The new training method has a very good effect on training the players' ability to stop, pass and touch the ball in a fast-paced manner, after all, practice makes perfect, and the players are familiar with it on the training ground, and they will use it freely in the game.

And through Ye Qiu's long-term research, it was found that this training method is also of great help to the physical fitness of the players.

Just imagine running around a square at a constant speed for a long time and changing directions, which is not a small requirement for the player's physical fitness.

The upgraded version of the new training method is actually an upgrade on the original basis.

It's still the 10-meter by 10-meter square, and it's still divided into four corners of ABCD, with one person each in BCD, and the other 5 people are in Zone A, and they are also served from A to B, which is the same as before the upgrade.

The difference is that when A serves to B and immediately runs to B, player B knocks the ball back to A for the first time, and then runs to C, while player A who runs to B gets the knockback ball halfway and passes directly diagonally to C, and player C receives the ball and knocks it back to B who is running to C, and then runs to D, while B passes diagonally to D, and so on.

This kind of practice routine is actually still testing the player's passing and receiving coordination, but this time it has added a lot of difficulties, first of all, the triangle coordination, especially when running at high speed, the observation of the companion's knockback ball, such as the judgment of the timing of the knockback, which is very important in this kind of training.

This kind of training has high requirements for the player's ability to pass back and receive the knock back and tacit cooperation, and the player's ability to pass, stop the ball and touch the ball with one foot is higher than that of the basic version, and the running ability also has higher requirements.

The triangle is the most basic element in the modern football system, and this kind of knockback and running is also very common in the game, such as the common 2-over-1, and even the continuous wall collision coordination, which is actually included in this set of training, so such a set of training methods can be said to be very close to actual combat.

Ye Qiu had learned about this set of upgraded training methods, and he felt that the so-called upgrade was actually an upgrade on the basic version, but these two sets of training methods were very useful, so he decided to persist and implement them for a long time in the training session, so that the players could train like an arm.

After the battle with Eindhoven, the morale of the second team of Ajax was greatly boosted, and the players admired Ye Qiu one by one.

Just like when he first started training the new training method, although he had the foundation of the new training method, when he first started practicing the upgraded version, he was also full of mistakes and omissions, but this time Ye Qiu was not afraid, because he had a full two weeks to slowly train the players and slowly prepare for the game.

defeated Eindhoven and made Ye Qiu famous in one fell swoop, but that was only in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, many people have only heard of him, and in Europe, his influence is even weaker, and it can even be said that he is not very famous, because now the mainstream of Europe is focusing on the four major leagues, who cares about the Netherlands?

However, this also brought benefits to Ye Qiu, that is, he could avoid the entanglement of reporters.

Utrecht's record in the Eredivisie has never been very good, since the eighties, although every season has been firmly relegated in the Eredivisie, but basically in the middle and lower reaches, this season from The Hague poached the 39-year-old young coach Mark? After Watt, the team's results have not been satisfactory.

But there is a very interesting point in that Utrecht's record is 7 wins, 1 draw and 10 defeats.

This is definitely an impressive record as they only managed 1 draw and the rest either lost or won.

At least looking at this result, it is not difficult to guess the style of this Utrecht team.

"Mark? Walt? ”

In the medical department without Huang Chu, Ye Qiu and Bobby? Harms, Van Doude, and his two assistants were chatting, and Ye Qiu asked the two old-timers about Utrecht's head coach Mark? Walt.

The Netherlands is actually small, and the football circle is even smaller.

"I remember this man!" Bobby? Hams smiled and tasted the Tieguanyin that Ye Qiu brought from his hometown, "Speaking of which, he has been favored by many people in the past two years, I remember that he debuted in Feyenoord and later went to The Hague, but after playing in The Hague for a year, he did not perform well, and he also worked as a youth team coach for half a year." ”

"I went to Dordrecht in '83, I returned to The Hague two years later as a youth team coach, then I was promoted to the first team in '90, I coached The Hague as a head coach in '91, but the results were not good, and I went back to the youth team to coach until '94 when I coached alone in the amateur league Lisse, and after two years of good results, I was called back by The Hague."

"In the two years he was in The Hague, he took The Hague, who was almost relegated at the time, to 8th in the league in the first season, to 5th in the league in the second season, and almost reached the European competition.

Speaking of which, Bobby? Hams Haluha smiled and shook his head, "But his coaching in Utrecht this season is still too immature, the overall strength of the team is unbalanced, there are too few draws, too many losses, and the points are not high, and the ranking is naturally declining all the way, and Utrecht's results are also half dead!" ”

Ye Qiu still can't see it, that 39-year-old Mark? Walter is still so famous.

"Some people say that the league relies on offense, but in my opinion, defense is the foundation!"

Bobby? Harms smiled at Ye Qiu and nodded, "That's right, without a good solid defense, the ups and downs of victory and defeat are too great, there is no continuity in the results, and there is a lack of efficiency and continuity in scoring points, just like Utrecht this season, there is always a feeling of hanging your head on your waist and gambling with others, either win and get 3 points, or lose nothing!" With that, Harms shook his head and smiled.

Perhaps, that's what he said, Mark? The reason why Walter is too immature.

Offense and defense in football are a bit similar to the yin and yang sides of Chinese Tai Chi, where you have me, I have you, and it's hard to tell who is more important than whom, and it's impossible to abandon the other side to survive alone.

Ye Qiu once studied his game against PSV Eindhoven very carefully, and put aside other factors, he finally came to a conclusion that in addition to the solid overall defense, several counterattacks played a pivotal role.

The threatening counter-attack made it clear to Gretz that Ajax II had enough ability to threaten their goal, so PSV Eindhoven did not dare to press too high when attacking, and they had to pay attention to the counter-attack behind them, which made it impossible for them to invest maximum strength in the attack.

It might be argued that the greater the threat of a counter-attack, the fewer forces PSV will have to attack, as they will have to take care of counter-attacks.

But it must also be noted that Ajax II's counter-attack is based on a solid defense.

So, the question is, is it the offense that matters? Or is defense important?

This will definitely evolve into a discussion of whether there is a chicken first and then an egg, or an egg and then a chicken!

Ye Qiu also understood in his previous life that the so-called league relies on offense, which is just an illusion, and the teams that can really win the championship are generally teams that do not fluctuate very much, such teams are generally more balanced in attack and defense, and they are very stable in scoring points.

Of course, it is not without Capello coaching Real Madrid for the second time, or the kind of Jedi counterattack that Rijkaard coached Barcelona, but that kind of counterattack depends on the right time, place, people and people, all of which are indispensable, and which manager will pin his hopes of winning the championship on this, which even Capello and Rijkaard themselves are not sure of?

Therefore, a really strong team and a team with championship appearance, the attack and defense must be very balanced, and the points are also very efficient.

"What? Thinking of how to fight Utrecht? "Bobby? Harms saw a smile on the corner of Ye Qiu's mouth and asked.

"I've been studying Utrecht's stats these days, I've done my own statistics, and I've found something very interesting, which is that this Utrecht team has very few comebacks and few goals in the second half, except for very few draws, and almost all of their wins have been the wave of attacks after the start of the first half!"

This is the result of Ye Qiu's own efforts, because he can't see the reports submitted by the first-team scouts to Waters and Westerhoff, so he uses a stupid method, which is to watch the video by himself or collect some data and count it himself.

After the eventually, he came to the conclusion that Utrecht's wins were almost always the first goal, and the first half was scored, and many of them were concentrated in the first 20 minutes, or even the first 10 minutes, and if they didn't score for more than 20 minutes, they would definitely lose.

That draw was a goal they scored in the 39th minute, but it was quickly equalised by the opposition and the two sides played 1-1.

So ...... "Bobby?" Harms is more and more appreciative of Ye Qiu.

If you want to talk about coaching talent, these are difficult to change, but diligence can make up for clumsiness, and this sentence also works for a head coach, but only if you know how hard you have to be diligent and in which areas, so that you can make up for it.

Ye Qiu undoubtedly has a very outstanding talent, and at the same time, he has a diligence that most people do not have.

"So, I'm not going to make them comfortable!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Bobby? Harms heard him playing dumb riddles, and pointed at him with a smile and scolded, but he also vaguely guessed that he was cunning.

"By the way, Bobby, I haven't thanked you yet, Eric has made a lot of progress recently, and his mood is much better than before, thank you!" Ye Qiu thought of Abidal, if it wasn't Bobby? Hams's words, Abidal may not be enlightened.

"That kid is a piece of jade, you have to carve it well." Bobby? Harms also admired Abidal.

In the war of football, only those who do not admit defeat can always have the last laugh.

"Actually, coaching a team is not as difficult as others think!" Bobby? Harms has a very good impression of Ye Qiu, so when he talks on weekdays, he will also casually say something that benefits Ye Qiu a lot. Harms didn't mind saying a little more, either.

With decades of coaching career and experience, Bobby? Harms's casual remarks are extraordinary.

"Today's teams are becoming more and more international, such as PSV Eindhoven, and the reason why they have been able to build a strong squad so quickly is because they have not only the Dutch, but also players from Africa, other European countries and South America, all from all over the world, with all kinds of beliefs, personalities and taboos."

"How to manage such a group of people, this is a headache that every manager has to have!" Bobby? Harms said lightly, but Ye Qiu listened very seriously, with a teachable attitude.

'It's not possible for any manager to be friendly to everyone in the dressing room, all he can do is to work together for a goal under the big picture of the club, and that requires the manager to understand the players, figure out from them what the players want, and then manage him through that!'

"In addition to that, the manager also needs to find some commonalities from each player, and if there is no commonality, then create a common ground for them, for example, set a goal for them, let them know in their hearts that they have to fight for this goal, so that a team can form a fighting force!"

Ye Qiu couldn't help but nod his head, this may be as the saying goes, twist into a rope!

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu couldn't help but think of one more thing.

Bobby? Harms seemed to be talking about experience at this time, but in fact, why wasn't he reminding Ye Qiu?

Ajax II are aiming to win the Dutch Youth League this season, but after beating PSV Eindhoven, that goal is not so difficult for the morale-boosting Ajax II side, or rather, the mentality of the players has changed, and they will be hungry for higher goals.

In the past, they could twist into a rope in order to defeat PSV Eindhoven, but now, if they defeat PSV Eindhoven and there is no new goal, then they may become a mess because of this.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu smiled and headed towards Bobby? Harms nodded, "Thank you, Bobby!" ”

"Don't thank me, I didn't say anything!" Bobby? Harms winked at Van Doud, and Harms smiled.

…………

…………

The next day, when the players arrived in Detokmost's second team dressing room, each of them could clearly see a large piece of paper on the wall of the dressing room, on which the two schedules were printed.

One of the fixtures is in the shape of a tree, starting with Ajax II's participation in the second round, listing three opponents from the last three rounds of the Dutch Cup, and at the top of the tree, there are still two games to go to the top of the tree, with the names of the three professional teams of Advance Eagles, PSV Eindhoven and Utrecht all written on it, and the first two teams still have scores.

Looking at this schedule, it is clear to the players that the manager is reminding them that the team is beating the Eagles and PSV Eindhoven to get to the present, and the next opponent is Utrecht.

At the bottom of the schedule, there is a sentence: Let all professional teams remember each and every one of us by name from now on!

Another schedule is relatively simple, everyone can clearly see at a glance, this is the second half of the Dutch Youth League, 13 rounds have been completed, there are still 13 rounds left in the second half, and then the opponent in each round is clearly written, so that people can see at a glance.

There is also a saying under the schedule: there is only one goal, the championship!

Two fixtures and a mix of fixtures for all the players to stand in front of them in a daze because they all know very well what that means.

In the history of Dutch football, many second teams have participated in the Dutch Cup, but no second team has ever won the Dutch Cup, if they do win the championship, then their group will undoubtedly go down in the history of Dutch football!

In particular, if they win the Youth League again, they will become the most legendary double in the history of Dutch football, what will it take them, and what do they need to say?

They are all a group of professional players, and some even have the ability to make a living by playing football, but there is also a difference between living by playing football, whether to become a professional player at the bottom, or to go to the next level, or even climb to the top of professional football?

This is undoubtedly the dream of all Ajax second team players, not everyone can achieve it, but now, they have a chance, because playing against the Dutch professional team, this is undoubtedly the best platform!

"It's going to make us known to all of Europe!" Van der Vaart was a little surprised, his voice trembling, but he was laughing and excited.

There is a frenzy in the eyes of many of the players because they are a group of ambitious and ambitious young people who are eager to continue on the path of football, and this belief has sustained them all the way up from the Ajax youth team to the current second team.

For them, the opportunity is in front of them, as long as they take another step forward, they have a chance to succeed!

"Is this possible?" But there is certainly a lack of confidence.

Abidal smiled coldly, disdainfully, "What's impossible, even Eindhoven can kill it, can't it kill other teams?" ”

At the mention of Eindhoven, the blood of this group of young people boiled.

"Yes, we took out PSV Eindhoven's team, is there any stronger team in the Netherlands than PSV Eindhoven?" Sneijder was just as scrappy and alive as a belligerent rooster.

Although beating PSV Eindhoven does not mean that they can beat other teams, in the hearts of this group of young people, being able to beat PSV Eindhoven has given them unprecedented confidence and courage, making them more motivated than ever to meet the challenges of every next game.

Sometimes, a game is decided not only by 3 points or the right to advance, but more!
