When the game was in the second half, the scoreboard of Janbredel Stadium was displayed on the scoreboard.

The game was not surprising. Ajax showed an extremely strong desire to win from the beginning and launched a round of attacks on the go. However, Bruges, who was fighting at home, was obviously prepared for this. Two tall central defenders kept holding on to Ibrahimovic.

The Swedish center was frozen by the opponent in the entire first half.

Mitea on the left also did not perform. In the frontcourt of Ajax, only Wesley Songk on the right performed quite well. In an attack near the end of the first half, he suddenly scored into the penalty area and earned a penalty for the team. The Belgian striker personally took the penalty and scored his fourth goal in the Champions League group stage this season.

But before Songkir scored a penalty, Bruges took advantage of a set piece in the frontcourt in the 28th minute, with the opportunity of a set piece in the frontcourt, high center forward Lang Li beat Heatinga and Escud, and headed the ball in front of the goal to score a goal.

After the second half of the game, Ajax still frequently launched attacks against Bruges, but the home team defended very steadily and did not leave Ajax with any chance, which made Ajax very depressed when playing away.

Fortunately, in another game far away in Milan City, AC Milan and Vigo Celta were also 1-1. The two teams scored goals in the 40th and 42nd minutes respectively.

This made the Ajax players on the court secretly relieved, but everyone knew that if they could no longer break through the opponent's goal, the situation would only become increasingly unfavorable to Ajax.

Of course, the pressure is from both sides, and Bruges and Vigo Celta, who is far away in Milan, are also under great pressure.

Now it depends on which of the three parties has stronger pressure resistance.

"Bruges head coach Trende Soleid looks like he's going to make a substitution."

"This is to replace Rooney Lange with Benguet Setness, which is a very obvious signal to strengthen the offense."

"Both players are high centers, both of which are 1.87 meters tall, and they are both Norwegian fellows from Soleid. They are very good at grabbing high balls. Lange just used this opportunity to break through Ajax's goal."

"But what I want to say is that Setness is stronger than Lange, especially good at physical confrontation, and has a very advantageous position. Before this game, he has always been Bruges' center, but only scored one goal in the first five Champions League games. Lange scored two goals just now, which was slightly better."

"Trend Soleid replaced Settenes at this time, obviously trying to use Settenes' advantage in physical confrontation to suppress Ajax's midfield and backcourt, which will be a very big challenge for Heatinga and Escud."

"Look at this attack from Bruges."

"Sure enough, I went directly to find Settenice in the frontcourt. Ajax's two central defenders were at a disadvantage in terms of height and strength confrontation. Settenice grabbed the first landing point and then passed it back to the teammates, assigned to the wing, and then passed it again... accidentally passed it big."

"But we can also see the changes in Bruges' offense after Setness came on the court."

"Ajax should be careful, this is a dangerous sign."

Yang Yang came back from the warm-up area and was about to sit back on the bench when he suddenly heard the fans in the stands exclaim, then sighed with disappointment. He turned around and happened to see the Bruges player making a diagonal pass and directly sent the ball into the penalty area.

Ajax's goalkeeper Robonte made a decisive attack and got the ball.

This made Yang Yang frown. When he sat back on the bench, he happened to hear veteran Litmanin shook his head and sighed: "The center forward who was replaced by Bruges at this time is very dangerous. If he didn't score goals in several consecutive games this season, it often means that he is extremely hungry for goals, and his physical advantage is very obvious."

Ajax's central defenders pay great attention to playing goals. Heatinga and Escud are both central defenders with good shooting skills, but the contradiction that follows is that these two central defenders do not have an advantage in terms of height or physical confrontation, especially when facing high center forwards like Lange and Sethness, which are exposed more obviously.

Maxwell and Trabelsey on both sides are very active and attacking frequently, but the consequence is that there is a lot of room behind him. Once the opponent seizes the opportunity and strikes from both wings, the high center forward who follows the opponent in the middle will become very fatal.

"Our offense has not been straightened out. If this continues, the situation will only get worse and worse." Litmanin said again.

Yang Yang strongly agrees with Litmaning's judgment.

Ajax's current problem is mainly the contradiction of ball rights distribution. Ibrahimovic and Van der Fate are both players who need to get the ball. Both of them are in the middle, one in front and the other, and there is conflict between them. In addition, they are not active on the wing, which makes the ball too concentrated in the middle when they reach the frontcourt.

The consequence is that Bruges is easier to defend, and Ajax's offense is slow and it is difficult to create a threat.

Not only Ibrahimovic performed poorly, but Mitya and Songk also performed poorly.

Needless to say, the former is basically not good at the left, and Songk was also tangled by Van der Hayden on the right. Apart from that penalty kick, he basically did not perform well.

"I guess it's going to be a replacement," Yang Yang guessed.

"In the Milan side, Vigo Celta scored a goal!"

"What?"

Ronald Koeman opened his eyes wide and stared at his assistant, unable to believe his ears.

"Ancelotti just replaced Costakuta with young player Abat and reorganized the defense line, but the defense line was loose. Pete Lusin assisted Jose Ignacio to score a goal, and the score is now one-to-two."

Luther Carroll looked a little panicked, but he still quickly reported the information he had just received.

Vigo Celta just scored a goal and he immediately received the call.

Ronald Koeman quickly woke up from his shock. He clearly realized that the game could not continue like this and he must quickly win the goal, otherwise he would probably lose the right to qualify.

"Quick, let Litmanin prepare to play."

After hearing this, Luther Carroll immediately turned around and shouted at Litmanin on the bench. The latter quickly jumped out of his seat. He was ready to warm up no longer.

"Who is replaced?" Luther Carroll asked with concern.

Yes, who are you going to replace?

Ronald Koeman hesitated a little, and he didn't have many choices to make at this time.

Although Mitya performed poorly, she was still able to restrain her opponent on the left. Songkle was on the right. No matter who she took, Ajax's wing would lose the threat, which was extremely unfavorable for the offense.

But soon, Ronald Koeman made a choice.

…………

…………

A minute after Vigo Celta's goal, Ajax replaced Mitya with Litmanin.

Van der Fate was pushed to the left winger in the frontcourt, with Litmanin and Sneider occupying the middle, responsible for the team's midfield organization and passing, which completely sounded the horn of Ajax's Jedi counterattack.

Vigo Celta scored, and Ajax had no choice.

Only by scoring goals and defeating Bruges can the team have hope of qualifying. Otherwise, they can only play in disgrace to the League Cup.

But Bruges also knew the difficult situation Ajax faced, and Trende Soleid quickly made a second substitution adjustment, replacing an offensive player in the frontcourt with a defensive midfielder Smalldes, further strengthening the defense in the midfield and backcourt.

Ajax continued to launch an offense, but Bruges retreated steadily until his half. Through strict defense, it was always difficult for Ajax to find an effective offensive opportunity.

…………

…………

"Ajax made his second substitution in this game, replacing Wesley Songk with Sayetters."

"This is still a signal to strengthen the attack."

"Ronard Koeman has been forced to give it a try."

"Van der Fate's performance on the left side was not ideal, but he was still adjusted to the front position of the midfield, circling behind center Ibrahimovic, Sayetars played on the left, and on the right, he pushed out the Tunisian right-back Trabelsi who returned to this game."

"Ajax is now red-eyed, but there is not much time left for them."

"The time has entered eighty minutes, and there are only the last ten minutes left, plus stoppage time."

"In fact, Ajax should slow down the offensive appropriately and let Bruges press out so that they will get more offensive space. On the contrary, as now, pressing so much, not only allows the opponent to organize a tight defense, but also expose the blockbuster space behind him. This is also an opportunity for Bruges, who is good at playing defensive counterattacks."

"I believe Ronald Koeman knows his current situation very well, but he has no choice."

"Vigo Celta leads AC Milan two-to-one. The Ross and Blacks have no fighting spirit at all in this game. Vigo Celta is very likely to win. Only by winning can Ajax beat Vigo Celta through their battle results and qualify as the second place in the group."

"But now, in addition to paying attention to the offense, Ajax also needs to pay attention to defense, especially the two sides, which is too forward, which leaves a huge room for counterattack for Bruges."

"Okay, we just said that Bruges launched a counterattack."

"Passing to the left, Van der Hyde quickly inserted, and a quick counterattack from Bruges."

"Van der Hayden dribbled the ball on the left, and Trabelsey and De Jong fought desperately to return to defense."

"A cross from the ball, passed into the penalty area..."

"The ball is in!!!"

"Setness!!!"

"I was just saying that Ajax must be careful of Setness."

"This player was hungry for the goal and scored a goal for Bruges in the 84th minute after he came on the bench."

"This should be a final kill!"

"Setness's goal completely defeated Ajax's dream of qualifying for the Champions League. If they cannot equalize the score, they may be eliminated with group points and missed the League Cup."

"This goal has hit morale too hard."

"At this time, being scored by the opponent in this way will be a huge blow to Ajax."
