The Godfather of Football

There is a saying that is very right: there is no first in literature and no second in military power.

In Dutch football, the rivalry between Ajax and Feyenoord is always the focus of all fans.

As the two teams that have won the most championships in the Eredivisie, the game between Ajax and Feyenoord is known as a classic battle. Many fans also call it the Dutch Derby, one of the most popular matches in Dutch football. A biannual event.

The grievances between the two clubs mostly come from the two cities.

As the largest and second largest cities in the Netherlands, there has always been fierce competition between Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands and is the economic, financial and cultural center, while Rotterdam is the largest port in the Netherlands and has always been known as the gateway to Europe. This makes The two cities are not convinced of each other, somewhat similar to the relationship between Madrid and Barcelona in Spain.

With such an urban background, and the fact that Ajax and Feyenoord are both the most successful teams in the Eredivisie, it has naturally resulted in fans of the two teams hating each other. , they attacked each other, and the outside media took the opportunity to exaggerate, saying that the game between the two teams was a contest between Amsterdam, which represents art and creativity, and Rotterdam, which represents hard work and courage.

Over time, fans of both teams regarded each other as their mortal enemies. Whenever they played each other, they often attacked each other and even caused a lot of troubles. Just like in Amsterdam in 1997, Ajax After a 3-0 victory over Feyenoord, fans from both sides clashed, resulting in the death of an Ajax fan.

In the following seasons of 1997/98 and 1998/99, Ajax defeated Feyenoord completely, including 4:0 and 6:0 victories. Feyenoord was in disrepute. The animosity between the Knicks even extends from the fans to the players.

This season, Ajax has experienced turmoil. Feyenoord has washed away the helplessness of the past few years and completely suppressed Ajax. This makes Feyenoord fans feel very proud, and Ajak Slovakia fans are disappointed because of this.

Before the Dutch Cup final, Feyenoord fans had repeatedly ridiculed and ridiculed Ajax, believing that their first team was a bunch of softies, so they could only let the second team come out to bear Feyenoord's fire.

But the Ajax fans fought back, shouting loudly, "As long as we get into the second team, we can kill you!"

When it came to the game, the Ajax second team surprised everyone from the very beginning. It penetrated Feyenoord's goal in less than a minute and maintained the lead from then on. This made Ajax fans extremely excited and also made the Ajax fans extremely excited. Feyenoord fans and players feel depressed and aggrieved.

At the end of the first half, Feyenoord not only equalized the score, but also completely controlled the advantage on the field. This made Feyenoord fans shout very excitedly in the stands, and also made Feyenoord players He let out a big sigh of relief.

Now, meeting this group of young players from Ajax in the player tunnel, this group of experienced players from Feyenoord naturally did not forget to add insult to injury to further damage the opponent's morale.

"Wow, wow, you little devils from Amsterdam, do you want to cry?" Feyenoord's main defender Van Onderen shouted mockingly.

This slim-looking Dutch central defender who looks a bit sinister has experienced the grievances between Feyenoord and Ajax in recent years. He still won 3:0, 6:0 and 4:0. Feyenoord fans labeled him a first-hand experience of the humiliating game, so for him, being able to suppress Ajax this season is a great feeling.

"But it's no wonder, you are only the second team. If you want to cry, then go home and let your adults come out!" Van Onderen laughed, "But I feel that those adults in your family are all weaklings. I don’t dare to come, and I can’t come!”

"Of course, isn't this nonsense? This is the Dutch Cup final. Except for those lucky guys, everyone has to rely on their strength to get in. Do you think just any cat or dog can come?" De said next to him. Haan said sarcastically.

"It's so pitiful. You're only a few years old, and yet you're called out and embarrassed, tsk tsk!"

Feyenoord's players were sarcastic there, and Ajax's players were not to be outdone.

"It's so funny. You look down on our second team. Did you win? It took a lot of effort for you to equalize the score. How shameless!"

"Yes, yes, I don't even think about it. I was pooped and peed on my head for more than half an hour by a group of people I despised, and I don't feel ashamed. I still have the nerve to speak out!"

"If it were me, I'd just hit the wall and die!"

Van der Vaart, Sneijder and other players from the Ajax youth training could not help but fight back and refused to give an inch.

Today, every team in the Netherlands has a scandal involving football hooligans, so many foreign teams are reluctant to bring fans to the Netherlands to play European competitions, and the Dutch Football Association has also cracked down on this very severely, so it is related Players are relatively restrained in this kind of thing. It's okay to talk about it, but everyone knows where the bottom line is.

"You just keep talking tough, and in the second half we will make you all cry and go home to nurse!"

"Don't kneel down and beg for mercy when the time comes, kid!"

Feyenoord's players walked past the young players from the Ajax second team one after another, each one with a look of disdain, especially when Van Onderen passed by Van der Vaart, sweeping his He glanced at the Ajax star of hope and sneered.

"Are you Van der Vaart?" He shook his head when he asked, "It's not very good. I don't see how you can compare with Cruyff and Overmars. I even think you are not as good as us. Robin van Persie of the youth team!”

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Van der Vaart to counterattack, and walked towards the visiting team's locker room far away from the players' tunnel while laughing.

"These bastards!" Van der Vaart was almost furious.

"We must teach them a lesson in the second half!" Sneijder was also furious.

A group of people were noisy. You said something and I walked into the home team's locker room. The head coach Ye Qiu was already waiting for them here, and everyone including Heitinga, Fan Duyin and others, as soon as they saw Ye Qiu, Qiu, everyone immediately lowered their heads.

Ye Qiu warned them before and during the game that they must not make mistakes or make mistakes, but they still made mistakes.

Although Ye Qiu could understand their mistakes and understand their mood at this moment, he still decided to put some pressure on them, so he looked at them without saying anything, and then the whole locker room suddenly became very quiet, Even the sound of mosquitoes can be heard clearly.

After two or three minutes, Ye Qiu saw that some players finally couldn't sit still, and then he spoke.

"I conceded the goal in the first half and the responsibility is on me!"

Ye Qiu's words shocked everyone present, especially Heitinga and Fan Duyin. They all raised their heads suddenly and looked at their head coach in disbelief.

"I underestimated my opponent too much, and what I must apologize for is that I made a mistake on the tactical level. We shrunk too quickly and too hard!" Ye Qiu's words were what he really wanted to say.

If Ajax's second team hadn't retreated and defended as soon as they were threatened by Feyenoord's counterattack after scoring a goal, if Ajax's second team could have caused some trouble for the opponent, maybe the situation would have been completely different. .

Of course, Ye Qiu's choice was a bit forced, because Feyenoord's counterattack after losing the ball was too fierce. The huge gap in strength made Ye Qiu dare not and could not plan a counterattack. Otherwise, if the players were distracted, they would be unable to defend. Problems are bound to arise.

This is a dilemma, and in the final analysis, the team is not strong enough.

"I have a hunch that Feyenoord managed to equalize the score before the end of the first half and boost their morale. They will not give up this situation easily in the second half. They will want to maintain the situation, so they will use the opening Attack directly with the ball, use the offense to suppress us, and continue to maintain our advantage in the final stage of the first half.”

"We have no choice now but to continue to defend!" Ye Qiu looked at Kurul, "We need more people to defend in the second half, so I will replace you with Maduro."

Kurul looked disappointed. In order to activate Van der Vaart, Ye Qiu placed him on the left wing. As a result, he had no threat or performance on the left wing. Now, just after the first half, he had to replace him again. Kurul, who wanted to perform on the big stage of the Dutch Cup final, was disappointed.

But at this time, he had no choice but to obey.

Ye Qiu didn't have time to pay attention to Kurul. He joined Maduro and returned to the back three. The purpose was to further strengthen the defense. He left Huntelaar and Van der Vaart in the front, and left De Jong and Ma in the midfield. Duro no longer pushes forward and always protects the defense, further liberating Sneijder's role in counterattacks, and also allowing Vandrudo on the right to participate in counterattacks.

"If they want to attack, let them attack. If we want to defend, we must be able to defend!" Ye Qiu looked at the players in front of him and told him word for word, "Remember my words, as long as we don't make any more mistakes, then They couldn't break our defense. The first half was the most obvious example. They attacked for so long, did they break it? "

Heitinga and Fanduin both knew the mistakes they made in the first half. Ye Qiu did not blame them by name, which made them feel very grateful. After hearing Ye Qiu's appeal, they all nodded heavily, feeling in their hearts He secretly promised that he would not make mistakes easily in the second half, and the two of them had already negotiated the division of labor and cooperation when encountering some situations similar to those in the first half.

"As powerful as PSV, they still failed to break through our defense. This is our biggest bargaining chip and our only bargaining chip. We can only defend their offense until they start to lose their strength. Take the opportunity to counterattack and defeat them once again!"

After a pause, Ye Qiu slowed down his tone and said, "I hope you all can remember that this is the first time we appear in front of all the Dutch fans. We must use our performance to let everyone remember us every day. With one person’s name, the championship trophy is right in front of us, just waiting for us to take it back to Amsterdam!”

"I believe you can do it!"

…………

…………

As expected, Van Marwijk still refused to give up the advantage he had worked so hard to build in the first half. As soon as the second half began, he took advantage of the right to serve and boldly launched a fierce attack on the Ajax second team's defense.

Ye Qiu used De Jong and Maduro to guard the middle and protect the defense line. The two players were strictly required not to leave the defense line under any circumstances, so they almost did not advance forward, but stayed in front of the defense line.

Once the ball is obtained, it is immediately transferred to the feet of Sneijder, who usually plays the ball to both sides, especially the right.

But Feyenoord's offensive was too fierce. Although the defense of Ajax's second team was well organized, it also created several threatening attacks. But with one more Maduro, there is one more in front of the defense. Thomason's retracement was restricted, and it was difficult to get space for movement similar to that in the first half.

In this way, the loopholes that Feyenoord finally found were filled in time by the Ajax second team.

The loopholes have been closed, but the price paid is also very high, that is, the counterattack basically only leaves Huntelaar, Van der Vaart, and at best one Van Drew. Sneijder can barely count, and everyone else is still there. Full defense.

This tactic made the Ajax second team look very passive. The scene was completely one-sided and they were suppressed and beaten by Feyenoord.

"The current situation gives people the feeling that Feyenoord's goal will be a matter of time!" The on-site commentator also felt very pessimistic about the current situation of the Ajax second team. With the strength gap there, what else can be done? Sample?

"Indeed!" Cruyff also agreed with this view, "But sooner or later, sooner or later, the key is to see how long Ajax's second team can last. If it can last until Feyenoord takes a breather first , then they might still have a chance.”

"Is there still a chance?" The on-site commentator had a strange view of Cruyff.

"Yes, don't you think Feyenoord attacked too hard from the beginning in the second half?" Cruyff asked.

When the commentator heard this, he thought it was true.

"Maybe it was a mistake, or maybe Ye Qiu arranged it like this deliberately. I would rather believe that this was Ye Qiu's deliberate concession and let Feyenoord attack as much as he wanted. In this case, if Feyenoord cannot attack Ajax's second team's goal, unless they can maintain this fast-paced offensive until the end of the game, otherwise, they will reveal their flaws! "

That's the chance for Ajax's second team to counterattack!

Sometimes I think about it, Cruyff really admires and appreciates this young man. It can almost be said that he led the Ajax second team in the Dutch Cup. In every game, he hung his head on his waist to fight the enemy desperately. , as long as he can't hold on for once, his team will definitely die miserably.

Just like now, if Feyenoord scores the goal, then Feyenoord's players will tear the Ajax second team into pieces like wolves, and this game will definitely become a one-sided game. of massacre.

But the problem is, Ye Qiu and his Ajax second team have survived every time, but what about this time?

Such a game is very torturous, because everyone can see that the lives of the Ajax second team hang on a thread and may fall to death at any time, so all Ajax fans in the audience, They were all worried about the second team, frightened and terrified by every Feyenoord attack.

However, the players of the second team worked selflessly in the game. They even used their bodies to block the opponent's shots again and again, and then got up from the ground as if the ball didn't hurt them. Get back into the game.

It was like this when they played PSV, they were like this when they played Utrecht, they were like this when they played Heerenveen, and now they are still like this when they play Feyenoord. This is beyond the scope of tactics.

Huang Chu and Eliza Moon were both sitting in the stands of Philips Stadium. They both got the tickets given to them by Ye Qiu and sat next to each other. But now they were all sweating profusely because they were nervous. Because of fear.

If it was Huang Chu's usual character, she would consider leaving the field early as she didn't like football very much. But this time, she just sat there and looked at the man on the edge of the field who had his back to her but clenched his fists tightly. , Ye Qiu is staring at the competition, she hopes to fight side by side with Ye Qiu.

Exclaimed again and again, whizzed by again and again, but the ball never aimed at the goal of the Ajax second team.

This was not merciful by Feyenoord, because they had at least two chances to put the ball into the goal. Once they had deceived the goalkeeper, but were destroyed in advance by Kifu in front of the goal line, resolving a scoring crisis, and another time. It was De Jong who was pulled back and blocked Countryman's shot with his body. For this reason, De Jong was carried off the court for treatment, but he quickly returned to the game.

This group of 16 and 17-year-old boys are not as strong as their opponents, but their hard work is not inferior to anyone's!

"Ajax, come on!!"

"Come on, Ajax!"

"Brave Ajax warriors, we fight side by side with you!!"

"Kill Feyenoord, we are brave Ajax!"

The fans in the stands were also infected by the tenacious fighting spirit of the second team players. Amidst the shouts of the Feyenoord fans, they gradually shouted out the Ajax fans' own slogans, which seemed very weak at first. But gradually, all the Ajax fans in the audience united and shouted loudly. Their momentum was not inferior to that of Feyenoord, and even faintly suppressed their opponents.

Fans will get tired if they chant for a long time, and players will get tired if they attack for a long time.

In the end, the players of Ajax's second team made a big-footed clearance almost every time they got the ball, and then continued to defend.

As the time between Feyenoord's attacks became longer and longer, everyone could see that the physical fitness of Feyenoord's players was beginning to fail. They maintained a fast-paced offensive in the second half for a full 25 minutes. My body can't bear it.

However, Ajax II still cleared the ball to them, and then they stayed in their own 30-meter area, looking at the other side, as if to say: Come again, come again, if you have the guts, come and attack again!

After attacking for a long time, Feyenoord began to relax their vigilance, began to press forward, and began to not pay attention to the large gaps left behind them.
