Volume 1 Chapter 200 Can't Hold It

Ye Qiu didn't know about the meeting between Eliza and Evariste Mutra, and after the latter returned home, he simply told him that Evariste Mutra was just here to inquire about the news, and he didn't say much after hearing that Ye Qiu was not free.

"Leave them alone, the wealthy family is like this, putting on a high-minded appearance, and when they beg us!" Ye Qiu patted Eliza on the shoulder and said, the two are now close friends who advance and retreat together.

Eliza also continued to be busy with her own affairs, just like someone who didn't have to do anything, and Ye Qiu was not idle. On 12 April, Ajax played away to Breda. Because of the hard-fought game with Juventus just now, Ye Qiu made appropriate rotations in this game, and finally defeated Breda 3:O away with Sneijder's opener and Van der Meyde's brace in the second half.

It is worth noting that in the last 20 minutes of this game, Ye Qiu replaced Huntelaar with Ibrahimovic, which was the first appearance of the Swedish center in nearly a month, but his performance was relatively average and failed to contribute to the team's attack. Regarding Ibrahimovic's performance, Ye Qiu gave a positive answer after the game, believing that Ibrahimovic will gradually find his form, and he needs to hone the game and get used to the rhythm and atmosphere of the game again.

As for whether he will arrange Ibrahimovic to start in the second round of the game, Ye Qiu did not give a clear answer, but only stated that whoever is in good shape will play. But in De Tokmost, Ye Qiu asked Peter Brandt to conduct a detailed examination of Ibrahimovic's body, and specially arranged targeted training to help him adjust his state and integrate into the rhythm and atmosphere of the game.

In the midweek Dutch Cup semi-finals, Ajax beat Feyenoord again in L:O with Van der Vaart's goal, and Ibrahimovic came on as a second-half substitute again, but the performance was still average.

Three days later, the team sat at the Arena Stadium and welcomed Roda Jc.

The Dutch striker showed his excellent form by opening the scoring for Ajax in the 15th minute by scoring the goal of J. Roda in the 15th minute, and before the game, he also said he would work hard to continue his start against Juventus.

In the 18th and 27th minutes, Van der Vaart and Sneijder scored in succession, and Ajax took a 3:O lead in the first half, but in the second half, Roda Jc began to exert force and took advantage of a mistake by Ajax to pull a goal back

Ye Qiu was replaced by Ibrahimovic in the 65th minute, and the Swedish center after a week of adjustment, the state has obviously improved a lot, and in the B3rd minute, he used his physical advantage to carry the opponent and volley vigorously in the penalty area, which made another goal for Ajax, 4:1.

As many have said, the goal was Ibrahimovic-esque, and it shows that the Swedish centre-forward is in good shape, and many are expecting him to start in the second leg against Juventus. In the last two rounds, although Ajax has won one after another, PSV Eindhoven's performance is not bad, continuing to win two consecutive victories, always chasing Ajax, showing the determination and fighting spirit to never give up until the last moment, and the same is true of Van Marwijk's Feyenoord.

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

After the 28th round of the Eredivisie, Ajax finally welcomed Juventus at their home stadium.

Someone once analyzed that the reason why the Champions League attracted attention was not the group stage, but the knockout stage.

To some extent, the group stage is more like a process of eliminating the weak and retaining the strong, and it is difficult for teams that are too weak to come out of the group stage, especially now that the two rounds of the group stage, basically the teams that can reach the quarterfinals are the best teams in Europe this season.

Because they are all collisions between the teams with the best strength and condition, the quarterfinals of the Champions League have become a real showdown between different styles, strong teams, and different sparks between different tactics, so that fans all over the world can feast their eyes.

And at the same time, because of the two-legged format 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 head coach's lineup to the state of the players, which have become the focus of attention of the media and fans before the game.

Just like this match between Ajax and Juventus, in the first leg at the Alp Stadium, Ajax reversed Juventus 2:1, which put Juventus in a very passive situation, Ajax's 2 away goals, so that Juventus must score at least 2 goals at the Arenal Stadium to have a chance to win.

So, what kind of tactics will Lippi use in this situation? Offensive or defensive?

What kind of coping tactics will Ye Qiu adopt? Will you hold on to the 2-1 scoreline, or will you continue to stick to your attacking philosophy?

All of this was revealed on this night at the Arena Stadium.

Juventus, who are playing away, still stick to the 4312 tactics they are good at, and Lippi's starting lineup has only made partial changes compared to the first leg.

Goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, Billindeli, Montero, Thuram and Zambrotta at the back, Tacchinadi, Conte and Camoranesi in midfield, Nedved up front and Piero and Trezeguet up front.

Left-back started than Lindley, Thuram returned to the middle to play at centre-back, partnering Montero, while Zambrotta was moved to the right, and the midfielder abandoned Tudor, who had a poor performance in the first leg, and chose the veteran Conte to start.

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

Edwin van der Sar was in goal, Abidal, Kivo, Lucio and McCone at the back, Arteta, Mascherano and Sneijder in midfield, and Robben, Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart up front.

This is Ajax's main lineup this season, and it is also the strongest lineup that Ye Qiu can put out at present, but what is more worrying is whether Ibrahimovic can show the strength that everyone expects after returning from injury?

This answer is still worrying even after the start of the game

Just three minutes into the game, Ajax combined McCone and Van der Vaart on the right, the latter cut inside with the ball and cut straight behind him, Ibrahimovic stepped in to make a shot, but Thuram was very precise and scrambled to block the Swede with his body first, preventing Ibrahimovic's shot, and Buffon got the ball safe.

Not long after, when the two were in a header battle, Ibrahimovic fell to the ground after landing, and Ajax's team doctor immediately rushed onto the pitch to test Ibrahimovic before lifting him off the field.

With one man missing, Juventus began to perform, especially Nedved

After losing Yaya Toure's dogskin plaster in the first leg, the Czechs immediately got more play, and when Zambrotta's pass came to him, the Czechs did not hesitate to dribble into the box, but the overly hurried shot went high, but it made Ajax feel the pressure.

Then Juventus attacked again, Piero took the ball on the left and cut in, Mascherano stood precisely and blocked Piero's angle, but Mascherano could not break the ball, and then the ball fell to the feet of Nedved, and the Czech shot from a distance, but the ball was too square, and Van der Sar held the ball firmly.

"Zlatan!" Taking advantage of Ibrahimovic standing on the sidelines, waiting for the opportunity for the dead ball to return to the field, Ye Qiu walked over, "Tell the players, don't press too high, we focus on the middle line, and when attacking on the right side, your position is to the left or retreat, give Van der Fatra more space." "Judging from the opening, Van der Vaart got into the game faster, and he got plenty of rest in the Eredivisie, the last game against Roda Jc, Ye Qiu replaced him early, and he looked more physical, and at the beginning of this game, he was very active when he returned to the right wing. Relatively speaking, Robben seems a little silent, but that doesn't mean that Robben is completely unthreatening.

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

Ibrahimovic nodded in agreement, he couldn't think much about it now, he could only say what Ye Qiu said, he did it, and judging from the past few years, Ye Qiu rarely made mistakes, and he was always able to find the opponent's loopholes.

Back on the field, Ibrahimovic immediately conveyed 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 in the middle line, and the focus of Ajax's defense in this game will start from the middle line and pull Juventus out, which can bring more space to the attack.

Juventus's offensive advance was not fast, Ajax began to deploy from the middle line, and Ye Qiu was confident that he could defend it.

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

At the Arena Stadium, they are very familiar with every inch of soil, every piece of grass, they know it by heart, so they get into the game faster than Juventus, and they know better than Juventus how to play in the game.

After the adjustments, the two sides began to fight fiercely along the halfway line, and the ball was changed frequently and quickly.

But shortly after Ibrahimovic returned to the pitch, Ajax launched another attack on the right.

Arteta won the ball and faced Camoranesi's defence, and the Spaniard chose to dribble horizontally to the right, and a cross pass was distributed directly to the right and handed to McCone, who was inserted in the back.

The Brazilian right-back was brilliant in the first leg, with Tacinadi rushing in to block McConn's cross, after all, there was a super-perverted Ibrahimovic in the box, and it was not a good thing to let Ajax cross too much.

But this time, McCone didn't cross, but went straight to Van der Vaart in front.

Van der Vaart dropped back to get the ball, and Billindelli was waiting behind him, but the Dutchman did not choose to break through, but took advantage of the opportunity to retreat to get the ball, and dribbled sideways to cut inside diagonally, straight to Montero.

The Uruguayan defender was furious with Van der Vaart, and in the first leg at the Alp Stadium, Van der Vaart shook him to the ground and made him lose face, and this time he saw Van der Vaart coming at him again, and immediately rushed out of his own defense zone and grabbed it.

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

After Ye Qiu introduced a series of physical testing methods, the injuries of many players in the team have been effectively estimated and controlled, just like Robben's testicular cancer, which has been treated and resolved as soon as possible, it is just a minor operation.

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

As early as Van der Vaart's time in the net, Ibrahimovic noticed that Robben was also leaning over, and he chose to retreat, either to meet Van der Vaart, but also to create space for Robben, or to play Thuram for Van der Vaart.

Sure enough, as soon as Ibrahimovic withdrew, Thuram didn't come out with him, you didn't come out with him, Van der Vaart passed, Ibrahimovic turned around, and at a distance of about 25 meters, the Swedes could fire directly.

For professional players, 30 meters can almost be said to be the range of shooting, and the feet are very hard.

As soon as Thuram came out, Robben immediately shook off Zambrotta and cut into the penalty area, and after Van der Vaart shook off Montero and Billindley, he didn't stick the ball and passed diagonally to Robben at the first time.

The Dutch Peter Pan was a blockbuster, shook off Zambrotta at great speed and rushed straight into the penalty area, received a pass from Van der Vaart at the edge of the penalty area, and continued to kill the right side of the goal, attracting Buffon's attention, and fired a low shot, the ball went straight into the lower right corner of the closer distance, L:01

Robben's low shot did not slow down at all, as if he had seen his goal in advance, he quickly rushed out of the Arena Stadium, and raced along the sidelines as fast as he could, receiving cheers from tens of thousands of Ajax fans throughout the Arena Stadium, all of whom were chanting Robben's name and congratulating the flying Dutchman!

The whole process is very long, but it only happened in a few seconds, Ajax advanced very fast, Juventus couldn't even keep up with the rhythm and pace of Ajax, especially Montero, who was almost played by Van der Vaart, as stiff as a puppeteer.

"It's too fast, Ajax's attack is just 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 at the very end, Ajax regrettably lost to Real Madrid, more people also feel that it is Zidane's kick out of the sky."

"However, this season's Ajax look more in control than last season, but when they want to rush and fly, we see a youngsters that are faster and more impactful than last season!"

"In the Alp Stadium before, Ajax's attack was somewhat curbed by Juventus, but now back at the familiar Arena Stadium, they immediately showed their strongest fighting power, their whole attack is very fast, the speed is amazing, especially on the two wings, really do both wings fly together!"

You must know that on the two wings of Ajax, Robben and Van der Vaart are very good speed players, McCone on the right side is stronger than defense, and the speed is also very fast, although Abidal on the left side is stronger than attacking, but in fact his speed is also very fast, but McCann's insertion is a resolute attack, and Abidal's insertion is to respond and receive the ball, which causes the Frenchman to look inconspicuous, and not as conspicuous as McIL male B.

Not only that, Lucio and Kifu are not slow, Arteta is also relatively fast, Sneijder and Mascherano are not bad, Ibrahimovic's speed and flexibility are also very good in high school forwards, coupled with the team's good touch and simple passing and receiving combination, making Ajax's overall advance very fast.

This kind of quickness is not reflected in the face of a stubborn and solid defence, but Juventus' starting tactics in this game are obviously not conservative, and they obviously want to open up the situation aggressively and strive for goals, which makes it impossible for their defense to be as unbreakable as the last game.

As Ye Qiu consciously arranged the team to defend in the middle line, and let Juventus stretch out their formation and gradually press it out, the space in the half court was large, and there were more opportunities for Ajax to take advantage of, which led to the offensive cooperation just now.

That said, Ajax's attacking push was astonishing!

"This time, I'll see how you can fight!" Ye Qiu turned his head sideways and looked at Lippi, who looked angry because of the goal conceded.

Ajax are 3-1 up on aggregate and have two away goals, so if Juventus want to advance, they will need to score at least two goals to level the aggregate and send the game to extra time, and they need to score a third if they want to advance.

There is only a little time left for Juventus.

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

As early as the first round, Ye Qiu noticed that Juventus's ball advancement speed was not fast, and compared to Ajax, it could even be said to be slow, so Ye Qiu dared to arrange the focus of defense in the midfield in this game. This makes it easier for Ajax to counterattack. Lippi has no other choice but to attack! Therefore, after conceding the goal, Juventus did not surprise Ye Qiu, and directly besieged Ajax's goal, actively attacking, Billindeli on the left, Zambrotta on the right, and Camoranesi in the midfield, frequently participated in the attack.

Ajax did not give an inch, arranging a defensive line dominated by Sneijder, Arteta and Mascherano in the midfield, McCone also stuck to the right side, coupled with the active interference strategy of the front trident, so that although Ajax did not retreat, the defense was very solid, and he would not want to break through easily for a while.

On the contrary, it was Juventus, who frequently showed flaws behind them, and Ajax found opportunities to counterattack several times.

"Juventus is too risky to play like this, really give Ajax a good opportunity to counterattack, they can't hold it at all!" The on-site commentator shouted loudly, but there was a bit of fear that the world would not be chaotic in his tone.
