Chapter 216 Our Attack is the Strongest
Chapter 216 Our Attack is the Strongest
De Boer's idea is actually very simple, he just wants to surprise.
After losing the first two rounds, he has already noticed that in terms of strength, Ajax is indeed inferior to other opponents.
These two games against Southampton are Ajax's last chance. If they can beat Southampton, they still have a chance to qualify, at least they can play in the Europa League.
It is difficult to deal with Southampton in a normal way. Southampton is better overall, and its personal ability is not worse than Ajax.
And this approach has indeed a good effect.
Ji Ya really didn't expect that this made the Southampton players quite uncomfortable on the court.
In the No.608 minute of the second half, Eriksson scored the first goal for Ajax through a counterattack!
The Ajax fans cheered thunderously, and they are also looking forward to this victory!
However, Ji Ya immediately replaced the attacker he could replace, and Southampton launched a crazy counterattack.
Even if you don't get used to it, you're almost used to it now.
So Southampton pressed Ajax in their own half and beat them up.
After continuously suppressing the offense, William took a decisive shot from the corner of the penalty area. The ball flew into the near corner of the goal and Southampton equalized the score.
In the remaining time, Southampton is still attacking fiercely, but their luck is average, and they can only accept the result of a draw in the end...
Two weak teams, both losers.
From this point of view, Ajax is somewhat detrimental to others, but they finally got the first points in this group. As a team participating in the Champions League, one point is one point. tenacious.
It can only be said that although Ajax is not the giant of the Champions League that year, it still has the background as a strong team.
Ji Ya shook hands with De Boer helplessly, there really was no shortage of surprises in the Champions Cup.
In another game, Dortmund at home defeated Real Madrid [-]-[-] - Lewandowski and Ronaldo scored goals for both sides in the first half, and in the second half, Dortmund left-back Schmelzer scored the decisive goal. First, Dortmund scored seven points in three rounds and came to the first position in the group, while Real Madrid was second with six points, Southampton was third with two points, and Ajax was last with one point...
This group has been beaten so far, it is indeed the group of death.
If Southampton and Ajax still can't decide the winner in the next round, then they are likely to be eliminated two rounds in advance, and then they can compete, and only the qualification for the Europa League remains.
"Is Southampton so sluggish in the Champions League because they want to hit the honor of three consecutive Europa League titles? Show off the momentum of beating Chelsea [-]-[-]. In this group, prove the strength of the Premier League team! "
Many media have started to criticize Ji Ya again. With their two consecutive victories in the league, this kind of voice is actually a little quieter, but now, it has begun to become more frequent.
"Leave them alone, get it? They don't care how tough our schedule is, they just criticize us. We play Tottenham next, then Leeds away in the Carabao Cup, then away. West Bromwich Albion before returning home to play Ajax. Before every important game, we will run back and forth at home and away. When we need time to adapt to the Champions League, we will put all the strong teams we can touch in front of us. After touching it over and over again...they won't pay attention to these difficulties, so we just have to be ourselves, understand?"
Ji Ya said in the team that the players are a little bit aggrieved, the league has only reached the ninth round, and they will face three of the big6, let alone the former Champions League champions in the Champions League , the league champion last season, under such circumstances, it is normal for Southampton not to adapt.
To put it bluntly, what Southampton has to pay now is the tuition fee.
This home game against Tottenham, Ji Ya is still very important. In the case of another draw in the Champions League, a victory against a strong team in the league is very important.
And now Southampton has rushed to the fourth position with [-] points. Below them are Everton with [-] points, Tottenham with [-] points and West Bromwich Albion - exactly these two rounds Southampton's opponents are Tottenham and West Bromwich Albion. These two teams can be regarded as Southampton's competitors. If they can beat them, then Southampton's fourth position will appear more stable Some.
What Southampton needs now is this kind of stability. Although they have been criticized by the media, their tenacious ranking at the top can explain many problems in itself.
"Bell is in good shape recently." Benelli said to Ki Ya.
"Yeah, it's really a headache to mark this guy, but it's okay, we still defend in the zone." Ji Ya said.
"Don't mark people?" Benelli asked curiously.
"Marking? Let Klein go and stare at him? Poor Nathaniel, I don't want him to be blown to pieces by Bell on the court, and then he will be completely devastated." Ji Ya replied with a sigh.
Benelli was also a little speechless. Indeed, Bell had blown away famous players like Maicon and Zanetti on the field in the past two years. If Klein was to mark Bell, it would indeed be too cruel.
"It's still zone defense. Bell is playing more and more like a striker now, so defending in the penalty area is the most important thing. Tottenham are currently very strong overall. Apart from Bell, Defoe and Dempsey are all good. We You can't just focus on defense, but mainly on offense," Ji Ya said.
Benelli nodded. Southampton has no problem with their offense this season. They have scored 26 goals in eight rounds of the league, an average of more than three per game, and they are not bad in the Champions League. There are goals.
Southampton's league goals are now the first in the Premier League, far ahead of other teams. Chelsea, the top scorer, has only 21 goals, and Manchester United, the second scorer, has only [-] goals. The defending champion Manchester City has only scored Seventeen, and Tottenham only had fifteen goals.
Therefore, the effect of Ji Ya's insistence on attacking can be seen from the statistics.
Although they also conceded a lot of goals, which led to the loss of some seemingly uneconomical games, in fact, this approach gave Southampton's attackers extremely strong confidence.
This is also a benefit, even in an unfavorable situation, they will believe that they will be able to score goals!
In the last game, because they didn't adapt to the opponent's tactics, they only scored one goal, so this game they can be said to be full of energy and want to show their offense in this game.
Before playing against a strong team, the players can have such morale, which is something to be proud of!
