Coaching legend

What is the saying that a scholar cannot explain his reasoning to a soldier?

This is the case now.

Van der Vaart was the one who felt it the most. Hargreaves defended Van der Vaart in the defensive midfielder position, and he was more close to Van der Vaart. Although Hargreaves was also very decisive, he would only kick when there was a good opportunity.

Hargreaves is a sticky candy.

If he defends someone, he will follow him closely. You can't get rid of him.

Hargreaves uses this kind of defense to make any offensive player feel uncomfortable. As long as he identifies a person, unless it is a superstar like Zidane or Ronaldo. Or a genius like Ronaldinho later, he may not be afraid of Hargreaves.

But for ordinary offensive players, if they are entangled by Hargreaves, it will be really troublesome. Owen and Cassano have experienced this kind of defense by Hargreaves.

Fortunately, Ajax has several points in the frontcourt in this game. They support each other, so the cooperation is quite beautiful. Moreover, Van der Vaart is young now, and has a wild imagination. In addition, there are often people around to support him, so although Hargreaves defends, Van der Vaart's performance is still good.

Unfortunately, Essien is not a player like Hargreaves.

Essien is young now, only 20 years old. And I feel very depressed these days, and I can't find a target to vent.

Essien has many advantages as a defensive midfielder. There are two things that must be mentioned. One is his beast-like body. It is estimated that only Drogba in the entire Blackburn can surpass him. Even Campbell and Lucio, if they compete with physical fitness, may not be able to surpass Essien.

Another is decisiveness.

Essien plays football fiercely. As long as there is a 1% hope of the ball, Essien will go for it. Just like the footwork with Ibrahimovic just now, although there were some mistakes in the pass. But Ibrahimovic still has a greater chance of getting the ball.

But Essien did not give up. And he was not afraid at all, and he directly faced his opponent.

If it were any other player, he would not be so desperate. But Essien is different.

With a beast-like body and such desperate efforts, who can ignore Essien?

Van der Vaart is the most annoyed.

Because Essien is completely unreasonable. He doesn't give Van der Vaart any chance unless he passes the ball immediately. Otherwise, as long as he wants to pass him or hesitates a little, Essien will not give you any time to think.

He doesn't use his beast-like body to constantly collide with him, but directly kicks him.

Every time he is collided with Essien, Van der Vaart feels that his whole body is about to fall apart. And Essien, this beast, makes Van der Vaart's calf hurt every time he kicks.

Van der Vaart has already wanted to avoid Essien, but Essien seems to have seen him. As long as he gets the ball, he will kick it.

Van der Vaart is really a little afraid.

Fear of Essien, actually avoiding Essien. In this way, he cannot play his organizational ability. Van der Vaart is currently the strongest player in Ajax, and the most spiritual player in the midfield. Now that he has retreated, Ajax's offensive has stopped immediately.

George smiled at Van der Vaart unkindly.

Genius, George likes this kind of genius the most.

Let me hit you with a brick to see if you, a genius, are not afraid of anything.

In the European leagues, Ligue 1 and Eredivisie are leagues where geniuses gather. This is especially true in the Eredivisie.

If this was the case before, then in the first decade of the new century, many Eredivisie geniuses fell after reaching the four major European leagues. Let alone other things, there are few successful Eredivisie sharpshooters.

In addition to Van Nistelrooy, including the three-time Eredivisie striker Kezman, he later fell to play in Hong Kong. It can be said to be a tragedy in tragedy.

In addition to Kezman, there is the Liverpool model worker Kuyt. Kuyt is also a Eredivisie sharpshooter. He scored more than 20 goals in three consecutive seasons at Feyenoord. But what happened later? He became a model worker for Liverpool. There is no longer the feeling of scoring goals in the Eredivisie in the past. Of course, this is also related to Benítez's transformation of his position.

There was also the amazing Alfonso Alves, the striker who scored seven goals in one game. Later, with Middlesbrough's relegation, he eventually drifted to Qatar.

Only Huntelaar went through many giants. But all failed. It was not until the 2012 Bundesliga that he became the Bundesliga's top scorer. At this time, Huntelaar was already 29 years old.

Why are there so many geniuses falling?

The biggest reason is that the four major European leagues are paying more and more attention to defense and teamwork. Under this circumstance, only players who can adapt to defense and overall tactics can do better.

The geniuses cultivated by the Eredivisie have never experienced fierce defense.

Therefore, many players began to fall rapidly after arriving in the four major leagues.

This is the case with Van der Vaart now. In the Eredivisie, there is no midfielder like Essien, and Van der Vaart can fully exert his talent as he pleases. But today, facing a beast waist like Essien, Van der Vaart was afraid.

Or it can be said that Van der Vaart was unable to get used to it for a while, so he retreated.

Soon Essien completely dominated the middle with his performance. In the middle, Essien was running around, and he would run to anyone who dared to control the ball in the midfield. In the first ten minutes of the game, Essien was running around in the midfield, not feeling tired at all.

Martin Taylor looked at Essien and shook his head. "Essien, his physical fitness is great."

"George's team has many players with excellent physical fitness. People like Drogba, Essien, and Lucio are all very physical." Andy Gray also echoed Martin Taylor.

After Essien's chaos, although Ajax tried hard, the effect was average.

In the 27th minute of the game, Van der Vaart was hit from behind by Essien and was handed over to Van der Meyde on the right in a hurry. However, Hargreaves, who had been sticking close to Van der Meyde, took the lead and snatched the ball away. Then he passed it forward and handed it to Pires in front.

Pires was very calm when facing Trabelsi.

The moment Pires took the ball, he made a gesture of handing it to Kaká. Ajax has also seen Blackburn's recent games. Once they counterattack, the ball is more often handed to Kaká in the middle. Therefore, Trabelsi thought it would be handed over to Kaká and wanted to cut off the passing route.

But Pires moved his left foot outwards and broke through Trabelsi.

"...Pires, Pires broke through Trabelsi. Pires is very fast!"

In fact, Pires rarely makes quick attacks with such big strides. Pires mostly uses his skills to excel on the wing. But it doesn't mean that Pires is not fast. In fact, Pires' explosive power and dribbling speed are still quite fast.

Pires was completely unguarded on the wing. Dribbling the ball all the way into the penalty area.

This made Ajax's defense completely chaotic. Klose is in front and Miku is outflanking him from the right. Kaka followed up in the middle.

"Pires... passed the ball, and he passed it back to the center!"

Pires has been Blackburn's second goalscorer. Pires has scored more goals than Miku and Duff. Apart from Klose, Pires has scored the most goals. But Pires is not the kind of player who shoots when he reaches the penalty area. If there is no good opportunity, Pires rarely shoots.

Pires instead prefers to pass the ball.

"...Kaka, it's not...Miku, it's Miku! Shot! Miku's left foot shot!"

"Lobonte, failed to prevent the ball. The ball went in, Miku's shot! One to zero, Blackburn leads Ajax one to zero away from home."

Yes, that's Miku.

Miku was still entangled with Chivu on the right just now. When Pires passed the ball, he ran from the right to the center. Pires' passing spot was accurately found. Kaka shook De Jong in the middle, so there was no one to defend Miku when he shot.

Miku is right-footed. But it does not mean that his left foot skills are poor. Miku can still score goals with his left foot shot.

When Miku scored, all the Ajax fans at the Amsterdam Stadium burst into boos.

But George couldn't help but jump up. Then he waved his hand vigorously. This is definitely not George demonstrating to Ajax fans, but George is really excited.

Right, that is it.

Miku was previously the orchestrator of Blackburn's attack. The offense in the midfield and frontcourt all depends on Miku's command. But since George changed his tactics, Miku's role has been reduced a lot. But Miku quickly found a way to adapt to the new tactics.

Miku not only helps Kaka, but also uses passes to create more space for him to sprint. And now Miku is scoring more and more goals.

Because there are fewer threatening passes from Miku, and there are more and more shots from behind. Just like the ball just now, Miku went from the right to the center and shot very decisively.

When Miku saw the goal, he just raised his hands and hugged Kaka who came up. But there was no exaggerated celebration. For him, scoring goals in such a game is normal and easy, and there is no need to get too excited.

"One to zero. In the first game of Blackburn's group stage, they already defeated Roma three to zero. If this game is won again, then the first two away games will be wins. This group is only for teams other than Blackburn. The three teams are the group of death.”

Just before the boos from Ajax fans ended, Blackburn scored again. This time it was Klose who scored.

As soon as Ajax kicked off the ball, it was intercepted by Alonso in the middle. After Alonso stole the ball, he handed it to Miku in front. After Miku attracted Chivu, he handed it over to Sagnol who intervened. Klose received Sagnol's cross and scored the second goal of the game.

Ajax players were stunned.

Completely confused. They are all arrogant people, even when facing defending champion Blackburn Rovers. Now within three minutes, Blackburn had scored two goals, completely defeating them.

George looked at the geniuses of Ajax with a smile.

Genius, genius! Geniuses are not superstars after all.

They still have a long way to go to become superstars. Some of them will become talented, and some of them will perish.
