striker cool brother

After taking the lead, Heynckes showed a gratified smile and said to the assistant coach: "Willie, do you know why I sent Leitona to play?"

Sagnol shook his head.

In terms of speed, Koeman is obviously better.

When it comes to technology, the two are evenly divided, but Koeman's left and right feet are more balanced.

So no matter which aspect, Koeman should start.

Looking at the puzzled eyes of his colleagues, Heynckes explained: "Ajax's counter-attack is very active. They would rather foul than let the opponent advance effectively."

"Although Koeman is fast, he is poor in physical confrontation and his defensive awareness is not as good as that of Leitona. If it was him in the attack just now, he would definitely fall to the ground when he confronted the opponent's defender."

"Although we will get a chance to set the ball, the threat is far less direct than the counterattack!"

Sagnor suddenly remembered it in his heart.

Ten Hag shook his hands angrily on the sidelines, dissatisfied with the conceded goal just now.

Why can Leitona pass two defenders?
Why did De Ligt clearly give instructions, and Vobel failed to make up the defense in time?

All this is because Bayern's offensive rhythm is very fast, and the players' ability to handle the ball is excellent.

Rossi's shot in the penalty area, from stopping the ball to shooting, took less than a second to adjust. The sense of the ball and the ability to seize opportunities are really too strong.

Ajax fell behind at home and became more aggressive after kick-off.

Because Blind was marked to death by Vidal, Ajax was restricted in transferring the ball, and the offense was compressed to one side and could not advance.

Ten Hag made adjustments in time and let De Jong be responsible for transferring the ball.

Heynckes also made targeted changes, allowing Kimmich to keep an eye on De Jong.

The two midfielders of the two sides were playing games with each other, and it was inextricably linked for a while.

Ten Hag's tactics are to combine the characteristics of Dutch and German football into the characteristics of tight pressing, short pass penetration, high-frequency cross-positioning and transfer using the width of the pitch.

Looking at the whole of Europe, it is a relatively new and mainstream style of play.

But for such a tactic to run smoothly, the team needs to have at least two composite players with multiple positional capabilities.

Blind and De Jong are the key players in Ten Hag's tactics.

But Heynckes, who has a sharp vision, has already figured out the opponent's tactics, so he arranged a targeted defensive strategy very early.

And Heynckes dared to announce the starting lineup in advance, precisely because he also has many composite players in his hands, who can adjust in time during the game.

In terms of on-the-spot command, assistant coach Sagnol is still on fire.

Gradually, Ten Hag also found that his tactics were being targeted everywhere. After a little contemplation, he gave up the ball transfer tactic and concentrated his forces on the side to seek a breakthrough.

But he did not completely give up the transfer, but let Blind and De Jong stand back and forth, forming a diamond-shaped passing area with the wing.

In this area, Blind and De Jong can not only cooperate with short passes, but also form two transfer lines in front and back, making the offense more layered.

In the 20th minute, Ajax made continuous kicks from the side to cooperate, and after constantly attracting Bayern's defense, De Jong put the ball straight into the penalty area.

Van der Beek used almost the same scoring method as Rossi. After going straight into the penalty area against offside, he swept the ball to the goal without a shot angle.

Neuer fell to the ground to intercept, but the ball was very fast, and it passed under his armpit and went straight to the back point.

As Bayern's defense was drawn to one side, the defense on the weak side was relatively empty. Center Tadic seized the opportunity and scored an empty goal from the back point.

Deafening cheers erupted from the Cruyff Stadium.

[Goal, Ajax scored! 】

[Who said there are only Arsenal and Barcelona in beautiful football! 】

[In the Netherlands, Ajax endorses beautiful football! 】

[Before scoring a goal, Ajax players had at least seven or eight one-kick passes! 】

[In the end, it was Tadic who passed the ball into the goal. 】

[The score becomes 1:1! 】

Ten Hag, who is a tough guy, his football is not rude at all, but rough and subtle.

After scoring the goal, the annoyance that had been hanging on his face relaxed. After applauding, he put his hands in his pockets and sat in the rest area.

This is his Ajax.

With De Jong and Blind, you have depth and width at the same time, and you can pass it as you want.

After losing the ball, Heynckes yelled loudly on the sidelines, asking the players to step up their running and form a close press to interfere with Ajax's pass.

There is no other good way to deal with such a team with short passes and quick movements, which is to be more able to run than them.

The offensive rhythm in the first half has been at a high speed. The two teams launched offensive football, attacking wave after wave, which attracted screams from the fans.

Time also passed in such a fast pace, until the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

The Bayern players who returned to the locker room were sweating, and hurriedly wiped off their sweat and changed their clothes to replenish water.

Before entering the winter break, the players' physical reserves have reached their limit, and their bodies are more tired than usual.

Bayern will also participate in the Club World Cup in a few days, which is a severe test for their physical fitness.

Ten Hag's tactical thinking is relatively leading among young coaches today.

However, the player's personal ability and his own on-the-spot adjustments limit his performance to a certain extent.

Therefore, Heynckes did not have too many tactical arrangements in the midfield, but let the players rest and continue to run in the second half.

Soon, the second half of the game began.

Ajax kicks off.

I saw that the Bayern players immediately moved towards the opponent's half court and pressed wildly.

Ajax is not to be outdone, the full-back mentions the midfielder, and the two midfielders appear between the center and the winger. The entire formation forms a huge inverted triangle.

The lower back is protected by dragging and responding.

The two full-backs are tucked in on both sides of the midfielder for protection.

The full-back is responsible for contacting the winger and the front midfielder forward.

Under this tactical system, every outside player with the ball can have at least 2 receiving points when he sends the ball to the inside, and can carry out skillful passing cooperation.

It was only then that Bayern assistant coach Sagnol discovered how important the retreat defense of the full-back is under the opponent's tactics.

No wonder Heynckes not only sent Leitona to the starting lineup, but also pushed Rossi to the forward position, allowing Muller, who has a better defense, to come to the wing, just to start an offensive and defensive battle with Ajax.

And Rossi is at the front end, more capable of threatening the goal.

The two sides continued to fight at a fast pace, and the scene gradually became hot. The referee began to play cards frequently to maintain discipline on the court.

In just 15 minutes, the referee showed a total of three yellow cards.

The negative effect brought by the fast pace is that the players consume too much physical energy.

In the 65th minute, Thiago replaced Rafinha and Kimmich returned to right back.

Subsequently, Ten Hag also replaced Van der Beek with Dolbeek, and Huntelaar replaced Neres.

The coaches of both sides understand that after the fast-paced and high-intensity confrontation, the real competition will start after the 70th minute.

Most likely, it will be a goal war.
