The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 92 Fist Theory
I don't know when Ye Qiu became a thorn in Gretz's heart.

Not only him, Eindhoven's general manager Frank Arnesen also regards Ye Qiu as Eindhoven's strongest competitor, because Ajax he led in the past year , surprising progress has been made.

Leaving personal grievances aside, Gretz believes that Ye Qiu was the most surprising opponent in the Eredivisie last season.

With the lowest average age in the Eredivisie League, it still firmly occupies the second place in the league, reaching the semi-finals of the Dutch Cup and the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup. Only Ajax has such a report card. Directors like fools would think it was a failed season, and only those who don't understand football would think that Ye Qiu should be responsible for not winning the championship.

Is this Ye Qiu's fault?
Even Gretz, who is a competitor, couldn't help but want to defend him!

He was able to win the league championship in his first season in charge of PSV, but that was based on the accumulation of PSV in the past few years. Eindhoven's strong lineup, in the entire Eredivisie, which team can compete?
If Eindhoven at that time was a team similar to this season's Ajax, which had just completed the reorganization and had been in turmoil for many years before, who would dare to say that they could win the championship in the first season?Who can guarantee that they can do better than Ye Qiu?
Of course, these words are rotten in Gretz's heart, because he doesn't like Ye Qiu, on the contrary, he hates this person very much!

From last season's Holland Cup knockout round, when he met Ye Qiu and his second team for the first time, to this season's Super Cup, and the league game at the Philips Stadium, he hardly gained anything from Ye Qiu. Not even a little bit cheaper.

In the past two years, Gretz and his PSV Eindhoven have been invincible throughout the Eredivisie, but they have lost to Ye Qiu time and time again. He attaches great importance to the game, especially the first league game, and he is determined to win it.

The first league game is related to 3 points. Eindhoven lost, which is bound to give Ajax a new hope of reversal. This is a situation that Gretz and all Eindhoven people are unwilling to see, so This game must be won.

At the same time, the first game will also have a profound impact on the semi-finals of the Holland Cup three days later. It is a single-match knockout system. Whoever loses will be eliminated from the Dutch Cup. Therefore, Gretz must win to enter the Netherlands cup final.

Fortunately, the recent Ajax situation is very bad.

There was a disagreement in the board of directors. The faction headed by Korner announced with great fanfare that if Ye Qiu failed to win the league championship, he would dismiss get out of class and leave the Arena, but the faction headed by chairman Van Prager argued hard , Guarantee that even if Ye Qiu fails to win the championship, he will definitely stay in Ajax.

The disagreement of the board of directors has been heated up in the media, causing Ajax fans to be divided into two factions, and the media is also divided into two factions to discuss and quarrel there, which is bound to bring Ajax big influence.

The match against Eindhoven was too important, so important that it could almost be said to be Ye Qiu's life-and-death battle in Ajax!
How will he fight?
Gretz and his coaching staff had guessed for a long time, but it was obvious that they still didn't know Ye Qiu well enough.

Because, when they thought that Ye Qiu would adopt a more steady approach, Ye Qiu surprised them all. From the first minute of the game, Ye Qiu pressed aggressively, adopted an almost crazy attack, and completely suppressed Eindhoven. .

…………

…………

"...Gilberto Silva sent the ball to the left and gave it to Abidal..."

"...Abidal passed the ball to Robben, and Robben faced Oye alone in front, one-on-one, good chance!"

"In the past, Robben made a realistic fake move, tricked Oye, passed PSV's right back, beautiful personal breakthrough, Ajax once again pierced PSV's defense! "

"Roben dribbled the ball to the left side of the penalty area, and Nikiforov came to block it, but Robben made a cross early, and the ball was low!"

"Zlatan Ibrahimovic is coming in from outside the box, he's battling Hovland, he's got the point, he's heading in!"

"Oh...the Swedish center's header really needs to be practiced again. If the part of his head is a little bit lower, Ajax will break the deadlock. It's a pity!"

Not only the on-site commentator was sorry, but all the Ajax fans in the audience were also sorry.

After the start of the game, Ajax played very active from the two sides, especially Robben on the left. Against Oye, he often got one-on-one opportunities, which can maximize Robben personal ability.

"Ajax's tactics in this game are indeed quite bold. Ye Qiu's 433 pushed the defense line very high from the beginning. This is a high-post defensive strategy he is good at. Using this high-post defense can maximize the Guaranteed that the midfielder and the backcourt provide a steady stream of offensive support to the offensive players in the frontcourt.”

"However, Eindhoven's most solid defense in the Eredivisie is not broken just by breaking it. Although Ajax's offense is very good, Eindhoven's defense is also in place, but it is a little bit embarrassing. .”

That's why the Ajax fans in the stands kept yelling humiliatingly, asking the PSV players, "Do you dare to leave your penalty area like a man?"

But it is clear that Eindhoven doesn't want to, but can't do it.

After a season of running-in and adjustment, although Ajax's midfield seems to have only three players, the controllability is very good, because Ajax has no obvious front, center and back three lines. The boundaries are gone.

The two full-backs Abidal and Maicon can press forward when the team is attacking. At this time, Ajax's midfield seems to have 5 players. Even when necessary, Lucio's Going forward will pile up the number of Ajax midfielders to 6 at a certain time.

This is the case when attacking, and it is also very fluid when defending. The two full-backs retreat, the defense falls, the two wingers also retreat to support the midfield, and the center interferes with the opponent's central defender in front. Ajax's The midfielder still has the numerical advantage.

The so-called high position defense, the oppression and pressing of the midfield and the front field are very important. If this is lost, the high position defense will no longer be the team's advantage, but become the team's fatal disadvantage.

In the past season, Ye Qiu has been constantly adjusting and running-in, in order to ensure that the team can always maintain high-intensity oppression and pressing in the midfield and frontcourt in any game and under any circumstances, and ensure that the high-post defense gives Opponent pressure.

Ajax did a good job against Rome and Liverpool, and this game against Eindhoven was also unambiguous.

Sitting in the coaching bench of the home team at Arena Stadium, Ye Qiu turned his wrist and glanced at Hamilton on his wrist. Immediately, the stunning figure of Huang Chu appeared in his mind. His heart warmed up and he looked at the time. 15 years had passed. Minutes later, the score was still 0:0, which made him sigh for no reason.

Eindhoven is indeed very strong, both offensively and defensively, they are very good.

With Ajax's current lineup, if all the stars have matured, killing Eindhoven is like cutting vegetables, but the problem is that this group of boys is still young and needs more players. training and growth.

Walking to the sidelines, Ye Qiu waved his hands at the players and made gestures, "Take it easy and back off a bit!"

Eindhoven has a Kežman in this game. Although the performance of this forward this season is far inferior to that of Ruud van Nistelrooy before, his strength is beyond doubt, but he still needs to further integrate into Eindhoven. Wen, adapt to the Eredivisie league.

Ye Qiu knew very well that if he couldn't attack for a long time, he would be easily counterattacked, and Kezhiman's speed was the biggest threat.

But Ajax's retraction is not to retract to its own penalty area, how is that possible, but more to start to arrange interceptions in the middle circle.

…………

…………

As soon as Ajax retreated, the middle circle became the focus of the two sides' struggle.

Sneijder's position is on the right, which is to facilitate him to support Van der Meyde on the right at any time.

With van der Meyde and Maicon, Ajax's right flank showed a certain threat in the second half of the season. When the left flank relied more on Robben's individual combat, the right flank was even more threatening, especially It is Van der Meyde, whose performance this season has really surprised everyone, and his limelight has even overwhelmed Ajax's star of hope, Van der Vaart.

Because of this, Eindhoven's left is the focus of defense.

Now, when Ye Qiu said that he wanted to back down, the players from Eindhoven immediately rushed out like wolves.

As soon as Van der Meyde got the ball, he immediately felt that there were two players around him double-teaming him. Ibrahimovic was also following Hovland at any time, and Nikiforov was close to Hovland, ready to respond at any time. Indhoven's defense leaned heavily to this side.

It's no wonder that both Van der Meyde and Ibrahimovic are players who are troublesome one-on-one. The former is fast and has a strong breakthrough ability. Maicon, who is very high, and Sneijder, who is always available, have too much pressure on the right.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a Swede, is an atypical center forward. He has the body of a traditional high center forward, but he also has very delicate foot skills, is not slow, and has a very flexible body. Such a player is not to mention Hovland , Any central defender will feel a headache if he touches it.

Van der Meyde failed to pass the ball in the end. After being intercepted by Eindhoven, he played a counterattack, but in the end Ajax's defense intercepted Eindhoven's counterattack, and Lucio intercepted it in time. He got off the ball at the feet of Brooking and made a clearance.

Just when Ajax returned to the defense as a whole and was ready to meet PSV's throw-in, Keita approached Sneijder.

"Boss said, find Robben!" Keita said in a low voice when they passed by Sneijder.

This was very simple, but Sneijder understood it after hearing it.

Next, Ajax and PSV Eindhoven had a few more back-and-forth offenses and defenses. Both sides were unable to break the situation, especially Ajax, after the active attack 15 minutes before the opening. , began to consciously slow down the pace, the defense line is no longer pressed up, and more troops are gathered in the midfield.

"It seems that Ajax didn't dare to make a big deal, and was a little afraid of Eindhoven's counterattack ability!"

Van Bommel's pass and Kežman's speed are all very threatening attack methods, especially when defending in high positions, and Ye Qiu has been unable to attack for a long time, so choosing to slow down first is also a rational choice.

If you always maintain a strong and fast-paced offensive, it is estimated that in the second half, everyone in Ajax will have to rest.

Ajax's attack starts from the right, and Gilberto Silva and Lucio's balls are all to the right. Inhoven's defensive attention was concentrated on the right.

Then, wait for the opportunity slowly!
This waited for nearly 10 minutes.

Facing the high ball passed by Van Bommel to Kežman, Kivu firmly blocked the position ahead of time and diverted the header to Gilberto Silva. The Brazilian midfielder kicked the ball back to the right as always, Maicon The one who goes forward gets the ball in the middle and moves forward.

Van der Meyde is always followed by Baoma, who is like a bullshit plaster, so Maicon didn't look for Van der Meyer this time, but passed the ball diagonally to Ibrahimovic who retreated.

The Swede retreated to take the ball, stopped the ball firmly under his feet, and leaned against Hovland with his body. The latter could not reach the ball at all, so he could only choose to hold Ibrahimovic with his body firmly, not to let He turned around easily, and then waited for the support of his teammates.

Of course Ibrahimovic knew Hovland's choice. He exerted force from his shoulders, suppressed Hovland, and then obliquely retreated to the center circle to take the ball. This immediately let him get rid of Hovland and Van Bommel. And Nikiforov had not had time to form an encirclement.

Van Bommel had no choice, and immediately moved forward to plug the loopholes and limit Ibrahimovic.

The Swede knocked the ball back early to the unmarked Sneijder behind Van Bommel.

Sneijder was facing Ibrahimovic, and he could clearly see that at the moment Ibrahimovic passed the ball, Van Bommel realized the problem and immediately turned around and chased him back. He must not be stuck by this difficult opponent. , Van Bommel will eat himself!

So after Sneijder stopped the ball, he immediately turned sideways, controlled the ball with his left foot, and used his shoulders and body to block between the ball and Van Bommel. The latter immediately stopped suddenly and stood still, because he knew that he had already Lost the first opportunity to steal the ball.

But at this moment, Sneijder hit the ball with his left foot and kicked out a quick and sharp arc.

The ball went past everyone and went straight down the middle behind PSV's defense.

At this moment, the experienced Nikiforov was the first to react and was taken aback, while Van Bommel was also stunned because he finally realized that he and his teammates had made a fatal mistake.

On the left, Robben was out of the offense. In the past ten minutes, he hardly participated in the offense. After the performance, his physical fitness dropped a lot, and Oye's solid defense and restrictions made him a little bit off.

Is this really the case?
Ajax's offensive is seriously right-leaning, which is actually a move to paralyze the opponent, making Eindhoven habitually think again and again that Ajax will continue to go to the right, because Robben on the left sees It doesn't look good.

In this case, PSV's defense would naturally focus on Ajax's right and ignore the left.

At the moment when Sneijder passed the ball, there were only Robben and Oye in the entire left half of PSV Eindhoven's half, and Oye was still a little away from Robben in order to keep a certain distance from Nikiforov. Far.

Of course, correspondingly, in order to avoid offside, Robben also paid attention to keeping his position behind PSV's defense.

But for Robben, his speed is sure to beat Oye.

At this moment, everyone, including the Ajax fans in the stands, was taken aback and felt an indescribable excitement.

Because Ajax, who were slow just now, suddenly accelerated their offensive, especially the speed when Robben broke through Oye, which brought an indescribable joy to everyone!
And the rhythm of the game was completely broken at the moment when Sneijder passed the ball and when Robben sprinted forward!

In the books that Ye Qiu has read, there are a few words to describe the rhythm of the game.

"If the method of attack is likened to a fist that is thrown out, then the fist that is retracted is more powerful."

"The fist is retracted slowly. Slowly is to adjust your arm and fist to the most comfortable angle and posture. This is to enable yourself to make faster and more powerful fists anytime and anywhere, and while retracting the fist. , you can also better observe the opponent's loopholes and disadvantages. Once you find the loopholes, you will swing your fist without hesitation. The deadliest blow!"

"Slowness is a kind of adjustment, a kind of brewing, it serves for the next fastness, and fastness is the explosion after slowness accumulates to a certain level."

Ye Qiu admired this fist theory of rhythm control very much, and he also knew very well that the so-called control of rhythm often does not depend on a single person, but requires the whole team to work together.

Just like in the Barcelona team in Ye Qiu's previous life, many people said that Xavi and Busquets controlled the rhythm of Barcelona, ​​is this true?If they are really in control, then once the ball leaves them and passes to other players' feet, and other players increase their tempo, is their previous control still useful?

Controlling the rhythm is a matter for the 11 players in the team, it is collective, not individual!

So, if the control is not controlled by them, what role do they play at the level of controlling rhythm?
The role of Busquets is to sort out the midfield and distribute the ball. Harvey's role is to find the opponent's loopholes and undertake the transition from slow to fast, which is his deadliest pass.

Harvey? Alonso and Pirlo are double-duty, not only to allocate players, but also responsible for passing.

In the Ajax team, Gilberto Silva is in charge of distributing the ball, and Sneijder is responsible for sorting out the midfield and transitioning offense and defense. Cut to the middle to help Sneijder complete the offensive and defensive conversion.

Controlling the tempo equals controlling the game!

In Ajax's attack this time, Robben threw away Oyer and entered the penalty area to form a single goal. Finally, he passed the opponent's goalkeeper Waterrus and shot an empty goal. This undoubtedly confirmed Ye Qiu's fist theory. The correctness!
