-----

Louis Van Gaal had just finished his call when Qin Xiong knocked on the office door. He tidied up the documents on his desk and called for him to come in.

Louis Van Gaal held a wait-and-see attitude towards the invitation from the British side. Chelsea had a rich boss, but their reputation in Europe wasn't good because Chelsea was disrupting the market. Plus, who would believe the Russian boss's attitude towards the club? Would it be popular for three minutes? Who dared to guarantee?

Louis Van Gaal temporarily put Chelsea's invitation to the back of his mind. When he saw that the person who came was Qin Xiong, he suddenly smiled. When Qin Xiong came over, he reached out and gently patted Qin Xiong's head. He smiled and said, "You did well today!"

Without mentioning anything else, Qin Xiong was so outstanding that Louis Van Gaal also felt proud, especially in the club. After all, the outside world didn't know much about Qin Xiong. In the Ajax club, besides listening to the instructions of the manager, Comain, he had a master like Van Basten to guide him. In terms of technical and tactical knowledge, he was personally taught by Louis Van Gaal.

But in the eyes of the insiders, the more successful Qin Xiong was, the more Louis Van Gaal would be worshipped.

The older the ginger, the spicier it was.

He had a discerning eye. From the decision during Qin Xiong's trial to the careful training later, it was all Louis Van Gaal's credit.

Qin Xiong smiled shyly and scratched his head. He was also very proud in his heart.

He had never said any heroic words in front of Louis Van Gaal, but his performance in the game was his way of repaying Louis Van Gaal's efforts.

In Van Gaal's eyes, the 18-year-old Qin Xiong was still a child. He might have thought that Qin Xiong had run to him after the game like a child wanting to be praised.

When Qin Xiong sat down, Louis Van Gaal smiled and said, "Qin Xiong, to be able to become a key figure in the Dutch national derby, this means that the hard work in the past two months has paid off. You are improving at an amazing speed. But you have to understand that the Netherlands is still too small. The scope and ambition are too small. This is different from ten years ago. Ten years ago, I was here and the club's goal was not to be the Eredivisie champion. The direction we worked hard towards was to rule Europe! But now, from top to bottom, the club's goal is getting lower and lower. We don't dare to dream of ruling Europe. It would be a great success if we could even reach the semi-finals of the Champions League. Haha, I'm digressing. In short, your vision can't be limited to the Netherlands. You have to look beyond the Netherlands and look at the whole of Europe.

Qin Xiong nodded his head. Immediately, his expression became serious and he asked, "Did you watch the game?"

Louis Van Gaal replied, "I watched it."

Qin Xiong continued, "I have a question that needs to be answered. Maybe I can't describe my confusion clearly. That is, there is a player in PSV Eindhoven called, well, Alger Robben. The way he plays seems to be free and freewheeling, but it is clearly based on the tactical system of the whole PSV Eindhoven team. My question is why I haven't seen any player in Ajax play in the way Alger Robben plays. In the game, the way he plays is really effective and unexpected. Especially for the players who defend him, they feel very unfamiliar."

Louis Van Gaal pondered for a moment and then began to answer Qin Xiong's doubts.

In fact, whether it was Qin Xiong or Louis Van Gaal, they did not have a particularly strong epoch-making impact.

Just in the 03-04 season, due to a variety of reasons, including the further squeezing of the survival space of the classic attacking midfielders. Previously, the typical Pirlo position was withdrawn to drag the organization behind. Now, Kaka in AC Milan's team was introduced by most of the media as not an attacking midfielder, but a striker or a shadow winger! The core role of the attacking midfielders in the past was further weakened. Coupled with the tactical changes in France's World Cup victory a few years ago, the double defensive midfielders began to appear on the mainstream stage. It was affecting the new types of roles on the field today, or the roles that had disappeared in the past were once again returning!

After all, Robben's style of play existed in the ancient days of football, but with the progress of modern football, this role disappeared.

Even the Netherlands was no exception. People who had seen Overmars play would definitely not think that it would be difficult for Overmars to imitate Robben's style of play. However, Overmars was the traditional role of a winger. It was just that his style of play was more radical than that of the English side midfielders, and his acceleration in the offense was more obvious.

In terms of tactics, in the past, when there were no double defensive midfielders, there were two strikers in the penalty area, another attacking midfielder in the back row, and passing from the flanks. There were many receiving points in the middle, and the threat was great.

But now, with the emergence of the double defensive midfielders, the passing from the flanks tactic had existed for so long, and there were not many unexpected changes. Over time, the power of the tactic gradually declined. Of course, Manchester United's golden wingers combination, with Ryan Giggs on the left and David Beckham on the right, was definitely the pinnacle combination that took the passing from the flanks to the extreme. And Spain, which was rich in such wingers, was repeatedly defeated in the big games. They only had the title of the king of the qualifiers, which was difficult to distinguish between praise and criticism.

At the critical point of an era, innovative elements would inevitably appear to push forward the development of football and usher in a new era.

Louis Van Gaal told Qin Xiong a lot, and it was a bit like a memoir.

Twenty years ago, how football was played, what kind of tactics were mainstream at that time, and the greatest threat.

Fifteen years ago, so and so.

Ten years ago …

Five years ago …

Louis Van Gaal did not seem to answer the question, but in fact, in the process of answering Qin Xiong's questions in such a clear way, Qin Xiong could intuitively understand why Robben's current style of play posed such a great threat!

Because he himself had felt that his goal in the game was actually inspired by Robben's style of play. He wanted to test it for himself to see if there was a problem with Ajax's defense, or if it was a style of play that played a key role.

After feeling it, he understood that it might really be a subversive style of play for him, a brand-new routine that tore apart the opponent's defensive line!

In the end, Louis Van Gaal concluded, "It's not impossible for the winger to cut inside and play the greatest threat by himself. All teams can play like this, but all teams must take into account the negative impact. PSV Eindhoven solved this problem, so they gave Robben a higher degree of freedom. Think about it another way. In fact, two wingers and two strikers, both rushing into the penalty area, aren't they the greatest threat? Of course, even if they create chaos, the possibility of a goal is higher! But what about the defense? You can't guarantee that every attack will be successful. In the process of the opponent's counterattack and pushing forward, the entire midfield may be like walking on flat ground. Qin Xiong, you have to realize the core, balance and role change! At a certain moment in the game, Robben is not a winger, he is a striker! PSV Eindhoven's play is not a 4-3-3, but a 4-4-2. When you can see through the surface to the core of the essence, you can understand everything. "

When Louis Van Gaal said so, Qin Xiong was enlightened and had an epiphany in an instant!

Sometimes, it was a flexible change in thinking that would make the thinking suddenly clear, like the clouds parting to see the sun, no longer hazy like looking at flowers in the fog.

Qin Xiong was still thinking after he left.

Solving doubts was not the end of thinking. On the contrary, because of the answer, more ideas would be derived.

Robben was a left-footed player, so his success rate of directly shooting to threaten the goal after cutting inside from the right flank was higher.

Although Qin Xiong could play with both feet, his right foot was obviously more proficient. He was obviously more confident in shooting after cutting inside from the left flank.

But the problem was that Qin Xiong was not a winger.

But in the game, as a player with a wide range of coverage, Qin Xiong could appear on the flank. The additional problem was balance.

If he went to the flank, who would go to the middle?

It just so happened that because Snede and Van Der Vaart both had a sense of position to play in the middle and could be very competent in the task of connecting the middle, Qin Xiong could not wait to think about this problem.

Sikora could not. Sikora was a typical winger. Qin Xiong could not change positions with him.

But all in all, Qin Xiong thought that this game with PSV Eindhoven was a great harvest!

It improved his understanding of the game, enriched his experience, and also learned a new way of playing football. It opened up a whole new way of thinking. As long as it was used properly, it could show explosive power!
