Football on the ground: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

"Ajax's midfield is unsolvable!"

This is the final summary given by the Sporting Lisbon technical team.

You know, this is the conclusion given by a club's first-team technical team to a U15 echelon midfielder.

This is outrageous.

After the tactics class ended, Deng Kai stayed in the classroom and did not leave.

"Kay, do you have anything else to do? We will have a discussion about the content of the first team later. We have to see if Quaresma is capable of taking over Simao's position..." Triguera did not regard Deng Kai as a human being. Um...be an outsider.

What this sentence basically means is that Simang will definitely transfer after the season, and his next home has already been found.

And Quaresma will become the next Simao, participate in the Portuguese Super League early, and become the next star of tomorrow in world football.

"I have a few questions about Ajax," Deng Kai said.

Trigla nodded and signaled Deng Kai to ask.

"If we adopt the method of marking and double-teaming, can we completely restrict Van der Vaart?" Deng Kai asked.

The video analyst next to him gave the answer directly: "This is difficult. Van der Vaart's talent is so good. His dribbling and ball control are so smart that he can't be guarded."

"If you really plan to mark and double-team, I suggest you target Sneijder. Although he is also very good, in terms of dribbling talent, he is much inferior to Van der Vaart."

"Focus the offensive line on the center. The team's center will often drop back and pull, and other forwards will often go to the center to run and attack repeatedly. This will put huge pressure on Ajax's center and backcourt."

"Forcing Sneijder to retreat from the midfield position to the defensive midfielder position to assist the team's defense. This allows your frontcourt to only face Van der Vaart, but the cost is that our forwards are almost non-existent in this impact mode. Possibility of scoring.”

"Even if your passing is excellent, there are too few paths left for you to pass forward, and it is too easy to be destroyed. What's more, you have to defend appropriately to limit Van der Vaart's attack."

It is not difficult to understand. A three-way attack has become a one-way attack, and there are naturally fewer opportunities.

This is sacrificing offense to contain Sneijder.

Deng Kai thought for a while and agreed with the plan proposed by the other party.

But he didn't think the other party's idea was correct.

It's not that the other side thinks highly of Van der Vaart.

Van der Vaart is indeed a player who cannot be defended, especially when he is in the attacking midfielder position.

Deng Kai said that the video analyst's thinking was wrong because the opponent thought that forcing Sneijder into the midfielder position would be enough to solve Sneijder.

But in fact... Sneijder is almost an undefendable player. Even in the midfielder position, his sharp long-pass dispatch can still bring huge help to the team.

If we say the duel with Van Persie and Robben is an experience for Ronaldo.

So the duel with Van der Vaart and Sneijder is Deng Kai's experience.

This is a necessary step for him to become a midfield master.

Deng Kai then left the classroom and found his teammates at the training ground.

Indicates that we need to rehearse new tactics.

Teammates are used to this.

Different team leaders have different leadership habits.

Some leaders like to have others buy hamburgers and drinks for them, and carry bags and shoes for them.

Some leaders like to enjoy privileged treatment on the court and like that no one dares to really defend them even in training games.

Deng Kai, the team leader, likes to organize everyone to "play" with him and study various "not illegal but sick" tactics.

For example, when fighting for a free kick, a group of people gather together, and then suddenly disperse... The goddess scatters flowers.

For example, everyone squeezed into a pigworm and then suddenly spread out...the pigworm exploded.

For example, when taking a free kick, he will stick to the ground and so on.

This kind of training that is useless for basic skills is regarded by coaches as a waste of time. From the perspective of training players, these behaviors will not produce positive results.

But for Deng Kai's sake, Maxa won't stop everyone, saying that it can expand the players' thinking.

"Cristiano Ronaldo, Lorenzo, Marcelino, you all try to sprint repeatedly in the center area...continuously retreat to support...yes..."

"Veloso, you find the player with the best dribbling and turning in the team to practice one-on-one defense. You mainly use your physical advantages to suppress the ball. If you can steal the ball, you can knock people down if you can't steal the ball... and Wei

Loso's training brothers have to work harder. I have a football signed by Zidane..."

On the football collectibles market in Lisbon, footballs signed by Zidane, Ronaldo and Ferguson have recently appeared one after another.

Ronaldo suspected that this was related to Deng Kai's attendance at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony at the end of last year, and found evidence in a warehouse in the Chinese community.

There are at least dozens of different signed footballs there, of course, the Guardiola ones are the most unsaleable and they don’t even get plastic packaging!

…

The time finally came to April 20th.

At the Amsterdam Arena, the UEFA Youth League semi-finals are about to begin.

The Dutch were lucky enough to get the home draw.

Construction of this stadium began in 1993, costing 140 million euros. It was completed two years ago and has more than 50,000 seats.

In the future, on April 25, 2017, Cruyff's 70th birthday, the Amsterdam Arena will be renamed the Johan Cruyff Arena to commemorate this legendary superstar.

Since Ajax lost hope of competing for the title early in the league this season, fans had to shift their interest to the Dutch Cup and youth competition-Youth Champions League!

Youth competitions are not enough to attract fans, but who made this the first time in the history of European football that the Youth Champions League appears?

Prior to this, youth team games were mostly used for training and testing training effects, and such huge European-wide competition for honors rarely occurred.

Therefore, the entire Amsterdam Arena was packed with seats.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fifty thousand spectators sang the Ajax team song and cheered for the young players.

When the players from both sides entered the stadium, the fans shouted enthusiastically for the players' names in the stands. The loudest one was Van der Vaart, followed by Sneijder.

Ajax U15 used their regular formation in this game, 4231.

Sneijder serves as the right midfielder, and Van der Vaart serves as the team's attacking midfielder.

This is almost what Deng Kai predicted before the game.

After all, it is the semi-finals, and the opponent's head coach will probably not do anything. After all, there is only one Guardiola.

And this is also Sporting Lisbon's opportunity.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially started.

In almost the first five minutes, after a series of battles, the players from both sides clarified each other's strength and positioning.

Excluding Ronaldo, Deng Kai, Van der Vaart, Sneijder and other team stars, the abilities of the other players can only be considered normal.

Normal refers to a level that is quite outstanding among peers, not ordinary.

But normally there are also levels.

Ajax's normal players have a significantly higher competitive level than Sporting Lisbon's normal players.

They have almost hit the "mortal ceiling."

This also proves that the level of Ajax's youth training is much higher than that of Sporting Lisbon.

In a sense, they are even the number one youth training base in the world!

So in the subsequent games, Ajax was naturally stronger and took the initiative.

Sporting Lisbon fell into passive defense.

In the sixth minute, Van der Vaart put on a dribbling show in the middle.

Fried meatballs, Marseille pirouettes, emergency stops and starts, shooting and pulling the ball, threading the needle in the siege of three players, but not losing the ball.

In the end, Semedo was forced to knock him down before interrupting the performance.

The referee blows the whistle.

Free kick.

Twenty seconds later, celebrations erupted from the Amsterdam Arena.

Van der Vaart scored directly from a free kick!

I told Semedo, you can use fouls to stop me from moving forward, but you can't stop me from scoring goals!

One to zero!

Ajax takes the lead!

As mentioned before, playing against talented players is the only way for Deng Kai to become a midfield master.

But some people are born to be masters!
