The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 118 Van der Sar's Fatal Weakness
Obviously, Gretz's belief is not as firm as Ye Qiu's!

This directly led to the belief that the Eindhoven players were not as firm as the Ajax players, and the execution of tactics on the court was not decisive enough for the Ajax players. This allowed the Ajax players to successfully complete the game. A game of his own.

Eindhoven's starting lineup for this game is goalkeeper Waterrus, the defense line from left to right is Bouma, Nikiforov, Hovland and Oye, and the four midfielders are from left to right They are Kezhimann, Van Bommel, Vogel and Romedal, and the double forwards are Brooking and Hesselink.

Gretz's preparations before the entire season were run-in around this main lineup, and their warm-up results were also very good, including a 7-0 victory over their opponents. Said that the strength of the opponents in the warm-up match is obviously different from that of Ajax's opponents in the warm-up match. It is not 01:30 points.

But on the whole, Eindhoven's running-in is still in place.

Ajax's starting lineup for this game is Van der Sar, the defense is Abidal, Kivu, Lucio and Maicon, and the three midfielders are Keita and Gilberto Silva And Sneijder, the front trident is Robben, Huntelaar and Van der Meyde.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic had a cold and fever the day before the game, while Van der Vaart suffered a slight injury during training. Both players were absent from the game, so Ye Qiu's starting lineup sent On Huntelaar and Van der Meyde.

But the substitution of forward and right winger did not affect Ajax's overall tactics.

At the beginning of this game, Ajax took the initiative to attack and use their own skilled tactics to actively press and press PSV, especially the suppression of the center and front field, which was carried out very resolutely. Eindhoven's defense had to retreat steadily, while Ajax took advantage of the trend to push the defense forward to form a high defense.

After the defensive line moved forward, Ajax's control over the game became stronger. In addition, the two forwards of Eindhoven, whether it is Brooking or Hesselink, are not the speed type. Players, the so-called twin towers still need players who can take the ball from both sides and let them play a role in the penalty area, so that they can form a threat, but now Ajax has pressed the defense line into the middle circle area, how do they pose a threat?
Gretz has experienced Ye Qiu's high defense, and he also thought about using Kežman's speed to threaten Ajax's back, but the right corridor formed by Van der Meyde and Maicon suppressed Eindhoo on offense. Wen's left, especially Van der Meyde's suppression of Bauma, completely isolated Kezhiman in the frontcourt.

As for the left, Romedal met his old enemy Abidal, and the former was as soft as ever.

After completing this series of layouts, Ajax completely controlled the game, and the goal came naturally.

When the game progressed to the 14th minute, Van der Meyde made a breakthrough on the right side of Ajax and made a pass. For Huntelaar with his own strength, he would never let go of such a god-given opportunity, and snatched a point to penetrate Waterus' goal.

The Netherlands No. [-] had to fish the ball out of the goal line before kicking it angrily into midfield.

But just 10 minutes later, Eindhoven once again announced that the goal was lost. This time, Vogel missed Sneijder. At the front of the penalty area, Gilberto Silva's iron tree was blooming, and the incoming ball was a heavy artillery, which pierced PSV's goal again, 2:0!

Two goals in a row completely destroyed the fighting spirit and morale of the Eindhoven players. Gretz sat in the coach's bench even more depressed, with a helpless expression on his face, not knowing how to accept such a situation.

After scoring two goals in a row, Ajax obviously slowed down their offensive, especially PSV's frontcourt pressing was not enough, making Ajax's triangular area dominated by Van der Sar, Lucio and Kivu , Coupled with the pair of horns of Maicon and Abidal, the possession of the ball in the backcourt is very smooth, and the support for the frontcourt is very strong.

Entering the halftime break with a score of 2:0, all the players were happy with the score and the situation, but Ye Qiu threw a bucket of cold water on everyone.

"In our Chinese history of more than 5000 years, there are countless profound lessons, one of which is to be prepared for danger in times of peace!"

"When you think that you are sure of everything, and that everything is evolving and developing as you wish, then what you should do at this time is not to celebrate, nor to be careless, but to Be careful, because it is often at this time that you are the most vulnerable and weakest!"

"And your enemies, especially the more dangerous ones, are more likely to choose to launch a deadly attack when you are weakest!"

Ye Qiu's reminder really came true in the second half.

After the intermission, even if Eindhoven is a clay figurine, he will be aroused by Gretz for a three-pointer. What's more, they are the Eredivisie champions for two consecutive seasons, and they are also the number one team in Europe. Such a broken jar?

At the beginning of the second half, Ajax was in a situation of being completely passive and beaten, but after Ye Qiu's reminder, Ajax's defense was arranged in an orderly manner, especially Fan, who was wearing the captain's armband for the first time in an official game. Desa.

The Dutch goalkeeper, who performed poorly for Juventus last season, once returned to Ajax, and once he returned to the Arenaa, he brought a wonderful performance to the fans.

First, in the 52nd minute, Romedal made a breakthrough from the right and made a pass. In the penalty area, Lucio and Hesselink competed for the header. The Brazilian central defender grabbed the first point and firmly stuck the position. Leaped high and cleared with a header.

However, under the interference of Hesse Linke, Lucio's header was not strong enough to clear the siege, and it slowly fell to the front of the penalty area. Van Bommel, who inserted in the back, saw the timing and met the ball with a strong kick from the outside of the penalty area. volley.

This shot is very powerful, and the angle is on the left side. It is obviously aimed at the shot that Van der Sar just shot to the right of the goal in order to defend Hesselink.

But Van der Sar seemed to have judged Van Bommel's angle in advance, and the whole person quickly ran to the left, firmly grabbing the ball before it arrived, and pushed the fast-flying ball to the ground with both hands.

Van Bommel's heavy artillery was pushed by Van der Sar with both hands, and immediately changed direction. After the touchdown rebound, Van der Sar grabbed it in his hand, very steady, and Van der Sar's wonderful save also won the goal. There was a burst of cheers from the Ajax fans who could see clearly from behind.

But soon, there was another cross from Romedal from the right. The latter was very active after the start of the second half and repeatedly made threats. The front of the small penalty area got a chance to shake his head and attack the goal before Lucio.

In order to create a threat, Hesselink's header deliberately rebounded and bounced after touching the ground, but Van der Sar seemed to have made a prediction in advance, and stood firmly in his position. After the landing point of the ball and the direction of the bounce, he immediately flew to make a save and blocked the ball with one hand.

After the whole person fell to the ground, Van der Sar had lost the ability to save again. Fortunately, Kivu's big foot made a clearance in time, which saved Ajax's conceded goal crisis.

Ye Qiu, standing on the sidelines, applauded Van der Sar's wonderful save this time. It was indeed a very difficult save.

Sometimes, fans watch the live broadcast on TV, and they can't see the whole process. They can only follow the camera and the ball forever, but they can't notice the players' actions at all, but the head coach can.

There is a saying in the field of head coaches that the most important ability to judge a goalkeeper is not his height or his goalkeeping skills, but his positioning, which is the sense of position that many people call.

If a goalkeeper has a good sense of position, then the shots that appear in the eyes of the fans will be that the opponent's players almost all kick towards the goalkeeper's arms. Wherever the goalkeeper is, they will shoot wherever they are, so they will Will complain about the shooter being so bad.

But if you think about it carefully, they are all professional players. Don't they even know the minimum position of the goalkeeper before shooting?
Wrong, they know that they must be staring at the goalkeeper's position to kick, but the problem is that when they kick or after, the movement of the goalkeeper makes their shot useless.

Just like when Van Bommel saw the ball flying towards him, he also saw Van der Sar standing on the right side. At this time, Van der Sar also saw the ball flying towards Van Bommel. The positions of each other are clear at the same time, and at this time Van Bommel decided to play on the left side, and Van der Sar judged that his left side was exposed.

So, when Van Bommel was about to hit the goal, Van der Sar had already started to move to the left.

But the fans who watched the live broadcast of the game will never see the intrigue between the two players, and the countermeasures and changes of the two players at the moment of shooting. What they see is that Van Bommel shot directly to Van der Sar. The player intercepted the ball firmly with both hands.

Therefore, many times, fans may feel that a player is performing poorly, or even completely useless, but in the eyes of the head coach, the situation may be completely opposite, because the vision and angle between the two are completely different. Live TV, never seeing what the manager sees.

"Van der Sar's control over the right side of his body is definitely the best in the world!" Bobby Harms couldn't help nodding in approval after seeing Van der Sar's outstanding performance.

As a right-handed and right-footed goalkeeper, Van der Sar's left-handed and left-footed abilities are also good, but they are not as good as his right hand after all.

Bobby Harms knows Van der Sar too well. He knows very well that Van der Sar's control on the right side, whether it is low ball or high ball, is the best in the world. What hinders him is his control of the body. The weakness on the left side.

All right-handed people can try it out, see if the same item is placed on the left side for easy access, or on the right side?
The answer must be the right side, and the goalkeeper is to use his hands to catch the ball.

If Van der Sar's control over the right side of his body is the best in the world, then his control over the left side is his biggest weakness, especially the area above the left waist, which is his most deadly weakness, as well as countless right hands. Goalkeeper's corner.

The so-called dead ends are only for ordinary or first-class goalkeepers. The real top goalkeepers, such as Buffon, Casillas, or future goalkeepers at the level of Petr Cech, have no dead ends in any sense. , That is to say, they can give proper control to the left and right sides of the body and any area of ​​​​the goal.

Only by doing this can he be regarded as the top goalkeeper.

But one is special, that is Kahn the Lion King.

Kahn is also a goalkeeper who also saves dead corners, but he has become the world's number one goalkeeper. On the one hand, it is because his control of the right side of the body has reached the peak, and on the other hand, the team understands his problem. , Defensively pay special attention to the dead corner of Kahn's left half-high ball.

No player is perfect, only by cooperating and complementing each other is the best partner!
Ye Qiu is now also preparing to further strengthen the defensive layout of Van der Sar's left half-height area in defense. He will not take the initiative to reveal Van der Sar's weakness, but the opponent will definitely find out sooner or later, and then must be targeted. Method.

…………

…………

Van der Sar's outstanding performance gave the Ajax players great encouragement. After enduring PSV's crazy attack for 20 minutes, they finally played a sharp and powerful counterattack.

In the 68th minute, after a two-for-one cooperation with Keita on the left, Robben used his speed to forcibly break through PSV's defense line. Robben made a low pass, Keita inserted into the penalty area from the side, faced the incoming ball with a low shot, once again pierced PSV's goal, 3:0!

If, after 2:0, Eindhoven lost their fighting spirit, but their advantage in the first 20 minutes of the second half gave them hope again, then this goal completely declared their despair, because they had to collapse to find , His offense cannot break through Ajax's defense, but his defense cannot stop Ajax's offense.

Ye Qiu's team once again pursued a fast-paced offensive, giving full play to the team's impact and completely controlling the rhythm.

Therefore, after scoring another goal, Ajax immediately sounded the counterattack horn, especially the combination of Maicon and Van der Meyde on the right, and began to launch a fierce attack on Eindhoven's left.

Ten minutes later, it was the cooperation of Van der Meyde and Maicon on the right. Maicon advanced to the right corner of the penalty area and made a 10-degree pass behind the PSV defense line. Huntelaar ambushed Nikiforov and Hof Beside Lan, he got a glimpse of the right time, quickly plugged in, dived to the top, and made another victory with a header, 45:4!

Huntelaar, who scored twice, rushed out of the penalty area excitedly, with his arms outstretched, and his immature face was full of excitement and excitement, because he broke the goal of PSV Eindhoven, and he What was defeated was the No. [-] goalkeeper of the Dutch national team, Waterrus.

Youth is the label of this Ajax youth guard, and today is Huntelaar's 18th birthday. Scoring twice is undoubtedly the best gift God gave him, which makes him happy Crazy.

In the competition with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Huntelaar has always been at a disadvantage. On the one hand, it is because of his youth, and because of his single technical characteristics, which lacks the ability of the Swede to attack the team. The kind of tandem and personal technical ability of the offense.

But Huntelaar also has his own advantages, that is, his scoring sense and shooting skills. These are things that Zlatan Ibrahimovic can't match him even now. This is his advantage!

"Gretz has obviously given up on this game and has given up hope. It's not just him. The overall performance of PSV in this game gives people a feeling of lack of confidence, or it can be said that they are not determined enough. !"

"I want to win but I'm afraid of losing. I want to attack but I'm worried about defending. But in fact, they are completely at a disadvantage, because in the past 5 games where Gretz faced Ye Qiu, Eindhoven lost 4 and drew 1. This record is very embarrassing, but now their loss may add another game !"

The live TV camera shifted from the frustrated Gretz to Ye Qiu. If Gretz's face was full of frustration and disappointment, then Ye Qiu's face was filled with a bright smile full of hope.

"Early before this season, many commentators believed that Ajax's strength has improved a lot after keeping the overall lineup stable last season and adding Van der Sar in the goalkeeper position. In the Eredivisie, it has reached the point of keeping pace with Eindhoven, and even has the momentum of suppressing Eindhoven."

"But no one thought that the average age of this team is still the youngest in the Eredivisie, but now it has the strength to beat Eindhoven 4-0. This is definitely a result beyond everyone's expectations. , but it also fully reflects the amazing progress this young Ajax team has made in the past year!"

If you are a traveler like Ye Qiu, you will not be surprised by the progress of this group of Ajax players, because each of them will be a famous first-class star in Europe after a few years, but unfortunately, in this world In fact, Ye Qiu will always be the only traveler.

Because of this, in the eyes of everyone, Ajax's progress is astonishing, and Ye Qiu, who personally created this Ajax Young Guard, is full of magic. There seems to be a sense of mystery from the East all over her body, with an unbelievable magical power that turns stones into gold.

Ajax fans don't care about this, they care about one thing, that is, Ajax defeated PSV Eindhoven 4-0 at the Arena, and returned the shame of the complete defeat two years ago. Eindhoven, and once again won the Dutch Super Cup.

This makes them more happy than anything, because they see that the team has regained a strong competitiveness, and they have also seen the hope of the team's revival.

And without a doubt, it was Ye Qiu who brought them this hope!

So, after the game, all the Ajax fans in the Arena chanted Ye Qiu's name in unison to express their gratitude and support to the head coach. first!
This treatment also raised Ye Qiu's status in Ajax to a new height!
