The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 26 Ye Qiu's Counterattack

I forgot which sage said that if you want to defeat the people in the world, you must first defeat yourself!

Rehhagel said that the best defense is offense, and the best offense is defense.

From the very beginning, Ye Qiu was very certain that this was not a match to please the fans or the media, absolutely not!

It is unrealistic and self-defeating to ask the second Ajax team to play a desperate direct confrontation with Eindhoven when there is a huge gap in overall strength.

So from the very beginning, Ye Qiu put himself in the position of a weak person, put himself in a weak position, and defended himself first.

The three midfielders are all physically fit, both offensive and defensive players, especially De Jong and Maduro, who have good defensive abilities, and the four defenders are also of the type that is not slow and flexible, which makes Ye Qiu's defensive arrangement was not as far back as some people had guessed.

Bobby Harms is right. Under the threat of Vogel, Van Bommel and other players, if your defensive line shrinks too far, it is tantamount to giving the opponent a chance to take a long shot. This is good for Ajax. In other words, the threat is not much less than active pressure, and it can even be said to be higher.

The defense of Ajax's second team is mainly arranged in the midfield.

De Jong, Sneijder and Maduro, these three players, together with Van der Vaart and Kurul who retreated, formed the defensive zone of the midfield, while Huntelaar was in front. He kept interfering with Eindhoven's defense, especially the entanglement of the two central defenders, and spared no effort.

In the entire midfield area, using the advantages of local numbers to form enough defense and pressure to prevent the opponent from easily sending the ball into the 30-meter area of ​​the Ajax second team, then the luxurious attacking lineup at the front will also The greatest threat is lost.

A very important part of PSV's success this season lies in their flanks. The devil's wings formed by Korka and Romedal spread across the Dutch field, almost invincible. In order to suppress their flanks, Ye Qiu Many arrangements have also been made.

Van der Vaart and Krul interfered and suppressed PSV's two flanks, cutting off the connection between the opposing full-back and the two wingers, and once Korca and Romedal had the ball, there would always be two around. Players double-team and close-mark in time.

Because the three lines of Ajax are kept very tight, coupled with the fact that the players devote themselves to the game and implement the head coach's tactics, it can guarantee the team to do this to the greatest extent.

This is why, after the opening, when Romedal dribbled the ball many times to prepare to eat Abidal alone, De Jong always appeared near Abidal to support and support, and Romedal after several defeats , he began to give up the idea of ​​making a difference on the wing and began to move towards the center.

Gretz's intention is obvious, Korca retreated to respond, the purpose is to pull out the full-backs of the Ajax second team, so that Ruud van Nistelrooy, Nellis, and Romedal, who hit the target, have the opportunity to be near the penalty area Create a threat, and Korca's retreat can also avoid the opponent's close-to-man tactics, and advance the ball in the frontcourt in series.

Regarding the opponent's strategy, Ye Qiu also immediately adjusted it.

Once Korca retreated, van der Rohe followed immediately, Heitinga pulled to the right, Maduro retreated to the central defender to fill in for Heitinga, De Jong and Sneijder were the first Return to the middle to protect the defense line for a while.

It can be said that the tactical formation of the second team of Ajax seems to be blunt, but in fact it is very flexible. It can be resolved and intercepted in the first time according to the opponent's tactical arrangement.

However, it must also be said that the personal abilities of Eindhoven's players are too good. Several times, they rely on their personal abilities to create some offensive threats, but the integrity of the Ajax second team from front to back is very strong. , The players kept a very close distance from each other, especially after a month of practice, they cooperated with each other very well.

Before Ye Qiu watched the 0:4 loss of Ajax's first team to PSV Eindhoven, and now he has learned a lesson. He strictly ordered the players to reduce the one-on-one contest with the opponent as much as possible. Take advantage of your own tight formation and local numbers to defuse the opponent's attack and force them to return without success again and again.

Active midfield pressing, tight defensive layout, these are the most obvious personal abilities that give Eindhoven the advantage, as well as the team's offensive advancement speed, which cannot be displayed in the defense zone of the Ajax second team. Once the ball entered the defense zone of the Ajax second team, it seemed to be in a swamp.

Under such circumstances, Eindhoven's offense has never been able to truly suppress the second team of Ajax, and the second team of Ajax did not have the slightest thought of counterattacking. No one can do anything about who's stalemate.

…………

…………

Time passed by every minute and every second, but Gretz's brows became tighter and tighter, because he found that his team's offense had hit an iron plate, which was still an iron plate that was impenetrable by fire and water.

In the first 15 minutes, Eindhoven completely took the advantage and the initiative, and played many offenses, but they did not have the opportunity to form a real threat. Otherwise, with Van Nistelrooy and Nelis His strength has already scored a goal.

The reason for all this is the opponent's defense, and everyone seems to be tied together.

Eindhoven also tried to slow down the attack and lure the opponent out, but Ye Qiu rushed out immediately, yelling at the players to continue to maintain their formation, continue to maintain their defensive position, and absolutely not to step out.

At this moment, Gretz could see that this Chinese boy belonged to the tortoise, and he planned to hide in the tortoise shell and never come out!
"Damn it, if you don't come out, I'll smash your turtle shell!" Gretz also got angry.

It is not impossible to crack the defense of Ajax's second team. Boldly push forward and invest more troops in the offense, especially pushing Ruud van Nistelrooy and Nelis into the penalty area of ​​Ajax, so that they can play Create a threat in the penalty area.

But in this way, the risk is the opponent's counterattack!

However, as long as he thinks that the aloof Eindhoven is forced to be helpless by an Ajax second team, Gretz can't swallow this breath. He knows clearly that this game must be won. .

Thinking of this, he waved his hand at Faber and made a forward gesture.

He was also certain in his heart that the guy who was hiding in the turtle shell and dared not come out dared to fight back?

Needless to say, Ye Qiu really fought back!
Eindhoven's massive pressure brought a huge threat to the defense of Ajax's second team. There was a panic in front of the goal, especially when the two ace strikers Ruud van Nistelrooy and Nellis were in the penalty area. They began to do everything possible to pass the ball into the penalty area, causing chaos in the penalty area of ​​the Ajax second team from time to time.

Ye Qiu watched from the sidelines, gritting his teeth, feeling so nervous that he was dying, but he also saw that after Eindhoven pressed hard, there was a large gap behind the defense line, so he walked to the sidelines and moved towards Kifu made a hand gesture, and his mouth was saying, fight back!
In the 22nd minute, Eindhoven launched a crazy attack towards the penalty area of ​​the Ajax second team, almost wanting to swallow Ajax completely in one breath, but just When Vogel tried to pass the ball into the penalty area, Heitinga grabbed the ball and poked it away before Ruud van Nistelrooy.

De Jong and Van Bommel scrambled for the ball and poked it to Sneijder.

After Sneijder stopped the ball, he directly made a long pass over the top.

This kick is very powerful, but the placement is also very erratic. After all, it was kicked out in a hurry, and it was Kurul who was looking for it.

Krul is facing Heintzer, a 37-year-old Danish veteran. The two are fighting for speed on the sidewalk. Krul is sprinting forward, and Heintzer is retreating quickly. Compete with each other.

In the end, Kurul stopped the ball with his chest before the baseline, and without waiting for Heintzer to block, he kicked the ball back and passed it to the front of the penalty area.

As early as when Krul advanced, Huntelaar had already rushed past Nikiforov for the first time.

The Russian central defender is one of the best performing central defenders in Eindhoven this season. He is tall and has excellent frontal confrontation, but he also has the typical disadvantages of Russian central defenders, that is, turning around and slow speed. He was directly left behind by Huntelaar .

However, Huntelaar was at the front of the penalty area. He didn't kick the ball when he faced it. After running all the way into the penalty area, Van der Weyden next to him was desperately trying to stop him, but Van der Vaart was very fast.

At the critical moment, Waterous rushed forward suddenly, forcing Van der Vaart who had just got the ball to rush, but the more experienced Waterrus saved Van der Vaart's low shot to the bottom line!

"Wow~~~"

The home stand of the second team, which originally could only accommodate 1500 people, gathered more than 2 people at this moment. When they saw Van der Vaart's shot was saved by the opponent, they all sighed, and the momentum was quite spectacular. .

After all, this is Ajax's only shot so far in this game, and the only chance to break into the penalty area of ​​Eindhoven. They failed to score directly. This has to be said to have missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity Great opportunity.

Ye Qiu also patted his cheeks vigorously with both hands, as if he wanted to drive away all the troubles on his body.

He is also very clear in his heart, facing a strong team like Eindhoven, it is very, very rare to have such an opportunity in a game, and now he missed it in vain, and wants to wait for such an opportunity, It's hard as hell.

But in this case, he can't show disappointment, but should give encouragement and hope!
"Good job, Raphael!"

"And you guys are all great!"

"It's a pity, let's come again next time!"

"Focus on defense first, everyone, pay attention to defense and positioning!"

"Eric, Christian, stop fighting for corner kicks, we don't want corner kicks!"

Ye Qiu's yelling made Gretz almost collapse. Does this guy still have any ambition?

Just for fear of being counterattacked by Eindhoven during the corner kick, why did they even give up the corner kick?

However, the counterattack of the second Ajax team just now really made Gretz break out in a cold sweat, and was almost broken!
At the beginning of the game before, the reason why he didn't dare to press rashly was because he was worried about the counterattack of the Ajax second team. Now, the counterattack of the Ajax second team reminded Gretz once again that the opponent is not completely There is no way to fight back.

Between continuing to maintain the offensive pressure and being wary of the opponent's counterattack, Gretz also hesitated, but in the end he chose a safe tactic, first to ensure that he did not concede a goal.

The irony is that Ye Qiu seems to follow this line of thinking, everything is based on the principle of not conceding a goal.

It is conceivable what kind of football will be played by the two teams that neither want to take risks nor concede goals. The game will soon return to the stalemate at the beginning.

…………

…………

After Ye Qiu walked out of the coach's bench from the start of the game, he no longer had the time or thought to sit back.

He knew very well in his heart that such a game, for the second team of Ajax, tests the tactical execution and the ability to avoid mistakes. If the second team of Ajax can guarantee that they will not have fatal A mistake, then Ye Qiu believes that his team can defend to the end.

Therefore, he stood on the sidelines, throwing all his heart into the game. He had to keep an eye on the players and the situation, so as not to let the situation get out of control, and to kill all possible mistakes before they were born. middle.

But even so, uncontrollable factors still appeared.

After all, Van Drew is a young player. Although he is favored by many people in the second team, he still looks timid when facing a famous star like Korca, which makes him very nervous.

In a close defense situation, as long as he blocked Korca and buffered, Maduro, who was about to be in place, could join forces with him, but Van der Rohe chose rashly.

This was a trap intentionally set up by Korka. As soon as he saw that Van der Rohe had made a move, he immediately pulled the ball and dribbled the ball very dexterously past Van der Rohe who had lost his center of gravity. Can helplessly, watching Korka pass by him in despair.

He dribbled the ball to the right side of the penalty area of ​​the Ajax second team. Korka noticed the situation in the penalty area. He passed the ball diagonally and passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area. A common combination in Wen's offensive tactics.

Nilis is an old courtier of Eindhoven. This season is his sixth season in Eindhoven. He has scored more than double digits in every season, and last season he reached 24. The two forwards formed by him and Ruud van Nistelrooy scored a total of 55 goals, and the attack power shocked the whole of Europe.

Now, he was lying in ambush in the penalty area, ready to attack the right post. As soon as he saw Korka's pass, Nilis knew that the play was coming, and immediately rushed forward quickly, preparing to jump high and compete for the top.

But at this moment, he saw a black shadow rushing towards him from the left side, leaping high before him, facing Korka's oblique pass, and headed the ball go out.

But because of the haste, Abidal's header did not clear too far. Nilis noticed that the landing point was nearby and wanted to grab it, but Romedal, who followed Abidal from the left, also wanted to They wanted to grab it, but the two of them accidentally bumped into each other, and then tried to avoid giving each other a chance.

Under this kind of blunder, Keivu immediately cleared the ball and resolved a crisis of destruction for Ajax.

It was very clearly heard that the two thousand Ajax fans in the stands let out a cry of relief.

Because everyone knows very well that if this goal is scored by Eindhoven, the consequences will be disastrous.

Ye Qiu also felt a little lucky, and said to Rick Link with a wry smile: "It seems that our luck is not bad!"

"Van Drew is too nervous, something will happen sooner or later!" Rick Link also looked shocked.

If that goal was scored by PSV, then the game would not have to be played.

How could Ye Qiu not know?
"Let Van Duyen go to warm up. In the second half, he goes up to play central defender, Heitinga goes to the right, and Van der Rohe comes down!" Ye Qiu thought about it and decided to make a substitution.

The reason why he joined Van Drew was because Van Drew cooperated with other people more tacitly, but he didn't expect that this old boy performed well against other teams, and he was also good when he played against the Going Eagles. Inhowin was nervous, isn't that depressing?

After hearing this, Rick Link nodded immediately, walked back, and went to the bench to tell Van Duyen to prepare for warm-up.

Both sides made a threat each, and both came close to scoring, but neither scored in the end.

After it was almost over, Ye Qiu urged the players to pay more attention to defense and positioning, especially the mutual defense and filling. They must pay attention to it. This also allowed Ajax's second team's defense to be consolidated again.

PSV Eindhoven's attacks again and again could not get any more gaps and opportunities in the penalty area of ​​the Ajax [-] team. The players of the Ajax [-] team began to run and defend tenaciously, Eindhoven's offense was resolved again and again, trying to keep the goal.

Under such circumstances, Gretz did not dare to take risks. Ajax's fast and smooth offensive counterattack left him a very deep impression, and it can even be said to be a shadow. He does not want to come again once.

There is a good saying, playing with fire and setting yourself on fire, Gretz is a defender after all, and safety is his first creed.

In the end, both sides failed to score a goal in the 45 minutes of the first half, and in the end they could only temporarily draw 0:0.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, all Ajax fans in the audience applauded and cheered for the players of the Ajax second team.

Although the game was embarrassing, passive, and depressing, at least the players of Ajax's second team showed their hard work and exhausted all their strength to play, and that was enough. isn't it?

It can be said that the second team of Ajax has preserved their dignity so far in the game. No one, even the pickiest ones, can ask them to do more and do better.

Only Ye Qiu, he felt that it was not enough, it could be better!
