089 I love rain battles!
Thanks to "kylz" for the reward!
Adriansey has reason to have expectations for his team and crush Ajax!
Similarly, Alkmaar fans are full of confidence in the team!
This is not ridiculous!
Let’s take a look at Alkmaar’s record in the first nine rounds.
In addition to the first round of the league opening game, they unexpectedly lost to William II away. Similarly, William II is also the team that Adrians once coached, and he personally transformed William II into the middle class from the bottom to the middle. With that experience, Adrians suddenly gained reputation in the coaching circle!
Since that loss, Alkmaar has been in awesome and has been unbeaten in 8 games!
They achieved an impressive record of 7 wins and 1 draw.
They were tied by Feyenoord at home, and on the away game, they captured Philips Stadium!
In the standings, Alkmaar is now ranked second, giving Ajax 2 points behind! Leading the defending champion Psv Eindhoven 3 points!
They do not have the most popular geniuses in the Netherlands, Robben, van Persie, Kezerman, Van der Fat, Sneider, and Ibrahimovic. However, they rely on their tenacious overall combat power, unity and cooperation, and efficient tactical execution, and in the expectation of fans, they try to repeat the miracle more than 20 years ago: the landing of the orange land!
To conquer this land, you must defeat the most direct competitors!
Adrian Sen's heart was far less calm and serious than he seemed. He was arrogant, passionate, and in the cold wind and rain, as if his blood was boiling!
Ajax!
I took Alkmaar to the sky!
With PSV Eindhoven, Feyenoord, and you, Ajax!
Contest the throne!
Koman must know that Alkmaar is in too strong recently and can be said to be extremely arrogant!
So even if there will be a life-and-death battle in the Champions League in a few days, the main players of the team were still sent to this game against Alkmaar, just to let veteran Galasek avoid the battle.
At critical moments, the confrontation between competitors may have a crucial turning point impact on the whole season!
If Ajax loses!
Alkmaar usurped the throne and reached the top!
How encouraging will this be for Alkmaar, who is a "blue-collar warrior" in most teams?
But on the other hand, if Alkmaar could not win, he would either watch Ajax escape unscathed or worsen at their doorstep, and watch Ajax widen the gap with them, and at the same time he might be caught up by PV Eindhoven. How heavy would such a blow be for them?
It is precisely because of this factor that Ajax's late October and early November were the most difficult challenges in the first half of the season. Both the Champions League and two league games have a major impact on the whole season that is difficult to observe.
Qin Xiong could not see that he was greatly affected by the rain battle factor in this game. He performed very smoothly. On the one hand, he was well prepared, and on the other hand, he was under pressure. The opponent did not play in the middle lane, so his activities were not affected.
Ajax has been passive in momentum since the opening. In the storm, Alkmaar's overall rhythm has been fast from the beginning, his offense is clean and neat, and his return to defense is active. In addition, his physical condition is obviously stronger than Ajax, which makes Ajax unable to play his advantage in the offense and defense rhythm.
Qin Xiong did not force the team's pace, and pursued speed with Alkmaer, faster than his opponent!
This is unrealistic. First of all, the entire Ajax team does not want to do their best in this game. They hope to win the victory in a smarter and less expensive way. This requires Qin Xiong, the midfield commander, to remain calm at all times, not to drive the rhythm, and invisibly let his teammates explode frequently.
It seems that Qin Xiong does not control the overall situation like he did in past games, and he has become simple and inconspicuous.
He is thinking, observing, and collecting information about his opponent's overall formation and position.
On the basis of not being able to fight with the opponent quickly, the opponent's two defensive midfielders are close to the back line, which compresses the space for Van der Fate and Ibrahimovic in the middle.
Qin Xiong began to take advantage of this, and did not force himself to fight. He did the opposite, slow!
Unparalleled slowness!
It's slow to drag the mud!
Alkmaar retreated after the fast break. Qin Xiong did not use the difference in offense and defense conversion to play the fast break. Instead, he slowly cooperated with De Jong and the two full-backs. Sometimes he would slowly dribble in the midfield, waiting for his opponent to encircle him.
In the 11th minute, Mildick dribbled the ball from the right and ran for a long distance. On the cross from the side, Nellise was defeated by Escud in the competition for the header. Qin Xiong controlled the ball on the outside. He did not launch a counterattack. He walked in a leisurely manner to drive the ball slowly forward. After waiting for the opponent to chase the ball back, he passed the ball to Sneider on the side. However, Ajax obviously had no good chance of fast attack and turned into a positional battle.
Four minutes later, Van der Fate's long shot from the outside was blocked, Alkmaar played a fast break, and Huyseji threw away Sikora on the side, and suddenly dribbled the ball horizontally in front of Grigla, and was cut in by Qin Xiong back to defend and cut under his feet. Qin Xiong protected the ball 180 degrees on the spot and turned around, leaving Huyseji who was crazy pressing. The latter lost the ball and failed to grab it, and immediately retreated. Ajax still did not make a fast break under Qin Xiong's leadership.
This made Koeman on the sidelines unable to understand.
Not only did Qin Xiong not accelerate himself, he even did not hand over the ball to Van der Fate, allowing the captain to accelerate.
He seemed to be saying to everyone in the world: Ajax, just get the draw!
However, Qin Xiong observed his opponent's reaction every time he controlled the ball.
When Van der Fate had to retreat and take the initiative to ask Qin Xiong for the ball, Alkmaar's double midfielder had nothing to do.
Qin Xiong's slowing pace made Alkmaar very uncomfortable.
They want to win!
Not afraid of Ajax's attack.
In fact, the more Ajax attacked, the happier they were. They defended themselves with the overall defense, and then grasped the poor rhythm of the offense and defense conversion to fight Ajax's counterattack!
But Qin Xiong's slowing down the pace was a waste of time on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also made their boiling blood gradually cool down.
The state needs to be continued!
They shuttled up and down, and at a rhythm that they were very satisfied with, this rhythm was invisibly broken by Qin Xiong and became inconsistent, requiring pause, pause, and restart!
In order to maintain this rhythm, both backs moved!
Buskmoren boldly killed the midfielder and did not dare to steal Qin Xiong, but at least he had to follow Van der Fate and let his own two forwards siege Qin Xiong, forcing Ajax to not let Qin Xiong control the ball for a long time. The football rolled and flowed, and the rhythm would naturally speed up!
However, in the 24th minute, Buskmoren might not have realized it himself, but Adriansé must have suddenly realized it!
Qin Xiong, this Chinese player, is so cunning!
Another seemingly careless dribbling, Qin Xiong dribbling the ball from the back midfield to the center line. When Buskmoren followed Van der Fate, Qin Xiong suddenly made a long pass!
He deliberately kicked the ball high, and the football landing point was in the front midfield area, slightly away from the center. Another midfielder, Walters, could not rush to the landing point as soon as possible, so he could only let the football bounce.
Ibrahimovic was trapped in the double-team of two central defenders. He was a little helpless, but when he saw Qin Xiong's passing in his eyes while looking back, he subconsciously narrowed his eyes and his mind was running rapidly.
Playing football all year round has a habitual prediction of the flight trajectory of football after bounce, similar to the sixth sense.
If what you expect is not bad, the football bounces on the ground and then flies forward, and the landing point is exactly on the left side of Ibrahimovic!
On his left side, Alkmaer's central defender Vijake is guarding!
Probably everyone who makes predictions will think that Vijake can head the ball steadily. Even if Ibrahimovic is stronger than him, as long as he stands at the position, Ibrahimovic will definitely be punished for a foul!
However, Ibrahimovic did not rob or compete!
He ran behind Vijake!
Vijake's attention is still on football, and he is ready to head the ball to clear the ball.
At this moment, a strange smile appeared on Qin Xiong's face in the midfield.
Rain battle, I like rain battle!
It made me stronger and found fresh fun in playing football!
The football that was bouncing on the ground bounced up again and flew forward.
Vijake, who was originally planning to solve the situation, suddenly looked panicked!
Football, in a slippery field, has a significant acceleration under the influence of ordinary friction!
Vijake couldn't take off because he couldn't get rid of the situation even if he got off!
He turned around immediately, but he felt like he was seeing a ghost!
Ibrahimovic succeeded in counter-offside without any difficulty and stood at the real landing point of the football. At the moment the football fell, he half turned around and removed the ball with his chest, and he diagonally turned to the goal!
Facing the Dutch national team's No. 2 goalkeeper Timore, Ibrahimovic showed his super technical ability, stopped the ball in his chest, volleyed without waiting for the ball to land!
Football, enter the Internet with a sound!
Timore, no response!
