The Era of Emerald

() When players from both sides came out of the player tunnel, they were greeted by the cheers of [-] spectators at the Stade Louis II!

"Now both players and coaches have stepped onto the pitch... 44-year-old Louis van Gaal meets Ranieri, who is also 44 years old! Representatives of two young coaches in European football, these two coaches will Let us wait and see whether this European Super Cup will be the best!" At the same time, the enthusiastic voice of the commentator came from Zhuang Mingge's earphones. It seems that this The eldest brother also participated in the previous debate.

Champions Cup champion Ajax, Cup Winners Cup champion Fiorentina, in terms of fame and history, Ajax is much better than Fiorentina.Even if Fiorentina won the Cup Winners Cup once last season, it is still much bleak compared to the famous Ajax: 25 Eredivisie league titles, 12 Dutch Cup titles, four European Champions Cup titles, Toyota Cup and The European Super Cup twice, the UEFA Cup and the Cup Winners Cup also have one entry each. It is a real Grand Slam club and deserves to be the top of the top three giants in the Netherlands.

Looking at Florence again, three Serie A titles, five Coppa Italia titles, two Cup Winners' Cup titles, and only one Champions League final, which dates back to the distant 50s...

But history is just history after all. Judging from the current situation of both sides, Florence is much superior to Ajax.After all, Ajax lost a lot of blood this summer, and although Fiorentina can't be called spending a lot of money, they have also introduced a lot of powerful support.Therefore, Zhuang Mingge felt that if the Fiorentina boys can perform normally, they can completely solve Ajax in 10 minutes, thus winning the first European Super Cup in the club's history!

At this time, as the field captains of Ajax and Fiorentina, Blind and Batistuta came to the referee and prepared to guess the heads and tails of the coin to determine the possession of the ball and their respective halfs.

"The game started! Batistuta took the lead and gave the ball to Djorkaeff behind him! The Frenchman didn't stop the ball, he passed the ball back to Effenberg who was further back grid!"

According to Ranieri's arrangement, Fiorentina's players advanced steadily from the midfield one by one, intending to control the midfield first and then attack the opponent's goal!

After all, judging from the formations of both sides, Ajax is obviously not as good as Fiorentina in terms of midfield control, and their staffing looks more like planning to launch a defensive counterattack.

After the start of the game, the Ajax players immediately started a fierce fight with Fiorentina in the midfield according to the arrangement of the head coach before the game. Van Gaal, who carefully studied the video of Fiorentina's game last season, knew clearly that Fiorentina's Jinggong University Most of them are initiated from the midfield. If you want to suppress Fiorentina, the first thing to suppress is their midfield.

In the 5th minute, Effenberg's pass was intercepted by Collini near the center circle, who immediately passed the ball to Litmanning who retreated from the striker after getting the ball.

The Finnish ice skates did not hesitate. Before the Fiorentina players rushed over to defend, they sent a through ball and sent the ball into the Fiorentina penalty area, where Ronald De Boer, who was defined as a midfielder, appeared!At this moment, there is no one guarding him!

It's just a pity that De Boer's shot was caught by Toldo who was quite focused.

After escaping by chance, the Fiorentina players were still a little confused. How could De Boer, who is a midfielder, run to the front line, while the three Ajax forwards were in the midfielder position?

So in the following period of time, the Fiorentina players who hadn't figured out the opponent's tactics played a shrinking defense in their own half under the command of Effenberg, and at the same time observed the running of the Ajax players on the field. bit.

Zhuang Minge observed for a while, and found that Van Gaal's helpless move to push Laudrup to the front line was a wonderful move. At least from the current effect, it was very similar to Spalletti's no-front tactics when he was coaching in Rome.

In Ajax's starting lineup, there was no striker in the traditional sense. Although the position at the beginning of the game was four three three, the two so-called "forwards" Laudrup and Littmanning both The retracement is very deep, but it is more like a midfielder. With Ronald De Boer, Corini and Gianni Keida behind them, Ajax has occupied the number of midfielders. Certain advantages.

When launching an attack, Litmanning and Laudrup can threaten the opponent's goal with a long shot, while Overmars conducts an assault on the wing. As for Ronald Depok, who was previously defined as a midfielder Er, has become the offensive hub in this formation, not only taking on the heavy responsibility of organizing the offense, but also appearing in the opponent's penalty area in turn with his teammates to threaten the goal.

"This kind of tactics can be created at this time. The coach Van Gaal is still very good." Zhuang Mingge, who has understood the tactics of the Ajax team, said with some admiration.

"What's going on with Ajax's tactics? Tony?" Karin asked quickly when Zhuang Mingge saw the clue.

So Zhuang Mingge whispered some key points of the no-front tactics that he had just remembered to the two of them.

"Tony, according to what you said, wouldn't our defense in Florence be very stressful?" After listening to Zhuang Mingge's explanation, Karin said worriedly.

"Hehe, don't be so nervous. Although this tactic is indeed very powerful, the cards in Van Gaal's current hand determine that this tactic cannot be perfected yet."

"First of all, this no-forward tactic requires two full-backs to attack frequently, so as to widen the width of the attack; secondly, although there is no traditional forward, the center still needs a high point to support, otherwise it is impossible to achieve a three-dimensional attack. .And these two points are exactly the weakness of Ajax now!"

Among the teams that played no-forward tactics in later generations, Spalletti's Roma had Totti and Aquilani, Manchester United during the Trinity period had Ronaldo, and Valencia coached by Benitez also had Mista. The height determines that you can use the header to bomb the opponent's goal. If you don't have it, you can only go to the ground to cooperate. Unless you have the perverted tacit understanding of Barcelona in the future, it is purely suicidal.

Moreover, there are no two full-backs with strong assist ability, and Ajax with only one Overmars can't successfully pull apart Fiorentina's defensive lineup. Defense can make the opponent's chances of scoring more slim.

As long as Ranieri can discover these two weaknesses of Ajax, then in this game, Fiorentina will be invincible!
