Chapter 189 Single Knife Again
At the end of the first half of the game, Feyenoord's fans were still unwilling. They had the upper hand. What was missing was a goal. But at this time, the game was over, which made every fan's heart itchy. They couldn't wait to call the two teams to continue playing.
Commentator Evans also felt sorry for Feyenoord: "I bet that if there are five more minutes in the first half, Feyenoord will definitely break through the Forests' goal. This halftime saved Alkmaar. After 15 minutes, who knows what they will look like."
As long as you hold on for a few more minutes, Feyenoord will definitely break through Alkmaar's door, but this is just a fan-level idea. Ben Hack doesn't think so. If he also thinks so, he will not become a world-renowned coach.
In the last 15 minutes of the first half, Feyenoord did have the upper hand, but this upper hand is not strong enough to break the goal. Alkmaar's defense is very layered and tight. The two backs protect the back line well, and the defense of the back line is also in place. Under double safety, his own shot Basically, it is carried out in a state of interference. It is reasonable not to score the goal. Goal is luck.
Ben Hack made tactical adjustments to the game in the locker room. The opponent's strongest defensive place is in the middle. Ben Hack is not ready to work in the strongest place of the opponent. He still put his hope on the side, let both sides fly, break through and shoot on the side.
If the two backs go to the side to defend, and the defense of the middle is empty, take the opportunity to hit the middle. If the two backs defend the middle, try their best to start from the side.
The main thing to grasp in this tactic is the timing. Only when the speed of passing and receiving the ball is improved can it be possible to seize the change of the opponent's defensive player's position and create a gap in an instant.
"To deal with intensive defense, in addition to being fierce, it is also fast, because the opponent gives you small space for passing, dripping and shooting. You must complete the above actions with the shortest action, so that we can find gaps in the opponent's intensive defense and break through the opponent's goal."
After Ben Hack emphasized the speed, he also emphasized the positioning ball. When breaking the intensive defense, the positioning ball plays a very important role. In the first half, Feyenoord had a lot of positioning balls, but he failed under the opponent's strict defense. This time, Ben Hack pointed out that the positioning ball should not be old-fashioned. The opponent is very good at defending this conventional free kick. They must be innovative, just like the free kick of Van Gastel and Van Watson's goalpost is very good. Several free kicks like that will be very promising to break through Alkmaar's defense.
It should be said that Ben Hack's midfield tactical adjustment is very targeted. Even if the world's largest coach commands here, he can't do much better than him, but it's a pity that Ben Hack met Jiang Mu.
After the start of the second half of the game, Feyenoord's players still wanted to rush over and beat Alkmaar like in the first half.
However, as soon as they rushed through the half, they felt something was wrong, because the opponent did not mean to retreat at all. When they pressed forward, the opponent boldly turned the defense line to the premise and directly put the three forwards on the offside position.
Alkmaar's midfielder also boldly pushed forward, stopping Feyenoord's players near the middle circle and preparing to catch up with Feyenoord in the middle circle.
It turned out that at halftime, Jiang Mu did not let the players continue to defend in the second half, but defended with attack. In Jiang Mu's tactics, it is rare to hold on for 90 minutes. No matter how confident he is in his defense, he will not stick to 90 minutes. In fact, the team that sticks to 90 minutes to win is extremely rare, and it is more a failure.
Seeing this, Ben Huck had a fever on his face, because he did not expect that his opponent would come out to attack when arranging tactics at halftime. He used inertia to think about Jiang Mu, but as a result, Jiang Mu made an earth-shaking change in tactics, which made his arrangement untargeted.
However, Ben Huck is also very happy when he is ashamed. After the opponent attacks, there must be more loopholes in the defense line than in defense. The goal will certainly not be as difficult as in the first half. As long as he does a good job in defense, it is not impossible to level and overtake.
There was a burst of warm applause from the stands. Fans on both sides were very happy to see Feyenoord and Alkmaar starting the attack again. For them, an attack drama in the final was the most perfect.
A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. This Chinese saying also applies to Europe. The young people of Alkmaar are more fierce than Feyenoord. Under the order of Jiang Mu and the stimulation of 200,000 Dutch guilders, these players seem to fight with Feyenoord, completely at the expense of physical strength.
In the first few minutes of the second half, Feyenoord was a little confused. They were not ready to fight against Alkmaar at all. They just thought about how to break through Alkmaar's iron barrel array. As a result, they knew as soon as they came on the court that what they wanted was useless.
The second half of the game was just three minutes, and Altidiore, who had been in excellent condition, took advantage of the opponent's tactical confusion to pass a beautiful straight plug to Tomasson.
Direct pass oblique insertion, the classic middle penetration cooperation, but Altidore's pass was slightly larger. Tomasson had no chance to adjust, so he had to poke the ball with his foot before the goalkeeper Dudock, and the ball hit Dudock's foot and flew out of the bottom line.
There was an exclamation in the stands.
Ben Hack subconsciously covered his head. The attack really scared him. Under the condition that the strength of the two teams is similar, if the ball is scored, the game will basically lose the suspense.
Jiang Mu waved his fist regretfully. Tomasson was definitely a top opportunist, but Alti Dorere was still a little worse than the world-class midfielder. If the ball was passed in place, Dudeck might not have a chance.
The game continued. Feyenoord, who was caught off guard, was shocked. After stabilizing his position, he launched a counterattack. The two sides fought fiercely in the midfield. Since it is the attack, everyone wants to control the ball as much as possible and have more opportunities to attack.
Five minutes later, Van Gobel and Van Watson broke through the defense of Suleiman and Gattuso on the sidelines. Gattuso did not dare to be as fierce as the first half because he had a yellow card on his back. He had some scruples and was forced by Van Goebel with speed.
Van Gobert's cover was used by Van Gobert to shake off Suleiman and cut into the penalty area from the bottom line, forcing Martens to go to make up for the defense.
Van Watson took the opportunity to hit the ball to the top of the arc of the penalty area. Van Gastel volleyed in the air, and the ball hit Van Bommel's leg and refracted. The ball could wipe the post and fly out of the bottom line, while goalkeeper Silva could only look at the ball and sigh.
Jiang Mu saw that Gattuso was a little reserved in defense on the sidelines, which made the opponent gradually save the situation in the control of the midfield. He could not criticize Gattuso, worrying that the straightforward Italian would be sent off too bravely, so it would be more difficult to play later.
Jiang Mu asked Enke to warm up on the sidelines. Five minutes later, Enke replaced Gattuso, who got a yellow card. This is a substitution in the same position. Enke and Gattuso are both defensive players, but Enke also has the ability to make a long shot.
In the 70th minute, Alkmar added a new force.
Enke is not as good as Gattuso in terms of personal ability, but his cooperation with the players in the backcourt is more tacit and plays a role in defense than Gattuso. At the same time, Enke's special function also liberated Van Bomel, so that Van Bomer can better assist Altidore's attack.
However, Feyenoord thought that Enko, a substitute, was a great opportunity for them to open up the situation, and then they launched a more fierce attack from the middle with Cruise as a bridgehead.
Van Gastel broke through with the ball, and the three midfielders, Tininho and Bufer, were desperate and pressed forward together, trying to equalize the score quickly.
Van Gastel shook the slightly irritable Van Bommel with the ball. Van Bommel was so angry that he put a shovel directly behind his back, but Van Gastel started quickly, and Van Bommel shoveled an empty one.
Van Bomel made a mistake in defense, but Jiang Mu was relieved. He just scolded Van Bomel as a fool. He didn't know when his brain was missing. If the tackle in the back just now was shoveled, Van Bomel would definitely be sent off. In the case of the opponent's big attack, it would be fatal to be sent off. .
After Van Gastel shook Van Bommel, the rise of the kill did not pass the ball to Cruise, who was waiting for the ammunition, but continued to charge forward.
Artidore came up to intercept, but he was an attacking forward with limited defensive ability, and was shaken by Van Gastel again. Although it seems very easy for Van Gastel to pass two people in a row, the ball is rolling faster and faster, and Van Gastel is no longer easy to control.
Enger observed for a long time in the back, and at this time he suddenly grabbed it.
Van Gastel reluctantly changed the direction of the ball and wanted to get rid of Enger.
Enger has been observing for a long time and has not been deceived by Van Gastel's change. He seemed to know in advance where Van Gastel was going to change direction. He followed him almost at the same time and destroyed the ball with one foot.
Defenders Martens and Enger are neighbors. They have been together for at least 20 years. When they grabbed Enger, he put aside Cruz and followed him. Enger stabbed the ball under Van Gastel's foot, and he immediately rushed to control the ball under his feet.
Seeing the ball at the feet of his teammates, Arti Dore immediately waved for the ball.
Martens kicked the ball to Arti Dore without hesitation.
Altedore had long seen the gap left by Feyenoord during the attack. After the ball passed, he immediately passed the ball non-stop, and the ball flew straight to the bridgehead, Warcraft Drogba in front of him.
This is the advantage of Arti Dore. The pass is simply decisive. The ball is gone after a little pause. He chose a very difficult pass. Whether he can pass well or not, at least he passed it. This is Altdore.
Drogba didn't have Artidore's technology and consciousness. He stopped the ball on his chest and observed it before barbling the ball.
However, although Drogba was not conscious enough, his body could completely offset this disadvantage. When he observed, Van Wendron hit him in the back and did not knock him down, making Drogba pass the ball out.
At this time, Tomasson came out of nowhere and rushed to catch up with the ball, forming a single-knife to the meeting.
