As Leo? According to Ben Harker, the benefits of defending high post are clear.

That is, when Ajax switched from defense to attack, the two wingers, Robben and Van der Vaart, were always able to approach the opponent's two full-backs in the shortest possible time, and even cut into the gap between the full-backs and the central defenders, which is a great advantage for any team's attack.

Because, as long as you have a good passer behind you and can get the ball behind the opposition defence in the shortest possible time, then the speed and explosiveness of Van der Vaart and Robben are enough to form an anti-offside position in a split second.

Like this time, Sneijder got the ball in front of Lucio, and he had PSV Eindhoven's defenders behind him, so he didn't let the ball linger at his feet and knocked it back to Gilberto? Silva, with his right hand raised in the air, quickly got rid of the defender and ran into the gap.

Gilberto? Silva was born in Brazil, his technical skills are not excellent, but he is definitely not weak, he saw Sneijder raise his hand, he already realized that the Dutch midfielder was looking for someone to hit the wall one-two, so he was like a wall when he played a wall game in De Tokmost, and pushed the ball back with a touch of the ball.

Sneijder adjusted his stance after getting rid of it, turning to face the opposing half.

The ball came to his feet and he immediately noticed Robben, because Oye's side was suffering from speed, so he didn't hesitate to squeeze a quick half-high overhead ball against the incoming ball and go straight behind Oye.

Robben was already aware of this when he saw Sneijder facing his side, so he rushed forward quickly at the moment of Sneijder's pass, using his speed and agility to easily shake off Oye, and the whole person was like a sharp arrow off the string, quickly penetrating the Eindhoven backline.

Winning the ball, a trip, catching up, the whole process was not muddy or ambiguous, and the speed of the advance did not slow down at all.

'Ajax played a very quick counter-attack and Sneijder passed the ball to Robben on the left.

"Robben is in an offside position, the speed of the advance is very fast, and he has entered the Eindhoven penalty area, will Eindhoven's goalkeeper Watrus attack?"

"Robben, oh my God, a feint, it's gone!!"

"Robben shook Watrus and scored with an empty goal!!

“goalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll！！！”

"Ajax opened the scoring against PSV Eindhoven in the 37th minute of the first half!"

'It was a brilliant shot from the left side of Ajax, Arjan? Robben!! ”

In the roar of the on-site commentator, all the Ajax fans in the stadium rushed out of their seats like crazy, rushed to the front of the fence, and shouted in unison to cheer for the Dutch youngster who had just joined Ajax and played the team's first official game!

Robben shook Watrus and pushed the ball into the empty goal, and at that moment, his whole mind went blank, and it wasn't until the whole stadium erupted in thunderous cheers that he suddenly realized that he had scored!

He rushed out of the Eindhoven penalty area almost without thinking, waving his hands wildly along the way, constantly shouting, venting the excitement and excitement in his heart, because he represented the traditional Dutch powerhouse Ajax, and he scored the goal by the champion of the Eredivisie last season, PSV Eindhoven!

This was something Robben could have imagined a year ago when he was still in the youth team of Groningen, but now he has done it!

All the Ajax players rushed off the pitch and rushed to the sidelines one by one, surrounding Robben in the middle to celebrate his team-mate's first goal, while Robben hugged Sneijder, who had provided an assist.

Arjen Robben was beautiful against offside, lightning on the ball and even flicked past the goalkeeper, but it was all based on Sneijder's just right pass.

There was a slow-motion replay of the whole process of Robben's goal on the live TV screen, and everyone could clearly see that Ajax went from breaking the ball to hitting the wall to anti-offside, the whole process was almost completed in one breath, and the players played skillful continuous cooperation, which made it difficult for PSV Eindhoven's defenders to keep up with the pace of Ajax.

"Your training method should be the first good!" Bobby? When Hams hugged Ye Qiu to celebrate the goal, he shouted loudly in his ear, he is not a fan, he will not only pay attention to the players, on the contrary, he knows very clearly that Ye Qiu's training method is the key to the team's rapid and skillful cooperation.

This may not work every time, but if it does once, the threat is very great.

"You're the number one!" Ye Qiu smiled and hugged Bobby? Harms then hugged the rest of his assistants excitedly, because the goal did not come easily, but it boosted the morale of the whole Ajax.

In the stands, when Van Praag saw Ajax score first, the excited Ajax president got up from his seat and jumped excitedly in the aisle, just like the crazy fans around him, "Score, we score!!" ”

Leo? Ben Hack was not too surprised by this, because he had long felt that the pressure on PSV Eindhoven was very high in the high post, and even a slight mistake could be exploited by Ajax, especially since the individual ability of Ajax's three attackers was excellent.

Robben is good at attacking, excellent one-on-one ability, Van der Vaart is good at cutting inside and the most behind passing, Ibrahimovic suppresses the opponent's two central defenders, and has a strong deterrent inside and outside the penalty area, from the characteristic point of view, Ajax's three attackers are very complementary, but there is still a lack of some tacit understanding and contact.

Van Praag turned his head to look at Eindhoven general manager Frank not far away, after an excited celebration. Arneson, whose already gloomy expression looked like a corpse coming out of a coffin, was a little gloomy and frightening, and it could be seen that he was very angry and dissatisfied with the fact that Eindhoven had been broken down.

For this strong general manager, Van Praag still admires more, he is indeed a very capable manager, but the problem is that his power is too strong, and his possessiveness is too scary, so it will lead to his popularity is not good.

PSV Eindhoven have done a good job of staffing the club, with a strong Arneson paired with a weak Gretz, and a combination of strength and weakness is an important factor in ensuring PSV Eindhoven's thriving results over the years.

On the contrary, it was last season that Ajax had problems with the staffing of the management, which led to the big turmoil.

Standing on the rostrum, looking at Ye Qiu, who was standing in front of the coach's box of the home team and constantly directing the players to rearrange and stand, Van Praag had strong confidence in him for the first time.

"Perhaps, he can really bring change and revival to Ajax!"

Leo? Ben Hack sat on the sidelines, heard Van Praag's muttering, smiled slightly, and said nothing.

…………

…………

With a score of 1:0 to end the first half, Ajax can be described as full of morale.

On the other hand, PSV Eindhoven, who looked arrogant and arrogant before the game, now their players are like defeated roosters, drooping their heads and looking afraid to see people, and they got into the players' tunnel.

Ye Qiu accompanied the players into the locker room of the home team, and he saw that the players were all in a very happy mood in the locker room talking about some things that happened in the first half.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and this is what we are talking about!

"Alright, everyone!" Ye Qiu clapped his hands vigorously and silenced the players who were full of interest.

"We only have 15 minutes, and I'll focus on a few questions!"

As soon as Ye Qiu spoke, the players suddenly fell silent one by one, and they all looked at their head coach.

'First of all, in the first half we had a bad period of play, we were dominated by PSV Eindhoven because we were a bit scattered in the formation and as soon as Kezman dropped back to help the midfield, our control of the midfield dropped and we were very passive, which is not a very good phenomenon!

'I want to be mindful of that in the second half, once Kezman drops back, one of our two centre-backs has to go up and get up, Gilberto, you press forward, Sneijder and Keita have to be closer to our attack, understand?'

This is only a temporary approach, and the risk is also very high, but for the time being, Ye Qiu can't find a better solution.

"I hope that each of you must understand that the prerequisite for high defense is that every player on our three lines must maintain close contact and echo with each other, and the three lines must remain compact and orderly, and cannot be cut off by the opponent, otherwise, the large space behind us is our deadliest threat!"

Regarding this point, Ye Qiu had already talked to the players at the tactical preparation meeting, so the players were also able to understand the importance of Ye Qiu's words, so they all nodded in agreement.

"And the other one, Zlatan, in the first half you didn't connect the two wings well enough, you only had two passes with Robben and Van der Vaart, and that's definitely not a reasonable phenomenon, what we need is a team attacking combination and not a single attack!"

Although a goal was scored, in fact, to some extent, it was still the result of the striker playing alone.

Robben's goal had little to do with the other players, more with the support of the midfield and the result of the anti-offside position.

Ibrahimovic raised his head, looked at Ye Qiu, did not speak, and lowered his head again.

Ye Qiu knew that if this kid didn't speak, it meant that he already knew the way.

To deal with such a person who is arrogant and has a strong sense of self-esteem, chattering lessons can only backfire, pointing out his problems and mistakes, it is enough, if he understands, he will correct it, if he still does not understand, then replace him, let him think it out on the bench and then talk about it.

"And our two full-backs, Abidal and Heitinga, once the centre-backs come up, you have to shrink your position to the middle to fill the gap left by the centre-backs, Gilberto? Silva will need to provide adequate protection up front, while Keita and Sneijder will also need to be active in forming a defensive line in midfield. ”

"Remember, guys, we're all together!" Ye Qiu's right hand clenched his fist and hit the palm of his left hand hard, making a crisp snap!

…………

…………

In Ye Qiu's opinion, the Ajax team he formed is fully capable of achieving high-level defense and giving full play to the 433 offensive tactics he has transformed, but judging from the warm-up game and this game against Eindhoven, the effect is not very good, and problems are frequent.

The overall excellent ability to pass and receive the ball and run without the ball is the basis for ensuring the 433 high defense, which is the core of the team's operation, and the excellent attacker can suppress the opponent's back line at any time, so as to ensure that the opponent's defense line does not dare to press easily and cannot rush to the midfield.

After these two points are achieved, the high-level defense will naturally take shape, and the team's ball control and smooth offense will naturally appear, and the siege reinforcements promoted by Ye Qiu can also be carried out naturally in the opponent's half.

The benefits of siege reinforcements are obvious, it is not an ordinary defensive steal, he does not seek to grab the ball at his feet, siege reinforcements emphasize interception, interception of the opponent's exit route, interception of the opponent's pass.

The difference between interception and steal is that interception is when the ball is running halfway, at this time, as long as it is intercepted, it can directly counterattack, but steal is not, it is more about grabbing and destroying the ball within the scope of the opposing player, so after the steal is successful, the first priority is not to counterattack, but to protect the ball.

There is no doubt that at the height of high post defense and modern defensive system, interception is the trend, and the proportion of steals will gradually be thinned.

The biggest problem in attack exposed by Ajax from this game is that the connection and interaction between the center forward and the wings are not close enough, Robben and Ibrahimovic are almost incompatible, and the number of combinations between Van der Vaart and Ibrahimovic is pitiful.

If there is not enough pressure on the front line, the layout of the opponent's back line will be more calm, and the support for the midfield will be greater, once the midfield is liberated, Ajax's high defense will not be able to advance smoothly, the overall tactics will be suppressed, and even the defense will be affected.

The core of all-offense and all-defense is the organic combination of offense and defense, and it is no longer important to attack or defend, and it is impossible to distinguish between them.

Therefore, at halftime, Ye Qiu spent a large part of his time knocking Ibrahimovic, just to improve the connection and interaction between him and the two wings, and in the second half, the situation began to improve, and Ajax naturally began to continue to maintain the pressure on Eindhoven.

Ye Qiu sat in the coach's seat, holding his chin, watching the game, but his brows showed no sign of loosening.

It's not that he's not happy with the situation, on the contrary, the game went smoothly, PSV Eindhoven was very uncomfortable with Ajax's high defence, and he had let Kezman retreat and struggled a little, but Ajax quickly re-tied him back.

Having been pressed in their own half for a long time, PSV Eindhoven had a powerful sense of frustration and frustration up and down.

Bobby sitting next to him? Harms also saw Ye Qiu's worries and smiled, "The situation has been controlled by us, what are you worried about?" ”

Ye Qiuwan was stunned, but soon became gloomy again, "I was thinking, we must solve the problem of scattered formations and too many mistakes, otherwise, we will all suffer a big loss sooner or later!" ”

In Ye Qiu's positioning, Ajax's set of tactics should be able to play both large-scale frontal offensive positional battles and lightning sneak attacks with defensive counterattacks, but once the formation is too loose, it may not be a big problem when encountering a strong team, but once it encounters a weak team, it will be very serious.

Today's team as a whole is not strong enough, not as good as Ye Qiu's Ajax, and the strong teams are not willing to defend and counterattack, just like Eindhoven, they play Ajax to press out to play, which will give Ajax more opportunities to defend in a high position, but if it is a weak team with insufficient strength, they themselves are in the backfield, and the loose Ajax is bound to easily fall into a single battle, and there will be more mistakes.

PSV Eindhoven is a clear example of this, with attacking forwards, organising and intercepting in midfield, and defending at the back, which is clear and well-organized, but under the onslaught of Ajax's high defence, it looks very mechanical and can be easily cut apart.

Bobby? Harms could only laugh back.

For Ajax's high-level defense, he gave affirmation, and Ye Qiu also put a lot of effort into preparation, but it is obvious that the cumbersome and complex system is far from being able to be completed overnight, especially in the last few games, a lot of problems have been exposed, which will bring headaches to Ye Qiu.

But maybe it's just Bobby? Harms also couldn't give Ye Qiu much help.

Just when Ye Qiu had a headache, the Ajax players on the field finally created another opportunity.

After the morale of the second half was weakened, PSV Eindhoven could not get rid of the constraints of Ajax's high defence, and finally made another fatal mistake, Van Bommel distributed a side ball to Bouma that was stabbed by Sneijder to Van der Vaart.

Van der Vaart dribbled the ball and drove straight into the right side, and soon entered the Eindhoven penalty area, facing the returning central defender Nikiforov, Van der Vaart made a quick stop and cut inward, knocked his left foot to the middle, and Ibrahimovic in the back row met the ball with a powerful shot.

The ball almost stuck to the turf and into the Eindhoven goal, goalkeeper Watrus could not prevent Ajax from scoring again, and could only watch as Ibrahimovic rewrote the score to 2:0!

The Ajax fans in the stadium once again cheered wildly in celebration.

This goal that occurred in the 61st minute completely sealed the victory of Ajax, and also taught the ambitious PSV Eindhoven a painful lesson, casting a thick shadow on their road to defending the title!
