Chapter 1540 Indiscriminate Bombing
On the afternoon of September 23rd, Philippe Stadium in Eindhoven, the Netherlands.
Eindhoven manager Marc van Bommel stood on the sidelines with concern as he watched the game about to start on the pitch.
Upcoming is the focus of the sixth round of the Eredivisie, Eindhoven vs. Ajax at home.
So far this season, both teams have won five consecutive victories. Eindhoven is at the top of the standings with a goal difference advantage, followed by Ajax with the same points.
Although the league has just started, everyone knows that Ajax and Eindhoven are the only two contenders for the Eredivisie championship this season, and the number one favorite is Ajax led by Yang Yang.
Playing at home, facing the number one opponent to win the championship, Van Bommel has no way to retreat.
...
Unlike three days ago when he was a guest at the Nou Camp Stadium, he put on a safe formation of 4231. Tonight at home, Van Bommel formed an offensive lineup of 433. Max had a blast.
Ajax also formed a four-three-three lineup tonight, but unlike Eindhoven who insisted on playing with the main lineup, Yang Yang once again rotated the team lineup, which surprised Van Bommel.
The goalkeeper is still Onana, the defense is Jorge, Militao, De Ligt and Dumfries, the midfielder is Schone and Rosario, Van der Beek is forward, and the front trident is Mullen, Jovic and Erdegaard.
The goalkeeper, centre-back and centre-forward all remain the same, but the rest of the positions have been rotated with great intensity.
Van Bommel was deeply puzzled by this, because in his impression, Ajax was not so strong.
Why is Yang Yang so supportive and makes such a vigorous rotation at the Phillips Stadium?
Did he not take Eindhoven seriously at all?
Thinking of this, Van Bommel couldn't help feeling angry.
In the Battle of the Nou Camp, Eindhoven suffered a 0-4 away game against Barcelona. It was a complete defeat, but Ajax reversed Bayern Munich 3-1 away, which surprised the whole world.
Over the past few days, almost all the media around the world have been scrambling to report on Yang Yang and his Ajax.
Also from a professional player background, Van Bommel does not feel that Eindhoven under his coach is not as good as Ajax, because he knows this team too well, after all, he himself was born in the Eredivisie.
Van Bommel also has his own selfishness, that is, he wants to prove himself with a victory.
Last season, PSV Eindhoven beat Ajax under the leadership of club star Cocu and won the Eredivisie championship. Then Cocu left for various reasons, and Van Bommel took over Eindhoven's management. handsome.
He wants to prove himself with a hearty victory against his mortal enemy, at least to win a more relaxed coaching environment for himself, so that everyone believes that he can do it, even better than Cocu.
It is also the first season of his coaching career. The 41-year-old Van Bommel does not think that the 31-year-old Yang Yang will be better than him, because he has been preparing for this day since he retired and waited for five years. Year.
He believed that five years of preparation was enough for him to be qualified for this position, enough for him to defeat Yang Yang.

The referee whistled and Ajax took the lead.
As soon as the pass was passed back to the backcourt, Schone quickly made a cross pass and sent the ball to the right side of the court.
Erdegaard crossed the center line, stopped the ball, avoided PSV's defenders, sent a long diagonal pass with his left foot, and sent the ball to the center of PSV's penalty area.
This is an empty area, and the defensive players were pulled away by Jovic and two wingers. Only Van der Beek, who was sprinting forward at high speed, grabbed the ball, stopped, and shot angrily from the outside of the penalty area. long shot.
Goalkeeper Zouter raised his hands high, the ball was a little high and a bit deflected, failing to create a threat.
At this time, the game has only started ten seconds.
...
"Ajax played very fast after the start."
"The performance of the players is also very positive, look at this goal kick by PSV."
"The ball still fell to Ajax's feet, and they planned to attack again."
...
"Ajax's attack hit the frontcourt and the ball was intercepted by PSV Eindhoven centre-back Wilheffer."
"Wilhofer has been playing for Ajax before and moved to PSV this summer. At that time, he said that he was eager to win the championship in PSV, and now he wants to help PSV. Beat old club Ajax."
"Eindhoven's counterattack went up the pitch and the Mexican winger Lozano got the ball."
"De Ligt one-two, see how he defends."
"PSV quickly played two-on-one up front and Lozano gave the ball to Luke de Jong in the middle."
"Have the opportunity……"
"Millitang is chasing back very fast!!!"
"My goodness, he beat Luke de Jong and poked the ball into goalkeeper Onana."
"Millitang's speed is too fast!"
"The Brazilian centre-back didn't give Luke de Jong the slightest chance to kick the ball back to the goalkeeper."
...
"Another long pass from the backcourt from Ajax, sent directly to the frontcourt."
"Jovic took the lead, headed the ball down, stopped the ball, and passed it to the middle to find Van der Beek."
"No chance, cleared by PSV."
"The ball was still on the left side of the penalty area and Jovic blocked the position with his body."
"His body is really strong and strong! Verhefer couldn't shake his position at all. The ball was stopped, and he turned around again and kicked the goal..."
"The ball went a little wide and slid past the goal."
"This shot was a little bit anxious."
...
"An attack from Ajax again, a quick counter-attack."
"Schone takes the ball, and a long shot from the outside!"
"Taller!"
"This time the attack was too anxious."
"Yang Yang was a little excited on the sidelines, and shouted at the players on the field, signaling them to hold their ground and don't worry."
"Since the opening period, Ajax have completely suppressed PSV."
"Van Bommel is also a little anxious, because he is also worried about whether his team can stop Ajax's attack?"
...
"Look at this time, Mullen has the ball on the left."
"No chance, bring it back, pass it back to Jorge."
"Ruore stopped the ball, observed it, and moved to the right side of the center."
"There is no one defending this area, Rosario followed up and hit the goal directly!"
"Zouter made a save and there was chaos in the PSV penalty area."
"Jovic and Van der Beek are both in the penalty area, taking turns kicking..."
"Danger………"
"Schwab made an early clearance and kicked the ball out of bounds, Ajax's throw-in."
"Rosario's kick was sudden and powerful."
"This 21-year-old midfielder comes from the Ajax youth academy and made his debut in Almere. It is worth mentioning that Yang Yang also made his debut in Almere."
...
"Odegaard took the ball from the right and crossed it diagonally into the penalty area."
"Jovic held Verhofer with his body, stopped the ball and passed it again..."
"Van der Beek followed up and hit the goal directly!"
"Zouter instinctively lifted the ball over the bar, corner."
"Ajax's offensive after the opening was very fierce, and Eindhoven could only defend passively."
...
"Van de Beek got the ball at the front of the penalty area, facing the goal, no chance, passed to the left."
"Mullen got the ball on the left, cut inside and tried to kick it, but it was blocked and there was no chance."
"Then pass to the space on the right side of the top of the arc..."
"It was Rosario who stepped in again..."
"Kick the door straight away!!!"
"The ball went in!!!!!!"
"Ajax beat PSV!"
"One to zero!"
"In the 18th minute of the game, a long-range shot from the teenager Rosario, a very wonderful heavy shot, broke through the goal of Eindhoven and gave Ajax the lead!"
…………
…………
Yang Yang applauded excitedly on the sidelines when he saw Rosario break through PSV's goal with a long shot.
After a round of violent attacks after the opening, Ajax completely suppressed Eindhoven, creating threats one after another.
Scoring goals is something in Yang Yang's plan.
Even, to some extent, it came later than Yang Yang's plan.
As early as just now, Rosario had already had a wonderful long shot, which caused the goalkeeper Zouter to drop.
"He is 1.88 meters tall and of African descent. He looks like a black and strong animal waist, but in fact, his passing ability is very strong, which is a typical characteristic of Ajax youth players." Harvey Alonso shook his head and smiled wryly.
Many people are easily confused by Rosario's appearance. As everyone knows, his defensive ability is indeed very good, but what is even more outstanding is his passing and basic skills.
The average pass success rate is over 87% per game, and the frontcourt pass success rate is as high as 80%. How can such a player be a reckless man?
Especially with such a sudden long shot from behind.
Rosario is indeed not as good as Ndombele, but he has his own characteristics and strengths.
Just like in this game, Yang Yang also used a high position to press and press, so that Eindhoven could not get the ball out and was forced to make a long pass.
Rosario in the midfield, Dumfries on the right, De Ligt and Militao in the center...
The existence of these four players makes it difficult for Eindhoven to take advantage of long passes.
Luke De Jong, who is 1.88 meters tall, does not have much advantage in front of them.
This made Ajax's tactics since the opening very effective. Eindhoven was forced to shrink the defense, which undoubtedly further boosted Ajax's momentum.
In the tough battle, Jovic's role in the penalty area, Van der Beek's back penetration, Schone and Rosario's long shots undoubtedly played a role.
To some extent, Ajax is eager for Eindhoven to hide in their own half, so Ajax's indiscriminate bombing will make Eindhoven's gate jittery.
This is also the effect Yang Yang wanted.
In his opinion, the overall strength of Ajax today is already higher than that of Eindhoven, and even after a substantial rotation, they have the strength to kill their opponents.
