The strongest striker system

There were less than 2 minutes left in the first half, plus 2 minutes of stoppage time, in about 5 minutes, Ajax, who played at home, fell behind by a big score of 0-3 Under the circumstances, the players on the field still did not inspire any fighting spirit, and the Sporting Lisbon team, which was playing away, did not continue to launch a crazy attack.

In a flat atmosphere, the first half of the game ended, Ajax fell behind 0-3 for the time being, the players who started the game came off the field, each of their cheeks was full of depression and bewilderment expression.

Head coach De Boer, who walked into the locker room, could no longer suppress his inner anger. He criticized several core players who performed very mediocre in the first half, especially for The players on the forward line were extremely dissatisfied.

In the huge home locker room, there are only coach De Boer and one of his assistants, as well as the players who started the game in the first half. Before that, the players sitting on the bench were led by two assistant coaches. Underneath, warm-up training was carried out on the court.

It can be said that Sun Yingxiong, one of the substitutes, did not know exactly what happened in the locker room. Now he is on the court with several other substitutes, conducting ball conduction training.

As for, in the second half, among these substitutes, they have no idea who can come off the bench.

Especially Sun Yingxiong, he feels that he has just joined the team for about a month, and, through trial training, the other substitute players are almost all players produced by Ajax youth training students. It is root positive red.

For Sun Yingxiong, he was able to sit on the bench and watch the game, which was already a surprise to him. He didn't even dare to expect that he could come off the bench.

Therefore, during the intermission, Sun Yingxiong was very relaxed when doing warm-up activities, with a smile on his face, and chatted and laughed with several other substitute players, without any sense of tension.

The 15-minute intermission passed quickly, and Ajax coach De Boer, with a dark face, walked out of the dressing room, followed by the eleven dejected players who started in the first half.

On the other hand, the head coach and players of Sporting Lisbon who came out of the away locker room were all smiling, as if they had already begun to celebrate the victory of this friendly match in advance.

After seeing the head coach De Boer sitting on the bench, the substitute players who had finished warming up, under the leadership of the assistant coach, also returned to the bench one after another, and the eleven top half made from the locker room The players who started the game went directly onto the court to welcome the upcoming second half of the game.

"Old man, now, I have to make a difficult decision. After the start of the second half, I will replace three players at once. Moreover, I will let the three strikers who are sitting on the bench come on the bench together. Two strikers and one full-back started in the first half." De Boer, who was sitting on the bench, called the assistant coach to him and said in a serious tone.

When De Boer finished speaking, the assistant coach standing in front of him was immediately frightened and dumbfounded. It took about ten seconds for him to react, and in an unbelievable tone, he asked for testimony. : "Old man, do you really want to make such a dangerous decision?"

In fact, when De Boer, who is the head coach, made the decision to replace the three forwards sitting on the bench at the beginning of the second half, no matter who knows the decision he made, he will surely Intimidated.

If three strikers are replaced at once, and a full-back is removed, then the back line can only be changed to a three-back system, with four players in the midfield and three forwards coming off the bench on the front line. Forward players, from the initial 4-3-3 formation, changed to a 3-4-3 very offensive formation, which can be described as offensively strong and defensively weak.

Moreover, it was still a change in the situation of three goals behind. For De Boer, who is the team's head coach, it is undoubtedly a gamble.

What's more, after he used up the three substitutions in one go, if there is another injury in the second half, then he has to fight with fewer people than the opponent. Of course, this is a risk.

But the problem is, facing the situation of falling behind by three goals, De Boer felt that if he could not make changes as soon as possible and continue to let the weak offensive situation continue, he might lose the ball in the second half.

Instead of letting the weak offensive players struggle on the court, it is better to fight hard and send three energetic and energetic substitute forwards to play. Going forward to the frontcourt to assist in the attack, as long as the midfielders who can suppress the opponent dare not rush forward, then he thinks there is a chance to equalize or even overtake the score.

After thinking about it for a while, De Boer stood up from the bench, and facing the surprised assistant coach standing in front of him, he replied in a firm tone: "Yes, old man, I have made a decision. Even though this decision seems like a dangerous gamble, in the case of three goals behind, I must let the players fight to the death. In any case, I cannot accept a big loss at home to The opponent's result."

Therefore, the assistant coach quickly called the three forwards sitting on the bench, including Sun Yingxiong, to the head coach De Boer, and gave them some advice.

After taking off the substitute vest, Sun Yingxiong, who was incredulous about this, and the other two substitute forwards stood on the sidelines, waiting for the substitutes to come on, while the fourth official, before the referee blew the start of the second half, raised his voice He held up the substitution sign.

The two main forwards and a full-back player who were substituted saw their jersey numbers on the substitution sign held up by the fourth official on the sidelines, which made them a little shocked. The head coach De Boer, who was angry at them and criticized them, seemed to be really crazy.

The three of them who were substituted were naturally very upset. Therefore, they left the field from the other side of the court. They did not shake hands with Sun Yingxiong and the other two substitute forwards, nor did they go to the bench to sit. Straight back to their locker room as the home team.

The substitution decision made by Ajax coach De Boer not only shocked the players on the stadium, but even the fans of the home team sitting in the stands around the stadium also let out bursts of exclamation , They all thought that De Boer was clearly playing for the rhythm of death.

You know, when the second half was about to start, among the three substitute forwards who were replaced, the youngest and oldest one was only 19 years old, and Sun Yingxiong, the youngest, was only 17 years old.

Let such a young player come off the bench, including the members of the coaching team who have always had a good working relationship with De Boer, and they all broke into a cold sweat for De Boer's bold decision to use new players.

Among other things, take Sun Yingxiong who came on the field in uniform as an example. When he was called by the assistant coach and stood in front of the head coach De Boer, he learned that he and two others, one year older than him and the other two years older than him When the [-]-year-old striker was about to start the game at the beginning of the second half, he was frightened, and even he himself felt incredible.
