1596 This is crazy!
"Stay ninety minutes?"
In the office of the Cruyff Stadium in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Wei Zheng, Van Gaal and Van der Sar were watching the game live broadcast. Seeing Ajax lead Barcelona with two goals, everyone was filled with joy.
But as for the comments from the live commentator, Van Gaal, Van der Sar and others smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
"How is this possible?" Borgkamp also smiled bitterly.
"We are not Superman!" Davis was also very shocked. You know, his career is known for his running and stealing skills. Even after he gets old, he can help Rijkaard win the championship at Barcelona because of these two skills.
But even so, he was still shocked by Yang Yang's Ajax's running ability.
Times have changed!
Many people only see that Yang Yang brought Ajax's performance improvement, but they did not notice that in the past year, Ajax has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the performance improvement is just the result of a series of changes.
Not to mention anything else, just talk about physical training.
In the past few years, European football has paid more and more attention to the use of high technology. Many teams have been investing in research and construction in this area, striving to build their own moat, especially the giant teams.
In recent years, the scientific level of football training has been far more scientific than ten years ago. The complete training system created by Yang Yang for Ajax made all of them unbelievable, including Van Gaal, Van der Sar and Davis.
Not only is technology progressing, but concepts are also evolving.
The final result is that this young Ajax can score twenty-five steals in less than twenty minutes. What an amazing number?
This means that in the past twenty minutes, Ajax has tried to break through Barcelona's defense twenty-five times.
Many people see a 2-0 lead, but behind these two goals, Ajax is testing it again and again.
Is Barcelona's defense not doing well?
No, it was Ajax's offensive tests that cost too many times!
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about them.
As long as the hoe dances well, you can't dig it down without a city wall.
No matter how strong the defense is, it cannot withstand the opponent's tests and attempts again and again.
But no matter how scientific and advanced the training is, no matter how much time is to prepare before the game, Ajax still can't stand it.
Yang Yang's philosophy and ideas are very good and very advanced, but he only has high physical requirements.
Even a young team like Ajax cannot maintain a fast-paced offensive and defensive battle of ninety minutes.
...
"The lead of two goals should be done, and you should have a proper rest." Van Gaal sighed and said.
Van der Sa nodded and said, "Yes, if you don't take a break, the players will not be able to bear the physical fitness. Barcelona will counterattack quickly, that's dangerous."
A lean camel is bigger than a horse, and a rotten boat has three kilograms of nails.
Barcelona's strength is there. Although he was stunned by Ajax from the beginning, he would definitely think too much about suppressing Barcelona in the whole game.
Ajax's best choice is to grab a shot at the beginning, and after taking the lead, they can reasonably allocate their physical fitness.
Next, let’s see Yang Yang’s on-site command.
This is an art and a metaphysics.
He should slow down appropriately and breathe a breath and maintain his combat ability of 90 minutes, but he cannot give up the rhythm to Barcelona. This requires him to be able to control the situation on the court in time and suppress his opponent as soon as possible when Barcelona counterattacks.
This is the art of on-site command!
"However, judging from the current situation, we are afraid we will be in trouble this summer." Orvemas smiled bitterly.
After hearing this, everyone laughed bitterly, who said it was not?
Ajax reached the UEFA Cup finals. Although he lost to Manchester United, he was poached by other teams and his lineup was deducted. All the main players including Clarson, Dorbery, Davidson Sanchez were hollowed out, causing Ajax's subsequent performance to plummet.
Nowadays, the situation facing Ajax is also the same.
The results in the Champions League are indeed amazing, but there are also many giants who covet Ajax players. The test for club management at this time lies in how to operate the transfer.
It is impossible to sell none of you, and it is even more impossible to sell all of you.
How to sell at a higher price?
These are all very tests of the Ajax management team's skills.
Fortunately, in the past few years, especially in the recent year, a group of people led by Wei Zheng, Van der Sar and Mennon Herren have quickly mastered various departments, and Ajax's entire management system has also introduced modern business philosophy. I believe that it will be more relaxed to deal with it than before.
…………
…………
Sure enough, after leading two goals, the game began to enter a stalemate.
Ajax slowed down the pace of pressing and oppression, and bought more time for himself to recover.
Barcelona was a little confused at first, but quickly reacted and tried to fight back, but Ajax snatched it up again and pushed it back. After twenty-five minutes, Barcelona controlled the ball, but it was difficult to create a threatening attack.
The only threat is Messi.
...
"Yang Yang knows Barcelona so well!"
In the Real Madrid administrative office in Valdebebas, Chairman Florentino and others watched the game together.
They were all frightened and felt refreshed at the same time.
This is the impact Ajax football has brought to them.
Even Florentino can see that Yang Yang knows very well about Barcelona and has great experience in dealing with it.
"Yes, he played for us for nine years and played for three more years at Liverpool. Even as early as Ajax, he had dealt with Barcelona a lot. He knew Barcelona's way of passing and controlling the ball. In recent years, Barcelona has indeed become too obsessed with their so-called small-small spirit pass and controlling the ball system." Butragno sighed.
This transmission and control system led Barcelona to the top and won a Champions League championship in 2013, but since then, all teams that adopted this style of play have never received a single honor.
Even the Spanish national team has never received another honor after the World Cup in 2010 and European Cups in 2010.
This is definitely not an accident.
"The characteristic of this set of pass-and-control style is stability, and it does have certain advantages in the league, but in the Champions League, where tactical targeting is more risky, and Yang Yang is the most familiar with how to restrain Barcelona's style of play."
Butragno sighed, "The high-intensity pressing and pressure brought by the running and covering without hesitation, targeting the full-back and the midfielder and cutting off the key nodes of the opponent's pass and control system, Yang Yang has done almost the best in both aspects tonight."
Needless to say, running coverage and pressing and oppression, the data read out by the commentator just now will definitely blow up the media around the world tomorrow. This is really crazy!
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would have believed that a team could start like this?
The full-back and midfielder who are oppressing the opponent are also clear, and the focus is on Busquets.
Yang Yang looks like he is a replacement for Jovic to start, but in fact, he is different from Jovic. He has no sign of being at the forefront at all. He is more of a retreat, and joins forces with Van der Beck to pinch Busquets and Rakitic.
The three old Barcelona midfielders, Busquets and Rakitic, have weak running ability and are not able to get rid of them. They are prone to make mistakes when pressed and pressed. Vidal has both offense and defense, but cannot control the ball.
So, Ajax's push directly suppressed Barcelona's midfield.
At the beginning of the game, the reason why Barcelona made so many passes and receiving mistakes was precisely because the midfield operation was out of control.
Valverde realized this problem twenty minutes later, so he asked Coutinho to retreat. At this time, Barcelona looked a bit like 442.
Coutinho is not suitable for playing as a left winger, and he is not a Neymar type winger, which leads to his vague tactical positioning in Barcelona. It is not possible to say that his winger is wrong and that he is a front midfielder, because there is a Messi in the frontcourt in Barcelona.
Not only Coutinho, but Dembele is the case.
Ajax is focusing on grabbing the left, which is really aimless.
Yang Yang knew very well that he wanted to stumble Barcelona's left and midfielder, so even if Coutinho retreated and changed to the formation, the attack still did not improve, because Valverde regretfully discovered that Rakitic, Busquets and Coutinho could not play in the midfield, and the back of the full-back Alba seemed active, but the threat was not great.
On the contrary, Vidal, the player with the roughest footwork in Barcelona's midfielder, has the most chances to get the ball, but this is completely inconsistent with Barcelona's concept of passing and controlling the ball.
Obviously, Yang Yang was grabbing the big and letting the small, allowing Vidal and Roberto to get the ball.
So we can see that Messi and Dembele frequently retreated, but in this way, there was no one in Barcelona's frontcourt.
Every time Messi gets the ball, he has to face blockages from at least two lines of defense, which is very fatal!
The Argentine is no longer young. He can break through one line of defense, but if he wants him to break through two lines of defense, isn’t this a problem forcing people to force him?
In the end, the result of the evolution is that when two goals are behind, Barcelona has to control the ball, but they can't attack at all. Occasionally, they can rely on the personal flash of stars such as Messi to create some threats, but there is no highlight on the overall tactical level.
Valverde had no choice but to do anything about this.
"If Cristiano Ronaldo is there, at least there is a point in front of it that can be grabbed, but now..." But now..." Butragno seemed to have seen Barcelona's defeat.
Unless Valverde can make a clever adjustment during the break.
Florentino's attention is different, and he values this group of Ajax's players more.
"Yang Yang trained an amazing team and a group of amazing players." Florentino smiled with his eyes shining, "We lack such a head coach and such a player now!"
Everyone nodded one after another.
Looking at European football, which giant team is not salivating against this group of Ajax players?
As early as before the winter break, Barcelona almost took the lead.
Chapter completed!
