Chapter 202 Entering the Final Four

How can we see that Juventus is impatient?

It's very simple, take a look at Buffon!

The game is not yet NS0 minutes, but Buffon has already started to break out of the penalty area and actively asked his teammates to press forward to launch an attack. Juventus is a life-long style of playing almost every time he inserts into an attack. Anyone can see that Juventus is desperate.

But sometimes, not being able to scare your opponent may not be able to scare your opponent.

When Mascherano stabbed Nedved's ball to Sneijder, Sneijder passed the ball over the top and accurately found behind Tulam and Montero. Ibrahimovic forced a bloody path between the two Juventus central defenders. After getting the ball, he ran all the way and brought it into Juventus' 30-meter area.

Seeing that the single shot was already done, it was too late to return to the goal line, so he could only make the mistake and attack directly.

The next shot of the Swedish center was very light. He picked it lightly, and the ball gently passed Buffon, gently dribbled through an arc, gently fell into the goal line, and rolled into the bottom of the net. Zanbrotta ran back and chased after, but couldn't stop it, and he also crashed into the bottom of the net. He turned around and kicked the ball hard to Ajax with a strong kick to vent his anger.

3:0!

The number on the big red scoreboard of Arena Stadium immediately changed from 2 to 3, which means that the remaining ten minutes of games have completely become useless. No matter how Juventus plays, can they still score 4 goals in Ajax?

This is a game that has not competed at the same level from the beginning. From the beginning, Juventus was in a very passive situation. Ajax won away and scored two away goals. Both factors seem to be the sword of Damocles hanging above Juventus' head, leaving them unavoidable.

The situation of the game is more like Ye Qiu, who has the initiative, uses his advantages to maximize results, and is also at a disadvantage, but Juventus, who is struggling to fight, still cannot get rid of the tragic song of the nightmare in the end.

Juventus has fought for this game, on the contrary, they bravely stood up and fought but they lost!

"There is no doubt that Ajax won a nearly perfect victory. Juventus was led by Ajax from beginning to end from beginning to end. Ye Qiu used this game to prove his coaching level and tactical strength. Even when facing the cunning Lippi, he could play the Silver Fox with applause."

The live commentator was very impressed by Ye Qiu and Ajax's performance in this game. Even in his opinion, Ye Qiu is fully capable of making himself among the top European coaches with his performance in this game, because he completely occupied an overwhelming victory and Lippi did not pose any threat to him.

Ajax should also use this game to get rid of the titles of dark horses and unpopularity and truly win everyone's recognition. They should even be listed as strong contenders for the Champions League this season.

"Lippi and Juventus may have lost tragically, but they can't blame anyone because all of this was destined for the first leg of the Alp Stadium. From Ajax's away reversal and two away goals, Juventus' away battle would be very difficult.

"But no matter what, the 3:0 score will definitely not represent the whole game. Lippi and his Juventus lost this game in the most regrettable way, but their performance deserves everyone's recognition, especially Lippi, who decisively replaced Salas and Divayo after the second half, almost madly counterattacking."

"We can regard Lippi's substitution as crazy when forced to the point of despair, but this also represents Lippi's courage to give it a try. However, when Ye Qiu was in control of the game, he showed his maturity and stability that was inconsistent with his own age. He made Lippi's madness completely turn into a loser's stubborn resistance."

As the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, at this moment, the entire Arena Stadium fell into unprecedented madness. Fans rushed out of their seats, stood behind the fence, and some even climbed up the railings, cheering and celebrating the team's promotion again.

Many Ajax fans were shouting the players' names, from Van der Fate, Sneider, Robben to Ibrahimovic, to Arteta, to Lucio, to Van der Sar... Finally, they were shouting Ye Qiu.

In this game, Arena Stadium was full, and more than 50,000 Ajax fans were shouting Ye Qiu. The momentum was so loud that it would shake the sky and tear the ground apart, completely destroying the Arena Stadium imprisoned around them to vent their excitement and excitement.

No one knows better than them the pain Juventus brings to Ajax. This Serie A giant is definitely a powerful witness to Ajax's decline, because in the 95/96 season, Ajax, who had the aura of defending the Champions League, tied with Juventus at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, scored a 1-1 draw with Juventus at the Rome Olympic Stadium, but was eventually defeated to the Zebras in a penalty shootout.

Since then, Ajax has fallen all the way, while Juventus has hit the peak of the Champions League final for three consecutive years. Especially in the 1996/97 season that followed, Juventus defeated Ajax 2:1 and 4:1 in the semi-finals, completely sending the Eredivisie giants out of the Champions League, ruining Ajax's dream of reaching the peak of glory again.

It was also this time that everyone knew very well that the Ajax that swept Europa no longer existed. Therefore, more and more players chose to escape from Amsterdam for their dreams and to make their professional peaks more brilliant, which also opened the darkest history of Ajax.

After that, Ajax never met Juventus in the European arena, and the hatred of Ajax fans towards the Zebras cannot be vented. But now, the opportunity has come. When they defeated the Zebras 2:1 away, they slaughtered their opponents 3:0 at home, and then kicked Juventus out of the Champions League with an amazing record of 5:1, which made them feel a sense of vengeance.

The fans are not fools. They also know the football and analysis. They also understand that the reason why Ajax has today is the opportunity to compete with top teams like Juventus, Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​and Real Madrid, and fortunately they are not losing to their opponents. Who brought all this?

Perhaps in normal times, out of low-key position in the head coach, fans have no chance to express their gratitude and love for the head coach, but now, when I have the chance, at Arena Stadium, more than 50,000 fans shouted Ye Qiu in unison, and that momentum was enough to infect everyone on the scene.

Ye Qiu was very moved by the shouts from the fans. He walked from the home team coach's seat to the away team coach's seat, and kept waving to the fans. After coming to the away team coach's seat, he shook hands with Lippi even more politely and politely, and then shook hands with several Lippi's assistants and greeted him.

All the revenge that should be avenged is avenged. Now is the time to show his friendship and demeanor, and Ye Qiu clearly distinguishes this.

When he walked back, Ye Qiu was stopped by his own players. Then he didn't know who it was, so he lifted Ye Qiu up and directly to the middle of the stadium without letting go. He let him look up at the night sky in Amsterdam from the blank space in the middle of the roof of the Arena Stadium covering the surrounding stands.

In early summer, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the weather is good.

"From the beginning of the game, we were trapped in the rhythm and process arranged by our opponents for us. We kept fighting and working hard, but we could only follow the opponent's script. We were in a very unfavorable situation throughout the game, which made us feel very awkward and unable to exert our due strength."

At the post-match press conference, Lippi could not hide his disappointment of being eliminated from the Champions League, and his expression was very painful. Obviously, this crushing defeat had a huge blow to him and made him return to Italy, he would inevitably have to face accusations from fans and the media. Perhaps it would not shake his position as coach, but the impact would be very great.

"For this game, we studied our opponents for a whole week. This is not counting the accurate work of the first round. We arranged very meticulous preparations to deal with any emergencies, but we never got our accurate things out in the game and had no room for performance.

"Long time before the game, I told my players not to think about advancing or the first round of the game. We just need to pay attention to this game, but it is obvious that this is impossible. From the time we were tragically reversed by our opponents in the first round, we were always affected by our opponents."

Lippi's heartbroken analysis also made all the reporters present feel his frustration after his failure.

"Ajax still has a lot of room for improvement, but they're already a world-class team, they have a really good group of players who can attack from various positions, which makes the defense very difficult and has to deal with them very quickly, and we're not doing well enough at this tonight."

Anyone with a little tactical qualities can see that Lippi’s meaning is not that Juventus is not fast, but that Juventus is not fast enough when it should be fast, which directly leads to the team not keeping up with Ajax’s pace and pace.

When a reporter asked about some Juventus players' lack of physical fitness, Lippi took advantage of the situation and found a big and small excuse for his loss.

"You all know that after the winter break, we kept fighting back and forth on multiple fronts, and during our encounter with Ajax, we fought a strong opponent like Inter Milan. In addition, the cruel competitive environment of the league has made our players not excited enough in terms of physical fitness and condition.

"But unfortunately, this is the Champions League, and the schedule will not accommodate anyone, so we have to bear the price ourselves."

It is natural for human nature to make excuses for his failure. After Lippi made an excuse, she never mentioned Conte's mistakes, believing that Conte had shown his due strength and level and made contributions, and should not be criticized.

When facing reporters interviews, as the master and the winner of this game, Ye Qiu also showed his demeanor. He said that Juventus has always been an important benchmark for Ajax, and the team's goal is to catch up with Juventus in the Champions League.

"There is no doubt that this game was a great victory for us because we finally caught up with the goal we have been chasing in the past. I once said that we are a young team, we lack experience and long-term stable performance, which is why everyone is not optimistic about us."

Ye Qiu's words also made many reporters present admit that a large number of people are not optimistic about Ajax because this team is too young, with an average age of early twenties, and such a team is even younger than Van Gaal's youth army back then.

"But I always feel that being young is our disadvantage, but it is also our advantage. Because of being young, we are motivated enough and we are not afraid of losing, because we can afford to lose. If we lose this year, we can come back next year and lose next year, and we can continue to come back the year after tomorrow. We are never afraid of failure!

"Because we are young, we have to pay more than our opponents. We need to rely on more holistic and stable tactics to make up for the ups and downs caused by lack of experience. We need to rely on the power of teamwork to resolve the shortcomings of individual abilities and do our best to narrow the gap between ourselves and our opponents."

"Similarly because we are young, each of us desires success, everyone is full of desire for victory and expects honor, we are more willing to do our best to win a game than our opponents, and we cherish every opportunity in every game more than anyone."

"We are able to get to where we are today because we are young!"

Ye Qiu's words a bit like he wants to overturn all the media's previous statements about Ajax, that is, young does not mean that a team is not good, nor does it mean that Ajax does not have the combat effectiveness of competing with powerful opponents.

There is never absolute in this world, only relative, and everything has two sides.

It is obvious that the group of reporters present were convinced by Ye Qiu's words. Even if they were not convinced, who could give a strong argument for refutation in the face of such bloody victory as Juventus 3:0?

Regarding the team's victory, which made it to the Champions League semi-finals for the second consecutive year, Ye Qiu felt that this was a good refutation of some media evidence, allowing those who thought that Ajax's entry to the semi-finals last year was luck and coincidence to see clearly Ajax's strength.

"I feel very proud to be able to reach the semi-finals again. It will be very difficult for us to face Barcelona, ​​because Antić has successfully brought this team out of the shadow. Eliminating Arsenal into the semi-finals is the strongest evidence, but we will not be afraid, we will face any challenge from our opponents bravely."

When he talked about Ye Qiu, he thought of the beautiful agent, and a trace of glory and desire suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Since that's the case, find an opportunity to arrange for you to meet?" Evarister Mutra smiled.

The Spanish middle-aged man looked at him and laughed: "I'd better not want you to arrange it, otherwise you will definitely arrange a lot of women!"
