469 is stronger than ever
Ajax were more aggressive in the second half as they were behind at home.
Sneijder and Pienaar were the focal points of the attack.
In the 58th minute of the game, Sneijder received a pass from Galasek on the left side, Qin Xiong came to help defend this, Sneijder seemed to dribble to the bottom line, but when Qin Xiong rushed over, he decisively pulled the ball back, he did not completely pass Qin Xiong, but shook out the pass gap, and he passed the ball horizontally to the middle.
After the ball was played, Sneijder ran down the middle, where Pinar received a pass in front of Cesc Fabregas and then dribbled to the left, where Cesc Fabregas moved in parallel to ensure he could defend head-on.
But when Sneijder and Pienaar staggered past, Pienaar suddenly knocked the ball back, and Sneijder rushed past him and took the ball away at the same time.
Cesc Fabregas's physical center of gravity couldn't keep up at all, and Ajax's role in the front court was skilful and tacit.
But there is still someone who is going to guard Sneijder, and that is Qin Xiong!
Qin Xiong has been following Sneijder, Sneijder knows that Qin Xiong is difficult, maybe Qin Xiong's defensive skills are not outstanding, but his defensive awareness and prediction of the offensive and defensive situation are outstanding.
He sensed in the movement of Sneijder's run after his pass, and Sneijder would make a change of shape with Pinard.
But Snead was still full of confidence, and when he saw Qin Xiong approaching, he secretly said in his heart: You did a good enough, but unfortunately, your teammates made mistakes!
Sneijder passed the ball diagonally to the left front, and Qin Xiong suddenly looked back and was stunned to see that right next to him, Cesc Fabregas made the same move.
Fabregas didn't go to Pinar when he knocked the ball behind him. Instead, he went after Sneijder. This overlaps with Qin Xiong's targeting targets. This allows Pienaar to create unmarked attacking opportunities.
The most important test of the cross-rotation itself is the consistency of the defender's conversion of the marking target.
Fabregas broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, Ajax's attack was already paralyzed, and Babel's attack on the right was completely frozen, so it would be easier to defend logically, but he didn't expect that even if he only relied on the middle and left wing, Ajax would still be able to create a good threat.
He didn't dare to imagine what kind of explosive power Ajax, which had a large number of geniuses back then, would show in the unpredictable attack in the frontcourt!
It's no wonder that both Arsenal and Chelsea fell in front of Ajax.
Pienaar got to the edge of the box and didn't have much time left for him to handle the ball. He felt very helpless.
The young Babel couldn't contribute more in such an attack, Eboue was rushing in to intercept him, Toure and Senderos were eyeing Huntelaar, and Sneijder was also surrounded by Qin Xiong, Cesc Fabregas and Silva in the middle.
Ajax were able to push the attack into Arsenal's dangerous zone, but there were still too few options for the final blow.
Pienal had to choose to shoot on his own!
He blasted a shot of great quality, and Lehmann calmly and steadily pounced to keep the ball out of the net!
"A threatening attack from Ajax! It's a pity that Pinal's shot was denied by Lehmann! Pienal's shot was brilliant, Lehmann made a good save and Ajax looked like they had a good chance of equalising. ”
Arsene Wenger shook his head slightly from the sidelines. Cesc Fabregas is still a bit young after all and will need more experience to thrive in the Premier League and Europe. Handle it with ease.
The Premier League is the Premier League, and the European competition is the European competition, and the different battlefields naturally have different styles.
The Premier League is a unique style of its own rivers and lakes, and the European battlefield is a hundred schools of thought contending colorfully, and it is not impossible to conquer Europe with the thinking of the Premier League, but it is difficult and difficult.
The football blocked by Lehmann fell at the feet of Eboue, I don't know if he was intentional or unintentional, the forward clearance ball happened to fall in the middle circle of the midfield, Qin Xiong rushed forward, Sneijder was originally parallel to Qin Xiong's position, but after two steps he found that Qin Xiong was overtaking him, so he reached out to pull Qin Xiong's arm, but was habitually thrown away by Qin Xiong.
Snead gritted his teeth.
It's over!
Qin Xiong's ability to seize the opportunity of offensive and defensive transitions and the opponent's defensive flaws is not only known to Sneijder, but also known to many Ajax players who have been teammates with Qin Xiong!
In this case, Qin Xiong's threat was simply off the charts, he wanted a tactical foul just now, but missed the opportunity, he failed to grab Qin Xiong's arm.
Now I can only look at Qin Xiong's back and gradually move away, it's not that he doesn't work hard, it's not that he has given up, but he-mom can't catch up at all!
Qin Xiong went straight forward in the midfield, Ajax's defense line retreated step by step, and Qin Xiong observed the situation in the front court with calm eyes.
Thierry Henry runs down the middle, a point that Ajax must focus on at the first time.
Lindbergh retreated slowly, he had to defend, just when he stopped and planned to defend Qin Xiong head-on, it was when his rhythm changed, it was more difficult to rush again, and Qin Xiong simply unreasonably changed his direction in front of him to break through to the left front, Lindbergh defended and pounced, almost falling to the ground.
After breaking through Lindbergh's defense, Qin Xiong rubbed the ball forward with the outside of his right foot.
A half-high curl flew towards the direction of the Ajax penalty area.
Henry looked to have the ball with his back, but after Henry saw the trajectory of the ball, he looked at his left side, that is, the right side of Arsenal's attack, and he turned decisively to outflank the goal when the ball began to make a clear arc, which caught De Jong and Vermaelen off guard.
Why didn't Henry answer?
They turned to follow Thierry Henry only to see the ball go in a clear arc and go around the right side of the box.
Reyes rushed from behind Trabelsi into the penalty area, he didn't actually realize that Qin Xiong was going to pass the ball to him at the beginning, but he rushed forward again, and ran and found that Qin Xiong's curve ball was actually passed to him!
He didn't stop the ball and stuffed the ball directly into the middle of the goal, De Jong and Vermaelen didn't expect Henry's running position and Qin Xiong's true intention of passing in the previous defense, this time it was very passive, Vermaelen put a shovel to block the football, but when his toes were still 20 cm away from the football, he could only watch the football roll in front of him.
De Jong did not dare to foul in the penalty area, and was blocked by Henry on the outside again, this time he was weak in defense.
Henry responded to Reyes' pass and played it neatly, and pushed the ball to the bottom right corner of the goal with the arch of his foot, which was too close for Stekelenburg to react at all, and could only look at the ball and sigh!
'Arsenal scored the second goal! Henry's goal, Reyes's assist, and Qin Xiong's wonderful offensive planning, Arsenal's fast attack in this game pinched Ajax's weakness, and the left full-back, whether it was Emmanuelsson or Trabelsi, performed badly at the left full-back, and it was this flaw that gave Arsenal the opportunity to tear apart Ajax's defense!
