Mourinho's heart was hit hard, and he couldn't breathe for a while.

There was an unconcealable shock in his eyes!

A genius match!

This is what attacking football is most proud of.

When talent and creativity are shown on the pitch, no one can predict what will happen!

It can be said that this is exactly the opposite of Mourinho's football philosophy.

He cannot allow players to have too much self-performance, and the degree of freedom given to players is obviously low. What he focuses on is the overall overall tactical execution.

And like Ajax insisting on the club's traditional technical and tactical style of play under Koeman, in fact, as long as the next system is established, then the coach will "govern by doing nothing", allowing the players to cooperate and create freely. force!

This is why Koeman is not as famous as Mourinho when he also led the team to the Champions League final this season.

The media will always tirelessly discuss a question around Koeman: Did this group of talented players make Koeman, or did Koeman activate this group of talented players?Is it possible to change the coach to coach Ajax, and Ajax can also be successful?

The media who do not understand the situation inside the Ajax locker room cannot understand the relationship and feelings between the players and Koeman.

Reforming while advancing, and insisting on implementing the club's traditional technical and tactical system to appoint talents and select talents, Koeman's every step does not come from whimsy, but will combine the actual situation and not abandon his ideals.

His situation has always been very difficult. It is undeniable that the existence of Van Gaal has always given him great pressure. Just think that nine years ago, Van Gaal also led a group of talents to win such a supreme honor, and was horrified by the European media. Jaques will rule European football for ten years!Coman's shoulders seemed to be carrying two mountains and moving forward silently.

If it weren't for the introduction of Bosman's law, perhaps the current Ajax would not be inferior to the world-class giants.

Because of Mourinho's high requirements for the team's tactical execution ability, the team he leads is more able to highlight the coach's coaching performance.

But at this time, Mourinho knows very well that the winning football he admires, as long as he can win the game, he can do whatever it takes!

The opponent he faced was the exact opposite, unrestrained romantic offensive football.

Porto is rigorous and absolutely rational, but Ajax is open and occasionally unreasonable!

Two different styles of football collided and each showed their talents.

When this pinnacle battle came to the final stage, the scene was evenly divided.

Porto used defensive counterattacks to seize every opportunity to break through Ajax's gate twice, and Ajax returned the gift in an unexpected way!

Mourinho dismissed the idea of ​​substitutions.

Originally intended to replace offensive players with defensive players to strengthen the defense, now this plan can be thrown in the trash!

The score is 2:2.

Maybe it will go into overtime, is it really going to bet on penalties?

Mourinho will not leave his fate to luck.

Keeping the situation on the field unchanged, Mourinho went to the sidelines to cheer for the players, so that they would not be affected by the changes in the situation.

When the Ajax players were walking towards the backcourt, Sneijder tugged Qin Xiong's arm, and then pointed to the sidelines. Qin Xiong looked towards the sidelines and saw Koeman shouting and pointing at Qin Xiong.

Qin Xiong immediately trotted over. Due to the loud noise in the stands, Qin Xiong had to turn sideways, and Coman covered his mouth with his hands and spoke into his ears.

Qin Xiong kept nodding his head. Koeman did not make any substitutions in this final. There was indeed no one available. Pienaar, the only one who could count on offense, was temporarily useless. Besides, at this stage of the game, he was worried that even if Pienaar played, he would not be able to play. If you enter the game state, then this substitution will not have any effect.

He told Qin Xiong his on-the-spot command intention, and then asked Qin Xiong to convey it to his teammates on the field.

After speaking, Koeman patted Qin Xiong on the back, Qin Xiong nodded and quickly trotted back to the court, Van der Vaart, Ibrahimovic, and Sneijder stood together and waited for him.

Because they saw Qin Xiong running towards them.

The four formed a circle, Qin Xiong told his teammates about Coman's adjustment, and then prepared to continue the game.

The audience and the audience in front of the TV all saw the scene of Qin Xiong being called to the sidelines by Koeman to teach him face-to-face, not to mention Mourinho who was not far from Koeman.

Of course he saw it too.

Now many people are curious about what Coman said to Qin Xiong.

How will Ajax change?

After explaining to Qin Xiong, Koeman turned around and walked to the bench, calling out all the substitute players except the substitute goalkeeper Stekelenburg, and then Ajax's substitute players got up one after another Started warm-up exercises on the sidelines.

Mourinho's face became unprecedentedly dignified.

It looks like Ajax is going to prepare for a substitution.

Songk, Sotals, Pienaar, O'Brien, Trabelsi, Pasanin.

Who will play the six substitute players who are going to warm up?

The game restarted and Mourinho turned his attention back to the pitch.

After watching for 1 minute, Mourinho saw an unexpected scene.

Ajax's forward line, only Ibrahimovic exists!

Except for Ibrahimovic rushing to the front line, Sneijder, van der Vaart, and Qin Xiong all stayed in the midfield area, seeming to focus on defense.

What about attacking?

Just rely on the long pass!

Pin your hopes on Ibrahimovic who has just scored a header.

Has Ajax given up on ideals?

Surrendered to reality after a hard-fought equalizer?

Kneel down in front of utilitarian football?

No one in the outside world knows.

Only the Ajax players themselves understand.

In many key battles in the past, Ajax's youth has always been the concern of the outside world.

Youth is not only a lack of experience, but also their physical condition has not reached its peak.

And one of the physical conditions is physical fitness.

Sneijder and Van der Vaart were repeatedly exhausted in the final stage of key battles. Although they were not tired, the decline in running was a problem that the coaching staff had always hoped to improve.

But this problem cannot be changed during the season, and immediate results can be achieved.

In the Champions League final, less than 10 minutes into the final game, Koeman knew that if Ajax continued to play like this, Sneijder and van der Vaart must have physical problems, and if their physical fitness could not keep up, it would make them suffer. The speed drops, the running range shrinks, and the explosive power cannot be exerted.

This is not surrender, but flexibility. Ajax holds high the banner of offensive football. Is it necessary to be exhausted?

Making wise choices in combination with reality has been Koeman's management style throughout the season.

In the final stage of the game, van der Vaart and Sneijder were allowed to retreat, giving Porto the illusion that Ajax was going to drag the game into overtime, or buy time for substitutions, in order to allow the two players to get on the field. A brief respite.

Porto has regrouped, and De Kobe has more room to play before, because the pressure on the defensive end has suddenly decreased, and he can focus more on offense.

But Porto went to fight a positional battle, and faced with Ajax's active retreat of the three lines of defense, they seemed helpless.

Ajax's offense has become very rigid. Either Qin Xiong will pass the ball to his teammates in the midfield and take the initiative to slow down the pace of the game. If he encounters a strong sniper, he and his teammates will directly make a long pass to Yi at the front line. cloth.

Ibrahimovic is closely guarded by Porto's back line and midfielder. Not to mention what he can do, most of them can't even control the ball.

The fans in the stands are like ice and fire.

Porto fans feel a little disappointed, only 10 minutes away from winning the trophy.

The Ajax fans breathed a sigh of relief first. As for the team's shrinking defense, they didn't think it was a big problem. Take a breath and play overtime.

From the first minute of the game so far, Porto, who has been unswervingly playing anti-counterattack tactics, suddenly found that Ajax had greatly reduced the impact on their defense.

It is still easy to stare at Ibrahimovic, especially Ajax is mainly attacking with long passes. There is almost no point behind Ibrahimovic to respond. In other words, he has to control the ball or shoot by himself. Limitations, and it is easier to be predicted by opponents, so it is not difficult for Porto to use three or four players to mark him dead.

Their defensive line can finally take a breath, and their tense nerves are naturally relieved.

With the passage of time, most fans and spectators believed that the calm situation on the field represented the tacit agreement of the two teams to enter overtime and then the final decisive battle.

The situation is undergoing subtle changes, and the mental pressure and psychological changes of the players may also be carried out in a state that they are not aware of.

A storm is brewing...
