Chapter 110 The Power of Warcraft

Ajax's attack is fast and fierce, but Alkmaar's players are not panicked, because they have seen too much of this play. The whole Netherlands plays like this. During this period, the players have also repeatedly watched and studied Ajax's classic play.

After the players accepted the tactics that have never been seen before, such as the winger's inner cut, full-back assist, cross-position, and center roaming, Ajax's attack is too simple for Alkmaar's players. Although Ajax's pass is fast, skillful, and threatening, Alkmaar has After targeted research, it is no longer difficult to cope with it.

The game played for ten minutes. In these ten minutes, Ajax made four breakthroughs from the side. In six passes, from the perspective of Ajax fans, Alkmaar's side defense basically fell, and the left and right side almost did not block Ajax's cross, but the players who grabbed the point in the middle were not enough, such as If it were a powerful striker like Cruyvit, Alkmaar had already conceded the ball.

However, from the perspective of some high-level fans and professionals, Alkmaar concentrated on the key position in the middle of the penalty area, relaxed the control of the side, and made full use of the length and width of the court, so that the ball and player activity area were mainly concentrated at the front of the penalty area.

Ajax head coach Olson is known as a wise man. Of course, he will not see Jiang Mu's ideas and practices, but Olson can't understand football ten years later. His thinking is limited, thinking that as long as the team keeps breaking through and passing on the side, the players in the middle will eventually find a goal. Law, and as long as the goal is in the lead, the opponent's extremely conservative 451 lineup will not last.

Olson was very calm, and his buttocks didn't even get up. He looked like an old god and confident.

Jiang Mu was also calm. He wore a sports suit similar to the Alkmaar jersey and stood on the sidelines with his hands behind his back. Even if the team encountered a troublesome attack, Jiang Mu nodded gently and made a gesture to calm the players, without shouting. Jiang Mu has a thorough understanding of this kind of trouble. It is almost impossible to play against a rich team like Ajax without any trouble. Jiang Mu gave up the scene rationally and was dedicated to the pursuit of good results.

Ten minutes later, Ajax's attack only thundered without rain, did not substantially threaten Alkmaar's gate, and did not shoot a straight goal, which calmed down the Alkmaar player who was still a little nervous at the beginning. The defensive action was more clean and neat, and he launched a counterattack from time to time.

Alkmaar's counterattack is very characteristic. No matter where they get the ball, they will pass the ball directly to the front court to find Drogba, and Drogba does not take the ball, but takes the ball back to the inserted Altidore, Kuite, and sometimes Van Bommel, forming a small team battle between three or four people.

This kind of counterattack is very simple, and there is no difficulty in operation, but the threat is not small, because once this counterattack is completed, it means that the opponent's defense has not returned to the position, so it is easy for Alkmaar to form three or four offensive players to deal with the opponent's three or four defenders.

Three or four offensive players against three or four defenders, and it is clear who is more active.

Frank is responsible for keeping an eye on Drogba. De Boer.

De Boer, who is 1.79 meters tall, is helpless to defend Drogba, who is 1.8 meters tall. Olsen can't use 37-year-old Blind to keep an eye on Drogba, not to mention that the old captain is three centimeters shorter than De Boer.

De Boer is recognized by Ajax. He can not only defend, but also has an outstanding overall view and can control the rhythm of the game. When needed, a long pass like a cruise missile can also help the striker complete the final kill.

All these advantages can't hide the disadvantages of height and weight, but Jiang Mu attacked the height weaknesses of Ajax's two central defenders, exposing the weaknesses of the two central defenders with the simplest and most direct long passes.

Alkmaar's long pass may not be so accurate, but every time it is accurate, it will make Ajax's defense chaotic. The two world-class defenders, De Boer and Brind, are pestering Drogba, but Drogba is like an elephant, extremely strong, can't push down, can't pull, De Boer obviously stands in a good position. As soon as Drogba leaned forward, he squeezed out Debor's position, and Debor did not dare to foul easily, because the referee Temink was too strict, and he was worried that he would get a yellow card.

At 12 minutes of the game, Ajax launched a beautiful offensive from the sideline under the leadership of Laudrup. Blonkamp was shaken on the sideline by Laudrup, and Artidore's shovel was dodged by Laudrup.

Laudrup saw that the effect of the cross was not good and wanted to wipe it into the penalty area from the bottom line, but by this time, Gattuso had arrived. Gattuso stopped Laudrup's way forward. He didn't have a foot and waited for Laudrup to make a move first.

When there is only one direction to move forward, no fake action can work. Laudrup was worried about the defender behind him. When he saw that there was no chance to shoot, he passed the ball to the front of the penalty area, hoping to give Litmaning a chance to shoot.

Laudrup's pass was very accurate, and he passed the ball to the foot of Litmanning in the seam.

Van Bomel has been staring at Litmanning. He wants to dial the ball directly and deceive Van Bomel to shoot again.

Van Bomel was not so easy to cheat. Before the ball passed to Litmanning's feet, Van Bomel's tackle arrived, just in front of Clone Camp on the side.

Clone Camp looked at that there was no one around, smoothed the ball, and directly raised his feet to find Drogba.

Clone Kemp's foot pass is very reliable. Drogba can grab this landing point without moving.

Debord and Brind are both old rivers and lakes. They also saw the landing point of the ball and tried their best to attack Drogba. They wanted to squeeze Drogba's position away, at least to make Drogba's catch the ball less comfortable.

But Drogba was like a big tree firmly stuck on the court, and neither Debor nor Brind let Drogba move half a step. When the ball flew and the three of them jumped up together for the header, Drogba directly hit the two world-class central defenders and shuttled the ball to the side to find Kuit.

"Droba! Oh! Drogba!"

There was a huge burst of laughter and shouting in one corner of the stands.

This is from Alkmaar's fans. They are very satisfied with Drogba's performance. It's not so easy for the two world-class central defenders to make a fool of themselves.

If Drogba's role is to attack the lighthouse and bridgehead, then Kuyt's role is the transmission. He takes the ball and sprints at high speed, attacks behind his opponent, drags Ajax as a whole into the fastest game rhythm, and consumes their physical energy.

In football in the 1990s, the average running distance of a player was only about 8,000 meters, and it was common for midfielders to run 12,000 meters ten years later. In the 1990s, the sprint of players did not account for more than 150% of the total running distance, and the sprint ten years later has risen to 26%. As the diet becomes more and more scientific and the training methods become more and more advanced, the physical fitness of football players will gradually change.

Attrition is also one of Jiang Mu's tactics. Jiang Mu believes that Ajax, whose average physical age is more than 27 years old, can't beat the 22-year-old Alkmaar. In addition to his age, he is more than ten years ahead of other teams in training and diet. His player's body is not as good as that of the current Ajax players. Of.

Kuite's high-speed sprint forced Ajax to move backwards as a whole. They can't let their guard line bear the responsibility of defense alone. All attack and defense is the soul of Ajax.

Kuyt's direct opponent is Denmark's talented defender Tobiason.

Oli Tobiasen was born on August 19, 1975. He became famous in the Heerenveen Club in the Netherlands in the 1996-1997 season. Later, he was called into the team by Ajax head coach Olsen in the 97-98 season. At the age of 21, he became the absolute main force of the giant Ajax in the Danish national team. He is also the main player, squeezing the famous star Hervig to the right-back position. And if he wants to play the central defender, Ripper can only give him a seat. After the 1998 World Cup, FIFA ranked him as the future top 10 superstars in international football with Totti, Owen, Gomez and Riquelme. He was known as the successor of the Lauderup brothers, but he failed to prove his potential because of injury.

Tobiason's self-confidence is very strong. He didn't ask his companions to defend, and he played Kuyt alone.

Kuyt also knows Tobiason's fame and strength. He dares not neglect it. He rushes to the bottom line along the outside line at high speed with the ball. Anyway, his task is not only to pass the ball to form a shot, but also to consume the opponent's physical strength is also one of the tactical goals.

Tobiason didn't know Kuite's sinister intentions. He was firmly stuck in the inside line, did not give Kuite a chance to cut and cross, and let Kuite carry the ball on the outside line.

Kuyt took the ball to the bottom line at high speed, and suddenly stepped on the ball near the bottom line and suddenly stopped, trying to shake Tobiason away.

Tobiason has been defending against Kuyte's move. He followed and stopped his footsteps. After stabilizing his center of gravity, he still stood in front of Kuyt.

Kuit did not shake Tobiason and steadily passed the ball back to full-back Suleiman, who had followed the middle circle.

Suleiman passed the ball directly to the middle to find Altidiore.

Altidore saw that Ajax's defender was around. He did not stop the ball. He rubbed the ball from the middle distance and passed it behind Ajax defender to find Drogba.

Artidore's pass was very mastery, and the timing and strength were well grasped. When Debor and Blind turned around, Drogba had already rushed together with the two of them.

The two central defenders wanted to close the door but did not close it, and Drogba squeezed the door directly.

DePaul and Brind had no choice but to grab Drogba's corners on both sides and pull them back desperately, slowing down Drogba's progress and letting the goalkeeper Van der Sar come out to get the ball.

Drogba was really strong. Both Debord and Brynd went with the yellow card and wanted to keep Drogba, but they were forced to break through by Drogba.

Seeing that Drogba was about to chase the ball to form a single knife to the meeting, the referee Temink's whistle sounded.

Ajax fans, who were so nervous that they were almost out of breath, took a breath, and their heart finally put them in their stomachs.

Alkmaar's fans angrily scolded that the referee was a pig's head. He just fouled and didn't blow. Now Drogba is about to get the ball, but he bragged again. Isn't this bias?

Jiang Muzheng was ecstatic. Suddenly, he heard the whistle sound, waved his fist angrily, and roared at the referee, "Is there such a penalty?"

However, Lin Nazhou on one side was not as angry as Jiang Mu. He said to Jiang Mu, "Calm down. In fact, it's just that the referee's whistle is a little late."

"That's too late. Is it because his size is too big and the nerve conduction is slow?"

Jiang Mu was not so excited when he saw his players. Then he remembered that it was 98 years, and the principle of favorable attack had not been deeply rooted in people's hearts. There was nothing wrong with the referee's judgment like this, and he could only admit his bad luck.
