The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 105 Players' Choice
Still in the visiting team locker room at the end of the player tunnel, after the first half of the game, every Ajax player seemed to be sweating profusely, panting heavily.

From 1:0 to 1:1, these are two completely different results, and the players also have different feelings about these two results.

There is no doubt that the Ajax players were disappointed and regretful when the score was equalized before the end, especially Grimm and Lucio who made mistakes. a hidden danger.

Grimm is not young and often makes mistakes. Lucio is the angel and devil of Ajax's defense line. Even the Amsterdam Corriere Post once made such statistics. If these two players are included, If the points lost due to anyone's mistakes were reduced to half, then Ajax would have already won the championship.

It is not difficult to see from this that the problems of these two players have long existed.

Ye Qiu has always been dissatisfied with Grimm, because this goalkeeper is not young, and although he has strength, his state cannot be effectively guaranteed, especially now that Ajax is performing better and better. The team urgently needs a goalkeeper who can stand in front of the goal and give the players confidence.

You know, next season, Ajax will go to the European Champions Cup, where the competition is more intense and the pressure is greater. By then, if Grimm continues to perform like this, Ajax will definitely be destroyed. disaster.

But replacing the goalkeeper is a matter for the future. Right now, for Ye Qiu, the most important thing is to think about how to beat Barcelona, ​​that is the top priority.

"I was very happy with everyone's performance in the first 10 minutes of the first half, but after 10 minutes, I was very disappointed because we played too conservatively, we only led by one goal, but it seemed to have lost. In order to be aggressive, I just want to keep the score of 1:1 until the end."

"You don't want to blame anyone for the goal in the last moments of the first half. I think if it is going to take responsibility, it must be all of us, because we didn't manage to keep the pressure on Barcelona well, which led to their loss. The state recovered and finally taught us a painful lesson, who can be blamed?"

Ye Qiu's words made it impossible for the Ajax players present to refute, because after taking the lead, they did show some slack, especially in tactical execution.

"I said before the game that we have to play fast in this game and use our impact to destroy Barcelona's defense and suppress Barcelona's offense. However, after we scored, we gradually lost control of the rhythm. That's the main reason we conceded the ball at the last minute!"

It is really necessary for Ye Qiu to remind the players again that when playing against Barcelona, ​​they have to use their devastating impact to break through Barcelona's defense and suppress Barcelona's offense like they did in the first 10 minutes of the first half.

"Do you know why we were able to dominate the situation and rhythm in the first 10 minutes?"

The perspectives of the players and the head coach are different. The players are on the court and they are part of the game, so they cannot see the overall situation of the game, because they themselves are the blind corner of the game, while the head coach is standing outside the game. They can clearly see everything that is happening on the playing field without any blind spots.

The players all had a general impression of Ye Qiu's question, but they couldn't tell why.

"We played more proactively in the first 10 minutes, first of all we did a good job of isolating Barcelona Rivaldo and Kluivert, which caused problems in Barcelona's offensive advancement, unable to pass the ball to them effectively Second, we forced them to move the ball faster through high-intensity pressing and pressing in the midfield."

"In the absence of an effective contact point, but also to move the ball quickly, Cocu and Guardiola don't have many options, either long balls, but the accuracy rate is reduced, or go to the wing, but Overmars and Luiz? Enrique was in our key defense, so Barcelona can only participate in support through Sergi and Puyol, or even De Boer and Reziger."

After the players listened to Ye Qiu's analysis, combined with their personal experience on the field, they had to admit that the head coach's analysis was correct, almost telling everything that happened on the field, and this was Ye Qiu's pre-match experience. arrangement and layout.

It's just that when the players executed it later, they greatly discounted it.

"So, I have to remind you again now that Barcelona's advantage lies in their technology and personal ability, while our advantage lies in the impact and fast-paced passing and receiving. If we want to beat Barcelona, Then we have to play in the same way as in the first 10 minutes of the first half, speed up the rhythm and firmly control it in our hands, and the midfield must form a strong pressure on Barcelona's midfield."

After Ye Qiu analyzed the tactical contest between the enemy and us, the players also understood what to do.

After Ye Qiu said this, he knew that there was no need to say anything more, so he looked at Van der Meyde.

"Andy, you looked tired in the first half!" Ye Qiu said.

Van der Meyde's eyes dimmed, and he knew what he was doing, "I'm sorry, head!"

"Let Raphael play in the second half, you rest well, we need some changes to win the game, you understand?"

Although Van der Meyde was very reluctant, he had to admit that his performance in the first half was not good enough, so he could only nod.

"Rafael, go play right winger in the second half!" Ye Qiu pointed at Van der Vaart.

The latter nodded and didn't say anything, but what could not be hidden in his eyes was joy and high fighting spirit.

Uefa Cup final, who wouldn't want to perform in a game like this?

"We have to play a crazy offensive at the beginning of the second half, but I believe that Barcelona must be alert to our offense and counterattack in the first half, and our left will be under their key marking, so I need Our right wing is more active in attacking!"

"Raphael, you need to look at Sergi in defense and protect Maicon. In offense, Sneijder has to avoid Cocu and Guardiola, while you lean in the middle and respond to Sneijder at any time. And Zlatan Ibrahimovic, give Maicon your right!"

Ye Qiu's tactical arrangement was not difficult to understand, and the players understood it after hearing it.

"Maicon, as soon as you see an opportunity, you can go forward with confidence and boldly. You don't need to have the slightest worry. Once you lose the ball, you can fight back immediately. I believe that your teammates behind you can protect you very well. !"

Maicon has always known that the reason Ye Qiu valued him was because of his excellent offensive ability, but at the same time, Ye Qiu also always hoped that he could strengthen his defensive ability and adapt to the requirements of European full-backs, and this is why he In the past year, I have asked myself.

"Don't worry, head, I know how to do it!"

"Keita's position should be a little bit back, Gilberto Silva should pay attention to protect the right flank, and Lucio..." Ye Qiu looked at the tall and burly Brazilian central defender, who was surprised by Ye Qiu's eyes. Sweeping, feeling guilty all over his body, "Be smart, you boy, don't keep running forward for me, and don't want to play with your messy skills!"

Ye Qiu's words made everyone in the locker room burst into laughter, because Lucio's favorite thing to do is to play with skills, and even his mistake was caused by sticking to the ball?
Lucio smiled wryly in his heart, are his techniques messy?
"Remember!" Ye Qiu solemnly reminded him, "This is a UEFA Cup final, and if we win, it will be the honor of our life, but if the performance fails, I believe that you people, even if you are old and dead, will be happy." Sorry for this match!"

"If you don't want to leave yourself with irreversible regrets, then listen to me. From the beginning of the second half, fight against Barcelona!"

Ye Qiu rarely said such heavy words, so after hearing Ye Qiu's words, Lucio and the players all felt that the head coach was not joking, what he said was true, who If you commit the crime again, I'm afraid that you will have to sit on the bench in the future.

"Welcome back to the UEFA Cup final held at the Westfalenstadion in Dortmund, Germany. The two sides are Barcelona from La Liga and Ajax from the Eredivisie. The second half of the game will be played soon!"

The on-site commentator restarted the commentary of the game. He must have drank some water, and his tone seemed much more refreshing.

"We can see that under the leadership of the referee Colina, players from both sides walked out of the field one after another. Barcelona did not make substitution adjustments during the intermission, but Ajax did. , replaced the right winger Van der Meyde, who has performed very well this season, with the star of hope Van der Vaart!"

"This is a match-up substitution. I wonder if Ye Qiu wants to adjust the team's right flank? Because as far as we know, Van der Vaart is more likely to pose a threat by moving closer to the center on the right flank."

In the first half, Barcelona kicked off, and in the second half, it naturally became Ajax.

When Ibrahimovic passed the ball to Robben, who quickly knocked back and passed it directly to the backcourt for Kivu, the Romania international firmly controlled the ball and watched his teammates go forward. Pressed, he also chose to take the ball forward, and it was not until Kluivert forced over symbolically that Kivu passed the ball to Keita.

Ajax took advantage of the opportunity of kick-off and advanced steadily, while Barcelona first ensured the defense and retreated steadily.

Keita passed the ball to Gilberto Silva, who saw Van der Vaart running from the right to the center as soon as he got the ball, and immediately passed the ball to Van der Vaart.

Van der Vaart is a left-footed player. After leaning against Sergi with his body, he controlled the ball with his left foot. It is to quickly knock the ball behind you with your heel.

"Ajax's right-back Maicon sprinted forward on the right. He was very fast. Van der Vaart's pass came in front of him cleverly. With a big stride forward, Sergi gave up. Van der Vaart, quickly chase after Maicon!"

The Brazilian used his speed on the right to pass through Barcelona's defense, but this time he did not choose to cross, but after attracting Sergi, he made an emergency stop, turned around, dribbled, and passed back to the penalty area cutting edge.

After Van der Vaart lost Sergi's defense, he came to the right corner of the penalty area. As soon as Maicon's pass came to his feet, he adjusted and quickly dribbled the ball along the front of the penalty area to the middle.

At this time, the Barcelona defensive players were taken aback, especially Guardiola and central defender De Boer. Both of them immediately realized the threat of van der Vaart getting the ball at the front of the penalty area. It's so comfortable.

De Boer rushed out quickly, and Van der Vaart made a false kick, which tricked De Boer to block sideways, but Van der Vaart suddenly made a through pass with his left foot and passed the ball from De Boer's side. past.

Ibrahimovic pressed Reziger firmly with his body, and suddenly ran behind De Boer quickly.

I saw the Swede with his back to the goal, stopped Van der Vaart's through ball with his right foot, turned his body flexibly to the goal, blocked the approaching Rezig with his left shoulder, and took advantage of the situation with his right foot. The ball that stopped in front of him whipped.

The action before this shot is very simple and simple, but the action after that is a typical Ibrahimovic style, very hearty, a very hard re-shoot, the ball seems to be going through the net. Got into the goal.

"Wow woo woo woo!!!!!!"

"Goal! Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored twice!!!"

All the Ajax fans rushed out of their seats, raised their arms, and cheered loudly!

"Less than a minute into the second half, Ajax broke through Barcelona's goal again. This was the first attack of the two sides in the second half, and it was also the first shot. It came very suddenly, but Ajax showed Played his own efficient attack, and it was very fast!"

After Ye Qiu saw Zlatan Ibrahimovic score again from the sidelines, he felt very excited. He gave a tight bear hug to Bobby Harms behind him, raised his arms and shouted cheers.

This goal will deal a huge blow to Barcelona's morale. They managed to equalize the score at the end of the first half, but conceded the goal at the beginning of the game. psychological frustration.

Football is never just tactics, not just strength, but more importantly, the execution of tactics. The players who play with strength, their psychological quality, and their mental state are what really determine the outcome of a football game key!

Zlatan Ibrahimovic excitedly rushed out of the stadium, first ran around the field, and passed the stands where the Barcelona fans were. Front.

The Swede opened his arms and hugged Ye Qiu who was standing on the sidelines.

At the same time, Van der Vaart, Sneijder, Keita, Robben and other Ajax players also rushed to the sidelines, surrounded the two of them, and the players on the bench rushed forward , everyone surrounded the head coach Ye Qiu.

"It's a touching scene, isn't it?"

"Before the game, Ajax broke a shocking news. The club management privately contacted the famous Dutch coach Ed Vokat, hoping to let this young general enter the Arenal Stadium next season, but now, The players made a choice with their own actions, they chose to be loyal to their head coach, to Ye Qiu!"

"Perhaps, after seeing this scene, the management of Ajax should think about it. After all, Ye Qiu's team performed very well. He should get more recognition and affirmation, and he should also get more recognition. Respect, because he has brought out a young guard with amazing combat effectiveness, Ajax!"

Surrounded by the players, Ye Qiu felt the heat only, because every player had just sweated profusely, which made each of them steam. Qiu, the heat naturally surrounded Ye Qiu, so he felt very hot.

But he was very excited and excited.

"Don't make the mistake of the first half again, guys!" Ye Qiu said loudly.

The Ajax fans at the scene created a deafening momentum. Even Ye Qiu shouting loudly now may not guarantee that all the players can hear him, so he is not at all worried that the people in Barcelona will overhear them.

"We must continue to maintain pressure on them, remember my words, only by maintaining oppression and pressing on them, and only by limiting their offense, can we win this game!"

Ye Qiu's words made the players nod their heads in unison, they were completely convinced of the head coach.

Not to mention that Ye Qiu asked them to continue to push up, even if Ye Qiu asked all 11 of them to push up now, I'm afraid they would still carry it out, because this is the dependence and habit they have developed in the past year.

"Don't worry about Barcelona's counterattack. Remember, as long as our pressing is good enough and tight enough, then they can't have a chance to counterattack. We can't relax any more. Leading by one goal is not what we want. We want To win more, we will completely crush our opponents!"

"Understood!" The players shouted in unison.

At this moment, everyone heard and looked over.

"Come on, heroes of Ajax!"

The players dispersed and ran back to the court in unison, while Collina quickly handed the ball to Kluivert, ready to kick off again.

Obviously, the first wave of Ajax's attack from the very beginning, the first shot pierced the goal again. Barcelona felt incredible and didn't understand which part of the team had a problem, but they all Feeling very frustrated, because they worked so hard to equalize the score, but then lost again, isn't this a prodigal?

Sometimes, this kind of frustration and frustration is contagious. In addition, in the past season, Barcelona went from ambitious to empty-handed, which led to a serious sense of frustration and depression in themselves. Now, Aja Max took the lead again, which made their emotions completely explode.

On the other hand, Ajax, all the players realized that the head coach's analysis was very correct, so they began to devote themselves to Ye Qiu's tactical execution, and coupled with the lead again, Ajax's morale was like a rainbow, like The Tigers went down the mountain and launched a round of indiscriminate bombing towards Barcelona's position.
