Super Storm

Yang Yang did not have any disrespect for Ronald Coman, but he really felt that the team's tactics were indeed somewhat conservative, which severely limited the team's attacking power and creativity in the frontcourt.

Ronald Coman is a defensive head coach himself. His best is to catch defense. Tuning offense has not been his strong point. The turning point of the team last season was to win Wesley Pine. K, pushed Pinar to the left, Garasek and De Jong teamed up with double backs.

It can be said that this turn completely changed the direction of Ajax's second half and stabilized the defense.

But when it comes to offense, Ajax has the worst goals of the four strong teams, even worse than Feyenoord.

Yang Yang's own goals and assists combined to occupy half of Ajax, which is unreasonable.

From Yang Yang ’s personal point of view, this is of course very cool, but the characteristic of the professional league is that if you do n’t change, your opponent will change, and you wo n’t be able to, so you have to keep on changing and making progress.

Yaya Touré was also late in the Shakhtar Donetsk metallurgical team. Ronald Coleman valued him and obviously hoped that he could replace the veteran Galasek and double back with De Jong. .

But this Côte d’ Ivoire player is clearly different from Galasek, and the Czech veteran has a good ability to play and organize.

However, Yaya Touré is different. He has greater mobility, greater coverage, speed, good foot skills, strong dribbling propulsion, and the willingness to defend is as strong as his consciousness of forward attack.

In a private chat, he once told Yang Yang that he performed very well when he was training at Arsenal, but Wenger and his team believed that he could not position his role on the field well, thinking he The characteristics are not suitable for Arsenal.

It is not difficult to understand that Arsenal's midfielders are of the type of Vieira and Gilberto Silva, or creative players like Fabregas and Pires, Yaya Touré is obvious Neither is it.

As strong as Vieira, they have to shrink and play at Arsenal, and they can't intervene as often as they want.

With the characteristics of Yaya Touré, it is not surprising that there is no place at Arsenal.

But Yang Yang felt that Ajax's three midfielders could use him and should even give him more tactical freedom.

"Wesley is in front of him, not only to organize and sort out the midfield, but also to pass assists in the frontcourt, and even often withdraw the ball. I think his pressure is too great, especially as the opponents get more and more Value us. "

Yang Yang's analysis was also approved by Sneijder.

"I think Nigel is a reliable midfield delay defender. He not only has a large defense range, but also has a strong confrontation ability. Whether it is interception or stealing, the success rate is very high. 'S passing ability is also very strong. "

All along, the fans' impression of Nigel De Jong is a brave man, and many people even think he is a rough man.

In fact, this is far underestimating him.

Born as an Ajax youth training heir, he was the main player in the Ajax first team at the age of eighteen. This is definitely not simple. Without excellent basic skills and passing skills, it is difficult for him to pass the game. Jax is based.

Among the team's internal data, De Jong's defensive data is not only eye-catching, but his pass success rate exceeds 90%. This in itself is enough to prove that he is a trusted midfielder and backcourt player.

And more importantly, De Jong has been averaged only 0.7 times per game, that is to say, he only needs to lose three times in three games. This data is really looking for in European football. Not many.

Combined with De Rong's characteristics and advantages, Yang Yang believes that as De Rong continues to grow and improve, Ajax should further release the vitality of the midfield, rather than continue to take the previous double-waist play.

"Yaya Toure can play a strong defensive role whether it is placed in the front or the back, but he also has the advantage that his feet are delicate and superior in technology, and can be directly directed from his own hinterland. Before launching the offense, his ability to advance the ball forward was not valued by us. "

"Another point is that his physical fitness is very good. Combined with his footwork, I have noticed a few times. His handling of the ball at the front of the penalty area is very calm and has an advantage."

Ronald Coleman and Luther Carol both knew what Yang Yang meant.

Luther Carroll was even brighter and nodded loudly, "I think it works."

Yang Yang meant to activate the offensive firepower in the midfield.

Yaya Touré is not Galacek, the characteristics of the two are very different, there will be problems with copying the tactical play of last season, but if Yaya Touré is similar to b2b restricted zone to restricted zone In the role of the all-around midfielder, the offense has been solved.

Charles Steas is a high center and has a great deterrent in the penalty area, allowing him to stand at the forefront and suppress the opponent's central defender. Yang Yang has more freedom and launches the offensive on both wings and ribs. Pinal responds to him.

Sneijder is responsible for organizing and taking out the ball, as well as attacking the back. Yaya Touré is responsible for pushing forward from the backcourt and suddenly inserting the attack, plus Maxwell on both wings. And Maicon.

Ajax's offensive problem can indeed be solved very well.

"But what about defense?" Ronald Coman asked frowning.

He is a defensive head coach in the end, this is also his consistent characteristics.

"Our traditional advantage is to fight back on the spot, as long as the players maintain a high degree of overall coordination and tactical discipline, the problem of defense will not be great." Luther Carroll said.

As long as a new idea is reopened, many problems can be solved.

Ajax ’s current frontcourt players, whether it ’s Charles Steas, or Yang Yang and Pinal, have strong tactical execution, and they have been working hard and diligently in the game. Forward pressure, Ajax's ability to counter pressure in the frontcourt will be better than before.

Yaya Touré's physical superiority and defensive ability can further enhance this.

…………

…………

At the end of the symposium, the coaching staff did not clearly indicate what it would do, but Ronald Coman stated that he would try.

And as expected, in the team training the next day, the coaching staff began to use the ideas Yang Yang proposed before in the group confrontation, allowing Yaya Touré to assume more offensive tasks on the bench.

This change really activated the role of Yaya Touré in the midfield, and the Ivorians began to play more threatening.

Several times he drove the ball from the backcourt all the way to the frontcourt, and it all made people shine, and his possession of the ball at the front of the penalty area was indeed very advantageous, and the handling was calm. These all further confirmed Yang Yang's previous views.

The players themselves are also communicating and coordinating each other's interaction and cooperation on the field, especially Yaya Touré and Sneijder.

Everyone knows clearly that Ajax ’s player strength is no problem. Last season he was able to win the championship. This season will only be stronger, because everyone is one year old and one year old.

The question now is whether the team's offense can be played.

After the Amsterdam Invitational, only four days away from the Dutch Super Cup, Ajax did not make enough preparations, so Ronald Coman did not boldly adopt the new style of play suggested by Yang Yang.

As the outpost of the Dutch League, this year's Dutch Super Cup was arranged at the Amsterdam Arena.

League champion Ajax played against Cup champion Eindhoven, and both sides staged the Dutch national derby.

Eindhoven did not make a big sign this summer, but sent away midfielder van Bommel.

The Eindhoven midfielder went to Barcelona as a free transfer and played under Rijkaard.

Van Bommel's departure caused a painful blow to PSV.

In this game, Hiddink arranged for Theo Lucius and Demi Simmons to join veteran Koko to form three midfielders. The frontcourt was a combination of Farfan, Hesselink and Afele.

The platoon formation on Ajax's side is relatively stable.

Ronald Coleman still excluded the trident combination of Pinal, Charles Stellas and Yang Yang in the front field, and the midfield was made by Sneijder, Garasek and De Jong double back midfielder , The back line is Maxwell, Vlar, Heitinga and Maicon partner, the goalkeeper is Stecklenberg.

At the beginning of the game, both sides played very fiercely, especially in the first 20 minutes, Pinar and Afele were continuously warned by yellow cards, which shows that both sides are fighting fiercely with each other, and no one wants to give in.

Ajax is still an old problem. Yang Yang's state has not been adjusted, and he is not excited enough. He is also closely guarded by his opponents, and the offensive end appears a bit sluggish.

Sneijder is alone in the midfield, making it difficult to sustain the situation.

Galacek and De Jong's double midfielder combination guarantees the team's defense, but the previous attack still can't open the situation.

This situation continued throughout the first half.

The two sides ended up tying a zero-to-zero draw, and no one could break through the opponent's goal.

After changing sides in the second half, Eindhoven began to increase his offensive strength, especially on the two wings.

In the fifty-first minute, Afele's forced breakthrough gave Eindhoven a corner kick.

As a result, the central defender Alex flew the header and assisted Bouma to score and scored a goal for PSV.

This made some 50,000 Ajax fans feel dissatisfied.

From the warm-up match, to the Amsterdam Invitational, and now to the Dutch Super Cup, the team seems to have failed to come up with a smooth play style, especially on the offensive end.

Last season, Yang Yang was all alone, but now Yang Yang needs to adjust the state, and it takes some time to activate the state.

Is it possible that without Yang Yang, Ajax would not attack?

Is there no way for the team to help Yang Yang?

The restlessness of the fans came from the stands, and everyone knew that they were already starting to be dissatisfied.

Head coach Ronald Coman also began to realize that the team really needs some changes.

The set from last season won't work this season.
