Chapter 107 New Van Gaal?
"Ajax's offensive was very fierce, and this group of young people completely suppressed Barcelona and attacked!"
"It's still Ajax's right side, and it's still right-back Brazilian Macon, who was inserted forward into the frontcourt to participate in the assist."
"Maikon dribbled the ball forward on the right, Sergi went to guard, Maikon slowed down and seemed to be about to cross..."
"Beautiful, a fake move that seemed to be about to cross was actually passing the ball to Van der Fate in the penalty area."
"Van der Fate took the ball and broke through to the bottom line. If you want to get rid of the defensive players, Guardiola always follows the defense. See if Van der Fate can use speed to create opportunities!"
"It's a pity that Guardiola has a lot of experience. Van der Fate was blocked and could only pass it back to his teammate Macon outside."
"Maikon is crossed!!"
"The ball hit Sergi who was defending. Rezig headed the ball in the middle and went to the left!"
"Robben!! Robben from Ajax's left side was inserted and he directly shot with a left foot from the outside of the penalty area!"
"Danger!!!"
"The ball hit Rezig's hand. Is it a penalty?"
"The referee did not make a penalty, the ball fell at Ibrahimovic's feet, one-on-one with Debor!"
"Turn around, pretty, the Swedes successfully turned around and shot!"
"The ball is in!!!"
"Ibrahimovic, Ibrahimovic, played a hat trick!!"
"This Swedes scored his third goal in his personal game, and it was just less than ten minutes into the second half. His second goal helped Ajax lead Barcelona 3:1!"
"A very, very beautiful goal fully reflects Ibrahimovic's use of his body. From the slow motion, we can easily see that Ibrahimovic easily knocked Debor with his body. Then he turned around skillfully and shot directly, pierced through the goal guarded by Reina!"
"In the 53rd minute of the second half, Ajax scored two goals in a row, 3:1!"
As the live commentator said so many words in one breath, all the Ajax fans waved their arms wildly to celebrate, 3:1, after the second half, the team they supported completely pushed Barcelona out of temper.
In less than 10 minutes, Ajax's offense was very sharp and very impactful.
"We can see that Ajax is becoming more and more confident now. Whether it is Van der Fate's breakthrough against Guardiola in the penalty area, Macon's assist on the right, or even Robben's long shot without hesitation after getting the ball on the left, these fully reflect the confidence and fighting spirit of Ajax, a group of young players."
"The very surprising second half. We originally thought that after the first half of the defeat, Ajax's situation would become more difficult, but who would have thought that Ye Qiu's tactics became more active and proactive in the second half, and even replaced the poorly performed Van der Mede, Ajax's attack on the right became very active and planned attacks again and again!"
"Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a young center who is only 19 years old and less than 20 years old, not only gained a firm foothold in Ajax, but also scored a hat trick in the UEFA Cup final. This game will surely make him famous completely. He is such an incredible genius!"
The live TV screen kept replaying Ajax's two goals just now, almost all of which were exactly the same.
That is to attack from the right and support it on the left, but Ibrahimovic in the middle completely suppressed two Barcelona's central defenders. Whether they were controlling the air or on the ground, they had no choice but to use the tall and powerful Ibrahimovic.
"This is also an old problem in Barcelona's defense line. They generally trust a relatively flexible central defender with certain technical skills. However, such players are often not tall, just like Rezig, who was born in a right-back before, but Barcelona is currently playing in the central defender."
"Short players have natural flaws in the control area. This does not mean that they are short and not top central defenders. Just like Cannavaro and Samuel perform very well, but that is based on their partner with a sufficient height and strength. There are really not many teams like Barcelona who trust two short central defenders."
"In La Liga, Barcelona's defense line was threatened by a group of high centers such as Morientes and **. Now he encountered Ajax and Ibrahimovic, who was taller and more skilled, was a Swedish center. He was simply an astonishing striker. With time, he will definitely be able to perform surprisingly in the European arena."
While the on-site commentator was analyzing, the competition had already started again.
After the start of the second half, Barcelona had to accept a cruel reality, that is, Ajax once again brought the situation of the game back to the first 10 minutes of the first half through high defense and high-intensity midfield and frontcourt pressure. This time, Ajax performed more resolutely and more targetedly.
Ye Qiu's team flew up the two wings in the second half and did a good job. Robben on the left was more fighting alone, while Van der Fate and Macon on the right were working together, especially Macon's back insertion, which was very threatening and secretive. He played a key role in both goals.
When Ajax pulled the rhythm back to the state they knew and liked, Barcelona's idea of patiently controlling the ball was completely shattered. They either kept their slow pace and let Ajax fight slowly at a fast pace, or were forced to follow Ajax quickly.
The former is dangerous because they are likely to be pulled out of the gap and exploited, while the latter forces them to make more and more adventurous passes, such as long passes, which will make them less time to possess the ball.
Ferrer now knew very well that he needed to make changes and adjust them, but he was unsure of how to change and how to adjust them.
The four defenders cannot move, this is the basis of Barcelona's defense, and the two back midfielders cannot move. The combination of Guardiola and Cocu is the source of stability in Barcelona's midfield. So what about the frontcourt?
Cruivitt performed very badly. He had almost no impressive performance except for the scene where he failed to get a pass several times and complained to his teammates. But Ye Qiu dared to defeat Van der Mede, who had no performance in the midfield. Does Ferrer dare to defeat Cruivitt?
There is also Rivaldo. The Brazilian always waits for the ball in front, does not participate in defense, and does not perform well. Luis Enrique's performance in this game was not exciting enough, and there is only one Ovemas in the frontcourt, which is quite good.
When Ferrer swept this round, he was depressed to find out who could he replace?
Any one is better than him!
And even if you change people, you have to have routines and ideas. How to fight after the change people?
There are not many players on Barcelona's bench, but there are almost no players who can change the game!
Are you counting on Simao and Centen? Or Xavi and Iniesta? Or Hrad?
Don't be stupid. Ye Qiu replaced Van der Med with Van der Med in order to give up the right-hand impact style and instead adopt the offensive routine of the full-back. For this reason, he sacrificed Keita and allowed the Mari midfielder to return behind Gilberto Silva, sometimes more like a midfielder.
However, this adjustment was very obvious. In the second half, Ajax scored one round of attacks and scored two goals. Ferrer did not expect this and was caught off guard.
Thinking of this, Ferrer suddenly felt depressed, because even if he reversed Ajax now, he would not be able to escape the end of get out of class, because those proud Ajax directors would never allow their team to be beaten so miserably by a Dutch Eredivisie team, and they would be powerless to fight back.
Especially that damn Rexach!
Looking at Ye Qiu, who was sitting upright in the visiting team's coaching seat, Ferrer suddenly felt envious. The small team has the benefits of a small team. Although coaching a wealthy family can make you successful and become famous overnight, the troubles and troubles that follow, and even the intrigues and power disputes in the locker room and management are enough to make any head coach feel like a big head coach.
In this case, which head coach can concentrate on the game?
"After all, I've underestimated you!" Ferrer looked at Ye Qiu and said to himself with a wry smile.
The win in the warm-up match at the beginning of the season made Ferrer, who was ambitious at the time, who thought he could lead Barcelona to revival and achieved world-renowned results, did not take Ajax at all. At that time, Ferrer only had top European clubs such as Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Manchester United.
A year later, Ferrer was worn out and his edges were worn out. He no longer had the ambitions he had at the time. Now everyone looked at him as if he was watching someone who was about to get out. Sometimes no one even listened to what he said in the locker room, because everyone knew that he was about to leave.
What an ironic comparison!
Just when Ferrer's heart was filled with sighs, confusion, and resentment of not being able to appreciate his talent, Ajax scored another goal!
Still attacking from the right, Maicon inserted into the frontcourt again. After cooperating with Van der Fate on the right, he could not find a chance and hit Sneider, who was undefensive in the midfield.
Sneider has always been known for his solid skills, but this time, when facing Guardiola, he chose to dribble the ball and inserted it from the right side to the left side, which immediately disrupted Barcelona's defensive deployment. Guardiola and Cocu both came to double-team him.
Sneider looked confident and had a flexible hand-to-hand ball. He passed the ball between Rezig and Puyol before Guardiola and Cocu. Robben on the left quickly threw away Puyol, grabbed the ball first and then walked into the penalty area. Facing goalkeeper Reina, he calmly shot and pierced through Barcelona's goal, 4:1!
This goal completely destroyed Barcelona's fighting spirit, and completely destroyed their will to equalize the score and even reverse the situation, forcing them to begin to accept failure and reality!
After scoring the goal, Ajax's players celebrated on the sidelines, leading by 3 goals. They are now more confident than ever. From Sneijder's courage to play with skills in front of Guardiola and Koku, we can see how strong their confidence is at this moment.
Yes, I have never experienced a big battle and I will never know how strong I am, how big the gap between me and the world's top players, and what kind of results I can achieve on the stage of world football.
This group of Ajax players was completely activated!
They are young, they are inexperienced, and they are still on the road to improvement, but in the past season, they have completely proved one thing with their strength, that is, they can do whatever they want!
Roma, Liverpool, Barcelona...
A dazzling team has now become a defeated player who falls at Ajax's feet.
After the team scored the fourth goal in the 64th minute, Ye Qiu immediately made a substitution, and right back Haitinga replaced Maikon, who performed well, which was a signal to strengthen the defense.
This is also knowledgeable, because as the game deepens, the players' physical energy consumption becomes more and more serious. If they cannot substitute in time or adjust their tactics, after the physical energy consumption reaches a certain level, Ajax will definitely lose control of the rhythm and control of the game again. At that time, if Barcelona wants to counterattack, their strength advantage will be reflected very clearly, which will make Ajax very passive.
The third substitution was to replace Robben with Hleb. The latter was obviously overdrawn by the 72 minutes and could not run any longer. Ye Qiu replaced Robben with Hleb, allowing the Belarusians to take on the left offensive.
While making substitutions, Ajax's defense line is gradually returning to its normal position and no longer forward pressure. The reason is very simple, because as Ajax consumes physical energy, the pressure and control of the midfield will decline. If the trade is rashly pressing forward, the risk is too great.
Moreover, now Ajax has enough advantages in hand, why take risks again?
Barcelona tried to attack a few times, especially Ovemas and Rivaldo on the left to cooperate, but Ajax also paid enough attention to this, repeatedly resolved their attacks, and prevented Barcelona from threatening Ajax's goal again and again.
Over time, Barcelona players began to become discouraged.
Finally, Barcelona seemed to have accepted this failure. When Ajax returned to his feet, they all lost their interest in pressing down and swayed on the court like a lonely ghost.
In the stands, Ajax fans were ready to go. They were waiting for the moment when referee Kolina blew the end of the game. They would celebrate the team's winning of the League Cup with cheers all over the sky!
In the visiting team coach's seat, Ajax's staff, players on the bench, Robben and Van der Mede, who were replaced by Ye Qiu, had already been waiting on the sidelines. They were waiting for the referee to blew the whistle. They would rush into the court as soon as possible and celebrate this finally-reached victory with all their teammates.
"It is hard for us to believe that it was Ye Qiu and his Ajax who had an absolute advantage in this game, because before the game, more people felt that Barcelona's overall strength was more advantageous, but Ajax completely defeated Barcelona with their strong impact and excellent fast-paced football."
"This is a very, very young team. There is not even a big-name star in this team. This reminds us of the past. In the history of Ajax, there have been several similar teams, such as the Michels era, and the Van Gaal era. They all brought out a young but full of vitality, strength, personality, and talented stars!"
"Before, I was not familiar with Ajax and did not understand it. I believe that many fans who were standing in front of the TV were like me and did not care about the Eredivisie, but I believe that from today on, we should take good care of the Eredivisie, because there is a young team with genius rising rapidly, and there is a group of footballers who are full of desire for the future and hungry for the championship, striving hard!"
“Its name is Ajax!”
The live TV camera swept over a famous Ajax player and finally fell on Ye Qiu.
I believe that at this moment, fans around the world must have a completely different look when they see Ye Qiu, because this time, there is a layer of halo on his head, the League Cup champion!
This is a heavyweight championship trophy with a value of only second to the European Champions League, and it is also the first footballer in China to stand on the top of Europe's podium in history.
"This is Ajax's head coach, Ye Qiu from China. He is only 26 years old and very young, but he has brought out a team full of attack power. At this moment, in the Ajax fan stands at Westphalon Stadium, many Ajax fans have already put out slogans and banners to retain their head coach in various ways!"
"In his first season in coaching Ajax, Ye Qiu led the team to the runner-up in the Eredivisie League, won the Dutch Cup, and won the Cruyff Cup. Now, there is another heavy League Cup championship in his championship window!"
"Perhaps, at this moment, Ajax's management should rethink and adjust some of the club's decisions, because letting go of such a head coach will inevitably be a huge loss for Ajax, and we have absolutely reason to look forward to it. If we leave Ajax, I believe that next season, we will have the possibility of watching this magical and young Chinese head coach on the stage of the four major European leagues!"
With the commentator's remarks, referee Corina finally blew the whistle to the end of the game.
At this moment, all Ajax fans cheered loudly, and all the staff and players rushed into the stadium, celebrating their second League Cup championship in the history of the club!
And I believe that at this moment, the same questions will arise in the minds of all Ajax fans.
In 1992, Van Gaal coached Ajax's first season, winning the first League Cup in club history for the team. Nine years later, Ye Qiu also won another League Cup for the club in his first season.
Chapter completed!
