Chapter 53 Call my name
This wave of pressing didn't last long.
Because when Manchester United was pressing once, Rashford's shot was too straight and was blocked by Sanchez with his chest.
The ball bounced out of the penalty area. Dolberg got the ball and passed it forward without stopping.
Traore on the right of Ajax got the ball and took it forward.
At this time, Manchester United only had two defensive players in the half, one was Valencia and the other was Damian.
Yes, you read that right, two full-backs, because the central defenders are both in the penalty area of Ajax. I have to say that this kind of thing is indeed quite outrageous.
However, Manchester United's two full-backs also have an advantage in speed, and they are positioned further back.
So when Traore dribbled the ball, Damian pressed forward directly.
At this time, if you are a player who is very confident in your speed, you can just pass the ball and accelerate and change direction.
But Taraore obviously had no confidence in his speed. At this time, Lin Kedi also sprinted forward quickly.
"Give it to me! Give it to me!"
Lin Kedi was almost crossing the offside line in the middle.
But Traore also stopped passing the ball and his speed slowed down.
"He wants to beat Damian one-on-one?"
"This is so unwise. Lin Ke's opponent in the middle is asking for the ball. There's no one in front of him, so why don't you pass it?"
When faced with Traore, Damian did not rush forward, but retreated step by step. All he wanted was to slow down Traore's counterattack and wait for his teammates to return to their positions.
"Oh, Manchester United's defensive players are all back, and there is no counterattack this time!"
"What a pity - hey! This will be given to Lin Kedi! Just now, he didn't give it to Lin Kedi when there was no one in front of him. Now the entire defense line and a defensive midfielder are back. They are only given now. What's the matter?
Use it!"
Facing Traore's pass, Lin Kedi did not move forward, but turned around and kicked the ball back to Klassen behind him.
Subsequently, Lin Kedi himself rushed towards the hinterland of Manchester United.
Klassen originally wanted to take control, but when he saw Link, the enemy rushed towards the opponent's defense line again.
So he tried to find Lin to defeat the enemy with a long overhead pass.
However, the ball was not passed well and Smalling directly hit it and destroyed it.
Herrera then pulled back and got the ball, and it became Manchester United's possession again.
In fact, this mistake had nothing to do with Lin Kedi, but after all, he lost the ball right in front of him, so Lin Kedi turned around and knocked Herrera to the ground with a kick.
"Beep——"
"The referee called Lin Kedi a foul, but he didn't give him a card. He came over and gave Lin Kedi a warning."
"When we saw Lin Kedi, we immediately apologized to Herrera."
Herrera was a little angry at first, but when he turned around and saw that it was a young child, he took the initiative to apologize to himself. Although he was still angry, he did not have an attack.
"Manchester United's set piece in the backcourt."
Herrera stood up and kicked the ball out.
However, the players in Manchester United's frontcourt did not get this ball.
The ball was exchanged again.
Time slowly came to 70 minutes.
On the sidelines, Ajax made another substitution.
"Schene came off and was replaced by Van de Beek."
"Indeed, there was basically no performance in this game. Ajak has already changed two players, and Manchester United is still standing still."
"When we need to attack now, Bosz replaced a midfielder. But after Van de Beek came on, he played in the midfielder position. It seemed to be a little further forward than the position just now."
In the 70th minute, Ajax had already changed two players.
Van de Beek, who came on the field, ran very actively.
Lin Kedi and he never played football together.
But I saw Van de Beek push forward as soon as he got the ball on the field.
Naturally, Lin Kedi immediately increased his speed and rushed behind Smolin.
When he reached the offside line, Lin Kedi waited for Van der Beek's pass, but Van der Beek did not pass the ball, but continued to lead forward.
Then Herrera intercepted the ball directly.
[Yes, it’s a unique pen]
Lin Kedi thought.
Although I basically don’t know much about Van Der Beek, I don’t know much about people.
But just now you have a position, so it's normal not to pass the ball. You can also lead forward, but don't let the ball be intercepted.
Doesn't this give Manchester United the ball again?
Fortunately, after Manchester United stole the ball this time, they did not rush forward, but passed it to the wing.
Riedewald grabbed the ball from Mata's feet and knocked the ball out of the sideline.
After the dead ball, Manchester United made their first substitution of the game.
Lingard comes on and replaces Mkhitaryan.
"Replaced a midfielder with a player who can play on the wing, or a player with speed. The intention is also obvious, to use speed to attack Ajax's right wing."
"Ajax's overall performance on the right side is actually not good, so Mourinho also noticed this and replaced Lingard to focus on this side."
And Lingard has only touched the ball a few times since he came up.
The ball is in Ajax's favor again.
Lin Kedi was a little anxious on the court.
This has been 80 minutes, and there are only about 10 minutes until the end of the game.
But Ajax is still playing pass control, passing from the center to the wing, and the wing returns to the center again, this kind of penetration.
Lin Kedi didn't understand. He scored a goal when he came on the field. Why didn't he pass the ball to him?
At this time, Ajax began to make substitutions on the sidelines again.
"No. 4 Riedewald comes off and is replaced by No. 21 De Jong."
"This is a full-back and a midfielder. This young player named Frenkie de Jong is good at playing the roles of organizational midfielder and attacking midfielder."
"So now should we directly change to three central defenders or let one player play as a full-back?"
"Oh - look at the position, it's 343, De Jong and Van de Beek are in the middle, Ziyech and Klaassen are playing at the wing-back position."
"No matter how you position yourself, Ajax is the team with the ball now, so you can't counterattack. If you're playing positional warfare, don't step down, just kick up. Dorberg in the middle
Although Lin Kedi is tall, he is less than 1.8 meters, but he can also ambush at two o'clock!"
As if he heard Zhang Lu's voice, Klaassen, who was playing as a wing-back, finally passed the ball after taking the ball.
"That's a beautiful pass -"
"Oh! Link's enemy jumps!"
Lin Kedi jumped up. Although he was not as tall as Smalling, his judgment of the landing point and his exquisite timing allowed Lin Kedi to hit the ball.
Lin Kedi was now standing a little in front of the penalty spot.
Lin Kedi's first thought was...
"This ball better be thrown down."
So, the header hit hard.
The ball was hit by Lin Kedi's head and smashed downwards.
He was about to head towards the right side of the goal.
"Bang——"
The ball hit the post.
"The ball's in! It's in! It's in!"
"The ball hit the post and bounced into the goal! The goal went in! Lin Kedi equalized the score! Oh my God! Lin Kedi scored twice! Lin Kedi scored twice!"
The moment the ball bounces into the net.
