Chapter 43: Winger's Weak Foot

As the saying goes, a good start is half the battle.

In a football match, this is often the case.

In his previous life, Ye Qiu was deeply impressed by a match, which was a warm-up match between Brazil and China.

At that time, the Brazilian team was a powerful world champion with many stars in the team, while China had just returned from the World Cup in disgrace and was not as strong as Brazil. However, the game ended in a 0:0 draw. What was the reason?

Ye Qiu had thought about this question before. Many people would think that Brazil was unwilling to make great efforts.

This makes sense. Brazil was indeed unwilling to show its true strength in the previous period, but as the situation became more urgent, they also began to try their best, but they could not play their own state and show their strength. Why?

In fact, the answer is very simple, because they were very lazy at the beginning and in the previous period, so that they could not completely control the situation. On the contrary, the Chinese team got into the state more and more, and the defense became more and more solid, and the cooperation became more and more tacit, so that when the Brazilian team wanted to exert their strength, they found that their state was directly suppressed by the Chinese team.

Many fans have an illusion that they seriously misjudge the personal abilities of superstars, so much so that they have an illusion that the star-studded Brazilian team can crush the Chinese team as easily as crushing an ant with just a little effort.

Don't forget the most common saying in football textbooks: football is a game for 11 people.

Whether it is Pele, Cruyff, Maradona, or Ronaldo, the success of all superstars is inseparable from the support of his teammates. If the stars cannot integrate into the whole, if a team cannot be integrated into a whole and is defeated one by one, even Real Madrid, as powerful as the Galaxy Battleship, may lose to the amateur league team.

This is the bloody fact!

Therefore, at the tactical level, to disrupt the opponent's rhythm and prevent the opponent from entering the state, the start is undoubtedly very important.

Therefore, almost all teams must have a well-thought-out and rigorous layout at the start.

The same is true for Ye Qiu's game.

When Van Marwijk saw the starting lineup of Ajax II in this game, he still habitually thought that Ajax II would still stand in the usual position, but when he arranged the lineup and prepared to serve, he was surprised to find that Kuluer, who had played on the right, went to the left, and Van der Vaart, who had played on the left, went to the right.

"What's going on?" Van Marwijk frowned.

In Ajax's traditional winger tactics, the real purpose of the winger is to pass the opponent's full-back, bring the ball to the bottom line, pass it into the penalty area, and create opportunities for the center in the penalty area.

The most typical wingers are fast wingers such as Davis, Overmars, Litmanen and Grunkhal.

Because of these fast wingers with excellent personal abilities, coupled with the strong scorers in the penalty area, Ajax's offensive tactics are often unstoppable, and at their peak they swept across Europe and were invincible.

But in such tactics, the left-footed winger has to be on the left, because he has to pass the ball to the middle and it is convenient to pass past the opponent. The right-footed winger has to be on the right. The same is true.

Van der Vaart has always been on the left winger. He is known as the new Overmars. He is very fast, has very delicate skills, and is very spiritual. Therefore, he has long been known as the most talented successor after Cruyff.

But now, Ye Qiu has arranged him on the right, which makes Van Marwijk a little confused.

"What does he want to do?" Mario Bean didn't understand it very well.

But soon, they all understood!

…………

…………

Van der Vaart is the most traditional winger trained by De Tokmost. He is fast, has excellent technical ability, is very spiritual, and is very sharp in one-on-one situations on the wing. These have made him receive countless praises since he was a child.

But suddenly, Ye Qiu told him to go to the right.

He was confused, because he was a left-footed player and his right foot was not flexible. Why go to the right?

But soon, he understood Ye Qiu's intention, and he no longer hesitated. He even clearly felt that Ye Qiu was pinning the victory or defeat of this game on him.

Turning his head and glancing at Ye Qiu on the sidelines, Van der Vaart nodded, as if to say, don't worry, I won't let you down, and then he calmed down and waited for Huntelaar to pass the ball to Kruul, and then he moved quickly.

"Ajax II, who kicked the ball first, quickly passed the ball back, and Feyenoord began to actively press, with the goal of not letting Ajax II control the ball as they wished."

"The ball came to Kivu's feet, and it was knocked back to De Jong, and De Jong gave it to Sneijder."

As soon as Sneijder got the ball, he didn't let the ball stay at his feet for a moment, and passed it directly to Van der Vaart.

Van der Vaart was followed by Zonza, but he chose to retreat to receive the ball, and then knocked it back to the right sideback Van der Ru.

As soon as Van der Vaart caught the ball, he immediately passed it forward and back to Van der Vaart who had adjusted his position.

This time Van der Vaart stopped the ball steadily and faced Zonsa, making a quick fake move to break through to the right side.

Zonsa knew Van der Vaart and knew that this player's one-on-one ability was one of the best in Ajax II. Therefore, he was more worried that Van der Vaart would break through, so he had to block him. But what he didn't expect was that Van der Vaart didn't even think about passing, but suddenly changed direction and dribbled the ball to the middle.

Cut inside!

Van der Vaart dribbled the ball inside and shook off Zonsa, but he didn't break through the opponent's defense, but dribbled to the middle.

Because he is a left-footed player with an inverse foot, it is more difficult for the defender to defend his dribbling after cutting inside, but more importantly, his vision becomes wider after cutting inside. He can clearly see what is happening in the opponent's 30-meter area. He can see that the opponent's central defender Dehaan is about to leave his position to grab.

Because of the inverse foot, he has more options. He can shoot himself, pass the ball, and dribble back and cross.

More importantly, after Van der Vaart cut inside, Van der Vaart immediately pressed forward and left Zonza on the right, while Huntelaar drew Van Onderen's attention to the left side of the goal. Their purpose was to create space and opportunities for Van der Vaart.

De Haan is coming!

Van der Vaart noticed the aggressive Feyenoord central defender. De Haan seemed determined to win, and then calculated the distance between himself and the opponent in his mind. Because he was dribbling with his left foot, it was very difficult for De Haan to steal the ball.

When De Haan got close, Van der Vaart immediately passed the ball back.

Sneijder appeared not far behind him at the right time and kicked a half-high ball facing the ball head-on.

After the knock back, Van der Vaart immediately slipped past Dehaan like a loach and rushed to the right side of the goal at the fastest speed, while Sneijder's half-high ball just passed Dehaan and fell straight into the penalty area.

Everyone in the stadium, including fans, media, reporters, club officials, and even all the coaching staff members of Feyenoord, stared at this scene in amazement. They couldn't believe that Ajax II had a single attack in the first attack.

Van Marwijk suddenly realized that this was the reason why Ye Qiu arranged Van der Vaart on the right!

Van der Vaart quickly entered the penalty area, turned around, and stopped the ball with his chest. Goalkeeper Dudek didn't dare to attack, but tried his best to block Van der Vaart's shooting angle. Central defender Van Onderen rushed over quickly, but Van der Vaart took a step back after stopping the ball and passed it with his left foot.

Behind the goal, without Van Onderen defending him, Huntelaar, who was unmarked, faced the easy ball and easily swept it into the huge, unguarded goal in front of him with his right foot.

1:0!

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!” The commentator on the scene was so excited that he uttered an extra-long sound, but it seemed that he still felt that it was not enough to vent his excitement.

"Ajax II scored a goal!!!"

"Van der Vaart made a magical pass in the penalty area. Huntelaar did not waste the opportunity created by his teammates. Facing the almost empty goal of Feyenoord, he steadily swept the ball into the opponent's goal, 1:0!!"

"Oh my God, this was the first attack of the game and the first shot of the game, but it formed the first goal of the game, breaking the deadlock on the field. The goal from Ajax II, 1:0!"

"Crazy! Really crazy!"

"This is absolutely It was a goal that stunned everyone. Before the game, everyone thought that Ajax II would have a hard time and would defend desperately, but they didn't expect that in the first attack, in less than 1 minute, it took only 48 seconds to break through Feyenoord's goal. "

After scoring the goal, Huntelaar rushed out of Feyenoord's penalty area as soon as possible, directly passed everyone in the stadium, rushed to the corner flagpole in one breath, knelt on the ground, raised his hands, and accepted the thunderous cheers from more than 10,000 Ajax fans in the stands.

A group of young players including Van der Vaart, Sneijder, De Jong, Van der Russ, and Kruul rushed out of the stadium one by one, surrounded Huntelaar, and celebrated his goal, while Huntelaar hugged Van der Vaart's head and kissed his forehead, obviously thanking him for giving him such a wonderful pass.

This pass was so comfortable that even an amateur player could easily score the goal, let alone Huntelaar. Therefore, it is better to say that most of the credit for this goal came from Van der Vaart rather than Huntelaar.

"We succeeded! We scored a goal!" Ye Qiu also looked very excited and excited.

The winger's reverse foot was often seen in 2013, and it can even be said that fans have heard of it. But in 2000, when the winger had not been reinterpreted, reverse foot was very rare.

Of course, there may be occasional reverse foot winger, but it has definitely not formed a response that has attracted the attention of people in the football world.

"Haha, goal, goal!" Roland was even more excited and ran quickly along the sidelines.

Even a calm man like Rick Link couldn't believe it as he watched the scoreboard on the court change from 0 to 1. Only then did he become truly sure that his team had really scored.

The live TV camera was replaying Van der Vaart's sudden change from the right to cut inwards, and then he hit Sneijder back, turned around and moved forward quickly, and Sneijder immediately hit a half-high ball to Feyenoord's defense. Behind him, he helped Van der Vaart form a single shot.

"This process is the key to this goal!" Cruyff was full of admiration.

"This is definitely a premeditated attack. I am even certain that the Ajax second team must have rehearsed such an attack before the game. It was just the last step. Van der Vaart calmly responded to Van Onderen's actions."

"I don't know how Ye Qiu thought of this, but I am certain that he did it deliberately, and it was indeed a surprise victory. He scored in less than 1 minute. This really shocked everyone. Shocking." Cruyff laughed and praised the Ajax second team.

As he said, he has watched several games of the second team, but almost every game brings something different to him.

Even before this final, he had suspected that the second team of Ajax had almost played all the cards they should play and used all the resources they should use. Everything had been figured out by the opponent. What other weird tricks can Qiu do?

But I didn't expect that there is a really weird trick. As soon as it comes up, without any clues, I will directly score a goal for you and take the lead!

"A very, very wonderful cooperation. Feyenoord's defensive players were like wooden stakes, with no ability to fight back, because this group of players from the Ajax second team really cooperated well. Especially the cooperation between Sneijder and Van der Vaart was just right and great!”

Of course, the players on the court didn't know that they were being praised by the football saint. They were all still immersed in the excitement of scoring goals, and the Ajax fans in the stands were all so excited that they forgot all about it and stood up high. , singing the Ajax fan song loudly, venting the excitement and excitement in his heart.

Van Marwijk walked to the sidelines and clapped his hands vigorously, "It doesn't matter, it was an accident. We still have the whole game. I need to pick myself up and cheer myself up. We also scored a few goals for him and taught him a lesson." them!"

Hearing the shouts from the head coach, Feyenoord's players finally gained some morale.

Losing the ball early is not a bad thing. At least they still have 90 minutes to recover the score.

The referee did not give the Ajax second team much time to celebrate and immediately pulled them back into the stadium. Feyenoord's Cruz and Carew had already reset the ball. Waiting for kick-off.

Ye Qiu also walked to the sidelines, "Well done, guys, we have taken the lead, don't be careless, follow the tactics we arranged before the game, take your time, don't be anxious, be patient, you know? Don't be anxious!!"

Ajax won Maduro in this game. On the one hand, it was because De Jong's performance in the past period was indeed outstanding. Maduro was relatively mediocre. If Ye Qiu wanted to win a midfielder, then Naturally, we must take down Maduro.

When Ajax does not have the ball, Vandrew's position will retreat to the right back, and Heitinga will automatically return to the center. The Ajax second team adopts a 5-back position, and the Ajax second team The team no longer clings to the position as before, but further suppresses the activity areas of Feyenoord players.

Just like this time, Kalu pulled to the right to get the ball. Abidal immediately pressed forward and pressed his body against Kalu, preventing Kalu from easily getting the chance to turn around. Kifu immediately Move to the left to fill the hole left by Abidal's grab, while Heitinga and Van Duin continue to guard the center.

This is to prevent Feyenoord from passing the ball to Cruz. This 190cm tall Argentine center is not a vegetarian. Kifu suffered a big loss from him when he was in the first team. As early as the game When preparing for the game, Ye Qiu had reminded the head coach of his power. Of course, Ye Qiu did not dare to hope that Van Duyen and Kivu could defeat Cruz in high defense.

In this case, reducing the opponent's chances of kicking the ball as much as possible is undoubtedly the best way to defend.

When Carew couldn't turn around with the ball, he had no choice but to hit back.

However, when Feyenoord passed the ball to the center, they couldn't help but find that the defensive focus of the Ajax second team also quickly shifted to the center. Abidal returned to the left back position, Kivu and Fandu. Because he returned to the center, Heitinga's position was further back, while Vandrew stood on the right, with Sneijder and De Jong protecting the defense.

This is still the routine of Rehagel's iconic overall defensive system.

In the end, Feyenoord's attack ended with a helpless long shot from Thomasson, and the ball was transferred to Ajax, goal kick!

"It seems that Feyenoord's first wave of offense did not find a good way to break the defense of Ajax's second team. This time Ye Qiu's defensive arrangement was more proactive, especially when the opponent's ball entered the 30 He dared to take the initiative to attack after the ball was blocked. I guess this is because he placed an extra player in the backcourt and always had a numerical advantage.”

"Especially in the defense of the wing, Feyenoord's wing was not very good to begin with, and their wing attack was curbed, forcing them to move to the middle to attack. In the middle, there were three central defenders, Kivu, Van Duin and Heitinga. The defense in the middle was a gathering of heavy troops, and it was not easy for Feyenoord to break it."

Cruyff now began to understand Ye Qiu's thoughts.

After the start, no matter whether it can score or not, at least some threats should be created to suppress Feyenoord's morale, and then use this active and positive defensive formation to curb Feyenoord's defense, and then seek opportunities to counterattack.

In the final analysis, this guy was still defending and counterattacking, but I'm afraid even he himself didn't expect that he would score a goal directly after the opening, which made him expose his original intention of defending and counterattacking earlier.

"What an interesting kid!"
