Chapter 87 Water Discharge

Football is a game of eleven people, and the most important thing is not technique and tactics, but how to make these eleven people work together.

Unifying the game ideas and strategies of all players is the most important preparation before the game.

But the trouble with double games in one week is that there is simply not enough time for participating teams to prepare.

There are often only three or four days between the two games. After an intense professional game, it is often necessary to rest for two days, then carry out a day of personal training and preparation, and then usher in the next game. There is simply not enough time to play. Targeted training.

It is precisely because of this that the tactical meeting is particularly important.

The head coach takes this opportunity to not only analyze the opponent in depth, analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent, and predict the possible game trend, but also communicate his own ideas and strategies for this game to the players, so that the players can get better and better. They can be on the pitch and know exactly what to do, no matter what the situation is.

But this is only in an ideal state. When it comes to the game, after being restrained and defended by the opponent, players have different understandings and choices for different situations, which often lead to inconsistent thinking of the team on the court. This can only be done Relying on constant running-in, they have established enough tacit understanding with each other.

Yang Yang only joined Ajax this summer. The second team coach Van Basten used him relatively simply, that is, as a striker on the right, but he was still very unfamiliar with the techniques and tactics of the first team.

In particular, he felt very unfamiliar with a series of routines such as player movements and team cooperation mentioned by Ronald Koeman, so he could only remember them and observe them slowly through games and training.

Fortunately, he is currently just a substitute.

But he still clearly felt his lack of tactical literacy. Many of the things that Ronald Koeman mentioned, the players in the first team knew everything, but Yang Yang was confused.

It seems necessary to strengthen my knowledge in this area.

At the meeting, Ronald Koeman also specially reminded Wesley Sonk that Van der Heiden's right foot is not weak. This is a detail that the scouting department had ignored in the preparations for the two previous games. But Yang Yang reminded Luther Carroll privately before the game, and the latter told the head coach immediately after confirming it.

After reminding Songk, Ronald Koeman nodded towards Yang Yang. Although he didn't call him by name, he clearly recognized Yang Yang's discovery, as if to say, I have seen all your efforts.

After the tactics class, the coaching staff arranged for everyone to go to the gym for simple strength training.

Lunch is still the same time, after eating, everyone goes back to their rooms to rest.

Yang Yang naturally "slept" soundly again, and after two hours of practice in the super training ground, he was awakened by Sneijder.

The most important work in the afternoon is the game preparation.

Everyone needs to prepare their game items carefully, from jerseys, socks, boots, to some personal items, etc., they need to be carefully prepared.

Yang Yang also received his own jersey at this time, number 99.

Since he was just transferred to the first team during the season, he does not have his own exclusive jersey number, so he can only use a large number temporarily. Know the number of the bench in the bench.

Yang Yang's favorite is the No. 9 jersey of the idols Ronaldo and Van Basten, but this jersey is now worn on Ibrahimovic. Even if Yang Yang kills the Swedish center, he will not be able to line up on him.

Taking second place, Yang Yang's No. 21 jersey in the second team is currently on the body of backup goalkeeper Stekelenburg.

Ajax's three goalkeepers are No. 1, No. 21 and No. 31.

Demur's temporary number in the first team was 37, Babel was 39, and Yang Yang also struggled with the number. Later, he simply came for a big one and chose 99.

This is a temporary idea, mainly because Vermaelen is thirty-three, and ninety-nine is exactly three times his size. When I go back, I will take this opportunity to make fun of him. The other ninety-nine is exactly two nines, representing Ronaldo and Van Basten these two idols.

So just like that, Ajax's biggest jersey number was born in Yang Yang's hands.

For football boots, socks and shin pads, Yang Yang uses the training equipment provided by Ajax club directly. These are provided by the sponsor Adidas, the first team and the youth echelon are the same.

The big difference is that the first team also provides a Fiat sedan for some regular main players and important players, which is also provided by sponsors for free, but Yang Yang has not yet reached this level.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Maxwell both have one, but the Swedish center is basically thrown at the club, only driving his Porsche 911, dutifully maintaining his masculine image.

While sorting out the equipment and preparing for the game, Yang Yang gradually felt the change in the atmosphere among his teammates.

The war is imminent, and everyone is a big enemy.

Even Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the most outgoing person on weekdays, has now become reticent.

A game, tens of millions of euros, who dares to be careless?

In the evening, fans walked into the Jan Bredel Stadium in the western suburbs of Bruges one after another.

The stadium, which has a capacity of only 29,000 people, was quickly filled with people pouring in.

Ajax, who are playing away from home, wants to get three points away to ensure the right to qualify for the group. Why don't Brugge, who are playing at home, want to beat their opponents and fight for the less hopeful promotion right, or the third place in the group. UEFA Cup knockout qualification?

Fanatical fans soon took over the stands on all sides of the stadium.

Like the head coach of Ajax, the Norwegian head coach Trend Soleder of Bruges is also a professional player. He has coached Bruges for two thousand years, and his results have been good. Last season, he helped the club to win. After a five-year absence from the league title, he is ambitious to perform in Europe this season.

This ambition also naturally unleashed into the frenzy of the Belgian fans in the stands.

This is the first time Yang Yang has appeared in such a stadium with tens of thousands of people. While he is excited, he is also somewhat apprehensive.

He stood on the pitch and looked around. There were people everywhere in the stands, all cheering for Bruges. They seemed to want to devour themselves on the pitch with their shouts, which made him give birth to a Share awe.

But awe is not fear.

Yang Yang quickly took a deep breath, swept away the extra thoughts in his mind, and quickly ran to the half-court of his team's training.

"How do you feel?" Ibrahimovic asked with a smile.

Don't look at his usual carelessness, but he also has his own careful side at critical moments.

Yang Yang grinned and smiled, "It's complicated."

"It's normal, the first game is like this, but when you get used to it, you will like it."

"How do you feel?"

"That's in the stadium where all the people are watching, breaking their goal and making them all shut up." Ibrahimovic not only said, but also waved his hands with his teeth and claws, as if he had scored a goal. .

Yang Yang must be unable to understand the thoughts of this windy man, but he believes that everyone will have their own way to resolve this emotion and pressure, perhaps this is Ibrahimovic's way.

"Don't be under pressure, buddy, isn't there me in front of you? I'm here, no matter what ball you pass, tall or short, near or far, I can catch it all, don't worry!" The Swedish center laughed. road.

He also said this to Yang Yang once during the Genius Day event. At that time, Yang Yang didn't believe it, but the Swedish center really did it. Now, it is obviously to help Yang Yang decompress.

As it is the last round of the group stage, Ajax away to Brugge, AC Milan vs. Celta Vigo, these two games are carried out at the same time.

When Ronald Koeman sent out his starting lineup, the coach Ancelotti, who was far away in Milan, Italy, also made the starting lineup and was soon sent to the Ajax coach.

As soon as Koeman saw AC Milan's starting lineup, he was angry and scolded Ancelotti angrily.

As early as before the game, Ancelotti said in an interview with the media that although he was going to Japan to play the Toyota Cup on the weekend, AC Milan would still go all out so that Ajax would not have to worry about the Rossoneri releasing water.

The words are still in my ears, but now Ancelotti has drawn up a lineup that can almost be said to be a full substitute.

Goalkeeper Abbiati is the substitute, and the back line Kaladze, Laursen, Costacurta and Simic are all substitutes. Veteran Costacurta has just returned from injury. In addition to Seedorf in the midfield, Redon is the main force. More than a few years have been injured, this game turned out to be on, the other is Broch.

Kaka and Sergio serve as the double attacking midfielder, and the single forward is Borriello.

Looking at the starting eleven, except for Kaka and Seedorf, none of them are main players. How can Ronald Koeman not hate it?

But he really had no choice. AC Milan had already qualified for the top spot in the group ahead of schedule. They had nothing to do with this game. Instead, it was the Toyota Cup on the weekend.

"What's the matter, what are these things?" Ronald Koeman snarled angrily.

In this game, he still had a four-three-three formation. The goalkeeper was Robont, and the back line was Maxwell, Escud, Heitinga and Trabelsi from left to right, and the midfield was behind. It is De Jong, Van der Vaart and Sneijder are in the center, Mitya on the left, Ibrahimovic in the middle, and Wesley Sonk on the right.

Eleven players can be said to be the most competitive players in Ajax at present, and they are also the best attacking lineup that Ronald Koeman can currently arrange, especially the comeback of Trabelsi on the right, which greatly relieves Ajax's attack and defense crisis on the right.

The only suspense now is what will happen to Trabelsey.

There is no suspense that Bruges will definitely adopt defensive counterattack tactics, so the biggest test for Ajax in this game is attacking.

As long as the offense can break through Bruges' defense, most of the game will be won.
