v4 Chapter 1428: Operate Ajax

Name:Super Storm Author:Chen Aiting
Yang Yang flew to Madrid after spending his lunch in Dubai.

In the five hours in the sky, he spent half of his time watching Bayern's two rounds against Arsenal, which gave him a deeper understanding of Bayern Munich under Ancelotti.

The rest of the time, he watched Ajax's two rounds of the UEFA Europa League round of 16 knockouts, which made him think.

In the UEFA Europa League round of 16 elimination, Ajax's opponent is Copenhagen from Denmark.

The first round of the game was away. Center defender Davidson Sanchez accumulated a yellow card suspension. Pete Boss discharged the midfielder combination of teenagers Delricht and Wilhelm. The performance was okay, but the away two goals were lost, the main one is the opening. Just lost the ball.

After all, it's still young and inexperienced.

This game included several teenagers including Derichte, Van der Baker and David Neres.

In the end, Clarkson assisted Dolbert and scored a goal. Although he lost one to two in the end, he scored an away goal.

After returning to home, Davidson Sanchez came back and partnered with Derricht, but midfielder Clarkson accumulated a yellow card suspension. Finally, Neres scored a goal and Dolbel attacked Ajax before the halftime. A penalty was scored, and he also hit the goal frame one time, eventually defeating his opponent 2-0 at home.

The overall score was three to two and advanced to the quarterfinals, which also confirmed Van Gaal's previous guess.

Throughout the two games, plus other games Yang Yang has seen before, he began to think about a very important question, that is, how will the next Ajax continue to move forward?

Reaching the quarter-finals of the Europa League has reached the expectations of Yang Yang and Van Gaal. No matter what the victory or defeat is, it is no longer important, unless it is able to win the championship and securely qualify for a UEFA Champions League group stage. Not very important.

Whether it is Yang Yang or Van Gaal, more consideration is still on the team's next development.

How to improve?

Yang Yang has been thinking about this problem on the plane.

...

After getting off the plane, it was already twenty o'clock in the evening.

Wife Su Ye took baby son Yang Guang to the airport to pick up.

After a lapse of two weeks, the family of three met and inevitably said the whole way.

After returning home, Yang Yang went directly to the study, opened the laptop, and opened a video conference with Van Gaal, who was far away in Amsterdam. The topic is naturally the status of Ajax.

"I watched these two games on the plane. I think there are still some problems with the offense, and there are some deficiencies in the midfield." Yang Yang opened his mind and said his thoughts.

Now the defense is stable, but the problem of offense and midfield is still not small.

Of course, compared with the Debord period, Pete Boss has solved a lot of problems in the frontcourt during his coaching.

Van Gaal agreed with Yang Yang ’s judgment, “Young players have played a lot in these two games, and lack of experience, otherwise, the away game should be a draw and more goals can be scored at home.”

"I think it's still necessary to go deeper." Yang Yang said solemnly.

Young players must be a factor, and this is the price to pay for training young players, but Yang Yang feels that Ajax ’s problem is a long-standing one, and it can even be said to be entrenched and requires deeper changes.

"Just listen." Van Gaal said with interest.

Yang Yang picked up the paper and pen, drew the Ajax formation on the desk, and finally circled the position of Dolbel, and put the paper in front of the camera so that Van Gaal could see clearly. .

"Dolbert played well this season." Van Gaal commented.

Dolbert is only 19 years old and is a typical Nordic center. He is tall and strong, and he has good skills under his feet. He quickly became popular this season. He scored twice against Roda Jc and Zwolle, against Nai. Mei Heng staged a hat-trick, which was further valued by the media and fans.

Many people say that he is like Ibrahimovic and Bentner, especially the Danish compatriot Bentner.

"What I want to say is that in the past four years, in the traditional tactics of Ajax's four, three, three, high center has always been very important, from Van Basten to Kluivert to Ibrahimovic. Rahimovic, and later Huntelaar, in recent years also had Hossen and Sig Susson, now Dolbert. "

Van Gaal nodded, he is a personal experience, so he is very aware of the importance of high center in Ajax tactics.

"But, Louis, you know, European football is completely different now, and Ajax doesn't have the chips of the past. Especially when it comes to the European arena, we must pay more attention to defense than ever before."

Yang Yang's remarks just fell, and Van Gaal, who was opposite the video, was obviously stunned. Then he showed a sudden enlightenment, because he knew the meaning of Yang Yang's remarks.

Why is high center important in Ajax tactics?

Why did Ajax buy Bentner, Anastasius and Charles Stasi after the team left Ibrahimovic? Was it blindly building scorers?

Even so, why are all three high centers?

The reason is simple. The high center's four-three-three tactics for Ajax are too important.

Needless to say, the benefits of the high center, Mourinho's use of Drogba during Chelsea is the best evidence.

But the reason why Drogba is top in the world is because he is different.

High school forwards have always had a problem, that is insufficient running ability and narrow coverage.

At that time, the reason why Van Gaal had an enmity with Ibrahimovic, so that the Swedish center has still hated so far, is because he wanted to allow Ibrahimovic to expand the scope of activities.

Ajax has always advocated offensive football, high defense, and suppression of opponents. So having a high center in the frontcourt is very important for Ajax. It can even be said that Ajax's entire tactical focus is Center position in the frontcourt.

Can Ajax's overall strength now reach the European stadium, not to mention those rich teams, even if it is the midstream team of the four major leagues, Ajax may not have a chance of winning. In this case, continue to take Attacking football and pushing the defense forward are very risky.

Then the best result is to make the team balance as much as possible in attacking and defending. It can push forward the high position to force the oppression, retreat and fall to the position, take a compact position to shrink the defense, and then attack the opponent through a quick counterattack after the ball is broken.

At this time the problem came, Ajax's high center couldn't play the contraction defense, as if it was impossible to ask Ibrahimovic to run and cover like Drogba anyway.

Therefore, even if Pete Boss chooses to speed up the midfield this season, in fact, Ajax's offense is still bulky and still not light, the problem lies here.

So can we continue to dig deep into high center tactics and stick to the tradition of Ajax?

Obviously, this is no longer in line with the current development trend of European football. As for when it will regain in the future, no one knows.

...

Van Gaal laughed involuntarily after listening to Yang Yang.

"I really feel that I am old now, and my mind has become dull. This technical director is not as good as you."

Yang Yang waved his hands humbly. He thinks it is mainly because he has played in the most leading teams and leagues in European football technology and tactics in recent years, whether it is Barcelona or Real Madrid. The leader of the stock wave, so he naturally understands this trend better than others.

"If you want to, then we will take the team's tactical center of gravity from the center of the frontcourt back to the midfield, I believe this can further stimulate the vitality of the frontcourt, but in this way, Dolbel's The situation is awkward. "

Ajax ’s high position pressure is very important to the high center, but if it is to shrink the defense, then the frontcourt players need to run more, the team needs to pass and catch the ball quickly, especially when countering, but faster, but Dolbert could not meet this requirement, and even in the current Ajax team, no player can meet this requirement.

It can be said that this transformation for Ajax cannot be done overnight, especially now that the transfer period is over and Ajax is at a crucial stage of the season, so this matter is only Yang Yang and Van Gaal. At most, it is for the technical team to come up with a discussion, and it will not be spread to the outside world.

Nowadays, the most important task of Ajax is the Dutch side to fight against Feyenoord. The quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup face Schalke 04 of the Bundesliga. These two fronts are now the top priority.

What's more, Yang Yang provided only a way of thinking, which is still very rough. As for how to improve it next, this is the work of Van Gaal and the technical team.

But one thing is for sure, finding the stubborn disease is much easier to solve.

…………

After the two-week national team game day, Real Madrid ushered in the 29th round of La Liga, sitting at home against Alaves.

With the goals of Suarez, Isco and Nacho, Real Madrid defeated their opponents three to zero at home, Yang Yang came off the bench in the second half, contributed an assist, and did not do his best.

...

In the middle of the week, Real Madrid challenged Leganes in the 30th round of La Liga.

Morata was awe-inspiring in this game and staged a hat-trick. De Braun scored one shot and finally Real Madrid defeated their opponents four to two away and scored three more points.

This time Yang Yang was still on the bench.

...

On the weekend, in the 31st round of La Liga, Real Madrid ushered in the Madrid derby.

Affected by the Champions League quarter-finals knockout game in the middle of the week, both teams obviously did not take this game too seriously, because the outcome is not related to the overall situation of La Liga, and Real Madrid's championship is basically a matter of determination.

So, in the end, the Madrid duo shook hands at the Bernabeu Stadium one by one.

Yang Yang kicked for 60 minutes and scored a goal. Atletico Madrid equalized in the final half of the second half.

On the contrary, Barcelona won the match in the first two games, losing to Malaga 0-2 in this round and losing again.

Obviously, the top three are all leaving the next eight for the Champions League.

Real Madrid, in particular, faced Bayern Munich led by Ancelotti.
