better reflect the huge gap in strength and weakness in the Eredivisie is the fourth place. Nijmegen is 9 points behind Feyenoord and 20 points behind Ajax. This gap is very large, enough for anyone to see the overall trend of the Eredivisie.

As Schulde Moso of the Common Daily said in his column, the Dutch Eredivisie is developing towards the La Liga in which the two heroes competed for the hegemony. The difference is that the La Liga in that year was Barcelona and Real Madrid in that year, while the Dutch Eredivisie is now a three-time champion of Ajax, Eindhoven and Feyenoord.

Schulder Moso believes that when the football league becomes an oligarchy game, this may not be a good phenomenon. It is worthy of warning from all Dutch footballers, especially more teams and more coaches, they should see the situation clearly and think carefully. Why is this happening?

"I personally believe that Ajax's re-emergence experience is worth learning from all the Eredivisie mid- and lower-level teams, because they did not pay too much. Ye Qiu pursued a recruiting strategy that introduces potential rookies at low prices, cultivates and carves them to become talented. This not only brought Ajax a generous transfer income, but also improved Ajax's overall competitiveness."
