The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 182 Hiddink's Rage
Many people's first impression of Hiddink is that he is tough.

But it is rare to see Hiddink openly soaring on the court.

Few people know that Hiddink once worked as a teacher for ten years in the school where his father was the principal, so that he later joked that in his eyes, football stars are just like elementary school students, and big-name football stars It's like those urchins with tough backgrounds, or even juvenile delinquents.

Ten years of teaching experience has taught Hiddink how to manage a team's locker room, and it has also given him a bit of his own stubbornness, as if he seldom goes public on the court. Image, he argues, with cameras all over the pitch, a public outburst will only be the subject of media hype.

But sometimes, the fire in my heart can't be suppressed.

It was as if this time, when he saw Ibrahimovic leaning against Faber with his body, Oye did not rush to Faber's side for a flanking attack as he had arranged before the game. In the defense, in the end, I watched the Swede use his body to suppress Faber, then successfully dribbled the ball and turned around, and volleyed vigorously with his right foot, piercing the goal of Waterus.

At this moment, Oye helplessly raised his hands in the penalty area and hugged the back of his head, looking very depressed. He seemed to be wondering why he was scored again?

I believe that most people who saw this scene would think Oye was innocent, but Hiddink didn't think so.

Hiddink, who was so angry that he had to find an outlet, rushed to the sidelines, yelled at Oye who was close at hand: "Andrei, what the hell are you doing? Don't you know Do you want to help? Or do you just want to stand on the sidelines and wait to see your teammates and watch the team jokes?"

Oye was taken aback by Guus Hiddink's sudden rage, and he stood in the penalty area. Only then did he recall one thing Hiddink repeatedly emphasized during the pre-match and halftime breaks. Let Ibrahimovic easily get one-on-one opportunities, especially in the middle of the penalty area.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a player with excellent physical fitness, his feet are very delicate, and his shooting skills have been greatly improved in recent years. This makes the Swedish center seem to have no major flaws, and no matter his body Quality, or his foot skills, both make him very advantageous in one-on-one.

Hiddink has a very high evaluation of this center forward. He believes that in a one-on-one situation, even central defenders like Nesta, Stam, and Ferdinand may not be able to resist Ibrahimovic. Those with weaker physical fitness and weaker consciousness must be prepared to be abused by Zlatan Ibrahimovic anytime, anywhere.

Eindhoven's defense has been a problem recently. Hovland's injury will make him miss the entire season, which has brought a lot of trouble to Eindhoven's defense. You know, Hovland has been very eye-catching recently , He has become the pinnacle of PSV's defense, and even Manchester United and many other giants have begun to pay attention to him, hoping to introduce this central defender who is known as the new Stam.

Hiddink is also considered outstanding. Faber has performed steadily under his hands. This veteran has excellent experience and awareness, but even so, Hiddink still feels that Faber met Ibrahimovic. Still have to be abused.

This is not a question of strength, but in the final analysis, when the defensive player is one-on-one with the offensive player, the offensive player takes the initiative, and the defensive player is too passive. If the strength gap is not too large, it is almost difficult to guarantee that they will not be abused. .

This is why everyone knows that offense can rely on individuals, but defense will always rely on system operations.

This can also lead to a digression, training defense may not be easier than training offense!
After Hofland was injured this season, Eindhoven's central defender was short of manpower. Hiddink finally chose to pull the right back Oye to play central defender, and Oye did perform well in a few games , so that everyone felt relieved, but once the critical game came, his problem was exposed.

After all, he has been playing right back for many years. When he is pulled into the middle, he will inevitably have some discomfort. The sense of position and the awareness of defense are Oye's shortcomings. It is certain that you will not be used to filling in gaps and filling places for others.

Eindhoven's sluggish performance in the Champions League this season is not completely unrelated to the problem of the defense line, so Hiddink has always been cautious, because he knows that the problem of the defense line will appear in the dialogue between the strong and the strong. They lost to Feyenoord. This time when they met Ajax, Hiddink can be said to be a thousand bells.

Unexpectedly, I still made a mistake in the end.

Sometimes, Hiddink didn't know whether it should be said that Ajax's offense was too strong, or PSV's defense was too bad in this game, or both.

Only 14 minutes into the game, Robben made a quick drive from the left. Zlatan Ibrahimovic made a diagonal pass in front of him. He sprinted into the penalty area and shot through Watrus with ease. goal.

But this was only the beginning, and Ajax's strong attack followed by a huge pressure on Eindhoven.

In the 27th minute, after van der Vaart dribbled the ball in from the right, he took the initiative to find Ibrahimovic for a two-on-one cooperation. With a low shot, he scored again, 2:0!

The attack was fierce, and Ajax also showed its flaws. At the end of the first half, PSV Eindhoven played a very high-quality counterattack. Van Bommel made a long pass, and Kežman used his speed to forcefully rush away. Lucio and Keivu's defense formed a single-handedly after getting the ball and broke through Van der Sar's goal, 1:2.

During the half-time break, Hiddink once again emphasized that it doesn't matter much to fall behind by one goal, because there is still a second half, and PSV still have a chance, but the premise is that all players must firmly follow the team's rules. tactics to proceed.

Among them, Hiddink talked about defense the most, because Eindhoven's strategy in this game is to defend and counterattack. If they can't defend, how to counterattack?

Therefore, for Oye, Hiddink has also warned many times, and several flaws were exposed in the first half, so he asked Oye to pay attention to keeping a distance from Faber, keep close contact, and not show flaws. Don't lose your place easily.

Unexpectedly, less than 10 minutes into the second half, Oye made a mistake.

If when Ibrahimovic and Faber are in a contest, Oye can help defend from the side, then after the Swede turns around, Oye can rush up to help defend immediately, that way , can the Swedes still score?
从1：2变成1：3，差距可不仅仅只是1个球，这对埃因霍温的士气是巨大的打击。

However, Hiddink only got angry when he couldn't hold back, and he calmed down quickly. After all, the game is not over yet, so he kept explaining to Oye on the sidelines, and at the same time asked the team to stand properly Retract some.

Ye Qiu sat in the coaching bench of the home team, watching Hiddink's rare gaffe, he couldn't help feeling amused, "I didn't expect him to be very angry when he got angry, and I usually don't notice it."

Bobby Harms laughed, "You're already in your decades, how can you still get angry like you young people?"

It's fine if you meet someone who is in good health, but if you meet someone who is not in good health and gets angry at every turn, wouldn't that be killing yourself?

"He has been away from the European football stage for several years, especially when he went to Asia in the past two years, and he has obviously been unable to keep up with the pace and rhythm of European football." Van Basten said with a smile on the sidelines.

This is true, even in the present age where information is very developed, leaving European football and the UEFA Champions League for a long time is indeed a disadvantage in grasping the development trend of football tactics.

Look at the fact that the English team was banned back then, and they haven't caught up with the mainland teams until now.

Since Guus Hiddink coached the Dutch national team, whether in Real Madrid or Real Betis, he has not been able to win the affirmation and recognition of professionals, nor has he achieved convincing results. Most people feel that Hiddink's football philosophy has not kept up with the development of tactics.

What is the hottest tactical change in Europe in the past two years?
High defense!

As the French football magazine commented, after Ajax won the UEFA Cup with high defense and successfully reached the semi-finals of the Champions League in the second year, everyone began to be interested in high defense. Following Ye Qiu's footsteps was Valencia's coach Benitez, and his team also adopted a high defense.

Although Benitez's Valencia played 4231, the positioning tactics adopted by the double midfielders still moved the defense forward.

Valencia won the La Liga title last season, and this season set off a trend in the Champions League. Behind all of this is high-post defense. Benitez's team is best at using high-post defense to overwhelm opponents. , So they scored the most goals and conceded the fewest goals, and they were the best team in the Champions League group stage.

In the evaluation of the French Football Magazine, Ajax's high-post defense is more inclined to attack, and the defense is very dependent on a single midfielder. Therefore, after Gilberto Silva left the team, although Ye Qiu introduced a good performance Mascherano, and promoted De Jong, but still can not play Gilberto? Silva's stability.

This is why Ajax's defense has always given the impression of instability so far this season.

The impact of the outstanding high-position defense is that other teams have followed suit to adjust and change, but Hiddink's team obviously did not have such changes, which made them lose in the Champions League. , and back to the Netherlands, it is okay to meet weak teams, but the results are also very bad when playing against strong teams.

So far, they have lost to Feyenoord at home, and now they face Ajax away, and they are also unable to fight back.

As for the other so-called strong teams in the Eredivisie, can they compare with the three giants?

In the eyes of many people, high post defense is something that Ye Qiu invented to solve Ajax's traditional 433-[-]-[-] tactics and the long distance between wingers and full-backs. It has become the main tactic of Ajax, and even the youth team is using this tactic.

The benefits are obvious, the offense is very sharp, especially the offense on the two sides, which fits Ajax's traditional characteristics of focusing on winger offense, and can also maximize the offensive power of 433, but the defense is where attention needs to be paid.

"Tell me, will he regret coming to Eindhoven now?" Roland asked with a smile on the side.

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

So far in the game, there is not much suspense for Ajax to win the opponent. The only choice is, can they still score?

In the 77th minute, it was Ibrahimovic again, from Faber's side again, and Oyer's cover was not timely. It was almost the same as the previous goal, except that the position of the goal was slightly higher. It's changed a little bit, and the way Ibrahimovic scores is a little more annoying.

He had already thrown off Faber and successfully passed the Eindhoven central defender. When he dribbled the ball into the penalty area, he met Oye who quickly came from the side to make up for it. He suddenly stopped suddenly, and his feet were skillful. With the ball under his feet, he flexibly wanted to pass the ball around Oye from the right, but when Oye reacted flexibly, he made another emergency stop, knocked the ball to the left, and then pulled up his left foot , a volley, the ball crashed into the net, 4:1!

The whole goal seems to be very long, but it actually happened in the blink of an eye. Oye was almost shaken by Ibrahimovic, and all this was because of the relationship between him and Faber just now. The distance between them is too long. If the distance is right, as soon as Ibrahimovic passes Faber, he will be able to get close to him for the first time, and the Swede will suffer a lot.

This time Hiddink didn't lose his temper like before, but walked back to the coach's bench helplessly.

After another victory, Ye Qiu also made substitutions and adjustments.

In the end, Ajax defeated PSV Eindhoven 4:1 at the Arena, successfully extending the lead to 4 points. As for Feyenoord, they lost 1:3 to Heerenveen in the away game. He was kicked out of the list of candidates for the championship by everyone.

Van Marwijk's team still likes to lose the chain at the critical moment so much, which is indeed very puzzling.

…………

…………

Defeating Eindhoven 4:1 at home, Ajax immediately became the favorite team for the Eredivisie championship.

You know, Ajax has defeated Eindhoven twice in a row this season. It was the Dutch Super Cup before. Ajax defeated Eindhoven 5:0 at the Arenal Stadium. This time it is a bit of progress , became 4:1.

After the game, the Dutch media almost overwhelmingly supported Ajax, thinking that as long as Ye Qiu's team continued to perform well in the first half of the season, the possibility of winning the league championship was very high. Hiddink's team must get rid of the embarrassment of being strong and losing.

This season, whether it is in the Champions League or in the Eredivisie, this team has no precedent to win against a strong team. This has also become a very embarrassing label for Hiddink. Who wants to make people point at the spine and laugh at a pseudo-strong team? ?

On the contrary, the Eindhoven Daily showed some signs of helping Eindhoven to explain. When they interviewed Eindhoven general manager Arnesen, the latter believed that the team's poor performance was due to the defense. Forlan's absence has brought great losses to Eindhoven, because the most important thing for the team is to strengthen the defense as soon as possible.

The Eindhoven Daily also believes that the defense is the crux of the team's repeated defeats.

But Hiddink does not admit this statement at all. He believes that the team has many problems, and the defense is not the most critical.

"I can understand the wishes and thoughts of many fans who are eager to strengthen the team's strength in the shortest possible time, but to improve the team's strength does not necessarily mean transferring and signing. It is the last resort. I think Oye He's done well at centre-back, he just needs more time."

A week later, PSV defeated Vitesse 1-0 at home with a difficult goal from Bouma.

Ajax was the last game before this winter break, beating SBV Elite 2:0 in an away game, and Feyenoord once again continued their embarrassing tradition of losing the chain, tying Breda 1:1 away.

In this way, after the 17th round, half of the Eredivisie League is over, Ajax leads the way and takes the lead, Eindhoven follows with a gap of 4 points, Feyenoord follows The gap between the two previous rivals has been widened to 11 points, and the league title has been clearly lost.

And No. 4 can better reflect the disparity between the strength and weakness of the Eredivisie. Nijmegen is 9 points behind Feyenoord and 20 points behind Ajax. This gap is so big that anyone can see it. Understand the overall trend of the current Eredivisie league.

As Schulde Mosso of the Kyodo Daily said in his column, today's Eredivisie is developing towards La Liga, where the two heroes competed for hegemony. The difference is that La Liga was Barcelona and Real Madrid. The two heroes compete for hegemony, and the current Eredivisie is the top three of Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord.

Schulder Mosso believes that when the football league becomes an oligarchy game, this may not be a good phenomenon, and it is worth all the Dutch football people to be vigilant, especially more teams and more coaches, they should take a good look at the situation , Think carefully, why is this happening?

"I personally think that the experience of Ajax's re-emergence is worth learning for all the middle and lower reaches of the Eredivisie, because they did not pay too much. What Ye Qiu pursues is to introduce potential rookies at a low price. , to be cultivated and refined to make it a talent signing strategy, which not only brought a lot of transfer income to Ajax, but also improved Ajax's overall competitiveness."

"All teams, everyone, should rethink, position themselves well, find ways to improve the competitiveness of our team, prevent the league from becoming an oligarchy game, and find that the Eredivisie is in European football and the mid-lower teams are in the league. Eredivisie, the respective ways of survival in these two different environments!"
