The Camp Nou, the temple of Barcelona, is the most feared bastion in the hearts of fans even in the team's most disastrous moments, especially in the Champions League, where the Camp Nou has never been attacked this season.

This also gave Barcelona fans enough confidence and confidence to make them feel that no matter how good Ajax is, when they arrive at Camp Nou, they have to put their tails between them and be low-key.

The start of the game seemed to confirm the suspicions of Barcelona fans, and the home team started well as Ajax took a more risky high defence and wanted to entangle more of Barcelona in midfield, but in the league, Barcelona have already suffered from Valencia's high defense and suffered defeat at Camp Nou, and Antich has learned from this experience.

This time Barcelona's tactics were Bonano with 44 goalkeepers, Gabri, Reziger, De Boer and Puyol at the back, Overmars, Seydou Keita, Xavi and Mendieta in midfield, and Kluivert and Saviola in the midfield.

Ajax's starting lineup was adjusted from the original 433 to a 3L tactic.

Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, Abidal, Kivo, Lucio and McCone at the back, Yaya Toure and Mascherano at the back, Arteta, Sneijder and Van der Vaart up front, and Ibrahimovic as the lone striker.

Arteta played on the left flank and was not slow, but he, along with Sneijder and Van der Vaart, were the kind of players who were more organised, and it was indeed surprising to have these three players behind Ibrahimovic at the same time, and the only one with more attacking ability in the front field was Van der Vaart.

Of course, to some extent, Ajax is still 43, but Sneijder is a little more forward, replacing Robben with Arteta, so the overall tactics have not changed much.

At the beginning of the game, Ajax still pressed the defense forward, and it seemed that they were still sticking to the high-level defensive strategy pursued by their side in the past three years, and Barcelona's start was not conservative at all.

This surprised many people, because they felt that Ajax, who was playing away, should adopt a more prudent strategy, but they didn't expect Ye Qiu to be so aggressive, could he really be so confident in his attack?

When Ibrahimovic stood in front of De Boer and Reziger, everyone knew where Ye Qiu's confidence came from.

But it was Barcelona who scored first.

Cluivetra went to the left and combined with Ovimas's one-two to successfully break through McConn's defence, and then Kluivert's pass helped Saviola rush past the defense of Lucio and Kivo, and the Argentine youngster scored with a low shot at the first time, and took the lead in the Ajax goal after only nine minutes of the game

But Ajax was also unceremonious, courtesy, in the 16th minute, Frank de Boer in the face of Ibrahimovic, simply could not stop the Swedish strong center forward, Ibrahimovic forced in the middle of De Boer and Reziger to kill a bloody way, after a strong volley was saved by Bonano, Van der Vaart inserted a missed shot,

After the equaliser, Barcelona at home looked even more anxious, they could not rest assured that Ajax would defend and press in their own half, so they began to attack Ajax's defense fiercely.

But Ajax's strategy in this game is a bit strange, with Arteta, Sneijder and Van der Vaart in front, Yaya Toure in the back, and four points in the midfield, plus Ajax pressed the defense forward and increased the density of the midfield by compressing three lines.

As the intensity increases, Barcelona's individual technical advantage is weakened, and Ajax does not seem to be very eager to score, but more eager to compete with Barcelona for the ball and possession.

"In the past, Ajax has always given people a team that does not insist on fighting for possession time, Ye Qiu even once said that effective possession is the pursuit of Ajax, but in this game, Ajax seems to be obsessed with the pursuit of possession, a lot of midfielders are down, Arteta and Van der Vaart have a lot of possession opportunities on the wings."

This is indeed a very puzzling scene, because Ajax from the Netherlands actually controlled the ball in front of Barcelona in La Liga? Isn't this Guan Gong playing a big knife in front of him, and the class has an axe?

But Ye Qiu doesn't seem to care at all, but is frequently adjusting, trying to maintain the team's possession time in the state of maintaining forward pressure, and Barcelona seems to know very well that their weakness is in the backline.

It should be said that in front of Ibrahimovic, a tall player, any player in Barcelona is far less tall than Ibrahimovic, especially Barcelona's entire backline, is there more than l.8 meters?

The tallest is Frank De Boer, just 79 meters, Gabri is 74 meters, Rezig is 78 meters, Puyol is also only 78 meters, the tallest of these Frank De Boer stands in front of Ibrahimovic, barely able to get Ibrahimovic's shoulders, because the Swede is a full 95 meters tall.

Throwing an Ibrahimovic into the Barcelona defence and standing out from the crowd was very effective.

And everyone knows that staring Ibrahimovic is tantamount to restraining half of Ajax's attacking threat, because a large part of Ajax's attacking system revolves around Ibrahimovic's movement and strategy.

That being said, it may not be possible, but it's another story, at least not long after the goal, Ibrahimovic created Ajax's equaliser, which scared everyone at Barcelona.

Since he can't physically restrain Ibrahimovic, he can only cut off the pass to Ibrahimovic, and without the ball at his feet, the threat of the Swedish center forward is naturally greatly reduced, so Barcelona actively starts the game of grabbing the ball, while Ajax seems to have become a La Liga team, playing a game of ball control over there.

In fact, Antic is also well aware that it is difficult for his players to limit Ibrahimovic because they lack the minimum height and are also at a disadvantage in physical confrontation, which makes Barcelona appear passive.

However, in the end, it was the Eredivisie team, in terms of possession skills, Ajax couldn't catch up with Barcelona, there was a passing error in the 38th minute, Barcelona successfully counterattacked, Kluivert rushed through the Ajax defense, although it was quickly intercepted by the players who were chasing, but the ball fell at the feet of Seydou Keita.

The Mali midfielder was not polite to his old club at all, and directly picked up his left foot to shoot a long shot, and the ball went into the net.

After the score was exceeded again, Barcelona was very excited, and all the Barcelona fans at the Camp Nou were crazy, they all felt that as long as this game continued like this, the winner must be Barcelona.

But strangely, Ajax did not show impatience at all, but still methodically fought with Barcelona for possession, but this time they were somewhat conservative, strengthened their defense, and successfully dragged the score to half-time, which made Seydou Keita wonder.

He knows Ye Qiu very well, he has played under Ye Qiu for two years, he knows very well what kind of temper and character his former mentor is, Ye Qiu will never allow his team to control the ball so slowly, Ajax's advantage is attack, it is a fast and sharp attack, but how has it changed now?

But this is just Seydou Keita's own concerns, he is unfounded, and now in Barcelona, there are many problems, Antici may not believe it, maybe others will think that he is deliberately hitting the morale of the team after taking the lead, but after walking into the dressing room, seeing his teammates panting like cattle, Seydou Keita's worries are even worse.

You must know that after Antich took over the team, a very important part of the reason why he performed well was that the squad was stable and there was very little rotation, so he trusted the current group of people, Riquelme, Rosenbach and other players can only be substitutes, but in this way, physical fitness is a big problem.

"Well done, guys"

Unlike everyone guessed, Ajax, who was behind in the first half, should cry in the locker room, Ye Qiu smiled happily after walking into the locker room, because the result of the first half made him feel very satisfied, just one goal behind.

To be honest, with a high-school striker like Ibrahimovic, coupled with the overall tactical strength of Ajax, Ye Qiu is not afraid of Barcelona at all, and he knows very well that Barcelona can get to this point, and luck in the draw is very important.

The first round of the two rounds of the group stage Barcelona was not easy, the second round of the performance was excellent, relying on defense, and Barcelona did not encounter too strong teams from beginning to end, and then met Arsenal in the knockout round, the two legs were also very difficult, and targeted defense has also become a guarantee for Barcelona to advance.

Looking at this season's Champions League and La Liga, Barcelona almost no problem once they meet a high school striker, from Deportivo Mackay to Real Sociedad's Kovacevic, they have performed well and eye-catching when facing Barcelona.

Therefore, from the very beginning of Ye Qiu's game, the strategy he formulated was not to defend, nor to fight for possession, but to take a strategic attack on Barcelona, and the strategy he formulated for the team was to fight with Barcelona in the first half to consume physical energy.

From this point, it is not difficult to see that Ye Qiu arranged Yaya Toure to start, the Ivorian ran very actively in the midfield, covering a wide area, coupled with the team's high defense, compressing three lines, making Yaya Toure very destructive.

What does Ajax want to play possession?

Without possession, Barcelona are insecure, especially against Ajax's high defence.

So what about insecurity?

It's simple, grab it

Take possession back

It's easy to say, but Barcelona's two forwards are not actively involved in defense, Ovimas is also old-fashioned, and the defense is also not active, and the more defensive in the midfield are Seydou Keita, Xavi and Mendieta, among which Seydou Keita has the best physical fitness, but because of the inactivity of his teammates, they have to invest more in the game and consume more.

Consumption, this is the main purpose of Ye Qiu's first half, and attacking is Ye Qiu's tactics in the second half

"Arjan, are you ready?" Ye Qiu turned his head and looked at Robben.

Peter Pan stood up under the gaze of his teammates and nodded, "Ready, head." ”

Ye Qiu smiled at Robben, walked in front of Arteta again, and patted Arteta on the shoulder, "You did a great job in the first half, Mikel, but we need to attack in the second half." ”

As early as before the game, Ye Qiu had already told Mikel his arrangements through a private communication and consulted him, the Spaniard must have been a little unhappy, because he had long wanted to show his strength in front of his hometown fathers, but Ye Qiu promised to let him play the whole game in the second leg at the Arenal Stadium and start.

Arteta was very convinced of Ye Qiu, so he had no way to resist Ye Qiu's arrangement, so he could only nod and agree.

"Okay, everyone, prick up your ears and listen to me" After Ye Qiu calmed Arteta, he clapped his palms vigorously, gathering everyone's attention, "In the first half, we played too Sven, which is not good, because we have never been a group of Sven people, and we can't do that kind of thing that is too Sven."

Ye Qiu deliberately said this in a bit of hooliganism, which made the players laugh loudly.

"We are a pack of wolves, a group of vicious wolves who have never eaten meat in their lives, and now the meat is in front of us, and we can smell the smell of meat, so we are going to rob it, and whoever stands in front of us, we will tear him apart"

Ye Qiu's words made all the players' hearts burn, because they all knew that the head coach said that food is the trophy of the Champions League, as long as Barcelona is killed, they will have a chance to reach the final and have a chance to win the Champions League.

That's something that countless professional players never dared to imagine in their lifetimes, and even in their group, two or three years ago, would they dare to think about it? They don't even dare to play a dozen Champions League games, but now, they have to fight for the Champions League title, what an honor, what a pride

There is no need for mobilization, no need for passionate speeches, just tell them that the championship is within reach, and they are full of strength

"I still don't like you guys who are too sven to go on the court, use our strength, tear apart our opponents, let me see how much you want to win the championship, and let the opponents feel how strong your group of hungry wolves really are"

Robben's appearance attracted a lot of attention, and even Antich was a little puzzled, Ye Qiu actually made another substitution at halftime, and with Robben's play, Ajax naturally returned to the 433 tactics he was familiar with.

You must know that with the rise of Ajax's fame on the European stage in recent years, many people have given Ye Qiu a nickname, magician, thinking that he has the strength to turn stones into gold, and he is often able to make magical moves in the game to reverse his strength, and many times he makes bold substitutions at halftime to change the situation

Therefore, Antich's bold substitution of Ye Qiu's midfield, winning Arteta with stronger organizational ability and better ball control, and replacing Robben with stronger assault ability and better offensive ability, what kind of signal does this represent?

Soon, Antich realized that he didn't need to guess anymore, and Ajax's attack was very obvious.

At the start of the second half, Ajax had a chance when Yaya Toure cut off Xavi's feet and passed to Sneijder, who didn't wait for Seydoux Keita to get close and slotted the ball into the feet of Ibrahimovic, and the Swedish centre-forward blocked Frank De Boer with his body at the top of the penalty area, and turned and volleyed hard.

The shot was too square, and Bonano stepped into position to save the ball.

Ajax's attack didn't work, and Barcelona's counter-attack also ended on Kluivert, with Lucio's header heading back to Kluivert and giving it to Mascherano, the Argentine midfielder went to Abidal on the left and the Frenchman slotted the ball into Robben's feet.

Robben won the ball and quickly led forward along the left flank, Mendieta had been left behind him, in front of him, there was only one Puyol left, Xavi and Seydoux Keita were retreating, ready to actively protect the defence, but Robben was faster and met Puyol one-on-one at the first time.

Puyol is no longer the rookie he was in the UEFA Cup final two years ago, as he has gained a wealth of experience, and this time he is very focused on Robben, who is well aware of the Dutchman's deadliest weapon, the sudden change of gear

Robben's dribbling is very regular, anyone can clearly see as long as they look at it, his step distance is the same, and the step point of each step is also very close, anyone can easily judge where his next step is, when to cross, when to step, very regular.

Puyol was also familiar with Robben's cadence and stride distance for the first time, and kept adapting to Robben's dribbling rules in his mind, and when he felt that he had no way to avoid it, he could only choose to fight with Robben, he predicted Robben's next step, and then guessed where his ball would be, and then when Robben was about to make a move, he stuck the position in advance.

This is the knowledge of card slots, you can't guess the opponent's step point, and rash card slots will only make you become a stake for your opponent to bypass at will, and Puyol now has a very high level of confidence in his card position.

But just as he was in the position, Robben, who had been paying attention to him, also made a change, and just when he was about to step out of the road, Robben suddenly changed his cadence half a step in advance, from the original forward dribbling to a sudden smash and cut inward.

This change just made Puyol make a stuck-position move, which could not be adjusted for a moment, and he himself just followed this button, and suddenly burst out of his sprint speed after cutting inside, skimming Puyol.

The strength of the Spanish right-back is indeed very good, but in the face of Robben one-on-one, it is still a little powerless
