Chapter 61 The Tactical Conference Room

This summer, Ajax also has the task of going out for training.

In the pre-season, Ajax participated in the International Champions Cup.

Among them, Australia station and North America station have a total of three friendly matches.

Back in Europe there are two more friendlies.

Among them, the Australian station is the game against Rome.

In the two games in North America, one is against Valencia and the other is against Sevilla.

After returning to Europe, there were two friendly matches, one against Porto and one against Lyon.

These opponents of Ajax may not be as famous as those giants, but none of them are weak.

Ten Hag is very satisfied with the team selection in the preseason. These are strong teams. This season Ajax is going to play in the Champions League. It is necessary to play some strong teams in advance.

And the preseason is also the best time to run into new tactics.

As for what Ten Hag's tactics are.

It didn't take long for the first-team players to find out.

On the first training day, I didn't actually do any training, but just did physical testing and physical recovery training.

Second day of training.

As soon as he arrived at the first-team training base in the morning, Lin Kedi received a text message.

"All the players of the first team will gather in the tactical conference room after 15 minutes."

Link arrived in the locker room and found that half of his teammates had come, including De Jong and De Ligt.

After that week of playing, the friendship between Lin Kedi, De Jong and De Ligt has obviously become deeper.

In addition, there is not much age difference between the three of them, so a small group in the team was born.

The three walked towards the meeting room together.

"Frankie, what do you think the coach is going to do?"

"Choose it in the tactical conference room, and definitely show us the video."

"You don't need to tell me. There is a big projection in the tactical meeting room."

"I've never been there, what's it like inside."

"It's a bit like a small movie hall, but it's not so dark."

"It made me look forward to it."

The three-person team arrived at the tactical conference room, opened the door and saw Ten Hag and the coaching staff there.

The three stood still immediately and shouted in unison: "Coach!"

"Come in, find a seat and sit down."

Now is the time to show your character.

Lin Kedi sat directly in the first row, while De Jong sat directly behind Lin Kedi.

As for Dericht, he sat directly next to Lin Kedi.

After a few more minutes, the whole team arrived.

After all, it was the first meeting of the new coach, and everyone was on time.

When Ten Hag saw that everyone was present, he stood up and picked up what looked like a remote control on the table.

"Today's meeting is very simple. It is to explain and convey my tactical thinking and system to everyone."

"What is football played? In the final analysis, it depends on people, but how are people organized? It depends on tactics! The role of tactics is extremely important in the football world. But please note that I need to explain in advance that I did not deny the star The importance of good tactics and stars can play 200% or even 3% of the energy. But if there is no suitable matching tactics, then the team's strength may only be able to play 400% or half of it. Come out. Utrecht, which I led last season and last season, ranked fourth from the bottom in terms of net worth, but my results were fifth in one season and fourth in the other. Now I am standing in front of you. What is it based on? Of course it is tactics. So, today I am here to talk about the importance of tactics."

Ten Hag's speech speed is neither fast nor slow, but the volume is very high, and Ten Hag's voice is a bit thick, and the tactical conference room is a closed airtight space, which directly causes Ten Hag's voice to sound like a reverberation It also enveloped the entire room, and the sound would get into your head if you didn't want to hear it.

"Next, I will play a video to explain it to you."

"This is a video of Utrecht's 2-0 victory over last season's champion Feyenoord. In this game, Utrecht's formation is a 442 diamond midfield position. Here I want to talk about it, using the diamond center What is the purpose of the field. The use of a diamond-shaped midfield means that the width of the attacking formation and the crossing are usually handled by the full-backs. In the midfield, there are multiple rotations between players. For example, this No. 7 player is a A defensive midfielder is also the bottom point of the diamond-shaped midfielder. In this position, he can not only strengthen the offensive organization of the backcourt, but also encourage the full-backs to advance further, because when the full-backs advance, the two central defenders Close to the two sides, No. 7 retreats between the two central defenders to help the defense of the backcourt. The No. 10 player at the top of the diamond-shaped midfielder is the midfielder or shadow forward. You can rotate and cooperate with the two sides of the diamond-shaped midfielder to help the team create a numerical advantage and space for short passes in the central area of ​​the third offensive zone. In this way, the ground cooperation can play routines, but it is orderly It’s chaotic, it’s routine and it’s chaotic, because the three players in front of the diamond-shaped midfielder can change positions at will, so how can the opponent defend against it?”

"In this set of plans, the position of the midfielder is very important. The player in the midfielder position is required to have a lot of running and the ability to participate in the offense, but at the same time his passing ability must not be poor, which is very demanding. But this tactic It also has shortcomings. Although it can rotate, the front midfielder is still too important, so if it is like Chelsea's man-to-man marking, if one person is sent to stare at the front midfielder all the time, then this tactic will be compromised. So— - I don't intend to use this tactic at Ajax."

Originally, Lin Kedi listened very carefully, because Ten Hahe explained it with a video, which was very easy to understand.

But suddenly came the sentence "I don't plan to use this tactic at Ajax".

Then you have been talking for so long?

Of course, Lin Kedi didn't dare to say it.

Just keep listening.

"I know that Ajax's traditional formation is 433. Generally speaking, this formation is an offensive formation. Real Madrid and Barcelona are using this formation. If this formation is to be used well, there are many requirements. For example, between the three strikers. The problem of cooperation between players and the defensive ability of a single midfielder, in short, it is a very good formation. But what I want to say is that I think Ajax needs to change the formation now.”

Ten Hag's voice fell.

The faces of all the players in the first team changed.

It sounds easy to change the formation, but how many players have lost their main position after changing the formation, and there are also many players who have changed from an iron-clad substitute to an iron-clad main force after changing the formation.

This kind of thing is really common in the football world.

Because it is directly related to the playing time of the players, when Ten Hag said this, everyone cheered up to listen to what Ten Hag would say next.
