The Godfather of Football

The Young Guards ended the Bayern dynasty!

The German football player left an impressive blood-red font on the title of the second day, which was somewhat shocking.

"Bayern Munich did not pose much threat to Ajax tactically in the first half. The Dutch youth team skillfully used high defense and pressure after the opening to dominate the rhythm of the game. They used their young, fast and impactful football style to completely drag the aging Bayern Munich into hell."

"Effenberg could not keep up with Ajax's rhythm throughout the first half. Not only that, Ajax's two goals were impressive, especially the two tall players in this team, Ibrahimovic, the center forward from Sweden, and Lucio, the high center back from Brazil, both of which were eye-catching."

"This is a very strange team. We can't imagine that such a huge center forward has delicate skills that are not inferior to those of small players. We can't imagine that a central defender dares to directly press into the opponent's penalty area to grab a header and score, but all of these happened to this Ajax team."

"The young head coach Ye Qiu from China dominated the first half of the game. His team had enough rest. ”

“Hitzfeld is a great head coach. The continuous substitutions during the halftime break changed the situation of the game. Salihamidzic once again played the role of Bayern Munich's offensive booster. His appearance gave Bayern's offense wings, and Pizarro's appearance sharpened Bayern Munich's offensive spear. ”

“It is difficult for us to guess what kind of ideas and strategies Ye Qiu and Hitzfeld had before the game, but we can finally come to the conclusion that Ye Qiu won and Hitzfeld lost!”

“The trophy of winning is to let Ye Qiu and his Ajax let fans all over the world know them again, and the price of Hitzfeld's loss is the end of the Bayern dynasty and his precarious position as a coach.”

This season, Hitzfeld's position as a coach in Bayern Munich is not solid. Beckenbauer has objections to some of the iron-blooded coach's practices, especially in the introduction of players. This is no secret.

The biggest contradiction is the issue of Sforza. This former favorite player who Hitzfeld strongly advocated to introduce has always been excluded from the main lineup by Hitzfeld after coming to Bayern Munich from Kaiserslautern. This has become a contradiction between Hitzfeld and the management.

There is also the issue of strengthening the defense line. Hitzfeld wanted to introduce players in the midfield and frontcourt during the winter break, but Bayern Munich felt that the defense should be strengthened, and one of the disputes was Lucio.

The Brazilian central defender performed well and was appreciated by Beckenbauer and other management, but Hitzfeld believed that the Brazilian central defender had too strong a desire to attack. Once he joined Bayern, it would only bring greater hidden dangers to Bayern's already weak defense.

The previous inquiry about Ye Qiu at the FIFA awards ceremony was just a compromise made by Hitzfeld to the management, but after Ajax showed an unyielding attitude, Bayern Munich gave up the idea.

But in this game, Lucio's outstanding offensive ability and solid defense will surely make Bayern and Hitzfeld recognize the strength of this Brazilian central defender.

At least Bild used [Ajax's Matthäus] to describe Lucio's outstanding performance in this game in its own section. They believe that in this high-level competition, two giants determined the trend of the game, namely Ajax's Lucio and Ibrahimovic.

But Bild also pointed out at the end of the report, "After Bayern Munich launched a fierce attack in the second half, Ajax was obviously a little overwhelmed physically, especially as time went on, this sign became more and more obvious, which allowed Bayern to press forward and attack wildly!"

"In the 67th minute of the second half, Robben's sharp counterattack caused Kahn to attack and almost broke through Bayern Munich's goal. It looked more like an accidental incident, and it was also worth Ye Qiu's deep thought, that is, his team obviously had some problems."

"Young players are always inexperienced and always want to use up all their strength in the shortest time, and Ajax's impactful The style of play is very threatening, but it cannot last long. "

"But we cannot deny that Ye Qiu and Ajax have become the biggest highlight in the European arena this season. This Dutch team, which won the UEFA Cup last year, has become a breath of fresh air in the Champions League this season, allowing us to see the revival and re-emergence of passionate Dutch football. "

"However, this team has both obvious advantages and disadvantages. Ajax has always had a problem of starting strong but ending weak. We have every reason to believe that if Ye Qiu can solve this problem well, Ajax will be more competitive in the European arena. "

The Bild's remarks were polite words, and the implication was that if this problem could not be corrected, Ajax would have no chance of winning the Champions League.

Compared to the comments of the German media, the Dutch media gave unanimous praise to Ajax's performance.

The Amsterdam Evening Post used [Dignity] as its front-page headline.

In this comment, they highly praised the great progress Ye Qiu has made in coaching Ajax in the past two years.

"Since passing the peak of Louis van Gaal, Ajax has become the fastest fallen Champions League champion. The impact of the Bosman Act has completely turned Ajax into a player training factory for other giant teams. We once Once again we watched our players leave Detok Most, and again and again we witnessed the players we trained wearing the jerseys of other teams and knocking our beloved team out of the European competition.”

"The past few years have been full of darkness and fear for Ajax, but after Ye Qiu took charge of Ajax, he brought us light and courage. He used game after game to ignite He brought the fire that was still extinguished in the hearts of all Ajax people and rekindled the passion in all of us.”

"We have suffered enough humiliation in the European arena. Now, we must find our dignity in the Champions League. Use our feet and our performance to win back the dignity that belongs to us Ajax. !”

Schulde Mosso of the Kyodo Daily News is already an old friend of Ye Qiu. He personally wrote a review, saying that Van Praag made a very wise decision that summer two years ago.

"Today, no one will doubt Ye Qiu's coaching ability. He has proven his strength and level time and time again with his performance on the football field. He deserves the trust and support given to him by the club, and he deserves it too." Thanks to the respect given to him by the players and the fans, he has won the recognition and appreciation of the city of Amsterdam.”

"We should be proud that Ye Qiu and his team can hold their heads high and qualify first in the group, but we should not be blindly arrogant because of this. We should see that in this game with Bayern Munich In the game, we were almost equalized by our opponents, and even suffered a tragic reversal.”

"I think the victory in this game should be the victory of Ye Qiu's adventurous spirit. He defeated Heathfield in a bet, but such a victory itself is not very convincing, because there is a certain degree of uncertainty in it. The element of luck.”

"We need to clearly understand the current situation of the team. Ajax is still unable to keep pace with top European teams such as Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester United in terms of strength. Not only that, the team has shown an anticlimactic performance since the group stage. The shortcomings have never been well resolved.”

"There are shortcomings and shortcomings, which is a good thing. It means that this Ajax team still has a lot of room for improvement."

"I still remember that in an interview with Ye Qiu not long ago, he said to me that the best Ajax is far from coming, but what will the best Ajax look like? , He doesn’t know when it will appear.”

"I am also an explorer. I am crossing the river by feeling the stones, so I will try various directions and various methods. I may fail and may have to pay a heavy price, but I believe that only In this way, we can find ways to make ourselves and the team stronger, and we can usher in the strongest Ajax!”

"These are Ye Qiu's very sincere words. I am very happy to see that this old friend has always maintained a calm and rational attitude. We also wish him and his Ajax to continue to bring us more Good football!”

Schulde Mosso's comments were reprinted by many newspapers, but many media also expressed concerns that as Ajax performs better and better in the Champions League, whether the team will There is still enough strength to retain this group of stars in the team. This is a problem.

Both Van Praag and Ye Qiu have shown absolute confidence in this on different occasions, saying that Ajax will do their best to ensure the stability of the team's lineup and the team's combat effectiveness.

…………

In the 28th round of the Eredivisie, Ajax challenged Vitesse away.

Ronald Koeman's team expected that Ajax had just gone through a tough battle with Bayern Munich in the Champions League, so they waited for work at the Gelredome Stadium and prepared to face the tired team. Ajax.

In this head-to-head battle, Ajax and Vitesse fought very hard. Although Ajax's semi-substitute lineup performed very hard in this game, including Van der Meyde and Hleb, etc. The players all showed a strong desire to win, but in the end Ajax lost 1:3 away from home.

This is also Ajax's worst loss so far this season, conceding three goals. This is a very rare defeat for Ye Qiu, who always pays attention to the balance of offense and defense.

The central defender combination of Kolo Toure and Lucio performed sluggishly in the game and made many mistakes. The only bright spot for Ajax was the offensive cooperation between Hleb and Van der Meyde, but they were unable to save it. team.

Ajax suffered a disastrous away defeat, while PSV defeated Heerenveen 4:1 at home, successfully shortening the points deficit to 2 points. Moreover, PSV was eliminated from the UEFA Cup. Gretz's team So far, only the Eredivisie and the Dutch Cup are up for grabs, so Gretz has almost sunk everything and put all his energy into the league.

"I said, Ajax will definitely make mistakes. Our opportunity has come. Now is the time for us to launch a sprint for the championship!" Gretz took the initiative to ignite the war with Ajax and declared this Dutch war. The battle for the Ajax championship has become intense, and many Dutch media have joined the war, accusing Ye Qiu and Ajax of poor performance.

Ye Qiu did not blame the players for the loss, but took the initiative, but he refused to admit that he had made a mistake.

"In the last game we qualified from the Champions League as first in the group, you praised us very much, but just a few days later, you criticized us because of a defeat. I think this is very harmful to me and my team. It’s all very unfair, because we are not your playthings.”

"Anyone who wants to comment on the gains and losses of a team and a head coach should do so after a season. At least we still have a 2-point lead in the Eredivisie. Did we lose? PSV reversed course. Is it okay? Why does losing a game feel like the end of the world?”

Faced with Ye Qiu's question, many reporters were speechless, because when they wrote the title, they all wanted to catch the readers' attention at the first moment, so they wrote whatever was shocking, without considering the consequences.

"But, Mr. Ye Qiu, when Ajax suffered such a disastrous defeat at this time, don't you admit that the team's combat effectiveness was indeed weakened due to two-front operations? Can you guarantee that Ajax Will Jax make the same mistake again and lose points?”

A middle-aged reporter stood up and asked a lot of questions in one breath, "Please remember, Mr. Ye Qiu, your team is only ahead of PSV by 2 points, not 20 points!" , and he sat down.

Ye Qiu stared at the reporter. He felt that he was being provoked. "Mr. reporter, I don't think I need your reminder, because I know the situation better than you. For me, I am 2 ahead of Eindhoven." Points, that’s enough, I’m going to win the Eredivisie title this season!”

Seeing that the reporter stood up again and wanted to say something, Ye Qiu didn't give him a chance to continue and said into the microphone: "You don't need to ask me why, just because I have this confidence, I believe in me The players are equally confident. Please tell Gretz that it was me who said it.”

"Go and fight for your runner-up spot!"

After saying that, Ye Qiu stood up, obviously wanting to end the press conference early.

The reporter from Eindhoven was behind him and roared angrily at his back, "That's so arrogant. Take a look. This incompetent Chinese is really too arrogant and arrogant. He is so arrogant." Who do you think you are?"

Many reporters close to Eindhoven at the scene criticized Ye Qiu and said that they must publish these words in the newspaper so that all fans can see clearly this guy's arrogant face, and hope that Ye Qiu will As Hoven reverses Ajax, it's best to slap the Chinese in the face.

But after a week of rest, Ajax regrouped and defeated Groningen 4-0 at the Arena Stadium, while PSV played in a very embarrassing away game against Den Bosch. In the end, with the help of Heise Link's goal narrowly defeated Den Bosch, a team that had been relegated early.

At this time, the draw for the Champions League quarter-finals was also successfully announced in Nyon.

The eight teams that have entered the Champions League are Ajax, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen, who are first in the group, Manchester United, Roma, Panathinaikos and Deportivo, who are second in the group. According to the draw rules, the same group avoids, and the first place in the group will face the second place in the group.

This time Ajax drew a good draw, an excellent draw, because Ye Qiu's team drew Panathinaikos of Greece, and Real Madrid, also in the top half, drew Roma. These two The winners of this matchup will meet in the semifinals.

Liverpool and Leverkusen, Deportivo La Coruna and Manchester United are both in the bottom half.

Ye Qiu was very satisfied with the result of the draw. Even when he met Real Madrid in the semi-finals, he felt that it was impeccable.

In the middle of the week, Ajax went to Greece to challenge Panathinaikos away from home. Ye Qiu’s team carried the banner of offensive football even in the away game. With the help of Van der Vaart and Ibrahimovic in the first half, Qi's goal defeated Panathinaikos 2:0 away from home and successfully put half of his foot in the semi-finals.

Over the weekend, Ajax challenged PSV Eindhoven away from home, and the result was a 1:1 draw at the Philips Stadium.

Gretz's slogan before the game that he would reverse Ajax at the Philips Stadium was completely shattered. The two teams still maintained a 2-point gap, and the media close to Eindhoven believed that Eindhoven was still If you have the chance, I believe you will be able to create miracles.

Three days later, Ye Qiu used a half-main and half-substitute lineup to face Panathinaikos at the Arena, and finally defeated the Greek opponent 3:1, successfully stepping on the corpse of the Greek powerhouse with a total score of 5:1. semi-finals.

In another game, Real Madrid finally defeated Capello's Roma with a total score of 3:1 over two rounds and successfully advanced to the semi-finals. They will compete with Ajax for one of the places in the final.

Returning to the Eredivisie, Ajax immediately showed strong offensive power and defeated Sparta Rotterdam 4:0 away from home, pushing the Rotterdam team directly into the relegation zone.

And three days later, in the Dutch Cup semi-finals, Ajax defeated PSV Eindhoven 3:0 at home.

Gretz's team had just fought a bloody battle with Feyenoord, which had lost hope of winning the championship, at the Philips Stadium. The players were exhausted physically and mentally. Although Gretz also attached great importance to the Dutch Cup, he could not withstand the fierce Ajax. In the end, it was Ajax and Utrecht that made it to the finals.

This immediately made the whole of Amsterdam completely crazy, because Ajax was making progress on three fronts this season. The Dutch League took the initiative to win the championship, the Dutch Cup reached the final, and the Champions League also reached the semi-finals. If these three fronts can hold on to the end, then Ye Qiu will lead the team to reproduce the triple crown hegemony of Ajax during the Michels period in 1972!

For a time, the whole city was in a frenzy.
