As Leo Benhack said, the benefits of high-level defense are obvious.

That is, when Ajax switched from defense to offense, Robben and Van der Fate, two wingers, could always approach the opponent's two full-backs in the shortest time, or even peek at the right time, cutting into the gap between the full-back and the central defender. This is a great advantage for any team's offense.

Because, as long as you have a good passer behind the opponent's defense in the shortest time, then the speed and explosive power of Van der Fate and Robben will be enough to form a counter-offside position in an instant.

Just like this time, Sneider faced Lucio and there was Eindhoven's defensive player behind him, so he didn't let the ball stay under his feet and knocked back to Gilberto Silva. He raised his right hand high and quickly got rid of the defensive player, and ran to the gap.

Gilberto Silva was born in Brazil and his technical skills were not outstanding, but he was definitely not weak. When he saw Sneider raise his hand, he realized that the Dutch midfielder was looking for someone to hit the wall and pass one, so he was like when he was playing the wall-to-bump game in De Tok Moste, he pushed back with a touch of the ball.

After getting rid of it, Sneider adjusted his posture and turned around to face the opponent's half.

The ball came to his feet, and he immediately noticed Robben. Because Oye's side was at a disadvantage in speed, he did not hesitate and rubbed the ball quickly and half a high over the ball, directly behind Oye.

Robben realized this when he saw Sneider facing his side, so he rushed forward quickly at the moment when Sneider passed the ball, using his speed and flexibility to easily shake off Oye. His whole body was like a sharp arrow, quickly penetrated Eindhoven's defense line.

I got the ball, went to catch up, and the whole process was not dragged on, nor was it vague, and the speed of the propulsion did not slow down at all.

"Ajax made a very fast counterattack, and Sneider passed the ball to Robben on the left."

"Robben counterattacked and advanced very fast. He entered Eindhoven's penalty area. Will Eindhoven's goalkeeper Watrus attack?"

"Oh my god, a fake move swings over!!"

"Robben drifted past Watrus and shot the empty goal!!!"

"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!"

"Ajax took the lead in breaking Eindhoven's goal in the 37th minute of the first half!"

"This very wonderful shot score comes from Ajax's winger on the left, Alyan Robben!!"

Amid the roar of the commentator on the scene, all Ajax fans rushed out of their seats as if crazy, rushed to the front of the fence, and shouted loudly, cheering for the Dutch young player who had just joined Ajax and played for the team's first official game!

After swinging past Watrus, Robben pushed the ball into the empty goal. At that moment, his mind was blank. It was not until a thunderous cheer broke out in the audience that he suddenly realized that he had scored!

He rushed out of Eindhoven's penalty area without thinking, waving his hands frantically along the way, shouting constantly, venting his excitement and excitement in his heart, because he represented the traditional Dutch giant Ajax, and the one who broke the goal was the champion of the Dutch Eredivisie last season, Eindhoven!

This was something Robben, who was still in the Groningen youth team a year ago, could not imagine, but now, he has done it!

All Ajax's players rushed out of the court and rushed to the sidelines one by one, surrounding Robben in the middle to celebrate his teammate's first goal, while Robben hugged Sneider, who gave an assist.

Robben's offside was beautiful, his lightning-like dribbling was also beautiful, and even the moment he dribbled past the goalkeeper was equally beautiful, but it was all based on Sneijder's passing by him.

In the live TV screen, the slow-motion replay of Robben's goal was shown. Everyone can clearly see that Ajax's entire process from intercepting the ball to hitting the wall to counter-offside, almost completed in one breath. The players played skillful continuous cooperation, which made it difficult for Eindhoven's defensive players to keep up with Ajax's pace.

"Your training method should be the first priority!" Bobby Hams shouted loudly in his ears while hugging Ye Qiu to celebrate the goal. He is not a fan and will not only pay attention to the players. On the contrary, he knows very clearly that Ye Qiu's training method is the key to the team's quick and skillful cooperation.

Such a cooperation may not work every time, but as long as it works once, the threat will be very great.

"You are the first achievement!" Ye Qiu smiled and hugged Bobby Hams, and then hugged other assistants excitedly, because this goal was not easy, but it boosted the morale of Ajax.

In the stands, when Van Prag saw Ajax score the first goal, the excited Chairman Ajax stood up from his seat and jumped excitedly in the aisle, just like the crazy fans around him, "The goal is scored, we have scored!!"

Leo Benhack didn't have much surprises about this, because he had long felt that high-level defense put a lot of pressure on Eindhoven. As long as one mistake was a small mistake, it could be used by Ajax, especially the three Ajax offensive players, who are very good in their personal abilities.

Robben is good at attacking, with excellent one-on-one ability, Van der Fate's inward cut and last pass are both good, Ibrahimovic suppresses two central defenders on the opponent, and has a strong deterrence between inside and outside the penalty area. Judging from the characteristics, Ajax's three offensive players are very complementary, but they still lack some tacit understanding and contact.

After celebrating excitedly, Van Prager turned his head and looked at Frank Aneson, general manager of Eindhoven not far away. The latter's already sinister expression looked like the corpse that emerged from the coffin, which was a bit gloomy and scary. It was obvious that he was very angry and dissatisfied with Eindhoven being scored.

Van Prager admires this strong general manager more. He is indeed a very capable manager, but the problem is that his power is too strong and his possessiveness is too scary, which is why he is not popular.

Eindhoven did a good job in the club's staffing. The strong Arnesen and a weak Gretz are the important factors in ensuring that Eindhoven's performance has been booming in recent years.

On the contrary, last season, Ajax had problems with management staffing, which led to great turmoil.

Standing on the rostrum and looking at the bottom of the stadium, standing in front of the home team coach's seat, Ye Qiu, who kept commanding the players to re-arrange and stand, Van Prager developed strong confidence in him for the first time.

"Perhaps, he can really bring changes and revival to Ajax!"

Leo Benhack sat aside, heard Van Prager's murmuring, smiled slightly, and said nothing.

…………

The first half ended with a score of 1:0, and Ajax was full of morale.

On the other hand, Eindhoven, who seemed domineering and arrogant before the game, now their players are like defeated roosters, with their heads hanging down and looking like they dare not see anyone, and they have entered the player channel.

Ye Qiu accompanied the players into the home team's locker room. He saw that the players were all in a happy mood talking about some of the things that happened in the first half in the locker room. After all, they were young people. Once they took the lead, they would naturally feel better and their morale would also rise.

The newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, and he is talking about these young men!

"Okay, everyone!" Ye Qiu clapped his hands vigorously and silenced all the players who were full of fun.

"We only have 15 minutes, I'll focus on a few questions!"

As soon as Ye Qiu spoke, the players suddenly became quiet one by one and looked at their head coach.

"First of all, we performed very badly in the first half for a while and were dominated by Eindhoven. This is because we were a little dispersed in the formation. Once Kezman retreated to assist the midfield, our control over the midfield would decline and appear to be very passive. This is not a good phenomenon!"

"I hope to pay attention to this issue in the second half. Once Kezman retreats, one of our two central defenders will follow up and grab it. Gilberto, your position will be forward, Sneider and Keita will be closer to our forward line, do you understand?"

This is just a temporary approach and the risk is also great, but for the time being, Ye Qiu can't find a better solution.

"I hope each of you must understand that the prerequisite for high-level defense is that every player on our three lines must maintain close contact and echo each other. The three lines must be kept compact and orderly and cannot be cut off by the opponent. Otherwise, the large gap behind us will be our most deadly threat!"

Ye Qiu had already talked with the players about this at the tactical preparation meeting, so the players were able to understand the importance of Ye Qiu's words, so they all nodded and agreed.

"There is another one, Zlatan. In the first half, you didn't have close contact and connection with the two wings. You and Robben and Van der Fate only passed 2 and 4 times respectively. This is definitely not a reasonable phenomenon. What we need is a team-based offensive combination, not a single fight!"

Although he scored a goal, in fact, to some extent, it was still the result of a single fight by the forward player.

Robben's goal has little to do with other players, and it is more about midfield support and anti-offside results.

Ibrahimovic raised his head, looked at Ye Qiu, and said nothing, lowered his head again.

Ye Qiu knew that if this kid didn't speak, it means he already knew.

To deal with such a arrogant and strong self-esteem, the endless lessons of chattering can only backfire. It is enough to point out his problems and mistakes. If he understands, he will correct it. If he still doesn't understand, then replace him and let him figure it out carefully on the bench before talking.

"There are also two of our full-backs, Abidal and Heatinga. Once the central defender is on the snatch, your position should be appropriately reduced to the center to fill the gap left by the snatch center defender. Gilberto Silva should provide enough protection in the front, and Keita and Sneider should also actively form the midfield defensive line."

"Remember, everyone, we are a whole and we must fight side by side!" Ye Qiu clenched his right fist and hit the palm of his left hand heavily, making a crisp snap!

…………

…………

In Ye Qiu's opinion, the Ajax team he formed is fully capable of achieving high-level defense and exerting the power of his 433 offensive tactics. However, judging from the warm-up match and this game against Eindhoven, the effect is not very good, and problems occur frequently.

Overall excellent one-foot pass and ball running ability and no-ball running are the basis for ensuring high-level defense of 433 and the core of the team's operation. Excellent attackers can suppress the opponent's defense line at any time, so as to ensure that the opponent's defense line does not dare to press easily and cannot rush to the frontcourt.

With these two points, high-level defense will naturally take shape, and the team's ball control and smooth offense will naturally appear. Ye Qiu's siege and aid can also be played naturally in the opponent's half.

The benefits of besieging the city to attack the aid are obvious. It is not an ordinary defensive steal. He does not pursue snatching the ball at his feet. Besieging the city to attack the aid emphasizes interception, intercepting the opponent's ball route, and intercepting the opponent's pass.

The difference between interception and steal is that interception is when the ball is running halfway. At this time, as long as the interception is intercepted, you can directly strike a counterattack, but steal is not. It is more about grabbing the ball and destroying it within the range of the opponent's players. Therefore, after the steal is successful, the first priority is not to counterattack, but to protect the ball.

There is no doubt that, standing at the height of high-level defense and modern defensive systems, interception is the trend, and the proportion of steals will gradually be divided.

The biggest problem Ajax exposed from this game is that the center and the wings are not close enough, Robben and Ibrahimovic are almost never interacting with each other, and Van der Fat and Ibrahimovic cooperated pitifully.

If enough pressure is not formed on the front line, the opponent's defense line will be more relaxed and the support for the midfield will be greater. Once the midfield is liberated, Ajax's high-level defense will not be able to advance smoothly, and the overall tactics will be suppressed, and even the defense will be affected.

The core of all attack and defense is the organic combination of offense and defense. Whether it is attack or defense is no longer important and it is impossible to distinguish.

Therefore, during the halftime break, Ye Qiu spent a lot of time beating Ibrahimovic in order to improve his connection and interaction with the two sides. In the second half, the situation began to improve, and Ajax naturally began to continue to suppress Eindhoven.

Ye Qiu sat in the coach's seat, holding his chin, watching the game, but his eyebrows showed no sign of loosening.

It's not that he is not satisfied with the game situation. On the contrary, the game process went smoothly. Eindhoven was very uncomfortable with Ajax's high defense. He had let Kyrman retreat before and finally struggled for a while, but Ajax quickly tied him up again.

After being pressed to play in the half of the team for a long time, Eindhoven had a sense of depression and frustration that was powerful and had nowhere to be used.

Bobby Hams, who was sitting next to him, also saw Ye Qiu's worries and smiled, "The situation has been controlled by us, what are you still worried about?"

Ye Qiu smiled, but soon became bleak again. "I was thinking that the problem of dispersed formations and excessive mistakes must be solved, otherwise we will suffer a great loss sooner or later!"

In Ye Qiu's positioning, Ajax's tactics should be able to fight both large-scale frontal offensive positional battles and lightning sneak attacks with defensive counterattacks. However, if the formation is too loose, the problem may not be big when encountering a strong team, but once it encounters a weak team, it will be very serious.

The teams are not as strong as Ye Qiu's Ajax, and the strong teams are unwilling to be willing to defend and counterattack. Just like Eindhoven, they are trying to fight Ajax, which will give Ajax more opportunities to defend at high positions. But if they encounter weak teams with insufficient strength, they are built in the backcourt, and the loose Ajax will inevitably easily fall into individual combat and make more mistakes.

Eindhoven is a very obvious example. Their forward attack, midfield organization and interception, and defender defense are clearly distinguished and well organized, but under the impact of Ajax's high-level defense, they seem very mechanical and can easily be cut open.

Bobby Hams had to smile after hearing this.

He affirmed Ajax's high-level defense. Ye Qiu also put a lot of effort into preparation, but it is obvious that the cumbersome and complex system cannot be completed overnight, especially in recent games, which have exposed many problems, which will bring Ye Qiu a headache.

But, Bobby Hams couldn't help Ye Qiu too much.

Just when Ye Qiu was having a headache, the Ajax players on the court finally created another opportunity.

After the morale was very weak in the second half, Eindhoven was unable to get rid of Ajax's high-level defense restrictions and finally made another fatal mistake. The side ball that Van Bomel gave to Boma was poked to Van der Fate by Sneider.

Van der Fate dribbled the ball and drove straight into the right side, and soon broke into Eindhoven's penalty area. Facing the central defender Nikiforov who was returning to defense, Van der Fate made an emergency stop and cut inward, knocked his left foot across the middle, and Ibrahimovic, who was inserted in the back row, shot with a strong and powerful shot.

The ball almost penetrated Eindhoven's goal against the turf. Goalkeeper Watrus could not stop Ajax from scoring again, and could only watch Ibrahimovic rewrite the score to 2:0!

The Ajax fans in the audience cheered and celebrated wildly again.
Chapter completed!
