Once Ajax and Arsenal had gone through the initial defensive solidification, both sides began to develop their own attacking routines.

Don't look at Ajax at home, they have a geographical advantage, but Arsenal is mainly defensive and counter-oriented, and when playing fast attack, once Ajax increases troops in the frontcourt, their offensive threat will be the first to break out!

In the 27th minute, Ashley Cole pressed on the side again, this time with Pire's position on the left flank.

After a one-two-one, Ashley Cole cut into the inside, which surprised Qin Xiong very much.

In European football, full-backs have long been a bit of a manager's flexibility in their formation.

Conformist, full-backs, that is, full-backs in the literal sense of the word, are mainly defensive.

But in most giants, fullbacks must have good assist ability, that is to say, when the fullbacks are involved in the attack, they will become fullbacks or wingers at a certain WWW.UUXS.CC moment, such as Kaladze of AC Milan, Maxwell of Ajax, and the double card of the Brazilian national team.

In the more brilliant use of fullbacks, fullbacks can run long distances to cut into the inside of the penalty area and become forwards, commonly known as "changing forwards", because fullbacks can be flexible and changeable, but it is difficult to maintain stability in constant change, so in today's European football, the top fullbacks are priceless, rich, not necessarily able to buy, and they can be fullbacks, full-backs, wingers, and full-backs who can change forwards are very scarce.

Ashley Cole's shine this season is inseparable from Arsene Wenger's tuning, and it is precisely because of a player like Pire, who has the ability to play on the wing, provides more adaptability, so that Ashley Cole can get the selfless support of his teammates when cutting into the penalty area, and he is afraid to get the ball on the side of the front field, and rarely pass the ball to a fullback.

Arsenal's sharp attack down the left flank caused a headache for the Ajax defence.

At the heart of it was Arsenal who hid the attacking point.

Whether it is a defender or a midfielder, more attention is paid to the opposing forward, the midfielder's back insertion on the defense, in such a top game, the defense of Henry is hard enough, Bergkamp is forward if the pressure doubles, Pire and Ljungberg's ability to cut inside is extremely fearful, Vieira's back insertion is also not to be underestimated, plus a mysterious and powerful Ashley Cole, how can Ajax not be surprised and panicked?

Ashley Cole's inside cut into the box played the depth of the attack, containing the Ajax defense from a wide range of retreats, Grigra was attracted by Pire, Ashley Cole faced Heitinga's defense in the box, he did not come hard, directly passed the ball back to the top of the triangle penalty area.

At this time, Qin Xiong and Galasek worked together to guard against Henry.

The agile Henry occupied a favorable position, and Qin Xiong had no choice but to give up the interception and occupy a frontal defensive position instead.

But when the football rolled towards Henry, Qin Xiong was also a little surprised.

Henry opted for a leak!

He didn't look behind him, he stepped forward directly and passed by Qin Xiong.

Qin Xiong knew that if he turned around and chased Henry, he would lose the opportunity to defend against Henry.

So he paid attention to the trajectory of the football rolling, and then quickly observed Henry's trajectory, he stuck the position, stuck the line of his teammates to Henry's through ball!

Bergkamp controlled the ball three metres in front of Galasek and he did want to get a straight shot to Thierry Henry, and if he could do that, the attack would be a mercury drop.

But he found that Qin Xiong was blocking his passing line, so he could only change his mind and shoot directly from a distance!

The Ice Prince's long-range shot hit the bull's-eye, and Lobon fell to the ground, although he escaped, but fortunately Henry was not around, and Ljungberg's follow-up seemed a step slower, and Lobon got up again to pick up the ball from the ground and hold it in his arms.

Arsenal are starting to show their bloody fangs, and Ajax are not to be outdone.

Qin Xiong knew that he couldn't rush hard in the middle, and Vieira and Silva's defense was extremely tough and efficient.

In the 32nd minute of the fast attack, Pienal pinard pinned down the opponent's double back in the middle, Qin Xiong took the initiative to move to the left side, with Maxwell and Sneijder, forming a triangle attack system, the three of them skillfully and tacitly carried out the triangle pass, Qin Xiong pressed forward to the left side of the penalty area, Vieira came to help defend, he was not crazy to press, but to prevent Qin Xiong from cutting inside with the ball, but unexpectedly, Ajax, who was brewing an offensive on the left side, was transferred by Qin Xiong with a decisive long pass, and the attack was transferred to the right side.

Van der Vaart stopped the ball on the right outside the box and didn't hesitate to play Ibrahimovic as Arsenal's defensive centre of gravity shifted.

In order to ensure that Ibrahimovic can get the ball, the position where the ball is passed compresses the angle of Ibrahimovic's shot, Ibrahimovic follows the trajectory of the football, resists Toure, and half-turns and volleys directly!

Unfortunately, the angle was still too small, and his volley hit the side-netting.

Arsene Wenger was calm on the sidelines, but Koeman frowned.

There is a delicate balance on the scene.

The balance is that both teams are playing fast and both are dominated by wide attacks.

Ajax and Arsenal were both able to create chances on goal.

But it wasn't a great opportunity to attack.

It's just that under this balance, Ajax hides the crisis.

That is, when Qin Xiong assists and must be supported by full-backs, Ajax can play an efficient attack on the wing, otherwise, it will be difficult to tear apart Arsenal's defense due to insufficient troops.

However, Arsenal mostly played counter-attacks in midfield and did not need to commit more troops to create a dangerous attack.

Koeman's concern is that if Ajax's fast attack is a direct interception in Arsenal's central midfield and then turns around to instigate a counter-attack, Ajax's backfield defense will look empty.

What to be afraid of, what to come.

In the 41st minute of the game, Qin Xiong came to the front field to move on the side and sent a through pass to Ibrahimovic, Ibrahimovic did not start at the first time, he wanted to adjust again, trying to shake a better shooting angle in front of Campbell, but he neglected Silva's return defense, and the ball at his feet was destroyed by Silva and stabbed directly to Lehmann.

Arsenal goalkeeper Lehmann played the ball diagonally to Lauren, who played diagonally to Vieira, who then crossed diagonally to another wide and Ashley Cole sprinted forward at a brisk pace.

Arsenal's whirlwind on the wing, again!

Qin Xiong gave up his life to run to the backfield, but Arsenal's passing was very fast, and this time the defense, his starting position was not good, he was already too deep into the enemy area, and the return distance was too far.

Ashley Cole cut inside past midfield, Pienal's retreat was defeated by Ashley Cole and Bergkamp's one-two, Ashley Cole crossed through the ribs of the penalty area, and Pire, who was diagonally inserted between the centre-back and full-back, kept the ball back into the middle.

Henry won the ball in front of the penalty area, he already had a shot angle in front of him, and Galasek came to help defend it, and Henry pulled the ball back, took the reverse cut line, and shook Galasek away.

In the middle of the penalty area, the vision in front of Henry was slightly empty, except for central defender Escude, there was only the goal and goalkeeper Lobont.

Henry got his feet!

A kick was blasted out, the football with a strong spin, crossed an inward arc in the sky, Lobon flew to the extreme, but his fingertips failed to touch the football, the ball fell into the upper right corner of the goal, a dead corner!

"Thierry Henry! Thierry Henry scored a brilliant goal when he met Pire's pass from outside the box, calmly shook off Galasek and flicked the ball to the right before curling a ball into the corner of the goal without interference. Arsenal lead Ajax 1-0 away from home! ”

Henry, the king of the guns, swung his arms and nodded as he ran backwards on the sidelines, his eyes on each teammate, and although he was not yet the captain of the team, he was the key figure the team relied on as the core of the attack.

Teammates rushed up to huddle Henry in front of the visitors' stands as they celebrated the goal.

Thierry Henry's goal was like a punch to the heart of the Ajax people, leaving them depressed and unable to breathe.

Wenger clenched his fists and waved, then applauded his disciples.

Qin Xiong walked towards the backfield with a solemn face.

Arsenal's anti-counter power is not to be underestimated.

Not only did Ajax not be able to attack in the middle, but even if they played on the wing, they didn't seem to be able to attack on the left, Lauren was very solid defensively, and he didn't get forward as often as Ashley Cole.

The most troublesome thing for Qin Xiong is to prevent Arsenal's fast attack, if one of his fullbacks and midfielders is not in the defensive area, the backfield is too empty, and the opponent will lightningly advance the attack to the heart of Ajax, and pass and cut smoothly, which can greatly increase the probability of creating a deadly threat.
