The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 199

Sometimes, people are like this, with a complex of fearing that the world will not be chaotic in their bones.

I believe that all the fans in the world are eager to see the game evolve into a Juventus attack. Ajax is not conservative, the ball is switched quickly, and the offense and defense are frequently alternated. Both teams play very proactively. This kind of game is enough. , it looks good.

But for Lippi, this is hard to say.

As a typical Serie A team, Juventus has a slow rhythm. This is a typical style of Serie A. They focus on defense and meticulous tactical system. Passion is not what they pursue. I believe that many Italian coaches even wish to get 11 points. Robots can execute their tactics flawlessly and without emotion.

Also because his own rhythm has always been slow, and his defense is stronger than offense, so if he is playing a defensive counterattack, it is in the arms of Juventus, but now he wants Juventus to press out and counterattack, even ignoring the defense behind him. This is a bit difficult, after all, Juventus is not used to playing in this fast pace.

On the other hand, Ajax has a very fast pace, even faster than most Premier League teams, but their speed is not blindly fast, but targeted fast, especially when they find After the direction of attack.

At first glance, the two teams are not conservative, but in fact, Ajax has shifted from the original high defense to pay more attention to the interception of the center line. They put the interception area of ​​​​the midfielder on the center line, and the defense line is 30 meters into their own side. For Ajax, which has always advocated offense, it is already a focus on defense.

In addition, Ajax players are very adaptable to this rhythm. They know very well how to cooperate and maintain defensive stability under this rhythm, and their tactics are also very simple, focusing on defense, especially The defense and interception from the center line to the 30-meter area of ​​our own side will pull you out and induce you to make mistakes. As long as you make a mistake, I will seize the opportunity and fight back.

Moreover, Ajax's counterattack is often only a few people, very fast, very sharp, with a certain degree of cooperation, but not many troops are invested. It is more like a guerrilla war. Hit and run, anyway, I don't suffer.

If Lippi were to describe it, Ye Qiu's tactics should be called bandit style.

"Damn it!" Seeing an attack by Juventus, Del Piero got the ball and was interfered by Mascherano, and was quickly cleared by Lucio to defuse an attack. Lippi was so angry on the sidelines that he scolded his mother.

But he didn't have a choice because he wanted to win!

In this kind of knockout match, there is no choice for being behind, and the leader will always have the greatest initiative.

According to the current situation of Juventus, what must be attacked is only the time. What Lippi can do is to decide the time. But the problem is that you can arrange the counterattack time in the second half, but the tighter the time, the more pressure on the players. The bigger it is, the more likely it is that there will be variables.

In this kind of key knockout match, no one has enough confidence and confidence to score the opponent two goals in a short time, so Lippi wanted to test first, try to counterattack, and observe Ajak Si's response and changes, looking for the team's weaknesses, and then make a decision.

In the final analysis, no matter what Silver Fox does, it still has to be steady.

…………

…………

Ye Qiu was also standing on the sidelines, but he was not like Lippi, the famous Italian coach never left his hand on cigarettes. He smoked the cigarillos that were abundant in his hometown of Tuscany, while Ye Qiu never smoked.

Therefore, the two head coaches stood on the sidelines, Lippi was smoking a cigarillo, his silver hair matched his body, and he looked very personable, while Ye Qiu stood there with his hands in his pockets, showing no demeanor. Not inferior, even a little more willful that is unique to young people.

Because of this, the live TV camera specially gave these two people a close-up, and then took a far-sighted shot to capture the two at the same time. It seems that the fans watching the game not only appreciate the duel on the football field, Also appreciate the infighting between the two coaches.

Ye Qiu didn't know that he was captured by the camera, but he wouldn't be surprised, because in a Champions League game, this kind of situation could happen anytime and anywhere, so he watched the game indifferently, While analyzing the situation, he was also analyzing Lippi's current thoughts.

The knockout game is not only a test of the coach's targeted tactics and the strength of the players, but also a test of the coach's guessing skills.

"Let the players pay attention to defense, keep their strength, and don't rush to counterattack." Ye Qiu explained to Roland.

He had a premonition that what Lippi was thinking about now was not to make a big counterattack, because it hadn't come yet.

Lippi has always used his troops to seek stability. He will not take such a risk to counterattack now, because there is still a second half, so the most likely thing he will do now is to test, because he will always find the main direction of attack when counterattacking. ?
He should be investigating now which player is in poor condition, which link of Ajax is weak, and which direction can become the main attack point of Juventus' counterattack.

Ye Qiu raised his head and looked at the time. At 31 minutes, Juventus started to counterattack after conceding a goal. It has been 14 minutes now. Ajax has many counterattack opportunities, but because Ye Qiu asked the players to pay attention to defense, Therefore, there are not many troops invested.

In Ye Qiu's view, a truly threatening counterattack is enough.

"In a few more minutes, it should be almost there!" Ye Qiu said to himself.

Every game of any team changes back and forth between fast and slow, and frequently switches between offense and defense. No team can maintain a fast pace for a long time, because its physical fitness cannot keep up, and it is impossible Keep a slow pace for a long time, because slow can't win at all, and the same goes for offense and defense.

It is impossible for Juventus to spend all their strength in the first half. Lippi's key counterattack time is the second half. The first half is just brewing and warming up. Close hand.

It should be around 35 minutes to 40 minutes.

According to the different physical conditions of each team, Ye Qiu can't clearly predict the opponent's situation. He can only give a rough idea, but he can make his own judgment based on the situation of the game at that time.

But he is very clear that Lippi's brewing and warming up cannot last for a long time, and what Ye Qiu is facing now is an opportunity. As long as Juventus retreats, Ajax will immediately counterattack and launch a round of grabbing Attack, attack directly to the end of the first half, not giving Juventus a chance to slow down the rhythm.

There are at least two advantages to doing so regardless of whether a goal is scored or not.

The first is to enter the intermission with the morale that overwhelms the opponent, and the second is to consume more physical energy of the opponent to obtain a more ample environment for the second half.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu turned his head to the side, looked at Li Pi who was smoking a cigar, and smiled, "It must make you smoke with anger!"

…………

…………

Antonio Conte will soon be 35 years old.

Unknowingly, he has already played in Juventus for more than ten years in Serie A. He can be said to have experienced the most glorious years of Juventus, from reaching the Champions League final for three consecutive years to winning the cup, and sinking a little in the new century After the re-emergence, Conte has experienced countless ups and downs with the Bianconeri.

In Italy, people in the south have always hated the north, and the same is true in football. Therefore, at the turn of the century, the rise of the two southern teams, Roma and Lazio, triggered a counterattack from the north with Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan. , these are all from the long-standing confrontation between the North and the South.

But for Conte, who is from the south, he has already integrated into the life of Turin in the north and Juventus. He has lived here for more than ten years, and he is willing to fight for the Bianconeri anytime and anywhere, and he must try best.

But he is getting old. Although he can work hard to maintain his condition, his physical fitness does not mean that he can maintain it if he wants to. It is impossible for a 35-year-old body to compare with a young man in his twenties. In [-], he has started to be more of a substitute, and Davis is the main midfielder.

This Dutch midfielder is definitely one of the best midfielders in the world today. No one knows his teammate better than Conte. Tacchinardi and others have never been able to replace Davis' role in this team.

This game is on Conte!

After conceding a goal not long after the start, Conte felt very depressed, and then followed the team to launch a round of fast-paced pounce on Ajax. Because he was in the midfield, Lippi's requirements for Conte were also capable. Therefore, during this period of fast-paced pounce, Conte ran a lot and quickly, and consumed a lot of energy.

Fortunately, when he couldn't hold on anymore, Lippi asked the team to take a break.

This made Conte feel relieved, not because he wanted to slack off and equalize the score, but because his body really couldn't keep up.

Football is different from other sports. Running back and forth on the football field requires more physical fitness, especially in fast-paced offense and defense. Fast back and forth running is simply a torture for people with slightly weaker physical fitness. In a few minutes, you can completely stop cooking.

As soon as he rested, Conte gasped heavily, his feet felt as if they had been filled with lead, they were very heavy, and he always felt sore in his muscles. They are already used to this.

Raising his head and looking at Nedved who was still running ahead, Conte couldn't help flashing a look of admiration. Now the whole team is probably only the Czech God of War who can run like this. Endless stamina.

Oh, there is also Davis, this guy is known as a wild boar, and his physical fitness is also very good. What's even more rare is that he is very good at cooperating with his teammates. He is not just a defender and destroyer in the fans' impression. I really don't understand why Lippi Just don't use him, let him sit on the bench to cool off.

But Nedved can't do it alone. When Juventus began to consciously want to slow down the rhythm, Nedved alone couldn't overturn the big waves in front, and soon fell into the trap of Mascherano and Among Arteta's double teams.

Conte also realized this for the first time, and immediately ran forward a few steps, obviously slower than when he was physically fit, but Nedved still saw him and immediately knocked the ball back.

Stopping the ball, Conte also wanted to observe the situation, but at this time Sneijder approached very quickly and ran over to make a press. Behind him was Ibrahimovic blocking the two central defenders and Between Conte.

Conte realized that Sneijder was not a good comer. He knew that he was not physically fit, and then scanned his right side out of the corner of his eye. Camoranesi had no one to defend, so he immediately passed to the right. The ball, but as soon as the ball was out of his control, Conte was shocked.

Because at the moment he just passed the ball, he saw Robben passing by Camoranesi quickly, intercepting the ball in advance, and making a vigorous move forward, and he also moved very quickly He chased up at a fast speed, and fought back directly on the spot.

Conte was so frightened that he didn't even think about it. He wanted to rush over to intercept Robben, but his legs couldn't move, and his speed couldn't get up at all. When he felt that he was catching up with Robben, he found that The ball was no longer under Robben's feet, and his teammate Thuram turned around and looked behind him blankly.

"Damn Ajax!!!" Conte cursed with a bit of a breakdown.

It turned out that after Robben intercepted and counterattacked on the spot, everyone in Juventus was taken aback, but the Dutchman dribbled the ball very fast and rushed to the front of the defense line. Thuram immediately went to the defense without hesitation. Go up to grab, but Robben made a diagonal pass to hit Montero's back.

Like a gust of wind, Van der Vaart was not polite to his good friend's reciprocity. After rushing past Montero, he made a fake move after getting the ball, and took advantage of the situation to deceive Buffon. He shot an empty goal with his left foot and succeeded, 2:0! ! !

The entire Arenal Stadium was completely turned into a sea of ​​celebration. Everyone knew clearly what this goal meant to Juventus, and it meant that they had fallen behind Ajak in total points. 3 goals, they have to chase 3 goals in a row to beat Ajax in the remaining time.

What a shocking super-reversal was that?

Facing this group of counterattacks so fast and sharply, can Ajax do it?

Even the well-informed and experienced Conte, when he saw Van der Vaart rushing past him with his arms raised in excitement, he couldn't help covering his face with a look of sadness, because this goal was just a goal. From his pass error, although he didn't mean it, but no one will care why he made the error.

The poor veteran was a little afraid to face his teammates, because he knew exactly what was waiting for Juventus next.

…………

…………

If the first goal made Lippi feel angry, then the second goal made Lippi more regretful.

Many people may think that this is Conte's fault, but Lippi knows very well that Conte is just his scapegoat.

If it was not Conte but Davis, such a scene should not have appeared. The Dutchman's physical fitness is better than Conte's.

After winning Davis, Juventus's midfield has always had problems of one kind or another. Perhaps to paraphrase a common saying, there are some players that you don't realize how useful he is when he is there, and you don't think How irreplaceable he is, but once you lose him, you will realize how useful he is.

Of course, Lippi continued to stubbornly refuse to admit his mistakes, because Juventus had a clear advantage in Serie A.

Perhaps it should be said that winning Davis is more for his own authority and for the overall situation, but if Davis is left alone, maybe Juventus can perform better and better in some key games, but for the Lippi's prestige is weakened.

The grievances between the two can be traced back to when Lippi returned to Juventus. The first thing Lippi did at that time was to change the team's tactics into 442. Considering the 442 midfield arrangement, he decided to take Dai Weiss, the Dutch were furious.

Afterwards, although Lippi made changes and played 4231 and 4312, there was no place for Davis in his team. At the beginning of this season, it was reported by the media that Davis almost died in the locker room. Lippi was beaten violently, and Lippi and the general manager Moji also declared that the Dutchman must be abolished as a warning to others.

It can be said that everyone now knows that Edgar Davis is leaving, and there is no shortage of teams interested in the Dutch wild boars. Italian teams such as Rome and Inter Milan all hope to get him, but Juventus is in There has been no let up on this issue, so Davis did not make it through the winter break in the end.

It's hard to say who is right and who is wrong in this kind of thing. Lippi wants to establish prestige, and Davis wants to be the main player. Both of them are based on their own interests and perspectives, and neither can say wrong. It can only be said that the two met a bit at odds.

Also because of this series of grievances, Lippi's remorse was just a flash. He didn't think that going to Davis could turn the situation around for the team, so remorse became a completely unnecessary move.

For the current Juventus, there is no retreat, Lippi and the team have only one choice, to attack in the second half!
But Ye Qiu obviously grasped Juventus's thoughts very precisely. After the team scored a goal, he didn't consider retreating at all. Instead, he continued to adopt a strong attack strategy against Juventus. On the one hand, he further attacked Juventus' morale, on the other hand, is to wear down the opponent's physical fitness and at the same time establish its own advantage.

Regarding Ye Qiu's plan, Lippi did not respond tit-for-tat. He chose to retreat temporarily, so Juventus began to consciously shrink their defense and let Ajax attack. The Bianconeri obviously planned to drag the score of 0:2 to half. The field is over.

But Lippi is also very clear that the second half is very, very difficult for Juventus, because they not only have to break through Ajax's goal and score 3 goals, but also have to beware of Ajax's counterattack, Ye Qiu There must be targeted arrangements for Juventus' counterattack.

It's very simple. The whole world knows that Juventus can only counterattack. If he doesn't know how to make targeted arrangements, then he is a fool.

In this unfavorable situation, the possibility of Juventus' reversal is extremely slim.

But now everyone on the team is relying on Lippi's breath, and they can't let it out if they are killed!
　Come on, brothers, the climax is about to usher in, let's smash the monthly pass! ! !
