v4 Chapter 1379： He reminded me of Yaya Touré!

Where is Ajax's predicament?

This is a question with a clear answer.

The team's long-term lack of competition is only one reason, that is, it is not as good as others.

The reason for the lack of strength lies in the players.

The club ’s lack of financial resources, the decline of the Dutch League ’s influence, and the lack of attractiveness of Ajax have caused Ajax to be competitive in the European arena, but it also performs poorly in the Netherlands, which requires reflection. Too.

The reason why Ajax was able to sweep Europa, Ibrahimović, Van der Vaart, Sneijder, De Jong, Trabel West and Maxwell was a major contributor.

Later, Ajax once reached the semifinals, and also owns Yang Yang, Yaya Touré and other star stars, and the performance is equally good.

Then there were Suarez, and players currently playing for Tottenham, such as Eriksson and Felton Henry.

But look at Ajax today, how many people can compare with these players?

In terms of the overall situation, after Yang Yang left the team, Ajax began to enter a turbulent period, Van Basten's gambling failed, the club's financial crisis appeared, and then Martin Yor's coaching did not improve, so Ekru The Ajax tradition headed by Yves launched the velvet revolution and seized the power of management.

Over the years, under De Boer ’s coaching, Ajax ’s domestic performance has improved for a while, but the overall performance is still sluggish, especially in the past two years. With the departure of a group of players such as Eriksson, Ajax Jax quickly fell into the quagmire.

...

"I agree with Pete's analysis just now, and I think Ajax's problem lies in the midfield and frontcourt."

Van Gaal was the last to express his opinion, and everyone took his thoughts very seriously.

"I have watched many Ajax games, and recently I have been seriously studying Ajax ’s games and analysis last season. I think this team has two serious problems. One It is the lack of advancement and speed in the offensive of the front court. The other is the chaotic organization of the midfield, the ability to pass the ball forward, and the lack of pressure on the opponent. "

"This has caused the team to have too many crosses and returns in many games, instead of attacking quickly in the first place and creating a threat when the opponent's foothold is not stable. This is very terrible. . "

Yang Yang nodded again and again, Guardiola's Barcelona crashed because of this.

Too many crosses and returns will seriously delay the fighter, and make the team miss the best time to fight back.

But according to Van Gaal, Ajax's problem is different from Barcelona's ability to ensure possession. Ajax is due to lack of advancement, running and speed in the frontcourt.

To put it simply, the ball can't be passed in the midfield and the frontcourt can't run out of position.

"Last season we played two UEFA Champions League matches. The opponent was Vienna, Austria. The opponent is not strong, but it exposed our problems. Krassen is the best passer of the team after Eriksson. But in fact, it is difficult for him to pass the ball under the close guard of the opponent. "

"Bazor is the hottest young player on our team, but in fact, I think his basic skills of passing and receiving are not stable. Many times when the ball reaches his position, the connection will not be smooth."

"In addition, the defense of the midfield is also a big problem. The qualifier against Vienna is a goal conceded by the unfavorable clearance of Bazor and Sinker Graven. These two young players are the best among the club ’s young players, but It ’s still not reassuring. "

When Van Gaal said here, he took a serious look at the look of Van der Sar and others, and finally his eyes fell on Pete Boss. "I agree with Pete's opinion. Our biggest problem now is to increase in the midfield. More dominance, especially in ball play, defense and oppression, on this basis, we need to add more forward attempts in offense. "

"For example, we need players who have the ability to bring the ball forward, as well as players who can quickly pass the ball forward, which are currently lacking in our team."

Whether it is Van Gaal or Pete Boss, it is obvious that Ajax needs to reform in technical and tactical play.

For example, just now Pete Boss mentioned a concept. He said that when Guardiola coached Barcelona, ​​he proposed a three-second law, which means that after the team concedes the ball, it should strive to put it within three seconds. The ball is snatched back.

This so-called Guardiola's law is the bottom line. It is to quickly complete the offensive and defensive conversion in three seconds. This has also become the mainstream trend in European football in the past few years. Convert.

Pete Boss believes that the overall quality and personal ability of Ajax players can not be compared with the top European teams, so he proposed the five-second law, that is, after losing the ball, Ajax must strive for within five seconds Get the ball back.

To do this, Ajax needs to organize tactics and form a team around it.

Ajax ’s traditional style is very similar to Barcelona ’s, and they tend to press high and press, which is easy to leave a gap in the backcourt, but if the team can achieve the five-second law, then the gap on the back line is also No big deal.

…………

…………

The new technical director and new head coach bring a new tactical style and concept.

Ajax will undoubtedly start again in the new season, and no one knows where he can go in the future.

But an imminent problem is that Ajax is being cornered by the outside world.

The team's biggest favorite is undoubtedly the teenager Bazor.

The 19-year-old Dutch teenager is currently the hottest rookie in the Netherlands. He debuted in Eindhoven youth training. He jumped to the Eindhoven 19-year-old youth team at the age of 16, and contracted in 2012 After expiration, he moved freely to Ajax and entered the first team in 14 years and the Dutch national team in 15 years.

In the season just ended, despite the mistakes in the Champions League, Bazor's overall performance was exceptionally good. In the 29th round of the league, he scored five goals and five assists. The results are very good. Everyone thinks , His future development direction is Rijkaard.

Because of this, Bazor has become the target of major European teams. As early as the winter break, Naples of Serie A sent an invitation to Bazor, and Chelsea also offered an offer to Ajax. , But because of Yang Yang ’s capital injection, Ajax sternly rejected the digging between Naples and Chelsea.

In this summer's transfer market, Bazor is also a sweet potato. Chelsea, Barcelona, ​​Arsenal, Juventus, AC Milan, Tottenham, Bayern Munich and other teams are all salivating at him. .

"I can be sure that Bazor's agent and his brother have had contact with Chelsea and Manchester City. Manchester City is most interested in Bazor because Guardiola is eager to strengthen In the team's midfield, he believes that Bazor will be as good as the Busquets he promoted when he coached Barcelona, ​​and Bergeristan has clearly expressed his interest. "

Van Gaal was rather helpless about Bazor's possible departure, because if he really wanted to leave, Ajax could not keep people.

In fact, as early as the winter break, Bazor almost left.

More importantly, the value of this young player is not too high.

Although the Italian media revealed that Naples had set a high price of 20 million euros for Bazor, in fact, Ajax knew that this was basically impossible. The real transaction price was about 10 million euros.

For these giant teams, Bazor is like a lottery, they would rather buy it back to try their luck, rather than let him stay in Ajax.

"Man City are in a desperate mood to get Bazor. Guardiola needs a midfielder, but obviously there is no such player in Manchester City, so he needs a lot of money to help. Both want to get Real Madrid's Hames Ro Driggs and De Blaunet also want to dig in Barcelona ’s Iniesta and Juventus ’s Pogba. "

"According to the evaluation of the technical team, Bazor is afraid that he can't keep it. I was thinking of using Bazor to exchange for Manchester City."

"Who?" Yang Yang asked Van Gaal curiously.

"Jaden Sancho."

"It's him!" Yang Yang vaguely remembered him. This player was transferred from Watford to Manchester City, as if it were 2015.

"Trust me, he is a very, very good genius, I am very familiar with him, and his speed is very fast, very in line with the requirements of our current frontcourt players, exchange Bazor for Sancho, maybe we can still Get a transfer income. "

"He is willing to come to the Netherlands?" Yang Yang asked with concern. He believed Van Gaal's vision. During Van Gaal's coaching at Manchester United, it was said that Manchester United scouts also inspected Sancho at the beginning, so Van Gaal said he was very familiar. Not surprising.

"He can't get any chance in Manchester City, and Manchester City can't let him go to other Premier League teams. He is only 16 years old. If he comes to Ajax, maybe it's the next you." Van Gaal pointed at Yang Yang and smiled Road.

Everyone immediately laughed.

Yang Yang was also 16 when he joined Ajax, and many young players followed Yang Yang as an example.

"In addition, I have read the information about the players recommended by scouts and agents in the recent period. Several of them are very good. One of them is currently playing for the French third-level league team. I think we should introduce it as soon as possible. . "

"Is there anything special?" Van der Sar asked with concern.

Van Gaal smiled faintly, "He reminds me of Yaya Touré!"

Yaya Touré, the current Manchester City star, but has a very bad relationship with Guardiola. It is said that he will leave the team this summer, and the Ivorian midfielder is also from Ajax.

Interestingly, when Van Gaal left Ajax and coached Alkmaar, Heng Dao grabbed the love and robbed Ajax of the most admired Dutch midfielder Dezeu, resulting in Ajax having to choose In addition to plan b, Yaya Touré was introduced.

Unexpectedly, Yaya Touré shined in Ajax.

Now Van Gaal says that Yang Yang is also very interested in seeing a player who reminds him of Yaya Touré.

Who is it?
