As the team's head coach, he must anticipate his opponents.
This formation was designed to deal with the slightly stronger Liverpool and Atletico Madrid among the six teams, although it is not known whether they will advance to the next round.
As a result of the first round, Liverpool lost 1:2 to Benfica of the Portuguese Super League, while Atletico Madrid drew 2:2 with Valencia, who is also in La Liga. According to the probability, the chances of promotion are not as good as Ajak. Sta.
Martin Jol even thought in his mind that it would be better if they didn't advance, so that the next game with Ajax would be easier to play.
However, this can only be thought about.
The four games started at the same time. If Ajax scored a goal, the other three stadiums would get news to some extent. He still had to experiment with more tactics.
Only in this way can we be able to fight against any team we encounter.
Back on the court, although Ajax was overwhelmed by Wolfsburg through half-time and attacked continuously for more than ten minutes.
However, they did not make any unnecessary mistakes. Dzeko also completed four shots in these ten minutes, and three of them hit the goal frame. Fortunately, the Ajax defender in front of the goal and the goalkeeper used excellent defense to resolve them one by one.
In the 19th minute, Stekelenberg faced Grafite's shot, held the ball firmly, and then quickly threw it in the direction of the attack.
Wolfsburg's backcourt now only has two defenders, Sasha Ritter and Shimunek.
Although these two players are strong defensively, they clearly felt the pressure at this tense moment.
Stekelenberg's decisive action left Wolfsburg's defense instantly exposed to attack.
Emmanuellesson, who caught Stekelenberg's throw, sprinted down the left without hesitation, crossing the midfield like a cheetah.
He made a precise pass and found Pantalic who had already run to the right.
Seeing the opportunity coming, Pantalic passed the football directly into the penalty area without pausing.
Suarez, as the arrow of Ajax's forward line, had already arrived at this time, but beside him, Sasha Ritter and Shimunek had already moved up as quickly as possible.
Faced with this sudden pressure, Suarez remained calm in the face of danger. He made a smart pass and passed the ball, creating a chance for Xiao Yu to win the ball at the back point.
Xiao Yu looked at the football that Suarez missed and without any hesitation, he shot towards the goal.
The football was shot straight towards Wolfsburg's goal.
In this exciting moment, all the spectators held their breath, looking forward to whether the goal would be successful.
Finally, the football flew steadily into the goal, and the audience burst into warm cheers.
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooal!"
"Xiao Yu! It's Xiao Yu again!"
"Two goals!"
"This goal demonstrates the tacit understanding of the Ajax team. It started from Stekelenberg's shot hugging Grafite to Xiao Yu's final decision. It only took Ajax 9 seconds to pass through Etihad The passing and receiving cooperation of Manuelson, Pantalic and Suarez gave Xiao Yu the final opportunity to shoot the empty goal. This is a team victory, a textbook quick counterattack."
"Especially Suarez's leak. Wolfsburg's only two defensive players who could be in place were beside him, and the goalkeeper also moved towards him, but he used himself to create an excellent opportunity for Xiao Yu. Opportunities, not greedy for merit, but for victory, it would be unreasonable for a player like this not to succeed."
After the goal, Xiao Yu and Suarez gave a big hug. The two hugged each other and ran to the sidelines, waving to the few red and white areas to celebrate.
After conceding two goals in 20 minutes, Kestner no longer had any hope of a comeback. He called the captain Josue on the field and told him to let go and score goals regardless of victory or defeat.
Josue also conveyed the coach's message to his teammates. At this moment, Wolfsburg seemed to be coming back to life.
Ajax once again fell into a passive position, but this just allowed Martin Jol to experiment more with his tactics.
He also called Gabri to arrange the next tactical play. In addition to Suarez, Xiao Yu and Pantalic were assigned some defensive tasks in Ajax's frontcourt.
When the time came to 33 minutes, Ajax was still attacked by Wolfsburg.
"Ajax deliberately let Wolfsburg attack, and Kestner seems to have taken the initiative. No matter whether the opponent is a trap or not, he is going to attack now and score early. Martin This is a conspiracy by Joel. The current situation of Wolfsburg means that they have to attack aggressively, but this also happens to fall into the pattern of Ajax's defensive counterattack. There is no way around this move!"
"Hey! Look, Misimovich has passed by again."
"Grafitt moves."
"Misimovich Biography!"
"pretty!"
"Graffit received the ball very steadily. Facing De Zeu, he has a speed advantage."
"Okay, get over him!"
"pass!"
"Dzeko!"
"Graffit passes the ball to Dzeko!"
"Dzeko run!"
"He stopped the ball and went straight past Verhentong!"
"ah!"
"The referee blew the whistle! Will this be a penalty kick?"
"Dzeko's stop was very beautiful. It stopped directly behind Verhentong. He only had to avoid Verhentong to face the goalkeeper alone."
"Yellow card! Huh? The referee showed Dzeko a yellow card!"
"This...! The referee called Dzeko for an offensive foul."
"This... is indeed true, and it makes sense. When Verhentong fell to the ground, Dzeko did have some movements on his hands."
"But that little force shouldn't have caused Verhentong to fall."
"Although Verhentong is young, he is also very experienced in defense. His fall can block Dzeko from moving forward. Secondly, there is also a chance for the referee to judge the opponent for an offensive foul. No, Dzeko was not only dismissed He had a perfect one-on-one opportunity and got a yellow card inexplicably!”
"This is also the success of Martin Jol's tactics."
"Ajax is really stable in this game. Coupled with the 5:1 at home, now with a 6-goal lead, the chance of Wolfsburg's comeback is really too low."
After this controversial penalty, Wolfsburg immediately chose to make substitutions. Kerstner removed Pekarik, who could not guard Xiao Yu at all, and replaced him with an offensive midfielder Dejagah from Iran. .
Basically, he showed everyone his determination to attack.
But Martin Jol was leisurely at this time. What he wanted was for Wolfsburg to attack so that he could practice their side counterattack routine.
Especially on the left wing, Xiao Yu's speed is the fastest in the entire Eredivisie. Even in this Europa League, few can match it.
In the 37th minute, Gabri got the ball in the midfield, and he quickly launched a direct pass, aiming directly at the right back area where Wolfsburg was replaced.
The defense in this area seemed a little loose, but Gabri's direct pass was fast and accurate, and he found Xiao Yu in an instant.
Xiao Yu seemed to be in a no-man's land. He easily got rid of Shimunek who came to defend him and cut inside into the penalty area without any solution.
Facing the goalkeeper, he showed unusual calmness. After easily passing goalkeeper Benario, he hit an empty goal.
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooal!"
"hat trick!"
"Xiao Yu!"
"Kestner may regret his substitution decision. After removing Pekarik, Xiao Yu's movements became easier and it was easier to break into the penalty area. This goal is exactly the same."
Xiao Yu, who completed his hat trick, rushed to the sidelines excitedly. He opened his arms and made his own celebration gesture - the arrival of the king.
Today, he's in Germany, celebrating in front of 30,000 people at the Volkswagen Arena.
This goal made the audience go crazy, and Kerstner may also regret his decision to substitute.
This goal is not just a display of Xiao Yu's personal ability, it also includes the contribution of Suarez in the middle.
It was Suarez's containment effect in the offense that attracted the opponent's defensive firepower to Xiao Yu.
Through his active running and entanglement with the opponent, Xiao Yu was able to face the goalkeeper easily, and this was how he scored the goal later.
Behind this goal is the hard work, tacit understanding and flexible tactical cooperation of the players.
Although Kestner's substitution decision caused some controversy, the final result spoke for itself.
The team's victory was unquestionable, and this goal became a highlight of the game.
During the halftime break, Martin Jol asked Xiao Yu to rest in the second half, and Xiao Yu nodded cooperatively. He could clock out after completing a hat trick.
After halftime, the match between Ajax and Wolfsburg resumed.
Both teams knew they needed to make a difference in the second half to get back on track for victory.
The audience is also looking forward to a more intense confrontation between the two teams.
At the beginning of the second half, Ajax made a substitution and replaced Xiao Yu, who had completed a hat trick in the first half, with Romedal.
And the Ajax players obviously accelerated their attacking pace.
Their offense is more decisive and their defense is more solid.
Although Wolfsburg tried to counterattack, Ajax's defense acted like an impenetrable barrier, blocking all their attacks.
And Wolfsburg is not without a chance.
Their arrow figures Grafite and Dzeko have both shown strong personal abilities.
Grafite's speed and skills kept Ajax's defenders busy, while Dzeko's fulcrum and support ability put Ajax's defense under tremendous pressure.
However, despite each other's offense and defense, they were never able to score again.
Ajax's players were undeterred.
They knew they needed to work harder to keep the score alive.
They began to try to attack from the backcourt, using precise long passes and runs to find loopholes in Wolfsburg's defense.
Not to be outdone, Wolfsburg began to pay more attention to defense, hoping to block Ajax's attack through a tighter defense.
