Chapter 200

Ye Qiu didn't know about Eliza's meeting with Evaris Mutra. After the latter returned home, he simply told him that Evaris Mutra was just here to find out the news. He didn't say much after hearing that Ye Qiu was not free.

"Don't worry about them, this is the case with the wealthy family. They look tall and arrogant. When they beg us!" Ye Qiu patted Eliza's shoulder and said, the two of them are now close friends who are moving forward and retreating together.

Eliza, like no one, continued to be busy with her own affairs, and Ye Qiu was not idle either. On April 12, Ajax challenged Breda away. Because he had just had a hard fight with Juventus, Ye Qiu had a proper rotation in this game. Finally, with Sneider's first record and Van der Mede's double score in the second half, he defeated Breda away 3:0.

It is worth noting that in the last 20 minutes of this game, Ye Qiu replaced Hunteral with Ibrahimovic. This was the first time the Swedish center made a appearance in the past month, but his performance was average and he failed to contribute to the team's offense. Regarding Ibrahimovic's performance, Ye Qiu gave a positive answer after the game, believing that Ibrahimovic would gradually regain his form, and he needed the game to hone the training and get used to the rhythm and atmosphere of the game.

Ye Qiu did not give a clear answer to whether he would arrange for Ibrahimovic to start in the second round, but just expressed his opinion that whoever is in good condition will play. But in DeTok Most, Ye Qiu asked Peter Brandt to conduct detailed inspections of Ibrahimovic's body and arranged targeted training to help him adjust his condition and integrate into the rhythm and atmosphere of the game.

In the mid-week Dutch Cup semi-finals, Ajax relied on Van der Fate's goal away, l:O defeated Feyenoord, and Ibrahimovic came on as a substitute in the second half again, but his performance was still very average.

Three days later, the team sat at Arena Stadium and welcomed Roda Jc.

The starting striker in this game was Hunteral. The Dutch striker broke Roda Jc's goal in the 15th minute, opening the first record for Ajax, showing his outstanding competitive state. Before the game, he also said that he would work hard to perform and strive to continue to start in the game against Juventus.

In the 18th and 27th minutes, Van der Fat and Sneider scored consecutive goals, and Ajax won a 3:0 lead in the first half, but in the second half, Roda Jc began to exert force and used Ajax's mistake to win a goal.

Ye Qiu replaced Ibrahimovic in the 65th minute. After a week of adjustment, the Swedish center's condition improved significantly. In the B3rd minute, he took advantage of his physical advantage and withstood the opponent and shot vigorously in the penalty area, winning another goal for Ajax, 4:1.

As many people say, this goal is an Ibrahimovic-style goal. From this, we can see that the Swedish center's condition has been adjusted well. Many people also look forward to whether he can start when playing Juventus in the second round. In the past two rounds, although Ajax has won one after another, Eindhoven's performance is not bad. He continues to win two consecutive victories and always chases Ajax, showing his determination and fighting spirit to never give up until the last moment. Van Marvik's Feyenoord is the same.

But so far, there are only 6 rounds left in the league. Is the possibility of a reversal still there?

After playing in the 28th round of the Eredivisie, Ajax finally welcomed Juventus at his home court.

Someone once analyzed that the reason why the Champions League is attracting attention is not the group stage, but the knockout stage.

To a certain extent, the group stage is more like a process of eliminating the weak and retaining the strong. Teams with too weak strength are difficult to stand out from the group stage. Especially in the two-round group stage, the teams that can basically reach the quarterfinals are the teams with the best strength and condition in Europe this season.

Because they are all collisions between teams with the best strength and condition, the Champions League quarter-finals knockout round has become a match between different styles. The real swords and guns of strong teams have sparked different sparks between different tactics, which has feasted fans all over the world.

And at the same time, due to the double-round match system of the knockout stage and various knockout factors such as away goals, all fans are very concerned about the situation of the two teams in the knockout stage. From the coach's arrangement to the players' condition, these have become the focus of attention of the media and fans before the game.

It was like in this match between Ajax and Juventus, in the first leg, Ajax reversed Juventus 2:1 at the Alpes Stadium, which put Juventus in a very passive situation. Ajax's two away goals made Juventus have to score at least 2 goals at Arena Stadium to have a chance to win.

So, in this case, what tactics will Lippi adopt? Offense or defense?

What kind of countermeasures will Ye Qiu adopt? Should he hold on to the 2:1 score, or continue to stick to his offensive philosophy?

All of this was revealed on the night of Arena Stadium.

Juventus, who played away, still insisted on the 4312 tactics he was good at. Lippi's starting lineup only made partial changes compared to the first round of the game.

The goalkeeper is Buffon, the defense is Bilindelli, Montero, Touram and Zambrota, the midfield is Tachinadi, Conte and Camoranesi, the front midfield is Nedved, and the double strikers are Piero and Trezege.

The left-back started better than Lindley, and the form was better. The Touram returned to the middle to play the central defender and partnered with Montero. Zanbrotta was transferred to the right, while the midfielder gave up Tudor, who performed poorly in the first round, and chose veteran Conte to start. This series of changes were counter-substitutions, which made people unable to see through Lippi's ideas.

Compared with Lippi's secrets, Ye Qiu's changes seem very obvious, changing from the original 4222 to the traditional tactics of 433.

The goalkeeper is Van der Sar, the defense is Abidal, Kivo, Lucio and Macon, the midfield is Arteta, Mascherano and Sneider, and the front trident is Robben, Ibrahimovic and Van der Fate.

This is Ajax's main lineup this season, and it is also the strongest lineup that Ye Qiu can now line up. But what is more worrying is whether Ibrahimovic, after returning from injury, can show the strength everyone expects?

This answer is still worrying even after the game begins

Just 3 minutes into the game, Ajax cooperated with Macon and Van der Fate on the right. The latter dribbled the ball and cut inside and passed directly behind him. Ibrahimovic inserted and wanted to shoot a shot, but Turam was very accurate and used his body to block the Swedes first and prevented Ibrahimovic's shot. Buffon steadily got the ball.

But this time, Macon did not pass it, but directly pushed it to Vanderfate in front.

Van der Fate retreated to get the ball, and Bilindelli was on guard behind him, but the Dutch did not choose to break through, but took advantage of the opportunity of retreating to get the ball, dribbled the ball sideways and cut inward, heading straight to Montero.

The Uruguayan defender was furious at Van der Fate. In the first round at the Alp Stadium, Van der Fate shook him to the ground, making him lose all his face. This time, when he saw Van der Fate coming towards him again, he rushed out of his defense zone and robbed him.

Van der Fate had been waiting for him to snatch it up. As soon as he saw Montero coming up, he immediately kicked the ball forward, and the ball quickly passed through Montero and Bilindelli, and Van der Fate himself rushed forward as soon as possible.

You should know that Van der Fate is not as injured as Ye Qiu's previous life. After Ye Qiu introduced a series of physical testing methods, the injuries of many players on the team were effectively estimated and controlled, just like Robben's testicular cancer was treated and solved early, which was just a minor operation.

Therefore, although Van der Fate's speed is not as fast as Robben, it is still very sharp and passes through the two of them quickly.

As early as when Van der Fate was inclined, Ibrahimovic noticed that Robben had also come over, so he chose to retreat, which could not only support Van der Fate, but also create space for Robben, and also give Toulam for Van der Fate.

Sure enough, once Ibrahimovic retreated, Turam would not come out, if you don’t come out, if you pass Van der Fate, Ibrahimovic turned around, and at a distance of about 25 meters, the Swedes could fire directly.

For professional players, they can almost be said to have a range within 30 meters, and their feet are very hard.

As soon as Toulam came out, Robben immediately threw away Zambrota and inserted into the penalty area. After Van der Fate left Montero and Bilindeli, he did not stick the ball and passed it to Robben immediately.

The Dutch Panther didn't make a sound, and made a big splash. He threw away Zanbrotta at a very fast speed and rushed straight to the penalty area. After receiving a pass from Van der Fate at the front of the penalty area, he continued to kill to the right side of the goal. After attracting Buffon's attention, he shot low and drilled straight into the lower right corner closer to the distance, l:01

Robben's speed did not decrease at all after his low shot. He seemed to have seen his goal in advance. He rushed out of Arena Stadium quickly and ran along the sidelines, accepting the cheers and cheers from tens of thousands of Ajax fans from the entire Arena Stadium. They were shouting Robben's name and congratulating the flying Dutch!

The whole process sounds very long, but it only happens in just a few seconds. Ajax's advancement is very fast, and Juventus can't even keep up with Ajax's rhythm and pace. Montero, especially Montero, was almost fooled by Van der Fate, as stiff as a puppet.

"It's too fast, Ajax's offense is really too fast!"

"As early as last season, we all deeply felt the speed and impact of this Dutch team. At that time, in Europe, almost no defensive team could stand the Dutch offense. Even in the end, Ajax lost to Real Madrid with a regrettable defeat. More people also felt that it was the credit of Zidane's flying immortals from the sky."

"But, Ajax looks more control than last season, but when they want to rush and fly, we see a faster and more impactful young guards than last season!"

"At the Alpes Stadium, Ajax's offense was somewhat curbed by Juventus, but now when they returned to the familiar Arena Stadium, they immediately showed their strongest combat power. Their overall offensive rhythm was very fast and the speed was surprising, especially on both sides, and they really flew together!"

You should know that on both sides of Ajax, Robben and Van der Fate are both players with excellent speed. Maicon on the right is stronger than defense and very fast. Although Abidal on the left is stronger than defense, his speed is actually very fast. However, Maicon's insertion is firmly attacking, while Abidal's insertion is supportive and receiving the ball, which makes the Frenchman look unremarkable and outstanding as if he is not as conspicuous as MaiL's man.

Not only that, Lucio and Kivo are not slow, Arteta is also fast, Sneider and Mascherano are not bad, Ibrahimovic's speed and flexibility are also excellent among high center forwards. In addition, the team's good at touching the ball and simple passes and receiving, Ajax's overall advancement speed is very fast.

This kind of approaching is not reflected when encountering a tenacious and solid defense, but Juventus' starting tactics are obviously not conservative in this game. They obviously want to actively open up the situation and strive for goals, which makes their defense impossible to be as unbreakable as in the last game.

As Ye Qiu consciously asked the team to arrange defense in the center line, let Juventus expand his formation and gradually press it out, there will be more space in the half court and give Ajax more opportunities to use it, which is why the offensive cooperation just now.

Even so, Ajax's offensive advancement speed is still surprising!

"This time, I see how you can play!" Ye Qiu turned his head and looked at Lippi who seemed furious because of the goal.

According to the current total score, Ajax is leading 3:1 and has two away goals, so if Juventus wants to advance, he must score at least 2 goals to equalize the total score and make the game enter overtime. If he wants to advance, they still need to score the third goal.

There is only a little time for the game, and there is not much time left for Juventus.

Ye Qiu knew this very clearly, so he waved his hand and did not ask the team to retreat. He directly set up defense in the midfield, but he focused on defense and actively fought on-site counterattacks.

As early as the first round, Ye Qiu noticed that Juventus' ball path was not fast, and it could even be said to be slow compared to Ajax. Therefore, Ye Qiu dared to arrange the focus of the defense in the midfield in this game. This would make it easier for Ajax to counterattack. Lippi had no other choice, and he could only attack if he wanted to win! Therefore, after conceding the ball, Juventus did not directly siege Ajax's goal, and actively launched an attack. Bilindley on the left, Zambrota on the right, and Camoranesi on the midfield, frequently participated in the attack.

Ajax did not give in and set up a defensive line in the midfield, mainly composed of Sneid, Arteta and Mascherano. Macon also held the right side. Coupled with the active interference strategy of the trident in the frontcourt, although Ajax did not retreat, his defense was very solid and he would not be able to break easily for the moment.

On the contrary, Juventus frequently showed flaws behind him, and Ajax found a chance to counterattack several times.
