The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 192 Fighting Juventus

On March 3, the Philips Stadium in Eindhoven, the Netherlands.

In the 88th minute of the second half, Robben scored from the left and broke through PSV's defense. After dribbling away from Oyer on the left side of the penalty area, he shot low with his left foot and pierced Watrus's goal. At the time of the goal, the entire Philips Stadium was silent.

This is the third time Eindhoven has lost to Ajax this season, and they have lost three consecutive games. If you go back to Ye Qiu's three years in charge of Ajax, they have hardly beaten Ajax. Kex, has remained unbeaten for three consecutive years.

Guus Hiddink, the famous World Cup coach who came to the Philips Stadium with the halo of the Eredivisie king before the season, failed to continue his good luck in the Korea-Japan World Cup. In several head-to-head games in the Eredivisie League, he encountered A very embarrassing record, not only lost to Ajax, but also to Feyenoord.

With Eindhoven's strength, they can maintain an absolute advantage against teams other than Ajax and Feyenoord, but when facing real competitors, Hiddink is powerless, embarrassingly All failed.

0:2, the big red scoreboard shows a number that makes Hiddink and Eindhoven fans want to collapse.

Although this does not look like a complete defeat, it cannot conceal PSV's disadvantage and poor performance in this game, nor can it reflect the opportunities created by Ajax in this game .

If it wasn't for Zlatan Ibrahimovic who left the field early due to injury in the 37th minute, if it wasn't for Huntelaar who came off the bench, and van der Vaart, who has been scoring goals recently, wasting opportunities many times, if it wasn't for Sneijder The few long-range shots of his feet didn't hit the right part...

It is precisely because there are so many ifs that Eindhoven was able to lose only 2 goals with great luck.

Hiddink's so-called aura of the king has long been torn apart by the media and fans, and he has not even left his last fig leaf, because no matter how hard he speaks and how he quibbles, he can't cover up the fact that he has faced Aja this season. Kex and Feyenoord both suffered embarrassing defeats.

Eindhoven can maintain the second position in the league because they ensure the efficiency of scoring points when facing underdogs. In the words of the Dutch media, this is a team that bullies the weak and fears the hard. Show up.

This is true in the Champions League, and it is also true in the Eredivisie.

Ye Qiu didn't have much dislike for Hiddink. He believed from the beginning to the end that Hiddink had been away from the mainstream European leagues for too long. What's more, he has been estranged for so many years, and recently went to far away Asia.

It's not that Ye Qiu himself looks down on Asian football, but he's talking about a fact. If Ye Qiu returns to China to coach now, it won't take long, one year. He can guarantee that it will take a long time for him to come back to Europe after one year. Re-adapt and explore the tactical trends of mainstream European leagues.

Hiddink slowly walked out of the coach's bench, dragging his seemingly heavy steps towards the visiting team's coach's bench.

When Ye Qiu held Hiddink's hand together, he found that Hiddink could not hold his strength. At first he used a lot of strength, but soon loosened it. Finally, as if to apologize, he supported Tuo Ye with both hands. Qiu's right hand.

Hiddink didn't say anything during the whole process, maybe he was embarrassed, because at the beginning of the season, he underestimated Ye Qiu and the Eredivisie league too much. Chuchu came to the Eredivisie with the aura of a magical coach from the World Cup. A, he was ambitious and wanted to make a big difference, but he didn't pay attention to all the Eredivisie coaches at that time.

Among other things, just for his achievements in Eindhoven, for the reputation he has accumulated in the past few years, and for his performance in leading the South Korean team in the World Cup just now, he feels that he is The Eredivisie must be able to make a difference.

People, when they have just achieved outstanding achievements, they will inevitably feel smug.

Seeing that Hiddink didn't say a word, turned around and walked back to the home team's coaching bench, Ye Qiu secretly warned himself that Hiddink's today may be his tomorrow. With a humble heart, never forget, what is it that makes me come to where I am today?
Is it by your own talent?Rely on your own talent?Relying on that illusory godfather in my mind to develop a system?

Wrong, these are some reasons, but definitely not the most important.

The most important thing for him to be able to get to this day is that he is willing to work hard, willing to pay, willing to let go of his figure, and learn with an open mind.

Learning is endless, like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat!

"How's Zlatan's injury?"

As soon as the match at the Philips Stadium was over, Ye Qiu walked into the player tunnel and was the first to find Roland.

This fat Dutchman who followed Ye Qiu all the way up from the youth team to the first team, was doing trivial things beside Ye Qiu. But if there is no such a person, Ye Qiu will be very uncomfortable, and everyone will feel uncomfortable.

"The situation is not very optimistic. Peter Brandt took him back to Amsterdam ahead of schedule. The preliminary judgment is that he sprained his knee." Roland followed Ye Qiuwang to the locker room.

Ye Qiu frowned, and hurt his knee, this is a fatal part, so it's better not to make a big mess.

Perhaps seeing Ye Qiu's expression, Roland hurriedly added: "It shouldn't be very serious, but the exact time to come back depends on the results of the inspection. Peter Brandt's most optimistic assessment is two weeks."

Two weeks, if it's only two weeks, then Ye Qiu won't worry at all.

After playing Eindhoven, the Eredivisie immediately ushered in a two-week league suspension. The national team trained and prepared for the European Cup qualifiers, but after the training, Ajax will soon welcome Juventus. This time It's an away game first, then a home game.

This is the advantage of the first place in the group stage, first away and then host, this is a favorable schedule for the knockout round.

Ye Qiu nodded, "We'll talk about it when we go back."

After taking two steps, he thought of something again, "Help me get two tickets to the De Kuyp Stadium, I want to take a look at Nedved, and arrange scouts to watch the matches of the Italian and French teams respectively .”

On the two-week national team match day, the Netherlands will play a European Cup qualifier with the Czech Republic, and Italy and France also have match tasks, but because the schedule is very tight, it is impossible for Ye Qiu to watch all the matches. So he wanted to watch the match between the Netherlands and the Czech Republic.

There are many international players from Ajax and Juventus in this game, such as wild boar Edgar Davis and Czech midfielder Pavel Nedved. These two midfielders are the most powerful in the Juventus team star.

To be honest, Lippi's Juventus lineup is really inferior to Capello's old lady team. The first important thing is the defense line. Ferrara is a lot older, and Iulia Nuo has always been unconvincing, Thuram is now playing right back, and there are players like Pesoto, Montero, Bilindley, Tudor and so on.

Compared with Juventus in Capello's later period, this defense is still not strong enough, which is why Juventus conceded 11 goals in the second round of the group stage.

In terms of midfield, Davis is definitely underestimated. Ye Qiu is well aware of the strength of this Dutchman, but he is not liked by Lippi. On the contrary, Conte, Tudor and others have repeatedly Pulled into midfield, and a Tacchinardi.

The most commonly used tactical formation for Juventus this season is 4312, with three players in the midfield, Nedved playing the midfielder, and two forwards in front, Trezeguet is always at the top, and the other is Del Piero Or Diwayo, the two players move forward or retreat according to the opponent's tactics, and the formation changes back and forth between 4312 and 4321.

But there is no doubt that Nedved is the most important core player in this Juventus team.

Ye Qiu watched the match between the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. Apart from inspecting his own players, the more important thing was to watch Pavel Nedved.

…………

…………

Back in Amsterdam, Ye Qiu failed to receive any good news from Peter Brandt.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic sprained his knee, and the injury is not serious. It is estimated that it will take two to three weeks. Judging from Peter Brandt's tone, it is more likely that it will be three weeks. , Can catch up with the game against Juventus, it is not known.

Ibrahimovic is a crucial part of the current Ajax offensive tactics. With him, he can suppress the opponent's central defender to the maximum extent, completely disrupt the opponent's defense, and provide Ajax His offense creates opportunities and looks for loopholes.

Huntelaar is a very good scorer, he has a very keen sense of goal, but he can't become the core of attack like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and it is foreseeable that when playing Juventus, Lippi Will do everything possible to tighten the line of defense.

How to play this match, Ye Qiu didn't have a spectrum in mind yet.

In the next few days, the players all went to the national team to report, and Ajax also ushered in a holiday. Except for a few wounded such as Ibrahimovic, everyone else can have a temporary holiday, and Ye Qiu conducted a targeted analysis of Juventus with the coaching staff for several days, and discussed the tactical layout, and then simply went to Cambridge to rest.

The wedding date of the two of them has already been set. In June, Huang Chu was a little apprehensive and secretly bought a lot of things for marriage or home use, which made Ye Qiu almost die of laughter when she saw it. , and in the past few days in Cambridge, they have not actually been idle.

Ye Qiu specially ordered an Armani wedding dress, and he also accompanied Huang Chu to order a white wedding dress tailored for Huang Chu by the wedding dress queen Vera Wang. The two even flew to New York for this purpose.

After finishing these things, Ye Qiu also returned to the Netherlands. Accompanied by Roland, he went to Rotterdam to watch the European Cup qualifier match between the Netherlands and the Czech Republic.

This is the 100th international match ushered in at the De Kuyp Stadium, so this game has made many Dutch fans feel a little special. In the game, the Netherlands also insisted on offensive football. Initiate offensive tactics.

The Czech Republic adopted a 451 tactic, leaving the high center forward Jan Koller in front, but to Ye Qiu's disappointment, Nedved was placed in the position of the left midfielder. The waist position is a little different.

Nedved used to play as a left midfielder. When he joined Juventus, Lippi still arranged him as a left midfielder instead of letting him play as a midfielder to replace Zidane, but Nedved I felt that I couldn't play my best form on the left, so I had a long talk with Lippi, and then I was arranged to play the midfielder and swim behind the double forwards.

Nedved's attacking midfielder is actually a bit like the later Kaka. Of course, the Czech's running range and ability to counter-attack in the frontcourt are stronger than Kaka, but the two serve as offensive scoring points. The characteristics are the same. After Nedved played as a midfielder this season, he has scored 9 goals in Serie A and 4 goals in the Champions League.

This Czech midfielder has his own characteristics, that is, he can run almost everywhere and spare no effort, which is a huge threat to any team's midfield. Looking for opportunities, through the pull and interference of the two forwards in front, Nedved found a loophole behind them and immediately stepped in to attack.

After plugging in, this has become a vital part of modern football tactical offense.

Leverkusen's success last year was actually the success of Ballack's defensive midfielder's attacking tactics. It is difficult to prevent Ballack's attacking, because you don't know when he will insert, and as long as he Plug it in, and you can create a threat.

In this game, although Nedved was arranged as a left midfielder, in fact he often inserted into the penalty area and acted as a striker.

"If you can't pinch Nedved, it will be difficult to limit Juventus' offense!"

In the stands of the De Kuyp Stadium, Ye Qiu didn't pay much attention to the game. He was more involved in thinking about how to compete with Juventus.

There is no doubt that when playing Juventus, the offense must be wide. Even Ye Qiu recently watched Lippi and Ancelotti's experience in the 02/03 UEFA Champions League final match in the godfather training system And reflection, they all mentioned one point in the end, that is the wing attack.

It is very interesting that Lippi eliminated Real Madrid in the semi-finals, and restricted AC Milan in the final. In addition to relying on the overall contraction of defense, he also made strict arrangements for the opponent's flanks. For example, when playing Real Madrid, let them Davis is especially against Figo.

Regardless of whether it is AC Milan or Real Madrid, there is no doubt that they attach great importance to penetration in the middle and possession of the ball. However, when facing a shrinking defense, they lose the threat from the side and cannot play effective tactical width. The middle is a backwater.

Ajax's wing attack is very sharp. The wings composed of Robben and van der Vaart are undoubtedly better, more threatening and more impactful than AC Milan and Real Madrid's wing attack. He is convinced that Lippi will make strict arrangements and defenses for this.

With the current situation of Juventus, it is certain to play defense and counterattack. What Ye Qiu has to consider now is how to penetrate Juventus's defense in the absence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the loss of such a tactical high point. In addition to the iron wall, Juventus's counterattack must be restricted.

After returning to Amsterdam from Rotterdam, Ye Qiu called the coaching staff of the first team to hold a meeting in De Tokmorst.

This time the coaches discussed the report sent by the scouts, Ye Qiu's experience in watching the game in Rotterdam, and analyzed and predicted Juventus' possible tactics.

After the team regrouped, the 26th round of the Eredivisie League quickly rekindled the battle, and Ajax ushered in Rosendal at home.

Everyone could see that Ye Qiu did not arrange the entire main lineup to play this time in order to prepare for the UEFA Champions League match against Juventus in the middle of the week. Robben, van der Vaart, Sneijder, Mascherano, Lucio , Maicon and other players were excluded from the starting lineup by Ye Qiu and even did not play in the entire game.

But in the end, with the goals of De Jong, Van der Meyde, Hleb and Huntelaar, Ajax defeated Rosendal 4:1 at home, showing the powerful attacking power of their Eredivisie league overlord, and Strong overall strength.

In the same round, Eindhoven had a difficult 1:1 draw with Willem II in an away game.

In the last round of the king of kings duel, Ajax defeated Eindhoven 2:0 and successfully widened the points gap to 5 points. Now that Eindhoven is tied, the points have been further expanded and accumulated to 7 points.

With 8 rounds left in the Eredivisie and 7 points behind, everyone almost felt that Eindhoven had lost hope of catching up with Ajax. Unless Ajax collapsed at the last moment, otherwise, Ben The season's Eredivisie title will be successfully defended by Ajax.

But at the press conference when the team went to Turin and challenged Juventus away, Ye Qiu showed no sign of excitement when the team was already hailed as the biggest favorite for the Eredivisie championship.

"As I said, we are a team with great ambitions. We will not only focus on the Eredivisie. We hope to win more. This requires all of us to work together and play every game well. Contest."

"The team's ability to get to the present is not due to anyone's credit, but the result of the hard work of every player on the team for a season. I am proud and proud of my players. I also believe that we have the strength to win everything , I am even more confident that at the Alpi Stadium in Turin, we will be able to return triumphantly!"

Ye Qiu's ambition infected the Ajax players. This group of young talents is not afraid of the star-studded Juventus. Lippi also expressed his respect for Ajax in the pre-match press conference. Max, a group of young geniuses who are not afraid of tigers, worry about them.

"They are very young, with amazing drive, which makes them able to show strong competitiveness anytime and anywhere. I have no doubt that they are the most outstanding group of talents in the new generation of European football players. For such a team, we must maintain 12 points of focus and give our all to win the game."

"Of course, being young may not be a good thing!"

Although Lippi praised Ajax more and wanted to paralyze the opponent mentally, he said the last sentence very confidently, because he faced Ajax at the Alpi Stadium, and almost all The Italian media also believed that winning Ajax would not be a problem.

In particular, the Republic newspaper, which had made enemies with Ye Qiu before, shouted, "Let's teach the group of unweaned children at the Alpi Stadium what football is!"

But the moment everyone got Ajax's starting lineup, they were all taken aback by Ye Qiu's arrangement.
