The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 18 It's a professional team!
The Going Eagles are a very strange team, at least in the Dutch second league this season.

The performance of this team has fluctuated greatly. In the previous game, he could fight to the death with Groningen, a strong team in the Dutch second league, but in the next game, he could lose to the bottom Volendam by a big score, scoring many goals, They also conceded a lot of goals, won less and lost more, and their winning percentage was low. As a result, the Forward Eagles ranked close to the bottom of the Dutch second league this season, and they were in danger of being relegated.

Before this game, Ye Qiu specially watched several videos of Going Forward Eagles. He found that this team was a typical top-heavy team with a good offensive ability but a poorly organized defense. This makes them able to play vigorously once they encounter a strong team that is unwilling to defend.

But the problem is that once they encounter those teams that are weaker and more able to let go of their bodies to play reverse, they will be deflated, which is why their performance fluctuates so much.

After seeing through this point, Ye Qiu adopted a defensive stance from the beginning of the third round of the Dutch Cup, allowing the Eagles to take the initiative to attack, while the second team of Ajax defended the defense line and plotted fight back.

It should be said that Ye Qiu's use of double midfielders to build an unbreakable firewall in front of the defense line is indeed very lethal to the current tactical trend with No. 10 as the core of the organization, especially when facing that kind of side For teams with poor offensive ability, the containment effect is even more obvious.

It's a pity that the Going Eagles are that type of team!
When they found that the ball passed into the front of the penalty area of ​​the Ajax second team time and time again, but after being intercepted and intercepted by the two midfielders headed by De Jong and Maduro again and again, they could not find an effective solution. A way to get the ball into the penalty area.

If the ball does not enter the penalty area, how to create a threat?
On the contrary, the second team of Ajax has given full play to the essence of defensive counterattack. As soon as the ball has the ball, it will hit behind and play out the wing, especially the speed advantage of Kurul's side. It is very threatening to play again and again. The counterattack made the Eagles' defense, which was not very solid, face crises time and time again.

Generally, this small team is limited by the team's size and financial pressure. The lineup and manpower are not very abundant. The tactical style is basically a one-shot.

In the 24th minute, after Heitinga stole the ball, he drove the ball forward with a big foot, and Huntelaar headed back to Sneijder, who made a long pass over the top and passed directly behind the Going Eagles. The line of defense fell to the right side of their penalty area.

Kurul is very fast and has excellent explosive power. Once he rushed up, he couldn't stop the ball and stopped the ball directly in front of the baseline.

Look up, look, and kick the cross.

At the end, Van der Vaart followed up with Krul as soon as he started it, and the speed was not slow. He deliberately waited until after Krul made a pass, and then he sneaked from behind to play a sneak attack, grabbing ahead of everyone, and smashed his head. , opened the scoring for Ajax.

Van der Vaart's current speed is still very fast. One of the important reasons why he transformed into a midfielder in his previous life was that he was affected by injuries, especially knee injuries, which caused his speed to drop and eventually he was no longer competent. The position of winger and forward had to be transformed into a midfielder.

However, Van der Vaart's sense of smell in the penalty area is still very good. Although he is not tall, his header ability is not weak.

1:0, the second team of Ajax has taken a temporary lead!

"Continue to adopt the starting tactics, just lead by 1 goal, don't be careless!" Ye Qiu left the coach's bench, walked to the sidelines and loudly reminded the players that they must know that this time they are facing a professional team in the Dutch second league.

After walking out of the coach's bench this time, Ye Qiu couldn't go back again, and he could even feel his heart beating constantly accelerating, accelerating, accelerating!
After all, it is a professional team, after all, it is the forward eagle. Once they make a desperate counterattack, the aura exuded by the professional players who have experienced many battles is enough to overwhelm the group of young people in the second team of Ajax. Not angry.

Not only that, their familiarity and understanding of the rules on the court, and their mastery of the referee's psychology, are even more incomparable to the group of young people like Ajax, and even Ye Qiu.

To put it simply, professional football matches are not only about superficial skills, but also hidden skills. There is also a very important layer of psychological warfare and physical confrontation. These are given to the players of the Ajax second team. Huge pressure was exerted, and even Ye Qiu couldn't stand it.

But Ye Qiu just doesn't believe in evil. Back then, Westerhoff wanted to exclude him as the supervisor of the youth training. If it were someone else, he would have thought that he would not stay here, but would keep him there. Packed up and left, but he just quit and challenged Westerhoff face to face, because in his opinion, even if he wanted to leave, he had to take the initiative.

Now, being pressured by the Going Eagles like this, he also feels uncomfortable. What's wrong with the professional team?Isn't Lao Tzu playing a professional team?
"What's going on? What are you afraid of? Suddenly you can't play football anymore?"

"They are fierce, we can be more fierce than them, they are ruthless, we are more ruthless than them!"

"Niggle, haven't you always been fierce? Suddenly you've become soft?"

"And you, Eric, have you ever seen more rough moves when playing wild ball? Are you scared?"

"They want to risk their lives, so we will accompany them to risk their lives. Barefoot people are not afraid of people wearing shoes, so who is afraid of whom?"

"Whoever is afraid, get out of here!"

Ye Qiu's shouts made the head coach of the Going Eagles stare straight at the side.

Many of these things are tacitly understood by everyone, but the problem is not to say it.

When he arranged his tactics before the game, he also asked the players to deliberately engage in some physical confrontation. It was clear that he was bullying this group of recruits, and he also used heavy feet a few times to scare them and calm down their momentum. But the problem is, what happened? In the locker room, these words cannot be said.

Now Ye Qiu, a recruit, has said it all in one breath, and wants to fight with them, what's the matter?

Not to mention, Ajax players are disciplined, but that doesn't mean they have no temper.

No matter what field you are an athlete in, it is impossible to gain a foothold without temper and character, and the recruits of the Ajax second team are also young and vigorous. It's all grievances and hatred. Now that the head coach has let go, are you still afraid of him being a bird?
The first one to get angry was the big black Abidal. He was full of anger in his heart and his movements were dirty. When he was defending the right winger of the Eagles, he hooked him from behind and directly connected him. The dribble was hooked and fell out.

Undoubtedly, the referee's whistle blew immediately, and he directly gave a yellow card and a set kick in the frontcourt.

"Yes, that's the way to do it, who is afraid of whom?" Ye Qiu gave applause and encouragement.

As soon as he shouted, the referee came over immediately and reminded him to pay attention that this was a Dutch cup match, not a farce of street fights.

"Of course I know, but shouldn't you also consider your own law enforcement standards?" Ye Qiu asked with a glare.

The referee's law enforcement in this game was indeed soft, which led to the Going Eagles being able to use their body and small movements to violate the group of young players of the Ajax second team. Now Ye Qiu just took the opportunity to protest .

"I know how to judge the scale, but please respect it, this is an official match of the Dutch Cup!"

Ye Qiu spread his hands, he had no objection.

Sure enough, after a protest, the referee's law enforcement standards began to be stricter. After all, he didn't want to let the situation develop like this. If both sides fought, it would be difficult.

After Abidal was booked, a Going Eagles defender was also booked for petty maneuvering and a midfielder was also cautioned for physically knocking Ajax van der Vaart down. However, De Jong also got a yellow card, which means that both sides played [-] boards each.

But after this incident, the second Ajax team was full of anger, and the players behaved even more desperately, wanting to vent all the anger they had just received on their opponents.

But this time Ye Qiu also adjusted his tactics, and started to advocate passing the ball through the midfield as soon as possible, advancing to the frontcourt, and handing it over to Van der Vaart, Sneijder and others to organize, create threats in the frontcourt, and avoid the entanglement of the midfield .

After speeding up, Ajax's rhythm immediately accelerated, especially in the advancement of the ball speed. Once the ball was received, it immediately crossed the midfield to find attackers in the frontcourt, and Sneijder also stepped in to participate in the first time. attack.

Now Sneijder is a traditional Dutch midfielder. He has shown some offensive ability, but his defensive ability is not weak, he has high tactical execution ability, and he is also very diligent in the game. Ye Qiu also began to remind the frontcourt players, Once the ball is lost, the first time to fight back on the spot, in order to delay the opponent's counterattack speed.

After this series of adjustments by Ajax, the head coach of the Going Eagles was depressed to find that his team was very passive, giving up the initiative and advantages step by step.

In the 42nd minute, van der Vaart was fouled by the opponent after taking the ball from the left and won a free kick in the frontcourt.

The second team of Ajax quickly sent a free kick, Sneijder picked a pass, Van der Vaart used his speed to throw off the opponent's right back, and after getting the ball on the left side of the penalty area, facing the blocking central defender, he made a false move. Open the opponent's central defender and pass the ball into the penalty area.

At this moment, Huntelaar suddenly accelerated and passed through the opponent's defense line, before the opponent's central defender and the attacking goalkeeper, he stabbed the ball in the simplest but most effective way. Goal for the Going Eagles.

This time, all the players of the Ajax second team in the audience are boiling!

I saw Van der Vaart, Sneijder, Huntelaar, De Jong, Maduro, Krul, Abidal and others all crazily rushing into the restricted area of ​​​​the Eagles of Advance. Eagles celebrated wantonly in the restricted area, it was like showing off their power at the door of the opponent's house.

When Huntelaar scored a goal, Ye Qiu clenched his fists in celebration to the head coach of the Going Eagles. Although there was no further provocation, the intention was already very obvious, as if to say, We scored again, you bite me?
…………

…………

After conceding two goals in a row in the first half, Ye Qiu and the players had figured out how much the Going Eagles were doing.

As long as the middle of the advancing eagle is restrained, the eagle can only fall to death and cannot fly!
Tactically suppressed, and in terms of momentum, the Ajax second team, which entered the second half with a two-goal lead, firmly suppressed the Eagles. Especially after the halftime break, Ye Qiu began to consciously strengthen the midfield. The counter-grabbing strength brought a lot of trouble to the Eagles' backcourt.

However, young people are still young people.

Abidal, who was sent off with a red card in the last Youth League match, was irritated by a few humiliating words from the opponent after making physical contact with the opponent in the second half, pushed the opponent, and finally attracted the referee A yellow card each.

But the problem is that Abidal already had a yellow card in the first half, but two yellow cards turned into one red, and he was sent off again.

After being sent off for two consecutive games, Abidal walked out of the field with his head down, without saying hello to the head coach, and walked directly to the locker room behind the stands. Anyone could see that he was full of emotions. Unconvinced, very depressed.

For those who have played wild football for more than ten years, the professional league may not necessarily bring them the joy of playing football.

With another one missing, Ye Qiu immediately adjusted the team's tactics, replacing Huntelaar and replacing him with a defender to further strengthen the team's defense. To fight back, this temporarily stabilized the situation.

"He's still not used to the professional league!" Roland shook his head and sighed.

This is like a child who has been playing unscrupulously since he was a child. Suddenly he is asked to go to school, locked in the school and classrooms, so that he cannot play and do things as he wants. He will definitely resist and will not adapt. .

In the past, when he was playing in the amateur league, there were not so many scruples, no such strict referees, and no so many rules and regulations. At that time, what Abidal felt was freedom, unbridled freedom.

And if all of this is suddenly imposed on him, it will definitely be uncomfortable.

"But if he can't even adapt to the rules of the current second team, how can he adapt to a higher-level professional league?"

Rules are independent of people's will, and will not change because of a certain person, so people can only adapt to the rules, but cannot change the rules. This is a cruel society!

"Don't worry, I believe he can do it!" Ye Qiu was quite confident in him.

Abidal in his previous life also experienced this kind of encounter. After he transferred from Ducheret to Monaco, he also encountered a setback and neglect. This caused his strength to not be fully tapped in Monaco until he later joined. Lille really showed his strength.

Abidal is now 20 years old, and he already has the strength. The key is whether he can adapt to the rules of the professional league, find his own position, and display his strength.

Ye Qiu's confidence in him is also very simple. Abidal in his previous life can adapt well to the professional league, which proves that he has such ability. He believes that the same is true for Abidal now. The only thing he needs is to give him trust and time.

Abidal's red card reversed the situation on the field. The second team of Ajax was at a numerical disadvantage. In the end, the Going Eagles seized a chance and scored a goal to rewrite the score to 1:2.

After pulling back a goal, the Going Eagles once again saw the hope of tying the score, and launched a fierce attack on the goal of the Ajax second team, because according to the rules, this is a decisive game, and they can only tie the score Or it is a reversal to be able to continue in the Dutch Cup, otherwise, it will end up with the ugly name of being eliminated by the Ajax second team.

The opponent was desperately attacking, and Ye Qiu's team was desperately defending. The situation on the court could be described as a turning point.

But in the end, the second team of Ajax tenaciously defended the last line of defense and kept the score of 2:1 until the end of the game.

At the moment when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, almost all the players of the second team of Ajax collapsed on the court, and Ye Qiu also almost collapsed on the coach's bench, because they tried their best. with all my might.

The victorious fruits tasted after the trepidation and hard work really brought a very different kind of stimulation to each of them, a kind of stimulation that cannot be described in words, and an unprecedented satisfaction.

"We won!" Ye Qiu came in front of all the players, with a serious expression on his face, as if announcing an extremely grand event.

For them, being able to defeat the Going Eagles is definitely a big deal, because the opponent is a professional team.

"We defeated the Going Eagles and a professional team!" After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he suddenly laughed.

He was very, very fascinated by the excitement and satisfaction of surviving a catastrophe. This was a different excitement from the last match against Westerhoff, but he couldn't express it in words. To tell the difference, you can only experience it yourself.

But he believes that anyone will be fascinated and addicted to this feeling.

He also finally knew why Ferguson was still reluctant to retire at such an age, because he was still obsessed with this feeling, he was still obsessed with the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction after completely defeating an opponent.

And he believes, too, that his players feel the same way.

"Let's go, let's go back, wash it up, I'll treat you to dinner!" Ye Qiu shouted.

When the players heard it, they immediately cheered happily.

"Going out to eat, boss?"

The canteens in De Tokmost provide nutritious menus. Naturally, the food is not as delicious as the restaurants outside, and some of the food can even be said to be difficult to swallow. A very luxurious thing.

"Eat at the restaurant!" Ye Qiu laughed disgustingly.

The players immediately protested regardless of their fatigue, and all they did was give him a middle finger and despise him.

"A bunch of brats!" Ye Qiu scolded with a laugh.

At this time, he was still immersed in the joy of beating the professional team, and he didn't know that he would face a big trouble the next day.
