Before the whistle to start the game sounded, Arena Stadium had become a vast ocean.

The surging fans were like the waves of the surging English Channel, constantly slapping everyone's hearts, creating a very shocking momentum and pressure.

If the team Ajax hated the most was Feyenoord, then in the past few years, they hated Eindhoven the most, because it was this team that brought them one nightmare defeat after another.

"Many people once said that Eindhoven was once a huge shadow on Ajax's heart. They were difficult to gain advantage in Eindhoven, and even lost faces at Arena Stadium. But in the past two years, the situation seems to have turned on, Ajax has become Eindhoven's nightmare."

"Ye Qiu has been defeating Eindhoven for the first time since leading Ajax second team to the Netherlands Cup, defeating Eindhoven, who is ambitious to create a double championship, completely knocked down Eindhoven, who is ambitious to create a double championship. His Ajax has never been defeated by Eindhoven."

"Source revealed that the main purpose of the Eindhoven senior management invited Hiddink this time was to overthrow the Ajax dynasty established by Ye Qiu and push Ajax off the throne. This game is undoubtedly a crucial start."

The camera kept swinging around Arena Stadium, looking at the stands on all sides of the stadium, with people rushing and full of people. Ajax fans accounted for the vast majority of them. They created a momentum that swept the entire venue, and they wanted to swallow the visiting team.

"In Arena Stadium, Eindhoven's players must be more courageous, otherwise it would be difficult for them to perform normally!"

The live commentator laughed and teased, and as the camera turned, he fell to the visiting team coach's seat.

"This is Eindhoven's newly appointed head coach this season. The local famous coach Hiddink just led the South Korean team to the semi-finals of the World Cup in the World Cup. He is the most popular head coach in the world football world today and the hope of Eindhoven's fans."

Soon, the camera fell to the front of the home team's coach's seat again.

"This is Ajax's head coach. Ye Qiu, a Chinese head coach who is only 28 years old this year, has been in Ajax for three years. He led Ajax II to create history in the first year and won the Dutch Cup championship. Although he lost the league championship in the second year, the double champions of the League Cup and the Dutch Cup championship are also very large."

"But what really made Ye Qiu famous was last season. With his strong strength, Ajax broke through two rounds of group stages in the European Champions League field, and invincible to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, and eventually lost to Real Madrid, who won the championship. However, Ajax won the league championship and the Dutch Cup in a row, becoming the double champion again."

"Many media believe that Ye Qiu is a talented young coach, young but talented, but Ajax has left two core midfielders this season. Although his performance in the warm-up match before the season is eye-catching, no one knows whether Ye Qiu's team can continue to maintain the outstanding performance last season when it comes to the official game?"

While the live commentator was talking, the referee finally blew the whistle to start the game.

…………

…………

When Hiddink came to Eindhoven, there was not much time left for him to transfer, but he still brought in two stars Lee Yongpyo and Park Ji-sung from his former Korean international lineup.

In this game against Ajax, both players qualified for the starter.

The goalkeepers are Watrus, the defenses are Lee Rongpiao, Hofland, Faber and Oye, the midfields are Park Ji-sung, Van Bomel, Voger and Romedal, and the double strikers are Kezhmann and Heiserink.

It is different from Ye Qiu's previous life. Because Robben was already taken by Ajax in advance, Eindhoven did not have a good choice on the left. Hidduk used two Korean players to play on the left, while Romedal on the right has always been Eindhoven's most threatening offensive route.

Ajax's starting lineup is also different from last season. Goalkeeper Van der Sar and defense are Abidal, Kivo, Lucio and Macon, the three midfielders are Arteta, De Jong and Sneider, and the Tridents are Robben, Ibrahimovic and Van der Fate.

The most obvious difference is that in the midfield, without Gilberto Silva and Sedo Keita, Arteta and De Jong were replaced by. Many people are more worried about Ajax's midfield. After all, the two midfield cores who left have passed the test of Eredivisie and European arenas, but the two newly joined players have not yet performed convincingly.

Hiddink's starting tactics still use the same trick that all teams deal with Ajax last season, tighten the three lines, play steadily, and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. According to media reports and judging from the pre-season warm-up match of Eindhoven, Eindhoven's offense is still focused on the sidelines.

The double forwards are somewhat similar to Liverpool during the Hollier era. A tall and strong center forward is responsible for rushing to the opponent's defense and creating opportunities for the faster and more flexible Kezhmann.

But what was unexpected was that Ajax not only accepted all the areas given out after Eindhoven was recycled, showing an aggressive momentum, but also gave Eindhoven a tragic slap from the beginning.

As soon as the whistle sounded, Ibrahimovic passed the ball to Robben, who knocked back to the back of Kivo, who was the back, but everyone in the frontcourt of Ajax was already rushing forward quickly. After Kivo stopped the ball, he looked up and observed it, swung his left foot and passed it forward.

I saw Van der Fate rushing forward quickly on the right. The extremely fast Dutchman instantly threw away the Korean player Li Rongpyo. The latter was a first-timer and was startled by Van der Fate's sudden impact. He realized that when he wanted to catch up, he saw Van der Fate had lifted his foot and removed the ball and rushed into the penalty area quickly.

Hofland kept chasing behind him. Van der Fate made Hofland think he was going to go down the bottom and blocked it quickly. When Van der Fate suddenly hit his heel, he seemed to have eyes behind him. The ball was knocked back to the front of the penalty area. Sneider just slapped the horse and caught up and shot directly with a shot.

Watrus made a save, but it was beyond the reach, so he could only watch the ball enter the net, 1:0!

"Oh my god, the ball is in!!!" The commentator on the scene was stunned.

Not only him, but everyone in the Arena Stadium was stunned.

At that moment, the court seemed to have become dead silent, followed by crazy venting and celebration.

"Just just started, less than 20 seconds later, no, in just 17 seconds, Ajax took the lead in breaking Eindhoven's goal. This was a very, very sudden rapid attack. Kivo made a long pass from the backcourt and found Van der Fate accurately. Korean player Li Rongpyo was not focused enough and missed Van der Fate."

"It's amazing, with a lightning goal, Ajax took the lead!"

Ajax's players rushed out of the field to celebrate frantically. Sneider raised his arms and knelt down below the stadium stands, allowing his teammates to hug him, open his mouth, and keep laughing.

It was the first time for Ajax to break through Eindhoven's goal just now.

Ye Qiu looked in a good mood on the sidelines, clapping his palms gently, and affirming his players' hard performance.

But Hiddink's expression was rather bleak. Even South Korean President Kim Dae-jung, accompanied by Ajax Chairman Van Prag and Dutch government officials, seemed very embarrassed because no one expected that the first time players from their country appeared in the Dutch arena, the impression that people left was a mistake.

But it is obvious that Hiddink's nightmare is not over yet.

Eindhoven's tactics started with defensive counterattacks. Ajax's offense was very impactful. This was the most powerful weapon they had to strait the Europa last season. The wings consisted of Robben, Van der Fate, Hleb and Van der Mede, plus the ** center of Ibrahimovic, as well as Hunteral and Ajax's offense was very threatening.

Hiddink does not want to confront Ajax head-on, but rather wants to adopt a strategy of stabilizing defense, getting rid of Ajax's spirit, and then slowly planning a counterattack. This is also the strategy of many teams dealing with Ajax last season.

But what I didn't expect was that Ajax's tactics suddenly changed this season.

The most obvious change is that when Eindhoven retracted the three lines, Ajax pressed the defense directly up without hesitation, but it seemed more patient, and Arteta controlled the ball about 30 meters outside Eindhoven's goal.

This is a very sensitive area. First of all, he is behind the forward, but before the central defender, if he wants to defend Arteta, he either let the forward retreat or let the central defender step forward. But if he let the forward retreat retreat, it is equivalent to releasing a central defender. Ajax's two central defenders are good at long passes and the other is good at inserting back, which is very threatening.

If the central defender comes forward, it will be even more dangerous, because no matter who comes forward from Van Bomel or Voger, Van der Fat will cut from the right as soon as possible to form a horn with Sneijds, and Arteta will definitely pass to them as soon as possible, with two against one in some areas, and Ajax's offense is creating a threat anytime and anywhere.

But if you don't guard against him, you can't let Arteta control the ball outside the 30-meter area, because in this area, you only need to pass the ball to send the ball to a deadly position. If Ajax controls the ball outside his goal, it is equivalent to a woman who has taken off her clothes lying in front of a client, ravaging her whenever she wants.

"I really didn't expect that Ajax has given up the impactful play of the past, which is so exciting that he has been playing in a big way and has adopted a more delicate ball-control tactic. This is somewhat surprising. Arteta's range of activities is also very large, unlike Sneijder who is more in the 30-meter area, cruising behind Ibrahimovic, Van der Fat and Ronaldo himself. Arteta is more like a character who inherits the past and starts the future."

De Jong was in the back midfielder, allowing Ajax's right back Maicon to boldly intervene in and participate in the attack. As soon as Maicon pressed, Van der Fate cut inward, allowing the entire right to give up. When Ajax's two sides were playing very well, he could use the advantage of the number of players to put pressure on Eindhoven in the middle.

…………

…………

Hiddink couldn't sit still, so he could only walk out of the visiting team coach's seat, stand on the sidelines, and frowned at the game on the court.

There is a saying that is right, it is better to see it than to hear it.

He had heard a lot about Ye Qiu and Ajax before, but that was more obtained from the media, newspapers and reporters, and many competitions were also seen through live TV. It was not as good as being on-site to come to the scene.

In less than ten minutes, Ajax gave him a sense of marvel.

The speed of the wind and the powerful impact, the goal just now completely suppressed Eindhoven's morale to the bottom.

That goal seemed simple, it was nothing more than a long pass from the backcourt to launch an attack. The player in front used his speed to get the ball and then entered the penalty area, attracting the attention of the defensive and knocking back. At best, Van der Fate's heel pass was full of imagination.

But in fact, in this goal, Hiddink saw more.

Van der Fate's speed and technology are very well combined. This Dutch rookie, known as the New Cruyff, is very outstanding. He also cooperates with his partner Sneider very well. He knows very clearly that when he rushes forward, Sneider will follow him.

Sneider was firmly nailed to the 30-meter zone by Ye Qiu. This was not a casual move. His catch and exit speed were too fast. Almost every catch had already thought about how to exit the ball in advance. He and Arteta always maintained the closest distance, maintaining an interaction and echo.

This must be the tacit understanding and tactics that Ye Qiu deliberately created during training in daily life. Both players have excellent ball protection abilities. The ball is rarely thrown under their feet and have strong ability to get rid of it. In addition, their ability to use the ball makes them a crucial part of Ajax's ball path advancement.

But if it is just this link, Ajax's offense is not terrible. He has a strong breakthrough in the middle and is very good at defending no matter how strong he is.

If you carefully analyze the two players' routes, you can find an interesting point. Sneijder's goal is more about moving forward, either to Ibrahimovic or to two wingers, but basically they want to pass behind, or to pass back.

Arteta has very few back passes, about 1 of the ten balls, but three of them are looking for Sneider or forward passes, and the rest are all divided into side balls. This is a very interesting phenomenon. The two players have a clear division of labor and cooperation, and they are connected very tightly and closely.

Arteta and Sneider formed a clear division of ball control area in the middle of the midfield. The players in front, back, left and right carried out active and unball-free running around this area, which allowed Ajax to gain plenty of ball control opportunities in front of Eindhoven's defense line after the opening.

On the other hand, Eindhoven was constantly pulled by Ajax through passing and receiving the ball, creating loopholes in the defensive system, and soon exposed fatal loopholes.

In the 21st minute, Arteta got rid of Voger and passed directly to Sneijder. The latter rushed to the left before Van Bomel and passed it to the left. Robben used his speed to rush before Oye, and passed the ball low into the penalty area with his left foot, just right through the goalkeeper Watrus and Ibrahimovic.

The Swedish center has been waiting for the opportunity here for a long time. When the ball comes, he directly grabs the point. The ball passes through Watrus' armpit, 2:0!

For a moment, all Ajax fans rushed out of their seats and cheered for the team's second goal.

Hiddink stood in front of the visiting team's coaching seat and accepted the ridicule and humiliation from the home team fans in the stands, but he had no choice because he had to admit one thing.

"We still underestimate him too much!" Hiddink said helplessly to his assistant Pim Wibeck.

He obviously refers to Ye Qiu here.

According to Hiddink's previous view of Ye Qiu, no matter how outstanding this person is, he is only 28 years old. Perhaps his football philosophy is very good and advanced, but there are inevitably some congenital shortcomings. In addition, he left two tiger players this summer. The players he introduced are not famous and the prices are not high, so his strength should be weakened.

It has to be said that this is an inertial thinking of many people in Europe, that is, the value of players is reflected in the transfer fee to some extent. They have never believed in the so-called introduction of high-level players at low prices, especially for Dutch Eredivisie teams like Ajax.

With the continuous development of informatization, there will be fewer and fewer talented stars who are late for success or who are not satisfied with talent.

But unexpectedly, Ye Qiu lost two tiger players, but introduced Arteta, a technical player, and then completely adjusted Ajax's entire tactics. Now Ajax has begun to add more delicate control to the impact tactics of the past that are so big and big.

"We should make some adjustments and strengthening the midfield may be a good way," said Pim Wibeck.

The only option to strengthen the midfield is to weaken the offense, but adjusting the tactics through substitutions in the first half will undoubtedly make everyone doubt Hiddink's prestige and tactical literacy, because it is equivalent to admitting that his starting tactics have completely failed.

"Wait and see!" Hiddink obviously hopes to stabilize the situation through adjustments on the court.

But at this moment, after receiving the pass from Macon, Van der Fate dribbled in and took the initiative to cooperate with Sneijder with two passes and one pass, and passed directly behind him. Ibrahimovic suppressed Hofran with his body, shot with his right foot, and once again pierced through the goal guarded by Watrus.

In half an hour, Eindhoven's defense lasted for only half an hour before Ajax scored 3 goals. This made the Ajax fans in the stands laugh crazy. What they saw was that Ajax beat Eindhoven and drew 3 goals in a row.

"3:0, this game lost its suspense early!"

Even the live commentator was disappointed with Eindhoven's debut in the new season.
