The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 20 Let It Go

I forgot which scholar and expert said that society is the best teacher of talents.

The same principle is put on the football field, the game is the best teacher for the players.

Killed two powerful opponents in a row, especially the Going Eagles who defeated the Dutch second league in the Dutch Cup, which brought a huge boost to the morale of the second team, especially the hearts of this group of boys. Energetic, full of fighting spirit, even on the training ground, when the training is carried out, it is full of power.

Only Abidal was the only one. This French kid didn't look very energetic. Even though Ye Qiu promised that he would continue to play games and start, he still looked sluggish.

But Ye Qiu didn't have the energy to pay attention to him anymore at this moment, because he was full of headaches now.

The draw for the round of 16 knockout rounds of the Dutch Cup actually drew PSV. How will this game be played?
What kind of team is PSV Eindhoven?
This season, the Eredivisie League is the only team that remains undefeated. The average goal rate is as high as 3. The 088 league games have conceded 12 goals so far. In the European group stage, they can compete with Bayern Munich, Valencia and other top European teams fight to the death with a tyrannical team. What kind of existence does such a team have for the Ajax second team?

Not to mention the second team of Ajax, even if it is the first team, if they encounter Eindhoven, they will probably have to put their tails between their legs!

"Damn it, how do you play this kind of game?" Ye Qiu looked worried.

Finally, when the training was over, Ye Qiu passed the news to Roland and Rick Link, and the two guys almost hanged themselves as if they had killed their little wives.

The three big men gathered together in Ye Qiu's office, looking at me, I looked at you, nothing happened.

"I'm going out to relax!" Ye Qiu didn't like the atmosphere here, so he turned around and left.

De Tokmoster said it was not big, walked up and down, and walked to the medical department.

"Wow, did you see that Dr. Huang is so beautiful!"

"That's right, compared to her, those female stars are not even worthy of carrying her shoes!"

"I said, did you deliberately pretend to be sick to see her?"

"Hey, don't you too?"

As soon as he arrived at the corner, Ye Qiu heard people talking in the distance, needless to say, it must be a group of perverts.

Walking into the medical department, Ye Qiu saw that Fan Dude and Huang Chu were both busy. There was a white-haired old man sitting on the sofa in the reception area of ​​the office. It's too much.

"Hello, Mr. Harms!" Ye Qiu walked over and sat down opposite the old man.

"Hello, Ye Qiu!" The Dutch old man raised his head and greeted with a smile.

The man in front of him is Bobby Harms, an old man who has devoted his whole life to Ajax.

He was a player of Ajax when he was young. After retiring, he served as a youth team coach at Ajax, and later climbed all the way to the assistant coach of the first team, and he also has a nickname inside Ajax, which is called Super. bobby.

The reason why he is described in this way is that no matter how Ajax’s head coach changes, he will always be an assistant coach. Many people have even said that Van Gaal can successfully manage Ajax for the second time, and Winning a relaxed environment is because his assistant is the Bobby Harms in front of him.

However, Ye Qiu had met Harms a few times at Van Dude's place, and he didn't think there was anything special about this kind old man.

"What? You seem to have something on your mind?" Bobby? Harms was a smart person, and he could tell Ye Qiu's mind at a glance.

"Worried about the game against PSV?"

"You know?" Ye Qiu was a little surprised. He only heard about it from Van Prager before the training session.

Harms smiled, "It's not a secret, but..." He paused intentionally, and looked at Ye Qiu, "Everyone is not optimistic about you. I heard that after the lottery, the lottery company will offer you The handicap is two goals from Eindhoven!"

"What the hell, what?" Ye Qiu shook his head, there was really nothing he could do about it.

"I don't gamble, otherwise, I would definitely vote..." Seeing Ye Qiu's eyes pay attention, the Dutch old man laughed loudly, "I will definitely vote for Eindhoven, they will definitely win!"

"Who said winning is guaranteed?" Ye Qiu gave him an angry look, "I don't believe it, the game hasn't been played yet, so what a fart he won!"

"Then you still looked disheartened just now?" Bobby Harms asked with a smile.

Ye Qiu seemed to argue, but finally gave up, "I'm human, but it doesn't mean I'll admit defeat!"

Bobby Harms nodded, "Then how are you going to fight?"

From the third round to the fourth round, there was a one-month interval in between, whether it was long or short, and Ye Qiu still had a youth league game to play, so there wasn't much real preparation time.

"I don't have any ideas yet, but our Chinese grandson's art of war has a saying, knowing yourself and your enemy, you can win a hundred battles without danger, I still need to know about Eindhoven first!" Ye Qiu's first thought was Fanny.

This guy's scoring rate is too high. He scored 12 goals in 15 league games. Fuck me, he is simply a scoring machine.

"Actually, you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself. You know, sometimes the more this kind of game that everyone thinks is lost, the more likely the opponent will be slack, and the disadvantaged side will have a better chance of being upset. So, you still have hope, it's just a little bit slimmer!"

Ye Qiu was patted twice on the shoulder by Harms, and he raised his head to look at the old man, "Are you trying to comfort me, or to add insult to injury?"

"I'm telling the truth!" Harms laughed.

Ye Qiu has nothing to do with him, so he can only let him go.

"In my opinion, we still have to play a defensive counterattack, or even a defensive counterattack!" Ye Qiu thought for a while, and felt that there were not many opportunities to take the initiative to attack, not to mention that Eindhoven's three lines are full of powerful talents. Let's just talk about the offense of this team, with the strength of the Ajax second team, it is estimated that they will be shot as soon as they take the lead.

"It's not enough to stick to it. Eindhoven's midfield is very threatening, especially Van Bommel and Vogel!" Harms reminded.

Ye Qiu also felt that this was the real difficulty, because they had a lot of attack points and the threat of attack was too great.

"Oh, by the way, it seems that your first team will also meet PSV Eindhoven, right?" Ye Qiu thought about the schedule.

Hams nodded, but didn't say anything. He was obviously not willing to discuss the upcoming blockbuster match between the first team and Eindhoven. However, many people now feel that Ajax has Challenge the strength of Eindhoven.

"Think about it yourself, but I can tell you that every team, no matter how strong it is, will have loopholes and dead spots. Find out the Achilles heel and use it!"

Ye Qiu nodded towards Harms, who left immediately.

He and Van Doud are both former stars and staff who have played for Ajax for many years, so the two are close friends.

"I'm leaving too!" After Harms left, Ye Qiu also left.

Huang Chu just stopped, and was about to walk over to talk to Ye Qiu, but was greeted by Ye Qiu's leaving back.

Just now, Fan Dude said that this is a game that everyone will lose, so she can somewhat understand how depressed Ye Qiu is at this moment.

But she couldn't do anything for him, so she could only sigh softly.

…………

…………

Lying in his room, Ye Qiu browsed and searched around in the shop of the Godfather Cultivation System.

He has already decided to defend this game against PSV, but how to defend it is very particular.

In his memory, the best defense is of course the Serie A team, but the problem is that the classic Serie A game reviews and tactical analysis listed in the store are all based on the premise of similar strength, or close, At the very least, it must be the lower level of Serie A to the upper level of Serie A.

Then he found the 2010 match where Mourinho led Inter Milan against Van Gaal's Bayern Munich in the Champions League final, but he also felt that it was not suitable. Strictly speaking, this was a contest of equal strength to some extent. , It's just that Mourinho is on the defensive.

As for the match between Inter Milan and Barcelona, ​​​​it is also not good. Eindhoven is not a ball-holding team like Barcelona at all, but Inter Milan's tactics are based on Barcelona's arrangement.

To put it simply, the real threat of Barcelona's ball possession type 433 is the possession of the ball in front of the 30-meter area. Inter Milan is making a fuss about this, but Eindhoven does not have so many ball possession and threats. It is useless to continue to use Inter Milan's method, and it may lose even worse.

With the second team to challenge the quasi-championship team, there are not many such precedents in the history of European leagues, right?
Ye Qiu specially gathered some PSV Eindhoven game videos and materials from the Ajax archives this season. He felt that the current PSV team is really balanced, and it can be said that there is almost nothing too obvious. loopholes.

For example, their front line has three forwards, including Van Nistelrooy, Nelis is the former top scorer in the Netherlands, and Brookingk is also very strong in scoring. These three players form an effective rotation to ensure that Egypt Indhoven has been able to remain competitive on multiple fronts.

There is Van Bommel in the middle of the midfield, and Vogel. This midfielder will be introduced by AC Milan in the summer of 2005 because of his outstanding performance in Eindhoven, but he failed to play in the Rossoneri. But from this point it is not difficult to see how good this player is, and he is also the source of creativity in Eindhoven's midfield.

If Eindhoven's midfielder is very strong, then Eindhoven's winger is placed in the Eredivisie, it is definitely the devil's wings, Korka and Romedal, both of them are very fast One player is good at one-on-one breakthroughs, the other is good at finding opportunities to cut into the penalty area, one left and one right, which is frightening.

Heintze, Nikiforov, Faber, van der Weyden, Oyer, Bouma and other famous players sit on the defense line, and their defensive strength is beyond doubt. Wen's lineup is definitely the strongest in the Netherlands.

In Ye Qiu's view, against a powerful opponent like Eindhoven, Ajax cannot compete in terms of strength, morale, and confidence. It's time to make a fuss at the tactical level.

After all, PSV Eindhoven is the most powerful contender for the Eredivisie title, and Ajax [-] is regarded as a weak team that is sure to lose. If Ye Qiu finds the right opportunity, deploys targeted tactics, and then lets go If you give it a try, you may still have a chance.

That's why Ye Qiu looked around to strengthen the defensive formation. Only by stabilizing the defense would he have a chance to fight.

But after looking around in the store, I have been unable to find anything that can help.

Just when Ye Qiu was feeling disheartened, he suddenly saw a book.

Not just a myth!

The subtitle is: On the 2004 European Cup champion Greece's defense!
The appearance of this book made Ye Qiu's eyes light up.

People are always very forgetful. Even though Ye Qiu has been watching football for many years, he really couldn't tell him the details of that game in 2004. But when he read this book, He has an impression.

In the 2004 European Cup, the Greek team led by Rehagel went all the way and became the darkest dark horse in the history of the European Cup. They lost twice to the host Portugal, drew with Spain and the Czech Republic, and beat France by one goal.

It can be said that in that European Cup, Greece's performance was a typical miracle of defeating the strong with the weak. Not only that, but the overall defensive concept presented by the Greek team in this European Cup is even more profound. Influenced countless professional head coaches.

Rehhagel's team faced France, Portugal, and Spain. They were also at a comprehensive disadvantage and disadvantage, but they relied on their own tenacity and integrity to insist on building the team into a monolithic team. There is no way to start.

This is also very suitable for Ye Qiu's current situation!
If you want to play against a team like Eindhoven, you have only one choice, which is to reduce your mistakes as much as possible, and then wait for your opponent to make mistakes, otherwise you will never have a chance!

"Emperor Otto, it's up to you!" Ye Qiu decided to give it a go.

I directly spent 10 bonus points to buy this book by Rehagel, which not only contains Rehagel's own construction of the overall football, defensive system and counterattack system, but also every time he coached the Greek team. The analysis of the gains and losses of a game, the summary and comments of each process.

It can be said that Ye Qiu is not at a loss if he buys these with 10 reward points. The most important thing is to be able to fully digest the contents of this book, otherwise, it will be useless at all.

So, in the next few days, apart from presiding over the team's training, Ye Qiu spent day and night studying Rehhagel's masterpiece, studying it very carefully and earnestly. Yes, he will either discuss it with Rick Link and Roland, or read the relevant books by himself, until he understands it.

Seeing Ye Qiu working so hard, Huang Chu knew that there was nothing he could do to help him. He just prepared three meals a day for him, so that he would not have to worry about the future and could devote himself to the preparation for this match.

Time passed day by day, very quickly.

After Ye Qiu's second team won the second Nijmegen team and the Going Eagles successively, their morale was like a rainbow. They won three consecutive victories in a row in the Youth League One. The point gap between the leaders has been shortened to 4 points, and the ranking in the league has also been promoted to third place. Finally, they have regained hope of winning the championship.

However, unlike the second team led by Ye Qiu, which had great morale and won consecutive games, Waters' first team was in trouble.

After two weeks of national team competition, in the 13th round of the Eredivisie, Ajax played against Roda JC at home. He directly swallowed Roda JC in one breath, but unexpectedly, Roda JC in the away game did not give up too much. As soon as he came up, he turned against the guest and beat Ajax by surprise.

In just 25 minutes of the opening, Roda JC completely stunned Ajax with two goals.

Although Waters actively adjusted the team afterwards, and even played four forwards in one breath, including Brian Laudrup, Glenshire, Mahlas and Averazze, and wanted to reverse the situation, but In the end, they lost a 1:2 at the Arena, gradually widening the gap with Eindhoven in front.

For this game, Waters explained that it was an accident. He believed that the national team game seriously affected Ajax's formation, which was the main reason for his loss in this game, but he felt that this Just an accident, there will be no next time.

But just before Waters' voice completely disappeared, a week later, the first team challenged Alkmaar away.

Maheras' goal in the first half helped Ajax take the lead, but after the second half, Alkmaar launched a counterattack and frequently played effective offensives, which brought a lot of trouble to Ajax's defense. .

In the precarious situation of the defense line, Waters did not make the necessary adjustments, but was eager to win. He wanted to use Alkmaar's mentality to catch the opponent by surprise, and chose to continue to strengthen the offense when changing players.

The problems on the defensive line were completely exposed afterwards. Romanian central defender Kivu made two mistakes, allowing Alkmaar to score two goals in a row. He successfully reversed Ajax at home and won a difficult 2:1 victory.

After suffering a two-game losing streak, Ajax's ranking quickly fell to 5th.

At the same time, in the UEFA Cup, Ajax entered the UEFA Cup round of 32 knockout rounds after passing the Slovak League Bistrica and the Israeli League Haifa Workers. In the two rounds of the match, they suffered two complete defeats of 0:1 and 0:2.

Ajax fans throughout Amsterdam were outraged, and they all needed an explanation from Waters for their recent losing streak.

Waters also gave a seemingly reasonable explanation on the second day, that is, he sent the Romanian central defender Kivu, who made several mistakes in the game, to the youth team. The explanation was that his condition was very bad and he should go to the youth team. team to adjust.

However, everyone including the players in the first team knows that this 19-year-old Romanian young central defender has become a scapegoat for Waters, and the players in the first team are also starting to feel insecure about who will be the next scapegoat ?

Many newspapers in the Netherlands also blamed Waters for his actions. Even the Amsterdam Evening Post felt that if Waters could not win the opponent in the first match against Eindhoven in December, or If it is to prevent the team's two-game losing streak, then he will leave the position of Ajax head coach.

Regarding the comments from the outside world, chairman Van Prager stood up to support the head coach. He said that the team will continue to support Waters' coaching, and he will continue to trust Waters.

But how many people would believe what was said on such a scene?
