Monaco fell behind in total score of 3:4 and was far from desperate.⊥
These two games with Monaco may be the most open and passionate game Qin Xiong has played since he landed in Europe.
It has nothing to do with the number of stars, but in the big opening and closing on the scene. Both sides take offense as their first goal. In the tactical system, the priority of offense is greater than that of defense!
So the players on both sides showed their magical powers.
Monaco, which regrouped, continued to challenge Ajax's defense line. Their disadvantage is that they can only be limited to the wing, a typical wing forward, lacking effective support for the middle offense, and only Morientes on the front line is full of a strong presence when attacking.
Although Ajax's offensive continued, the decline in efficiency after losing Ibrahimovic is obvious.
They must closely combine from back to forward teammates to advance the offensive.
A better offensive environment than in the previous game. If an Ibrahimovic acts as a fulcrum in the frontcourt, Ajax's fast break might be more powerful.
In that case, the backcourt will transport shells to the frontcourt. As long as Ibrahimovic can hold his position and control the ball in the frontcourt and wait for the double-wingers to cut into the penalty area strongly, his pass delivery will produce a fatal lightning attack.
In the 63rd minute of the game, before Morientes retreated to the penalty area, Roten and Jiuli used the screen of cutting in the running to create a loose environment for him to take the ball. He calmly controlled the ball and shook the angle to complete a shot that was less than 10 cm away from the post!
Morientes roared to the sky, a slight difference!
When Monaco was preventing Ajax's fast break, most of the attention was focused on Qin Xiong, even if Qin Xiong did not touch the ball, Monaco players would consciously run to the route he was moving forward in advance.
This made a fatal mistake!
Although Ajax relies on Qin Xiong, he does not rely entirely on him!
In the 67th minute, Galasek controlled the ball in the backcourt, and Qin Xiong slowly ran forward, looking for an open-air support. Zix, Benardi, and Cisse formed a triangle position to block Qin Xiong's path forward, and was ready to pounce on him at any time.
But Galasek passed the ball to the left.
Maxville ran forward with his legs. The first step was to touch the ball, and he drove the ball forward on the left with his football!
Qin Xiong proved his own value in this team and became a well-deserved core.
He makes his teammates trustworthy, but it also arouses his teammates' dissatisfaction!
Don’t think that there is only one Qin Xiong in Ajax!
If you underestimate others, you will regret it!
When Maxville dribbled through half the game, Monaco players realized that they were staring at the wrong person!
damn it!
Brazilian, why don't you pass the ball to that Chinese?
Pass the ball to him and let him challenge us!
If you have a good idea, you can also learn from him to ride alone!
If you have a good idea, don’t pass the ball!
Monaco's midfield line retreat was obviously slow because Maxville passed the ball!
After he passed the ball to Sneider, Sneider looked at the empty defense in front of the penalty area and cut in the horizontal dribbler. Under the guidance of Van Basten, although Sneider also had a lot of feelings about cutting into the horizontal dribbler in front of the penalty area. However, his pace and dribbler rhythm were not as fast as Qin Xiong, so in the dense defense area, his playing in this way was not as effective as Qin Xiong.
But now there is a spacious environment, he feels free to pull it up, and has the obvious confidence and chicness of Ajax players.
When Rodriguez rushed to intercept Sneijder, Sneijder passed the ball to Van der Fate, who was also in front of the penalty area.
Givet also rushed up and pressed Van der Fate. Dutch Golden Boy calmly passed the ball behind Givet. Pinal inserted into the middle of the penalty area, and Boom! Single shot!
Pinal, who controlled the ball in an oblique running position, faced Roma who was attacking. He deliberately crossed the football and then tried his best to turn the ball around and kicked the ball towards the far corner of the goal!
Roma subconsciously fell to the ground and stretched his legs to block the ball from rolling, but his toes couldn't touch the football. When he turned his head and looked at it, his expression was stiff and his eyes were dazed.
"The ball is in again! Ajax's fast break is very smooth! 3:1, with a total score of 5:3, Ajax has established an advantage of two goals ahead of Monaco! Now they are standing outside the goal of the Champions League final, and there is a high probability that they will push the door open at the end of the game to the Champions League final stage!"
Pinal's expression was distorted with excitement. Faced with the overwhelming cheers, he didn't know what to do to celebrate.
During this goal, Qin Xiong, who had zero touches, ran to celebrate with his teammates with a smile.
He is very happy and proud.
This team is becoming more and more mature. Perhaps because everyone is young and no one can stop each other, so when they can unite, they will never rely too much on anyone. When the opportunity arises, show themselves to the fullest!
From a technical and tactical perspective, Qin Xiong is also proud, so they should play like this!
With the shift in the center of gravity of offense and defense, hit the weakest link of the opponent, rather than being rigidly unchanged!
Deschamps made a morale gesture on the sidelines. Strictly speaking, when Monaco fell behind 3:4 in the total score, they scored a goal and the game would enter overtime. If they didn't want to play a penalty shootout, they would score another goal within 120 minutes, with two goals added together.
Now, the total score has become 3:5. There will definitely be no overtime and penalty shootouts in this game. Monaco needs to advance to the finals and at least two goals are needed.
Compared to their previous situation, there are no overtime and penalty shootouts, and Monaco has higher requirements and they need to score two more goals within 90 minutes.
The situation is getting worse and worse, but time is still there, and the possibility of a miracle has not been shattered, so Deshang does not give up, and the opportunity to become famous and supreme glorious is right in front of him. Who can give up easily?
Koeman couldn't help but tremble, not sure if it was excitement or nervousness.
He was trapped in a tangled thought.
He wanted to ensure the victory, but the substitution mistake in the last stage of the last game was a warning lesson. He was worried that his substitution adjustment would cause another disaster!
In the confrontation on a high-level stage, Koeman's talent is more reflected in his strategic layout, that is, quietly give him half a month to prepare for the game, so the team will perform well without any changes in the game. However, if there is a big fluctuation on the court, his on-site command will not be artistic, and it is mostly just a fair and orderly manner that goes with the flow. In the Champions League, being fair and orderly is actually equated with mediocrity or bad.
Fortunately, the Ajax technical and tactical system he created itself has strong creativity, the players' on-the-spot performance is unpredictable, and the chances of a star appearing with a flash of inspiration!
Compared with the technical and tactical systems of conservatives, even if the stars are talented, the space for self-exercise is limited by the tactical system, and it is difficult to exert their combat effectiveness beyond expectations.
Outsiders didn't know that Koeman looked very much like Wenger at this time. He walked faster and faster in prayer time.
He dared not make any changes, and he dared not make any changes!
He was worried that a positive change and adjustment he thought would cause Ajax's offensive and defensive system to collapse.
No?
The fact that a rat shit broke the porridge was happening almost every week on the football field.
Monaco players were unwilling to give up, and their mentality was already a little decisive and heroic at this time.
They sacrificed their league for the Champions League and had the opportunity to compete for the league championship no longer exists. Lyon and Paris Saint-Germain are in front of each other, and they have almost no chance of turning around.
It is very difficult to make such a sacrifice today. In the end, I can only fight and must fight!
Monaco itself was passionate and unrestrained, and when they stood on the edge of the cliff, they burst out with brutal blood, and their blood burned their minds.
When this passion and bloodiness are combined to fight against Ajax's passion and talent, the gap in overall strength is not big, and neither of them is the two teams that are so powerful that they are impeccable, making the game situation on the court begin to become disorderly and chaotic!
Qin Xiong never thought that he would be in a chaotic battle that made him feel incredible on the stage of the Champions League semi-finals!
Chapter completed!
