096 Historic moment
Thanks to "kylz" for the reward!
-------
A team puts aside the management and management level, in the field of practical competition, there are two most important components: one is the coaching team and the other is the players. △¢
There is a saying that a snake cannot do without a head, and a soldier cannot be in trouble.
Any team's brilliant achievements must be inseparable from the contribution of the head coach. Even if the head coach's attention is not as good as that of the star, in other words, if the head coach is dispensable, then why will this professional role exist in football for a long time?
What exists must be reasonable.
In a competitive confrontation in a game, there are generally two parts.
In the battle between head coaches, most of the players on the court also execute the head coach's tactical arrangements, fulfilling the head coach's means of achieving the game goals.
In this Champions League match, Koeman's opponent is Ancelotti!
In a sense, the 22 players on the field were all pawns in the hands of the head coach.
In the overall height of technical and tactical clashes, the two coaches who issue orders and decide how to play are.
Koeman's idea of this game is to avoid his edge at the beginning, let Sikola do his best to harass him on the right and consume AC Milan!
Strategically, it is also a kind of prelude to the east and west. After Qin Xiong comes on the court, Qin Xiong will dispatch the offense and fight back to the middle lane. At that time, there will be no temptation or harassment, and it will be a decisive battle to die!
However, since the opening, Ajax failed to realize Koeman's strategic concept for the game!
Because AC Milan takes the move first!
When Qin Xiong witnessed the development of the game, he even wondered if AC Milan had installed spies in the Ajax locker room!
AC Milan’s focus is Karaze who did not play in the last game!
He happened to be in the same position with Sikola!
Sikola's right winger and Karaze's left back.
Before Sikola could attack Karaze, Karaze first shuttled up and down the left side with the support of AC Milan's strong midfield control!
The reason why Koeman wanted to use Sikola was very simple. In the last game, Maldini did not make much contribution to the offense on the wing, because it was difficult for Maldini to complete the task of shuttle up and down as a full-back. Given this, Sikoa was responsible for the consumption task in this game.
However, when Karaze hit the full-back and rushed forward, Ajax's defensive system was obviously panicked!
With a single back midfielder, you may not be able to defend against that handsome Brazilian, Kaka!
So Ajax wants to play double midfielders. Even so, behind Kaka, Pirlo, and Seedorf are all characters who can rush to the front of the penalty area at any time to threaten the show.
De Jong and Galasek dare not easily support the side lane, otherwise the middle lane would be broken.
And Grigra alone has to defend Karaze head-on, can she defend herself?
Maybe, but it is definitely not 100% successful!
Sikola must return to defense!
His initiative is all about returning to defense, so how can he consume AC Milan?
Koeman did not expect that AC Milan, who was tepid in San Siro, actually came to the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium. At the beginning of the game, he immediately acted as a counterattack!
He didn't want to admit it, but the reality was so cruel.
Just based on the situation after the opening, he, Ronald Coman, lost to Carlo Ancelotti!
So, Ancelotti is the Champions League champion coach, and he is actually nothing.
Qin Xiong was also very shocked.
The back line of AC Milan was very stable in the last game. Maldini taught Sikola a lesson, making him useless and seem like a confused and aggrieved child.
That's true, Koeman's strategic concept is based on the fact that Maldini will not undertake more offensive tasks as a full-back!
But AC Milan has made active changes in a position without any problems or hidden dangers!
This may be the wisdom of Ancelotti, who looks like a good old man, lies in his military intelligence.
With this hand, Ajax's grand strategic vision for this game can be declared completely collapsed, and all plans can be thrown into the trash can!
Sikola took the mission to the game, but she could only chase Karaze and participate in the defense, which made him lose his mind from the beginning, and he himself was anxious!
If his role cannot be played out, Ajax must change!
Rare, after only 10 minutes of the game, Koeman asked Qin Xiong to warm up!
Without saying a word, Qin Xiong put on a special training shirt for the Champions League match and started warming up on the sidelines.
In the field, AC Milan used the tactic of Karaze to break through on the left side to play a role and gradually got better.
Within 5 minutes of Qin Xiong's warm-up, AC Milan scored two threatening shots, from Thomason and Kaka!
All were created from the side of Karaze.
This forced Ajax to tilt the defense center to the right.
After Qin Xiong finished warming up, he returned to head coach Koeman and listened to Koeman's tactical arrangements.
One wrong step, one wrong step!
Qin Xiong was originally going to be a surprise soldier, but now Koman has assigned him the task to go up and put out the fire!
Stabilize Ajax!
Van der Fate's defensive enthusiasm is different from Qin Xiong. If Van der Fate plays the front midfielder, if he cannot interfere with and block the back of Pirlo or Seedorf, he will not be able to liberate the double midfielder Garasek and De Jong to assist in the defense of the wing. This is a chain reaction that is linked together!
If Sikola cannot play his due tactical role on the court, then there is no need for him to stay on the court!
As a right winger, his main task is definitely not to fill in the defense.
Qin Xiong's mind was very fast, and he could instantly understand Koeman's intention to change his tactical skills.
He goes up and takes over Van der Fate's position, strengthens the defense in the middle, and liberates both midfielders. At least De Jong or Galassek can assist in the defense of the wing, and then Van der Fate plays the right winger or left winger, and Sneider replaces it. Then, Ajax can stabilize the offensive and defensive system again.
Just as Qin Xiong nodded on the sidelines, a sudden change occurred on the court!
Karaze rushed to the front line again, but this time, he did not break through, cut inside, and made a cross from the wing. Instead, he directly passed the ball back in front of the penalty area and returned the ball to the triangle position.
Seidorf was there to pick up and rolled the ball diagonally to the right half.
Pirlo pressed the penalty area in front of the penalty area, stopped the ball and flexibly passed it straight out!
The football rolled past Galasek, penetrated his defense area, and then rolled into the penalty area against Escud. Shevchenko cut into the penalty area, kept stopping, and directly pushed the ball diagonally to the goal and shot the near corner of the goal!
Although Lobonte had tried his best to block the near corner of the goal, he was still slow, and the football rolled into the goal against the inside of the goal post!
Koeman was stunned!
The tactic of Ajax who was supposed to be fighting against the east and west was actually the first to be effective by AC Milan!
Karaze, the impact after the opening game is just a feint!
The real killer move was suddenly transferred to the other half, with Pirlo's last pass from threatening attack!
Shevchenko celebrated in a stadium with a thrill of enthusiasm, and Ancelotti showed a kind smile, as if there was no tension or worry from the first minute of coming here.
The Amsterdam Athletic Stadium is dead silent, Ajax fans are hesitant, helpless and desperate!
At least Ajax's performance after the opening game has not given fans any confidence!
The score is behind!
At this time, Koeman insisted on substitution. Although Qin Xiong thought Koeman was decisive enough, the timing seemed to be a minute or two less!
You know, in football games, if the player had not left the court due to injury, it would be almost impossible for him to be replaced in the first half!
But Koeman asked Qin Xiong to warm up, which means he would make substitution adjustments in the first half, which requires courage and decisiveness.
Now, he has only made substitution adjustments after only 20 minutes of the game. How heavy will it be for Sikola's confidence blow?
Koeman can no longer care about so much. If he loses this game, Ajax can almost declare that he will be eliminated in the Champions League!
Even if there is hope, destiny will not be completely in your own hands.
Under the worrying gaze of the Ajax people, Qin Xiong stood on the sidelines, Sikola lowered her head, and the thin one looked a little aggrieved at this moment.
He may have done nothing wrong, but he was "shamed" to be substituted in the first 20 minutes!
Qin Xiong could not give him any help, so he could only hug him strongly with his arms and then run into the field with a firm look.
Perhaps Qin Xiong himself did not realize that at the moment he stepped onto the stadium, in the distant East and the land of China, countless Chinese fans cheered for him, were proud of him, and were filled with blood!
A historic moment!
In the history of the Champions League, the first Chinese player has appeared on this stage!
Chapter completed!
