The midfield king of football life

Chapter 108 109 battle against Ajax (1)

After a depressing away loss to Venlo in the last round, all Feyenoord players were brutally trained by Coach Koeman for 3 days.Klassie and Indy were miserable, and they were slandering in their hearts.

The 3 points that were supposed to win the game, turned out to be 1 point, and Coach Koeman was also very depressed.Originally scored 3 points, they had the same 4 points as Ajax, who ranked fourth, but now they lost 34 points, not to mention losing 3 points. There is a difference of 6 points inside and outside.This made Coach Koeman angry for 3 days and didn't recover.

But the media in Rotterdam, Amsterdam and even the whole of the Netherlands have already made a lot of noise about this duel.

Although Feyenoord failed against the relegated team Venlo, this does not affect Feyenoord's status in the hearts of fans in the Rotterdam area.In their hearts, Feyenoord still has the strength to challenge the Eredivisie champions.Before Feyenoord defeated the last Eredivisie champion Twente at home, and drew the last Eredivisie champion Ajax away, this is a manifestation of strength.Therefore, the theme slogan of the media in Rotterdam for Feyenoord is to shoot down Ajax's Eredivisie crown.

The sports media in Amsterdam used the slogan "Revenge" for Ajax, which means that Ajax will take revenge on the away game this time.

At the Feyenoord training ground, coach Koeman stopped all media from conducting pre-match interviews.There are still three days left, and today Coach Koeman will take the players for the last tactical drill.

"What does the game on the 29th mean? I think everyone has a bottom line in their hearts. If we continue to lose this game, we will fall out of the championship. So first of all, everyone must be clear that this game must be won for us. If you beat Ajax, your value in the eyes of some scouts will naturally increase. So, no matter from which point of view, we must go all out for this game, understand?" Coach Koeman said sternly.

"Understood!!!!" All the team members replied in unison.

Everyone has a proud heart. They will never admit that they are worse than others, and they will always want to trample their stronger opponents under their feet.

"The last time we were able to draw with Ajax in the away game was because they were distracted by the Champions League, and this time Ajax can concentrate on the league. So they will go all out for this game. Ajax's offense is one of the best in the Eredivisie league, but our defense is not. So our tactics in this game are offense instead of defense." Coach Koeman said.

"In addition, in view of Ajax's terrifying midfield configuration, our two full-backs, Switz and Nerome, you must actively advance forward, so that Li Feng and Bicevas can be liberated in their original positions, so that they can advance more and support the firepower in the frontcourt. The same is true for Bacal, who has the opportunity to advance forward and assist." Coach Koeman added.

Then, Coach Koeman arranged for two groups of players to fight in actual combat. One group formed a 451 formation according to Ajax's formation, and the other group was Feyenoord's 433 formation.

During the confrontation drill, coach Koeman repeatedly asked Li Feng that after the two full-backs came up, he and Bicevas would move forward and put as much effort into the attacking process as possible without worrying about the back.

Li Feng is also constantly adjusting and adapting to what Coach Koeman said.He feels that his position is like Real Madrid's Ozil this season, close to the position of the midfielder.In the ensuing confrontation, Li Feng started to break through after receiving the ball, attracting the opponent's attention, and then opened the gap for his teammates, and then used the simplest and most direct pass to tear the opponent's defense.After a confrontation, the effect was obvious. Li Feng sent 4 assists, Klassey scored 1 goal, Goodetti scored 2 goals, and G Fernandez scored [-] goal.

Although the strength of the players against Ajax is far from that of Ajax players, it proves that this style of play is effective and feasible.

On the other side, Ajax coach De Boer is also making tactical arrangements for the players. No matter from which position, Ajax's lineup is much stronger than Feyenoord, especially in the midfield.

Ajax's midfielders Eriksen, Jensen, and Sim de Jong are all talented midfielders.Suleimani, Blikin, and Sig Thorsen are also very good shooters on the forward line.

For Ajax's head coach De Boer, as long as Ajax can play their due strength, defeating Feyenoord is no problem at all.

Therefore, De Boer did not make too many plans in terms of tactical arrangements, but only made corresponding defensive strategies for Feyenoord's offensive points.

Feyenoord's attack point is nothing more than the trident in the frontcourt, and the initiator of the attack is usually Li Feng.

"Einault, your task is to keep an eye on that young player named Li Feng. Don't underestimate him. He has a wide field of vision and can deliver a Pirlo-like long pass." Ajax coach De Boer said to his disciples.

"Yes, I understand!!!" Einuo responded, but he was still a little contemptuous in his heart, after all, Li Feng was still a fledgling young man.

"In addition, Vertonghen and Alderweireld, I don't need to talk about the task of your defense. You should be familiar with the three attackers in Feyenoord's frontcourt, and you should have had a contest last time. I won't say more about the others. It is your task to limit them during the game." De Boer said slowly.

As the time draws near, the tickets for Feyenoord's match against Ajax have long been sold out, and some scalpers outside have already fired up tickets for this match to 1000 euros.

Li Feng still obtained a few tickets for this game in advance by applying to the club, and sent them to the Bilallian brothers and sisters according to the old habit.Li Feng's mother and Uncle Thomas also got tickets, but Chen Shihan didn't need tickets. This was her special treatment as a manager.

On January 1th, on this day, the Feyenoord Stadium was overcrowded early on, and the water was blocked.The entire Olympia Avenue was full of fans who came to watch the game, and they could only drive slowly along the narrow passage to the parking lot of the stadium.Because both sides of the road are fans from near Rotterdam who come to watch the football.Of course, there are also a large part of the fans who support Ajax.

The game has not yet started, and the fans of the two teams outside the stadium are already full of gunpowder.After all, this is the second national derby of the Eredivisie this season. Apart from the national derby, the Eredivisie is more attractive.All the focus is on this game, because there was no winner in the last national derby. Of course, the fans have high hopes for this game.
