The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 173 Bombarding Ye Qiu
"Haven't you been complaining about not having a chance?"

"Today, this game is the opportunity you have been waiting for!"

The most watched match in the UEFA Champions League group stage, the focus event that countless TV organizations and media around the world have paid attention to and broadcast live, the opportunity that countless people dream of, appeared in front of Mascherano.

"You have to prove to me, to your teammates, and to the fans during the game that you are the one the team needs!"

Standing at the San Siro Stadium, Mascherano was panting heavily, sweating profusely as he kept walking back, behind him, Rui Costa fell to the ground, and the ball fell on him Not far away, the referee is also nearby, and has just completed a penalty, AC Milan's free kick.

Although Mascherano completed a very clean defense, but the action is indeed a bit bigger, it looks a bit fierce, which caused Rui Costa, who is very good at handling the ball, to fall to the ground, and this also made him It was booed overwhelmingly by the San Siro fans, because in the eyes of this group of fans, if there is no foul, it may be an assist.

The Argentine didn't pay attention to the boos of the fans. He walked back immediately after the referee blew his whistle to make a penalty.

Almost as long as there is a gap, the Argentine midfielder's mind will keep replaying the words Ye Qiu said to him before the game and during the intermission. will become more determined.

Back in front of the defense line, both Lucio and Kivu nodded towards him, Mascherano turned around, just like a wolf, staring ahead, waiting for the prey that entered his defense zone to appear, and his expression , His eyes were full of murderous intent.

Anyone who enters the defense zone will be killed without mercy!

In Ajax's tactical system, the defensive midfielder plays an important role, but it always seems insignificant.

It's no wonder that Ibrahimovic, Robben, Van der Vaart, Sneijder and Arteta in front are all too eye-catching, especially the offensive trident, known as the genius star of the new generation of Europe, has already Well-known throughout Europe, highly respected.

Compared with the Trident's every move that receives attention, the midfielder will always be the most difficult position to shine.

But as Ye Qiu said, without the strong support of the midfield and backcourt, the offensive players in the frontcourt, that is, those so-called geniuses, would not be able to unscrupulously display their offensive power and creativity .

This made Mascherano feel comfortable in his heart, because he felt that whether it was himself or De Jong, the head coach could see the contribution he made to the team, so they felt relieved in their hearts.

Sweat slid down from his forehead and passed through the corners of his eyes. He reached out to wipe it off, and turned his head sideways to look at the scoreboard.

73 minutes, 2:1!

In the second half, AC Milan pulled back a goal. The offensive ability of this team is still very good. Just now, Rui Costa kicked a delicate through ball almost like a scalpel, and went straight behind the defense line. Successfully plugged in the anti-offside, scored a single-handed goal, and scored a point for AC Milan.

This goal gave AC Milan hope, so they started to attack fiercely, trying to equalize the score in one go.

That was also Mascherano's only major mistake in this game. He kept telling himself, only this one time!
The ball was quickly sent from Rui Costa's feet to Rivaldo's feet on the left.

After the Brazilian superstar took the ball, he made a cut to the middle. Mascherano caught a glimpse of the opportunity, got close to Rivaldo, and cut into Rivaldo's moving route with his body, directly blocking the Brazilian superstar. The two had a solid fight Real physical confrontation.

To say that among the Brazilians, Rivaldo's physical fitness is quite good, very close to European players, but after a contact with Mascherano, Mascherano was fine and his feet were very skillful He kicked Rivaldo's ball to nearby Maicon, and Rivaldo took a step back instead.

"Wow, this young Argentine player's physical fitness is very good!" The on-site commentator exclaimed, "This reminds me of Redondo. Redondo's physical fitness and confrontation ability are also very good."

Sometimes it is easy for fans to label a player because it is easy to understand.

For example, when it comes to Redondo, most fans have the impression of an elegant, calm, and calm organizational style, and many so-called Redondo II are also like Cambiasso, Gago, and Banega in the early days. The organizational ability is excellent, but the bones of the body are a bit weak. Daiyu-shaped waist.

But in fact, Redondo was able to gain a foothold in La Liga, was able to gain a firm foothold in European football, and led the Real Madrid team to win the Champions League in 2000. His organizational ability is only part of it, and his defensive ability is also very critical.

Redondo's elegance, calmness, and calmness are actually the result of his excellent physical fitness. Otherwise, how could the so-called elegant and calm factions such as Cambiasso, Gago, and Banega not be Redondo?
Because there is no strong physical fitness to support you, no matter how elegant and calm your skills are, if you are touched or bumped by your opponent's body, I am sorry, you may fall on the court in embarrassment at any time.

But when you are physically stronger than your opponent and can firmly suppress your opponent, you can also become very elegant and calm.

It's as if an adult is facing a child, and his physical fitness completely overwhelms his opponent, how can you still be in a hurry?

Therefore, in Ye Qiu's view, Cambiasso, Gago, Banega and others are not like Redondo at all, or only partially. If you really want to look at it from the perspective of a single midfielder, Mascher On the contrary, Lano is more like Redondo. Although Mascherano's organization and offensive ability are weaker, at least he is closer to Redondo than Gago and others in the position of midfielder.

From Ye Qiu's point of view, Mascherano is most similar to Redondo because he seems to have a sense of smell.

Just like the contest with Rivaldo just now, maybe the Brazilian's physical fitness may not be inferior to Mascherano, but the Argentine's midfielder cuts in well, which just prevents Rivaldo from playing his whole body. Strength, while he himself exerted his strength very comfortably.

When Rivaldo, who can only exert half of his confrontation strength, meets Mascherano, who exerts his full strength, the result can be imagined.

It seems that this time, when Seedorf dribbled the ball and wanted to break through his defense zone, although Van der Vaart was close to defending and interfering, Mascherano shot from the side with a diagonal stab and did not follow Sidov. The husband had a savage contest, and he didn't try to carry him hard, but just stabbed him quickly while he was dribbling the ball.

Seedorf continued to rush forward by inertia, but the ball was broken by Mascherano.

In the words of Mascherano's father, this kid is born with a sense of how to steal the ball, but if you want to analyze it carefully, it is not difficult to find that this sense of smell is composed of many different aspects of ability Yes, it's hard to explain.

Ye Qiu stood on the sidelines, watching Mascherano complete another beautiful defense, he was happier than anyone else in his heart.

"This kid is really desperate in this game!" Bobby Harms said with a smile on the side.

In the first half, Ajax seemed to have the advantage and took a lead of 2 goals, but in fact, the scene was not as good as the score showed. AC Milan's defensive counterattack was also very good. With players like Pirlo, Seedorf, and Rui Costa behind them, Rivaldo and Inzaghi's counterattack opportunities are not lacking at all.

Mascherano sits in the midfielder, and he destroyed at least two very good counterattack opportunities for AC Milan in the first half, but all this is not very conspicuous in the eyes of fans or the media, because they always only pay attention attacking player.

Even when Mascherano is competing with the opponent's offensive players, their eyes are still more focused on the offensive players. This has to be said to be a very strange viewing angle.

But as the head coach of the team, Ye Qiu is very aware of Mascherano's performance in this game.

It is not obvious, but it is very stable, and it plays well.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that he played so well in this game. In fact, Rui Costa was able to successfully assist Inzaghi’s goal. A large part of the responsibility lies with Mascherano, but it is also It was precisely because of that mistake that he worked very hard afterwards, trying to recover the losses caused by his mistake.

Ye Qiu is very happy to see Mascherano's attitude. There is no player who will not make mistakes. The key is attitude.

Ye Qiu doesn't like those players who still don't care and don't care after making mistakes.

"Let John warm up!" Ye Qiu turned around and told Roland.

Soon, Ajax completed a substitution, replacing the mediocre Maicon with Heitinga.

Ajax's right wing was under a lot of pressure in this game, because Rivaldo, Seedorf and Rui Costa were more cruising on this side, which made the right wing The defensive pressure is very high, so Maicon did not perform very well throughout the game, but his defense is also quite satisfactory.

Before the Ajax substitution, Ancelotti had already made two substitutions, respectively replacing the left back Karadze with Costacurta. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with the performance of the Georgian, because the first goal The ball was his mistake.

The second substitution was to replace Pirlo with Serginho. The latter was more tragic. As a defensive midfielder, Sneijder was helpless, and he was defensive against Ajax in the defensive midfielder position. It was done very badly, the close connection between Arteta and Sneijder made Pirlo unable to defend at all, and Ancelotti's substitution this time had the intention of strengthening the offense.

That is, after this substitution, Rui Costa assisted Inzaghi to score.

Ancelotti saw Ye Qiu replace Maicon with Heitinga. After wanting to further strengthen the defense, he also made a substitution, replacing Rui Costa with Shevchenko, and played The double striker tactic allows Rivaldo to cruise behind the two.

Seeing the trick, Ye Qiu began to retract the team's three lines appropriately, further reducing the space for AC Milan's midfield, especially allowing Mascherano to sit in front of the defense line to protect the defense line, but also for AC Milan. pressure from midfield.

Soon, Ye Qiu completed the second substitution, Yaya Toure replaced Arteta.

This substitution has strengthened Ajax's midfield, with the Ivorian running, defending and covering excellently.

After completing two substitutions, Ajax's defense became solid, while AC Milan began to fall into the entanglement of two forwards, that is, the partner between Shevchenko and Inzaghi.

Thinking about it, I find it strange that such a combination of two top shooters in the world will have a positive and negative effect.

And even in the end, neither Inzaghi nor Shevchenko scored a goal.

…………

…………

When the referee blew the whistle to end the match, the entire San Siro stadium was once again deafeningly booed and cursed. It was obvious that the Rossoneri fans did not like Ajax at all, and even Very annoying.

But that didn't stop the Ajax players from celebrating at all.

Is there anything more gratifying than being able to beat AC Milan in the away game and be able to beat the opponent in the first game of the Champions League group stage?Is there anything more satisfying than slapping these fans on the spot?
Ye Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that it was a bit risky to win this match.

He was originally betting, betting on Mascherano's performance.

This is a choice without choice. Although Maduro is good, he still has a big gap with De Jong and Mascherano, especially in defense, so he can only choose Mascherano.

Judging from the whole game, Mascherano is not very good, and his debut is not as eye-catching as Ye Qiu expected, so the limelight, at least Rui Costa's assist is a stain that he can't cover up. , but in general, he has done a good job, very good, and his flaws are not concealed.

Also because Mascherano played well, Ajax finally successfully defended the results brought about by the opening attack in this game, and successfully defeated AC Milan 2:1. For Kex, it's not easy.

"Congratulations!" Ancelotti, as the host, hesitated for a while after the game whistle sounded, and finally walked to the front of the visiting team's coach's bench, and stretched out his hand towards Ye Qiu.

These words are somewhat sour, after all, no one wants to lose this game.

"Thank you!" Ye Qiu smiled and shook hands with him.

When Ancelotti saw Ye Qiu's smile, he felt uncomfortable. This Chinese, who was obviously much younger than himself, brought a team much younger than his own team and defeated him at his doorstep. No one will feel good about this kind of useless feeling.

"We must have a chance to take revenge!" After a silent confrontation, Ancelotti finally said a harsh word.

Ye Qiu smiled and didn't answer, because in his opinion, it was more of a helpless counterattack after losing.

It's like two children fighting, the one who loses is crying and shouting to the one who wins, don't go, I'll go back and ask my dad to beat you up, this kind of words are not very lethal or intimidating sex.

But I still have to say that Ancelotti is really good, at least he gave a positive evaluation of Ajax's performance in the press conference after the game, but he still attributed more responsibility for the loss Bad for the team.

"We have just gone through two weeks of national team competitions. After returning to the team, we played another Serie A game. The players are very tired, especially a few key players. This makes us very passive in the game. In the end It's a pity to lose the game."

But immediately a reporter counterattacked Ancelotti on the spot and asked him, since he knew the players were tired, why didn't he rotate it?Why do you choose Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf and other players in every game without using so many stars on the bench?

"In terms of strength, we have players such as Thomason, Borriello, Ambrosini, Serginho and Redondo sitting on the bench. Ajax, and you were arguing for a rotation, but now..."

Before the reporter finished speaking, Ye Qiu coughed heavily and interrupted the Italian reporter.

"I'm very surprised. Why do you think that AC Milan's bench lineup is better than ours?" Ye Qiu asked the reporter without showing any weakness, but before he could answer, he said again, "After we just finished with 2 : 1, when you beat the main force of your self-feeling world's strongest lineup at the San Siro Stadium, where you thought it was impossible to fall, why do you think the substitute lineup is better than us?"

The reporter didn't expect that Ye Qiu would be offended by the grammatical error in his hasty sentence.

But it's no wonder that Ajax was cultivated by Ye Qiu after three or four years of hard work, as if they were his children, and this group of players was brought out by him alone. Doubt, yes, because of freedom of speech, I thought you were farting, but you said in front of me, sorry, I can't bear this tone.

"Put away your so-called arrogance of a wealthy family, in my eyes, it's nothing!"

Ye Qiu stood up and unceremoniously glanced at the group of reporters below, even the awkward Ancelotti beside him was ignored by him.

"In my opinion, there is only one situation that can prove that you are stronger than us!" Ye Qiu pointed to the reporter and then to himself, "That is when you beat us on the court, but I must remind you You, now the situation is the opposite, we beat you!"

"In my eyes, you are a group of defeated opponents. You have no right to say that your strength is better than ours. That will only make me feel like hearing the funniest joke in the world!"

Ye Qiu's words caused an uproar among all the reporters present, most of them were Italian reporters, and they even accuse Ye Qiu's words noisily, thinking it was a humiliation to them.

However, some neutral reporters and media remained silent, because in their view, it was purely some people who were too arrogant and looked down on the dispute caused by Ajax, and Ye Qiu finally slapped him in the face on the spot, so what? Very dissatisfied?
And when Ye Qiu left the press conference early, many reporters and media close to AC Milan were behind him and bombarded him furiously. In their eyes, he was the arrogant and domineering Ajax. Young coach.

It is conceivable that the headlines on the front pages of most newspapers in Italy the next day will only have one theme.

Bombard Ye Qiu!
