Chapter 194 Fighting Juventus

The format is not included because of the draw...

On March 22, Philips Stadium in Eindhoven, Netherlands.

When Robben broke through Eindhoven's defense line in the 88th minute of the second half, he dribbled the ball from the left side and threw Oye away from the left side of the penalty area, and shot low with his left foot and pierced through Watrus' goal, the entire Philips Stadium was silent.

This is Eindhoven's third loss to Ajax this season, and he lost all three consecutive games. If we trace back to the three years when Ye Qiu took over Ajax, they have hardly defeated Ajax, and they have been embarrassing to maintain their unbeatable victory for three consecutive years.

Hiddink, a famous World Cup coach who came to Philips Stadium with a nearly Eredivisie halo before the season, failed to continue his good luck in the Korean and Japanese World Cup. In several head-on matches in the Eredivisie League, he encountered a very embarrassing record. Not only were he defeated by Ajax, but he also lost two consecutive times against Feyenoord.

With Eindhoven's strength, they can maintain an absolute advantage against other teams other than Ajax and Feyenoord, but when facing their real competitors, Hiddink was powerless and embarrassed to lose all the results.

0:2, the big red scoreboard shows the numbers that make Hiddink and Eindhoven fans want to collapse.

Although this does not seem to be a complete defeat, it cannot conceal Eindhoven's disadvantages and poor performance in this game, nor can it reflect the opportunities created by Ajax in this game.

If Ibrahimovic had not ended early due to injury in the 37th minute, if it weren't for Hunterlaer who came on the bench and Van der Fate who had been scoring goals recently, they would have wasted opportunities many times, if it weren't for Sneider's long shots, they didn't hit the main part...

It is precisely because of so many ifs that Eindhoven was extremely lucky to lose only 2 goals.

Hiddink's so-called halo of kings has long been torn apart by the media and fans, and even his last fig leaf was not left behind, because no matter how stubborn or quibbling he was unable to cover up his embarrassing record of both Ajax and Feyenoord losing all this season.

Eindhoven was able to maintain the second place in the league because they ensured the efficiency of scoring points when facing weak teams. In the words of the Dutch media, this is a team that bullies the weak and fears the strong, and will show its true colors when they encounter strong teams.

This is true in the Champions League and the Dutch Eredivisie arena.

Ye Qiu did not have much disgust for Hiddink. He believed from beginning to end that Hiddink had been away from the mainstream European league for too long. In the mainstream European league with ever-changing tactical reforms, you have been away for a year, not to mention that he has been alienated for so many years, and recently he has been to the distant Asia.

It’s not that Ye Qiu looked down on Asian football himself, but that he was talking about a fact that if Ye Qiu returned to China to coach now, it won’t take long. One year, he can guarantee that it will take him a long time to re-adapt and explore the tactical trends of mainstream European leagues.

Hiddink slowly walked out of the coach's seat and dragged his seemingly heavy steps towards the visiting coach's seat.

When Ye Qiu's hand was holding Hiddink, he found that Hiddink could not control his strength. At first, he used his strength too much, but soon he felt relieved again. In the end, it seemed to be apologizing, and he supported Ye Qiu's right hand with both hands.

Hiddink didn't say anything in the whole process. Maybe he was embarrassed because at the beginning of the season, he underestimated Ye Qiu too much and looked at the Eredivisie too much. Chuchu came to Eredivisie with the halo of magical coaches from the World Cup. He was ambitious to achieve something great. He didn't take all Eredivisie coaches seriously at that time.

Not to mention anything else, just for his achievements in Eindhoven, the fame he has accumulated over the years, and for his performance in leading the South Korean team in the World Cup. He feels that he will definitely be able to achieve something in the Eredivisie.

As for people, when they have just achieved outstanding achievements, they will inevitably be floating.

Seeing Hiddink not saying a word, turning around and walking back to the home team coach's seat, Ye Qiu secretly warned himself that Hiddink's today may be his own tomorrow. At any time, in any environment, you should maintain a humble heart and never forget what you can do to get to this day?

Is it based on his own talent? It depends on his own talent? It depends on the illusory Godfather's cultivation system in his mind? Wrong, these are part of the reasons, but definitely not the most important thing. The most important thing for him to get to where he is today is that he is willing to work hard, give, put down his posture, and learn humbly. Learning is endless, like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat! "How is Zlatan's injury?" As soon as the game at Philips Stadium ended, Ye Qiu walked into the player channel and found Roland the first one.

This Dutch fat man who went from the youth team to the first team with Ye Qiu, was doing trivial things about sesame and mung beans beans beside Ye Qiu. He seemed to have no professionalism or dispensable. But if he really didn't have such a person, Ye Qiu would be very uncomfortable, and everyone would feel that he was not used to it.

"The situation is not very optimistic. Peter Brandt took him back to Amsterdam in advance. It was initially judged that he had sprained his knee." Roland walked along with Ye Qiu.com's locker room.

Ye Qiu frowned and injured his knees. This is a fatal part, so it’s better not to have a big mess.

Perhaps seeing Ye Qiu's expression, Roland quickly added: "It should not be very serious, but when will you come back, it depends on the results of the inspection. Peter Brandt's most optimistic assessment is two weeks."

If it only takes two weeks, Ye Qiu would not be worried at all.

After playing Eindhoven, the Dutch Ligue 1 soon ushered in a two-week league suspension, the national team trained and prepared for the European Cup qualifiers, but after the training, Ajax was about to welcome Juventus, this time playing away first and then home.

This is the advantage of the top spot in the group stage, first away and then hosting, which is a favorable schedule for the knockout round.

Ye Qiu nodded, "Let's talk about it when you go back."

After just two steps, he remembered something again, "Please help me get two tickets to the Dekuip Stadium. I want to take a look at Nedved, and then arrange for scouts to watch the Italian and French team games respectively."

On the two-week national team match day, the Netherlands will play a European Cup qualifier against the Czech Republic, and Italy and France also have game tasks. However, because the schedule is very close, Ye Qiu cannot finish all the games, so he wants to watch the game between the Netherlands and the Czech Republic.

In this game, there are many internationals from Ajax and Juventus, such as Edgar Davis, the Wild Boars and Nedved Czech midfielder. These two midfielders are the most powerful stars in Juventus' team.

To be honest, Lippi's Juventus lineup is not as good as the old woman Capello's later group. The first thing is very important is the defense line. Ferrara is so old that it is difficult for Uliano to be convincing. Tulam is now playing right-back, and players such as Pesotto, Montero, Bilindli, Tudor.

This defense line is not strong enough compared to Juventus in the Capello era, which is why Juventus conceded 11 goals in the second round of the group stage.

In terms of midfield, Davis is definitely underestimated. Ye Qiu is very clear about the strength of the Dutch, but he is not favored by Lippi. Instead, Conte, Tudor and others have been pulled to the midfield many times, and there is also Tacinadi.

The most commonly used tactical formation for Juventus this season is 4312. Three midfielders are in charge, Nedved plays the front midfielder, and the two forwards in front, Trezeguet always stands at the front, and the other is Piero or Divaio. The two players move forward or retreat according to the opponent's tactics, and the formation changes back and forth between 4312 and 4321.

But there is no doubt that Nedved is the most important core player in this Juventus team.

When Ye Qiu watched the Netherlands against the Czech Republic, in addition to examining his own players, it was more important to go and see Nedved.

Back in Amsterdam, Ye Qiu failed to receive good news from Peter Brandt.

Ibrahimovic sprained his knee and his injury was not minor. It was initially estimated that it would take two to three weeks. Judging from Peter Brandt's tone, it would be a bigger possibility in three weeks. In this way, it is unknown whether he can catch up with the game against Juventus.

Ibrahimovic is a crucial part of this Ajax offensive tactic. With him, he can suppress the opponent's central defender to the greatest extent, completely disrupt the opponent's defense line, create opportunities for Ajax's offense, and find loopholes.

Hunteral is an excellent scorer. He has a very keen sense of goal scores, but he cannot be the core of offensive attack like Ibrahimovic. It can be foreseeable that Lippi will try every means to tighten the defense line when playing against Juventus.

Ye Qiu didn't have a clear idea of ​​how to play this game.

In the next few days, the players all went to the national team to report, and Ajax also ushered in a holiday. Except for several injured people such as Ibrahimovic, everyone else could have a temporary holiday. Ye Qiu conducted targeted analysis of Juventus with the coaching staff for several consecutive days and discussed tactical arrangements. Later, he simply ran to Cambridge to rest.

Their wedding dates have been settled. In June, the girl Huang Chu was a little nervous and secretly bought a lot of things for marriage or home use. Ye Qiu almost laughed to death after seeing it. And in the past few days in Cambridge, they were not idle.

Ye Qiu specially customized a set of Armani's wedding dress, and he also accompanied Huang Chu to customize a white wedding dress tailored for Huang Chu by Queen Verawan9. For this reason, the two of them also flew to New York.

After finishing all these things, Ye Qiu also returned to the Netherlands. Accompanied by Roland, he went to Rotterdam to watch the European Cup qualifiers between the Netherlands and the Czech Republic on site.

This is the 100th international match at Dekuyip Stadium, so this game made many Dutch fans feel that it has a little special significance. During the game, the Netherlands also insisted on offensive football and launched a rush to attack from the beginning.

The Czech Republic used the 45l tactic, leaving high center forward Jankoler in front. To Ye Qiu a little disappointed, Nedved was placed in the left forward position, which was a bit different from his midfielder in Juventus.

Nedved used to play the left forward. When he joined Juventus, Lippi still arranged him as the left forward, instead of letting him play the front midfielder and replacing Zidane. However, Nedved felt that he could not play his best form on the left, so he had a long talk with Lippi, and then he was arranged to play the front midfielder and cruised behind the double forwards.

Nedved's front midfielder is actually a bit like Kaka later. Of course, the Czechs' running range and counter-attack ability on the front court are stronger than Kaka, but the characteristics of the two acting as the back-shot points are the same. After Nedved's front midfielder this season, he has scored 9 goals in Serie A and 4 goals in the Champions League.

This Czech midfielder has its own characteristics, which is that it is almost everywhere and can run at any physical strength. This is a huge threat to any team's midfield and backcourt. Through this large-scale running, looking for opportunities. Through the pulling and interference of the two forwards in front, Nedved found a loophole behind them and immediately inserted the attack.

After inserting, this has become a crucial part of modern football tactical offense.

Leverkusen's success last year was actually the success of Barack, the offensive tactic of the midfielder, who was the back of the back. It was difficult to prevent Barack's back of the back, because you don't know when he would insert it, and as long as he inserts it, it would create a threat.

Although Nedved was arranged to be the left forward in this game, he actually often inserted into the penalty area and acted as the current forward.

"If you can't pinch Nedved, it will be difficult to limit Juventus' offense!"

In the stands at Dekuyip Stadium, Ye Qiu ignored the game, and he was more involved in thinking about how to compete with Juventus.

There is no doubt that when playing Juventus, the offense must be wide. Even Ye Qiu's recent experience and reflection on Lippi and Ancelotti's 02/O3 Champions League final in the Godfather's Development System recently, they all mentioned one thing, that is, the wing attack.

What's interesting is that Lippi eliminated Real Madrid in the semi-finals and restricted Ac Milan in the final. In addition to replacing the overall defense, he also made strict arrangements for the opponent's wings. For example, when playing against Real Madrid, Davis was asked to deal with Figo in particular.

Whether it is Ac Milan or Real Madrid, they undoubtedly attach great importance to the penetration of the middle and the ball. However, when facing the shrinking defense, they lose the threat of the wing. "There is no effective tactical width, and the middle is a pool of stagnant water.

Ajax's wing attack is very sharp. Robben and Van der Fate's wings are undoubtedly better, more threatening and more impactful than Ac Milan and Real Madrid's wing attacks. He firmly believes that Lippi will make strict arrangements and defenses on this.

Given Juventus' current situation, it is certain to play and fight against the defensive counterattack. What Ye Qiu has to consider now is how to cut through Juventus's iron walls while Ibrahimovic is absent and lose such a tactical high point.

After returning to Amsterdam from Rotterdam, Ye Qiu summoned the coaching team of the first team to have a meeting in DeTok Most.

This time the coaches discussed the report sent by scouts, as well as Ye Qiu's experience of watching the game in Rotterdam, and analyzed and predicted the possible tactics of Juventus. After the team reassembled, the 26th round of the Eredivisie quickly rekindled the battle, and Ajax welcomed Rosendal at home.

Everyone can see that Ye Qiu did not arrange all the main lineups to play in the mid-week Champions League match with Juventus this time. Robben, Van der Fat, Sneider, Mascherano, Lucio, Macon and other players were excluded from the starting lineup by Ye Qiu and even did not play in the entire game.

But in the end, with goals from De Jong, Van der Mede, Heleb and Hunterra, Ajax defeated Rosendal 4:1 at home and showed his strong attack power and overall strength of the Eredivisie overlord.

In the same round, Eindhoven tied William II with a difficult 1:1 away game.

In the last round of the kings, Ajax 2:od/betrayed Eindhoven and successfully widened the points gap to 5 points. Now Eindhoven has tied, and the points have further expanded and accumulated 7 points.

With 8 rounds left in the Eredivisie, 7 points behind, everyone almost felt that Eindhoven had lost hope of catching up with Ajax. Unless Ajax collapsed at the last moment, the Eredivisie champion this season will be successfully defended by Ajax.

But at the press conference for the team to Torino and challenge Juventus away, Ye Qiu showed no sign of excitement when the team was already known as the biggest favorite for the Eredivisie championship.

"I said that we are a team with great ambitions. We will not just focus on Eredivisie. We hope to win more. This requires all of us to work together to play every game well."

"It is not the credit of anyone who can get to where the team is now, but the result of every player in the team's efforts in a season. I am proud and proud of my players. I also believe that we have the ability to win everything. I believe even more that at the Alp Stadium in Turin, we can return in triumph!"

Ye Qiu's ambition infected Ajax's players. This group of young geniuses are not afraid of the star-studded Juventus at all. Lippi also expressed his concerns about Ajax, a group of newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers at all.

"They are very young and have amazing momentum, which allows them to show strong competitiveness anytime and anywhere. I have no doubt that they are the most outstanding geniuses among the new generation of European football players. When we meet such a team, we must maintain 120,000 points of concentration and do our best to win the game."

"Of course, being young may not be a good thing!"

Although Lippi praised Ajax more and wanted to paralyze his opponents ideologically, the last sentence was very confident because he was playing against Ajax at the Alp Stadium, and almost all Italian media also believed that winning Ajax would not be a problem.

Especially the Republican Revenge, who had made enemies with Ye Qiu before, shouted, "Let us teach those unweaned children well at the Alp Stadium, what is football!"
