Ye Qiu always felt that as a central defender, Lucio still has deep tactical value to explore.

Generally speaking, any team's ball path advancement is either on the side or on the middle path. Because the defensive power is relatively weak and the space is relatively large, the ball path is generally an important means of ball path advancement.

For example, a series of excellent wing breakthrough players such as Figo, Ovemas, and Giggs are an important means of promoting the ball. Teams with this type of team often create more one-on-one opportunities for them on the wing when designing tactics, and thus maximize their tactical value.

So what about the middle lane? Why is no one taking the middle lane?

If you go on the sideline, when you arrive at the frontcourt, you still have to try every means to transfer the ball from the sideline to the middle. Why not directly push it from the middle? Isn’t this more convenient?

The middle lane is often the area where the opponent has the most dense defense, and the middle lane is often easily trapped in the encirclement. However, once a player can have the ability to forcibly break through dense areas in the middle lane, the tactical value of this player will be huge.

After AC Milan introduced Kaka, it entrusted important tasks to the Brazilian in the first season. After that, Ancelotti even let Kaka stay away from the team's offensive and defensive system. The purpose was to exert Kaka's ability to forcibly break through dense areas in the middle, because as long as Kaka breaks through, it can directly pose a threat.

Kaka's success is not so much a success of his personal ability, but rather a success of his tactical value!

The value of breakthrough in the middle lane is best reflected in Kaka, and more importantly, Kaka is a front midfielder.

For the front midfielder, as long as he can push the ball forward 10 meters, he will enter the most threatening area of ​​his attack.

Perhaps, from the perspective of tactical value, central defender Lucio, who also has the ability to advance in the middle, is not as good as Kaka, who plays as a front midfielder, but his value to any team is also huge in terms of enriching tactical means and enriching ball-way propulsion means.

However, because he is a central defender, his tactical value often represents the increase in the cost of defensive risk. Therefore, Ye Qiu has always been focusing on the defensive line. The cooperation and tacit understanding between the three Brazilian players, Gilberto Silva, Lucio and Macon, as well as Kloe Toure and Hetinga, are also the key considerations of Ye Qiu.

Tactics are always relative, and there is no absolute safe defense. Therefore, what Ye Qiu is considering is to maximize Lucio's advantage in dribbling the ball in the middle and minimize the defensive hidden dangers brought by Brazil's central defender's advancement. As long as he does this, he will dare to liberate Lucio in a large way.

The Brazilian central defender has never disappointed Ye Qiu. Although he is the one with the most mistakes on Ajax's defense line, many times, he is also the defender who brings the most surprises to the team, just like this time.

Liverpool has tried to hit Litmanin on the left side many times without effect. Macon reminded this former senior Ajax again and again, you are already 30 years old, have many injuries, and are in a state no longer the same as before. Liverpool's left off attack failed again and again, and the Reds' offensive direction was forced to shift to the right.

Gerald became Hollier's weapon for key attacks.

In the 59th minute, Gerald cooperated with McCallist on the right, avoided Abidal and passed the ball to the front of the penalty area, wanting to find Husky.

Husky firmly stuck his position. He was always competing with Lucio for his health. The Brazilian's physical fitness was so outstanding. Although he was not much inferior, it was really a headache, so he could only stay in advance again and again.

But this time, the Brazilian chose to go around.

OMG!

Husky looked at the Brazilian who was walking in front of him in amazement. It was difficult for him to understand how a guy with such a tall and strong figure would have such flexibility and explosive power, and he would just go around.

Because Gerald passed the ball to the top and defended the ball in front and intercepted the ball, Lucio did not hesitate at all. After all, it was a Brazilian player. His skills were not to be said. He raised his head and looked ahead, which was very wide. The group of players who were originally rushing forward were suddenly braked and ready to return to defense.

Is it too late?

There is a saying on the football field that you can't be wrong, that is, people will never be as fast as the ball!

Lucio pushed forward for more than ten meters, and he saw that Robben and Van der Mede were in place.

This is a major feature of Ajax's offense. The two wingers are always able to get close to the opponent's defense line in the shortest time when the offense and defense transitions. At this time, they need someone to pass the ball to them from behind.

Lucio swung his right foot and kicked a hard shot over the top.

The ball drew an arc and quickly ascended from Lucio. After reaching the top, it fell rapidly, but the landing point was on the left side outside the Liverpool penalty area. Ye Qiu called this offensive routine called diagonal attack.

Robben flashed like a gust of wind, the tall but bulky Babel flashed through the Liverpool defense line. It was also a very interesting part of Liverpool's defense line. It was a group of tall guys, with excellent frontal defense ability, but there were huge weaknesses behind turning and defending.

Therefore, Hollier's defense can only be retracted to avoid being beaten behind the scenes to the greatest extent.

But once you are beaten behind, I'm sorry, you'll almost hit each other.

The hearts of the Reds fans at the entire Anfield Stadium were beating to their voices, and Hollier pressed his chest hard. It was obvious that they all knew clearly that Ajax's most threatening counterattack was coming.

Robben was very fast and rushed forward like lightning. At the same time, he did not forget to look around. Van der Mede was deliberately slowing down, while Ibrahimovic was rushing forward with great force. The Swedes' explosive power was not very good, but the speed was not slow. In addition, his tall and strong body had a very terrifying impact.

Stop the ball, dunk, and stop quickly, Robben steadily stopped the ball at his feet on the left.

At this time, Henkoz had already chased into the penalty area. He went out to intercept Robben, and Hypia followed Ibrahimovic immediately. The Swedes leaned to the left, as if they were looking for the front point, forcing Hypia to follow to the left, giving up a large space on the right.

Robben stopped suddenly when facing Henkoz. This continuous speed change made Henkoz helpless. Facing Robben's cross that followed, he could only raise his foot symbolically, but there was no way.

The cross was very high and the landing point was at the back point.

When Hypia realized this, he wanted to go to the back point, and it was too late, so he could only remind his teammates loudly, "Back point!"

Zieg and Van der Mede were rushing at speed, but the latter obviously had to beat Zieg, and took the lead, stuck in Zieg with their body, facing Robben's cross, and both jumped high at the same time.

Everyone watched this scene, which happened in the blink of an eye, but it made everyone's heart beat faster.

Ye Qiu even clenched his fists on the sidelines. This is one of the offensive routines he focused on. He attacked diagonally and found the opponent's weakness after getting the ball. This is equivalent to handing over some of the organization's offensive power to two wingers. In this situation where he cannot make an effective counterattack, the effect is still very obvious.

But just as Ye Qiu was expecting Van der Mede to smash the close-kick into Liverpool's goal, he saw the ball flying high over the crossbar and flying out of the baseline, which seemed to be Zieg's clearance first.

Huh~~

All Liverpool fans at the game felt a little like they had survived the disaster. Ajax's quick counterattack was too fast and too sharp.

Whether it is Robben on the left or Van der Mead on the right, the speed is very fast. Robben's speed is even a bit like Michael Irving on Liverpool's inside, and Ibrahimovic is even more eye-catching. At least this Swedish tall man's performance is much better than Husky, and he has no idea how to get the ball or make the ball.

But just when Liverpool fans thought they had escaped, Van der Mead raised his hands high, slapped his right hand constantly with his left hand, ran towards the referee, pointing at Zieg, "Hey, Mr. Referee, he's handball, he's intentional handball!"

"Handball, I obviously saw that he was racquetting the ball with his hands!" Ibrahimovic was closest to him, and he didn't care whether he saw it clearly or not. He had to support his teammates at this time.

"I don't have a handball!" Zieg forced himself to defend himself as soon as possible!

"I can see clearly that he used his head to knock the ball out, not his hand!" Liverpool players also came to support their teammates.

This is a time when it happens frequently on the court. Both sides are competing for reason and putting pressure on the referee, but they both maintain a certain limit, at least not giving people the feeling of collide and threatening the referee.

The referee kept making a move with both hands to calm down and stop moving forward, then ran to the lineman and soon walked back to the court, first separated Ajax and Liverpool's players, then showed a yellow card to Liverpool's Zieg, and then turned into a red card, because he had already received a yellow card in the first half and finally pointed to the penalty spot.

"Deliberate handball, yellow card plus penalty!" The on-site commentator explained the referee's action.

The Liverpool players seemed a little dissatisfied with the referee's penalty, but the referee seemed very determined and kept shaking his head. The Reds fans at the scene didn't care about it, but in short, booed and cursed each other.

"From the slow motion, Zieg was indeed behind Van der Mead at that time, and his hand was also out of his physical range. It is hard to explain that he was unintentionally going down to catch the ball. It can only be said that Zieg was a loophole after he couldn't grab Van der Mead and wanted to find the referee's loophole."

Slow motion explains this foul from many different angles, and clearly shows that it is indeed a deliberate handball, but sometimes, the naked eye can never keep up with the changes in the game, so there are still many fans and players who feel that they are wronged.

On the contrary, Zieg, who received the Ruby Fix Card, did not bother him anymore, turned around and walked out of the court, did not say hello to head coach Hollier, and went straight into the player channel. He must have known his behavior.

"Ajax got a penalty in the 74th minute of the second half. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Ajax. You should seize this opportunity. Let's see who will take the penalty!"

Ajax's chief penalty kicker is Van der Fate, but the player is not on the court now. Originally, Sneider's penalty kick was also good when he was in the second team, but now he is the first team. The young Sneider lags behind Ibrahimovic in terms of penalty kicks.

The Swedes were Ye Qiu's penalty kicker, but the penalty score was not very ideal, which has something to do with his personality.

"Do you want to change one?" Bobby Hams came to Ye Qiu's side and asked.

This penalty kick is hard-earned. If you score, it is Ajax's most valuable away goal and may bring a victory, but if you don't score, it will hit the team's morale very hard.

Ibrahimovic's psychological quality is always more emotional. First, he is younger, and second, it is related to his personality, so he is prone to freak out at every critical moment. But Ye Qiu is more aware that if Ibrahimovic's penalty kick right is rejected at this time, it will inevitably have a huge impact on the Swedes.

With Ibrahimovic's sensitive and fragile mood, he probably would turn Ajax away from here.

"Let him punish him!" Ye Qiu gritted his teeth.

The ball didn't make it, and there was still a chance to make it again, but I finally managed to deal with Ibrahimovic and let this kid obediently and obey the advice. You can't lose the effort because of a penalty kick, right?

Seeing Ibrahimovic looking over inquiring, Ye Qiu nodded and made an effort to calm his emotions.

"Your greatest stupidity is that you lack patience, which makes your emotions control your thoughts!"

After Ibrahimovic nodded by Ye Qiu, he walked to the penalty spot with the ball in his arms. He couldn't help but think of Ye Qiu's reminder and the words he said when Ye Qiu scolded him on that day.

There are many things that he doesn't understand, and there are many things he just doesn't say, but this doesn't mean he is an idiot or a fool.

From childhood to adulthood, he has become accustomed to living a self-centered life, because only in this way can he protect himself, avoid being bullied, and reach today. All this is because of his personality.

In Ibrahimovic's life, two people have made him think of changing for them.

One is Haas Borg, but this person who was once regarded as a father, was always using it, deceiving and deceiving him, which made him feel an unprecedented betrayal. So, when he saw Haas Borg still wanted to show kindness to himself like in the past, he furiously swung his fist.

The other one is Ye Qiu.

Although he has been together for more than half a year, Ye Qiu gives him a feeling that this person knows and trusts himself very much, but he always keeps himself in the same way as himself, making him feel very comfortable and harmonious. This makes Ibrahimovic, who has not known how to trust others since childhood and understand each other, is the best way to get along with him.

But at the same time, Ye Qiu put forward very high demands on him. This not only did not make Ibrahimovic rebellious, but instead made Ibrahimovic feel that this was a product of trust. He also had ambitions and knew that gains were often proportional to his efforts, so he did not oppose Ye Qiu's high demands at all.

Sometimes, getting along with people does not necessarily mean getting close to each other!

Taking a deep breath, Ibrahimovic raised his head and looked at the night sky on Liverpool's Anfield Stadium. He closed his eyes. What he heard was the tsunami sounds from the fans floating in Anfield Stadium.

He felt as if he was in the vast ocean, but he was not afraid at all. His mood gradually calmed down. He looked at Liverpool goalkeeper Westved and Ibrahimovic breathed gently.

With a whistle, Ibrahimovic rushed forward quickly. His legs were long and his steps were very big. After approaching the ball, he made a powerful shot with his right foot.

The ball directly drilled into Westved's goal at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. The latter saved the wrong direction and chose Ibrahimovic on the left side because the Swedes had the right foot, but Ibrahimovic hit the right side this time, which was the most difficult half-high ball to save.

"The ball has entered!" The commentator on the scene shouted cleanly the moment the ball entered the goal.

"Ajax finally broke the deadlock on the court in the 75th minute of the second half, 1:0!"

"This is not an interesting game. Both sides of the game consider the most defense. Ajax, who plays away, adopts a defensive counterattack strategy, even once made people want to ask for a draw. Liverpool also puts defense first in the first half and most of the time, which is also a typical defensive idea for Hollier."

"It's a dull game, but we have reason to believe that with Ibrahimovic's goal, the situation in the game has been broken and both sides should be adjusted and changed."

Sure enough, after Ibrahimovic scored, Liverpool took the lead in making adjustments.

This time, Hollier learned from his mistakes and replaced Michael Irving and Fowler, trying to strengthen his ability to seize opportunities in the penalty area, and then used Smitchell to replace Litmanin on the left to strengthen the organizational and passing skills of the midfield.

This is obviously an arrangement against Ajax's defensive counterattack.

But as soon as Hollier adjusted, Ye Qiu also adjusted.

Van der Fate replaced Van der Mede, who was somewhat underdeveloped, and Yaya Toure replaced Sneijder. Although Ajax was a counter-substitution, he changed his previous contraction defense strategy and boldly adopted a high-level defensive tactic of pushing the offense, further strengthening the pressing and oppression in the midfield.

This made Hollier so angry that he vomited blood because he wanted Ajax to push out and play high-level defense. When he used Irving's speed counterattack advantage, Ye Qiu chose to defend to the end. However, when he replaced Irving and replaced it with Fowler, who had a keen sense of smell in front of the goal, Ye Qiu pushed out a lot.

Just imagine, how can Liverpool attack if a Fowler is far away from the penalty area and Husky who has no advantage in speed?
