I am Chuqiu Wang

Chapter 831 The Withering of the Tulip Kingdom
The goal silenced the Amsterdam stadium.

Although the Dutch are proud, it is precisely because of this pride that they have to shut up.

Although Dutch football is more about technology, this kind of free kick full of violent aesthetics also made these fans grow up.

Simply, not human.

No one would have thought that someone could replicate Carlos' goal in the Four Nations Invitational.

Even scientists from various countries believe that the goal is unscientific. For a long time, no reasonable explanation has been found.

So this is the charm of football, it is in response to the old saying that nothing is impossible on the pitch.

……

"Fuck, fuck, fuck...Jessie, you are fooled."

"Tell me, are you a stupid bastard?"

"This ball is too, too..."

"Brilliant!"

Metz's young people rushed up and surrounded the goal hero.

They were laughing and making noise.

At this time, the two commentators on British Sky TV broadcasting the game were extremely excited.

"Wilson!!!"

"Jesse Wilson!!!"

"Wilson hit a world wave at a distance of 44 meters from the goal. The ball drew a strange arc and broke the opponent's goal. The Ajax goalkeeper has not yet figured out why this goal was scored. Actually Me too, but I know it's a great goal!!!"

Carragher was not stingy with his praise, even though Wilson came through United's academy.

The Liverpool star is very optimistic about Wilson's future.

Wang Hao didn't slow down for a long time.

unscientific,
Yes,

He also believes that the field is full of miracles, but this goal is indeed very unscientific.

And the distance of this ball seems to be farther than that of Carlos.

Wilson really gave him a big surprise. That kid's free kick is not bad, but I really don't know that he has a long-distance free kick.

If it were Wang He himself, long-distance free kicks can indeed be played in this way, but more often they will be used in a similar way to Juninho.

The game restarted, and the coaches of both sides did not adjust their tactics, so the rhythm of the opening was still the same.

Conceding a goal did not affect Ajax's mentality.

Although they are giants in the Eredivisie, it is not uncommon for them to concede the ball first.

After all, in the Dutch First Division, the defensive system is not as important as the offensive system.

Therefore, the Ajax players have not suffered any blows. Usually, they will only concede the ball first in exchange for a more violent attack and stimulate their fighting spirit.

It is not a problem to concede the ball first, as long as you score more goals than the opponent.

"Ajax are really motivated," he said.

"Yes, I didn't expect that after conceding the ball, they not only did not remain cautious, but strengthened the press. The game will be more exciting if it becomes like this. I beg you will be very happy."

The two sides began a confrontational battle.

However, Metz still focuses on controlling the rhythm of the game.

Now the team's tactics belong to the second stage in Wang He's mind.

The first stage is naturally the tactics from last season to the first half of this season.

Mainly based on fast counterattack, concise and sharp offense and resolute defense, and does not pay much attention to ball possession.

The current stage is to allow the team to gradually control the ball, and use control instead of defense to take the initiative of the game.

Of course there will be a third stage, and the third stage will be powerful.When the time comes, you can move freely, go fast if you want to go fast, and go slow if you want to slow down.

This is why he insists on using the ball-based tactics, because Wang He has already thought about the team's next step.

Ajax coach, Van der Vaart is a little worried.

Because he always felt that today's game was not as simple as before. Usually, the main reason for dominating the Netherlands in the Netherlands is because of the overall ability of the team.

But at this time of the game, he found that Ajax's force was not very effective.

High pressing is a very energy-consuming tactic.

Basically, it is to exchange physical fitness for offensive opportunities.

Use continuous running to cause the opponent's mistakes or successful steals, and launch a counterattack on the spot to catch the opponent by surprise.

But all the foundations are to cause the opponent to panic, and now Metz's ability to control the ball has greatly exceeded his expectations.

So the former Ajax captain's complexion was not very good, and his frown could not be relieved.

Fortunately, Ajax did not disappoint him too much.

In the 36th minute of the game, they finally scored and equalized the score.

Ajax's new captain, the talented midfielder Van der Hoo, retreated and took the ball to the left quickly.

After continuously cooperating with his teammates, the left winger Aishania Stambowski unexpectedly used a quick kick to pass the ball to the right.

Because Metz's defensive attention was on the left, their goal was easy this time.

The winger on the right stepped in and easily kicked the ball into the goal.

After the score was equalized, the two teams became more cautious. Until the end of the first half, the score was still 1:1.

……

"Boys, I am not satisfied with your performance today,"

"You gave Ajax too much space. Can't you guarantee defense while attacking? The most important thing is that your offense has not had any effect."

"However, there is good news. Their physical consumption was more serious than ours in the first half, and there will be more opportunities in the second half. I hope you can take advantage of them as much as possible, instead of wasting like the first half."

"I still want to emphasize one point, that is defense, don't give the opponent so many opportunities in the second half."

"Kay, you didn't create enough pressure on the wing. Tostan went to the right to give you a left position, but I didn't see your role at all. In the second half, you have to play more aggressively. .”

"Okay, head." Little Pang nodded.

"Torstein you have the same problem, although I know you are not used to the right wing, but I believe you are a very smart player, that's why I let you change to this position. Don't always take mediocre players to ask yourself , you should demand yourself with higher goals, I hope your performance will improve in the second half."

The German players are still very obedient, and Muller nodded to show that he knew.

"I know you always think it's okay to win, and it's okay not to lose, but I tell you that in my career, especially during the period at Manchester United, our team didn't adapt to the team, Ferguson The Jazz always put higher demands on us. I don’t think you are worse than my teammates at the time, so don’t always think that you are just a player from a mid-level Ligue [-] team. The higher the demands I have on you, you guys The higher the goals you customize, the higher your achievements will be in the end, and few players who always relax their requirements will end well, understand?"

"understood!"

The voices of the players were loud, but Wang Hao still found that there were a few players who seemed not interested in what he said.

This is impossible, after all, everyone has their own thoughts, and he is not a circus animal trainer.In a team, you can't ask everyone to have the same thinking, but as long as the attitude of most players is positive, those players who have different opinions will not express their opinions, and the whole group is positive In the atmosphere, the small group of people can be influenced subtly. Except for the most stubborn hedonists, most players will become fighting spirit.

People are the easiest to adapt to the environment, and also the easiest to be changed by the environment, so Wang Huo attaches great importance to the psychological aspects of the team.

A positive team, even if it loses, is better than a negative team that often wins.

Although hard work in football does not necessarily pay off, a positive team will achieve results sooner or later.

……

In the second half, the two sides switched sides and fought again. Ajax still maintained a strong desire to attack at home.

Metz showed a very good defensive ability today. Since switching to a 433 formation and the thickness of the midfield has increased a lot, it is not so easy for opponents to threaten Metz's defense.

Especially after the physical fitness of Ajax's players declined and began to show fatigue, Metz's possession tactics became even more advantageous.

The biggest advantage of using control instead of defense is that it can reduce physical energy consumption and increase the opponent's physical energy consumption.

If the opponent doesn't want to watch the ball being controlled all the time, they can only come up to press, and pressing requires physical strength.

Isn't that classic moving picture of the Spanish national derby that Ronaldo is being walked by a Barcelona player?
Pass control tactics are not so easy to crack. For example, Real Madrid at the time did not have a good solution, let alone Ajax now.

In the 51st minute, Ajax only got the ball for the first time in the second half.

But they still showed excellent technical skills.

After passing the ball several times in a row, Barbosa, who was holding the ball on the right, made an extraordinary move. His calf suddenly exerted strength, smashed the ball into the penalty area, and then pulled it back again, but his feet were too sticky to the ball. Well, although Wilson's defensive ability is a bit poor, he is not a player who can be bullied wantonly.

Successfully judged Barbosa's movement, he stretched his foot ahead of time and completed the steal.

After that, Metz's counterattack followed like a shadow.

This time Wilson didn't dribble the ball himself, because he found a chance in the frontcourt. Ajax's attack was too high. He didn't even pass the ball to his teammates in the midfield, but he took the ball with a big foot. Turned right.

This kick was relatively forward, but Muller still easily stopped the ball under his feet.The next set of procedures is very simple. There is only one defender in the penalty area of ​​Ajax. After Muller hits the bottom, Kruse in front of the goal with an inverted triangle pass easily succeeds and rewrites the score.

Wang Hao couldn't help but nodded. This was exactly what he expected. Ajax's physical energy consumption was too high, and they focused on offense, so they couldn't come back, leaving a gap for Metz.

The best situation now is to adjust the tactics and not concede the ball again.

He glanced sideways at Van der Vaart, the former Premier League opponent had already called the substitutes to warm up.

But Wang Hao saw that all the players he called were offensive players.

This is obviously irrational.

In the current situation, Ajax has made it clear that they are at a disadvantage. They should base themselves on defense and then look for opportunities.

If we continue to play against each other, I am afraid that we will lose by a big score at home today.

But this has nothing to do with Wang Ji, he is not the coach of Ajax.

He still admires this kind of backbone who would rather die standing than live on his knees, but it is absolutely irrational.

Instead, he must definitely strengthen the team's defense and see if he can find a chance to equalize the score. Even if he does not equalize the score, he must strive to stop conceding the ball and seek a comeback in the second round.

The UEFA Europa League has reached the semi-finals and the final is only one step away. In this case, it is better to be conservative and more utilitarian.

After all, it is true to win the championship. The so-called good-looking football is just that. After Ajax, Arsenal is the most famous for beautiful football. Just look at the situation of Arsenal.

Wang He thought that Van der Vaart would be more rational, but he did not expect that he actually made two matchups, and the substitutions were all offensive players. It seemed that he was unwilling to lose at home, and even wanted to win the game After all, due to the existence of the away goal rule, it is a bit of a loss for a tie at home, or even a small victory at home, but the opponent also scores, and they may be out because of this.

It is not that UEFA did not have the idea of ​​​​moving the away goal rule before. They changed more rules, but it affected the excitement of the game, and it also affected the ratings and the sponsorship they received.Those bureaucrats are very sensitive to money, so they quickly changed back.

Just as Wang Hao thought, the substitution did not bring any benefits to Ajax, and their physical disadvantage has indeed become their weakness.

In the 67th minute, Wilson made an assist from the left to the frontcourt and cooperated with Rooney and went to the penalty area. A strong shot was blocked by the opposing defender with his foot.

However, the ball did not leave the dangerous area. Muller from the right shoveled the ball into the goal.

3: 1.

Metz's scoring luck did not end there, and the corner kick that he is not very good at usually came out to join in the fun. After 7 minutes, Kruse's long-range shot was pushed out of the crossbar by the Ajax goalkeeper. Metz won a corner kick .

After the corner kick was taken, there was chaos in the Ajax penalty area.

Jesse Smith, who came up to participate in the attack, took advantage of the chaos and poked the ball into the goal.

The score of 4:1 basically declared Ajax's death sentence.

Although there are many shocking reversals in the history of the Champions League, even Barcelona has been the background board many times.

But it is unlikely that Metz's style is very stable.

As the game drew to a close, in stoppage time, in the last minute, Kruse's header completely killed the suspense of the second round, announcing that Metz had entered the Champions League final in advance.

With a score of 5:1, the second round of the match was already a formality.

When the whistle blew for the end of the game, the Ajax players lay on the floor, tears streaming down their faces.

They thought that they might lose, but they didn't expect such a shame to lose.

Under fair competition, they lost a 5:1, which made these proud Dutch players somewhat unacceptable.
