Chapter 203 Come to Camp Nou, Ye Qiu!

Generally speaking, the pace is divided into three important components: step frequency, step length and step point.

Step frequency is the frequency of taking steps, step length is the distance taken for each step, and step point is the landing point of each step.

These three parts determine the level of a person's pace ability, and the level of a person's pace ability often determines a player's dribbling ability, or it can be said that people with poor pace can never dribble the ball well.

Why?

The reason is very simple. If the pace is not good, the center of gravity of the body is unbalanced, and it is difficult to stand steadily. Once the opponent's pressure and pressure are applied, the balance will be lost. How can you dribble the ball well? Look at those so-called technical geniuses who are hit by a collision. They are all of this character.

The pace must be practiced from childhood, and it has been carved from a young age. If it is not carved well from the beginning and the foundation is not laid, when a player develops his own habits and wants to change this habit, it is almost impossible.

To describe it in ordinary people's terms, whether a person's walking posture is good or not is also a habit developed from childhood. When you grow up and realize that you are not good-looking, you want to change it. Is it easy? Can it be changed?

Robben's pace has always been top-notch. The top here does not mean how clever it is. On the contrary, the top here means that he uses the most common pace, but every step he takes, the frequency, stride length and step point can be just right. If he makes a mistake in 50 steps, it will be three or five centimeters. Even more clever ones can make it 100 steps.

Someone else said, are the frequency, stride length and step point really that important?

The whole importance is reflected in the process of Puyol being passed by Robben just now. Robben's passing can even be said to be stereotyped. He is not afraid of you seeing through his pace, nor is he afraid of you blocking in advance, because once you move, he will move with you. He can control his frequency, stride length and step point as he pleases. He can follow you anytime and anywhere and change his step point.

In this way, what can you do if you see through it?

In the end, he could only be like Puyol, because he was stuck in position in advance and his center of gravity shifted. At the moment when Robben passed, he could not move, and even could not commit a foul. He watched the Dutch rush past him.

When Robben rushed to the penalty area at a 45-degree angle, Frank de Boer had to give up Ibrahimovic and rush to Robben. He couldn't let the Dutch rush into the penalty area, but Robben didn't wait for Frank de Boer to get close. He stopped suddenly, slammed the ball and changed direction, from cutting the penalty area at a 45-degree angle to facing the baseline directly.

Two consecutive passes, the technical moves were almost the same, but under Robben's feet, it almost became an invincible weapon.

Frank de Boer was well prepared this time and did not make a move easily. However, when he turned around, his speed was not as fast as Robben's head-on attack. When he turned around, Robben quickly kicked the ball, and Ibrahimovic in the middle overpowered Rezig and used his head to knock Robben's light cross into Bonano's goal.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Less than 2 minutes into the second half, my God, Ajax equalized the score!!"

The commentator shouted very loudly, and the Ajax players in the stadium rushed to Ibrahimovic excitedly, while the Swede hugged Robben tightly on the sidelines, but was soon surrounded by his teammates.

This group of young guys were all panting and looked very excited, but they did not look tired or bored at all. On the contrary, everyone's face was full of excitement and desire.

Scoring a goal and tying the score is a good thing, but it is far from enough.

"We are a group of wolves, vicious wolves who have never eaten meat in their lives. We are going to grab it. Whoever stands in our way will die!"

Ye Qiu's words seemed to still be floating in the ears of the players. They were all very young. They had never had the experience of reaching the top of Europe. They had been dreaming about such a moment since they were young. Now, they had a chance in front of them. They were full of fighting spirit and determination and would never give up!

"No one expected that the start of the second half would be so surprising. Ajax launched continuous attacks from the beginning, threatening Barcelona's goal with two consecutive shots within 2 minutes, and took the lead in breaking Barcelona's goal in the 47th minute to tie the score!"

"This is really a very surprising change. Ajax's tactics in the first half did not have much effect. In the second half, Ye Qiu changed his tactical style, and the whole team became completely sharp. Barcelona's defense in front of Ajax was just like paper, and it broke with a poke!"

When the commentator felt wronged for Barcelona and puzzled for Ajax, Ye Qiu celebrated with his assistants on the sidelines. Two away goals, my God, this is a huge advantage in itself.

The reason why Ye Qiu dared to arrange such a tactic before the game, playing consumption in the first half and attacking in the second half, was actually to understand Barcelona's weaknesses and defects.

Although Antic's Barcelona is still Barcelona's traditional possession style of play, it has actually changed a lot. For example, the midfield combination is Xavi and Seydou Keita, of which Seydou Keita is Barcelona's best performer this season. The most outstanding player, almost everyone believes that this is the only signing made right during Gasparta's tenure.

But there is a problem, that is, they will never get used to it. How can they play football when they cannot control the ball?

What did Barcelona do later?

High defense, pressure and pressing in the midfield and frontcourt!

But this requires everyone in the midfield and frontcourt, even Messi, to actively participate in pressing and pressing.

Although Barcelona today has sent away big names like Rivaldo, players such as Kluivert, Overmars, and Saviola are still there. They cannot actively engage in counterattacks like Messi, Eto'o, and others. , and without their counterattack, in the end it will only increase the burden on the teammates behind them.

Barcelona was very lucky in the Champions League and set a record of consecutive unbeaten runs, but that was when they did not encounter a strong team or a high forward. Otherwise, with their defense line with such a short average height, As long as they encounter a high center who has the power to intimidate the penalty area, they will die miserably.

Real Sociedad's Kovacevic scored twice when he met Barcelona, ​​and Deportivo's Mackay also scored twice when he met Barcelona. The two centers are both 1.88 meters tall, and they are both of that type. There are tall and impactful high center forwards, and as long as they attack around them, Barcelona can't do anything.

Maybe someone said again, you are a big idiot. You are stupid and you think that the top brass of Barcelona are as stupid as you. They have a lot of money, so why don't they buy a few high-defenders?

Yes, Barcelona has tall defenders. Kristan Val cost Barcelona 17 million euros and is 1.88 meters tall. Patrick Anderson joined Barcelona after helping Bayern win the Champions League. He is 1.86 meters tall. Both of them are not short. Logically speaking. They should all be powerful additions to the team.

But Patrick Anderson has played a total of 15 times for Barcelona in the past two seasons, and only has a pitiful 3 times this season. Christian Vale has played 22 times last season, but only has a pitiful 5 times this season, including Of course, part of it is due to injuries.

But the more important reason is that these two high defenders have never been suitable for La Liga, nor for Barcelona's overall tactical system. They were introduced at a high price, and after trying for a while, the effect was not as effective as the partnership of De Boer and Reiziger. , over time, everyone will choose Xue Zang, choosing a central defender who is in better and better condition.

If it is in La Liga, where there are fewer high center forwards and a fast and open style of play is emphasized, the partnership of De Boer and Reiziger will be very effective. Occasionally, Barcelona can rely on the team with high center forwards. Its own tyrannical strength suppresses its opponents, that is, when it encounters tough enemies like Real Sociedad and Super Deportivo, Barcelona will reveal its true colors.

But it's completely different in the European arena. At least Ajax has a high center forward, and he's a freak.

Ye Qiu was so confident in this game, and he was betting on Barcelona's miserable defense.

…………

…………

After equalizing the score, Ajax's morale was high, while Barcelona was in a dilemma.

Whether to attack or defend, head coach Antic did not give an accurate answer because he was also considering it.

But Ajax obviously would not give time to let Barcelona think about the problem slowly. After they equalized the score, they continued to adopt a high defensive strategy, launched a fierce attack on Barcelona, ​​and got opportunities one after another.

Among them, the most threatening thing was in the 58th minute. Maicon went straight to the baseline. Van der Vaart got the ball and quickly moved it to the goal. Ibrahimovic surrounded him in front of the goal and blocked Reiziger with his body. When trying to grab the point from close range, the ball was slightly deflected, almost grazing the bottom line of the post.

But just when Barcelona breathed a sigh of relief, midfielder Xavi got the ball and wanted to cooperate with Mendieta, but Yaya Toure stepped forward to intercept and quickly dribbled the ball forward. Ibrahimovic Qi retreated and blocked Frank De Boer with his back. Yaya Toure's pass came directly to his feet. The Swede did not hesitate at all. He stopped the ball and turned around to immediately take the ball and pass behind him.

Van der Vaart came in from behind Reiziger at a very fast speed. After getting the ball, he drove straight in and faced Bonanno alone in the penalty area. He passed Bonanno with a flexible fake move and pushed the shot into the empty goal. 3: 2!

The entire Camp Nou stadium was completely stunned. Many of them were still confused about why the situation took such a turn in the second half. Did the Ajax midfielder take doping? Otherwise, how could it be more active than the first half? The offense is also sharper?

If Barcelona could still retain a sense of morale before, then as Ajax scored two goals in a row and completed the reversal, this morale has been completely exhausted, coupled with the increasing physical exertion. It's getting more and more powerful, and Ajax's speed increase is simply fatal to them, and they can't keep up at all.

Therefore, after being reversed, Barcelona not only failed to prevent an effective counterattack, but continued to be suppressed by Ajax.

This time, Antić responded quickly. He first replaced Xavi with Cocu, who had better defensive ability, and let the Dutch midfielder and Seydou Keita form a double midfielder combination, hoping to limit the wolf-like Ajax.

The substitution adjustment did achieve certain results. Barcelona's central road was stabilized, but Ye Qiu also made changes, immediately letting the players start to go more to the sidelines. Yaya Toure and Sneijder also took more resolute back-insertion to form a second-tier attack, threatening and interfering with Cocu and Seydou Keita.

Ibrahimovic can almost be said to have defeated the two central defenders of Barcelona alone. Cocu and Seydou Keita had to protect the defense line and assist Ibrahimovic, which made it easy for Barcelona's defense to be led by the Swede.

In the 71st minute, Robben did not choose to go to the bottom after getting the ball on the left. Instead, when Ibrahimovic pulled the entire Barcelona's defensive focus to the left side of the penalty area, he chose to dribble the ball horizontally and then pass it horizontally to Sneijder.

The Dutch midfielder did not hesitate at all. When he saw Bonano's position on the left, he swung his right foot and shot directly. The ball rose slightly and fell quickly, going straight into the lower right corner of the goal, 4:2!

The whole process was very easy. Ajax's attack seemed very natural. The ball went in without much interference and influence. After the goal, everyone in Barcelona looked a little dull, standing straight on the court, not knowing what to do or how to do it.

Antić made the second substitution adjustment. Rochemback replaced Overmars, and then replaced Saviola with Argentine defender Sorin, letting Gabriel play in the midfield and Sorin play as left back, continuing to strengthen the defense in the middle of the midfield.

In this way, Barcelona's defense was barely stabilized.

Seeing that there were not many chances left, Ye Qiu did not continue to fight. He replaced Huntelaar, Van der Meyde and Kolo Toure successively to ensure the team's physical fitness and sustained combat capability, but more of it was to maintain a threat to Barcelona. Everyone could see that Ajax was no longer attacking with all their strength.

4:2 reversal of Barcelona, ​​4 away goals, this has undoubtedly completely destroyed Barcelona's hope of advancing to the final, because if they still want to beat Ajax, they must score 3 goals at the Arena Stadium, but is this possible? I believe that looking at the entire European football world, the team that dares to say that it has a 3-goal victory over Ajax has not yet been born!

Barcelona fans seemed very dissatisfied and very angry, especially as the two teams gradually adopted a more conservative strategy. Antic used up three substitutions early, but they were all strengthening defense, showing their weak and lack of aggressive side. Barcelona fans were booing wildly in the stands.

Perhaps, in their opinion, even if facing the fierce Ajax, even if they conceded more goals, Barcelona should fight to the last minute and carry out the belief of winning throughout the game, instead of giving up early, even if giving up seems more rational, it is not allowed.

"Get out, weak Antic!"

"You don't deserve to wear Barcelona's jersey, you bunch of losers!"

"Get out of Camp Nou, stop bringing shame to Barcelona!"

From the stands of Barcelona, ​​debris, curses, and boos flew together. The emotional fans no longer cared about the home and away teams. Anyway, everyone should boo, curse, and be driven out of Camp Nou, this sacred place.

"From Van Gaal to Antic, the unbeaten streak in the Champions League has given Barcelona an unprecedented optimism. They are even looking forward to it. They think that the team can't even get the Champions League qualification in La Liga, which doesn't matter, because this will allow the team to focus more on the Champions League title."

"But sometimes, fans easily forget one thing. They are so uncompetitive in La Liga. What can they rely on to beat their opponents in the more competitive European arena? Is it Kluivert? Riquelme? Overmars and others?"

The commentator on the scene found Barcelona's current situation unbelievable. He didn't understand why the fans thought they should give up La Liga and compete for the Champions League with all their strength? Is the Champions League easier than La Liga?

Yes, there are indeed some teams that are better at playing cup games. For example, Ye Qiu himself is regarded by many people as being better at playing cup games, but that is also based on the strength of the team. Without sufficient strength, no matter what you do, you can't make it to the end.

Barcelona's journey in the Champions League this season was indeed full of luck. The strongest team they encountered was Arsenal, but the two rounds of the game were very embarrassing and difficult. But now, having reached the semi-finals, Ye Qiu's Ajax used a bloody victory to wake up all the Barcelona fans who were still intoxicated by the unbeaten streak in the Champions League.

"4:2 home loss, Barcelona wants to reverse Ajax, the possibility is very, very small, but we all have reason to believe that this game will make Barcelona sober again, especially Ye Qiu's strategizing in this game, all demonstrated the strength of a first-class European coach."

"In the first half, Barcelona's physical strength was deliberately consumed, and in the second half, they attacked resolutely. These two different tactics completely played Barcelona into the palm of their hands. The whole process was very similar to the game in which Ajax beat Juventus 3:0 at home. This also made everyone convinced of Ye Qiu's coaching ability."

"There is news that Ye Qiu will move into the Camp Nou after the end of this season. I think that with his strength, as long as the new chairman and management can trust him, he will have a lot of achievements. After all, he only took 3 years to build this invincible Ajax. Therefore, his future in the Camp Nou is definitely worth our expectations."

"Many people say that this game is Ye Qiu's interview at the Camp Nou. From the process of the game, Ye Qiu handed in a perfect answer sheet. We can even see some fans graffiti on the spot in the stands of the Camp Nou, writing a welcome to Ye Qiu."

From the TV screen, you can see that Barcelona fans in the stands wrote some propaganda slogans.

"No Antic, Ye Qiu!"

"Welcome to Camp Nou, Ye!"

"Come to Camp Nou, Ye, this will be your new stage!"
