Chapter 71： conflict

In September, the Netherlands ushers in winter.

In recent days, it has been overcast and rainy, which has caused people to feel a bit chilly.

After losing to Breda two to four away, from Detok Most to the Amsterdam Arena, everyone was shrouded in a cold atmosphere, and everyone felt the pressure of continuous losses.

Losing 0 to 1 away to ac Milan is an excuse, but losing 2 to 4 to Breda and handing over the position of the league leader to the rival Eindhoven is unacceptable.

In the parking lot, after the first team assistant coach Luther Carol got out of the car, he couldn't help but tighten the black jacket on his body, a little cold.

Heading straight to the training building of the first team, Carol gently patted the thigh on the right with the file pocket in his right hand, thinking about things constantly.

Yesterday, after the second team finished the game, assistant coach John Vanschip made a special trip to find him and submitted an application to him. This is also the meaning of coach Van Basten, and Luther Carroll is difficult to be alone. make a decision.

He needs to discuss with the nominal youth training supervisor, the first team coach Ronald Coleman, and the higher-level technical director Van Gaal before he can give a final answer.

He came early and didn't meet anyone along the way, but when he first climbed the stairs to the second floor, he heard the argument from the head coach's office from the corner.

"I tell you, Ronald, our biggest problem now is that the team ’s offense is very undisciplined, we have completely lost the aggressiveness of the frontcourt, including Ibrahimovic, including van der Vaart, including Anyone needs to be responsible for our four goals concealed, including you naturally. "

Van Gaal's angry voice came from the office.

"Louis, I respect you, but are you shirking and being held accountable?" Ronald Coman asked angrily.

"Do you think of me this way?" Van Gaal asked back, "That is really disappointing."

After a pause, Van Gaal ’s voice sounded again, “I ’ve told you long ago that you ca n’t be too indulgent in treating these players. The most important thing about a team is discipline. Everyone must obey the team. We need the forward line It gives opponents more threats and oppression instead of struggling. "

"Have you ever thought that if Ibrahimovic can actively participate in the oppression of the frontcourt, the pressure in the midfield and backcourt will be much smaller, and our midfield and backcourt pass control will be easier, we can put the overall The formation is pushed up, and more of the opponent's half-court is formed, and the counterattack is launched on the spot. "

"You should understand that there is a center like Ibrahimovic ahead. This style of play will be a nightmare for all teams."

There was a silence in the office, followed by a sneer from Ronald Coman.

"Yes, Louis, you are right, but have you ever considered, are the players willing? You have also participated in the conversation with Ibrahimovic, did he agree with you?"

"Then you can do another one." Van Gaal replied unkindly.

"What if I can't do it? Did I change the whole team? Or, I even changed my head coach? You know, the technical director has this power." Ronald Coman asked seriously .

Van Gaal did not speak again at this time, but Luther Carol outside the door could well imagine his anger at this moment.

Talks of the same atmosphere often happened between Van Gaal and Ronald Coman in recent times. Luther Carroll has seen them several times, but the situation of the team is still the same, and there is basically no improvement.

As an Ajax coach, Luther Carroll's view is neutral.

It should be said that Van Gaal ’s ideas and thoughts are correct, and they are consistent with the traditional style of Ajax ’s tradition, but Ronald Coman is a specific operative, and he cannot treat players like Van Gaal. This is not human, he needs to worry more.

As the head coach of a successful professional player, Ronald Coman is more like a big man in the locker room, which makes it difficult for him to treat his players in such an unscrupulous manner like Van Gaal. .

Both of them clearly know the team's problem, but they have never been able to come up with an effective solution.

"Forget it, Ronald, the current atmosphere is not suitable for us to continue the discussion, we will stop here, but I hope you can understand that we must reverse the current disadvantage as soon as possible, we need to make good use of the next week Adjust the team's offense and you can't lose anymore. "

"I know what to do." Ronald Coman replied unkindly.

Luther Carol heard this and knew that the time was almost up, so he slowly walked to the door.

When the two core bosses in the office saw him, they all changed their faces suddenly, which greatly resolved the stiff atmosphere in the office. Ronald Coman actively greeted Luther Carol.

The assistant coach immediately reported to the two of them the application they received, "According to the meaning of the coaching staff of the second team, they hope to include Yang Yang on the special training list, and John Van Skip will train him one-on-one."

Van Gaal frowned and looked at the documents that Luther Carol had handed him. He was very surprised.

As early as the high-level meeting not long ago, the assistant coach in front of him had proposed to include Yang Yang on the special training list, but Van Gaal considered many factors and finally did not agree. Too.

After this kid joined the team, whether it is training or competition, they have performed very eye-catching.

Van Gaal was secretly happy, but on the surface it was ecstatic.

Ronald Coleman took the file from Van Gaal and opened it to see Yang Yang, and he immediately saw a scene he had seen many times, the first team Ibrahimovic And Maxwell often went to the training ground of the second team to find Yang Yang and Fairmaren to practice after the training.

It is said that these four little ghosts are neighbors, and the relationship is very good on weekdays.

Looking at the report submitted by the coaching staff of the second team, Yang Yang and Fairmaren have a tacit understanding, especially on the corner kick.

Similarly, Maxwell and Ibrahimovic are also a first-team team with a very good team. When Van der Mede was in the past, Ajax's two wings flew together and Brazil left back was indispensable.

Putting Yang Yang on the special training list means that Ajax will invest more resources in this player. In addition to arranging a coach to train him specifically, there are other series of packages, such as strengthening Physical fitness and so on.

Because of this, Van Gaal and Coman nodded.

However, for them, this is a trivial matter. Generally, the second team puts it forward and the technical department passes it. It is just a walk through to them. Naturally, it will not be difficult.

"Luther, let the scouts observe the second team's games recently, and every time they give me a brief report." Ronald Coman exclaimed suddenly.

"Is there a point?"

"This Yang Yang, as well as Babel and De Moore, the Crohn in the midfield, the Fermalen and Lindgren in the back line, should pay close attention."

"I understand." Luther Carol nodded in agreement.

The current problems with the Ajax first team are still in the old place. Even to some extent, to resolve the conflict between Ibrahimović and Van der Vaart, you still have to return to the thinking of last season Come up.

The right lane in the front court must be reactivated.

Coman has always adopted the strategy of attacking the middle, mainly because of the lack of wing players.

Daniel Driedell is very fast. He used to perform very well in the second team before, but he didn't make breakthroughs. He didn't have enough speed, so this season he hasn't been paid much attention by Koeman.

Victor Scola was a right-winger that Ajax brought in from Vitus a year ago. He was previously a substitute for Van der Mede and was centered this season, but his biggest problem is that he has not been stable enough and has a lot of ups and downs Technique and ball sense are his shortcomings.

It should be said that these two players each have some problems. Subject to the current status of the team, Ronald Coman temporarily reused Scola, often arranging him or substitutes, and he will often perform. But in general, neither of them are reassuring players.

This is also a kind of sorrow for Ajax.

Van der Meide was finally cultivated. As a result, the Serie A giants took away more than 10 million euros, which directly caused Ajax to suffer heavy losses and the team's performance was also greatly affected.

How easy is it to find a player who can fill the vacancy of VanderMead as soon as possible?

"If I remember correctly, is that Fermalen the left footer?" Ronald Coman asked suddenly.

Luther Carroll thought about it and nodded, "It's the left foot."

"Well, pay more attention."

The head coach of the Netherlands has always liked the details. The two central defenders like to use a pair of left and right feet.

The current first team Escud is the left footer, but his right foot is also extremely flexible, and Heitinga and Pasanin are right footers, so Ronald Coman pays close attention to Fermalen.

Van Gaal was silent on the side, but this did not mean that he was not listening carefully.

Before he came to Ajax, he had anticipated the hidden danger between him and Ronald Coman. To put it bluntly, the two were in different positions and different coaching concepts, which inevitably caused them to Conflicts.

If the team is going smoothly, the management does not exert pressure, he is willing to let it go, but now the team clearly has serious problems, he feels that he needs to give the young coach a wake-up call.

It's a good thing to be able to play with players, but the premise is that you can't become indulgent.

Yang Yang, on the other hand, has been too busy to deal with himself recently, and he has no time to pay attention to it. He didn't expect this kid to perform well in the second team.

The fact that Van Basten and the coaching staff of the second team proposed to include him on the special training list is enough to illustrate the progress made by Yang Yang and prove that he has established a firm foothold in the Ajax youth camp.

Even if the first team changes a bit, he might have the opportunity to enter the first team.

Of course, the premise is that Yang Yang himself has to fight.
