Super Storm

After playing Arsenal at home, Ajax ushered in the 23rd round of the Dutch League this weekend.

Ajax challenged Utrecht away.

Utrecht is just south of Amsterdam, very close, but this time many players including Yang Yang and Ibrahimović who participated in the Champions League match in the middle of the week were not included in the list.

Everyone knows that Ajax is preparing for the Champions League. After all, in the Dutch League, Ajax has a seven-point lead and has already seized the opportunity to win the championship. It is fully capable Carry out such a two-line layout.

But to everyone's surprise, the originally expected PSV took the opportunity to close the gap between their points and did not happen. Hiddink's team lost to Roda J at home one to two, the first half He only conceded two goals in less than twenty minutes, and then Hesslink took the face for PSV.

One to two, the home defeat, so that Eindhoven morale plummeted.

In another game played almost simultaneously, Ajax lost to Utrecht 0 to 1 away. Fairmaren played in this game and played well on the back line, but still failed to prevent the team from losing. .

The problem exposed by Ajax is still offensive. Without the two generals Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart, and without Yang Yang's substitute for the gold medal, Ajax's offensive weakness is fully exposed.

Despite losing, after this round of the game, Ajax is still seven points ahead of second place Eindhoven, ahead of third place Alkmaar and fourth place Feyenoord 14 points, still Firmly grasp the initiative to win the championship.

A week later, Dutch League 24 round.

Ajax challenged Valvik away.

Ronald Coleman continued to play with the bench, Anastasius replaced Ibrahimovic again, forming a trident with Scola and Mitea, but the pair of offensive combinations still failed to break The goal of Varvik.

In the end, Ajax retired with a goal from the opponent in the 39th minute.

While the last round of performance was sluggish, the accused Eindhoven ushered in a big outbreak this round.

Hiddink's team scored two goals in the last two minutes of the first half by Bauma and Van Bommel, and two goals in the last four minutes of the second half by Park Ji Sung and Kežman, and finally defeated Utrecht by 4-0 away.

But because Ajax also won this round, the gap between the two teams is still seven points.

Instead, Feyenoord, who drew Heerenveen at home 2-2, started to lag behind Alkmaar in third place.

Two consecutive rounds of the league have arranged replacements and rotations. Ronald Coman ’s mind and Ajax ’s goals are already obvious.

Beating Arsenal three to two at home can only be regarded as a terrible victory, giving Arsenal two away goals, requiring Ajax to make every effort to keep the ball at Highbury Stadium, otherwise it will be difficult to successfully upgrade from the away.

After all, if you want to score two away goals at Highbury Stadium, it's not as easy as going to the sky.

Therefore, defense has become the most important thing for Ajax to visit Highbury Stadium.

In order to better prepare for the second round of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 elimination, Ajax was on the day before the game. After training, he directly flew from Amsterdam to London, and had dinner at the hotel.

After a night of rest, the next morning, I will do simple training in the hotel gym.

In the afternoon, head coach Ronald Coleman gathered everyone in the conference room to hold a pre-match tactical meeting.

Between these two rounds of knockout, Arsenal also played two games, one was the 27th round of the Premier League, Arsenal took Highbury Stadium to kill Charlton 2-1, opening four minutes into two The ball, Pire and Henry scored.

Last weekend, the Arsenal FA Cup quarter-final away against Portsmouth, Henry, Yongberg and Kolo Touré scored consecutive goals in the first half, while Henry and Yongberg scored in the second half. Arsenal broke Portsmouth five to one away.

"Throughout these two games, Arsenal's powerful offensive no longer requires me to say more. Everyone knows clearly, but what I want to remind everyone is to pay attention to the time of scoring."

With the words of Ronald Coleman, the conspicuous Arsenal goal time of two games was played on the screen behind.

"There are two very obvious characteristics. First, the first 20 minutes are very critical, especially at Highbury Stadium. Charlton, Manchester City and Middlesbrough and other Premier League teams have fallen in this season. Within twenty minutes, and after taking the lead, Arsenal did the most to slowly control the game. "

"In the second point, after Arsenal scored, they often took advantage of the chase, struggling, playing Charlton, scoring two goals in the opening second and fourth minutes, playing Portsmouth, the first goal occurred in the twentieth Six minutes, but then in the 44th and 45th minutes, the 50th and 57th minutes, Arsenal scored consecutive goals. "

Ronald Coman said that everyone here was very clear.

This is an extremely terrible opponent. Their offense is like a shark smelling blood. Once caught by them, they are likely to chase and beat them until they break the opponent.

"So, here, I must tell you that the defense in the first 20 minutes is very, very important. The Gunners are a team that is very good at solving the battle in the first 20 minutes. We must be able to hold these two. Ten minutes, and the most important thing is the defense of the two sides and the front of the penalty area. "

That being said, Luther Carroll cut into the next ppt, which is the Arsenal lineup predicted by the coaching staff.

The goalkeeper is Lehman, the back lines are Ashley Cole, Campbell, Colo Toure and Lauren, from left to right in the midfield are Pires, Edu, Vieira and Yongberg, and The double forwards are Henry and Bergkamp.

There are two very obvious differences between the second round and the first round. That is, veteran Bergkamp is back in the lineup. Reyes, who performed poorly in the first round, should be a substitute. After all, Bergkamp is more familiar. Also know more about Ajax.

Another difference is that the left-back Ashley Cole recovered from injury. Krishna performed well in this period, but Ashley Cole is the world's top left-back. His comeback attacked Arsenal on the left. It will be a considerable improvement.

Gilberto Silva has also been healed, but on the one hand, Edu has been in a very good state recently, and on the other hand, for the sake of security, Wenger is unlikely to directly let Brazil back.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Wenger is in danger.

"This piece on the left is terrible. On the one hand we must have speed players to guard Henry, but at the same time we also need to pay attention to Pire and Ashley Cole after the plug, Yongberg and Bogcan on the right. The cooperation between the generals is also extremely tacit, and it is also the place where we must pay attention. "

"But the most important thing is the frontier of our penalty area. The first goal conceded in the first leg was lost in this one. If Edu returns again, Wenger must still want to make a fuss in this one."

Yang Yang sat down and heard the head coach's analysis and nodded silently.

For some time in the past, Ajax has been practicing the four-two-three-one play. This set of formations played well in the first round. The protection of the defensive line and the frontier of the restricted area is also in place with double backs. If necessary In time, you can even directly return the two wing players.

If there are no surprises, Ajax should still use the four-two-three formation as the second round.

Unlike the first round of grabbing the start, the second round starts with stability and requires defense. Yang Yang's defensive ability is more general. Although he can run, the head coach will certainly not waste his physical energy and energy on defense.

In Ajax's lineup, there are more players who are good at defending, but there are few offense players on the right.

There will be no big movements in the back line, Trabelsi is good to defend Henry in the first round, Maxwell will also continue, the strength of the two full-backs Ajax is still very strong, the central defender is still Heitinga and Escud's combination.

The team adopts a double midfielder. That must be Garasek and De Jong. In the frontcourt, Ibrahimovic must be the center. He is also the most threatening Arsenal line in the Ajax team. player of.

But Yang Yang couldn't guess the left and right sides, and the front waist behind the center.

He can only foresee that he will come off the bench again.

Sure enough, Ronald Coman announced the team's lineup after introducing the team's game strategy and coping strategies for unexpected situations in the game.

Basically, it is exactly the same as Yang Yang guessed, but on the left, the coaching staff chose Wesley Sock. The speed of the Belgian forward is still quite threatening, especially when countering.

In the position on the right side, the coaching staff chose Scola. The only thing that surprised Yang Yang was the front waist position. The coaching staff chose Sneijder.

This also means that team captain Van der Vaart will be replaced as Yang Yang.

After listening to the list announced by the coaching staff, many people turned their heads to take a look at Van der Vaart, but found that the expression on the face of the latter did not have the slightest anger or dissatisfaction. Victory is a bit boring, and also makes Yang Yang feel strange.

Did he already know?

Only this explanation is reasonable, otherwise how could he not be angry?

"Finally, I still want to tell you here, no matter what the outcome of this game tomorrow night, I am proud of you, and I always believe that you are a group of outstanding players, each of you Both are pretty good. "

"Our team can go to today and be able to appear in London, which proves your extraordinary, and I sincerely hope that in this final tonight, everyone here can do their best. Work hard, for yourself and for this team, contribute your own strength. "

"The outside is looking down on us now, but I believe from beginning to end that we can retreat from Highbury Stadium."

This mobilization and encouragement from Ronald Coman won a warm applause from the locker room ...
