Volume 1 Chapter 28 Red Card
Ye Qiu really has no experience, but that doesn't mean he won't watch it!
According to official statistics, wide players are always at the top of a team's 11 players.
In the current PSV Eindhoven team, Kolka and Romedale are not very active in dropping back defensively, but despite this, they have a lot of distance compared to the forwards and centre-backs, but slightly less than Van Bommel and Voger.
However, for full-backs, the physical exertion is very high.
PSV Eindhoven dominated the field, and in order to strengthen the attack, the full-backs had to run back and forth, which made them run a lot of distance, especially when Gretz decided to return to the wing in the second half and boldly pushed the team's overall formation forward to further strengthen the attack, and the full-backs ran back and forth more frequently.
To some extent, this can strengthen the offensive investment, but there is no hidden danger, and that is Heinterzer.
At the age of 37, although Heintze's condition and physical fitness are excellent, his age is not discounted, especially the double-front battles in the past few days, which make Heintze feel a little unbearable, and his breathing is becoming more and more coarse.
Years of professional experience tell him that his fitness is almost there, does the manager see it?
Ye Qiu saw it, but it wasn't time yet!
Now Eindhoven's offensive is very fierce, it can be said that it has been released, Ye Qiu saw that the situation was precarious, so he had no choice but to replace the main striker Huntelaar, and replaced a midfielder with good defensive ability, forming a back three, putting Sneijder a little forward, and letting Van der Vaart and Kurul form a double striker in front.
From this point, it can be seen that the disadvantage of the second team of Ajax is already very obvious, and it has even reached the point where it is almost unbearable, otherwise, Ye Qiu would not have made a substitution first.
Gretz still had three substitutions in his hand and he was waiting for his chance.
The Ajax fans on the sidelines shouted loudly and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic.
In the second half, 15 minutes were played, Ajax defended 15 minutes, was beaten for 15 minutes, and almost scored several times, but it was this point that made the players of the second team of Ajax stubbornly resist.
The human psyche is very strange.
When you are in a fast-paced atmosphere for a long time, you will feel that you can't keep up at first, but gradually, you will adapt to this rhythm, and you will not feel fast, but will be very comfortable in this rhythm.
The same is true in football, when you attack hard but never get past the opponent's goal, the defender will gradually adapt to the rhythm and intensity of your attack, and gradually cope with it freely, and will not feel how sharp your attack is.
Therefore, for the defending side, the attack that feels the most headache is not the kind of attack that blindly attacks to the end, but the kind of attack that is fast and slow, very sudden, and catches you off guard.
If you take a closer look at the game of football, it is not difficult to see that almost all of the goals are scored in this suddenness.
Ye Qiu is waiting, he is waiting for Eindhoven to slow down when he will slow down!
PSV Eindhoven's players were not very fit, and after 15 minutes in the second half, it was about the same, and in order to ensure the continuity of the attack, Gretz did not make substitutions, at this time he should slow down the tempo, let the players relax their nerves, start to recover, and brew the next wave of attacks.
Human psychology is inert, imagine a person who is running so wild that his physical strength is about to be unbearable, suddenly stop to rest, what will happen? Will the psyche relax and let down its vigilance?
So what if at this time, all of a sudden, the opponent presses out to fight?
There is a saying that holds up the bold and starves the faint-hearted.
Ye Qiu has always felt that his courage is indeed not small, especially after the crossing, his psychology has changed a lot.
In his previous life, his chaotic life didn't look like a person who did big things, but after crossing over, he found that people were nothing, birth, old age, sickness and death, what was there? Perhaps, after death, it will be another time-travel, right?
If that's the case, then what's not to try?
So, when he saw PSV Eindhoven's offensive starting to relax a bit, and Van Bommel and Worger starting to try to slow down the tempo, he knew they were starting to slow down.
A gesture towards Sneijder, Ye Qiu believed that this smart stinky boy could understand the meaning.
In the 63rd minute, PSV Eindhoven's wave of attacks slowly advanced to the belly of the Ajax second team, but just as Romerdal was about to pass the ball to the middle, Abidal hit him with his body and broke the ball directly.
This made Romedahl angry, but Abidal immediately passed the ball to the middle.
De Jong turned sideways, facing the incoming ball, as he did in training on weekdays, and kicked the ball directly to Sneijder in front.
Sneijder faced the incoming ball and curled a curling ball that got behind Van der Weyden.
I saw Van der Vaart suddenly pass through the middle of Van der Weyden and Fabel, the speed was very fast, and after getting the ball before everyone, there was a sudden stop, so that the chasing Van der Vayden was unexpected, and he couldn't brake, and passed.
Van der Vaart curled a curling ball with his left foot near the right post in the box.
Kurul, the African player's fitness is good, even now, he is still able to maintain a strong explosive force, after passing Heintze and Nikiforov, like a black lightning bolt, straight to the right post of Eindhoven.
Ajax's second team's counterattack is just one word, fast!
It was all about happening in the blink of an eye, and when the fans on the pitch let out a cheer full of surprise, it was seen that Kurul had rushed into the penalty area, had leaped high and was ready to hammer Van der Vaart's cross into the Eindhoven goal.
But at this moment, goalkeeper Watrus abandoned the goal, jumped high, grabbed the ball before Kurul, and picked the ball.
Cough!!!
Everyone sighed, what a chance!
Ye Qiu also shook his head vigorously, Van der Vaart's cross was too close to the goal, and the distance was too far, and the speed was too slow, not to mention Watrus, even other goalkeepers could easily take it off.
In the final analysis, the experience of the players in the second team is not as good as the opponent's, their strength is not as good as the opponent's, and their use of skills is not as good as the opponent's.
With so many disadvantages, it's hard to ask players to do better.
"Okay, don't be sorry, retreat!" Ye Qiu waved his hand at Van der Vaart.
By the time Watellus took the goal, Ajax's defence had been re-aligned!
…………
…………
There are many aspects to a football game, and at the team level, it can be summed up in one sentence, and that is, never make your opponent comfortable!
When PSV Eindhoven wants to be slow, Ajax has to be fast, and when PSV Eindhoven wants to be fast, Ajax has to do everything they can to slow down the tempo, they want to play on the wings, Ajax has to squeeze them into the middle.
This is what Ye Qiu learned from Beckenbauer's masterpiece.
Therefore, now that Eindhoven wants to be slow, Ye Qiu asked the players to strengthen their pressing and pressing, in this way to make the passing speed of the Eindhoven players faster, after all, the ball can't stay at the feet, so they can only keep passing and running, and the rhythm will naturally be fast.
Time is in Ajax II's favor because they can afford to lose!
The whole world felt that PSV Eindhoven would win, which was a psychological advantage before the game, but when the attack was not won for a long time, it would turn into psychological pressure on the players, which in turn would create a favorable situation for the Ajax second team.
Therefore, Ye Qiu put on a stubborn posture, counterattacked from time to time, teased the nerves of the Eindhoven players, made them feel uncomfortable, and then strengthened the attack, while Ye Qiu's second team continued to defend to the death.
It doesn't matter if it's 0:0 at the end, it's a big deal to go into extra time, it's a big deal to be a penalty shootout, who is afraid of whom?
But can PSV Eindhoven really accept extra-time and penalty shootouts?
Obviously, it can't be!
In the 67th minute, Gretz replaced Heinterze with Brudging, which was a clear signal to further strengthen the attack, and the back line was transformed into a back three.
The three Dutch ace strikers all entered the Ajax II penalty area, and the shock was truly terrifying.
If it was before the game, Gretz suddenly put on a three-striker, maybe this pressure would make the defenders of the second team of Ajax unbearable one by one, but after more than an hour of real fighting, they can even block Vanney and Nelis, will they mind an extra Brooking?
Ye Qiu still stretched the three lines very tightly, and tightly arranged the 30-meter area to defend his side, as long as Eindhoven's ball entered this area, Ajax launched a crazy pressing and pressing, not allowing the opponent to pass and receive the ball easily.
As for how you want to pass 30 meters away, that's your family's business, anyway, I don't rely on ball possession to eat!
Ye Qiu has to admire, Rehhagel's defensive system construction emphasizes integrity and teamwork, which is also an important reason why he has been able to repeatedly lead those unknown teams and create miraculous results.
For example, in Kaiserslautern's promotion to the miracle of winning the championship, in the face of Dortmund and Bayern Munich, which were in full swing at the time, Rehhagel's team was not far behind, relying on the strength of the players, but on the whole and defense.
The same can be said of Euro 2004, when Greece won the tournament thanks to a well-organized defensive system.
Ye Qiu didn't dare to guarantee that he had mastered the essence, but he did get a lot out of it, plus he had mastered more than ten years of football knowledge than the current football people, which made him use Rehhagel's set to lead the Ajax second team to withstand the attack of PSV Eindhoven.
To put it bluntly, on the football field, you are a star if you can be one-on-one, you are a top star, if you can be one-on-three, and you can ensure that the ball is not lost, then congratulations, you have become a god!
So Rehhagel's overall defense is just about keeping the three lines tight and trying to create a defensive mechanism where I can have at least two players involved in any situation and create a numerical advantage.
Of course, this does not mean that this mechanism is perfect and undefeated, because the key is still to see the strength of implementation.
After a month's practice and cooperation, Ye Qiu feels that the players of the Ajax second team have done a good job at this point, which also has a lot to do with the Ajax youth training's emphasis on discipline and teamwork.
…………
…………
Ajax II's home stadium is so simple that Frank, as the general manager of the visiting team, can make the home stadium of Ajax II. Arneson didn't have a place to sit.
There is no strictly regulated home field, and naturally there are not so many restrictions, so Arneson stood directly not far from Gretz's coach's bench and watched the game, but the more he watched, the more gloomy his face became.
Before the game, he was extremely confident that PSV Eindhoven would win this game, even in the first half, he felt that it was just an accident, as long as PSV played normally, it was ironclad to win the opponent.
But in the second half, only now, he began to realize that the opponent just didn't let you play normally.
Sadly, Gretz still doesn't seem to have an effective way to break down the opponent's almost iron bucket defense.
Lose?
In the past six months, this word has little to do with PSV Eindhoven, that is, in the European arena, losing to Valencia and Bayern Munich, but on the land of the Netherlands, PSV Eindhoven has maintained a complete victory and is invincible.
Therefore, Arneson never thought that he would lose, and even if he did, it was impossible to lose to a second team, especially four days ago, Eindhoven had just slaughtered Ajax's second team 4:0, which was absolutely an unacceptable shame!
Thinking of this, Arneson looked at Gretz, who also looked over, but saw Arneson with a fierce look on his face, gesturing in his hand, as if to say, you quickly think of a way to kill them!
The longer the time drags on, the more pressure will be on Gretz and the players, because they can't accept the fact that they lost to a second team, even a draw!
What to do?
Gretz was wondering, but his strongest squad was already on the pitch, and with all three of the three scorers who had scored more than 30 goals this season combined, what else could he do?
"Come on, Ajax! Come on, second team! ”
"Come on! Ajax II! ”
"Well done, warriors!"
The cheers of the fans on the sidelines sounded so harsh to Gretz, especially when the clock skipped 75 minutes, and he began to realize that the team's fitness was rapidly declining.
The national team clubs have fought one after another, the European arena, the Eredivisie and the Dutch Cup, and this group of players in Eindhoven will definitely not be able to compare with the well-adjusted Ajax second team physically, and Gretz also regretted it at this time, he was so big about what he did before the game, and he chose to go straight to Amsterdam from Eindhoven before the game.
If they had come to Amsterdam earlier in the morning and had a good rest and adjustment, it would have been very helpful for the players' fitness, but now, there are many players who are obviously unable to run on the pitch, just like Heinter just now.
"Perhaps, we should consider not going on the offensive anymore!"
The thought first crossed Gretz's mind, as he felt that it would be dangerous to continue to run like this when the likes of Kolka, Romerdal, Van der Weyden and Vogel were starting to run a little bit, especially when Ajax II almost broke the PSV Eindhoven goal on both counter-attacks.
Ajax's counterattacks have always been a small and profitable deal, and the number of troops invested is not much, but it is very fatal.
But as soon as this thought came to mind, Gretz immediately pressed it, because he saw Arneson's gloomy expression that almost wanted to tear him apart, and if he chose to weaken the attack at this time, then it must be Arneson's artillery fire that awaited him.
Perhaps, he will not be dismissed for this, but he will definitely offend this Eindhoven real power because of this.
What to do?
Gretz was also hesitating.
But at this time, there was a conflict on the court.
Abidal was defending his old nemesis Romerdal when he was tackled to the ground by Abidal.
At halftime, Gretz told him that Abidal was a powder keg that exploded at one point, and he had already received 4 red cards in a row before, so he teased him a little and took him off the field.
In a previous scramble, Romedahl just hugged him from behind, and he pushed him back, leaving him with a yellow card, and now he was shoveled to the ground, and Romedahl was so angry that he wanted to get him down.
Standing up, the corner of his eye swept over the referee, and finding that the referee's gaze was not on him, Romerdal turned his head and spat at Abidal, and actually spat on him directly.
But what is going on is that Romedal thought he was very smart, but he didn't expect that the referee turned around at this time and directly watched Romedal's spitting on Abidal.
This kid has long been on the referee's blacklist, and the referee has been making small moves throughout the game, and the referee also remembers him, so he immediately rushed up at this time and blocked the murderous Abidal.
At this time, Kifu was also nearby, and hugged Abidal for the first time, and kept shouting to calm down.
The referee also turned around for the first time and issued a red card to Romedale, directly sending off the guy who spat on the opponent's player.
All the Ajax fans in the stadium immediately cheered, and then insulted Romerdal vigorously, thinking that this player dared to make trouble on Ajax's turf, it was simply looking for death, and his saliva was going to drown him.
"Calm down, don't fall for him!" Ye Qiu also ignored the linesman's obstruction, and ran to the sidelines to shout.
Kifu hugged Abidal, "The boss is right, he got a red card, we have one more person!" ”
Abidal looked angrily at Romerdal who was gray and went off the field amid the humiliation of the Ajax fans, and then looked at Ye Qiu and his teammate Kifu, and finally calmed down and reached out to wipe the saliva off his body.
"I'm going to kill them!" Abidal said through gritted teeth.
