Ronald (Coleman), what do you think is our hope of making it to the semifinals against Florence? On the day before the Champions League match, Van Prager came to Coleman’s office and dared the team coach. You know, many people outside are not optimistic about us now, and it is no suspense for Florence to beat us to advance to the first round.
Who is this asshole talking nonsense? The player’s time was a fiery one. Koeman still kept his temper after becoming a head coach. Therefore, after hearing Van Prager’s provocation, the former Dutch international immediately flew into a rage and said, We Ajax will never lose to Florence, a place where we players have the ability to lose to a top club. Don’t worry, Mr. President, I will definitely beat Florence and show those who look down on us who is the real club!
In the eyes of stubborn Coleman, Florence’s rise with the help of a rich boss is just a pure explosion, even if they surpass Ajax in the number of champions League titles.
Seeing Coleman’s blood boiling, Van Prager nodded secretly. He knew that Coleman’s fighting spirit had been successfully picked up by him, and he was no longer worried that the players would not try their best in the game. So he achieved his goal and returned to his office with peace of mind, waiting for the game to come.
So it came to March 36, the first leg match between Florence and Ajax.
At 7 o’clock on the evening of March 26th, the Amsterdam Stadium was packed with people. Nearly 50,000 Ajax fans and thousands of Florence fans from afar filled all the stands, which was almost full.
Don’t say Ajax must have sold more tickets on purpose this time. Noting that the fans were jostling in the stands, Zhuang Ge frowned and muttered discontentedly. Less than 20 years have passed since Heather and Fort Hilts, why can’t they have a long memory and have to sell so many thousands more tickets?
Tony, you’re wrong, Karin solemnly corrected. Unlike Zhuang Ge, who doesn’t pay much attention to the details, she obviously pays more attention to these details. Maybe thousands of tickets are nothing to us, but tickets in secondrate leagues like Ajax account for a large part of their financial income品茶. Ajax, which can guarantee the seating rate and high ticket prices at the same time, will certainly take the opportunity to make a good profit.
Yeah, it’s really a group of guys who don’t care about anything. Capitalists will take risks when they have a 50% profit. It really makes sense for Mr. Marx. After listening to Karin’s explanation, Zhuang Ge thought in his heart.
Chapter 1134 The last glow ()
Although I am very dissatisfied with Ajax’s willingness to relax the security requirements in order to increase the game income, Zhuang Ge also knows that for these backstage clubs with low profit level and no superrich boss, the ticket income is of course more and more. What Zhuang Ge and Karin discussed at Ajax Club for the time being, let’s talk about it here and introduce one or two teams’ starting lineup here.
Ronaldo koeman, the home team Ajax, confidently dispatched the strongest goalkeeper in his hand, Romanian goalkeeper Labant, four defenders from left to right, Maxwell, john obrien, diego lugano and Trabelsi, Czech iron waist Garasek, and South African international pienaar, who formed a pair of backyards. Van der Mede and petri pasanen separated on two wings, which became famous in European football in recent years. The talented midfielder Van der Vaart sat in the front and the striker Ibrahimovic were in charge of the team’s offensive operation.
Koman is still very satisfied with this starting lineup. Although in the past few years, the main players of teams such as Srna, Corini and Haselink have been lured by the outside world to leave the team, Ajax’s strength has been greatly damaged. Van Prager also interrupted the communication with Viola players because he did not want the team to be a pawn in Florence, but he worked hard to build the scout and focus on building the satellite club, but he still gave Ajax a lot of good seedlings. pienaar, the representative of Ajax, was one of the best.
Look at Florence. Because of the usual cautious attitude, Heynckes naturally dare not neglect in this game. After all, none of the strong teams can reach the Champions League, and so can Ajax, the main young player. If Heynckes and Florence players are not careful, they will be defeated by this young guard, Red Wolf Rome, as a lesson.
Goalkeeper Buffon leftback Roberto Carlos rightback Zambrottasta and Stam partnered with central defender Makelele to defend the defensive line with single back and Pirlo and Ballack in the center to control the rhythm of the team’s game. Vincent Wakuri took on the side attack and his teammates pulled the work in the middle, while vieri defeated the Ajax defensive line and turned the ball sent by his teammates behind him into a goal.
Judging from the starting lineup of the two teams, Florence is suspected to have an absolute advantage in book strength. vieri and Starr are at the peak of their personal careers. Of course, Ajax is not without a chance to win. Although these players are not as famous as the 95 th generation, they are all very solid and have top football talents. Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart are also enough to bring great trouble to Florence’s defense.
After the game, Ajax, who took the lead in the ball, stormed the goal of Florence by taking advantage of the home court. In van der Vaart and Ibrahimovic, Maxwell and Van der Med were dispatched to attack from the side frequently, trying to break through Zambrotta and Carlos to disperse Florence’s defensive force in the middle, thus creating more play for Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart’s attack combination.
By the way, the Ajax offensive should be completed by Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart, mainly because Van der Vaart has not yet transformed into an organizing midfielder during this period. He has played every position in the middle and front court under Coleman’s teaching, and he has a very strong desire to attack. This can be seen from the fact that he scored as many as one league goal last season. When Van der Vaart is not mature, Ibrahimovic has excellent footwork and ballmaking consciousness, and naturally he has to undertake more organizing work.
Of course, although Coman arranged Ajax to build a good offensive body, with the growth of Van der Vaart and Ibrahimovic, the two men fought fiercely for the position of the team, and Ajax lost hope of revival because of their struggle, and finally had to send them away under various pressures in exchange for the stability and necessary operating funds in the locker room. This is another story.
Although they will later turn against each other because of the status and ball problems, Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart are still sharing the core position in their honeymoon period. Their technical styles are very complementary, but their own scores can also assist teammates, which has caused great defensive pressure to the wellknown Stasta and Stam.
Holy cow, how can this Swede have such delicate footwork? Although Heinks emphasized in the prematch meeting that the Swedish striker named Ibrahimovic has a strong body and a midfield skill that is not inferior to the top technology, Stam didn’t take these words seriously. In the eyes of the Dutch, it is absolutely impossible for a striker who is 1.95 meters tall and weighs 95 kilograms to have dribbling skills comparable to Rui Costa and Figo.
The best example is that vieri, the number one center in international football, plays with Stam. Although his skill and ballmaking ability have been greatly improved in Mu Runsten and moniz, he is obviously not in the same class as Lei Dongduo and Pirlo. Stam naturally won’t recognize Ibrahimovic’s greatness.
So with this mentality, Stam had a bad luck after the game. Some underestimating Dutch iron guards were swayed by Ibrahimovic’s skillful dribbling in previous encounters, and almost gave Ajax a penalty in the penalty area. It can be said that it was a fool.
Although Stam’s attack in Ibrahimovic was full of loopholes, Starr didn’t go there to help with the defense. After all, he was in charge of defending Van der Vaart, and it was not easy to deal with the main player. An oversight was likely to give the opponent a singlehanded goal, and Stam was almost blown off by Ibrahimovic, mainly because he underestimated the opponent’s playing style and found a countermeasure. It was only a matter of time.
Starr is still very confident about this partner’s selfadjustment ability. If he is devastated in the game because of this setback, Stamgen can’t wear a Florence jersey, let alone put Lala and them on the bench.
Sure enough, with the passage of time, Stam showed a targeted defense against Ibrahimovic, and Ballack and Makelele also consciously cut off Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart from joining their teammates behind them to limit the power of this offensive combination.
In this way, relying on the tight defense and strong midfield interception ability, Stam and Starr led the Florentine defense to resist the home team’s repeated attacks and ended the halfcourt game by the score.
Chapter 1135 The last glow (in)
Heinks in Florence dressing room stared sullenly at Stam sitting in front of him, calling the latter uncomfortable品茶. I said, boss, don’t be angry, okay? I didn’t just underestimate some at that moment. Please leave me alone this time, okay? I promise I won’t make this mistake again …
How dare you say this! Stam’s words successfully ignited Heinx’s anger. The German coach stared at the Dutchman who was much taller than himself and said savagely, Did I emphasize to you that the other side was special at yesterday’s prematch meeting? How did you promise me at that time?
Ha ha ha ….. In the face of Heinx foaming at the mouth and questioning Stam, while doing a quick laugh, it is very likely that he will move back to the other side to make a more radical move. Boss, I have realized that I made a mistake, but fortunately, I will spare me this one without causing any serious consequences, okay? I promise I will never make this mistake again …
oh? You mean you will make other mistakes later? I’m in a bad mood when I heard Stam say this. Heinks naturally won’t let go of the opportunity to chase after Ibrahimovic. Now think about the foul you made on Ibrahimovic in the penalty area at halftime. If the referee’s penalty scale is a little stricter, I’m afraid we are already behind the score.
Er … didn’t this happen in the end? Stam was sweated by Heinks, and he also knew that the foul on Ibrahimovic at halftime was really rash. So, boss, you’d better tell us about the halftime tactics quickly, and don’t wave all the time on me.
Seeing that Stam was angry, Heinx sprayed a dog’s blood on his head. Starr and others dared not speak at this time for fear of accidentally setting fire to make the other party angry at themselves. At this time, they all played soy sauce and waited for Heinx to reprimand Stam so as to get down to business.
Yeah, you’re lucky. Realizing that it’s really not the time of the wave, Heinks left his pie mouth and arranged the team’s tactics at halftime. Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart’s offensive combination is indeed more powerful, but most of their offensives actually come from the breakthrough of the two wings, Rudovic (Kuli), Vincent and Robert (Carlos) and gianluca (Zambrotta). You must be more determined to attack at halftime to suppress Ajax’s flank offensive!
After getting a positive reply from Vincent and others, Heynckes went on to say, Andrea (Pirlo) and Michelle (Barak) should pay more attention to the midfield interception. The combination of pienaar and Garasek is stronger than the offensive ability, and the organizational ability is even better than that. After they get the ball, they often put the ball on the wing. At that time, it will be your turn to show their talents.
Obviously, Heinx didn’t get carried away by Stam’s incident, but also calmly analyzed the weakness of Ajax, that is, apart from Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart in the frontcourt, Ajax didn’t have a player who was outstanding in personal skills in the middle and backcourt!
This means that once Ajax encounters highintensity defense in the middle and backcourt, players can get rid of the opponent’s rush through the ball, and it is difficult to solve the problem through personal ability.
This is also the dilemma faced by Dutch football in recent years. michels overemphasized the running position and teamwork, ignoring the development and training of technology, which led to a new generation of Dutch players being much rougher in technology than their predecessors. No problem, boss, just watch it! Seeing that Heinx’s eyes moved to his side, Pirlo and Ballack rushed to show their loyalty to the head coach, except for carving a word I am obedient on their foreheads.
All right, I’ve said it. Now Yap, let’s talk about your problem. Heynckes grinned and turned his eyes back to Stam. The Dutch looked at him and several good buddies such as vieri and Starr looked at Stam for help, posing as a dead friend and being original.
So Stam was scolded by Heinks for more than ten minutes after the halfgame. He showed an extremely strong desire to fight. Frequent grabbing and tight personal defense made him feel very uncomfortable against Ibrahimovic and had to retreat to a more backward position to catch the ball and organize the attack.
