Chapter 32 New Goals
The new training method has very good results in training players to stop the ball at a fast pace, pass the ball and touch the ball with one kick. After all, practice makes perfect. When players become proficient in the training field, they can use it freely in the game.
Moreover, through Ye Qiu's long-term research, it was found that this training method is also of great help to the players' physical fitness.
Just imagine that long-term uniform speed and directional running around the square are also required for players.
The upgraded version of the new training method is actually upgraded based on the original.
It is still in the square that is 10 meters times 10 meters, and it is still divided into four corners of ABCD. BCD each occupy one person, and the other 5 people are all in Area A, and they also serve the ball from A to B, which is the same as before the upgrade.
The difference is that when A serves B and immediately runs to position B, the player in position B knocks the ball back to A immediately, and then runs to C. The player A who runs to B gets the ball back to B halfway and passes it directly to C. After receiving the ball, the player C knocks back to B who is running to position C, and then runs to D by himself, and B passes to D by obliquely, and this cycle is like this.
This practice routine actually tests the players' pass and catch cooperation, but this time it adds a lot of difficulties. First of all, it is triangle coordination, especially when running at high speed, observing the back-knocking of the companions, such as judging the timing of the back-knocking, which is very important in this kind of training.
This kind of training requires high requirements for players' ability to pass and catch back and match tacitly, and also requires higher ability to pass, stop and touch the ball with one kick than the basic version, and also has higher running ability.
Triangular coordination is the most basic element in modern football systems, and this kind of back-knocking and running are also very common in competitions. For example, the common 2-by-1 or even continuous wall collisions are actually included in this set of training, so such a set of training methods can be said to be very close to actual combat.
Ye Qiu has learned about this upgraded training method. He feels that the so-called upgrade is actually an upgrade on the basic version, but both training methods are very useful, so he decided to persist and implement it for a long time in the training class so that the players can train as much as their arms and fingers.
After the battle with Eindhoven, the morale of the Ajax team 2 was greatly boosted, and the players all admired Ye Qiu and were full of energy. Whatever Ye Qiu asked them to do now, they would do it without any discount.
Just like when he first started training new training methods, although he had the foundation of new training methods, he also had many mistakes when he first started practicing the upgraded version. But this time Ye Qiu was not afraid because he had two weeks to train players and prepare for the game slowly.
Defeating Eindhoven made Ye Qiu famous in one fell swoop, but that was limited to Amsterdam. In the Netherlands, many people have only heard of him, but in Europe, their influence is even weaker, and they can even be said to have little fame, because now the mainstream Europeans are paying attention to the four major leagues, who cares about the Netherlands?
However, this also brought good benefits to Ye Qiu, which was that he could avoid the entanglement of reporters.
Utrecht's record in the Eredivisie has never been very ideal. Since the 1980s, although he has been relegated in the Eredivisie every season, he is basically in the middle and lower reaches. After picking up the young coach Mark Walter, who is only 39 years old, from The Hague this season, the team's performance has never been satisfactory.
But one very interesting thing is that Udrecht scored 7 wins, 1 draw and 10 losses.
This is definitely a surprising record, because they actually have only one draw, and the others either lose or win.
At least when you see this result, it is not difficult to guess the Udrecht style.

"Mark Watt?"
In the medical department without Huang Chu, Ye Qiu, Bobby Hams, Van Dude, and his two assistants were chatting. Ye Qiu asked the two seniors about Utrecht's head coach Mark Walter.
The Netherlands is actually very small, so the football circle is even smaller.
"I remember this person!" Bobby Hams laughed and tasted Tieguanyin brought by Ye Qiu from his hometown. "Speaking of this, he has been favored by many people in the past two years. I remember he debuted in Feyenoord and later went to The Hague. However, after playing for a year in The Hague, he performed poorly and also worked as a youth team coach for half a year."
"I went to Dodrecht in 1983, and two years later returned to The Hague as a coach for the youth team. Then I was promoted to the first team in 1990. In 1991, I coached The Hague as a head coach, but my performance was not good, so I returned to the youth team. It was not until 1994 that I coached alone in the amateur league. I had a good performance within two years and was invited back by The Hague."
"In the two years in The Hague, he brought the Hague, who was almost relegated, to the 8th league in his first season, to the 5th league in his second season, and to the European competition almost reached the European competition. At that time, many people were very optimistic about the young coach and believed that he would become the best young coach in the Netherlands."
When he said this, Bobby Hams laughed and shook his head, "But his coaching in Utrecht this season still seems too immature. The team's overall strength is unbalanced, with too few draws, too many losses, and not getting high points. Naturally, the ranking is also declining all the way, Utrecht's results are also half dead!"
Ye Qiu couldn't tell that the 39-year-old Mark Watt was so famous and had a great reputation.
"Some people say that the league depends on offense, but in my opinion, defense is the foundation!"
Bobby Hams smiled at Ye Qiu and nodded, "Yes, without a good and solid defense, the ups and downs of the victory and loss are too big, the results are not continuation, and the points are not efficient and continuous. Just like in Udrecht this season, there is always a feeling of placing his head around his waist and betting on his life with others. He either wins and gets 3 points, or loses nothing!" After saying that, Hams shook his head and laughed.
Perhaps, this is what he said, Mark Watt is too immature.
The offense and defense in football are somewhat similar to the yin and yang sides of China's Tai Chi. If you have me and I have you, it is difficult to distinguish who is more important than who, and you cannot give up the other side to survive alone.
Ye Qiu once carefully studied his game against Eindhoven. Putting aside other factors, he finally came to a conclusion that in addition to a solid overall defense, several counterattacks played an important role.
The threatening counterattack made Gretz clearly see that Ajax second team has enough ability to threaten their goal, so Eindhoven did not dare to press too much when attacking. They had to pay attention to the problem of defense behind them, which made them unable to invest their maximum forces in the offense.
Perhaps it can be said that the greater the threat of counterattack, the less troops Eindhoven will put into the attack, because they have to take into account the counterattack.
But it must also be seen that the counterattack of Ajax II is based on a solid defense.
So, the question is, is offense important or defense important?
This will definitely evolve into a discussion of whether there is a chicken first and then an egg first or an egg later!
Ye Qiu also learned in his previous life that the so-called offense of the league is just an illusion. Teams that can win the championship are generally teams with ups and downs in a big state. Such teams are generally balanced offense and defense, and they score very steadily.
Of course, it is not without Capello's second coach of Real Madrid, or Rijcard's coach of Barcelona, but that kind of counterattack depends on the right time, place, and people. Which head coach would pin his hopes for winning the championship in this way, even Capello and Rijcard themselves are not sure about?
Therefore, for a truly strong team and a team with championship appearance, both offense and defense must be very balanced, and score points are also very efficient.
"What? I thought about how to fight Udrecht?" Bobby Hams asked when he saw a smile on Ye Qiu's lips.
"I have been studying Utrecht's data these days. I have conducted a statistics myself and found something very interesting, that is, this Utrecht team has few draws, but there are few reversals and second half goals. Almost all of their winning games were the attack after the start of the first half!"
This is the result of Ye Qiu's own efforts. Because he could not see the first-team scouts submitted to Waters and Westhoff, he used a more stupid method, which was to watch the video himself or collect some data and count it himself.
In the end, he came to a conclusion that Udrecht won almost all the first goals, and they scored in the first half, many of which were concentrated in the first 20 minutes, or even the first 10 minutes. If they didn't score more than 20 minutes, they would definitely lose.
That draw was when they scored in the 39th minute, but they were quickly equalized by the opponent, and the two sides tied 1:1.
"So..." Bobby Hams is admiring Ye Qiu more and more.
When it comes to coaching talents, these are difficult to change, but diligence can make up for shortcomings. This sentence also works for a head coach, but the premise is that you have to know how to be diligent and in which aspects you are diligent, so that you can make up for shortcomings.
Ye Qiu undoubtedly has excellent talent and diligence that most people do not have.
"So, I won't make them feel comfortable!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.
When Bobby Hams heard him playing a puzzle, he also pointed at him with a laugh and scolded him, but he could also vaguely guessed it.
"By the way, Bobby, I haven't thanked you yet. Eric has made great progress recently and his emotions are much better than before. Thank you!" Ye Qiu thought of Abidal. If it weren't for Bobby Hams' words, Abidal might not have been enlightened.
"That kid is a piece of uncensored jade, you have to carve it well." Bobby Hams also admired Abidal.
In the war of football, only those who never give in can laugh to the end.
"Actually, coaching a team is not as difficult as others imagined!" Bobby Hams has a very good impression of Ye Qiu, so when talking on weekdays, they will also say something that will benefit Ye Qiu a lot. Now that Abidal is mentioned, Bobby Hams doesn't mind saying more.
Decades of coaching career and experience have made Bobby Hams’ casual insights extraordinary.
"The teams are becoming more and more international, such as Eindhoven. The reason why they can quickly form a strong lineup is because their players are not only the Dutch, but also from Africa, other European countries, and South America. These players are from all over the world and have various beliefs, personalities and taboos."
"How to manage such a group of people is a headache for every head coach!" Bobby Hams said lightly, but Ye Qiu listened very seriously, with a teaching attitude.
"No head coach can make everyone in the locker room friendly and friendly. All he can do is to work together in the overall situation of the club and work together for a goal. This requires the head coach to understand the players, understand from them what the players want, and then manage him through this!"
"In addition, the head coach also needs to find some common ground from every player. If there is no common ground, then create a common ground for them. For example, set a goal for them so that they can understand in their hearts that they have to fight for this goal, so that a team can form combat effectiveness!"
Ye Qiu nodded unstoppablely. This may be what the saying goes, twisted together!
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu couldn't help but think of another thing.
Bobby Hams seemed to be talking about experience at this time, but in fact, wasn’t he also reminding Ye Qiu?
Ajax II's goal this season is to win the championship in the Dutch Youth League One, but after defeating Eindhoven, this goal is no longer so difficult for Ajax II, which has a strong morale. Or it can be said that the mentality of the players has changed and they will be eager to get higher goals.
In order to defeat Eindhoven, they could have tied up together. Now, if they defeat Eindhoven and have no new goals, they may become a mess.
After understanding this, Ye Qiu smiled and nodded at Bobby Hams, "Thank you, Bobby!"
"No need to thank me, I didn't say anything!" Bobby Hams shook at Van Dudd and laughed.
…………
…………
The next day, when the players came to the second team locker room in DeTok Most, each of them could clearly see a large piece of paper sticking to the walls of the locker room with two schedules printed on it.
One of the schedules is tree-shaped. Starting from the second round of the Ajax team, Ajax II listed three opponents in the past three rounds of the Netherlands Cup. At the top of the tree, there are two games before they can rise to the top of the tree-shaped shape. Among them, the names of the three professional teams, Eindhoven and Udrecht, are all written on it, and the first two teams still have scores.
Seeing this schedule chart, the players were very clear that the head coach was reminding them that the team was defeating the Progress Eagles and Eindhoven to the present, and the next opponent was Udrecht.
Below the schedule, there is a sentence written: Let all professional teams remember the names of each of us from now on!
Another schedule is relatively simple, and everyone can clearly see it at a glance that this is the second half of the Dutch Youth League One. There have been 13 rounds now, and there are 13 rounds left in the second half. Then, who is the opponent in each round, is clearly written, making people clear at a glance.
There is also a saying under the schedule: There is only one goal, the champion!
Two schedules, let all the players stand in front of them and stare blankly, because they all know what it means.
In the history of Dutch football, many second teams have participated in the Dutch Cup, but no second team has ever won the Dutch Cup. If they really win the championship, then their group will undoubtedly be recorded in the history of Dutch football!
Especially if they can win the Youth League One championship again, they will become the most legendary double champion in Dutch football history. What will it bring to them? Do you need to say more?
They are all a group of professional players, and some of them have even had the ability to live by playing football, but there are differences in life by playing football. Should they become the lowest professional players, or go to the next level, or even climb to the top of professional football?
This is undoubtedly the dream in the minds of all Ajax second team players, and not everyone can realize it, but now they have a chance because playing against Dutch professional teams is undoubtedly the best platform!
"This will make the whole of Europe know us!" Van der Fate was a little surprised, his voice trembling, but he was laughing and excited.
Many players have a sense of fanaticism in their eyes because they are all a group of ambitions and ambitions, and they all want to continue on the road of football. This belief supports them from the Ajax Youth Team to the current second team.
For them, the opportunity is right in front of them. As long as they move forward and move forward, they will have a chance to succeed!
"Is this possible?" But there is certainly a lack of confidence.
Abidal smiled coldly and disdainfully, "What's impossible? Even Eindhoven can do it. Can't do it? "
Whenever Eindhoven was mentioned, the blood of this group of young people was boiling.
"Yes, we have killed Eindhoven's team. Is there any team in the Netherlands that is stronger than Eindhoven?" Sneder was also very motivated, just like a warlike rooster.
Although beating Eindhoven does not mean that they can defeat other teams, in the hearts of this group of young people, being able to defeat Eindhoven has brought them unprecedented confidence and courage, making them more motivated than ever to meet the challenges of every next game.
Chapter completed!
