The Godfather of Football

Chapter 106 New Van Gaal?

"Ajax's attack was very fierce, this group of young people completely suppressed Barcelona in the attack!"

"It was still Ajax's right side, and it was still the right back Brazilian Maicon who advanced to the front court to assist."

"Maicon dribbled forward on the right, Sergi went to defend, Maicon slowed down, and it seemed that he was going to pass the ball..."

"Beautiful, Maicon made a fake move that seemed to be a cross, but actually passed the ball to Van der Vaart in the penalty area."

"Van der Vaart took the ball and broke through the bottom line, trying to get rid of the defender, Guardiola Always follow and see if Van der Vaart can use his speed to create opportunities! "

"Unfortunately, Guardiola is very experienced, Van der Vaart was blocked and could only pass back to his teammate Maicon outside."

"Maicon made a cross! ! ! "

"The ball hit Sergi who was defending, and Rezig headed the ball in the middle to clear it to the left!"

"Robben! ! Ajax's Robben came up from the left and shot directly with his left foot outside the penalty area!"

"Danger!!!"

"The ball hit Rezig's hand, is it a penalty?"

"The referee did not make a penalty, the ball fell to Ibrahimovic At the foot of Rahimovic, one-on-one with De Boer!"

"Turn around, beautiful, the Swede successfully turned around and volleyed the ball!"

"The ball went in!!!!"

"Ibrahimovic, Ibrahimovic, a hat trick!!!"

"This Swede scored his third goal of the game, and it was also his second goal less than ten minutes into the second half, helping Ajax lead Barcelona 3:1!"

"A very, very beautiful goal, which fully reflects Ibrahimovic's physical strength From the slow motion, we can easily see that Ibrahimovic easily knocked De Boer away with his body, and then he turned around nimbly and shot directly into the goal guarded by Reina! "

"In the 53rd minute of the second half, Ajax scored two goals in a row, 3:1!"

As the commentator said so many words almost in one breath, all the Ajax fans in the stadium waved their arms wildly to celebrate, 3:1, the team they supported completely suppressed Barcelona after the start of the second half.

In less than 10 minutes, two goals were scored in a row. Ajax's attack was very sharp and very impactful.

"We can see that Ajax is getting more and more confident now, whether it's Van der Vaart's breakthrough in the penalty area against Guardiola, or Maicon's assist on the right, or even Robben's long shot without hesitation after getting the ball on the left, all of which fully reflect the confidence and fighting spirit of this group of young players of Ajax."

"It was a very surprising second half. We originally thought that after the loss in the first half, Ajax's situation would become more difficult, but who could have thought that Ye Qiu's tactics in the second half became more active and more dominant. After the poor performance of Van der Meyde was replaced, Ajax's attack on the right became very active, planning one attack after another! "

"Zlatan Ibrahimovic, this young center forward who is only 19 years old and not yet 20 years old, not only has a firm foothold in Ajax, but also performed a hat trick in the UEFA Cup final. This game is bound to make him famous. He is really an incredible genius! "

The live TV screen kept replaying the two goals scored by Ajax just now, which can almost be said to be exactly the same.

That is to launch an attack from the right, and the left is the support, but Ibrahimovic in the middle completely suppressed the two central defenders of Barcelona. Whether in the air or on the ground, they had no way to deal with the tall and strong Ibrahimovic.

"This is also a long-standing problem in Barcelona's defense. They generally trust more flexible central defenders with certain technical skills, but such players are often short, just like Reiziger, who used to be a right-back, but now plays as a central defender in Barcelona."

"Short players have natural defects in controlling the area. This does not mean that short players are not top central defenders. Just like Cannavaro and Samuel, they performed very well, but that was based on their having a partner with sufficient height and strength. There are really not many teams like Barcelona that trust the combination of two short central defenders."

"In La Liga, Barcelona's defense line has been threatened by a group of high center forwards such as Morientes and **. Now they have encountered Ajax and Ibrahimovic, who is taller and more technical. The Swedish center is simply an amazing striker killer. With time, he will definitely have an amazing performance in the European arena."

While the commentator was analyzing, the game had resumed.

After the start of the second half, Barcelona had to accept a cruel reality, that is, Ajax once again used high defense and high-intensity pressure in the midfield and frontcourt to bring the situation of the game back to the state of the first 10 minutes of the first half, and this time Ajax was more determined and targeted.

In the second half, Ye Qiu's team did a good job of flying together on both wings. Robben on the left played more alone, while Van der Vaart and Maicon on the right cooperated, especially Maicon's back. Interrupted, very threatening, very stealthy, he played a key role in both goals.

When Ajax returned to the rhythm they were familiar with and liked, Barcelona's idea of ​​patiently controlling the ball was completely shattered. They could either maintain their slow pace and let Ajax Si is fast and slow, or is forced to follow Ajax's speed.

The former is dangerous because they are likely to be constantly pulled out of space and exploited, while the latter forces them to make more risky passes, such as long passes, which will shorten their possession time. Get less.

Ferrer is now very clear that he needs to make changes and adjustments, but he is not sure how to change or adjust.

The four defenders cannot move. This is the basis of Barcelona's defense. The double midfielders cannot move. The defensive midfield combination of Guardiola and Cocu is the source of stability in Barcelona's midfield. What about the frontcourt?

Kluivert performed very poorly. Apart from a few shots of failing to get the ball and complaining to his teammates, he had almost no impressive performance. However, Ye Qiu dared to take down Van der Me, who had no performance in midfield. Germany, does Ferrer dare to take down Kluivert?

There is also Rivaldo. The Brazilian always waits for the ball in front, does not participate in defense, and his performance is not good. Luis Enrique's performance in this game is not exciting enough. There is only one Overmars in the frontcourt. Relatively good.

When Ferrer was swept away in this round, he was depressed to find out, who could he replace?

No one is bigger than him!

And even if you change players, you still have to have a routine and ideas. How will you fight after the players are replaced?

There are not many players on the bench in Barcelona, ​​and there are almost no players who can change the game!

Are we counting on Simang and Cenden? Or Xavi and Iniesta? Or was it Herald?

Don't be stupid. Ye Qiu replaced Van der Meyde with Van der Vaart because he wanted to give up the impact style of play on the right and instead adopt the offensive routine of full-backs. For this reason, he sacrificed Keita and let Mali's midfielder return to Gil. Behind Berto Silva, he is sometimes more like a defensive midfielder.

But the effect of this adjustment was very obvious. In the second half, Ajax launched a series of attacks and scored two goals. Ferrer did not expect this and was caught off guard.

Thinking of this, Ferrer suddenly felt depressed, because even if he reverses Ajax now, I believe he will not escape the end of getting out of class, because that group of arrogant Ajax directors will never Allowing their team to be beaten so badly by an Eredivisie team that they were unable to fight back.

Especially that damn Lexach!

Looking to one side, Ferrell saw Ye Qiu sitting upright in the visiting team's coaching bench. Ferrell suddenly felt envious. Small teams have the advantages of small teams. Although coaching a wealthy team can make you famous and become famous overnight, you can't follow him. The worries and troubles that come, and even the intrigues and power disputes between the locker room and the management, are enough to make any head coach feel overwhelmed.

In this case, which head coach can concentrate on the game?

"After all, I still underestimated you!" Ferrell looked at Ye Qiu and said to himself with a wry smile.

The victory in the warm-up match at the beginning of the season made Ferrer, who was ambitious at the time and believed that he could lead Barcelona to a renaissance and achieve world-renowned results, not even paying attention to Ajax. At that time, Ferrer In his eyes, he only has top European clubs such as Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Manchester United.

A year later, Ferrer has lost his sharpness and edges. He no longer has the original ambition. Now everyone looks at him as if they are looking at a person who is about to leave. Some even No one listened to what he said in the locker room because everyone knew that he was leaving soon.

What an ironic comparison!

Just when Ferrer's heart was filled with sighs, confusion, and resentment that his talent was not appreciated, Ajax scored again!

Still attacking from the right, Maicon once again inserted himself into the frontcourt. After cooperating with Van der Vaart on the right, he couldn't find a chance and knocked across to Sneijder, who was unguarded in the midfield.

Sneijder has always been known for his solid skills, but this time, when facing Guardiola, he chose to dribble the ball by himself, diagonally 45 degrees from the right to the left, which immediately disrupted Barcelona. Guardiola and Cocu both came over to double-team him.

Sneijder looked confident, dribbling flexibly with his left and right feet, and passed the ball to the middle of Reiziger and Puyol before Guardiola and Cocu. Robben on the left quickly shook Puyol away. Joel got the ball first and then walked into the penalty area. Facing goalkeeper Reina, he calmly shot a low shot through Barcelona's goal, 4:1!

This goal completely destroyed Barcelona's fighting spirit, and also completely destroyed their will to equalize the score, or even reverse the situation, so that they had to accept defeat and reality!

After the goal, the Ajax players celebrated wildly on the sidelines, leading by 3 goals. They are now more confident than ever. This is because Sneijder dared to play with skills in front of Guardiola and Cocu. It can be seen how strong their confidence is at this moment.

Yes, I have never experienced a big battle, and I will never know how strong I am, how big the gap is between myself and the world's top players, and what kind of results I can achieve on the stage of world football.

This group of Ajax players has been completely activated!

They are young, they lack experience, and they are still on the road to improvement, but in the past season, they have completely proved one thing with their strength, that is, they can do whatever they want to do. matter!

Rome, Liverpool, Barcelona...

Every dazzling team has now become a loser who fell at the feet of Ajax.

After the team scored the fourth goal in the 64th minute, Ye Qiu immediately made substitutions. Right back Heitinga replaced Maicon, who performed well. This was a signal to strengthen defense.

This is also knowledgeable, because as the game progresses, the players' physical energy consumption becomes more and more serious. If they cannot make timely substitutions or adjust tactics, after the physical energy consumption reaches a certain level, Ajax will definitely Once again losing control of the rhythm and the game, by that time, if Barcelona wants to counterattack, their strength advantage will be very obvious, which will make Ajax very passive.

The third substitution was to replace Robben with Hleb. By the 72nd minute, the latter was obviously exhausted and could no longer run. Ye Qiu replaced Robben with Hleb and let the Belarusian take the responsibility. Attack from the left.

While making substitutions, Ajax's defense gradually returned to its normal position and no longer pressed forward. The reason is very simple, because as Ajax's physical energy is exhausted, the pressure and control of the midfield and frontcourt The strength will decline and it is too risky to rush forward hastily.

Moreover, now that Ajax has enough advantages, why take any more risks?

Barcelona tried to attack several times, especially with Overmars and Rivaldo on the left to cooperate, but Ajax also paid enough attention to this, repeatedly defusing their attacks and blocking them again and again. Barcelona threaten Ajax's goal.

As time passed, Barcelona's players began to become discouraged.

In the end, Barcelona seemed to have accepted this defeat. When Ajax went back and forth, they also lost interest in pressing, and each one was wandering on the court like a lonely ghost.

In the stands, Ajax fans are already ready to go. They are waiting for the moment when referee Colina blows the whistle of the end of the game. They will celebrate the team's victory in the league with loud cheers. Cup champion!

In the visiting team's coaching bench, Ajax staff, players on the bench, Robben and Van der Meyde, who were replaced by Ye Qiu, were already waiting on the sidelines, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle. , they will rush onto the court as soon as possible and celebrate this hard-won victory with all their teammates.

"It's hard for us to believe that it was Ye Qiu and his Ajax who won the absolute advantage in this game, because before the game, more people felt that Barcelona's overall strength was more dominant, but Ajax But Kes used their powerful impact and excellent fast-paced football to completely defeat Barcelona.”

"This is a very, very young team. There is not even a single big-name star in this team. This reminds us of the past. In the history of Ajax, there have been several similar teams. Similar teams, such as the Michels era and the Van Gaal era, have brought out an Ajax that is young, but full of vigor, full of strength, full of personality, and full of talented stars!”

"Before, I was not familiar with Ajax or understood it. I believe that many fans in front of the TV are like me and do not care about the Eredivisie. But I believe that from today on, we should You should pay attention to the Eredivisie, because there is a young team full of talents that is rising rapidly, and there is a group of football people who are full of desire for the future and hungry for the championship and are working hard!”

"Its name is Ajax!"

The live TV camera scanned a famous Ajax player and finally landed on Ye Qiu.

I believe that at this moment, when fans all over the world see Ye Qiu, their eyes will be completely different from before, because this time, he has an extra layer of halo above his head, the UEFA Cup champion!

This is a heavyweight championship trophy second only to the European Champions Cup. This is also the first Chinese footballer in history to stand on the top of the podium in Europe.

"This is the head coach of Ajax, Ye Qiu from China. He is only 26 years old, very, very young, but he has led a team full of attacking power. At this moment, in West In the Ajax fans’ stand at the Falun Stadium, many Ajax fans have raised slogans and banners in various ways to retain their head coach!”

"In his first season as coach of Ajax, Ye Qiu led the team to second place in the Eredivisie, the Dutch Cup, and the Cruyff Cup. Now, he has more championships in his window. A huge UEFA Cup title!”

"Perhaps, at this moment, Ajax's management should rethink and adjust some of the club's decisions, because letting such a head coach go will inevitably be a huge loss for Ajax, and we have every reason to expect that if he leaves Ajax, I believe that next season, we will have the possibility to see this magical and young Chinese head coach on the stage of the four major European leagues!"

As the commentator said this, the referee Collina finally blew the whistle to end the game.

At this moment, all the fans of Ajax cheered loudly, and all the staff and players rushed into the stadium, celebrating the second UEFA Cup in the history of their club!

And I believe that at this moment, all Ajax fans will have the same question in their minds.

In 1992, Van Gaal won the first UEFA Cup in the club's history for the first season of coaching Ajax. Nine years later, Ye Qiu also won another UEFA Cup for the club in the first season.

Will Ye Qiu be the new Van Gaal?
