The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 198

Ye Qiu didn't know about the meeting between Elisa and Evariste Mutra. After the latter returned home, he simply told him that Evariste Mutra just came to find out the news. Hearing that Ye Qiu was not free, he didn't say much.

"Don't worry about them, that's how rich families are. They put on a condescending look, and sometimes they beg us!" Ye Qiu said, patting Eliza's shoulder. The two are now close friends who advance and retreat together.

Eliza continued to be busy with her own affairs like a normal person, and Ye Qiu was not idle either.

On April 4, Ajax challenged Breda away.

Because of the tough battle with Juventus just now, Ye Qiu made a proper rotation in this game. Finally, relying on Sneijder's first goal and Van der Meyde's second half scored twice, they defeated Juventus 3-0 away. Breda.

It is worth noting that in the last 20 minutes of this game, Ye Qiu replaced Huntelaar with Zlatan Ibrahimovic. This was the Swedish center's first appearance in nearly a month, but his performance was relatively In general, failed to contribute to the team's offense.

Regarding Ibrahimovic's performance, Ye Qiu gave an affirmative answer after the game, thinking that Ibrahimovic will gradually regain his form, and he needs to hone the game and get used to the game again. Rhythm and atmosphere.

Ye Qiu didn't give a clear answer to whether he would arrange for Zlatan Ibrahimovic to start in the second round, but only stated that whoever is in good condition will play.

But in De Tokmost, Ye Qiu asked Peter Brandt to conduct a detailed inspection on Ibrahimovic's body, and specially arranged targeted training to help him adjust his state and integrate into the rhythm of the game and atmosphere.

In the Dutch Cup semi-finals in midweek, Ajax beat Feyenoord 1-0 with Van der Vaart's goal in the away game. Ibrahimovic came off the bench again in the second half, but his performance was still very average .

Three days later, the team sat at the Arenal Stadium and ushered in Rhoda JC.

The starting striker in this game was Huntelaar. The Dutch striker broke the goal of Roda JC in the 16th minute and opened the scoring for Ajax, showing his excellent competitive state. Before the game , He also said that he will work hard to perform and strive to continue to start in the game against Juventus.

In the 18th and 27th minutes, Van der Vaart and Sneijder scored consecutively. Ajax took a 3-0 lead in the first half. A mistake by Kex pulled a goal back.

Ye Qiu replaced Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the 65th minute. After a week of adjustments, the Swedish center improved significantly. He volleyed vigorously in the penalty area and made another victory for Ajax, 83:4.

As many people have said, this goal is an Ibrahimovic-style goal, from which it can be seen that the Swedish center forward has adjusted well, and many people are also wondering whether he can score in the second place. When playing Juventus in the round, I will start to look forward to it.

In the last two rounds, although Ajax has won one after another, Eindhoven's performance is not bad. They continue to win two consecutive victories and keep chasing Ajax, showing that they will never give up until the last moment. Determination and fighting spirit, the same is true of Van Marwijk's Feyenoord.

But so far, there are only 6 rounds left in the league. Is the possibility of reversal still there?

After the 28th round of the Eredivisie, Ajax finally ushered in Juventus at their home court.

…………

…………

Someone once analyzed that the reason why the UEFA Champions League attracts attention is not the group stage, but the knockout stage.

To some extent, the group stage is more like a process of weeding out the weak and retaining the strong. It is difficult for a team that is too weak to stand out from the group stage, especially now that this two-round group stage can basically reach the top. The top eight teams are the teams with the best strength and state in Europe this season.

Also because they are all collisions between the teams with the best strength and state, the quarter-finals of the Champions League have become a real confrontation between different styles, strong teams, and different tactics. The different sparks have feasted the eyes of fans all over the world.

And at the same time, because of the two-round match system of the knockout round, coupled with the existence of various knockout factors such as away goals, all fans are very concerned about the situation of the two teams in the knockout round, from the coach's formation to the players. The state of the game has become the focus of the media and fans before the game.

Just like the match between Ajax and Juventus, in the first round at the Alpi Stadium, Ajax reversed Juventus 2:1, which put Juventus in a very passive situation. Ajax's 2 away goals made Juventus have to score at least 2 goals at the Arena to have a chance to win.

So, in this case, what kind of tactics will Lippi adopt?Offense or defense?

What kind of countermeasures will Ye Qiu adopt?Should we keep the 2:1 score, or continue to stick to our offensive philosophy?
All of this was revealed this night at the Arena Stadium.

Juventus in the away game still insists on the 4312 tactics they are good at. Lippi's starting lineup has only undergone partial changes compared to the first round of the game.

The goalkeeper is Buffon, the defense is Bilindelli, Montero, Thuram and Zambrotta, the midfielder is Tacchinardi, Conte and Camoranesi, the midfielder is Nedved, The double forwards are Del Piero and Trezeguet.

The left-back started better than Lindley, and Thuram, who was in better shape, returned to the center to play as a center-back, partnering with Montero, while Zambrotta was transferred to the right, and the midfielder gave up his poor performance in the first round. The good Tudor chose the veteran Conte to start. This series of changes are counterpoint substitutions, which makes people unable to see Lippi's thoughts.

Compared with Lippi's secrecy, Ye Qiu's changes are very obvious, from the original 4222 to 433 traditional tactics.

The goalkeeper is Van der Sar, the defense is Abidal, Kivu, Lucio and Maicon, the midfielder is Arteta, Mascherano and Sneijder, and the front trident is Robben , Zlatan Ibrahimovic and van der Vaart.

This is Ajax's main lineup this season, and it is also the strongest lineup that Ye Qiu can form. What is more worrying is whether Zlatan Ibrahimovic can perform well after returning from injury. The strength that everyone expected?
Even after the start of the game, this answer is still worrying.

In just 3 minutes of the opening, Ajax was on the right after Maicon and van der Vaart cooperated. Ram's awareness was very precise, and he blocked the Swede with his body first, preventing Ibrahimovic's shot, and Buffon got the ball steadily.

Not long after, when the two were fighting for a header, Ibrahimovic fell to the ground after landing. Ajax's team doctor immediately rushed into the field and performed a check on Ibrahimovic. After the inspection, it was carried out of the venue.

With one less player, Juventus began to perform, especially Pavel Nedved.

After losing Yaya Toure's skinny marking in the first round, the Czech immediately got more play. When Zambrotta passed the ball in front of him, the Czech rushed in with the ball without hesitation. The penalty area, but too anxious to shoot high, but it made Ajax feel the pressure.

Then Juventus attacked again, Del Piero took the ball from the left and cut inside, Mascherano's precise position blocked Piero's angle, but Mascherano failed to steal the ball, After the ball fell to Nedved's feet, the Czech made another long shot, but the ball was too straight, and Van der Sar firmly hugged the ball.

"Zlatan!" While Ibrahimovic was standing on the sidelines, waiting for the dead ball to return to the court, Ye Qiu walked over, "Tell the players, don't press too high, we focus on the center line Nearby, also, when attacking from the right, your stance should be left or retreated a bit to give van der Vaat more space."

Judging from the beginning, van der Vaart entered the game faster, and he got a full rest in the Eredivisie. In the last game against Rhoda JC, Ye Qiu replaced him early, and his physical fitness seems to be more abundant. , At the beginning of this game, he returned to the right wing and was very active.

Relatively speaking, Robben seems a bit quiet, but this does not mean that Robben is completely without threat.

For this kind of player with very strong personal ability, as long as you are careless, he can make you suffer a lot.

Ibrahimovic nodded in agreement, he couldn't think much now, he could only do what Ye Qiu said, and from the past few years, Ye Qiu rarely made mistakes and could always find the opponent's loopholes .

Back on the court, Ibrahimovic immediately relayed Ye Qiu's words to his teammates.

As early as before the game, Ye Qiu explained to Arteta that the organization line should be placed around the center line. In this game, Ajax's key defense will start from the center line and pull Juventus out, which can give the offense Bring more space.

Juventus's offensive speed was not fast, Ajax deployed defense from the center line, Ye Qiu was confident that they could defend.

With Zlatan Ibrahimovic's reminder again, the players quickly responded to Ye Qiu's arrangement.

At the Arena, they are very familiar with every inch of soil and grass here, so they enter the game faster than Juventus, and they are more clear than Juventus Know how to play in the game.

After the adjustment, the opponents began to fight fiercely along the center line, and the ball was changed frequently and quickly.

But shortly after Ibrahimovic returned to the court, Ajax launched another attack from the right.

After Arteta got the ball and faced Camoranesi's defense, the Spaniard chose to dribble the ball to the right, crossed the ball with one foot, and directly distributed it to the right, handing it over to Maicon who inserted in the back.

The Brazilian right-back performed very well in the first round of the game. Tacchinardi rushed up immediately to prevent Maicon from crossing. After all, there was a super abnormal Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the penalty area, which made Ajax too much Crossing is not a good thing.

But this time, Maicon didn't make a cross, but passed it to Van der Vaart in front.

Van der Vaart retreated to take the ball, and Billindley was waiting behind him, but the Dutchman did not choose to break through, but took advantage of the opportunity of retreating to take the ball, dribbling the ball sideways and cutting inward, approaching Montero.

The Uruguayan defender was furious at Van der Vaart. In the first round at the Alpi Stadium, Van der Vaart shook him to the ground, which made him lose face. This time, when he saw Van der Vaart coming towards him again, he rushed out immediately. Break through your own defense zone and go up to grab it.

Van der Vaart had been waiting for him to grab it, and as soon as he saw Montero coming up, he immediately kicked the ball forward, and the ball quickly passed between Montero and Billindelli, and Van der Vaart himself rushed forward immediately.

You know, the current Van der Vaart is not injured like Ye Qiu in his previous life. After Ye Qiu introduced a series of physical detection methods, the injuries of many players on the team have been effectively predicted and controlled, just like Robben's. Testicular cancer has been dealt with and resolved early, it is just a minor operation.

Therefore, although Van der Vaart's speed is not as fast as Robben's, he is still very sharp, quickly passing between the two.

As early as when Van der Vaart cut in, Ibrahimovic noticed that Robben was also leaning over, so he chose to retreat, which could not only meet Van der Vaart, but also create space for Robben, and also create space for Robben. Van der Vaat pulls out Thuram.

Sure enough, as soon as Ibrahimovic withdrew, Thuram didn’t come out with him. If you don’t follow him, Van der Vaart passed the ball, and Ibrahimovic turned around. At a distance of about 25 meters, the Swede completely Can be fired directly.

For professional players, almost all within 30 meters can be said to be within the shooting range, and the toes are very hard.

As soon as Thuram came out, Robben immediately threw away Zambrotta and inserted into the penalty area. After Van der Vaart shook off Montero and Billindelli, he didn't stick the ball, and immediately passed it diagonally to Robben.

Peter Pan of the Netherlands is nothing but a blockbuster, throwing away Zambrotta at an extremely fast speed and heading straight for the penalty area. After receiving a pass from van der Vaart at the front of the penalty area, he continued to attack the right side of the goal, attracting After capturing Buffon's attention, he shot a low shot and the ball went straight to the lower right corner, which was closer, 1:0!

Robben's speed didn't slow down after the low shot. He seemed to have seen his goal in advance. He quickly rushed out of the Arena, galloped along the sidelines, and received the data from the entire Arena. Thousands of Ajax fans cheered and cheered, they were all shouting Robben's name, congratulating the flying Dutchman!
The whole process is very long, but it only happened in a few seconds. Ajax's advancement speed is very fast, and Juventus can't even keep up with Ajax's rhythm and pace. , especially Montero, who was almost played by Van der Vaart, as stiff as a puppet.

"Too fast, Ajax's attack speed is too fast!"

"As early as last season, we all deeply felt the speed and impact of this Dutch team. At that time, in Europe, almost no defensive team could stop the Dutch attack, even in the end. , Ajax's regrettable defeat to Real Madrid, and more people think that it is the credit of Zidane's kick."

"However, Ajax this season seems to be more in control than last season, but when they want to rush, when they want to fly, we see a team that is faster and more impactful than last season. Strong Young Guard!"

"At the Alpi Stadium, Ajax's offense was somewhat restrained by Juventus, but now they are back at the familiar Arenal Stadium, and they immediately showed their strongest combat effectiveness. Their entire offensive rhythm is very fast. Fast, the speed is amazing, especially on the two flanks, it has really achieved both wings!"

You know, on the two wings of Ajax, Robben and Van der Vaart are both very fast players. Maicon on the right is better at attacking than defending, and his speed is also very fast. Although Abidal on the left is Defense is stronger than offense, but in fact his speed is also very fast, but Maicon's insertion is a resolute attack, while Abidal's insertion is to support and catch the ball, which makes the Frenchman look indifferent Dew, not as conspicuous as Maicon.

Not only that, the speed of Lucio and Kivu is not slow, Arteta is also faster, Sneijder and Mascherano are not bad in speed, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic's speed and flexibility are high. The center forwards are also very good, coupled with the team's good one-touch and simple pass and catch coordination, Ajax's overall advancement speed is very fast.

This kind of quickness cannot be reflected when encountering a tenacious and solid defense, but Juventus's starting tactics in this game are obviously not conservative. They also obviously want to actively open up the situation and strive for goals, which makes their The defense can no longer be as unbreakable as in the previous game.

As Ye Qiu consciously let the team arrange the defense on the center line, let Juventus stretch out their formation, and when they are gradually pushed out, there will be more space in the half, and more opportunities for Ajax to take advantage of. , This was the offensive cooperation just now.

Having said that, Ajax's offensive advancement speed is still surprising!

"This time, let's see how you can play!" Ye Qiu turned his head and looked at Lippi, who was furious because he missed the ball.

According to the current total score, Ajax is leading 3:1 and has two away goals, so if Juventus wants to advance, they must score at least 2 goals to equalize the total score and make the game even better. Going into extra time, and they need to score a third goal if they want to advance.

There is only so little time in the game, and there is not much time left for Juventus.

Ye Qiu knew this very well, so he waved his hand and didn't ask the team to retreat. He directly deployed defense in the midfield, but focused on defense and actively counterattacked on the spot.

As early as in the first round, Ye Qiu noticed that Juventus's speed of advancing the ball was not fast, compared to Ajax, it could even be said to be slow, so Ye Qiu dared to push the ball forward in this game. The focus of defense is arranged in the midfield.

This makes it easier for Ajax to counterattack.

Lippi has no other choice, he can only attack if he wants to win!

Therefore, after conceding the goal, Juventus did not go beyond Ye Qiu's expectations, and directly formed a siege of Ajax's goal, actively launching an attack, with Billindelli on the left and Zambrow on the right. Tower, together with Camoranesi in the midfield, frequently participated in the attack.

Ajax did not give an inch, and arranged a defensive line in the midfield mainly composed of Sneijder, Arteta and Mascherano. Maicon also stuck to the right, plus the front three Halberd's active interference strategy made Ajax not retreat, but the defense was very solid, and it would not be easy to break through for a while.

On the contrary, Juventus frequently exposed flaws behind them, and Ajax found opportunities to counterattack several times.

"It's too risky for Juventus to play like this. It's really a good opportunity for Ajax to fight back. They can't defend at all!" .
