This time Manchester United's corner kick failed to score, and there was a slight conflict between players from both sides.
The referee finally gave the ball to Ajax.
"Wesley, we should be able to win, right?"
Van der Vaart asked.
"Idiot, Ajax can't win." Sneijder said with some disgust.
Although both of them became fat after retiring, they joined Ajax at about the same time, and the age difference is only one year.
But Sneijder doesn't like Van der Vaart.
No parents in Europe like Gypsy people, let alone their children being friends with Gypsy people.
However, 12-year-old Van der Vaart didn't care and said, "Maybe when we grow up, we can win."
"Yes, why didn't you say that you can beat Pelé and Beckenbauer when you grow up? Dejan will retire when you grow up." Sneijder said angrily.
"Wesley..."
Sneijder looked at his teammates helplessly, why couldn't he hear the good words?
Ajax on the court is not very relaxed either.
They are missing the soul figure Litmanen.
After Rijkaard retired, the Finn's importance increased a lot.
He is the core organization of Ajax.
Davis took the ball and advanced and was quickly pressed. He subconsciously gave De Boer.
"Our tactics, use new tactics!"
Van Gaal reminded from the sidelines.
Speaking of which, this tactic was inspired by Manchester United.
Just in time to deal with the absence of the core midfielder position.
Seeing this, De Boer chose to take the ball and retreat, returning between the two central defenders. The situation was similar to that of Rijkaard before.
Danny Blinded had a long pass, and the two of them were not afraid of the ball release point at all.
Silooy on the other side is also a midfielder.
Only a team like Ajax can find so many midfielder players to play as defenders.
Dejan Lu rushed to the front line, and Andy Cole saw this and rushed towards Blinded.
Blinded immediately knocks De Boer horizontally.
De Boer was not in a hurry, but controlled the ball and continued to attract Manchester United's press.
Beckham rushed up from the right, and De Boer gave the ball to Wendell.
Wendell was not in a hurry. He teamed up with Bogarde to kick the ball and then took the ball again. A straight ball was passed to the forward George. George immediately went down and knocked it horizontally, but it was blocked by Gary·Neville.
"Today Ajax seems to be more inclined to attack from the wing, Alex."
Brian·Kidd said.
"Yes, they have been widening the field today. Without Litmanen, there will generally be no one in the middle, but the forwards can retreat."
Ferguson held his chin and nodded.
Manchester United has learned a lot from Ajax before.
Excellent coaches in European football will absorb the advantages of their opponents.
The stalemate at the beginning made Ferguson a little uneasy.
Ajax's tactics are too weird and unfamiliar, as if they are a completely different team from last season's Ajax.
Even if the midfielder will retreat, there is still a big difference.
As a mature coach, Ferguson has always believed that the unknown represents danger.
He must try his best to interpret Van Gaal's formation and tactical intentions.
Ajax organized an attack again, this time they chose the other side.
Davis got the ball and passed it to Reiziger. Reiziger sent a cross from the wing. Kluivert and Kanu competed for the top of the penalty area, which put a lot of pressure on Manchester United's defense.
Schmeichel very decisively rushed out of the goal and punched the ball out of the penalty area.
Redondo just caught the ball and immediately passed it with a kick.
The chasing De Boer took off behind Andy Cole and bumped into Andy Cole. The ball bounced off the ground and continued to fly towards the penalty area.
Upon seeing this, Dejan Lu immediately accelerated and rushed forward, leaving Reiziger behind.
As the captain, Blinded is still quite far away from the ball.
Before he could decide whether to run back or go over to block, Dejan Lu had already made a move.
Danny Blinded's eyes widened.
A terrible thought came to mind.
So far away, are you really coming?
But Dejan Lu's actions have already come out.
Bang——
Dejan Lu, who rushed behind the ball, twisted around and swung out his right foot.
The collision between the sneakers and the ball produced a loud sound.
Van der Sar, who was standing behind the penalty area line, retreated all the way, but after taking only two steps, the Dutch goalkeeper couldn't help but curse in his heart.
The arc of the ball has changed!
The moment Dejan Lu took it out, the ball flew towards the left corner flag area, but just one second later, the ball flew to the right in an even more exaggerated arc.
Such a change caused serious trouble to him. Van der Sar, who retreated, simply stood still and waited, seizing an opportunity.
Coming!
Only when you stand in front of the goal do you realize how annoying such a ball is.
Whether horizontally or vertically, there are changes.
Van der Sar saw the right moment and jumped sideways and stretched out his left hand, but the height was not high enough, so he could only watch the ball fly past his hand. Before he even landed, he heard the rustle of the ball rubbing against the fans behind him.
The ball went in!!!
Boom——
Another long shot from 40 meters away.
Dejan Lu showed his talent unscrupulously in this stadium where countless great players were born and Cruyff became famous.
Even he was very excited to score such a goal. He reached out and took off his shirt and roared at the stands.
His strong upper body still surprised many fans.
Unexpectedly, he has a lot of muscles, and he always feels a little thin hidden under his clothes.
Amsterdam Arena fell into silence.
Even though they were prepared, the proud Ajax fans couldn't help but feel sad.
Why?
Why?
They are the best team in the Netherlands.
Dutch players are the most skilled players in the world!
In Premier League, Blackburn can also have Shearer. In Serie A, Udinese can also introduce Zico.
But in the Netherlands, players of that level can only belong to a few wealthy clubs.
If you kick him out, he will be poached immediately.
Ajax is not the one poaching the most people, but it is the most attractive.
Sometimes they don't poach people just because their youth teams have better players.
Ajax's youth training camp has already poached the most talented batch of children before they reach adulthood.
But when such a team faced Manchester United, they had two consecutive groups of players and changed tactics, and still had no chance of winning.
Even Holland's commentator was silent.
Their most proud talent, Ajax's talented players, are not worth mentioning in front of Dejan Lu.
The Ajax youth team players in the stands will not witness a victory.
After a short silence.
Van Gaal still shouted to the field, "Don't press the defense line, don't forget our tactics!"
This tactic was not just prepared.
It's a mature tactic.
Eredivisie There are also many teams that like to play high positions. After all, this is an offense-oriented league.
This tactic has a very good effect against high positions, and Manchester United is one of the teams in high positions.
Blinded listened to the coach's instructions and conveyed his intentions to his teammates.
Normally, Ajax's strength would overwhelm them, and the defense would move forward unconsciously.
This time Dejan Lu scored a long shot from 40 meters away mainly because the backcourt was too empty, so he was given the opportunity directly.
Players from both sides returned to the center circle.
The three forwards all played in the Champions League last year, and they always feel that this scene seems familiar.
Kluivert I wanted to go to Serie A before.
But when you think about the Serie A teams that have lost so many times to Dejan Lu, I guess there won't be much development.
After the kick-off, he was given to the right wing.
Kanu Although he is 1.9 meters tall, he is very flexible under his feet.
Andy Cole's symbolic press was easily avoided by him pulling the ball.
Dejan Lu has no intention of pressing at all.
His tactical position was originally there, but today he is still in the forward position, and his role will be greater going forward.
However, Ajax's attack is not fast either.
They once again put the ball in the backcourt and started organizing.
Oh shit.
Dejan Lu I always feel that this tactic is a bit familiar.
Blinded immediately gave the ball to De Boer.
De Boer moved his right foot to avoid Dejan Lu and moved to the right.
When Bogarde tried to pass forward, Beckham pressed forward.
The full-back immediately gave the ball to De Boer, and De Boer took advantage of the situation and kicked it to Davis.
Davis was like a wild boar with an arrow, running towards the Manchester United half with the ball.
Butt's confrontational ability obviously couldn't restrain this warrior, and Redondo was forced to go over to defend.
There was just a little space in the middle, and Davis passed the ball.
Kanu took the ball and dribbled it horizontally and then knocked it horizontally. Kluivert hit the ball directly behind David Mei without stopping.
Schmeichel's attack was very decisive. He rushed out and punched the ball out of the penalty area, but the ball's placement was not very good. Kanu didn't even need to move and kicked the ball into the empty goal.
In the 17th minute of the first half, the home team once again brought the scores back to the same starting line.
Amsterdam Arena, which had been silent for a long time, started shouting excitedly like an erupting volcano.
"Nwanke!"
"Nwanke!"
"Nwanke!"
Nwanke·Kanu became today's hero.
The Ajax youth team players in the stands were also cheering.
Although they are only in their early 10s, they have joined the Ajax youth training camp for at least two years, and they still have feelings for Ajax.
If possible, they certainly hope the first team can win.
"We're going to win, right, Wesley?"
Van der Vaart asked.
"No." Sneijder said.
"You lied to me on purpose, right?" Van der Vaart asked, "I know, the coach said you are a soft-spoken person, but you are deliberately trying to arouse my fighting spirit, right?"
"Damn..."
Sneijder couldn't help it and cursed.
Don't let him know which coach said that.
Rijkaard in the stands was smiling and clapping.
But he still had some regrets.
It would be better if he can play like this when he is here.
He wants Ajax to win, not because of his old club or anything, he just wants Dejan Lu to lose.
But Ajax winning will also bring a problem.
Winning is not scary, but missing someone is embarrassing.
He had been talking to the newspaper before the game.
If Ajax wins, the media will definitely say that he retired to revive Ajax, which means he delayed Ajax.
The thought of this.
Rijkaard stopped clapping, not expecting his old club to win.
"The coach's tactics are not bad!"
Silooy shouted.
Danny Blinded nodded vigorously.
Don't worry about it, it's a good thing anyway.
Only when teammates believe in the coach will the team be able to execute.
Looking at his teammates celebrating wildly, Blinded once again looked forward to victory.
Schmeichel went crazy again.
Ferguson looked at the field with a smile.
There was no need for him to talk much.
Schmeichel would still be pretty good, if you didn't try to beat him that time.
When Alan Hansen was fired, Dalglish didn't even dare to attack him. It was the first time in his career. If he hadn't been generous, Schmeichel would have been put in the reserve team.
Several years have passed, and the situation at that time is still vivid in my mind.
"Damn bastards!"
Schmeichel pointed at the top of the arc and asked, "You are all fucking standing in front of the penalty area. What, is the penalty area a German minefield? Even if it is a minefield, can't you let young people like Gary come over to clear the mines? It's the first time I've ever seen everyone standing on the same line of defense. If I didn't know your character, I would have thought you bought the ball and deliberately made him go offside!"
"Peter, why do you want me to die?"
Gary·Neville asked with a sad face.
"Shut up idiot, new recruits are only meant to do dirty work!"
Schmeichel cursed.
Gary·Neville closed his mouth angrily.
Steve·Bruce is not here, but he is the easiest target.
Irwin basically doesn't make mistakes, and occasionally Schmeichel is embarrassed to curse people if something goes wrong.
David·Mei has a good sense of position.
Parister Although he occasionally makes mistakes, his long passes are very good and he often helps to clear the ball out of dangerous areas.
In this way, only the injured world of Gary·Neville was achieved.
Gary·Neville decided in his heart that after he retires, he must coach Manchester United and let Kasper be the substitute for the rest of his life.
If you can't beat his father, why can't you bully your son?
His middle name of Gary·Alexander·Neville is the same as Ferguson. At first glance, he is a coaching genius.
Retired at the age of 35, won FA Youth Cup at the age of 36, led the team to win the Youth Champions League at the age of 37, took over the first team of Manchester United at the age of 38, just Kasper Schmeichel is 27 years old, the maturity period of a goalkeeper.
hey-hey.
The kid looks promising and is making decent saves now.
Then use the excuse that he can't pass the ball and put him on the bench.
It will definitely be useful for the goalkeeper to pass the ball. At worst, he will develop a set of related tactics in the future.,
Don't blame him for being evil then.
Who told your dad to always like to bully innocent teammates?
Dejan Lu watched it for a long time.
Still not sure.
But today Ajax's tactics really looked like Chef Fan's big circle tactics.
Your mother, the tactics that were developed twenty years later are now being developed?
Chef's Manchester United is also behind Carrick. When playing on the left, Fellaini goes in to grab points. When playing on the right, Mata and Ashley Young organize.
Because the players pull to the sides instead of playing in the middle, and surround the opponent in the middle every time, it is called a large circle tactic.
Ajax played very similar today.
However, it is not surprising that such a development would occur.
Chef's previous tactic was to give up the use of width in the middle to a certain extent, and the large circle tactic was the most extreme mode of that set.
If Kluivert is replaced by Bergkamp, it will be right. It is equivalent to a Carrick in front, that is, Rooney who retreats. The two players in front and back are responsible for distributing the ball to the left and right.
This tactic is interesting.
But Dejan Lu really doesn't like it at all.
It is difficult to succeed if you give up playing in the middle.
You can't compete in the middle, but you only play on the side. Do you have the transfer speed?
Kanu and George are both technically good among African players, but they can't transfer long passes back and forth as accurately as Dejan the Football King and Beckham.
Kluivert's retracement organization?
Oh.
Dejan Lu finally found the problem.
This tactic does very little protection for the middle.
"Andy, wait a minute and move forward to suppress the defender."
Dejan Lu said.
Andy Cole nodded.
Cole kicked the ball and hit it horizontally. Dejan Lu took advantage of the situation and took the ball and passed it back. After Beckham returned it, he immediately held the ball on the wing and waited for the opponent to grab it.
Wendell is not slow to come up.
Dejan Lu didn't do anything extra. He just passed the ball back to Keane. He returned to the middle again without rushing forward.
He and Cole have a retracement, which will give Manchester United a greater numerical advantage in the midfield.
Forget about traditional centers like Andy Cole.
Only Dejan the Football King can be retracted.
Dejan Lu didn't move much.
But with two people running, Butt and Beckham, and the midfielder behind them, they can easily have two receiving points when passing the ball. The three people always form a triangle.
Davis rushed towards Keane, and Keane immediately passed the ball directly.
Dejan Lu knows there is someone behind him when he takes the ball with his back.
He deliberately pretended to spike the ball and turned around, but he immediately passed it to the right.
De Boer was shaken by him and stepped back, failing to immediately go to the wing to cover up the defense.
Beckham had already picked up his right foot at this time and passed the ball into the penalty area.
Andy Cole started with a single shot, but his shot was blocked by Van der Sar.
"This opportunity is good. If I switch to Dejan, I will definitely get in."
"The main reason is that there are defenders on the side who are interfering. You can't have so many requirements for ordinary forwards. Even Shearer is probably in a similar situation. Dejan is the exception."
There are many defenders who cannot steal the ball, so the best way is to chase back and limit the opponent's angle.
With a small angle, the goalkeeper has a smaller range to defend, and the probability of making a save will increase.
Van Dijk is not as flexible and precise in tackles as Paolo Maldini, but he is a defender who is very good at limiting the opponent's space.
Bisaka's tackle is more like a Italy player, but his handling after the tackle always makes people feel that his IQ is not enough.
If you want to play well as a defender, you don't necessarily have to use the same method, but you definitely need to use your brain.
Gary·Neville felt that he was a smart general. In this corner kick, he found that his body was not advantageous to many people, so he simply chose to stand near the post.
If there is a chance, he can pick up a missed shot and score a goal.
Beckham kicked the ball out after a run-up, but the ball was directly pushed out of the penalty area by Reiziger.
Davis once again showed his amazing running ability, taking the ball and running towards Manchester United's half.
Redondo couldn't keep up when chasing back.
The weight is there.
He knew that if he ran back again, he would be thrown away, so this time Redondo simply took the risk and tackled the ball from behind.
Davis noticed his action and quickly knocked the ball forward, but he failed to avoid it and was hit by Redondo's foot.
Bang,
David Mei did not dare to stop the ball, and there was Finidi George who was advancing forward beside him. He simply swung his big foot behind the penalty area line.
The ball did not rise high enough and flew near the top of the arc, but Blinded stepped sideways and stretched out his foot to block it.
Andy Cole goes up and kicks it.
Blinded quickly blocked it sideways again.
Cole's long-range shot was quite powerful. This time the ball bounced far to the center circle.
Redondo, who had already returned to his position, jumped up, opened his arms, and pushed Davis out. He easily passed the ball down, and then sent a long pass the moment he raised his head.
Players from both sides continued to change their sprint directions, and some people could no longer keep up with the rhythm.
I could only stand in front of the penalty area and watch the Manchester United players advance and the Ajax defenders return to defend.
The height of this ball is not low, and it goes straight into the penalty area.
Blinded doesn't think there is any threat.
Even if it was Dejan Lu running in front of him, when he stopped the ball, it would be near the baseline.
Maybe just stop the ball beyond the baseline.
Moreover, Dejan Lu was still turning around to observe, and the ball was almost at its landing point.
As a defender who often chases sideways, he knows that this situation is also a test for the center of gravity. By the time you adjust to face the goal, it is already too late to handle the ball.
He admitted that Dejan Lu is a top player, but he still runs sideways in the penalty area and is somewhat inexperienced.
Offensive players really have less to think about than defenders.
But at this moment, Blinded once again sensed danger.
Dejan Lu actually used his left foot to jump up.
Just jump sideways.
Are you preparing to head the ball back? This is also a threat.
Because he was always behind Dejan Lu, he had no way to deal with it. He could only hope that Van der Sar could pick off the ball.
But the next second.
Blinded's cognition was broken again.
Dejan Lu, who took off sideways, quickly raised his right foot and turned counterclockwise to drive his right leg up high.
Captain Ajax can even see the dirt on Dejan Lu's shoe spikes.
This pair of custom-made sneakers flashed before his eyes. The red and black colors were not out of place at all, and even matched well. In just such a moment, Dejan Lu's heel hit the back of the ball.
Roundhouse kick, Scorpion Kick!
The goal is close at hand.
But Van der Sar, the goalkeeper who reacted quickly, failed to make any move. He only moved a step to the left. The ball almost hit the inside of the post and bounced into the net.
Astonishing skills!
The away fans' stands instantly burst into loud cheers.
The name of Dejan Lu resounded in the night sky of Ajax, and those pleasure seekers were driven into rhythm and followed their shouts in and out.
With less than 2,000 people, they successfully suppressed the pride of this city.
It's like their No. 7, who single-handedly told the Dutch that if you want to see technology, you should look at Premier League.
"Dejan!!!"
"Dejan Goal!"
"What a goal!!!"
"Some people say that every Chinese knows Kung Fu. I always thought it was just a joke, but the authenticity of this statement today made me doubt it again."
"Dejan has many labels on him. He is a player and a cartoonist, but he has never been a kung fu master. But in this game, he used a roundhouse kick to send the ball into the goal. This action was free and freehand. Even if the ball was replaced by a person, the result would not be any surprise."
"Unparalleled, Dejan's goal is full of power and beauty, allowing us to see his powerful physical explosiveness and muscle control. Look at Blinded, captain Ajax can stuff an apple into his mouth. Obviously he was also shocked by Dejan's goal."
"Even though this stadium has produced countless talents, each of whom is the pride of the Netherlands, even the proudest Dutch people dare not say which great name is better than Dejan! Now Dejan is the best player in the world. When he retires, he will be the best player in the history of football!!!"
After scoring the goal, Dejan Lu rushed to the away fans' stands and turned around while running.
Manchester United fans immediately shouted the phrase - Siuuuuuuuu!
This iconic celebration is being imitated by more and more athletes, and how could United fans not be the same.
Andy Cole followed and imitated Dejan Lu's movements after a simple jump. The two faced each other and opened their arms.
Ferguson also imitated this celebration on the sidelines.
Scotland Coach is in a very good mood.
The performance of the Manchester United general gave Ajax fans a big blow.
Kluivert stood there with his hands on his hips.
It has become clear to the young genius that he is only an average genius.
Manchester United's number 7 is a super genius.
If you want to win Champions Cup, going to Manchester United is the best choice.
Moreover, Manchester United's lineup has always included black people, so it should not be as extreme as the fight in the Ajax locker room.
If you have time, ask your agent if you can go to the UK to play football.
Louis Van Gaal looked up at the night sky. The star Beta Ursa Minor was flickering in and out, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Even if he is talented and is the best coach in Dutch history, and he has come up with such unique tactics, he is ultimately no match for his opponent's extreme personal ability.
Even in team sports, superstars can still change the course of the game.
Directly defeated the efforts of eleven opponents
Ferguson's life is very good.
There is no need to consider any tactics at all.
As long as the players have a chance to pass the ball, Dejan Lu can solve everything by himself.
Without Dejan Lu, today's game would definitely have a different result.
Daley Blinded in front of the TV is only 5 years old, but he can already understand football.
Ajax fell behind again, leaving him sitting there in a daze.
The young mother, who was worried about her son, stroked her son's head and persuaded her, "Losing to Dejan is not a big deal. He is the best player."
After her comfort.
Daley·Blinded curled his lips and almost cried.
Young Blinded felt that what happened to his father was what would happen to him in the future.
It is also a very scary thing to see your 35-year-old self at the age of 5.
Football is a sport that pursues championships.
What is it about being the runner-up all the time?
An expert in failure?
When the time comes, what he faces may not be Dejan Lu, but maybe Dejan Lu's son, or Paolo, Kevin or something.
But there is no difference.
Although he can't understand some things, others often say that he plays like his father.
Daley·Blinded already knows whose son will look like whom.
This is an invisible lineage theory.
So what if his father is the captain of Ajax? He can't just watch others score goals?
Thinking of this, little Blinded felt even sadder.
He raised his head with tears in his eyes and asked, "Mom, is there a possibility that my father is Dejan?"
