Chapter 124 The Genius Coach
The Mali midfielder's heroic blow made Bayern Munich hate Monaco!

The Dutch Guards won the European Super Cup, sparking a youth storm!
The young coach overturns the old and hot famous coach, who said that the second is not as good as the first?

……

The next day, major European mainstream media reported on the UEFA Super Cup match in Monaco. They generally praised Ajax's wonderful performance in this match, and believed that this young team Ajax showed great potential and competitiveness.

After the game, British Sky TV specially created a commentary program about this game. The famous host Andy Gray and his partner Richard Keith were in charge of hosting this commentary program, and they gave Ye Qiu spoke highly of it, thinking that his formation in this match even surpassed that of Heathfield.

And on the second day, they put this review on Sky TV's official website.

"I believe that before the game, there must be many people who are not optimistic about Ajax. Although this team won the UEFA Cup last year, the overall strength of this team is far behind Bayern Munich, but it is obvious from the beginning of the game. From the beginning, they showed a distinctive temperament." Andy Gray analyzed.

"A temperament that refuses to admit defeat and is not afraid of the strong!" Richard Keith added.

"Yes, I believe that this temperament comes directly from their head coach, the young Chinese Ye Qiu, who dared to face-to-face challenges and made bold words at UEFA's live broadcast of the awards ceremony to the world, which can be said He is very bold and reckless, but he can also be said to be a person with a lot of backbone and a lot of fighting spirit!"

"This has obviously affected Ajax, so we can see that even if they are facing Bayern Munich, which is high above them, Ajax is not afraid at all. When you come up, whether you are the lion Kahn, whether you are a tiger Effenberg, no matter you are Brazilian striker Elber, I will beat you all to the ground!"

Richard Keith agreed, "Yes, sometimes on the football field, this kind of momentum is very important, because it can affect the performance of the players, so we can see that Bayern Munich was completely defeated by Ajax in the first half. They were stunned by Si's desperate style of play, and they were a little bit at a loss!"

"Poor Germans, they must have never imagined that they would be so embarrassed by such a younger generation whose fame and strength are far inferior to theirs, but we must also admit that the Germans are obviously slower in entering the state, which may be related to them. It has something to do with playing too many league games before." Andy Gray reminded.

"If Ajax had the upper hand in the first half and Ye Qiu's tactics completely suppressed Hitzfeld, then the famous German coach who just won the Coach of the Year award will start to exert his strength in the second half. He gave Ajax continuous sap at the beginning, and almost stunned the Young Guards!"

Richard Keith laughed, "This is the head coach's battle of wits. We can see that Ye Qiu's adjustments came very quickly. On the one hand, you Heathfield used two substitutions in midfield. I It took advantage of it once, and the 3-0 lead in the first half was obvious, so he quickly adjusted and interrupted Bayern Munich's performance!"

"The battle of wits between the two head coaches in the second half was indeed very exciting, and every substitution also played a key role, whether it was Heathfield or Ye Qiu, the choice of substitution timing and the clever use of tactical adjustments , the use and positioning of his own players are almost impeccable!"

"Bayern lost the game mainly because they were suppressed too much in the first half. The two central defenders were obviously not as tall as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but they were forced to play in the penalty area. Do you know how to use your own weaknesses to touch each other's strengths?"

"So you think the Germans are seeking their own death this time?" Richard Keith asked with a smile.

Andy Gray laughed, "If it weren't for Ajax not seizing enough opportunities and players not strong enough, it is estimated that Bayern Munich would have scored at least 5 goals in the first half of this game, so Ajax won Deserved!"

Ever since the World Cup final in 1966, there have been irreconcilable conflicts between Germany and Great Britain.

Before this final, Germany hadn't beaten England for decades, and after that final, Germany hadn't lost to England since 1968. These two teams are a bit like historical Enemy, you bully me, I bully you, we are so close to each other that many British football programs like to make fun of Germany's bad luck.

This is not only on Sky TV, which is afraid of chaos in the world, but also on the front page of the "Times", which is known as a century-old newspaper. The headline seems fair, but it is somewhat biased: Ajax is brave , Bayern Munich was defeated!

Regardless of the score or the process, 4:3 is a narrow victory, but the Times believes, "On the neutral stage of Monaco, Ajax's performance undoubtedly made people re-acquainted with this old Dutch team. The strength of the strong team, led by a 26-year-old Chinese coach and composed of a group of young people with an average age of less than 20 years old, has completely defeated the Champions League champions of last season. Unbelievable to watch."

"In this game, Ajax's young players have performed very well, whether it is Zlatan Ibrahimovic who has been paid attention to by Arsenal this summer, or Ajax midfielders Keita and Gilbert. Tor Silva and young player Sneijder also performed impressively, and the outstanding performances of the new Cruyff van der Vaart and the new Overmars Robben also brought countless surprises."

"On the contrary, the German team hardly created any threats during the game, especially in the first half. Kahn was tested again and again. Although he also showed the strength of the world's top goalkeeper, it is a pity that he alone People can't save the team, and the central defender is being played by Zlatan Ibrahimovic again and again, Bayern Munich as a whole looks clumsy, and Ajax is like performing a light dance."

"In the second half, the performance of the young coach Ye Qiu was very impressive. He was the biggest contributor to the team's victory in this game. His every substitution adjustment hit Heathfield's vital points, which gave us absolutely a reason I believe that Ajax's success is not accidental, this year's Champions League, Ajax may have a chance to become a surprising dark horse!"

The Dutch and German teams were fighting, but the English media seemed excited. This is indeed a bit strange. Perhaps in their view, this is a kind of thinking that the enemy of the enemy is the friend.

On the contrary, the Amsterdam Corriere della Sera in the Netherlands is more pertinent. They believe that Ajax's performance is indeed very commendable, but there is no doubt about the strength of Bayern Munich. Ajax's success is due to tactics and coach Ye Qiu. The success of strategizing in the game should not give too many unrealistic fantasies and sustenance to this game.

Schulde Mosso of the Common Daily also wrote an article in the newspaper himself.

"This is a classic final. The first half was the stage for Ajax to perform. Ye Qiu and his youth army completely controlled the first 45 minutes, but in the second half Bayern Munich began to wake up and show their strength. The quality of the top team, and the tenacity of the German team, threatened Ajax time and time again."

"We should thank Ye Qiu. It was his calm adjustments and substitutions on the sidelines again and again that made us have the last laugh. Through this game, I believe that all doubts about Ye Qiu's coaching ability should disappear. Yes, because his performance in this game is definitely at the level of a top European coach!"

In addition to the Dutch media, the German media are also reporting on this game.

Kicker also published a comment today, analyzing three reasons for Bayern Munich's loss: "First, Ajax's pre-match preparations and targeted tactics are obviously more adequate, and they have also adjusted their status. Better, so in the first 45 minutes, Ajax played better than Bayern Munich."

"Secondly, Bayern Munich's midfield was obviously suppressed. When Effenberg was contained, Bayern Munich's offensive and defensive transitions encountered problems. We were obviously not prepared for this situation, especially Jay Remes, failed to take on the important task of assisting Effenberg well, and Sauer did not do enough in this regard."

"Finally, Ajax's coach Ye Qiu's tactical arrangements and on-the-spot command are indeed very surprising. This is not at all what a 26-year-old young coach should have. We can't think of any other adjectives to describe his observation of the game situation, his sense of the timing of the game."

"But Bayern's performance was not completely useless, at least the team showed impressive strength in the second half, and at the same time they almost had a chance to turn the game around, but they were a bit unlucky and couldn't become the first team to win the European Super Cup. German team!"

It was also after Kicker’s report came out that most of the fans discovered that in the history of the European Super Cup, no German team had ever won this honor. I believe this must have made many Bayern Munich players Fans are disappointed.

On the front page of the Bild newspaper, a score was specially made, in which Bayern players including Roberto Kovac, Kufuor, Lizarazu and other players all failed with 4 points, and even the lowest score represented 5 points with zero points, and Ajax mostly around 2 points, of which Ibrahimovic got 1 point representing a full score.

In addition, in the evaluation of the two head coaches, Ye Qiu got a full score of 1 point. The reason is that this young head coach is the biggest contributor to Ajax's victory in the game. His on-the-spot command in this game is absolutely It's top-notch in Europe.

Heathfield scored 2 points, "Although there were mistakes and flaws in the first half, which led to the loss of this game, Heathfield's performance in the second half was not bad, but unfortunately he encountered the With Ye Qiu's extraordinary performance, the Chinese seized the opportunity every step of the way, forcing Heathfield's team to lose in the end."

After this game, the whole of Europe seemed to know Ajax again.

If everyone defeated so many giants against Ajax last season and finally won the UEFA Cup, there will still be a dark horse and luck similar to Alaves, and it will be completely eliminated in at most one season. If they return to the original mentality, then after this game, they will have to get to know Ajax again, at least reconsider the strength and potential of this team.

You know, the youngest head coach, the youngest lineup, such a team, with the accumulation of time and game experience, often represents the stronger.

Sure enough, after the game was over, two teams immediately asked Ajax for prices, and the targets were Ibrahimovic without exception. After all, this player won the UEFA Cup final He performed very eye-catchingly in this European Super Cup match, and it is sure to attract attention.

Relying on the close relationship with Ajax, Barcelona hopes to get this Swedish center to further strengthen the team's insufficient attacking line this season, and Ibrahimovic's delicate skills and strong body , Has a natural lethality to La Liga defenders.

Arsenal have been pursuing Zlatan Ibrahimovic for a long time. Wenger even called Ye Qiu himself, hoping to get the Swede, but Ye Qiu gave the asking prices of these two giants teams a lot. If he refused, he was not even willing to listen to the other party's offer, so he just refused.

He is very clear that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is of great tactical value to Ajax. With him in front, Ajax's overall offense can become more three-dimensional and more lethal. Without him, It is not easy to find another Ibrahimovic.

…………

…………

On August 8, at the De Kuip Stadium in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

When Heitinga, who replaced Maicon, was sent off by the referee in the 38th minute of the first half because of an action similar to an elbow, everyone almost collapsed, even the on-site commentator was watching the slow motion Finally, I felt that the referee's penalty was a bit too heavy.

Because it looked more like a subconscious arm swing than an elbow, and Ye Qiu never liked his players to take such a destructive defensive action, but the referee obviously believed more in what his eyes saw. What he saw, he still insisted on his own penalty when faced with questions from Ajax players such as Van der Sar.

At this moment, everyone felt that for Ajax, this game might be more ominous.

Playing Bayern is a hard battle. Everyone knows that Ajax just had a bloody fight with Bayern Munich. After two days, they returned to the Netherlands and met Feyenoord, the arch-enemy in the championship. Ajax was already at a disadvantage.

In fact, Ajax had a bad start to the game, and they performed very dull in the first half. Otherwise, there would be no Heitinga's embarrassing foul this time, and he would be sent off as a red card.

With one person missing, Ye Qiu had no choice but to shrink his defense. After all, the disadvantage of having one person missing was huge.

But Ye Qiu has never been a person who likes to be controlled by others, so as soon as the second half started, Ye Qiu directly arranged for the players to press up and launch a round of fierce attack on Feyenoord after the kick-off.

After the start of the second half, Ajax's attack completely suppressed Feyenoord, and in the 54th and 62nd minutes, Huntelaar, who replaced Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the game, And right winger van der Vaart scored two goals for Ajax, completely playing Feyenoord helpless to fight back.

But under the long attack, Ye Qiu also had to choose to compromise. After scoring two goals, Feyenoord began to improve, and Ye Qiu also began to make substitutions. He replaced De Jong and asked him to play right back , At the same time, Sneijder was replaced to further strengthen the team's defense, and the overall defense line also began to shrink.

Van Marwijk regretted his conservative start in the second half. If he took a little more risk and dared to ask his players to press out to play during the halftime break, then Ajax, who had one less player in this game, would definitely win. It was a miserable death, but he just didn't dare, because he felt that after gaining the advantage of one person, Feyenoord should play more patiently instead of taking risks.

In his opinion, Ye Qiu dared to attack with one less player in the second half. This was definitely a desperate attempt to hang his head on his belt, but he had no way out of this kind of desperate effort. He could only do it when he was 2 goals behind. Under such circumstances, let the players rush out crazily, it is best to kill Ajax directly.

Ye Qiu's team defended tightly, with a very solid defense line. Although Feyenoord had one less player, they did a good job of protecting their own 30-meter area. On the other hand, Feyenoord's offense was difficult to break into Ajak. In the 30-meter area of ​​Sri Lanka, the thunder is loud and the rain is little, so it is difficult to create a threat.

But at the last moment of the game, Thomasson's goal saved Feyenoord's face at home, but the score of 1:2 could not wash away Feyenoord's long-term situation of having one more player than the opponent. , but still lose the shame.

At the same time, in another high-profile game in the third round of the league, Eindhoven actually encountered a tenacious sniper from Adrianse's team in the away game. The latter first scored in the 27th minute. After the second half, there was another round of attack, scoring two goals in a row, rewriting the score to 3:0.

Although Kežman quickly pulled back a goal for Eindhoven, Eindhoven was unable to regain the situation, and finally could only accept this 1:3 away loss.

Only three rounds have been played in the league. Ajax has won all three games and accumulated 9 points. Eindhoven and Feyenoord have 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss and 4 points, which gives Ajax the lead It suddenly expanded to 5 points, but Twente led by Fred Rutten started this season very well, with two wins and one draw. They are only 2 points behind Ajax and temporarily rank in the Eredivisie points The second place on the list.

And Ajax's excellent start to the league this season has also made all Ajax fans full of confidence in Ye Qiu and his team, hoping that they can make persistent efforts and regain the league for Ajax The throne of champions!
