The Godfather of Football

"How dare you come again?"

When Montero saw Van der Vaart, the Uruguayan central defender was grinning unbridled.

In his impression, this Dutch kid was very interesting. After being kicked by him, it seemed to leave a shadow in his heart. Almost every time he passed the ball behind his back, he couldn't help but look back, for fear that he would come from behind again. Kick him unexpectedly.

"How is it? Does your leg still hurt?" Montero walked to Van der Vaart's side and asked quietly.

Van der Vaart glared at Montero, so angry that he almost wanted to rush forward and kill the Uruguayan, telling him not to be so arrogant and complacent. But when he was annoyed, he looked to the sidelines and Ye Qiu was facing him. Make gestures to ask him to calm down and not get angry.

This is a common provocation tactic designed to make you angry and lose your cool and rationality.

"Just wait here to die!" Van der Vaart glared at Montero, turned around and ran away.

Montero Yile, you kid is still angry.

Just when he was stunned, Van der Vaart ran to the right, got a cross pass from Sneijder and knocked back, allowing Sneijder to break into the penalty area from the right side of the penalty area, and after getting the ball, he volleyed directly with one kick. .

The ball went straight to the goal like a cannonball, but Buffon also showed his strength as the world's number one goalkeeper, flying to save the ball, and Huntelaar who followed closely behind missed it in front of the goal, but Fela pulled the ball out. The ball blocked the baseline, corner kick.

Sneijder stood at the penalty spot, looked at his teammates in the penalty area, slowly raised his right hand, and quickly took a corner kick.

Lucio, who was at the front of the penalty area, overwhelmed all his opponents and his header hit, but instead of hitting the back, it hit the outside of the penalty area.

This surprised everyone at Juventus. They saw Yaya Toure stop the ball with his chest, lift up his right foot and launch a heavy shot. The ball passed through the gap in the crowd at a very fast speed. Like lightning.

Buffon stood in front of the goal and knelt down to hold the ball firmly. However, he felt very uncomfortable from the shot and fell to the ground. Apparently, he had been hit by Yaya Toure's shot. He felt very painful and did not get up for a long time. The team doctor also quickly entered the court, but soon Buffon stood up again.

Bianconeri fans throughout the Alpstadion were chanting for Buffon, believing that it was the Italian goalkeeper's outstanding performance that defused Ajax's attack. This also made Buffon wave towards him after kicking the ball. Fans in the stands saluted.

"The second half started with Ajax's attack and Juventus' solid defense. It doesn't seem to be much different from the first half. We don't know yet whether Ye Qiu and Lippi are facing each other separately. The team’s tactics have been adjusted, but we all know that if Ajax cannot break Juventus’ defense and Juventus allows Ajax to attack, both teams will be very dangerous.”

In a strong dialogue like the Champions League quarter-finals, tactics that are too passive will lead to destruction, and tactics that are too proactive will also lead to loopholes that should not exist. The key depends on how the head coach measures it.

But it was obvious that Ajax pressed high and adhered to their high defensive strategy.

The reason why Ye Qiu did this was because Juventus did not have enough counterattack speed. Trezeguet, Del Piero, Nedved and others were not fast players, which caused Ajax to press forward. As long as Juventus' midfield can be suppressed, risks can be controlled to the maximum extent.

Soon, after pressing forward, Ajax's offense once again penetrated the heart of Juventus.

After Robben used his speed to forcefully break through Camoranesi on the left, before Thuram, he changed his direction and dribbled the ball in the middle. After deceiving Ferrara, he passed through the gap, but Huntelaar was obviously surprised by the sudden change. The pass was not prepared enough and he missed the ball in the penalty area.

But soon, Robben suddenly turned inward from the left, passed Thuram, and kicked a cross to Yaya Toure. The latter stepped in and hurriedly shot a long shot. High again.

"For a while, our offense has looked fierce, but it's a bit chaotic!" Bobby Harms immediately saw the problem. He was too anxious. The players' mentality was too anxious.

Ye Qiu walked to the sidelines, made a gesture towards Van der Sar, and then made a bolder move towards Van der Vaart, making Maicon more active and Sneijder more flexible in his movements.

After Van der Sar saw the coach's gesture, he immediately shouted to Kifu who was holding the ball, "Give me the ball!"

Kivu immediately knocked the ball back, and Van der Sar stopped the ball firmly at his feet, but did not rush to send it forward immediately.

This slowness gave Juventus the opportunity to calmly arrange, but it also allowed Ajax to relax its tense mood, and the players began to retreat appropriately.

Van der Sar was dribbling the ball in the penalty area, not in a hurry, but patiently waiting for the opportunity.

As Ajax slowly retreated, Trezeguet on the Juventus forward was the first to run out and wanted to perform a symbolic press. Van der Sar immediately passed the ball to Luci. profound.

The Brazilian was forced to the defensive line by Ye Qiu in this game. His biggest task was to defend, but this time he saw the opportunity. After getting the ball, he turned around and rushed forward quickly. When he was about to meet Nedvěd, he broke through. The ball was given to Mascherano, but he shouted, "Come back!"

Mascherano certainly knew what Lucio meant by this, and he knocked the ball back as soon as he stopped the ball. At this time, Lucio had already rushed past Nedved, and the two formed a beautiful two-on-one breakthrough in the middle, and they were still rushing forward quickly. When he met Tudor, Lucio chose to dribble the ball diagonally to the right.

The Brazilian's dribbling speed was very fast, and Tudor could not keep up with him. As a last resort, Tacchinardi also came up to double-team.

At this time, Lucio made a straight pass, passing between Tacchinardi and Tudor. Sneijder ran quickly from the right, rubbed a half-high ball after receiving the ball, and went directly to Huntelaar at the front of the penalty area.

Huntelaar is 6 cm taller than Ferrara. Although he is not good at heading, after standing in position, relying on the advantage of height, Huntelaar does not need to jump at all. He directly blocks Ferrara with his body and rubs the ball into the penalty area.

Van der Vaart passed by him quickly, like a gust of wind. Montero followed closely, trying to stop him, and even secretly reached out to pull his jersey, but Van der Vaart blocked Montero with his arm, kicked first, and gently lifted the ball towards the landing point of Huntelaar's header.

The ball was lifted by Van der Vaart, and it passed Montero directly, and Van der Vaart himself also braked suddenly.

Montero, who was only concerned with pulling Van der Vaart's jersey before, had no time to brake suddenly. He rushed over directly and wanted to stop suddenly, but he couldn't stop his body and fell directly on the grass. After Van der Vaart stopped the ball, he kicked the ball to his left with his left foot, and he quickly followed, but his eyes were fixed on Buffon.

Left? Right? Middle?

Buffon's eyes were also fixed on Van der Vaart near the penalty spot, and his mind was constantly circling the choices that the Dutchman might make. But in the end, despite his quick judgment and sharp reaction, he still couldn't catch up with Van der Vaart's powerful shot, which went straight into the lower right corner of the goal, 1:1!

"Wow!!!! A very beautiful goal!!!!"

"Rafael van der Vaart, a young and talented rising star from the Netherlands!"

"In the 52nd minute of the second half, Ajax finally equalized the score. This was a team effort that opened a channel in the middle of Juventus. It was a very fast team effort. This was a typical Ajax-style goal. The whole process was almost smooth and neat!"

After scoring the goal, Van der Vaart excitedly raised his arms and looked at Montero who fell to the ground. He gently pulled the jersey on his body that was pulled by the opponent to reveal his shoulders. His eyes were full of disdain and sarcasm. "Don't pull so hard next time. If you tear it, you will be exposed!" After that, he turned and rushed out of the court.

This group of young players from Ajax were all crazy with joy. They rushed out of the court one after another and rushed to the sidelines, celebrating wildly and hugging each other in great excitement.

Ye Qiu was somewhat unexpected about such a goal, so he was very happy in his heart, and kept high-fiving the assistants around him to celebrate. Although this goal was not initiated from the wing, it was in line with his arrangement of attacking from behind. Lucio's decisive attack from behind did break the deadlock in the middle.

Looking at Juventus again, they were obviously a little flustered by this goal.

If the score is 1:1, Ajax is considered to have won. Because of the away goal, although the score is now tied, strictly speaking, Ajax has reversed, and they lost the ball when they thought Ajax was about to retreat, which is equivalent to a painful blow to them at a critical juncture.

Ye Qiu also saw through this and smiled at Bobby Hams, "It seems that God intends for us to continue attacking!"

Bobby Hams did not object. Momentum is very important. Juventus is a bit chaotic now, and Lippi did not expect to lose the ball. On the other hand, Ajax is in high momentum and should pursue the victory and continue to attack for a while.

…………

…………

After the restart, Ajax played very actively and pressed forward. With this momentum, they launched a new round of suppression and attack on Juventus. Although the threat was not as sharp as at the beginning of the first half, it still created a lot of opportunities.

Less than 7 minutes after the last goal, Ajax launched an attack from the right. Maicon inserted a 45-degree diagonal pass to the front of the penalty area to find Huntelaar. Ferrara headed the ball to Tudor. Juventus quickly counterattacked after stealing the ball. Tudor passed the ball directly to Nedved.

Yaya Toure followed Nedved from beginning to end in this game. Nedved finally had a great experience with the Ivorian's stickiness, because this guy is like a dog skin plaster, you can't get rid of it, he always sticks to you, making you have an impulse to collapse.

This time Nedved was retreating to receive Tudor's pass, but just as he was about to turn around, Yaya Toure rushed past him and easily snatched the ball from his feet, which made Nedved very angry and surprised.

Yaya Toure dribbled the ball very quickly. Although this black boy is tall and has long legs, his dribbling skills are very solid and his basic skills are strong. When he dribbled the ball forward with a big stride, he pretended to break through to the left, but in fact he passed Tudor from the right, deceiving the Croatian to lose his center of gravity.

After passing Tudor, Yaya Toure continued to rush forward, and Tacchinardi quickly rushed over to assist in defense. At this time, Yaya Toure did not stick to the ball any more, but passed the ball diagonally behind Tacchinardi.

Maicon, who had just attacked, appeared behind Tacchinardi. After receiving the ball, he accelerated and saw that Buffon was standing a little outside. He swung his right foot and kicked the ball directly about 28 meters away from the goal.

The whole process happened very quickly. At this time, Juventus's defense line had not retreated to its position, and Buffon also thought that the team was switching from defense to offense, so he stood a little outside, not shrinking like when defending. This caused Maicon's long shot to pass an arc and fall directly into the goal, and Buffon could only look up and watch the ball pass over his head.

"What aggreat goalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!"

After Maicon scored the goal, he rushed out of the stadium quickly, just like a 100-meter hurdle runner, crossed the fence on the track of the Alpi Stadium, rushed to the bottom of the stands, opened his arms, and knelt at the end of the track.

In the lower stands opposite him, a group of angry Juventus fans were roaring and cursing at him, and there were even some personal attacks and racial discrimination, but at this moment, Maicon didn't care.

He had missed several long-range shots, but after each long-range shot, he kept looking for the feeling.

At halftime, the team fell behind. He originally thought that Ye Qiu should limit his long-range shots and even prevent him from plugging in from behind, but he didn't expect that Ye Qiu would not limit his long-range shots, but encouraged him to shoot more and more boldly.

This time, Maicon did not hesitate at all. He was preparing for a long shot after stopping the ball. The step brought by the acceleration was to adjust, adjust his pace, adjust his rhythm, and then he shot the long shot that he felt best, and this shot did not disappoint him. As he expected, it passed Buffon and went straight into the bottom of the net.

When the Brazilian clenched his fist and shouted to the sky, the Ajax players also rushed out of the fence, surrounded Maicon one by one, and some even kissed Maicon's bald head, not even caring about sweat.

The live broadcast camera captured this scene of the crazy celebration of Ajax players. All the fans in front of the TV in the world saw the madness of this group of young guys after scoring a goal, and also saw their youthful and passionate publicity.

Yes, they are young, and there are all kinds of defects and deficiencies in youth, but it is precisely because of their youth that they never know how to be afraid, and they never give up hope for the future, the desire for victory, and the tireless pursuit of honor.

Juventus players do have more experience and know how to play this kind of knockout match, but they are not young anymore. Many of them have played in the professional league for many years and have won many honors. They have even lost their hunger and desire for the game.

Some people say that passion is the last thing needed in Italian football, because Italians pay more attention to reason and calmness, so they like to study tactics and study the system. This may be a good thing, but it may also be a bad thing.

…………

…………

Ye Qiu is not ignorant of stopping when he is ahead. In less than ten minutes, he scored two goals in a row. He immediately chose a more stable tactic, so Heitinga replaced Huntelaar.

The Dutch center did not perform very well after starting this game. Although he assisted Van der Vaart with a header and helped the team equalize the score, it was difficult to cover up his weakness in this Italian defense, which could not play his strength.

Huntelaar can never be the leader of the team if he cannot create opportunities on his own and cannot contribute to the team when there are no scoring opportunities. He can only rely on the pass from his teammates behind and beside him.

Ye Qiu believes that after this game, Huntelaar should have a clearer positioning of his strength and future.

After Heiting was added to play right back, Maicon was pushed to the right forward position by Ye Qiu, Sneijder came back to play central forward, Robben and Van der Vaart were looking for opportunities to attack and counterattack in front.

Now everyone understood that Ye Qiu also wanted to play defensive counterattack.

"Will Lippi press out to play?" The commentator on the scene was also full of doubts about this.

Obviously, Lippi can't not press out to play, because this is the Alpi Stadium. If he chooses to end the game at this point, the saliva of Juventus fans will definitely drown him, so he immediately made a substitution, replacing Tudor with Di Vaio, and the team immediately changed to a 3-forward tactic, with Nedved and Camoranesi active on both wings.

Things change, and Ye Qiu now simply shrinks three lines and steadily counterattacks, which makes the Juventus players so angry that they want to vomit blood.

Not to mention, when Ajax shrinks their defense, their defense immediately becomes very solid, especially with Yaya Toure, Mascherano, Sneijder and Maicon protecting the defense line, it is difficult for Juventus to launch an effective attack.

In a state of anxiety, Juventus' Montero knocked down Van der Vaart when defending Ajax's counterattack, but the referee refused to show a yellow card again, and only gave Montero a warning. Ajax was very dissatisfied with this because Van der Vaart was obviously about to form a single knife.

But there was no way, on the court, the referee had the final say.

The extra time was more than 5 minutes, which was a bit long, but it was finally over.

Ye Qiu was ready. When the whistle of the end of the game sounded, he was not polite and went directly to the home team coaching seat at the Alpi Stadium. Amid the overwhelming boos of tens of thousands of Juventus fans, he came to Lippi.

The latter was a little surprised and obviously didn't know what Ye Qiu was going to do.

He didn't do anything, just said annoying words with a humble smile on his face.

"Sorry, I'm the winner!"
