Chapter 1223 Attack or Defense?
After the draw with Wolves, Arsenal also turned their attention to the upcoming quarter-finals of the Champions League.
No matter from any point of view, the Champions League is the top priority of the major schedules.
Ajax is a traditional giant in Europe. Of course, after the rise of commercial football in recent years, the overall decline has begun.
But as the origin of the youth storm, Ajax insisted on using new players to form a team that has always been full of vitality and impact.
What's more, since Ten Hag took office in January 2018, the changes he has brought to Ajax have also given the entire team a positive taste.
For Ten Hag himself, there is no comment on the future, but at least Ten Hag, who is currently coaching at Ajax, is successful.
He condensed the whole club together, driven by young blood to make this club burst out exciting performances.
It can be said that Ajax is definitely a dark horse in the European war so far.
After defeating Real Madrid to advance to the quarter-finals, when everyone was not optimistic about them, they chose to believe in themselves and defeated the Galacticos.
It can be said that this young team has created a legendary deed.
Now, they have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, which is a recognition for Ajax's young players and coach Ten Hag.
And they are about to face Arsenal in the Champions League, which is also their challenge.
Of course, ten Hag and Ajax have already played morale. They think that if anyone can beat Arsenal, it is Ajax.
In Arsenal's tactical room, Mourinho and others are also analyzing game tactics.
"Ajax is a young team. Although the team is led by several experienced players, the overall style is still very aggressive!"
"The Netherlands' total attack and total defense tactics make these young players extremely active in running on the court, and they are very good at seizing opportunities in chaos and fast pace!"
To put it bluntly, Ajax is a young team.
What they are best at is punching the old master to death.
In the last round of the game, Real Madrid was hammered to death by Ajax in this way.
In the chaotic situation, Real Madrid failed to display the characteristics of the players, especially in the home game, which was completely disturbed by the rhythm of Ajax, and finally turned into a chaotic battle.
In the chaotic war, it is often the young people who have more opportunities to perform.
After all, they are better at running and being creative.
Real Madrid's midfield is very strong, they are all experienced stars, but the problem is precisely here, they are bound by their own experience, which eventually leads to the game tilting towards Ajax.
For this reason, when Arsenal face Ajax, their tactics will also be a key issue.
Whether it is steady control, waiting for an opportunity to break through the opponent's defense line or directly fighting the opponent's rhythm, rely on the fast pace and personal ability and creativity in the chaotic battle to kill Ajax.
There is no doubt that the second method is the most morale-boosting method.
But there are also certain hidden dangers!
The coaching staff is silent.
In fact, they don't think they are weaker than Ajax in terms of fast-paced play.
For this reason, they still want to try.
But the problem is that Ajax may have more opportunities when facing this system, which will put Arsenal in a difficult situation.
However, the stable situation will definitely slow down the rhythm, and what changes Ajax will make by then is also a headache.
After all, they collected too little information about Ajax.
These young players are almost the same day by day, and it is difficult for them to grasp all this
Just when everyone was having a headache, Arteta said: "I think we should fight against each other in a fast pace!"
Everyone turned to look at Arteta.
Arteta talked eloquently: "First of all, we have a lot of experience in the fast pace, just like we beat Juventus. Secondly, we have accumulated enough morale in the victories, and the players at this time are in good condition. Hot, they have to be aggressive on the court."
"Especially against Ajax, if we don't ignite this fighting spirit, but let them defend, let them stay defensive, it will not be good for us."
"So, I think it's time to attack! Ajax is in total defense, good at running and creating chances!"
"And so do we!"
Listening to Arteta's words, everyone turned their attention to Mourinho again.
But there was already a hint of expectation in their eyes.
Obviously, they also agree with Arteta's point of view and think that they should play more boldly in the next game.
But Mourinho is a calm head coach, he has a final decision.
Mourinho also felt the anticipation of everyone, and finally he sighed: "Let's play like this in the first half, just like you said, we can't cut off the morale of the winning streak."
Hearing this, the coaches became excited.
A passive game, they played too much.
In this game, they should also show Arsenal's firepower.
Everyone knows that Arsenal is a counter-attacking team and they have a solid defense.
What they don't know is that their former midfielders are just as capable when thrown into attack.
"I will pass the news to the players!"
Arteta ran out excitedly, and the others watched the other party leave the tactical room with a smile.
Mourinho also shook his head with a smile, and asked immediately; "Do you feel aggrieved by letting you play defense with me?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally shook their heads.
Mourinho did not follow up.
In offense and defense, almost everyone will choose to attack, after all, this is a more comfortable way of playing.
Compared with passive, active offense can ignite more passion, just like the previous Arsenal.
But Mourinho is a defensive master!
He has his own judgment!
However, he will also take care of the players and the overall mood, and choose some different ways of playing.
Just like now, under the winning streak, the morale of all Arsenal people has reached its peak. If they are allowed to play defense at this time, it will make them feel aggrieved.
Whether he played well or not will not be mentioned for the time being, and it will not have a very good effect on future games.
To that end, it's time to vent when it's time to vent.
And this time it was a 'gift' given to the Arsenal players by Mourinho.
"Really attack?"
Watching Arteta who broke into the locker room, Wilshere stood up excitedly.
Other strikers like Dembele, Aubameyang, Giroud, etc. are even more excited.
"Which side is the main one? No, no, no! Any side is fine, as long as you can take the initiative to attack. The damn retreat defense is almost making me sick. We really should try a different way of playing!"
Aubameyang shouted excitedly.
Dembele met Mane's eyes and then quickly separated.
Both are looking forward to which of the two of them Mourinho will use in this game.
But no matter which one, they will make adequate preparations.
After deciding to attack, the tactics for the next week will revolve around this system.
For this reason, in the following week, Arsenal's training enthusiasm was extremely high.
Almost all players came to the training ground early and began to devote themselves to the training of offensive routines.
And Arsenal's previous dusty offensive routines were also taken out by them, and they played smoothly.
Especially after the winning streak, with the addition of morale and self-confidence, everyone's state and performance are extremely good.
They feel that they are ready, and they are going to teach these young people a lesson.
On the other side, Ajax is also preparing for this game.
Ten Hag is a proud person. For this reason, he will not change his tactical system. Even in the face of Arsenal, he will take offense.
To put it bluntly, this is a head coach who advocates offense.
And Ten Hag also has his own judgment on this game.
He believes that if he plays with Arsenal, if he plays steadily, then Ajax has almost no chance of winning.
Instead, after a fast-paced and chaotic situation, Ajax used some creative passes and attacks to open the gap.
This is the way to win for Ajax.
