amazing coach

In these ten minutes of Ajax's crazy counterattack.

Alkmaar once again returned to Jiang Mu's "defensive counterattack" tactics. This is not because the team scored a goal, so there is no need to overwhelm Ajax offensively, but because the opponent pressed across the board and the gaps between the three lines

It disappears, and you can't find a good gap when attacking, so it's better to wait patiently for the opportunity. The 90-minute game has not yet passed a third of the time, and there are many opportunities. There is no need to compete with Ajax in the away game.

High ball possession rate.

Whose scene is more beautiful? All he wants is the result.

Everyone in Alkmaar except the goalkeeper is actively pressing. In order to compress the space, this pressing starts from his own half, and defenses are deployed layer by layer. Ajax cannot easily pass the ball in his own half.

Take control.

Bring it up. Never give your opponent any room to dribble in the 30-meter dangerous zone, because the opponent's personal ability is too strong, making them drive crazy, and everything will be difficult to control.

Alkmaar now wants to compete with Ajax.

This is the only way to go.

Before the game, Jiang Mu had been emphasizing to the Alkmaar players: Our cooperation is not as good as our opponents' tacit understanding, and our personal abilities are not as strong as our opponents. The only way to win is to defend and counterattack, seize the opponent's weaknesses, and hit the opponent's vital points.

For thirty minutes, Ajax had the absolute upper hand in possession of the ball.

64% to 36%, shot.

Ajax 8 times.

Alkmaar has 3 times, an average of once every ten minutes. Number of fouls.

Alkmaar has 10 times.

Ajax only had 3 yellow cards and Alkmaar had two yellow cards. Altidore just kicked Litmannen down after he played the ball. Although the game did not stop, the yellow card was later reissued. Ajax

No yellow cards have been received yet. In terms of goals, Alkmaar scored one goal and Ajax did not score.

It is often said that data does not lie, but numbers really do, because if you only look at the data, you will definitely think that Ajax has the absolute upper hand. Alkmaar was beaten in a panic and had no power to fight back. However,

In fact, Ajax only created three good chances.

In the stands, the Ajax fans in front of the TV did not see the hearty game they were looking forward to. The game was cut into pieces by Alkmaar's players. Among these fragments, Ajax

The fans only saw mistakes, fouls, whistles that interrupted the game from time to time, and the cheers of Alkmaar fans.

The old people left behind did not perform well, the new players seemed to be still adapting to the Dutch football style, and the hearty style of play in the first two games was completely lost.

The game went like this.

This is what Jiang Mu wants to see, but it is what Olson least wants to see. Olson roughly guessed what Jiang Mu wanted to do before the game. But he had no way to stop him because he didn't know what Jiang Mu wanted to do.

How will Mujiang do it? Even if his opponent scored a goal, Olson still felt a little lucky. Fortunately, he did not use the Oriental Dragons' play style to study this Alkmaar team. They have a completely different play style.

If he really thought Jiang Mu would set up the iron bucket formation, he would probably have conceded more goals instead of just one.

Now Olson knew what Jiang Mu did, but he couldn't figure out how to deal with Jiang Mu's three midfielders and half-court press. These three midfielders almost formed a barrier, directly isolating the forward and midfielder.

.Making Ajax’s crosses and penetration impossible.

"What do you think, Parkos?" Olson turned to the assistant coach Parkos standing next to him.

"I think the opponent's three defensive midfielders have too much impact on our offense. They have accumulated too many people in the middle. Three defensive midfielders and two central defenders, five people. I think we should still work hard on the wings." Parks

expressed his opinion.

"Well, continue to strengthen the crosses from the wing, and let them also walk to the center and shoot in the ribs to distract the opponent's defense in the center."

Olson finally changed his mind and admitted that the opponent's cutting in from the wing was an effective tactic, and he was ready to retaliate in kind.

Litmanen is playing more and more depressed. Since joining Ajax, he has never felt as depressed as he is today. The opponent gives him too little space to dribble, and his eyes are full of opponents.

, finally got rid of the close Italian defense.

But he didn't dare to take even one more step.

Gattuso's defense and body are not the best he has ever seen in football.

But it is the most difficult to deal with, as long as you slow down.

They may be entangled by him again. Even if they get past him, the Italians will still be unyielding and not give up.

As soon as Litmanen received the ball, Gattuso stuck to him, preventing him from turning around and facing the goal.

In the first 30 meters of space, Alkmaar's position was very good. After receiving the ball, Litmanen found that he had no forward path for the ball...

Litmanning was stunned for a moment.

Immediately move the ball under your feet to prevent it from being snatched away by the opponent, and at the same time hope that your teammates will respond quickly.

At this time

Witzger ran out of position and appeared in Litmanning's sight. Litmanning gave the football to Witzger without hesitation.

Then he turned around and ran forward, trying to play a one-two with Witzger!

Witzger and Litmanen cooperated tacitly and immediately passed the ball. Litmanen instantly shook off Gattuso. Just as he was about to get the ball, a black shadow suddenly flashed and the ball disappeared.

Litmanning stretched out his legs to block him, but was hit on the shoulder by his opponent and was brought to the ground.

It was AZ Alkmaar center Drogba who stole the ball!

What a defensive forward!

Drogba passed the football to Altidore not far away and ran forward himself.

Altidore's biggest characteristic is that he passes the ball decisively and never sticks to the ball. He doesn't stop the ball and directly passes it.

The football flew high over the Ajax midfield.

Fly to the right.

Judging from the TV screen, there seems to be no one there...

"Danger! Kuit!"

Avant, the commentator, screamed.

After the ball was passed, Kuyt's figure instantly appeared in front of everyone.

The ball falls from a high point.

The distance was just in front of Kuyt, giving him a small amount of advance, but there was no one within ten meters in front of Kuyt! There was only full-back Melchiot behind him.

Just now when Litmanen was planning the attack.

Ajax pressed forward from the left wing. Unexpectedly, Alkmaar's counterattack came so quickly.

And that Altidore's pass was so sudden, so concise, fast and accurate.

Next, as long as Kuyt takes the ball well.

Then Alkmaar's counterattack poses a great threat.

In order to save time, Kuyt did not stop the ball and accelerated as hard as he could to follow the ball. He did not control the ball until it was about to roll out of the sideline. By this time, he had already reached a position parallel to the penalty area.

"Beautiful! Ajax only has Blind and De Boer returning to defense. And Alkmaar also has two outflanking players, Drogba and Altidore! The counterattack is too sharp!"

Avant, the on-site commentator, couldn't help but praise. He really wanted to praise Altidore's non-stop long pass just now, but unfortunately he couldn't care about it now.

"Ah! Kuyt didn't cross! He cut inside!"

The commentator Avant shouted, now he finally realizes the power of the winger cutting inside, and no longer thinks that the previous goal was deceived and the opponent used the cutting tactic.

At this time, all the fans were staring at Kuyt. Everyone knew that the performance of this young guy would almost determine the outcome of this game.

Olson nervously grabbed the hand of assistant coach Parks. Parks's body was shaking. They knew that the most dangerous time had come.

Alkmaar head coach Jiang Mu's performance was not much better. He originally wanted to show a detached calm attitude, but he couldn't do it. His stiff body, wide eyes, and white knuckles all proved that

relieved his nervousness.

Center back De Boer had to go out to intercept Kuyt, otherwise Kuyt would directly face goalkeeper Van der Sar.

Although the shooting angle is a problem, if the forward challenges the goalkeeper, if there is no interference from the defender, no matter how small the angle is, the forward has countless ways to send the ball into the goal. As for how Blind will deal with the two players grabbing points, De Boer has already taken care of it.

No matter what, there are only two people defending and the opponent's three attacking. What can he do? The best result is that he can intercept the opponent's pass, or the little guy with the ball directly hits the goal.

As soon as he saw De Boer come out, Kuyt passed the ball without hesitation before De Boer could get close to him.

Kuyt also wants to score goals in the battle, but he knows that if he is greedy for credit and fails to pass the ball to a teammate in a good position, what awaits him will definitely be severe punishment from Jiang Mu. He must obey Jiang Mu's arrangements. That is not only him.

The coach is still like his elders.

Now DeBoer can only take off hastily, hoping to hit the ball. But his altitude is too low, and the ball flies over his head!

"Wow!" All the fans in the stands stood up nervously.

"Altidore!"

Blind chose to mark Drogba among the two players who seemed to be doing the most damage. Kuyt naturally passed the ball to Altidore, who was unmarked.

With the shouts of Alkmaar fans.

Altidore aimed at the ball and did not need to take off. He just easily used his head to push the ball to the right side of the goal.

Now the only thing Ajax fans and players can count on is goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, who has moved to the left.

But Altidore was too close.

And Van der Sar is too far away from the trajectory of the ball. Even though his nickname is the Giraffe, he cannot seal all the space.

Van der Sar still tried his best. He reflexively took a step to the right, jumped sideways, waved his palm to block the ball, and stretched his body as much as possible, hoping to get closer to the ball.

But after all, Van der Sar has never practiced the Chinese arm-threading magic skill, which can extend his arm instantly. His palm froze at about three fingers away from the ball and could no longer move forward a millimeter.

Van der Sar's 1.97 meter body fell to the ground with a bang.

"goalgoalghoal...Altidore scored..."

The commentator's voice was instantly drowned out by the cheers of the Alkmaar people, and the entire Arenal Stadium turned into a festive celebration for the Alkmaar people.

At this moment, the game is going into the 40th minute.
