1553 I will try my best!

[3q Chinese website], wonderful novels are free to read without pop-ups!

When the huge Wembley Stadium began to fade and North London fans left with disappointment, Yang Yang sat on the windowsill in an inconspicuous room on the stadium, drinking mineral water, and a faint smile on his face.

Opposite him, Pochettino raised the red wine glass in his hand, drank all the wine in one breath, and even tsk twice, complaining: "What a good wine! If I had known you wouldn't drink it, I wouldn't have been able to open it, it would be a waste!"

After hearing this, Yang Yang laughed out loud, "Isn't this a cheap one?"

"I bought this wine!" Pochettino emphasized, reminding him, his tone full of resentment.

His team just drew Ajax 2-2 on this stadium. Although he got the first point in the group stage, he completely lost the qualification to advance in the group. Ajax gained a considerable advantage in qualifying in the group through this draw.

Unless Ajax suffers a major defeat in the next two rounds of games, promotion should be a high probability event.

Of course, Yang Yang did not dare to be careless about this, because he knew that his next opponents Bayern Munich and Inter Milan would be stronger than Ajax. It is really impossible to lose two consecutive games.

Let me talk to Pochettino openly. This was an invitation from Yang Yang two weeks ago, but now it is Pochettino himself.

The two sat in this inconspicuous room, staring at the crowds of people rolling out in the stadium, and discussing a lot of things.

Tottenham Hotspur has no hope of advancing, and it is unlikely that they will encounter Ajax again this season. Pochettino also gave his own evaluation of Ajax without hesitation.

"Your double midfielders are a very fatal weakness. The first goal can be said to be caused by chaos in the penalty area, but the second goal is obviously due to weak protection of the midfielder, and the central defender has to grab it. After losing the position, Harry Kane seized the opportunity."

When Pochettino said this, he was full of regret. "Not only the two goals tonight, we actually have many opportunities, but we were not sure about it. In that game two weeks ago, our goals also came from this."

Speaking of this, Pochettino shook his head, "If you don't solve this problem properly, you may not be insured in the next two games. After all, you haven't entered the group stage for many years, and Bayern Munich and Inter Milan are not familiar with you at the beginning, but after these games, they must have focused on studying you."

Yang Yang understood what Pochettino meant, and he thought of it too.

Intelligence is always the most important resource in war.

Many people still cannot understand why football is hailed as a war without gunpowder.

Professional football has brought this sentence to the extreme, because in the Champions League, every game is worth millions of euros, and some even exceed tens of millions of euros. This is definitely a number that can cause any team to commit crimes.

Even the most successful consortium in the world cannot ignore more than tens of millions of euros, let alone football clubs.

So, in order to win a game, they will exhaust everything to create opportunities for victory.

So in the end, intelligence is extremely important.

Pochettino is right. Bayern Munich and Inter Milan will fight Ajax with all their might in the next two games, because one of them wants to fight for the top spot in the group and the other wants to fight for the right to qualify in the group, which are all worth tens of millions of euros.

"Do you think their performance in this game is much better than two weeks ago?" Yang Yang asked suddenly.

"Is there any?" Pochettino was a little surprised. He didn't expect Yang Yang to ask this. He thought about it carefully, "It seems there is, but it seems that there is no, but is this important?"

"It's very important." Yang Yang nodded with a smile, "If there is, it proves that they are improving."

"Then what?"

"As long as we keep improving, we have the opportunity to improve some weaknesses and improve ourselves."

"But the Champions League game is not waiting for anyone," Pochettino reminded.

"For an adult team like you, of course, this is true, but don't forget that our average age is only twenty years old, do you know? Jovich, who broke your goal for two consecutive games, was only twenty years old, De Jong and Ndongbele were only twenty years old, De Rigt, who blocked Harry Kane many times, was only nineteen, and Militon was only twenty years old."

Pochettino had known Ajax was very young, and he even knew the age of Ajax players. But when Yang Yang said it one by one, combined with the game just now, he was still very shocked.

It was thanks to this group of young players that Yang Yang killed Tottenham Hotspur.

And who can imagine what this group of young Ajax players will develop in the future?

Yang Yang is right. Pochettino always uses the standards of an adult team to measure Ajax. He always feels it is difficult for this team to change anything midway through the season, but he forgets one thing: this team is too young.

Young means growth, progress, and infinite possibilities.

Before the group stage, who could believe that this Eredivisie team that thrilled over Standard Liege and Dynamo Kiev could eventually stand out in such a cruel group of death?

"Maybe, you are right. You are too young and have unlimited potential, but I still retain my point of view. The position of the back midfielder must be solved. If it were me, I would consider adding one person and sacrificing some offense. You are playing too radically!"

At the end of the day, Pochettino himself smiled bitterly.

He couldn't tell whether this radicalism was right or wrong.

It is said to be radical, but Ajax scored at the beginning. This is the first time Ajax has scored at the beginning?

How many games have you played this season?

Ajax scored the first goal almost every time, and this team played too radically!

"Whether it is radical or not depends on the team. We are too young and I don't have much confidence in defense." Yang Yang admitted frankly.

Pochettino also coached Southampton. The Saints were also relatively young at that time, so he understood Yang Yang's meaning.

"Actually, I think your team is still very distinctive, especially this group of young players."

Yang Yang looked at Pochettino, nodded, indicating that he was listening.

"Your characteristics are young, the players have excellent running ability, fast offensive speed, and very impactfulness, which makes the team's high-pressure and oppression very lethal. You should continue to maintain this point. In addition, I think there is another interesting thing, that is, there are many players in your team who have the ability to push the ball."

When Yang Yang heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and a hint of cunning appeared in his eyes.

"Not to mention the two wings, Nerez, Sancho, Mullen and Stens have strong wing propulsion capabilities. You often play front midfielder. Ndongbele in the midfielder has also strong propulsion capabilities after dribbling the ball. In addition, Taliafico and Ashraf of two full-backs, or Joe and Mazravi, or even central defenders De Rigt and Militon..."

When he said this, Pochettino suddenly looked at Yang Yang, "I dare say, you must have arranged this on purpose."

This lineup was formed by Yang Yang himself. From the players he chose, it is not difficult to see his ideas and ideas.

"After pressing and pressing at a high position, after breaking the ball, the shortest time to turn from defense to offense. The most efficient way is to instigate the offender himself to instigate the attack, or drive the ball forward, right?" Yang Yang asked.

Pochettino nodded, and he suddenly understood what Yang Yang meant. This was exactly the idea adopted by many teams that advocated high-level pressing and oppression, but they did not have as many points as Ajax and so many players with the ability to drive the ball.

The traditional feature of Ajax is the fast pass and cut cooperation, coupled with the players' personal abilities, which makes them push the ball into the frontcourt in many ways, which can be said to be blooming at multiple points and cannot be defended.

Once the ball reaches the frontcourt, centers Jovic and Yang Yang will have an effect because both of them can hold the ball.

Among them, Jovic was at the front and grabbed the ball in the opponent's back midfield and two rib areas. Yang Yang was responsible for dragging back and connecting and inserting the ball. In addition, the player's large-scale running position and excellent passing and cutting ability make Ajax's offense extremely threatening once it reaches the frontcourt.

Jovic is a center with a very comprehensive and excellent physical fitness. Even in the competition with Fertonheng and Aldevelde, he is often able to grab the ball or hold the ball, which is very important.

"So, you still have to continue to optimize this style of play next?" Pochettino asked curiously.

Curiosity even made him forget to drink.

Yang Yang nodded, "This is our traditional feature and it is also in line with the actual situation of our team now."

"Then you should try to optimize the cooperation between the double midfielders, especially the protection of the defense line. In addition, I think your offensive rate can be faster. With your running ability and speed, if you can maintain the stability of passing, few teams can keep up with your pace." Pochettino suggested.

Yang Yang nodded at the place where he was taught.

"To be honest, I suddenly feel that we are not unfair to lose. At the same time, I am looking forward to your performance in the knockout stage. Use the winter break to polish the team. I believe you can improve faster." Pochettino smiled and encouraged.

...

This is the first time they drink.

One of them is learning from the strengths of many families, the other is the loyal disciple of Bielsa, the other is the greatest player in the history of world football, and the other is the young coach who has transformed into a head coach, and the other is also a professional player. There is no problem in communication.

Pochettino's training level has always been highly praised. Gary Neville has praised his training many times, believing that he is the head coach with the highest level of training in European football today. Yang Yang also humbly asked for advice in this regard.

Pochettino also knew everything about some of the problems encountered by Yang Yang, including how to effectively train both midfielders, as well as the problem of Ndongbele and Militon being easily distracted in the game.

Although some things are just adjustments to details, they look very targeted, and Yang Yang has benefited a lot.

Of course, as the number one person in the world, Yang Yang's understanding of football also greatly amazes Pochettino.

The two of them became more and more excited as they chatted, and finally they bid farewell to each other after another.

"If you eliminate us, then work harder and strive for a good result, otherwise we will be embarrassed!" Pochettino encouraged.

Yang Yang waved his hand and signaled that he had received it.
