The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 32 New Goals
The new training method has a very good effect on training players' ability to stop the ball, pass the ball and touch the ball with one foot in a fast pace. Just use it freely.

Moreover, through Ye Qiu's long-term research, it was found that this training method is also of great help to the players' physical fitness.

Just imagine, running around a square for a long time at a constant speed and changing directions, which requires a lot of physical fitness for the players.

The upgraded version of the new training method is actually an upgrade on the original basis.

It is still in the same square of 10 meters by 10 meters, and it is still divided into four corners of ABCD, BCD each occupies one person, and the other 5 people are in A area, and they still serve from A to B. This is not an upgrade. It's the same as before.

The difference is that when A serves the ball to B and immediately runs to B, the player in B knocks the ball back to A immediately, and then runs to C, while the A player who runs to B gets a knockback on the way. After receiving the ball, the ball is passed diagonally to C. After receiving the ball, player C knocks back to B who is running towards C, and then runs to D by himself, while B passes it diagonally to D, and so on.

This kind of practice routine is actually still testing the players' pass and catch coordination, but this time it has added a lot of difficulties. The first is the triangle coordination, especially when running at high speed, the observation of the partner's return to the ball, For example, the judgment of the timing of knocking back is very important in this kind of training.

This kind of training has high requirements on the ability and tacit cooperation of the players to pass the ball back and receive the ball back, and it also has higher requirements on the ability of the players to pass, stop the ball and touch the ball with one foot than the basic version. Running ability also has higher requirements.

Triangular coordination is the most basic element in the modern football system, and this kind of knockback and movement is also very common in games, such as the common 2 over 1, and even continuous wall-hitting coordination, which are actually included in this set During training, such a set of training methods can be said to be very close to actual combat.

Ye Qiu knew about this upgraded version of the training method, and he felt that the so-called upgrade was actually an upgrade on the basic version, but both sets of training methods were very useful, so he decided to persist in the training class for a long time And implementation, so that players can train to be able to use their fingers.

After the battle with Eindhoven, the morale of Ajax's second team was greatly boosted. The players all admired Ye Qiu. Whatever Ye Qiu asked them to do now, they would do it without compromise.

It was the same as when he first started training the new training method. Although he had the foundation of the new training method, when he first started practicing the upgraded version, he was also full of mistakes and omissions. But this time Ye Qiu was not afraid, because he had two full weeks of training. Time can slowly train players and slowly prepare for games.

Defeating Eindhoven made Ye Qiu famous in one fell swoop, but that was only in Amsterdam. In the Netherlands, many people had only heard of him, while in Europe, the influence was even weaker, and it can even be said that there was not much Fame, because now the mainstream in Europe is concerned about the four major leagues, who cares about the Netherlands?
But this also brought benefits to Ye Qiu, that is, he could avoid being entangled by reporters.

Utrecht's record in the Eredivisie has not always been ideal. Since the 80s, although they have successfully relegated in the Eredivisie every season, they are basically ranked in the middle and lower reaches. This season, they dug from The Hague. After losing the 39-year-old marshal Mark Water, the team's performance has not been satisfactory.

But one very interesting thing is that Utrecht has 7 wins, 1 draw and 10 losses.

It's definitely an amazing record, because they only have 1 draw, and the rest are either lost or won.

At least seeing this result, it is not difficult to guess the style of this Utrecht team.

"Mark Walter?"

In the medical department without Huang Chu, Ye Qiu was chatting with Bobby Harms, Van Dude, and his two assistants. Ye Qiu asked the two seniors about the head coach of Utrecht, Mark Voort. .

The Netherlands is actually very small, and the football world is even smaller.

"I remember this man!" Bobby Harms smiled and tasted the Tieguanyin that Ye Qiu brought from his hometown, "Speaking of which, he has been favored by many people in the past two years. Nord made his debut and then went to Den Haag, but after playing in Den Haag for a year, his performance was not good, and he also worked as a youth team coach for half a year."

"I went to Dordrecht in 83, returned to Den Haag two years later as a youth team coach, then promoted to the first team in 90, coached Den Haag as head coach in 91, but the results were not good, and I returned to the youth team to coach, It was not until 94 that he coached alone in the amateur league, and he achieved good results within two years, and was invited back by The Hague."

"During the two years in The Hague, he brought The Hague, which was almost relegated, to eighth in the league in the first season, fifth in the second season, and almost entered the European competition. People are very optimistic about this young coach, and they all think that he will become the best young head coach in the Netherlands."

When talking about this, Bobby Harms laughed and shook his head, "But his coaching in Utrecht this season still seems too immature. The overall strength of the team is unbalanced, with too few draws and losses. There are too many, the score is not high, the ranking is naturally falling all the way, and the results of Utrecht are also half-dead!"

Ye Qiu still couldn't see that the 39-year-old Mark Walter had such a background, his name was not small.

"Some people say that the league depends on offense, but in my opinion, defense is the foundation!"

Bobby Harms smiled at Ye Qiu and nodded, "That's right, without a solid defense, there are too many ups and downs in victory and defeat, there is no continuity in results, and points are lacking in efficiency and continuity, just like this season. In Utrecht, there is always a feeling of hanging your head on your waist and betting your life with others, either you win and get 3 points, or you lose nothing!" After finishing speaking, Harms shook his head and laughed.

Perhaps, this is the reason why Mark Water is too immature as he said.

The offense and defense in football are somewhat similar to the yin and yang in Chinese Tai Chi. There is me in you, and you in me. It is difficult to distinguish who is more important than the other, and it is impossible to abandon the other to survive alone.

Ye Qiu once seriously studied his game against PSV. Leaving aside other factors, he finally came to the conclusion that in addition to a solid overall defense, several counterattacks played well. play a pivotal role.

The threatening counterattack made Gretz clearly see that the second team of Ajax has enough ability to threaten their goal, so PSV did not dare to rush too high when attacking. Pay attention to the anti-counterfeiting problem behind them, which prevents them from investing the maximum force in the attack.

Perhaps it can be said that the greater the threat of a counterattack, the fewer troops PSV have to invest in the attack, because they have to take counterattack into consideration.

But it must also be seen that the counterattack of the Ajax second team is based on a solid defense.

So, here comes the question, is offense important?Or is defense important?
This will eventually evolve into a discussion about whether the chicken came first and the egg, or the egg and the chicken!

Ye Qiu also understood in his previous life that the so-called league relies on offense. steady.

Of course, it is not without Capello coaching Real Madrid for the second time, or the kind of Jedi counterattack that Rijkaard coached Barcelona, ​​but that kind of counterattack depends on the timing, location, and harmony. Which head coach would pin his hope of winning the championship on this way of winning the championship that even Capello and Rijkaard themselves were not sure of?
Therefore, for a truly strong team and a team with a championship appearance, the offense and defense must be very balanced, and the scoring is also very efficient.

"What? Thinking of how to fight Utrecht?" Bobby Harms asked when he saw Ye Qiu's smile.

"I've been studying Utrecht's stats these days, I did a statistic myself, and I found one very interesting thing, that is, this Utrecht team has very few draws, reversals and second-half wins. There are very few goals, and almost all their winning games are the wave of rushing after the start of the first half!"

This is the result of Ye Qiu's own efforts, because he can't see the reports submitted by the first-team scouts to Waters and Westerhoff, so he uses a more stupid method, that is, watching videos or collecting some Data, own statistics.

In the end, he came to a conclusion that Utrecht's wins were almost always scored first, and they were scored in the first half. Many of them were concentrated in the first 20 minutes, or even the first 10 minutes, and no goals were scored after more than 20 minutes , they must lose.

In that tie, they scored in the 39th minute, but they were quickly equalized by the opponent, and the two sides scored 1:1.

"So..." Bobby Harms admired Ye Qiu more and more.

When it comes to coaching talent, these are difficult to change, but hard work can make up for one's weakness. This sentence is also effective for a head coach, but the premise is that you have to know how to work hard and in what areas, so that you can make up for it. clumsy.

Ye Qiu undoubtedly has an outstanding talent, and at the same time has a diligence that most people don't have.

"So, I won't make them very comfortable!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

When Bobby Harms heard him playing riddles, he also pointed at him and scolded him with a smile, but he was also cunning and vaguely guessed it.

"By the way, Bobby, I haven't thanked you yet. Eric has made great progress recently, and his mood is much better than before. Thank you!" Ye Qiu thought of Abidal, if it wasn't for Bobby Hames In other words, Abidal may not be enlightened.

"That kid is a piece of jade in the rough, you have to carve it carefully." Bobby Harms also admired Abidal.

In the football war, only those who refuse to admit defeat can have the last laugh.

"Actually, coaching a team is not as difficult as others imagine!" Bobby Harms had a very good impression of Ye Qiu, so when talking on weekdays, he would casually say something that would benefit Ye Qiu a lot. If it is shallow, now that Abidal is mentioned, Bobby Harms doesn't mind saying a little more.

With decades of coaching career and experience, Bobby Harms' casual opinions are extraordinary.

"Today's teams are becoming more and more international, such as PSV Eindhoven, the reason why they can build a strong lineup so quickly is because their players are not only Dutch, but also other players from Africa and Europe. countries, and players from South America, who come from all over the world, with all kinds of beliefs, personalities and taboos."

"How to manage such a group of people, this is a headache for every head coach!" Bobby Harms said lightly, but Ye Qiu listened seriously, with a teachable attitude.

"It is impossible for any head coach to make everyone in the locker room friendly and friendly. All he can do is under the overall situation of the club, everyone works together and works together for a goal. This requires The head coach needs to get to know the players, find out from them what the players want, and then use this to manage him!"

"In addition, the head coach also needs to find some commonalities from each player. If there is no commonality, then create a commonality for them. For example, draw up a goal for them so that they all understand in their hearts. , I have to fight for this goal, only such a team can form a fighting force!"

Ye Qiu couldn't help nodding his head, maybe this is what the saying goes, twisted into a rope!

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu couldn't help thinking of another thing.

Bobby Harms seemed to be talking about experience at this time, but in fact, he was reminding Ye Qiu?
The goal of the second team of Ajax this season is to win the Dutch youth league, but after defeating PSV, this goal is not so difficult for the morale of the second team of Ajax Already, or it can be said that the mentality of the players has changed, and they will be eager to achieve higher goals.

In order to defeat Eindhoven before, they could be twisted into one rope, but now, after defeating Eindhoven, there is no new goal, so they may become a mess.

After thinking about this, Ye Qiu smiled, and nodded towards Bobby Harms, "Thank you, Bobby!"

"You don't need to thank me, I didn't say anything!" Bobby Harms winked at Van Doud and laughed.

…………

…………

The next day, when the players came to the locker room of the second team in De Tokmoster one after another, each of them could clearly see a large piece of paper on the wall of the locker room, on which was printed two segment schedule.

One of the schedules is in the form of a tree. Starting from the second round of Ajax's second team, it lists the three opponents of the past three rounds of the Dutch Cup. At the upper end of the tree, there are still two games to be played. Ascending to the top of the tree, the names of the three professional teams Go Ahead, PSV Eindhoven and Utrecht are all written on it, and the top two teams still have scores.

Seeing this schedule map, the players are very clear that the head coach is reminding them that the team has climbed to the present after defeating the Going Eagles and Eindhoven, and the next opponent is Utrecht.

Below the schedule, there is a sentence: Let all professional teams remember each of our names from now on!
The other schedule is relatively simple, and everyone can clearly see it at a glance. This is the second half of the Dutch Youth League. At present, 13 rounds have been completed, and there are 13 rounds left in the second half. Who is the opponent in each round is clearly written, making it clear at a glance.

There is also a sentence under the schedule: There is only one goal, the championship!

The two schedules made all the players stand in a daze in front of them, because they all knew what it meant.

In the history of Dutch football, many second teams have participated in the Dutch Cup, but there has never been a second team that has won the Dutch Cup. If they really win the championship, then their group will undoubtedly be included in Dutch football. annals!

Especially if they can win the Youth League Championship again, then they will become the most legendary double champion in the history of Dutch football. What will that bring them, need I say more?

They are all a group of professional players, and some even have the ability to live by playing football, but there is a difference in living by playing football, whether to become the lowest professional player, or to go to the next level, or even climb to the top. The top of professional football?

This is undoubtedly the dream of all Ajax second team players. Not everyone can realize it, but now, they have a chance, because playing against the Dutch professional team is undoubtedly the best platform!

"This will let the whole of Europe know us!" Van der Vaart was a little surprised, his voice trembling, but he was laughing and excited.

There is a fanaticism in the eyes of many players, because they are a group of young people with aspirations and ambitions. They are all eager to continue on the road of football. This belief has supported them from Ajax. The youth team climbed all the way to the current second team.

For them, the opportunity is in front of them, as long as they go forward, they will have a chance to succeed!

"Is that possible?" But there's definitely a lack of confidence.

Abidal laughed coldly and dismissively, "Is there anything impossible? Even PSV can be killed, so why can't they also kill other teams?"

As soon as PSV is mentioned, the blood of this group of young people boils.

"Yes, we are the team that killed Eindhoven. Is there any team in the Netherlands that is stronger than Eindhoven?" Fighting cock.

Although beating Eindhoven does not mean they can beat other teams, but in the hearts of this group of young people, being able to beat Eindhoven has brought them unprecedented confidence and courage, making them stronger than ever. Be more motivated to meet the challenges of every next game.

Sometimes, a game decides not only 3 points or the right to advance, but more!
