Chapter 194 Sorry, I Won!
Strictly speaking, Lippi is not satisfied with his lineup, but he has no choice.
As a head coach in Juventus, it is difficult for players to let you choose. You can only accept and say YES, but you can't refuse.
The central defender is a big weakness. Ferrara is old, Tudor has many injuries and is not stable enough. Montero is short, rough and does not know how to restrain himself. Thuram is the central defender that Lippi relies on most, but there is a lack of people on the right side, so he can only choose to play on the right side. Zambrotta went to the left.
This is the result of a compromise. Fortunately, these are a group of extremely experienced players with very good tactical execution. At least taking down the thorn Edgar Davis allowed Lippi to calm down this group of players and make it easier for him to control the locker room. But without Davis, Juventus' midfield has become a weakness.
But nothing in this world is perfect. If you want to get something, you will always lose something.
After two rounds of group matches, they finally made it to the quarterfinals and met Ajax. Lippi felt very lucky because although this team is strong and has a well-known attacking power in Europe, it is too young and too susceptible to various influences.
Football matches have never been just about strength and tactics. What is more important is people and people's hearts!
Just like Montero's black foot just now, he got a yellow card. Is it a loss?
That is just the fussing of ignorant women and children. From a higher level, this yellow card is not a loss, because it always leaves a shadow in Van der Vaart's heart. Every time he retreats to get the ball, he always feels cold on his back. He doesn't know when Montero will give him another black foot. He is always worried and afraid.
If he is an experienced player, he can rely on his own mental will to resolve this fear, but Van der Vaart is too young. Although he has rich experience, his spirit is not stable enough, his will is not firm enough, and he is easily affected by his own emotions and the situation of the game.
This has gone beyond the contest of strength and tactics, and it goes straight to the heart!
In Lippi's view, Juventus' biggest bargaining chip in defeating Ajax in this game is not defense, but experience.
He doesn't need to say much, this group of experienced professional players clearly know how to observe the situation, know how to analyze, and know how to counterattack and attack the opponent when Ajax starts to lose strength after a long attack.
After attacking for more than half an hour, Ajax's spirit was worn down by Juventus' defense. Coupled with the strong pressure from Juventus, Ye Qiu's shouting and adjustments on the sidelines had little effect, because many players had been overwhelmed by Juventus.
Playing on the court and watching the game on the sidelines are two completely different feelings, just like being immersed in a swimming pool and standing by the swimming pool. The feeling of water is two completely different feelings, so it is impossible for the head coach and fans to understand the players 100%.
When Ajax began to fade, Juventus quickly regained the initiative. When Camoranesi passed the ball diagonally to Piero, who dribbled the ball to the middle and passed it behind Chivu, Lippi could not help but rush out of the coaching booth excitedly. In his opinion, Trezeguet would not miss such a godsend opportunity.
In fact, the French striker steadily kicked the ball into Van der Sar's goal before Abidal, 1:0.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The Alpi Stadium suddenly rang with overwhelming cheers, and countless Juventus fans shouted Piero's name in unison, offering the highest praise for their zebra prince.
Although this goal was scored by Trezeguet, everyone could see that Piero's assist was crucial, and his outstanding performance in the so-called Piero area was the key factor in this goal.
After scoring, Trezeguet excitedly rushed out of the stadium and rushed to the stands where the fans were, accepting the cheers from the fans in the stands. Although many people shouted Piero's name, he was not disappointed at all.
Goal, for him, is more important than anything else!
Piero, Nedved and other players rushed out of the stadium one after another and celebrated with the French striker on the sidelines.
1:0, although it was only the first record, although Juventus was beaten very badly in the first half an hour, but this goal completely vented the depression since the start of the game, and this is the way Juventus is best at winning.
No ball possession, no field advantage, no initiative, I just want to be able to beat you!
"The biggest regret of Ajax in this game is that they gave up their more three-dimensional offensive method in the past and adopted this more defensive positional warfare, which is almost difficult to achieve in Juventus's iron wall defense." The on-site commentator obviously doubted Ye Qiu's deployment.
Changing the lineup on the spot is a big risk in itself. Almost no famous coach would do this, but Ye Qiu did it.
If you win, you are a hero, but now if you lose, you have to bear the blame!
"Different from Ajax's traditional 4-3-3 tactic in the past, which insisted on advancing from two wings, this game Ajax changed to 4-2-2. It is difficult for the two wings to be effective. Robben on the left Although active, Sneijder on the right has almost no threat. Maicon frequently penetrates forward, resulting in omissions in the back line. Without Van der Vaart on the right to respond, Robben on the left can easily fall into an isolated and helpless situation. ”
"If I must say, then the person who should bear the most responsibility for Ajax's current situation is head coach Ye Qiu. He should give up his too radical ideas and adopt more stable tactics to deal with Juventus. Tusi.”
What the on-site commentator said seems very reasonable and convincing. I believe that countless fans in front of the TV will agree with it. Maybe they will blame Ye for all the losses. Is this really the case with Qiu?
At least some people think not.
Sacchi, who serves as a match commentator on Italian Live TV, believes that Ibrahimovic's absence has a huge impact on Ajax's offense. Even the absence of the Swedish center forced Ye Qiu to take risks.
"Ibrahimovic is a very weird center. He has the body and strength of a powerful center, but at the same time he has very delicate foot skills. He responds to the left and right wings and the ball coming from behind. The tandem is excellent. With him there, Robben and Van der Vaart don’t have to worry about being isolated on the left and right wings.”
"But the center forward Huntelaar is different. He is more accustomed to playing in the penalty area. He has almost no response to the left and right wings. He is more about grabbing points, so in the past, if Ajax If Huntelaar is playing, Ye Qiu will usually consider playing Hleb, allowing the Belarusian to cut inside and cooperate with Sneijder. Whether it is Van der Vaart or Van der Meer on the right, he will definitely be closer to the center and give up attacking on the wing. The way he plays, he plays for Huntelaar.”
"But you obviously can't do that in this game. When facing a powerful opponent like Juventus, you can't let three or four players do what one player could do in the past. That's when facing the Eredivisie. Those teams that are far inferior to Ajax can do this, but now Juventus is stronger than Ajax and has more experience.”
"Using Huntelaar to play Ajax's traditional 433 is definitely a failure and will definitely be strangled by Juventus, so Ye Qiu has to change, abandon the 433 tactic, and let Van der Vaart play as a forward. Huntelaar is cruising behind him. I think this is a very creative change and the starting point is correct. The key is that after the change of formation, Ajax failed to show its due strength. This should be what Ye Qiu must do. Problems that need to be solved as quickly as possible, even during halftime.”
"Ajax's several long-range shots after the start of the first half, especially the long-range shot by Brazilian right back Maicon, were very good. They used the force of running without the ball and passing and receiving to defeat Juventus's iron wall. There is a gap in the game, which should be worthy of Ye Qiu’s deep thinking and he should continue to use this kind of tactics.”
"However, for Ajax at the moment, the most important thing is to ensure the quality of defense. After all, losing 1 goal in an away game is not unacceptable. Steady defense, and then plotting to counterattack and strive for away goals, this is the most important thing." Effective play.”
Sacchi's half-time summary made many fans clearly see Ye Qiu's helplessness. Ibrahimovic's injury forced Ajax to change their formation on the spot. However, facing the steady Juventus, Ajax I'm afraid it will be difficult for Sri Lanka to achieve a breakthrough.
…………
…………
After experiencing a stunning start, Ajax gradually fell into mediocrity and was gradually submerged in the iron wall of Juventus, and was hit by a very efficient counterattack by the opponent, which penetrated its own goal.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Ye Qiu was reflecting on what the problem was.
Change of formation? He feels that it is not a problem at all, and that change is the biggest problem.
But the key is that after the change of formation, it didn't achieve the desired effect at all. What on earth is going on? How should it be adjusted?
When walking towards the players tunnel, at the entrance, he met the silver fox Lippi.
The old fox smiled heartily. It was obvious that the entire first half was not beyond his expectations. Perhaps Ajax's change of formation surprised him a little, but the development of the game ultimately followed his preset track. , he must have arranged the second half well.
"Although I'm sorry, I still feel that I won!" Lippi looked at Ye Qiu with a smile, "You are still young and not realistic enough."
After saying that, he walked into the players' tunnel. His words were somewhat intended to attack his competitors midway.
Ye Qiu looked at his back and smiled playfully, "Are you young? We are able to get to where we are today, isn't it because of our youth?"
Walking into the visiting team's locker room at the end of the tunnel, Ye Qiu could clearly feel that the players were in a very low mood.
A stunning start, a dull process, and a failed ending. This is the saddest thing. The entire first half can almost be said to be full of ups and downs. It is natural that the players' emotions are affected.
Ye Qiu originally had a lot to say. He thought of many words to encourage the players, but he couldn't say them.
Walking up to Van der Vaart, he saw several bruises on the latter's left foot. One of them was as big as the palm of his hand, which was where Montero kicked him. He was currently receiving a massage from the team doctor, and he was grinning in pain. Grinning, tears almost fell out.
The teammates around him looked at him with sympathy. Many players also suffered black feet, but the injuries were not as serious as Van der Vaart's, so they massaged themselves there, and occasionally they would make sounds of pain.
"You should rest in the second half, Raphael!" Ye Qiu felt that his tone was a bit cruel.
Van der Vaart was stunned, raised his head in disbelief, and looked at Ye Qiu. The Ajax players around him were also stunned, thinking that Ye Qiu was crazy? Want to replace Van der Vaart in midfield?
"Boss, I'm fine!" Van der Vaart opened the team doctor's hand, stood up, and jumped a few times in front of Ye Qiu, enduring the pain, "I'm really fine, I can continue to play!" The look in his eyes Full of expectation, even longing.
"In the second half, he will definitely still do this to you, not just with your left foot, but also with your right foot. They will even use various means and tricks to deal with you..."
"I'm not afraid!" Van der Vaart shouted.
Ye Qiu stared into Van der Vaart's eyes and smiled, "Don't be brave, have a good rest, and return to Amsterdam to take revenge!" After saying that, he patted Van der Vaart's shoulder comfortingly, but the Dutchman opened his eyes. .
"Boss, are you going to admit defeat?" Van der Vaart asked loudly.
After hearing this, all the players stood up one by one, showing expressions of concern.
"I know you deliberately used words to provoke me. I was afraid. I was kicked hard in the back for no reason. I was afraid, but I feel regretful now. I shouldn't be afraid. If I wasn't afraid, then they You may not be able to score a goal.”
When he said this, Van der Vaart sobbed, his eyes were red without tears, and he looked stubborn, "I'm not afraid now. Even if he kicks my leg, I'm not afraid anymore. I must take revenge." ”
"Yes, boss, those turtles are so dirty, we want revenge!"
"Teach them a lesson. The more they play like this, the less we can admit defeat. Fuck Juventus, kill them!"
Ye Qiu turned around, glanced at Van der Vaart, then at the surrounding players, and smiled, "Are you trying to provoke me with your words?"
The players immediately laughed.
"But I like you like this. This is the fighting spirit we at Ajax should have. Tooth for tooth, blood for blood. If they want to make small moves, let them go. As long as we do one thing, we can completely finish them off." , that is to kill them and make them lose at the Alpstadion, completely!”
"Yes, boss, we support you!"
"We're all rooting for you, head!"
"That's what you should do!"
"Maicon!" Ye Qiu looked at the depressed Brazilian right back. He had at least three long-range shots in the first half, but none of them hit. Del Piero's assist also came from his mistake.
"Head!" This made the Brazilian a little afraid to speak loudly.
"Do you still dare to continue shooting? Long shot!" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.
Maicon raised his head in surprise and looked at Ye Qiu. Although the latter was smiling, it didn't look like he was joking at all.
"Hurry up, do you dare or not?" Ye Qiu urged.
"Dare!" Maicon nodded.
Ye Qiu pointed at Maicon and smiled, "I thought you were going to be a coward!"
Everyone immediately started laughing too.
Ye Qiu signaled the players to sit down again. Van der Vaart continued to receive emergency treatment from the team doctor. Everyone else was doing their own things. He was in the middle of the locker room and began to analyze the gains and losses of the first half for everyone, and Second half deployment.
"The reason why we lost in the first half was not because our tactics were wrong. On the contrary, judging from the start, our tactics were right. It may not be as effective as our past 433, but it is the most effective we can currently produce. Offensive tactics, so we will continue to use this set of tactics in the second half.”
In the past three or four years, Ye Qiu has become the authority in the hearts of the players, and no one will object to Ye Qiu's words.
"On the offensive end, our biggest problem is the response between the wings and the center. The two wings should pay attention to putting pressure on the opponent's full-backs and creating tactical width. Van der Vaart is roaming on both sides, coupled with Huntelaar, I think as long as you cooperate well with each other, it will be very difficult for Juventus to cut off the connection between the center and the wings.”
"So, you must remember that it is more beneficial to us to open up the width, and we should properly pull the Juventus players through running to create opportunities for the back attack. We were threatening several times after the opening. Attacking and shooting are all done well. Whether it's Maicon, Sneijder, or Yaya Toure, if you have the chance, just do it for me boldly!"
"Okay!!!" Yaya Toure was the first to respond, and everyone else also responded.
Ye Qiu looked at the Ivorian, "Don't just shout, Juventus is playing 4312. In this 4312 tactic, 1 is the most important. He can form a triangle with the two strikers going forward. Please pay attention." When I think about it, several of Juventus' attacks were coordinated and moved between Nedved, Del Piero and Trezeguet, among which Nedved was very important."
"In the future, the attacking midfielder can become a powerful protection and support point for the three midfielders. It can be said that Nedvěd plays a pivotal role in this tactical formation of 2 in front and 3 in back. As long as he is cut off, Point, whether it is the 2 in the front or the 3 in the back, the connection is cut off. "
The players combined the situation in the first half and couldn't help but agree with Ye Qiu's analysis.
"And you have to pay attention. Juventus's left attack is relatively strong. Zambrotta, Piero, and Nedved are all active on this side. Camoranesi is more active on the right. Therefore, Mascherano and Lucio should pay attention to protecting our right side, especially protecting Maicon after he goes forward. As for Yaya Toure, Nedved is left to you!"
The Czech's range of activities is very wide. He is responsible for connecting the front and back, and his attack is very good. Ye Qiu has to focus on it. If he continues to use the system defense, problems will inevitably arise and he will be easily led by the Czechs. Therefore, he arranged a special person to watch him in this game.
"Just now, Lippi told me when I walked into the player tunnel, I'm sorry, I won."
"I don't know what you thought when you heard this, but I was very angry, very angry, but I didn't punch him, because I wanted to follow the rules of the football field, I wanted to beat him fair and square, and then walk up to him and tell him, I'm sorry, I'm the winner!"
