amazing coach

Chapter 159

Drogba and Van Bommel stood in front of the ball. According to the pre-match training, Jiang Mu and Jiang Mu coordinated the ball, shooting one after another, because the free kick on the penalty area line was very threatening, and the opponent would definitely discharge a long line.

It is unlikely that they will forcefully break through the wall. One shot at a time can disperse the opponent's wall, so that the next player who shoots will have a chance to break through the wall.

Van der Sar paid great attention to his opponent and formed a seven-man wall.[]

After the referee blew the whistle, Van Bommel started to run. Drogba stood in front of the ball. When he ran to the ball, Van Bommel made a fake shot, but he did not actually shoot, but shot from the ball.

Drogba, who had been standing in front of the ball, ran over and hit the goal directly.

There is not much newness in this coordination. It mainly depends on the coordination between running and shooting, as well as the shooting player's grasp of the timing.

Ajax players are experienced and very sensitive. When Van Bommel faked a shot, their wall briefly loosened and then closed up immediately. Drogba, on the other hand, is a relatively rough player and could seize this fleeting moment.

The chance of shooting was very unlikely, and he hit Oliseh on the shoulder.

Drogba's shot was powerful and heavy, which is his characteristic. Oliseh couldn't dodge it, and he didn't dare to dodge it. The ball originally went straight to the center, hit Oliseh's shoulder and then changed direction and flew towards the goal.

There is even a small arc on the left side.

Van der Sar had already made the first reaction, reaching out to hit the ball, because the initial direction of the ball was very close to him. After the ball was refracted, Van der Sar quickly made the second reaction, leaping up and making a side dive.

, I want to poke the ball out of the baseline with one hand.

But the small arc reflected by it cost Van der Sar his life. His hasty second reaction made Van der Sar ignore this arc. When he felt that his hand was about to touch the ball, the ball unexpectedly hit him.

It flew farther and farther away, avoiding his hand.

"broken!"

This was Van der Sar's last feeling, and then his ears were filled with applause and cheers like a roaring tsunami.

The ball went in!

Drogba's shooting skills were average, but luck defeated Van der Sar. The ball he shot deflected and flew into the blind corner of the net.

2:1

Alkmaar took the lead.

After the applause, loud singing rang out from the stands, praising their black star Drogba.

"Big black man, your shot is like lightning! Didier! Your goal is like a whip, hitting Ajax's heart. They howl in pain. This is the source of our happiness!"

The neat stomping of feet, rhythmic applause, and Alkmaar's singing suppressed all noise.

During the song, Drogba rushed to the corner kick area, held the corner flag like a soldier holding a steel gun, and gave a military salute to the fans.

"Goalgoal... Alkmaar overtook the score! Drogba's shot was blocked by Oliseh into his own goal. This was a lucky goal. Coupled with the first penalty goal, Alkmaar's two goals today

Neither goal is so typical. In the first 20 minutes, their performance in open battles was not good and they created fewer opportunities than Ajax. In the last 20 minutes, Alkmaar's performance was much better, but the two

Scoring goals is not a reflection of strength, but better luck. If we want to ensure victory, we must perform better in the second half of the game."

The on-site commentator was not satisfied with Alkmaar's two goals, because Alkmaar did not show stronger fighting spirit and higher skills and tactics today.

However, guest commentator Maher disagreed. He said: "Maybe Alkmaar's players have not completely woken up from their vacation, and from a technical and tactical point of view, no famous coach will be defeated in two consecutive games.

The opponent leads the way. Olson, like most Nordic coaches, is tough yet flexible. He is a smart coach. How could he lose completely this time? If it weren't for bad luck, this game

The two teams should be evenly matched."

On the sidelines, Jiang Mu showed a smile that he had not seen for a long time, reflecting the goal better. This shows that his fate is harder than Olsen. Losing to luck will make the Ajax people even more angry and desperate. Now he can almost see Olsen.

Wilson's departure at the end of the season.

Jiang Mu's judgment was correct. After Alkmaar scored the go-ahead goal, the Ajax players became somewhat mentally unbalanced. Olsen had not yet issued any orders. Ajax boss Blind

, Li Manterning led his teammates to rush forward and launched a fierce attack on the opponent, hoping to use the last moment to equalize the score again.

The average age of Ajax is seven years older than Alkmaar, but psychologically, they seem to be more fragile than Alkmaar. After losing this goal, everyone including Litmanning and Laudrup

He lost his mind and launched a desperate attack, not even caring about the defense.

After Alkmaar lost Altidore, the quality of their offense was greatly reduced and their offensive power was insufficient. At this time, they were very good at defensive counterattacks. They continued to exploit the loopholes in Ajax's defense to carry out attacks. Thomason came

After arriving in the middle, he posed a great threat to the veteran Blind. Thomason is fast and quick to react. He is a point-grabbing forward. He always roams beside Blind. Blind must maintain a high degree of concentration.

Only by being nervous can one guard against this opportunist.

The main body of Olsen's team is still the foundation laid by Van Gaal. He cannot completely change it. The team emphasizes ball control tactics. Most of the Ajax players have a strong desire and ability to control the ball. They can

Pressure the opponent in the opponent's half for a long time.

On the back line, Tobiasson on the right is both offensive and defensive and extremely capable. Milchiot on the left is also a first-class defender in the Eredivisie. In a 4-back system, the two men's wing assists are a surprise in the frontcourt.

, center back De Boer could go forward and pass long balls. At that time, the defense and offense were unparalleled. A coach with a lower level could completely dominate the Eredivisie.

But now they have switched to a three-back system. Although the offense is pretty good, with the departure of De Boer and the aging of Blind, the quality of defense has greatly declined. They are now sacrificing defense to strengthen offense.

In the 40th minute of the game, Alkmaar's full-back Kronkamp bravely grabbed Dani in the backcourt, avoided Dani's tackle with a pull, and then drove the ball along the wing at high speed and hit Van Bommel in the middle.

After a two-on-one, Kronkamp directly dribbled the ball to Ajax's baseline pass.

Thomasson and Klose in the middle competed for a header. Under the interference of Blind and Witzger, Klose's header was lifted over the crossbar by Van der Sar's hands.

Van Bommel took a corner kick, and the ball drew a fast arc and flew into the penalty area. The brave Van der Sar, with the power of a god descending from the earth, struck decisively and hit the ball out of the penalty area with both fists.

Center back Ismail rushed through the center circle and pushed the ball into the penalty area again. There was chaos in the penalty area. Finally, the ball was knocked out of the baseline in the chaos. The referee awarded a goal kick. Although Alkmaar protested, it was not

Not too much entanglement.

Van der Sar kicked the ball out, and the ball was pushed out by Ismail again. At this time, Ismail gradually adapted to the rhythm of the Eredivisie, showing his ability to dominate the air.

Relying on their advantage in midfield control, Ajax launched wave after wave of attacks against Alkmaar, but Alkmaar's defense, protected by the two midfielders, performed very steadily.

The lead of the ball also made the players very confident and calm, and their performance even exceeded the level in training.

However, the forward's luck seemed to have run out in the front. In the 45th minute of the game, Alkmaar launched an attack. Van Bommel destroyed it with his big foot and the ball flew towards the area of ​​Ajax right back Tobiasson.

Facing the hot pursuit of model worker Kuyt behind him, Tobiasson was too big and did not handle the ball cleanly. Kuyt suddenly accelerated and forced overtaking to steal the ball.

Kuyt dribbled the ball and cut inside. Babangida hurriedly stepped forward to block it. Tobiasson was also chasing. Kuyt made a pass with the outside instep of his right foot. The ball passed from Babangida to Tobiassen.

Passing through the forest.

The arc of this pass was very wide and flew behind Thomasson in the middle. Thomasson, who was quickly outflanking, had to brake urgently.

It's hard to tell whether Kuyt handled it like this intentionally or unintentionally. Kuyt had had such a ball in the same position before. He passed the ball in front of Thomasson with his left foot and was cleared by Blind, who had already taken precautions.

This time the pass was passed behind Thomason, but it avoided Blind's immediate destruction. However, after Thomasson retreated, he stopped the ball with his left foot and turned his back to the goal.

What will Thomason do with the ball?

At this time, because Alkmaar launched a sudden attack, not many troops were invested in the frontcourt, and Thomason had no companions in front of him or behind him.

It seemed that Thomason had to do what all right-footed players do, first move his right foot horizontally, pull out the angle, and then shoot. The experienced Blind thought so, so he shifted his body weight to the left, trying to block Thomason.

Sen's shooting angle.

But Thomason was very spiritual during this period, otherwise he would not be called "an opportunist even more Inzaghi than Inzaghi." At this moment, Thomason suddenly stamped his right foot and turned in the opposite direction.

The ball slid close to Blind's right foot. The 37-year-old Blind's reaction speed was obviously not as fast as Thomason. At this moment, he had no time to adjust his center of gravity and had to watch Thomason pass from his body.

Moved forward.

Now Thomasson can directly face Van der Sar. If this goal is scored, it will definitely be a work of genius and have a chance to win the best goal of the season.

The Ajax fans in the stands were desperate, and the Alkmaar fans stretched their necks waiting for this goal.

But Thomason is not a world-class forward like Ronaldo and Henry Ruud after all. His pull in the opposite direction was a little stronger, and the ball was a little farther away from his body.

At this time, the talented goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar had already attacked at high speed, and faced the danger of being kicked in the face by Thomasson and saved the ball from the penalty area.

Thomason missed the best opportunity and stopped being a bad guy. He put his feet back and jumped up, passed over Van der Sar, and regretfully knelt in front of the door, slapping his hands on the ground, hating that his move was so stupid.

This was the best counterattack in the first half of stoppage time, and it was also the last counterattack. Soon the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, and the players from both sides returned to the locker room to rest for 15 minutes before starting the second half.
