Chapter 125 The genius coach
Mali's heroic midfielder made Bayern Munich hate Monaco!
The Dutch Guards won the European Super Cup and set off a youth storm!
The young coach overturned the veteran famous coach, who said that second is worse than first?
...
The next day, major European mainstream media reported on the European Super Cup in Monaco. They generally praised Ajax's wonderful performance in this game, believing that this young Ajax showed strong potential and competitiveness.
After the game, Sky TV in the UK specially created a commentary program about this game. The famous host Andy Gray and his partner Richard Keith were responsible for hosting this commentary program, and gave Ye Qiu a high praise in the program, believing that his troops in this game even surpassed Heathfield.
And the next day, they put this comment on the official website of Sky TV.
"I believe that before the game, there must be many people who are not optimistic about Ajax. Although this team won the League Cup last year, their overall strength is very different from Bayern Munich. But it is obvious that from the beginning of the game, they have shown a unique temperament." Andy Grey analyzed.
"A temperament that is not willing to give in and not afraid of the strong!" Richard Keith added.
"Yes, I believe this temperament comes directly from their head coach, the young Chinese Ye Qiu, who dared to challenge in person and make bold statements at the award ceremony that UEFA live broadcast to the world. This can be said to be very bold, but it can also be said to be a person with strong backbone and fighting spirit!"
"This obviously affects Ajax, so we can see that even if you are facing Bayern Munich who is arrogant, Ajax is not afraid at all. As soon as you come up, no matter you are the lion king Kahn, no matter you are the tiger Effenberg, no matter you are the Brazilian god striker Elber, I will beat you down!"
Richard Kees agreed, "Yes, sometimes on the football field, this momentum is very important because it can affect the performance of players. So we can see that in the first half, Bayern Munich was completely stunned by Ajax's lifeless style of playing, and they were a little at a loss!"
"Poor Germans, they would never have thought they would be forced into such a miserable situation by a junior who was so young, with a far inferior to theirs, but we must also admit that the Germans are obviously slow to get into the state, which may have something to do with their previous league games." Andy Grey reminded.
"If Ajax completely gained the advantage in the first half and Ye Qiu's tactics completely suppressed Heathfield, then the famous European coach in Germany who just won the Best Coach of the Year Award will start to exert force in the second half, giving Ajax a series of slaps at the beginning, almost dazzling the young guards!"
Richard Kees laughed, "This is the head coach's wits and strength. We can see that Ye Qiu's adjustment is obviously very fast. On the one hand, you used Heathfield's midfield twice, and I took advantage of it once. And the lead of 3:0 in the first half was obvious, so he quickly adjusted and interrupted Bayern Munich's performance!"
"The wits and strength of the two head coaches in the second half was really wonderful, and every substitution played a key role. Whether it was Heathfield or Ye Qiu, the choice of the time for substitution, the clever use of tactical adjustments, the use and positioning of their own players are almost impeccable!"
"The reason why Bayern lost the game is mainly because they were suppressed too much in the first half. The two central defenders were obviously not as tall as Ibrahimovic, but they were forced to hit the penalty area. Isn't this clearly using their own shortcomings to touch the opponent's strengths?"
"So you think the Germans are seeking death this time?" Richard Kees asked with a smile.
Andy Gray laughed, "If Ajax hadn't seized the opportunity and the players were not strong enough, Bayern Munich would have been given at least 5 goals in the first half of the game, so Ajax deserved it!"
Since the World Cup final in 1966, there has been an irreconcilable contradiction between Germany and Britain.
Before this final, the German team had never defeated the UK for decades, and after that final, since 1968, the German team had never lost to the UK. These two teams were a bit like enemies in history. You bullied me, I bullied you, and they had a deep relationship with each other, so many British football programs like to make fun of Germany's bad luck.
This is not just about Sky TV, which is afraid that the world will not be in chaos, but also made the front page headlines on the "Times", which is known as the century-old newspaper. The title seems fair, but it is somewhat biased: Ajax is brave and Bayern Munich is defeated!
Whether from the score or the process, 4:3 is a narrow victory, but The Times believes that "on Monaco's neutral stage, Ajax's performance undoubtedly makes people re-recognize the strength of this old Dutch team. This team led by a Chinese coach who is only 26 years old and a group of young people with an average age of less than 20 have completely defeated the Champions League championship last season, which is indeed incredible."
"In this game, Ajax's young players performed very well, whether it was Ibrahimovic who was watched by Arsenal this summer, or Keita and Gilberto Silva of Ajax midfielders, the performance of young players Sneijder Sneijder was also impressive, and the outstanding performance of the new Cruyff Van der Fate and the new Ovemas Robben also brought countless surprises."
"On the contrary, the German team created almost no threat in the game, especially in the first half. Kahn was tested again and again. Although he also showed the strength of the world's top goalkeeper, it was a pity that he could not save the team alone, while the central defender was teased by Ibrahimovic again and again. Bayern Munich looked bulky overall, while Ajax was like performing light dance steps."
"In the second half, Ye Qiu's performance was very impressive. He was the biggest contributor to the team's victory in this game. Every substitution adjustment hit the key point of Heathfield. This gives us absolutely reasonable reason to believe that Ajax's success is not accidental. In this year's Champions League, Ajax may have the opportunity to become an amazing dark horse!"
The English media were excited about the battle between the Dutch and German teams, which was indeed a bit strange. Perhaps in their opinion, this is a kind of thought that the enemy is the enemy and the friend.
On the contrary, the Amsterdam Evening Post in the Netherlands seems more pertinent. They believe that Ajax's performance is indeed very commendable, but Bayern Munich's strength is unquestionable. Ajax's success is tactics and the success of head coach Ye Qiu in the game. It should not give too many unrealistic fantasies and sustenances to this game.
Shuld Mosso of the Joint Daily also wrote an article in the newspaper.
"This is a classic final. The first half was the stage of Ajax's performance. Ye Qiu and his youth army completely controlled the previous 45 minutes, but in the second half, Bayern Munich began to wake up and exert force. They began to show the strength of the top team and the resilience of the German team, threatening Ajax again and again."
"We should thank Ye Qiu for his calm adjustments and substitutions on the sidelines again and again, which made us finally laugh. Through this game, I believe that all doubts about Ye Qiu's coaching ability should disappear, because his performance in this game is definitely at the level of a first-class coach in Europe!"
In addition to the Dutch media, German media are also covering the game.
The kickers also published a comment today to analyze the three reasons why Bayern Munich lost: "First, Ajax was obviously more fully prepared before the game and targeted tactics, and their condition adjustment was also better. So in the first 45 minutes, Ajax played in a better state than Bayern Munich."
"Second, Bayern Munich's midfield was obviously suppressed. When Effenberg was contained, Bayern Munich's offensive and defensive transition encountered problems. We were obviously not prepared for this situation, especially Jerry Mess, who had just recovered from injury, failed to take on the heavy responsibility of assisting Effenberg, and Sauer did not do enough in this regard."
"In the end, the tactical arrangements and on-site command of Ajax's head coach Ye Qiu were indeed very surprising. This is not the performance that a young coach who is only 26 years old should have. We cannot think of any other adjectives except for using genius to describe his observation of the situation of the game and his sense of adjustment of the timing of the game."
"But Bayern's performance was not completely useless. At least the team showed impressive strength in the second half, and at the same time they almost had the opportunity to turn the game around. However, they were not lucky enough to be the first German team to win the European Super Cup!"
It was also after the report of the kicker that most fans discovered that no German team had ever received this honor in the history of the European Super Cup. I believe this must have disappointed many Bayern Munich fans.
On the front page of the photo newspaper, a special score was created, in which Bayern, including Robert Kovac, Kufour, Lizarazu and other players failed the performance, and even the lowest score represents 5 points with zero points, while Ajax is mostly around 2 points, among which Ibrahimovic got 1 point with full score.
In addition, in terms of the ratings of the two head coaches, Ye Qiu got a full score of 1 point, the reason was that this young head coach was the biggest contributor to Ajax's game, and his on-site command in this game was definitely the first-class in Europe.
Heathfield scored 2 points. "Although there were mistakes and flaws in the first half and the loss of this game, Heathfield performed well in the second half. It's a pity that he met Ye Qiu, who performed very well in this game, the Chinese took the lead step by step, and the team that beat Heathfield could only lose."
After this game, it seemed that the whole of Europe had re-recognized Ajax.
If everyone beat so many giant teams against Ajax last season and finally won the League Cup, and still has a dark horse and luck component similar to Alaves, and will be completely beaten back to its original state at most in one season, then after this game, they will have to re-recognize Ajax, and at least reconsider the strength and potential of this team.
You should know that the youngest head coach and the youngest lineup, such a team often means the stronger as time and game experience accumulates.
Sure enough, after playing this game, two teams immediately asked Ajax for the price, and the targets were Ibrahimovic. After all, this player performed very well in the League Cup final and this European Super Cup match, which is certain to attract attention.
With its close relationship with Ajax, Barcelona hopes to get this Swedish center to further strengthen the team's not-enriched attacking forward line this season. In addition, Ibrahimovic's delicate skills and strong body have natural lethality to the defenders of La Liga.
Arsenal has been pursuing Ibrahimovic for a long time, and Wenger even called Ye Qiu in person, hoping to get the Swedish, but Ye Qiu refused the price of the two giant teams. He was unwilling to listen to the other party's offer, and directly refused.
He was very clear that Ibrahimovic had a very tactical value to Ajax. With him in front, Ajax's overall offense could become more three-dimensional and lethal. If he had lost him, it would not be easy to find another Ibrahimovic.

…………
On August 26, Dekuyip Stadium, Rotterdam, Netherlands.
When Hetinga, who replaced Makcon, started on the court, was ordered to be red cards by the referee for an elbow-like action in the 38th minute of the first half, everyone almost collapsed. Even the live commentator felt that the referee's penalty was a bit too heavy after watching the slow motion.
Because it looked more like a subconscious arm swing rather than an elbow strike, and Ye Qiu never liked his players to take such a very lethal defensive action, but the referee was obviously more convinced of what he saw. When facing questions from Ajax players such as Van der Sar, he still insisted on his own punishment.
At this moment, everyone felt that this game would be a lot of danger for Ajax.
Fighting Bayern is a hard battle. Everyone knows that Ajax has just fought with Bayern Munich. After two days, he returned to the Netherlands and met his arch-rival Feyenoord, who is fighting for the championship. He played away again. Ajax is at a disadvantage.
In fact, Ajax's start in this game was a bad start and his first half was dull. Otherwise, Heatinga would not have had this embarrassing foul, and he was also regarded as a red card sent off.
With one person missing, Ye Qiu had no choice but to choose to shrink his defense. After all, the disadvantage of one person missing is huge.
But Ye Qiu has never been a person who likes to be controlled by others, so at the beginning of the second half, Ye Qiu directly arranged for the players to press forward and launched a powerful kick-off against Feyenoord.
After the start of the second half, Ajax's attack completely suppressed Feyenoord, and in the 54th and 62nd minutes, Hunteral, who started Ibrahimovic and right winger Van der Fate, scored two goals in a row for Ajax, completely defeating Feyenoord without any resistance.
But after a long attack, Ye Qiu had to choose to compromise. After scoring two goals, Feyenoord began to improve, and Ye Qiu also began to make substitutions, replaced De Jong, and asked him to play right back. At the same time, Sneider was replaced, further strengthening the team's defense, and the overall defense line began to shrink.
Van Marvik regrets his conservative start in the second half. If he takes a little more riskyness and dares to call his players to play during the break, Ajax, who is one less person in this game, will definitely die miserably, but he just doesn't dare, because he feels that after he has already gained the advantage of one person, Feyenoord should play more patiently, rather than taking risks.
In his opinion, Ye Qiu dared to attack with one less player in the second half, which was definitely to hang his head on the belt and fight to the death. But he had no way to do this kind of desperate efforts. He could only let the players rush out when he was 2 goals behind, and it would be best to kill Ajax directly.
Ye Qiu's team defended his team and his defense line was very solid. Although he was one less person than Feyenoord, he did a good job of protecting his own 30-meter area. On the other hand, Feyenoord's offense was difficult to break into the 30-meter area of Ajax. The thunder was loud and the raindrops were small, making it difficult to create a threat.
But at the last moment of the game, Thomason's goal made the face for Feyenoord, who played at home, but the score of 1:2 could not help but wipe out the shame that Feyenoord still lost after having one more person than his opponent for a long time.
At the same time, in another highly-watched game in the third round of the league, Eindhoven actually encountered a tenacious sniper from Adrians' team away. The latter first scored in the 27th minute, and then another round of attack after the second half, scoring two goals in a row, rewriting the score to 3:0.
Although Kezhmann quickly scored a goal for Eindhoven, Eindhoven was no longer able to regain the situation and finally had to accept this 1:3 away loss.
The league has only played in just three rounds. Ajax won all three games and scored 9 points. Eindhoven and Feyenoord both won 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss and 4 points. This has expanded Ajax's lead to 5 points at once. However, Twente, led by Fred Lütten, had a good start this season, with two wins and one draw. They were only 2 points behind Ajax and temporarily ranked second in the Eredivisie standings.
