Chapter 96 Double kill Eindhoven
Many fans don’t know that it is very simple to bring out a team. Just find a group of players who meet their tactical positioning, create a very targeted set of tactics, and then conduct detailed division of labor and cooperation for each player, so that they can continue to train and work together continuously. Well, sooner or later, they will have combat effectiveness.
But in fact, the problem is far more complicated than this.
What is fusion?
On the football field, integration is to integrate my strengths into the overall team and fill in the shortcomings of my teammates.
Is this easy?
For example, in Ajax's 433 tactics, Gilberto Silva is responsible for allocating the ball rights, especially the ball rights distribution of the two sides. Is there any difference between the teammates around him?
If he thinks that the team should launch an attack in the shortest time, then he should choose to move forward, look for Ibrahimovic and Sneijder, but not Yaya? Toure, the reason is very simple. The Ivorians are still unable to adapt to Ajax's pass and catch the ball. He always habitually stops the ball and passes it out, which is slow.
On the contrary, Sneider, this player may be relatively simple in his skills, but he can run, pass and respond. He has excellent awareness. And more importantly, his goal is very fast and his grasp of the passing timing is very accurate, which allows him to pass the ball in the shortest time as long as he sees a loophole.
Whether it is a counterattack or a positional war, his ability can be well reflected.
Yaya Toure has excellent physical fitness and excellent passing ability. He presses and pushes the ball in the frontcourt and then attacks. These are his strengths. He is a player with excellent offense and defense, but because he is slow in the ball and likes to dribble the ball, he is not as good as Keita in the main position competition, and Ye Qiu has been helping him get rid of this problem recently.
And one of the important reasons why Yaya Toure is inferior to Sneed is that he has a weak sense of support and is used to playing games and playing football with himself at the center. In other words, he is the kind of player who needs others to adapt to him.
There is a golden rule in the field of tactics.
"What makes a machine run smoothly is not the super performance of a certain component, but the precise coordination of all components!"
If this sentence is put into football, it becomes, and a team can run smoothly, it does not rely on the extraordinary performance of a certain player, but the precise cooperation of each player. Although the latter seems to even give people the illusion that the player's ability is very ordinary, the combination of the combat power is amazing.
Sneider is undoubtedly the kind of player who is put on the team and can do his best to help him and his teammates around him perform better. Moreover, he is not the type of player who dribbles. He is the kind of player who runs, catches, passes, and never drags on the slumber, so the ball stays at his feet for a short time, making it difficult for opponents to defend.
But Sneider also has his own weakness, which is physical confrontation, which will be exposed in the battle of tough positions and is easily stared at by others. Therefore, Ye Qiu always has to arrange a player to assist him, either Keita, or Yaya Toure.
But even so, it can only complement each other's characteristics.
If you really want to form a strong combat power on the court, you still need to adjust each other's rhythm.
Sneider's rhythm is to get the ball out quickly, Yaya? Toure's rhythm is to get the ball out slowly, Maicon dribbling forward is very strong, Robben likes to drive the ball to hit the opponent's defense line head-on... Everyone must understand the characteristics of teammates, kicking habits and kicking rhythm, and then they will make choices when passing the ball. Oh, under what circumstances should the ball be handed over to what kind of teammates, and when the ball reaches his feet, what will he do, and what the rhythm will be, and then I will take the initiative to accommodate you.
I accommodate you, you accommodate him, he accommodates me, and they accommodate each other's rhythm, respond to each other, and integrate into each other, so that the rhythm of the entire team can be coordinated. Otherwise, everyone will follow their own rhythm, so how can the game be played?
Only by being able to coordinate with each other, it will be simple to allocate the ball. I need to attack quickly and pass the ball to the feet of the fast-paced player. Everyone immediately transfers to accommodate the player, and the overall rhythm will naturally be fast.
One person can never lead the entire team, but it is easy to lead 10 people to lead 1 person.
Therefore, rhythm is never something that one person can control, it is the whole team. Those who think that losing a player will completely lose control of the rhythm are wrong. The reason for this is that they completely blur the concept of allocating the ball rights and controlling the rhythm.
One of the important reasons why defensive counterattacks are easier to control and coordinate is that this tactic controls rhythm more uniformly. I can adopt a slow-paced defensive state throughout the game. When I seize the opportunity, I suddenly hit a fast and scored a goal if I succeed. If I fail, I will return to the slow-paced.
This tactic is relatively single in rhythm changes, convenient for coordination, and easier to achieve quickly, but the problem is also very troublesome because it tests tactical execution. Once this tactic is adopted, the team's overall thinking reaction will be rigid. If you want to make changes and give up the defensive counterattack style, it will often be very difficult, unless the lineup is reorganized.
Ye Qiu played in the Dutch Cup last season and adopted the tactic of defensive counterattack. The team performed well overall, but this season he decided to give up this style of play and move closer to a more complex and difficult control style, so he introduced a large number of brand new players to form a new Ajax.
But the difficulty of the restructuring tactics is undoubtedly much beyond his imagination. Even if a season has passed, he still feels that the team has integrated a framework and prototype, and it will take a while before it can truly achieve success.
Looking at the history of football, who can quickly become a strong and complete tactical system in one year?
But because of the repeated process of constantly causing problems, solving problems, and resolving problems, Ye Qiu is constantly improving his tactical qualities and feeling that the team is constantly improving, which makes him full of confidence in the future.
As for the advantages and disadvantages of the control-type play, it may be fully reflected from the two games against Eindhoven.
…………
…………
If Ajax completely controlled his advantage in the previous Eredivisie game, then Ajax completely led Eindhoven's nose to the semi-finals of the Dutch Cup in the second game against Eindhoven.
Ye Qiu made certain adjustments to the starting lineup of this game. After all, he just played one game three days ago, and now he must make minor adjustments to ensure the players' physical fitness and the team's combat effectiveness.
Goalkeeper Grim, with the defense line Abidal, Lucio, Kolo Toure and Heatinga, the three midfielders are Yaya Toure, Gilberto Silva and Sneider, and the front tridents are Robben, Ibrahimovic and Van der Fate.
Putting aside the injury-ceased central defender Kifu, Ye Qiu almost took out the main lineup he arranged before the season, but this is not the strongest lineup for Ajax at present, because Yaya Toure's position originally belonged to Keita, while Van der Fate's position belonged to Van der Mede. These two players are in better shape than them, but this game is off.
It is still at a high position of 433, but when attacking, Yaya Toure and Sneider are under high positions.
Ibrahimovic alone could restrain the two central defenders, Hovran and Nikiforov, in the front, so that they did not dare to move forward easily. Robben and Van der Fate respectively suppressed the opponent's full-backs on the left and right sides respectively, which forced Eindhoven's 442 tactical formation, both central defenders, Van Bomel and Voger, to rely more on later protection of the defense line, but in this way, Gilberto Silva was completely liberated.
Gilberto Silva's offensive ability is indeed not strong, and he has a good ability to allocate ball rights and a view of the overall situation. Of course, Ye Qiu would not let him participate in the offense, but liberated Lucio and allowed the latter to participate more in the midfield and even the frontcourt offense.
This made Ajax's midfielder always have one more, or even two people, who have more advantages in controlling the ball, controlling the space, and controlling the rhythm of the game. Eindhoven was completely suppressed by Ajax and had no ability to resist at all.
Gretz's tactical approach of total control over Ye Qiu was helpless because he really couldn't make any move.
This is the disadvantage of mechanical division of labor.
After all, Eindhoven's tactical division of labor is too mechanical. The forward is the forward, the midfield is the midfield, and the defender is the defender. Offensive players do not participate in defense, and defensive players rarely participate in attack. In the face of Ajax's fusion style of running back and forth, the disadvantages of mechanical division of labor are completely exposed.
This reaction turned into the game field. More than 50,000 Ajax fans at Arena Stadium. From the beginning of the game, they saw Ajax boldly pressing and surrounding Eindhoven for a round of beating. Although they have not yet been able to break through the opponent's goal, their advantage is very obvious.
Especially Lucio, with the support of Gilberto Silva, he began to become more bold, and Ye Qiu also gave him more freedom to advance, allowing him to boldly press forward and participate in the attack.
The advantage of adopting a control-type play is that after Ajax controls his advantage, he can play more patiently. Anyway, the main battlefield is on Eindhoven's side, so they can patiently wait for their opponents to make mistakes.
When the game reached the 37th minute, Eindhoven finally made a mistake.
Eindhoven passed the ball to the frontcourt, and Kloe Toure stole the ball in advance to Gilberto Silva. The latter took the ball towards his own goal. Seeing Lucio start to penetrate forward, he immediately passed the ball to Lucio.
The Brazilian central defender saw the opportunity and moved forward quickly. The pass given by Gilberto Silva made him feel comfortable. The two of them worked together for so long and were very familiar with each other. When he was sprinting quickly, he followed Gilberto Silva's pass forward, and his speed did not drop due to the reception.
Lucio sprinted very quickly and passed most of Eindhoven's midfielder in an instant.
Van Bomel wanted to intercept the Brazilian closely, but Lucio was too fast, just like a heavy tank, and could not stop him, so he could only choose to chase him back and find an opportunity to attack. Fortunately, Vorgel also leaned over immediately.
Seeing that the two were about to form a double-team, Ibrahimovic took Hovran to retreat to respond.
Before the opponent's double-team was completed, Lucio passed the ball to Ibrahimovic, and he quickly rushed to Ibrahimovic.
The Swedes knew Lucio's speed, leaned on Hofland, stopped the ball and knocked back.
In a fast sprint, Lucio quickly kicked forward after receiving the ball, and sprinted towards the opponent's penalty area with a big stride, directly breaking through Eindhoven's entire defense line. Nikiforov was left behind by him and chased back desperately.
After passing the top of the arc, Lucio looked at the opponent's goalkeeper. As soon as he reached the penalty point, he did not hesitate at all. After a fake move, he tricked Watrus and shot hard with his left foot. The ball went along a straight line and drilled straight into the goal behind Watrus.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"
Accompanied by the live commentator's cheers, more than 50,000 Ajax fans rushed out of their seats, all of whom raised their arms and crazily celebrating the arrival of Ajax's goal.
Until now, Ajax has completely controlled the game and has an absolute advantage. In addition, Eindhoven's overall performance is sluggish and cannot pose a powerful threat to Ajax, which ultimately leads everyone to think that Ajax's goal is a matter of time.
Although I was mentally prepared, when the goal came, all Ajax fans were still very excited.
"A wonderful goal from Ajax's Brazilian central defender Lucio, he almost ran for more than 60 meters. A very, very fast central defender, like a heavy tank, crushed into Eindhoven's penalty area. No one can stop him. It's so terrible. He is simply a beast!"
After scoring the goal, Lucio rushed out of Eindhoven's penalty area and rushed to the corner flagpole below the rostrum, raising his arms and waving his arms constantly, his excitement was self-evident.
Many people say he is a colander, but many people say he is a super weapon for the team to break the deadlock. He made mistakes and conceded goals and lost points. However, he has also scored many goals to save the team. He is a combination of angels and devils!
"It's really scary. Lucio has scored 8 goals in various Ajax events this season. Oh my god, he is simply a defender with a knife, with a lot of attack power!"
The Ajax players rushed to the sidelines, surrounded Lucio, celebrating around him, and the Ajax fans in the stands were also very excited, but they never forgot that the game was not over.
"Ah~Jak~S! Kill them!"
"Kill Eindhoven, the Ajax warriors!"
"Let them see how great we Ajax are!"
"Don't let our opponents walk out of Arena Stadium alive!"
The Ajax fans in the stands were very excited. If the first thirty minutes of the game were more brewing, then now, it is finally time to explode completely. Lucio's goal completely ignited their emotions and made them all feel inexplicably excited!
On the contrary, Eindhoven's players lost the Eredivisie three days ago, and they were obviously immersed in that complete failure. Today, three days later, they still failed to get any advantage from Ajax.
"Do you want to win the championship? Eindhoven? Have you asked us?"
In the stands at Arena Stadium, Ajax fans pulled out such a banner early, demonstrating Ajax's pride and also hitting Eindhoven's morale. Even if you win the championship, so what? Have you won us?
The entire Arena Stadium has completely become a sea of celebration. All Ajax fans regard tonight as a festival to celebrate, declaring the return of Ajax's strong era!
In the Netherlands, for many years, no team has been able to completely suppress Eindhoven so much like in the past two games, making them completely lose even the last trace of dignity.
Only Ye Qiu and his Ajax did it!
…………
…………
The game was finally frozen at 2:0. In the second half, Van der Fate dribbled the ball and cut inside and passed directly behind him. Ibrahimovic inserted it and volleyed his right foot before Hofland, breaking Eindhoven's goal again.
This team, known as the quasi-Eleven champion, encountered two humiliations from Ajax in two games within three days. In this Arena Stadium, which they had previously humiliated their opponents, suffered an unprecedented defeat in recent years.
No one can understand what Gretz was thinking when he lost the game, and no one can guess whether he would be dismissed from get out of class because of this, but everyone clearly saw that as time goes by, Ye Qiu's Ajax team is increasingly showing strong competitiveness and attack power.
The fans' eyes were bright. In this game, in the stands at Arena Stadium, many fans raised their cards together and called on the board of directors to leave Ye Qiu's slogan.
"Ye, stay, we need you!"
"Don't have dirty capital, all we need is the leaves!"
Through live broadcasts, the whole Netherlands saw this scene, and anyone with a little knowledge of football knows that Ye Qiu has trained this young Ajax to a certain level, and the team will only become stronger and stronger in the future.
To put it in the live commentator, "Only fools can fire our head coach at this time!"
But there is a saying that is right. It is not difficult to wake up a fool, but it is impossible to wake up a person who pretends to be stupid!
Ye Qiu didn't think too much about it now, but at the post-match press conference, facing more than a dozen media outlets from the Netherlands, and facing Gretz, who was sitting next to him, he walked in and sat down, and the first sentence made everyone present laugh.
"I said, I am the one who laughs to the end!"
Chapter completed!
