Chapter 150 The Triple Crown?
The Young Guards ended the Bayern dynasty!
The German kicker left an impressive blood-red font on the title of the next day, somewhat shocking.
"Bayern Munich in the first half did not pose too much threat to Ajax in tactical terms. The Dutch Youth Army skillfully used the high-level defense and oppression after the opening to dominate the rhythm of the game. They used their young, fast and impactful football style to completely drag the old Bayern Munich into hell."
"Efenberg couldn't keep up with Ajax's pace in the whole first half. Not only that, Ajax's two goals were impressive, especially the two tall players in this team, center Ibrahimovic from Sweden, and high school defender Lucio from Brazil, were all eye-catching."
"This is a very weird team. We can't imagine that such a huge center forward has a delicate skill that is not inferior to a small player. We can't imagine that a central defender dares to directly press into the opponent's penalty area to score a header, but all of this appears on this Ajax."
"Ye Qiu, a young head coach from China, dominated the first half. His team had enough rest and obviously adjusted their physical fitness and condition better. Bayern Munich's poor defense gave Ajax more opportunities."
"Heathfield is a great head coach. The successive substitutions at halftime have changed the situation of the game. Salihamidic once again plays the role of Bayern Munich's offensive thruster. His appearance gave Bayern's offensive wings, and Pizarro's appearance has polished Bayern Munich's offensive spear."
"It's hard for us to guess what kind of ideas and strategies Ye Qiu and Heathfield were like before the game, but we can finally come to the conclusion that Ye Qiu won and Heathfield lost!"
"The winning trophy is to let Ye Qiu and his Ajax make fans around the world re-know them, and the price of Heathfield's loss is the end of the Bayern dynasty and his own precarious coach position."
Heathfield's position as coach at Bayern Munich this season is not solid, and Beckenbauer has objections to some of the iron-blooded coach's approach, especially in signings, which is no longer a secret.
The biggest contradiction is that on the issue of Sforza, this former favorite player Heathfield advocated to introduce, after coming to Bayern Munich from Kesslautten, he was always excluded from the main lineup by Heathfield. This has become a contradiction between Heathfield and the management.
There is also the issue of strengthening the defense line. Heathfield wanted to introduce midfield players during the winter break, but Bayern Munich felt that the defense line should be strengthened, and one of the controversies was Lucio.
This Brazilian central defender performed well, which was appreciated by management such as Beckenbauer, but Heathfield believed that the Brazilian central defender's attack was too strong. Once he joined Bayern, it would only bring greater risks to Bayern's already weak defense.
The previous inquiry of Ye Qiu at the FIFA award ceremony was nothing more than a compromise made by Heathfield to the management, but after Ajax showed an unyielding attitude, Bayern Munich gave up.
But in this game, Lucio's outstanding offensive ability and steady defense are believed to allow Bayern and Heathfield to re-recognize the strength of this Brazilian central defender.
At least the picture newspaper used [Ajax's Mattus] in its own section to describe Lucio's outstanding performance in this game. They believed that in this high-level competition, the two giants determined the trend of the game, namely Lucio of Ajax and Ibrahimovic.
But the photo newspaper also pointed out at the end of the report, "After Bayern Munich launched a fierce attack in the second half, Ajax was obviously unable to do anything physically, especially as time goes by, this sign becomes more and more obvious, which leads to Bayern being able to put a big push on the attack!"
"In the 67th minute of the second half, Robben's sharp counterattack caused Kahn to attack, and almost broke through Bayern Munich's offense here. It looked more like an accident, and it was worth Ye Qiu's deep thought, that is, his team obviously has some problems."
"Young players always lack experience and always want to use up all their strength in the shortest time. Ajax's impactful style of playing is very threatening, but it cannot last."
"But we cannot deny that Ye Qiu and Ajax have become the biggest highlights in the European arena this season. This Eredivisie team that won the League Cup last year has become a breeze in the Champions League this season, allowing us to see the revival and re-emerge of passionate Dutch football."
"But, the advantages and disadvantages of this team are also obvious. The beginning and the end are Ajax's old problems. We have absolutely reason to believe that if Ye Qiu can solve this problem well, I believe Ajax will be more competitive in the European arena."
The remarks of the photo newspaper were polite words, and the implication was that if you could not change this problem, Ajax's Champions League was not a good idea.
Compared with the comments of the German media, the Dutch media praised Ajax's performance.
The Amsterdam Evening Post uses [Dignity] as its front page headline.
In this comment, they highly appreciated Ye Qiu's great progress in coaching Ajax in the past two years.
"Since the peak of the Van Gaal period, Ajax has become the fastest-falling Champions League champion. The impact of the Boseman Act has made Ajax a completely trained player factory for other giant teams. We have watched our players leave DeTok Moster again and again. We have witnessed the players we trained again and again, but we have worn other team jerseys to eliminate our beloved team from the European arena."
"The past few years have been full of darkness and fear for Ajax, but after Ye Qiu took over Ajax, he brought us light and courage. He ignited the extinguished and still war in the hearts of all Ajax people, and he also rekindled our passion."
"We have had enough humiliation in the European arena. Now, we are going to regain our dignity in the Champions League, use our feet and our performance to win back the dignity that belongs to us Ajax!"
Shuld Moso of the Joint Daily is already Ye Qiu's old friend. He wrote a comment himself, believing that Van Prague made a very wise decision that summer two years ago.
"Now, no one will doubt Ye Qiu's coaching ability. He has proved his strength and level again and again with his performance on the football field. He deserves the trust and support given to him by the club, and he deserves the respect given to him by the players and the respect given to the fans. He has won the recognition and appreciation of the city of Amsterdam."
"We should be proud that Ye Qiu and his team can qualify as the first place in the group, but we should not be blindly arrogant because of this. We should see that in this game against Bayern Munich, we almost equalized the score by our opponents, and even suffered a tragic reversal."
"I think the victory of this game should be more of Ye Qiu's adventure-oriented victory. He bet on Heathfield, but such a victory itself is not very convincing, because it has a certain component of luck."
"We need to recognize the current situation of the team. Ajax is not able to compete with top European teams like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Manchester United in terms of strength. Not only that, the team's shortcomings of starting and falling sharply since the group stage have never been well solved."
"There are shortcomings and shortcomings, which is a good thing, which means that there is still a lot of room for improvement in this Ajax team."
"I still remember that in an interview with Ye Qiu not long ago, he said to me that the best Ajax is far from appearing, and he himself doesn't know what the best Ajax will look like and when it will appear."
"I am also an explorer. I am feeling the stones across the river, so I will try various directions and try various methods. They may fail and may have to pay a heavy price. But I believe that only in this way can we find ways to make ourselves and the team stronger, and we can usher in the strongest Ajax!"
"This is Ye Qiu's sincere words. I am very happy to see that this old friend always maintains a calm and rational attitude. We also wish him and his Ajax to continue to bring us better football!"
Schulder Moso's comments have been reproduced in many newspapers, but many media have also expressed a concern that as Ajax performs more and more well in the Champions League, whether the team still has enough strength to retain this group of stars in the team is a question.
Van Prag and Ye Qiu both showed absolute confidence in this on different occasions, saying that Ajax will do his best to ensure the stability of the team's lineup and ensure the team's combat effectiveness.

…………
In the 28th round of the Eredivisie, Ajax challenged Vitus away.
Ronald Koeman's team is expected to be sure that Ajax had just passed a tough battle with Bayern Munich in the Champions League, so they waited for the hard work at the Gerredom Stadium, clearly facing the fatigued army Ajax.
In this bayonet battle, Ajax and Waiters played very fiercely. Although Ajax's semi-substitute lineup performed very hard in this game, players including Van der Mede and Hleb showed strong victory**, Ajax finally lost 1:3 away.
This is also the worst game Ajax has lost so far this season, and he has lost 3 goals. This is a very rare defeat for Ye Qiu, who has always focused on offense and defense balance.
The central defender combination of Kloro Toure and Lucio performed poorly in the game and made many mistakes. Ajax's only highlight was the offensive cooperation between Heleb and Van der Mede, but he was unable to save the team.
Ajax lost a disastrous away game, while Eindhoven defeated Helenfin 4-1 at home, successfully shortening his points disadvantage to 2 points. Moreover, Eindhoven was eliminated in the League Cup. So far, only the Eredivisie and the Dutch Cup can be competed, so Gretz almost broke his head and devoted all his energy to the league.
"I said that Ajax will definitely make mistakes. Our opportunity has come. Now is the time for us to sprint against the championship!" Gretz took the initiative to ignite the war with Ajax, declaring that the battle for the Eredivisie championship was completely fierce. Many Dutch media have also joined the war, accusing Ye Qiu and Ajax of poor performance.
Ye Qiu did not blame the players for losing, but took the initiative to take it, but he refused to admit that he had made a mistake.
"In the last game we qualified as the first in the group since the Champions League, you praised us very much, but in just a few days later, you criticized us for a defeat. I think this is very unfair to me and my team, because we are not the toys you can knead at will."
"Whoever wants to comment on the gains and losses of a team and a head coach should be a season after, at least we still have a 2-point lead in the Eredivisie now. Have we lost? Did Eindhoven reverse? Why is it like the end of the world if you lose a game?"
Faced with Ye Qiu's questioning, many reporters were speechless because when they wrote the title, they wanted to catch the readers' attention as soon as possible, so they could write whatever they were thrilled, without considering the consequences at all.
"But, Mr. Ye Qiu, Ajax suffered such a crushing defeat at this time. Don't you admit that the team's combat effectiveness was indeed weakened due to the two-line battle? Can you guarantee that Ajax will not make the same mistake again and lead to losing points?"
A middle-aged reporter stood up and asked a lot of questions in one breath, "Please remember, Mr. Ye Qiu, your team is only 2 points ahead of Eindhoven, not 20 points!" After that, he sat down.
Ye Qiu stared at the reporter, and he felt that he was provoked. "Mr. reporter, I don't think I need your reminder, because I know the situation more clearly than you. For me, 2 points ahead of Eindhoven is enough. I will decide the Eredivisie championship this season!"
Seeing the reporter standing up again, he wanted to say that Ye Qiu didn't give him the chance to continue talking, and said to the microphone: "You don't need to ask me why, just because I have this confidence, I believe that my players are also confident. Please tell Gretz, just say that I said it."
"Go to compete for your runner-up!"
After saying that, Ye Qiu stood up, obviously he wanted to end the press conference early.
The reporter from Eindhoven was behind him and roaring angrily at his back, "It's so arrogant. Look at it. This incompetent Chinese is so arrogant and arrogant. Who do he think he is?"
Many reporters close to Eindhoven at the scene accused Ye Qiu and said that they must publish these words in the newspapers and make all fans see the arrogant face clearly. They hope that Eindhoven will reverse Ajax and will slap the Chinese in the face hard.
But after a week of rest, Ajax regrouped and defeated Groningen 4-0 at Arena Stadium, while Eindhoven played very embarrassedly away. In the end, with Hesselink's goal, he almost defeated Denbos, a team that was relegated early.
At this time, the draw for the Champions League quarterfinals knockout round was also successfully released in Nyon.
The eight teams entering the Champions League are Ajax, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Leverkusen, and Manchester United, Roma, Pannashinaks and La Coruna, who are second in the group. According to the draw rules, the same group avoids, and the first group faces the second in the group.
This time Ajax drew a good draw, and a great draw, because Ye Qiu's team drew Pannashinaks from Greece, and Real Madrid, also in the upper half, drew Roma. The winners of these two matches will encounter in the semi-finals.
Liverpool and Leverkusen, La Coruna and Manchester United were both separated into the second half.
Ye Qiu was very satisfied with the lottery results. Even when he met Real Madrid in the semi-finals, he felt that it was impeccable.
In the middle of the week, Ajax went to Greece to challenge Pannashinaks away. Ye Qiu's team even attacked the flag of football even on the away game. With the goals of Van der Fate and Ibrahimovic in the first half, he defeated Pannashinaks 2-0 away and successfully stepped on his half foot into the semi-finals.
On the weekend, Ajax challenged Eindhoven away, but the two sides tied a 1:1 draw at Philips Stadium.
Gretz's slogan to reverse Ajax at Philips Stadium before the game was completely shattered. The two teams still firmly maintained a 2-point gap. The media close to Eindhoven believed that Eindhoven still had a chance and believed that he would definitely create miracles.
Three days later, Ye Qiu faced Pannashinaks at Arena Stadium with a half-main and half-substitute, and finally defeated the Greek opponent 3:1 and successfully entered the semi-finals with a total score of 5:1.
In another game, Real Madrid finally defeated Capello's Roma with a total score of 3:1 in two rounds and successfully advanced to the semi-finals. They will compete with Ajax for one of the places in the finals.
Back in the Eredivisie, Ajax immediately showed strong attack power, defeating Rotterdam Sparta 4-0 away, and stomping the Rotterdam team directly into the relegation zone.
Three days later, the Dutch Cup semi-finals were ushered in, with Ajax defeating Eindhoven 3-0 at his home court.
Gretz's team had just had a bloody battle with Feyenoord, who had lost hope of winning the championship, at Philips Stadium. The players were physically and mentally exhausted. Although Gretz also attached great importance to the Dutch Cup, he could not withstand Ajax, who was like a wolf and tiger, and eventually reached the finals were Ajax and Udrecht.
This immediately made the whole of Amsterdam completely crazy, because Ajax advanced together on three lines this season, the Eredivisie took the initiative to win the championship, reached the finals of the Dutch Cup, and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. If all three fronts can persist until the end, Ye Qiu will lead the team to recreate the peak Ajax's triple-championship during Michels in 1972!
