Chapter 96: A Historic Moment

Thanks to "kylz" for the reward!

-------

Regardless of the management level of a team, in the field of actual combat, there are two most important components, one is the coaching staff, and the other is the players.

There is a saying that goes well, a snake can't do without a head, and a soldier can't do without a leader.

The brilliant achievements of any team must be inseparable from the contribution of the head coach, even if the attention of the head coach is not as high as that of the stars. In other words, if the head coach is dispensable, then why does this professional role exist in football for a long time? altar?

Existence must be reasonable.

In the competitive confrontation of a game, there are generally two parts.

In the battle between the head coaches, most of the players on the court also implement the head coach's tactical arrangements to fulfill the head coach's means of achieving the goals of the game.

In this Champions League game, Koeman's opponent is Ancelotti!

In a sense, the 22 players on the field are pawns in the hands of the head coach.

In the overall level of technical and tactical confrontation, the two coaches are the ones who give orders and decide how to play the game.

Koeman's vision for this game is to avoid his edge in the opening stage, let Sikora do his best to harass on the right, and consume AC Milan!

Strategically, it is consumption, and tactically, it is also a kind of foreshadowing. After Qin Xiong enters the field, let Qin Xiong dispatch the attack and fight back to the middle. At that time, there will be no temptation and harassment, and it will be a decisive battle between you and me!

However, Ajax has failed to realize Koeman's strategic vision for the game since the beginning!

Because, AC Milan made the first move!

Even when Qin Xiong witnessed the development of the game, he wondered whether AC Milan had planted spies in the Ajax locker room!

The starting point of AC Milan is Kaladze, who did not play in the last game!

He happened to be opposite Sikora!

Sikora right winger, Kaladze left back.

Without waiting for Sikora to attack Kaladze, Kaladze first repeatedly shuttled up and down the left road with the support of AC Milan's strong midfield control!

The reason why Koeman wants to use Sikora is very simple. In the last game, Maldini did not make much contribution to the offense on the wing. That is because it is difficult for Maldini to play full-backs. The task of shuttle, in view of this, there is the consumption task of Sikola in this game.

However, when Kaladze hit the full-back and rushed forward, Ajax's defensive system was obviously flustered!

A single midfielder may not be able to guard against that handsome Brazilian, Kaka!

So Ajax has to play double defensive midfielders. Even so, behind Kaka, Pirlo, Seedorf, these are all figures who can rush to the penalty area at any time and threaten to explode.

De Jong and Garasek did not dare to easily support the wing, otherwise, the center would be pierced.

And Grigera wants to defend Kaladze head-on by himself, can he defend it?

Maybe, but definitely not 100% successful!

Sikora must return to defense!

His initiative is all on returning to defense, how can he consume AC Milan?

Koeman did not expect that AC Milan, who had put on a tepid attitude at San Siro, would come to the Amsterdam Arena. At the beginning of the game, they immediately played an anti-customer posture!

He didn't want to admit it, but the reality was so cruel.

Just based on the game situation after the opening, he, Ronald Koeman, lost to Carlo Ancelotti!

Therefore, Ancelotti is the Champions League champion coach, but he is actually nothing.

Qin Xiong was also very shocked.

AC Milan's defense line was very stable in the last game. Maldini taught Sikora a lesson, making him useless, looking like a dazed and wronged child.

That's it, Koeman's strategic concept is based on the fact that Maldini will not take on more offensive tasks as a full-back!

However, AC Milan made active changes in a position without any problems and hidden dangers!

This may be the wisdom of Ancelotti, who looks like a good old man, in using soldiers.

And with his hand of cards, Ajax's grand strategic vision for this game can already declare a complete collapse, and all plans can be thrown into the trash can!

Sikora went to the game with a mission, but passively, he could only run after Karadze and participate in the defense, which made him lost from the beginning, and he himself was very anxious!

If he can't play his role, Ajax must change!

Rarely, after only 10 minutes of the game, Koeman asked Qin Xiong to warm up!

Without further ado, Qin Xiong put on the special training shirt for the Champions League and started warming up on the sidelines.

In the arena, AC Milan used Kalaze's tactic of making a breakthrough on the left to play a role, and it was getting better and better.

Within 5 minutes of Qin Xiong's warm-up, AC Milan made two threatening shots from Thomason and Kaka!

All created from the side of Kaladze.

This forced Ajax to shift its defensive focus to the right.

After warming up, Qin Xiong returned to coach Koeman and listened to Koeman's tactical arrangements.

One wrong step, one wrong step!

Qin Xiong was originally going to be a surprise soldier, but now, Coman assigned him the task of going up to fight the fire!

Stabilize Ajax!

Van der Vaart's defensive enthusiasm is very different from Qin Xiong's. If Van der Vaart plays the front midfielder, if he can't interfere and block the back of Pirlo or Seedorf, he will not be able to liberate the double midfielder Garasek. Going to help defend the wing with De Jong, this is a chain reaction of interlocking!

If Sikora cannot play his due tactical role on the field, then there is no need for him to stay on the field!

As a right winger, his main task is definitely not to fill the defense.

Qin Xiong's mind was running very fast, and he could instantly understand the intention of Coman's tactical change.

He went up to take over Van der Vaart's position, strengthen the defense in the middle, and liberate the double midfielders. At least De Jong or Garasek can help defend the wing. Then, Van der Vaart can play right winger or left winger, and Sneijder can change. In the past, then, Ajax can re-stabilize the offensive and defensive system.

Just when Qin Xiong was nodding on the sidelines to accept his orders, there was a sudden change on the field!

Karadze once again rushed to the front line, but this time, he did not break through, cut inside, or pass from the side. Instead, he passed the ball back to the inverted triangle position in front of the penalty area.

Seedorf responded there, and then made a precise oblique ground pass to the right half.

Pirlo pressed forward in front of the penalty area, and after stopping the ball, he flexibly sent it through with a kick!

The football rolled past Garasek, penetrated his defense zone, and rolled into the penalty area next to Escud. Shevchenko cut into the penalty area, kept the ball, and pushed directly towards the goal. Near the goal!

Although Lobant had tried his best to block the near corner of the goal, he was still slow, and the football rolled into the goal against the inside of the goal post!

Coman was dumbfounded!

It was originally supposed to be Ajax's tactic of playing east and west, but it was first played by AC Milan!

Kaladze, the impact after the opening was just a feint!

The real killer move was still suddenly shifting to the other half, where Pirlo's last pass was a threatening attack!

Shevchenko celebrated in the court in a heroic manner, and Ancelotti showed a kindly smile, as if there was no tension or worry from the first minute of coming here.

The Amsterdam Arena is dead, Ajax fans are hesitant, helpless, and desperate!

At least Ajax's performance since the beginning has not given any confidence to the fans!

The score is behind!

At this time, Koeman insisted on substituting, although Qin Xiong thought Koeman was decisive enough, but in terms of timing, it seemed that there was still a difference of 1 or 2 minutes!

You know, in a football game, if a player does not leave the field due to injury, it is almost impossible to be replaced in the first half!

But Koeman asked Qin Xiong to warm up, which means that he will definitely make substitution adjustments in the first half, which requires courage and decisiveness.

Now, after only 20 minutes into the game, he has made substitutions and adjustments. How heavy will be the blow to Sikora's confidence?

Koeman can't care so much anymore. If he loses this game, Ajax can almost declare that the Champions League is eliminated!

Even if there is still hope, fate will not be completely in their own hands.

Under the worried eyes of the Ajax people, Qin Xiong stood on the sidelines, Sikora lowered his head, and he looked a little aggrieved at this moment because of his thin body.

He may have done nothing wrong, but he was "disgracefully" replaced in the opening 20 minutes!

Qin Xiong couldn't give him any help, he could only hug him once with his arms, and then ran into the arena with firm eyes.

Maybe Qin Xiong himself didn't realize that the moment he stepped into the stadium, in the far east, in the land of China, there were countless Chinese fans cheering for him, proud of him, blood boiling for him!
