Chapter 36 036 Civil turmoil after two consecutive defeats
·
Tian Tian Bu Xiu
On the second day after Ajax's defeat in Bruges, Qin Xiong came to the training ground to train as usual, and he unexpectedly discovered that the atmosphere in the reserve team had become weird!
Van Basten's face was serious, which may mean that he was very dissatisfied with the performance of the first team in Belgium last night, and worried about the future of the first team in the Champions League.
But the teammates of the reserve team, Qin Xiong noticed, it seemed that the teammates were not only not depressed by the loss of the first team, but instead, there was a suppressed excitement!
This excitement made them more serious in training, as if injected with stimulants!
After a little thought, Qin Xiong understood.
There is an unwritten law in football circles: successful teams don't change!
The concrete manifestation of success is: winning.
If a team has been winning and has been able to beat the opponents it faces, then why is there any need to change?Victory means that everything in the team is running well. The team composed of 11 starters or three or five substitutes has reached its best state. Whether it is the head coach or others, they should not take the initiative to change, because changes will cause At the risk of undermining this well-functioning system.
It is conceivable that if Ajax's first team keeps winning and winning, then how can these young rookies who have been sent to the reserve team line up in the reserve team to "rebel and usurp the throne" stand out? day?
It is precisely because the first team lost and perhaps needs to change that the players of the reserve team are very excited from the bottom of their hearts!
Maybe this kind of psychology is "negative", and it seems to lack a sense of collective honor.
However, for their roles who are nothing to the Ajax club, to talk about loyalty and collective honor, first of all, if you are an indispensable part of the team, you must play a role in the team. No trivial role, if it is an unknown person who is irrelevant to the team, what kind of loyalty, sense of honor, it is a disease-free ** like a bystander.
After Qin Xiong understood the changes in the mentality of his teammates, he also naturally became excited. Opportunities will not come for no reason. When there is a problem with the first team, like him and his teammates, it seems that a godsend opportunity appeared in front of him. !
With such excitement, during the training, the teammates compete with each other with all their strength. This is a kind of benign competition, which stimulates each other's potential!
......
The Dutch domestic media "International Football" criticized Ajax in a review of the Champions League report published on Thursday: Koeman only triumphantly announced the return of the best Ajax after defeating Waalwijk three days ago. It was just a deceiving illusion. This talented Ajax team encountered the humiliation of Bruges in Belgium. Bruges relied on their home advantage and unprecedented unity to fight. Jax swallowed the bitter fruit of the defeat. Ajax's problems are obvious. Last season's smooth offensive and defensive system no longer exists, and the scene is very chaotic. We are adapting, but Ajax's Champions League journey has already begun. If we can't beat Celta at home in the next game, we can almost announce that Ajax will miss the Champions League round of 16, because in the third round and the fourth round In the back-to-back Champions League group stage, Ajax will face last season's Champions League champion, the mighty AC Milan!
The pressure on Ajax coach Koeman's shoulders is enormous.
The second round of the Dutch Cup will be held in the middle of next week, and all Dutch teams will participate in the battle, so most of the league this week will be concentrated on Saturday.
Ajax only went to Belgium in the middle of the week, and they will play consecutive away games when they return to China.
In the fifth round of the Eredivisie, Ajax visited Breda in the extreme south of the Netherlands.
In the afternoon game, Qin Xiong didn't watch the live TV broadcast. He had to prepare for Sunday's reserve team game, and he was also training with a coach on the court.
The coach will give him a long pass, and then Qin Xiong will try his best to make a perfect stop, running!
Walking back to the locker room to shower at the end of practice, he overheard teammates Ezaias and Dreedle talking in low tones.
"Should I try changing a few players?"
"Who knows what Koeman will think, I heard that the atmosphere in the locker room of the first team is very tense."
"Hehe, whoever loses twice in a row will be angry."
"Hey, I hope Koeman will try to change the lineup. We are not like those in the first team with a comfortable mind. I dare not say anything else. Even if I break my leg in the game, I will do everything!"
"Of course! Hmph, those geniuses in the first team all thought they were superstars because they were blown away by the outside world last season."
......
It was only when Qin Xiong returned to Waddell Street that he learned of the report of the fifth round of the Eredivisie.
Ajax lost 2:4 at the foot of Breda in the away game!
Following the away defeat in the first round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, within four days, Ajax, who had been unbeaten in 6 games in all competitions in the new season, suffered a two-game losing streak!
The outside world is questioning, worrying, and talking about Ajax.
Inside Ajax, in addition to the tense atmosphere in the locker room of the first team and the drop in team morale, head coach Koeman and technical director Van Gaal also had a fierce quarrel in the office!
"Ronald, I know what you're thinking! Indeed, today's Ajax cannot be compared with last season, you need to consider the balance of the team, so you put Van der Vaart back, De Jong is immature, he needs to be more mature. More protection, but now there is a better solution!"
Van Gaal tried hard to get Koeman to accept his proposal.
After losing two games in a row, Coman was upset, and Van Gaal came to point fingers again, which made him even more angry.
"Do you want to talk about that Chinese again? He performed very well in the youth team, but he has no professional experience, and hastily pushed him into the professional arena. Have you considered the risk? Have you considered it? , I will use him, then, who should I abandon? Pinar? Why?"
Van Gaal pointedly said: "Managing a football club is not about taking care of whose emotions? Everything must serve the interests of the team! You have never seen Qin Xiong play football! Open your eyes to see it, and then make a decision after watching it!" I have to remind you that we have no time! No more! When you try to build a new tactical system with van der Vaart retreating into the midfield, and when it takes shape, our Champions League this season will be over!"
"Now I am the head coach of the team, and everyone must listen to me. I know how the team will develop! It's not your turn to give orders!"
"Hehe, we lost to the final champion in the Champions League last season, and we are out with regret. In the new season, the players from last season should be stronger, but now? Anyone with a discerning eye can see what is happening on the court, not the strength of the players. The problem is the technical and tactical system! Indeed, before Qin Xiong appeared, I supported your approach, and the team’s tactical system had to be reformed, but when Qin Xiong appeared, we could not only restore the mature tactical system of last season, but also let the players There is no need to adapt to new changes, and we can still be stronger! Because Qin Xiong is a very good midfield organizer, this is an element of the team that we did not have last season! Now, do you want to look far away? Rona De, think about it for yourself, yes, you are the head coach, everyone should listen to you, but you are also responsible for the honor of Ajax and all Ajax fans!"
Van Gaal slammed the door and left. Sometimes he was so fiery, uttered harsh words, burst out impulsively, and shook the world with anger.
Koeman was in a terrible mood. His two-game losing streak gave him the opportunity to be attacked, and he was at a disadvantage in posture. In addition, Van Gaal was his immediate boss in the past, making him even more difficult to parry in the confrontation .
But after calming down, he thought about Van Gaal's suggestion.
Excluding the power struggle within the club, Van Gaal's vision and professional advice are definitely the first in Ajax!
The quarrel between the two broke out on Sunday morning. The first team only played a game yesterday afternoon. They had a holiday in the morning and would return to training in the afternoon.
And Koeman intends to hand over the restorative training in the afternoon to his assistant. He goes to the reserve team's game field and takes a look at the reserve team league.
Coincidentally, today the Ajax reserve team is playing against their opponents at home, otherwise, Koeman may not have time to go to the away game to watch the game.
Van Basten's face was serious, which may mean that he was very dissatisfied with the performance of the first team in Belgium last night, and worried about the future of the first team in the Champions League.
