The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 196 Goal: Final Four!
On the way Ye Qiu walked back to the coaching bench of the visiting team, he was surrounded by his players who were so happy that they were a little crazy. A group of people were celebrating and venting wildly right under the eyes of the Juventus fans. The excitement and excitement of beating a strong team in an away game.

Although Juventus only won the second place in the group in the second round of the group stage, and the goals and conceded goals were not ideal, but no one can doubt the strength of this team in the knockout round, or it should be said that Italy's The team's performance in the knockout rounds is generally not too bad.

Someone once said that the Premier League beats Serie A, Serie A beats La Liga, La Liga beats the Premier League, and the series beats. The deep-seated reason lies in the different styles of the league.

The Premier League is notoriously passionate, with fast transitions between offense and defense and strong impact, but Serie A's offense and defense system is known for its meticulousness, especially the defense. The Italian defense can even be dull enough to make you feel that they are emotionless The game is full of passion, so when the passionate Premier League meets the rigorous defensive Serie A, it is difficult for the latter to adapt to the fast-paced and impactful style of play of the former.

In contrast to La Liga, Spanish football has always used ball control and passing and cutting to mobilize the opponent's players and avoid more head-to-head physical confrontations, so they can pull the tempo very low, because the slow tempo is more suitable for control. The ball, but it is not suitable for the passion of the Premier League, so when La Liga meets the Premier League, the tactics are generally very simple.

My slow ball control, slow coordination, slow passing, you run, run, run until you run out of strength and show your flaws, I can kill you directly, and this tactical play is psychologically very dominant.

Now Real Madrid, Deportivo, Barcelona, ​​and Valencia have a very high chance of winning against Premier League teams. Facing Manchester United, they still have an advantage, and the one that can barely resist is Arsenal.

However, this style of La Liga meets the well-defended Serie A, which is no different. Italian teams generally adopt a strategy. No matter how you attack, I will first defend well and use reinforced concrete defense to resist your offense. , and it is difficult to break through the Italian defense with this kind of ground penetration attack in La Liga, and the weak defense in La Liga often always makes the team's luxurious offensive lineup in the frontcourt become a castle in the air.

Recently, however, the styles of Italy, Spain and England have all changed. Italy now has Carlo Ancelotti's AC Milan, England has Wenger's Arsenal, Ferguson has also introduced Veron and began to pursue technology, Spain is With Iruetta's Super Depor and Ranieri, Cooper and Benitez's Valencia, these two teams pay great attention to the offensive and defensive system, especially the defensive system.

From this point, it is not difficult to see that the overall tactical style of Europe tends to be integrated, which is the so-called inclusiveness.

There is no need to worry about the homogeneity of European tactical leagues in the future. That is impossible, because each league has different tactical styles. For example, in Serie A, it is difficult to play La Liga’s ball control and the passion of the Premier League. It is Ancelotti, and more is based on the local style of Serie A, assisted by La Liga's ball control style.

In the Premier League, why didn't Wenger's Arsenal add excellent elements from other leagues on the basis of English football?Otherwise, how could Arsenal be known as the team with the most red cards and the most violent in the Premier League this season?

Ye Qiu also reflected on his own Ajax. This team has gathered a lot of different elements. The defense is a bit Italian, and the passionate attack is a bit English. The joining of Arteta has brought La Liga's possession of the ball. Stream, while the team as a whole is a bit Bundesliga-inclined, it can be said that it takes the strengths of each team.

But this also brings a lot of problems. Taking the strengths of each team is a good way to say it. The bad thing is that they have no specialties. The ball control is not as good as La Liga, the defense is not as good as Serie A, and the rhythm is not as good as the Premier League. After all, there is no team. Is it possible to have more ball possession than La Liga, a stronger defense than Serie A, and a faster pace than the Premier League?
Therefore, the core foundation of Ajax is still the tradition of Dutch football, which is attacking from two wings. Ye Qiu's tactical style is also more inclined to offensive football. Especially last season, England's fast-paced and passionate offense was very obvious. The entire Ajax team is about to be Englandized, so Ye Qiu focused on the introduction of Arteta, injecting more delicate ball control elements.

Sometimes, think about it, it's really not easy!
It has been four years, and it has taken Ye Qiu four full years to create such an Ajax team!
How many four years can there be in life?
So, surrounded by the players, the excited Ye Qiu gasped for breath, tried to calm down the agitation in his heart, and glanced at the young faces in front of him. They will all become the hottest top stars in European football in the future. But now, they are all under his command, which makes him feel an unprecedented confidence and fighting spirit.

"Don't get too excited. Remember, this is only the first round. We will let those guys who said we were lucky and coincidental last year see clearly. We will enter the semi-finals again!"

"Enter the semi-finals!"

"Into the semi-finals!!!" The players were also infected by Ye Qiu's emotions. After defeating Juventus in the away game, this group of Ajax players also felt an unprecedented fighting spirit and confidence.

In football, in all walks of life, confidence is built by constantly beating opponents!

…………

After the game, the press conference hall of the Alpi Stadium was very lively. Reporters from well-known media from all over the world gathered, most of them were from Italy, including La Repubblica.

But this time, the Republic seems to have learned the lesson from before. Instead of sitting in the first row, they sat in the crowd. If you don’t pay attention, you may not be able to see their existence. This is also what the Republic has done to Ye Qiu. Compromise, the meaning is very clear, I have already given in, you are always embarrassed to trouble me again, right?

But what he didn't expect was that sometimes Ye Qiu was such a small-minded person.

Lippi was the first to walk into the press conference. Silver Fox had a gloomy face and looked in a bad mood, because the sky over the Alpi Stadium had already begun to be covered with dark clouds. Just now, the Juventus fans were also very dissatisfied with him. The boos were booed. Although the boos were not loud, it reflected the dissatisfaction of some fans.

Ye Qiu followed Lippi into the press conference hall. Many reporters at the scene noticed that Lippi seemed unwilling to meet Ye Qiu face to face. Ye Qiu wasn't polite to Lippi either, he looked like his master, walking in and looking around before sitting down.

"Hey, isn't there a reporter from the Republican newspaper?" Ye Qiu had been waiting for the opportunity.

The group of reporters present were all characters who were afraid of chaos in the world. When they heard Ye Qiu's question, there was a burst of laughter. Someone in the middle got up and stepped aside, revealing the two reporters of the Republic newspaper hiding in the crowd. Sitting in the crowd in embarrassment, I wish I could find myself a hole to drill, it's so embarrassing.

"May I ask a question first?" Ye Qiu looked at the Juventus press officer very modestly.

The Italian didn't like Ye Qiu very much either, because Ajax won, but he still nodded in agreement.

"Excuse me, these two reporter friends from the Republic newspaper, please teach me, what is football?" Ye Qiu always had a smile on his face, but in the eyes of most people, this smile was indeed a sneer, as if he was disdainful. How dare the defeated player say that he wants to teach us how to play football?Are you worthy?
The crowd roared with laughter, and the spotlights flickered. They were obviously very interested in Ye Qiu's question. Let's see how the reporter from the Republic newspaper answered, but the two reporters sat there in embarrassment and didn't move. Talking is like a dead fish, anyway, you can kill or cut it as you like.

This time Ye Qiu was out of control, smiled and signaled that the press conference could begin.

Facing an opponent who is ready to be slaughtered, I really have no interest. If you beat him, he will not fight back. If you scold him, he will be happier than you. Why bother?Is it necessary to fight to the death with such an opponent?

In Ye Qiu's view, it's enough to save their face and embarrass these reporters and the Republican newspaper behind them.

The first person to ask a question was a reporter from Gazzetta dello Sport. He asked about Lippi. He hoped that Silver Fox could comment on Juventus' performance in this game and look forward to the second round of the game.

"Overall, our performance in this game was good, especially in our first half, all progress was under our control, but unfortunately, in the second half, we were about to On the counterattack, Ajax scored a goal, which stopped our counterattack and disrupted the rhythm of the team."

"Losing at home is really difficult for the team to qualify, but I don't think the team should be blamed for it, because we all tried [-] per cent and I have the confidence to turn the situation around in the second leg, I know very well We're going to have a lot of trouble at the Arena, but we're going to make it."

Lippi's reply was quite satisfactory. After losing, he was able to give such a reply because of his prestige.

For the Champions League, Lippi is too familiar. It can even be said that in today's football, in terms of experience in the Champions League, there will be more abundant than Lippi. No one will lose their final confidence in Juventus.

The reason why famous coaches are famous coaches is because they can always make people see hope at the last and most critical moment.

Ye Qiu's evaluation of this game was more polite, "This is a very exciting game, both sides are very strong, we have the advantage, played very well, and controlled the game very well, and we We were very active on both sides, but in the first half we had counterattacks."

"Fortunately, during the halftime break, we reflected on and summarized the reasons for conceding goals in the first half, and made up for it, and we adjusted the poor offense in the first half. Attacking, we created a lot of threats, and finally scored two goals in a row to overtake the score."

"The victory of the away game cannot represent everything, nor can it be said that we have overwhelmed Juventus in terms of strength. The knockout round is a two-round match. The final winner must make a decision at the Arena Stadium. I firmly believe that we must It will be the final winner, as long as we can maintain our performance in this game, we will be able to win at home and advance smoothly."

There is another very positive signal in the second round of the game, and that is Ibrahimovic's comeback.

The reason why Ajax played so awkwardly in this game and the reason why it was difficult to start the attack is that Huntelaar is a very important factor, but in the second round of the game, the Swede will definitely be able to come back, as long as his After the state is adjusted, Ye Qiu will let him start, and then Juventus will suffer.

The media also asked Lippi and Ye Qiu for their opinions on Ibrahimovic's comeback.

"In fact, I rarely comment on the opponent's players, but I still think that Ibrahimovic's comeback will make Ajax's offense more threatening. He is a very special center forward. We You have to be well prepared to take on his challenge."

On the contrary, Ye Qiu was happy in his heart for Zlatan Ibrahimovic's comeback, but he couldn't say that in his mouth.

"Ibrahimovic returned from injury, which is a gratifying thing, but I don't think he can be the reason for the team to beat Juventus, because the game still depends on the efforts of all players to win. , and I think Huntelaar's performance in this game is also very good."

"I am very fortunate that I have two very good centers. They have different technical characteristics, so that I can arrange different tactics according to their characteristics. This is very important, so I have not yet decided on the second round. Starting roster, because I think they are all very good, whoever is on the team will be a powerful weapon for the team to advance."

Ye Qiu's words not only gave Zlatan Ibrahimovic hope, but also did not suppress Huntelaar's confidence.

In fact, everyone can see that Huntelaar is the weakest link in Ajax's offensive end. If he can be more comprehensive, Ajax's offense will become more threatening. Ben's wings would also be more powerful.

But there are some things that anyone can say, even Huntelaar's teammates can say it, but Ye Qiu, the head coach, can't say it!

But the entire press conference was not as harmonious as it appeared on the surface. When a reporter from Gazzetta dello Sport asked about Montero's one-handed foul at Van der Vaart but did not get a yellow card, Ye Qiu said It's hard to hide your anger.

"I know that according to the rules of UEFA, the referee should not be blamed, but I still find it very strange. As an international referee with rich law enforcement experience, who has enforced the World Cup in Korea, Japan and various European competitions, Howard Why did Greg think Montero was not a tactical foul?"

"My players are about to form a single pole. I dare not say that they will definitely be able to score goals after forming a single pole. However, in this situation where they are obviously powerless and prevent my players from forming a single pole. I think it is a very bad foul. , should have been given a red card but obviously the referee doesn't see it that way and I will ask the club to appeal this."

After the grouping, Bobby Harms, who has more experience and has a better understanding of UEFA's mentality, and Van Prager, who has extensive connections in European football, are all reminding Ye Qiu that this is the time to move forward. One road is not easy to walk, someone is eyeing Ajax, as for who it is, everyone didn't say it, but they knew it in their hearts.

UEFA is the maker of the rules, the organizer of the competition, and holds the greatest power. Ye Qiu will not shoot casually, because it may waste the efforts of tens of hundreds of people in the club for a year. What he got was just his momentary pleasure, what he had to do was to attract the attention of the media, and at the same time make a reasonable complaint.

There is no absolute fairness in this world, but as long as the media is watching them, they will not dare to mess around, but at least it has a certain deterrent effect. As for filing a complaint, it is a reflection of Ajax's resistance to unfair treatment , Let everyone see clearly UEFA's attitude.

Of course, Ye Qiu also believes very much that no one will be so stupid as to make some things on the stage public in order to stop a team, because if the world can see the truth clearly, then the game will have no authority. said.

This world is like this, you do it secretly, I guess, yes, I don’t know, but if it is completely public, then I’m sorry, you play by yourself, I won’t play with you, let alone Ajax In any case, he is also one of the founders of G14. He really played too much, and no one can guarantee that there will be no trouble.

Regarding Montero's foul, Lippi took a low-key approach. He said that he did not pay attention at the time and did not know whether Montero had fouled, or whether he had committed a foul.

"I don't know what happened at the time, but I believe in the fairness and justice of the referee. He must have his reasons for making such a penalty, and at the same time I also believe in my players."

Ye Qiu was not surprised by Lippi's answer. Could it be that he lost the game now, and told the media, yes, Montero was a tactical foul, and the referee didn't get a red card?If you really say that, Lippi must have lost his mind, and he doesn't have to continue to play football.

At the end of the press conference, both Ye Qiu and Lippi once again expressed their confidence in the team's promotion.

In Ye Qiu's words, with two away goals in hand, he has more advantages. As long as he doesn't play too badly at the Arena, he has a great chance of advancing.

As for what kind of tactics he would adopt in the Arena, Ye Qiu chose to keep it a secret, but he said ambiguously that he would choose the most suitable tactics. As for what is the most suitable, it is up to the media to guess .

Lippi also expressed his confidence in the promotion, and he even said that he would play more aggressively and aggressively at the Arena.

"We're going to win a game on the road, which requires us to play more aggressively, so we'll show our best at the Arena."
