This summer, Ajax also has the task of going out for competition training.

In the pre-season, Ajax participated in the International Champions Cup.

There are a total of three friendly matches in Australia and North America.

There are two friendly matches back in Europe.

Among them, the Australian station was a match against Roma.

The two games in North America were one against Valencia and one against Sevilla.

The two friendly matches after returning to Europe were one against Porto and one against Lyon.

These opponents of Ajax may not be as famous as those giants, but they are not weak in strength.

Ten Hag is very satisfied with the pre-season team selection. These are all strong teams. Ajax will play in the Champions League this season, so it is necessary to play against some strong teams in advance.

The preseason is also the best time to get used to new tactics.

As for what Ten Hag’s tactics are.

Soon the first-team players knew.

On the first training day, I didn’t actually do any training, I just did body side and physical recovery training.

The next day is training day.

As soon as he arrived at the first team training base in the morning, Lin Kedi received a text message notification.

"All players of the first team will gather in the tactical meeting room in 15 minutes."

Lin Kedi arrived in the locker room and found that half of his teammates were here, including De Jong and De Ligt.

After that week of playing, the friendship between Lin Kedi, De Jong and De Ligt has obviously become deeper.

In addition, the age difference between the three of them was not much, so a small group within the team was born.

The three of them walked to the conference room together.

"Frankie, what do you think the coach is going to do?"

"If we choose the tactical conference room, we will definitely be shown the video."

"You don't need to tell me that you already know that the tactical conference room has a large projection."

"I've never been there, what's it like inside."

"It kind of reminds me of a small movie theater, but it's not that dark."

"It makes me look forward to it."

The three-person team arrived at the tactical conference room. When they opened the door, they saw Ten Hahe and the coaching staff there.

The three of them immediately stood still and shouted in unison: "Coach!"

"Come in and find a seat."

This is the time to highlight your character.

Lin Kedi sat directly in the first row, while De Jong sat directly behind Lin Kedi.

As for De Ligt, he sat directly next to Lin Kedi.

After a few more minutes, the whole team arrived.

After all, it was the new coach’s first meeting, and everyone was on time.

When Ten Hahe saw that everyone had arrived, he stood up and picked up something that looked like a remote control on the table.

"Today's meeting is very simple. I just want to explain to you my tactical ideas and system."

"What is football played? In the final analysis, it depends on people, but how are people organized? It depends on tactics! The role of tactics is extremely important in the football world. But please note that I need to explain in advance that I have not denied the stars

The importance of good tactics and star players can bring out 200% or even 3,400% of the energy. But if there is no suitable supporting tactics, then the team will

I may only be able to display 70% or even half of my strength. Utrecht, which I led last season and the season before last, ranked fourth from the bottom in the Eredivisie in terms of value, but what about my results in one season?

Fifth, fourth in one season, it is this result that makes me stand in front of you now. What does it rely on? Of course it is tactics. So, today I am here to talk about the importance of tactics."

Ten Hahe's speaking speed is neither fast nor slow, but the volume is very high. In addition, Ten Hahe's voice is a bit deep, and the tactical conference room is a closed and airtight space, which directly causes Ten Hahe's voice to sound like reverberation.

It envelopes the entire room, and even if you don't want to hear that sound, it will get into your head.

"Next I will play a video to explain it to you."

"This is a video of Utrecht's 2-0 victory over last season's champion Feyenoord. In this game, Utrecht's formation was a 442 diamond midfield position. Here I want to talk about using a diamond midfielder.

What is the purpose of the field? The use of a diamond-shaped midfield means that the width of the attacking formation and crosses are usually made by the wide

The defender is responsible. In the midfield, there will be multiple rotations between players. For example, the No. 7 player is a defensive midfielder and is also the bottom point of the diamond midfielder. In this position, he can not only strengthen the backcourt

The offensive organization of the field can also encourage the full-backs to penetrate further, because the full-backs

When pushing forward, the two central defenders approach the two wings, and No. 7 retreats between the two central defenders to help defend the backcourt. The No. 10 player at the top of the diamond midfielder is the attacking midfielder or shadow forward.

He can participate in the attack when he enters, and when he retreats, he can rotate with the two sides of the diamond midfield to help the team.

Wu creates a numerical advantage and space for short passes in the central area of ​​the attacking third. In this way, the ground cooperation can create routines, but it is orderly chaos, routines and chaos, because the diamond in front of the midfield

These three people can change positions at will, so how can the opponent defend them?"

"In this plan, the position of the attacking midfielder is very important. The player in the attacking midfielder position is required to have the ability to run a lot and participate in the offense, but at the same time his passing ability should not be bad, which is very demanding. But this tactic

It also has shortcomings. Although it can be rotated, the attacking midfielder is still too important. Therefore, if it is like Chelsea's man-to-man marking and sending one person to keep an eye on the attacking midfielder the whole time, then this tactic will be compromised. So -

—I don’t intend to use this tactic at Ajax.”

Originally, Lin Kedi listened very carefully, because Tenhahe explained it with a video, which was very easy to understand.

But suddenly he said "I don't plan to use this tactic in Ajax".

Then you talked for so long?

Of course, Lin Kedi didn’t dare to say it.

I just have to keep listening.

"I know that Ajax's traditional formation is 433. This formation is generally an offensive formation. Real Madrid and Barcelona are using this formation. If you want to use this formation well, there are many requirements. For example, among the three forward players

There are coordination issues between them, as well as the defensive ability of a single defensive midfielder. In short, it is a very good formation. But what I want to say is that I think Ajax needs to change its formation now."

As soon as Ten Hahe finished speaking.

The expressions of all the players on the first team changed.

Changing formations sounds easy, but how many players have lost their main position after changing formations, and there are also many players who have changed from a solid substitute to a solid main force after changing formations.<

This kind of thing is really common in the football world.
